Unfortunately, Satoru currently had no way to catch it. Even if it were possible, he would have to wait until after the "Bouffalant Cup" to get the necessary permissions.
As for why Satoru wanted to catch the Torchic, it was quite simple.
He could strangely sense the Torchic's inner thoughts, understanding its indomitable and passionate spirit.
Coach, I want to sign up for Aura classes. Where can I learn?
This was probably the power of Aura. Lately, he had been increasingly able to feel the hearts of Pokémon. Before long, he might be able to form an Aura Sphere in his hands.
Maybe I should find Coach Riolu to learn from in the future.
The thought couldn't help but cross Satoru's mind.
Riolu has the exclusive move Coaching.
Coaching: The user properly coaches its ally Pokémon, raising their Attack and Defense stats.
It probably had a talent for teaching Aura.
"Satoru, are you listening?" At this point, Sakiko had already noticed his gaze was fixed on the Torchic.
Ugh...
That strange feeling of jealousy flared up in her heart. I'm explaining things to you here, and you're getting distracted by another Pokémon.
"Ah... sorry. I just really want it to be my companion. That Torchic's movements just now were so cool, I couldn't help but be captivated."
At the girl's words, Satoru immediately snapped back to reality, feeling a little apologetic.
How should she scold him in this situation?
Should I coldly say "I wish you happiness" and then leave?
"Hmph~" Sakiko's jealousy lingered, but in the end, she just snorted and didn't say much more.
She wasn't the type to get jealous of a Pokémon. And she had also noticed the Torchic's movements. A normal Torchic couldn't do that; it was quite talented.
If it were a normal trainer, they would definitely try to catch it. However, according to what Sakiko knew, all of this Torchic's siblings had evolved, but it hadn't.
Therefore, even if its strength was greater than that of a normal Torchic, people were more inclined to catch a Combusken.
"Please forgive me, Sakiko!" Perhaps not being sincere enough, Satoru bowed slightly, looking particularly solemn and serious.
Seeing this, the corners of Sakiko's mouth unconsciously turned up into a slight smile.
For some reason, when others (like the maid) treated her this way, she felt nothing. But when Satoru did it, she felt a unique sense of satisfaction.
She had the urge to pin him down and have Pokémon battles with him every day.
Customer Service Rep Sakiko already wanted to use Satoru to relieve her stress!
A beast-like gaze appeared in Sakiko's eyes. Her hand touched the Poké Ball in her pocket but didn't take it out.
I really only think about myself, don't I~
"Mhm, I forgive you," Sakiko forcibly suppressed this desire.
Currently, she had six Pokémon, while he only had three. A 3v3 would be interesting, but a 6v6 full battle would be more so.
It was still too early.
Satoru was unaware of Sakiko's thoughts. His attention was completely captivated by the numerous Pokémon. If he had known, he would surely have excitedly pulled Sakiko into a battle.
"Sakiko, look over there! An Altaria is flying~"
"I know... Don't just suddenly grab my hand~" Sakiko's face flushed red, and she looked at him helplessly.
...
"I really want to catch that Torchic."
Leaving the Tera Dome, Satoru's mind was filled with the image of an evolved Torchic.
Blaziken's ability, Speed Boost, was undoubtedly top-tier.
Its typing was Fire/Fighting, both of which were popular offensive types.
As for why they were popular? Because the Steel type resisted so many things, which made Fire, Fighting, and Ground the most popular offensive types.
Among the Fire-type starters, Blaziken could be considered the strongest in its standard form, even comparable to Mega Charizard X. It was arguably the strongest Fire/Fighting Pokémon.
This was its strength without Mega Evolution. If it Mega Evolved, its power would far surpass that of other starters, and it could learn a wide variety of moves!
I miss you, glorious Mega Evolution.
A deep longing for Mega Evolution welled up in Satoru's heart.
He took out his phone, his gaze focusing on the screen. He suddenly noticed that Soyo had sent him a large number of messages.
"Soyo is really like a mother, so caring."
Satoru sighed. For some reason, he could always feel a maternal aura from her.
Nagasaki Soyo is the woman who could become his mother!
[...I don't think so. She's probably just a yandere who's latched onto you.]
The high-EQ Miss Furiko wanted to explain to Satoru, but she had already given up on making him notice those girls' romantic feelings.
Currently, as a love advisor, Furiko was becoming more and more interested in the development of their relationships.
As for her system duties? Its functions were too useless and didn't satisfy Satoru-baby. She was truly sorry.
The messages from Soyo were actually quite simple. Basically, the 'Bouffalant Cup' was not far off, and she hoped to come to his house every day for training.
Satoru: Of course, no problem~
After casually replying, Satoru prepared to head home.
But he didn't notice a girl watching him from not far away.
"Satoru just came out of the Tera Dome with Sakiko, right? What's their relationship?"
Nagasaki Soyo held her phone, staring at the message. The light in her eyes faded, and the coldness in her heart surpassed that of a May night.
Originally, she had wanted to invite the Gym-level Wakaba Mutsumi to join the team, but she didn't expect to be beaten to the punch by Toyokawa Sakiko. And now, passing by chance, she found that Sakiko had even stolen her boyfriend.
What kind of NTR behavior is this!
As the victim, Soyo strongly condemned these despicable methods.
If she could, Soyo would rather have a Shadow Game with Sakiko to win back her boyfriend.
Although she probably knew the two weren't a couple.
But if this continued, both her friend (Wakaba Mutsumi) and her boyfriend (Satoru) would be taken away.
She had to act first to stop it.
"Sakiko will probably participate in the 'Bouffalant Cup', right? Then I'll give her a little warning in advance..."
Soyo took a Luxury Ball from the pocket of her skirt and released the Pokémon inside.
Suddenly, a Dragon-type Pokémon, primarily blue and covered in black fur with three pairs of wings on its back, appeared.
"I'll use you to deal with her." Her face wore a cold expression, her eyes revealing a trace of dissatisfaction.
...
[Satoru-baby, was someone following us just now?]
"Huh? I think so, but it doesn't matter. Our focus should be on the cup right now."
Satoru trained with his three Pokémon, his mood growing more and more cheerful.
After all, the 'Bouffalant Cup' was about to begin!
