Instructor Ai Vs. Blue

The furnishings inside Viridian Gym are nothing too exotic, just a modest arena.

The gym's footprint is large, though, and the portion of the gym used for gym challenges is only a small portion of the front room.

This is also normal.

While other Gym Leaders had their own distinctive gyms, mainly because those people more or less took the gym to go along with their side projects, Blue didn't have to.

He was hanging on to the Gym Leader position in the League, but the Champion level strength and the researcher status was a real thing there.

Over the years, he had also researched quite a few things for the League, with countless patents.

The research funds, mission funds, and so on fully supported his daily life, as well as the consumption of breeding Pokémon.

It could be said that Blue didn't lack money at all.

He had more money than he could spend.

Apart from the occasional intense mission, Blue's daily life was to stay at home, breeding some favorite Pokémon or researching some topics he was interested in according to his own preferences.

The Pokémon he breeds and the topics he researches in his spare time may even bring him new income...

It can be called a life winner.

He was already living the life that Instructor Ai could only dream of.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time Ai-kun has come to my Viridian Gym."

Blue led Aisha into the interior of Viridian Gym.

"Here, it used to be Giovanni's territory, I personally don't really have that much of a demand for the gym's footprint."

"You also know that Giovanni is not a good person." Blue pointed to the back of the gym and said, "In the past, the underground and most of the above-ground areas of the Viridian Gym were filled with research equipment, experimental equipment, various experimental materials and data. Giovanni's identity became a layer of protection, which turned the gym, the most dangerous alliance for the Rockets, into their safest and least suspected core base."

"Rather like that man."

Aisha held his back and nodded thoughtfully.

To be so bold, it was like operating under the League's nose and slapping the League's face.

Such reckless yet logical and very steady form of demeanor, it really looks like Giovanni's operation.

"Uh-huh."

Blue spread his hands very helplessly.

"So... When I took over the gym, I kind of got a big empty lot at my disposal for nothing."

"So, you converted Viridian Gym into your own Pokémon breeding base?"

Aisha looked over at Blue, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy of the big dog owner.

When he walked up to the door just now, he realized that the exterior of Viridian Gym had some imperceptible circuits that led to the underground.

Unsurprisingly, Blue had probably built some large-scale facilities underneath the gym, fully utilizing the gym's space.

"Hmm."

Blue wrapped his arms around his chest and smiled wildly.

As if he was showing off his masterpiece to Aisha, he smoothly took out a copy of the Viridian Gym's structural map from inside the cabinet at the gym's entrance, and pointing to the architectural sketches drawn on the map, he said, "Above ground, except for this place we're currently standing in, which I've used as the necessary sparring area for the gym challenge, all the other parts are all divided into Pokémon's residence."

Without waiting for Aisha to react, his finger was pointing to the rear.

"You see, originally, there was a large portion of indoor area over here, but, I considered that the Pokémon I cultivated could not possibly be as many as this, so I split all of these indoor areas into open-air types, and turned them into vegetable gardens for growing trees and fruits."

"It's a relief to grow your own." Aisha nodded with understanding.

For those of them who were veteran breeders, when making Pokéblock as well as Pokémon food, there were strict requirements for the quality of tree fruits that were often unimaginable.

Many cultivators with old seniority, as well as enough financial strength, would embark on the operation of growing their own tree fruits.

In their own way, they grow high-quality tree fruits that are not commercially available, and then make them into Pokéblocks.

This is why, there is a big difference between the master level Pokéblocks.

Because these Pokéblocks are the work of their hands and hearts, from start to finish, from raw material to finished product.

Instructor Ai is a traveler and is not in a position to start a tree orchard.

However, before his trip to Kanto, he had changed his fruit supplier to a large one introduced by Wallace, so there was no problem with the quality.

Blue, on the other hand, had a stable income as well as a large-scale place.

Wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't grow the tree fruits?

Blue was a 'Breeder'.

The tree fruits he planted, even if they were only eaten dry, tasted great.

"If you like it, I'll peddle you a bag on the way out."

"Why is it a bit like what we Dayan people say when we visit relatives..."

Instructor Ai spat out with half-opened eyes.

