The Idea to Gather the Treasures of Ruin
"Right."
Summer's voice came from the receiver of the phone, and with her lazy and pleasant voice, she asked an unanswered question, saying, "During this time, Chien-Pao, how do you feel about using it?"
"Huh?"
Instructor Ai froze for a moment.
"Chien-Pao?"
Repeating his good partner's name, he also subconsciously glanced at the Poké ball containing Chien-Pao.
In fact, Chien-Pao was his third Pokémon.
Back then, this Snow Leopard had somehow taken a liking to him on 'Mt. Chien', and then somehow started a perfunctory test, which successfully pissed off both himself and Caterpie, so much so that Caterpie started its own evolution for the first time, and evolved into Rayquaza to give it a serious dose of strength.
That time, Chien-Pao got enough beatings to last it a lifetime.
So badly injured that Chien-Pao kept its Bronze Sword form for quite some time, and now, even after months of healing, it still won't turn back into a leopard.
It's sad.
Caterpie's temperament is very good.
But this leopard is scared to death of it.
Besides, I should thank Chien-Pao.
If it wasn't for it to find Caterpie, he wouldn't have known when Caterpie would be able to evolve on its own.
Likewise, if Chien-Pao hadn't tested him, he wouldn't have met Summer...
No way!
Miss top one is a precious person to me.
Without her, I wouldn't have met Steven, Lance, Wallace, and the others.
If that's the case, I'll have no problem taking on a Groudon with just Rayquaza, but Primal Kyogre is no match for her.
If there's only one Rayquaza, if that big whale gives him an Ice Beam, he and Rayquaza will be able to take their hands off the keyboard and stop thinking.
Oh...
Thanks to Snow Leopard.
Without Chien-Pao, I wouldn't have been able to do this.
"It feels good, it must be good, I love Chien-Pao!"
Instructor Ai didn't hesitate to respond to Summer's words.
This is the truth.
When he was hacking with Chien-Pao, his hands were really good.
He used Chien-Pao to hack his way from Dayan to Hoenn, from Hoenn to Kanto, and even beat the legendary Keldeo and the Three Swordsmen in Unova.
Did he feel good with using Chien-Pao?
Yes, he did!
Archie, Carr are the ones he's chopped up with his Chien-Pao.
They can't ask, but Sabrina, as the first trainer to experience Instructor Ai's Calamity Attack, can answer that question.
Unfortunately... Instructor Ai was going to chop Second Generation Mewtwo with Chien-Pao.
But Second Generation Mewtwo is a good child , so he couldn't do it.
In that case, I'll find an excuse to cut Mew, but since Mew can't be killed, it doesn't matter if I cut it.
"Uh-huh."
Summer, on the other side of the phone, obviously didn't know what Instructor Ai was thinking.
After listening to Aisha's words, there was a feeling of satisfaction between her words.
She worded it, saying, "I said before that my family has a connection with Treasures of Ruin, right?"
"Yes, if you hadn't reminded me, I might not have dared to take Chien-Pao."
Instructor Ai's tone was also filled with gratitude.
There are some Pokémon that are very evil, such as some of the Ghost-type Pokémon.
If a trainer takes these guys in, it could lead to bad things.
Instructor Ai's purity was not as high as it is today.
If Summer hadn't reminded Instructor Ai that he was recognized by Chien-Pao, and that he wouldn't be affected by the Treasures of Ruin after passing Chien-Pao's trials, Instructor Ai might have lost this powerful Second-level Legendary Pokémon... And a good weapon.
"I'm glad you have a conscience..."
Summer's words were filled with joy.
Apparently, the head of Dayan's Elite Four was satisfied that Instructor Ai had been thinking of her.
So, she told her new discovery, saying: "During this period of time, when I had nothing to do, I was rummaging around in the study of my family's old mansion, and I found out some documents that recorded the information of Treasures of Ruin, and it turned out that I really did find out some valuable information in these books."
"What?"
"Legend has it that a person who has assembled all four Treasures of Ruin will gain an unimaginable power..."
"Oh?"
Aisha was stunned.
He had the idea of collecting all four pieces of Treasures of Ruin, but to his surprise, Summer had actually found a document about it.
"This is a team effect?"
"You think this is a game?" Summer snapped at Aisha.
Aisha laughed.
After that, Summer continued to talk about her findings, saying, "That, and the fact that the four Treasures of Ruin have a certain degree of interoperability with each other... For example, the person who approves of them, this is also recorded in the literature related to the 'Collecting all four Treasures of Ruin', which probably means that the person who has obtained the approval of one of the Treasures of Ruin will have an increased likelihood of obtaining the approval of the other three Treasures of Ruin as well."
