I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

I wonder when the task assigned to Maril by the system can be completed?

Aixia was also a little curious about the quality of the water and fairy attribute treasures produced by the system...

Coach Ai is keen on exploding the system's gold coins.

"Martial arts."

Holding Maril, rubbing the little water bear's head with her hands, Aisha also thought about martial arts.

Although Nobuhiko's strength is not that good.

However, his flying leg move is indeed interesting.

By stretching its legs to fight, and combining it with the kicking techniques that the Pokémon is good at, Flying Legs can exert combat power far beyond its own strength.

This is the power of martial arts.

Complement strength with skill.

"It's interesting."

Aisha's eyes lit up.

"Those guys said that Xiba is a martial arts master. If there is a chance, I can ask him for some advice."

Thinking of the fighting king of Kanto and Johto, Aisha's mind became much more active.

In my impression, Shiba is a person with a particularly good temper.

The man was worthy of the title of martial artist. Not only was he very hardworking during his daily training, he was also extremely friendly to people and things, without any airs of a superior.

No wonder those martial artists regard Shiba as their idol.

If someone is really lucky enough to meet Shiba who is practicing in the wild, maybe he can really teach them a move or two.

After all, Nobuhiko's special martial arts of flying kicks is Shiba's signature skill, and it is very likely that it was taught by that man.

"If I remember correctly, Shiba and the Fujiki Gym Master from Hoenn are from the same school...they at least trained together for a period of time."

Following the setting of the special comic, Aisha remembered the gym leader in the fighting town.

"Combat is divided into two levels of skill. Xiba has mastered the 'Secret of Hardness', which is extremely strong and fierce. All of his moves focus on extreme offensive power, training his body and strength, using his own power to split mountains and shatter rocks with a single blow. Fujishu, on the other hand, has mastered the 'Secret of Softness', which is a technique that uses a little force to move a large object. All of his moves are completely oriented towards roaming techniques, like using the opponent's force to counterattack, becoming stronger when facing a stronger opponent."

The mysteries that the two practiced also determined their way of practice.

Hiba stays in the deep mountains and forests all day long to train his body and that of Pokémon. It is not uncommon for him to fight wild Pokémon with his bare hands. The powerful strength is hidden in his muscles, and can be poured out without reservation with the release of his moves.

Fujishu specifically chose the coastal island of Wudou Town. He spent the whole day carrying a surfboard and surfing on the sea with the power of the waves. He drifted with the ups and downs of the waves, and through this, he comprehended the soft technique of going with the flow, and fought entirely relying on his skills.

"If you meet Shiba, you can ask him how to learn the 'Secret of Strength'."

Aisha already had an idea.

That's right.

For Maril, the most suitable martial arts secret is naturally the "Secret of Hardness" which is extremely hard and fierce.

It has learned the 'Secret of Hardness' based on its super strength and strongman characteristics. With such destructive power, no one can withstand its punches.

If there is a chance later, it is not impossible to learn the "secret of softness" by the way.

It is better to say that as a water-attribute Pokémon, Maril might be able to integrate the 'secret of hardness' and the 'secret of softness', complement each other, and cultivate a martial art that is unique to him.

"dew!"

Malilu lay in Aisha's arms, listening to him talking to himself.

The clever little water bear naturally knew that his master was looking for a special way to improve his own strength.

"Lu~"

Maril clenched her fists and showed a determined expression.

Even for Aisha, it must work extremely hard to learn martial arts skills.

"dew......"

Its eyes flickered.

Marilu also has some little ideas.

Once upon a time, it was Aisha's general.

The Pokémon that helped its master win the first trophy in the 'Rookie Tournament' by fishing with all his might was the unevolved Marill.

Now, with new partners with outstanding talents and ready-made combat capabilities such as Chansey, Gastly, and Young Kills joining the team one after another, there is also Ralts, the offspring chosen by Caterpillar himself, waiting to hatch in the egg. Charmeleon and Shiningmetal are rapidly becoming stronger with the significant increase in their racial stats. Even Eevee is improving its strength in an orderly manner. Maril's presence in the team has actually become much weaker.

It's a little anxious...

It will take some time for Maril to evolve again.

Therefore, it completed its training very diligently on weekdays, and devoted more time to learning and deepening its mastery of the moves.

