  The eyes of the entire arena were fixed on the handsome young Trainer.

  A student from the Finance Department of Tokyo Metropolitan Uy had crushed a group of geniuses and made it to the finals of the Piplup Cup?

  The audieands fell silent for a moment before erupting into thunderous cheers.

  "Natsume is amazing!!"

  "Haunter, go for it!"

  On the Judges' Panel, Shoya couldn’t help but nod slightly.

  Advang to the finals without showing any arrogahis guy truly has the demeanor of a master!

  But iy, Natsume was wearing a puzzled expression.

  "This doesn’t make sense… why are they so weak?"

  Natsume’s inal purpose for participating in the petition was simply to ensure Haunter had s.

  Although most of the BP Exge items ended up in Haunter’s stomach, and he had received guidance from the big shots in the group chat…

  But I haven’t been training much at all!

  And now I’ve made it to the finals?!

  "This year’s rookies aren’t up to par," Natsume muttered.

  Despite losing the semifinals, Reina showed no signs of disappoi. In fact, she seemed pletely fih it.

  Being able to battle Natsume-sehe Strategy Master, was already a dream e true for her!

  "Natsume-sensei, let’s take a photo ter!" Reina said, her eyes sparkling.

  "I also want to ask you about your specific trainihods!"

  Natsume’s expression turrange.

  What are my trainihods again?

  Wait… do I even have trainihods?

  I didn’t know that!

  "Well… I’ll share them in a live stream soon."

  "Great! I’ll send you gifts as soon as I get back!" Reina smiled sweetly.

  The semifinals were over.

  The news of Natsume advang to the top four shook the erainer unity in Tokyo.

  The "Strategy Master" rumors spreading wildly online, bined with Haunter’s rapid growth, made people question Natsume’s true strength.

  Could a rookie Trainer really be as incredible as the i cimed?

  But the more people dug into Natsume-sensei’s background, the more mysterious the truth became.

  Many Gym Leaders praised his strategies, and even Koga of the Elite Four shared his videos.

  Acc to rumors, he even had a personal e with the World Champion, Red…

  Ihe Tokyo City Pokémon Association.

  President Shoya put down the dots, his expression plicated.

  "Could he… be the illegitimate child of some big shot?"

  It was clear that he had e to the Piplup Cup to train his Pokémon.

  But Natsume’s background was so ordinary that it seemed almost too normal—

  He was just like any other freshman from the Finance Department at Tokyo Metropolitan Uy!

  The more ordinary his background appeared, the more Shoya’s heart raced.

  How could a freshman with no es possibly have ties to the World Champion?

  There must be some unspeakable reason why Natsume’s records were so fwless.

  "I ’t iigate this any further."

  Shoya wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

  "I’ll just treat him like a regur testant and not dig deeper…"

  Meanwhile.

  Natsume had no idea he was being seen as a hidden big shot.

  Rejeg the barrage of interview requests from the media, Natsume anxiously rushed home.

  "Eevee learned Bite, right…"

  Natsume muttered, his hands a cold.

  "It shouldn’t be a problem. It’s been ag pretty normal these past few days."

  Despite trying to reassure himself, Natsume had already prepared for the worst.

  "As long as it didn’t destroy the house, everything’s fine…"

  Acc to the "Schr?dinger’s Cat" theory.

  Whether a Husky destroys the house or not only be known the moment you open the door.

  Before opening the door, the Husky exists in a quantum state of both destroying and not destroying the house.

  In a way, Eevee, being a fox, is also a e…

  Carefully pushing the door open.

  Natsume looked around a out a long sigh of relief.

  The room was intact, the walls were and white, and the air was filled with the st of vender—just as it was when he left.

  "See, I was overthinking it."

  Natsume chuckled. "Eevee’s so cute. There’s no way it would destroy the house."

  "Haunter?"

  Haunter scratched its head, notig that Eevee was o be seen. Instead, there was a trail of paw prints leading outside.

  The prints disappeared at the cat fp uhe door.

  Haunter rubbed its like a detective, nodding thoughtfully.

  "Huh, where’s Eevee?" Natsume was slightly puzzled.

  "Haunter!"

  Haunter poi the cat fp uhe door.

  Natsume’s face ged. "Did this guy run away?!"

  The previous tenant’s Meowth used to go out for walks on its own and would return by mealtime, so the tenant had installed a small cat fp.

  But Eevee might not know its way around here!

  "Let’s go, Haunter. We’ll look around nearby."

  Natsume sighed and was about to head out when his phone buzzed.

  A message from his ndlord, Misaki-neesan, came through, her tone unusually stiff.

  "Natsume, do you have time right now? Please e to the Pokémoer on Line 3."

  Normally, the ndlord wouldn’t address Natsume by his full name, so he knew something .

  Just as he was about to reply, the ndlord sent another picture.

  It was a Growlithe, bandaged up and teary-eyed.

  "The security guard said it seems Eevee beat up the Growlithe…"

  Natsume was stunned.

  Suddenly, there was a rustling sound at the door.

  A bruised and battered Eevee crawled in from outside, baring its teeth and flig its ears, then smiled at Natsume.

  "Eevee!"

  ……

  The i happened while Natsume was busy with the Fan Tour.

  Eevee was curled up in a ball, rolling around on the bed, when it suddenly sat up, its eyes gleaming with alertness.

  It slipped out through the cat fp uhe door.

  Eevee made its way through the hallway to the neighborhood, beginning to patrol the area.

  This was a good habit Eevee had maintained sis time in the mountains.

  With its Anticipation Ability, Eevee would i its territory to identify potential threats.

  But uher Eevee’s Anticipation…

  Natsume’s Eevee seemed to have a unique uanding of its Ability.

  Suddenly, Eevee’s ears twitched, and it quickly darted into the bushes.

  Two young boys walked by the flower bed.

  "My Nidoran would never lose to you!"

  "Wanna try? My Caterpie just evolved into Metapod!"

  Just as Nidoran aapod were about to csh, a Quick Attack shot out from the bushes.

  Eevee took down both weakened oppos, wagging its tail as it strutted away.

  If Natsume’s System were here, it would have let out a sarcastic shout.

  [Eevee’s experience points are increasing!]

  The two boys left behind looked at each other and burst into tears.

  "Mom, there’s an Eevee!"

  The neighborhood was home to many stray Wild Meowth, and the residents were stantly annoyed but couldn’t do much about them.

  Eevee was wandering around when it suddenly crouched low, its ears twitg.

  Anticipation Ability triggered!

  Eevee bared its teeth and, instead of retreating, charged toward the group of Meowth.

  In Eevee’s eyes, a fiery determination burned.

  I o keep honing my battle skills—

  I have to bee even stronger!

  "Meow!!"

  The Meowth let out shrill cries, scattering in panic.

  Eevee licked the blood dripping from its brow and smirked disdainfully.

  "Eevee!"

  [Eevee’s experience points have signifitly increased!]

  Just as Eevee was catg its breath, a passing Growlithe stood nearby, curiously wagging its tail.

  Growlithe tilted its head, then suddenly froze as if locked onto by a predator.

  A sense of danger washed rowlithe, and it broke into a nervous sweat, letting out an awkward bark.

  "Growlithe!" (I’m just passing by!)

  Eevee turs head, licked its lips, and gave Growlithe a friendly smile.

  "Eevee~!"
