I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Aisha is one of them.

"Pokémon is a magical creature. If you treat Pokémon well, Pokémon will treat you twice as well."

In response to this, Aisha simply responded indifferently.

"They can sense your feelings and fight tooth and nail to repay you... Only when Pokémon and Trainers connect with each other can they gain truly powerful strength."

"Only by sharing one's heart can one become truly powerful...?"

Aisha used two simple sentences to make Songye fall into deep thought.

"Ah."

Aisha nodded.

"My Pokémon and I are family, a true and irreplaceable family relationship."

"Family...?"

Songye's expression was complicated as he repeatedly chewed over Aisha's words.

What Aisha meant was actually very simple, which is the old saying that "power alone is far from enough, only the strength of bonds can bring true strength."

Songye actually understands the truth.

But actually doing it...

"Aren't you and your Gengar in a similar relationship?"

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Aixia leaned on the table, supporting her face, and said this as if to remind him.

"Eh?"

Songye was stunned.

"Isn't the very premise of practicing Ghost Secrets that the trainer and the Ghost-type Pokémon can trust each other completely and completely?"

"Yes......"

Songye nodded in a daze.

"Then just keep doing it."

Aisha smiled at him and said, "Believe in your Pokémon, believe in the bond between you, but bonds and trust alone are not enough... So, tell your Gengar and the rest of your friends about your feelings and thoughts, and then work hard together to train and slowly become stronger."

"As long as you treat them well..."

As she said this, Aisha met Songye's eyes.

"..."

Songye stared into his eyes closely.

There was not a trace of deception or hypocrisy in the boy's obsidian-like pure eyes, only true feelings.

“They will definitely live up to your expectations.”

After he finished speaking, Aisha stopped talking.

Having said that, he really had nothing more to say.

And Songye is not the kind of guy who is so stupid that he needs Aisha to feed him food.

"Ah."

Nodding vigorously, he stood up and bowed sharply to Aisha.

"I understand. Thank you, Coach Ai!"

After saying that, he walked towards the door, looking like he couldn't wait to have a good chat with his Pokémon.

But before leaving, he still smiled and told Aixia about the Yuanzhu Dance Hall.

"Coach Ai, the performance at Yuanzhu Dance Theatre starts at 8 o'clock tonight."

Lying on the door, Songye smiled and made a "see you later" gesture, saying: "I will also go to see it in the evening, then we will meet there!"

"Ah."

Aisha nodded in agreement.

"So, bye!"

"Goodbye."

The two said goodbye and Songye left.

"..."

At this time, Latias, who had been sitting nearby eating, raised his head and looked straight at Aisha.

"what happened?"

Noticing its gaze, Aisha smiled and asked.

As a result, Latias dragged his chair to Aisha's side and looked him in the face almost.

"You, just now said that Pokémon are your family..."

"Ah."

"Me too?"

"what."

Aisha laughed, not expecting Latias to ask that.

But he didn't tease Latias. He looked at it seriously, took its hand, and said, "Of course, if you want, we are family."

"Very good!"

The girl didn't know how to hide her feelings. She only knew that she liked Aisha, and Aisha had just given her an answer that she liked.

"Family, we are family~"

Latias laughed and put his arms around Aisha's neck, rocking him, looking very happy.

"Yes~ yes~ family~ family~"

Aisha was laughing and agreeing with Latias at first.

But immediately he showed a strange expression.

because......

"It's glowing!"

Latias pointed at Aisha's waist bag with a surprised look on his face.

At this moment, a brilliant purple light burst out from the gap of Aisha's waist bag.

"This is......"

Aixia had a guess in her mind, and a surprised expression appeared on her face. She reached out and took the glowing object out of her bag.

It was a spherical gem with a crystal clear purple body and a leaf made of dark purple and magenta inside.

At this moment, the gem was emitting a dazzling purple light, and the closer it got to Latias, the brighter the light became.

Latias Mega Evolution Stone, this is the additional reward given to Aisha by the system after he completed the hidden mission "Guardians of the Water City: Latias and Latios".

Aisha didn't know what the triggering conditions for this additional reward were. Maybe it was because her relationship with Latias was so good?

All in all, being able to get a Level 2 God Mega Evolution Stone for free was definitely a good thing for him, so he didn't delve into it.

But he didn't expect that the Mega Evolution Stone, which he thought would take some time to cultivate the relationship before it could be used, would now glow!

"Is that... the reason I just said Latias and I are family?"

Aisha understood something.

The hard condition for Mega evolution is that you must gather the Mega Evolution Stone for Pokémon and the Key Stone that the trainer carries.

But these two things alone are not enough. There must also be a mutual understanding and deep bond between Pokémon and their trainers.

That's why Aisha didn't give it Latias's Mega Evolution Stone directly.

But I didn't expect that Latias would be so easy to deal with...

The speed of this heart-to-heart talk is even faster than that of Black Jeanne from Chaldea next door!

"What's this?"

Latias looked at the glittering Mega Evolution Stone with curiosity, and a hint of desire involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

Although I don’t know what this is.

But it instinctively realized that this was something very important to it.

"This is the gift I prepared for you."

Seeing Latias's desire at a glance, Aisha smiled and handed Latias's Mega Evolution Stone to the original owner.

Although I can't experience the strength of the Heart Drop Latias.

But Mega Latias is also good!

"Eh?"

Hearing Aisha's words, Latias looked up in surprise.

"Really? Is this really a gift for me?"

"Well, really."

Aisha smiled and, feeling happy about Latias's cute reaction, handed her the Mega Evolution Stone.

"Take it."

"Great, thank you Ai Xia Xia~"

Saying the cute nickname like a girl's coquettish words, Latias happily took the Mega Evolution Stone from Aisha's hand.

Holding it in the palm of his hand, Latias' eyes lit up, and he couldn't let go of the purple gem that shone with bright light.

"I heard that dragons like shiny things, and dragon-type Pokémon are no exception."

Aisha recalled some legends about the "dragon", and when she saw Latias's performance, she couldn't help but reveal a helpless expression.

"I wonder if Kabutosaurus will also have this hobby after evolving into Dragonite?"

Kabutosaurus: "......"

Hearing Aisha's mumbling, the Kabutosaurus in the Poké Ball showed a guilty expression.

In fact, it has become interested in various gemstones and metals during this period...

"Hey~"

Latias was still playing with his own Mega Evolution Stone with a smile on his face.

Aisha looked at it and felt a surge of heat in her heart.

"I wonder how strong Latias will be after Mega Evolving..."

He muttered to himself, feeling a little itchy.

"I wonder when I'll be able to meet an opponent strong enough for me to use Latias?"

Aixia didn't expect that the opponent he was looking forward to would come so quickly...

It was in the afternoon. After Aisha and Latias had toured the commercial streets of Yuzu City under the guidance of Rotom, they sat down in an empty park to rest.

A blue figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the park and looked at the two of them.

"..."

Aisha was shocked when she looked into its eyes.

It has a wolf-like appearance, a gem on its forehead, and two ribbon-like tails.

The person who came was none other than Suicune from the Ho-oh Guard!

"Roar!"

"Roar......"

But it wasn't over yet, two other figures, Yan Di and Lei Gong, also appeared beside Suicune, staring straight at Aisha.