However, the limitations of Marill's form are still too strong.

It can't compare to Charmeleon and Metallo.

Although they were from the same period, those two guys had already left Maril behind...

"good."

When Malilu was worried about her lack of strength, Aisha put her hand on her head.

“You don’t have to think about so many things.”

His voice was as gentle as ever. As soon as Marilu heard Aisha's comfort, all the distressing things she felt disappeared.

"You are no worse than the other students. You are all excellent children."

Coach Ai, who would never play favorites, comforted the unbalanced Marill, saying, "You're already very powerful now. Just now, you defeated the martial artist's two Pokémon with ease."

Aisha had actually already noticed Marilu's distress.

Today, I brought Maril to play with Nobuhiko in order to help the child regain his confidence.

However, it now seems that Marilu's thoughts are more delicate than he thought.

"Although there's still some time before evolution, you can use this time to accumulate more strength so that you can soar to the sky when you evolve." Aisha explained the path she had planned for Maril, saying, "However, since you also want to become stronger immediately, we have another way. I will find you a martial artist who is proficient in the 'Secret of Strength'. That training method is very suitable for you."

"dew!"

Maril's eyes lit up.

Just now, it also witnessed the power of the flying leg man who learned dance, and naturally it felt a strong sense of anticipation.

Can I learn martial arts too?

Okay, I must learn to become One Punch Man who can defeat all enemies with one punch.

Well, One Punch Marill!

"Ha~"

Seeing that Marilu had suddenly regained her confidence, Aisha was also in a good mood.

Marill was the first Pokémon that he had captured personally, so it was impossible for him to not care about it.

Fortunately, this child has a good attitude and is obedient, so he is very easy to raise.

Looking at the problem from its perspective, it is normal to feel confused at times. Malilugui quickly returned to normal after his knot in his heart was untied.

Good boy.

Coach Ai was very satisfied.

"Jie!"

Suddenly, Gastly made a warning sound from within Aisha's shadow.

"dew?"

"Ok?"

Hearing the sound, Maril and Aisha raised their heads together.

At some point, the man and his two pets had walked into a small alley, away from the bustling crowds of Jinhuang City.

The city is bustling.

However, they have gradually moved away from this excitement.

"......oh?"

Emitting his own superpower fluctuations, Aisha showed an expression of enlightenment.

"My Psychic didn't react to the guidance of a Ghost or Psychic-type Pokémon, and it's still working so quietly and unnoticed. So, it must be a high-level trainer who's proficient in Ghost-type Pokémon who's causing this."

"dew......"

"Jie."

While Aisha was thinking, Malilu jumped out of his arms, stood on the ground and looked around with a suspicious look on her face.

Gastly poked half of his head out from under Aisha's shadow.

They guarded Aisha from the front and back, keeping an eye out for enemies and attacks that might come from all around.

"When did Team Rocket get such a powerful ghost attribute master?"

Aisha was a little confused.

After thinking about it, the only people who attacked me were those guys from Team Rocket.

"..."

Looking back at the entrance of the alley, Aisha was silent for a moment.

I discovered the problem before I stepped into the trap, and I can get out of it at any time if I want.

However, he was still curious about who was following and plotting against him.

"Heh~"

With a sneer, Aisha put on a cold expression and walked straight into the depths of the alley.

"..."

The alley was very narrow, and Aisha soon reached the end.

Dead end.

"An old-fashioned trap."

Aisha complained like this.

The next moment, his eyes became stern, and a thin layer of superpower fluctuations covered his white fist, and he suddenly smashed it backwards.

"Jie~"

A funny laugh reached Aisha's ears.

That's a Gengar.

There was an energy shield standing in front of its body, blocking Aisha's fist.

"dew?"

"Jie!"

Marill and Gastly were also horrified—they had no idea the enemy was approaching.

"Gengar?"

As a trainer, Aisha noticed the approach of Gengar before her two Pokémon.

"Who?"

His eyes did not linger on Gengar's body for long. Aisha's attention fell on the back of the Pokémon and looked towards the exit of the alley.

"Heh~ The trainer that old man Oak values ​​is indeed quite capable."

Aisha heard an old voice coming in.

"dew!"

"Jie..."

Maril immediately stood guard in front of Aisha.
