I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Qinglu was secretly praising her own looks in her heart, being very shameless.

"Ah... I see."

Professor Oak carefully savored Chihong's words and understood his profound meaning.

The old man gave Chihong an "understanding" look.

Red gave Professor Oak a look that said "OK, hurry up, urgent."

Then......

"Come on, Mr. Aixia has finally come to visit, and as the host, I must show my hospitality!"

Under Chihong's confused gaze, Professor Oak pulled Aisha and walked towards a room next door.

"Over the years, all the trainers who set out from Pallet Town or its surrounding areas have received their starter Pokémon from me. Don't be shy, just pick the one you like..."

"?"

Dr. Oak returned to his old job.

Hmm, I completely misunderstood what Chihong meant.

"No need for this."

Aisha declined his generous offer.

"Green gave me his Charmander a while ago. Coincidentally, Charmander is also one of the starter Pokémon you can provide, Professor Oak. Think of it as Green choosing a gift for me on your behalf. That's why I chose Pallet Town as the starting point of my journey in the Kanto region."

"Oh~"

Professor Oak gave Qinglv a thumbs up.

The meaning is probably: good grandson, now you can accept the tradition that your grandfather has carried out for so many years. Well done, he recognizes you.

"Humph~"

Qinglu understood what Professor Oak meant, and immediately put her hands on her hips and turned her head away proudly.

However, no one could match his tsundere attitude - Professor Oak and Aisha were having a great conversation, while Akane was immersed in the sadness of not being able to fight.

There really isn't much market for men being arrogant...

"It's disgusting when men are arrogant."

The Rotom mobile phone has been replaced with a voice pack of an anime heroine, and it was thoughtful to add a green knife.

"..."

Qinglu put on a mask of pain.

Why do I feel like I have become the target of persecution?

send.

"Pickup pickup?"

At this time, a lovely voice came into Aisha's ears.

"Eh?"

Aisha's DNA moved, and he involuntarily turned his head towards the direction of the sound, and a petite yellow figure came into his sight.

"Pikachu?"

"Pikachu!"

There were two "Pikachu" calls, one was when Aisha read out the name of the yellow Pokémon, and the other was the call made by the yellow Pokémon when it looked at Aisha.

"Ah... So it's already here at this time."

Looking at the yellow mouse hiding on the beam, staring at her shyly or fearfully, Aisha immediately recognized it as Pikachu, the protagonist of the Pokémon animation and Satoshi's partner.

This is the key factor that laid the foundation for Pokémon to become the world's number one IP.

In the past, the name Pikachu was even more famous than Pokémon itself.

This yellow mouse holds special significance for Pokémon fans.

"If Pikachu hasn't left Oak Lab yet, that means Ash hasn't become a trainer yet." Aisha thought for a moment and came to a conclusion. She thought, "Hmm... I wonder how old Ash is now. When can he start his TV anime journey?"

As a fan of the Pokémon animation for twenty years, Aisha's love for Ash is not as great as her love for Red and Green. However, she naturally has a special feeling for the protagonist of the animation who spent twenty years honing his skills and finally defeated Dantei on the world's stage to become the world's number one trainer.

“This kid has great potential.”

Aisha praised Pikachu's potential.

Of course, he is Pikachu, known as the God of Pikachu.

"Aixia-kun has a really good eye."

Professor Oak also looked at Pikachu and said, "Although this child has some personality issues, he has excellent talent and potential. If he performs well, he could even surpass some particularly rare Pokémon. If he meets a trainer with excellent compatibility, he might even be able to unleash extraordinary strength."

Aisha deeply agreed with what Professor Oak said.

"I believe this child will definitely meet his destined trainer."

"Oh?"

Professor Oak looked at Aisha with a little surprise.

He has some special memories, so he is particularly certain that Pikachu will meet a trainer that suits him.

So, why is Aisha so confident?

Professor Oak was a little curious about the boy's thoughts.

"Every Pokémon can meet its destined trainer. This is the bond between Pokémon and humans, a bond that can never be erased."

Aisha just smiled and said something a little idealistic.

"The same goes for me, Caterpillar, Marilu, Charmander, Iron Dumbbell, and Rotom..."

"indeed."

Professor Oak looked Aisha up and down.

