Summer Is In My House

"Lu!"

After instantly killing six of its opponent's Pokémon, Azumarill was tingling with pleasure.

Ah...

Now it could finally shut Rotom and Umbreon up.

The grin on Azumarill's face was already wild.

What's with your 1v3?

My 1v6 is the real deal!

"Lu..."

After moving its muscles, Azumarill enjoyed the cheers and praises from the audience and walked towards Instructor Ai.

Then, a blue shadow flashed in front of him.

"Jie!"

Haunter looked at Azumarill with a grimace.

According to the rules, this game should be the time for it to show off its skills and use the 'Spirit Poison' method to crush the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Arcanine roared it off the field with a single Roar, and Azumarill, who was on the field in its place, directly ended the battle with a string of sixes, leaving Haunter no chance to show his skills at all.

"Jie..."

Floating in the air, Haunter's ghostly face shed two lines of tears, and its cry was so sad that it made the listeners sad and the seekers cry.

"Lu!"

Azumarill's head hurt, mainly because it really robbed Haunter's head.

Although it was a force majeure situation.

But Azumarill was not an unreasonable Pokémon.

On the contrary, as the second most senior Pokémon in the team, Azumarill has always been responsible and true to its word when it comes to its juniors.

"Lu~"

Azumarill reached out and pulled Haunter out of the air.

It tried to pat Haunter's shoulder, but realized that Haunter didn't have a shoulder, so it could only pat its head.

"Lu!"

Don't cry, I'll let you have my share of Casteliacone later.

"Jie?"

Haunter immediately stopped crying and looked at its senior with starry eyes.

Really?

"Lu..."

Really...

"Jie!"

I'll take the whole family bucket!

"Lu..."

Okay...

"Jie!"

Yes!

Haunter was so excited to be able to eat Casteliacone's bucket again.

He forgot all about Azumarill stealing its heads, and all it could think about was the fruity taste of Casteliacone.

Hey...

Strawberry, blueberry, mango, durian... No, not this one!

"Jie."

Haunter frowned at the thought of durian flavor.

Although it was the king of glutton, there were things it didn't like to eat.

Durian is one of them.

"Lu..."

Looking at Haunter's expression, Azumarill could tell that it was already fantasizing about eating ice cream.

The senior sighed helplessly and shook its head.

Azumarill was very fond of Haunter's junior.

Because Azumarill itself is also a lively type, after Haunter changed its mischievous and mischievous behavior, its simple and lively appearance was very much to Azumarill's liking.

"Lu~"

After knocking on Haunter's head, Azumarill smiled happily at the pitifully grumpy expression on its face when it pulled it out of its fantasy.

Let's go, stop fantasizing, Instructor Ai is still waiting for us.

"Jie..."

Haunter nodded.

Okay, let's go.

Let's go get some ice cream.

"You two."

Instructor Ai laughed helplessly as he watched Azumarill, who was soothing and abusing the food, and Haunter, who had a gluttonous look on its face, drift towards him.

"Let's go."

"Lu!"

"Jie~"

"Okay, I'll buy you ice cream and a whole bucket."

"Jie~"

The two Pokémon walked into the tunnel behind them.

As it happened, there was a man standing at the exit of the tunnel, and he was waiting for Aisha.

"Ah..."

After getting a good look at the person, Aisha showed a surprised expression and stopped in his tracks.

He had a long figure, wore his trademark red short-sleeved shirt, and had no unnecessary expression on his stoic face. The red cap with the Poké ball logo covered his fresh, simple and sharp short black hair.

This image is not unfamiliar to any Pokémon fan.

Red.

A living legend, a trainer's legend.

Fighter, Mt. Silver's Red.

The strongest trainer in the world, an undefeated legend.

The list of his names is endless, and each one of them is extremely prestigious.

Similarly, this person was also a resident of Instructor Ai's live stream, and was active under every Instructor Ai video at a high frequency...

