Chapter 116

Sabrina was left puzzled.

She had simply clicked to join, and her verification went through in a matter of seconds? What puzzled Sabrina even more was that everyone in this group seemed to be familiar acquaintances!

Gold: Rookie, please share your photos, measurements, and marital status.

Gold had sent this message in a sophisticated manner but was left dumbfounded in the next moment.

A strange expression crossed Gold's face.

Could it be? Wasn't this ID the beautiful lady who defeated Bugsy at the Silver Conference? Just who is Teacher Luke, and how does he manage to attract such unusual people?

Sabrina was slightly surprised, but a subtle smile played on her lips.

Sabrina: My measurements are...

[Group member 'Saffron City Gym Leader' was banned by Admin for 5 minutes]

Sabrina got banned, and it was Admin, with the ID 'Sevii Islands Lorelei,' who did it. The elderly Lorelei's face turned red as she yelled in response, "Don't post such things casually!"

Sabrina had initially joined the group to understand this new Executive's preparations, but it seemed that things were taking an interesting turn.

Glancing at the list of group members, Sabrina noticed some familiar names. She pushed her black hair back behind her ears and said with a smile, "As expected... destiny's guidance is never wrong."

Gold responded with regret, "Aunt Lorelei, you're too quick!"

Seeing the word 'Aunt,' Lorelei's temples throbbed, and her veins bulged.

[Group member 'Gold' was banned by Admin for 24 hours]

Gold was left stunned for a moment, holding his phone, shaking his hands, and eventually muttering, "Darn it."

Meanwhile, Lance was busy with an Alliance search task. He glanced at his phone and furrowed his brow.

Sabrina.

One of the original Team Rocket's three Executives.

And there were also Lt. Surge, Blaine, Koga, Karen, Will, and others, all under Giovanni's command.

Whenever he looked at this list, Lance couldn't help but feel uneasy, and his eyebrows would twitch. The extent to which Team Rocket had infiltrated the Alliance back then was truly frightening.

Shaking his head, Lance muttered, "Sabrina is currently known as a movie celebrity... She've severed her ties with Team Rocket; there's no need to dig into the past."

However, his curiosity lingered.

Lance scanned the group's member list once more and mumbled, "Sabrina is also a fan of... 'Teacher Luke'?"

Green excitedly typed: "Ah, Sabrina, big sis!"

Though Green had previously tried to deceive Sabrina by hiding a Poké Ball in her cleavage, they had also fought side by side during the rescue mission led by Red. In the end, all three Team Rocket Executives had both good and bad sides. In the current peaceful era, there was no need to dwell on their past actions.

In Pallet Town, the girl with orange pigtails pouted, looking somewhat like a hamster, as she gazed at Sabrina who had joined the group.

Blue calmly stated, "Please adhere to the group rules. No offensive comments. Sabrina, a 24-hour ban will be applied if you violate this."

Gold, infuriated, couldn't believe it.

Wasn't it alright for the others to get banned for 24 hours? He had merely called her "Aunt," and he was banned too?!

"One day, I'll become an Admin myself!" Gold clenched his fists and made a determined vow.

Sabrina pursed her lips and typed a simple "Okay."

...

Luke's eyes widened in surprise.

Is that it?!

What happened to the grand Asura showdown? It vanished in the blink of an eye!

"What's Red up to?" Teacher Luke wondered aloud as he enjoyed his snacks.

"Training," Blue replied.

Luke was momentarily taken aback.

Just some casual training to avoid a catastrophe?

"Could this be the ability of The Fighter," Luke mumbled.

Lorelei: "In which city is Gold? I'll be visiting Johto during this time, and it would be nice to meet up (smile)."

Teacher Luke: "He's at the Breeding House next to Goldenrod City."

Lorelei: "Alright, thank you, Teacher Luke." (Accompanied by a Pikachu emoji)

Luke looked at the emoticon pack sent by Lorelei with a gleam in his eyes.

Hmm, this emoji pack looks quite nice!

He decided to share the cute Pikachu emoji pack with Haunter, and Eevee.

Teacher Luke sighed, slapping his forehead.

"If they start charging for these emoji packs, I won't make any money!"

But even if it's just a small amount, it's better than nothing. With a little saved each day, he would eventually pay off his debt.

Luke nodded in satisfaction at the thought.

"The bonus from the incentive plan can't be overlooked... Let's add some content and start editing the video!"

It's been said that some large companies even train Porygon to handle video editing tasks, and Luke couldn't help but appreciate the value of Pokémon once again. If only Haunter could also learn how to edit videos!

Setting that aside, Luke obediently opened "Pokemon: Battle." In his friend list, '100 Kinds Ice Cream' was online.

Luke felt a bit hesitant and typed, "Want to battle?"

"Sure," came the reply.

Luke realized he'd forgotten that his and Cynthia's Pokémon levels were only 50-50. With a slightly chaotic heart, he managed to slow down the speed of losing Poké Balls.

In the end, Cynthia emerged victorious with three wins and two losses. The content didn't seem to meet the standards for his channel.

Cynthia had just finished her day's work and was a bit tired. Nevertheless, she accepted Luke's invitation with a smile.

Cynthia, always gracious in both victory and defeat, said, "Good games."

"My pleasure," Luke humbly replied online.

Cynthia then inquired about the progress of his game release.

"Not bad," Luke sighed, thinking to himself that the earnings from the game weren't as good as spending a night gaming with her.

While he had mentioned that Cynthia would receive ad revenue, he was uncertain about imposing this favor upon the Sinnoh Champion. Debts could be repaid, but favors carried a different weight, and Luke considered it a bit of a taboo.

"It seems like I owe her enough already," Luke mused with a wry smile.

Cynthia seemed to understand his sentiments, and she nodded in response.

Exiting the chat with Cynthia, she muttered to herself, "Once things settle down, I should help promote Teacher Luke."

Even though they had played five games together, the outcomes didn't quite fit into Teacher Luke's usual "exciting" video content.

Luke looked up at the sky and had a sudden realization.

"As expected... I should have Gold take over."

Teacher Luke: You there?

Gold, after a 24-hour silence penalty, raised an eyebrow: What's up?

With a smile, Teacher Luke said, "I've got a new set of tactics in mind, and I think you're the most suitable opponent for me to learn from."

"After all, your strength is considered top-notch in our group," Teacher Luke added, offering a compliment.

Gold's eyes lit up.

Indeed, Teacher Luke had excellent foresight!

"Alright... I guess I can give you a run for your money," Gold mumbled.

Half an hour later.

Gold:? ? ?

Teacher Luke: Are you still here?

Gold: Ready!

One hour later.

Satisfied, Luke looked at the many "4:0" materials.

Gold couldn't believe it. Wasn't the first time a fluke?

"It must be a coincidence," Gold muttered through gritted teeth.

"I don't believe it; let's go for another round!"

...

Late at night.

Teacher Luke sorted through the materials provided by Gold and edited them into a video.

Feeling a bit guilty, Luke thought, "Should I offer Gold something in return next time?"

Nevertheless, the video was finally edited.

Glancing at the sleepy Eevee on his lap, Luke smiled and gave the little Pokémon's head a gentle rub.

Then, he clicked the "Upload" button.
