Fusion Bolt Gem and Victory Flame

For some reason, Aisha didn't want to stay overnight in Eindoak Town.

Skyla didn't care either.

That's why said duo took advantage of the dusk and rushed back to Icirrus City with all their might and stayed in a hotel to prepare for the next day before taking the airplane and returning to Nimbasa City.

"Rotom!"

Within the hotel room, Aisha threw out Rotom's Poké ball.

"Lo, what's wrong?"

Rotom, who hadn't switched to its appliance form, was still a bit dazed as it spun around and floated in front of Instructor Ai.

"Instructor Ai?"

"I have a good thing for you."

Aisha revealed a mysterious smile, and then, pulled out the Electric Gem given by the system after the mission was completed.

This was no ordinary Electric Gem.

This was the Electric Gem that housed the power of Zekrom's Fusion Bolt.

The energy of a First-level Legendary, or the electric attribute, it was undoubtedly a secret treasure that was perfectly suited for Rotom to use.

"This!"

The moment the Electric Gem appeared, Rotom's eyes tightened on the crystal clear gem with a hint of electricity flowing inside.

"It's yours."

Looking at Rotom's reaction, Aisha also smiled, and then tossed the Electric Gem to it.

"Mmm!"

Rotom directly opened its mouth and swallowed this Electric Gem.

After it fully developed the energy of this secret gem, it might be able to master Zekrom's Fusion Bolt.

Instructor Ai was also completely confident in Rotom's ability to not dishonor the value of this Electric Gem.

"Hmm... good, so powerful."

After swallowing the Electric Gem, an electric current flashed above Rotom's body, and it itself revealed a strange expression.

"Burp!"

It even burped, as if it had eaten too much.

However, Rotom's control over energy had undoubtedly arrived at a very refined point.

Even though the Electric Gem's energy was very large, it still barely managed to control the electrical energy flowing within its body without wasting a single trace.

Once Rotom had successfully digested the Electric Gem's energy during its workouts and battles, its strength would surely see a great improvement...

"It's worthy of the reward given by the system after defeating Zekrom."

Aisha also smacked his lips secretly.

How big Rotom's appetite was, as its trainer, Instructor Ai, who didn't know how much money he paid in electricity bills in a month, naturally knew no better.

Now, this Electric Gem had only just entered Rotom's stomach, and Rotom had almost vomited.

The enormous energy of this secret treasure was already self-evident.

If an ordinary Pokémon had taken it, it might have caused a physical burden and discomfort due to the excessively large amount of energy.

However, if it was an Ai Instructor's Pokémon, there was no need to worry about that.

For one thing, their strength itself was not bad.

Secondly, the high intensity exercise could also speed up the evaporation of this energy.

"I feel like this energy is enough for me to continuously exercise for a few months without taking a new secret treasure!"

Rotom, who had taken the Electric Gem, was clearly a bit hyperactive.

It transformed into a bolt of lightning and continuously flashed within the hotel room, so fast that even Aisha's eyes were a bit unable to keep up with its movements.

"Yikes?"

Aisha was slightly surprised.

The benefits, already shown...

"In that case, work out harder in the future."

"Hmph!"

Hearing Aisha's words, Rotom also braked sharply and stopped in front of him, nodding down firmly, saying, "Don't worry, Instructor Aisha!"

"I swear that I will not fail your expectations, and at the same time, I will not dishonor the energy of this Electric Gem!"

"I believe you."

In response to Rotom's vow, Instructor returned a gentle smile.

Even if it didn't say it, Aisha wouldn't doubt Rotom.

After all, of course you still know your own children.

Rotom usually served as a toolman for the most part, but, it didn't fall behind at all within its daily exercise.

The degree of hard work was also among the highest within the team Instructor Ai was guiding.

Rotom had also appeared in the Gym Challenge quite a few times.

It was a fierce warrior under Instructor Ai.

Moreover, the Electric Gem, which contained the power of Zekrom's Fusion Bolt, was itself a reward that Rotom had earned.

Although, the operation that completed the mission was to KO the head of Zekrom with the help of Victini's power of victory, which was considered to be stuck in a system bug.

However, Instructor Ai still recognized Rotom's credit.

A ten-year veteran, it was only right to have a good meal...

"Well, there's one more."

Instructor Ai took out another strange secret treasure.

It was an amber gem with a flame burning at its core.

Yes, it was an amber sealed with a flame.

"Victory Flame?"

Carefully scrutinizing this strange amber, Aisha also mumbled its name to himself.

This was the reward given by the system after he unintentionally triggered and completed the hidden quest of "Liberating Victini".

He thought that it should be the same type of flame as Victini.

Although, it doesn't possess the magical power to win all battles like the original.

However, it was at least a secret treasure that stored the same power of a Mythical Pokémon.

It should be a very good tonic for fire-attribute Pokémon.

"Charmeleon."

Thus, Aisha threw out Charmeleon's Poké ball.

If it was a fire-attribute secret treasure, there was naturally only one candidate to use it, and that was Charmeleon, who was also a ten-year veteran.

"Roar~"

As soon as Charmeleon appeared, it wrapped its arms around Instructor Ai's shoulders and rubbed his face intimately.

