Mustard: Young People Do Not Respect Martial Ethics

Galar area, Wedgehurst.

"Ooohh!"

A man's very loud voice came from the famous Pokémon Research Institute in Wedgehurst.

Sonia, standing on the second floor ladder and flipping through a book, was so startled by his sudden shout that she almost fell off the ladder.

"Ah... What the hell!"

After stabilizing her footsteps in a panic, Sonia gripped the railing of the second floor with an unhappy face and looked towards the man sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor.

"Hey, Leon, what are you yelling about?"

"Ah, sorry!"

The man on the couch, Leon, the champion of the Galar region, who had not taken off his heavy cape even when he was a guest at Sonia's institute, gave an embarrassed smile to his childhood friend on the second floor.

He showed his cell phone to Sonia.

"Look, Instructor Ai is broadcasting Sunny Day Team's tactical instruction matchup live."

"Huh?"

Sonia fixed her eyes on the screen displayed on Leon's phone, and it was indeed Aisha's live broadcast setup.

She sighed.

Gripping the railing, Sonia looked down at Leon with a headache on her face.

"I mean, even if it's Instructor Ai's live stream, there's no need for you to get so excited, right?"

"It's like you don't usually watch his live broadcasts." Sonia couldn't understand Leon's battle-crazed mindset.

He couldn't even beat his own Rookidee with Charmander when he was a kid...

"No, no!"

Leon laughed and shook his head at Sonia.

Facing Sonia's doubt, Leon told the reason why he was so excited.

"Instructor Ai is fighting Master!"

"What?"

Sonia's eyes widened slightly.

Now she really understood why Leon was so excited.

Of course Sonia knew who Leon's master was.

The former champion of the Galar region, the undefeated Master of Fighting Attributes for over eighteen years, Mustard!

Aisha was also Leon's favorite anchor...

No wonder Leon was so excited to have these two very important people come together.

"Let me see!"

Sonia was interested too.

She climbed down from the second floor of the institute, which was filled with books, and ran to Leon's side as fast as she could.

"Ha-ha-ha."

Leon laughed at her appearance and projected the image from his cell phone onto the TV in the living room of the institute.

"Really..."

Looking at Instructor Ai's game screen showing Mustard's account and avatar, Sonia couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock.

There was no need to say how powerful Mustard was.

His apprentice Leon has proved that he's a master of his craft.

He's not just some online cheat with a lightning whip, he's a true master of power and talent.

"Master Mustard, I remember it's been years since you've participated in a tournament, right?"

Watching Instructor Ai's battle with Master Mustard on the live feed, Sonia looked thoughtful.

"Yeah."

Leon leaned back on the soft sofa, his eyes full of smiles as he watched Instructor Ai and Master Mustard battle back and forth on the live broadcast.

"Ever since I took this champion's cape from him, Master hasn't attended any more matches."

Leon rubbed his cape.

Sonia sniffed and glanced at Leon's heavy cloak.

She was there to celebrate Leon when he was crowned Galar Regional Champion.

"At that time... Your cape didn't have this much advertising on it."

Sonia murmured, whether intentionally or not.

Leon laughed it off and didn't talk about it.

He and Sonia both knew that the advertisements on the cape on his back were far more than just advertisements...

"But Master is a fighter!"

Leon was very excited, saying, "Some time ago, I went to Isle of Armor and fought against Master."

"Yikes..."

The Galar Regional Champion stroked his hair and smiled.

"Master is as powerful as ever, my Charizard almost lost to him."

"So you went all out against him, huh?"

Sonia looked at her childhood friend with dead eyes.

Leon's enthusiasm and attitude towards fighting was something she couldn't help but notice every time she saw him.

This guy doesn't take any chances when he fights, he gives it his all, and he loves to challenge people all over the place.

He's a torpedo.

"You like Instructor Ai for a reason, I can only say."

Sonia looked at Instructor Ai, who was gradually overpowering Master Mustard in the live broadcast and dominating the battle.

Well...

Both are champions, and both like to fry fish.

"Awesome."

Leon was amazed at Instructor Ai's ability to suppress Master Mustard, and he looked at Aisha's face in the lower left corner of the broadcast with a serious look on his face.

"Master's level of online sparring is quite a bit more powerful than real sparring, Instructor Ai was actually able to overpower Master, doesn't that mean he's just as strong as me?"

Leon's heart surfaced a "reasonable" formula.

"I'm really looking forward to fighting Instructor Ai."

"Maybe you'll get the chance."

Sonia laughed.

Leon's expression changed to one of surprise.

"What did you say?"

"Hmm."

Sonia leaned back on the couch and smiled pleasantly.

"Instructor Ai and I are good friends!"

"What?"

Leon looked envious.

"When did you two meet?"

"Never mind when we met, Instructor Ai and I are very good friends!"

