Patreon Subscription Update

  Let me share some exg news!

  Our subscription t has now soared to 56+ members! This incredible milestone has left NovelExplorer absolutely speechless.

  It turns out... everyone is as amazing and supportive as Natsume-sensei!

  A huge shoutout to my incredible transtioor, Starry Night, for their tireless efforts and dedication.

  As for my mi, I’m doing my best to stay grounded.Admittedly, the pressure is real, and the ay has been keeping me up at night...

  But if we keep this momentum going, there’s only one way to describe it:

  We’re s to new heights!

  A massive thank you to all the wonderful readers who have joined and supported this journey. Your encement means the world to me! Let’s keep this amazing energy going!

  Woo-hoo, we’re flying high! ??

  A big question mark floated above Natsume's head.

  Natsume: ?

  Is there some kind of misuandiween us?

  Wouldn’t it be better to just give me money? Why insist on giving me a Pokémon?

  And not just any Pokémon, but oh the best potential?

  Natsume couldn’t help but gnce back at Haunter, who was lifting dumbbells, and Eevee, who was running on its wheel.

  "Thank you so much!"

  Takashi ughed heartily, "o be so polite with me!"

  Acc to Coach Takashi, the main responsibilities of an assistant coach were the sele and training of udents.

  During summer vacation, the workload for an assistant coach was retively light, requiring only occasional appeara the school.

  This kind of paid vacation job erfect for someone like Natsume, who preferred a id-back lifestyle.

  But the thought of possibly having another Pokémon made Natsume sigh in resignation.

  After hanging up the phone, Natsume spent some time petting Eevee, and time flew by.

  Lunch okéblocks.

  Eevee and Hauared at each other, tilting their heads in unison.

  "What are you looking at?"

  Natsume chewed on a light pink Pecha Berry block.

  "’t I eat this stuff?"

  Natsume had always been curious about okéblocks tasted like.

  In the anime, Ash Ketchum, the super-human from Pallet Town, had been showing Pokéblocks raw.

  If Ash Ketchum could eat them, why couldn’t Natsume-sensei?

  Logically speaking, some Berries were edible for humans, so trated Pokéblocks should be fioo.

  Of course, Natsume wouldn’t dare try a Petaya Berry, but the sweet Pecha Berry was worth a shot.

  Surprisingly, it was quite delicious, eveer than freshly squeezed peach juice. It would probably taste eveer chilled.

  Natsume’s expression turned odd. "It’s... actually pretty good."

  The two Pokémon were stunned.

  Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in Haunter’s head.

  Haunter couldn’t help but lower its head, wiping a tear from the er of its eye.

  To save on our food expenses, our Trainer has resorted to this...

  I o work even harder at my part-time job to earn more money!!

  Haunter: o(╥﹏╥)o

  Eevee’s expression was equally serious.

  The little one nodded firmly.

  It’s decided. Tonight, we’ll go even farther to level up!

  Iernoon.

  With a determined look in its eyes, Haunter silently floated toward the door, waving seriously at Natsume.

  Natsume waved back, curious. "Where are you off to this time?"

  "Haunter!" Haunter floated through the door on its own.

  "Remember to e back for dinner!" Natsume called out.

  "Haunter!" came the reply from outside.

  Natsume wasn’t worried about Haunter getting lost.

  Though he knew what the guy to... it was better to let them train occasionally than to try to stop them.

  The day they got tired of training would be the day Natsume-sensei’s pn would e to fruition!

  "I’ve really put a lot of thought into this!" Natsume sighed.

  "Let’s earn some more BP a him that Dusk Stone!"

  Haunter had been eyeing the Dusk Stone for a while, but the price of 5000 BP was a bit steep.

  Since he had promised Haunter, Natsume wao fulfill its wish as soon as possible.

  Aside from earning BP.

  Natsume-sensei also po kickstart his money-makiure this summer vacation.

  He had already saved up 100,000 Pokémon s as startup capital. It wasn’t much, but it would have to do.

  ...

  This time, Natsume wasn’t copying videos or dirty strategies.

  Instead, he utting his retly acquired [Programming Lv3] to use.

  Based on his own experiments, Natsume found that with this skill, creating an indepe game wasn’t too difficult.

  Plus, being in a parallel world where many pames hadn’t been developed yet, games were a perfetry point.

  Carrying Eevee by the scruff of its o the puter.

  After so many times, the little one had grown indifferent, its expression one ned boredom.

  Do whatever you want. I’m doing.

  Eevee:

  After giving Eevee’s fluffy head a rub, Natsume started drafting a new proje.

  "Eevee?"

  Eevee looked up, its dark eyes curious as it stared at Natsume.

  "Ah, this time it’s not a live stream. I’m making a game."

  "Eevee..."

  Eevee scratched its little head in fusion.

  Finding it uing, Eevee leaped off Natsume’s p a door to train its Substitute.

  Haunter’s Substitute and its main body got aloremely well, even doing chores together.

  But Eevee’s Substitute had a fiercer temper than the inal.

  It was said that Persian cats could scratch their own faces bloody while pying with yarn balls. Eevee seemed to be in a simir situation.

  "Eevee!"

  Eevee bared its teeth, wrestling with its Substitute.

  Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Natsume, wearing headphones, was pletely unaware of what was happening outside.

  He was fully immersed in the proje for the new game:

  Pnts vs. Zombies.

  There’s o eborate on how wildly popur this tower defense game was worldwide.

  The key was that the game’s development difficulty and cost weren’t particurly high. Its creativity and gamepy were what made it a hit.

  Although funds were limited, with [Programming Lv3], Natsume could at least build the basic framework of the game.

  Plus, Pnts vs. Zombies had a high patibility with the Pokémon world.

  With some slight adjustments to the art assets and backstory...

  Natsume typed in the dot:

  [The apocalypse has arrived. Wandering ghosts, swarms of is, and dev beasts... The only thing standiween you and the destru of your backyard are the Grass-type Pokémon you trust.]

  [Bob, your neighbor and a legendary Grass-type master, will bee your most reliable assistant and partner as you fight against the Pokémon invasion...]

  Natsume paused.

  "This backstory... has the right vibe!"

  While the inal assets could be used.

  On the forums for indepe game developers, most Pokémon art assets were freely avaible.

  For Natsume, who only had 100,000 startup funds, every bit saved ted.

  Using Pokémon imagery made it easier for pyers to ed helped spread the game’s influence faster.

  Natsume muttered to himself, "Sunflowers... Sunkern should work as a rept."

  "An evolved Sunflora... huh? That’s basically Twin Sunflowers!"

  In the initial draft, Natsume was surprised to find that these two IPs could indeed be perfectly ied.

  For example, the cssic Peashooter could be repced by Bellsprout.

  The hardw Wall-nut could be ged to Seedot, whiows [Bide].

  Whether it was the night map or the water map.

  Pokémon like Amoonguss and Lotad could perfectly fit the roles.

  The zombie types were even simpler.

  Various Dusclops, Cus, Sableye...

  And the eypes weren’t limited to just Ghost-types.

  Beedrill, Muk, these eternal vilins could also serve as enemy cards.

  Before he k, Natsume had typed nearly 10,000 words in the projeent and stretched wearily.

  "There’s no way I finish this alone in one summer vacation."

  Natsume estimated the workload and murmured.

  "I’ll o form a studio and find some help."

  The first person that came to Natsume’s mind was Kazuya, with his reg hairline.

  "Hmm... Kazuya seems like a strong didate. Let’s go with him!"