And then... he made a list of the tree fruits he needed.

Well, that smelled good!

"OK." After listening to Aisha's needs, Blue revealed an approving expression and said, "As expected of Instructor Ai, the tree fruits are picked so tastefully."

"..." Green was silent.

She felt like she shouldn't be in the car, but underneath it.

After these two chatted, the topic was all about sparring and nurturing, with absolutely no room to interject.

"Hah."

Green sighed.

Over there, Aisha then looked at the bottom of the drawing and said, "What's the situation underground?"

"Underground is the area where all the Pokémon exercise."

"All of it?"

"Yes!" Blue proudly puffed out his chest and said, "The underground of the gym has been completely transformed by me into a base for special training of Pokémon of all attributes, no matter what attribute, type, or preference of Pokémon, all of them will be able to find a suitable place for them to exercise there."

"You..."

Instructor Ai's face revealed a look of marvel.

This kind of configuration could be called a paradise for Pokémon trainers.

This kind of financial strength...

"This Gym Leader of yours is too nourishing... I want to be a Gym Leader too."

"Don't be so unproductive!" Blue pressed Aisha's shoulder, and with a face of hatred, said, "If we want to be, let's go directly to the Elite Four and the Championship, I believe that Aisha has the strength to do so!"

"Some day I'll be a Dayan Champion for a while, when that happens, what do you want?"

"Really!"

"Oh?" A familiar voice with a teasing tone came in.

"Ai-chan wants to be champion?"

Lorelei walked into the Viridian Gym with her long legs.

"Ah?" Blue was a little surprised.

"What wind is blowing our Ice Woman over here?"

"Hmph~"

Lorelei gave him a blank look and a pair of winks to Aisha.

"I've come here today specifically to see how Ai-chan violently beat up a stinky boy like you~"

"I didn't realize that Ai-kun had invited such a heavyweight guest to support him?"

"Instructor Ai's connections are like that." Green chimed in from the side.

"Alright."

Clapping his hands, Blue looked at Green and Lorelei and said, "Since that's the case, let's cut the crap and start the gym challenge right away."

"Miss Lorelei go wait on top of the audience first and... During this period of time because the staff in the gym is on vacation, please Green, you can temporarily take over the referee's job."

"Okay."

Green agreed and stepped up to the referee's chair.

Lorelei didn't have any objections either.

After making a cheering gesture towards Instructor Ai, she sat on top of the row of spectator seats closest to the opponent's field.

"Ai-kun, you can start the live broadcast now."

"Good."

Aisha nodded and took out his live-streaming drone.

Speaking of which, since that extremely large-scale beast tide in the Grampa Valley, Instructor Ai hadn't opened a live broadcast.

Those who waited for Instructor Ai's wild training, as well as the water friends who were down for the live broadcast could be said to be scratching their heads, urging for more updates inside their fan groups day in and day out.

However, Instructor Ai was also really busy during this period of time.

The video did not post much, live broadcast did not broadcast much.

Today he held back a big job.

[Instructor Ai teaches you to play against Blue] This is the title of the live broadcast.

Because he knew that Blue was coming back today, Instructor Ai had sent out a preview of the live broadcast last night.

Today, his live broadcast room had already been filled with people.

"Urgent, when will the Viridian Gym Challenge start?"

"Don't rush up there first, let me rush first."

"I know you guys are in a hurry, in a hurry, I want to see Instructor Ai get brutally beaten by Blue."

"Why isn't Instructor Ai brutally beating Blue?"

"Blue is a serious champion trainer, the Gym Leader with the most hellish challenge inside the eight gyms in the Kanto region, why do you think..."

The live stream was bristling with hyped-up barrage.

Viridian Gym was different from the other seven gyms, and the number of fans who were looking forward to this broadcast was unprecedented.

There was no other reason than the fact that the Gym Leader of this gym was Blue, the former Kanto Champion.

Although his tenure was short as hell, however, he was also undeniably powerful.

After he became the Gym Leader of Viridian Gym, the gym basically became the mountain of gym challenges in the Kanto area that no one could get through.

Not many trainers usually dare to challenge Blue.

This time it was hard to catch a guy who didn't know any better and had a livestream, so people definitely wanted to see it.

