People and Pokémon

The next day, Aisha woke up early.

As a trainer who focuses on the overall development of "wild fight" and "battle", Aisha has strict requirements for himself, and exercising is naturally the most basic self-discipline, so even after the vacation, he has not ceased to exercise in the morning every day.

Exercising was a pleasant activity.

"Hoo~"

After slapping his face and washing up, Aisha also simply settled his breakfast.

Dryly changing into lightweight clothes and filling his stomach, he prepared enough Pokéblock and energy drinks in advance to place inside Caterpie's bowl before going out.

When this child woke up from his nap, he would eat and start the exercise on 'Dragon Ascend' and other aspects, so Aisha, as the master, didn't really need to bother too much.

Caterpie with good talent and self-discipline seems to have inherited the same character as himself, it is simply a good boy that is hard to find in all the lights...

That's why Aisha was actually very satisfied with the fact that her initial Pokémon was a Caterpie.

The relationship between trainers and Pokémon was actually very simple.

Very often, as long as they see eye to eye, they are partners for life.

Pokémon are trainer's... No, Pokémon are the best partners for humans.

They are a very pure and kind creature, although they possess intelligence not inferior to human beings, their minds are very simple and clean, once they have set their sights on a person, even if that person may not treat them too well, these pure and simple Pokémon are willing to give their feelings and loyalty.

If a trainer treated his Pokemon with sincerity, then, in response to this feeling, his Pokemon would surely give a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand times their sincerity as well.

"Goo!"

Standing on one side of the street, a flock of Spearow and Taillow swept through the sky above Aisha's head, flapping their wings and flying in the direction of the sun, gradually hiding behind the white clouds and leaving his field of vision.

On both sides of the street, some Pokémon that did not join in the migration - for example, the relatively mild character of the Pidgey and Pidove would choose to build their nests in these tall trees that did not lose their leaves throughout the seasons - were lined up in the street trees that were full of lush foliage on both sides of the street.

Occasionally, a few Rattata with cunning expressions ran past under the green belt, wondering where they were going to have a feast today.

Behind the alley there are a few Meowths eyeing them.

Oddish with bright green leaves on its head also raised its face from the fertile soil from time to time, showing a happy smile to the pedestrians passing by the flowerbed.

Aisha returned the smile and lightly and skillfully pinched the center of the Oddish's leaf, and the Pokémon also revealed a comfortable expression, a tingling sound brewing inside its mouth.

"Mee~"

Letting go of Oddish's leaf, Aisha trotted all the way to the front gate of the park.

It was his favorite place for morning exercise, along with being a place for some small children and old people to play.

"Wow-!!!"

Below the small bridge, the exquisitely groomed Goldeen and Seaking danced gracefully between the river water, swimming along the slightly narrow artificial channel to the direction of the lake.

The cute Psyduck occasionally misidentified their family members and waved their round bodies in a silly manner to follow the fish, but due to their slow swimming speed, they could not catch up with them, so they were finally caught by the Psyducks who followed the scent and found their way back home.

Unfortunately, this scene would have been a bit more dramatic if the park had been home to Swanna from Unova region...

Aisha stepped on top of the small bridge, the crowds of people passing him by.

Living in a world where humans and Pokémon coexisted in harmony, both young and old brought their own Pokémon with them.

Together, humans and Pokémon created a dreamlike picture.

"Whew~"

One hour later, after finishing the usual morning exercise, Aisha, who was sweating profusely, sat down on the park bench, resting and looking at the people and Pokémon coming and going.

The park was gradually becoming more crowded.

It was graduation season, so it wasn't just him, most of the new generation of new trainers had also received their partners.

Young people with a strong heart were usually eager to carry their Pokémon around, and a park with a public training ground was obviously a good place to go.

Before meeting the system, Aisha also liked to bring Caterpie to the park to share her insights and experiences of breeding Pokémon with everyone.

"Ah..."

Leaning on top of a bench and lifting his head up to look up at the clear sky, Aisha stretched his back.

His stress was suddenly relieved.

Maybe this was the gift that this world belonging to humans and Pokémon had given him as a Pokémon lover.

"Hey, how are your preparations for the 'Rookie Tournament' going?"

"Ah, I'm not planning to fight for any rankings, just work hard and have fun is most important."

"Then just watch me and mine win the championship, we've been working out hard for a while for this 'Rookie Tournament'!"

Next to them, a few people with Pokémon were talking about a certain rookie tournament.

