249 Chapter 250

News of Teacher Luke challenging and defeating Saffron Gym, especially Sabrina, quickly spread like wildfire, sparking heated discussions in the group.

"Even with Psychic, Sabrina, favored by the heavens in command, lost in this manner."

Brock squinted, arms folded, nodding approvingly.

"Teacher Luke's fundamental skills are truly profound and immeasurable…"

"Absolutely." Gold brushed the bangs from his forehead and hummed.

Even the stunning elder sister from Saffron City succumbed to Teacher Luke.

Assigning him a perfect score seems justified!

"Did Sabrina really lose…"

With her formidable Psychic abilities, Sabrina was trickier than most other Gym Leaders.

Blue slipped one hand into his pocket, lost in thought.

Recalling the scenes where Teacher Luke and Lance fought to a draw.

Perhaps Teacher Luke's strength is not far from that of a Champion...

Even if it weren't for his nightmarish luck, I might encounter him–

Shaking his head, Blue raised the brown bangs on his forehead, a self-assured smile playing on his lips.

I'm actually... like Red, looking forward to it!

Luke sighed.

Let me explain!

Gengar came to apply as a coach…

I really didn't intend to challenge Sabrina's Gym!

Even if I didn't use my full power, a loss is a loss.

Sabrina won't argue like a certain "Hatcher."

Sabrina sent a message with a faint smile.

"Teacher Luke is quite challenging to deal with~"

Teacher Luke:?

Far away on the Sevii Islands, in a house filled with pillows on the ground.

Old woman Lorelei blushed.

Oops... unintentionally, my thoughts went there!

Probably watching too much of that show, even my glasses have a Yellow filter of their own.

Slapping her own cheeks, Lorelei typed:

"Ah… losing to Teacher Luke, it's normal for someone to compliment him!"

You're obviously getting darker and darker!

As partners guided by the spoon of destiny.

Green teased: "Teacher Luke bullied another girl?"

Bullied?

Teacher Luke's mood was delicate.

Don't you see she took out the ancestral Alakazam solo against me!

Luckily, I'm dirty... no, fortunately, I'm better than that.

"Speaking of which." Yellow from Viridian Forest pondered for a moment.

"Teacher Luke, why did the Gym challenge start suddenly?"

"This girl is quite curious about this too." Erika nodded.

As a Celadon University teacher, Teacher Luke could even submit an application to the Pokémon Verification Center for the Alliance conference.

One more move... could it be that there's a hidden meaning?

"I see!"

Brock, with a "poor brother bond" with Teacher Luke, suddenly slapped his hand.

"Teacher Luke is collecting bonuses from the Alliance after obtaining all eight Badges!"

Before a Trainer obtains the Badge and title, all expenses are at their own cost.

Only after the Badge is collected, the Alliance provides them with allowances.

With Teacher Luke's personality, he beats Kanto's eight Gyms, then requests bonuses from the Alliance...

He really could do it!!

"Well, so that's it!" Misty said in amazement.

Jasmine and Whitney, far away in Johto, shivered.

With the recent merging of the Indigo Plateau Conference and the Silver Conference, the Alliance conference's level has significantly improved.

So now, after Teacher Luke conquers Kanto... Is Johto next in line?

"This, this?"

Erika was taken aback, nodded, and said in a daze.

"This girl's Badge is ready. Teacher Luke can come and pick it up at any time."

"Me too... though I hate to admit it."

Brock nodded: "But I really want to have a manly duel with Teacher Luke!"

"I'm not doing it... Anyway, I'm practicing in the Orange Islands."

Misty blushed with embarrassment, saying: "Teacher Luke, if you want a Badge, please take care of my three elder sisters…"

Teacher Luke:? ? ?

What does that mean?!

I just got one Badge here, and it still feels awkward for a long time.

Are they about to be collected all at once?

Are you plotting backstabs and combos with cleaves?!

"So to speak."

Crystal counted the days, crying out in surprise:

"Teacher Luke, maybe you can really catch up with the January General Assembly at the Alliance!"

Collecting all eight Badges in just over a month is quite an astonishing record!

