Red Is On the Move

Aisha was speechless as he watched Brock run off in a huff.

What is this?

Afterwards, he didn't bother about Brock and looked at Sabrina in front of him.

"Long time no see, Sabrina."

Looking at this beautiful girl who was wearing special tight-fitting clothes, as if she was wrapped in a layer of gelcoat, with a curvaceous figure, slender in the right places and plump in the right places, her body was set off to the fullest extent, and she was full of color, Aisha's face also revealed a warm smile.

"Long time no see, Instructor Ai..."

When Aisha's smile was greeted, Sabrina's behavior was a bit more awkward.

Her slender hands were placed behind her back, and her ten fingers were nervously folded and entangled, proving the excitement and nervousness in Sabrina's heart.

The cold-faced beauty unprecedentedly revealed a very gentle smile, or to a man.

If this scene had fallen into the eyes of Lt. Surge, Koga, and Giovanni, it would have made them wonder if there was something wrong with their own eyes and mind.

"It's sad that Instructor Ai hasn't contacted me since he left my Saffron Gym."

Revisiting the old matter, Sabrina's delicate face revealed a look of resentment.

She stared at Instructor Ai a little unhappily, a little puffed up.

"Ah..."

Hearing Sabrina's words, Aisha also touched his hair in embarrassment.

It's true.

Sabrina had helped him unconditionally...

She's the one who helped him with him initiation into the world of psychics.

If it wasn't for the help of this veteran psychic, even with the psychic power seed, it would have taken a lot of effort for me to become a real psychic.

What's more, the acquisition of the psychic power seed is a systematic reward for the quest he started from Sabrina...

Later, Ralts' Pokémon Egg was a gift from Sabrina.

He and Sabrina were strangers before that.

However, after the battle, Sabrina was so kind to him that she gave him a lot of valuable things.

Whether Sabrina was in love with his talent or she was just being nice for some other reason.

Anyway, she did Instructor Ai a lot of favors.

"It's mostly because I'm too busy."

Aisha laughed.

At that moment, after leaving the Saffron Gym, he accepted Iono's invitation and took a plane to the Unova region.

After arriving in the Unova region, he was busy brushing the experience value from Battle Subway all day long, and in his spare time, he was also busy with Elesa and Iono's activities, and later on, he even got to know Keldeo and Three Swords of Justice, and started the subplot of learning swordsmanship.

After learning swordsmanship, N appeared.

Because of N, he had his eye on the Light Stone in Eindoak Town, and went to the city with Skyla.

In the end, not only did he succeed in getting the Light Stone's approval and becoming Reshiram's White Hero, but he also abducted Victini, the little cutie.

The journey ended with a duel between White Hero and Black Hero, Truth Dragon and Ideal Dragon, at the edge of Icirrus City.

After that... The ups and downs of the story came to an end.

Nevertheless, he met Iris and Drayden at the Nimbasa Gym.

Drayden, the old man, somehow found out about his White Hero status and mailed him the DNA Splicer.

In the end... the Unova trip was very rewarding.

However, during that time, Instructor Ai had no time to communicate with Sabrina.

This led to the lonely Sabrina who was "alone" all day long, wanting to take the initiative to contact Instructor Ai for a chat, but was afraid of delaying his trip.

"Hey, I understand."

After hearing Instructor Ai's explanation that wasn't really an explanation, Sabrina also sighed and waved her slender jade hand, ending the topic.

This is a very rare situation.

Because, if anyone else had messed with Sabrina, she would not be able to let go of her violent temperament.

But... It was Instructor Ai.

Sabrina is always patient and gentle with people she values.

Just like when she was teaching Instructor Ai about his powers, she was overly gentle.

In fact, Instructor Ai didn't even need to explain, Sabrina had already found a good excuse for him.

Ah... Instructor Ai is usually so busy, still traveling, day and night in the wild walking is a common thing, do not have time to find their own chat is also a very normal situation, on the contrary, I want to bother Instructor Ai day and night to delay people, Instructor Ai is doing great things, it's not Instructor Ai's fault, it's your own.

And so on and so forth.

Well, I can only say... Sabrina is a psychic, she's very good at Hypnosis.

So is self-hypnosis.

What's that?

Dog licker?

What a joke!

What's there to lick if you like it?

Besides, who wants to be a dog licker if they don't really like it?

"Here."

Instructor Ai entered the training room and handed Sabrina a bottle of water.

Sabrina took it with joy.

"Ru."

'You're back!'

Ralts teleported into Instructor Ai's arms.

Aisha hugged it without any surprise, while Sabrina beside him showed an astonished expression.

"What wonderful Teleport."

She exclaimed.

Even though they were still Ralts, the speed of the Teleport's release and the accuracy of its destination positioning were frighteningly high.

With this Teleport alone, Ralts' combat power and production capacity was highly guaranteed.

If you can beat them, you can use your maneuvers to defeat them, but if you can't, you can run away.

This is where most of Psychic-type Pokémon are so cunning.

"Uh-huh." Stroking Ralts' head, Aisha smiled in response to Sabrina's words.

"After all, the first move this child learned was Teleport."

"Oh."

Sabrina realized.

It's understandable that if you've been practicing it since you were a child, you'd be able to master it very well.

"Hey."

With one hand on her waist, Sabrina simply stood there, but her mature charisma radiated out.

At this moment, she was looking at Aisha and Ralts with emotion.

With her psychic power attainments, she could naturally see that Aisha and Ralts had already completed their psychic link.

Similarly, she could also see that Aisha's psychic power attainments were steadily advancing...

The speed of his progress was no less than her own.

As Instructor Ai's guide on the path of psychic, Sabrina was very pleased.

"I didn't realize that Instructor Ai had nurtured this child so well."

