I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Although she had an embarrassed smile on her face, Sakura was actually already wailing in her heart.

"You've arrived just in time."

Aisha didn't pay attention to Sakura's little action.

He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "My car will be leaving tonight in a few hours. Thank you for your hospitality these past two days."

Aisha told Sakura about her schedule.

Although the two of them didn't spend much time together.

However, whether it was watching the ballet in the VIP seats of the Yuushu Dance Hall last night, or going to the top of the Bell Tower this morning to watch the dancers perform a sacrificial dance for the Phoenix King, it was all thanks to the cherry blossoms.

So Aisha was very grateful to her.

"If you need me in the future, I will definitely help you with all my strength as long as I can!"

Aisha patted her chest and promised Sakura.

"Then I've really done myself a great favor."

At this time, Sakura, who had calmed down, also smiled and continued Aisha's words, saying: "To be able to have a champion-level trainer give me all his help..."

As Sakura said this, she began to think in her mind about the success rate of Aisha agreeing if she directly asked "Marry me".

"Forget it." After thinking about it, Sakura gave up.

It's not that she doesn't want to be straightforward, it's just that the relationship between the two of them is not very close now.

Hitting the ball straight rashly may not only not work, but may even backfire.

not to mention......

She was not as thick-skinned as Lihua, who could not shamelessly say such shameless and intimate words to someone she had just met for a short time.

and so.

"Next time there's an important performance at the dance hall, please come and watch it!"

Sakura smiled and uttered the promised words.

A perfect breeze blew, and the maple tree in front of the dance floor rustled. The fiery red maple leaves floated in the wind to an unknown destination in the distance.

Just like the little thoughts that a girl is too shy to speak out...

"Ah."

Aisha nodded, the smile on her face still gentle.

"Yes, it's an appointment!"

"Well, it's an appointment!"

"So if I'm driving at night, do you, as my host, have to treat me to dinner?"

"Ah, but I spent all my money on cosmetics this month. How about Coach Ai treat me? I'll treat you next time you come over."

"also?"

"Great! I've been craving that restaurant in the south of the city for ages, but it's so expensive I just can't bring myself to go. Someone's treating me today, so I'm going to eat my fill!"

......

Sakura really wasn't bragging.

That night, she dragged Aixia to the restaurant in the south of the city that she had her eyes on and had a big meal.

Looking at the table full of empty plates and bowls, and the bill handed over by the waiter, Aisha looked at Sakura and fell into deep thought.

"Looks like I'll have to come over again to ask you to invite me back?"

Aisha tilted her head.

"Hey~"

Sakura sticks out her tongue and gets away with it by being cute.

Unexpectedly!

This is her strategy route!

Don’t worry about anything else, just make sure that after this separation, we can see each other again in the future!

"Hehe~" Sakura smiled happily as she touched her round belly that was filled with food.

The plan goes through!

After dinner, it was time for Aisha and Latias to get in the car.

Sakura, who had eaten with Aisha for free, naturally followed them to the station to see them off.

"Be sure to come back to me later and get some food, Coach Ai!"

Standing on the platform of the station, Sakura said this with a smile.

"must!"

Aisha gritted her teeth.

"I have to get your meal back!"

"Hahahahaha!"

There was a pleasant air on the platform.

Then it was time to say goodbye.

"Buzz!"

Aisha and Latias got on the train, and the maglev train started at the specified time.

As the train pulled out of the station, Aisha could still see Sakura waving at him and Latias on the platform.

"So, goodbye."

Aixia murmured her goodbyes to herself, watching the scenery outside the window change from the station to Yuanzhu City, and then to the forest outside the city.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and its cold moonlight illuminates the forest.

Behind them were the bright lights that gradually faded away.

......

The next morning, the maglev train stopped at the station in Wakaba Town as scheduled.

Aisha and Latias got out of the car.

Because they didn't need to carry luggage, the two of them stood out among the busy group of passengers.

And Aisha did see Yin, who came to pick him up and invited him over, on the platform of the station.

The boy was still dressed in black and had red hair, and the expression on his face was always that unchanging cold.

Next to him stood Ajin, who looked ruffian and smiling.

Um......

The classic combination of mindless and unhappy.

