Capítulo 59: Chapter 59: Did You Bring the Trainer Here?
After a dreamless night, Gary Oak slept soundly, wrapped in the warm fur of his Arcanine, which felt like a soft pillow.
"Ugh~ Ohayo~" Stretching lazily, Gary rubbed his eyes, preparing to get up.
"Hm?" As he was about to rise, his body stiffened in confusion. What was pressing down on him?
"Chirp~" A purple-haired little girl yawned, her long eyelashes fluttering before her eyes widened in shock. "Ah!!! Why are you in my tent?!"
Gary covered his ears and shouted in exasperation, "I'm half asleep here! This is my tent!"
With a swift backflip, the girl slammed into the top of the tent with a thud, then crouched down, holding her head in dismay.
"Wuwu~ So we're innocent, right…"
Gary rolled his eyes dramatically. "Maybe you should consider getting off me before you talk…"
"Ah, I'm sorry!" The girl blushed and hurriedly ran out of the tent.
Looking at the dent on the support pole of his tent that was round and full of "wisdom," Gary got up angrily. "What kind of physical condition is this? It's like a metal rod got dented!"
After tidying up his clothes, Gary emerged from the tent to find the female ninja and Arcanine sitting obediently side by side at the entrance…
"Arcanine, how did you get out last night?" Gary frowned at it.
"Well… about last night, I don't mind…" Janine looked up with a pitiful expression.
"I do mind…" Gary rolled his eyes again.
"Woo~" Arcanine stuck out its tongue and whined affectionately.
( o╥﹏╥o Master, that little girl drooled while sleeping! I got half my leg wet…)
"Alright… it's not your fault…" Gary sighed. After all, it was a Fire-type Pokémon; it was indeed unfair for it to be cuddled by a drooling little girl all night…
Seeing both Janine and Arcanine sitting at the entrance reflecting on their actions made Gary lose his temper. "Forget it; let's have breakfast first. We'll head to the Fuchsia Gym after that. Janine, you better remember the way home~"
Upon hearing this, Janine's eyes lit up with renewed confidence. "Don't worry, my lord! I promise to take you to Mr. Koga's base!"
Gary thought to himself: "To hell with 'my lord'!"
Breakfast consisted of simple coffee and croissants. Janine seemed particularly interested in the sweet stuffed pastries, so Gary's stock of bread quickly diminished…
Feeling satisfied after eating, Janine patted her belly. "So delicious! You really know how to eat well, Gary!"
Mounting Arcanine, Gary waved his hand. "Lead the way!"
"Got it~" The female ninja skillfully leapt into action and began darting through the trees.
Arcanine galloped effortlessly behind her.
Before long, they emerged from the woods into a canyon.
Across the canyon stood an old building complex that exuded a sense of age.
"Hey! This is my home—the Fuchsia Gym!" Janine proudly pointed across.
Raising an eyebrow, Gary exclaimed: "Wow… Ah! You led me into a ditch! Since we're here, let's go meet Mr. Koga."
Crossing a narrow wooden suspension bridge, Gary and Janine reached the front door of the mansion.
Before Gary could knock, Janine suddenly gasped. "There's killing intent!"
Smack! Three shurikens landed squarely in front of Gary, embedding themselves into the ground.
"Ah? Did I miss?" A slightly older female voice called from atop a nearby wall.
Watching this familiar throwing technique made Gary ponder; could it be that Mr. Koga's house had no reliable ninjas aside from him?
"So this is how guests are treated at the Fuchsia Gym?" Gary scoffed as he asked loudly.
"Hahaha~" An unsettling laugh echoed as a female ninja dressed in red leaped down from the wall to stand before Gary.
"I bloom from darkness like flowers before dawn—Ninja Aya is here!" The female ninja licked her lips alluringly.
"Ninjas are creatures of darkness; indeed it's hard to perform under this sunlight…"
"Auntie, that was just a slip of your hand! Besides, what kind of proper ninja wears pink pajamas at night paired with bright red socks? With those flashy colors, you'd stand out like a light bulb in the dark!" Gary couldn't help but unleash a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
If Janine insulted traditional ninjutsu, then this female ninja was an affront to the entire profession…
"A-Auntie! Hmph! Sharp-tongued brat! What business do you have at our Fuchsia Gym, and how did you find us?" The female ninja glared angrily.