"What do you mean..."
Listening to the call, Aisha showed a thoughtful expression.
"Let me try to collect the other three Treasures of Ruin?"
"Well, you've been using Chien-Pao for so long, surely you're even how strong this guy is, right?"
"Uh-huh."
Instructor Ai had to admit it.
Although he had been using Chien-Pao as a weapon the entire time.
However, Treasures of Ruin's versatility as a Pokémon was undeniably high.
Sword of Ruin, Jade of Ruin, Scroll of Ruin, and
Wo-Chien is a good addition to their output and durability, but let's not forget about Wo-Chien.
The other three Treasures of Ruin are the worst Pokémon of Generation 9.
Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu are the ones with the highest output.
Chien-Pao and Chi-Yu have high outputs, and Ting-Lu, who is so hard you can't even hit it, and has a move like Fissure, is even heavier.
If someone could get all four of these Pokémon into their hands, and use all four Treasures of Ruin together in a battle... that would be a beautiful sight.
"Hmm..."
Instructor Ai looked thoughtful.
For him who had unlocked Chien-Pao's weapon form and its usage, these Treasures of Ruin were undeniably tempting.
He really wanted to know, when he was holding Chien-Pao, wearing Chi-Yu at his waist, stepping on Ting-Lu, and holding Wo-Chien in his hand, to what extent would his combat power be increased?
How powerful is that so-called "unimaginable power"?
Can you touch the First-level Legendary Pokémon?
"How about it?"
Summer could hear a hint of excitement in Aisha's voice.
At that moment, she also teased Aisha with a bad smile, saying, "Are you excited?"
"Really moved."
Instructor Ai responded to Summer's question honestly.
Summer laughed out loud.
"I knew it!"
"It's you... you're the one who poked me right in the face."
"How else can I be your No. one sister?"
Summer was probably flipping through a book on the other end of the line, and Aisha heard the sound of pages turning outside her words.
After a moment of silence, she dropped a bombshell, saying, "If the documents are correct, then, like Chien-Pao, the other three Treasures of Ruin must have their own hiding places in the Dayan region, and they are not difficult to find."
"Chien-Pao is in 'Mt. Chien'..."
Instructor Ai recited the name of the place where he had practiced for the first time, and said, "If Chi-Yu, Wo-Chien and Ting-Lu's hideouts are also wild landscapes that are generously named with prefixes such as 'Yu', 'Wo', and 'Lu', then it's really not that hard to find."
"Indeed."
Instructor Ai remembered the way the four Treasures of Ruin were collected in the 9th generation game.
You had to listen to lectures and take exams at school, while running around the Paldea region area, searching for the 32 wooden stakes that sealed these four Pokémon, and pulling them out before you could free them.
Instructor Ai, who was playing the game at the time, had his blood pressure go up so many times that he had to use a strategy guide to complete this part of the game.
In contrast, it's much easier to get them in the Dayan area by simply receiving approval and passing the trial.
"OK."
Summer over there seemed to have closed the book, and the book made a dull sound.
"I'll keep an eye out for the hiding places of the other three Treasures of Ruin, so don't worry about it."
"And then..." Summer smiled, said: "This Indigo Plateau Conference, you give me a beautiful win, after you come back, I will take you to beautifully subdue the three remaining Treasures of Ruin, when the four Treasures of Ruin are really gathered, I would like to see with my own eyes, the so-called 'unimaginable power'."
"Thank you, Miss Summer."
"If I say you're welcome, I mean you're welcome." Summer complained in a disgruntled manner, saying: "Even if I help you a little bit all day long, you have to thank me so diligently, as if we have a distant relationship, if you keep saying thank you, then I won't be your brother."
She gave a very arrogant hum.
After that, the words were full of laughter.
"It's good for me that you're getting stronger, too."
"What?" Instructor Ai naturally took over her topic and said, "Is your family urging you to get married?"
"That's not true."
Summer pretended to sigh, said: "So, you have to work harder~"
"Okay."
"OK, then I'll stop beating around the bushes."
"You and Blue must be tired after winning the battle, and since the trip is over, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a proper rest." Summer a little nagging instructions, said: "Hang up, do not bother you!"
"Well, if it's not possible, it's not like I can't play Elite Four with Rayquaza."
"Then my coworkers will hate me."
They laughed and hung up.
Instructor Ai put away his cell phone, turned his head with a smile, and saw Blue and Lorelei looking at him with ambiguous faces.
"What, what?"
