284 My Support Group is Kanto's Elite Four
When Aisha's words came out, the crying Team Rocket trio stopped crying all of a sudden.
"What are you, what are you saying?"
"Not being bad guys and working together?"
"And collect bottle caps?"
A teary-eyed Jessie, Meowth, and James alternated their questions.
"It's not about the bottle caps, meow!"
"Stupid James is full of bottle caps!"
Jessie and Meowth immediately grabbed James by the neck.
The choking James fell to the ground, slapping the lawn.
"Help, help, I'm dying, ah..."
Jessie and Meowth let go of James as he reached the threshold of violent death.
James fell to the grass, gasping for breath.
"You two are trying to kill me, aren't you?"
Jessie and Meowth looked away.
Then James looked at Aisha in front of him.
"Eh?"
He was shocked, apparently recognizing Aisha as the fierce man who had knocked out Hunter J's Salamence with a single punch in Grampa Canyon.
"Search, Mr. Search Officer!"
James was trembling with fear by Aisha, said: "Big Brother search officer, we are good people, please, don't take us to jail!"
"No, I don't want to arrest you."
Aisha rubbed his brow with a headache.
He looked at the Team Rocket trio shaking like chaff in front of him, and sighed in his heart.
These three weren't really bad people.
They just ate the beatings of life, not wanting to be a good person, in the name of "bad guys", to comfort their dreams.
These three people are always yelling about capturing Pikachu, but not only have they never captured Pikachu, but they've acted as experience packs many times, accelerating Ash's growth.
They are not only not evil, not bad, instead their hearts were very good, kind, and beautiful.
This can be seen in the way James and Jessie treat their Pokémon.
Even Bewear, the "Bear God" of Alola, who is known as "Kapu1 Bear", is very fond of the three of them.
As their introductory line says, they are "cute and charming villains".
Once upon a time, when Aisha was watching anime, he loved these three idiots.
They were the best portrayal of the good-hearted but desperate people in Team Rocket...
"Hey."
Aisha sighed.
After eliminating the old Team Rocket's persistent problems, most of the new Team Rainbow Rocket were good people like the Team Rocket trio.
It wasn't easy to change these people's minds in a short period of time.
However, it would be a good thing to set an example for them.
The three Team Rocket trio in front of him are the perfect role models.
These three guys have never been able to catch Ash's Pikachu, but they're all-around greats at something other than "catching Pikachu".
Meowth's ability to translate is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Not to mention that these three guys' manufacturing level... from hot air balloons to robots, they can build anything in a fraction of the time.
What's scary is that they only spend a few days on their inventions at their stalls.
Aisha didn't know whether it was because they made too much money at the stall, or because these three guys were able to build a Gundam out of a pair of broken pieces of metal.
All he knew was that these three were the rare talents of Team Rainbow Rocket!
"Hey, why is this guy looking at us like that... I'm scared."
"I don't know."
"So handsome..."
James and Meowth were speechless as they looked at Jessie who was swooning over Aisha in front of them.
Over there, Aisha took out his own ID and gave it to them.
"Take a look at this, my identity is written on it."
"Oh, oh!"
James took the black card in a panic.
Meowth and Jessie moved over.
"Rainbow Rocket, Admin, Ai... Aisha?" The three of them read the words on the ID in unison.
"What the hell?"
James exclaimed with a surprised look on his face, saying, "I've never heard of our Team Rocket having a Admin in Dayan region!"
"So it's not Team Rocket but Team Rainbow Rocket meow!"
Meowth hurriedly squeezed James' neck.
The shrewd kitten glanced at Aisha and spoke his thoughts, saying, "Meowth see this little brother's temperament is extraordinary, his strength is also obvious to us, if it's really a black and white superstar it's not impossible meow!"
"So handsome..."
Meowth and James looked at Jessie and silently ignored her.
Aisha had also heard their whispers - his hearing was no joke.
He immediately dialed Giovanni's number.
The call was quickly answered.
"Hello?" Giovanni's low voice came out of the phone.
Aisha was on speakerphone, so Giovanni's voice reached Team Rocket's ears.
All of a sudden, Jessie, James and Meowth's eyes changed as they looked at him.
"Mr. Giovanni."
