Chapter 652: Jealousy and Tsundere

Chapter 652: Jealousy and Tsundere (Combination Chapter, Requesting Monthly Votes!)

"‘Spore Agent,’ this is something."

After walking into the purple mist, Jinghe, Male noticed a strange scent, somewhat like the smell of lavender.

"Actually, it's quite pleasant."

As for the Paralysis effect, he didn't feel anything.

"I'm starting to feel less and less like a normal person", Jinghe, Male suddenly realized.

Even Pokémon can be paralyzed by the "Spore Agent" smoke, yet he didn't feel a thing.

He wasn't sure if it was because he was too powerful or if his Gengue, Male was just that strong.

"I always get this déjà vu that I'm growing alongside Gengue, Male."

Gengue, Male's tongue lick was getting stronger, and his resistance to Paralysis was also increasing, but it was precisely at the threshold where only Gengue, Male could paralyze him.

"No numbers, just technique", Jinghe, Male rubbed his chin, feeling rather pleased.

Of course, the concentration of the spore smoke had thinned out significantly by the time it reached here, which was a significant factor.

"Regieleki, are you okay?" Jinghe, Male looked at the golden-glowing, towering "ancient giant" beside him, standing at a terrifying height of one meter twenty.

"Regi?"

Regieleki scratched its head.

As a Pokémon composed entirely of electrons and arcs, the spore smoke never even got close before being zapped by the arcs that frequently jumped from its body. So, Regieleki naturally felt nothing.

"Fine."

Jinghe, Male was quite satisfied.

Mythical Beasts really do have their perks.

"Next, we'll get the basic power running in this Power Station", Jinghe, Male said.

"Elchi~"

Zzzt—

Regieleki, much like Rotom, transformed into a golden electric light and merged into the Power Station's wiring.

Obviously, it was impossible for Jinghe, Male and Regieleki to repair the complex Power Station completely.

But if it was just about restoring the basic power...

From Regieleki's perspective, it was simply a matter of connecting the broken circuits.

Before long, those who had left the Power Station, including Hiruna, saw the following:

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—

The massive searchlights on the Power Station lit up, and the dark city was illuminated once again.

"It's working!" Mayor Oliva smiled.

Jinghe, Male also emerged from the Power Station with Regieleki.

"Phew—" He let out a light breath.

While the scent of the spore smoke was actually quite nice, breathing fresh air was still the most comfortable.

"That's as far as we can go. Is it enough?" Jinghe, Male asked.

"It should be", Oliva glanced at Torito.

This "Spore Agent" was created by him, and he was the one who knew the Antidote best.

"I, I can do it!" Torito was still quietly encouraging himself.

"Lucky~"

Lucky smiled and comforted him.

People and Pokémon can not only be similar but also complement each other.

Like the shy and introverted Torito, who was deeply cared for by Lucky.

Hmm—

Jinghe, Male nodded to himself.

Myself and my Gengue, Male, are definitely complementary, not similar, right?

No, no, no—

"Genkaga?"

Noticing Jinghe, Male's strange gaze, Gengue, Male remained unfazed, merely scratching his butt and then drawing a spatial rift with his hand, before stepping into it.

"I, I need to get back to the lab", Torito finally realized where he was, raising his hand and speaking softly.

His tools and various experimental data and materials were all in the Research Institute at the Wind Festival venue.

"I'll arrange a car for you", Mayor Oliva said hurriedly.

"We'll take him. It'll be faster", Jinghe, Male patted Dratini's sturdy arm.

"Wo!┗(｀ω)┛"

Dratini lifted its hands in agreement, trying to flex its biceps, but its belly inadvertently popped out.

"Alright."

Oliva, of course, agreed.

Jinghe, Male walked over to Snivy, who he had temporarily set down, and reached out to pick it up.

But Snivy turned away, giving him its back.

"Hiss! (￣ヘ￣)"

Huh?

Jinghe, Male was taken aback.

Don't want to be picked up?

Fine then.

He lightly patted Snivy's head, "Remember to use Vine Whip to tie up Dratini."

"Wo?━Σ(Д|||)━" Dratini was shocked.

Tie, tie, tie up?

"Hiss!"

Seeing that Jinghe, Male wasn't going to pick her up, Snivy stomped her feet hard.

What kind of person is this!

He definitely won't find a girlfriend!

