Cinnabar Island and Seafoam Islands

Above the sky, the gray-skinned pterodactyl moved a bit stiffly and waved its wings as it kept flying higher and higher.

The millions of years of slumber had made its body stiff and its strength was not as strong as it used to be.

However, the only thing that remained unchanged was its heart to conquer the sky.

"Roar!"

Looking at the blue sky, Aerodactyl roared with extreme excitement.

It had already forgotten what had happened to it before it fell asleep, and why it was hidden within such a dark and sunless cave.

However, all of these were unimportant.

The important thing was that it had now awakened, and flew out of that dark cave where it couldn't see out of the corner of its eye, and once again took to the skies, just as it had done millions of years ago.

Aerodactyl was the overlord of the sky.

At all times, it was also a very high-end predator within the flying attribute Pokémon, occupying a position at the top of the food chain.

This was already evident from its flying ability.

Inside the cave, those fossilized Pokémon that had also gone through a long period of slumber now had difficulty even moving.

Aerodactyl, on the other hand, was able to fly freely into the sky, and even caught a human child on the way, ready to fight.

This kind of physical strength was a level far beyond the reach of ordinary Pokémon.

Even if this Aerodactyl had been placed in the ancient times when crises were rampant and berserk Pokémon appeared frequently, I am afraid that it would still be an undoubtedly strong person.

Now, the ancient predator has finally opened its eyes after being disturbed by outsiders.

Then, conquering the sky once again was the first goal it would accomplish after awakening.

"Aerodactyl, you let go of me!"

At this time, a somewhat noisy voice entered Aerodactyl's ears.

Aerodactyl lowered its head and saw the child it had grabbed in passing struggling fiercely.

Maybe he didn't want to either be eaten by itself or be thrown down and then fall to his death high above the ground.

"Let go of me, asshole, I clearly didn't offend you!"

Ash, who was wearing the League's special event perimeter hat, struggled with his hands and feet.

He struggled so hard that even Aerodactyl nearly lost its grip.

"Roar?"

Aerodactyl looked at the ten year old with a bit of bewilderment.

Aerodactyl was naturally aware of how strong its own hand was.

Back in the ancient times, even Nidoking, who had become a father, could not compare to itself.

How could you, a child, still have as much strength as Nidoking?

"Roar..."

Aerodactyl let out a low roar.

The predator in the sky naturally didn't think that it was its own poor strength, it rightly thought that it was starving without much strength after sleeping for millions of years in one breath.

"Roar!"

Its sharp eyes stared at Ash's head.

Aerodactyl was hungry.

It was very hungry.

Fang, it couldn't feel it because of the over-excitement.

Now, along with the fading of excitement, the feeling of hunger and weakness gradually swept over, stimulating Aerodactyl's sanity.

"Eh?"

Ash felt a coolness on his face.

Reaching up, he wiped at it, and it was a bit sticky to the touch.

A glance up revealed that Aerodactyl was drooling on himself.

Ash: "..."

"Help... help!"

At once, Ash's heartbreaking cries for help rang through the sky.

"Zip!"

A beam of golden current split the sky at this time, blocking Aerodactyl's path.

Naturally, this wasn't the handiwork of Ash's Pikachu, that kid wasn't a Pi-God at the moment.

"Eh?"

Ash looked to the ground as if he had seen a savior.

Aerodactyl did the same.

"Roar!"

When it saw that the Pokémon attacking towards it was an Electric Pokémon that it had never seen before, and that Electric Pokémon had a human standing beside it, it roared with excitement as well, and swooped over at breakneck speeds as if it had seen an addition to its lunch.

"Oh?"

Above the ground, Instructor Ai also noticed Aerodactyl's movements.

Looking at the other party's flying posture, Aisha, after exclaiming that this Pokémon was worthy of being a predator of the sky, also muttered to himself, saying, "Seeing me, not only did it not run away, but it came towards me?"

"?"

Rotom, who had been surfing with high intensity all day long, looked at Instructor Ai, who was playing terrier next to him for no apparent reason, with a bit of mixed emotions.

