I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"This Caterpillar has been raised very well. You can tell at a glance that a lot of love and energy has been poured into training and caring for this Pokémon."

Looking at the green caterpillar on the video cover, it is at least one meter long. Both the pink tentacles on the top of the head and the green scales covered with scale powder are developed differently from those of its peers. Its watery eyes are also bright and lively. Even Xiao Huang couldn't help but praise it.

She herself is also the trainer of Butterfree and is very familiar with Pokémon like Caterpillar.

However, Aisha's caterpillar still gave her a sense of amazement - even when she, who possessed the 'power of Evergreen', was cultivating the caterpillar that had evolved into Butterfree, the child's development was obviously not as good as that of the host's caterpillar.

"Well, I started following Aisha because of his training videos."

Chihong also agreed with Xiaohuang's point of view without hesitation.

"Looking at the tactics Aisha shared in his livestream today, he seems to have trained a powerful Butterfree in his main team as a support." Rubbing his chin with his fingers, Chihong deduced the origins of the green caterpillar and said, "The child in the video is probably the offspring of the main Butterfree. He has good talent, so he's receiving Aisha's attention and training. He should be one of the main players on his second team in the future."

"Are you really using Butterfree as your main Pokémon... or two teams in a row?"

After hearing Chihong's inference, Xiao Huang couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

The girl obviously could not have expected that, apart from herself and several gym leaders who specialized in insect attributes, there was actually a trainer strong enough to "this level" who would adopt Butterfree as a member of the main team.

Logically speaking, most trainers of Aisha's age would be focused on pursuing powerful Pokémon, such as Quasi-Gods or the Starter Pokémon with strong race stats, and wouldn't pay much attention to weak Bug-type Pokémon, especially since his main team should already have a Butterfree...

“That’s what I admire about him.”

When it came to the topic of Aisha, Chihong seemed to be particularly energetic. He had always been a quiet talker, but today he broke his habit and spoke eloquently about his admiration for the anchor, so much so that Xiao Huang next to him felt a little jealous.

"Even Bug-type Pokémon, often considered 'weak' by the general public, have become powerful trainers, even developing ingenious tactics to compensate for the Pokémon's inherent shortcomings."

The more Red thought about it, the more surprised he became. His curiosity about Aisha gradually turned into admiration and anticipation, as if he were treating a formidable rival on equal terms. He said, "Aisha's understanding of his Pokémon is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He's a master of theory and tactics. Such a person would surely be no weakling in real life."

"Not only that, he also said he would continue to bring more methods for using 'weak' Pokémon. This clearly shows that he is a hero who intends to change the world's discrimination and prejudice against Bug-type Pokémon through his own efforts... At least to those Pokémon and the trainers who use them, Aisha is a hero."

Chihong also felt a lot of emotion.

Once upon a time, when he was still young, his several handheld Pokémon were seen by a friend who was good at breeding as "inferior" Pokémon with limited talents and doomed to have no future from birth.

However, Chihong is still Chihong.

Those so-called "inferior" Pokémon with limited talents also successfully shine in his hands.

They fought continuously with hard work, sweat and strong perseverance, following in Red's footsteps, and finally grew into powerful beings, defeating the "high-quality" Pokémon of that rival more than once.

Now, Aisha, who also broke the secular concepts and was even prepared to selflessly teach him the tactics and theories he had painstakingly studied, felt like a "confidant" in his eyes.

Chihong also remembered Aixia's heartfelt words before the live broadcast.

"'There are no useless Pokémon, only incompetent Trainers who fail to realize their potential'... That's a great quote."

Chihong obviously agreed with this statement.

"He has a really big vision. He's a real trainer."

"Good, awesome..."

Chihong's praise obviously surprised Xiaohuang who was standing next to him.

After all, even though they had known each other for a long time, Xiao Huang had never seen Red praise a trainer so generously. This was an honor that neither the 'trainer' nor the many 'pokedex owners' who came after them could enjoy.

"I made the right friend."

Gradually, the joyful smile faded and Chihong returned to his usual poker face.

However, the upturned corners of the 'Fighting Man's' mouth still revealed his inner joy.

"Afterwards, I'll introduce Qinglu to Aisha."

Thinking of his rival, Chihong believed that he and Aisha could definitely become friends.

