I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Beside him, Qinglu looked at Aixia with a puzzled look on his face.

Qinglu, who has been the Gym Leader of the Evergreen Gym for many years and also frequently goes on missions as the former champion, has developed extraordinary eyesight and could tell at a glance that AZ was unusual - of course, he could also tell from his three-meter-tall stature, so Qinglu was a little curious about this man's background.

But now that they were in public, he couldn't ask directly.

"Why are you so straightforward in accepting other people's challenges, but I have to make all kinds of excuses..."

Chihong didn't think too much about it. He just became withdrawn because Aisha accepted AZ's challenge.

"Well......"

On the other side, although Kaluni felt that it was inappropriate for a strange man to suddenly appear and challenge Aisha at this time, since Aisha agreed, she naturally had nothing to say, so she immediately arranged for security to clear a large area for the battle in front of the stage.

The masses also cooperated well.

After all, many of the people present were fans of Aisha, and there were also many new fans of Aisha.

I originally thought I was just here to watch an idol meeting, but I didn't expect to see Aisha's battle. Naturally, everyone cooperated and made room for me.

So, under the expectant and excited gazes of the crowd, Aisha walked down from the platform and took out Poké Balls together with AZ at the two ends of the venue.

"Aixia, the one favored by legend."

The cloudy eyes became clear, AZ lowered the brim of his hat, lowered his head, and looked at the black-haired boy in front of him with complicated eyes.

"Please let me know what a trainer is..."

After saying that, he suddenly threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

For a normal adult, a Poké Ball that can take up most of the palm when enlarged is just a small ball in his hand.

"Buzz!"

The light flickered, and the Poké Ball opened in the sky.

Along with a mechanical sound, a tall figure appeared in front of everyone.

It was a clay giant, an ancient robot made by ancient people using unknown methods, whose duty was to guard ancient relics.

This type of Pokémon has existed for a long time, but people still don't know what energy it uses to move.

This mysterious Pokémon is a perfect match for AZ's identity as the king of the Kalos region three thousand years ago.

"Then this is it for me."

Looking at this extremely tall clay giant, Aisha gently threw a Poké Ball.

Then, amid people's exclamations, a green figure that was incredibly small compared to the clay giant appeared in front of him.

It has green fur, a petite body, pink Y-shaped tentacles on its head, and big watery eyes.

The Pokémon sent out by Aisha was his original Pokémon, and was also recognized by Professor Oak himself. It was a powerful Pokémon that "although it has the same appearance as Caterpillar, it is essentially a completely different Pokémon. It is a branch evolution of Caterpillar, and its attributes have become dragon and flying."

When Xia Yi saw Aisha sending out the caterpillar on the stage, her eyelids twitched.

Beside her, Qinglu and Liliae also had very complicated expressions.

Others may not know, but those who have seen Aisha and the Caterpillar display their power know that this is not a Caterpillar, it is clearly Rayquaza in the skin of a Caterpillar!

Faced with AZ's challenge, they originally thought that Aisha would send out Dragonite and others to fight, but unexpectedly, Aisha directly threw out Rayquaza.

"However, once I think about the time he brought Rayquaza disguised as a caterpillar to the Quartz Conference, everything suddenly makes sense."

Standing on the stage, Xia Yi muttered to herself.

Hearing this, Qinglu and Liliae nodded in agreement.

indeed.

Taking a first-level god to the Quartz Conference, Aisha's value in frying fish is unquestionable.

And in the audience, AZ looked at Aisha's caterpillar with a complicated look.

He has been wandering for three thousand years and has traveled to every corner of the world. He can no longer be simply described as knowledgeable.

Having been to the Hoenn region and had interactions with the people of Glaze and Meteor, he naturally recognized the God of the Sky, Rayquaza.

only......

Although he could recognize it, when he actually saw Rayquaza disguised as a green caterpillar, following Aisha and fighting for him, AZ felt quite complicated, as if "are you fucking kidding me?"

Even if he racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out why the dignified God of the Sky would put aside his pride and willingly lower himself to follow Aisha as a mere green caterpillar. AZ could only attribute the answer to the question to the fact that Aisha was just too charming.

As a result, his mood became even more complicated.

The story that Lusamine read to Lillie was the real story of AZ.

He resurrected his beloved Hua Yeti and ended the war, but Hua Yeti eventually left him.

Because of the ultimate weapon, AZ gained infinite life, but he could not die and could only immerse himself in the pain and despair of Hua Yeti's departure all day long.

He wandered around, trying to find Hua Yeti, and in the process he repented and reflected on his actions.

Eventually, AZ realized his mistake.

At that time, in order to revive Flowery-Dee, he sacrificed the lives of countless innocent Pokémon and used their life force to activate the ultimate weapon.

However, the final weapon he created became indestructible and could not be destroyed by humans because it obtained the power of the legendary Xerneas and Yveltal.

This is also the reason why the AZ brothers knew that this thing was very dangerous, but in the end they could only bury it underground instead of destroying it.

Even that tiny key is a "magic weapon" that cannot be destroyed by human power.

Because of this, AZ always carries it with him, fearing that it will be snatched away.

But, as the saying goes, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

Ultimately, the weapon could not be destroyed. As the descendant of AZ's younger brother, Vladali finally learned of its existence and began to harbor evil intentions.

