I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

With the help of Ai's guidance, they grow stronger day and night.

Drop after drop of sweat watered the flowers of hard work, and finally, they bore extremely sweet fruits...

Together they defeated Green.

This is the best proof.

With the end of the Evergreen Gym Challenge, this trip to Kanto has also come to its final stop.

So, the last stop is the Quartz Conference.

The end of this journey requires a perfect ending.

That is the winner of the Quartz Conference!

"Ha..." With a light laugh, Aisha's eyes revealed absolute and unquestionable confidence.

What kind of ending would be worthy of such a journey full of sweat, laughter and touching moments?

Nothing but a beautiful victory.

It’s just the championship of the Quartz Conference. For me and my partners, it’s just within reach!

"Roar......"

The familiar sound of a dragon's roar rang in my ears.

Coach Ai closed the badge box and put it back into his pocket.

"Thank you for your hard work, Charizard."

Aisha turned to look at Charizard and praised its efforts.

Now, I really need to raise my head and look up to it.

The orange dragon, more than three meters long, is extremely majestic and handsome.

Coach Ai was in a trance.

Looking at the strong and huge Charizard walking towards him step by step, his eyes blurred and he seemed to see the Charmander from the past running towards him.

"Roar!"

The powerful and domineering dragon roar reached his ears, overlapping with the childish cry.

Then, Aisha felt her feet leave the ground.

Charizard picked up Coach Ai just like Coach Ai once held him when he was still Charmander.

The positions of one person and one Pokémon were reversed.

Now, for Coach Ai, Charizard is undoubtedly a behemoth.

He himself looked very much like the Charmander that once faced him, and had become the petite and delicate one.

"Roar......"

Charizard growled and hugged Coach Ai tightly.

It lowered its neck and pressed its majestic dragon head against Aisha's face.

In a place where only Coach Ai could see, the handsome Charizard showed a simple and slightly silly smile that only he could see.

Faintly, Aisha saw a glimmer of crystal between the Charizard's eye sockets.

"Silly boy."

Coach Ai showed a helpless smile and complained, but he immediately wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes.

"You shouldn't cry at a time like this, you should laugh... We won!"

"Roar!"

Charizard immediately let out an excited roar.

It lowered its body and with a wave of its hand, moved Coach Ai from its chest to its back.

"Eh?"

"Roar!"

Before Coach Ai could react, Charizard immediately flapped its broad wings vigorously.

It flew up, carrying Ai with it.

Once, when it was still Charmander, it made a promise in its heart to Coach Ai, who was riding another Charizard.

It promised that one day after it evolved into a Charizard, it would be able to fly freely in the sky with Guide Ai.

Today, it finally fulfilled this unspoken promise.

"Roar!"

With a joyful roar, the Charizard's roar contained an emotion that no one could understand, but could be felt by those who heard it.

"This kid..."

On the ground, Qinglv shook his head, complaining, "It really is like now that they have Coach Ai, they've forgotten me. Without me, how could they possibly follow Coach Ai?"

"Pfft~"

Bilan burst out laughing.

She looked at Qinglv with a hint of resentment and said, "You really know how to flatter yourself. It's obvious that Charizard is acting like this because Coach Ai treats him well... I have to say, Coach Ai is the most passionate trainer I've ever met about Pokémon. He's as passionate about Pokémon as anyone else."

At the end of the words, Bilan's voice was full of emotion.

Before this, Coach Ai stayed in Professor Oak's backyard for a month, and she also spent a month with the boy.

During that month, Azure saw with her own eyes how Aisha treated her Pokémon and how she poured her whole heart into them.

At that time, it seemed as if he only had his friends in his eyes. Even the mercenary Azure couldn't help but feel moved by the relationship between Pokémon.

"I really understand..."

Bilan held her waist and said, "I understand why you and Chihong care so much about him."

"Because he deserves it."

"Yes, he deserves it." Qinglu gave a nostalgic smile.

"From the first moment I saw Ai-kun, I knew he was a true Pokémon trainer."

