Jasmine, Business is Coming to Your Door

Although it was said that Brock fell under Aisha's special mapo tofu.

However, Brock was undoubtedly very favorable towards Aisha.

Brock had a bit of experience and understanding of Pokémon cultivation.

After all, simply by virtue of the Pewter Gym's not-so-generous subsidies, he could still cultivate a Gym's rock-type Pokémon, ensuring that the level of his Pokémon battles and the strength of the Pokémon themselves could support the operation of a large-scale Gym, and that the strength of his operation stood at the top of the Gym level trainers, which was already enough to prove the cultivation level of this Pewter Gym's Gym Leader.

Having seen Brock's family environment, Aisha was also a bit mentally drained internally.

Although it was said that he now had quite a bit of money and resources left in his hand, and was currently able to support the Pokémon cultivation and daily life travel expenses.

However, along with Azurill evolving into Marilland Charmander evolving into Charmeleon, the resources they needed had almost doubled.

In particular, the resources that Caterpie was using now had completely turned into secret treasures and Pokéblocks with dragon and flying type.

His own wallet, although quite thick, however, was now rapidly drying up.

If Marill evolved into Azumarill, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and Caterpie's path of evolution was steadily progressing, it would be completely insufficient to simply have only the funds and resources given by the Hoenn League.

That's why Aisha also needed to open up new paths to make money...

"Aisha-kun is short of money?"

Hearing Aisha's distress during the casual conversation, Brock also looked at him with a bit of surprise and said, "I thought Aisha-kun should belong to the type that doesn't lack money."

Instantly, a touch of empathy colored within the eyes of Brock as he looked towards Aisha.

He was also poor.

"Hey."

Aisha waved his hand.

"Too poor, the profession of a Pokémon Trainer burns too much money."

"Well, who says it isn't... Hah."

Brock was clearly beyond agreeable to Aisha's words.

"Too envious, all the other Gym Leaders can have some side jobs on the side, and the income from the Gym is only a little more, it's too hard on my side."

Brock talked about the matter of Gym Leaders moonlighting with side jobs and said, "Everyone likes to say that the trainers of the eight major Gyms in the Kanto region are very powerful, mainly because the trainers who are Gym owners in other regions don't do any work, but people don't know that even the eight major Gyms in the Kanto region do side jobs frequently."

"Hmm."

Aisha thought deeply.

Most of these Gym Leaders have their own side businesses.

Misty's Cerulean Gym put on water ballet performances all day long, with packed house after packed house, making money as easy as running water.

Erika's Celadon Gym monopolizes the sale and production of perfumes and related products in the Kanto region.

Janine is backed by her father, who is one of Johto's Elite Four.

Blaine was the awesome researcher, and even with his suspected origins from Team Rocket, the Pokémon League was polite to him.

"The Pewter city is clearly rich in resources of minerals and stones, and you have just as much say in the city as the Gym Leader of the Pewter Gym, so why haven't you tried to explore some industries over here?" Aisha inquired with a bit of curiosity about Brock's behavior of turning a blind eye to a field of gold, and after that, added a sentence, saying, "In fact, I don't think there's a need for you to pay attention to them with high intensity, those children who have been exposed to your work day in and day out in the Pewter Gym have already developed a maturity that normal children don't have, and even the basis of the trainer has surpassed most people of the same age. most of their peers."

Aisha knew that Brock's life was so difficult because of his siblings.

The question was, was there a possibility that these children shouldn't be a burden?

They could just as easily be a helping hand that supported Brock.

"Hmm?"

Brock looked over at Aisha and didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for what he was going to say.

"Well..."

Aisha pondered for a while, and said, "I think you can try to train some successors, your siblings are completely trustworthy people, and if they become trainers of the Pewter Gym, all aspects of them can share the pressure on you, and you can spare quite a bit of time."

"When we were sparring, I also noticed that those kids have aspirations for trainers."

Aisha still remembered that within the TV anime of Pokémon, after Brock followed Ash out on a trip, his little brother, Forrest, became the acting trainer of the Pewter Gym.

That kid even held a powerful Pokémon like Rhyperior.

The trainer's talent is very strong.

"If these good seedlings become talented, the Pewter Gym's dilemma can definitely be alleviated."

"I have that thought."

Brock sighed after a moment of silence.

"I just feel that the profession of a trainer is too dangerous to risk these children."

"Ah..."

Saying that, Aisha also understood.

Brock wasn't stupid.

He just loved these children that he had taken care of since childhood too much.

Because he had learned how trainers cry, he said that he didn't want these children to go through all that suffering, so he said that even if he had to carry all the burdens about life by himself, he wouldn't hesitate to do so.

"You might as well ask their opinion."

Aisha suggested so.

"Perhaps it's time for the child to grow up."

Aisha knew that the rock-solid man, though resilient, was nonetheless more or less rigid in his thinking and needed some outside enlightenment.

Aisha was happy to be the one to enlighten Brock.

"..."

Brock was silent.

Aisha didn't say anything either, waiting quietly for him.

"...Alright."

After a long time, Brock clenched his fist and responded to Aisha's words.