"They're all trainers who specialize in Pokémon cultivation and theoretical tactics. The topics will definitely be more interesting. Maybe we can inspire each other and improve together..."

When Qinglu and Aisha knew nothing, Chihong, who was talking to himself, had already made "appropriate" arrangements for them.

Chapter 8: People and Pokémon

The next day, Aisha got up very early.

As a trainer who focuses on the all-round development of "wild fighting" and "combat", Aisha has strict requirements for himself. Physical exercise is naturally the most basic self-discipline, so even when he is on vacation, he has never stopped his daily morning exercises.

Exercising is a pleasurable activity.

"Whoo~"

After patting his face and washing up, Aisha also had a simple breakfast.

He quickly changed into light clothes and filled his stomach. Before going out, he prepared enough energy cubes and energy drinks and put them in the Caterpillar's bowl.

After the child wakes up, he will eat obediently and start to do exercises related to "finishing touches" and other aspects, so Aisha, as the owner, does not need to worry too much.

He's talented, self-disciplined, and seems to have inherited the green caterpillar's personality. He's a good kid that's hard to find even with a lantern...

So Aisha is actually very satisfied with the fact that her first Pokémon is Caterpillar.

The relationship between trainers and Pokémon is actually very simple.

Many times, as long as they are attracted to each other, they will be lifelong partners.

Pokémon are trainers... No, Pokémon are humans' best friends.

They are very pure and kind creatures. Although they have intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans, their minds are very simple and clean. Once they set their eyes on a person, even if that person may not treat them very well, these simple elves are willing to give their feelings and loyalty.

If a trainer truly treats his Pokémon sincerely, then in order to respond to this feeling, his Pokémon will definitely give a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times more sincerity.

"Goo!"

Standing on one side of the street, a flock of Spearows and Pridefults flew across the sky above Aisha's head, flapping their wings and flying towards the sun, gradually disappearing behind the white clouds and leaving his sight.

On both sides of the street, on the branches of the trees covered with lush leaves, live some bird Pokémon that do not join the migration. For example, the relatively gentle Pidgeot and Dove will choose to build their nests in these tall trees that never lose their leaves.

Occasionally, a few little Rattatas with cunning expressions ran by under the green belt, wondering where they were going to have a good meal that day.

There were several cats behind the alley, staring at them hungrily.

The walking grass with green leaves on its head would occasionally raise its face from the fertile soil and show a happy smile to the pedestrians passing by the flower bed.

Aisha smiled back and pinched the center of the walking grass leaf lightly and skillfully. The elf also showed a comfortable expression, and a tingling sound brewed in his mouth.

"Mi~"

Letting go of the leaves of the walking grass, Aisha trotted all the way to the gate of the park.

This is his favorite place for morning exercise, and it is also a place for children and the elderly to play.

“Wow——!!”

Under the small bridge, the delicately-mannered horned goldfish and king goldfish danced gracefully in the river, swimming along the slightly narrow artificial river channel towards the lake.

The cute Psyduck occasionally mistakes its family members and follows the school of fish with its round body swaying in a silly manner. However, due to its slow swimming speed, it cannot catch up with them, so in the end it is caught by the Gotha Duck that finds it by following the scent and takes it home.

Unfortunately, if the park had raised the chief swan from the Unova region, the scene would be even more dramatic...

Aixia stepped onto the bridge, and people passing by brushed past him.

Living in this world where humans and Pokémon coexist in harmony, both young and old people have their own Pokémon.

People and Pokémon together create a dreamlike picture.

"Whoo~"

An hour later, after finishing her usual morning exercise, Aisha, who was sweating all over, sat on a bench in the park, resting while looking at the people and Pokémon passing by.

Gradually more and more people came to the park.

It is graduation season now, so not only him, but most of the new generation of rookie trainers have also received their own partners.

Excited young people are generally keen to run around with their Pokémon, and parks with public training grounds are obviously a good place to go.

Before meeting the system, Aisha also liked to bring Caterpillar to the park to share her thoughts and experiences on raising Pokémon with everyone.

"what......"

Leaning on the bench, looking up at the clear sky, Aisha stretched lazily.

His pressure suddenly eased a lot.

