It was almost time to rest.
However, Instructor Ai was instead in trouble at this time.
Tonight, the Pokémon that were properly on watch were Cynthia's Lucario and Pokémon.
The two Aura Pokémon were very good at similar jobs.
All enemies hidden in the shadows were invisible to their senses.
With these two Aura Pokémon on watch, the trainer's safety could be guaranteed.
The problem was that what Instructor Ai was agonizing over wasn't the night watch...
The problem he was struggling with was that there was only one tent.
That's right, Cynthia didn't bring along a tent for camping this time.
It was because Cynthia had traveled to the Kanto region this time to replace Steven, who was busy with his work, and to carry out an exploration of Cameran Palace and the Tree of Beginning.
Naturally, there was no need to sleep out in the wild for this work.
That's why Cynthia didn't have any intention of sleeping in the open at the beginning...
Following Instructor Ai on the trip was a whim... uh, on a whim!
So that was the problem that led to Aisha and Cynthia only having one tent right now.
"...Hiss."
Rubbing his delicate chin with his slender fingers, Aisha revealed a serious expression, and was seriously thinking about what should be done.
The solution to the problem was actually very simple all the same.
The problem with a tent simply lay in the fact that men and women were not authorized.
It didn't matter, Instructor Ai didn't mind the sky with a blanket and the ground as a bed to rest.
Super Dayan Man understand?
As long as the physical quality was strong to a certain extent, there was no fear of doing anything!
"Good."
Having figured out the solution to the problem, Instructor Ai was also in a happy mood.
"Cynthia, go rest inside the tent."
"Eh?"
Cynthia, who had also realized the problem of rest, instantly panicked after hearing Aisha's words.
"I'm going to rest inside the tent?"
Of course, Cynthia knew that this tent was Instructor Ai's tent.
Now, Aisha told her to head inside the tent to rest, wouldn't that be an invitation to spend the night together?
Wow...
There's such a good thing?
Awesome!
"Yes, yes!"
Unconsciously blushing, Cynthia's voice was also tinted with a touch of indescribable, indescribable sentiment, and her body was also a bit squirming in her seat.
"Hmm?"
Instructor Ai was confused.
He looked towards his own tent, and instantly also revealed an expression of dawning realization - when purchasing the travel equipment, because of the problem of being a bit stretched in terms of funds, on the one hand, and also because Aisha thought that he was afraid that he would be traveling by himself from start to finish, so the tent that said Instructor Ai had purchased was actually just a one-person lodging It was a bit cramped, and although it could accommodate two people, it was inevitably a bit crowded.
Instructor Ai thought that Cynthia, who was used to living in high-class tents, would not be used to his own tent.
"Don't worry."
Aisha revealed a smile, and in his heart, although he was a bit embarrassed, he nevertheless tried to send out an explanation towards Cynthia, saying, "The tent isn't big, however, it's warm enough, and it's definitely enough to sleep in."
"And it's also clean, there's no need to worry about anything."
"Oh..."
These words fell into Cynthia's ears but changed.
She was also an expert in wilderness survival, and naturally saw that Instructor Ai's tent was only a one-person resting style, and it was inevitable that the two of them would rest together in this tent, making it a bit crowded.
Under the crowded conditions, it was inevitable that the two of them would have some physical contact...
Nonetheless, Aisha still invited her to rest together.
"Oooh..."
Cynthia inclined her body, letting out a small cry of sadness behind Instructor Ai's back.
She was too shy.
I didn't expect Instructor Ai, who usually had a wooden look and was refined and seemed to not care about love affairs at all, to be so proactive when it came right down to it instead.
This is the sense of contrast?
Too strong!
I like the contrast that's just right...
"Uh-huh."
Cynthia tried to stabilize her mind.
At the same time, it also dispelled what was rambling in its mind.
"..."
Aisha did not make a sound.
He simply waited for Cynthia's response.
"...Good!"
Cynthia was also silent for a moment, and after sensing Aisha's "sincere" sight behind her, the Sinnoh Champion, who had already been secretly in love for some time, finally made up her mind and turned around in a flash, her slender palm holding Instructor Instructor's hand, responding to his invitation.
"Uh-huh."
Aisha was also relieved.
At least, Cynthia didn't dislike himself.
"Chansey has brand new sleeping bags sitting over there." Aisha glanced at the Chansey beside him, who was still asking for advice on the usage of Toxic over at Roserade's side, and revealed a helpless smile as he said, "Cynthia, you can also make do a little bit, anyway, if we speed up our journey tomorrow, we should almost make it to the Lavender Town by dusk."
"Well... ah?"
Cynthia, who was a bit distracted because of Instructor Ai's ambiguous words, suddenly realized the problem.
A sleeping bag?
How do you stick it with a sleeping bag over it?
"Huh?"
Cynthia finally realized that her conversation with Aisha might not be on the same page.
Instructor Ai also happened to stand up at that moment.
"One tent is too cramped, I'll deal with it outside a little tonight."
"Uh!"
Hearing Aisha's true thoughts, Cynthia was immediately struck by a violent attack.
She had even prepared herself for this, and it actually turned out that she had gotten Aisha's meaning wrong.
