I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Kaluni murmured to herself.

......

The end of the finals does not mean the end of the World Championship.

The battle between Aisha and Kaluni only decided the champion and runner-up of this competition, but the third place winner still had to be decided in a battle.

The two teams competing for third place are naturally the other two contestants in the top four who both lost in the semi-finals, Naz and Pakila.

Their match started after the finals, and the rules of the match were also six vs. six, so it attracted many viewers to stay and watch.

The Kanto region's psychic attribute gym leader versus the Kalos region's Fire attribute Four Heavenly Kings, this title is also quite eye-catching.

It’s hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker between the two.

After all, although Pakira is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she should be much stronger than the gym leader.

However, trainers in the Kanto region can never be measured by common sense, otherwise there would not be a saying that the average gym owner in the Kanto region is at the top level.

In addition, Nancy's record against Aisha in the semi-finals was also not bad, so her supporters and Pakira's supporters are 4:6.

And that's exactly what happened.

The winner of this battle is Naz.

Although she and Mega Alakaza were suppressed by Aisha in the semi-finals, they lost miserably.

However, Pakira is not a psychic, and without the support of psychic legendary Pokémon, he is no match for her at full power.

Nancy sent out Alakazam from the very beginning of the battle, and after Mega evolving it, she established a psychic link with it. With the double enhancement, she directly took down Pakira's Cinderella, and then defeated her Crystal Lamp and Flamehawk with lightning speed.

Afterwards, Daruma Baboon, Flame Fox and Infernape were also dealt with by Nancy using Slowpoke, Skullbird and Solebee one after another.

At the cost of losing three Pokémon and seriously injuring Mega Alakazam, Nancy defeated Pakira and became the third place in this World Championship.

Amid the cheers of the audience, she left the contestant channel with an expressionless face.

After all, she came to participate in the World Championships to see Aisha again. Now that this goal has been achieved, she has no interest in the competition anymore.

She came here to defeat Pakila simply because Aisha had run off somewhere and she was bored.

"So weak."

Just before leaving the battlefield, Nancy turned around to look at the red-haired woman who was still standing on the field and made a sharp comment without mercy.

When Pakira noticed her gaze, she smiled helplessly and put the Infernape, which had lost its ability to fight, back into the Poké Ball.

After two consecutive defeats, she didn't even get the third place, which was more or less a blow to her.

But it doesn’t matter.

"Next, I can concentrate on working for Vladali."

Putting away Infernape's Poké Ball, Pakira looked at the cheering audiences from all directions with a sneer on her lips.

Yesterday, she spoke with Vladali again, who did not blame her for not defeating Kaluni, but assigned her a new task.

Now, Team Flare's top priority is to attack the Kalos Power Plant and steal enough energy to power the ultimate weapon.

But energy alone is not enough.

In order to activate the ultimate weapon, in addition to having enough electricity, Team Flare also needs to obtain the key to the ultimate weapon and the power of legendary Pokémon.

She didn't need to worry about the legendary Pokémon, so Vladali asked her to find a three-meter-tall homeless man, capture him and bring him back to the Flare Team's base, and get the key to the ultimate weapon from him.

Today, the World Championships ended, and tomorrow's award ceremony had nothing to do with him. Pakila could naturally leave Miare City to complete the task assigned to her by Fradili.

"Ah."

Wearing sunglasses, Pakila's eyes revealed a hint of sarcasm.

Once she captures the homeless man named AZ and obtains the key to the ultimate weapon, and the rest of Team Flare takes over the Kalos Power Plant and obtains the electricity they need, as well as the power of the two legendary Pokémon to drive the ultimate weapon, Fradili will be able to fulfill their common wish.

"Creating a wonderful world..."

Muttering to herself, Pakira's face showed a strong longing.

She shares the same philosophy as Vladali, and as a journalist, she has witnessed a lot of darkness and injustice over a long period of time.

Therefore, Pakira, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, joined Team Flare and obeyed Fradili's orders.

Now, they are not far from realizing their long-cherished wish, so Pakila naturally doesn't care about losing to Kaluni and Nancy in the competition.

"Humph."

With a cold snort, Pakila turned and walked into the contestant passage.

"Foolish people, just enjoy yourself for a while now. When Lord Vladari uses the ultimate weapon to purge this world, all of you worthless people will be finished..."

She mocked the innocent people who were unaware of Team Flash's plan, but she didn't know that everything, including her identity as a spy and Fradili's plan, had been told to Kaluni by Aisha, who had opened her clairvoyance.

"..."

In a private room in a coffee shop, Kaluni was silent. After listening to Aisha's story, there was a very strange expression on her face.

She wanted to pick up the coffee in front of her and take a sip, but found that her hands were shaking and she couldn't lift the cup at all, so she had to give up.

"You mean."

Kaluni's tone was complicated.

"Fladali was disgusted by some unruly people when he was doing charity work in his early years. So, he planned to use that ultimate weapon to kill all the evil people in the world and create a beautiful world where only good people he recognized existed..."

When she said the words "wonderful world", there was an indescribable tension in Kaluni's voice.

"Ah."

Aisha drank Coke and nodded.

