Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Chapter 105 The Road of Legends has come to an end, so what about Guleton and Milton?

"Great! That completes the task!"

The kitchen of Bao Canteen.

The secret seasoning sandwich is a success!

However, this time Oreki didn't have Tiraemon cook, but only had it prepare the side dishes, because he was worried that the other party's "intermediate cooking" might affect the effectiveness of the seasonings.

He didn't even mix the different seasonings.

So the Godfather's lunch was quite lavish, consisting of three sandwiches!

Of course, considering the condition of the Mastiff Godfather, apart from keeping the whole secret seasoning plant unchanged, the amount of bread slices and side dishes were reduced accordingly.

Even to stimulate the other person's appetite, sandwiches with sour seasonings were placed first.

They really put in a lot of effort!

As for the remaining two portions, they can only be made at the Niangguang Dojo on the way back.

"That Qishu, she's nowhere to be seen now."

After muttering a quiet complaint, Oreki and Tireyon each carried their trays out, leaving the other chefs staring at each other in bewilderment.

These days, even Tilley Cat's knife skills are better than theirs; she wields two kitchen knives with incredible skill.

Husband's Hall.

The more expectant Papa looked, the more reluctant those around her were to bear it.

Currently, they can only pin their hopes on their history teacher, who always does things unpredictably and always manages to surprise them.

It has to be said, it's quite bizarre—

I didn't have to wait too long.

Oreki walked over with a smile.

"Come on, dinner's ready, there's food for everyone."

'

""

You mean a regular sandwich that we can all eat can cure the Mastiff Godfather?

"Why are you looking at me like that? Just try it and you'll see. The worst that can happen is that it won't work at all."

Oreki knew that words were not enough, and he wouldn't believe the special abilities of the secret seasoning unless he finished the game's storyline.

What kind of things can help regional mythical beasts regain their lost power?

What's the difference between you and someone who can't fly being controlled by a red gem?

However, regardless of what others thought, Pipa had already regarded it as his last hope.

If all else fails, he will have no choice but to take the mastiff godfather on a trip to find a cure.

Taking the plate from Oreki, Pipa subconsciously swallowed as she looked at the slightly miniature sandwich on it.

Will this really work?

"Godfather of the Mastiffs, want to try some?"

Picking up the sandwich closest to him, Pipa held it up to the mastiff godfather's mouth.

The Mastiff Godfather raised his head listlessly, sniffed lightly with his yellowish-brown nose, and a glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

There is a play!

Pipa, who was constantly observing the other person's expression, was invigorated.

"Eat."

Just a reminder, the Mastiff Godfather slowly opened his mouth and swallowed the sandwich in one gulp.

Then comes the slow-motion chewing.

Everyone present held their breath, fearing that the Mastiff Godfather would lie back down again at any moment.

Whether you believe it or not, when things get really tough, everyone hopes the sandwich will work.

"Awooo—"

After swallowing the sandwich with difficulty, the Mastiff Godfather let out his first bark since regaining consciousness.

Weak, low-spirited, and still a bit—unsatisfied?

In just a short while, it even began to show signs of struggling to stand up.

"It really works!!"

Piper shouted excitedly, startling Nemo, who quickly covered his mouth and pulled him back to sit down.

It's lunchtime and the hall is packed with people, so it's best not to disturb other diners.

"I was too excited."

Piper immediately apologized, saying that nothing was more important than "pressing the attack."

He gave Oreki an inquiring look.

"Yes, just feed them one serving at a time."

With Oreki's approval, Pipa then fed the two sandwiches to the Mastiff Godfather.

A miracle then occurred!

The illness that had baffled Miss Joy actually improved significantly with the help of three sandwiches!

The Mastiff Godfather slowly stood up, his cloudy eyes regained their brightness, and his somewhat dry fur regained its luster.

"Awoo!"

Its cries are no longer weak!

The mastiff father stuck out his tongue and affectionately licked Pipa's face.

"The Godfather of the Mastiffs—"

If it weren't for the many people watching, Pipa felt she would have burst into tears.

As his childhood companion and savior, the Tibetan Mastiff Godfather held a significance for him that, to some extent, even surpassed that of his parents.

"Wow! That's awesome!"

Nemo, who had initially reminded Pipa to be mindful of her manners, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Nemo, keep your voice down."

Poppi quietly tugged at Nemo's sleeve.

Hehe~

Nemo scratched her head, gave an awkward smile to the other diners who were casting curious glances at her, and apologized.

"call"

Miss Joey breathed a sigh of relief.

"It actually recovered—"

Can't help but.

Her eyes seemed to sparkle with stars when she looked at Oreki.

If I could get the other person to teach me this amazing skill, I would be able to easily solve such difficult problems in the future!

"???"

Is it really necessary to be so direct, Miss Joey?

"Cough cough."