"Congratulations on your win, Instructor Ai."

Facing Aisha, Red tried to put a smile on his face and congratulated Aisha on her victory.

This flattered Instructor Ai.

The only offline encounter he had with Red was at the Oak Research Institution after he followed Blue to Pallet Town when he first came to the Kanto region.

He didn't realize that Red, who had always been face-palmed, had actually smiled at him...

"Why are you here?"

After organizing his confused thoughts, Aisha asked Red about the reason for his visit.

On the first day, Red clearly texted him that he would come on the last day.

Why did he come earlier?

Is he planning to ambush me...?

This guy!

"Mhm!"

Instructor Ai's eyes sharpened.

He was ready to pull out Reshiram if Red tried to catch him in a fight.

Unexpectedly, Red helplessly spread his hands, sighed, and said, "That Blue guy, forced me here, no way."

"Oh... Blue."

Instructor Ai understood.

So it's Blue who's trying to kill me?

Okay, let's hit the Viridian Gym with Rayquaza next, and give the heir of 'Secret of the Earth' a little Flying-type First-level Legendary Pokémon shock!

"Not here, this isn't the place to talk."

Aisha laughed, very skillfully walked to Red's side, said: "Eat ice cream, my treat."

"Eat!"

Red agreed very quickly.

Instructor Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jie~"

After hearing the word "ice cream", Haunter laughed even harder.

This caught Red's attention.

"Oh?"

Looking at Haunter, Red's eyes sparkled.

"It's actually a different color Haunter."

"Uh-huh."

Aisha grabbed Haunter and rubbed its head, saying, "I met this child at the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town, and he followed me all the way there."

"So, it became your Pokémon of its own accord, huh?"

The corners of Red's mouth rose a bit.

"Not bad for an Instructor Ai..."

"Huh?"

Hearing Red's words, Aisha froze for a moment.

When he looked at Red's face with a thoughtful smile, Instructor Ai realized that Red was afraid that he had thought of something strange based on his own words.

"Really..."

Instructor Ai looked helpless.

Why do these great trainers like to make up things in their own heads that they don't understand?

Although I do have a lot of things hidden.

...

In the festival square, Aisha and Red sat on a bench in the corner.

Red was wearing sunglasses, very cool.

There were so many people in the festival square that not many people noticed the two of them hiding in the corner eating ice-cream.

"Jie..."

Haunter was holding a bucket of Casteliacone in its hand, eating it left and right.

It didn't waste any of it, it licked all the cream into its mouth, and its was not afraid of getting diarrhea when it ate a big mouthful of ice.

Azumarill looked at Haunter with a blank expression.

"...Lu."

It sighed and licked the cone in its hand.

"Jie."

Haunter gave Azumarill a look of contempt.

Fake!

You're not even a little bit reserved when you're eating, and now you're pretending to be a lady in front of Instructor Ai when you're eating an ice cream.

Can't you be a little more spontaneous like me?

"Lu."

Azumarill glared at Haunter.

What do you know, you idiot.

"Jie."

Haunter didn't care and rolled its tongue in a big mouthful of ice cream.

Yeah.

What's wrong with being a loser?

I'm happy.

The interaction between the two Pokémon made Aisha and Red laugh.

Aisha had noticed.

Red tends to be more kind when it comes to Pokémon than when it comes to people.

"Legend has it that Gengar's body has a special alien space that can devour everything."

Looking at Instructor Ai's Haunter, Red recited his knowledge of Pokémon.

"Uh-huh."

This topic Instructor Ai also understands, Instructor Ai picked up his words and said, "In fact, many Ghost-type Pokémon have such legends or abilities, especially Gengar, the legend says that Mega Gengar possesses the power to link to the interdimensional world, so its body is attached to the ground, in fact, it's the lower half of its body is hidden in the interdimensional world, and it possesses the It has the ability to move between dimensions."

Red's eyes lit up.

