Shiny Beldum and Moon's Blessing

"Pi~"

"Pi..."

"Pi!"

Those Clefairy and Clefable were not injured within the battle between Aisha and Team Rocket.

In fact, the entirety of the so-called battle was just Caterpie making a swarm of meteors with deliberately controlled strength and range, and then Aisha chased down Carr and his Skarmory with Chien-Pao.

The fairy type was immune to the dragon type energy.

The impact of the Mt. Moon Square being destroyed by Draco Meteor was just as much countered by the Team Rocket grunts that surrounded them.

These little guys were safe.

At the same time, they were also fairy type Pokémon that could understand and detect human minds.

Though it was appalling to say that Aisha's ferocious battered Carr looked appalling.

However, Clefairys and Clefables knew that this young man had risked all these dangers and entered Mt. Moon Square... in order to save themselves and the others.

He was their hero.

"Pi~"

"Pi..."

"Pi!"

The little guy and the big guys got busy with their hands and feet, and the fainting and struggling Team Rocket grunts above Mt. Moon Square were dragged to a corner by Clefairys and Clefables.

"Mee~"

Caterpie kept spitting out tough silk next to them, tying up those Team Rocket grunts.

"Well... There's no shortage of people!"

Rotom phone carefully counted the number of Team Rocket grunts beside him.

Not a single one had survived Caterpie's Draco Meteor.

The only Carr that carried through Draco Meteor was crippled by Aisha.

Together with the small troops within the lower cave that were mining for fossils and ended up meeting Aisha's attack, Team Rocket that had attacked Mt. Moon this time had been completely wiped out.

"Officer Jenny and the police force from Pewter City and Cerulean City should have already arrived..."

Rotom phone looked around and revealed a smile.

"Everyone, we won!"

"Roar!"

Charmeleon with the most cheerful nature raised its head first, revealing a joyful and bright smile while raising its head and spewing out a round of scorching flames.

The flames blossomed as if they were brilliant fireworks.

"Lu~"

"Boo~ee~"

Marill and Eevee happily hugged each other as well.

The two little ones had expressions of joy on their faces, as if they were overjoyed because they had helped Clefairys and Clefables.

"Lu?"

"Boo?"

Suddenly, as if they had come back to their senses, Marill and Eevee looked at each other's faces with frozen faces.

"Lu!"

"Boo!"

At that instant, the two little guys let go of each other's bodies with a catapult start, pulling away for a distance, an expression of dislike coincidentally appeared on top of each other's faces, and their little paws were constantly patting their bodies and fur, as if they were afraid of being stained with something dirty.

"Lu!"

Marill stared at Eevee with a gloomy face.

Little bitch, pretending to be cute and begging for master's attention all day long.

Sooner or later I'm going to show you for what you are!

"Boo..."

Eevee, on the other hand, glared at Marill in dissatisfaction.

Violent maniac, there's no light or heavy hand when you strike, my fur is messed up by you.

The master must like a cute kid like me even more!

"Roar?"

Charmeleon was confused.

Originally, it was clear that he and Marill were the happy couple.

How come Marill had found a new rival now?

Three Pokémon's story, two Pokémon's stage...

"Roar!"

Charmeleon looked at Marill with a face of disbelief.

Sumbag!

"..."

Shiny Beldum was coldly watching Charmeleon, who was brainstorming something to itself, indignant, touched, and uncomfortable at the same time.

"..."

Identification complete, Charmeleon is stupid.

"Me-ta-"

Shiny Beldum flew in Aisha's direction.

"I'm not hurt, but thanks a lot, Clefable."

Aisha was gently stroking Clefable's head.

"Pi~"

Clefable was still pulling on Aisha's hand that had broken the skin, showing an expression of enjoyment.

"Me-ta-!!!"

Hearing the word 'injured', shiny Beldum immediately became anxious.

