Ghost Town, Lavender Town

Along the way, Aisha and Cynthia interacted a lot less.

Instructor was mainly embarrassed by the skin-to-skin contact between last night and this morning - although it was said that the two of them didn't do anything strange or comfortable, however, the fact that a man and a woman slept close to each other for a whole night within a narrow tent was strange enough in itself, not to mention that the woman even hugged him tightly at some point in time, and that strange position lasted for the whole night. The woman even hugged him tightly at some point, and that strange position lasted for the whole night.

For the inexperienced Aisha, Cynthia's scent and some soft touches were indeed too novel an experience.

It really made him really shy to talk about it.

Cynthia, on the other hand, didn't know what she was thinking about...

There was a time when this Divine Olympics Champion was synonymous with cold arrogance and nobility within Aisha's knowledge, the undoubted Valkyrie of the battlefield.

She was one of Ai Instructor's idols.

The problem was that the current Cynthia was rushing along while absentmindedly fantasizing about something, and her moods were very changeable.

Sometimes she smiled dementedly, sometimes she was in a depressed mood, sometimes she stole two glances at Aisha, and then immediately covered her burning cheeks.

"..."

Instructor Ai felt that his personal safety was a bit unsecured.

It hadn't been a big deal when he was traveling over in Ouludrang City and the World Initial Tree before, but how come Cynthia turned into this once she arrived in Yuhong City?

Could it be that Blue had instilled some strange thoughts in her...

"Tsk."

Aisha revealed a distressed expression.

He wasn't sure what exactly was going on.

It couldn't be that Cynthia had fallen in love with herself at first sight.

It wasn't like he was some chimera reincarnated.

What kind of outstanding young talent hadn't the other Divine Ao Champion seen, so how could he have that kind of affection for a new trainer with nothing special about him?

Odd.

"By~"

At this time, the voice of Larvitar interrupted Aisha's rambling thoughts - even if he was as sober as Instructor, it was inevitable that he would still fall into an agonizing situation after stumbling upon these things.

"Hm?"

Aisha raised his head and saw the Larvitar waving his little hands and running towards himself with a smile.

"By~"

The weight of a Pokémon like Larvitar itself was not to be underestimated.

Especially since the Larvitar that Instructor Ai was instructing was an outstanding individual chosen by the Tamahome City Game Corner as a signboard from within the Team Rocket base, its development was even more outstanding.

So after the Larvitar, whose weight was 90KG at the bottom, scurried to Aisha's front, it actually made a catapult start and directly jumped into its owner's embrace.

"Ya."

After Instructor was slightly surprised, he stretched out his arms and hugged Larvitar in one go.

"What's wrong?"

Feeling the cool touch of Larvitar' rock armor, Aisha who didn't frown once at all because of the little one's weight that rivaled the weight of real rock and steel as heavy as steel, also gently stroked the unicorn horn on the top of Larvitar's head, and inquired about the reason why it suddenly pounced on him.

"By~"

Larvitar shook its little head, and after that, its cute cheeks rubbed on top of Aisha's palm.

There wasn't much of a reason.

The little one simply just wanted to be pampered.

"Ha~"

Seeing what Larvitar meant, Aisha couldn't help but let out a light laugh as well, and her mood that was a bit gloomy because of those strange things from before got a lot better as well.

Larvitar was probably the first Pokémon within his own team that had a true childlike personality.

"Hey~"

Aisha also sighed.

He thought of his other Pokémon.

Caterpie had a pure salty fish mentality from the very beginning, although this child possessed the most terrifying talent and potential of the Caterpie clan, and was undoubtedly a golden phoenix inside the grass nest, but he had always maintained the idea and mentality of getting by within the cultivation base, and if he hadn't met himself, I'm afraid that all of his talent would have been wasted within the fish-finding life.

When Marill was still Azurill, she had already been working in the wilds of the [Mt. Chien], and after following herself, although she revealed her naive and cute nature, she was definitely not a carefree child.

