Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Freshly returned from the treacherous New World of Monster Hunter, Oreki finds himself abruptly thrust into the Hoenn region, only to be ambushed and kidnapped. Staring at the unusually colored Sprigatito in the train carriage, memories of his past life flash before him—a harsh reality where this very Sprigatito fell to a ruthless Pokémon Hunter, dragging Oreki into a nightmare of secret bases, subjugation by Hunter J, and brutal brainwashing. The past is a bitter pill, but Oreki is back, and he intends to settle scores on his own terms. Faced with absurdity, he adopts a pragmatic approach: a cat is a cat, and if desperate times call for desperate measures, he will simply unleash his inner dragon. After all, why fear mere Pokémon Hunters when you are a seasoned Monster Hunter? Years later, the dreaded captive has risen to become a celebrated world champion, a renowned Pokémon professor, and a master chef. During a live interview, a reporter cautiously asks, "Mr. Oreki, your Pokémon aren't exactly... standard, are they?" Oreki merely smiles, gesturing casually to the towering partner behind him wielding glowing dual blades. "What do you mean? Equipping items and gear is completely standard and legitimate."