“Yuki~”

Let's go, let's go~

Yuki walked over, putting on a "big brother" act, and was about to put an arm around Snivy's shoulders. However, Snivy turned around to "resist", and the shoulder grab turned into a neck lock.

“Yuki Yuki~~”

Yuki didn’t notice the difference in feel and just continued talking.

From now on, you can hang out with me~

Another little brother added.

Yuki felt quite pleased with himself.

“Hiss! Hiss——!!”

Can't... can't breathe!!

“Jellica!”

This time, Zeraora learned from experience. Seeing Jinghe, Male and Hiruna ready, he gathered up his electricity and headed toward the Wind Festival venue.

“Dad, I’m going with Hiruna, Jinghe, Male, and Zeraora!”

Ragoku, sitting on Hydreigon’s neck, showed no fear as he waved vigorously to Oliva.

“Alright!”

Oliva was still a bit worried about Ragoku, but knowing that he was with Jinghe, Male and Hiruna, she felt that there were few places in the world safer than being with these two.

Jinghe, Male looked at Ragoku with a touch of envy.

At first, he had thought about sitting with Hiruna, but

“Hiss!”

Facing Jinghe, Male’s gaze, Hydreigon snorted angrily and spat out two jets of white vapor as a warning.

Want to ride me? In your dreams!

And Snivy, sitting on Dratini’s head, also turned and snorted lightly.

“Hiss!”

Jinghe, Male stroked his chin.

These two...

“Woo~(ˊˋ)”

Dratini let out a joyful cry and shot up into the sky.

“Ah——”

Behind them, Torito’s terrified scream echoed.

Jinghe, Male, who was looking a bit pale, felt a bit more balanced.

See, it’s not just him who’s afraid of such high speeds, right?

“Hiss! Hiss——!!”

Hydreigon’s takeoff was much more dramatic than Dratini’s. With a loud “bang,” it shot forward, causing the ground around it to collapse in various places, like a jet taking off, chasing after them.

Zzzap—

Zeraora also transformed into a blue lightning bolt and zipped toward the Wind Festival venue.

At the Wind Festival venue, Research Institute.

Many people, including those who had come to play or participate in the “Pokémon Capture Contest,” along with their trainers and Pokémon, had gathered here, with doors and windows tightly shut.

There were many candles on the ground, but they had been extinguished now that the power was restored.

Torito found his colleagues.

Originally, Torito’s colleagues found it hard to tolerate someone who was introverted, aloof, and somewhat eccentric.

Especially since the cause of the Windy City incident was the immature “Spore Agent” created by Torito.

But when Torito switched to his protagonist’s “verbal barrage” mode, his colleagues were immediately moved.

Because they had to admit that, as a researcher, Torito was indeed more talented than them, and more importantly, he loved Pokémon more than anyone else.

This was the most basic and essential quality of a researcher.

Of course, part of the reason was also that Jinghe, Male had stepped in.

Jinghe, Male was well-known among researchers, though not a Pokémon professor, he had achieved a high level of academic recognition.

Moreover, Jinghe, Male’s presence gave the people hiding in the Research Institute, including the researchers, a sense of leadership.

“By combining the ‘Healing Heart’ characteristic of Pokémon, we can definitely save Windy City!” After Torito switched to “verbal barrage” mode, his speech became more fluent.

“But we still need some tree fruits, and now..."

Now, they couldn’t go out at all. How were they supposed to get the tree fruits needed to make the potion?

“Leave it to me.”

Jinghe, Male had plenty of tree fruits.

He cheerfully took out a large pile of various tree fruits.

“Use them as you see fit.”

The researchers’ eyes turned to Jinghe, Male with even more respect.

So many tree fruits... they weren’t cheap. For Jinghe, Male to offer them so readily, he truly lived up to the title of “teacher,” showing true selflessness!

For Jinghe, Male, however...

He was just happy to find a way to “reimburse” himself.

A classic win-win situation.

Watching the researchers rush into the lab and get to work, Jinghe, Male touched his face.

“Can’t deny it, this face is finally starting to pay off.”

“Hmm.”

Hiruna nodded in agreement, saying calmly, “Of course, this is Jinghe, Male, the teacher.”

Huh?

Jinghe, Male was taken aback.

Those words, that tone...

Hiruna flicked her golden hair and turned to walk away.