Quickly scurrying over to Clefable's side, shiny Beldum looked over to Clefable's hand that was holding Aisha's.

"Me-ta-"

Shiny Beldum blinked its own eye.

Aisha had broken some skin on top of his fist, and it was almost healed now.

"..."

Shiny Beldum was quite a bit more relieved.

"Me-ta-!!!"

However, resignation and frustration also immediately filled the steel Pokémon's heart.

If I am more powerful than I am now, my master's pressure will definitely be relieved a lot...

Although Aisha's injury wasn't even considered an injury.

However, shiny Beldum was still unwilling to let Aisha feel the pain.

It was clearly a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, but now it didn't have much power enough to sustain a fight.

It couldn't even protect its master.

"..."

Shiny Beldum was silent.

"What's wrong?"

Aisha noticed the condition of shiny Beldum and stroked its shiny head.

"..."

The bright red eyes of shiny Beldum met Aisha's eyes.

I, want to, protect you!

"Me-ta-!!!"

After this thought appeared inside the Heart of Steel, shiny Beldum suddenly felt a surge of power fill his body.

The heart of protection transformed into the power of guardianship.

It wasn't just the master.

The other partners were just as important to protect...

"Me-ta-!!!"

Brilliant light overflowed from within the crevices of shiny Beldum's body, quickly wrapping around its silver-white and golden steel body.

"Pi?"

"Evolution?"

Clefable and Aisha also revealed surprised expressions.

Aisha also took a step back and greeted Rotom phone floating to the side, turning on the camera program - shiny Beldum was still the Pokémon that Steven had given to him after all, and the boy was finally starting to evolve now, and even though it was said that Steven himself wasn't present at the scene, he himself could take a video so that Steven could watch it.

"Lo~ start filming!"

Rotom phone's camera was aimed at shiny Beldum.

"Pi~"

"Pi!"

"Pi~"

At this time, Clefable, who ran to his partner, led a group of Clefables and Clefairys back to the side of shiny Beldum.

"Eh?"

Aisha looked at them with a bit of confusion.

"Pi~"

The Clefairys & Clefables gave a soft bark.

After that, these pink Pokémon held hands in a circle and danced in a mysterious stage around the evolving Beldum.

"Pi~"

"Pi!"

"Pi~"

Mysterious and cute dance, pleasant and melodious song.

Bright energies emerged from all sides of Mt. Moon Square, and along with their dance, they floated to the top of shiny Beldum, actually coalescing into the posture of a moon.

"It's not the energy of fairy type..."

Aisha was puzzled.

The moon's light, however, gradually seeped into the Evolutionary Light of shiny Beldum.

Beldum gradually changed its form under the light, the dumbbell-shaped steel body changed into a flat, thick stance as if it was a flying saucer, sharp thorns emerged, and two thick and powerful arms extended out from the sides of the body.

"Me-ta-!!!"

The voice full of mechanical texture was also much thicker and heavier at this time.

The light of evolution dissipated along with the light of the moon.

As if it was a chariot or a shield, shiny Metang, which revealed an indestructible aura all over its body, floated between Clefairys and Clefables.

"Congratulations, Metang, you've evolved."

Meeting the bright red eyes of shiny Metang, Aisha smiled and congratulated it so.

"Me-ta-!!!"

Shiny Metang floated to the front of Aisha.

"Huh?"

Aisha smiled and tilted his head once.

"Me-ta-"

All at once, shiny Metang stretched out its steel arm and lifted Aisha, placing it above its head.

"Eh?"

After that, shiny Metang immediately let go of the electromagnetic force and psychic fluctuations that controlled the floating body, and transformed into a metal chariot on the spot. Carrying Aisha, the car drove wildly towards above Mt. Moon Square. The speed even soared and left an afterimage on the broken earth.

"Moon's blessing..."

After saving the video, Rotom phone gazed thoughtfully at the racing shiny Metang.