With two light coughs, Oreki reminded Miss Joey to pay attention to her personal appearance.

You're looking a bit too infatuated right now!

"Oops! Sorry, I lost my composure—"

Miss Joy knelt with her head bowed, her toes curled tightly together on her buttocks.

How embarrassing!

I got a little too carried away—

Ugh—my face is so hot—

Seeing that Joey's "redness" had spread to her ears in just a moment, Oreki quietly looked away.

"Don't just stand there, sandwiches taste best when they're hot."

After urging everyone to start eating, he said to Piper, "Actually, the treatment for the Mastiff Godfather is not over yet. Come with me to the Brewmaster Dojo later. There are two other herbs I left there."

"Herbal medicine?"

Aoki caught the word and thought of the unknown herbs in the Stone Bird Cave under the Treasure Master yesterday.

"That's right, those are the herbs I picked yesterday. The size of the Pokémon is due to them."

"I see."

Aoki suddenly realized and secretly decided to check on the territories of the various treasure owners every now and then to ensure that the magical herbs could continue to grow.

This can also be seen as a way for the alliance's top management to protect the ecological environment.

"Oriki, come here for a second."

Suddenly, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Xinli pulled Zhemu aside.

"What's wrong, Sister Xinli?" Oreki asked.

Glancing at Piper, who was tightly embracing the Mastiff Godfather, Cindy took a deep breath and asked, "Has something happened to Dr. Orin?"

59

'

Hey Hey hey!

Don't ask such a question at such a happy time, my friend!

"really!"

Seeing Oreki fall silent, Shin-ri's heart sank.

When the Alliance received Aoki's report in the morning, Dr. Orin was having a holographic projection conversation with Yeci.

The conversation, as always, consisted of pointless topics, such as the research progressing smoothly and there was nothing to worry about.

The other party never mentioned Paradox Pokémon.

They had only just learned the word "paradox" from Oreki.

Not to mention the fact that the majestic tooth broke through the barrier, Dr. Orin, who was communicating with her, did not mention it at all, as if she knew nothing about it.

Considering the increasingly turbulent atmosphere within the Padia Pit during this period, Ye Ci and Xin Li concluded that "Dr. Orin is very likely to have met with an accident."

This is also the main reason why Xinli came to find Oreki.

"Would you mind revealing when—um—Dr. Orin suffered the accident? And how did she manage to stay in touch?"

Xin Li sighed, her voice low.

Eight years ago, Dr. Futu, Pipa's father, died unexpectedly during his research on the Crystal Beads. This was a huge blow to both Pipa and the Alliance.

Unexpectedly—

Now, Pipa is an orphan.

Wait, something's not right!

I heard from the president that Oreki's parents also died in an accident during his research, and he was even younger than Pipa at the time.

this----

"If I'm not mistaken, she communicated with the chairman using a pre-programmed AI projection. I'm not entirely sure of the exact time of the accident —"

As Oreki frowned in thought, he met Xin Li's same "looking at a pajama" gaze. "Wait, what kind of look is that??"

"Alas, my condolences."

?

What are you talking about?

After the meal.

Because Aoki and Xinli both needed to rush back to the League to write reports, Oreki's gym challenge application was ruthlessly rejected.

but.

"Altair just told me that with the strength of your three Pokémon, passing the gym challenge will be a piece of cake."

Aoki took a badge out of his briefcase.

"Given your valiant performance this morning, this badge, symbolizing ordinariness, is yours. As for the TM—with your physique, you shouldn't need to push yourself too hard, right?"

After making a lame joke, Aoki still handed over the "hard-to-hold" move learning device.

! !

At this time.

Oreki suddenly realized that Lip hadn't given him the learning device for mentally stimulating techniques yesterday!

Forget it.

Since they can't be sold anyway, and Kirlia has already learned this trick, it's fine to just not have them.

But the words came back again.

Do you, the Padian League, really give out badges so casually?

Nemo and Pipa are here, don't lead them astray!

【Ding! 】

[Hunter's Certificate successfully obtained. Current certificate count: 7]

Hey, it feels great to get something for nothing!

soon.

The group split into two groups.

Aoki and Xinli went directly back to Tabletop City to report the situation, while Oreki took Nemo and Pipa to Brightlight City to give the Mastiff Godfather his final treatment. As for Miss Joy—she was responsible for "reluctantly parting."

Of course, while it's called a "broken wood belt," it's actually a steel-armored raven that sits on a wave-shaped harpy and—

"Tanabata Bluebird, are you really sure you don't want to give Brother Aoki a ride?"

"Li~"

Altaria said it was irrelevant, since all the trainers had Flying-type Pokémon, and it didn't matter if Altaria had one more.

Zhemu was speechless.

That being said, your happy little expression always seems to make Aoki-nii feel a little sad—

As evening fell, the group of four landed at the Niangguang Dojo.

