Chapter 20

Luke checked the event schedule on the Internet.

The group stage will likely consist of three rounds.

There will be a month-long schedule, and Luke's final exams will be during that period.

In the event Gastly loses this time, Luke will be able to concentrate on reviewing the test.

His expectations were totally out of the blue.

It's already a group stage, but you won?

Freshmen in the Battle Department this year aren't awesome!

Luke is considering his next course of action now that Gastly has successfully advanced.

He can ensure Gastly's safety once he arrives on the scene.

In addition, surrendering will work if the opponent is very strong.

Luke has little interest in the Championship.

Another goal is not to let Gastly regret anything he does.

Luke intends to learn about the opponent's strengths after deciding to play.

Twain was actively participating, so we met at Starbucks, which is near the campus.

Summer is really hot.

Like Wild Pokémon, there are many young and beautiful girls roaming around the city.

People and Pokémon coexist in harmony, and the life in Ryme City in "Pikachu Detective" has appeared in front of our eyes.

"Welcome!"

In Starbucks, my senses were assaulted.

"I want a medium latte."

"Sorry sir, this is a big cup, this is an extra big cup."

"…I want the one in the middle of these two cups."

When Twain walked into Starbucks, he saw Brother Luke's expression of pain.

"Brother Luke, Gastly really won!" Twain exclaimed.

"I know," Luke said with a stomachache.

"That primeape won a place in the county competition!"

Twain said with emotion, "But when he met Gastly's Substitute, it was all for nothing."

''You rock, Brother Luke! I didn't expect you to be as helpful as you were."

Luke drank coffee silently.

Can't say that this is the result of Gastly's training all night, right?

Definitely not, this is too shocking!

With a dry cough, Luke asked Twain about the event schedule.

Twain's eyes widen as he asks, "Are you planning to play on the court?".

As Luke nods, he says, "Trying to get a good job."

Luke's best expectation is to make it to the top sixteen.

This will allow him to catch up with the review week at the end of the semester.

As Twain rubbed his hands together, he said, "This is the first round of the group stage. You can proceed to the second and third rounds."

"If you're lucky, you'll go straight to the top 16!"

"When will you play?" Luke asked.

Twain said ill-humoredly: "I just lost this morning!"

"pu."

"…What are you laughing at?"

"The coffee is too hot."

Luke coughed vigorously: "What's so cruel about the elimination?"

"Yes." Twain nods.

"Fang Shu, a freshman, was selected for the school team as a top seed from the Battle Department of Z-University."

"That's awesome, he can join the team as a freshman!"

"And Lu You from Magic City University of Communications, even the Electric Type Gym Leader praises his Magneton!"

"Fuck, so powerful."

''Angela Shen, the out-and-out goddess of Pokémon Academy, belongs to the Fairy Type Aristocratic Family.''

With a palm gesture, Luke exclaimed, "Wonderful!".

"Brother Luke."

Twain's look's a bit complicated. "Opponent is so strong, why do you seem to lack the slightest sense of crisis?"

Luke turned his head and said, "Don't you see I am trembling.".

''You are laughing, aren't you?"

Luke gave a light cough.

When you play against a powerful opponent, you will not only train Gastly but you will also not be left with regrets even if you lose.

Luke can continue to concentrate on his studies and career.

This is simply one move, two gains!

What a wonderful fairy-type aristocratic family.

Other than that, the "Trainer appreciated by the gym leader", and "the great guy who joined the school team as a freshman".

With these big guys, I won't be able to win again, right?

Despite Will-O-Wisp's ability to restrain Magneton, Poison Type can restrain Fairy Type.

However, this is where the strength gap lies.

It is completely reasonable for you to lose to these big bosses!

"Gastly." Luke releases Gastly from Poké Ball.

"Jie jie~?"

"Let's cheer for the next round and try not to leave any regrets!"

"Jie jie~ ~! (✪ω ✪)"

—

Johto Region, Mt. Silver.

The mountain range is surrounded by a white mist.

Besides natural hot springs and rare plants, Mt. Silver has also nurtured powerful wild Pokémon, which have become a training ground for those genius trainers.

The thick fog was broken by an extremely powerful Charizard with an imposing manner.

On Charizard's back, a black-haired youth in a red vest lowered the brim of his hat, showing a determined expression.

Perched next to the lake on the top of Mt. Silver, Red patted Charizard.

The giant Charizard flapped its wings and disappeared into the white mist.

"Why did you suddenly call me here?" red asked.

Rustling sounds were heard from the leafage.

Hanging upside down from the treetop is a middle-aged man in a Ninja costume and mask, "Your observation is still so sharp."

In response, Red said helplessly: "Mt. Silver has already made me subjected to many sneak attacks."

This middle-aged man is none other than one of the Johto Region Elite Four, Poison Type Elite Koga!

Koga jumped down and said: "I want you to do me a favour."

Astonished, Red asked, "Even you are beginning to owe favours? "

After a long silence, Koga said: "A few days ago, I had a breakthrough in Poison Type research."

"What does that mean?"

"Look at your feet."

Red lowered his head.

Suddenly, All around his ankles, countless green lights are showing Muk being Minimized countless times!

The muks are only the size of ants, but they are gathered together as if they were venom.

There are so many Minimize Muks here that it's difficult to imagine how many there are!

"Venusaur."

Red leapt onto Venusaur's back as soon as he opened the Poké Ball, saying, "Vine!"

Suddenly, two flashing vines shot out, slithering Koga's neck with a snap.

It took less than three seconds to open the Poké Ball and limit Koga's movement!

As Koga raised his hand, he said, "I do not have malice."

"I'm just testing Champion's new tactic Foresight." Koga said with a slight smile, "Look how successful it was."

Red coldly said: "This is what you call a new tactic?"

"Yes." Koga nods.

"I think if hundreds of thousands of Muk's were ambushed in advance, even the Elite Four would be difficult to escape."

Red glanced all around as the muk group gradually retreated, and could not help but felt his scalp tingling.

"This is Trainer named Luke's tactics …?"

Koga muttered, "All Minimize routines are really terrible! "

"Anyway...I got inspiration from him."

"I know you know him, and my daughter also watches his live broadcast every day, saying that Red is also one of his fans…" Koga was suddenly broken.

''She is such a big girl, she cannot get married, and she has to be at home every day."

Even though she looks cute and has a strong personality, she can really share the burden with me..."

In any case, my daughter can't stay at home for a lifetime! She's will get married anyway!

Koga, a little excited, wiped his eyes with a wet cloth.

Coughing awkwardly, Red motioned for Koga to return to the topic.

"In short…"

A light cough escaped Koga's lips: "I would like to ask you for something."

"How can you ask someone to do things for you ?"

Koga took off his mask and smiled heartily: "Or…I will introduce my daughter to you?"

This is your real purpose, right?

Red sighed and said: "What on earth do you want me to do?"

"I know he recently conquered a Gastly...Although there is suspicion of boasting, this toxic experience is what I have learned throughout my life."

Koga threw a scroll at Red, and Venusaur cleverly caught it with a vine.

I hope you can give him it." Koga bows deeply to Red, "I will be really grateful!"
