"I'm a Trainer—a Trainer who travels, adventures, and prepares to compete in the Alliance to become the champion."
Satoshi said this confidently to Riolu, whose eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"What does that have to do with the proposal you just made... Wait, are you saying—"
Riolu paused, its mind racing. "Satoshi, are you suggesting I become your Pokémon? That you'll help me grow stronger and find that man to save my family?"
Riolu's quick reaction impressed Satoshi. "Should've known. Being a Wave Pokémon means you're sharper than most."
Satoshi smirked, nodding. "Exactly. If you join me, I'll train you to become stronger. Together, we'll find that man and defeat him. Then, we'll free your family."
Satoshi's plan was clear: recruit Riolu and tackle the mystery surrounding the Machop family together. After all, once Riolu became part of his team, helping it would be a natural extension of their bond.
Riolu seemed tempted but hesitated. It glanced at Satoshi's Pokémon—Charmeleon, Frogadier, and Grovyle—before shaking its head.
"Is there a problem?" Satoshi frowned, curious about the hesitation.
"Well, that green one is about my level, but the orange and blue ones are only a little stronger. If your team can barely match Machoke, how do you expect to take on Machamp or that strong man who defeated them all in a single move?"
"Although I appreciate your offer, Satoshi, I don't think you're strong enough."
The implication was clear: Riolu doubted Satoshi's ability.
Satoshi's response?
"Pfft... Hahaha! I've been rejected by a Pokémon!"
Riolu tilted its head, confused by Satoshi's laughter. It hadn't expected such a reaction. Charmeleon, Frogadier, and Grovyle were equally baffled. They couldn't understand why their Trainer was laughing so much after being turned down.
Satoshi finally calmed down, wiping a tear from his eye. "You think I'm too weak to help you, right?"
Riolu nodded cautiously.
"Alright, let me ask you something: how long did it take you to reach your current strength?"
"Around 180 days... Why?"
"Half a year of natural growth to reach level 20? Not bad," Satoshi admitted. "But do you know how long it took my Pokémon?"
Riolu shook its head.
"Charmeleon, Frogadier, Grovyle," Satoshi called to his Pokémon, "Riolu doubts my ability to make it stronger. Tell it how long it took you to reach your current level."
Charmeleon growled angrily, Frogadier shot a disdainful look, and Grovyle huffed as if to say, "You're wasting my training time."
One by one, the three Pokémon explained how they had met Satoshi just a day or two ago and had already reached their current levels under his guidance.
Riolu's jaw dropped.
Charmeleon and Frogadier became this strong in a single day? And Grovyle, who joined only last night, is already as strong as me?
Not only that, but Satoshi's training had taught them a wide variety of skills and improved their potential. This level of growth was unheard of.
"Still think I'm not qualified to train you?" Satoshi asked, smirking.
Riolu, stunned by the revelations, admitted, "I... apologize for doubting you. You do have the ability to make me stronger."
Satoshi smiled, knowing he had won half the battle.
"But," Riolu added, "if I'm going to join you, you'll need to prove your strength in battle. Defeat me, and I'll follow you."
Satoshi blinked. "What happened to my kingly aura?!"
