Progress, Ideal Hero

Cobalion agreed to Aisha's terms.

The power of the sword is not an unheard of skill, especially since the only Pokémon that can develop this power for their own use are the three Swords of Justice and the still immature Keldeo. Aisha had only asked to learn the skill, and Cobalion would not begrudge him the opportunity to teach it to him.

Besides, Cobalion was curious.

How far could Aisha go in the art of swordsmanship with a Second-level Legendary as his sword weapon?

Perhaps he could become the fifth Swords of Justice...

What?

There are only four Swords of Justice?

Well, isn't it normal for there to be five Swords of Justice?

Cobalion may be a serious man, but he's not a rigid.

A little flexibility can make things better, and Cobalion knows that...

At least agree to Aisha's terms.

Otherwise, if he pissed off this boy, he might be able to wipe out all four Pokémon with his sword.

Well... Cobalion couldn't guarantee that the three of them would be able to take on Instructor Ai with his sword.

It's too scary, this human.

So, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion became Aisha's teachers for a while, and started teaching him swordplay.

The amount of training Keldeo had to undergo also went up a notch.

After this incident, Cobalion and the others had realized that Keldeo was a foolish child with a passionate and impulsive nature.

Virizion only gave Keldeo an afternoon off, and the pony chased the scent of Chien-Pao and Rayquaza all the way to Nimbasa City and attacked the innocent Aisha.

There's no guarantee that an education and a lesson will make Keldeo behave itself.

If that's the case, then we'll have to train it harder.

It's just as well that the kid doesn't have a lot of free time to get into trouble with others.

So, Aisha knew the real reason why Keldeo had approached him.

"Kyurem..."

After listening to Keldeo's explanation, Instructor Ai revealed a strange expression.

Because Kyurem was explained by the three Swords of Justice as an dark dragon of ice.

So Keldeo was eyeing himself who was carrying Chien-Pao, the Treasure of Ruin with the attributes of Ice and Dark, and at the same time, his body was already tainted with Rayquaza's dragon's scent...

What a coincidence.

Keldeo had just finished listening to Kyurem's story when the airplane he was riding on flew over its head.

Well, it's doubtful that there's a mole on the Mistralton flight who assassinated Instructor Ai.

Investigate!

"Sorry!"

Keldeo knelt down on the ground, its head pressed against the grass in an "dogeza" position.

Its words were sincere, and it was clear that it really realized what a ridiculous thing it had done, and that it felt guilty towards Aisha.

"It's okay~"

Aisha stroked Keldeo's fur, especially the orange hair on the top of its head, sighing at how nice it felt while calming its troubled heart.

"I'm fine too."

He smiled, though, and gave Keldeo a little lecture.

"But it's a good thing you met me, otherwise, you'd be in big trouble."

"Oooh."

The colt lowered its head in shame.

At the same time, its favoritism towards the "understanding" Instructor Ai was rapidly increasing.

Keldeo loved power, and naturally, it worshipped the strong.

In the past, it thought that the strongest people were serious and enigmatic people like Cobalion.

Unexpectedly, this time, it met Instructor Ai, a powerful person who even Cobalion had to treat him with respect, and at the same time, it was overly gentle.

"I won't do that again."

"Yes!"

After listening to Instructor Ai's consolation and lessons, Keldeo also raised its head with teary eyes, and a firmness appeared between its eyes.

"But..."

Immediately, the colt showed a puzzled expression, saying, "Since, Mr. Aisha is so powerful, then, why is he obsessed with learning our sword techniques?"

"Those things should be just icing on the cake for you."

"You said it was just icing on the cake."

Aisha still kept that gentle smile and responded to Keldeo's inquiry, saying, "The martial arts path itself is an endless path."

"Every true martial artist understands that there is no end to the path of martial arts, and they... We will continue to improve and adjust our own martial arts and techniques, seize any means that may enhance their own, continue to move forward, continue to become stronger, towards a brighter path, there is no strongest, only stronger!"

"There is no strongest, only stronger..."

Keldeo was shocked by Aisha's words.

His words completely overturned Keldeo's long-held belief in becoming stronger.

Aisha added, saying, "The path of martial arts has no limits, and so does the path of the sword."

"The sword has no limits."

"Well, so..."

Aisha's slender fingers flicked Keldeo's horn.

"Yikes!"

The pony blushed.

"What, what?"

"During this time, I'll be learning swordsmanship from your three seniors, and you're learning swordsmanship from them as well, so~"

Instructor showed a wicked smile.

"Please teach me more, Keldeo."

