Pokémon：Trainer's Gambit

Chapter 131 - 0131: Natsume-sensei's Second Training Session

Moving is undoubtedly a grueling task. By the time the sun had set, the last of the belongings had finally been moved. The Neighborhood Committee Auntie waved with a smile, "If you need anything, just call Auntie, don't be shy!"

"Machoke!" The Machoke flexed their muscles, striking bodybuilding poses and cheering in unison. Natsume nodded with a grin, "Will do!" The new home was a small villa, fenceless, with a low, narrow wall and a few tender green vines creeping along it.

The red eaves and the snow-white marble balcony, complete with a clothesline, overlooked a small grassy courtyard.

All in all, it bore a striking resemblance to Shin-chan's house. Natsume examined it for a moment before nodding slowly.

Renting this villa in Tokyo for just 10,000 Pokémon Coins a month was definitely a steal!

"This is our new home," Natsume said with a smile.

"Let's tidy up and get dinner ready!"

"Haunter!" Haunter, carrying a box, grinned excitedly. Squirtle wiped its sweat, placed the fish tank on the ground, and then froze when it glanced back.

Wait, weren't we supposed to carry our own luggage? Then why isn't Eevee carrying anything?!

"Eevee?" Eevee shot Squirtle a sidelong glance. You got a problem? Squirtle hesitated for a moment before hurriedly picking up the fish tank and scurrying inside.

Better make myself scarce! As Squirtle looked at the house, a glint of determination flashed in its eyes. Hmm... I've already scanned it with my Aura.

This isn't an illusion! Natsume chuckled, carrying Eevee's hamster wheel, and followed inside.

The hallway led to the kitchen, where an oval-shaped table large enough to seat several Pokémon came into view.

Natsume's expression turned odd. "There's no way... we have that many Pokémon eating here, right?" He turned on the ceiling light, and the warm orange glow filled the room, adding a cozy atmosphere.

Natsume set down the hamster wheel, skillfully tied on an apron, and nodded with determination.

"Haunter! Clean up the room, we'll have dinner soon!"

"Haunter! (?`▽′?)?" Eevee pushed its hamster wheel into the living room, plopped down on the floor, and wagged its tail.

Suddenly, a blush spread across Eevee's face. Have I... really gained weight lately...?

"Eevee! (〃>皿
