Allen’s lazy voice rode the night wind, drifting across the camp and brushing against the ears of the bandits.
Everyone froze.
Leopard narrowed his eyes, locking his gaze onto Allen’s face. In the span of a single breath, a flicker of delight bloomed across his expression.
The target walked right in? The intel was real!
Gray Hawk, standing beside him, reacted even faster. He opened his mouth and roared:
"Allen! That’s Allen! Night Lion-sama’s int...

Deep in the forest, a small natural lake glimmered beside the sheer cliffs of the Red Dragon Mountains.
A natural habitat.
Ordinarily, in the dead of night, this place would be teeming with birds, beasts, or wandering magic creatures.
But now, within a radius of several dozen meters, more than ten tents stood in dense clusters. The rain tarps covering them were worn and stained with time. The ropes tangled across the muddy ground were anchored with rusted stakes, forming a l...

"Why do you think Black Wolf and the others haven’t come back since yesterday?"
"Who knows. Probably bagged a fat merchant and ran off to Rigait to enjoy themselves."
The torchlight licked across the speaker’s face, highlighting a deep scar at the corner of his eye that gave his sneer a cruel edge.
Beside him, a tall, round-faced man widened his eyes in exaggerated surprise. He quickly waved the torch away from his face and spoke with mock seriousness:

Rigail City was enormous.
As a key hub for trade with the northern nations, its advantageous position at the edge of the Red Dragon Mountains' Upper Jaw made it one of the Asura Kingdom’s major export gateways. Villagers from the surrounding areas arrived day and night by caravan, hauling in crops and handmade goods.
It was a microcosm of the Asura Kingdom’s bustling, commerce-driven economy.
Thanks to that, even though Rigail was technically a remote border city, its scale...

When Nobu returned to the student council office, he found Momo already inside.
He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. What needs to be faced, must be faced.
“President…”
Momo stood up nervously, looking like she’d done something wrong.
“What are you doing here?” Nobu asked.
“I… I originally came looking for you,” Momo mumbled.
“What do you mean?”
“Kanisawa-senpai was here earlier.”
Nobu suddenly had a bad feeli...

Momo slipped into the student council office during class time, hoping to find the president—but he wasn’t there. She figured he was probably off training again.
A sudden wave of frustration welled up in her.
He’s the reason things between me and Rukia turned out like this… and he’s walking around like nothing happened.
But that thought only lingered for a moment.
It’s not his fault. No matter how you look at it, I’m the one who handled thing...

Even though she had long seen it coming, having it spoken out loud still left a bitter taste in Momo’s mouth.
She felt that Rukia shouldn’t have handled it that way—especially not as her closest friend.
She knew perfectly well I liked the president.
Momo had believed that she and the president were already just a step away from becoming something official. She thought that after telling Rukia, her friend would gradually come to accept it.
She didn’t se...

The moonlight was pale and cold, casting a silvery sheen across the quiet street.
Momo leaned against the wall, gasping for breath. The suffocating tightness from just moments ago was slowly receding, and it felt as though she’d been given a second life.
Two people exited the izakaya nearby. One of them seemed to glance in their direction.
Momo's face flushed crimson in an instant, and she quickly turned her head away.
Fortunately, the pair didn’t come closer, inst...

Inside The Izakaya.
As the food and drinks were brought out, Hinamori’s gaze locked longingly on the bottle of sake. She glanced at Nobu, then took the initiative and poured him the first cup.
“What if you get drunk?” Nobu asked with a smile.
“It’s fine if I don’t drink too much. I can hold my liquor!” Hinamori said, patting her chest proudly.
Nobu’s eyes instinctively flicked to her chest—then he couldn’t help but recall S...

If things continued like this, August would end up taking all the credit!
Exchanging a glance, Lance and Koga tacitly changed the subject.
Lance asked, “How did you manage to take down Team Flare so quickly?”
Before leaving, August had complained at length about how challenging Team Flare would be and how long it might take. Yet barely two weeks had passed, and Team Flare had already become history.
Thinking about it carefully, Team Flare’s destruction ranked sec...

August had originally brought Serena to Johto just to watch Ash squirm.
Yet now, Ash’s single phrase—“Who are you?”—had stunned not only Serena but also August himself.
You really never disappoint, Ash!

“Ash… Do you really not remember me?”
Her hopeful eyes searched Ash’s face.

August turned and walked away.
Malva watched him go, astonished. "You seriously didn’t catch that Tyranitar?"
August shrugged. "There are so many Pokémon in this world—I can’t possibly catch every one I come across."
Reasonable and persuasive.
Yet…
"I don't think Tyranitar sees it that way," Malva pointed behind August.
He turned to look, realizing Tyranitar had silently risen at some point and was now quietly following him from afar.

Mt. Silver's hot springs were famed across the Johto region, something one simply couldn’t miss.

But before that…

Eeek!
Startled by August's sudden gaze, the Quagsire froze, instinctively sensing trouble.

Though the lightning cascading down from the sky appeared terrifying, its energy had already been tempered and purified by Tapu Koko, making it ideal for Electric-type Pokémon to absorb.
Thus, the electric Pokémon that would usually avoid lightning at all costs now eagerly raced to soak up the electricity.
At this moment—
Weedle, having long prepared herself, finally made her move.
With all her strength, she hurled the meticulously woven cocoon into the sky.

Su Qingxue nervously grasped her teacher’s arm.
Several Electric-type Pokémon were glaring at them menacingly, their hostility unmistakable.
Electric Pokémon were known to have quick tempers compared to other types. Coupled with today’s rare storm, a perfect opportunity to boost their strength, these wild Pokémon clearly didn’t welcome intruders like Guo Yi and his student.
Seeing this, Guo Yi’s gaze sharpened. He spoke softly, yet firmly:<...

Zzzt!
Trapped beneath the electrified net, Swellow let out an agonized cry.
If the electric current from the earlier silk web had felt like a mild shock, this [Electroweb] was undeniably high-voltage.
Its intensity rivaled even the lightning that periodically scorched the skies overhead.
After all, Weedle hadn’t eaten all those years’ worth of Thunderstruck Wood for nothing. The electric charge within her body had already grown comparable ...

“Teacher, is that the Weedle you mentioned?”
Su Qingxue asked curiously, staring at the Pokémon whose coloration was noticeably darker than a typical Weedle’s.
Perhaps due to its prolonged consumption of Thunderstruck Wood, this Weedle had grown nearly black. Without a careful look, it was easy to mistake it for part of the charred tree trunks around it.
Guo Yi nodded. “That's the one.”
“Don't underestimate her just because she's still in her initial form....

As for the reason his predecessor had come to this village…
Well, that was quite the melodramatic story.
Simply put, he had been dumped by his girlfriend, challenged her new boyfriend to...

Perhaps because his family was wealthy, his house was quite spacious—though he had no idea exactly how rich his family was. At least, certainly not as wealthy as James's family.

Take that blond girl with the magnetically floating ahoge, for example—Ijichi Nijika. Famous among second-year students, she’d recently formed a group called "Kessoku Band," clearly gearing up for the High School League.