"Well!"

Looking at Aisha's smile, Keldeo was also inexplicably happy.

"Well... yes!"

Blushing slightly, the pony's voice was even higher than before.

It was truly happy for Aisha's company.

Though, it was only today that it met this boy, and it had even been beaten up by him an hour ago.

However, Keldeo didn't care about those things.

"I see, I finally get it, Mr. Aisha, thanks a lot!" Keldeo realized the true meaning of its becoming stronger because of Aisha's words, so naturally, it stood up in ecstasy, looked at him, and said, "After that, for a while, please watch my pace of becoming stronger, and we'll work together."

"Okay."

Here, one person and one Pokémon were getting along very well.

Far away in the bushes, the three mature and reliable Swords of Justice revealed a complicated expression in unison.

"Keldeo is too fond of Aisha."

Virizion smiled helplessly.

"It's a good thing, but Keldeo has never been so obedient on our side..."

Terrakion felt like its dignity as a parent was being trampled on by a human.

"..."

Cobalion remained silent, however, the complicated look in its eyes indicated that its heart was filled with frustration.

"Lost."

The three Swords of Justice complained together.

After that, the three Pokémon looked at each other.

"Ha..."

The three Swords of Justice sighed together again.

"Well, teaching one person is still teaching, and teaching two people is still teaching."

"Indeed, if you take a look at Keldeo's current state, maybe having a human kid as its partner will inspire Keldeo's passion."

"Uh-huh."

Virizion, Terrakion and Cobalion reached an agreement.

After that, Aisha and Keldeo's training began.

However, since Instructor Ai had a lot of things to do, his sword training was done in the evening.

In the morning, Aisha accompanied Elesa and Iono at the Nimbasa Gym, where they continued to perfect the opening ceremony performance and rehearsed.

In his spare time, Instructor Aicha was working on a report on the concept of beauty.

Surprisingly, Elesa had some knowledge about Beauty Degree, and the beautiful model helped Aisha with her work.

Elesa's relationship with Aisha was also enlivened by the writing of the report, and the two of them could even smile and chat for a long time on weekdays.

Iono was at a loss for words.

She felt that she was somehow a step behind Elesa, and the problem was that she was uneducated.

She couldn't understand.

Instructor Ai's response was that Iono's behavior matched his impression of her.

Iono understood and almost used her shark teeth to give Aisha a gill bite.

"Genius Pokémon tactics master, emerging popularity anchor, future Pokémon researcher~" Elesa's blue eyes are full of light, she licked her delicate red lips with interest, the whole person is not only beautiful, and full of charm, as if it is the same as the siren opened, thin lips lightly opened, said: "I really climbed on an excellent boy this time, I do not know what achievements of the future you still have! What achievements, can let me dip a bit of light?"

"I'm uneducated, ah, I'm uneducated... I'm uneducated."

Iono was beside himself.

In the afternoon, Instructor Ai and his Pokémon were like a black force invading Nimbasa City, mercilessly brushing Ingo and Emmet's Battle Subway over and over again, alternately switching between singles and doubles battle modes, and taking the Battle Subway's staff whose strengths were far greater than that of the amateur trainers, and frantically brushing up on experience, practicing their own commanding abilities and Pokémon strength. Pokémon strength.

The two captains were already numb, those staff saw Instructor Ai was like seeing the plague, avoiding it.

The problem was that Instructor Ai was Elesa's guest, so Ingo and Emmet had to give him a favor.

As a result, the subway, which was usually too difficult for many people, suddenly became very busy.

Aisha also maintained an excellent record of not losing a single battle, exercising all of his Pokémon.

The only Pokémon that had evolved was Haunter.

However, their strength was already different, or at least they had collectively moved up a level.

"Numb."

Emmet collapsed on the bench, like a salted fish that had lost its dream.

"Suddenly, I don't want to live in this era."

Ingo also had a psychological shadow over Aisha's existence.

As the captains of the Battle Subway, the two brothers had to be the gatekeepers for the twenty-first match after the challenger had won twenty consecutive matches - that is to say, while the other employees of the Battle Subway could retreat out of fear of Instructor Ai's strength, they couldn't.

Well, during this time, Ingo and Emmet had lost to him and his Pokémon many times.

To the point where Ingo had to ask Emmet to temporarily captain a couple of singles trains to buy himself some time off.

Scary...

At night, naturally, it was sword practice.

Aisha, unlike Keldeo, didn't need to tap into any dormant power within his body, so the only thing he practiced was swordplay.