After thinking about it, Sabrina praised Ralts, and even bragged about Instructor Ai's own abilities.

Aisha looked at Sabrina with gratitude written all over her eyes, and said, "And thanks to you, Sabrina."

"Ralts and I met thanks to you."

"That's your destiny, I'm just a matchmaker."

Sabrina smiled, her tenderness showing.

Instructor Ai couldn't help but sigh, she's so nice.

"Ah?"

At this time, Aisha noticed Sabrina's Alakazam.

The big yellow fox shivered at the sight of Instructor Ai.

It remembered very clearly that in the Saffron Gym Challenge, its own Psychic, which was on fire with its trainer, was easily crushed, smashed, and chopped away by the kid in front of it with a sword, without hurting him in the slightest.

Not only that, but it took a sword swing from him in the end, and it hurt so much that it took it a week to get over it.

"Ka..."

Alakazam took a few steps back, its eyes drifting away.

Don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me...

Alakazam didn't want to mess with this guy.

This is a tough guy!

"What's this?"

Looking at Alakazam, Aisha looked at Sabrina in confusion.

Sabrina laughed, pretended to be unconcerned, and lightly told what happened just now, saying: "Just now, when I came over, you weren't here, and only Ralts was exercising Confusion here, and I could see that Ralts's Confusion at this time was already incredibly close to Psychic, and all that was missing was a reference, so I had Alakazam teach Ralts to use Psychic."

"Huh?"

At those words, Instructor Ai looked at Ralts in her arms with a surprised expression.

Ralts raised its head proudly and showed a small expression of "Yes, that's right, I've learned it, come on, praise me".

Aisha and Sabrina were amused by its cute face.

Looking at Sabrina's smiling face, Ralts also felt that this woman didn't look like a bad person...

"Ru~"

'Look...'

Ralts left Instructor Ai's arms with a Teleport and landed on the field.

With a wave of its small hand, a surge of psychic energy roared out, spreading like waves over a long distance.

Inside the training room, these special weights used for exercising psychic power were lifted by it one after another, and it still looked like it was taking it easy.

"Indeed, compared to Confusion, both the quality and quantity, as well as the nature have changed, and have been greatly improved."

Fingers rubbing his delicate chin, looking at Ralts' operation, Aisha analyzed a lot of valuable things from within its psychic power.

This was indeed Psychic, a Psychic-type move, and it was also the most common move used by high-level Psychic-type Pokémon.

Mastering this move means that Ralts have reached a new level.

"Uh-huh."

Sabrina's eyes were locked on Aisha.

She looked at Aisha, and her eyes lit up at Aisha's words.

"To be able to analyze the difference between Confusion and Psychic, Instructor Ai's psychic power attainments aren't bad either..."

As she said that, she went to her hands.

"Let me see!"

"Eh, sister Sabrina, don't!"

"Behave yourself, let me see!"

After some jokes, Ralts followed Alakazam to learn the operation of Psychic, while Sabrina placed her hand on Aisha's forehead.

In fact, the psychic link didn't need such physical contact.

But Sabrina specifically requested this in order to satisfy her little interest.

Instructor Ai had a high level of trust in Sabrina, and since she had said that it was a necessary circumstance, Instructor Ai wasn't the least bit flippant.

"Hmm."

Psychic energy surged out from between Sabrina's white jade-like, soft cotton like palm.

Sensing Sabrina's psychic energy, Instructor Ai's own psychic energy also unconsciously drifted out.

After all, at the beginning of his training, Aisha was guided by Sabrina's psychic energy and gradually developed his own psychic power abilities.

Therefore, his psychic power did not reject Sabrina's psychic power.

"Huh?"

Sabrina's brows furrowed.

She could actually feel Instructor Ai's psychic power progressing and becoming stronger.

At the same time, Sabrina was clearly aware of a subtle shift in the nature of Instructor Ai's psychic power.

It was a change in strength.

Even Sabrina's psychic power was inevitably affected by the link to Aisha's psychic power.

It was like a suppression or a pacification...

Sabrina wasn't sure about the nature of the change.

Anyway, in terms of quality, Aisha's psychic power was no less than Sabrina's.

"This..."

After realizing this, Sabrina couldn't help but smack her lips.

How long has it been since he became a psychic?

Now he's surpassed me as a guide...

But, fortunately, the change in nature is benign, so it's not a big problem.

"Uh-huh."

After glancing at Aisha, who was looking at her with a curious expression, Sabrina collected her thoughts.

She didn't suspect anything because Instructor Ai's mental strength was too high.

It was a good thing.

Besides... Instructor Ai himself is synonymous with "abnormal".

He could cut through her and Alakazam's full force with a single sword.

If his body is so strong, it's understandable that his psychic power is special.

"Well... Huh?"

After checking her psychic power to take advantage of the situation, Sabrina was about to withdraw her psychic power when she noticed something not quite right.

She lowered her hand and frowned at Aisha.

"What's wrong?"

Aisha looked puzzled.

"Instructor Ai, have you ever made a psychic link with anyone else?"

Sabrina's eyes sharpened.

She detected an unfamiliar psychic aura on top of Aisha's psychic energy.

It was obviously a trace left behind by other psychic power.

"Ah, yes."

Aisha responded to Sabrina's question honestly.

He told the story of how he and Caitlin had a psychic link and played double battle together.

The more Sabrina listened, the more uncomfortable she became.

"It was agreed that I would be the partner for the future double battles..."

Sabrina complained in a low voice.

"What?"

"No, nothing."

Sabrina shook her head, managing her expression very well.

In fact, she was already in a state of shock.

"Caitlin, one of Unova region's Elite Four, a person who specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon and is a psychic?"

Reciting Caitlin's name and title, Sabrina's eyes were filled with some indescribable emotions.

Jealousy...