Sonia, intent on bragging in front of Leon, couldn't possibly tell him that she and Aisha had only met once, at a seminar in Lumiose City.

She didn't say anything, but she put a mysterious smile on her face.

This made Leon curious.

Sonia covered her mouth with a satisfied smile as she watched Leon scratch his head in anxiety.

"Anyway, if there's a chance, I'll invite him to Galar..."

"At that time, it's up to you if you can invite him to play against you or not..." Sonia waved her hand, her shiny nails reflecting beautifully in the sunlight.

"I see..."

Leon looked puzzled and rubbed his chin.

He suddenly smiled, a big smile.

"I'm looking forward to it!"

"Well..."

Although the plan to brag in front of Leon had succeeded, Sonia's expression was a bit complicated.

She remembered that when she had mentioned to Aisha that she wanted him to fight with Leon, Aisha's response was that Leon was so busy with his daily work that they should not bother him and cause him trouble.

"Hey."

Turning her head and looking at Aisha's face on the live feed, Sonia was filled with admiration and said, "Instructor Ai, it's really great..."

"Speaking of which..."

At this moment, Sonia suddenly remembered something.

"Last time we chatted, Instructor Ai seemed to say that he was worried about taking in Grass-type Pokémon."

"Oh?"

At that, Leon's mind perked up.

At the mention of drafting a Grass-type Pokémon... Leon's first thought would be a Rillaboom!

With the Grassy Surge trait, it opens up a grass field and then slides down the grass slides one at a time.

"Hmm..."

Leon was wondering if he wanted to prepare a Grookey for Instructor Ai as a gift.

While they were talking, Instructor Ai's Charizard sent Master Mustard's Kommo-o away with a Flamethrower on a sunny day.

"Won?"

Sonia was shocked.

Although she knew Instructor Ai's power, Master Mustard was also an incredibly powerful trainer at the top of the world.

Seeing Instructor Ai win against Master Mustard so easily shook Sonia's heart.

"Ah... I see."

Leon, on the other hand, didn't look surprised at all - he had expected this outcome from the moment Instructor Ai started to suppress Master Mustard.

Stroking his chin, Leon's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Instructor Ai's team this time was a very standard Sunny Day Team, and he had a very good sense of defense, and suppressed Master Mustard from the very beginning."

Leon, who had watched the whole match, recalled the flow of the match and realized that Aisha had hardly shown any weaknesses.

On the contrary, Master Mustard was lured by Instructor Ai and made a few mistakes in operation and judgment, so Instructor Ai took advantage of the situation and won.

"That's great!"

Leon was not stingy with his praise.

He could see that Instructor Ai's awareness and big-picture thinking during the battle was at the level of a champion, and not even an ordinary champion.

"I didn't expect Dayan to produce another champion... He will definitely participate in the next 'Elite Four Tournament', right?"

Leon couldn't help but rejoice at the thought of his fight with Instructor Ai.

That would be the best championship moment ever!

...

Dayan region, Magic City.

"Lost!"

An old man wailed sadly from inside his room.

Only to see the old boy Mustard slumped down on his computer desk with a face full of frustration and resignation.

The computer in front of him showed the word "Defeat", and it was clear that he and Instructor Ai had fought an all-out six-on-six battle.

Master Mustard lost, and Instructor Ai lost three Pokémon.

It was a complete and utter loss...

"I didn't realize how strong little Aisha was. No wonder little Leon's been talking about how he wants to play against him."

Master Mustard only now realized his naivety.

Originally, he wanted to go back and show off to his pupil that he had fought Instructor Ai, but Instructor Ai had beaten him directly.

What to brag about now... You can't brag about losing, can you?

"It's a good thing we didn't let this kid enter the tournament, or else all the other competitors would have been knocked out of their seats by him."

Master Mustard congratulated himself on his wise decision.

"No wonder little Leon likes him." Master Mustard thought the same thing as Sonia.

Leon was a champion fish fryer, and Instructor Ai was a heavyweight.

The World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference may have a strong name, but it's clearly not the kind of event a champion should sign up for.

"Young men don't respect martial ethics."

Master Mustard shook his head helplessly.

Then he laughed.

Master Mustard was old now, and had lost all regard for fame and fortune.

He was actually happier that Dayan had a new champion trainer than that he had lost to Instructor Ai.

"There's no boat for me in the new era... I'd better leave the world to the youngsters and enjoy my life in Isle of Armor..."

...

"Whew, that's enough material."

Aisha breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the computer display his victory, and lay down on the gaming chair that Boss Giovanni had specially chosen for him.

Since Mustard had retired for many years, even if they recognized him, the water users weren't overly excited by Instructor Ai's victory.

However, Aisha himself was well aware of the thrill of the battle.

Mustard was a veteran champion, and in reality, his strength might have been reduced due to age and physical deterioration.

