Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Teacher, I'm leaving."

The next day.

Sitting on Latios's back, Xia Yan waved to Professor Oak on the ground.

Professor Oak stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.

He nodded and said:

Be careful.

"clear."

After saying that, Xia Yan nodded to the imposing, fiery elf beside him.

Violence—!!

The flamingo let out a long cry.

It flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

Xia Yan patted Latios on the back, signaling it to follow.

last night.

While Xia Yan was still guarding the Burning Insects, he took out the "Silver Feather" because he was thinking about some issues.

The appearance of this feather revitalized the previously dormant Moltres, making it lively and excited once more.

The splashing lava almost burned Xia Yan to death. If Alakazam and Beedrill hadn't stopped him, Xia Yan would probably have said goodbye to his long black hair.

but.

The "Silver Feather" firebird, however, said it would leave with Xia Yan today.

Even though its condition had not yet recovered, and even though its mind was still somewhat confused in Xia Yan's eyes.

As the guide, Moltres quickly took off.

Although Moltres is stronger, it is not in good condition.

In addition, Latios is a Pokémon that is very good at flying in a straight line, so it won't slow you down on the way.

"Firebird".

Xia Yan contacted this guy, who was now rather impulsive, through telepathy.

"explain."

"If it were a group of humans who attacked you, your appearance would surely attract their attention, wouldn't it?" Xia Yan didn't care about its tone and simply said slowly.

The flamingo remained silent.

Although it is not in good condition, it does not mean that it has completely lost its mind.

“When I saw that feather yesterday, I suddenly remembered some things.”

Instead of answering Xia Yan's question, the firebird changed the subject.

"what?"

Then, a firebird flying beside Latios, its entire body enveloped in raging flames, stared at Xia Yan for a long time with its bright eyes.

He then slowly said, "It's about that group of humans."

Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"You remember now?"

"A little bit."

Tell me about it.

The flamingo nodded. "Those humans are very strong."

Definitely.

Otherwise, this Moltres, which might even be in its own territory, was defeated so easily, and now its memory is a bit confused and its mind is not quite clear.

Xia Yan was worried that it might suddenly attack him.

Xia Yan wouldn't have agreed to let it come along if he didn't have enough confidence to take it down.

Later, considering that it was a "local" after all, and seeing certain things might remind it of more things, we finally agreed to take it with us.

However, Xia Yan was trying to figure out how to minimize the potential dangers posed by this firebird.

"Then?"

Seeing that the Flame Bird remained silent for a long time after saying something, Xia Yan couldn't help but ask.

The Moltres didn't speak.

I only glanced at him.

Xia Yan: "..."

She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

So, all you can say in the end is this?

Even if you don't say it, we know those people are not simple.

Suppressing his speechlessness, Xia Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "Did those people use anything other than spirit power? For example, some special tools?"

But the Moltres glared at him irritably.

"Isn't this a method you humans usually use?"

It doesn't think it's anything worth talking about.

Isn't this common sense?

But for Xia Yan...

But things are different now.

Indeed.

Some people with more extreme methods use these various special tools, which are also the crystallization of human wisdom in fighting against elves.

But in present-day Kanto and Johto.

There are actually only two groups of people who possess such strength and know how to use these special tools to deal with Moltres.

That group is the Rockets.

But Xia Yan had confirmed it with Giovanni, and Giovanni had even given the "Silver Feather" to Xia Yan, so it definitely wasn't Team Rocket, nor was it Giovanni.

That leaves only the Hunter's Guild.

After listening to Giovanni's attempts to contact him, as well as the description from Moltres, Xia Yan was able to pinpoint the root cause of the incident.

only.

Knowing something is one thing, but knowing how to do it is another.

But it also gave Xia Yan a little confidence, as he understood who was behind it all.

The approach will naturally differ depending on the person you are dealing with.

Thank you.

Xia Yan said to the Flame Bird.

This incident involves some secrets about Beedrill, secrets left behind when it was still in its Weevil form.

Regardless of the situation over there, Xia Yan will definitely get involved.

Therefore, Moltres's information was not only helpful to itself, but also to Xia Yan.

Moltres was visibly taken aback upon hearing the thanks.

He opened his mouth.

It eventually came down to a single sentence.

"You just said that if I go there, I'll be discovered?"

We've come back to this topic again.

“If I were the human who injured you and let you escape, I would definitely pay extra attention to you, and your appearance would inevitably attract a lot of unnecessary attention,” Xia Yan said seriously.

Moltres did not object to this.

It makes sense.

"Moreover, your strength and condition are not very good."

"Then I can burn many people to death too!" the flamingo said, its voice growing harsher.

Xia Yan quickly activated the power of the waveguide to soothe its emotions.

This is one of the reasons why he was willing to bring Moltres along; the Aura Force's calming ability can make Moltres quiet.

This situation inevitably led Xia Yan to speculate.

“I know you can burn many people to death, but what will the result be? Do you think your end will be any better?” Xia Yan retorted.

"I......"

That was just the beginning.

Xia Yan interrupted him.

Even if you don't care about the outcome, will your companions watch you get into this situation? What if they come to your rescue, but those people use you as bait to lure your companions?

"companion......"

Moltres looked somewhat dazed.

"No companions?" Xia Yan muttered to himself.

Logically, there shouldn't be only one Moltres.

However, he immediately changed his tone.

"At least I'm here. Since I brought you here, I'm definitely going to bring you back intact. If they use you as bait to deal with me and Beedrill, should we save you or not?"
