Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Looking around at the mess, he continued, "But don't worry, our mission has been completed with your help, Heavenly King Xia Yan."

Her glances around did not escape Xia Yan's notice.

'Is Athena's mission to destroy Enju City? Or rather, to disrupt the "Burning Festival"? What is Giovanni planning?'

"Then why aren't you leaving? Are you waiting to be arrested?" Xia Yan asked in a low voice.

"Hehe—King Xia Yan, instead of worrying about us, why don't you think about how to deal with things over there?" Athena said with a hint of sarcasm.

His words were filled with schadenfreude.

Xia Yan glanced at the silent Yan Xia with some apprehension.

She pursed her lips.

They chose to stop communicating.

'Is he afraid of Yan Xia?'

Xia Yan's actions were also noticed by Athena.

They might have faced off before?

Who is stronger?

Athena was somewhat curious.

Xia Yan ignored them and walked to the Burning Tower.

He frowned as he looked at the still-burning flames and the black-robed figure standing on the railing above.

"Put out the fire first," Xia Yan said.

"Leave it to this humble monk."

Anci said.

Immediately, two Poké Balls were thrown out.

A Slowbro and a Swamp King appeared in front of him.

really.

As Xia Yan had predicted, Anci's Slowbro also possessed the strength of a Champion, while Swamplord was slightly weaker, but estimated to be roughly equivalent to the top tier of Quasi-Champion level.

only......

Isn't pairing Slowbro with Swamplord a bit too "wise," a bit too shrewd in disguise?

"Slowbro, Swamp King, Hydro Pump!"

Anci ignored Xia Yan's strange look and gave commands to the two elves.

Then I saw it.

Slowbro and Swamp King simultaneously bulged their bellies.

Furthermore, glistening water droplets condensed on the Swamp King's deep blue, moist surface, as if the surrounding moisture was frantically converging towards it.

The massive amount of moisture brought by the rain in Blaise earlier had not yet completely dissipated and was being used by Swamp King.

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Water storage characteristic?"

Being able to gather all the surrounding water vapor, Anci's Swamp King, although not very strong, has an exceptional grasp of its own characteristics.

Yes.

When Xia Yan first met An Ci, his impression was that An Ci wasn't particularly strong, but he had an exceptional grasp of the moves.

Farfetch'd had already mastered the "Sword Dance" and even taught it to Beedrill.

This can be seen.

Anci is the type of trainer who accumulates experience and then unleashes it.

Perhaps he was exposed to Pokémon at a very young age, but he focused on practicing Pokémon moves first.

Such training methods are rare, but they do exist.

soon.

Slowbro and Swamp King had accumulated enough energy, and a surging stream of water poured towards the Burning Tower.

just.

How could the man in black robes and Anci's senior brother, Anlu, let them ruin their plans so easily?

All I saw was...

A dark figure emerged from the flames, its appearance pitch black, its body obese, and its aura thick with ghostly energy. Yet, it clasped its hands together in a devout manner.

Anlu's Gengar!

Furthermore, as soon as Gengar appeared, it stirred up a surge of Ghost-type energy, condensing two Shadow Balls, which went straight to meet the Hydro Pump.

At the same time, a hint of liveliness flashed in Gengar's calm eyes.

An eerie aura emanated from it.

It covers Slowbro and Swamp King.

Soulful!

Spiritual Slash: Ability to manipulate the items carried by the opponent to attack them.

Xia Yan was surprised that An Lu's Gengar actually mastered the extremely rare Ghost-type move "Spirit Scatter".

The Slowbro and Swamplord, affected by the "Spiritual Spell," were immediately attacked by the items they carried.

With just one Gengar, he managed to entangle Anci's two Pokémon. This monk Anlu is quite powerful.

Xia Yan stopped looking and nodded slightly to Hu Di.

"Whoosh."

Hu Di understood.

With his eyes brimming with psychic power, he transferred the "Rain" ability, which he had deliberately "played" with from Blaze's Pelipper, to Xia Yan's other Pokémon one by one through "Ability Swap".

They were never familiar with the characteristics of "rainfall".

Despite being unfamiliar with it, the combined "rain" of so many Elite Four level Pokémon, even if it's just based on instinct, is enough to summon a torrential downpour.

dark clouds.

The sky above the Burning Tower was once again shrouded in darkness.

"Did we make it...?"

just.

The black-robed man, who had been hesitant to move, suddenly let out a low, guttural sound.

His gaze, hidden beneath his black robe, was fixed on a low hill not far to the west of the Burning Tower.

And on that mountain.

Standing there was a majestic spirit, resembling a lion.

Behind it was a mane that flowed like white smoke, and beneath the smoke were sharp brown hairs that fluttered in the mountain breeze, like a flame burning fiercely.

He stood on crimson-gold flames, like a fire-breathing unicorn.

Ho-Oh's Guard, one of the three legendary beasts.

Flame Beast, Flame Emperor!

"Roar--!!"

With a roar that shook the heavens and earth, Emperor Yan strode forward, stepping on flames, and sped toward the Burning Tower.

the most important is.

After Emperor Yan's roar, the black cloud that Xia Yan's few elves had painstakingly gathered vanished in an instant.

Even the clouds in the sky seemed to have thinned out a bit.

But the sun in the sky, and the sunlight, became increasingly intense.

Emperor Yan's 'Sunny Day'!

Before the Phoenix King arrived, Emperor Yan went ahead.

just.

The appearance of Emperor Yan prevented Xia Yan from extinguishing the flames of the Burning Tower, and even summoned an even more intense sun.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Xia Yan looked at the dissipating dark clouds and the blazing sunlight, and couldn't help but murmur to himself.

Before Phoenix King even appeared, Entei was already controlled?

Ho-Oh, did you know your house was robbed?

The black-robed man did not intervene after Blaze's death because he was waiting for the Flame Emperor.

What about the Thunder God and the Water Dog?

While everyone was awestruck by the legendary divine beast Yan Di, Xia Yan took a moment to glance at "Yan Xia".

Their eyes met, and their unspoken understanding allowed them to comprehend each other's meaning without needing to exchange words.

Chapter Fourteen: Xia Yanjia "Yan Xia" VS Yan Di Jia Lei Gong

The appearance of Emperor Yan thwarted Xia Yan's plan to extinguish the Burning Tower.

And things started to spiral out of control.

That explains why the man in the black robes remained indifferent as Blaze was killed by Xia Yan.

Although it was because Xia Yan and Blaze ended their battle too quickly, coupled with "Yan Xia's" watchful gaze, that the man in black robes dared not leave the Burning Tower at will.