"Rotom!"

Aisha, on the other hand, ignored its line of sight and pointed to the sky with a dashing stretch, saying, "Thunderbolt!"

"Loto!"

Rotom, on the other hand, simply took on the accent of Ash's Pikachu and unrelentingly unleashed a raging, intense and incomparable beam of electricity that shot up into the sky.

Aerodactyl attempted to dodge.

It failed.

Fast as lightning wasn't an exaggerated description, Rotom's Thunderbolt made Aerodactyl unable to avoid it, and its wings were swept by the raging current.

"Roar!"

Aerodactyl's body was paralyzed for a moment.

It wasn't that the negative effect of paralysis was triggered, but the body that hadn't been exercised for a long time was suddenly attacked by a vulnerable attribute and was a bit stressed.

"Hey~ Instructor Ai is here, you're finished!"

Ash, who was being grabbed by it, was in a godly state.

He wasn't afraid that Rotom would hurt him by mistake.

For one thing, it was out of trust in Instructor Ai, and for another, Ash had grown accustomed to Pikachu's electric shocks during this period of traveling, and had no fear of the Thunderbolt at all.

"Roar!"

Aerodactyl shook its head.

The ancient ferocity was still engraved within its DNA, and now after the attack, it was completely activated.

With a roar, countless sharp rocks surfaced around its body, which in turn shot towards the ground as if they were missiles.

"Zi!"

"Boom-!!!"

The golden lightning swept away all the sharp rocks that fell from the sky.

Aerodactyl, on the other hand, revealed a fierce smile, and with a flurry of wings, it used the cover of the explosion to dive at breakneck speed towards the human above the ground.

Aerodactyl was not a Pokémon of martial virtues.

In the ancient sky, only the winner is the king, no matter if it is mean or honorable, as long as it can defeat the enemy, it is the victory.

Of course, only the victor deserves to eat and survive...

"Roar!"

Aerodactyl exploded with terrifying speed between its impassioned roars.

The hundred meter distance was just a flash.

After the smoke from the explosion dissipated along with a strong wind, the drooling Aerodactyl was already flying close to the ground and rushing towards Aisha.

The surprising situation was that Rotom didn't intercept it.

Aerodactyl felt that something was wrong, however, its mind was a bit dazed as it didn't think carefully and rushed straight to Aisha's face.

Out of nowhere, it seemed to see a flash of pity emerge within Rotom's electronic eyes.

What was it?

Pity... who?

In the next moment, Aerodactyl knew.

"Heh~"

With a cold laugh, Instructor Ai threw a blatant punch.

His fist was even faster than Aerodactyl's dive, and carrying a terrifying force, he slammed his fist on top of Aerodactyl's stone head.

"Ka!"

The people and Pokémon present seemed to hear the sound of rock shattering.

Yes, it wasn't bones breaking, but rocks shattering.

"Roar!"

A wail of pain replaced a dominating roar burst out from inside Aerodactyl's mouth.

It flew backwards at a speed faster than it came, and even Ash couldn't hold on to it anymore.

"Whoa!"

Ash was thrown up into the air by Aerodactyl.

Instructor Ai's shiny Metang grabbed him with Confusion precision and placed him firmly on top of the ground.

"Pika~chu~"

In the back, Pikachu and Ash's group of Pokémon were finally catching up.

Ash was surrounded by his pals and laughed heartily.

It was the first time he had experienced such a feeling.

Over there, Instructor Ai also caught up with Aerodactyl.

Danger, Aerodactyl, danger.

"Roar..."

Aerodactyl rushed at Instructor Ai and let out a roar that carried a warning meaning.

However, Aisha was unheard of and rushed to the front of Aerodactyl as if it was a gust of wind, flying up and kicking it on top of its wings.

Aerodactyl stumbled.

Instructor Ai's fist was the one that arrived.

"Hmph!"

Aisha's fists were like raindrops, furiously landing on top of Aerodactyl's torso and wings, each strike also carrying enough power to shake this stone pterodactyl.

"Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!"