Jealous of that woman's psychic link double battle with Aisha, jealous of that woman being loved by Aisha because of her mental deficiencies.

I'm the one who taught Instructor Ai how to use her powers, and I'm the one who has no flaws.

"Indeed..."

Sabrina sighed with a sigh of relief.

"It's the kids who make a fuss that get the attention."

Sabrina's heart was sour.

At her age, she wasn't too jealous.

However, she was definitely uncomfortable...

"Have you eaten?"

At that moment, Instructor Ai unleashed Dayan's strongest greeting axiom.

Have you eaten?

"Ah?"

Sabrina froze.

She was in a hurry today and hadn't eaten breakfast.

After traveling all the way to Indigo Plateau, she went straight to the sparring arena to watch Instructor Ai's match.

I hadn't eaten all day, so I was already hungry.

"Uh, I didn't eat lunch."

"Just in time."

Aisha smiled, took Sabrina's hand, and said, "There's a stall over at the Festival Plaza that sells good snacks, I didn't have enough to eat just now, so I'll go over there and fill up my stomach, how about it?"

This is true.

During lunch at the cafeteria, most of the food went into Brock's stomach, Aisha didn't eat much.

Although Instructor Ai wasn't a glutton for punishment, since he hadn't eaten enough and Sabrina hadn't eaten, it was good to have another meal.

"Yes!"

Sabrina agreed.

The resentment she felt because of Caitlin and Aisha's story had dissipated a lot.

Ah... Instructor Ai's hand, it feels so good.

"Hey."

Sabrina unconsciously smiled, and her grip on Instructor Ai's hand tightened a bit.

Well, this woman is really too easy to handle.

"Let's go, Ralts."

Releasing Sabrina's hand, Instructor Ai didn't see Sabrina's regretful expression as he greeted Ralts over there.

"Ru~"

'Okay.'

Ralts responded, and after waving goodbye to Alakazam, Teleported to Instructor Ai's side and returned to the Poké ball.

Alakazam also turned into a ray of light and returned to Sabrina's Poké ball.

"Let's go."

"Uh-huh!"

Before going out, Aisha looked at the time and realized that Ralts had been working out at the training facility for less than 20 minutes.

However, after meeting Sabrina on this trip, Ralts also learned Psychic.

Not bad!

...

Towards the end of the afternoon, it got hotter and there were fewer people in the Plaza de la Fiesta.

This gave the busy trio of James, Jessie, and Meowth a chance to catch their breath after a long morning.

James and Jessie were eating, while Meowth was counting the money with glowing eyes.

"Meowth, we've made a fortune these past few days!"

Meowth's eyes were even brighter than the light reflecting from the gold coin on its head.

At this, James and Jessie were also full of happiness.

"Thanks to Admin."

"Indeed."

The hearts of the two of them were filled with gratitude towards Aisha.

Because of Aisha's appreciation, they were able to have such a well-fed and clothed life now.

Because of Aisha's trust, they had the chance to show off their skills at the Festival Square.

If the three of them were the horses, Aisha was the one who picked them out.

"In the past few days, we've made enough money to build several robots on top of our turnover."

Meowth did the math.

"In the past few days, Meowth has been investigating, and found that our income accounts for 80% of the turnover of the Festival Plaza."

In other words, the other stalls in the plaza had to take the trio's leftovers.

This led to the closure of Green's stall next door.

"What a great feeling."

Jessie held her face in her hands, her eyes turning into the shape of money.

She felt that if she continued to work at this rate, she would not be far from realizing her wish of becoming a rich woman.

"Unfortunately, only during the week of Indigo Plateau Conference will we be able to set up our stalls in the Festival Plaza."

James shook his head helplessly.

Meowth, on the other hand, put away the account book, waved its hand with a smile on her face, and said, "James, you're thinking wrong meow!"

"What?"

"Huhuhuh~ Otherwise, how come you can't become an Admin, but Admin Ai can be an Admin."

Meowth gave James a "stupid human" grin and said, "This week's business at Festival Plaza is just a springboard for us meow~"

"Springboard?"

The uneducated Jessie had a question mark on her face.

James, on the other hand, looked puzzled and seemed to understand what Meowth meant.

Meowth, with its arms wrapped around its chest, said: "Because the three of us in the Team Rainbow Rocket's rank and influence is too low to be exposed to too high level of action, but, this period happened to be a critical period for the old Team Rocket to transform into Team Rainbow Rocket. The members of Team Rainbow Rocket who had just come into contact with the legal business were generally not very interested. Therefore, Admin Ai specially arranged for the three three of us to show off our skills in the Festival Plaza, make a lot of money beautifully, and become a role model for everyone."

"Ah, I see."

James had a flash of insight.

"If we become a role model and inspire others, Team Rainbow Rocket's business will grow like wildfire, and at that time, as a role model for everyone, we will also be a great contributor, and the main thing is to let the boss and the others see our ability, so even if we can't set up a stall at the Festival Plaza in the future, we can still go to do bigger business to make money!"

"That's it, meow."

Meowth gave an expression that said, "That's right, James."

"Huh?" Jessie looked confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, if it's Jessie's intelligence, it's hard for her to understand."

"What did you say?"

Jessie looked as if she was about to rise up and kill Meowth in anger.

She was drowned out by a shout.

"James, Jessie, order two bowls of noodles."

"Admin!"

The trio instantly turned into good boys, and came over to the stall.

However, after seeing the woman beside Aisha clearly, they were trembling with fear.

"A-Admin Sabrina?"

The person following Aisha was one of the three Admins of the old Team Rocket, Sabrina.

James, Jessie, Meowth trio naturally recognize her.

"Don't call me an Admin, I'm not an Admin now."

Sabrina waved her hand, ignoring them.

Afterwards, she followed Instructor Ai straight to the back of the booth and sat down in front of the table.