Silver, lurking in the shadows, took a moment to glance at the chat content and remained silent.

Gym Badge?

Is challenging even necessary?

Can't we just sneak in and take it while the Gym Leader is away!

"Is this progress too fast?" Sapphire questioned.

At the start, she and Ruby traversed the Hoenn Region in 80 days, so they have no sense of time.

"You can't count that, Sapphire," Ruby remarked.

"When facing a formidable opponent like Teacher Luke, the Gym Leader will naturally give their best."

"Yes," Steven smiled slightly.

"To put it in gaming terms... it's like the difference between one week and two weeks."

"I get it..."

Wattson, the Old Master, hugged his arm, nodded slowly, and suddenly exclaimed.

"When will the new game come out? I can't pull a UR for that card, it's boring!"

Gold: "It's like I got it!"

Green: "Isn't this Flash Card just drawn?"

Steven agreed, "I think the drop rate is quite high."

The millionaire Steven-san spent over one hundred thousand to collect all the Flash Cards.

For Steven, this price is quite reasonable.

Gold paused for a moment.

Damn lucky people!

Gold: [Eat my brave bird and slam.jpg]

In the animation, Togekiss, full of temper, transforms into a meteor and rushes towards him.

"Haha, just kidding."

Steven chuckled, "Don't be angry, I'll send you a red envelope."

[Group members, I was the first to give out red envelopes, click to download the latest version to receive]

Green's eyes transformed into the shape of a yen symbol.

"Thank you, Boss!"

Gold exclaimed, "I didn't get anything at all!"

Teacher Luke grumbled, "Darn it, I couldn't get one either!"

Gold retorted, "Darn! Old Master Wattson, did you open the red envelope and vanish in 0.01 seconds!"

"How is that possible!" Wattson chuckled, "If you don't believe me, send another one!"

[Group member 'The Fighter' distributes red envelopes...]

Gold: Oh, thanks, Senior Red!

Yellow of Viridian Forest exclaimed excitedly, "I got it!"

"Hmm?" Blue raised an eyebrow, glancing at the phone interface, "Too bad, it's almost gone."

Claire grumbled, "Even the Elite is snatching, it's outrageous!"

Lance chimed in, "Did you see Mr. Steven? He's also snatching red envelopes."

"Hahaha," Steven chuckled heartily, "I'm still the luck king!"

Wattson once again claimed the first place in hand speed.

Teacher Luke complained, "Old Master, you said you didn't open it!"

Wattson replied, "I slipped away! (Smiling with teeth.jpg)"

...

In the end, they wrapped up with Wattson suggesting everyone go for milk tea.

The Old Master was in a playful mood, enjoying the camaraderie with the youngsters.

The other Gym Leaders, after assuring Luke that he could come and collect the Badge anytime, signed off.

Closing the group chat.

Teacher Luke, feeling weary, sighed deeply.

"What kind of feeling is this... everyone is so eager to give me Badges?"

Please, keep them, Badges don't need to be handed out to those who don't need them!

However, the strength of the Kanto Region Gym Leaders is indeed remarkable.

Most of the Badges obtained by Ash in Kanto were gifted by Gym Leaders.

After all, in this world view, Brock and Misty have mastered Mega Evolution.

For educational purposes, weaker Pokémon are selected for assessments.

Wattson also reminded Luke.

Regarding new game projects, it was time to plan the itinerary.

"The next venture can enter the realm of online games..."

Seated in his bedroom, Luke opened his notebook and began crafting the plan.

"It would be best to synchronize with mobile games, a dual-end release..."

The first idea that crossed Luke's mind was an online board game akin to Hearthstone.

Pokémon Trading Card is a mobile game with a two-terminal distribution, and there's no technical challenge.

However, with physical card sales skyrocketing, there was no urgency to introduce an online version, which might dampen enthusiasm for tangible card purchases.

Luke decided to wait until the fervor for Pokémon Trading Card subsides before considering an online version.

"This plan should be workable."

After contemplating for a while, Luke jotted down the name of the new game in the planning document...
