Rainbow Feather and Silver Feather

"Interesting."

"Caitlin..."

Inside Giovanni's hospital room, Giovanni, whose body was wrapped in bandages, only revealing a pair of eyes and his hair, came to Lance's side, and both of them were staring at the live broadcast, watching with great interest.

"Caitlin." Lance recited Caitlin's name silently and said, "If I remember correctly, I think she's one of Unova's Elite Four, specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon."

"You're a champion, and you have to think before you recognize an Elite Four from another region?"

Giovanni glanced at Lance, mocking him for his negligence.

Lance, not one to take kindly to Giovanni, spread his hands and said, "No, what's it got to do with me?"

"There's something special about this woman, the whole League obeys her, she doesn't work unless she wants to!"

"I'm so busy all day long, if she did work, I'd remember, but how do you expect me to remember her?" Lance told his impression of Caitlin.

"Oh... there are guys like that in the League."

Giovanni was lost in thought.

After that, he gave up thinking, watched Instructor Ai's teaming and maneuvering on the live screen, and sent out a sharp comment, saying, "I'll give you one thing, he's doing a good job of Nidoking, he's got a little bit of me in him."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Lance looked at Giovanni with a bewildered look on his face, saying, "Isn't this operation just a high-firepower Nidoking that's raging with output?"

"Yes."

Giovanni confidently responded to Lance's question, saying: "The so-called 'Secret of the Earth' is all-encompassing. When placed on Nidoking, it is the most powerful and powerful skill. The Nidoking trained with 'Secret of the Earth' is speed. After pushing the output to the extreme, relying on strong defense to carry out simple and crude bombings, killing the enemy instantly with one shot, without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, the final word is decisive, and the victory is decided neatly."

"..."

Lance was speechless.

"You're too good for your own good, aren't you?"

"Well, according to you." Lance and Giovanni argued, saying, "The world's high-firepower output tactics and Pokémon all have your flavor, don't they?"

"Yes."

Giovanni still had a straight face.

He didn't think there was any problem with what he said, instead he looked at Lance with a puzzled expression and said, "All the Upaniṣad in the world are similar techniques, the essence of which cannot be separated from the reinforcement of the Pokémon's own quality, and all the Upaniṣad are also based on the foundation of sufficiently powerful Pokémon strength, and the quality of the Pokémon themselves is even more excessively high in the 'Secret of the Earth'!"

"Really shameless..."

Lance was speechless.

However, he took Giovanni's words to heart.

All the Upaniṣad in the world were similar, and the essence was the strength of the Pokémon itself...

That's true.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, Blue inherited your 'Secret of the Earth', right?"

"Blue?" Giovanni's mind flashed to the figure of a brown hedgehog.

"Oh, that boy, yes."

He admitted his relationship with Blue as both mentor and enemy, without a trace of secrecy.

At the mention of Blue, Giovanni's eyes flashed with regret.

"That kid has excellent talent, not only has he mastered my 'Secret of the Earth', he has even made many improvements and advancements on top of it, if not for our different stances, he and I might have become a pair of like-minded friends."

"But when Blue used the Nidoking bred by 'Secret of the Earth' against Ai-kun, he lost to his newly bred Pokémon."

"Huh?" Giovanni frowned and turned his head.

Then, a crisp bone crack sounded from his neck.

Giovanni's body froze on the bed, wrapped in bandages like a Kakuna, and the words he wanted to say were forgotten.

Lance: "..."

Lance stifles a laugh.

Giovanni, who was sweating coldly, showed his poise and style, and said, "There is always someone stronger, and 'Secret of the Earth' lost to a First-level Legendary Pokémon trainer, so it's not a bad thing... I've seen a few of the Pokémon bred by that kid, and he does have something, his Charizard and Rotom don't look like they were bred by normal means."

"Uh-huh." Lance thought.

He thought that Instructor Ai would be able to breed an incredibly powerful Extreme Speed Dratini in the future if he took the Extreme Speed Dratini he gave him.

