I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Looking at Haunter, the red eyes changed.

"Coach Ai, you, Haunter, have you learned Granny Kikuko's 'Spiritual Poison' technique?"

"Correct."

Aisha did not hide anything and acknowledged Chihong's question.

I have to say, Chihong's observation skills are really sharp.

Just by looking at Haunter's appearance, one can tell that Haunter has mastered the "Spiritual Poison".

"It's amazing that I was able to learn Grandma Kikuko's secret technique when I was a Haunter."

Chihong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, saying, "When it truly evolves into Gengar, it will probably be the time when it fully masters the method of 'Spiritual Poison'."

"Correct."

Aisha smiled.

Chihong's calculation was the same as his.

"I'm not very good at cultivation. Cultivation is Ai's specialty in guiding you and Qinglu."

Chihong shook his head and said, "When Haunter needs to evolve, I can help you contact Zhenghui. You also know Yin. With their help, the evolution of Haunter into Gengar will definitely go smoothly."

"Thank you so much..."

Aisha looked grateful.

Zhenghui is the founder of the communication system.

Although you can evolve Haunter by just finding a communicator.

However, Coach Ai is willing to give his Pokémon the best conditions.

"Jie?"

After finishing two buckets of ice cream, Haunter heard Aisha and Red discussing him, and tilted his head to look at them with a puzzled look.

The two were amused by it again.

"Speaking of which, speaking of Gigantamax Gengar, it seems the ace card of the ghost-type gym leader in the Galar region is a Gigantamax Gengar."

Red suddenly brought up the Galar region.

"You mean Onio?"

A short, masked figure emerged in Coach Ai's mind.

"Coach Ai knows?"

"Well...after all, Galar promotes gym leaders as celebrities, so it's hard not to see it."

"really."

Chihong nodded and said, "It's all thanks to President Luo Zi."

President Ross from the Galar region is a talented person.

He has a very keen business sense, for example, he promoted the idol trainer system and let the champion Dandy pull advertisements.

It is said that President Ross is also a powerful trainer. After becoming the runner-up of the Galar League, he became famous.

In addition, almost all of Galar's businesses belong to Ross, which makes his status in the Galar region equivalent to that of President Damaranch in the Kanto region.

After that, President Ross launched his own activities in a bold and decisive manner. He introduced Dynamax, a battle system that was very suitable for performance and attracting audiences, and was highly entertaining, into the Gym Challenge and League Tournament. This caused a huge sensation and success, making the Galar League world-famous.

"Hey, Gigantamax..."

Chihong shook his head.

He actually doesn't like the Dynamax fighting style.

The Dynamaxing in the Galar region has strict requirements for the battle location... At the same time, many Galar trainers, including gym leaders, have a strong dependence on Dynamaxing. This led to the fact that in the last King's Tournament, the performance of the Galar gym leaders was not very ideal after they left their familiar environment.

Dan Di is an exception.

His strength is not enhanced by Gigantamaxing.

The same goes for Nie Zi, this gym leader doesn't like to use Gigantamax.

But they are the only two exceptions.

Oh, and Chibana.

After all, the super giant aluminum steel dragon is really useless.

"I'm actually quite interested in Dynamaxing."

Coach Ai crossed his arms over his chest.

The battles in the eighth generation were the best battle environment he had ever experienced.

The excellence of Gigantamaxing is obvious to many players who have played against it.

"If I have the chance, I'd like to go to Galar and experience their Dynamax battle."

"There's a good opportunity."

"what?"

"After this Quartz Tournament, a new round of Gym Challenges will begin in the Galar region... Coach Ai, with your connections, getting a letter of recommendation from a high-ranking trainer shouldn't be a problem. If you want to experience Dynamax battles, you can try participating."

"Forget it."

Aisha shook her head.

He didn't have much time left, not enough to travel the Galar region for another year.

However, the Galar region’s championship knockout round is quite interesting.

The classic battle of the Four Heavenly Kings has been cancelled. The challenger who has collected eight badges will participate in the elimination tournament together with all ten gym leaders and the champion in the Galar region. The winner will become the champion.

This is the unique combat mechanism of the Galar region.

It is also a reflection of the immense strength of Galar's champion, Dandi.

Despite such high-intensity challenges, he has been able to sit firmly on the championship throne and defend his title for so many years.

