"Ten billion." Seth Kenshin shook his head slightly.
If it had been a few years earlier, he might have had so savings left.
But in recent years, he had spent everything seeking doctors to cure Sabrina.
On top of that, compensating the Trainers he rescued left him penniless.
He'd even gone to work on construction sites—his telekinesis allowed him to do the work of ten n.
"Hey, hey, Natsu, that's going too far." Misty looked at him.
"Right, Natsu, how much does one of those things cost? Could you sell one for cheaper?" Ash felt sorry for the man.
He didn't bla Natsu—he just wanted to buy one himself and give it to the old man.
He was sure Natsu wouldn't overcharge him.
"Hmm, production cost is about five hundred thousand." Natsu said casually, not treating Seth Kenshin like an outsider.
"…"
He really could sell anything.
"Natsu, then I'll buy one and—" Before Ash could finish, Natsu handed the spotlight straight to Seth Kenshin.
"It's yours. But I want the telekinesis training thod—complete with personal insights."
Seth froze for a mont, then accepted the flashlight.
After a pause, he pulled a thick notebook from his coat.
"This contains the telekinesis training thod, along with my own notes. I hope it helps you control yourself."
With those words, Seth picked up the powerful spotlight, then vanished with Teleport.
"Whoa! A human can use Teleport just like a Pokémon!" Misty was stunned, her view of telekinesis deepening.
"But to reach the level of Mr. Seth or Sabrina… there can't be many in the world." Brock said sincerely.
"Wait, Natsu—you already had access to telekinesis training, didn't you? Why ask him for it again?" Giselle asked curiously.
"I ca to Saffron a long ti ago. The training thods sold publicly here are all watered down." Natsu explained.
He figured Seth didn't want another Sabrina appearing.
Telekinesis training could be roughly divided into three parts—Outer Realm, Inner Realm, and Core Realm.
The Outer Realm was the most obvious—applications like moving objects. That's the common version.
The Inner Realm involved invisible applications, like inducing illusions or communicating with Pokémon telepathically.
The Core Realm ant creating a world of one's own mind. But if soone wasn't ntally mature, entering too early risked being trapped in it, unable to escape.
Sabrina had stumbled in the Core Realm—that was her problem.
Natsu flipped through the notebook, confirming it was a complete training guide, then finally began reading carefully from the beginning.
He had just finished the Outer Realm's beginner section when a commotion erupted at Saffron Gym's doors.
*Bang!* The doors swung open, and Seth Kenshin was thrown out.
Along with him flew countless shattered pieces of flashlights.
"Mr. Seth, are you okay?" Ash and Brock rushed forward, poking him with a stick.
"Why? Why won't Sabrina react?!" Seth suddenly sat up stiffly, crying toward the sky.
"Old man, not reacting is normal. When it cos to making people angry, Natsu is in a league of his own." Misty shook her head.
Her words snapped Seth back to his senses. He scrambled to Natsu, dropped to his knees with a heavy thud.
"Mr. Natsu, please—I beg you—make Sabrina angry!"
???
An old father kneeling in the street, begging a passerby to upset his daughter.
Even the tabloids couldn't make this up.
"It's like this," Seth hurried to explain, seeing Natsu's confusion:
"Sabrina's condition is unusual. I don't know what kind of Core Realm she's stepped into."
"The only way to gauge it is through her emotional reactions. Only then can I find a way to guide her back out!"
"So I beg you!" Seth bowed deeply.
"You an I'm supposed to be her trigger point? I don't think so." Natsu shook his head.
Sabrina's anger had begun when he snatched away her doll.
But from the original storyline, her emotional trigger should've been Pokémon.
Still, maybe it didn't conflict—the doll had a strange aura, almost like a Pokémon.
Natsu thought it over, deciding to try resolving things the sa way as in the original events.
"Head east from here, there's a Pokémon Tower. Inside, you'll find a Haunter—go and catch it." Natsu pointed Seth Kenshin toward a solution.
"Ghost-type Pokémon…" Seth frowned.
Years ago, he had already tried the thod of using Pokémon to heal, hoping to pull Sabrina out of the Core Realm.
Eevee, Pikachu, Growlithe—he had given her all kinds of cute Pokémon, but none had worked.
Ghost-types, however, he had never tried.
"But Ghost Pokémon… how could they possibly be connected to Sabrina's Core Realm?"
His voice was heavy with doubt.
In his view, Sabrina had entered the Core Realm for two reasons: first, her extraordinary talent had let her reach that realm at an early age; second, her lonely childhood with little companionship.
Her Core Realm should have been filled with cute, comforting Pokémon companions. How could a frightening Ghost Pokémon beco her emotional trigger?
No matter how he thought about it, it didn't make sense.
"Think of it as a last resort. You've failed so many tis already—one more won't hurt."
Natsu patted Seth on the shoulder.
He wasn't joking—this was the most likely thod to succeed.
After all, Ash and his friends had already proven it in the original events.
And with an S-rank mission hanging over him, Natsu wanted Sabrina to recover quickly—maybe then the task would resolve itself.
"Besides, wasn't becoming a Gym Leader Sabrina's own choice?"
Natsu coaxed gently. Seth blinked, then slowly nodded.
"That proves Psychic-type Pokémon an a lot to her. And since Ghost-types are natural rivals to Psychics, it's reasonable they could be connected."
Seth nodded again, dazed.
True enough. Aside from the doll, Sabrina also had a Kadabra she'd raised since childhood—no, by now it was already an Alakazam.
"Mr. Seth, don't overthink it. If you want to try, then try!" Ash encouraged him from behind.
"Ash, go with him." Natsu patted Ash's head.
"Sure thing!" Ash agreed instantly.
"I'm going too!" Misty raised her hand.
"It's a two-day round trip—I'll handle the cooking!" Brock lifted a frying pan.
"You kids…" Seth paused, then broke into a smile.
"Natsu, when do we set out?" Ash asked excitedly.
"? I'm not going." Natsu waved his hand, saying he would stay at the Pokémon Center.
Behind him, Giselle, who had been quietly packing her things, froze in place.
