Beach, Cynthia’s Reward
Officer Jenny moves fast.
Of course, it was limited to the closing.
This time, all the Pokémon Hunters who attacked Grampa Canyon were arrested by the police, and even Hunter J, who had been on the most wanted list for who knows how many years, was finally caught.
The Fuchsia City Police were overjoyed.
Aisha had once again become their hero.
Of course, Instructor Ai didn't stay over at Grampa Canyon much because he was in a hurry, and likewise didn't accept Officer Jenny's invitation to return to Fuchsia City again.
He followed the order of the Gym Challenges and headed towards the south of Fuchsia City.
After spending almost a day on the road, finally, Instructor Ai saw the azure sea.
"Ah..."
Standing before the exit of the forest, Aisha stretched his back against the fresh sea breeze.
In front of him was the golden sandy beach with the endless sea, and next to it stood the sign for Fuchsia City Industries.
He had followed the signpost and walked all the way to this side.
Fuchsia City was bordered by the sea, and the beach over here naturally became a place of development for Fuchsia City, becoming a tourist attraction.
After all, the beach and the sea were always a favorite pairing for people as well.
Swimsuits were even more quintessential.
"Hmm."
Looking out at the sea in the distance and listening to the sound of the waves rolling in, Instructor Ai also felt a sense of relief.
He hadn't seen much of the sea.
When he was in Dayan, before graduating from high school, Instructor Ai lived within the inner volumes of Dayan's classics and did not have much opportunity to travel.
After graduating from high school, it was not easy to find a chance to go to Hoenn, but the result was that he met Team Magma and Team Aqua messing around, triggering a quest issued by the system, which scared him into running back to the Dayan region with Caterpie from Lilycove City in the middle of the night.
The second time he traveled to Hoenn, he was again kept busy with various things...
Although it was said that Sky Pillar was built on the sea, at that time, Instructor Ai, who had been busy letting Caterpie enhance its strength, didn't have much of a mind to view the sea view.
"Hey..."
Recalling his grueling past, Instructor Ai smiled helplessly and shook his head.
So, this time was considered his first time looking at the sea without any worries.
A burst of laughter caught Aisha's attention.
On top of the beach below, he saw the travelers who had come to play were also showing their youthful vigor.
Hmm.
Something big and white was very eye-catching.
Sure enough, swimsuits are good civilization - Aisha sighed so inwardly.
However, Instructor Ai's eyes didn't linger long on the bodies of those extremely well-endowed swimsuit older sisters.
Because he began to wonder about Summer's appearance in swimsuit.
"I wonder what type of swimsuits my family's No. One big sister likes?" Aisha showed a curious expression.
He had a feeling that, according to Summer's personality and style, wearing a swimsuit should look interesting.
"Ah~"
Instructor Ai made an acceleration and ran down the hill and stood on top of the beach.
After going down, he realized that Fuchsia City had developed the beach into a very good sized place - there were a lot of stores built next to the beach, such as inns for people to take a rest, swimsuit stores selling swimsuits, and stalls selling various kinds of snacks and cold drinks to cool down the summer heat.
"Hey!"
Instructor Ai went to buy a cold drink and hid in the shade, looking aimlessly at the rippling sea.
The seascape was beautiful.
He suddenly remembered that Juan had once told himself that the seascape of Sootopolis City was one of the best in the world.
"If you have the chance, you must take a trip to Sootopolis City to see the sea."
Aisha leaned back on top of the chair and sipped his drink.
A group of travelers walked by in front of him, and as he watched them talking and laughing, Instructor's expression was suddenly a bit emotional.
He was muttering to himself with a thoughtful expression as he said, "Traveling alone is much more free, but when you meet a time like this, it's true that it's still a bit more fun when you have one or several traveling companions by your side."
"Indeed loto."
Rotom phone also agreed with Ai's Instructor's thoughts, saying: "Seeing the sea with a traveling companion and playing at the beach is indeed the highest enjoyment for the body and mind as well."
