Yasushi and Kōmatsu

Early the next morning, Eichi was awakened by Larvesta. He was not surprised.

It was like this every time. After getting up and going through his routine, the other Pokémon ate their Pokémon food while Larvesta stayed off to the side alone.

He took out a test tube filled with green nutrient solution from his backpack.

Teacher Jiang Ben had given it to him. It was said that a single bottle cost at least a hundred thousand, and there were not many in the entire research institute.

Yet for Larvesta's sake, Teacher Jiang Ben had given Eichi thirty bottles.

A full thirty bottles. It was said that there would be more once he used them up.

Eichi felt rather embarrassed about it, but it was Teacher Jiang Ben's kindness. How could he simply refuse it? (Funny.)

After breakfast, Eichi said to Larvesta, "Larvesta, I'm going to class. Stay in the room and behave. Don't run around."

Eichi had not chosen to put Larvesta back into a Poké Ball, because his Pokémon roster was already full.

Once he caught Larvesta, he would have to send one of his Pokémon back to the boarding facility.

The Five School League was about to begin, and every Pokémon on his team would be useful.

"Beedrill, Heracross, you two stay home too and watch the place."

"Beedrill, Flygon, keep a close eye on them. Don't let them mess around."

After giving them his instructions, Eichi went off to class.

As soon as Eichi left, Heracross ran over to Larvesta and tried to show its goodwill.

Larvesta edged back slightly. The young Larvesta felt that Heracross was unreliable and had ill intentions toward it.

Heracross really did have ulterior motives. It was bored and wanted to play with Larvesta, but Larvesta was not friendly toward it
