I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"I see."

Aisha nodded.

Having said that, he actually knew what Mary wanted to ask him.

"I, I want to ask Coach Ai for advice on how to cultivate Dark-attribute Pokémon, and how to become very powerful without using Gigantamax!"

Mary made up her mind and told Aisha her idea.

"Ah, this..."

"Hey, Mary!"

Just when Aisha was about to answer Mary's questions, a deep male voice came from behind Mary.

"Brother, brother..."

Mary turned her head and saw her brother, Nie Zi.

"Ok?"

Aisha also looked over and looked at the young man with black hair and white highlights.

He was hunched over, looked listless, and walked unsteadily, looking quite carefree...

Well, this rocks!

Nie Zi's image perfectly coincides with all the stereotypes of rock musicians in Ai Xia's mind.

The famous bassist, Ryo Yamada, once said that the three major hobbies of rock music are smoking, drinking, and playing with women.

I wonder how many of them Nie Zi got?

"Mary, why are you here?"

Nie Zi came to Mary's side, frowned, looked at him, and then looked at Aixia with an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, Coach Ai, my silly sister always acts impulsively. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll take her back right away."

"No!"

However, Mary's reaction was surprisingly big.

She shook off Nie Zi's hand that was reaching out to grab her wrist, revealing a stubborn expression.

"No, brother, you've been getting worse and worse lately. I can't stand it anymore!"

Afterwards, through Mary's narration, Aisha and Xiaoyou learned a lot of unknown things.

For example, the reason why Nie Zi doesn't use Gigantamax is not because he doesn't like it, nor is it because of rebelliousness or something like that, but because his hometown, Spike Town, does not have any Gigantamax energy points, so Gigantamax battles are impossible.

Ever since President Ross came to power and began implementing the system of Dynamax battles, Spike Town, which has no Dynamax energy points, has become increasingly depressed.

The Spike Gym is the last resort for Spike Town.

In order to protect the land he loved so much and to maintain the livelihood of the folks in Spike Town, Nie Zicai stayed in Spike Town. No matter how President Ross and others threatened, bribed, reasoned, or moved him with emotion, he was unwilling to go to other places with Gigantamax energy points to build a Spike Arena.

This is also the reason why the band is vigorously developing its side businesses and attracting a large number of fans.

Because of this, he has a character that doesn't like Gigantamax battles.

But the problem is that Nie Zi himself is not a super talented trainer.

Without relying on Dynamax, in recent years, his strength has gradually failed to keep up with the pace of Chibana, Poplar and others.

It is only a matter of time before Ka Wu and the others surpass him.

In this way, in a few years, not to mention the Spike Town, even Nie Zi himself might be fired by President Luo Zi one day and lose his job.

Therefore, Nie Zi has become more and more impetuous and anxious in recent times.

Mary, as her brother's younger sister, saw all the changes in him and was worried about him.

She wanted to help Nie Zi and share his worries and solve his problems.

Just at this time, Mary saw Aisha's battle.

She and Xiaoyou are good friends and also rivals, so naturally she has heard Xiaoyou mention a lot about Aixia.

Xiaoyou is capable and Mary recognizes that.

After all, she was a super genius who reached the championship level in just one year. When Mary fought against her, she never won once.

Xiaoyou’s most common saying is, “If it weren’t for my teacher, I wouldn’t be able to reach this level.”

Mali thought, if she could get Aisha's help, would it be possible to alleviate Nie Zi's urgent needs?

That's why she came to visit Aisha today.

"you......"

After listening to Mary's story, looking at his sister's face and her eyes that were faintly flashing with tears because of shyness and worry, Nie Zi fell silent.

He always thought Mary was a child who knew nothing.

But he didn't expect that this sister whom he protected like a child could now share his worries.

"All right."

Aixia waved her hand, interrupting this scene of brotherly love and sisterly respect.

"It's no big deal. I'm not a petty person. You two shouldn't quarrel over such a thing."

Aixia took out her cell phone and showed Nie Zi a QR code.

"Come, join a group."

"what?"

Hearing this, Nie Zi was stunned.

He thought Aixia would give him some secrets, but who knew she would ask him to join the group.

What is the purpose of joining the group?

Look at the tongue picture?

"Hey."

Nie Zi touched his chin and gave Ai Xia a look that said, "Brother, you have good taste."

"..."

Aisha was speechless.

"This is a communication group for several of our champions, the Four Heavenly Kings, and some gym leaders. We often chat about Pokémon battles and training in it. Ms. Rika, one of the Dark-attribute Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region, and Kagetsu from neighboring Hoenn are also active members of the group. If you join the group, you can also learn their techniques."

As she spoke, Aisha looked at Mary.

