章節 54: Chapter 53: The Mysterious Boy

With two beautiful girls each with her own distinct style walking beside him, Kaminari strolled down the street, attracting envious glares from the men around.

"Well... even though I'm not an adult yet, this feels pretty good," Kaminari chuckled inwardly. It wasn't that he had romantic feelings for either of them, but come on, what boy wouldn't feel a little proud in this situation?

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in front of them.

"My bag! He stole my bag!"

Kaminari, Kyoka, and Momo turned their heads to see a man wearing a cat-like mask sprinting past them, clutching a woman's handbag. Behind him, a middle-aged woman in a red dress, teetering on high heels, was chasing after him, yelling for help between labored breaths.

"Kaminari?" Both Momo and Kyoka glanced at him expectantly, but Kaminari just shook his head and pulled them to the side, watching the thief dash by.

"We should leave this to the patrolling Heroes or the police," Kaminari whispered. "By law, we're not allowed to use our Quirks on people unless it's an emergency. And without Quirks, we'd probably get hurt trying to stop him."

This wasn't like the time they'd saved the elderly man. Back then, it was a matter of life and death, and Kaminari hadn't hesitated to break the rules. But for something like petty theft, there was no reason to get involved and risk trouble.

"Hey, it's broad daylight, and you're grabbing bags?" a new voice called out.

A boy with messy purple hair and narrow, triangular eyes stood calmly watching the cat-headed thief approach.

Kaminari frowned, sizing him up. "What's he planning to do? Use his Quirk? He doesn't look like a pro Hero." The boy appeared to be around the same age as Kaminari, so he probably wasn't licensed to intervene either.

"Is he just another hotheaded kid trying to be a hero?" Kaminari wondered.

The thief, now looking more desperate, snarled and raised his left hand, his nails suddenly growing long and sharp, clearly dangerous.

Seeing this, Kaminari discreetly took out a hundred-yen coin from his pocket, prepared to use it if things got out of hand.

But to his surprise, the purple-haired boy didn't do anything. He simply stepped aside and let the thief run by, just like Kaminari had.

The onlookers let out a collective sigh of relief, though many shot the boy disapproving looks. "If you're not going to do anything, why pretend to be brave?" some muttered.

Kaminari also relaxed, letting the coin fall back into his palm. He was just about to leave with Momo and Kyoka when the boy spoke again.

"Stop. Don't move."

The crowd snickered at his words. "Here we go again," someone chuckled. "Does he really think the thief is just going to stop because he said so?"

But, strangely enough... the thief did stop.

Less than ten meters away from the purple-haired boy, the thief froze in place, unable to move. His eyes darted around in panic as if something invisible was holding him back, his body refusing to obey his commands.

"Just stay there. The police or a Hero will come for you soon," the boy said calmly. Then, turning to the crowd, he added, "Don't touch him until they arrive."

Without waiting for a response, the boy turned and walked away, leaving everyone including Kaminari and his friends staring in shock.

Within minutes, several Heroes and police officers arrived on the scene. They found the thief still standing frozen, looking bewildered.

"First time I've seen a thief who doesn't try to run," one Hero remarked as he approached, handcuffs at the ready.

As soon as the handcuffs clicked around the thief's wrists, his body unfroze, and he collapsed to the ground in confusion. He seemed just as surprised as everyone else.

"What just happened?" Kaminari muttered to himself as they continued walking toward his father's company. He couldn't stop thinking about the mysterious boy and his strange Quirk.

"This is the first time I've seen an ability like that. It was almost like... mind control," Kaminari thought, replaying the scene in his head.

"Based on the distance, it seems like he can control people from afar," Kaminari mused. "But there's got to be some kind of limit. If not, his Quirk would be way too powerful, almost unfairly so."

Kaminari also thought about his teacher, Aizawa's Quirk, which could erase powers from a distance. But while Aizawa could stop someone's abilities temporarily, the boy's power seemed to completely immobilize his target.

"Kaminari, are you still thinking about that boy?" Momo asked, breaking his concentration.

"Yeah," Kaminari admitted. "His Quirk was seriously impressive. I'm trying to figure out how it worked. If I ever run into him again, I'd like to ask."

"I think I've seen him at school before," Kyoka said suddenly, surprising Kaminari.

"Wait, you've seen him at U.A.?" Kaminari asked, his interest piqued. "Is he from Class B?"

"No, I know everyone in Class B. He must be in one of the other departments," Kyoka replied thoughtfully.

"That's hard to believe," Kaminari said, thinking it over. "With a Quirk that strong, he'd have no trouble getting into the Hero Course."

But then Kaminari remembered how strict the entrance exam had been. "Actually, I guess his Quirk might not be suited for the kind of combat they test for during the exam. Still, it makes me wonder why U.A. doesn't consider abilities like his more carefully."

By this time, the three of them had arrived at Kaminari's father's office building.

Momo looked up at the structure and smiled. "Kaminari, your family's company is pretty big! It feels like one of our headquarters."

Kaminari chuckled awkwardly. "Uh... actually, we only occupy two floors..."

"Pfft!" Kyoka burst into laughter, her earlier tension melting away.

"Alright, let's head inside!" Kaminari said, leading the way into the building.

---

Meanwhile, in Shizuoka Prefecture, a blue-haired boy sat quietly, staring at his phone on the desk in front of him, waiting for a message.

"Kyoka... did you forget to mention me to Kaminari again?" he murmured to himself.

Behind him stood a brand-new electronic keyboard, waiting silently, just like its owner waiting for its first sound to be heard.

