I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"But, so strong."

Although he didn't know what the Bear Apprentice was, Yin could tell at a glance how powerful the Bear Apprentice was.

And...it seems to be suppressing itself from evolving this issue.

"Could it be the new Pokémon that Coach Ai captured?" Touching his chin, Yin naturally came up with this guess.

After all, Apprentice Bear seemed to be very close to Aisha.

Preventing Pokémon from evolving prematurely is also Aisha's usual training method.

"Forget it, Coach Ai knows more about raising Pokémon than I do, so I'd better keep quiet."

Yin shook his head and said goodbye to Aisha.

"Since Gengar has already evolved, Coach Ai, I'll shave it first. I'm afraid that guy Jin will come over and make a scene again later."

"Okay, thank you very much this time."

Aixia said goodbye to Yin with a smile, and thanked Zhenghui who was watching the fun, saying: "And you, Dr. Zhenghui, thank you for teaching me."

"Hi~"

Zheng Hui, who was very emotionally intelligent, waved his hand and said, "Nothing, we're just buddies. Qinglu and I have a good relationship. No need to thank me!"

Then, the three of them hung up the video.

Turning around, Aisha also smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Apprentice Bear didn't seem to like the smell and ran away immediately, covering his nose.

Looking at its leaving back, Coach Ai smiled, then took Gengar back to the hall of the martial arts gym.

At this time, Mi Ye had already prepared dinner, and the disciples brought the food and a large pot of mushroom soup to the table.

"Oh~Xia Xia!"

Seeing Aisha coming with Shiny Gengar, Master Ma quickly called them over.

After seeing Shiny Gengar, everyone in the gym showed envy and amazement.

After all, this is a shiny Pokémon, a rare species that is only found in a million.

Moreover, this Shiny Gengar looks very powerful...

"Gengar?"

Caidou at the dinner table also noticed Coach Ai's newly evolved Shiny Gengar.

Caidou looked carefully at the gray and black Gengar with a thoughtful expression.

"The Gengar that Ai coaches is much stronger than the one that Onio plays."

Thinking of this, a fighting spirit ignited in Caidou's heart.

She wants to fight against Coach Ai...

Even though she knew that the chances of winning were slim, Caidou still wanted to see how powerful Coach Ai's Shiny Gengar was!

"Come, sit down and eat. Your Gengar can also have a bowl of Gigantamax soup."

Master Ma smiled and asked Aixia to sit down.

"Also...old man, I remember Xia Xia also has a fire-breathing dragon?"

"Correct."

"That's fine. Your mistress Honeyleaf has left a bowl of Gigantamax soup in the kitchen for you. You can take it back to your Charizard after dinner."

"ah."

Hearing this, Aixia looked at Mi Ye in surprise.

"Then, thank you, Madam Miye."

"It's just a small matter~"

Mi Ye, heavily made-up, smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Come to think of it, it's thanks to Xiao Xia Xia that we can all drink the Gigantic Soup today."

"You guys, please hurry up and thank Xiao Xia Xia!"

As she spoke, Mi Ye looked at the other disciples at the dinner table with a serious expression.

The disciples hurriedly thanked Aixia.

Of course, they didn't dare to follow Master Ma and Mi Ye's example and call Ai "Xiao Xia Xia".

Two days passed, and the disciples in the martial arts school roughly understood the power of this new nominal disciple through word of mouth and online searches.

Therefore, the look in everyone's eyes when they looked at Aisha was filled with respect for the strong.

Ok.

There is also some fear of the master of dirty tricks...

Then, today’s dinner at Master Ma’s Martial Arts School began.

Everyone still eats without talking, and their table manners are very good.

In the middle of the meal, when Shiny Gengar was drinking the Gigantamax soup, he rolled his tongue and drank the whole bowl of soup.

After drinking it, it still looked confused, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit and not being able to taste it.

Coach Ai even shared his bowl of Gigantamax soup with it.

"Kou Jie~"

Shiny Gengar sipped the newly acquired half bowl of soup with a happy smile on his face.

It’s not that I can’t taste the flavor, but I feel that the rice in Ai’s bowl is more fragrant.