Aisha thought for a moment, and said, "Does our Team Rainbow Rocket have a three-person team, a man and a woman with a human-speaking Meowth?"
"Yes."
Giovanni directly responded to Aisha's question.
Aisha showed a surprised expression.
It seemed that Giovanni was very interested in the three guys.
"Well, I really appreciate their abilities, so I wonder if Mr. Giovanni would like to transfer them to my team?"
"No problem." Giovanni agreed to Aisha's words without hesitation.
"It's not a favor, you are also a Admin of our Team Rainbow Rocket, it's normal for you to have some of your own men and crew."
Giovanni paused and said: "Those three guys are a bit stupid and a bit off in terms of ability, but they are all good guys with good hearts."
"Don't send them on a mission to die."
"What are you talking about?" A question mark appeared on Instructor Ai's head.
"Do I look like a leader who would let people die?"
"No, just kidding." Giovanni's tone of voice changed for the better, obviously amused by teasing Aisha.
"If there's nothing else, I've got some work to do, and after that, I'll have Matori arrange for the three of them to have their files accessed."
Giovanni gave Aisha an affirmative answer, saying: "After that, those three idiots are your direct subordinates, you have direct management authority over them."
"Okay, thank you."
Giovanni hung up the phone.
Aisha then looked at the Team Rocket trio - these three were hugging each other and crying in pain.
"Giovanni boss actually still has us in his heart, wooo! I'm so touched. The idea of persisting in giving Pokémon to Giovanni is indeed not in vain!"
"With Boss Giovanni's thoughts and concerns, I'll work hard even if I'm not a bad guy meow~"
"Even though it's a bit annoying to have that melon skinned glasses girl manage our files, but now the three of us are getting ahead!"
Aisha: "..."
"Okay, stop crying."
At those words, Team Rocket trio... Oh, no, it's the Rainbow Rocket Trio now.
The Rainbow Rocket trio immediately put on bright smiles and looked at Aisha respectfully.
They could see that.
With a serious Admin documents, but also can directly contact Giovanni boss, this with their one-sided relationship with the Admin in Team Rainbow Rocket, at least is also Four Executives2, and Three Admin3 level of leadership!
If you hold this leg tightly, you will be rich and famous.
"A- Admin."
"Compliments are not necessary." Aisha waved his hand, said: "After today, you three follow me to do!"
"Do a good job, I have a mouthful of rice to eat, is absolutely no less than a mouthful of soup you drink, we enjoy the glory and wealth together!"
Aisha is very skillful in drawing up a pie.
Although only verbal commitment, Rainbow Rocket trio is listening to the face full of happiness.
Thinking back, the three of them used to live in the past.
In order to catch Pikachu, they ran around with the kids in the field all day long...
When he slept, the three of them also slept. When he got lost, the three of them also got lost.
Money was always tight, and sometimes the three of them couldn't even afford to eat...
Just remembering it makes the trio cry.
Aisha: "..."
He sighed, walked up, and patted the two man and cat on the shoulder.
"Okay, don't be sad, after today is a new life!"
"Admin..."
The trio was moved to tears, looking at Aisha in front of them.
This Admin seems to be really different, good-looking and gentle...
"Admin!" Jessie, who is a face-dog, took the lead.
She grabbed Aisha's hand.
"Admin, what's our job?"
"Setting up stalls."
"Huh?" Jessie froze.
She thought that the mission Aisha sent them on would be a more technical secret agent mission.
Like stealing each other's trade secrets...
"Heh." Aisha only laughed.
The three of you want to fight a business war?
We're Rainbow Rocket, not Power Rangers!
Just set up a booth.
"Ahem!" Aisha cleared his throat.
"Our mission is to change the evil image of the old Team Rocket in the minds of the people, so we're mainly in the white business, but... I have to say, nowadays the Team Rainbow Rocket is really too short of business talents, so I need you to set up stalls on top of the Indigo Plateau Conference in the next few days, make a big profit, and become a role model for all members of Team Rainbow Rocket to learn from, and bring out a good atmosphere!"
Aisha directly moved out of the entire organization, drew a big cake, listening to the trio froze.
"At that time, the three of you are the top elite of Team Rainbow Rocket, no matter who will have to watch your glorious deeds work!"
