Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [613]

[Rock Tomb]!

Huge rocks rained continuously from the sky, crashing towards Aegislash, leaving no chance for it to catch a breath.

Never having been known for its speed, Aegislash was forced to meet the assault head-on.

[Sacred Sword]!

Several blades of light swept out from Aegislash, shattering the rocks midair.

Boom!

Crushed rocks fell around Aegislash, sending up clouds of dust. Amidst the momentary cover, Aegisl...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [612]

“Leon! Leon!”

“Over here!”

“Leon waved at me!”

“Boss Giovanni, nya~! Do your best!”

The moment Leon appeared, waves upon waves of cheers erupted from the crowd.

Facing such overwhelming home-field advantage, an opponent with shaky nerves would be rattled instantly; even showing 70% of their strength would be commendable.

Unfortunately for Leon, his opponent was Giovanni.

Confronted with deafening cheers from the audience, Giovanni rema...

Pokémon: My Titles Know No Limits! [611]

As Gardevoir took Eevee's place on the battlefield, Wallace admitted that initially, he’d felt his confidence waver a bit.

But he quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, losing to August wasn’t anything shameful.

Rather than hesitating and fretting over gains and losses, why not fight with everything he had? Who knew—he might even win.

Thinking this, Wallace straightened up, a spark igniting in his eyes.

“Milotic!” Wallace called out. “Dance your most be...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [165]

Although Yasui Makoto had suggested they just watch the race, he occasionally glanced over at Duramente, pondering some vague and uncertain memories.

In those memories, Duramente seemed to have fractured her leg sometime after the Japanese Derby.

She’d spent a long period recovering from her injury, returning to the track only in February or March of the following year.

Considering the experiences of Tokai Teio, Silence Suzuka, and Rice Shower—all of whom had also suffer...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [164]

When Almond Eye previously mentioned wanting him as her trainer, Yasui Makoto had considered an assigned trainer contract.

Breaking beyond the limitations of short and mile-distance races, moving toward longer distances—he felt this was very achievable.

From memory, Almond Eye's performances from mile to mid-distance were outstanding, even phenomenal.

Even setting aside these impressions, her performance during the previous school event—and the attention afterward—made...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [163]

“It’ll be very difficult, huh…” After hearing Silence Suzuka's words, Kitasan Black looked thoughtful. “Then… who does Suzuka-senpai think will win this race?”

“Well…” Suzuka tapped her chin thoughtfully for a moment, then looked apologetically at Kitasan. “Honestly…it's hard to say.”

“Hard to say…?” Kitasan blinked in surprise. “But senpai, didn’t you just say that Journey-senpai has very little chance of winning?”

“Normally, we could...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [162]

Kitasan Black fell silent abruptly after her unfinished question.

When she'd asked just now, she hadn’t thought deeply enough.

Only after the words left her lips did she recall that during that particular Tenno Sho (Autumn), Silence Suzuka-senpai had suffered a severe accident after the fourth turn—a leg fracture.

Although she eventually recovered fully after long treatment, a fracture was something every Uma Musume dreaded and desperately tried to avoid.

Regret ro...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [161]

Mount Mitou was located in Okutama-machi, within the Greater Tokyo area. So when Kitasan Black finished her training on Friday afternoon, it took just a few hours by car for everyone to return from the mountain to downtown Tokyo.

After disembarking at the station near evening, they swiftly transferred onto the subway heading to their hotel.

Just as during previous G1 events, giant screens on buildings near the subway station displayed racing highlights, promotional posters of famo...

Girls? I'm Going to Be a Pokémon Master! [80]

After hearing everything from Soyo, Satoshi could barely hold himself back. He wanted desperately to rush straight in and save Garchomp.

Garchomp’s scales could produce precious TMs like Scale Shot, Dragon Claw, Swords Dance, and Dragon Dance.

In this world, TMs were incredibly valuable. Each one sold for tens of thousands, even through legitimate channels, due to the complexity of their creation.

But if you made TMs by harming Pokémon, you could bypass that tedious proce...

Girls? I'm Going to Be a Pokémon Master! [79]

Satoshi and Soyo walked together along the quiet road home. He didn't really know why Soyo had stayed at the EcoDome so late, but it didn't matter much to him anyway.

As long as he couldn't sense any ill intent from her, that was enough.

Digging into people's secrets just wasn't his style—he believed deeply in Soyo's gentle heart.

Although, he didn't quite get why Soyo kept staring at his hand so intently.

Could she be tired from training at the EcoDome?