The trio cooked the noodles with trembling and trepidation.

"Hey, why is that bastard following the Admin here?"

"I-I don't know..."

"Shhhh, keep it down, that Admin is the one who turns people into dolls at the drop of a hat."

The trio whispered as they carefully handled the ingredients.

However, when the two of them turned around from time to time and saw Sabrina and Instructor Ai chatting with each other, their expressions turned strange.

"What...? I feel like Admin Sabrina is different from the rumors?"

"I don't know, could it be a rumor?"

"She doesn't look like the type who turns people into dolls and seals them at the drop of a hat, instead she looks like a young girl in love."

The trio was puzzled.

Until Sabrina noticed the three of them staring.

"..."

Silence, but Sabrina released an invisible psychic power, oppressed the three of them breathless.

The trio was directly scared of the weak legs, did not dare to look at Sabrina and Aisha again, and focused on mixing up the sauce for the ramen.

"As expected of Instructor Ai, even such a monster should be treated warmly."

"Admin is really great..."

"Nonsense, if it were me, I'd be enthusiastic about him too!"

Between the three of them, two steaming bowls of ramen were ready.

"Please, enjoy your meal."

"Enjoy."

James and Jessie brought the noodles to the table.

Sabrina sniffed the aroma of the ramen and looked surprised.

She didn't really have a taste for it, but it was nice to be able to enjoy a good meal.

She didn't realize that the ramen cooked by the trio had whetted her appetite.

"How's it going?"

Across the table, Aisha smiled as she unwrapped a pair of chopsticks, carefully removing the splinters from them before handing them to Sabrina.

"Not bad..." Sabrina smiled, ruffled the hair on the side of her face, and took the chopsticks.

Seeing this, James, who had a very high emotional intelligence, immediately opened his mouth and said, "Miss Sabrina, the technique we used to cook the ramen was an experience taught by Admin Ai!"

"Oh?"

Sabrina froze for a moment, then, her expression changed.

"Indeed, worthy of Instructor Ai."

The smile on her face suddenly became much wider.

Ah, Instructor Ai took me to eat his apprentice's noodles, what's next, he's going to take me to eat his own cooking...

He has me in his heart!

Sabrina took a bite of her noodles, thinking of strange things.

Next to her, the Rainbow Rocket trio are looking at each other with strange faces.

This Admin Sabrina seems to be too easy to handle... No, I'm afraid that's Instructor Ai benefit only.

"Huh?"

At that moment, the smiling Sabrina turned her head towards them, and her expression immediately turned cold.

She gave the trio a glare.

The trio instantly turned around, busy with the things on top of the stall, not to be a light bulb here.

Sabrina turned her head back with satisfaction, and her expression immediately changed back to a gentle smile.

"The taste of this ramen is quite good, I think that Instructor Ai's handmade dishes are a thousand times more flavorful."

Putting down her chopsticks, Sabrina said with a sense of humor.

Aisha didn't care too much and said, "It's okay, if you're interested, I'll make it for you if you're free later."

"Okay."

Holding her face, Sabrina was satisfied.

The case is solved, and psychics are all gluttons!

"Speaking of which..."

Sabrina elegantly pulled out a tissue, wiped her mouth, and said, "After the Indigo Plateau Conference, is Instructor Ai going back to Dayan?"

As she said that, Sabrina couldn't help showing a lonely expression.

It was fine to travel, but if Aisha went back to Dayan, it would be really hard to see her.

Both being born with extraordinary psychic power talent, Sabrina was actually not much better than Caitlin.

Sabrina's powers may be stable, but there was a time when she was even more emotionally unstable than Caitlin.

No, Sabrina wasn't out of control, she was completely obsessed, constantly harboring malice and contempt for the outside world, for everyone else.

With her twisted mindset and powerful psychic power, she's a disaster.

The Rainbow Rocket Trio heard rumors of her turning people into dolls at the drop of a hat, and that's exactly what she did during that time.

Closing her heart, rejecting her feelings, and living in a world of her own...

When Caitlin's illness was at its worst, she had a powerful best friend by her side, Cynthia, who could control her movements, communicate with her heart, and heal her pain.

But Sabrina, at that time, had no one around her.

She played the role of the "Witch of Saffron City" until she joined Team Rocket.

Giovanni defeated Sabrina with absolute force, giving Sabrina a brief moment of clarity.

After savoring her defeat, Sabrina became active as a Team Rocket Admin.

After that, Team Rocket was disbanded for the first time, and Sabrina became a free agent again.

It was at this time that she discovered her love for acting by chance.

This love was briefly Sabrina's salvation.

She relied on her status as a Saffron City Gym Leader to land roles in Bollywood.

Subsequently, Sabrina worked very hard to hone her acting skills and became an accomplished actress.

In the process, she gained flowers, applause and the support of her fans.

At the same time, Sabrina learned how to control her emotions during her career as an actress, thus shedding her reputation as a witch and becoming a normal human being.

But... Inside, she couldn't be lonely.

Aisha was the first person who made her feel "close", and also the first person who made her feel that way.

Though at first she only wanted to escape the fate of defeat.

That's how it is...

The short time she spent with Aisha made Sabrina happy, a genuine joy that made her feel that her old, bad self was fading away.

Likewise, Sabrina was in a bad mood when she couldn't see Aisha...

When she thought that after Aisha returned to Dayan, the two of them couldn't see each other easily, Sabrina's mood became irritable.

"No, I still have some things to do, I won't go back to Dayan for a while."

Aisha's soft voice interrupted Sabrina's thoughts, his tone was still soothing.

"Besides..."

"What?"

"Didn't I promise you?"

Aisha's hand tapped on the edge of the ramen bowl, and said, "I said I'd cook for you, so, after Indigo Plateau Conference is over, I'll at least go to Saffron Gym, right?"