Normally, he rarely found anyone to talk about Pokémon with.

Lance of the Kanto Elite Four was so busy working and fighting evil that Red didn't see him more than a few times a year.

Bruno is a big old man.

Grandma Agatha is very knowledgeable, but she's a bit prejudiced against the trainers that Professor Oak values, so Red doesn't really want to talk to her.

Lorelei simply doesn't want to talk about it.

His best enemy, Blue, was willing to talk to him at first, but after realizing that Red was only interested in Pokémon trivia, not in researching Pokémon, Blue slowly stopped talking to him as well.

Red was very sad.

Red boarded Mt. Silver.

Red spent his days silent in front of the snowstorm.

Today, he was surprised to find out that Instructor Ai knew a lot of Pokémon trivia, even Mega Gengar's trivia, so Red was very happy.

He looked at Instructor Ai with an eager face.

The fire in his eyes made Instructor Ai feel that he was not interested in him.

Finally, Red opened his mouth and said, "It's not just Mega Gengar, Gigantamax Gengar is the same, almost!"

"Right."

After confirming that Red was still only interested in Pokémon, Instructor Ai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gigantamax Gengar fits the legend from the looks of it, with a big mouth that's as big as the gates of hell... Legend has it that Gigantamax Gengar's body is filled with the power of damnation, and it is said that the other end of its huge mouth connects to the world of the afterlife, and that it sets deadly traps, and that if you stand in front of its mouth, you will hear the voice of your beloved calling out to you."

At the end, Aisha mentioned an urban legend.

This made Red even more satisfied with Instructor Ai.

"Granny Agatha's Gengar is also very powerful."

Red sighed and said, "After that Gengar mega evolve, even I had a hard time dealing with it."

"Yeah."

Aisha looked at the clear sky and recalled the time he had fought with Granny Agatha in Saffron City.

It's true that old people become sophisticated.

Granny Agatha's ace Gengar gave Instructor Ai a feeling that was no less than Summer's Gengar.

There is no doubt about her strength...

Of course, this also shows how strong Summer is.

After all, she's the leader of Dayan's Elite Four.

"Hey."

Thinking of Summer and Summer's quirky but often very sweet nanny Gengar, Aisha involuntarily smiled.

Red's mind also flew away.

Of Kanto's Elite Four, the one who gave him the most trouble wasn't Lance, who was also the Johto region Champion, but Granny Agatha.

Because of the characteristics of the Ghost-type Pokémon, Granny Agatha's strength does not diminish as she ages.

On the contrary, she always maintains her peak strength... Because of her constant research, her strength is truly unfathomable.

"Huh?"

Looking at Haunter, Red's eyes changed.

"Instructor Ai, this Haunter of yours, did he learn the 'Spirit Poison' method of Granny Agatha?"

"Yes."

Aisha didn't hide it and admitted Red's inquiry.

I have to say, Red's observation is really very sharp.

He could tell that Haunter had mastered 'Spirit Poison' just by his appearance.

"Haunter was able to learn Granny Agatha's secret technique at a young age, that's really good."

Red couldn't help but sigh in admiration, saying, "After it truly evolves into a Gengar, it will probably be the time when it completely masters the 'Spirit Poison' method."

"Right."

Aisha smiled.

Red's calculations were the same as his.

"I'm not very good at breeding, breeding is Instructor Ai's specialty for you and Blue."

Red shook his head and said, "When Haunter needs to evolve, I can help you contact Bill, and it just so happens that you know Silver as well, with the help of the two of them, Haunter's evolution into a Gengar will definitely go very smoothly."

"Thank you very much..."

Aisha was grateful.

Bill was the founder of the communication system.

Although he could have evolved Haunter with just any communication machine.

However, Instructor Ai was willing to give his Pokémon the best conditions.

"Jie?"

After finishing two tubs of ice cream, Haunter heard Aisha and Red discussing themselves, and cocked its head with a puzzled look at them.