He extended his hand towards the trio, saying, "Do you have any confidence?"
"Ah..."
The trio froze.
As they looked at Aisha, the young man's beautiful smile seemed to have a magical power to attract people, and his words contained a fatal attraction, like a deep vortex.
However, his words were so desirable.
For a moment, looking at this good-looking boy, the trio seemed to see behind him a radiant ladder leading to heaven.
"Awesome..."
"Is this an angel, James?"
"No, this is a Admin meow~"
The trio instantly perked up, two hands and a cat's paw landed on Aisha's hand.
"Let's do it!"
"Admin, we'll be at your beck and call!"
"Please give us all the orders you want, Admin!"
Looking at these three people's smiles, Aisha's heart was also filled with emotion.
Now, the three of them were finally able to realize their talents.
This was definitely a powerful help to the new Team Rainbow Rocket!
"Hehe~" Aisha smiled and looked inside the window - Ash and Gary were tired of fighting and were resting together.
The conversation between the three cats outside the window didn't affect the "feelings" of this pair of rivals.
Aisha's comment was that they were too gay, and that they were like Steven and Wallace.
"Okay."
Greeting the trio, Aisha turned to leave.
"You three haven't eaten yet, right? I'll treat you to a meal, and by the way... I'll treat you to a meal, and by the way, I'll help you buy the equipment for the stall you're going to set up at Indigo Plateau in the next few days."
"What a great feeling!"
The happy trio shouted together as they hurriedly followed Aisha's footsteps.
...
Three days later, Indigo Plateau.
This is the headquarters of the highest organization of Pokémon, the Pokémon League.
On top of a verdant plateau stood a magnificent complex.
High-quality stone was used to create the spacious dark gray steps that led up the mountain path to the center of the League.
The Pokémon symbol of the League shone brightly under the sun.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, before the steps, the handsome young man looked up and saw a silver fire pit with a roaring flame at the top of the mountain.
"Is that the flame of Moltres?"
Narrowing his eyes, Aisha's gaze fell on the flames burning inside the fire bowl.
It was rumored that the silver fire pit at the Pokémon League's headquarters contained the flame of Moltres, the "Sacred Flame".
When the Indigo Plateau Conference is held, the participants pass the flame around to kick off the event.
"Well..."
Aisha looked at the Moltres' flame with an interested expression.
Since the Moltres' Flame had become the sacred flame of the Indigo Plateau Conference, it should be a treasured treasure in its own right.
So... I wonder what the difference is between this Sacred Flame and the Victory Flame given to you by the system?
Why don't you take the time to go to Victory Road after the Indigo Plateau Conference and meet Moltres himself?
"There should be a Moltres on Victory Road."
Instructor Ai, who had a thoughtful look on his face, looked towards the mountains in the distance - the large cave over there was Victory Road, a training ground where high-level wild Pokémon could be found everywhere.
"Indigo Plateau, I'm here!"
"Finally, finally..."
"Great, this is where the Indigo Plateau Conference will be held!"
While Aisha was figuring out how to pull wool over Moltres' eyes, many trainers came to his side.
They were all trainers who had collected eight badges, participants of the Indigo Plateau Conference.
After enduring countless obstacles and trials along the way, they finally gritted their teeth and stood at the bottom of this staircase.
Up there is the final battle of the journey.
The solemn League stood here, witnessing and recognizing the dreams and efforts of countless trainers.
As if to present a gift to these brave challengers, the warm and bright sunlight spread down on the dark gray steps.
The road ahead of them was bright...
The stage of the Indigo Plateau Conference was waiting for them at the top of the mountain.
"Let's go, let's go, I'll be the champion of the Indigo Plateau Conference!"
"Watch me take my Bug Pokémon to the top. Bug catchers have their dignity too!"
"I'll do my best to make this trip worthwhile!"
None of the trainers present could hold their breath, and all of them ran up the steps to the Indigo Plateau at the top of the mountain.
Including Aisha...
"Let's go."
With a smile on his face, Aisha followed the trainers around him and stepped onto the first step.
Running...
Run!
On both sides of the staircase that led to the top of the mountain, there were countless stone pillars.
