Looking For Monsters In the Progress

The forest was quiet, and the trees blocked the sunlight from the sky.

Walking between the tall trees, Aisha felt like he was back in the Viridian Forest.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

The distinctive call of a rodent rang through the swaying grass.

A purple shadow flashed, and a rustling sound accompanied the breeze through the tall grass.

The black shadow reflected on the ground, obscuring the wild Pokémon's view.

Rattata lifted its head from the green grass and looked above it with a curious expression.

In the next moment, it was startled by the huge object in front of it.

"Squeek!"

The badly frightened Rattata ran like hell and disappeared into a hole in the ground.

"Hahahahahaha."

Aisha was amused.

He patted the shiny Metagross underneath him, and said, "Metagross, I didn't realize that after you evolved, your aura is so strong that even the wild Pokémon on the side of the road can be scared by you."

"Me-ta-!!!"

Below, shiny Metagross, who had been teased by the trainer, showed a helpless expression.

It can't be like this either.

It's obvious that Rattata was too cowardly.

"Loto, you can't blame him for being a coward."

Listening to what shiny Metagross said, Rotom couldn't help but spit out a comment.

It looked up and down at shiny Metagross and shook its head.

At this moment, shiny Metagross had already become Instructor Ai's means of transportation.

Standing over two meters tall, the steel beast raised four incredibly thick metal arms and stacked them on top of its thick body.

Like a flying saucer or ufo, it floated in mid-air one meter above the ground, relying on magnetic force and superpower fluctuations.

In this position, shiny Metagross was at least five meters long.

That's certainly a big monster for a Rattata.

Not to mention that Metagrosses have a very special body structure, with their large mouths being placed on their lower abdomen.

Imagine... You're a Rattata, and you look up and see a five-meter-long steel monster floating above your head, with a big mouth on its belly facing your head.

Are you scared?

"That Rattata will not sleep for three days at home, loto."

With an agile spin, the Rotom phone floated to Aisha's side.

It was lazy, lying on top of shiny Metagross's head, and hitched a ride.

Shiny Metagross was able to carry Instructor Ai in the Metang era, and now that it has evolved, it has become a solid steel chariot.

It has a spacious headliner that can accommodate several people at the same time.

At the same time, by utilizing magnetic force and psychic power to float, it is able to travel on land, sea, and air, regardless of the terrain.

In addition, shiny Metagross moves at a speed that is not slow at all.

It's perfect for transportation through the mountains and forests.

"Lar!"

Following behind shiny Metagross, Larvitar, who was looking around with a curious look on its face, picked up a rock and threw it away with disappointment after realizing that it wasn't its favorite type of food.

"Hahah." Aisha watched in amusement.

When Larvitar was a signboard at the Celadon City Game Corner, the old Rockets used to treat it like an ancestor that makes money.

After it joined the team, the ore he fed it was of the same high quality as shiny Metagross.

This kid's had a lot since it was a kid.

How can this kind of stone be suitable for its picky taste?

"Jie!"

Shiny Haunter has taken to its mischievous nature and is free to roam the forest.

Up and down the trees, scaring Weedle on the side of the road - it seems to like scaring Weedle.

Instructor Ai was ready to show it what Giovanni's Beedrill could do.

Of course, the fact that it hasn't gone far is a sign that Instructor Ai has done a good job with shiny Haunter.

Its mischievous nature was still there, but it was no longer as wild as it used to be, and it would keep an eye on the surroundings from time to time to prevent any wild Pokémon from attacking him.

"Ruu~"

'What a clear river...'

Ralts ran to the edge of the river and couldn't help but smile as it saw itsface reflected in the clear water.

"Chansey~" Chansey was keeping an eye on Ralts, fearing that it might accidentally fall into the river.

The current here was fast, so it would be a big mistake to fall in.

"Uh..."

Sitting on the back of shiny Metagross, Aisha was also looking at the river that was winding its way upwards.

According to Chien-Pao's information about Chi-Yu's location, and Aisha and Rotom phone's analysis of one Pokémon per person.

Chi-Yu's location is probably the birthplace of several rivers in this mountainous area...

In other words, it's only a matter of time before you find a river by following it upwards.

Once you find the source, you've found Chi-Yu.

"Now the hardest problem is solved first."

Aisha's expression was a bit odd.

When others were searching for Mythical and Legendary Pokémon, they had to go through a lot of painstaking and precise calculations, and then they had to search for a long time before they could find a trace of the target.

He's good...

Chien-Pao was the one who came to the door, and after being beaten up by Rayquaza, it just gave in.

When Chien-Pao gave in, it exposed the location of the other three Treasures of Ruin to Aisha.

All you need to do is to be strong enough to conquer them...

But what's the difference between giving them away for nothing?

"I'm looking forward to Chi-Yu's strength."