"Roar... Roar, roar!"

Aerodactyl could wail as well as roar at first.

In the end, it was reduced to holding its head with its wings in defense.

Occasionally raising its head to look at Aisha, its eyes were filled with fear and cowering.

The brain, dulled by a long sleep, was thoroughly awakened.

Aerodactyl was a bit confused, clearly in his own era of dominating the sky, there were no such horrible creatures on the ground.

What era was this...

Bad, modern times are too dangerous, I want to go back to ancient times.

"Roar..."

Aerodactyl flopped down on the ground, wilting its head and tearfully reminiscing about a time when it had dominated the entire sky.

When had it ever suffered such aggravation?

"Roar!"

Aerodactyl was instantly enraged.

But Instructor Ai slanted a glance at it at this time, and Aerodactyl instantly shut its mouth.

"Well, it doesn't seem to be a wild Pokémon."

Watching its reaction, Aisha nodded in satisfaction.

Aerodactyl became even more depressed.

With that, Instructor Ai turned around and left.

He still had Hunter J's problem to deal with, and beating Aerodactyl was just to take it out on Ash.

Unexpectedly, that Aerodactyl was the one who hugged his thigh.

"Roar!"

Aerodactyl got a little antsy, and the mighty pterodactyl actually bent over and wrapped its front paws around Instructor Ai's leg.

"Uh?"

Instructor Ai was confused.

What the hell is this?

Addicted to taking a beating?

Odd...

"Roar!"

Aerodactyl, on the other hand, barked with an aggrieved face.

It really wasn't a masochist.

Aerodactyl just felt that if a creature like Aisha existed in the modern era, then it, the former sky overlord, might not have a foothold in the modern era.

In that case, it would be better to find a ruthless person to follow.

It doesn't matter if you are a dog, at least you have a mouthful of food to eat.

This was the bottom line of a Pokémon that could mix and mingle in the distant past, the main one being flexible!

"Uh..."

Instructor Ai was a bit confused.

He had little interest in fossilized Pokémon, and likewise could see that Aerodactyl hadn't chosen to follow him because it liked him.

Moreover, Aerodactyl's positioning wouldn't fill the void on his own team.

Quick attackers, there were too many of them.

Attributes were the same. For the Rock Attribute, he had Larvitar, a future Rock type Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, and for Flying type, he already had the future Rayquaza and Charizard.

What could Aerodactyl do?

Spread a handful of nails?

Mega Aerodactyl's strength is fine, but the Mega Evolution Stone thing is a very rare thing.

He was lucky enough to pick up a Mega Evolution Stone from Mr. Fuji's side in Charizard Y form as a reward, and even if he didn't pick the Mega Evolution Stone from Metagross for completing the Badge Collection Quest, the filler behind him would definitely be Tyranitar, not Aerodactyl.

So...

"Forget it."

Aisha pulled his leg out from inside Aerodactyl's claws.

"Your strength isn't too bad and can't die to starvation, what are you following me for?" Touching Aerodactyl's head that was bubbling with cracks, Instructor Ai was a little embarrassed.

As compensation, he left Aerodactyl a box of Pokéblock eaten by Rock type Pokémon, and then turned his head towards the depths of the canyon.

"Roar..."

Aerodactyl glanced at Instructor Ai's back, pondered for a moment, and still followed.

Of course, it still grabbed the box of Pokéblock on its way out.

The difference between being full for one meal and full for every meal, the wise ancient Pokémon naturally had discretion.

...

"How's it going?"

Instructor Ai met Brock within the canyon and asked about the situation at the scene.

"All under control." Brock handed a Hunter terminal to Aisha and said, "Before the crisis, everyone's fighting enthusiasm was extraordinarily high in the face of these people who triggered the crisis."

"Look."

Brock smiled quite happily and said, "According to the list of action teams displayed on top of Hunter J's terminal, we caught all of these Pokémon Hunters."

"Good thing."

After understanding the situation, Instructor Ai's mood was much more pleasant.

He hated it when someone escaped from under his hand.

