Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan shrugged.

If you insist on interpreting it that way, it's not entirely wrong.

Daigo and Watari couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Do you think we'd believe that?

Xia Yan said with a smile, his face full of sincerity.

"Oh"

Neither angry nor sarcastic.

After walking silently for a while... 1

The two couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

But Xia Yan's smile remained unchanged.

Dawu: ""

We can't talk today.

Daigo couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

Xia Yan nodded.

In fact, Xia Yan had been paying attention to it all along.

But he said with some helplessness, "I know, but we can't rush things at this time, especially when we're in the tunnel."

"The dark aura is becoming more and more obvious."

As they traveled and chatted, Lucario observed the changes in the surrounding crystals and couldn't help but say something to Xia Yan.

“As I said, the Tree of the Beginning is a special life form. It is not just a tree. Do you see these crystals? They are manifestations of the Tree of the Beginning’s life characteristics. Normally, it just quietly spreads throughout the forest, absorbing nutrients while also giving back to nature.”

"You mean these crystals?"

He noticed the puzzled looks on the faces of the others.

Xia Yan thought for a moment, then patiently explained:

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

"What are you doing?" Du couldn't help but urge.

Xia Yan ignored Daigo's surprised expression and continued to explain.

"Normally, these crystals shouldn't change, except..."

Then I saw it.

Several ancient elves-like creatures, seemingly formed from dark red liquid, appeared around them.

But then Xia Yan quietly swallowed.

"Run!"

What are those?

Xiao Chun was panting.

Seeing that Xia Yan had fled without hesitation, Daigo and the other two, though confused, still ran after him.

The dark red ancient elves followed closely behind them.

“For example, humans?” Daigo asked tentatively.

"Correct!"

“As I just said, the Tree of Origin is a special life form. Those things are like white blood cells in our bodies; they will attack anything they perceive as dangerous,” Xia Yan said without turning his head.

Anything that could potentially threaten the Tree of Origin is their target.

The Tree of Origin is truly a unique life form.

So what appears to be in a tunnel is actually in the "blood vessels" of the Tree of Origin.

Du and the others exchanged incredulous glances.

leukocyte?

The group remained silent.

Perhaps the Rockets made a greater sacrifice.

How did the Rockets circumvent this?

How do you know they haven't been arrested?

Wrap them up.

What are you going to do?

After saying this, Xia Yan immediately shouted, "Alakazam!"

Alakazam understood and unleashed its superpowers.

Xia Yan's face darkened.

"The Rockets have already stirred up the 'white blood cells' here, and there's a group of them rushing towards us."

Alakazam's psychic powers failed to deter the pursuit of the dark red ancient Pokémon, who continued their relentless chase.

Furthermore, the attacks of the elves are unlikely to have much effect on them.

But then Xia Yan said this.

next second.

"Should we retreat?"

Take a deep breath.

Wow

Beneath the enormous Tree of Origin.

Enveloped in Alakazam's psychic powers, their figures vanished instantly.

Meanwhile, the white blood cells chasing behind and those rushing forward looked at each other, some seemingly frozen in place.

"Xia Yan, have you been here before?"

"No."

In a clear pool of water.

Xia Yan and the others poked their heads out of the water, breathing in the fresh air.

Du's face was filled with disbelief.

"Borrowed money."

With a blank expression, Xia Yan approached the shore, fueled by Alakazam's psychic powers.

"No? Then how dare you let Alakazam 'teleport'?"

Crossing: ""

Dawu: ""

"Gambling?"

Xia Yan gave him a disgruntled look. "Otherwise, why would I make you take a deep breath?"

Can you just use "teleportation" without knowing the coordinates?

It's not like no fool in the world of elves has ever done something like this.

"Luckily, it's in a pool of water. I thought I was going to be buried underground," Xia Yan said with a hint of sarcasm.

"You're really brave," Daigo said, shaking his head.

However, after Alakazam's strength reached the Elite Four level, he gained some confidence.

Second.

But ultimately none of them had a good outcome.

Actually, Xia Yan didn't dare to do it before either.

While it can't be perfectly accurate, it's good enough.

If all else fails, even a Celestial-level Alakazam has a certain ability and opportunity to react.

He didn't just randomly teleport.

Lucario showed him and Alakazam the directions and location.

In this world.

Green hills and clear waters, birds flying and fish swimming.

Look up at the sky.

A towering, ancient tree that reaches into the clouds.

"Is this the Tree of Origin?" Du murmured.

Compared to this place, even the Dragon Cave of their Dragon-Riding Clan seems insignificant.

Ancient spirits that have become extinct in the outside world can be seen everywhere, as well as rare spirits such as Altaria and Cottonbird.

The four of them were so captivated by the scenery that they were lost in thought.

If developed, it will bring unimaginable wealth.

Yet it still evokes a sense of warmth, comfort, tranquility, and contentment within one's heart.

"Shall we keep this a secret?" Daigo said awkwardly.

This is a real-life Shangri-La.

Just the fact that they're near here.

That sense of detachment from worldly affairs that arises from the depths of one's heart is definitely not without reason.