Once again, they were amused.

"Speaking of which, speaking of Gigantamax Gengar, it seems that the ace card of that Ghost-type Gym Leader in the Galar region is the Gengar that can Gigantamax."

Red suddenly brought up the Galar region.

"You mean Allister?"

A short masked figure appeared in Instructor Ai's mind.

"Instructor Ai knows?"

"Well... After all, it's hard not to see how Galar's side promotes gym leader as a star."

"Indeed."

Red nodded and said, "It's all because of Chairman Rose."

Galar's Chairman Rose was a talented man.

He has a keen sense of business, such as implementing the Idol Trainer system, and having the champion Leon advertise.

It's rumored that Chairman Rose is also a powerful trainer who rose to fame after being runner-up in the Galar League.

In addition, almost all of Galar's businesses are owned by Rose, making him the equivalent of Kanto's Mr. Goodshow in the Galar region.

After that, Chairman Rose took the plunge and introduced Dynamax to the Gym Challenge and League Tournaments, a highly entertaining battle system that was perfect for performances and attracting spectators, which caused a huge sensation and success, making the League world-famous.

"Hey, Dynamax..."

Red shook his head.

He actually didn't like the way Dynamax fought.

The Dynamax in Galar had strict requirements on where to fight... At the same time, many trainers in Galar, including gym leaders, have a strong dependence on Dynamax, which led to the last Elite Four Tournament, in which Galar Gym Leader not do very well when they left their familiar surroundings.

Leon was the exception.

His strength is stronger not because of Dynamax.

So is Piers, a gym leader who doesn't like to use Dynamax.

But they're the only two exceptions.

Oh, and Raihan.

After all, Gigantamax Duraludon is really useless.

"I'm quite interested in Dynamax."

Instructor Ai wrapped his arms around his chest.

The Gen 8 battles were the best he'd ever experienced.

Dynamax's excellence was evident to many players.

"If I had the chance, I'd love to go to Galar and experience their Dynamax battles."

"There is a good chance."

"What?"

"After the Indigo Plateau Conference, the Galar region will start a new round of Gym Challenge... Instructor Ai, with your connections, it shouldn't be a problem to get a letter of recommendation from a high-ranking trainer, and if you want to experience a Dynamax match, you can try to participate."

"I don't think so."

Aisha shook his head.

He didn't have much time, and he didn't have time to travel around the Galar region for another year.

However, the Galar Region Championship Elimination Tournament was interesting.

Instead of the classic Shitennou Battle, challengers who had collected all eight badges competed in an elimination tournament with all ten gym leaders and champions of the Galar region, and the winner would become the champion.

It's the Galar region's signature matchmaking mechanic.

It's also a testament to the strength of Galar Champion Leon.

He's defended his title for years despite the intensity of the challenge.

The strength of his character is not to be underestimated.

"Okay."

After finishing his ice cream, Red clapped his hands together and pulled out a notebook.

"Instructor Ai, I know that you have mastered Charizard's Mega Evolution... This notebook of mine also records my experience of Charizard cultivation, and there is no lack of Mega Charizard cultivation and battle experience, it is a little bit better than Blue's book, you can use it as a gift from me when you treat me to ice cream."

"Ah!"

Aisha froze as Red slipped the notes into his hand.

Then, Red pulled on his mask and waved at Aisha.

"I'll go first, I'm looking for Lance for something!"

"Okay, bye..."

Seeing Red's back gradually disappearing in the crowd of people, Instructor Ai then turned around.

He looked down at the thick book of notes with several sticky notes in his hand, revealing a complicated expression.

"I've exploded Red's gold?"

Why do these powerful trainers like to give notes so much?

"Uh..."

Scratching his head, Instructor Ai looked puzzled.

Anyway, it's good stuff!

