Pokemon: These Players are too annoying!

This is Red.

Red, along with Brock, Misty, and Leaf, is looking at the Moon Tunnel.

It's nighttime, but the lights here are so bright that the tunnel is well-lit. Unfortunately, they don't dare enter.

Why? Because there are so many Zubat here, and their mood is extremely agitated.

So why did this happen? Let me tell you the story.

Earlier, or more precisely, back in chapter 29

"GYATTT! LOOK AT THAT POKEMON, SUPER COOL!!"

This is Lukas, the author's favorite character (perfect for tormenting, BDSM).

After winning against the gym leader, he leads the players to Route 3 and sees Red's Pikachu being kidnapped, so he quickly steps in to help.

Although he wasn't very effective, seeing Brock's Steelix was "effective" in his eyes… in some way.

Brock was watching the players constantly groping his Steelix as if they were touching a diamond.

Steelix didn't like being touched and shook violently, causing the players to back off.

After all, Steelix is female and doesn't enjoy being surrounded and touched by so many men.

"Red, do you know these people? I hope you're not lying," Brock turned to look at Red, who was trying to avoid eye contact.

"…"

"Just a bit familiar? Then tell them to stop."

Upon hearing that, Red walked towards the six players surrounding Steelix.

Although he knew that the players loved Pokémon, bothering someone else's Pokémon wasn't right.

He approached to stop them, but one of the players didn't seem happy with what he was doing.

"Get out of the way, NPC, can't you see I'm busy?" Zero2hero said.

"Is this the NPC who let Pikachu get kidnapped? Looks as weak as I thought," Bigchef said, eyeing the Pikachu.

...They really had no manners at all.

It seems like the system was partly right; they're very arrogant and don't respect anyone.

I recall the system mentioning that if a player did something inappropriate, you could punish them.

But how should I punish them...

Ah, right!

Red pulled his cap down, and his red eyes glowed. Suddenly, the players felt a chill down their spines.

"Huh?? What's this feeling?"

"It reminds me of the Nameless King in Dark Souls…"

"And for me, it brings to mind the storyline of Blacksoul… (ALICEEEE!!)"

Red took out his Pokéball, pointing it at Zero2hero.

[Trainer Red wants to battle!]

"He wants to battle me??"

This time, Lukas started sweating.

Even though he didn't respect NPCs either, Red was a special NPC with a friendship or intimacy gauge or something like that.

In a way, he's an important NPC! Plus, that Pikachu always gave him the horror for some reason...

"Alright then! Last time, I lost because the gym leader used Rock-type! But this time it's different!" Zero2hero fired up like the head of the Vongola family or something.

However, Flying-types are weak to Electric-types... and he didn't know Pikachu was Electric-type.

"Go, Pidgey!" He threw the Pokéball, summoning Pidgey.

Red also threw his Pokéball, summoning Pidgey.

Both Pokémon were the same.

Leaf and Misty walked over to Brock, watching the battle.

"I thought he just needed to stop them, not battle?" Brock said, confused.

"Who knows, maybe it's Red's way?" Misty replied.

Leaf was different, though. She had known Red since they were kids, and this wasn't something Red usually did!

But those guys were pretty rude, so Red's actions were justified...

"Pidgey, use—"

Before Zero2hero could finish his sentence, Red's Pidgey used Quick Attack, striking his Pidgey and knocking it out instantly!

"Huh?" Zero2hero looked at his Pidgey, stunned.

"...a rookie trainer, huh?" Brock said, looking at Zero2hero.

"Damn it?! The result is no different from that Geodude!!" Zero2hero complained, and a notification suddenly popped up.

[Zero2hero has run out of Pokémon to battle!

Zero2hero is forced to pay 2000 Pokédollars to Red.

Zero2hero has no money! Starting debt calculation... Zero2hero owes Red 2000 Pokédollars!]

"??????"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!! ALREADY IN DEBT?!!

Zero2hero stared at the debt amount, his eyes wide with panic, sweating profusely, and his body trembling.

Zero2hero fainted!

"OH NO, HE'S DEAD!!!" Billy panicked and ran over to pick up Zero2hero.

"What the heck is this?! Could this be a hidden boss?!"

"This hidden boss is a bit too powerful, isn't it?? Even that guy Brick didn't take our money!!" Birdup clutched his head in disbelief.

"Wait, how do you know he took his money?"

"Here," Birdup pulled out Zero2hero's ID card.

"...why do you have his ID card?"

"He asked me to hold onto it."

[Zero2hero

Occupation: Trainer

Money: -2000]

...

The players immediately kept their distance from Red and Steelix.

"We're sorry, we have mouths but no ears."

"We were really foolish, truly sorry for not listening to you."

"Please, next time, have some mercy and forgive us."

The players apologized, with some even kneeling in submission.

Unfortunately, Red wasn't so forgiving.

When dealing with a problem, you have to deal with it thoroughly, or else it will happen again!

Red turned his gaze to the next player, making that person burst into tears.

THIS GUY IS TOO CRUEL!!!

***

"NO!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!"

"AGHHHHHH"

"ẠEJWDWOFNWKICJWDH" (wtf)

Cries of anguish echoed around, and both Brock and Misty began to feel pity for the players.

…while Leaf was cheering enthusiastically.

Lukas, on the other hand, looked at the other players collapsing, his eyes on the verge of tears.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY MONEY!!!

The money he earned after defeating Brick was 1200 Pokédollars.

His current total was exactly 2000! He couldn't afford to lose it!!!

…There was only one way.

"Guys, I'm going to say the N-word."

"???"

"The heck?? Why would you say that in this situation??" The players looked at Lukas in confusion.

Lukas smiled.

"NIGERUNDAIYOOOO!!!"

That bastard used the Joestar technique! How cowardly!!

But Red had already anticipated this because when a trainer wants to battle you, you can't run away.

[Trainer Red wants to battle!]

[You cannot flee from a trainer battle!]

The notification popped up, and Lukas tried to run, but somehow his body kept getting pulled back.

"NO NO NO NO!!!"

His hand moved on its own, reaching into his pocket, grabbing a Pokéball, and throwing it.

Gible!

A theme started playing for some reason, making him even more terrified. The music sounded great, but looking at that Pikachu wasn't great at all!!!

Pikachu rushed forward and hit Gible square in the face with an Iron Tail.

Gible fainted!

"DU WILLST MICH VERARSCHEN!!!"