"And Pakira is a member of Team Flare. Did she join Team Flare because she agreed with Vladari's philosophy?"

Kaluni asked again.

"Ah."

Aisha continued to nod.

"what......"

Kaluni raised her hand to support her forehead, feeling a little tired, and then lay down on the back of the chair, looking completely ungraceful.

She really doesn't care about her image anymore.

As the champion, and nominally the protector of the entire Kalos region, she showed great manners by not swearing in anger after she rashly learned that Vladali, who was always trying to make his presence felt in the upper-class circles, was actually an ultimate terrorist who planned to bomb the whole world with nuclear bombs, and that her subordinates were followers of this terrorist.

"Are they psychotic?"

Finally, Kaluni couldn't help herself and asked with a crazy expression.

"maybe."

Aisha nodded seriously at this.

indeed.

Looking at the villains in the orthodox Pokémon series, except for Sakaki who is only interested in making money, the others are all more or less a bit mentally ill.

Lusamine was in a similar situation, she was just led back to the right path by herself.

"Come to think of it, you should know Vladali too, right?"

Aisha finished the last sip of Coke, looked at Kaluni, and asked, "How is your relationship with him?"

"Not good."

Kaluni shook her head.

"I say I know him, but I'm not really that familiar with him. I've only seen him at a few celebrations for movies and TV series. I heard he's from one of the investors."

She rested her face on her hand, leaning on the table, and recounted the few times she had met Vladali.

"I had a good impression of him at first. After all, his labels—philanthropist, powerful trainer, business genius—were really impressive. But every time he chatted with me, he'd end up talking about eternity, the beautiful world, his own ideals, and other inexplicable things. At that time, I thought he wasn't normal, and I tried to keep my distance from him. But after hearing what you said today..."

At this point, a look of disgust appeared on Kaluni's face, and her tone became irritable.

"I didn't expect him to be such a psychopath..."

As if she wanted to vent all the depression in her heart in one breath, Kaluni spoke more and complained to Aisha about Vladali.

"You said we all climbed up from the bottom. You, me, and Mr. Red. Who hasn't seen a few bad people before? How come everyone else is fine, but he wants to drop a nuclear bomb and wipe out the whole world just because someone disgusted him?"

Kaluni's face was full of incomprehension.

"I guess he uses his own ideas to distinguish between good and bad people. He's completely insane. Who does he think he is? Is he a god who can punish the whole world?"

"Bro probably thinks he's Thanos."

Aisha spread his hands, not interested in exploring Vladali's thoughts.

After all, if he could understand the thoughts of a psychopath, then his symptoms would probably be very serious.

"The evaluation is not as good as Sakaki."

Chihong said softly beside him.

indeed.

Compared to this group of psychopaths, Sakaki, who only wants to make money and is only interested in legendary Pokémon to use the power of Deoxys to find his son, is indeed a breath of fresh air among the villains.

"There's no need to compare the worst."

Aisha shook her head.

Admittedly, everything Sakaki did had its reasons, and his intentions were good.

But it cannot be denied that when the old Team Rocket was led by him, everyone in Kanto and Johto regions was indeed suffering.

Now letting him use the Rainbow Rocket Team to do something beneficial to the country and the people can be considered as atonement for his past sins.

"Pakila is also a psychopath, eh..."

On the other side, after cursing Pakira for being a traitor, Kaluni sighed tiredly.

She used to be thankful for the peace in the Kalos region, thankful that there were no legendary Pokémon wreaking havoc here, and no criminal organizations causing trouble.

It turns out that everyone was secretly doing something big to her?

Haha, this is really fun.

"Thank you for telling me this, Coach Ai."

Rubbing her sore and swollen eyebrows with a tired look on her face, Kaluni thanked Aisha.

This is heartfelt.

There's no way, Vladali is hiding too well.

He uses his upper-class identity as a cover to do these little tricks in secret, and Pakira, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, provides him with cover.

Thanks to the help of Vladali, a boss who is very popular in the upper class circles, and Pachira, a journalist, the Flare Team has been able to thrive in the Kalos region over the years and everything they do has gone smoothly.

Likewise, for all these years, no one knew that Vladali was actually a terrorist who wanted to wipe out half of the world's population with a snap of his fingers, and the Flare Team was his minions.

If Aisha hadn't told her these things today, letting her know Vladali's true face and Pakila's betrayal, when things really happened, it would be difficult for her to stop Vladali by herself.

And if Vladali really activates the ultimate weapon, she will be the real sinner of all time...

"fine."

Aisha shook her head.

"Rather, it's enough for you to believe what I say."

Aisha also thought about what to do if Kaluni didn't believe what she said.

But fortunately, Kaluni is very smart and did not do anything that would make people's blood pressure soar.

"Abstract diode? He's a bit too extreme."

Covering her face with her hands, Kaluni hid her out-of-control expression and cursed Vladali and Pakila's ancestors in her heart.

"You don't have to worry too much."

Seeing her unacceptable look, Aixia also spoke to comfort her.

"Since I'm telling you the information, it means I'm on your side. When something happens, I'll come to help you as soon as possible."

After a pause, Aisha added.