"Yin, Jin!"

Aisha waved to the two people over there, then quickened her pace and walked over.

"Coach Ai."

Seeing Aisha, Yin forced a smile on his icy face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

He walked towards Aisha amid Ajin's complaints of "Hey, hey, hey, why don't you smile at me?"

Then, without waiting for Aixia to speak, he said something that stunned him.

"Coach Ai, have you heard of the Ether Foundation?"

Chapter 554: The Aether Foundation's Purpose and Battle

"The Ether Foundation?"

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar term, Aixia was a little confused for a moment.

"Ah."

Silver nodded.

"heard about it......"

Aisha showed a strange expression. She responded to Yin's question but her mind was full of random thoughts.

Ethereum Foundation...

This organization was active in the seventh generation, namely "Pokémon: Sun/Moon" and "Pokémon: Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon".

In reality, it is a large organization that plays an important role in the Alola region.

Its status in the Alola region is equivalent to that of the Rainbow Rocket Team in the Kanto region, and it possesses very strong financial resources and social influence.

Previously, when Aisha followed Professor Oak to a scientific seminar held in Miare City in the Kalos region, she had heard about the Ether Foundation at the seminar.

Today's Ether Foundation is similar to the Rainbow Rocket Team. Both are engaged in various businesses in their respective areas of station, expanding their influence around the world, while relying on the accumulated financial resources to develop various technologies and conduct various research and experiments.

However, the Rainbow Rocket Team and the Aether Foundation, one mainly develops in the Kanto region and the Johto region, and the other mainly develops in the Alola region, should have no connection at all.

The latter is not like Fradili's Flare Team, which competes with the Rainbow Rocket in the Kalos region...

Why did Yin suddenly find himself to ask questions about the Ether Foundation?

Could it be that Boss Sakaki has become interested in Team Rainbow Rocket's presence in the Alola region, and has begun collecting intelligence on the imaginary enemy, the Aether Foundation?

"Hey~"

Aixia felt that her guess made sense.

Boss Sakaki has always been very ambitious.

The Rainbow Rocket Team has been developing at full speed since its establishment, almost standing on the shoulders of the giant of the old Rocket Team to find a new way out.

Today, it is not only a household name in the Kanto region and Johto region, which serve as its base camps, but it has also gradually gained considerable influence in regions such as Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos, and is poised to become famous all over the world.

With the organization's rapid growth, it's only logical that leader Sakaki would want to capitalize on this momentum and expand the organization's influence into the previously untouched Alola region...

Rather, Aisha would be surprised if Sakaki simply gave up and stopped expanding the influence of Team Rainbow Rocket.

Boss Sakaki is not that kind of coward!

The original Team Rocket was the dark emperor that ruled the underground world of Kanto and Johto.

Being able to achieve this level, his courage and means are evident...

Sakaki is the kind of person who dares to think and act, and his ability is even worthy of his vision and ambition.

Not to mention the Alola region, even in the Galar region where the Marokomon Group led by President Ross is now the only dominant force, Aisha has no doubt that once Sakaki gets the chance, he will go and compete with President Ross.

This is the former Dark Emperor of Kanto and Johto regions, the current leader of the Rainbow Rocket Team, the strongest... uh, now the second strongest bug catcher in history, the gold content of Boss Sakaki!

“I’ve heard of it, but I’m not familiar with it…”

There were a lot of thoughts going on in his mind, but when Aisha opened his mouth he just added a simple sentence.

Although he knew the Ether Foundation very well, Aisha even knew the truth about the Ether Foundation's secret research that was unknown to the outside world.

However, in reality, he had never dealt with anyone from the Ether Foundation, and had never even met anyone from the Ether Foundation.

"Although I support Boss Sakaki and Team Rainbow Rocket bravely entering the Alola region to challenge the Aether Foundation, I really can't give you any information about the business war."

Having said this, Aisha shook her head with a helpless expression.

"what?"

I really like what Silver said.

Aisha's sudden words made Yin look stunned and bewildered.

The usually stern red-haired boy stood there for two seconds before realizing what Aisha meant, and then he showed a helpless expression.

"Coach Ai, where are you thinking about?"

"what?"