"Eh, here we go."

"Uh, I'll take a look."

Giovanni poked his face out, and Lance held his cell phone.

On the live feed, the battle between Instructor and Caitlin began.

...

Unova Region, Unova League.

Inside Caitlin's private room, a young girl's laughter came out.

"Ha~ I caught you!"

Caitlin, who was in front of the computer, with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, obviously not having slept well, poked out her furry little head, and looked at the game's interface with a face of triumph, and her account was matched with Aisha in the same match - it was not in vain for her to stare at Aisha's live stream and being a stream sniper.

"Well, let's play!"

Caitlin smiled as she turned off Aisha's stream.

She didn't care about cheating in a sparring match.

If it was to test this person's strength, then it had to be a fair fight!

"Tailwind?"

After reading the style of the team Instructor Ai was playing, Caitlin grunted with a happy face, saying, "Let's see me use your natural enemy against you!"

The battle began.

Within the game screen, Instructor Ai sent out the smiling Whimsicott first.

Caitlin was furious at Whimsicott's adorable smile.

Caitlin didn't know why she was so angry, but she just knew that she didn't feel good when she saw this Pokémon.

Caitlin released Gothitelle.

"Trick Room!"

Caitlin, who was playing Trick Room Team, didn't hesitate to click on Trick Room's move.

However, Whimsicott on Instructor Ai's side utilized the Prankster's feature and used Taunt before it.

Gothitelle waved its hand in the air, but in the end, it was useless.

The smile on Whimsicott's face widens.

Caitlin: "..."

Now that the Trick Room can't be opened, she has to fight.

Anyway, she had more than one Trick Room Pokémon on her side, so once she got rid of this disgusting Whimsicott, the spare Trick Room player in the back row would be able to open a Trick Room as well.

So, Caitlin clicked Psyshock with a black face.

"Woo!"

Over there, Whimsicott managed to pull off the classic Tailwind with the help of the Prankster.

"Goth!"

Gothitelle, who had a purple face full of irritation, sent out a fierce Spirit Wave that hit Whimsicott's body.

Whimsicott's stamina instantly went down, however, he still had a trace of blood left.

That's thanks to Focus Sash.

Caitlin's blood pressure rose.

What's going on?

Why don't you get the hell out of here after Tailwind?

Don't be a pain in the ass on the field!

"Gothitelle, blow it up!"

"Goth!"

Gothitelle is ready to go, and the Psyshock is brewing fast.

On the other side, Instructor and Whimsicott were telling them - I don't need a ride, I'm going down alone.

"Woo!"

Whimsicott spun around, a gift box in its arms.

After tossing the gift box to Gothitelle, its eyes turned into coiled eyes, and it lost ts ability to fight.

The gift box that landed in front of Gothitelle was opened, and the sound of the ribbon exploding startled Gothitelle.

Gothitelle's Attack and Special Attack dropped by two levels each.

"Huh?"

Caitlin looked confused.

This... Aisha was commanding Whimsicott, who was down to one blood, to destroy her Gothitelle?

You're going to play like that with one blood left?

What are you doing with your heart?

"Roar!"

While Caitlin was inwardly amazed, Instructor Ai's general, Nidoking, came roaring out.

Gothitelle slams the brewing Psyshock into Nidoking's chest, who rubs his chest, apparently unharmed.

Oh no, that's bad.

As Caitlin's mind wanders, Nidoking roars into the game screen and uses Earth Power.

Gothitelle died on the spot.

Bronzong didn't even get a chance to open Trick Room, and with Tailwind, Nidoking took advantage of the opportunity to kill it with a Flamethrower.

The Reuniclus behind it did the same, and was left in a miserable state.

Caitlin: "..."

Caitlin is speechless.

She was so excited to see what Aisha could do.

In the end, she was defeated from start to finish.