Jinghe, Male hurried to follow, lowering his voice to ask, “Are you jealous?”

“No.”

Hiruna’s tone remained calm as she looked ahead, even though all she saw was a wall.

"I only like bamboo."

"I don't."

"Cough, cough."

Jinghe, Male stepped forward and grabbed the soft, pale hand, and Hiruna stopped in her tracks.

"Let me check your hand."

"Shut up!"

Hiruna continued to look ahead, but a blush spread from her neck to her cheeks and ears. She took a deep breath and said firmly:

"I said, I! Don't! Have!"

"Jera."

Zeraora crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, glaring back at the curious gazes of the onlookers.

She looked at Regieleki, who was sitting on the ground and eating energy cubes with Yuki, her eyes flickering.

As an electric-type Pokémon, she could sense Regieleki's power.

But still...

"Regi?"

Regieleki picked up a few energy cubes and handed them to Zeraora.

Some?

"Jera!"

Zeraora shook her head and narrowed her eyes.

But still... she looked a bit dim.

Near Yuki, Snivy was sitting on the ground, sulking. It was hissing softly, muttering something under its breath.

"Yuki?"

Yuki looked at it and asked the same question as Regieleki.

Some?

Rumble—

Snivy's stomach made a slight noise, and its face turned red. It stiffened and hissed.

"Hisss~"

That, you made me come here.

But before it could finish, it froze when it saw Yuki offering it a Diamond.

"Hisss!"

Suddenly.

"Success!"

A jubilant shout echoed from the research lab. Soon, Torito emerged, holding a glass sphere filled with an unknown colored gas, and approached Jinghe, Male, his excitement still evident on his face.

"Teacher Jinghe, Male, we succeeded! This is the 'healing potion'!"

So, you see.

Human potential is limitless. You never know what you can achieve until you push yourself.

At the same time.

Mayor Oliva and her companions finally arrived at the Research Institute. Besides her secretary, there was also an old lady with white hair and gloves.

"This is Jade Lady. We found her trapped in a phone booth on the way here", Oliva explained briefly.

She then looked at the potion in Torito's hand and asked excitedly:

"Did it work?"

"Yes!" Torito nodded vigorously but soon frowned. "But... if we want to disperse the spore mist as quickly as possible, simply smashing the 'healing potion' won't work."

In other words.

Smashing it on the spot like the "Spore Agent" wouldn't work. The longer it takes, the more harm it will cause to the city.

Moreover.

The spore mist had already covered Windy City and was about to spread into the forest.

Once it entered the forest, it would be much harder to disperse.

So, they needed a faster and better solution.

Wind!

That was the first thought that came to Oliva and her companions.

But... Windy City was in a windless period, and ordinary wind wouldn't be enough. They needed a strong wind.

"Try the old power plant", Jade Lady suddenly suggested.

She was a firsthand witness to the forest fire fifty years ago and the chief designer of the wind power plant on the mountain outside Windy City.

But due to that fire, she lost her most important partner, Blissey. She became depressed and reclusive, and more averse to interacting with Pokémon.

However, in the face of a threat to the entire city, she was willing to reopen her old wounds.

"As long as the old power plant can operate, we can reverse the wind turbines and release the potion", Jade Lady explained her plan.

Currently, the spore mist was blowing from the sea toward the forest. Her plan was to use the "healing potion" to blow from the forest toward the sea, directly countering the two forces for the fastest effect.

"Great idea!" Oliva agreed.

Jinghe, Male had no objections either.

That's how it was done in the movie, and it worked quickly.

"Gengar~"

While Mayor Oliva and Jade Lady were discussing the plan, Gengue, Male, who had been missing for a while, suddenly crawled out from an unknown corner.

He picked up a cup from the table, drank it in one go, and then floated over to Jinghe, Male, whispering something in his ear.

Jinghe, Male's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Gengar!"

Gengue, Male raised his hands.

I swear on Yuki's ten-year lifespan!

Yuki: "?"

"That makes it simple."

Jinghe, Male immediately said to Mayor Oliva and Jade Lady, "I can handle the release of the 'healing potion.'"

"You?" Elder Emerald sized up Jinghe, Male, then pursed her lips. "Apart from being good-looking, what else do you have?"

"Elder Emerald, this is Teacher Jinghe, Male", Mayor Oliva hurriedly introduced and explained.

