"Teacher Jing He!"
"And the Royal Masked Man!"
"Whoa—are these two really teaching our tactics class?"
"..."
With Du Fu's introduction, Jing He and Kukui stepped out from backstage, drawing a wave of astonished cries from the students below.
Neither Jing He nor Kukui was unknown.
As the two took the stage,
the first-year Battle Department students, who had initially only come to tactics class as usual, immediately erupted with excitement.
Quite a few of them pulled out their phones to record the battle lesson, while others began notifying friends or posting messages on the campus forum.
Many second-, third-, and even fourth-year students put down their games, abandoned their dates, skipped class, and streamed nonstop into the lecture hall.
"Teacher Jing He?"
Steven Stone, Roxanne, and Ya Sa, seated below, were also somewhat surprised when they saw Jing He.
But they quickly pulled themselves together.
You might not study Teacher Jing He's tactics, but you couldn't afford not to know them.
"You two, get ready."
Du Fu acted as the referee and signaled for them to send out their Pokémon.
"Go."
Kukui threw out a Poké Ball. In a flash of red light, a burly orange Pokémon appeared on the field.
"Roar~~"
It was Dragonite, the Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon of the Kanto Region!
Dragonite in reality actually looked even chubbier than imagined, especially that big round belly. It looked incredibly soft, making people want to pat it.
"It's actually Dragonite!"
"The Royal Masked Man is playing dirty!"
"But Dragonite is so cute~~"
"..."
Seeing that Kukui had used Dragonite, Jing He's expression became slightly strange, but he still threw out the Poké Ball he had prepared beforehand.
"Woo~~"
Appearing before Jing He was an azure Pokémon with a hard shell on its back—Lapras! *Is this a rehearsal for a battle
