A Casual Day

Sun shines on the sky and a garden full of vitality comes in view. The garden is full of vitality and natural mana. Two figures can be seen under a tree. Who else could these two be other than Xyno and Chisato?

Chisato is sitting on grass legs folded whereas Xyno is using her thighs as a lap pillow. They are relaxing under a tree, avoiding direct sunlight and enjoying the cold breeze. Chisato is slowly combing her fingers through his hair with a happy smile on her face.

It has been two months since Xyno came to The Academy City. Xyno has been working quite well at his research at the institute, while also taking care of his Pokemon's training and health. At night he gives mana crystals to Sett and Tiny to increase their level. His first paper may be published in the coming month.

Chisato has been coming to see Xyno a lot, almost every day when he is training his Pokemons in the day. Xyno usually works his job in the morning and during the day till the sun sets he trains his Pokemons. During his training, Chisato brings him lunch and enjoys talking with him.

Although they are not lovers, they have a special intimacy between themselves. The relationship between them has became quite close. Chisato finds herself comfortable around Xyno while Xyno feels relaxing around with her is quite enjoyable.

"So you are saying that you have completed most of the research work within 2 months? that's quite something" Chisato asks smiling, maybe happy with Xyno's achievement.

"Nothing much, most of the theory was already complete before I arrived here," Xyno replied with an expression of bliss on his face.

"Still it's unbelievable that you are just fifteen and a half. I thought you were at least 20"

"Well, you never know!" Xyno chuckled.

How could she know that he was a reincarnator and in a sense older than her?

Like this, the conversation went on. Although Chisato has a quiet personality but she always transforms into a talkative person when they both are alone.

Behind them, Tiny can be seen training with Chisato's Leafeon, who seems to be teaching Tiny how to draw the energy from its surroundings and release it. It seemed like Leafeon was teaching Tiny Energy Ball. But Tiny seems to be struggling with the training since he wasn't very strong.

SPECIES: Leafeon (M)

AGE: 13 years

LEVEL: 44

TALENT: A+

ELEMENT: Grass

ABILITY: Leaf Guard, Chlorophyll

*Leaf Guard*

Leaf Guard prevents the bearer from succumbing to major status ailments (sleep, burns, poisoning, paralysis, or freezing) during sunny weather.

*Chlorophyll*

Chlorophyll doubles the ability-bearer's Speed during bright sunshine.

After being with Xyno for more than half a year, Tiny is already at level 18. Although Tiny has a somewhat lazy personality, but with Xyno's efforts and with his special talent, Tiny has grown quite well.

The jealous challenger kids have decreased significantly due to Tiny and Sett thrashing them quite hard. Tiny's biggest achievement was defeating a level 22 Ivysaur himself. He was so happy that he spent the next two days mainly basking under the sun.

NAME: Tiny (M)

SPECIES: Turtwig

AGE: 3 years 6 months

LEVEL: 18

LINK: Subordinate (6%)

TALENT: S

ELEMENT: Grass

ABILITY: Overgrowth

UNIQUE SKILL: Nature Sync

MOVES: Razor Leaf, Tackle, Bite, Synthesis

After his link with Tiny became 5%, Xyno also got a new Nature element. The confusing thing was that he got a Nature element instead of Grass. Xyno was making a hypothesis for this event.

On the other side, Sett was training with Gengar. Sett seems to be giving his all and sparring with Regina's Gengar, who seems to be taunting Sett and parrying his attacks.

"Kekeke~You need to do better than that, Sett. Now show me what you have learned so far fighting all those Pokemons in the Arena. Come at me with everything you have got!" Gengar seems to be trying to tempt Sett to attack him more fiercely, to which Sett is seemingly giving his all and improving a lot as well.

While Leafeon and Gengar are training Tiny and Sett, Chisato's Roselia seems to be spreading some sort of special fragrance, which smells both sweet and romantic. She was grinning strangely from the side. It could be seen that this Roselia is mischievous in nature.

SPECIES: Roselia (F)

AGE: 8 years

LEVEL: 36

TALENT: A

ELEMENT: Grass, Poison

ABILITY: Natural Fragrance, Poison Point

*Natural Fragrance*

The ability-bearer releases a natural smell which has the effect of calming the mind and dispelling hostility. It can also induce a romantic atmosphere in the surroundings.

*Poison point*

Contact with the Pokémon may poison the attacker.

Training devotedly, Tiny manages to draw out some energy from the surroundings and release a small Energy Ball attack. Tiny launches it in the air but being too weak it deteriorates. Tiny seems dissatisfied from the attack not being successful but Leafeon tries to cheer Tiny up and smiles at him. Seeing Leafeon trying to cheer him up Tiny cheers up and continues to hone his skills.

Sett seems to be doing his all but Gengar keeps shoving him away just from the faintest energy waves. Sett gets too heated up and gets angry, he unleashes a big dark energy wave directly at Gengar, which Gengar easily counters and attacks Sett. Sett gets shoved far away.

Chisato's Audino feeling Gengar is going too fierce on Sett complains to him.

SPECIES: Audino (F)

AGE: 12 years

LEVEL: 41

TALENT: B+

ELEMENT: Normal

ABILITY: Healer

*Healer*

Pokemon can heal injuries and status ailments.

"Kekeke~ What do you mean I should go easy on Sett? He will not win bigger fights when the time comes if he doesn't train this hard. Kekeke~ I know what I'm doing. We have always trained this way. Kekeke~" Gengar speaks to Audino.

Audino seems angry and pouts her face but Sett gets up and tells her to not worry about it.

"Oh? Back on your feet already, huh? Let's continue then. Kekeke~" Gengar continues training Sett. Audino seems concerned but doesn't meddle too much.

"Gengar sure seems to be enjoying training Sett." Chisato speaks while gently smiling at Xyno,

"Yeah, he likes to go all out and train Sett harder every time. But he is a caring teacher who makes sure Sett doesn't push himself too much."

"Tiny seems to be doing well with his training as well."

"Yeah, your Leafeon is a good teacher. He has already managed to grow this much."

"Make sure to give them proper diet after this."

"Yeah your recipe is awesome, It can increase mana amount without impurities." Xyno replies admiringly.

Chisato not only gave him a lecture on how to groom the pokemon, but she also has vast knowledge about what to feed them as well as the proper way of enhancing strength through mana rich food.

In this aspect, she is even better than Regina and Maria. Well, it is understandable as this is her field whereas they both are researchers.

The only problem is that everything is expensive. Although Xyno created some apps and software to support himself, they are clearly not enough. Pokemon Training is an expensive business.

Although he has some plans to earn money inside the Academy City but they will take time. And at this rate, his funds will be wiped out within 2 months. Maybe he should ask Maria for help? After all Maria is the daughter of the fifth richest man on this continent. Her father is the owner of Delta Tech Corporation.

As evening arrived, Xyno parted with Chisato and went to his residence. It has been an uneventful day but he felt strangely calm and happy.