“Wan...

Girls? I'm Going to Be a Pokémon Master! [78]

“Quick, dodge it!”

But Torchic’s small body bounced agilely, just like a flickering ball of fire, effortlessly dodging Ursaring’s attack and swiftly circling behind it.

Ursaring had a base speed of 55, while Torchic was 45 plus Speed Boost (+1). Torchic was clearly the faster one here.

Suddenly, Torchic’s silhouette expanded in midair, charging straight into Ursaring and knocking it back a few steps with a solid hit—though the damage itself was minor.

“Ro...

Girls? I'm Going to Be a Pokémon Master! [77]

Sakiko was so careless—she almost felt like punching herself twice.

It was obvious her little lie would be noticed by Satoshi.

What kind of corporate slave even gets free afternoons?!

“Oh, is that so~? Well, then how about you work for me this afternoon? I just so happen to need a training partner anyway.”

Satoshi casually tossed out this suggestion while looking around, scouting the surroundings for a suitable training spot.

“Mm~ Alright, let’s do just...

Girls? I'm Going to Be a Pokémon Master! [76]

It's got spirit, just as expected!

Satoshi tilted his cap slightly, feeling somewhat pleased. For some reason, he could vaguely sense Torchic’s thoughts.

Probably due to the power of Aura or something.

He guessed silently in his heart, watching as Torchic’s flames burned even brighter, spinning rapidly and creating a fiery vortex—a whirlwind of blazing fire.

Its speed grew faster and faster, scorching air rushing forward, the blazing flames circling around Grooke...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [230]

Early the next morning, at the gates of Tracen Academy, a trainer with an afro hairstyle stepped out from a black sedan.

With an exaggerated swing of his arms and lively strides, he confidently walked through the gates.

As if celebrating his triumphant return, the afro-haired trainer stood in an open area, spread his arms wide, tilted his face to the sky, and took a deep breath of Tracen’s refreshing air. Then, looking toward the bright blue sky, he began loudly introducing hims...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [229]

Just as Mizuno was racking his brain for how to explain to Tokai Teio that unspoken rules had absolutely no legal basis—and trying to find a plausible excuse to refuse her invitation—someone suddenly tapped his shoulder.

Mizuno was about to turn around, but when Tokai Teio saw who stood behind him, her face immediately lit up, and she greeted sweetly:

“Prez~!”

“…” Mizuno's half-turned head froze instantly, cold sweat trickling down his neck.

Even though h...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [228]

“Six lengths! Tokai Teio has won her debut race by a full six lengths!”

As the announcer excitedly declared the results, the entire audience rose to their feet, showering Tokai Teio with thunderous cheers and praise.

Just yesterday, they had all thought Rice Shower was already the most talented young Uma they'd seen in recent times. Yet today, another prodigy—Tokai Teio—had appeared, even more impressive.

Perhaps due to her extraordinary leg flexibility, Teio had unl...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [227]

Since Tachyon had mysteriously disappeared on some business trip, President Rudolf and Air Groove were unable to obtain an antidote for the Want-a-Hug Potion. Trapped in an embarrassing embrace, they found it too inconvenient (and humiliating) to seek out Mizuno for revenge, fearing another wave of curious junior Uma would surround them, enthusiastically shipping them again. Thus, Mizuno narrowly escaped their wrath—for now.

Mizuno returned to his original training routine, actively c...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [226]

After escaping from the training room, Mizuno sneaked down one of Tracen Academy’s secluded paths. As he recalled the two Uma’s displeased glares, lingering dread crept over him.

Admittedly, his escape earlier had been incredibly cool—he’d even thrown in one of his top-10 anime exit lines, ending with a casual "Ja ne~" like some badass protagonist straight out of Naruto.

Yet, truthfully, he hadn’t really considered the consequences of tricking Rudolf and Air Gro...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [225]

“Just do it already!” Mizuno shouted, putting on an expression of fearless determination.

But he had no intention of heroically sacrificing himself to demonstrate that mere Uma were like ants before humans!

Because if he did that, there'd probably only be a dried-out corpse left here, weakly mumbling “oysters… oysters…”—only to be squeezed dry all over again.

So, he chose temporary forbearance, stalling for time until he found a chance…

Thus, Mizuno gen...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [224]

After leaving Tachyon's lab, Mizuno and the others returned to the team's training room.

