In Naruto, the System Asks Me to Entrust Pokémon

"Boss, we'll head out now."

After successfully capturing Tentacool, Tenten and the others chatted with Ryo for a while before bidding him farewell.

Ryo smiled and nodded. "Alright, take care. Be safe, and come again sometime!"

He watched as they walked away, then happily returned to the cabin.

"Rich girl... truly a rich girl."

Before leaving, Tenten had purchased several bags of energy cubes from him.

It wasn't just a purchase—it was practically restocking.

She ordered five bags of basic-grade and five bags of intermediate-grade cubes.

And it wasn't just Tenten. The others also bought some, though not as much, but it was still a decent income for Ryo.

『Congratulations on entrusting a Pokémon to a storyline character. Reward: 1000 points, Bronze Exclusive Chest ×1.』

...

Listening to the system's notification, Ryo's mood brightened even further.

"Host, would you like to open and combine the treasure chests?"

"No, not for now. Let's hold onto it."

The last time he opened a silver chest, the rewards were so-so. It was better to save the chests for higher-level ones later.

Without thinking further, he pocketed the money and walked toward the backyard.

"Roooaaar~"

As soon as Ryo entered the backyard, Dragonite flew out from the forest.

"Alright, alright, stop fussing."

He patted Dragonite, who was hugging him enthusiastically, and glanced around. "Where's Sun Eevee? Where did it go?"

"Roooaaar~"

Dragonite pointed toward the woods.

Ryo frowned. "Hunting again? Didn't we clear out all the wild beasts in this mountain already? Why is it still going?"

During the time when there weren't many customers, Ryo decided to remodel the back mountain and, due to financial constraints, had Dragonite and Sun Eevee hunt and clear the wild beasts from the mountain daily.

In just a week, they had cleared all the beasts on the mountain—there weren't any left.

But Sun Eevee was still going out hunting?

"Roooaaar~"

Dragonite shook its head and pointed again.

"You went to the neighboring mountain?"

Dragonite nodded.

Ryo sighed. "Can hunting be addictive? That doesn't sound right."

At the beginning of their training, Sun Eevee had been strongly opposed to participating in these tasks.

Why would it suddenly become addicted to hunting?

"Roooaaar~"

Dragonite gave him a meaningful look, a bit of grievance in its eyes.

Ryo coughed awkwardly. "Okay, okay, my bad. Sun Eevee did look ridiculous doing push-ups."

He remembered that when Dragonite was training with Sun Eevee, he hadn't paid much attention. But one time, he caught them doing push-ups together and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The sight was truly comical.

Ever since then, Sun Eevee had refused to train with Dragonite. Instead, it went to the neighboring mountain to hunt wild beasts, even though the mountain they had cleared was already empty.

Dragonite remained silent, just staring at him.

Ryo scratched his head and relented. "Fine, my fault. I shouldn't have laughed at it. I'll apologize when it comes back."

Seriously, a Pokémon with such thin skin—what a hassle.

"Roooaaar~"

Dragonite nodded, a smile finally appearing on its face.

"Eevee~"

Just then, Sun Eevee emerged from the forest, floating a giant wild boar beside it.

"You're back, Sun Eevee?"

Ryo greeted it, but his smile quickly froze. "Another wild boar? Is Konoha secretly raising wild boars?"

Most of the beasts Sun Eevee had brought back in the past few days were wild boars.

There were so many, they couldn't even finish eating them. Even after selling some in Konoha, there were still plenty left.

"Eevee?"

Sun Eevee blinked, its expression turning confused and aggrieved.

What's that supposed to mean? I brought this back, and now you're complaining?

"Alright, alright, you've worked hard."

Noticing Sun Eevee's expression, Ryo used his psychic power to place the wild boar on the ground and patted its head. "But from now on, stop going hunting. Just train with Dragonite."

Sun Eevee widened its eyes and shook its head vigorously.

"Shaking your head won't change anything. You need to train. Do you really want to rely on mysterious fruits to grow stronger forever?"

Ryo's expression turned serious.

He could guess what Sun Eevee was thinking.

It had noticed that Ryo had plenty of mysterious fruits and even a mysterious fruit tree. It figured that even without training, it could still grow stronger just by eating the fruits.

"Eevee..."

Hearing his words, Sun Eevee lowered its head in silence.

Ryo wasn't wrong. The push-ups were somewhat useful, but the mysterious fruits had contributed far more to its strength.

A single mysterious fruit could match several days of training.

Ryo patted its head again. "I understand. But the mysterious fruits can only help you grow to level 60. After that, you'll have to rely on training. Don't worry, no more push-ups. We'll do something else."

"Eevee?"

Sun Eevee tilted its head, curious.

Ryo nearly laughed. He gave it a light tap. "What? Do you think I'd lie to you?"

Sun Eevee shook its head and smiled.

Dragonite, watching from the side, also grinned.

It had been pushing Sun Eevee to train for this very reason—it didn't want it to become too dependent on the mysterious fruits.

The fruits were helpful, but relying on them too much would be dangerous in the long run.

"Alright, go gather the other Pokémon. I'll prepare lunch for you all."

It was already noon, and it was time for the Pokémon to eat.

Dragonite and Sun Eevee nodded and each went in a different direction to call the other Pokémon.

The two of them knew the mountain well and could locate each Pokémon with ease.

Ryo watched them leave, shook his head with a chuckle, and walked back to the cabin.

He grabbed the pre-prepared Pokémon food.

"Low-grade, high-grade, and Dragonite's special-grade… that should be enough."

Using his psychic power, Ryo made the energy cubes float and muttered to himself as he sorted them.

After gathering everything, he headed back to the backyard.