Some of the pillars were carved with different patterns and shapes - if you looked closely enough, you could tell that the patterns on them were those of the gyms' emblems from all the gyms in the Kanto region.
The rest of the pillars are blank, waiting for new designs to be engraved on them when a new gym is established in the future.
When many trainers passed by these pillars, their eyes glittered with crystal light.
There was no other reason, it was a testament to their adventures and journeys this year.
The eight or more badges on their bodies, these small pieces of iron, carried the details of this journey.
But... This is no place for tears!
When you reach the stage of your dreams, the final battle of your journey, you should smile and play a good League game.
Only a smile is worthy of this wonderful journey.
Aisha saw the eight pairs of stone pillars she had collected at the top of the mountain.
Boulder Badge, Cascade Badge, Thunder Badge, Rainbow Badge, Marsh Badge, Soul Badge, Volcano Badge, and Earth Badge.
Pewter Gym, Cerulean Gym, Vermilion Gym, Celadon Gym, Saffron Gym, Fuchsia Gym, Cinnabar Gym, and Viridian Gym.
The eight most prestigious badges in the Kanto region, the eight gyms.
"Ha!"
Aisha laughed as he ran past the eight pairs of pillars.
With each pair, he was able to see what he'd experienced during that time.
This was his journey...
No.
"Uh-huh."
Aisha smiled as he saw all of his Poké balls hanging around his waist.
With the exception of the last born Ralts, all nine of his remaining resident Pokémon had participated in the Gym Challenge.
They have fought more or less frequently, but all of them have contributed to this journey!
The ladder is spacious only for humans.
If everyone released their Pokémon, hundreds of participants and thousands of Pokémon would have filled the stairs.
But... Even though the Pokémon were all inside the Pokémon Ball, Aisha felt that they were running along with her.
They were running with him on the final mountain of the journey.
This was his journey with them!
"Here it is!"
On the last step, Aisha was the first participant to reach the Indigo Plateau.
As if it was destiny, along with his appearance, brilliant fireworks rose into the sky just at the right time.
"Boom-!!" "Boom-!!" Boom-!!"
Continuous explosions resounded through the sky, and colorful light illuminated his face.
Unconsciously revealing a smile, Aisha looked at the sky, his eyes reflecting the brilliant light.
The trainers behind him did the same, and all of them had genuine smiles on their faces.
"Screech!"
With the chirping of raptors, flocks of colorful Pidgeot, Pidgeotto, and Pidgey took to the sky.
This announced the opening of the Indigo Plateau Conference!
"Ding!"
Aisha's cell phone beeped.
He opened his cell phone and saw a lot of messages on the online page.
These were all messages from his friends, who had already known that he had arrived at Indigo Plateau, and had sent messages of congratulations and encouragement.
"Eh?"
Aisha looked around in confusion and realized that there were several cameras pointed at the stairs.
It seemed that the image of him being the first to climb the Indigo Plateau had been broadcasted live by these cameras, and was reflected in the eyes of viewers all over the world.
"This is really... too high profile." Aisha shook his head helplessly.
However, nowadays, he didn't hate high profile.
"Uh-huh."
Aisha walked towards the registration office while replying to everyone's messages.
Among them, a few messages caught his attention.
[Not Flying But Dragon-type Elite Four: Instructor Ai, you're here, right? I'm in the arena. The people in charge of this Indigo Plateau Conference are Mr. Goodshow and me. We're a little busy at the moment, but when it's your turn to fight, I'm sure I can be there when it's your turn to fight, so if you have any questions, contact me directly!]
[Ice Beauty Doesn't Need a Significant Other: Ai-chan~ sister will go to Indigo Plateau soon, remember to leave a door open for her tonight!]
[Soul of Strength: hahahah, Akun, please show me your strength at the Indigo Plateau Conference!]
[Aga: Young man, beat everyone properly, don't be like that weak old man Oak...]
[The Cool and Explosive Young Master Blue: Ai-kun, that Red guy is looking for you, don't pay any attention to him, meet me first!]
[Fighter: Go for it, I'll be there to cheer you on in the finals.]
"Ah..."
After quickly going through the messages a few times, Aisha showed a strange expression.
Congratulations from the Kanto Elite Four and the two champions...
My support team seems to be a bit heavy?