Charmeleon and shiny Metang were also needless to say.

The two of them came from under the hands of the two champions, Blue and Steven, there are naturally no defects in terms of character, and they are even considered to be the type that particularly saves the trainer's heart.

Lottom was even the Ro King of the Rotom phone School, an old driver, and was probably quite a bit more mature than himself...

Eevee that child although said weekdays inside look honest, however, as see the right eye then dared to take the initiative to run out of the Oak Research Institute, tailing himself all the way to the outskirts of Viridian City of the ruthless, this little guy in should be mature and fight for the time is also not bad at all, especially subjective initiative.

Chansey... I'm afraid that Chansey is the babysitter that you and the others will need to rely on in the future.

When fighting, it is the most terrifying pink demon.

In the day-to-day life, it is the nanny who can take care of all the partners, including Aisha as a trainer, with his own strength - if not for the fact that Instructor Aisha has some unusual obsessions about cooking, the task of cooking has already been handed over to Chansey, who has the level of a great chef.

The only real small child, really, was the Larvitar that he had redeemed at the Celadon City Game Corner this time.

"Lar~"

Larvitar revealed an innocent smile and rubbed against Aisha's palm.

The master's touch made the little guy very receptive.

It loved Aisha's hand and hug.

As a cherished Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, Larvitar used to be as much of an existence as a little ancestor in the Celadon City Game Corner and within Team Rocket.

No one dared to neglect it.

Since its birth, it has been living the life of a young lady, and at the same time, not knowing that it is an advertisement for the Celadon City Game Corner, Larvitar naturally maintains its innocent character.

Even with a new owner, the new owner was a handsome and gentle boy.

Larvitar was particularly fond of it.

The other Pokémon of his master were also very friendly and took care of him as a little one's senior.

Larvitar felt very happy with its life...

Indeed.

As a Pokémon, Larvitar's quality of life was undoubtedly top-notch.

It certainly had the capital to maintain this naivety.

Aisha was naturally unwilling to force Larvitar to break this innocence.

A little bit of naivety was also quite good.

Anyway, he was not in a hurry for this combat power of Tyranitar, and the cultivation of a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

There was still a long way to go on the path of growth for Larvitar.

This child was naïve, but he wasn't bratty and capricious either.

With the passage of time, it was believed that he would soon mature - until then, with the appearance of such a little cutie within the team, it was believed that the atmosphere would definitely be better.

Besides... Larvitar was different from the Eevee at the beginning.

Although it was said that this child's nature was a bit childish, however, the strength wasn't bad at all.

"As expected of a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, it possesses considerable combat power even at the initial stage."

Holding the weighty Larvitar, Aisha also sighed.

The strength of Larvitar was such that it could even participate in the next Gym Challenge - even if the next gym was Sabrina's Saffron Gym.

The shiny Beldum was like that in the first place.

The Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon deserved to be the favorites of the heavens, and had a bright future ahead of them.

"Hmm..."

Aisha looked at Larvitar, his mood suddenly a bit mixed.

"For your sake, Instructor must work hard to earn money, child!"

Instructor Ai made a vow like this.

The consumption of resources from Larvitar to Pupitar, and Pupitar to Tyranitar was not at a joking level.

"Lar~"

Larvitar didn't quite understand what Aisha was talking about.

However, the intelligent little guy also knew that Instructor Ai was bound to be doing it for his own good.

That's why Larvitar flashed a big, bright smile towards his master, and its small hand took his palm.

"...Good!"

Looking at Larvitar's smile, Instructor instantly felt that everything was worth it.

It felt like actually raising a child.

What's wrong with me earning milk powder money for a child?

Earn!

"Lu?"

Marill looked a little jealous from the side.

It was clear that when Eevee and Larvitar and the others hadn't joined the team yet, it was only right that Instructor Ai's embrace should have been a position that it firmly occupied.