Then he turned to Jinghe, Male. "Teacher Jinghe, Male, are you—"

Jinghe, Male glanced at Elder Emerald. Despite her age, she had a way with words.

"Cough, leave it to me."

With that, he took the potion from Torito's hand and, under everyone's watchful eyes, took Hiruna's hand and led her toward the floor-to-ceiling window by the sea.

Gengue, Male, Zeraora, Snivy, Yuki, Hydreigon, and the other Pokémon hurriedly followed.

Meanwhile, the people trapped inside the Research Institute, who had been keeping an eye on them, also turned their attention.

"It's Teacher Jinghe, Male, and he's holding—"

"It's Miss Hiruna!"

A boy clutched his chest in pain and fell to his knees.

Our cabbage!

"It's actually Miss Hiruna?!"

"So, the rumors online are true? Teacher Jinghe, Male is dating Miss Hiruna?"

"Wow! Big news!"

"Hey, this guy is in trouble. He must be paralyzed. He's clutching his chest; come help him!"

"No! No, I—"

Bang, bang, bang, bang—

"What are you doing?" Hiruna lowered her voice, her cheeks flushing.

Jinghe, Male smiled mysteriously and said, "Look, isn't the sea beautiful?"

Caught off guard by the sudden question, Hiruna, though puzzled, still looked out at the sea through the window.

The Windy City sea during the calm season was indeed beautiful, especially now with the sunset casting a golden glow over the water. The ripples on the surface shimmered like red gemstones.

But—

"It would be better without all this thick fog", Hiruna wrinkled her little nose.

"Exactly!" Jinghe, Male had been waiting for her to say that.

"Huh?"

Hiruna was confused.

Jinghe, Male opened the window, and Gengue, Male took a deep breath, puffing up like a small ball. Then, with a mighty exhale, he blew away the fog that was about to drift in.

"Like this?" Hiruna chuckled, covering her mouth.

Those who had followed and were peering out the windows or standing behind them couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Although Gengue, Male's breath seemed exaggeratedly strong, it was barely a drop in the bucket against the thick fog enveloping the entire Windy City.

Jinghe, Male smiled but said nothing. He raised his hand and, under Hiruna's puzzled gaze, snapped his fingers.

Snap!

A moment of silence.

"Whoosh—!!"

A haunting sound quickly approached from a distance, and a dark silhouette appeared above the mist. The crowd could only vaguely make out the shape, which seemed to be a large bird?

The next moment.

Whoosh—

A gentle but continuous breeze swept through, parting the fog that had enveloped the Wind Festival venue and the sea.

The mist parted like waves, revealing the sunset over the sea!

"That's—"

At the same time, the silhouette in the sky finally came into full view.

"Lugia!"

"It's Lugia!"

"It's really Lugia!"

Snow-white feathers glinted with a hint of red in the sunset as Lugia, with its massive wings, appeared in the sky.

Cheers erupted inside the Research Institute.

The Mythical Pokémon, Lugia!

"Lugia?!" Mayor Oliva pushed his way to the front, his expression complex as he gazed at the divine being.

Finally!

After all these years of effort and waiting, he had finally, finally seen Lugia!

Hiruna, seeing the sea and the sunset revealed before her, her eyes sparkled, and her cheeks were tinged with the red glow of the sunset.

She hadn't expected Jinghe, Male to actually bring this moment to life.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Jinghe, Male asked again.

"Yes!" Hiruna nodded emphatically.

"There's even more to see!"

Jinghe, Male opened the window and led Hiruna outside.

"Whoosh~"

Lugia flapped its wings and slowly descended toward them.

"It's Teacher Jinghe, Male who called Lugia!"

"Is that even possible?"

"Who's still saying Teacher Jinghe, Male isn't the 'Mythical Pokémon Guy,' huh?"

"Does this mean we have a chance?"

Jinghe, Male swung himself onto Lugia's back and extended his hand to Hiruna.

Hiruna pursed her lips and took his hand.

Admittedly, the spore fog had a nice scent, but it couldn't compare to the fragrance of Hiruna.

Jinghe, Male raised an eyebrow at Hydreigon below.

"Skree!"

Hydreigon was seething with anger.

In the end, it couldn't stop them, just like it couldn't stop Hiruna and Jinghe, Male from being together.