"Thanks a lot, Aisha!"

The absence of honorifics showed that Brock had completely recognized Aisha as his friend.

"Cheer up, Brock."

Aisha smiled, and in her heart, she felt happy at the change in Brock.

"...By the way, you said that you are preparing to make money?"

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Brock inquired Aisha, saying, "You should be proficient in the creation of Pokéblocks?"

"Pretty much, why?"

Aisha was a bit puzzled.

Brock, on the other hand, scratched his own head and said, "I'm a bit interested in breeding, and I learned a bit about it before."

"Mainly because I know some awesome trainers who are looking around for makers of high-quality Pokéblocks, ready to customize exclusive Pokéblocks for their Pokémon?"

"Oh?"

Aisha's eyes lit up.

The number of high-level trainers overwhelmingly outnumbered the number of high-level breeders.

The main reason was that compared to Breeders who stayed behind the scenes for a long time during their working life, it was true that Trainers who were able to shine on the stage and had high popularity were more appealing to today's young people who were nervous about choosing them.

Nowadays, Breeders have a bit of a shortage of momentum...

The problem is that Pokéblocks are essential nutrients for the Pokémon of great trainers.

So much so that high level breeders must also have a bite to eat no matter where they go.

"You're saying I'm guarding a field of gold with no action, aren't you the same?"

Seeing Aisha's expression, Brock also teased him, saying, "He himself is clearly a senior high level breeder, and even the most sought after Pokéblock maker, as a result, he is now looking for me to complain that he doesn't have much of a doorway to make money."

"It's not..."

Aisha had the heart to explain.

"The main reason is that I have no connections and I don't know any powerful trainers who need customized Pokéblocks. The powerful trainers I know don't need to ask me to customize Pokéblocks. It's too embarrassing."

"Oh?"

Brock was a bit interested.

"Who do you know?"

"Lance, Steven Stone, and Wallace."

"...Indeed."

How did three champions need to ask Aisha to customize Pokéblocks for themselves?

The resources used for Aisha's shiny Beldum were still a gift from Steven for nothing.

"It's nothing."

Brock patted Aisha's shoulder and said, "I happen to have a client on my side that fits the target, this little guy has no way to find a suitable high level breeder on her own because of a series of reasons due to social phobia, so that means I'm helping out, and now I can turn in a favor if I have you."

"Oh?"

Aisha was instantly overjoyed.

"Yes!"

The person who could ask Brock to help find a high level Breeder should more or less be a Gym level trainer, and not surprisingly should be rich.

"We'll split the money after it's done..."

"No need." Brock interrupted Aisha and voiced his thoughts, saying, "Those kids, I also know that quite a few of them might be willing to choose to become trainers, and I can teach them a few things as a Gym Leader, but the deeper, more esoteric theories, it is indeed more appropriate for Aisha-kun to teach as a teacher."

"No problem."

Aisha agreed to Brock's words.

Teaching some theories was just that, nothing much.

Anyway, he himself wasn't going to be shy about it.

"Your next target is the Cerulean Gym?"

Brock gloated a bit about the Cerulean Gym and said, "Misty has been preparing for your challenge for some time now, and she seems to be very much looking forward to your Gym Challenge, so I wonder how Instructor Ai is going to deal with this famous savage perch of Cerulean City?"

"Misty..."

Aisha recited the name of the Cerulean Gym Leader, and suddenly, realized something was wrong.

"How does Misty know about my trip?"

"You don't know?" Misty was a bit surprised and said, "Blue informed us earlier that Instructor Ai was preparing to challenge and broadcast live the Gym Challenge of the eight major Gyms in the Kanto region."

"Huh?"

A question mark rose above Aisha's head.

Blue, you plot against me!

"Hah..."

However, it didn't matter.

Aisha revealed a frank smile and said, "Not bad, it just so happens that my ace Pokémon has improved quite a bit in the meantime."

"In that case, I'll look forward to the surprise Misty has prepared for me."

If Misty was displeased that she had once operated a Butterfree in an online match and slept through one of her teams.

Then, it would be good to challenge the Cerulean Gym with Caterpie itself this time.

...

Saying goodbye to Brock, Aisha and his Pokémon immediately ran outside of Pewter City.

Mainly because he was afraid of the pestering of that Ash guy.

Rotom phone also stated that Pewter City didn't have any excellent places to visit, and after completing the Pewter Gym's Gym Challenge and obtaining the Boulder Badge, there was no need to continue wasting time in this city.

So that being said Aisha immediately ran out of Pewter City and entered Route 3.

"Ash seems to be preparing to continue challenging the Pewter Gym, however, the current one shouldn't have any Pokémon in his hand that can securely defeat Brock." Leading his Pokémon to walk on Route 3. After confirming that Ash could no longer catch up with him, Aisha calculated the strength of this guy and said, "According to Ashi's progress in the TV animation, he should only have Pikachu, Pidgeotto, and Metapod now... With a Geodude of one magnitude, Ash's Pokémon can be destroyed by all three."

Not bad for a reverse attribute master.