The 'Newcomer Tournament' was a junior tournament for new trainers every year, and only recent graduates could bring their initial Pokémon on file to participate.

The difficulty level is not high, but most of the tournaments involving new trainers are covered by the media, so it's a good stage for trainers who like to express themselves.

It is an annual tournament that has a bit of influence.

Aisha had actually signed up for this 'Rookie Tournament' at first.

Because the start time of the 'Rookie Tournament' was in a month, Aisha had the confidence to cultivate his Caterpie to evolve into the posture of a Butterfree within a month.

At that time, Butterfree, which had learned a series of useful skills, under Aisha's command, it would not be a problem to easily slaughter a newcomer to the Rookie's Tournament.

What kind of maneuvers could a newcomer trainer who had only gotten a Pokémon for a month use?

Butterfree might even be considered a powerful character in the 'Rookie Tournament'.

Aisha was practically winning.

Then, the system appeared and disrupted his plans...

Even if there was still time for him to compete, Aisha probably wouldn't be able to use the tactic of "Hypnotizing the Compound-Eyed Butterfly" in the 'Rookie Tournament' to torment these new trainers, which was regrettable.

"Let's go."

Standing up, Aisha also walked towards the park's gate and set off on his way home.

Halfway home, he stopped by a store specializing in Pokémon merchandise to get his hands on some Bug, Flying, and Dragon Attribute foods, the latter of which were so expensive that Aisha couldn't help but see a black eye.

Trainers were really a money-consuming profession.

However, the one thing that was worth rejoicing about was the Pokéblock, Aisha was able to use the tree fruits to make them with his own abilities, saving a lot of costs - Aisha himself was a student of the Breeding Department discipline, and had already successfully obtained the Junior Breeder's Certificate in high school, so the knowledge and operation of Pokéblocks' diets wasn't a problem for him. Knowledge and operation of Pokémon diet was not a problem for him.

Furthermore, this unlucky system of his own, in addition to giving the green caterpillar a series of enhancements and releasing disturbing quests, was also helpful to Aisha himself.

[Foreign Language Lv.3: You can skillfully master and use multiple languages, daily communication is not a problem, and the exams can be passed with your eyes closed].

[Pokéblock Production Lv.3: You can skillfully utilize the nutritious tree fruits to produce high-quality Pokéblocks, and your in-depth understanding of Pokéblocks and tree fruits allows you to avoid wastage and misuse, and the quality of the Pokéblocks is sufficient to support Pokémon's energy replenishment.]

These two skills were the rewards Aisha received after completing the tasks of "Become an anchor with 10,000 fans" and "Receive the initial Pokémon" respectively.

Since they were completed a long time ago, they were rewards that the system issued directly upon awakening.

The former supported Aisha's ability to move around from region to region without fear of language barriers.

The latter provided Aisha with the low cost and high resources to cultivate Caterpie.

Aisha's resentment towards the system has slightly subsided because of these skills... At least the essence of this system was indeed helping himself to become stronger, not releasing tasks purely for the sake of giving him a hard time.

"Eh, have you guys heard about it, there's a big disaster over in Hoenn region."

"Hey, I heard about it, it's all because of that what team, who had nothing better to do than to engage in some kind of expansion... I don't know what they're trying to do, but now they've attracted this kind of calamity."

"It's said that in the end it was a big green dragon that descended from the sky to disperse the two big monsters, just like a god, if there's always it, there shouldn't be any problem behind."

Walking to the neighborhood of his home, the voices of a few old people in the neighborhood talking about the recent news also reached Aisha's ears.

As Dayan people, the somewhat superstitious old people obviously had an unusual outlook on a dragon type Pokémon like Rayquaza, as if they had a special kind of worship.

At once, Aisha's smile became a bit awkward.

These old people might not know what happened to Rayquaza that dispersed Groudon and Kyogre that day... But as the person involved, he could know too much.

God?

It was clearly himself and Caterpie who were lying down.

At this time, several old men also discovered Aisha and greeted him eagerly.

"Uh... hello, hello."

After hanging a forced smile and responding to the old men's greetings, Aisha also hurriedly ran back home.

While looking at Aisha's back, the several old men perfectly utilized their abilities as MI6, talking about things that even he himself didn't know yet.

"Eh, I remember that in the past two days a little girl came over to inquire about this child, is there this matter?"

"There is, that little girl looked a few years older than Xiao Ai, quite handsome, hard to be a girlfriend?"

"The child has grown up... But the little girl you guys are talking about, I always feel a bit familiar, as if I've seen a few times on TV."
