I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"Little girl, I'm sorry to have taken your opponent away."

He patted Midu's shoulder and stood in front of Aisha in her place.

A Poké Ball fell into his palm, and Adek laughed and looked at Aisha.

"Hey, little brother, it's my turn to fight you now!"

Chapter 453 Aisha vs. Adek

"ah......"

Adek looked around in surprise.

The cheers that resounded through the sky lingered in my ears for a long time.

Adek was very surprised to find that in addition to shouting Aisha's name and cheering for him, there were also a large number of people shouting his own name, excitedly cheering for himself, the champion who had been out of the public eye for a long time.

"I didn't expect that even an old man like me would still be so popular..."

Smiling sheepishly, Adek scratched his wild and unruly hair like a shy child.

"That's natural."

Aisha responded to his words with a smile.

"After all, you are the champion of Unova."

Adek was stunned.

He looked up and met Aisha's gaze.

Aisha kept talking.

"People will never forget the deeds of heroes. Your contributions to the United States and the help you gave to the people will always be remembered."

"..."

Aisha's words left Adek silent for a moment.

"ah......"

He covered it with a complicated smile and looked up at the sky.

The cloudy old eyes were filled with complex expressions, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

The sky is still as blue as ever, and the clouds are still as spotless as ever.

like...

He was like that when he was young.

Thoughts swirling.

Memories of the past come flooding back.

It was a mixture of sweetness, bitterness and spiciness that cannot be described in words.

For a moment, the elderly champion felt a lump in his throat and almost burst into tears.

However, Adek is very good at controlling his emotions.

A champion cannot show weakness in front of the people he is supposed to protect!

"call......"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

In just a second, Adek put away the melancholy on his face and returned to his usual smile.

"Hahahahaha!"

He put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily.

"I'm really excited again after such a long time!"

His hearty laughter is very magical.

Soon, everyone in the audience started laughing along with him.

For a moment, the venue was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"..."

Aixia looked at him deeply in silence, then sighed.

Every champion carries a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Like Daigo and Mikoli, they are determined to live and die with the Hoenn region even when disaster strikes.

And the undefeated legend of how Dantei single-handedly carried the faith of the Galar region and the pride of the Galar people.

The higher the position, the greater the responsibility...

Having been the champion of the Unova region for decades, Adek also carries sadness and pain on his shoulders that ordinary people cannot imagine.

He hid all the pain and tears under the mask of "heartlessness" and showed himself with a hearty smile.

Those sorrows, those pains, those invisible scars...

Only he knows.

"..."

Aisha clenched the Poké Ball of the Martial Bear Master.

He didn't know what had happened to the old man.

He only knew that he had to give his all in today's battle.

Not only for myself, but also to pay tribute to this respectable champion!

"Brother Ai!"

Adek shouted the nickname he had for Aisha.

A little funny, but very much in the style of this eccentric champion.

"Mr. Adek."

Aisha looked up with a smile and looked into his eyes.

These clear eyes were filled with fierce fighting spirit.

Full of fighting spirit!

"Come on, let's fight!"

"Ok!"

Eye contact is the signal for a fight.

Aisha and Adek threw the Poké Balls in their hands at the same time.

"Oh!"

Two Poké Balls opened in mid-air, and two strong figures rushed out from the flashing light.

"Roar!"

With an excited roar, Martial Arts Bear Master landed gracefully.

The clean hair flutters in the wind, and the light straps swaying show the heroic style.

As soon as one foot landed on the ground, the mighty giant bear spread out its arms, clenched its claws into a tricky posture, and raised its right leg.

This is the standard fighting stance of the Martial Arts Bear Master's Combo Style.

It is ready to go, its face as calm as water, staring calmly at the enemy in front of it, ready to give the opponent a thundering blow at any time!

"Takumi..."

Unlike the lightness and calmness of the Martial Arts Bear Master, the Pokémon sent out by Adek made a huge noise as soon as they landed.

A heavy body fell from the sky, landed with a loud bang, and shattered the solid ground.

Amidst flying gravel and dust, it danced vigorously on the two thick concrete pillars, easily tearing apart the drifting smoke.

It was a hunched, gray-brown figure.

Pink sinews cling to its torso, and its face resembles that of an elderly human, except for a bulbous red nose.

It grabbed onto two thick, cracked but still intact concrete pillars, and stood with a hunched back like an old man on crutches.

"An old builder."

Aisha read out the Pokémon's name.

Adek, the champion of the Unova region, excels at using Fighting and Normal-type Pokémon.

In addition to the ace Pokémon, Vulcano, his signature Pokémon are the Builder and the Explosive Buffalo.

As for the fighting style, there is no need to say much. It must be a head-on battle like the fighting and general attribute Pokémon are good at.

"Roar......"

Martial Arts Bear Master growled.

Its eyes are very sharp.

It saw how powerful the enemy was this time, so it clenched its fists and concentrated its mind highly.

"..."

The old builder was calm and composed, with no emotion on his old face.

Having followed Adek in battles for decades and having seen too many powerful enemies and large-scale construction workers, he has long been able to remain calm.

but......

The Pokémon in front of him, which he had never seen before, gave the old builder the long-lost pressure.

The two Pokémon looked at each other, and saw strong vigilance and precaution in each other's eyes.

Their duty is to win the battle for their respective trainers!

"Martial Arts Bear Master!"

"Old builder!"

Aisha and Adek called out their names at the same time.

Martial Arts Master Xiong and the old construction craftsman opened their eyes wide at this moment.

"Water jet!"

“Sonic Fist!

As soon as two different but not dissimilar commands were issued, the two Pokémon instantly disappeared from their original positions.

"Roar!"

Amidst the surging water, the figure of Martial Arts Master Xiong rushed out.

It was like a cannonball fired from a gun, riding the surging water and gushing forward.

In just a moment, the distant distance disappeared.

"Takumi..."

Then, Master Wudao Xiong heard the voice of the old builder.

Dragging a white airflow, the old construction worker carrying a cement pillar rushed out at a speed that was not much slower than it.

As time slowed down, the two Pokémon looked at each other.

Then, they bared their sharp fangs to each other!

"Oh!"

"Bang..."

The dull sound set off a sharp sonic boom that resounded through the sky.

The audience only saw two afterimages flash before their eyes, and then the two Pokémon, which were separated by a long distance, collided with each other.

Martial Arts Master Xiong's fist crossed between the concrete pillars and smashed hard into the face of the old builder, distorting his facial features.