"As for what Marie said about becoming very powerful without Dynamaxing... well, you can use Mega Evolution or Z-Moves. Dark-type Pokémon like Gyarados, Absol, and Haunted Eyes are also very powerful after Mega Evolution, no weaker than their Dynamax counterparts. And Z-Moves, whether it's the universal Dark-type Black Hole Devouring Destruction or the exclusive Z-Move of Snarl, the Dark Leap Smash transformed from DD-Hook, are all key forces that can determine the outcome of a battle if used well."

After saying that, Aisha sighed.

"For the corresponding Mega Evolution Stones, Key Stones, Z Pure Crystals, Z Bracelets, and other things, you can consult the big guys in the group."

"oh oh......"

"Eh......"

Nie Zi and Mali were stunned after hearing this. They could only nod their heads blankly and scan the QR code to join Aixia's group.

"I saw that Mega Evolutions and Z-Moves weren't banned in this year's Champions Tournament, so you can use them. Mega Absol and Mega Gyarados are pretty cool, and they suit your image quite well."

Aixia smiled and patted Nie Zi's shoulder.

"Just imagine, your Spike Gym is the only gym in the entire Galar region that can use Mega Evolution and Z-Moves. Wouldn't that make you famous?"

"It's true..."

Hearing Ai Xia's words, Nie Zi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

At this time, his and Mary's application to join the group was approved by Aisha.

Mary immediately opened the group list and the first person she saw was the group chat management.

Group leader, Aisha.

Administrators, Red, Green, Daigo, Mikoli, Takeran...

"hiss."

Mary gasped.

This, this, this, what an all-star lineup!

"elder brother."

Mali tugged at the corner of Nie Zi's clothes and whispered.

"We seem to have found a golden opportunity..."

"Don't make any noise."

Nie Zi said.

"I'm thinking about how to marry you to Coach Ai... or I can marry you myself."

Mary: "?"

......

When a new member joins the group, everyone gives him the usual welcome.

Nie Zi and Mali were very surprised. They originally thought that big guys like Chi Hong were all very cold and had the demeanor of masters, and would not bother to deal with small people like them.

But after chatting for more than ten minutes, I found that everyone was unexpectedly friendly. Several champions in the management were also quite easy-going, and the atmosphere of the chat was quite harmonious.

The process of purchasing Mega Evolution Stones and Key Stones was very smooth.

Because there was a miner named Daigo in the group, Nie Zi easily bought a key stone and Absol's Mega Evolution Stone from him.

Although this almost used up all his savings, Key Stones and Mega Evolution Stones have always been in short supply and you will miss out on them if you miss the opportunity.

Moreover, when Nie Zi thought that his strength could keep up with other gym leaders and that Spike Town might prosper as a result, he felt that it was a huge profit.

In order to express his gratitude to Ai Xia, Nie Zi took out his remaining savings and treated Ai Xia and the others to a big meal.

After that, it was Mary's battle.

Marie is good at battling with evil-attribute Pokémon, and has a calm and steady fighting style, showing a talent that surpasses his brother.

Morubeko has the characteristics of being full and hungry, can switch freely between two forms, and is proficient in the move of Aura Wheel.

After Dynamaxing, it uses Gigantamax Sleeper to descend, a hairy giant that can hypnotize opposing Pokémon, even Dynamax Pokémon.

There is also the extremely fast Cool Leopard, the turbaned thug who is strong enough to kill his opponent with one blow, the poisonous skull frog who is good at using poison-attribute moves and poison defense tactics, and a big mouth baby with intimidating characteristics.

Mary defeated Kabuto at the cost of losing three Pokémon and injuring the remaining three Pokémon, and advanced to the quarterfinals.

"Come to think of it, the hypnotic tactics of the Giganotosaurus and the poison defense of the Toxic Skull Frog were learned by Mary after watching your videos."

In the viewing box, Nie Zi said to Aisha with a complicated expression as he watched Mary let the Gigantamax Longhair descend with the Gigantamax Sleeper, successfully hypnotizing Kawu's Gigantamax Incinerator, and then knocked it down with two Gigantamax Bullies.

"Oh?"

Aisha was stunned when she heard this, and went to her live broadcast room to search for Mary's ID, and found that she was actually her governor.

"hiss."

Aisha hissed.

It is known that Xiaoyou is his apprentice, Caidou and he have had physical intimacy, and Dandi, Hepu, Lulina and Mali are his friends in the live broadcast room.

"Is this championship challenge going to become another one of my friend matches?"

"Why do you say 'again'?"

Nie Zi was puzzled.

Aisha smiled but said nothing.

On the second and third days, the remaining five matches of the quarterfinals were played one after another.

Dandi faced Magua.

Hep versus beauty.

The gym leader and his mother both lost to the champion brothers, and Dante and Hep also advanced.
