Steven and Lance

On top of the airplane, Summer was almost dumbfounded as she watched Aisha write down a dense list of ways to use Gengar's Dirty Set on top of a small notebook.

"This..."

Earlier, when they were chatting at the café, Aisha had indeed listed the variation-type moves that Gengar could use.

However, at that time, Summer had merely assumed that, at best, Aisha would just construct some fighting styles around common class moves like Toxic, Will-O-Wisp, and so on.

As it turned out...

This guy actually developed some breathtaking tactics such as "Haze+Destiny Bond/Perish Song" and "Substitute+Protect+Toxic".

Listening to Aisha holding a pen and writing on the top of a small notebook while explaining to herself in detail how to use these tactics, Summer's eyes gradually looked towards this beautiful young man with a touch of bizarre color.

Too dirty...

If these tactics were really utilized within a battle, a Pokémon battle might evolve into a trainer's brawl.

However...

Even if it was a brawl, there probably wasn't much that could beat this guy.

"Tsk."

Summer's evaluation of Aisha came to another level.

This kid, was it hard to believe that he had developed a technique that was good enough to physically fight a Pokémon in order to prevent himself from being beaten up by his opponents in the future due to dirty sets?

"Haze + Destiny Bond or Perish Song can stabilize a one-for-one, Substitute + Protect+ Toxic can forcefully consume until at least one of the opponent's Pokémon is defeated."

Aisha naturally didn't know what Summer was thinking.

He put away his pen and said, "Taunt can block the enemy's tactics of using change-type moves."

"Toxic, Will-O-Wisp, and Hypnosis can be used as means of negative buffs to add a dash of fun to the matchup."

Saying the intimidating words with a flat face, Aisha also added on.

"If Elite Summer is willing, it would be a good idea to wait for the opponent's Pokémon to be filled with abnormal BUFFs and add a misfortune to finish it off."

"Good..."

Reality didn't have a four move limit anyway.

If it was Aisha's wish, he was also perfectly capable of breeding a Gengar that was dirty to the core.

"These tactics aren't really that difficult to maneuver, and Gengar of the Elite Summer must be proficient in these change-type moves as well."

Aisha looked towards Summer's Gengar.

"Jiejiejie~"

This little black fatty let out the laughter of a Soul Temple Elder while making an "OK" gesture towards Aisha.

Aisha also revealed a smile.

The two dirty players have reached a perfect consensus.

"There is no need to change the base of Gengar's firepower output as a quick attacker, just intersperse the use of some variation-type moves while outputting, and the battle will definitely be much easier."

"Understand."

After calming down for a while, Summer had almost figured it out.

These dirty sets, even if she was unwilling to use them herself, Aisha would definitely produce similar videos to release for viewers to learn in the future.

Since this was the case, one might as well learn in advance and become a leader in dirty sets.

"Hiss... Not bad."

Imagining the image of himself using Aisha's Dirty Routine to disgust some of his nemeses to death, Summer actually felt a little bit of exhilaration.

"Learned!"

With a slap on the table, Summer took away Aisha's little book.

This Dayan Elite decisively gave up her conscience.

"Dirty sets are a part of Pokémon, don't play if you don't feel good."

"Indeed."

"No you can also have Gengar use Explosion, that one is more powerful and highlights a surprise."

"That one or forget it..."

Summer thought a little and added, saying, "Forget it for now."

"Jie?"

Gengar beside her suddenly shivered.

Why did it feel a bit off?

Summer's long black hair was clearly more than just a pose, this woman's heart was also black.

After being inspired by Aisha, Summer's understanding of dirty sets was a thousand miles a day, quickly penetrating the few tactics given by the teenager.

However, Summer looked at Gengar with a much stranger look behind her.

"Jie..."

As soon as Gengar thought about Aisha's previous words, it was scared into a cold sweat.

It felt like it wasn't that far away from becoming a self-destructive infantry.

Time just quietly passed under Gengar's fearfulness...

In the afternoon, the special airplane landed at the airport of Rustboro City.

"Elite Summer, we've arrived."

The League's staff came next to Summer and Aisha and said, "Champion Steven and Champion Lance have been waiting at the airport for a long time."

"Good."

Summer expressed her understanding.

"Let's go!"

"Uh-huh."

The duo didn't talk much, and directly walked off the special airplane.

As expected, within the airport without a single traveler, a handsome man wearing an exquisite suit and a red-haired man wearing a cloak were standing outside the runway of the plane.

Seeing Summer and Aisha step off the plane, they greeted them.

"Elite Summer, long time no see."

The courteous Steven was the first to express his gratitude for Summer's willingness to come to the aid of Hoenn at this juncture.

"On behalf of the Hoenn League only, I would like to thank you and this gentleman for your help."

"It's nothing, a show of hands."

Summer, who was an otaku girl, was a bit less accustomed to all this official talk and waved her hand in response to Steven's words.

Steven also couldn't help but smile bitterly at his words.

He also didn't really like all this official talk.

However, people had risked so much to come to Hoenn, and it was always not good for him to say nothing.

"You must be the Aisha that Red and Blue have been chanting about." Lance also greeted Aisha and said, "I've heard quite a bit about your great name, and you really are a young talent."

"If it wasn't for the fact that the situation is really urgent right now, I would definitely invite you to spar."

Suddenly, Lance's words changed, revealing his nature as a sparring maniac.

"Next time for sure, next time for sure."

"Good, it's a deal!"

Lance apparently didn't hear Aisha's perfunctory and awkwardness, and gently shook his hand, revealing a smile that uniquely belonged to a trainer.

"We'll definitely have to spar in the future!"

Aisha sweated.

It really wasn't a lie when people said that the Kanto region was a poor mountain that produced unruly people.

A pair of eyes directly started sparring... It's too scary.

"This is not the place to talk, please join me with the two of you at Devon."

Luckily it was the highly emotional Steven who helped Aisha out.

Aisha instantly threw a grateful look towards Steven.

Steven smiled and nodded his head, a touch of sympathetic sentiment revealed within his silver-gray eyes - apparently, this former champion of the Hoenn had been similarly pestered by Lance for some time as well.

Kanto people, horrible as they were.

Afterward, the four of them hitched a ride in Steven's car and drove in the direction of the Devon Co...