"It must be cold outside, Instructor Ai..."
"No problem, my body strength, you know it!"
Cynthia tried to stay for a while, while Aisha gave a reason that she simply couldn't refute - when he had landed in a dashing manner after jumping ten meters on top of a speeding SUV, this was a physical strength that the Sinnoh Champion would like to call the strongest of mankind.
"Cynthia, lend me your Togekiss."
Instructor Ai walked to the side of Cynthia's Pokekiss and extended his hand, stroking this lovely airplane.
It felt good in his hand and its body temperature was warm enough.
Perfect for a cuddle pillow.
"Let me sleep a little against this child tonight."
"Oooh~"
Cynthia's Togekiss was also clearly very fond of Aisha, and the airplane rubbed against Instructor Ai's palm, its body almost sticking within the beautiful boy's embrace.
"..."
Cynthia was very speechless.
You're willing to sleep with my Pokémon, but just not with me?
"Tsk..."
The Sinnoh Champion's expression was a bit unimpressed.
Since Instructor Ai didn't have that kind of idea from the beginning to the end, wouldn't it be very strange for her to be thinking about all those strange things, and even to dwell on them for half a day, and in the end to agree to his "invitation" with special excitement?
Bad, I've become an obsessive girl.
"..."
A cold wind from the night woke up Cynthia's somewhat chaotic brain.
The Sinnoh Champion sat on top of that stump from before with a wrecked face, gazing at the babbling stream in silence for a few seconds.
"Cynthia, what's wrong?"
Aisha, who had a dumbfounded look on her face wondering what Cynthia was having a hard time with, also made an inquiry.
"Woo?"
Cynthia's Togekiss also stopped snuggling against Instructor Ai, and with a puzzled face looked at the somewhat autistic Cynthia.
"It's nothing."
Cynthia sighed, and a determined light blossomed within her beautiful eyes.
"Instructor Ai."
"Uh, in!"
Watching Cynthia walk towards him, Aisha was a bit at a loss for words.
"Come on, it's time for us to rest!"
Carrying an irrefutable force in her slender palm, she grabbed Aisha's wrist in one go, and Cynthia revealed an elegant smile.
After that, pulling him directly towards the direction of the tent.
"..."
It was only now that Instructor Ai realized the seriousness of the matter.
However, his reasoning told him that it was better not to refute Cynthia's thoughts at this time...
It wasn't as if the other Sinnoh Champion was craving for his own body.
It's fine... right?
"Woo?"
Togekiss, who was still enjoying Aisha's embrace, was also gazing at Cynthia, who was pulling this beautiful boy, with a puzzled expression.
What's the situation?
Didn't we agree that Instructor Ai would sleep with me tonight?
Big liar!
"Woo!"
The little airplane puffed up its cheeks and sulked cutely.
"Lu."
At this time, Lucario also noticed his companion's reaction.
The dog knocked the airplane's head.
"Woo!"
Togekiss burst into tears.
What for?
"Lu..."
Lucario also showed a helpless expression with a show of hands.
Stupid, don't get in the way of your master's big event.
"Woo?"
"Lu!"
The two Aura Pokémon looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus, after which they each stood guard in one direction and took up the duty of night watch.
The other Pokémon then slept within the confines of the campground.
Hmm... Garchomp, who had witnessed Larvitar's Dragon Dance, might not be able to sleep tonight.
"Hmm."
Aisha followed Cynthia inside the tent, and the situation was unsurprisingly a bit cramped.
Although it was said that the two of them could lie down normally, but even if they were sitting, they were inevitably pressed together.
If one were to lie down and sleep, the two slender bodies would probably need to be pressed together for the entire night - Aisha even smelled Cynthia's odor.
Up top!
"There."
Cynthia turned her back to Aisha, forcibly resisting the urge to run away, covering her cheeks, which were already blushing to the point of redness, while one hand was still firmly grasping the teenager's wrist, and said, "It's almost time to rest, Aisha."
"Hmm..."
The two lay down, shoulders pressed against each other's.
The distance wasn't really a problem, as much as it prevented them from resting - provided Aisha and Cynthia were a real couple.
"Good night, Instructor Ai."
"Good night, Cynthia."
Each harboring mixed feelings, Cynthia held Aisha's wrist, and they closed their eyes together.
...
"...."
First Generation Mewtwo had mixed emotions.
It sat cross-legged on top of a small hill, its eyes gazing at the small stream two kilometers away - the very place where Aisha and Cynthia had chosen to station their camp.
First Generation Mewtwo had naturally witnessed all of Aisha and Cynthia's interactions.
As Aisha was cooking, it marveled at how this beautiful young man was really a good cook, and seemed to be an exceptionally powerful trainer in his own right; Second Generation Mewtwo was blessed.
Aisha was taking care of the sleepy Eevee, it also sighed that an excellent trainer should be like this, the strength of the battle doesn't matter, the heart for Pokémon is really sincere.
As Aisha was pulled into the tent by Cynthia, it felt like it should call the police...
"Bad."
First Generation Mewtwo held its chin with mixed emotions.
Although it was said that it knew a lot about human culture and human society.