Now, Aisha hadn't hugged itself for who knows how long.

"Lu..."

Marill's expression was a bit lost.

However, it didn't complain explicitly - Marill never complained about something explicitly, because it was a good boy who knew what it was doing, and likewise loved and adored its master from the bottom of its heart.

Instructor Ai's idea of taking care of its new companion was something Marill could understand.

Of course... It was still inevitable that it would feel lost.

"Boo~"

Suddenly, Marill felt a small paw on top of its shoulder.

"Lu?"

Marill turned her head with a puzzled expression, and saw Eevee's smiling face.

"..."

The little water bear immediately put away its lost expression and replaced it with a look of displeasure.

This guy, when Larvitar wasn't in the team, it fought with itself day in and day out for a spot in Instructor Ai's embrace, and now it's mocking itself after its master has Larvitar?

Bad!

Not bad for a guy whose future evolutionary form was predetermined to be a Dark Attribute Pokémon.

"Boo~ee~"

Eevee, however, didn't laugh at it like Marill imagined.

It was actually a bit envious of how Larvitar was treated.

However, Eevee was just as much of a child that knew what it was doing, so it said it wouldn't fool around.

Still... Knowing things didn't mean that Eevee was actually honest.

So...

"Ee~"

Eevee threw Marill a look.

Learn from me, I'll give you a sample.

"Boo!"

After that, Eevee made a backward step and jumped flat on the ground all at once towards Instructor Ai's party.

"Eh, Eevee!"

Instructor Ai somewhat fumbled to hold Eevee.

"Boo~ee~"

Eevee just skillfully rubbed against Instructor Ai's chest.

"Oi~"

Aisha, on the other hand, gave a helpless sigh and said, "It's obvious that it's already a big kid, but as a result, it still likes to pamper itself so much."

Having said that, he also still hugged Eevee.

"Bu~"

Eevee, however, nimbly climbed on top of Aisha's shoulders, and threw a look towards Marill, who was beside it with a face that said, "Why are you so skillful, and how many times have you done this?"

See, the master will not favor one over the other, we are all his beloved Pokémon.

Hurry up, the spots are reserved for you.

"Lu!"

Marill instantly showed a look of realization as if it had been struck by lightning.

Eevee, thanks a lot.

I understand!

"Lu~"

Marill then followed suit and bounced towards Instructor Ai's embrace, successfully occupying one of his free arms.

"What's going on with you two?"

Instructor Ai's smile was rather helpless.

"Boo~"

"Lu!"

Eevee and Marill, on the other hand, rubbed his cheek and chest simultaneously, one on top of the other.

"Lar?"

Larvitar on one side was a bit puzzled, but he was also very good and didn't choose to interrupt.

"Oh?"

Cynthia, who had been distracted along the way, also noticed the noise on Aisha's side.

Looking at Instructor Aisha carrying Eevee on his shoulder, Larvitar in his left arm, and Marill in his right arm, the three Pokémon's developmental state was clearly superior to that of their normal individual counterparts, but despite this, Aisha, who was carrying the three Pokémon, but he didn't have any changes in his walking posture and speed, and then she suddenly sucked in a breath of cool air.

Cynthia's Lucario's eyes also jumped.

"..."

This degree, is he really human?

"..."

Cynthia also had a moment of fear.

In case something really happened between himself and Instructor Ai last night... According to the physical strength of Instructor Ai, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to walk today.

"Ow~"

Charmeleon, who had noticed the situation over here, kind of jumped into action.

"Me-ta-"

Shiny Metang held down its shoulder in one fell swoop.

"Ow..."

Charmeleon looked lost.

Shiny Metang, on the other hand, was very speechless - although it was said that Charmander's temperament had calmed down quite a bit after evolving into a Charmeleon, a child was still a child in the end, and there were times when some childish ideas would always keep arising.