There is no need to say much about its strength.

"All right."

After finishing the ice cream, Chihong clapped his hands and took out a notebook.

"Coach Ai, I know you've mastered Charizard's Mega Evolution... This notebook of mine also records my experience with Charizard, including some insights into Mega Charizard's cultivation and battles. It's a bit better than the Green one, so feel free to use it as you see fit. Consider it my return gift for the ice cream you treated me to."

"what!"

Aixia was stunned, and Chihong stuffed the notebook into his hand.

Then, Chihong pulled up her mask and waved towards Ai Xia.

"I'm leaving first. I have something to do with Du!"

"Okay, bye..."

Seeing the red figure gradually disappear in the surging crowd, Coach Ai finally came to his senses.

He looked down at the thick notebook in his hand with several sticky notes in it, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Does this count as a burst of red gold coins?"

Why do these powerful trainers like giving notes so much?

"Um......"

Scratching his head, Coach Ai looked puzzled.

Anyway, this is good stuff!

Crimson's Charizard is also an extremely powerful existence. Coach Ai has always felt that although Crimson's ace is Pikachu, the strength of his Kanto Pokémon is not inferior to the ace Pokémon of other champion-level trainers. This is the confidence that being the strongest in the world gives him.

"Hmm~"

As his fingers stroked the cover of the notebook, Coach Ai showed an excited expression.

The mission assigned to his Charizard by the system was to defeat the Charizards of Qinglv and Dandi.

Now, Coach Ai's Charizard is using the same training method that Red shared with him...

The show is really great!

......

In the two battles in the afternoon, the winners were the Demon Monk from the Bell Tower in the Johto region and the apprentice from a less popular gym in the Kanto region who was good at Dark-attribute Pokémon.

So far, the top four of the Quartz Conference have emerged!

The official did not keep the secret. After the result of the fourth match came out, the semi-final schedule was displayed in real time on the big screen in the main venue.

The first game in the morning, Aisha VS Manchong!

......

The Pokémon Center at night.

"What? Your opponent in the semi-finals is Coach Ai?"

Shafiya appeared on the large screen of the Pokémon Center's video call. She looked at Manchong in front of the phone with a look of surprise and said, "It's Coach Ai?"

"Ah...yes."

Manchong smiled and confirmed what Shafiya said.

Beside Shafiya, Ruby pushed up her glasses with a faint smile.

He looked at Manchong, who had become much stronger, and said, "Congratulations, Manchong, for making it to the semifinals."

"Coach Ai is a very strong opponent. I know you feel a little pressure facing him, but Coach Ai is also a very good person. You don't need to be afraid."

"Do not."

Manchong smiled and shook his head.

He was very grateful to Ruby for her concern and advice.

In fact, ever since he and Ruby met, it was Ruby, who was better and more mature in every aspect, who took care of him.

However, this time, Manchong was not nervous or afraid.

"I'm not afraid. I know Coach Ai is a very good person."

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

How could such a person be scary?

He is so gentle, like the bright moon in the sky...

Being able to fight him, even if the result was a loss, Man Chong was already very satisfied.

"Well... Actually, Shafiya and I have been following your matches and have also been researching Coach Ai's affairs."

After a moment's silence, Ruby spoke.

Shafiya also nodded in agreement.

As Manchong's companions, the two of them were very clear about Manchong's strength - he was only slightly weaker than them.

They are not bragging. According to Man Chong's strength, under normal circumstances, winning the championship of the Quartz Conference is a foregone conclusion.

It's a pity that this year's Quartz Conference produced an Aisha...

The fish-frying monster met a stronger fish-frying monster. This has to be said to be fate.

"At this point, there are only three Pokémon that Coach Ai hasn't used yet." Ruby analyzed the precautions for tomorrow's battle for Man Chong and said, "They are the Shining Metal Monster that Champion Daigo gave him, the Charizard that defeated Shafia and me, and Caterpie, which is said to be his starter Pokémon."

"Ok!"

Shafiya was there to support the actor.

"Coach Ai likes to send out weaker Pokémon first. Tomorrow, his first Pokémon will probably be Shining Metal, followed by Charizard. One of these two Pokémon has a physical attack, and the other has a special attack. Remember this."

"Correct!"

Shafiya said, "I thought so too."

"it is good."