Then, it looked at Aisha.
"So..."
Instructor Ai also looked at it, wondering what this guy was planning to do again.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to see Instructor Ai's swimsuit."
"Pfft!"
Aisha sprayed a mouthful of cold drink on top of its screen.
"What's so great about a man's swimsuit." Instructor Ai wiped his mouth and said with a bit of helplessness, "I used to not draw male characters at all when I played card drawing games, let alone liver male character skins during swimsuit events."
"No!"
Rotom phone retorted Instructor Ai's words very seriously, saying, "Instructor Ai's swimsuit is different!"
"Stop, well, you should stop saying that."
Aisha raised his hand and interrupted Rotom phone's words.
He had a feeling that if he didn't stop it, Rotom Phone would go on for a long day on the topic of "Why Instructor Ai's swimsuit is a god".
Well, it's true that the job of editing the video he gave it was too light.
Next time, I'll increase the size of the task.
"Lu~"
"Boo~ee~"
At this time, as if they heard Instructor Ai's conversation with Rotom phone, Marill and Pokémon popped out of the Poké ball by themselves.
The two little ones stood in front of the chair and stretched out in front of the blowing sea breeze, their postures and movements were very synchronized.
"Lu~"
"Boo~"
With that, Marill and Eevee revealed a comfortable expression together.
These two little ones had spent so much time together that even their habits were quite similar.
"Lu!"
Before Instructor Ai could say anything, Marill ran next to him in a flash, its small hands hugging his calves.
With an expectant face, Marill looked at Instructor Ai and then looked towards the endless azure sea.
Apparently, as a Water-type Pokémon, but having never played inside the sea in her life, Marill was also a bit looking forward to the beach vacation trip.
"Can't do anything with you."
Instructor picked up Marill and helplessly smiled as he stroked its cold little head.
"Then, let's play over here for a while."
"Lu~"
"Boo~ee~"
"Good loto!"
Having received Instructor Ai's approval, the three Pokémon who were a little bit on the lookout cheered at once.
Marill and Eevee immediately ran towards the beach.
Rotom phone, on the other hand, pulled Instructor Ai over to a place above the beach under a parasol and made him lie down on top of a lounge chair.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this cozy..."
Leaning on the lounge chair, Instructor Ai relaxed.
He threw out the other Poké balls, and everyone appeared above the beach at once, surrounding Aisha.
"Don't look at me."
Instructor Ai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, go play!"
"Roar~"
"Jiejie!"
"Lar~"
A few children with lively natures instantly spread out, following Marill and Eevee in front of them as they ran on top of the golden sandy beach.
"Me-ta..."
Shiny Metang wasn't too excited - it had stayed at Steven's house before, and hadn't seen any big scenes before.
So shiny Metang leaned against the side of Aisha's recliner and assumed the duties of a small table.
"Chansey~"
Chansey sat on the other side of the recliner, its small hands digging and digging in the sand, in the manner of preparing to build a sand castle.
Its movements successfully attracted Larvitar's attention.
The little guy decisively picked up Charmeleon and shiny Haunter and rejoined Chansey's embrace, and the two Pokémon, one big and one small, played a game of sandcastle through the shade of the parasol.
"Lar!"
Larvitar's small hand waved, and the ground attribute energy induced a buildup of sand.
Soon, a roughly sandbag appeared in front of him.
"Chansey~"
Chansey began to perform at this time, sweeping its hand swiftly over the top of the sandbag Larvitar had summoned as if it were carving a work of art.
The rough sandbags gradually highlighted the castle under its carving.
Gates, walls, windows, and sentry towers also appeared one after another.
Finally, Chansey fished out a small flag from somewhere and stuck it on top of the sand castle.
"Chansey~"
Chansey gave a scissor hand towards Larvitar.
See, the big job was done!