Perhaps this is the gift that this world of humans and Pokémon has given to him, a Pokémon lover.

"Hey, how are you guys preparing for the 'Rookie Tournament'?"

"Ah, I'm not planning on competing for any ranking. I just need to work hard. Having fun is the most important thing."

"Then just watch me and mine win. We've been training hard for this 'Rookie Competition' for a while now!"

Nearby, a few people with Pokémon were discussing a newcomer competition.

The 'Rookie Tournament' is an entry-level competition for new trainers every year. Only recent graduates can participate with their registered initial Pokémon.

The difficulty is not high, but this type of competition involving new trainers is mostly reported by the media, which is a good stage for some trainers who like to show themselves.

It is an annual event with some influence.

Aisha actually signed up for this 'newcomer competition' at the beginning.

Because the 'Rookie Tournament' would begin in a month, Aisha was confident that she could evolve her Caterpillar into Butterfree within a month.

At that time, Butterfree, who had learned a series of useful skills, could easily slaughter a rookie in the primary competition under Aisha's command.

What operations can a new trainer who has only had Pokémon for a month use?

Batgirl might be considered a powerful character even in the 'Rookie Tournament'.

Aisha was absolutely sure of winning.

Then, the system appeared and disrupted his plan...

Even if there is time to participate in the competition normally later, Aisha probably won't be able to use the "Butterfree Hypnosis" tactic to torture these new trainers in the 'Rookie Competition', which is a pity.

"gone."

Standing up, Aisha also walked towards the park gate and started her journey home.

On the way home, he stopped by a shop that specialized in selling Pokémon merchandise and bought some insect, flying, and dragon-attribute food. The latter was so expensive that Aisha couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Being a trainer is indeed a very expensive profession.

However, the good news is that Aisha can completely rely on his own abilities to make energy blocks using tree fruits, thus saving a lot of costs. Aisha himself is a student studying in the breeding department and has successfully obtained the certificate of junior breeder in high school. The knowledge and operation of Pokémon diet are not a problem for him.

Besides, in addition to giving the Caterpillar a series of enhancements and issuing annoying tasks, this unlucky system of his is also helpful to Aisha herself.

[Foreign Language Level 3: You can master and use multiple languages ​​fluently, making daily communication a breeze and allowing you to pass exams with your eyes closed.]

Energy Cube Production Level 3: You can expertly use nutritious berries to craft high-quality Energy Cubes. Your in-depth understanding of Energy Cubes and berries allows you to avoid waste and misunderstandings. The quality of your Energy Cubes is sufficient to replenish Pokémon's energy.

These two skills are the rewards that Aisha obtains after completing the tasks of "Becoming a 10,000-Fan Anchor" and "Receive Initial Pokémon".

Because it was completed long ago, it can be said that it is a reward directly issued by the system when awakening.

The former allows Aisha to travel around to various regions without worrying about language barriers.

The latter provides Aisha with the confidence to cultivate caterpillars at low cost and with high resources.

Aisha's resentment towards the system subsided a little because of these skills... At least the essence of this system is indeed to help him become stronger, not just to issue tasks to make him feel uncomfortable.

"Hey, have you heard? There's a big disaster in the Hoenn region."

"Hey, I heard it was all that team, they had nothing better to do but expand... I don't know what they were up to, but now they've brought about this disaster."

"It's said that it was a giant green dragon that descended from the sky and drove away the two giant monsters. It was like a god. If it had always been there, there shouldn't have been any problems later."

When he walked near his home, Aixia heard the voices of several elderly people in the neighborhood talking about the recent news.

As a Flameman, the somewhat superstitious old man obviously has an unusual view of dragon-type Pokémon like Rayquaza, as if he has a special worship for it.

Suddenly, Aisha's smile became a little awkward.

These old people may not know what happened to Rayquaza that drove away Groudon and Kyogre that day...but as the person involved, he knows it very well.

god?

It was clearly me and the Caterpillar who were shot while lying down.

At this time, several elderly people also noticed Aixia and greeted her enthusiastically.

"Uh... ok, ok."

After responding to the old man's greeting with a forced smile, Aisha hurried back home.

Looking at Aisha's back, the old men perfectly demonstrated their abilities as MI6 officers and talked about things that even he himself didn't know.
