I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

I can never repay your kindness.

From now on, I will train harder, practice diligently, and do my best to earn endless glory for you!

"hehe......"

Adek was smiling bitterly.

Looking at Aisha and Martial Arts Master Xiong who were smiling brightly, he shook his head, feeling very emotional.

“Young people are so energetic.”

Aixia is a young man, and Martial Arts Master Xiong is also a young man.

He and the old builder were both old and frail.

"but......"

His eyes suddenly brightened as he fixed his sight on the back of the old builder, who remained standing firm despite being defeated.

“Even old bones can have their blood boiling.”

Recalling the time when he had commanded the old construction worker to use close combat, Adek couldn't help but tremble.

Trembling with excitement...

In a trance, he seemed to recall the time when he and the old builder were in their prime, when they were full of passion and courage.

That kind of self is the real self!

"I have been really unbelievable these years..."

Shaking his head, Adek was ashamed of his own poor performance.

Cheers lingered in my ears.

Even though he lost, the audience still sincerely called out his name and the name of the old builder.

Adek remembered what Aisha said before the battle began.

"People will never forget the deeds of heroes. Your contributions to the United States and the help you gave to the people will always be remembered."

Adek muttered to himself, repeating what Aisha said.

that is the truth.

Even though Adek did not stand up when Team Plasma ravaged the Unova region, his image is still lofty in people's hearts.

Even though Adek lost to Aisha today, the boiling passion of him and the old builder still made people cheer for them.

"I understand."

With his eyes lowered, Adek hid the emotions surging in his eyes.

He smiled helplessly.

"I didn't expect that even an old man like me would be lectured by young people..."

When he raised his head, Adek's face was filled with a heartless smile.

"Hahahahaha!"

He laughed heartily, his laughter still as magical as before, without a trace of gloom.

"It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead... Is that what the old saying in the Great Yan region says?"

Adek scratched his head.

"Forget it, never mind!"

He shook his head, gave up thinking, and said: "In short, Brother Ai, you and your Pokémon are really too powerful!"

"My old bones are really defeated by you."

He spread his hands and sighed in mock distress.

"Ah~ It seems that my practice is still not enough."

"Oh?"

After hearing these words, Aixia looked at him in surprise.

"you mean......"

"Ha ha!"

Adek smiled and walked towards the old builder.

Standing beside his partner, he looked at the old builder with his eyes closed with complicated eyes, then took out the Poké Ball and took it back.

"Takumi..."

At the last moment when the old builder entered the Poké Ball, Adek seemed to hear its voice.

It was a voice full of joy and relief.

"what."

Adek gave a wry smile.

"Really, I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry..."

At the same time, Aisha also passed Master Wudao Xiong and came to Adek, looking at him in surprise.

"I'm ready to return to the Unova Alliance!"

Putting his arm around Aisha's shoulders, Adek laughed and told Aisha his thoughts.

"Have you decided yet?"

Aisha asked him.

"Ah."

Holding Aisha in his arms, Adek carefully scanned every corner of the venue.

He memorized the appearance of every spectator who cheered his name and the name of the old builder.

Then Adek smiled.

"After all, I can't let everyone down again..."

Even a hero in his twilight years still has his own pride.

It is better to say that it is precisely because of his age that Adek is more able to understand the warmth and coldness of human nature.

He was not blamed for his inaction.

But Adek himself could not forgive himself for playing so badly.

He undoubtedly let down all those who expected of him.

so......

Even if it is to repay everyone's expectations.

Even if it's just to reassure everyone.

He must cheer up too!

"I see."

Understanding what Adek meant, Aisha laughed with him.

"Then I wish you all the best!"

"Thank you for your good wishes~ Thank you for your good wishes~ Hahahahaha!"

Adek laughed heartily.

Even though the body ages, the spirit never decays.

Even in his sixties, Adek is still the passionate man he used to be.

His soul and blood are still boiling, just waiting for the day when they boil again.

Today's battle with Aisha completely awakened the sleeping lion in Adek's heart.

Awakening and all that…it was already done decades ago, the day he became champion.

Now, he has simply regained the fighting spirit and awareness of his youth, and once again shouldered the responsibility of being the champion of the United States.

"Please believe me, everyone..."

Adek's eyes moved around the conference hall, and then he looked up at the blue sky and muttered to himself.

"I will definitely restore the Unova region to its former glory!"

"..."

After hearing Adek's mumbling, Aisha didn't say anything, but just smiled.

"Click, click", the flash kept flashing, and a photographer took a picture of this scene.

Two champion-level trainers are in the same frame, one old and the other young. They represent the old generation of trainers who have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, and the new generation of trainers who are gradually emerging and creating their own stories. This is the intersection of two eras.

Countless viewers who witnessed this scene lamented the passing of time.

Some of the older generation who have admired Adek since childhood and are now married with children, or even have grandchildren, were in tears.

Once upon a time, they were also young people with high morale and high spirits.

But the knife of time has carved them into an appearance that does not match their dreams.

No need to regret.

There's no need to be sad.

Because the next generation of young people who are full of fighting spirit and high spirits will still take over their dreams and continue to embark on the road of pursuing their ideals.

The older generation who leave the stage of history will leave their own will in their hearts.

This is the bond of power that humans possess.

It is not blood, but the inheritance of intellect and the chain of life!

Then, the award ceremony began.

Aisha stepped onto the championship podium amid the cheers of the audience.

"So cool, Coach Ai!"

"I originally thought Coach Ai was just here to fry fish eggs, but I didn't expect him to fry Adek as well. I'd call him the god of frying fish."

"Winning the Youth Cup is nothing compared to winning the championship. Coach Ai defeated the champion right after frying the fish eggs. Who dares to question the value of his championship?"

"Coach Ai, you are my God!"

Under everyone's gaze, Aisha accepted the trophy handed to him by Adek.

He smiled and raised the trophy.

The golden trophy sparkles brightly under the sunlight, and it is very heavy to hold.

It can be seen that the organizers have invested a lot of money this time, and the trophy awarded to the champion is not gold-plated.

"..."

Adek's eyelids twitched.

This time, even he needed two hands to lift the trophy.

As a result, Aisha looked effortless, as if she was lifting a plastic cup, and she lifted the trophy with just one hand.

"Hey, young man..."

With a sigh, Adek went to the side and shut himself in.

"I can't enjoy the award ceremony alone."