"His love for Pokémon is truly second to none..." Qinglv looked up at Ai, who was flying low in the sky on his Charizard and occasionally exclaiming in surprise. "I even saw a bit of that old guy in him. However, Ai's personality is much better than that cold-faced guy who always had a sullen face and couldn't even speak normally!"

At the end, Qinglv Cue mentioned his best friend and competitor.

Bilan also smiled without saying anything.

Then she sighed and said, "You have hurt me terribly."

"what?"

Qinglu looked confused.

He remembered that he had not reported Azure's stall to anyone in the alliance during this period.

Could it be that his intention to make her work for nothing was discovered?

"Hey."

Bilan shook his head and said, "Isn't it because you are not as skilled as others?"

"Kona and I made a bet on who would win this gym challenge... I bet on you, and Kona bet on Coach Ai. We agreed that the loser would give the winner a treasure. What do you think the final result was?"

"You got your gold coins exploded by Kona?"

Qinglu tilted his head, laughed out loud, and said: "Good news!"

"what?"

"Anyway, Kona won against you thanks to Coach Ai's favor. In the end, whatever she won from you will definitely be passed on to Coach Ai. I'll just think of it as you giving Coach Ai a gift on my behalf." Qinglv's smile became much more arrogant. He patted Bilan's shoulder and said, "Thank you very much for giving me the gift. It saved me the trouble of preparing it."

"You bastard!"

Bilan grabbed Qinglv's neck directly.

"Hey, stop, don't... Lan, Azure, killing people!"

Qinglu wailed for a long time before Bilan let him go.

Qinglv was half bent over and coughing continuously.

While coughing, he kept complaining, "You... cough, cough, cough, bastard, do you really want to kill me?"

Azure ignored his complaints.

After a moment of pain, she compromised with a look of helplessness on her face, saying, "Forget it. If it's really as you said, and the bet I give to Kona ends up with something from Coach Ai, then it's not impossible for me to spend a little money and get something good in return."

"Oh?"

Now Qinglu became interested.

He came closer to Bilan, looking curious, and asked, "What are you going to give me?"

"Don't worry about it."

Azure waved her hand and walked straight towards the exit of the Viridian Gym.

She left, leaving behind a message: "Anyway, I will never let Coach Ai down."

"Oh......"

Qinglu stood there, lost in thought.

He knew that Bilan had a lot of good things hidden in his hands.

Coincidentally, Charizard flew down with Aisha.

Qinglu shook his head helplessly and went forward.

However, a graceful figure was one step ahead of him, and came towards Aixia with a gust of icy air.

"As expected of Xiao Ai."

Kona skillfully took Aisha's hand and said, "We killed those snotty guys who always put on that 'I'm the best in the world' face. That was awesome!"

"..."

"Sister Kona, stop joking."

Aisha smiled and shook her head.

"Midori is really strong and puts a lot of pressure on me."

Coach Ai spoke his heart out, saying, "During the match, I constantly felt like if I made just one wrong move, I'd fall into the abyss."

"Finally, that Nidoking was incredibly powerful. If Charizard hadn't evolved, the outcome of this battle would have been questionable."

indeed.

The first half of this gym challenge was truly mind-numbingly exciting.

Everything happened in an instant. If either Aisha or Qinglu could not keep up with the situation, the other party would be able to accumulate a huge advantage in one breath.

This is how Aisha's Umbreon is enhanced.

The same goes for the Green Beedrill's exchange strategy...

The final Nidoking is even more powerful.

The numerical advantage that Coach Ai had accumulated in the previous stages seemed much weaker in front of that Nidoking.

'The Secret of the Earth' is indeed worthy of being called 'The Secret of the Earth'.

If the Charmeleon didn't evolve, the outcome would be hard to predict...

"Hey, stop talking about that."

Qinglu waved his hand.

He is proud, but not someone who can't afford to lose.

He was convinced of his defeat to Aisha.

"Now I have truly witnessed Ai Jun's strength. You are worthy of it."

"What are you going to do next?" Qinglu was a little curious.