Having received advance notice, Qishu stood sleepily at the door, waiting with the little Magnemite on its head spinning erratically, as if it were about to plunge into the embrace of the earth at any moment.

Oreki leaped off the Altaria. "You were out thieving last night, weren't you?"

"Senior—uh~" Qi Shu yawned and explained, "I got so engrossed in researching cooking techniques with the Electric Frog that I accidentally stayed up all night—and I was worried about jet lag, so I just didn't sleep—"

As she spoke, she yawned again and fell straight down towards Oreki.

? !

I'm outta here!

Oreki turned sideways and tossed the Sweet Ball.

Kirlian appeared and raised her hand to touch Kirito's forehead.

Then he used his superpowers to force her to stand at attention.

"Sleeping anywhere, huh? Typical of you!"

Seeing that the strange tree had already fallen asleep, Zhemu felt somewhat ashamed.

He didn't know how long the other person endured the "yawning" state.

"Li~"

Nearby, the Qixi Bluebird flapped its wings, preparing to leave.

Upon hearing the sound, Oreki turned his head and produced an extra sandwich he had made at noon.

"Thank you for your hard work these past two days, Qixi Bluebird."

"Li~~"

The Qixi Bluebird, having tasted the sweetness of the sandwich made by the other party, immediately opened its mouth.

Why does this guy look more and more like my Pokémon?

Oreki suddenly had this idea and fed the sandwich to the Tanabata.

"Li~"

Enjoying the delicious food, the fatigue from the long journey vanished, and the Qixi Bluebird took flight.

Boom!

The two Poké Balls at Oreki's waist opened one after the other.

Tirey and the little blacksmith landed and waved goodbye to the Tanabata in the sky together with Kirlia.

After a day and a half together, they had already developed a deep bond.

Even the jealous Tire Cat felt a little reluctant at this moment.

Because—it hasn't experienced what it's like to sit on a cotton bird yet!

"Remember to come find us in Hoenn-Kanaz City if you have the chance!" Oreki shouted.

"Li~~"

A loud chirping sound echoed back from afar.

Watching the Tanabata Bluebird disappear into the afterglow of the setting sun, Oreki withdrew his gaze.

"Alright, let's completely cure the Mastiff Godfather now."

"Yay!!"

Nemo seemed even more excited than Pipa.

After the last sweet sandwich was swallowed by the mastiff godfather, it was completely reborn and was in even better condition than before it was injured!

"Awooo!!"

With a loud howl, the Mastiff Godfather wagged his tail and ran to Oreki, rubbing his head against his thigh repeatedly.

"Don't let Papa run into the Padia pit next time!"

Oreki gave his instructions.

"Awoo!"

After a moment's hesitation, the Mastiff Godfather nodded emphatically.

It was lucky to survive this time and also happened to meet someone who could treat it; it might not be so lucky next time.

Few of the ferocious Pokémon inside the giant crater are currently within its capabilities.

Even if we want to explore further, we have to wait until our strength has improved.

Oreki also emphasized a similar idea to Papa.

"I understand, Brother Oreki. I won't take the Mastiff Godfather on any more adventures until I have sufficient strength."

After this battle, Pipa seemed to mature a lot in an instant.

Nemo, who was nearby, overheard their conversation and excitedly chimed in.

"Count me in! Count me in! Pipa, let's go challenge the Padia League together!"

"Challenging the Padiya League?"

"Yes, that way we'll know exactly where our strength stands. If we can clear the Champion's Path, then we'll definitely have the ability to explore the Pardia Pit!"

Nemo's thinking was very clear.

I think it's okay.

""

Oreki agreed.

It seems that the process was completely wrong, but the result was inexplicably correct?

Nemo seized this opportunity to successfully embark on the challenge of becoming a champion.

Maybe next year we can become champions?

Piper has therefore decided to catch Pokémon to become stronger, and maybe next year or the year after, he'll explore the Padia Crater.

Thinking of this, Oreki sighed again in his heart.

He and Xinli reached a consensus that Piper should investigate Dr. Orin's misfortune on his own, and the Alliance would only provide necessary assistance without interfering too much.

and many more!

Besides the main characters, the exploration team is missing Botan, who's a top pick for Eevee.

Where is Peony now?

Has the Tianxing Team incident begun?

A host of questions flooded Oreki's mind, leading him to choose to give up thinking.

Although he is a teacher, he is from Kanaz Academy.

The story of the Orange Academy's Star Team—

Sigh, I guess I just can't just ignore it.

I'll remind the chairman when I have the chance.

For now, it seems the "Path of Legends" main storyline has come to an end—or so it seems??

Who can fill in the gap between Gullardon and Milnerton that I'm missing?!

Just as he was mentally complaining, Nemo suddenly tiptoed up and approached him with her little face upturned.

"So—Oreki-senpai, let's play a game!"

"ah??"