Thinking of this, Hydreigon felt a sudden loss of spirit.

Forget it, forget it, let it all be destroyed.

No, even if that's the case, I must protect the world's best cabbage!

Hydreigon rallied its spirits once again.

"Roar—!!"

Lugia let out a long cry, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

Jinghe, Male's expression changed slightly, and he naturally wrapped his arms around Hiruna's slender waist, who was sitting in front of him.

Hiruna seemed to know Jinghe, Male's "weakness." Although her face was red, she didn't resist. Instead, she grabbed Jinghe, Male's hand to prevent him from falling off.

"Lugia, fly slower", Jinghe, Male hurriedly conveyed through the Waveguide.

"Roar~"

Lugia was gentle. Upon hearing Jinghe, Male's words, it immediately slowed down.

As for letting go?

That was simply out of the question.

"Is this the Lugia from back then?" Once Lugia had flown to a steady height, taking in the entire city and the purple fog enveloping it, Hiruna asked in a low voice.

She knew a bit about the Dark Lugia incident from before.

"Yep."

Jinghe, Male nodded.

Why did Lugia appear?

Of course, it was thanks to Gengue, Male.

When Gengue, Male disappeared earlier, it actually went through Giratina's ruined world to find Lugia.

During the Arceus incident, Jinghe, Male had asked Lugia for help, and Gengue, Male used its not-so-strong spatial abilities to mark Lugia.

While it couldn't bring Lugia through the ruined world, it could still find Lugia.

After finding Lugia, Gengue, Male learned that Lugia wasn't far from Windy City.

As the legend goes, Lugia had indeed made a pact with Windy City. Unless there were special circumstances, it would visit the seas outside Windy City every year.

It didn't appear to avoid unnecessary chaos, but it would send the wind.

This was achieved through the Sacred Flame atop the tower in Windy City.

However, this year, the Sacred Flame on the tower was shrouded in purple fog, making it invisible to Lugia. Just as it was about to turn back, it encountered Gengue, Male.

Thus, Lugia appeared.

"Lugia, can you help me spread this potion across the entire city with your wind?" Jinghe, Male took out the glass bottle of the Healing Potion.

"Roar~" Lugia nodded without hesitation.

Crack!

The glass bottle shattered, and a cloud of sparkling dust expanded.

"Right now!"

"Roar!"

Lugia flapped its wings, generating a powerful gust of wind.

While ordinary Pokémon could use wind-based moves like Whirlwind or Hurricane, none could match Lugia's ability. With a single flap of its wings, it could create a gentle breeze that covered the entire city.

This was the power of a deity, the greatest difference between Mythical Beasts and ordinary Pokémon.

The Healing Potion's dust, guided by the wind, spread across Windy City.

The shimmering light particles, refracting in the sunset, combined with the potion's colorful mist. When they touched the purple fog, it was as if the sky was filled with stars beneath their feet.

Hiruna's eyes reflected this scene, as if her eyes were already filled with starlight.

So beautiful...

This time, there was no need for Jinghe, Male to ask; Hiruna's heart had already given the answer.

The Healing Potion took effect, and the purple fog receded like a tide. A loud cheer erupted throughout the city.

Once the purple fog had dispersed, Hiruna turned to look at Jinghe, Male, her gaze making him feel a bit uneasy.

"W-What is it?"

"I didn't know you were so good at charming girls. You used to be as stiff as a board."

"What are you talking about?"

Jinghe, Male brushed Hiruna's hair aside and rested his head on her shoulder. "There's a kind of intelligence that's only for you."

A light blush spread across her cheeks, but it slowly faded in the gentle breeze.

The wind blew softly, carrying a faint fragrance.

Jinghe, Male closed his eyes, burying his face in her neck, breathing in the scent. He couldn't tell whether the fragrance of the Healing Potion or her natural scent was more alluring.

Hiruna was petite but well-proportioned, soft and cuddly, much gentler than she usually appeared. She also gave him a sense of security, like a champion.

The sun set, and the light grew dim.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a cry of struggle came from beneath Lugia.

A baby Kyogre, now several times smaller, struggled to fly out.

I can't hold it anymore!

The baby Kyogre cried out.

Lugia's eyes flashed with a hint of exasperation.

Can't you see your mother is trying to stay still, maintaining her flight to avoid ruining this atmosphere?

