Monday, November 12.
Only one day remains before reporting to the Trainer Academy.
Teacher Luke, recently promoted to 'The Tactician,' woke up to the sound of rumbling.
"Ao wu~~"
Growlithe, ablaze with flames, dashes through the living room like a rolling Flame Wheel.
"Kek ke ke ke~~~~" Togepi wags its finger, and Life Dew descends from the sky, extinguishing the fiery blaze.
Squirtle, engaged in one-finger push-ups, glances at the sparkling Life Dew, contemplating.
If Aqua Ring were made from Life Dew... Wouldn't it reduce the risk of injuries?!
"Uirt~..."
Squirtle scratches his head and suddenly claps his palms.
Brilliant~~
Good thinking, Squirtle!
"Hello, decoration company."
Luke calmly dials the phone. "Yes, not far from here."
Squirtle pats his shoulder, causing Luke to startle.
Pokémon are becoming more and more like their Trainers...
Is this really the case?!
Upon careful analysis, it becomes apparent that Charcoal has likely intensified Growlithe's flames.
Considering the timeline, it won't be long before the mastery of 'Flare Blitz.'
Luke can't help but rub his temples with a headache.
He hasn't trained much, so how are his Pokémon's strengths advancing so rapidly every day?!
If Growlithe can't handle the flames of 'Flare Blitz,' it will likely need to use a Fire Stone for evolution.
As a large dog, Arcanine stands between 1.6 meters and 2 meters tall.
Although Arcanine is a small Pokémon compared to creatures like Gyarados, if it dismantles the house...
Luke can't help but shudder as he looks at the energetic dragon and tiger, Growlithe.
"Ao wu? (O_o)"
"It's nothing. You should eat less, so you don't have the energy to tear down the house."
Growlithe: ? ? ?
I may not be human, but you're holding quite a grudge!
Being a VIP customer, the construction team swiftly arrives and completes the repair work in less than half an hour.
Luke gazes at the Interior Decoration team leader, feeling slightly stunned.
"Any questions?" the Interior Decoration team leader asks in astonishment.
"No..." Luke looks perplexed. "I was just wondering if you have a brother who does the same job in Orient."
"Ah!" The eyes of the Interior Decoration team leader light up.
"That's my cousin. He runs a decoration company in Magic City... Do you know him?"
Looking at this doppelganger of the Interior Decoration team leader from Kanto Regional Variant, Luke appears complex.
It turns out it's the Interior Decoration team leader from Orient!
Are they, like Officer Jenny and Joy, part of some mysterious Hidden Aristocratic Family?!
After confirming that there is no other brother in the same business, Teacher Luke breathes a sigh of relief.
If a decoration company popped up somewhere every time he traveled...
That would be too infuriating!
...
Today's daily life mainly involves accompanying Togepi to watch a show.
Each person sits with an egg on the sofa, holding a large bucket of popcorn.
"Kek ke ke ke~~~"
Togepi clutches a massive popcorn bucket, completely obscured.
Growlithe next to him looks puzzled.
Now popcorn buckets even emit Growls?
Professor Oak calls and asks Luke to fill in some basic information.
"This is the trainer qualification for registering in Kanto."
Professor Oak explains, "Just like when you were in Orient, you can challenge Gyms after registering."
"Professor Oak, I have no plans to challenge Gyms."
"Oh, that's also fine... Trainer Academy allows you to go directly to the Indigo Plateau Conference."
Professor Oak says, "Anyway, I'll register you first, so it'll be more convenient for your travels."
Although Luke has no plans to attend the Indigo Plateau Conference, he nods and says, "Then I'll trouble you, Professor Oak."
After hanging up the phone, some time later, the system unexpectedly pops out a task that hasn't been seen for a long time.
[Ding! Trainer qualification has been activated!]
[Large mission 'Kanto Alliance' detected]
[Mission Introduction: Take the first step toward becoming a Legendary Trainer, starting with collecting Badges and challenging the Alliance.]
[Mission Objective: Collect eight gym badges from Kanto Region]
[Task Progress: (0/8)]
[Task Rewards: Key Stone]
[Mission Evaluation: Alliance Champion, don't you just have a hand?]
Luke is dazed for a long time.
Wait a minute...
The qualification registration that Professor Oak mentioned just now, isn't it the activation of this task!
Luke looks bewildered as he examines the task.
As the 'Legendary Trainer system,' it's understandable for it to issue a task to collect Badges.
But the Trainer of the Trainer Academy can directly proceed to the Indigo Plateau Conference!
Isn't this redundant?!
And then there's the task reward.
Luke looks complicated.
"Key Stone," as an essential item for Mega Evolution, is indeed rarer than "Z-Crystal" and "Wishing Star."
After completing the task, you receive the Key Stone. This is undoubtedly a cost-effective deal.
The problem is that after obtaining the Key Stone, you still need to collect the corresponding Mega Stone...
A drop of cold sweat quietly slips down Luke's forehead.
The prices of Mega Stones are clearly marked, and the cheapest one is still in the tens of millions.
Without the opportunities of facing Boss Red and performing foolish actions, it's uncertain how much time and financial resources it will take to gather the Mega Stones.
It's evident that this task is undeniably a massive conspiracy by the system!
"Hmph, still trying to scheme against me?" Luke smiles coldly.
"If I don't play Gyms, you won't get what you want... You won't fool me!"
With no system punishment, Luke leaves this task to its own devices.
It's still more fitting for Teacher Luke to continue with his routine of live broadcasts and gaming!
After redeeming a few more Berries, Luke tosses them to Gengar, who opens its mouth wide.
"Jie jie~! (￣～￣)"
Well, even if I've been indulging in rare Berries like Salac Berry and Petaya Berry.
Occasionally, I want to munch on a Pecha Berry and savor the taste of mountain vegetables!
.....
Setting aside the system task for the moment, Teacher Luke made a call to Oleana.
"The Christmas DLC for 'Plants vs. Zombies' and the card expansion pack for the Johto Region are currently in progress," methodically conveyed Oleana. "If you're interested, you can establish a Company Branch in Saffron City."
"Go ahead and set up the Company Branch," Luke cleared his throat. "Once things stabilize in this period, I'll hand over the new plan to you."
Oleana's eyes sparkled with determination as she respectfully responded, "Please rest assured, I will execute the task perfectly!"
With Oleana managing the company, it would undoubtedly alleviate many concerns for Luke. He nodded with satisfaction.
After ending the call, he surveyed the living room.
"Jie jie~!"
Gengar, holding the Pokédex, appeared focused.
Would refreshing the Gym copy expedite the completion of the Pokédex?
Where is the Gym in Saffron City...
Ah, there's a map function on the Pokédex!
Gengar grinned like a child who had just discovered a new toy.
"Uirt~..."
Squirtle submerged in the water tank, pondering the potential of combining 'Aqua Ring' and 'Life Dew.'
Well...with a good amount of Mystic Water, this effect should be achievable!
"Everyone is doing great," Luke smiled happily. "It would be wonderful if I could continue to have such peace of mind!"
...
Night descended quietly.
Luke cradled Sylveon, had Togepi on his shoulder, and settled into the gaming chair.
He opened the live broadcast room, ready to share new tactics.
As 'The Tactician,' how could he not keep updating his strategies?
Isn't that a "Hoothoot man"?!
He changed the title to: "New Tactics - The Master Group Can Easily Score."
"Hello, everyone, I'm Teacher Luke."
"Today, let's explore the scientific Hypnosis Tactics!"