Red's Charizard was also an incredibly powerful existence, Instructor Ai had always felt that although Red's trump card was Pikachu, the strength of his Kanto Three Royal Families was no less than the trump card Pokémon of other Champion level trainers, and that was the confidence that as t he World's Strongest gave him.

"Uh-huh."

Rubbing his fingers over the title page of his notes, Instructor Ai wore an expression of excitement.

Charizard's mission from the system was to defeat Blue and Leon's Charizard.

Now, Instructor Ai's Charizard was using the same breeding method that Red had shared with him...

It's a great program!

...

In the afternoon's two matches, the winners were the monk from the Bell Tower from Johto region, and an apprentice from a less popular gym in Kanto, specializing in Pokémon with bad attributes.

The Indigo Plateau Conference Top 4 are now out!

After the results of the fourth match were announced, the schedule for the semi-finals was displayed in real time on the big screen in the main hall.

First match of the morning, Aisha vs. Wally!

...

Pokémon Center at night.

"What, your semifinal opponent is Instructor Ai?"

Sapphire's figure appeared on the big screen of the Pokémon Center's video phone, and she looked at Wally in front of the phone with a surprised face, saying, "It's actually Instructor Ai?"

"Ah... Yes."

Wally smiled, confirming Sapphire's words.

Beside Sapphire, Ruby smiled and pushed up her glasses.

He looked at Wally over here, looking at Wally's much stronger body, and said, "Congratulations, Wally, for making it to the semifinals."

"Instructor Ai is a very strong opponent, I know you have some pressure against him, however, Instructor Ai is also a very good person, you don't need to be afraid."

"No."

Wally smiled and shook his head.

He appreciated Ruby's concern and caution.

In fact, ever since he and Ruby had met, it had been the better, more mature Ruby who had taken care of him in every way.

But Wally really wasn't nervous or scared this time.

"I'm not scared, I know Instructor Ai is a good person."

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the image of the beautiful black-haired boy smiling at him in front of the ramen stand that night.

How could someone like that be afraid?

He was as gentle as the bright moon in the sky...

Wally was satisfied to fight him, even if he lost.

"Well... Actually, Sapphire and I have been following your matches, and by the way, we've also been researching about Instructor Ai."

After a moment of silence, Ruby spoke.

Sapphire nodded in response.

As Wally's companions, the two of them were well aware of Wally's strength - it was only a little bit weaker than the two of them.

Not to brag, according to Wally's strength, under normal circumstances, winning the Indigo Plateau Conference would be a sure thing.

Unfortunately, this year's Indigo Plateau Conference has an Aisha...

It was fate that the fish fryer met a stronger fish fryer.

"At this point, there are only three Pokémon left that Instructor Ai hasn't used yet." Ruby analyzed for Wally what to look for in tomorrow's battle, saying, "That's the shiny Metang that the champion Steven gave him, the Charizard that defeated Sapphire and I, and the Caterpie that's said to be his starter Pokémon."

"Uh-huh!"

Sapphire chimed in.

"According to Instructor Ai's habit of sending out the weaker Pokémon first, tomorrow, his first Pokémon will probably be shiny Metang, and then Charizard, and these two Pokémon will have one with an attack and one with a special attack, so remember that."

"Right!"

Sapphire said, "I was thinking the same thing."

"Good."

Wally responded with a smile, his eyes filled with gratitude for Ruby.

Instructor Ai was strong, strong enough to beat Ruby and Sapphire.

Wally knew he was no match for them.

However, Ruby and Sapphire, after knowing that their opponent was Instructor Ai, still tried their best to analyze the information and tactics for themselves.

This... It's a reflection of their concern and recognition of themselves.

Wally, who had worked hard for his family's approval, was very satisfied with this treatment.

"Charizard is very good at attacking with Flamethrower, Fire Blast and Hurricane are also very powerful moves that it specializes in, so be careful not to use water or rock-attributed Pokémon against it, and its Solar Beam builds up its power very quickly, and my Zuzu almost suffered from this move..."