“Wo!!”

Jinghe, Male! I missed you so much!!

The baby Kyogre flapped its wings and flew out, clearly stunned when it saw the man and woman hugging.

At this moment, Jinghe, Male experienced what it was like to have a "little monster."

However,

such a cute and adorable "little monster", being a Mythical Beast's offspring, was forgivable.

After all, there were still many people waiting below.

Jinghe, Male smiled and extended a hand to the baby Kyogre.

“Wo!!”

The little one immediately pounced into Jinghe, Male's arms, squeezing between him and Hiruna, rubbing its head against them.

Hiruna also liked the little one and couldn't resist stroking its soft downy feathers.

“Down, Lugia.” Jinghe, Male said with a helpless smile.

Lugia then descended towards the ground.

【See, how wise I am.】

The Giratina Core perched on Yuki's head was full of self-satisfaction, already experienced.

“Nimi~”

“Teacher Jinghe, Male, Miss Hiruna, on behalf of Windy City, I thank you!” Mayor Oliva, along with her secretary and others, approached Jinghe, Male and Hiruna, bowing deeply in gratitude.

“Mayor, you're too kind. This is what we should do.” Jinghe, Male quickly helped her up.

Just remember to reimburse me later.

Lugia landed on the ground, and everyone looked at it with astonishment but dared not approach.

“Wo~ wo~”

The baby Kyogre followed Jinghe, Male, flying around him, looking extremely happy.

“Hiss.”

Snivy, seeing the baby Kyogre being affectionate with Jinghe, Male, kicked a stone on the ground.

Bang!!

A small dent appeared on the nearby wall.

A cold sweat trickled down Yuki's forehead.

Hiruna nudged Jinghe, Male with her elbow and nodded towards Snivy, who was about to leave.

Jinghe, Male gave her a reassuring look.

In fact, ever since he landed, he had been paying attention to this little one.

“Snivy.” Jinghe, Male rubbed the baby Kyogre's head and walked over quickly.

“Hiss.”

Snivy didn't turn around but stopped walking.

Seeing the proud look on this little one, Jinghe, Male couldn't help but chuckle.

Have you been watching too many dramas, little girl?

However, Jinghe, Male still squatted down and asked, “How about it? Are you interested in traveling with me and becoming my Pokémon?”

Speaking of which,

this was the first time Jinghe, Male had actively tried to catch a Pokémon.

A Grass-type Pokémon he had long desired.

This Snivy, whether in terms of its attributes, strength, or the fate that brought them together, met all of Jinghe, Male's expectations.

He believed Snivy had already made its own judgment.

So, Jinghe, Male extended the invitation.

“Hiss.”

Snivy hesitated, then resumed walking, gazing up at the starry sky.

Seeing the little one's "melancholic" expression, Jinghe, Male's lips twitched.

“Gengar! Gengar!”

Gengue, Male, standing nearby, suppressed his voice, making a gesture as if to throw a Poké Ball, urging Jinghe, Male to take the initiative and catch it.

In fact, Jinghe, Male had already planned this.

If Snivy really refused, such a Poké Ball wouldn't contain it.

“Snivy!”

This time, the call was different, and Snivy seemed to sense something, trembling slightly.

Turning around, it saw a green Friend Ball being thrown at it.

Click—

The Friend Ball landed precisely on Snivy's head.

Snivy glared at Jinghe, Male with a fierce look before being enveloped by a red light and sucked into the ball.

Without a battle, whether Snivy would be caught or if it consented to being caught was up to its own decision.

The Friend Ball landed on the ground.

Jinghe, Male waited for the Poké Ball to shake and flash red.

But as the Poké Ball hit the ground,

a light thud echoed in the silent square.

“Thump—”

There was no shaking, no flashing, the Friend Ball locked immediately.

Caught?

No resistance? No struggle?

Everyone around couldn't help but rub their eyes.

Was this the gap between them and Teacher Jinghe, Male?

A one-hit wonder?

Seeing the result, Jinghe, Male chuckled.

“Alright.”

As a Pokémon psychologist, he had gradually grasped the nature of Snivy's "ailment."

“Tsundere.”

Tsundere was a "condition" that needed treatment.

He picked up the Friend Ball, and his smile grew wider.

At this moment, should he say, "I caught Snivy!"—