Compared to before its evolution, shiny Metang's body was undoubtedly shinier today.

The silver-white color seemed like bright moonlight...

"Boo~ee~"

Eevee also gazed at shiny Metang's body in a bit of a daze.

The scent of the moon, it liked it too.

"Pi?"

The leader of the Clefable colony - the same Clefable who was worried about Aisha's hand and greeted the colony members dancing for the evolution of shiny Metang at this time - touched Eevee's little head.

"Boo?"

"Pi~"

The leader of the Clefable was obviously well-informed and knew the details of the Eevee class Pokémon.

It was also naturally aware of the fact that Eevee had Umbreon as an evolved form.

From the look on Eevee's face, Clefable could naturally tell that this little guy had its heart set on Umbreon for itsfuture evolutionary form.

Since that's the case, there's no need to say more...

"Pi~"

"Ee?"

Clefable greeted Eevee and entered a very hidden tunnel.

After almost ten minutes of walking, they were finally out of that tunnel and inside a wide cave.

"Boo!"

Eevee's eyes were caught by something placed in the middle of the cave.

On top of something that resembled an altar sat a very large Moon Stone that was large enough in weight to be used by the entire Clefable community.

The giant Moon Stone!

The thing Team Rocket was looking for was actually in such a hidden place...

"Pi~"

"Ee..."

Clefable smiled at Eevee.

The bright moonlight quietly bloomed within the cave...

When the two favorites returned to Mt. Moon Square, the police of Pewter City and Cerulean City were already arriving at Mt. Moon Square, and were now dealing with the Team Rocket minions and captains who were incapable of fighting and could not continue to resist, and the Carr who were the leaders and cadres were under the guard of the two Officer Jennys.

"Mr. Aisha, thank you for stepping in."

The two Officer Jennys bowed towards Aisha.

"It's nothing."

Aisha, on the other hand, waved his hand.

The two Officer Jennys eyes flooded with color within their eyes as they looked towards Aisha.

They had witnessed the image of Carr riding on Skarmory as he prepared to escape when a blizzard whistled above Mt. Moon Square and struck him down while they were in a hurry.

A fellow Gym Leader Misty stated that she didn't have the strength.

It was a direct indication that Aisha's strength was above Misty's.

Now after the blizzard had dissipated, the ice pillar that had been condensed by the convergence of ice type energy was now standing in the center of Mt. Moon Square, as if it was a sharp sword, pointing at the sky.

"..."

Misty stood in front of the ice sword, feeling that overbearing power in silence.

Such an extreme power of ice, Misty remembered the Kanto's Ice type Elite Four and Johto's Ice master.

"Instructor Ai is really very powerful..."

Misty looked over to Aisha, who was still dealing with Officer Jenny, and pondered about the Gym Challenge.

With such a strong trainer, she should take his challenge seriously.

"Carr, finally ambushed!"

A Officer Jenny pulled up the fainting Carr on top of the ground, and after snapping the handcuffs, realized that although the guy still had a breath in him, his physical condition was in a bit of trouble.

"..."

The two Officer Jennys exchanged a glance and looked at Aisha with a touch of appreciation and admiration colored within their eyes.

Act decisively but stick to your bottom line.

As expected of Instructor Ai!

"There are still some Team Rocket grunts and two squad leaders within the lower cave, have you captured them yet?" Aisha suddenly remembered those fossil-mining guys and said, "My Caterpie bound them, they couldn't break free."

"Those guys have been ambushed."

Officer Jenny immediately responded to Aisha's words, saying, "Now that Instructor Aisha has captured Carr of the Three Beasts, Team Rocket has begun to move back into action, but this time it's kind of a broken leg!"

"Aye."

A police officer also sighed at this time.

"Team Rocket has Four Admins in addition to the Three Cadres, there are too many of them, and now that the organization has been reactivated, we don't know how much trouble is waiting for us..."

"Don't be so demoralized!"