"Yes!"

Sabrina's heart was as sweet as honey.

Sure enough, he has me in his heart!

...

Johto region, Mt. Silver.

The mountain range where the wind and snow are always blowing is the sacred peak between the Kanto and Johto regions.

"Hoo!"

The young man in the black jacket with the hedgehog's head exhaled and shook the snow from his body.

He looked at the man in front of him with a disgruntled face, full of complaints, saying, "You always like to stay in places like this, it's troublesome to find you."

"Because of the prevalence of high level wild Pokémon and wild Pokémon clans here."

Red responded to Blue's words with an expressionless face, saying, "Moreover, this is an environment that even you would find unpleasant, and it has an excellent effect on honing a Pokémon's strength, as well as a trainer's own endurance."

"Tsk, really."

As soon as he heard Red speak, Blue got a headache.

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you about these things."

"Then what's your problem?"

"It's halfway through the Indigo Plateau Conference schedule. Ai-kun has already reached the top 16. Next is the 16-to-8 schedule. I'm going to start the 8-to-6 competition. When the Indigo Plateau Conference starts the six-on-six all-out battle, I went over to watch the battle. I heard Lorelei and Bruno also had the same arrangement."

Blue looked at Red with his arms wrapped around his chest and said, "When are you going to be there?"

"I've already talked to Instructor Ai."

Red pressed the brim of his hat.

Although he was wearing a thin coat, the snow and wind that raged on top of Mt. Silver could not infect his body.

Although this is due to his origin from Pallet Town, but more is the result of Red's ten years of day-to-day exercise.

As the world's most recognized Pokémon trainer, Red is not only strong in Pokémon battles, but also in non-discriminatory battles.

This is due to his strong physique developed in Mt. Silver.

Bathed in snow and wind, Red has worked out with his Pokémon, and over time he has developed a body that is not afraid of snow and wind.

This made him crush Blue to death...

"Talked?"

Blue froze.

"Uh-huh."

Red responded with a nonchalant snort.

"I told Instructor Ai to play well, and I'll be there to give him his award in the finals."

Blue: "..."

Now the "..." It was him.

"You're such a... Hey."

Blue sighed, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Red showed his dark side with an unprecedented smile.

"What?"

He turned the tables and questioned Blue.

"You don't believe Instructor Ai can win the title?"

"Hey, you with face-paralysis, you're still trying to set me up, aren't you?"

Blue was furious.

However, he knew Red was right.

Blue knew a bit about the Indigo Plateau Conference's seeded players, including the so-called "favorites".

There were indeed some good prospects, such as Hoenn region's Wally, who was rumored to be Professor Birch's favorite trainer.

But, it's no use...

These guys are no match for Instructor Ai.

According to Red's character, he doesn't want to waste time watching the qualifiers, but only shows up when the awards are given at the end. This is indeed his style.

But... Blue wasn't going to go along with Red.

"Hey."

With a show of hands, Blue shook his head in a mocking manner and sighed.

"It's because you're so disinterested in Ai-kun that Ai-kun only fights me and not you!"

Red: "!"

Sometimes, Red, who was a bit silly and sweet, suddenly widened his eyes when he heard Blue's words.

"Really?"

"Really."

Seeing that Red had taken the bait, the smile on Blue's face grew even wider.

He took a step forward, put his arm around Red's shoulder, and gave Red a big picture of Mt. Silver's blizzard-ridden sky.

"You see, Ai-kun and I still have a good relationship. We are good brothers. I told him when I went to Alola region, and I picked him up when he first arrived in the Kanto region. We made an appointment to challenge him at the gym at that time. It was about the competition, so in the end the two of us had a good fight, right?"

"Yes."

"Look at you, even though you keep up the live broadcasts and videos all day long, and you also get a lot of rewards, you are just a fan at best, and a fan leader at worst. You have nothing to do with Instructor Ai offline, maybe that guy Gold is more familiar with Instructor Ai than you, and Instructor Ai will definitely not think of you when it wants to fight, right?"

"Yes..."

Red was deep in thought.

He wondered if it was really because he had neglected Instructor Ai that he was unable to fight him.

"Is it my problem?"

He asked Blue.

"It's your problem."

Blue replied back.

"So, what should I do?"

"What?" Blue tilted his head, smiled, and said, "Simple!"

"You now, immediately, immediately follow me to Indigo Plateau to see Instructor Ai's match, Instructor Ai after the match you pull him to warm up, you in the identity of your fan head to invite him to dinner, directly to the goodwill this piece of pull full, want to fight is not a breeze?"

Red: "..."

"Why do I get the feeling you're trying to trick me?"

"Hey, guess what, I am!"

Blue stopped pretending.

"You just keep your Mt. Silver, don't socialize with anyone, don't talk to anyone, work out in the snow on top of a mountain all day, and slowly work yourself into a fool!"

Red pressed his hat and said, "But you can't beat me."

Blue: "..."

"You're the three-minute champion."

"..."

"You also lost to Instructor Ai."

"..."

Blue crouched down in the snow and drew circles in the snow with his hands.

"Don't make personal attacks like that..."

Looking at the defeated Blue, Red couldn't help but reveal a smile.

At Mt. Silver, apart from exercising his Pokémon, he only enjoyed fighting with Blue and bloodying Gold, who would come up to him every now and then.

"Come on."

Blue heard Red's voice as he was dropping little pearls into the snow.

He turned his head and saw that Red had already lifted his backpack and looked like he was ready to leave Mt. Silver.

"What?"

"Didn't you tell me to go with you to find Instructor Ai?" Red looked at him with a strange look on his face and said, "Idiot?"

"Hey... You're really attached to Instructor Ai."

Blue was a little jealous.