Instead, it didn't care much about Victory Flame.

Aisha's heart was also quite touched.

"You're lucky." He knocked Charmeleon's head, and looked at Charmeleon covering its head that didn't hurt at all, deliberately making a look of aggrieved gesture, and then he also revealed an amused expression, and stretched out his hand, saying, "Here, this thing belongs to you."

"Roar?"

Charmeleon looked at the Victory Flame that Instructor Ai had handed to it with a puzzled expression, and all of a sudden, its eyes also looked straight.

The instincts of being a Fire-type Pokémon told it that eating this would allow its flame power to rise by more than one level.

"Bee~"

At this time, a familiar voice entered the ears of Instructor Ai and Charmeleon.

Victini revoked its invisibility and floated next to Aisha, looking at the Victory Flame that he handed to Charmeleon.

"Bee?"

V-cub had a puzzled look on its face.

It felt an aura from above this one amber that came from the same source as itself.

Although it was said to be much weaker.

However, this flame was definitely the Victory Flame as well.

"Hmm?"

Aisha looked at Charmeleon with an amused expression after seeing the little guy's thoughts from above Victini's expression.

"Rotom's KO is KO, but at least they moved their hands properly to get the Fusion Bolt version of the Electric Gem."

"Good for you." Instructor Ai rubbed Charmeleon's face and watched as it cooperated with him to make all sorts of wacky expressions, saying, "Man sits in a ball, cheat falls from the sky."

"Roar~"

Charmeleon didn't quite understand what Instructor Ai was saying.

However, it knew that its master was preparing to buy itselff a cheat.

Good!

Charmeleon could be considered one of the top Pokémon within Instructor Ai's team that was eager to become stronger.

Because, there was always another Buddha on its head, and that was Blue's Charizard, who was also its father.

Charmeleon, who had received too much expectation and praise since he was a child, and now he was under the Instructor of Ai, was very eager to become stronger quickly, and to become a Charizard that was not weaker than his father.

Although it is said that on weekdays, Charmeleon's exercise is very hard.

Its strength was also rising particularly fast.

However, compared to a genius like shiny Metang, Charmeleon always felt that he was not strong enough.

Finally, Aisha took out Victory Flame.

Charmeleon felt like it could do it!

"Roar!"

With an excited roar, Charmeleon took the crystal clear amber, and in one fell swoop, threw it inside its mouth and swallowed it.

"Roar... roar!"

The amber that sealed Victory Flame quickly melted between Charmeleon's throat, while the fire burning inside burrowed into its abdomen in one gulp.

Feeling a flame running through its body, Charmeleon's eyes widened at once.

It suffocated its face, which was originally a crimson red, and with a single mouthful, it spewed out a bunch of extraordinarily hot flames.

"Oh!"

Aisha tilted his body and dodged Charmeleon's flames.

"Bee~"

Victini, on the other hand, clapped its hands.

It felt a trace of the same breath that originated from itself from within that bite of flame from the Charmeleon.

"Roar... roar?"

Charmeleon gasped and looked at its claws in a bit of a daze.

How did it feel that its muscles had tightened up a few points?

Charmeleon turned its head to look at its tail again.

The flames burning at the end of the tail, visible to the naked eye compared to just now, were a bit more vigorous.

The color was also some changes, the original reddish flame within a wisp of gold.

"The nature of the flame has changed a bit... it seems to be this way."

While Charmeleon was feeling the changes in its body, Instructor Ai also quickly scanned through Charmeleon's body and made an initial conclusion.

Good thing.

Victory Flame's enhancement for Charmeleon was not ordinary.

Since then, within Instructor Ai's team, both of the two special attack turrets had completed taking the secret treasure.

One fire and one thunder, in the future, their bombardment will definitely be more powerful.

Strong and powerful ah strong and powerful!

"The secret treasures given by the system are so powerful..."

Examining Rotom and Charmeleon's demeanor, which was very different from the past, Instructor Ai's mind was also a little more active.

Within his own team, the mission that targeted to the Pokémon was not for everyone though.

However, Victory Flame's acquisition had given Aisha a new thought.

"I can look for and complete some hidden quests for theatrical Pokémon like this one, and obtain some special rewards from it."

Aisha thought that this matter was feasible.

After all, most of the theatrical releases were stories centered around Legendary and Mythical Pokémon.

There were simply too many opportunities like this "Liberate Victini".

All he needed to do was to participate in the plot with high intensity and make some contributions and changes, and the special rewards could easily be received?

Good!

"I've made up my mind, I'll participate in the plot with high intensity from now on."

After making up his mind, Aisha took stock of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon that were related to him.

Mew, Pass, that guy is unreliable and probably can't explode gold coins.

Mewtwo... the quests have been posted.

Three Swords of Justice and Keldeo, oh, that one's fine.

"When the time comes, when dealing with Ghetsis and Kyurem, you can bring Keldeo along to let it rub off on the output, and maybe give me a copy of the Water type Secret Treasure for Marill."

Anyway, Keldeo is a water and fighting attribute...

Even if the one given wasn't a Water type Secret Treasure, it was surely something that could be used by a physical attacker.