Officer Jenny clapped him on the shoulder at once.

"Our League has no shortage of trainers at all, especially since trainers as young, powerful, and kind-hearted as Instructor Ai keep popping up as well!"

Aisha dug his toes to the ground in embarrassment next to him.

"Uh... I'm not really that good."

The police officers at the scene glanced at the ice sword exuding a cold aura on the Mt. Moon Square, then turned to look at Aisha with a look like "What is Instructor Ai pretending to be?"

Aisha: "..."

After that, all of the Team Rocket members were twisted by the police and sent to the bottom of Mt. Moon.

What awaited them was a trial by law.

Twenty minutes later, Aisha, his Pokémon, and Misty, who had been waiting silently by the side for the police to handle their work, were left above the Mt. Moon Square.

"Instructor Ai, first meeting~"

Misty smiled and extended her hand.

"Gym Leader Misty, nice to meet you."

Aisha shook Misty's hand before parting it just right.

"Instructor Ai is indeed Instructor Ai. His mastery of the power of ice is not comparable to that of ordinary gym-level trainers." Misty looked at Aisha's Pokémon and said, "Instructor Ai should be a trainer for compound training of multi-attribute Pokémon. He is really amazing."

Usually, trainers who were proficient in multiple attributes had to face a much more difficult path.

Of course, their strength wasn't to a degree comparable to trainers who specialized in one attribute.

"I heard that Instructor Ai is traveling this time to train his new team."

"Right."

Aisha also acknowledged Misty's words and revealed a polite smile as she said, "My next stop is Gym Leader Misty's Cerulean Gym, and I've been looking forward to the valor of the Cerulean Mermaids for a long time."

"Eh?"

Misty froze.

Afterward, eyes popped up.

"As expected of Instructor Ai, to have such a good vision!"

Misty eagerly held Aisha's hand and said, "It just so happens that Instructor Ai's next stop is Cerulean City, I also need to go home after solving the problems of Mt. Moon and Team Rocket, Instructor Ai might as well travel with me today, rest within the Gym at night, and tomorrow we'll prepare for the Gym challenge."

"Eh?"

Aisha froze.

He didn't know what was going on, why did Misty High up the moment he said Cerulean Mermaid?

Odd.

"Good..."

However, following Misty would indeed be a good choice.

There wasn't much exercise to be done in Mt. Moon anyway.

Might as well head towards Cerulean City earlier.

"But..."

After calming down a bit, Misty had another curious look on her face and said, "Ice and water types are not separate, I didn't expect Instructor Ai to have such deep attainments for ice type."

"However, that Blue guy said Instructor Ai didn't bring his main Pokémon this time..."

"I don't want to fight against them, and Red and Blue keep pestering me to fight."

Aisha responded to Misty's question.

There was no otherwise speculation from Misty that he had an awesome Pokémon.

After all, Chien-Pao was indeed his own Pokémon...

They could continue to brainstorm if they wanted to.

"Got it."

Misty patted Aisha's shoulder.

Obviously, she also understood how keen Red and Blue were on sparring.

"However, if the ice type is concerned, the most powerful trainer is really still that ice master from the Johto region."

Looking towards the ice sword that he had created out of thin air, Aisha remembered that ice master.

The ruthless man who studied the mysteries of time, a Delibird that could single-handedly defeat Ho-oh...

"Hah, he's the real powerhouse."

Aisha sighed.

Combined with Pryce's behavior of studying the mysteries of time for decades, Aisha had reason to suspect that his Delibird was an Iron Bundle pretending to be a Pokémon.

When is the system going to arrange an Iron Bundle for me?

Miraidon is fine, I'll be able to race and swing a sword at the same time later.

"Instructor Ai, my house is pretty big, so I can just sleep when I'm tired of playing."

"Okay, go!"

Saying goodbye to the unwilling Clefable colony, Aisha and Misty walked towards Cerulean City.