However, First Generation Mewtwo was not a proper human after all.
It now had doubts about Aisha and Cynthia's relationship...
"What is their relationship?"
...
The next day, Aisha opened his eyes within the tent.
Probably because he slept too late last night, he woke up almost an hour later today compared to normal.
By this time, the sky was already bright.
The sunlight penetrated into the tent through the tent's zipper that wasn't completely zipped up, completely awakening Aisha's somewhat fuzzy consciousness.
"..."
Instructor felt that his body was a bit heavy, and at the same time there was some binding sensation spreading all over his body.
"...Ah."
Turning his neck slightly, Aisha found his cheek brushing against Cynthia's.
Soft.
Cynthia, who was just holding Instructor's wrist last night, was now a very poor sleeper wrapped around his body, as if she was an octopus wrapping her arms around the teenager's waist.
"Sleeping like a terrible person..."
Seeing this scene, even Aisha couldn't help but spit out a sentence.
Luckily, Cynthia wasn't drooling.
Aisha took a slight look at his own clothes - luckily, they were intact.
Cynthia's clothes were the same.
Well, it's a success if it doesn't get ripped...
"Hhm?"
Cynthia, who was an extremely light sleeper, opened her eyes just as half-asleep after some movement from Aisha.
"Eh..."
She rubbed her eyes and rose slightly.
Something soft almost pressed on top of Aisha's face along with her movement.
Instructor moved to the side obediently as well, and the two of them pulled apart slightly so that they didn't continue to stick together.
"..."
At this time, Cynthia also finally rationalized what she had actually done between last night and this morning, and her dull expression that she had thought to be half-asleep suddenly crumbled.
"Uh... Cynthia."
"Sorry!"
Instructor was about to say something when Cynthia landed on a tiger and earth down seated within the narrow tent.
"..."
"I'm really very sorry for having a bad heart for someone I haven't known for a long time, I... I'll immediately seek out Junsa-sama to turn myself in when I arrive in Saffron City!"
"No, no... Not really."
Looking at Cynthia's expression of "I'm guilty, I deserve to die", Instructor Ai also had a headache.
"Ahhhhhhhh..."
Cynthia was still in self-contempt.
Instructor Ai decided to take some extraordinary measures.
"Miss Cynthia, you don't want what you've done to be known by others, do you?"
"Eh?"
Hearing Aisha's words that seemed to be full of threats, Cynthia also finally raised her head against the ground and looked at him with a confused face, saying, "Instructor Ai, what are you doing?"
She felt a sense of deja vu with this image and line.
So it was inevitable that there was an excitement mixed within the tone.
"If you don't want to, pack up and get ready to get up, we must have arrived at Lavender Town by tonight."
Aisha felt that Cynthia's reaction was a bit strange, however, still finished his lines.
After that, Aisha rolled over and rolled out of the tent.
"..."
Only Cynthia remained within the tent.
"Hah, still too wimpy."
To the unoccupied tent, Cynthia complained about her problem.
Well, this guy wasn't reflecting at all!
"Hmm?"
After Instructor Ai stabilized himself on top of the lawn outside, he saw a distant Garchomp on top of a rock-covered clearing, teaching Larvitar on its moves.
"Ow!"
"By~"
The bodies of the two Pokémon were wrapped in strong dragon attribute energy, and the violent aura that belonged solely to the attribute of "dragon" drifted out.
"Outrage?"
Aisha could tell at a glance what the move Larvitar had learned from Garchomp was.
The dragon type physical attack move, Outrage that was synonymous with the Draco Meteor.
This move was also indeed within the list of moves that Larvitar had been taught.
Even with an excellent teacher in the form of a Garchomp, learning it in one day simultaneously showed the strength of Larvitar's talent.
The question was what was it doing to learn Outrage?
"...Forget it."
Looking at Larvitar's satisfied smile, Instructor Ai didn't say anything more.
Anyway, his own Larvitar seemed to be gifted with close combat specialization, learning some high-powered object attack moves wasn't a bad thing.
"This child also has the genetic move Dragon Dance, could both parents have one side that is a dragon type Pokémon?"
Aisha shook his head after thinking for a while.
Dragon Dance move didn't mean anything, as some Pokémon that didn't have the characteristics of a dragon at all could have learned this powerful enhancement move without even realizing it.
On the contrary, some serious "dragons" couldn't learn it...
"Regret."
Looking at Garchomp, Instructor Ai showed a regretful expression.
"Ow?"
Cynthia's Garchomp was dumbfounded as it watched Aisha show a regretful expression towards itself.
What did it mean?
"Caterpie."
Instructor Ai greeted his very first partner.
"You demonstrate Dragon Dance to Larvitar, this is a move that it needs to focus on in its subsequent moves!"
"Mee~"
Caterpie instantly skillfully performed Dragon Dance once.
"Lar~"
Larvitar instantly came to Caterpie's side with glowing eyes and transformed into a little fan.
Garchomp: "..."
Outrageous!
"Instructor Ai..."
At this time, Cynthia also burrowed out of the tent.
Aisha then clapped her hands.
"Well, it's almost time to depart, everyone."
