I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"what?"

As expected, upon hearing this, Chibana opened his mouth exaggeratedly.

"Uncle Benchibana, how could you possibly lose in the first round? Just wait, I'll definitely beat you in this year's championship challenge!"

"I am waiting."

Dan Emperor spread his hands.

In the more than ten years since Dantei became the champion, in more than a dozen championship challenges, the final battle was between him and Chibana.

Without exception, Kibana was defeated by Dantei's Gigantamax Charizard and was always defeated by Dantei.

Therefore, Chibana, who claims to be the strongest rival of the Dan Emperor, regards defeating the Dan Emperor as his only goal and strives for it day and night.

Dandi likes Chibana's passionate look and also likes fighting with him.

Of course, it would be better if this guy could post fewer updates.

"Speaking of..."

Suddenly, Chibana approached Dandi and asked excitedly.

"That guy, is he coming too?"

"Ah."

Without thinking, Dandi knew who Qibana was asking.

"Coach Ai arrived a while ago. He's said to be training in the Crown Snowfields. Caidou is with him. President Luo Zi sent him a message this morning. We should be able to see him in Mugan Town in the next few days."

"Tsk tsk~"

Chibana raised his eyebrows, smacked his lips, and said with a half-smile.

"With Caidou following him around, this kid, hey~ is really lucky."

Gossip is the nature of all human beings, especially Chibana, who loves social software and surfs the Internet every day, is a gossip lover.

He elbowed Dan Emperor and smiled happily.

"I heard that the girl from Hualang Town, the one who uses the Flame Horse, seems to be interested in him. And Lulina mentioned his name in an interview a while ago. Hehe~ Do you think there will be a Shura Field when the competition starts?"

"what......"

Emperor Dan held his forehead with a headache and shook his head.

"I thought you wanted to fight Coach Ai, but I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of thing..."

"It's hard not to care about this kind of thing, right?"

Chibana was confident.

"This guy has a face that could bring disaster to the country and the people, yet so many girls like him. Tsk, my popularity has been eclipsed by his!"

It seems that Coach Ai’s popularity has always been much higher than yours—Dan Di thought with shame.

"Besides, who would want to fight a monster like that?"

Chibana called out.

"What if he takes out Rayquaza to fight me? Wouldn't I explode?"

"Have it?"

Dan Emperor asked doubtfully.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing Coach Ai bring out his legendary Pokémon to battle me."

As he spoke, an excited expression appeared on Dandi's face.

Many people say that Dante was born for Pokémon battles and is a natural trainer because not only is his mind full of battles, but he also never refuses a challenge from others.

From the guy in shorts on the street to the Four Heavenly Kings and champions of a region, no matter how strong or weak, no matter how many, as long as they challenge him, he will accept it all without blinking an eye.

From this point of view, he is very similar to the legend of the Kanto region, Red of Shirogane Mountain. No wonder people always compare the two of them.

"You're great, but I can't."

Chibana shook his head.

Although he also likes Pokémon battles, it doesn't mean he likes to be bullied.

It doesn't matter if he loses to the Dan Emperor. After all, he and the Dan Emperor are strong rivals, and the gap in their strength is not that big. There will always be a day when he will win back.

But fighting Aisha...

Whether being killed by Aisha's Rayquaza or being disgusted to death by her dirty tricks, these are things that Chibana cannot accept.

"Alas!"

When Chibana thought about the time when he was killed by Aisha using various dirty tricks during an online battle, such as poisoning, destroying songs, and stepping on shadows, he shuddered.

"So, just look at his Shura Field, whether it's a battle or something, or..."

Boom!

Before Chibana could finish his words, suddenly, a loud noise came from under the feet of the two of them, shaking the entire boxing arena.

"what's the situation?"

Dandi stood up, took Charizard's Poké Ball from his waist, and subconsciously assumed a fighting stance.

He looked at Chibana, but saw that Chibana was sitting there, not moving at all, as if he was used to it.

"Oh, nothing."

Chibana looked calm and shook his head.

"Didn't President Luo Zi tell you that his energy plant is currently developing a new project? Explosions are common, so it won't have any impact."

“Is that so…?”

Dandi's expression became complicated.

Under the Fist Arena is the Marrokomon Group's energy plant, which is responsible for supplying energy to the entire Galar region.

However, Dan Di always had a bad feeling. He felt that these explosions were not just research accidents, but also concealed other unknown secrets.

"I see."

Nodding, Dandi walked towards the door.

"I'm leaving first. There are still a few gyms that haven't been notified."

"You went the wrong way. That door is not the exit, it's the toilet!"

"what......"

Dan Di looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and walked to the other side.

"That's the contestant tunnel. I just came back from there..."

Chibana covered his face and stood up.

"Forget it, I'll take you out and drop you off at the station so you don't get lost once you leave the Quanguan Arena."

"Then I'll leave it to you, haha..."

Dandi smiled embarrassedly.

Chibana sighed.

It’s okay to be nosy, but what kind of champion would be so directionally challenged?

......

At nine o'clock in the evening, the train arrived at Mugan Town.

"Well, see you at the game, Coach Ai."

At the station, Caidou said goodbye to Aisha.

She also has to go back to Chuan Town to prepare for the championship challenge.

"Gym Leaders have such a hard time..."

Sonia sighed.

"It's nothing."

Caidou shook her head.

"With great power comes great responsibility. The status of gym leader gives me many advantages, but I also need to give something in return."

"You're taking it too seriously..."

Sonia stuck out her tongue.

Afterwards, the train from Mugan Town to Suchuan Town started, and Caidou transferred to another train and left.

"uh-huh......"

After walking out of the station, Sonia stretched out her white index finger, touched her lips, and smiled at Aisha.

"Then you two can stay at my place for the next week."

Sonia pointed to the east of Mugan Town.

"Over there, my research institute is right over there. It's huge, with several empty rooms. When you're tired of playing, you can just sleep there. Just treat it like your own home!"

"Sister Sonia's research institute..."

Liliae was a little excited.

During this period, she has been helping Sonia and is almost half of Sonia's assistant. Sonia also praises Liliae for her talent as a researcher, which makes Liliae very excited.

“I want to go and see it!”

"Then go."

"Besides, Christmas is just a few days away."

Sonia glanced at the time and her eyes lit up.

"Yeah~ I finally don't have to spend Christmas alone this year!"

"Oh~ Let's celebrate Christmas together~"

The supporter Lilia also cheered.

"Christmas?"

Aisha blinked.

“I need to think about what to cook…”

As he thought about it, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the south of Mugan Town.

On a summer day, there is a golden wheat field between Mugan Town and Hualang Town.

It is winter now, the wheat has been harvested, the fields are desolate, and the bright moonlight falls all over the fields.

There are a few houses in the distance, with a few lights lit in the night, giving the feeling of a small country town.

Aisha found the homes of Dandi and Hepu among those houses, as well as the home of her apprentice, Xiaoyou.

Just as he was about to look away and go to the research institute with Sonia, he caught a glimpse of a figure speeding along the path in the dark night.

"Eh?"

Ai Xia was stunned.

"Ai-Guidance-!!"

The next second, the black shadow let out a loud roar.

Aisha could see clearly then that it was a well-developed woolly horn sheep. Hep with short purple hair was lying on its back, shouting Aisha's nickname.

Behind the hairy-horned sheep, a majestic fiery horse followed closely.

Aisha ignored Hep and fixed her eyes on the girl on horseback.

"Long time no see..."

Aisha muttered to herself.

Beside her, Lillie's eyes became sharp.