Instructor Chien-Pao took Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion, the three Swords of Justice, to the battlefield.

In this world, countless martial arts are summarized by human beings who have taken some inspiration from Pokémon and put it into their own bodies.

Aisha was like a sponge, absorbing the experience of the sparring sessions, gradually discovering, understanding and learning the sword techniques of Cobalion, Virizion and Terrakion.

"Though I've only learned the art of swordsmanship in the beginning, I've at least started on the path."

Under the moonlit night, standing on the grassland outside of Nimbasa City, Aisha looked up at the bright moon with a smile.

He listened to the sound of the wind blowing through the grass, his mind calm.

He closed his eyes, and the invisible supernatural power fluctuation was unconsciously released, like a few tentacles, spreading all the way to the distance, feeding back some information.

The tenderness of grass.

The coolness of the breeze.

The vigor of the soil.

"Ha~"

Re-opening his eyes, Aisha let out a light laugh, and a light flashed within his eyes.

During this period of time, along with the high intensity of commanding Pokémon battles, as well as sword training, Aisha's supernatural ability cultivation is also growing day by day, along with the richness of the spiritual power of the enhancement, some of the simple operation of the supernatural ability for the present day for him has been a matter of ease can be realized.

Nowadays, it's not impossible for him to fly in the sky for a short period of time.

Well, there's an Earth God to laugh at.

Ahem, let's not say the name, but let's give it a little face time.

"Thank you, partner."

Raising the bronze sword that was wrapped in coldness and malice, Aisha softly thanked it.

Although Chien-Pao had caused him some trouble when he first met it.

Nowadays, Chien-Pao has become his close companion... even now, they don't speak a word to each other.

However, the relationship between swordsman and sword...

It goes without saying.

"After a while, I'll gather some information about the Treasure of Calamity."

Aisha had a new idea.

"After I return to Dayan after this Indigo Plateau Conference, I can collect the remaining three Treasures of Ruin."

Although it was said that Pokémon were important.

However, it's also important for trainers to improve their own strength.

"That kid really learned it."

Far away, on top of a small mountain, Virizion's face was covered in unbelievable surprise and admiration.

"What a genius, a hero is out of a boy!" Terrakion's personality was as bold as its strong body, and it didn't hide its appreciation and love for Aisha, saying: "It's only been a week or so, and that kid has learned our swordsmanship and stances, not just one, but three types of swordsmanship at once, it's really amazing!"

"Humans have an inherent advantage in the use of tools and the learning of techniques, this is something that we Pokémon can't do even if we are envious."

Listening to Terrakion's words, even as serious as Cobalion, he involuntarily revealed a smile.

"Our teaching of him has come to an end."

"Uh-huh."

"Indeed... the rest of the way, this kid needs to walk on his own."

Virizion and Terrakion responded one after the other, agreeing with Cobalion's words.

They Swords of Justice each have their own paths.

As the saying goes, it's up to the individual to learn from the master.

Keldeo needs to develop its own power and realize the power of its sword.

Aisha had his own path.

"Once he's fully digested our swordsmanship, and once he's realized his own swordsmanship... then, even if we give him the name 'Swords of Justice', it's not impossible."

Cobalion gave a heartfelt smile.

Virizion and Terrakion were also happy.

They weren't rigid... moreover, after a week of living together, the three Swords of Justice had truly recognized Aisha's qualities and heart.

The relationship between the two parties, both as teachers and friends, had been successfully established.

Now, seeing Aisha embarking on her own sword path, the three Swords of Justice were genuinely happy.

"Well, let's not slack off!"

Cobalion raised its head, looking at the starry night sky, and said: "That child said, in the future, when he faces the Demon God and the many gods, he needs our strength!"

As soon as the words left its mouth, it ran ahead of the others towards the mountains.

"In order to prepare for the upheaval of the unidentified super demon god, we need to become even more powerful!"

"Charge! My muscles and sword are waiting to be utilized!"

The Three Swords of Justice, who protect the world, are today advancing for world peace.

...

The melancholy green-haired young man, wearing a cap, stood on top of the cliff.

His eyes looked through the clouds to the city next to him.

Then, with determination, he turned around and stepped into the dense forest behind him.

He knew there was a place where Zekrom's Black Stone was kept.

N needed to awaken Zekrom and make him his partner once again.

He needed power.

"I can't let Instructor Ai down..."

N's eyes were determined.

The trainer had given him the motivation to move forward and cleared his confusion.

As such, N believed that he was now qualified to awaken the dragon again.

"Ghetsis, I can stop you!"