"Ai-kun and Miss Summer are really close~"
"Yeah, talking and laughing on the phone for so long, I'm jealous too."
The two of them made fun of Aisha.
They couldn't hear what Aisha and Summer were talking about from a distance, but the smile on Aisha's face when he was talking to Summer was real.
Blue was reminded of the time when he first met Instructor Ai, when Summer was so protective of Instructor Ai that she was afraid that he would poach Instructor Ai from Dayan and bring him to Kanto.
"Hey."
Blue shook his head, feeling particularly envious of Summer having a confidante like Aisha.
Speaking of which, there were quite a few powerful trainers in pairs.
That stupid couple in Hoenn who were also pokédex holder was one such case... and so were their masters, Wallace and Winona.
Then, Blue realized he was still single after all this time.
And then, the sadness set in.
"Hey..."
Sighing again, Blue looked at Lorelei beside him.
Oh, no more sadness.
Compared to himself, Lorelei is the real single dog.
"Huh?"
Lorelei frowned sharply.
She was very sensitive to Blue's eyes, and her expression immediately turned dangerous.
"Blue, were you just, uh, thinking about something really rude?"
"No, no, not at all!"
Blue quickly waved his hand and stepped back, away from the Ice Witch.
Lorelei's strength was not as good as his, but, she had too many ways of torturing people.
He really didn't want to learn the terror of the "Ice Doll"...
"Uh-huh."
Lorelei nodded, and when she turned her head to Aisha, her face quickly changed into a gentle smile, and Blue's eyes jumped when she saw how quickly her attitude changed.
"As a congratulatory gift for Ai's collection of eight badges, I have prepared a gift for you."
"Gift?"
"Uh-huh... I'll make you happy!"
Lorelei giggled.
Blue was right.
Lorelei was indeed planning to take Green's lost bet to herself, as a gift to Instructor Ai.
Now Green was in deep trouble, he lost something, and the gift was a favor from Lorelei.
"Don't refuse it... consider it a favor from your sister."
"Okay, let's do it..."
"Okay, you two stop talking."
Blue walked up, took Instructor Ai's shoulder, and said, "We should go to the Pokémon Center to recover our Pokémon's strength, and ask Nurse Joy over there about the time of the Indigo Plateau Conference, as well as some of the things we need to pay attention to."
"Okay."
Aisha nodded.
"What about you?" Blue looked to Lorelei, and said, "Do you want to come?"
"No."
Lorelei waved her hand.
She waved her hand. With a helpless look, she said, "As you know, the Indigo Plateau Conference is just around the corner, and Johto's Silver Conference will be held next door, the League has a lot of work to do during this period of time. Lance and Bruno, as the two regional Elite Four and Champion, are very busy and dying of overwork, so Grandma Agatha and I can't just let them die, so we have to help out a little bit."
"I came out to see you two at the Gym Challenge today, and I'm just busy enough to get a lecture from Lance when I get back."
Lorelei sighed.
"Yeah..."
"You don't have to, you just came back from Alola, in a few days, maybe the League's mission for you will arrive, and you'll die of overwork with us!"
"Then I'd better go back to Alola..."
Blue put on a mask of pain.
He really didn't want to work.
"Don't you run away, none of you Gym Leaders, all those diggers, water showers, perfume sellers are coming to work with me!" Lorelei complained bitterly, then sighed and followed Aisha and Blue out of the Viridian Gym.
"Well, I'm off."
Lorelei once again took her Pelipper and flew up to the sky.
Instructor Ai and Blue walked towards the Pokémon Center.
Along the way, many people were looking at them.
There was a mixture of respect, scrutiny, and skepticism.
However, most of them were still respecting the powerful trainers.
It seemed that the effect of Instructor Ai's live broadcast had spread, and many people, including the natives of Viridian City, knew about Blue's defeat to Aisha.
In response, Blue's face remained unchanged.
That's the way it is with the so-called champions...
He had a three-minute champion title on his head, so it didn't hurt that he lost to Instructor Ai.
After entering the Pokémon Center, there were even more stares from all directions.
The people gathered here were all Pokémon trainers, and naturally they knew Aisha and Blue.
As soon as they entered, many people came to ask Blue for autographs.
Blue was generous enough to fulfill everyone's wishes.
However, what surprised Instructor Ai was that he, who had always been unrecognizable offline unless there was a special match, actually had a few fans who wanted to sign autographs and take pictures with him this time.
"Eh..."
Instructor Ai was a bit unfamiliar with them, awkwardly gave them autographs, and after taking a picture with each of them, Blue teasingly hooked his neck.