Trick Room Team had a huge advantage over Tailwind Team, but now, due to her own negligence, Gothitelle had taken Whimsicott's Taunt, leading to a complete collapse.

"That's a shameful way to lose... It's brainless!"

Slumped over her computer desk, Caitlin grabbed her hair and rubbed her white fingers together.

Her tone of voice was also extremely upset and embarrassed.

At this exact moment, her cell phone jumped to Instructor Ai's live page, and Instructor Ai's words to her fans also reached Caitlin's ears.

"The Tailwind Team faced off against the Trick Room Team. The first task was to prevent the opponent's Pokémon from opening the Trick Room. When our Whimsicott had Taunt, we used Prankster to catch the opponent in the singles battle and prevent it from opening the Trick Room was easy. I don't know if the player on the other side was confused. She pointed Psyshock at Whimsicott... Oh, it can do nothing without Psyshock. That's fine. But why did she do it at Whimsicott? I really can't understand Gothitelle who doesn't have the ability to counter Whimsicott."

"Could it be true love aunt?"

Caitlin: "..."

Caitlin, who had been just a little depressed, heard Instructor Ai's words, and her blood pressure went through the roof.

She knew she'd been stupid, but losing and getting whipped was really hard.

"Ah, no!"

Caitlin snapped her head up and started the match.

"No, a little abuse, a little relaxation!"

...

Kanto region, Pallet Town, Oak Research Institute.

"Huh?"

After Instructor Ai had beaten Caitlin for a few games, he looked at the game's screen and saw that he was once again matched with his own blonde lady, and fell into a deep thought.

"Laughing my ass off, what kind of smart match is this?"

"The main reason is that there are only people at this level, and there aren't many people at this level, so the chances of repeating the match are not low."

"Instructor Ai is not trying to beat the Young Lady again?"

The barrage all looked like they were watching the whole thing.

Instructor Ai was looking at Caitlin's avatar, deep in thought.

After a few seconds, he said to his friends, "Do you want to see a dirty trick?"

His words caused a thousand waves.

The number of barrage on the public screen instantly spiked several times.

"I told you Instructor Ai is still the God of Dirty Tricks, he'll never turn his back on his favorite Dirty Tricks, Amen!"

"Instructor Ai has returned to his faithful Dirty Tricks pantheon."

"Instructor Ai Taunt's double attack on Gothitelle Trick Room, which was a parting gift from Taunt, has made my DNA move, Instructor Ai Instructor really understands what his viewers want to see!"

"One thing's for sure, although Tailwind Team's firepower is really cool, Instructor Ai's live broadcasts really can't get away from the Dirty Routine."

"Instructor Ai is to Dirty Routine as Lance is to Cloak, Steven is to Stone, and Diantha is to Acting!"

After reading the words on the screen, Instructor Ai just laughed and didn't say anything.

He started to change his team.

Logically, Caitlin had taken a beating, so he probably changed his team.

However, it didn't matter.

Whimsicott Tailwind Team, no matter who the fighters changed to, Whimsicott's idea of being the centerpiece would always be the same.

And if Caitlin dared to go all Gothitelle on him, he'd still be Taunt dirty.

"Uh, okay."

After some maneuvering, Instructor Ai replaced Nidoking and Arcanine with Umbreon and Porygon 2.

"OK."

Instructor Ai adjusted his team and accepted Caitlin's second challenge.

It's not easy to find such a cute and cuddly girl, and this is the best program ever.

After beating her twice, the material for the video is done.

We'll beat Iono a couple more times if we can't.

"Okay, let's fight!"

Let's fight!

Caitlin's first Pokémon is still Gothitelle.

Instructor Ai's side is still Whimsicott.

The two Pokémon were staring at each other.

Whimsicott was smiling brightly, while Gothitelle was grimacing.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Instructor Ai said yes three times in a row.

Two consecutive matches, with the same team.

Caitlin was definitely qualified as a counterpart to the tactics video and as an opponent.

This person is not intentionally giving me a program effect - Instructor Ai thought to himself.