Rubbing Chien-Pao's Poké ball, Aisha's mind wandered for a while before returning to reality.

"However, there is still a test before that."

According to Chien-Pao, Chi-Yu would definitely arrange Pokémon to stop them on their way.

Only after defeating these Pokémon manipulated by Chi-Yu could Aisha move on.

He was no stranger to this maneuver.

Chien-Pao had arranged for a dozen Ice-type Pokémon to intercept Aisha on Mt. Chien as a test.

Instructor Ai was not yet able to fight monsters physically, and with only Caterpie and Azurill at hand, he had a hard time dealing with the situation.

As a result, Chien-Pao was unable to fight Caterpie.

Caterpie evolved into Rayquaza and beat him up...

Now there's no need for Caterpie to fight again.

"This time, I'm counting on you guys."

Aisha looked at the four children following shiny Metagross.

Although these kids hadn't evolved to their final form yet, their strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

If they worked together, they wouldn't have any trouble if they weren't too scary high-level Pokémon.

In addition... Aisha's shiny Metagross and Rotom Phone are no slouches.

If Chi-Yu had attracted any overpowered beings, they would be ready to protect the little ones.

"Me-ta-!!!"

At this time, shiny Metagross that was carrying Aisha forward gave a low roar.

Aisha heard the alarm in his voice and looked up into the distance.

"What's going on?"

"I'll take a look at loto!"

Rotom phone was instantly energized.

It floated straight up into the sky.

A few moments later, Rotom Phone descended, its tone serious.

"Instructor Ai, there's a large group of wild Pokémon rushing towards us in the distance... Not only them, but several groups of the same wild Pokémon packs are rioting without warning, and if nothing else, they're all aiming for the same thing, all of them are us!"

"Oh."

Aisha simply answered.

Wild Pokémon rioting en masse...

It was unexpected, but it made sense.

Chi-Yu had been hostile to himself and Chien-Pao from the very beginning, so his actions would be no easier.

Take control of the leaders of the wild Pokémon packs in the mountains and forests in the area, and then trigger a riot among the packs, creating a small-scale wave of beasts.

This is indeed a good idea.

"Unfortunately, I'm not afraid."

Aisha revealed a smile and looked at Ralts, Larvitar, and Shiny Haunter.

"Ralts use Calm Mind, Haunter use Nasty Plot, Larvitar use Dragon Dance!" he gave three different enhancement commands in a row.

"Bring your enhancement levels to full!"

With that, he looked off into the distance, where the roar of a wild Pokémon was already faintly heard.

"When I went up the mountain, I was going to take this opportunity to let the little ones have a decent wild practice on their own, not relying on the help of their seniors and experiencing the feeling of brushing monsters on their own with all their might, but I didn't expect you to help me pull the monsters straight away... Thank you, Chi-Yu."

If Instructor Ai were to guide the little ones on their own, he would have to look around for wild Pokémon colonies, which would be very troublesome.

Instead, Chi-Yu delivered the experience packs directly to his face.

If he didn't brush up on his experience, he'd be sorry for the fish's efforts.

"Ruu."

'Calm Mind.'

Ralts showed a serious expression, and a light flashed on his body.

"Jie!"

"Lar!"

Shiny Haunter and Larvitar also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately began to raise their enhancement levels.

"Unfortunately, it can't be broadcast live."

Aisha shook his head.

This time he came out to subdue Chi-Yu, so in order not to cause some unnecessary trouble, it was better not to broadcast it live.

Five minutes later, along with an earth-shaking roar, a robust Granbull punched over a large tree and ran into Aisha's field of vision.

"Roar!"

The appearance of this Granbull was like the horn of a charge.

Behind it, an overwhelming number of wild Pokémon came out.

Sandslash, Golem, and Arbok.

And hordes of Rattata and Raticate.

It's a classic configuration in the wild.

"Attack!"

Aisha stood on top of the tiny Metagross and waved his hand.

"Ralts and Larvitar with Psychic and Rock Slide, Haunter with Shadow Ball and decapitation!"

"Jie!"

Shiny Haunter, who had been strengthened by three Nasty Plots, immediately threw out a Shadow Ball.

The high-speed rotating Shadow Ball slammed into the face of the foremost Granbull.

The Vanguard immediately fell to the ground and stopped moving.

"Ru!"

'I'm going to blow you away!'

"Lar!"

Ralts and Larvitar raised their small hands at the back.

Immediately, a tsunami of psychic energy waves and pieces of rock came out like a raging wind and rain.

The wild Pokémon at the front of the group were killed in a flash.

The minions couldn't hold out against their combined attack.

Relying on ita high mobility, shiny Haunter penetrated deep into the enemy's back, holding a Shadow Ball in one hand, and rushed straight into the faces of the pack leaders.