"Ah!"

Listening to Ruby and Sapphire's words, the smile on Wally's face unconsciously grew.

As if, his wish to participate in this Indigo Plateau Conference had been realized.

...

The semi-finals, the finals, and the third place match after the finals will be held at the main venue.

The four contestants will battle it out under the light of Moltres' sacred flame.

Aisha was outside the Budew Drop Inn when he received a call from his family's No.1 sister.

"Hello?"

After answering the phone, Summer's voice, which he hadn't heard in a while, reached his ears.

Although it was only one word, Instructor Ai, who knew no. 1's temperament very well, could hear the joy in her voice.

"I'm here."

Instructor Ai smiled and responded to Summer, saying, "I made it to the semi-finals~"

"You're acting like a child if you want to show off even though you're in the semi-finals."

Summer used the same voice full of laughter to tease Aisha who was looking happy.

"At least it's an honor, this is the first time in my life I've participated in the League Conference!"

"Yeah, it's my first time to participate in the League, so you have to bring me back a championship."

"Of course!"

"What a shame." Summer sighed softly over there and said, "I wanted to see your Haunter fight, but I didn't realize that Azumarill went up and killed them all in the back."

"I also want to show a wave of operation to come, did not realize that Gary does not give me this opportunity, that, of course, Azumarill also do not give him the opportunity."

"Yes."

Hearing Aisha say that, Summer didn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"Then feel or let Azumarill kill all good, you show operation, Blue his brother afraid tonight will not sleep."

Haunter in Instructor Ai's hands can play a role in how, Summer Tian Wang is very clear.

After all, the day she and Aisha first met, Aisha had given her a list of Gengar's dirty tricks in the café.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Instructor Ai really used Haunter against Gary.

If Instructor Ai were to use Haunter against Gary, even if Gary's six Pokémon had one routine each, Instructor Ai wouldn't be able to use up all of her routines.

When the show ends, Haunter can even sing a Perish Song to cheer him up...

"Aye."

Summer was feeling emotional because she remembered something from the past.

"It's been a year."

"Yeah, how have you been doing?"

"It's still the same~" Summer said in a lazy tone, "Maybe trainers specializing in dragon attributes are all workaholics. The champion guy took over most of the tasks, and some of the work was still in the hands of Mr. Cuthbert. The remaining two guys and I have a lot of leisure time."

"Moreover, because of your performance in Indigo Plateau Conference, the Pokémon you used are all the Pokémon you bred in less than a year, especially Azumarill, Rotom, and Ralts, those voices questioning you in the League are also gradually going down, and even the people who are against me are no longer there, I am even more idle."

Summer's tone of voice, with inexhaustible ease.

At these words, Aisha also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Summer would be pressurized by the Dayan League because of what happened to her.

However, with his gradual rise to prominence, Summer's side has also become more relaxed.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down..." Aisha muttered.

In the future, there would be plenty of opportunities for him to make a name for himself.

"What?"

Summer wasn't listening.

"No, I said it's time for me to find a new house when I return to Dayan."

Indeed, as the Pokémon evolved and grew up, Instructor Ai's original bachelor apartment had become uninhabitable.

"Huh?" Summer said, "Didn't we agree to stay at my place when we came back?"

"When did you say that?"

"Now."

"Lance told me that boys should protect themselves when they go out..."

"Dayans don't listen to Kanto!" Summer said firmly, "Don't listen to that guy, he's using flying Pokémon as dragons!"

At that moment, inside Indigo Plateau's warehouse, Lance sneezed.

"...What's going on?"

Lance tightened his cloak and said, "Too cold?"

"That's not right..."

He looked at the special storage table in front of him, and between the transparent glass, there was a reddish feather burning like a flame.

It was Moltres' feather, the prize for the winner of the Indigo Plateau Conference.

Well, it wasn't the prize Lance had prepared for Instructor Ai.