You know, when he tried to get Red off Mt. Silver before, it didn't go so well.

This time, just by mentioning Instructor Ai, Red was willing to go down.

That's...

It's worthy of Instructor Ai.

"Hah."

Blue sighed, but he actually liked that boy.

At that moment, he saw Red returning to his cave above Mt. Silver.

"Hey, what are you, backing out?"

"No."

Red's response came from inside the cave, along with a series of rummaging sounds.

After a long time, Red came out holding a notebook.

"You can't go empty-handed... I'll bring him my notes on exercising Charizard... They should be more useful than yours."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

With a lot of yelling, the rivals walked down Mt. Silver side by side.

...

As the Indigo Plateau Conference progressed to the final sixteen, the remaining sixteen players in the arena were all powerful and excellent trainers.

The surprising thing is that Ash, who has strange moves and often fights against his own attributes, has stumbled through the first four rounds of the qualifiers and made it to the top sixteen without any danger.

One can't help but wonder if there's something to be said for being a hard worker...

Gary, who is also a Pallet Town player, grandson of Professor Oak, brother of Blue, and has received a lot of attention since he was a child, also made it to the round of sixteen.

After several years of silence, Pallet Town was once again on the rise.

Ash and Gary have been dubbed the new Pallet Town Twins.

Although the two parties concerned were not happy with this nickname, however, Professor Oak was all smiles.

These two were the representatives of the Kanto region at the Indigo Plateau Conference.

In addition to them, trainers from other regions continued to shine at the Indigo Plateau Conference.

Sayo from Ecruteak City, Johto region, represented Espeon.

from Castelia City, Unova region, represents Conkeldurr.

In addition, Wally from Verdanturf Town in Hoenn, with his excellent battle experience and theoretical knowledge, used Delcatty, Roserade, and Altaria Pokémon to advance to the Top 16 with great success.

The strength of these guys was outstanding among the top sixteen.

The media naturally noticed them and gave them the title of "Favorite to Win the Championship".

Of course, if we're talking about the "favorites", Aisha was the topic of discussion.

His performance at the Indigo Plateau Conference had once again caused an uproar.

"A one-month-old Ralts was bred by him to have the strength to win two consecutive one-to-three matches at the Indigo Plateau Conference. This guy's breeding ability is a bit unbelievable, and I've only ever seen a Pokémon get stronger at such a rate under Master Blue's hands."

"That Larvitar's sandstorm control is so strong, it should be bred in the direction of a weatherman, it's really unimaginable how strong this Larvitar will be after it evolves into a Tyranitar..."

"A bunch of amateurs, that Rotom is the most extraordinary Pokémon, although the two babies above have 1v3, but it's only 1v3, at least it still went through some serious games and battles to get the victory, but you guys look at what's the situation of that Rotom, one move, a second kill, three moves directly to 1v3, I've watched the video again and again, that Rotom doesn't feel like it's exerting any power at all, it hasn't put out its full strength at all!"

On the trainer forum, a title is [Instructor Ai Indigo Plateau Conference as a baby cup fight, too inappropriate!] Under the post, countless people who have been following the Indigo Plateau Conference have analyzed Instructor Ai's current strength.

"Less than a year ago, he was in Dayan for the 'Rookie Tournament', and at that time he was also bombing fish with an Azurill and Caterpie."

A longtime fan recounted Instructor Ai's exploits.

"So this guy specializes in frying fish?"

A passerby was amazed.

"However, both Caterpie and Azurill are Pokémon that conform to the rules of the 'Rookie Tournament'. Besides, that 'Rookie Tournament' wasn't quite right, and the organizers changed the rules temporarily, which is a bit of backroom operation and subterfuge, so it's only fair to let such a fish-bombing guy participate in the competition, letting him blow up hard, and it's really a great success!"

A trainer who suffered from the temporary change of rules in the 'Rookie Tournament' and ended up in the top sixteen, was very satisfied with Instructor Ai's behavior.

Anyway, everyone was talking about Aisha's strength under the post.

The more they discussed, the more they were shocked.

Because Aisha was an anchor, and was broadcasting his training all day long.

So, if you look into it, you can see what kind of Pokémon he has.

Those who hadn't paid attention to Instructor Ai before, but had only noticed him because of his performance at the Indigo Plateau Conference, were surprised to find that halfway through the Indigo Plateau Conference, Instructor Ai hadn't even brought out his real main Pokémon.

Charizard, Azumarill, and shiny Metang, the Pokémon that Instructor Ai used to challenge the gym, didn't show up at the Indigo Plateau Conference at all.

The only Pokémon that appeared in the tournament, Rotom, showed its strength by killing all of the opposing team's Pokémon in a series of three seconds.

So... The strength of the main Pokémon that haven't appeared so far has been revealed to everyone.

"Oh no, Instructor Ai is planning to shut down his opponents for the entire tournament, the participants of the Indigo Plateau Conference are really blessed."

"Dang it, Instructor Ai!"

"It's bad, it's exciting, I've never seen anyone play Indigo Plateau Conference as a baby cup in my life."

Some of the audience sighed and complained about Instructor Ai not being a human being.

Some viewers were excited and shouted that Instructor Ai should not worry about flying.

However, Instructor Ai, who was the subject of countless discussions, was now happily touching the fish.

Inside the Budew Drop Inn hotel room, Aisha opened a live broadcast.

The content of the live broadcast was not Pokémon battles.

"You may not know, what is the concept of winning 5,780,000 dollars with only 200,000 dollars."

With a click of the mouse, Aisha was happily playing Fight the Landlord.

Instructor Ai himself said, "I've played enough live Pokémon battles, so it's nice to have a change of flavor, and there's also the Indigo Plateau Conference's offline battles to watch."

"We usually only use two words to describe this kind of person, gambling monster!"