I don't care!

I can't let her down!

Whimsicott, Taunt!

However, Caitlin on the other side of the room might be numb.

After Instructor Ai used Taunt, Gothitelle stopped moving.

After ten seconds or so, Gothitelle, as if resigned to her fate, builds up her Psyshock energy.

Taunt, Gothitelle's variations are blocked.

Psyshock, hit Whimsicott's Focus Sash.

"Woo!"

The dying Whimsicott spins around happily.

A full-blooded Gothitelle looks dead in the water.

In the second round, a smiling Whimsicott happily fired off a Tailwind, and then went to its death.

"Goth..."

Gothitelle's hands covered its chest.

What was clearly a gothic style Pokémon, was now like a nun who had received God's gift, with satisfaction written all over its face.

At least, in this game, it was the one who killed Nasty Cotton.

That being the case, there's nothing to be afraid of...

It's not a bad thing to die!

Then, Instructor Ai switched to Umbreon.

"Huh?"

Caitlin froze.

Then, she showed a look of ecstasy.

She had a Pokémon in her back row that could kill Umbreon!

That's good, there's still a chance to win!

"Yes!"

Caitlin was so excited that she chose to switch.

However, Instructor Ai's Umbreon used Mean Look...

You Shadow Sneak?

I Shadow Sneak!

Gothitelle stays on the field in a daze, facing an Umbreon that it can't defeat in any way.

Umbreon opts for the hardcore, and it goes for the classic Curse.

Gothitelle was scraped.

Umbreon kills Gothitelle with two Crunch.

Caitlin: "..."

Caitlin silently replaces Gothitelle, and sends in her own general against Umbreon, Reuniclus.

"Kill!"

Caitlin chose the Focus Blast move with a murderous look on her face.

The end result was that Umbreon couldn't kill Reuniclus with a single bite, and Reuniclus simply blasted Umbreon to death.

"That's..."

Caitlin became excited.

Aisha had lost two of her greatest generals, and on her side, she had Reuniclus and Bronzong left...

This time, with the same team, but the scales of victory seem to have tipped in her favor?

"Great!"

The blonde Young Lady showed a silly smile.

That is, until Instructor Ai's Porygon2 came on the field.

Caitlin's smile froze as soon as the round pink and blue toy duck appeared.

Tailwind had stopped...

But what's the point?

Even though, Porygon2 only had a pitiful 60 Speed Race Value.

However, Reuniclus's 30 Speed is even worse.

This dead duck coincidentally outruns Reuniclus, and smashes the Shadow Ball.

Shadow Ball, Shadow Ball, Shadow Ball.

It doesn't have much output.

But Reuniclus is even more vulnerable to the Eviolite Porygon2!

Reuniclus is incapacitated.

The Dead Duck floats proudly on the field.

It didn't show any dirty tricks.

Because this Pokémon's existence is a manifestation of the concept of "dirty"!

Caitlin looked at Bronzong in the back row...

What's the point of having a Trick Room at this point?

Give up.

Caitlin voted.

"Yeah?"

Instructor Ai is stunned.

"I'm out of the program?"

There's a lot of excitement on the barrage.

"Instructor Ai be a man!"

"Unova is so pissed off at you, Instructor Ai is golden."

"One thing's for sure, Whimsicott's a nasty Pokémon, and Umbreon and Porygon 2 have a little something to do with it."

"How can you get in Instructor Ai's good books without having some skills?"

"I've learned it, I'll go to the game room and change to Porygon right away."

Instructor Ai smiled and ignored everyone's comments.

He took a look at the time, and felt that it was almost time.

So, he sent a request for a match to Iono, who was also online.

"It's time for traditional arts."

Iono: "?"

...

"Hah!"

Aisha yawned and went downstairs.

Instructor Ai was tired from the hours of live broadcasting.

Just in time, Professor Oak was standing downstairs.

As soon as he saw Aisha coming, Professor Oak immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, saying, "Aisha, there's a good thing!"