It's just a sandcastle, it's a piece of cake~
"Lar!"
Larvitar, on the other hand, is looking at Chansey with starry eyes and a face of adoration.
Good, so awesome.
"Huh~"
Aisha couldn't help but laugh out loud as he watched the interaction between the two of them from the top of the recliner.
He twisted his head again to look at the shiny Metang next to him, only to find that this guy had already buried himself within the sand at some unknown time.
Today's sunshine was good, and the beach was just right.
Metang's steel body was buried within the sand, obviously its own handiwork done with Confusion.
"Me-ta..."
The mechanical voice that had little emotion within the past days also took on more of a relaxing tone nowadays.
Shiny Metang was also seriously enjoying this hard-earned leisure time.
"Instructor Ai, would you like a drink?" At this time, Frost Rotom, who had switched into an ice attribute form, floated over to Instructor Ai's side, opened the refrigerator door, revealing an assortment of cold beverages and ice creams inside, and said, "All of these are things prepared for you as well."
"I die when I see an Ice type Pokémon..."
Instructor Ai spat out with dead fish eyes hanging, after which, he suddenly revealed a bright smile and said, "But, today is excepted."
Saying that, he took away a drink of his favorite flavor.
Chansey, Larvitar, and shiny Metang each took a cup as well.
Then, Frost Rotom was floating towards the rest of its pals who were having fun on the beach.
"Huh?"
Instructor Ai took a look and realized that only one Charmeleon was left on the beach.
Charmeleon looked at the sea in front of it with a sad face.
It was because all the other partners had abandoned it, which was afraid of water and couldn't swim, and threw themselves into the embrace of the sea.
"Boo~ee!"
"Lu!"
Marill and Eevee were frolicking inside the water.
"Jie-!!!"
Shiny Haunter, on the other hand, opened his mouth wide and swallowed an unknown amount of seawater in one gulp, then startled the tourists next to him with his extremely swollen body.
Of course, it was the Caterpie that really scared the others...
A large green worm whose length was no less than the height of an adult floated out inside the water, and I'm afraid there was nothing more breathtaking than this image.
"Mee..."
Caterpie floated comfortably between the cool waters.
Not long after, Marill and Eevee climbed onto it after they got tired of playing.
Caterpie was also happy to act as an inflatable boat for its partner.
Only, shiny Haunter's attempt to get on the boat was rejected by it.
"Mee~"
Caterpie shook its head with a bad smile.
Rejecting crumbs Pokémon!
"Jie~"
The Soul Temple Elder was also in tears.
Damn!
In that case, shiny Haunter decisively turned his grief into an appetite and robbed Frost Rotom that was passing by to give Charmeleon a cold drink.
"Jie!"
With an ice cream in one hand and a cold drink in one bite, it finally felt the ultimate pleasure.
Those little guys... and the big guys also climbed onto the shore after having enough fun inside the water, and everyone laughed freely together.
"Everyone, it's been such a hard time."
At the back, Aisha also shook his head helplessly and revealed a smile.
Only yesterday, everyone had experienced a very grueling group battle at Grampa Canyon, and it only made sense to relax now.
Besides, he was a bit tired himself...
"Ah~"
Instructor Ai simply lay down on top of the recliner as well, not thinking about anything else.
However, after not thinking about the Gym Challenge, Blue, and Indigo Plateau Conference, strange thoughts gradually came to his mind.
For example...
"If Cynthia hadn't gone back to Sinnoh in the first place, the two of us would have been able to travel together, and it must have been a different feeling when we got over here."
Aisha chanted about Cynthia.
Although it was said that they hadn't known each other for a long time, the relationship between this Sinnoh Champion and Instructor Ai was very good.
The two chatted with each other, and their personalities and behaviors were to each other's liking.
At that time, they even fought side by side several times.
Besides...
"Hmm."
Instructor Ai unconsciously touched his face, the place that Cynthia had specially kissed when she parted from him.