"Ow!"

However, Charmeleon was clearly a smart child as well.

After glancing at Aisha, who had three Pokémon hanging from his body, after slightly comparing their size difference with its own, Charmeleon not only didn't lose its mind that it might not have the chance to be held by Instructor Ai anymore, but instead immediately realized its own advantage over Eevee and Marill.

"?"

Shiny Metang looked at the suddenly combative Charmeleon with a puzzled expression.

What had happened to it?

"Roar!"

Charmeleon remembered its father, the robust, massive Charizard.

It will be a Charizard that could carry Instructor Ai to soar above the sky in the future, and the piece of family status was directly taken to death.

There was no need to fight for that position in Aisha's arms.

Win!

"Me-ta-"

After realizing Charmeleon's thoughts, the shiny Metang sneered.

Flying isn't your monopoly either, I can just as easily become a manned flying unit after evolving into a Metagross.

And...

"Me-ta-!!!"

The silver-white body of the shiny Metang suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning.

It scurried to Instructor's front with a lightning speed, and just when the dumbfounded Aisha thought that such a big iron lump as shiny Metang wasn't ready to give itself a hug, it stretched out its sturdy metal arms to carry its master along with the three Pokémon above its head and sit firmly.

"Eh, Metang!"

Aisha's shock was followed by a wave of relief.

It still had to be the shiny Metang.

The boy had grown up knowing how to take the pressure off himself.

Although the combined guaranteed 120KG weight of Larvitar, Marill, and Eevee was still weighing on him, sitting on the shiny Metang was ultimately a bit easier...

"Boo?"

"Lu?"

Eevee and Marill glanced at each other, both seeing a surprise hidden in each other's eyes.

"Ee!"

"Lu!"

Bad, this time the favorability was all swiped by shiny Metang!

"Me-ta-!!!"

Electromagnetic force and psychic fluctuations were released together, and the shiny Metang seemed to have transformed into a steel chariot, carrying Aisha and the three little ones and rushing forward at once.

By the way, it gave Charmeleon a disdainful look.

See, I can fly and carry people now.

Charmeleon: "..."

Charmeleon was speechless for a while, followed by a heart full of sorrow.

"Ow!"

Damn it, why can't I fly!

Don't worry, there are plenty of Pokémon that can't fly...

"Hey, Metang!"

Rotom phone watched as the shiny Metang overtook the car and became anxious.

I'm the tour guide, how dare you go in front of me?

"Stop, stop, Metang, you're running the wrong way, lo!"

Rotom phone quickly chased after the racing shiny Metang.

Caterpie, Charmeleon and Chansey also hurriedly caught up with them.

"Hey, you guys slow down!"

Cynthia watched Aisha and his Pokémon gradually pull away from him, and felt amused as she hurriedly chased after their backs.

Everyone's rushing speed actually accelerated quite a bit just like that...

Even before the time reached the dusk that Aisha and Rotom phone had expected, it was almost just the afternoon when Aisha and Cynthia looked out and saw a tall tower.

"Is that the Pokémon tower?"

"Hmm... A place in the Kanto region where deceased Pokémon are buried."

Standing between the trees on the outskirts of Lavender Town, Aisha and Cynthia put away their Pokémon.

"Let's go, we can rest at the inn tonight."

"Oh..."

Aisha greeted Cynthia and moved on.

However, Cynthia's tone was slightly lost.

"Strange?"

Entering Lavender Town, Aisha immediately revealed a strange expression.

"Indeed..."

Cynthia also realized the problem at first and frowned her pretty eyebrows.

"Although it's a ghost town where urban legends are prevalent, it's so desolate even in the middle of the afternoon, why on earth?"

Aisha looked at the street in front of her.

Probably to cater to the element of "rituals", the road into Lavender Town led all the way to the Pokémon Tower at the end.

The problem was that such a long and spacious street was now empty.

"Where is everyone?"