"What?"

Aisha was stunned.

"What good thing?" He asked.

"In a week at Lumiose City in the Kalos region, scholars from the research community will be holding a seminar!"

"Oh?"

"And you, as the author of the concept of 'beauty degree', have the same right to go to the symposium and participate in the conference."

"Really?" Instructor Ai was delighted.

He wasn't interested in research, and the release of the 'Beauty Degree' report was just a way to make money with the Beauty Degree Pokéblock.

However, the purpose of the symposium was not just to exchange the research results of the scholars.

In addition to being a platform for scholars to give academic presentations, the seminar also provides an opportunity for scholars to communicate with each other.

All the talented professors and researchers in the field will be there.

Maybe Instructor Ai will have a chance to talk to Professor Platano about Mega Evolution, and he'll be able to do it there.

He might even meet scholars who were studying other systems, such as Z-Move or Mega Evolution.

"How many people will be there?"

Just in case, Aisha asked Professor Oak.

Professor Oak responded to his concern with a smile, saying, "According to previous years' experience, at least all of the famous Professors and researchers from each region will be there."

"Uh-huh!"

Aisha nodded excitedly.

Afterward, he revealed a helpless smile, saying, "Now we're going to have to go out again."

"Just think of it as a break, running around is nothing for a trainer like you, right?"

Professor Oak smiled and patted Aisha's shoulder, his eyes were full of relief, saying, "As a rising star in the research world, it would be a pity for you not to participate in this event, perhaps, many of the people who are planning to go to the seminar at this time are also planning to get to know you as a genius trainer, tactician, and researcher."

"Professor, you're really killing me."

"What's wrong with that?"

Professor Oak's loud and cheerful voice reached the window.

It was obvious that he was really concerned about Aisha's future.

Aisha was touched, but also determined to make a name for himself and repay Professor Oak.

Time passed like this...

One day, two days, three days.

During this time, Instructor Ai edited the Tailwind Team's video and uploaded it to the B website.

Once the video was released, Instructor Ai's fans rushed forward, easily pushing the video to the top 100 of the Hot section.

Instructor Ai 's new fans continue to grow, and his old fans are even more active.

Fighter: "The Tailwind Team's mindset, unlike Instructor Ai's previous Minimize team, Pink Demon and 'Toxic-Protect-Substitute' tactics, as Instructor Ai puts it in the video, is a team that doesn't have any tenderness, and exists solely to output and defeat the enemy, with a simple mindset to the core. The core idea of this tactic is as simple as it can be, that is, after one Pokémon has activated Tailwind, it will be handed over to the rest of the Pokémon with high firepower for output, and Tailwind ensures that they will be able to steadily take over the right to strike, and carry out violent battles... It must be said that the simplest tactic is also the most efficient tactic, with the fastest speed, the most violent output, and cleanly defeating all the enemies, this is an incredibly practical skill and idea, and the difficulty of learning this tactic is quite simple, so it is recommended to be imitated by new trainers."

Red's comments on the tactics were not late.

Falkner, Winona, and the two Flying-type Gym Leader have also sent in their own comments.

These two don't play much Tailwind Team, mainly Spreading Nails, so their comments are quite short.

One word, good.

However, a surprising number of people have also appeared in the comments section of this video.

Young Lady Gothitelle: "Fighter's evaluation is very pertinent, so I will only briefly describe Tailwind Team's problems here - the anchor has also said that there are generally two types of problems with Tailwind Team. One is that the enemy uses defensive moves to delay the Tailwind round and waits for the Tailwind to end before counter-killing; the second is to restrain the slow Trick Room Team from the high-speed Tailwind Team. Due to my negligence and carelessness in the video, I became a negative example of the Trick Room Team. Instructor Ai's choice to block the Trick Room Team and open a Trick Room is the simplest and most correct operation. Whimsicott is also a Pokémon that is very suitable for Tailwind. In addition, if Instruction Ai is interested, you may wish to propose a Trick Room Team tactics instruction video."