"Jie!"

It laughed as it clasped its hand on a Sandslash's face.

The Shadow Ball detonated, and the Sandslash was blown up into the air.

With a backhand from shiny Haunter, another Shadow Ball hit a Golem in the back of the head.

"Go!"

Golem wailed, falling to the ground and running over some innocent Oddish.

Soon, the wild Pokémon were wiped out.

However, new enemies appeared right away.

Aisha saw a number of Grass-type Pokémon among the attacking Pokémon.

A few Vileplume and Bellossom were leading groups of Oddish and Gloom.

Between Paras and Parasect, which were so dense that one would shudder at the sight of them, there were a few Victreebel.

He even saw a couple of Exeggutor following at the back of the group, their eyes glowing with psychic powers- they had been sniped by shiny Haunter at the first opportunity.

Ralts and Larvitar continued to clear the line with Psychic and Rock Slide.

Once the leader was defeated, the remaining stragglers were too disorganized to be cleaned up by them.

"Jie..."

Like a real ghost, shiny Haunter flickered in the middle of the army.

Every time it stretched out his ghostly hands, it was able to kill a strong wild Pokémon.

"Ru!"

'Awesome!'

Ralts' Psychic was able to cover the tiny Haunter that was traveling through the enemy ranks while clearing out the stragglers.

"Lar~" Larvitar simply let loose with its attack.

Its Rock Slide fell in large swathes, and the rocks were like raindrops, showing no mercy.

"Huh?"

Aisha's eyes glanced to the river next to her, where the water flowed in an unusual way.

A stream of water rose to the sky, and there was a Poliwrath, jumping out of the river with a clenched fist.

"Chansey." Aisha warned.

"Chansey~"

In the next moment, Chansey, who had already noticed the difference in the river, waved his hand, and a heavy pressure was applied to Poliwrath's shoulders.

"Croak!"

The blue-skinned frog fell to the ground.

Shadow Ball from shiny Haunter followed and finished it off.

"Jie!"

Shiny Haunter made a wave through the enemy army and floated back to shiny Metagross.

Chansey rushed forward, raised its hand, and unleashed Heal Pulse on it.

"Chansey!"

Some of the fine wounds on shiny Haunter's body quickly recovered.

"Jie~" shiny Haunter scratched its big head in embarrassment.

By the time it had recovered from all of its wounds, Ralts and Larvitar had cleared out all of the stragglers.

"Ruu..."

'I'm exhausted.'

"Lar!"

Ralts and Larvitar sat down on the ground, panting from exhaustion.

Although most of the enemies were killed in one hit, the number of these wild Pokémon was just too much.

But...

Ralts and Larvitar, and even Shiny Haunter and Chansey, all wore a look of excitement on their faces.

This was the first time they had taken on a wild Pokémon of this size on their own, without the protection of their predecessors.

The result was a resounding victory!

"Ruu!"

'That's great!'

"Lar!"

"Jie!"

"Chansey."

The four kids hugged each other happily and laughed heartily.

Although Ralts and Larvitar were basically unharmed, Chansey still gave them a Heal Pulse at the first opportunity.

"That's really good, loto."

"Me-ta-!!!"

Rotom phone and shiny Metagross looked at each other with a nostalgic gleam in their eyes.

At the time, they were also practicing with the difficult field training like this, constantly defeating the large swathes of incoming enemies and practicing their combat power.

"Not bad..."

Aisha applauded for the four little ones.

His eyes were glittering with joy.

The eagle's wings were growing, and it was only a matter of time before they would be able to take charge of their own.

Larvitar and Shiny Haunter had been to the Dojo Challenge, and Ralts had been to the Indigo Plateau Conference.

But there's a huge difference between fighting in the field and on stage.

That's why traveling trainers are much stronger than academy trainers...

All in all, after this field training, these three Pokémon, including Chansey, who is the team doctor, will surely be transformed.

"Chansey!"

Chansey was walking through the battlefield, releasing Heal Pulse.

Aisha had arranged for him to restore the defeated wild Pokémon, not completely, but just to give them the ability to move.

In this way, even though the healing power of a single Pokémon didn't need to be too great, the combination of such a large number of Pokémon was an excellent opportunity for Chansey to exercise.

After the defeated Pokémon woke up, they didn't intend to continue fighting, but scattered.

"Alright, let's move on!"

Seeing this, Aisha led the way.

They still had a long way to go.

Likewise, there were still a lot of enemies left.

"Buzz...!"

After almost two hours of advancing once again, an ear-piercing buzzing sound reached Aisha's ears.

When he looked up, it was an overwhelming number of Beedrill flying over.

The Beedrill army was followed by the Fearow flock... Two of the most annoying Pokémon in the forest came together.

"Everyone, prepare to fight!"
