Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

I'm counting on you for the final chapter, Speaker Guy!

The sun gradually set.

The battleground of Orange Academy was still bustling with activity.

The other group of semifinals.

Lip drew the Pokémon Florges, which she knew very well, and successfully defeated Glusha to advance to the finals.

After a short break, the final match kicked off on time amidst cheers!

Looking at the first Poké Ball from the left, Oreki fell into deep thought once again.

Speaker Crab —

That's like a damn persistent ghost!

Oreki couldn't help but secretly swear.

Just now, he didn't even look at the speaker's information.

This time, not believing in superstitions, he took a look.

Oh?

Is this another hidden feature?

Krillin's hidden ability, Technician: It can increase the power of low-power moves when attacking.

Ugh!

If you could evolve even one level, I'd pick any speaker-type cricket or speaker-type cricket warrior to play.

If you give Snorkel some effective stat boosts, combined with its unique abilities and the Bug-type move Deadly Sting, it will definitely have a place on the battlefield.

"Deadly Needle: If this move defeats the opponent, the attack power will be greatly increased."

Unfortunately, the heavens did not create a speaker-shaped cricket, and the insect world has remained in eternal darkness!

next.

Eat flowers.

What are you doing here if you don't have Mega Evolution?

Keep reading.

Babu Tubo, Pangyan Monster, Hairy Cliff Crab, Land Jellyfish, Dream-Inducing Tapir —

Have all the Dream Eaters arrived?

Oreki said he had a headache.

How do you team up these Pokémon that have absolutely nothing in common?

Error, etc.

If there is a giant rock monster—

Oreki suddenly realized that Pang Yan was incredibly slow.

Another plan formed in my mind, but one condition was still missing.

With this in mind, he clicked on the basic information of the dream guide.

If we're talking about who's most likely to possess the missing condition, then it's only the Psychic-type Pokémon, Dreamweaver.

as predicted.

When Oreki saw the "Trick Room" in the technique he had mastered, he breathed a sigh of relief.

That makes things much easier.

First, choose the Hypnos and Gigantamax, then select the slowest Pokémon.

? ?

Thinking of this, Oreki froze.

It seems that among the remaining Pokémon, the slowest is—Krillin?!

[Oreki-senpai was obviously slow in choosing his Pokémon this time. Was the Pokémon he drew really bad?]

[I think so, Guild Master Lip has already selected and submitted the item request.]

[Is it still impossible? Oreki-sensei/crying]

[I stayed up until dawn because I didn't want to see Oreki-sensei give it his all but still be unable to win!]

As the countdown was about to end, Oreki finally finished selecting his Pokémon and submitted the list of items he needed.

In that case, I'll leave it to you this time, Speaker Squeeze Hero!

"Please send out your starting Pokémon."

Seeing that both players were ready, the referee gave the instructions.

"Go, Godfather Mastiff!"

"The Dream-Guiding Baku is now in your hands."

Seeing this, Lip, who was wearing heavy makeup and a short dress, was immediately filled with confidence.

She was really lucky in this battle.

Not only did I draw a familiar Pokémon in the last round, but I also gained an advantage in the first Pokémon I drew in this round.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she spoke with great interest.

"Oreki-kun, you should come to Beggarstown sometime! I'd love to discuss Kirlia breeding with you."

In fact, she and Oreki had met several years ago.

At the time, she was two years ahead of Oreki. Before becoming the owner of the salon after graduation, she had been learning makeup techniques at a beauty salon in Takakichi City.

One time, Oreki went to the wrong hair salon, and that's how they met, so it's not a problem for her to call him "junior."

If I had to say, most of the curators in Padia came from the Orange Academy.

Even Uncle Haidai at noon, Zhemu can call him "senior senior".

"I'm really looking forward to it, Lip-senpai."

Oreki couldn't tell if the other person was trying to disrupt the rhythm of the battle or just being polite, so he could only respond politely.

The live chat was buzzing with activity as the two of them spoke.

What's the name of that yellowish, ugly-looking Pokémon?

The Dream-Dreaming Baku is relatively common in the Kanto and Johto regions.

[The guy in the previous picture clearly hasn't seen anything good. In some comics, he's a long-lasting, popular villain with blond hair.]

I have a friend who wants to borrow a talking phone.

"What are you guys talking about?"

Qi Shu said he couldn't understand the comments again. Why was the Dream Eater in the comic, and why was he blond?

"Shouldn't we be cheering for Oreki-senpai right now?"

Although Lip was her senior, she still wanted to see Oreki overcome all obstacles and win the championship.