"Cool!"

Aisha lay on top of the hotel's big bed with a comfortable face.

Ever since he discovered the function of hidden quests, he felt that a very bright future awaited him.

"Boo~ee!"

Eevee was also the first to climb onto the bed and curled up in Instructor Ai's arms.

"Lu!"

Marill was a close second.

This child was not very good at acting like a spoiled child, but Eevee taught it how to please others.

"Ee~"

"Lu!"

The two little ones rubbed against Instructor Ai's arm.

Aisha smoothly wrapped his arms around it and revealed a smile.

If, Instructor Ai's calculations weren't wrong, these two children weren't much longer from evolving.

Eevee had grown up in the Oak Research Institute with a very solid foundation, and after following him with high intensity intake of nutrients and undergoing intense battles and workouts, its strength grew by leaps and bounds.

Marill was even more so.

"After evolving, your strength will only become more powerful."

Touching Eevee and Marill's heads, Aisha's expression was also quite emotional.

In this way, gradually nurturing the originally weak Pokémon to the point where they could stand alone.

As a trainer, he really felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Boo?"

"Lu?"

However, after hearing his words, Eevee and Marill raised their heads together with a puzzled expression on their faces.

They looked at Aisha's embrace with a torn expression.

Evolution...

After their bodies grew bigger along with evolution, would they no longer be able to be hugged by their master?

"Idiot."

Aisha knocked Marill and Eevee's little heads.

After raising these two pampered ghosts for so long, he could certainly tell what they were thinking.

"Don't worry!"

Instructor Ai revealed a confident smile.

"You guys just evolve, I'll be the one to contribute!" Aisha let out a declaration of great purity, saying, "Even if you guys turn into Umbreon and Azumarill, I can easily hug you!"

"..."

"Boo!"

Marill had a look of wanting to say something, while Eevee's face was full of all the adoration.

Marill choked a little.

It was clearly the number one strongest physical attacker within the team.

It was the same in terms of seniority.

As a result, during this period of time, his own trainer seemed to be particularly obsessed with carrying his own sword onto the battlefield ever since he had gotten Chien-Pao.

In particular, once he brought up Chien-Pao, a hundred of itself wouldn't be enough to give him a fight.

Marill felt like its self-respect as the team's number one item attacker had been swept away...

"Lu!"

After grieving, Marill regained its spirit.

Some time ago, when Aisha was learning swordplay from the three Swords of Justice, Marill was also consulting three Swords of Justice a little.

Although it was said that the three Swords of Justice did not know boxing.

However, they were familiar with some advanced martial arts techniques.

Marill had taken a lot of lessons from the three Swords of Justice, and paired with the foundation she had built before with the practical drills she had done with the Battle Subway, she had made a sort of entrance into the martial arts, and her strength had increased quite a bit.

But...

Still couldn't catch up with Instructor Ai who was holding Chien-Pao!

"Lu~"

Marill flopped down on the bed with a sad face.

Why?

Why, instead, does a trainer pursue power so much?

If that's the case, what does he need us Pokémon for?

"Lu..."

Marill rolled off the bed in a single bound and did push-ups in place.

Eevee was fine with it.

"Boo~ee~"

The little guy rolled on top of the soft bed, ignoring Marill below with a comfortable expression.

It was itching for Instructor Ai to be a little more powerful.

In the future, even if it evolved into a heavy Umbreon, it could continue to stay in his arms.

"Boo~"

Eevee looked at its fur.

When he thought that its fur would turn into a handsome black color with a beautiful yellow aperture, it was excited as it liked to look handsome even since it was a child.

"Ee~"

I'll be the shield of Instructor Ai!

Umbreon, the invincible shield.

...

The next morning, Instructor Ai took Skyla's airplane and returned to Nimbasa City.

As soon as he walked into the Nimbasa Gym, Aisha sensed a rush of activity inside the gym... Aisha felt that the gym was busy to the point of being in a frenzy.

People like himself who were active and still had the heart to run outside and wander around instead were the ones who were out of place.

"Yo!"

Iono, who was in charge of directing the work at the front desk, saw Instructor Ai and immediately greeted him with her strange tone, saying, "Instructor Ai, back?"

"Uh, back."

"Eindoak Town trip, how did it feel?"

"It was okay, quite rewarding."

Aisha smiled.

It was more than rewarding.

This trip was simply a blood profit.

"Sister Iono!"

A shout interrupted Aisha's conversation with Iono.

"Ah?"

Iono looked behind Aisha.

Aisha also turned his head.

A purple-haired girl rushed into the Nimbasa Gym, and an Axew burrowed within her fluffy hair.

"Ax~axew~"

"Miss Iono, eh... this is Instructor Ai?"

Aisha recognized the girl's identity.

Iris, the future Unova champion.

"Uh, it's me, Aisha."

Aisha gave a friendly smile.

Iris, on the other hand, introduced herself cheerfully and said, "Hello Instructor Ai, I'm Iris, the future Dragon Master!

"Let's have a sparring match!"

"Lu?"

Next to Instructor Ai, Marill twisted its head and looked at this "Dragon Master".

I think I heard there are dragons?
