Satoru didn't expect to be suddenly hugged, especially by a girl who seemed to know him well.
To be honest, more than this, he wanted to battle. With a Mega-Man-like Armarouge right in front of him, how could he resist the impulse?
I'm a man who's going to become a Pokémon Master. Women are a hindrance!
[Satoru-baby, don't say that This girl probably has some history with you. I suggest you give her a kiss. Ehehe~]
Furiko was completely unconcerned about Satoru's predicament. Both of them noticed Anon's arrival not far away.
Being weird again, aren't you!
Satoru felt a headache coming on. He tried hard to recall the past, but still couldn't remember anything.
MYGO was already slipping to second or third place. If he kept playing out this childhood friend drama, they might fall even further.
At that time, MYGO's pressure-monster, Shiina Taki, would probably grab him by the collar and say, "Satoru, are you the problem in this match?"
Which meant he had to shake off this enthusiastic girl in the shortest time possible and get to the wonderful Pokémon battle!
"It's been a long time, Karen." Satoru pushed away the girl named Aijo Karen. The two looked at each other.
The nearby Anon blinked in confusion.
The current situation was like this...
Satoru - Karen - Sylveon, Raichu, Froakie, Thwackey (watching the show) - and classmates.
Anon
Anon just wanted to go home.
How did I get NTR'd in the one minute I wasn't looking at Satoru?
Anon's heart was filled with pain. She couldn't find the right words to express her feelings and subconsciously took a step back. Satoru noticed her movement and turned his head, but by now, Anon was already thinking of escaping.
"Sorry, I came at a bad time."
She wanted to run, just like she had from the Galar region and from Taki's pressure. But how could Satoru let her go?
A lifetime of Pokémon battles. If Anon really ran away, Satoru would probably drag her home and discipline her!
"No, you came at just the right time."
Satoru extended a hand towards Anon. The surrounding students, seeing this, were too shocked to speak. What kind of harem line was that?
Only the Pokémon beside him remained calm.
"Raichu (Standard procedure.)" "Kerokero (I'm pretty much used to it.)" "Pachi (Mhm.)"
"A friend?" Karen tilted her head, looking at Satoru with confusion.
"A partner on the same team!"
After thinking carefully, Anon decided that Satoru probably wouldn't go looking for other women behind her back.
After all, he was that epic-level blockhead. There was really no need to even think about it. It was just that the shock from just now had messed up her thoughts.
Which meant that this brown-haired girl was probably a scheming, intense girl, just like Soyo-san!
I have to teach her a good lesson in a Pokémon battle.
"It's time to go, Satoru. We should probably continue with the cup."
With this thought, Anon moved behind Satoru, wrapped her arms around his waist, and pulled him away, into her own embrace.
Although the action was a bit intimate, Anon had gradually gotten used to it.
"Yeah, sorry, Karen. We'll see each other next time. I have something to do."
At Anon's words, Satoru also suppressed his inner desires and said goodbye.
I want to battle that Armarouge!
I really want to!
Unfortunately, he had to endure. A proper reunion would probably take a long time, and currently, he had the team to think about. He couldn't stop here.
The two prepared to leave, and Aijo Karen visibly deflated.
"Huh? But we just met! Satoru, you're not going to part with your childhood friend just like that, are you~~"
Karen's disappointed voice rang out, but it didn't stop Anon from dragging Satoru away.
No matter what she said, farming battle points was the most important thing!
Satoru had already made up his mind to prioritize MYGO's matters.
Once they could go to the Tera Dome, they could catch new Pokémon and get one step closer to becoming truly strong.
A temptation of this level couldn't affect a Super-Masaran at all.
"By the way, we haven't had a Pokémon battle in a long time. How about a battle today? I'm on a 10-win streak right now. If I win, I'll definitely get a lot of battle points."
At this, the corners of Karen's lips curved into a sunny smile. She took a Poké Ball from her pocket, as if she were certain he would agree.
To restore the glory of MYGO is my undeniable duty!
"Of course, no problem. The battlefield where you were just now should be fine, right?"
Hearing this, how could Satoru possibly resist? He stopped in his tracks.
Of course, he had to thrash Aijo Karen!
A Pokémon battle? A battle brain like Satoru could never refuse such a temptation.
Especially with a Pokémon like Armarouge. Just thinking about it was exciting!
He wanted to take an Armor Cannon head-on and experience what it felt like.
The Super-Masaran couldn't help but have this thought.
Oh no, this girl really might be Satoru's childhood friend. She's grasped his greatest weakness!
Anon's Danger Sense ability activated, but she wasn't that panicked in her heart.
Even if you're a childhood friend, you can't win over a blockhead!
I'm calling it!
It's just, she didn't know if it was her imagination, but Anon could see a hint of cunning in Aijo Karen's eyes. She didn't seem like the energetic idiot she appeared to be.
This was Anon-stein's intuition.
We're both named 'Ai', can't we not play mind games?
The three of them and the four Pokémon returned to the battlefield where Karen had been.
"Raichu, I choose you!" Satoru stretched out his hand, fired up.
"Rai-Rai... (I'm battling Karen? Seriously?)"
But Raichu just pointed to its own cheek. It wasn't like its master; it could see the current situation.
If it won, it was an assist for Anon. If it lost, it was an assist for Karen.
Because if it lost, Karen would start clinging to Satoru, pestering him for Pokémon battles, which he would surely not refuse.
But there was no other way. It wanted to battle too, so it eagerly went to the battlefield.
Winning was the most important thing!
On this point, both it and Satoru were in agreement.
"RAI~~!" The yellow electric sacs on Raichu's cheeks crackled with electricity, surging with its fighting spirit.
As for losing, that was impossible. The combination of it and Satoru was invincible!
We will win!
"Armarouge, I choose you!"
"Huh?"
Satoru wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but the way Aijo Karen threw her Poké Ball seemed very similar to his. In fact, it was exactly the same.
Satoru, my boy, I'm really starting to believe Karen is my childhood friend now.