And... after drinking these two mouthfuls of soup, I always feel full of strength all over my body!

"Heh~"

Coach Ai smiled silently.

After all, if the Gigantamax Shroom itself is not used to make soup but eaten directly, it has the magical effect of increasing all six ability values ​​of Pokémon by one level.

Like Popeye's spinach, it's very powerful.

After the meal, Master Ma did not let Coach Ai go, but called him and Caidou.

"Xia Xia, old man, I know you can't wait any longer."

Stroking his beard, Master Ma looked at Aixia with a smile and said, "So, tonight, we will complete your third trial!"

Master Ma is obviously deeply affected by the major game manufacturers' practice of dragging out time in the plot.

Therefore, he always carried out Aisha's triple test in a swift and decisive manner, striving for simplicity and efficiency.

"so."

Aisha also looked forward to it.

"What is the third test?"

"Hoho~ Now that we've come to our Galar region, as a trainer, we have to experience the Dynamax battle!"

Master Ma looked at Caidou.

"So, Xiao Xia Xia, your third test is to defeat Xiao Cai Cai in a Dynamax battle!"

"Eh?"

Before Aixia could say anything, Caidou screamed.

"I?"

Caidou pointed at herself with a look of disbelief and said, "Letting me be Coach Ai's opponent? Ah, although I'm really looking forward to fighting Coach Ai, that's right, but, but...but, isn't it too hasty to let a trainer of my strength be Coach Ai's opponent in such an important third-level trial? I don't think I'm quite qualified. Master Ma, why don't you find another disciple?"

Caidou spoke a long paragraph in one breath, and her fast speaking speed showed her nervousness.

And low self-esteem...

Caidou's problem is actually very simple, and she has demonstrated it many times before coming to Kai Island.

That is, there is no confidence in one's own abilities.

He has been defeated by the champion Dandi many times, and he is also the gym leader of the Suchuan Arena together with Onio.

This makes it easy for her to doubt her own abilities.

Unfortunately, this girl is a dull person who only thinks about herself when she encounters a problem. As a result, she wastes time on herself all day long, and the problem becomes more and more serious.

Master Ma made her the opponent for Aisha's third level trial. His intention was not only to let Aisha experience the Gigantamax battle, but also to help her resolve her inner struggles.

"No, Caidou."

Aisha laughed.

"Didn't you just say that you wanted to fight me and Gengar?"

"Yes, but..."

"That's enough."

"Didn't you say that?" Aisha asked Caidou, "Even if you know you can't win, you should still fight. What's important isn't the outcome, but the process. If you don't dare challenge a powerful trainer knowing you'll lose, then you're truly weak, not a true martial artist!"

"..."

Caidou fell silent.

Aisha took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy.

"Besides, you're the famous Fighting-type gym leader Caidou of the Tracing Arena!"

"Eh?"

"When it comes to Dynamax battles, there aren't many trainers in Galar who know more than you!" Aisha shook Caidou's hand, her tone sincere and her eyes full of trust. She said, "Master Ma must have a reason for arranging you as my opponent. I'm also happy to have you as my opponent in my first Dynamax battle."

"Eh?"

Caidou's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her whole body trembled.

"Do you want to?"

"I......"

Caidou's face was flushed and her eyes were blurred, and white steam seemed to be coming out of her head.

Shyness and complex emotions immediately overcame the confusion in the girl's heart, and Caidou responded to Aisha's words stutteringly but resoundingly.

"I, do, I do!"

"it is good!"

Aixia turned around and looked at Master Ma.

See, solved.

Master Ma: “…”

Master Ma put on a mask of pain.

He also said these words of advice to Caidou.

But the effect is far less good than Aisha's.

"You are really capable..."

Master Ma sighed like this.

"All right."

He turned and walked towards the backyard of the martial arts hall.

"Little old man, there is also a Dynamax energy point in the backyard of my martial arts gym. You can have a Dynamax battle there."

"Oh!"

"Uh, well..."

Aisha and Caidou followed.

After arriving at the fighting ground in the backyard, the two found that the disciples of the martial arts school, including Mi Ye, had gathered around the venue.

How can we have a Gigantamax battle without an audience singing the background music?