"Hey~ Ai-kun, how does it feel to be a celebrity?"
"It's kind of weird..."
Aisha said honestly with a helpless face.
Blue, on the other hand, laughed even more, and showed a look of seniority.
"Well, you'll have to get used to it, or else, you'll be in for a real treat in the future."
"Indeed..."
At those words, Instructor Ai also put away the helplessness on his face.
Nowadays, he was at least a big anchor, and his ability to interact with his fans offline must not fall off.
"Oh, isn't this Instructor Ai?"
Viridian City's Nurse Joy arrived in front of them.
She looked at Aisha with a smile on her face and said, "The last time we met, Instructor Instructor Aisha was just about to sign up for the Indigo Plateau Conference, but this time, Instructor Ai not only collected all the eight badges needed to participate in the Indigo Plateau Conference, but he even defeated our brilliant Viridian Gym Leader. Even after defeating our valiant Viridian Gym Leader, he collected all the badges."
"Hey..."
Instructor Ai himself didn't react, but Blue, who had always taken his failures in stride, did.
He was so embarrassed that he couldn't help himself, saying, "Sister Joy, don't make fun of me."
"I don't know who said he would never lose?"
"Hey..."
Blue showed a downcast look.
Nurse Joy also shook her head helplessly.
"Blissey~"
Her Blissey came up.
Nurse Joy, on the other hand, held out her hand in a nonchalant manner.
"Here, give us your Pokémon ball." When she turned her head to Instructor Ai, she smiled brightly again, and said, "And Instructor Ai too, thanks for your hard work."
"Good."
"Good..."
Aisha and Blue each took out five or six Poké balls one after the other, and handed them to Nurse Joy.
Nurse Joy and Blissey carried two trays and walked into backstage of the Pokémon Center.
"Nurse Joy's attitude towards you is a bit bad, isn't it?"
After seeing Nurse Joy leave, Aisha looked at Blue with curiosity.
Blue scratched his head and said, "It's not bad, it's mainly because of some conflicts that happened before."
Blue began to tell the story.
The short story was that when Blue first took up the position of Gym Leader of Viridian Gym, there were a lot of challengers who came to the gym.
Some of these challengers were fans who simply admired Blue, while others were ill-intentioned, trying to make a name for themselves by stepping on Blue's name.
However, at that time, the immature Blue, true to his style when he was still a simple casual trainer, defeated all of these door-to-door trainers without mercy, so much so that for a month, not a single one of them was able to get an Earth Badge from him.
Naturally, Blue received complaints from some of the trainers.
The first person to come to Blue's door was Viridian City's Nurse Joy.
When Blue meets Nurse Joy, who is tired of hearing complaints, the two of them have some problems.
In the end, Blue realizes his mistake, but his quarrel with Nurse Joy is over.
The two of them don't have any more conflicts, but, when they meet, Nurse Joy can't escape choking Blue a bit.
Blue, because of his own problems, did not refute.
"To be honest, this Joy is really something."
Sitting in the rest area of the Pokémon Center, Blue said with a look of emotion, "She's got a bad temper, but she has her own unique views on the care of Pokémon's bodies, as well as Pokémon's conditioning and nurturing, especially the breeding of Chansey and Clefable, which are a bit... uh."
Blue lowered his voice, and glanced around.
After making sure Nurse Joy couldn't hear him, he continued.
"Kind of a dirty Pokémon."
"Oh?"
Instructor Ai became interested.
No wonder, this Nurse Joy had asked her to post a battle video about the Blissey family.
As it turns out, she was a user of the pink demon.
"Hmm... I remember, Ai-kun, you also have a Chansey, right?"
"Yes."
"And this Chansey is the Pokémon she gave me." Instructor Ai added.
"True enough..."
Blue shook his head, and said, "One thing's for sure, if you're planning to evolve Chansey, you can consult her."
"Consult?"
"Well, for Pokémon such as Chansey that evolve with density, there are some deeper things that need to be paid attention to when they evolve, and this Nurse Joy is a master of breeding Blissey, she is also one of the few people who bred Chansey as a Battle Pokémon just like you did, so there's nothing wrong with consulting her if you want to evolve Chansey. It's definitely a good idea to consult her if you want to evolve Chansey."
"I see..."
Instructor Ai nodded thoughtfully.
Even if Chansey didn't evolve, it could still use Evolite to fight.
However, he had seriously asked his Chansey's opinion on whether or not to evolve.
Chansey's answer was yes.
In that case, a consultation with Nurse Joy seemed necessary for the perfect evolution of the family's nanny-cook.
