Because of the urgent mission, August didn’t have time to enjoy the desserts made by the Indeedee.
"Blue, we have an emergency."
Blue had already suspected something serious was happening the moment she heard August talking to Lance on the phone. Without hesitation, she stuffed the remaining half of her cake into her mouth and, cheeks puffed like a hamster, mumbled, "What kind of mission?"
"It’s about Silph Co."
Saying no more, August immediately led Blue outside a...

Hearing August’s words, Blue frowned in confusion. “Then what’s our plan?”
Since August already suspected that something was off with Saffron Gym but didn’t intend to bring reinforcements, did that mean the two of them were just going to walk up and knock on the door?
As it turned out, that was exactly what August had in mind.
“We’ll just go straight there,” he said casually.
He had a legitimate reason for visiting this time.
Sure, when it came to...

Releasing Gardevoir from its Poké Ball, August sat down on the sofa, turned on the television for background noise, and absentmindedly stroked Eevee, who was curled up watching a drama. Meanwhile, he stared at the system panel, lost in thought.
He had no particular interest in collecting hats, so [Ash’s Limited-Edition Hat Collection] was immediately ruled out.
Besides, if he really wanted those, he could just ask Lance to grab him a bunch anytime.

Would anyone else believe it? Brock certainly wouldn’t.
With the Pewter Gym situation settled, Brock let out a sigh of relief.
However, thinking about Misty’s situation, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "August, about the Cerulean Gym..."
It wasn’t that he wanted to plead on Cerulean Gym’s behalf—he knew very well that he wasn’t in a position to interfere with gym assessments.
He was just curious about what exactly was going on over there.

It’s time.
August made his judgment.
On the battlefield, Marshtomp had taken quite a bit of damage in its battle against Onix.
As its stamina dropped, its [Torrent] ability activated, sending a surge of water-type energy flowing through its body.
But Onix wasn’t letting up—it swung its massive tail in a wide arc, aiming to strike Marshtomp!
Marshtomp leaped into the air, dodging the attack.
Seizing the brief moment befor...

Watching the battle unfold, Gary found himself puzzled by Brock’s decision.
[Sandstorm] benefitted Rhyhorn, sure, but August’s Marshtomp was part Ground-type as well, meaning it wouldn’t take any damage from the storm at all.
Still, Brock was a Gym Leader. He wouldn’t make a move without a plan.
So…
Gary muttered to himself, "What’s Brock’s goal here?"
Ash, completely clueless, overheard him and asked, "Goal? What goal?"

"Graveler, use [Stomping Tantrum]!"
Graveler leaped into the air before slamming down forcefully, repeatedly stomping the ground and sending shockwaves rippling across the battlefield.
Marshtomp reacted swiftly, pushing forward against the tremors and launching a [Water Pulse] straight at Graveler.
Graveler had no intention of taking the attack head-on. Rolling swiftly to the side, it dodged, and Brock wasted no time issuing his next co...

"I'm obviously here for the Gym evaluation."
Hearing August confirm this, Brock felt even more touched.
"Honestly, August, you didn’t need to come all this way. The information you gave me earlier was already more than enough," Brock said.
August gave him a strange look. "What are you talking about? Of course I had to come… I’m the Gym Inspector for this evaluation!"
The sudden twist in the conversation nearly made everyone lose their balance.
"Huh?"

Strange? You were the one who orchestrated the Pokémon riot. What’s so strange about it?
Prevent attacks on passing Trainers? You’d be lucky not to attack those Trainers yourself.
Even so, August felt a bit relieved that Giovanni wouldn’t be accompanying him. It was too stressful being around Giovanni.
Of course, he put on a regretful expression. “Then I’ll leave it to you, Leader Giovanni. See you at the Viridian Gym.”
After saying this, he bid fare...

So this is the shiny Gardevoir I heard about…
Giovanni studied August and Gardevoir carefully.
His appearance at Mt. Moon and his encounter with August were, of course, no coincidence.
As a high-ranking member of the League Council, he had received the news about the Gym Leader evaluations as soon as it was announced.
That was also how he learned that August had been appointed as an examiner.
He still remembered this so-called “Demon” of a Ranger...

Oh, I know him all too well.
Staring at Giovanni in front of him, August suddenly felt like he had terrible luck when it came to Mt. Moon.
Last time he was here, he had somehow gotten dragged into a Team Rocket incident.
And now, on his return trip, things had escalated—he had run straight into the boss of Team Rocket himself.
Even though his guard was up, August maintained a calm facade, showing only a hint of surprise.

Blue stared in shock at the scene before her.
She had only gone to get some juice, and in that short time, Happiny had evolved?
And the only other person in the room was August, so…

Blue fell into deep thought.
She recalled everything that had happened since she met August—from the Celadon Game Corner to Lt. Surge at the Vermilion Gym.
And the countless poachers August had arrested during his time as a ranger…
It seemed like everything August did was for the Pokémon League.
His contributions alone had turned the League's previous helplessness against Team Rocket into a situation where they could strike back with force.

As the official referee of Cerulean Gym, she may have been on their payroll…
But she had to admit—the gap in strength between the three Gym Leaders and this examiner wasn’t just a little—it was an abyss.
"Is this really all you’ve got?"
August glanced at his Mudkip, which was just shy of evolving, and felt a tinge of disappointment. Cerulean Gym was even worse than expected.
The Cerulean Sisters had no way to refute his words.

Lily noticed something was off about August’s tone, but at this point, she had no choice but to go along with Daisy’s story.

The Gym staff were momentarily stunned by Blue’s words. Then, panic set in.
It wasn’t as if Cerulean Gym had never been through an assessment before.
However, their past approvals had only been secured through a combination of Misty’s personal strength, the Gym’s longstanding connections, and the immense influence it held in Cerulean City. All of these factors barely managed to keep the Gym afloat.
But… Misty had been dragged off on a journey!

Bill was starting to feel lightheaded.
It was obvious that Blue’s endless list of equipment requests had given him a serious headache.
Fortunately, August offered him additional research funding, allowing Bill to barely pull himself together.

"Thanks a lot for your help!" Bill said gratefully.
Although he had hired a moving company with Machoke and Machamp to assist him, everyone knew that Fighting-type Pokémon tended to be rather rough in their movements. Since he had a lot of delicate equipment, he had to keep a close eye on them at all times to prevent any damage.
It was an exhausting and nerve-wracking task.
However, with August’s Gardevoir lending a hand, he had nothing to worry about at all.

On the second-floor hallway, Shiina Hiyori clutched her books in her arms, curiously observing the door before her. Unlike the other dorms, this one had no room number.

Uesugi replied with a hint of regret.
There weren’t any spare rooms available on the fourth floor where he lived, so every time he wanted to use this one, he had to take the extra trouble of coming down here.

Just as Kushida Kikyo was lost in the fantasy of Horikita Suzune’s humiliating defeat, Uesugi’s voice rudely interrupted her moment.
"Wake up, Miss Accomplice. I have to remind you—according to your plan, she’s supposed to drop out and return home this semester. With her current level of fondness for me, you probably won’t get to see that expression."

On the other hand, the suffocating feeling of the cramped space made him breathe harder, allowing the enticing fragrance to flood his nose. When he opened his eyes, black, white, and red intertwined in a mesmerizing dance before him…
