I lost...
Tomori let out a small sigh, but her heart was filled with satisfaction.
In the battle just now, Satoru had undoubtedly used his full strength. The clash of their emotions had let her know his thoughts.
A pure love for Pokémon and Pokémon battling, just like her.
The bond between Froakie and Satoru even surpassed the one between her and Piplup.
It was as if they were one. In the battle, Satoru had complete trust in Froakie, without a hint of hesitation.
With Satoru, I can definitely battle Pokémon for a lifetime.
Tomori's face grew hot, the thought refusing to leave her mind.
"Was Tomo-chan always this strong?" Watching the two battle, Anon was stunned. The Tomori from the other day wasn't this strong at all.
Was she holding back? No... no, there was no reason for her to hold back. Does that mean the battle just now was Tomo-chan's full power?!
Realizing this, Anon broke out in a cold sweat.
Their passionate battle had attracted a large number of classmates, who were all voicing their admiration. If she teamed up with Satoru and Tomori...
She would be the center of attention!
"Ehehehe~~"
Anon's mood brightened, and a goofy smile spread across her face.
"Tomori, you did great. I almost lost just now." Satoru walked up to Tomori and extended his hand.
Seeing his hand, Tomori swallowed hard, her body trembling slightly, but she mustered her courage.
"Satoru, will you battle Pokémon with me for a lifetime?"
"Of course, no problem!"
With that, Satoru proactively took her hand. Although Tomori's question was as solemn as a confession, Satoru's response was just as firm and unhesitating.
This reaction undoubtedly left a deep impression on her, strengthening the good feelings between them.
[Satoru-baby, if you keep farming affection points like this, aren't you afraid she'll fall in love with you? You already have one Soyo, another one would be dangerous. ('?ω?`)]
Enough with the love-brain stuff. How could Soyo possibly like me?
Aren't I just looking for people to battle Pokémon with me for a lifetime?
Satoru complained to Furiko. Her usual unreliability made it impossible for him to trust her.
[Sob sob sob... It's so pitiful for us girls who have a secret crush on you~~~]
Stop being weird!
Satoru focused his attention on Tomori, tightening his grip on her hand.
"From now on, I'll be in your care."
"Mhm..." Tomori nodded, her face blushing. For some reason, she could feel her heart beating exceptionally fast.
Just then, hearing their conversation, Anon rushed over and pointed to her own face.
"Th-then what about me?"
"I can also... battle Pokémon with you guys for a lifetime."
The realistic Anon nervously forced out words that didn't align with her thoughts.
After all, "a lifetime" was something a normal person just couldn't say, but the two in front of her seemed anything but normal.
One with a one-track mind for Pokémon, the other a spacey girl.
Anon felt that she, the normal one, really didn't fit in.
"Yeah, little Ai too."
Tomori nodded, her eyes happy.
As for Satoru's thoughts...
Girls, you're the best.
Let's have a Pokémon battle!
Normally, after forming a team, you could rent good training facilities with various training equipment. While not professional grade, it was more than enough for students.
Once a team was formed, they could participate in team tournaments. In regions like Galar or Paldea, they could also participate in Max Raid Battles and Tera Raid Battles, though that had nothing to do with Kanto. After participating in team tournaments, they could earn points.
With enough points, they could get entry rights to the High School League and also buy various items.
For example, the thing Satoru was most interested in right now: TMs.
He had to admit, having a move like Hydro Pump during the baby Pokémon stage was just too broken.
Satoru was already eager to teach his Raichu Electroweb and Volt Switch, and his Froakie Hydro Pump and Ice Beam. As for Blizzard, forget it, the accuracy was too low.
"Wait... this is the real world. Is Blizzard's accuracy really that low?"
Satoru thought for a moment. Piplup's Hydro Pump just now was clearly stronger than Water Gun, and its accuracy was too.
It seemed he was a bit constrained by the game's inherent logic.
For example, in this world, maybe Pokémon couldn't hold items, or maybe they weren't limited to just four moves.
"Furiko."
[Mhm Miss Furiko won't say anything. Please find out these things for yourself, Satoru-baby]
Useless!
Satoru sighed lightly and decided not to dwell on it.
Regardless, Tomori had taught him a lesson today: never underestimate any opponent.
After school, in the Pokémon training gym.
Gulp, gulp~
Satoru and his Pokémon were drinking beverages. Sitting next to him were Anon and Tomori, watching TV together.
As for his plan to find Rillaboom with Sakiko, he still had to wait two hours. She wasn't done with work yet. Satoru didn't mind and chose to train with his companions first.
Currently, their team had about six members, which was more than enough to participate in the upcoming cup. Their strength was also generally not an issue.
As for where the six people came from?
They were all beaten into submission...
He didn't know why Raana hadn't come yet.
Satoru could only choose to believe that she would come. Don't ask why. According to the fo— belief needs no reason!
"The field is rented~" Soyo smiled gently, walking gracefully in front of them, accompanied by Shiina Taki.
Although Satoru didn't know much about their situation, he was sure that Tomori, Soyo, and Taki were once on a team called CRYCHIC.
Shiina Taki seemed to really like Takamatsu Tomori, so Soyo had just pulled her into the team.
But when it came to CRYCHIC, none of them wanted to talk about it.
This world is surprisingly small...
Satoru complained internally.
Since the field was rented, they could officially start training.
So they all went to the training field together.
"First, it's better for us to train in pairs. That way, we can easily find our weaknesses."
Soyo placed a hand on her cheek and said gently.
"Okay." "Sounds good." "Tomori, be in my group." "Mhm..."
Everyone nodded, with no objections.
Hearing their agreement, Soyo directly grabbed Satoru's hand.
"Then I'll be in a group with Satoru. Of everyone here, I'm the only one who hasn't battled him. Is that okay, Satoru?"
"Of course, no problem!" Satoru clenched Soyo's hand and made a firm declaration.
Satoru LOVE
A blush instantly spread across Soyo's face, and she became excited.
But if it were just simple 2-person training, it wouldn't be a big deal. The key was that there were only 5 people at the moment!
"Huh?"
Anon watched as Satoru was snatched away by Soyo, and Tomori was snatched away by Taki.
"Then what about me?" Anon pointed to herself, tilted her head, and asked in a confused voice.
