Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Bring Sakaki's "gift".

at this time.

The Rockets have completely surrounded the Bell Tower.

Athena frowned.

"Although we don't know how they got in, it would be troublesome if they continued to hide inside the Bell Tower."

Yes.

A large number of monks lived inside the Bell Tower.

Most of these monks were not very combat-capable, but there was a special group of monks who were responsible for protecting the Bell Tower. Those monks were quite powerful.

Especially the ringleaders, even Athena wouldn't want to provoke them.

Xia Yanxu squinted.

'Is Marshadow in there too? Then it seems their target isn't Marshadow, but Ho-Oh...'

Although it sounds a bit absurd to attack Ho-Oh.

The guy carrying the camera is quite formidable.

However, Xia Yan had witnessed Lugia being corrupted by dark energy, so it's not hard to understand why it seems to have its sights set on Ho-Oh.

'No wonder Ho-Oh didn't appear when Marshadow encountered trouble; did it sense that it was their target?'

Xia Yan nodded slightly upon hearing Athena's words.

Even the Rockets are reluctant to mess with Bell Tower.

Because it is not necessary.

Just then.

"Attorney An, it's never too late to turn back!"

The quiet top floor of the Bell Tower.

The door suddenly swung open.

A voice that sounded somewhat familiar to Xia Yan came from the top of the tower.

His voice was gentle yet full of energy, carrying a hint of anger.

at the same time.

Several figures walked out of the door and stood by the railing on the top floor.

among them.

There was a beautiful figure with a curvaceous figure, her light blue hair cascading like a waterfall, swaying gently in the wind, looking relaxed.

After walking out the gate, he even turned around and leaned against the railing.

It seems they intend to use the bell tower as a vantage point to overlook the entire city of Enju and enjoy the scenery.

Before she could even look into the distance, she first saw Team Rocket surrounding the Bell Tower, along with Xia Yan and Athena, who were leading the group.

Blaze!

Xia Yan's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this woman.

She was indeed here.

Blaze showed no panic or surprise upon seeing Xia Yan and the other two.

Instead, he raised his eyebrows at Xia Yan.

A slightly meaningful smile appeared on her face.

Beside Blaise stood a burly figure completely shrouded in a black robe.

With their backs turned, I couldn't see their faces clearly.

He seemed to be carrying something in his hand, which caused his black robe to bulge slightly.

The last person standing with them was a monk of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a gray-white robe and with his hands clasped together.

On the opposite side of them.

A monk, also wearing a robe but much younger, had an indescribable look of sorrow on his face.

Anci!

Anci, the little monk who eats and drinks meat!

That familiar voice came from him.

Although Anci was originally a monk from the Bell Tower, seeing him here still surprised Xia Yan.

After parting ways in Golden City, Xia Yan didn't receive much news from An Ci.

I never expected to see this here.

just.

The situation at the top of the Bell Tower seems rather delicate right now.

A monk in his late twenties.

This is An Lu, the "senior brother" An Ci mentioned.

Moreover, it seems that An Lu and Blaise have gotten involved together.

“Junior Brother Anci, you are still young, you don’t understand.”

An Lu's voice was not hurried at all; he simply clasped his hands together and said slowly.

He then nodded slightly to Blaise and the other man.

"Let's go."

A muffled voice came from beneath the black robe.

Followed by.

A beam of red light shone from beneath his black robe.

A ferocious three-headed dragon appeared outside the railing.

The man in black robes raised his hand, grabbed one of the three-headed dragon's feet, and flew out of the bell tower.

Then.

Blaze raised an eyebrow at Xia Yan again before throwing out a Poké Ball.

It summoned a giant beak and grabbed its foot.

Finally, black mist rose from the shadow of Anlu, the senior brother Anci had mentioned, and eventually transformed into a Gengar to carry him away from the Bell Tower.

"Farfetch'd, Brave Bird, Attack!"

Anci didn't seem to want to see them leave so easily.

Behind it, a large green onion duck with a green onion in its beak, its whole body wrapped in azure feathers, took flight.

"The three-headed dragon, the dragon's pulse."

The menacing-looking three-headed dragon unleashed a "Dragon Pulse," halting Farfetch'd's pursuit.

After a brief period of obstruction, the three of them had created enough distance between them.

They quickly disappeared into the distance.

"Anci...come back..."

Inside the tower, an old and somewhat weak voice came from within.

Anci gritted her teeth, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

"Master..."

Look back.

Xia Yan and Athena witnessed the entire process.

"It seems we're a little late?" Athena said thoughtfully, resting her chin on her hand.

Not having to enter the Bell Tower was good news for her.

"In fact, it's the perfect time," Xia Yan's hoarse voice came through.

"Ok?"

As Athena looked over, Xia Yan's gaze returned from the top of the Burning Tower.

He couldn't help but grin and chuckle softly.

"They're waiting for us. The Burning Tower."

Having said that, he turned and strode away.

His figure briefly blurred.

Athena and the true bird were left with bewildered expressions.

Waiting for us?

...

...

At the same time.

In front of the combustion tower.

The square was bustling with people.

The "Burning Festival" lasts for a whole day.

In the crowd.

"Matsuha, Natsuhiko called us over, but our own people are nowhere to be found."

With her hair tied in two buns, wearing a pretty light green dress, and holding several bags of snacks in her hands, Ami pouted and said.