This way, we might be able to create another formulaic video, and we could even add the keyword "champion" to ride the wave of popularity.

The champion of the battle event is also a champion!

[The adorable Qishu is indeed innocent.]

The moment I saw the Dream Eater and the Mastiff Godfather, my heart died; there was no point in continuing to cheer them on.

[Hopefully, Oreki-sensei can give the other side a good time —]

"How could you do this!"

at the same time.

Seeing that the two sides had finished their verbal sparring and pleasantries, the referee at the edge of the field waved his flag at the appropriate time.

"Then, let the competition begin!"

Lip immediately got into action and commanded, "Godfather Mastiff, charge over and tear it apart!"

This Dark-type move, when combined with a Power Headband, has a very high chance of instantly killing the opponent.

"The Dream Eater, the Magic Space."

As Oreki directed, a grid-like array of cubic spaces appeared around the arena.

But just as the grid space disappeared into the void, the blood-red maw of the Mastiff Godfather slammed down on the Dream-Guiding Membrane Man.

Boom! !

The Dream Eater showed a pained expression.

At the critical moment, a situation similar to the previous round of battle occurred.

A strip-shaped prop fell from the hair of the Dream-Guiding Man.

"You really like using your aura sash, huh!"

Lip's smile remained unchanged. "But if I remember correctly, Dream Eaters can't learn to repay double."

Hmm? That's not right!

I recalled the battle between Oreki and Shinri in my mind.

But it seems like—it might be a reckless act?

As if to confirm her guess, Oreki revealed a harmless smile: "Reckless."

It's true, one trick is all you need!

At first, he was worried that similar moves wouldn't be able to trick two people in a row.

He was prepared for Lip to find out.

However, when faced with a situation where there is a type advantage and speed is superior, it seems that no one can resist the joy of "one-hit kill".

Even if the person opposite is the owner of the venue.

"What if I don't use the Aura Sash?"

This is probably the thought that most people would have.

"Item-based rock-paper-scissors" is also a skill in Pokémon battles.

Of course, there might be another reason besides that.

Even gym leaders and Elite Four members cannot possibly memorize all the moves that every Pokémon can learn.

Not to mention, you also need to be able to react quickly and remember during Pokémon battles.

Looking at it this way, my system encyclopedia is actually quite authoritative?

"Godfather Mastiff, keep crushing it!"

Lip hurriedly shouted, trying to stop the opponent's move.

However, after the right to act was reversed, the Dream-Guiding Membrane Man's movements became unusually rapid.

Without saying a word, it directly rammed its yellow head into the mastiff godfather.

boom!

The Mastiff Godfather let out a miserable howl and flew backward.

Fortunately, when the two came into contact, it successfully took a second bite, completely defeating the Dream Eater.

but.

Before we could even mourn for the male protagonist of this doujinshi, the Dream Eater, the next character to appear is the Speaker Cricket!

When a Pokémon with a bright red body, a pair of mustaches, and an abdomen resembling a violin appears on the field.

The audience finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Everyone was initially excited that Oreki's "brute force" tactic had worked once again.

The next second, you tell me you sent out a speaker cricket?

The scene became quite joyful.

Just how badly did Oreki-senpai draw? Even the speaker-shaped cricket came!

[It's so frustrating! When will our Speaker Hero, the solo driver, finally stand up for himself?!]

[A speaker-wielding stuntman? Don't you laugh when you read that yourself??]

"I see."

Unlike the overwhelmingly cheerful atmosphere of the bullet comments.

After a brief moment of thought, Ye Ci suddenly realized something.

"Huh? President, President, wasn't Oreki-senpai just doing this for the sake of the show?"

Qi Shu immediately initiated an attack on Ye Ci.

She doesn't know much about Bug-type Pokémon, let alone this Krillin, which is almost extinct in battles.

"Promotional effect? ​​Only you know how to create that kind of thing."

Ye Ci made a small complaint and then explained.

"The Speaker Cricket is indeed a bit—well, weak—but it can learn a move that is very suitable for the current harvesting environment."

"What move?"

"Speaker Cricket, Deadly Sting!"

Oreki answered the question for Yaji in the arena.

Thanks to the magic space that has not yet disappeared, the speaker cricket moves very quickly.

Hidden and sharp needles struck the still-struggling Mastiff Godfather with lightning speed.

As expected.

The Mastiff Godfather immediately stopped struggling.

Because Speaker Krill was carrying a Life Orb, it lost some stamina after using its attack.

But it was all worth it.

The lethal needle effect has been triggered!

Seeing the mastiff godfather, who used to kick him like a stray dog, fall under his needles, the speaker was greatly encouraged.

