I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

At this time, Homiga sighed.

The girl rubbed her aching brow, looking tired.

"Really, what a hassle."

"what happened?"

Nancy looked at her.

She was in a good mood today, so she didn't mind giving some care and kindness to the little girl who allowed her to hear Aisha's music.

"what......"

Hearing Naz's concern, Homiga felt a little conflicted, as if he was wondering whether he should tell her what was on his mind.

It wasn't until Aisha's gaze turned over that she gave a wry smile.

"Well, I don't know how to put it... You heard the argument between me and my father before the concert, right?"

"Ah."

Aisha crossed her arms and nodded.

"He pissed you off so much he called you eight idiots in one breath."

"Why do you care about that weird stuff?"

Homiga scratched his head, feeling a little overwhelmed by Aisha's words.

But the girl's expression brightened slightly because of Aisha's joke.

Seeing this, Aisha and Naz smiled at each other.

Homiga: "?"

Homiga always felt like he had eaten a mouthful of dog food.

But the two people in front of me don’t seem to be a couple, right?

Aren't couples allowed to feed each other dog food these days?

What a world!

"what......"

Homiga's anger suddenly disappeared.

She groaned a few times, wanting to cry but unable to, and said, "You've heard what happened. My father has lost his mind. He gave up his stable job as a captain and insisted on coming here to be a movie star. I don't know which wicked person tricked him into it. Anyway, he's been like a madman lately. No matter how I try to persuade him, it won't work. Instead, he says, 'Homiga, you're a gym leader and a rock musician, why can't I, your dad, be a movie star?' It really makes me angry!"

As he spoke, Homiga's tone became irritable again.

She scratched her white hair irritably, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

"but......"

Without waiting for Aisha and Naz to say anything, Homiga turned off the engine again.

She lowered her head and stammered as if she wanted to talk to someone.

"I don't actually think he's not doing his job properly. Over the years, my income from being a gym leader and touring performances has been enough to support him in his old age. If he really doesn't want to be a captain anymore and wants to take it easy, I fully support him and can also afford the financial implications."

"Ah." Homiga shook his head.

Aisha sighed softly.

He finally saw it.

This girl has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

She looks like a bad rock girl, but she is actually gentler than anyone else.

"So, what are you worried about?"

Nancy tilted her head and asked Homiga.

Looking at Homiga, her eyes were also somewhat moved.

Homiga is not very old, but he is able to achieve such achievements in rock music besides being a gym leader.

Her efforts speak for themselves.

Behind the glory lies hard work and sweat that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Such a precocious girl reminded Naz of herself in the past.

"Of course, the things I'm worried about are also very simple..."

Homija spread his hands and said, "Ms. Naz, you're also a movie star. You know how difficult it is to make it in this industry. Even young people with formal training have to go through a lot of trials and tribulations before they can make it. Let alone a middle-aged man who just changed his career and has no professional qualities. He has no acting skills and no good looks. I can't help him with any connections. If he goes to make a movie, what other result will he get other than a beating?"

"so."

Aisha smiled, walked closer, and put her hand on Homiga's thin shoulder.

"You're afraid of the blow your father will suffer if he fails, right?"

"Um......"

Homiga lowered his head and stammered a response.

"He's so old, I'm really worried he can't handle the blow."

"What a gentle child."

Aisha sighed softly.

"But, my Lord, you are not as fragile as you think."

"Eh?"

After hearing what Aisha said, Homiga raised his head, with a hint of crystal in his blue eyes.

This kid is really not as strong as he looks.

"Your father was a captain." Aisha smiled and patted Homiga's shoulder, saying, "No one is braver than a captain."

"Faced with a turbulent, unpredictable sea that could unleash a monstrous wave at any moment, your father was able to bravely face it and continue to brave the waves until today. Compared to all this, the blow he suffered after the film's failure is simply insignificant. Anyway, I don't believe that a brave captain would be devastated by such a small setback."

"..."

"so."

Looking at the silent Homiga, Aisha continued to smile and said, "Why don't you try to trust your father?"

"Even if I don't believe he can become a big star, at least I believe he won't be crushed by setbacks..."

"Sure enough, Coach Ai doesn't believe Dad can make it."

"Why do you care about something so strange..."

"Hehe~"

Homiga smiled mischievously and easily brushed off this heavy topic.

However, after a long silence, she breathed a sigh of relief.

With a smile on his face, Homiga cast a kind look at Aisha.

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

"It was just a casual remark."

Homiga looked up at the bright moon.

"I suddenly feel a lot more relaxed. Has anyone ever told Coach Ai that you're really suited to being a teacher?"

“Someone actually said that.”

Aisha shrugged.

"But they are attracted by my knowledge, not my eloquence."

"Tsk."

Homiga smacked his lips.

"If someone else said that, I would have criticized him a long time ago, but you are the only one who said that and I can't refute it."

Homiga doesn't like people who brag, but Aisha is really awesome.

Tactical master, champion-level trainer, these titles allow Aisha to justify this self-boasting.

"Come to think of it, I'm a long-time fan of Coach Ai. I've been following you since the 'Poison Guard Substitute' days."

Homiga chuckled at Aisha and said, "I've also learned how to become a team player. It feels great to dirty someone to death!"

"..."

Nazhi held her forehead.

Thinking back to the usage of 'Poison Guard Substitute' and the Transformation Team, she suddenly felt that Homiga was not cute anymore.

"Oh!"

As soon as the dirty tricks were mentioned, Aisha also became interested.

"Indeed, the poison-type Pokémon you are good at are indeed very suitable for the use of these two tactics."

"Well, my stinky slime has mastered shrinking to perfection!"

"Hey."

Aisha shook her head.

"Honestly, whether it's 'Poison Guard Substitute' or the Transformation Team, they're both the most basic in terms of dirty tricks."

"what?"

Homiga was shocked.

"Even being so dirty is just the basics. Damn, how terrifying are the real dirty tricks..."

Aixia chuckled and said, "Girl, have you heard of 'Bird's Egg Flower Machine Swamp Steel'?"

Homiga: "?"

"what?"

Aisha's confusing and meaningless words made Homiga have a big question mark in his head.

Aixia smiled mysteriously and said, "You won't understand even if I tell you right now. Anyway, you will understand later."

"Ahhh, why are you keeping us in suspense? That's too much!"

Homiga started to make a fuss, scratching his hair.

Aisha knocked Homiga's head casually, which made her dizzy and unable to continue making trouble.

"So, do you want to fight?"

"Eh?"

Shaking his head, Homiga looked puzzled.

"Battle?"

"I was planning on challenging the Ritsuyong Gym this afternoon, but you weren't there. Didn't you say you were annoyed?"

Aixia smiled and said, "How about a fight to let off some steam?"

"Coach Ai, you're really my type..."

Homiga said something that shocked Naz.

The girl's demeanor suddenly changed.

If Homiga just now was the little girl next door, now the temperament of a powerful trainer is beyond words.

The gym leader of Liyong Gym gave the challenger a fearless smile and said, "I accept your challenge!"

"You guys are really..."

Nancy sighed.

"Please ask Miss Nazi to be the referee." Homiga stuck out his tongue mischievously.

"It's too late to go back to the gym now. Why don't we find a place to fight here?"

"Ah."
