Pokémon on the Offensive

However.

Since Jiro had already run off, this matter could be pushed back for a while.

After all, even ordinary Pokémon eggs would not produce results within just a few days.

After thinking it over,

Tetsuya ultimately did not call Brock.

If the latter had run off alone, it could still be understood as an unplanned personal action.

But if he had taken the whole family with him,

then they must have had some plans and expectations for Brock and Jiro.

Tetsuya did not want to interfere too much in other people's family matters.

Besides,

"No way?"

He fell silent for a moment before answering with a strange expression.

"Teacher Tetsuya! Grandfather left with Uncle Brock and Grandpa Wupo! He said my sisters would manage the Gym for the next few years!"

Misty's voice came through, nearly cracking.

Tetsuya helplessly patted his forehead and sighed.

It was just that,

compared to the worse possibility, at least they were doing this willingly now rather than out of necessity.

Through Misty's intermittent explanation, Tetsuya confirmed as much.

Unlike Pewter,

Old Master Minglan had made many arrangements before