His eyes turned bloodshot and revealed a hint of ferocity.

Even his originally thin body had swelled up considerably.

Huh? What's this?

Miniature, muscular mosquitoes?!

Oreki was also surprised that the enhanced Speaker Kite was somewhat similar to the Ultra Beast Buzzwole.

[Speak up, haters!]

[Speaker Squeegee, let's take Oreki-sensei for another round!]

[Still laughing? Look at Rip's second Pokémon!]

[Damn it, what's the point of fighting? We're being targeted and we're completely numb.]

The hope that had just risen in the comments seemed to be dashed again with the appearance of Lip's second Pokémon.

Flowerbird, with a light and graceful style, possessing both ghost and flying attributes.

Bug-type moves - quadruple resistance!

"Oh dear! What's wrong with you today, senpai?" Kiju shook Magnemite in distress. "Why are you always getting countered? This is just too unlucky!"

On the field.

Lip even started to feel bad for Oreki.

The opponent's tactics can be described as a series of interconnected steps.

To come up with such a meticulous plan in such a short time demonstrates top-notch adaptability and tactical thinking.

Unfortunately, she was just too lucky in this battle.

"Sorry, Oreki-senpai, I'll take the championship this time!"

Lip brushed her hair that fell over her chest. "Flower Bird, Air Blade."

97

"Opening champagne at halftime is not a good idea, Senior Lip."

Oreki still had a faint smile on his lips.

"Speaker-wielding hero, show everyone your power! A sneak attack on vital points!!"

Deng!

As soon as he finished speaking, the speaker disappeared from the spot, leaving only two shallow pits on the ground where it had been violently trampled.

Seeing the speaker cricket moving at an absurdly fast speed, the flower bird hurriedly flapped its wings and flew away.

A dark shadow whizzed past below it.

The flower-dancing bird immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I can fly.

Such a comically shaped bug should be responsible for making people laugh!

Thinking this, Hua Wu Niao turned around, preparing to unleash the air blade.

The next second...

"careful!!"

The trainer's voice came through.

Almost at the same time, a chill ran down my back, followed by a stinging pain.

"Li!!"

The flower bird was slammed to the ground by an irresistible force.

After the smoke cleared, he was instantly killed in one move!

Don't you understand the doubled effectiveness after a massive increase in attack power, little bird?

Oreki felt that the speaker that landed on the ground had this idea.

Whoosh!

The aloof-looking speaker cricket paired with the circle-eyed flower bird beside it created a scene full of cinematic language that completely ignited the audience.

Who says the Zerg have no Overlords?

[I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean. A ten-year loyal fan of Speaker Shuai has come uninvited.]

You wouldn't even call it "Speaker Screwman"

The cheers were like a coronation ceremony for the speaker cricket.

Even though it hadn't defeated the Flower Bird with its deadly needles, it now seemed to have been strengthened again, its muscles swelling slightly.

Is this correct?

Why does it seem a bit illegitimate for Oreki-sensei to command a random Pokémon?

Actually, it's not just the comments section that thinks this way.

Oreki, who witnessed this, was also stunned.

This speaker seems to have something special about it.

Although he didn't unleash a fatal needle strike, he remembered the feeling of enhancement. Did he use this method to slightly improve himself?

Oreki forced a relatively reasonable explanation for the speaker's actions.

soon.

Lip took a deep breath and sent out her third Pokémon, Weavera.

Hoping to take a gamble on triggering "First Strike Claw" and "hitting a vital point," Lip chose the stealth attack move.

Unfortunately, luck wasn't entirely on her side this time.

The first strike claw was triggered, but it didn't hit a vital spot.

After withstanding a claw attack from a Weavile, the Speaker Cricket unleashed a deadly sting, taking it down in one fell swoop.

"Knock!!"

In the center of the field.

The speaker cricket, whose muscles had swelled to twice its original size, spread its knife-like forearms and swung them wildly before slowly collapsing.

Before losing consciousness, it seemed to vaguely hear the audience shouting a name.

"Knock—?"

Is the speaker a chivalrous knight?

boom!

Exhausted, it completely lost its ability to fight.

【666】×99

Let's see who dares to criticize the speaker grilled now.

【Thank you, Oreki-sensei, for clearing the name of my Speaker Shrike!!】—A prominent comment from someone with 10000 Pokémon Coins.

Seeing the barrage of comments flooding the screen, Qi Shu's hands trembled as he clicked on the regional popularity rankings.

Rank: 1.

"Damn it! Why wasn't I broadcasting from my own channel?!"