Her appearance surprised countless viewers, including Instructor Ai himself.

Everyone knew how Miss Caitlin's temper was.

In the past, if someone dared to use her as a program effect, this hot-tempered lady would not end well.

This time it's a different story...

Instructor Ai replied below: "The core of Trick Room Team is similar to Tailwind Team. In essence, a Trick Room Team opens a Trick Room. Then, the slow DPS player gets the right to attack. The dilemma faced by Trick Room Team is the same. So after learning Tailwind Team, you can naturally understand Trick Room Team by analogy. There is no need to make a special video about this. The next tactical tutorial, if nothing else, should be Weather Team."

Instructor Ai's "next preview", the attitude of the fans is also incredibly excited.

"Damn, Instructor Ai will also use Weather Team. It's different from a normal team. It uses all the Pokémon in the team to form an axis!"

"Hmph, a Trick Room Team is nothing to Instructor Ai."

"I'm looking forward to the Rainy Day Team, I've been struggling with the composition of the Rainy Day Team for a while now, but I can't get a Rainy Day Pokémon that's too expensive, so I hope Instructor Ai will give me some advice and inspiration."

Weather, almost synonymous with a strong team tactics.

Instructor Ai said this, the comment section directly below a large number of urging messages.

To this, Instructor Ai just sneer.

Heh ~ rush me to work?

No way!

Instructor Ai had more important things to do in reality...

He had more important things to do in reality, and that was to train Ralts.

Mystical Fire, infused with Victory Flame, is her greatest weapon, a move that makes her much more than she appears on paper.

Mewtwo Y is puzzled by this.

It didn't know how a Psychic, Fairy-type Pokémon could have so much control over fire, so talented...

Is this a mistake?

Instructor Ai just laughed at this.

Afterwards, he brought Ralts to fight against wild Pokémon.

The end result was that Ralts, as a Pokémon that Instructor Ai had bred from an egg, had been able to fight all the little monsters in front of Pallet Town after being boosted by Aisha's psychic power.

Even without the psychic link, when Mystical Fire is released, there is not a single Pokémon that can stand up to Ralts in front of Pallet Town.

Of course, because Mystical Fire is so powerful, Ralts was almost exhausted after using it.

As a result, its Confusion was further developed, and it mastered Psybeam and Calm Mind, and its strength increased rapidly with the help of exercise and nutrition.

Instructor Ai pondered on this, and thought about giving Ralts the nickname Megumin.

Of course, this name didn't materialize.

Because Ralts wasn't just a Mystical Fire guy.

It's an unlucky name.

One day, the Ralts that evolved into Gardevoir will be able to do a burst of magic!

"Child, I'm looking forward for you!"

Instructor Ai took Ralts' hand and pointed at the Sparrow swarm in Viridian Forest, saying, "One day, I'll take you and blow them all up!"

"Ru..."

'Yeah~ blow up the sky!'

Ralts didn't know much.

But as a Pokémon with Psychic, it could sense that the Sparrows were not good Pokémon.

On the other side of the forest, there were all enemies.

So... Blow it up!

Then, Lorelei's delivery for Aisha arrived.

Instructor Ai got the courier with a curious face, opened it with a look of anticipation, and looked at what was inside the box with a look of surprise, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

"This..."

Instructor Ai's voice was full of disbelief.

Inside the courier box was another box made of a special material.

Inside the box lay two feathers - one with a silver luster like moonlight, and the other a golden feather wrapped in seven-colored rainbow light.

  1. refers to the move, Momento; the Chinese name of the move 'Momento' is 临别礼物, which translates to 'Farewell Gift'
  2. in China, the other name for woman's menstruation period is "大姨妈", which translates to "aunt"; 'true love aunt' or '真爱姨妈' is a joke about boyfriends who know their girlfriend's period is coming, in this case, MC is joking about the his opponent's incoming period
