Time passed to after school in the afternoon. Today was Friday, and the team was taking a day off from training.
Seizing the opportunity, Satoru decided to visit the Tera Dome, not to catch Pokémon, but because he had received an invitation to enter.
He had been invited by Sakiko to tour the Tera Dome. Of course, it was just a tour; he didn't have permission to catch anything. Sakiko's performance over the past year had been excellent, so inviting one person for a tour was not a problem.
"Thanks, Sakiko. I'll definitely repay this favor."
The thought of seeing countless Pokémon filled Satoru's heart with joy.
[How about Satoru-baby marries her? I feel like Teacher Sakiko has already fallen for you. You can use your family's power to support her and give that corporate slave some warmth~]
"Stop being weird. Our goal right now is to find a suitable Pokémon in the Tera Dome, then participate in the cup, and then come back here to catch it."
According to the rules of a normal cup tournament, the top 5 teams would earn the right to catch Pokémon in the Tera Dome.
They could earn points and the right to catch Pokémon simultaneously. However, even the top 5 teams could only catch about three Pokémon at most.
Considering the limited financial capacity of families, the more Pokémon one had, the harder it was to support them, so such measures were necessary.
It wasn't possible to have a PC Box like in the games, but there were ranches for storing extra Pokémon, though using them also required a fee.
Coming to this world, Satoru increasingly felt the importance of money.
But it seemed he wasn't short on money; his family was quite wealthy.
It's just...
Where exactly is my home?
"Oh no, after I catch six Pokémon, where will the Poké Balls be sent?"
[Satoru-baby, that's not a problem You can stuff everything into my body. Because I'm a system, I have a huge inventory like in a game world. Come on in?]
"Furiko, can you please speak more normally?"
If he could, Satoru really didn't want to deal with her.
Why was his system so unhinged? It was just too absurd.
[Sob sob sob~~ Even though I love you so much. Crying.]
"...Well, thanks anyway."
[Great, Satoru, LOVE~]
Satoru sighed softly but still decided to thank her, as this ability was very useful to him. At the same time, he noticed Toyokawa Sakiko waiting patiently for him not far away.
Satoru's thoughts were completely captivated by the Pokémon that might be in the Tera Dome, lost in this exciting fantasy.
Seeing her, Satoru quickly ran over.
"Good afternoon, Sakiko."
"Mhm, good afternoon."
Sakiko's cheeks flushed slightly as she nodded.
The two had been chatting frequently on their phones these past few days. Sakiko also wanted to get to know her childhood friend better and wanted a rival to compete with, so she had invited him to the Tera Dome.
Of course, she just wanted to get to know him better. Sakiko had no other intentions!
Probably... maybe... possibly...
Sakiko's uncooperative heart was struggling.
Her gaze involuntarily fell on her pocket, or more precisely, on the six Poké Balls containing her precious Pokémon. She had brought them back from the Toyokawa estate that day.
Currently, Sakiko was confident she could crush Satoru.
We will win!
The two used their permissions to enter the Tera Dome. However, since it was just a visitor's pass, Satoru was looking at the Pokémon through a glass window.
Beside him were Raichu, Froakie, and Thwackey.
The Tera Dome had four areas, each with different geographical features and climates, forming a variety of natural environments.
The artificial sky projected onto the walls and dome of the Tera Dome also showed various appearances depending on the time and weather. At the same time, the temperature of each area was strictly controlled, and the Pokémon that inhabited them were completely different.
And currently in front of Satoru were:
Kricketune! The dragon slayer, Azumarill! The pre-evolution of Rayquaza! Various Tauros! The legendary Pokémon Arcanine! The rain brothers!
Just looking at them, Satoru could barely contain his desire to meet them.
"Thank you, Sakiko! I'm so happy you brought me to the Tera Dome!"
Filled with this excitement, Satoru couldn't help but move closer to Sakiko.
They were so close they could almost kiss, so close they could feel each other's heartbeats.
A shy blush spread across Sakiko's face, her heart filled with a sense of happiness.
"Wh-what are you doing? This distance is too improper!"
The feeling of shame followed, and Sakiko quickly pushed Satoru away, her body trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Satoru felt a little awkward.
"Sorry, sorry. I accidentally got too close."
[You have to learn to keep your distance, Satoru-baby~]
The three Pokémon beside him also covered their eyes, unable to watch.
Calm down... calm down...
The weak me is already dead... Don't be ashamed over something like this.
Sakiko closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner excitement and confusion.
But no matter how long she tried, she couldn't calm down, so she gave up.
"If you like the Tera Dome so much, why not become one of Niji-no-Hane Academy's Elite Four? If you become one of the school's Elite Four, you can come and catch Pokémon every day."
And I can see you and battle you every day.
Sakiko couldn't bring herself to say the last sentence. She lowered her head, extremely shy.
As for the Elite Four, it was a battle system created by Niji-no-Hane Academy in imitation of the regional Pokémon Leagues, used to rank the students' Pokémon battle strength.
Their strength was naturally not as great as the official Elite Four, but it was probably on par with or even surpassed that of a Gym Leader.
"No thanks. More than the school's Elite Four, I want to become the Champion of the Kanto region. But I will challenge them all."
Satoru understood.
The school's Elite Four or Champion were indeed strong, but they were still students. Their strength and mentality wouldn't be that formidable.
For example, the Blueberry Academy Champion Kieran in Scarlet and Violet fell to his knees after losing to the player, while the Elite Four member Drayton, unable to handle a loss, mocked him.
Satoru really wasn't interested in that kind of Elite Four.
"Do you think you can win?" Sakiko's heart tightened at the thought of him challenging the Elite Four.
"We will win!" The confidence Satoru exuded was as strong as that of a certain someone who was famously cut down.
But after saying it, a look of confusion appeared in his eyes. He turned to Sakiko, as if looking for an answer.
"So, who are they?"
You don't even know?!
Sakiko was stunned, not knowing what to say.
"The Elite Four are Ayase Eli, who specializes in Ice-types, and Minato Yukina, who specializes in Steel-types..."
Hearing Sakiko's explanation, Satoru was about to pay attention, but his gaze met that of a certain Pokémon.
"Cham~"
That Pokémon was training hard. It was constantly gathering energy, trying to shatter a rock with the force of its kicks. This scene deeply captivated his gaze.
[Satoru-baby, what's wrong?]
Nothing, I've just decided on my next companion!
Cool, strong, and it can even Mega Evolve!
Satoru's heart began to race with excitement.
And standing there was a...
Torchic!