AZ, who had been wandering for three thousand years, was captured by Vladali. The ultimate weapon he once created, which had brought pain to the world, was about to become a tool for Vladali to realize his ambition.

AZ was very desperate at that time.

In the past three thousand years, he has not spent a single day in despair and self-blame.

He was well aware of the seriousness of the sin he had committed, and he carried the key to the ultimate weapon with him to prevent later generations from using it in order to atone for his sins.

However, because of Vladali, the disaster of three thousand years is about to happen again, and AZ, who is imprisoned in the Vladali Institute, has become extremely desperate.

He knew that if he allowed Vladali to successfully activate the ultimate weapon, then he, who had created the ultimate weapon, would be his accomplice.

Fortunately, Aisha appeared at the critical moment.

This young man, who was blessed by countless legends and shocked even the knowledgeable AZ speechless, came like a god, stopped Vladali's ambition, and even did what AZ and others could not do - he handled the ultimate weapon.

After coming out of Fradili's research institute, AZ asked the clay giant to take him to Shixiang Town.

There, he saw a scene that brought him to tears - the ultimate weapon that had been rooted in the land of Shixiang Town like a thorn in the flesh for three thousand years, unable to be removed or destroyed, had quietly disappeared.

Aisha not only stopped Vladali's plan and prevented the tragedy of three thousand years ago from happening again in the Kalos region, but also dealt with the legacy issues of the final weapon. No one will ever use the final weapon to do evil again, and AZ will no longer have to live in fear of the final weapon hurting others again.

It was at that moment that AZ suddenly felt relieved.

He was finally freed from that long journey of atonement...

"Caterpillar, use Storm!"

On the opposite side, Aisha gave the order to attack.

The Caterpillar jumped up and dodged the shadow fist of the clay giant, then a storm blew it into the sky, and when it fell down, it had lost its ability to fight.

AZ watched as the Clay Titan was easily killed by Caterpillar without any fluctuation in his heart. Amid the cheers of the crowd, he took back the defeated Clay Titan, threw out the second Poké Ball, and released a Cinderella.

"Coal Turtle, use fire breathing!"

In the sky, the sun was still as dazzling as ever, but it did not become larger or hotter due to the sunlight characteristics of the coal turtle.

AZ knew that this was the power of Rayquaza's Airlock feature, so he was not surprised and directly let Cinderella attack.

"Dragon Wave."

Aisha's tone was calm.

The next moment, the hot magma collided with the violent dragon energy. The former was instantly overwhelmed by the latter, and the coal turtle was also defeated instantly.

"..."

Silently, AZ took back the Coal Turtle that was also killed instantly, and looked up at Aisha.

AZ smiled silently at the black-haired boy who had a calm expression but exuded a strong fighting spirit and pure righteousness.

He had already understood that the ultimate weapon was something that should not appear in this world.

Although it resurrected its beloved Flowery-Die, it also brought indelible pain to the world, to innocent people and Pokémon.

And thanks to Aisha, the world is finally no longer threatened by the ultimate weapon.

AZ, burdened with the sin of the ultimate weapon, can finally relax...

"you."

Raising his head, AZ looked at the people standing on the stage, all of whom had contributed to the battle against Team Flare.

"He's much, much better than I was back then."

He spoke in a low voice, acknowledging the strength of the group.

This strength is not only reflected in strength, but also in other aspects.

In terms of power, AZ, who once possessed the ultimate weapon, was no less capable of ending wars than Aisha, who possessed the power of a first-level god.

But pure violence alone cannot solve the problem.

AZ messed up everything.

But Aisha and his companions took a completely different path from him.

"Even without the ultimate weapon, I believe the future will become better and better in your hands."

AZ's eyes sparkled with a brightness he hadn't seen in a long time, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he threw out the last Poké Ball.

His last Pokémon was the symbolic bird, but it was killed instantly by a thunderbolt from Caterpillar.

So, when the symbolic bird fell limply to the ground, AZ was defeated.

After he put the symbolic bird that had lost its combat ability back into the Poké Ball, he looked at Aisha with a smile.

"Thank you."

He thanked Aisha.

"Thank you for freeing me from the darkness of sin..."

"..."

Aisha didn't say anything, just shook her head.

He also felt sad about what happened to AZ, which is why he accepted AZ's challenge on such an important occasion today.

"That would be great if you could figure it out."

he said.

"So, so gentle..."

Looking at Aisha, AZ had a complicated expression.

He wondered if he could be as gentle as Aisha three thousand years ago, then Hua Yeti would not have left him...

The long-frozen heart ached again, and it seemed as if saline solution was about to overflow from the eyes. AZ couldn't help but look up at the sky.

But at this moment, he saw that figure...

Light blooms in the sky.

In response to AZ's thoughts, the familiar figure that reappeared before his eyes due to his change of mind was the blue figure holding the black and red flower.

Flower leaf pedicle......

The flower leaf that left AZ three thousand years ago when he went astray returned to him after AZ had a sudden enlightenment, holding the flower of eternity.

"Ah, ah..."

AZ opened his mouth and looked at the figure falling from the sky, the figure he had been thinking about day and night, and a beast-like sound came out of his mouth.

Three thousand years of travel, three thousand years of atonement, three thousand years of suffering and three thousand years of longing day and night...

The pain, sadness and despair that had been accumulating in AZ's heart finally erupted at the moment when he was relieved because of Hua Yeti's return.