He suddenly felt that this boy might be more than he seemed - Aisha's words were very simple, but his sincere love for Pokémon could not be questioned by anyone.

Professor Oak has seen this kind of love in many young boys and girls.

These boys and girls now have a unified title.

"Since Aisha-kun doesn't need a starter Pokémon, I'll prepare a new gift for you."

Professor Oak walked to the corner of the room, opened a small cabinet, and took out something that looked like a small notebook.

"This is the Pokédex."

Professor Oak handed the illustrated guide to Aisha.

"Ah." As if afraid Aisha would misunderstand him as stingy, Professor Oak hurriedly explained his intention to use the Pokedex as a gift. He said, "Although trainers can now install Pokedex apps on their phones, and you have the universal tool of Rotom Mobile, this Pokedex is the original version. The Pokedex used by Red, Green, and Azure is this version."

"Unlike the Pokedex that's available on the market, it can be used for Pokémon communication and exchange. It might even be of some unexpected use at a critical moment."

Professor Oak explained the information in the illustrated guide.

"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command and accept it."

Aisha suppressed her inner excitement and accepted Professor Oak's gift.

Indeed, the design of this illustrated book is the first generation version.

Although the performance remains to be verified.

However, its commemorative significance is simply full!

Such an illustrated book is more precious than any Pokémon!

This is a special illustrated book personally presented by Professor Oak.

The standard configuration for the protagonist of a special comic.

I own the same illustrated book of the three original protagonists, red, green and blue. Rounding it off, I am half an "illustration book owner"... right?

"correct."

While Aisha was excited, Professor Oak suddenly called him.

"what happened?"

"You said you still have iron dumbbells?"

"Uh......"

Aisha discovered that Professor Oak's expression gradually took on a touch of Brother Jie's charm.

......

Really new town.

"Hey, Ash!"

"Xiao Mao, too slow!"

On a country road, a black-haired boy, chased by a brown-haired boy, showed a silly smile on his face and trotted towards the Oak Research Institute. He ran 500 meters without taking a breath, which made people wonder if this child was a Pokémon in human skin.

"Ha, ha...what's going on?"

After chasing for a long distance, it was the brown-haired boy who was exhausted and panting.

He looked 80% similar to Qinglu, the only difference was in temperament and age. If Qinglu had restrained his edge after going through hundreds of battles, and although his aura was restrained, it was still difficult to conceal his confident and proud temperament, then this brown-haired boy was still young and immature. He was still a flower basking in the sun in a greenhouse and needed some baptism of rain and wind.

"Ash!"

Shouting the black-haired boy's name, the boy named Xiao Mao chased after him.

Xiao Mao obviously didn't inherit the most important thing for a super rookie...

The two of them seemed to be running on the path, one in front and the other behind, and finally climbed up the stairs of the Oak Laboratory. Xiaozhi in front suddenly pushed open the door of the laboratory.

"Professor Oak, Red Brother, Green Brother, we are here!"

"Ha... Ash, you... idiot!"

Xiao Mao also caught up with Xiaozhi and looked inside the research institute.

"what?"

Aisha, who was saying "Doctor, no", was startled and looked at the two of them.

The three of them met eyes.

"Coach Ai!"

It’s bad, the fans are coming to find me.

------

The second day of the Lunar New Year actually has a stronger flavor of the New Year.

I made up for not playing with fireworks on New Year’s Eve at my grandma’s house.

Chapter 96 The journey begins

"Coach Ai, I'm your fan!"

Seeing the idol he had been talking about all day long standing in the Oak Laboratory, the passionate Ash was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He ignored Xiaomao who was calling his name next to him, and rushed towards Aisha, knocking Professor Oak away.

"Uh......"

Looking at Xiaozhi's excited face, Aisha touched her hair a little embarrassedly.

He had imagined the scene of meeting Xiaozhi countless times before.

However, he did not consider the possibility that Xiaozhi might be his fan.

After all, according to Aisha's impression of Ash, this chosen protagonist of the animation is not a trainer who is good at or keen on tactical changes.

Ash, who is known for his unexpectedness, has never used any tactics in battles except for the exploration in the Sinnoh region at that time.

How could such a reckless person calm down and watch his own tactical instruction video on Pokémon battles?

Aisha was a little touched.

Then, Xiaozhi spoke.
