"My dearest baby, it's been so long, I've missed you so much."

Seeing Lu An diligently working on that high-level ball, everyone in the Golden Dojo finally realized what was happening.

It turns out that the "darling baby" Lu An was referring to wasn't Sabrina at all, but rather a Pokémon that Sabrina was carrying around!

Instantly, all the onlookers' gazes—whether angry, shocked, or simply resentful—turned into a look of melancholy as they stared at Lu An.

What's going on? I thought Miss Naz had found someone she liked, but it turns out it was just a false alarm.

Lu An paid no attention to the expressions of the others as he was about to open the Poké Ball that Sabrina had given him.

That's his third Pokémon, besides Espeon and Umbreon.

It was also the first Pokémon to complete its mission and be brought back to Sabrina's side.

But at that moment, Sabrina gently grabbed Lu An by the collar and pulled him out of the dojo:

"Don't rush, come with me to Golden University."

Lu An was a little impatient: "What? I took the Poké Ball and I'm going to Hoenn to find Entei. This trip to Hoenn might just be the one I need it for."

Naza still clung to him: "It's just for a little while, it won't take up much of your time. I've already brought it back for you, so this request isn't too much to ask, is it?"

"Tch, you must have foreseen something again, and then you just won't tell me. You're being so mysterious. Can't you people with special abilities give me a break?"

Although he complained, he obediently followed Sabrina's lead and walked out of the dojo.

Seeing the familiar way the two interacted, the crowd, who had initially assumed there was no special relationship between them, couldn't help but start to have doubts again.

Has Miss Sabrina ever been this kind to anyone since she became the gym leader?

Before they could ponder further, Xiaozhu blocked their way: "What are you all looking at? Don't you have anything to do?"

After reprimanding everyone, Xiaozhu quickly followed Nazi and Lu An, her eyes burning with an unknown flame.

She no longer had time to deal with the matters within the dojo.

Her house is about to be robbed!

She had to go to Golden University with Miss Naz.

......

Naoko noticed that ever since her older brother, Neto, returned from challenging the Saffron Gym, he had been acting strangely.

He lost his appetite and spent his days either training or battling, or figuring out how to train and battle.

Sometimes, when he gets engrossed in talking to himself, he'll suddenly slam his hand on the table.

To demonstrate the extent of his madness, Naoko noticed that even though only a day or two had passed, hair had started growing on Ningren's bald head...

In short, she couldn't watch her brother continue like this. He hadn't even been to school once in the past few days!

So Naoko slapped her brother's bald head, feeling a faint stinging sensation on her hand:

"Dude, you're the president of the school's competitive club and a member of the school team. You've been back in Kanto for so many days and haven't even come back to school once. That's too much."

Ningren looked up blankly and scratched his head: "Really? I just finished challenging the Goldenrod Gym. I'm going to school tomorrow."

Naoko looked helpless: "The problem is that you challenged the Goldenrod Gym two days ago. No, you have to come to school with me today."

With that, Naoko pulled Ningren toward the school.

As they walked, Naoko reported on the club's recent activities and the upcoming selection process for the school team.

Speaking of this, Naoko recalled Lu An, who had left a deep impression on her during the club recruitment.

"Brother, to be honest, after thinking it over and over, I still think Lu An is a rare and promising talent."

"Although he keeps saying he has no interest in competitive matches, if he can be properly trained, he is definitely good enough to make the school team. The school team selection is in half a month, we can't miss this opportunity!"

Ning Ren was helpless:

"Sis, I've already said that the most important thing for a trainer is initiative. If he doesn't want to battle, why force him?"

"And to put it bluntly, this Lu An..."

Ning Ren stopped speaking halfway through his sentence, suddenly frowning.

Naoko turned her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Ning Ren paused for a long time: "I just feel like the name Lu An is very familiar. It's like I've heard it somewhere in the last few days."

Naoko was speechless.

"After your trip to the Saffron Gym, did your superpowers break your brain, or did they drive you insane?"

"The only person who would mention Lu An to you every day is me, the vice president of the gaming club, right, president?"

Ning thought for a long time without finding a result, then shook his head: "I don't want to think about it anymore. Maybe, as you said, my memory is just messed up."

As they spoke, the two arrived at Golden University. Ning Ren headed straight for the school team's training area, as he wanted to report to the team first.

Just as the two arrived at the training ground for the Pokémon battle team, he found all the team members gathered around the edge of the battle arena.

What's going on? Shouldn't they all be training at this time?

Neito and Naoko looked up and were surprised to see a strange yet familiar figure on one side of the school team's playing field.

......

A few minutes ago, Naz brought Lu An to Golden University by car and stopped directly at the location of the school team's training camp.

Vehicles are not allowed to drive through this area under normal circumstances.

But who is Naz? She doesn't care about any of that.

Moreover, both the school team's coach and the board members of Golden University were standing obediently at the training camp, waiting for Nazja's arrival under the strange gazes of the school team members.

"get off."

Why did you bring me here?

Nazi did not answer, but instead led Lu An to the university board of directors.

The director immediately pointed to the coach behind him and introduced him to Naz in a fawning manner:

"Miss Naza, this is our Golden University's match coach, Arima. In two months, he will lead Golden University to achieve great results in the 'Red and Green Cup'."

The director gave Arima a wink, and Arima immediately understood.

Before meeting Naz, the board member had already told him that Naz was coming to Golden University's varsity team as an honorary coach.

Although Arima is a top-tier coach hired by Golden University at great expense, he has Pokémon at the gym level.

However, it was only after reaching the Gym level that he realized there was a huge gap between trainers who also possessed Gym-level Pokémon.

His trump card, which he usually takes pride in, is nothing more than a Pokémon that Sabrina could casually throw out.

Therefore, Arima dared not show any arrogance when facing Naz, who was coming to be his honorary coach.

"Miss Sabrina, hello. My name is Arima. I've long admired your name, and seeing you today, you are indeed beautiful..."

However, before Arima could continue his flattery, Natsume ruthlessly interrupted him:

"Arima, right? You're the one who led these so-called school team members to the quarterfinals of the Red and Green Cup for three consecutive years?"