Mizuno watched as a depressed King Halo headed back toward the classroom building. Then, turning around to re-enter the training room, he spotted President Rudolf and Air Groove calmly seated on chairs inside. Unable to hold back any longer, he voiced the question that had plagued him this entire morning but had lacked the opportunity to ask:

“Why were you two in my training room?”

�...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [223]

“I absolutely didn’t report you!” Mizuno frantically shook his head the moment he saw Tachyon’s accusing glare.

He still planned to buy the Intent Glasses someday; why on earth would he tip off the officials to the Black Market?!

His appearance here today was solely because President Rudolf and Air Groove insisted he accompany them. He had no intention whatsoever of participating in this raid!

“Whether you reported me or not will be clear in a second!” Tachyon na...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [222]

“Hm hm hmm~”

Inside a lab stacked high with bizarre potions, Tachyon, the mad scientist Uma, lounged lazily in her chair, one leg casually crossed over the other. Her hands, hidden beneath oversized sleeves, held a steaming cup of black tea like a hamster clutching a piece of cheese, humming cheerfully to herself.

As for why Tachyon was so delighted today, aside from the ample experimental funds she earned during her last Black Market sale, the primary reason was that her grea...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement [221]

“Luna?”

“President Rudolf?”

At the doorway, Mizuno Sora and King Halo stared in disbelief at Symboli Rudolf. Though she wore a kind expression, a terrifying pressure radiated from her entire being.

Why was Symboli Rudolf standing in their training room wearing pajamas?

And if one glanced slightly deeper inside, they'd find another pajama-clad figure sitting in a chair, hugging a sunflower-shaped pillow…

“Air Groove?”

Mizuno nearly jumped, mome...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [190]

Just how strong must a legendary figure truly be?

Before facing one directly, perhaps nobody could give a precise answer. Even Donna, who had grown up with the best resources imaginable, had never genuinely experienced a proper simulated race against an active legend since entering her classic year.

Of course, her own Trainer definitely possessed such strength—but Donna clearly understood that she was nowhere close to Gotham Song’s level. Never mind going all-out—even if her...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [189]

For an Uma Musume, what's the most important thing? Or rather, what's most essential to aid their professional career?

Victory, racing gear, opponents, and fans?

These should indeed be part of it—but in reality, they're either results to be pursued or things you can purchase with money. And the other two can't be quickly secured or reliably supported.

Especially for rookie Uma Musume who've just debuted—these young fillies have nothing but talent on display. These aren't...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [188]

“So that’s how it is. Then, I suppose we should prepare a set of daily necessities for Ruby-san in Mejiro Manor as well?”

“Ah… y-yes, probably…?”

Gotham Song had no idea why, but looking at Mejiro Ramonu, who wore her usual serene expression, utterly unreadable, she felt waves of chills running through her heart.

After returning from Daiichi Ruby’s home, the first thing Gotham Song saw was Ramonu, waiting for her at the entrance. Clearly, her elder sister had...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [187]

Just what does "normal" or "ordinary" mean… no, that's not quite right—rather, when it comes to love and affection, what exactly is "normal" for the average Uma Musume?

After waking up comfortably the next morning, Gotham Song stared blankly up at the chandelier on the ceiling, pondering this deeply profound question—one perhaps as challenging as deciding what to eat today.

People are destined to never fully understand lives they haven’t experienced themselves. When someon...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [186]

Where exactly did Daiichi Ruby’s scent come from?

That’s actually a very profound question—put differently, is it really possible for someone to naturally possess a pleasant fragrance?

In the hearts of many who've never come into contact with beautiful girls, they might assume this kind of thing exists: that from the very instant of birth, a pretty girl naturally emits an irresistibly sweet fragrance. It must be so!

But as Gotham Song—a beautiful girl who genuinely h...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [185]

Daiichi Ruby's home was truly massive—so very, very massive, even grander in scale than Mejiro Manor.

Of course, guided by Ruby, Gotham Song didn’t do anything as embarrassing as getting lost. She gracefully stepped into the banquet hall alongside the girl by her side, calmly accepting the stares from all around.

“I'll gladly accept, Song—today's you, who belongs only to me.”

Only then, and very softly, did Daiichi Ruby give this answer—responding positively to G...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [184]

A week after returning to Japan, Gotham Song actually enjoyed a rare stretch of peaceful days.

There shouldn't be any risk at Mejiro Manor, right? Though Satono Diamond had indeed started showing up more frequently, other than her, everyone else remained largely unchanged—this realization made Gotham Song breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, there are some changes, but not too many. At least these emotional monsters called Uma Musume aren't completely uncontrollable. It’s...
