"No… you know I like it. Hehe… how about giving me a pair of original flavors?" Ace leaned close to Serena's ear with a grin.
"Best if you include the underwear. The unwashed kind~"
"Ew…!"
Serena's face went bright red, and she instantly dove back into the tent.
She hadn't had time to wash them—now she had to hide them before Ace actually took them.
[Ding, Host made Pervert remarks to Serena, gaining pervert points ×100!]
Hearing the system notification, Ace's smile widened.
Free points for teasing girls? Even mosquitoes are still meat.
He gathered some firewood, then released Charmander to help start a fire for boiling water.
While the porridge cooked, he opened the system panel and began distributing points.
[Ding, consuming 20000 pervert points, Charmander's talent has been upgraded to Champion Level!]
[Ding, consuming 1000 pervert points, Charmander has learned new moves: Slash, Flamethrower, Dragon Breath, Fire Fang, Belly Drum!]
[Ding, consuming 5000 pervert points, other characteristics have been completed for Charmander…]
Charmander's entire body trembled with power. Even difficult moves felt suddenly natural to her.
"Char~!"
She hurried to Ace's feet, looking up to confirm.
"Perform well and you'll only get stronger~."
Ace rubbed her head affectionately.
Honestly, her maiden form was extremely sexy, and her juvenile form was unbearably cute. He wanted to reward Charmander with another shot.
"Char~"
Charmander licked his hand twice and smiled sweetly.
Coming from Charizard Valley, she worshipped strength. Even though her master had been playing quite a bit the last two days, she still had her own ambitions.
Now that she knew Ace could make her stronger, her recognition of him hit an all-time high.
[Ding, Charmander's intimacy has increased…]
"Huh?" Ace blinked, looking at Charmander, who was controlling the fire perfectly a short distance away.
His heart tightened a little.
He had an absolute longing for the Pokémon world.
Partly because there were so many female characters he liked…
But also because of the magical, pure Pokémon who were so sincere it hurt.
Once they recognize you, they give their diamond-like loyalty with no hesitation. Completely, unconditionally.
"Maybe… deep down, I can't really become some cold-hearted, ruthless Pervert," he muttered.
Ever since getting the system, he'd collected Nanami's and Ponyta's hearts, and even made the perfect housewife, Delia, twist her hips for him.
But honestly, this was far from enough.
With nearly 100,000 pervert points now, he could easily take the two girls in the tent.
But… his emotions stopped him.
He didn't want to do that.
He wanted to be a Pervert with feelings.
"It should be fine to open a pure-love harem with a Pervert system, right?" Ace scratched his nose.
Compared to pure physical pleasure, he sought something deeper—emotional connection.
"Hmph. Fake."
Not far away, Goh glared over, frowning.
He'd been taught a lesson yesterday and still felt sore all over, so he didn't dare act arrogant publicly.
After breakfast, Professor Oak clapped his hands.
"Children! Today you will face the most basic test of wilderness survival—food! After breakfast, no more food will be provided. You must gather it yourselves to meet your team's needs.
"Tonight, we will hold a cooking competition. Teams that gather ingredients and prepare a proper dish will receive extra points!"
Just like the first day, everyone received one bottle of water and one piece of bread.
After all, not every camper could gather dozens of tree fruits like Ace. Many were already starving.
Predictably, when Professor Oak finished speaking, the whining immediately exploded.
"Ahhh… I can't take this anymore! Why is this summer camp so hard? Who goes on a trip with no extra food!?"
"Yeah, even if you don't bring food, at least bring money! Why do we have to forage like cavemen!?"
"What year is it!? Why are we still doing wilderness survival…?"
A group of pampered kids begged to withdraw.
Professor Oak didn't force them to stay. He personally sent them off.
"A lot of people left all at once…" Chloe gnawed on a tree fruit, confused.
"Even if the camp is annoying, wilderness survival is an important skill," Serena explained, holding a recipe.
"That's right," Ace added.
"Getting lost, running out of food, being far from towns, losing signal—this stuff is normal for Trainers. Without survival skills, you really can die."
The Trainer profession was basically adventurer work.
Even in a utopian world like Pokémon, many trainers still died in accidents.
Not that Ace cared.
Right now, he was thinking about how to expand the menu.
Tree fruits and bread for two days straight? He was already sick of it.
"By the way, Ace, can you fish?" Serena spread open the recipe in front of him.
"There should be a ton in the lake. If we catch some, we can make a whole fish feast tonight~"
Ace blinked. "Huh? Sounds good… but I can't fish."
"I can try~" Serena said with a gentle smile.
"I've watched my mom do it at home."
"I'll help!" Chloe raised her hand.
"I help my mom cook too!"
"Alright, then I'll go catch some fish~."
Since Professor Oak provided cooking tools and seasonings, that wasn't a problem.
The two girls cheerfully went to collect firewood.
Other groups chose to gather bird eggs, tree fruits, or fish.
Ace took Charmander and Ponyta around the lake, stopping at a spot where the water looked deep.
"Ponyta, use Psychic to catch the fish!"
"Pony!"
Ponyta nodded, and purple psychic light radiated from her body.
Splash, splash…
One fish after another was lifted from the water by Psychic, floating in the air.
Ace smirked. "Looks like this is pretty easy—"
But before he could finish—
ROOOOAAAR!!
A thunderous roar erupted.
A massive dragon head burst from the water—four gleaming fangs, a bloody maw, and cold, murderous crimson eyes.
A gigantic water serpent covered in blue scales rose high, towering nearly seven meters tall.
[Gyarados lv31 (Advanced)]
"Tsk… looks like you think my fish are your rations."
Ace raised his middle finger at the towering Gyarados.
"But… who the hell do you think you are?"