But that's not a problem in online combat. His fundamentals are solid.

It took a lot of hard work on his part to get Master Mustard to reveal his weaknesses...

But, at least he won.

"The quality of this game was so high, I couldn't understand it at the end."

"You think Instructor Ai and Master Mustard are on the first level, but actually Master Mustard is on the fifth level, but Instructor Ai is in the atmosphere!"

"This joint defense, this reinforcement, this idea... My God, it's too strong, this is Instructor Ai's true strength."

"This is the textbook Sunny Day Team."

"I learned it, I'll go fight the champions!"

With Instructor Ai's win, the live stream was raging with barrage.

The quality of tonight's broadcast was extremely high, and the program was even more explosive, Instructor Ai's live broadcast was still going high.

In particular, with his victory over Mustard, some of the bigwigs lurking in the studio are gradually emerging.

Summer, the No.1 big sister on the ranking list, immediately rewarded him with a rocket.

Followed by the second biggest brother "Fighter".

There were also rockets from the famous miner Steven Stone and Water Artist Wallace, accompanied by their congratulations and cheers.

Surprisingly, Sinnoh champion Cynthia made her first appearance on the live stream's bounty list - the Sinnoh Valkyrie is not the type of person who would be happy to reward an anchor, as far as I know.

Unova's Caitlin also showed off her financial power by giving out a huge amount of gifts.

The people on the street have gradually forgotten about Master Mustard's strength, but the champions and kings of Unova won't...

Master Mustard is a veteran of the Galar League who has dominated the League for 18 years.

Accordingly, their opinion of Instructor Ai has risen to a new level.

Instructor Ai must be the champion - this thought became their consensus.

The gathering of many bigwigs caused a shock to the old and new fans.

Especially...

Summer realized that Caitlin, who was swiping gifts, was coveting her position as Instructor Ai's top sister.

The shut-in girl who lacked everything but money was on fire.

The two of them swiped at each other.

"How to do, the first time to see the live room of the Asura field1, so exciting."

"The boss is confused!"

"I can't see the screen, it's too much!"

The fans were watching the game, and were frantically arching the fire.

In the end, Instructor Ai stopped them from having a money fight.

At the same time, the popularity of the live room also made Instructor Ai, who originally felt that he had recorded enough material and was ready to go off the air at the speed of light.

"What to do..."

While thinking, he caught a glimpse of Iono coming online.

"Hey!"

Instructor Ai was delighted.

He sent a request for a match.

"Thank you, Iono."

As Iono's account accepted the match request, the air was once again filled with joy.

The fans were feeling the depth of Iono's love for Instructor Ai.

She's really, crying her eyes out.

...

The color of the night is getting thicker.

"Ruu!"

'Aisha-sha!'

Ralts pushed open the door to Instructor Ai's room with her powers.

The cute little guy smiled and looked at Aisha, who was playing the keyboard at the computer desk, and then, a Teleport jumped directly into his arms.

"You kid..."

Aisha was startled by Ralts, and hurriedly hugged it, rubbing the kid's head with a little bit of reproach.

"What's wrong?"

"Ruu~"

'Hungry~'

Ralts looked up with big watery eyes and gazed at Aisha with pitiful eyes.

Then, it covered its small stomach, and its stomach made a timely "gurgling" sound.

"Ah..."

Frozen for a moment, Aisha looked out the window.

It was dark, and it was pitch black outside.

Looking at the time, it was already late.

"Hah."

Petting Ralts' head, Aisha shook his head a little introspectively.

This afternoon, he and Summer had spent the afternoon hanging out, and then had a battle with Nemona.

It was dark by the time he got home, not to mention the kids must have gotten hungry after being on air for so long.

"Okay!"

Holding Ralts in his arms, Aisha stood up and walked out of the room.

"Don't panic, I'll have your food ready in half an hour!"

Instructor Ai revealed a confident smile.

Plugging his dignity as a chef, he mustn't let the kids wait too long!

"Ru~"

'Yes~'

Ralts cheered.

Chef Ai's credentials proved to be undeniable.

In less than half an hour, he had a big meal on the table.

The hungry Pokémon finished their dinner in a flash, and began their evening workout on their own.

Looking at the hard work of everyone, Instructor Ai gratifying smile, carrying a cup of coffee up the stairs, back to the computer desk.

Everyone in the effort, he can not be lazy.

"It's been a long time since I stayed up late!"

Immediately, the room sounded the sound of editing video.

Instructor Ai didn't stop until the dawn in the east.

"Ha..."

Yawning and glancing at the empty cup, Aisha rolled over onto the bed.

"Today, sleep all day!"

Behind him, on the brightly lit computer screen, a video titled "Instructor Ai's Tactics Instruction: Sunny Day Team" was already being uploaded.