When I thought about it, I had faced this dilemma myself when I played Pokémon: Yellow in my previous life.

Within the Red, Green, and Blue versions, the new trainer whose initial Pokémon is Charmander faced the same hellish difficulty.

"Forget it, lucky people have their own destiny, and that kid is also a fool, and he has stupid blessings."

Aisha shook his head, driving away the things within his mind that had to do with Ash.

Above this world, it was clear that Brock and Misty were no longer likely to follow Ash in his continued adventures.

Then, his configuration was probably close to that version of the 20th Anniversary Theater Edition.

Good Thing.

The twentieth anniversary theater version of Ash was not much stronger than the TV anime Indigo Plateau Conference Ash.

"Ah..."

Having stood under the blue sky, Aisha also looked out at the mountains in the distance.

Route 3 was still a flat land for the time being, there were no forests or lakes, at most there were some small rivers, so there were no large-scale, high-level wild Pokémon swarming places, so Aisha and his Pokémon naturally didn't need to waste time on field exercises in this place.

On the contrary, it was precisely because there were no high level wild Pokémon over here that quite a few new trainers wandered over this road.

They were battling each other on top of Route 3.

Aisha took a look and was happy.

The experience pack was here.

Anyway, Eevee couldn't play any high level sparring matches.

Might as well take these newbie trainers' Pokémon and brush up some experience before Mt. Moon.

"Eevee, the chance to show off your skills has finally arrived!"

Aisha picked up Eevee.

"Boo~ee~"

Eevee's little paw kept wiggling above mid-air, trying to scratch Aisha's clothes.

"Huh?"

Aisha always felt that Eevee's sight was a bit strange.

Didn't much care though.

What kind of bad intentions can a Pokémon have?

"Uh..."

Rotom phone was in the back of the room, wanting to say something.

It didn't know if it should tell Aisha that this little guy Eevee was actually not as honest as it appeared to be...

"Alright, Eevee's special training program, begin!"

Aisha put down Eevee.

One person and one pet searched for the new trainer on top of Route 3.

Of course, Aisha retrieved Caterpie and Charmeleon before heading out - mainly because the two of them were overdeveloped and had a menacing look, which kind of hindered Aisha's search for the new trainer.

"Little brother, how about we spar?"

Not long after, a boy dressed as a bug catcher stopped Aisha's path.

"Good."

Aisha smiled, and Eevee took the initiative to stand in front of him.

Then the Bug Catcher boy's Beedrill was killed by Eevee's Shadow Ball in seconds.

Bug Catcher:"..."

"Not bad."

Aisha complimented Eevee flatly.

Although Eevee is poor in moves, it has learned a lot about its moves, so it won't have no moves to use for the time being.

Quick Attack, Swift, Bite, and Shadow Ball were worked out to the point of perfection.

It was worthy of being a Pokémon that the system evaluated as being able to adapt to any evolutionary form...

Eevee seemed to particularly like the Bite move.

Aisha had some ideas.

"Buy a Toxic Technical Machine for you to learn it afterward."

"Boo~ee~"

Eevee, who responded joyfully to Aisha, didn't yet know what position it was in the future as a combatant.

At least, it was very happy right now.

The strength of the Pokémon used by the newbie trainers wandering above Route 3 was not too bad by a large margin, and it just happened to be kept at a level where Eevee could handle it and also get over the top and learn some experience within the matchups, so it was said that the little guy got into the groove of things quickly and fought a good fight against Oddish, Rattata, and Nidoran class of Home Series Pokémon.

Aisha also met a trainer who was training his Sandshrew to resist water moves.

Eevee defeated his Sandshrew at his command as a conclusion to the day's workout.

Almost in the evening, Aisha and Eevee arrived under Mt. Moon.

A Pokémon center was established over here.

That's why Aisha didn't have to sleep out in the wild tonight.

At the Pokémon Center, he asked Nurse Joy to carefully check Eevee's condition - although it was said that the opponents were all newbie trainers' Pokémon, nevertheless, Eevee had more or less suffered a few attacks and was physically and mentally exhausted after battling against them continuously for an afternoon.

After eating, the sleepy Eevee curled up and slept on top of Aisha's lap.

"Boo~ee..."

Between sleeps, a silly smile appeared above Eevee's face.

"Little dummy..."

Aisha's hand also gently smoothed the little guy's fur.

"Little brother, Mystery Pokémon, five hundred for one..."

"Leave."

"Okay!"

The uncle who was selling Magikarp walked away.

Aisha felt Eevee's excellent touch while looking through the glass at the towering and lofty Mt. Moon that spread into the distance.

Although today was Eevee's workout, however, the other Pokémon were considered to have a day off.

When they entered Mt. Moon tomorrow, they were the mainstay of the workout and road opening.

"Hmm?"

At this time, a message popped up on top of Aisha's phone, and upon closer inspection it was Line's friend request.

[I'm a trainer introduced by Gym Leader Brock, ready to customize the Pokéblock for the steel-type Pokémon].

Aisha looked at the account's avatar.

"Magnemite?"

Aisha already knew her identity.