"What are you talking about?"
Speak of the devil.
Nurse Joy and her Blissey approached them with two trays.
Nurse Joy handed Instructor Ai the tray with the five Pokémon balls on it, saying, "Instructor Ai, your Pokémon have recovered."
"Thank you, Nurse Joy."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do."
"Blissey~"
At the same time, Blissey returned Blue's Pokémon.
Instructor Ai took the opportunity to observe Nurse Joy's Blissey.
He realized that this Blissey was really well-bred.
The egg's demeanor, body shape, and development were all well maintained and developed.
Moreover, Blissey's eyes were soft, but there was an imperceptible sharpness in them.
This is the unique look of a battle Pokémon.
It seems that this Blissey is also Nurse Joy's right-hand man.
"I told Instructor Ai about your secret method of breeding Blissey, sister Joy."
Blue's response was quick, he made his way down to Aisha's needs.
"Instructor Ai's Chansey looks like it needs to be prepared for evolution, I was thinking, if he's going to properly evolve Chansey, would it be better to ask miss Joy for advice on evolving Chansey."
"Well..."
Nurse Joy pondered seriously for a moment, saying, "Indeed, this is something I did wrong."
"I clearly sent out Chansey, and as a result, I didn't give Instructor Ai a piece of our Joy family's experience in nurturing Chansey."
She shook her head with a bit of annoyance, and then, looking towards Aisha with a hint of shame and apology in her eyes, she said, "Instructor Ai, don't worry, later on, I'll put together the detailed breeding plans for Chansey and Blissey, as well as my personal opinions on the breeding of these Pokémon, and the matters to be paid attention to when Chansey evolves into Blissey, and send it to you in a file on the Line."
"Uh..."
"Don't refuse." Nurse Joy blocked Aisha's words.
Then, she sighed.
"As a matter of fact, I should also give this information to Instructor Ai."
"Oh?" Blue became interested, and said, "Ai-kun's video of the Pink Demon really seemed to help you a lot?"
"Uh-huh."
Nurse Joy nodded.
"I have to say, Instructor Ai's influence is real, since you sent out that Pink Demon battle instruction video, many of the Joys in our family, who were originally of the mindset that 'Pokémon like Chansey can only be used for healing', seemed to be enlightened, not only did they open up their minds, but their interest in training Pokémon and learning tactics was also astonishingly high. ."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Yes, that's why I thank Instructor Ai."
"Before, our Joy family was just a vase family in charge of healing in the eyes of outsiders." Nurse Joy revealed a grateful smile and said, "Now, no one dares to look down on us."
"Not only that, the frequency of people going to the Pokémon Center to cause trouble has also decreased... after learning the tactics Instructor Ai has spread, the combat power of almost every Chansey and Joy has been greatly improved and secured, and some of them are even stronger than the security guards."
When she said that, Instructor Ai also remembered.
Once during a live broadcast, a Nurse Joy who worked at a Pokémon Center in a remote town said that she used Chansey's army to fight off the Team Rocket grunts.
Instructor Ai didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now he thinks it might be true.
In that case, I've inadvertently done something good for the community.
Nurse Joy didn't talk to Aisha and Blue for long.
The work at the Pokémon Center wasn't easy all day long, so she sat down for a while and went right back to her work.
So did Blue.
He's been away for a month on assignment, and today he had a live broadcast of the Gym Challenge with Instructor Ai, so there are bound to be a lot of people choosing to challenge the Viridian Gym, so after sitting and chatting with Instructor Ai for a while at the Pokémon Center, he also rushed back to the gym.
Now, Instructor Ai was left sitting here alone.
However, he was happy to do so.
Because, now he had something to test.
"Hmm."
Aisha took out a box and placed it on the table.
Opening it, the box contained a spherical stone - a crystal clear light blue stone encased in an orange and white blade.
This was the Mega Evolution Stone, Metagross' Mega Evolution Stone.
After Instructor Ai defeated Blue and completed the challenge of the eight dojos in the Kanto region, the system rewarded him with a Mega Evolution Stone of his choice.
Instructor Ai chose Metagross without hesitation.
There was no other reason, shiny Mega Metagross was too handsome and too strong!
Who could resist a shiny Mega Metagross?
Although his own shiny Metang hadn't evolved yet, it wouldn't be a bad thing to prepare in advance.
Besides... Didn't Charmeleon evolve into Charizard?
"Well, let's find a place to test it, Charizard's Mega has evolved!"
Holding the colorful Key Stone, Instructor Ai left the Pokémon Center.