"I want to see Miss Cynthia's swimsuit!"
...
Sinnoh area, Celestic Town.
This is a town that has inherited the "past".
It has a small population, mostly from one family, and is considered small in size in the Sinnoh region.
However, Celestic Town is a household name in Sinnoh.
There is no other reason, the League Champion of Sinnoh, Cynthia, the so-called Valkyrie of the Battlefield, was born in Celestic Town.
This town that carried a lost myth had reappeared in people's eyes because of the champion's appearance.
"Hmm..."
Within the ruins in the center of Celestic Town, Cynthia was wandering around within the ruins while holding her book and monuments.
On top of the walls of the ruins were murals of Legendary Pokémon painted.
They were the legends of the gods of the lake that had been passed down from the ancient times in the Sinnoh region, namely, Mesprit, Uxie, and Yakunom, commonly known as the "
"Myths, how marvelous."
Cynthia sighed many times as she looked at the contents of the murals and the inscriptions on them.
Probably due to her background and upbringing, as a trainer, Cynthia was very interested in myths, legends, and history.
As a result, archaeology and mythologists have become her sideline.
In her spare time, Cynthia would study ancient languages.
Therefore, she would return to Celestic Town every now and then to visit the ruins and try to gain some new information.
"Well~"
After re-surfacing the mythology of the Gods of the Lake, Cynthia ruffled her hair and sat down on top of the stones of the ruins.
She had been looking at the murals of the Gods of the Lake for almost twenty years.
The renewed interest was because Cynthia had gathered some special information.
"Celestic Town... when it was said to be the oldest town in the Sinnoh region, Celestic Town existed when the Sinnoh lands first existed." She muttered, flipping through the ancient books, saying: "However, in recent times, archaeologists and historians have unearthed information about 'Hisui', that is, the former Sinnoh region, and recorded that Celestic Town did not seem to exist in Hisui."
She flipped through the ancient books, which depicted paintings of ruins and mountain passes.
"However, the town and people of 'Celestica' do exist in the Hisui region."
Cynthia's eyes twinkled.
This means that the claim that Celestic Town is the oldest town may derive from the history of Celestica, which died out at one point.
There are Celestica Ruins, Celestica Trail, and other sites named "Celestica" in the Hisui region, and the original site of Celestica Town may have been located near these sites.
As for Celestic Town, it is possible that Celestica's survivors picked a new location and rebuilt the town.
"History, it's amazing."
Cynthia closed the ancient book and looked at the crumbling walls of the ruins.
Such crumbling ruins might once have been temples with thousands of worshippers and gods in residence.
She, as an archaeologist, then assumed the responsibility of unearthing the secrets of yesteryear for future generations to understand.
"I wish I could see the Sinnoh... the Hisui region was really this scenic."
Cynthia's exclamation echoed within the ruins.
She also collected her things and walked out of the ruins.
It was at this exact moment that a call reached her cell phone above.
"Uh, hello, this is Cynthia."
Cynthia picked up the phone.
The person over there reported something.
"What?" Cynthia froze and said, "You said that Hunter J has fallen in the Kanto region, and the trainer who captured her is called Aisha?"
Her expression was wonderful.
Hunter J was mainly active in the Sinnoh region, and because of her cunning, Cynthia had once had a headache over this guy.
As a result, she didn't expect her to fall into the hands of Instructor Ai.
"Really..."
After hanging up the phone, Cynthia was a little bit in tears for a moment.
During this period of time, because of her busy work schedule, she hadn't thought about Aisha that intensely, and this brat had just given her a big job.
How to say?
One could only say that it was worthy of being Instructor Ai.
"Aisha..."
Pronouncing his name, Cynthia couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her lips.
It was as if that touch still lingered on top of her cherry lips.
After that, Cynthia smiled brightly.
"This time, after solving Hunter J, we can properly reward Instructor Ai~"