章節 55: Chapter 54: Initial Completion

"Ding."

The elevator doors slid open smoothly, revealing a bustling but orderly office space. Men and women in sharp suits moved efficiently around the area, each focused on their respective tasks. The low hum of work filled the air, faint conversations as files were exchanged, the sound of ringing phones promptly answered, and the rhythmic clicking of keyboards typing out reports.

When the nearby employees spotted Kaminari and his friends, they greeted him with warm, familiar smiles but nothing too formal. After all, they'd seen him countless times over the years, he was the president's son, after all.

"Hmm... looks like Dad didn't mention anything about Momo," Kaminari mused quietly as he led Kyoka and Momo toward the president's office.

"Wow!" Momo exclaimed softly, her eyes lighting up with interest as she took in the surroundings. "Kaminari, your family's company is really focused on 'Pikachu.' There are so many of them around here!"

"Yeah, it's like Pikachu paradise," Kyoka added, nodding toward the large two-meter-high Pikachu posters that adorned the walls, along with various Pikachu-themed merchandise and stickers scattered throughout the office.

"Hey, what are those?" Kyoka asked, pointing toward some posters near the floor-to-ceiling windows. "They don't look like Pikachu."

Kaminari and Momo followed her gaze. The posters showed three unfamiliar Pokémon, each with a Poké Ball hovering above their heads, all in vibrant colors and unique shapes.

"Oh, those," Kaminari said with a smile. "Those are the starter Pokémon. The red one is Charmander, a Fire-type. The little turtle is Squirtle, a Water-type, and the green one over there is Bulbasaur, a Grass-type."

"Shu...ba? What does that mean?" Kyoka asked, tilting her head, her confusion making her look rather adorable.

Kaminari chuckled. "That's just the species name for Pikachu and the others. They're what we call basic Pokémon."

Of course, Kaminari didn't mention that he had drawn these characters himself, at least, the original three. Beyond those, he'd created basic sketches of several Pokémon and planned to leave the rest of the designs to his mother and a team of professional cartoonists.

"They're really interesting designs!" Momo said, clearly impressed. As someone with a keen business sense, she quickly grasped the potential behind what Kaminari's family was doing.

Just Pikachu alone had built a successful company. Expanding it into an entire Pokémon world with multiple characters? The possibilities were endless.

"Son!"

Kaminari's father appeared, having just been notified by his secretary that they had arrived. He strode over to greet them, his eyes lighting up as he took in the sight of Momo and Kyoka. Well, mostly Momo, he was eager to meet the young lady from the prestigious Yaoyorozu family.

"Dad, this is Kyoka Jiro and Momo Yaoyorozu," Kaminari introduced them formally. "They're my classmates and members of the Pikachu Band."

"Ah, very nice to meet you!" Kaminari's dad said, beaming. "Such lovely young ladies. Please take good care of Kaminari!"

"Hello, sir," Momo and Kyoka replied politely, both bowing in greeting.

Kaminari's father practically glowed with pride. His son was clearly doing well, not only starting a band but also bringing home such charming and capable friends. He couldn't help but think Kaminari was already much more accomplished than he had been at his age.

"Let's head down to the recording studio on the second floor," his dad said, pointing to the elevator. "Dawu should have everything set up for you."

He led the way, eager to hear the song Kaminari had composed as the potential theme for their first animation project. Given the success of Kaminari's earlier work, he wasn't too worried, it would probably be great.

Soon, they arrived at the recording studio, which was sleek and well-equipped. Dawu, who was in charge of the technical side, had clearly taken his role seriously today. Instead of lounging around playing with his phone like usual, he was wearing a neat light-blue suit, his hair carefully styled, and he even had a pair of glasses that added a touch of professionalism.

"Alright," Kaminari's father said as they settled into the studio. They all gathered around a low glass coffee table, sinking into the soft leather couches. "Before we dive into the song, how much do you two know about 'Pokémon'?"

Kyoka and Momo exchanged glances, then shook their heads. Momo answered, "Honestly, we don't know much beyond Pikachu and the few characters Kaminari just introduced."

Kaminari's father smiled, not at all surprised. After all, Pokémon hadn't officially launched yet, so there wasn't much for them to know.

"That's alright," he said, reaching for a tablet on the table. He tapped a few buttons before handing it to them. "Take a look at this. It'll give you a good idea of what the series is about."

Kyoka and Momo leaned in, curious. The screen displayed a black-and-white comic cover featuring Pikachu perched on a young boy's shoulder, clearly a younger version of Kaminari himself, though with a much more "cute" and playful look compared to his real-life self.

"Wait, the manga's already out?" Kaminari asked, surprised.

"Haha, not quite," his dad laughed. "We've only got the first two chapters finished. It'll take a while before the whole series is ready."

Momo picked up the tablet and scooted closer to Kyoka, both of them intrigued. They hadn't expected Pokémon to feature Kaminari as the main character.

"This is so weird," Kyoka said with a smile, her eyes sparkling as she glanced at the chibi version of Kaminari on the screen. "It's the first time I've known someone who became a comic book protagonist!"

Momo giggled as well. "So, if this comic becomes popular, will we start seeing Kaminari merchandise, too? Maybe figurines?"

Kaminari and his dad exchanged glances, both realizing that this could very well be a possibility. Kaminari turned back to the girls, grinning. "If they make figures of me, would you guys buy them?"

"Definitely!" Kyoka blurted out, then immediately blushed, realizing how quickly she'd responded. She tried to hide her embarrassment with a sheepish smile, while Momo laughed beside her.
