Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

After entering the room, I released the three Pokémon.

At the same time, he took out that crystal-clear dark purple stone, the Stone of Darkness.

"Kikuko said it's a medium-quality Dark Stone, which saves us the risk of having to find someone to appraise it."

However, Xia Yan doesn't really know much about evolution stones, and he doesn't know how much a mid-level evolution stone is worth yet.

In short, this thing should absolutely not be sold in Golden City.

"Perhaps I should find a chance to leave Golden City..."

He currently has 900,000 Alliance Coins and a mid-quality Dark Stone, which is enough to support some of the Pokémon's expenses even if he doesn't make money in the short term.

"Golden City is currently at the center of a vortex. Chaos may be good, but excessive chaos could easily drag you into it as well."

Xia Yan, sitting at the table, gently tapped the surface.

"Once this Elite Four exhibition match is over and we understand the true strength of the Four Elite Four in this world, we'll leave Goldenrod City!"

He made a decision very quickly.

Having settled the most important matter, Xia Yan then turned his attention to some other minor and trivial matters.

When we were halfway through making our plans, we were interrupted by a party invitation from old Bill Gastly.

"The hypothesis about Eevee's evolutionary form in the paper has attracted considerable attention; the next paper also needs to be sufficiently unique..."

He picked up the pen.

I silently listed a few points on the paper.

1. Slowpoke evolves into Slowking by using the King's Token.

2. Mosquito Coil evolved into Mosquito Coil Frog King with the help of the King's Certificate.

3. Scorpion evolved into Scorpion King by using its sharp teeth.

4. Nymph evolves into Weavile by using her sharp teeth.

5. The impact of Feebas's beauty level on the process of becoming Milotic.

6....

Too much.

None of them were easy to write.

This requires real-world examples, or reliable data and theories to confirm this evolution.

"Perhaps... I could consider participating in this research as an assistant. Anyway, as long as I can make money, fame and such are more of a disadvantage than an advantage for me right now..."

"Sakuragi is an option..."

Shake his head.

"Let's put it aside for now."

Xia Yan then took out the notebook about cultivation that Master Suzuki had obtained at the party.

He had been studying this manuscript for some time.

Great harvest.

Perhaps it was just good luck, but this notebook describes knowledge about making Elf Energy Cubes.

Combined with his previous self-study of knowledge about animal husbandry.

Xia Yan felt it was necessary to try making it himself.

"Beedrill and Casey are actually okay; even if you can't make them, you can buy them. The problem is Togepi's Power Cube."

Because Togepi is a Fairy-type Pokémon, but the Fairy type has not yet been discovered, there will naturally be no Energy Cubes available on the market for Fairy-type Pokémon.

Eating Normal-type Energy Cubes is certainly an option, but it would undoubtedly affect future development of Togepi's Fairy-type Energy abilities.

Since there was no suitable one, Xia Yan had to make one himself.

Fortunately, he had some understanding of which berries Fairy-type Pokémon should use to make suitable Energy Cubes.

This is thanks to his previous research on the game's fruit system.

"The key is the formula."

He wrote the word "recipe" on the paper and circled it several times.

After thinking it over, it seems I can only figure it out myself.

"The combination of materials is one aspect, but the production process also requires skill and luck."

In the creation of energy blocks, the analysis, separation, blending, and shaping of materials are all very important.

The final shaping process, in particular, requires a great deal of skill and a bit of luck.

Luck may even play a major role.

Normally, even a skilled breeder cannot guarantee success and meet the standards every time they create an energy cube with a known recipe.

Because many factors can affect the production process.

"luck......"

Xia Yan suddenly thought of something.

Turning his head, he looked at Togepi, who was about to hide the shriveled leek under the covers.

Several dark lines appeared on his forehead.

“Cha-ke-yi—”

Noticing Xia Yan's gaze, Pokobi chuckled and kicked the blanket, covering the last stalk of scallion with it.

He whistled at Casey without any expression.

Casey closed her eyes with a look of disgust, her superpowers suspending it in mid-air.

Its mental cultivation has officially entered the initial stage.

"That scallion can't be eaten; throw it away tomorrow."

Xia Yan considered whether he should sleep on the floor today.

“Chocolate…”

Pokopf slumped his head.

Aside from Togepi's somewhat mischievous nature, it's perfectly capable of handling anything that tests luck.

Argument.

With a super lucky Pokémon by your side, how can you make the most of its good fortune...?

Waiting online, very anxious.

Chapter Fifty-Two: Uncle Liu and Chrysanthemum

three days later.

Located in the heart of Goldenrod City, it boasts the largest open-air battle tower and some of the best battle facilities in the entire Kanto region.

Second only to the battlefield set up by the Kanto Alliance at its headquarters at the foot of Mt. Silver.

The league holds various competitions of all sizes every year. Some large competitions are usually held at the league headquarters, while smaller ones are arranged in various locations.

For example, there are competitions for young trainers, and trial matches for novice trainers.

As the largest city in the Kanto region, Goldenrod City undoubtedly hosts the most events.

Despite its name, the Battle Tower is actually like a large, open-air football stadium that can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators at a time.

Therefore, this exhibition match of the Heavenly Kings was naturally arranged in this largest arena.

When Xia Yan arrived, the area outside was already packed with people.

Trainers from all cities and regions come here to witness the power of Elite Four level trainers and try to learn something from them.

"Yeah, I'm right next to this grilled squid stall," Xia Yan said casually, then hung up the phone.

I silently observed the bustling scene before me.

He wasn't much different from this group of people.

They were just a group of trainers with average strength but high aspirations, hoping to become trainers at the level of the Elite Four.

However, in the face of harsh reality, no matter how many of them there are, they are just blank sheets of paper in the wind. They may seem big, but in reality, they can only drift around with the wind and go with the flow.

"Hey buddy—want two skewers?" The squid stall owner couldn't help but call out to Xia Yan, who was standing in front of his stall but not buying anything.

"No need... never mind, just give me three skewers."

After thinking it over, Xia Yan still took out his money and bought three large skewers of grilled squid.

I don't like it myself, but I can let the bees have a taste.

For the past three days, since I didn't dare go back to my previous place of residence, I could only train the elves in some relatively remote corners, and I didn't prepare any good food for them.

"Alright!" The boss immediately beamed with joy.

This kind of large-scale event not only ignites the enthusiasm of trainers, but also stimulates the economy of Goldenrod City, especially the vendors who have gone to great lengths to arrive early at the venue to grab a stall.

It has to be said that this has given the gold market, which had been sluggish for a month, a much-needed boost.

"Xia Yan!"

soon.

Daigo, dressed in a matching suit, and Cynthia, with an unapproachable expression, approached Natsuhiko under the watchful eyes of many.

“Daigo, Cynthia.” Xia Yan nodded to them.

“…Thank you for last time…” Cynthia said, sounding a little awkward.

Xia Yan knew what she was thanking for; it was nothing more than a reminder he had subconsciously given her during their last visit to the dark ruins.

He waved his hand and said, "No need. Even without my reminder, you would have been fine. I should be thanking you for searching for me there for so long."

Cynthia lowered her head and bit her lip, unsure of what to say.
