Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan pulled out a chair and sat down.

He said softly, "Daigo, I was thinking of giving you something, but now... what a pity—"

"Something?" Daigo's eyes lit up.

Wataru and Cynthia exchanged a glance.

Xia Yan took off his hat and placed it on the table, then clicked his tongue and said, "It's okay, just pretend I didn't say anything, you can continue."

When Daigo saw that Wataru and the others had given in so quickly, he knew all along that there was no point in continuing.

He coughed and straightened the cuffs of his blazer.

"This time, I'll let you go."

Xia Yan's smile grew even brighter.

This is not.

Was the crisis resolved in one go?

It's actually not difficult to operate at all.

Knock knock—

Xia Yan tapped his index finger on the table in the lounge.

Look around at the four people.

"Do you know what word sums up a person's life in one word?" Xia Yan suddenly asked.

One word?

The group of people immediately looked puzzled.

Xia Yan sat up straight and said seriously, "Take a guess."

They looked at each other for a few moments.

Kona spoke first, cautiously asking, "If you had to choose one word, would you say 'good'?"

Are people inherently good at birth?

Xia Yan shook his head.

Du also spoke up, "Good is definitely too one-sided. Where there is good, there is bound to be evil; they coexist."

Kona immediately rolled her eyes at him, clearly annoyed.

"Then tell me."

"Profit!" Du said decisively.

Driven solely by profit?

That makes some sense.

The group looked at Xia Yan.

But their response was still a shake of the head.

"Desire?" Cynthia probed.

The origin of all pursuits is desire.

It's somewhat interesting.

However, Xia Yan shook his head again.

"Life?"

Daigo was the last to speak.

Isn't life itself the most important thing in a person's life?

Xia Yan not only denied it as well, but also showed a strange smile on his face.

That smile gave the four of them a bit of a chill.

"Then Natsuhiko, tell me, what is it?" Daigo couldn't help but want Natsuhiko to reveal the answer.

Xia Yan smiled without saying a word, but continued to tap the table.

Only when the expressions of the others turned somewhat unfriendly did he lower his eyes, his body trembling slightly.

"Yes... you're despicable!"

As soon as the answer was announced, Xia Yan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

just.

The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then they both got up.

Watari rolled up his sleeves. "Don't stop me, I can't hold back anymore."

Daigo loosened his tie. "Who's stopping you? Let me go first!"

"Xia Yan, don't blame me." Kona adjusted her glasses.

Cynthia tied her hair back and said, "Count me in."

Xia Yan's laughter stopped abruptly.

"No, no, no, just kidding, let's talk this out, let's talk this out... Ah—!!"

Although it's been a long time since we last met.

But their feelings for each other have not faded in the slightest.

On the contrary, it exudes an increasingly rich and mellow aroma as time goes by.

Bickering has become a habit for them.

Not long after.

A series of eerie howls echoed from the lounge.

This left the staff waiting outside looking bewildered.

...

...

"Sorry to keep you all waiting! For the second exhibition match, let's first welcome Ms. Cynthia!!"

After the host's voice faded.

Cynthia, tall, beautiful, and elegant, walked out of the player tunnel.

Cheers erupted.

The cheers became even more exaggerated when they saw that Cynthia, who was originally beautiful but had a somewhat aloof air, now had a slight blush on her fair face.

Some of the young men were practically rushing off the stands.

"And then, let's welcome the Dragon-type Elite Four member from the Kalos region, Elite Four member Dorasena!"

wow——

It's actually the Dragon Elite Four member, Dora Sena!

The audience had thought that the battle between Xia Yan and Ju Zi today was already exciting enough, the climax of the show.

Is watching Cynthia's exhibition match really watching a game?

Even the most exciting matches can't compare to Cynthia's performance?

But I never expected it.

The second one to appear was surprisingly Dorasena, the Dragon-type Elite Four member from the Carlos region.

It seems we can already foresee how exciting it will be.

In the stands.

Upon hearing the words "Dragon King," Xia Yan, who looked somewhat disheveled, turned his head to look at Du beside him.

"What?" Du glared back maliciously.

Before Xia Yan could speak, Kona on the other side said quietly, "Hey, watch closely, this is what a Dragon-type Elite Four member looks like."

They also emphasized the word "Dragon Series".

Upon hearing this...

Instead of arguing with Kona, Wataru glared at Natsuhiko with annoyance.

This meme was created by Xia Yan, and now it's completely unavoidable.

but.

That wasn't what Xia Yan actually wanted to say.

He's already overused this joke.

Not to mention.

What he wanted to say was...

"There's something inside, there's definitely something inside. Dorasena and Cynthia are from the same hometown."

Dorasena also comes from the Sinnoh town of God and Town.

perhaps.

She also knew about the "Dragon's Tomb" in the town and the gods.

"You, you have the nerve to say that others have inside information?" Daigo couldn't stand it anymore.

No.

You put on a show of a complete falling out between master and disciple to impress others, and now you have the nerve to say that they have inside information?

Xia Yan smiled.

In other words, he can sense it.