Team Rocket's famous Three Beasts and Four Admins had each been sent to prison by him, and you Pokémon Hunters had hit the bull's-eye, so of course you couldn't be spared.

"Did you contact Officer Jenny?"

"Yes."

"Good."

"Look." Brock pulled out two more Poké balls and said, "This is an Omastar and Kabutops."

"Oh?"

Aisha was a bit surprised and said, "Taken in?"

"Uh-huh."

Brock nodded, sighing a bit, and said, "The ground was blown up by the Pokémon Hunters with explosives, which woke up the sleeping Fossil Pokémon, and the Fossil Pokémon were fierce, and attacked as soon as they woke up from their sleep, and the Hunters were attacked by them. The Pokémon Hunters were attacked by our trainers, and none of them could run away, but after we defeated the Pokémon Hunters, the Fossil Pokémon calmed down."

"Aside from me, there were a few lucky and strong trainers who were voluntarily followed by the Fossil Pokémon."

"That's pretty dramatic." Brock didn't know what to say, his tone was a bit emotional as he said, "The guy who used forceful means gained nothing, instead we picked up the slack."

"Pokémon is like that."

Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "If you have no malice towards them, then, odds are, they won't have malice towards you either."

"Besides, they are smart as well."

Aisha remembered the Aerodactyl and said, "They might have realized that their previous way of life doesn't quite work in modern times, and that's why they're looking for long-term meal tickets."

Saying that, he looked at Brock with a playful look.

Brock scratched his head and said, "A meal ticket is a meal ticket, I've wanted a pair of fossilized Pokémon since I was a kid, and today is truly a dream come true!"

After he finished speaking, the trainers next to him who had stopped by also let out good-natured laughter.

The scene was cordial.

Except for those bound Pokémon Hunter .

One by two, they stared at the trainers around them with grim faces and venomous eyes.

For the sake of this operation, they had sort of taken a huge risk, and many of them had even purchased equipment out of their own pockets.

However, their efforts were all for the benefit of others.

How could this be acceptable to the Pokémon Hunters, who were always motivated by profit?

What's more, now there's a prison sentence waiting for them...

Pokémon Hunters didn't have a backstage, and if they went to jail, it would be a heavy sentence.

"..."

Hunter J was silent.

Her eyes were keen like a hawk's as she looked around, searching for an opportunity to escape.

"You're waiting for it?"

Suddenly, Aisha's voice made Hunter J raise her head.

Her pupils shrank.

Aisha stood in front of Hunter J, carrying a Weavile that had lost its ability to fight inside his hand.

"You..."

Hunter J's voice trembled a little, trembling with anger.

She had finally panicked.

Weavile was her backhand, a backhand to sneak up on her enemies or save herself after a fall, and she didn't expect to plant it.

"You don't have a show."

Aisha sat down next to her and said, "There's no need for you to say anything more, I don't have any interest in what information you have because someone else is in charge of interrogating you."

"..."

Hunter J grimaced and looked at Aisha like she wanted to kill him.

Instructor Ai, on the other hand, revealed a scoff and said, "You should have thought of your own end when you robbed someone else's Pokémon."

"This time, this side has landed so many Pokémon Hunters, I don't believe you are all hardcore."

"Our side has a righteous Flying... Dragon type Elite Four, who should be quite interested in you guys." He spread his hands and said, "The crimes committed by the Pokémon Hunter Association should more or less be liquidated."

His words fell, and the ear-piercing sound of sirens finally reached the canyon.

...

"Brock, I'll leave this side of things to you."

"Good, don't worry Instructor Ai, your share of the credit will definitely not be less." Brock looked at Aisha with a grateful face.

Today, if it wasn't for Instructor Ai saving the day, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Hmm."

Aisha straightened his collar and said, "I'm in a hurry, preparing to cross the sea to Cinnabar Island to challenge the gym."

"Oh..."

Brock, with a thoughtful look on his face, mentioned, saying, "Perhaps you could take a trip to Seafoam Islands, Elite Bruno seems to be practicing over there recently."

"Oh?"