"Auntie Aya, he came to challenge the gym; stop causing a scene and call Dad out," Janine reminded her from beside them.
"Janine? You're back! So you're the trainer who brought him here!" Aya exclaimed as realization dawned on her.
"Uh… I just came back with Gary to take a look," Janine responded awkwardly.
"∑ooo? What? You've got a boyfriend now!" Aya gasped dramatically with gossip burning in her eyes.
"What?!" Both Gary and Janine were taken aback simultaneously.
"Wait right there! I'm going to tell my brother that we have a son-in-law visiting!!" With that statement, Aya threw down a smoke bomb and vanished before their eyes!
"No…" Gary's hand rose instinctively as he stood there petrified with his mouth open wide.
"Oh well… Auntie is always so scatterbrained; maybe her cycle is off," Janine shrugged her shoulders. "Let me sneak you inside."
The corner of Gary's mouth twitched; given this situation… going inside might not be appropriate right now…
However, before he could protest further, Janine's father arrived!
With a whoosh! The smoke cleared revealing a middle-aged man with an austere expression whose deep-set wrinkles could crush mosquitoes—a ninja uncle appeared!
This traditional ninja uncle was none other than Mr. Koga, who was about to take office as an Elite Four member specializing in Poison-types!
"Dad~" Janine called awkwardly as she hid behind Gary.
Rolling his eyes dramatically again: "Please don't let them misunderstand any further…"
Mr. Koga scrutinized both of them before suddenly tearing up and choking out: "Girl, although I'm usually strict with you… you shouldn't find yourself a man just to spite me…"
At this point, Gary's defenses crumbled completely. Was this family trying to kill him? Who said he wanted to marry this girl!
"No sir! I am…"
"Don't speak!" Mr. Koga shouted angrily while glaring at Gary, "I'll deal with you later…"
Sighing deeply while looking down: What kind of situation is this?
"Girl, as part of our ninja family heritage—you have responsibilities and obligations to inherit our legacy. Even if you want to find a husband, he should be another ninja—not just some pretty boy!"
"And—ninja ten commandments say… blah blah blah…" A long lecture poured out from Mr. Koga's mouth incessantly.
Taking a deep breath—this tone and vocabulary were making him anxious!
Sure enough—after hearing Mr. Koga's nagging—Janine, who had no real thoughts beforehand suddenly became displeased. Teenage rebellion kicked in immediately!
Smack! She hugged Gary, wrapping her long legs around his waist angrily saying: "You assumed things without me saying anything! Fine then—we're together now! Let whatever happen happen!"
"Pfft Σ???」∠!You little brat are going to give me heart problems…" Mr. Koga clutched his chest looking pale.
"Alright!!" Gary interrupted loudly. "What business do you two have that can't be discussed properly? I'm just here for a gym battle—not trying to become your son-in-law!"
"What?! You want to take my daughter away?!" Mr. Koga glared even more fiercely at Gary now.
"Oh dear—this handsome guy sure is greedy~" Aya returned fanning flames on both sides from earlier gossiping away on one side.
"You shut up!" Shooting Aya an annoyed glance—Gary continued explaining: "I'm only here for a gym challenge; I have no other intentions toward your daughter!"
"What?! Why wouldn't you have any intentions? Is my daughter not pretty enough?" Mr. Koga exclaimed dramatically.
"You see how tightly you two are hugging~" Aya added fuel to fire again while munching popcorn on her side watching all this unfold.
Throwing Janine aside—frustratedly scratching his head: "In any case—let's battle already!"
"Ding! Side quest initiated! Ding~ Kanto series quest: Journey towards Quartz Plateau begins now." Current progress: Obtain Fuchsia Gym Badge Reward: 500 achievement points; Toxic Skill Disk."
Mr. Koga nodded in agreement: "Fine then—I'll see what skills you possess!"
