Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 222 Before the Tournament
Since leaving Raven City, Anna has been training outside.

As soon as the dojos in various locations officially opened for business, she began her dojo badge collecting journey.

Along the way, Anna met many people and experienced many things.

Besides her original partner Zoroark, she also caught many other Pokémon.

Warrior Eagle, Electric Monster, Duckbill Fire Dragon, Miss Skirt, Rogue Crocodile.

Furthermore, she has been training her Pokémon partners in the same way as Raven, and each Pokémon has grown to an extremely powerful level.

"Zoroark." Anna looked at her companion, a hopeful smile on her face. "Let's give our teacher a surprise!"

Twin Dragons City, Pokémon Flying Taxi Station.

The boy's tall figure walked through the crowd, his eyes resolute, his hand tightly gripping a dojo badge.

The last gym badge is now complete!

Next, we'll head to Raven City and wait for the grand finale to begin!

"Mother, I will definitely win and become a great trainer so you can live a good life!"

Derek gripped the dojo badge tightly, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

However, he had one more thing to do before setting off for Shuanglong City.

Derek arrived at the Pokémon Center in Twin Dragons City.

He handed the six red and white Poké Balls to Nurse Joy.

"Please wait a moment!"

Nurse Joy took the trainer's Poké Ball, placed it on a small cart, and then a Chansey pushed it backstage.

Backstage, Chansey exuded a gentle aura.

That was a move with a superpower attribute, Healing Wave.

The pink energy wave enveloped all six Poké Balls, continuously healing the injuries of the Pokémon inside.

A moment later.

Chansey pushed the cart back into the hall.

"Lucky~"

It happily handed the stroller to Miss Joey.

"Thank you for your hard work, Chansey!"

Miss Joy smiled gently and then handed the Poké Ball back to Derek.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Trainer! Your Pokémon have all recovered!"

"Thank you." Derek thanked Miss Joy, then turned his gaze to Miss Joy's assistant, the Pokémon named Chansey.

I've heard that this Pokémon has incredibly powerful healing abilities.

Carrying a lot of healing items while traveling in the wild is very inconvenient. If there were a Pokémon like this in the party, it might save a lot of healing items and time, Derek thought.

Unfortunately, such Pokémon often don't play a significant role in battles, far less so than fighting-type Pokémon like Lucario.

After his injuries were treated, Derek did not leave the Pokémon Center immediately.

He went to the backyard and threw all six Poké Balls into the sky.

"Everyone, come out!"

"Crack!"

With flashes of white light, Pokémon of various shapes and sizes appeared before Derek.

These Pokémon are all the companions he has caught along the way.

Riolu, which has evolved into Lucario

A strong and robust wrestling demon dressed in a white karate uniform.

Clad in armor and possessing a pair of enormous, axe-like teeth, the Haxorus; the Tundra Bear, capable of freezing the air and spitting out terrifying beams of ice.

A large and powerful dragon Pokémon, Reddra.

And the three-headed dragon with a ferocious nature.

At this moment, all six Pokémon are looking at their trainer.

Compared to the day he first received his starter Pokémon and set off on his journey, Derek is now much stronger and more upright, with many scars on his face and body.

These injuries are medals he earned while battling Pokémon during his travels.

The scar on his face was given to him by the most ferocious three-headed dragon.

It was an extremely dangerous battle, but fortunately, in the end, they defeated the Hydreigon, conquered it with their superior strength, and made it their Pokémon.

"Everyone, next, we're heading to Raven City, the capital of the kingdom, where we'll have our final battle with the other trainers."

Derek's gaze swept over the Pokémon before him, and he said in a deep voice, "The ultimate victor will become the strongest Pokémon and trainer in the kingdom! So, everyone, please give it your all and prove our strength to the world!"

"Awoo!"

"Roar!"

"..."

The Pokémon in front of them responded one after another.

Derek smiled and reached out his hand. The six Pokémon then extended their paws and placed them on his hand.

Trainers and Pokémon work together.

"Well then, good luck!"

Kagome Village.

Xiaochun and her Pokémon stay at the home of a local villager.

Since the kingdom was established, many trainers have made a special trip to Kagome Village to train or to catch Ice-type Pokémon.

This has led to the village's rapid development.

In just over a year, many hotels, restaurants and various shops have sprung up in the once empty village.

At this moment, Xiaochun is listening to the local villagers tell the story of how last year, a great monster master came to the village and rescued the villagers who had been captured and imprisoned by a man-eating giant beast.

Xiaochun's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Wow, that must be a really amazing trainer!"

Beside Xiaochun, the Detective Mouse, which had evolved into a Sentinel Mouse, also showed an expression of admiration.

Meanwhile, Heracross was happily sipping a can of sweet drink, completely oblivious to what they were saying.

"Sentinel Rat, Heartbat, Heracross, Almost Doll, Miss Skirt, Chansey, we must learn from that Beastmaster! We must become as powerful as him and then help everyone!" Xiaochun said with a face full of fighting spirit.

Sentinel, Heartbat, Almostdoll, and other Pokémon responded to their trainers.

Only Heracross remained there, enjoying his delicious sweet treat.

"Hey, Heracross!" Seeing Heracross's appearance, Xiaochun immediately felt a headache coming on: "You're not allowed to eat anymore! You've already eaten almost eight cans of my sweet treat today!"

"Aaaaaah!" Xiaochun rummaged through her coin purse and then sadly discovered something: "You ate all the pocket money Mom sent me, and you also ate all the subsidies the Trainer Association gave me. If this keeps up, we'll soon run out of money to take a flying taxi to Raven City!"

"Hera?"

Heracross blinked, then pulled out a large golden bead from somewhere and handed it to the trainer.

"Hera!" Take it!

"This is..." Xiaochun immediately recognized it as a large gold bead that could be sold for money, and her eyes widened instantly: "Where did you get this?!"

"Hera~" Heracross looked mysterious.

Don't ask, Heracross has his own channels!