Along with a new game, Aisha read out the live broadcast audience did not understand the terrain, said: "I often say a sentence, when Chen Daozai he can use twenty dollars to win to thirty-seven million, I, Aisha, with two hundred thousand to win to five million, not a problem!"

The live broadcast brushed through a large barrage messages.

Among them there are some barrages saying "Grandpa's youth is back, Instructor Ai is back to cooking in Fight the Landlord".

Instructor Ai was not happy about this.

"What's that?"

"How can Instructor Ai cook?" While saying this, Aisha hit a bomb.

"Instructor Ai never eats!"

As he said that, Instructor Ai played his cards continuously, and soon had only five cards left in his hand.

His opponent's hand was stacked.

"Amazing, how lucky is Instructor Ai?"

"Ai-baby can't eat anymore."

"Instructor Ai has had a good game, but who's going to make up for my lack of nutrition?"

Instructor Ai sneered at the barrage screen.

"Can you beat me with 17 cards?"

He revealed a wild smile, as if he was confident of victory, and said: "Can you kill me in seconds?"

"If you can describe Aisha in seventeen cards today, I will eat this computer screen on the spot!"

The landlord threw out an Airplane, and the hand ended at the speed of light.

Aisha: "?"

With the music of failure, Instructor Ai froze in front of the camera.

The barrage were laughing their asses off.

"I suggest that Indigo Plateau Conference expand the Landlord program, in that case, the other participants may still have a chance of survival."

"It's still the same flavor, Ai-baby is always the same Ai-baby !"

"It's proven that even if he doesn't broadcast Pokémon battles live, Instructor Ai's cooking skills and program effects can still fill him up."

Aisha: "..."

Instructor Ai holds his chin with both hands, striking a pose similar to Gendo Ikari's, and sinks into deep thought.

Behind him, his partners were in a circle on the hotel floor, playing cards.

Haunter was tied up and thrown to the side, because this guy could easily eat cards if it got excited.

Ralts and shiny Metang were also banned because one of them had psychic and the other was too smart for its own good.

The only players left were Azumarill, Charizard, Umbreon, and Rotom.

"Chansey."

The gentle Chansey was carrying a tray full of snacks and drinks, smiling as she watched the game.

"Lu."

Azumarill played a single card without expression.

Charizard immediately followed up with a bomb.

Azumarill: "?"

It looked at Charizard with an expression of disbelief.

Is your phobia of being underpowered getting worse?

"Roar?"

Charizard laughed in embarrassment and scratched his head.

As the fight went on, Umbreon posed a question.

"Boo?"

When can we fight?

"Ru?"

"Roar."

Its question was met with unanimous attention from Azumarill and Charizard.

Chansey, Haunter, and shiny Metang, who hadn't played so far, also came over.

Having followed Instructor Ai all the way to Kanto, they were eager to show off their skills at the Indigo Plateau Conference.

As it turned out, Ralts, the newest member of the team, had already fought two matches, and Larvitar and Rotom had each gotten one performance.

With four matches left, they were in a hurry.

"It doesn't matter," Rotom phone turned around.

"I'm done anyway loto."

Hearing Rotom's words, everyone gave a sharp look in unison.

Instructor Ai's four matches so far were all shutouts.

So, in order to secure their position in Instructor Ai's heart, the other Pokémon would also pursue the effect of shutting out their opponents.

After all... After all, if the other Pokémon are fighting so hard, they can't afford to lose their crotch.

Whoever can't shut down their opponent is embarrassed!

"Lu!"

Azumarill's fists are clenched, and it looks like it's ready to go.

It's a purely physical attacker, with no fancy effects or support abilities, and all it seeks is the ultimate power.

When it comes to violently crushing opponents, Instructor Ai's team has him.

"Roar!"

Charizard was lying on the ground in a very enchanting position due to its large size.

A flame was coming out of its nostrils.

Hmm... If we're going to shut out our opponent, we'll have to use all of our firepower.

If that's the case, why don't we persuade Instructor Ai to let him use its Mega Evolution during the battle?

"Me-ta-!!!"

Shiny Metang thought of a deeper problem.

Unlike Azumarill and Charizard, shiny Metang knew the Indigo Plateau Conference system.

It knew that the format for the eight to four, semi-finals and finals would be a six-on-six all-out battle.

Unlike the three-on-three of the first five matches, a 1v6 over the course of the tournament was really something.

Well, shiny Metang's mind is working.

As a shiny god Pokémon, a normal shutout record doesn't interest shiny Metang at all.

If it wants to fight, it'll complete a 1v6!

It's a tough game.

Each of the three generals had their own thoughts, and the players below them were also thinking out loud.

"Jie jie jie."

The Soul Temple Elder's ghost hand flew up and down, eager to test its opponent's Pokémon to see how much its 'Spirit Poison' had improved over the past few days.

By the way, if it did well in the competition, Instructor Ai would definitely buy it more Casteliacone.

Just thinking about the flavor of Casteliacone made Haunter's mouth water.

"Boo."

Umbreon's face was lazy, but its amber eyes hid a sharp edge.

Who says a meat shield can't do damage?

I'm going to stack six more Curse, strengthen you to the end, and kill you!

"Chansey."

Compared to the first five villains, who were waiting to humiliate their rivals, Chansey, who had a big heart, was a lot more Buddhist.

Of course, while it's a Buddhist, it wants to fight.

So... Thunder Wave, Toxic, Stealth Rock, Light Screen first?

Its heart isn't too dark, as long as it brings a smile to its opponent's face.

"What a bunch of barbarians loto."

Rotom Phone couldn't help but sigh as it watched the expressions on these guys' faces.

And then, it received a collective salute.

"What are you looking at Rotom, how do you know I helped Instructor Ai get a one-two-three shutout?"