At the same time... There were also quite a few people with different ideas.

They wanted to analyze Aisha's strength through his fight against Blue, how strong was it?

Aisha's strength wasn't weak, and could even be said to be strong.

However, just how strong he was, it all depended on this gym challenge match to decide...

"It's starting!"

Aisha's voice entered the live broadcast room.

Subsequently, a screen appeared in the live broadcast room.

Inside the screen, the upright Blue stood at one end of the field, Green was at the side of the field, and Aisha stood across from Blue.

"This gym challenge is an all-out six-on-six match!"

The moment Green said this, it directly set off a furor within Instructor Ai's live room.

"Six versus six, isn't the gym challenge three versus three?"

"All-out battle, Instructor Ai and Blue's all-out battle, double the happiness!"

"No, how can this anchor dare?"

"This should be Blue and Instructor Ai discussing the rules, the two of them usually interact online and look on good terms, it should be a special gym challenge."

"Okay, we have something to watch today, I'll go get the takeout."

Countless barrages brushed across the screen as everyone reported their anticipation for this special gym challenge.

Quite a few people

"After the negotiation between both trainers, for this gym challenge, both the Trainer and Gym Leader are free to replace their Pokémon."

Green meticulously read out the rules of the sparring match and said, "Then, the sparring match..."

"Begin!"

As the words fell, the two Pokémon balls flew up into the sky together.

Underneath the flying Pokémon balls, Aisha and Blue locked eyes.

Aisha saw Blue's eyes, which still contained a smile, emerge with a serious seriousness, as well as a touch of serious sharpness.

He was moving for real.

"Lu!"

"Woof!"

Two figures, one red and one blue, sprang out from within the open Pokémon ball and landed on both sides of the field.

On Aisha's side was Azumarill, who had been playing the lead role for 10,000 years, while Blue released a divine Arcanine.

This Arcanine was cultivated much better than Blaine's Arcanine, and as soon as it landed, it roared toward Azumarill.

"Woof!"

This roar carried magical power within it, causing even the battle-hardened Azumarill to take a step back unconsciously.

The Intimidate trait was activated, and Azumarill's Physical Attack dropped by one level.

Blue then raised his hand and retrieved Arcanine.

The pace of a six-on-six matchup wasn't exactly fast, and it was a much greater test for Trainers.

Even if Arcanine had intimidated Azumarill, there was no way Blue would let it fight a Water-type Pokémon against its attributes.

Especially since this Pokémon's strength was frighteningly high.

However, Aisha on the opposite side also retrieved Azumarill.

This caused Blue's hand to move away from the top of the originally selected Poké ball.

"Go!"

He threw a second Poké ball, and a huge, menacing Gyrados appeared above the field, landing with a loud rumble.

The warriors on Aisha's side were petite in comparison.

"Boo~"

An Umbreon licked its fur, hiding sharp eyes staring straight at Gyrados.

"Roar!"

Blue's selected Gyrados was naturally the Intimidate trait, and the fierce one let out a roar towards Aisha's Umbreon.

Aisha, on the other hand, was indifferent and smiled as he gave that command, saying, "Umbreon, Taunt."

Blue was startled, and his brain went into a flurry of choices.

He realized what Aisha had in mind, and after some weighing of the pros and cons, shouted the command, saying, "Gyrados, Taunt!"

However, before it did, Umbreon, who was bathed in a layer of blue light, had already used the move before him.

"Boo~"

Umbreon raised its middle finger at Gyrados.

"Roar!" Gyrados was instantly unable to contain its anger.

"What's going on?"

Blue frowned.

Gyrados lost the speed fight...

Your Umbreon can still be faster than my Gyrados?

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Blue's eyes glazed over, and then he was surprised.

Because, along with Umbreon raising its head, a blue ball of cloth with a painted human face scrawled on it hanging below its neck was revealed.

"Adrenaline Orb?"

"No?" Blue was confused.

"Your Umbreon carries Adrenaline Orb?"

"Why didn't you say you also carry two Intimidators?" Aisha choked back, saying, "How dare you intimidate me, I'm against you!"

"Umbreon, Mean Look!"
