"Good boy, you must work hard. If you fail to meet my expectations, I'll be very displeased."

 Agatha voice carried a sharp edge, but her smile showed satisfaction at Tyson's agreement.

At the same time, Agatha was already imagining the faces of her peers when she introduced Tyson as her disciple. Let them see what a true prodigy looks like when mentored by a true master!

Compared to Agatha's anticipation, Tyson felt a twinge of regret. He could tell from her demeanor that she wasn't joking.

"By the way," Agatha began, as if suddenly recalling something. "Do you plan to evolve your Primeape into an Annihilape?"

Tyson nodded. "Yes. I happened upon information about Primeape's evolution, and I wanted to give it a try."

"That's ambitious," Agatha replied with a nod of approval. "With your special ability, I suspect you'll achieve that evolution sooner rather than later." She paused and handed him a notebook. "Here. These are my personal notes on raising Ghost-type Pokémon. Consider this a gesture of support."

Accepting the notes, Tyson realized that Agatha had already decided to mentor him. Refusing her earlier would have been foolish.

In truth, he had no reason to decline. Becoming Agatha's disciple would solidify his position and provide a powerful ally, especially against threats like the Mizutani family. And, in some ways, his methods aligned with hers—unorthodox but effective.

"Now, let's talk about the Mizutani family," Agatha said, leaning back in her chair. "I've received intelligence that they plan to move against you soon. But don't assume it will be a direct confrontation."

Tyson's eyes narrowed. "You mean they might resort to poison, traps, or other underhanded methods?"

Agatha nodded. "Exactly. Remember, strength isn't limited to Pokémon battles. The Mizutani family is cunning, and they may target you when you least expect it. Here, take these."

From her bag, Agatha produced a small set of tools and laid them on the table.

"This antidote neutralizes many common poisons. This alarm device will allow me to locate you instantly. And this incense—wear it as a charm—will help you resist the effects of most drugs for a short time."

Tyson accepted the items, listening closely as she explained their use.

"One more thing," Agatha added, her tone sharp. "If they fail to assassinate you, they'll likely send a capable trainer next. Their goal will be to catch you off guard. But don't worry—your task is to lure them out. Once you do, I'll handle the rest. When I'm done, the Mizutani family will have no defense."

Tyson absorbed her words, feeling both the weight of responsibility and the reassurance of her support.

"Understood. I'll be cautious."

Agatha's expression softened slightly. "Good. Consider this your first test as my disciple. Handle it well, and you'll prove yourself."

Tyson straightened, determination lighting his eyes. "I won't disappoint you."

As Tyson prepared for his mission, the Mizutani family was also taking action.

"Pierre, how is Zebstrika positioned?"

Pierre, Mizutani Taki's confidant, answered without hesitation. "The young master has already arranged everything. No external interference will disrupt this operation."

Taki nodded. "Excellent. Proceed as planned. This is the first step to consolidating my power."

Pierre left to carry out the orders. Meanwhile, Taki sat back in his chair, his thoughts dark.

For years, Mizutani Taki had held the title of family head, but true authority lay elsewhere—with the family patriarch, Junichiro Mizutani. Every major decision had to be approved by Junichiro, leaving Taki with little more than ceremonial power.

Taki's grip tightened on the armrest of his chair. He had tasted power, and the thought of losing it was unbearable.

"It's time for a change," he muttered, standing with newfound resolve.

If Junichiro's hold on the family couldn't be loosened, Taki would ensure it was broken altogether.