Everyone: "?"

You're sick, you're sick!

...

On the following day, the sixteen-eight match was held in the sparring stadium.

In this match, Aisha's opponent was a familiar face.

Standing at one end of the arena, Aisha looked at the girl in a pink kimono with an interested expression.

This was Sayo, one of the dancers of the Ecruteak Dance Theater, and an Eevee trainer who had inherited the Ecruteak Dance Theater's Eevee breeding method.

She was one of the onlookers at the Second Generation Mewtwo incident.

After the incident, Sayo invited Aisha to Ecruteak Dance Theater.

Unexpectedly, Aisha became Sayo's opponent in the Indigo Plateau Conference's sixteen-eight rounds before he even had a chance to be a guest.

"Hey."

Sayo sighed as she stepped on her wooden clogs and wore exquisite makeup.

Against Instructor Ai, she was under even more pressure than the previous contestants.

There's no reason for that... When Second Generation Mewtwo fought with Mew, she saw the great power of the New Island from the harbor of Vermilion City.

Aisha had been involved in that devastating battle, and had returned unharmed.

From Sayo's point of view, Aisha was a monster as strong as Second Generation Mewtwo...

Knowing his strength, Sayo felt the pressure of facing him.

"Never mind, I'll do my best!"

Shaking her head, Sayo gave up thinking.

After patting her face and refreshing herself, she took out her Poké ball.

At that moment, the referee blew his whistle.

"The match begins!"

After the sharp whistle, the two Poké balls flew into the air.

The Poké balls opened, and two beams of light landed on the ground, transforming into two figures with similar outlines.

There was a gasp from the audience.

There was no other reason, because the first Pokémon that Aisha and Sayo had sent into the arena were Umbreon and Espeon.

"What a surprise!" The commentator, not one to pass up an opportunity for such a programmatic effect, yelled into his microphone.

"I didn't realize that this battle would begin with a match between two closely related Pokémon, Umbreon and Espeon!"

Espeon and Umbreon are both the second batch of Eevee's evolutionary types to be discovered, and with both Psychic and Dark attribute in their own right, their relationship has always been a source of fascination.

In the arena, the handsome and fierce Umbreon faced off against the elegant and noble Espeon, a scene that made many people show their surprise.

Some even took out their cell phones to record this amazing scene.

"Instructor Ai's Umbreon... Hiss." In the audience, Green showed a strange expression.

"Sayo's representative Pokémon is Espeon, so Instructor Ai specially sent Umbreon... This guy, could it be that frying fish has specially investigated his opponent's information?"

At those words, beside Green, Gold sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Hiss..."

When he looked at Aisha again, his eyes were filled with admiration.

This Instructor Ai was clearly strong but overly cautious.

"Uh-huh."

Silver truly admired Instructor Ai's caution.

After being under the Masked Man's command, and having lived an uprooted life since he was a child, Silver himself had become a cautious person.

A lion's fight with a rabbit is also with all its might, and being prepared for everything is his life's credo.

For a moment, looking at Instructor Ai on the field, Silver looked as if he had found a confidant, his eyes full of admiration.

"That's right."

Beside Gold, Brock looked at Green with a curious face and said, "Green, don't you guys have a stall anymore?"

When he heard his words, Green looked puzzled.

"Don't mention it."

She waved her hand, with a sad face, said: "Instructor Ai doesn't know where he recruited three business geeks, directly robbed all my customers, I didn't even get my capital back from what I sold in the past two days!"

"Oh..."

Brock mentally put a cross on the "stall" option.

Then, he sighed.

"Hey."

It's better to make money with Instructor Ai.

Brock remembered that yesterday, Aisha helped him contact Professor Sycamore.

At that time, after Professor Sycamore heard about Brock's willingness to help, he directly patted his chest and said that he would be paid enough.

Brock was moved to tears.

"Instructor Ai is such a nice person..."

He thought so, but Sayo didn't think so.

Looking across at Umbreon, Sayo's head exploded.

Umbreon versus Espeon, her own Espeon was at an absolute disadvantage.

Eevees were already weak, and Espeon couldn't learn Miracle Eye, which made it 90% useless against Umbreon.

So...

"Come back, Espeon!"

In order to prevent Aisha from letting Umbreon block Espeon's back with Mean Look, Sayo immediately raised the Poké Ball and shot out a red light, retrieving Espeon.

"Pursuit."

"Boo!"

Hearing Instructor Ai's command, Umbreon came out with a fierce attack and swung a claw onto Espeon's beautiful fur.

"Boo!" Espeon wailed, showing a pained expression.

"Tsk."

After retrieving Espeon, Sayo showed a pained expression.

With this Pursuit, Umbreon knocked out at least half of Espeon's health points.

However... Instead of getting hit by Mean Look and not being able to run away and giving away his head, it's better to take a Pursuit shot.

"It's your turn!"

Sayo then threw her second Pokémon, and a big, sturdy blue beetle appeared in front of Umbreon.

It was Heracross, known as the King of Insects, with a name similar to a certain Hercules.

Unlike Espeon, its attributes were a huge advantage against Umbreon.

At the same time, its fortitude ensures that Aisha won't command Umbreon to use Toxic or Thunder Wave on it.

Big advantage!

"Uhh!" Sayo clenched his fist and said, "Heracross, Close Combat!"

The Great Beetle shook its wings and catapulted out like a rocket, rushing towards Umbreon.

"Umbreon, Confuse Ray."

Aisha commanded.

Umbreon glared, and a wave of energy spread out, hitting Heracross right in the head.

"Hera..."

Heracross, who was in a state of confusion, had a momentary lapse of lucidity, and its flight speed stalled a bit.

Umbreon seized this opportunity and sped out!

"Boo!"

With a bite, Umbreon bit into its arm!
