Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

As the team's strongest shield, Xia Yan's Pokémon were able to hold their own against Entei, and it made the greatest contribution.

However, there are also advantages.

Fight against true mythical beasts.

It broadened the elves' horizons and increased their knowledge.

This also allowed them to transform everything they had accumulated during the previous month of training into their own combat power in actual combat.

While not obviously, their skills have definitely improved.

The biggest beneficiary was actually Dorombalut.

It possesses strength extremely close to that of a champion, but due to a lack of combat experience, it cannot fully unleash its full potential.

However, the biggest source of confidence in this battle against Emperor Yan Xia Yan was the benefit of Dorambaruto.

It has taken a significant step towards becoming a champion.

Who knows, he might suddenly reach champion level at any time.

Oh no.

The biggest beneficiaries are the burning insects.

Xia Yan found the Burning Bug sleeping soundly in the ruins.

After consuming the paulownia wood containing the surging life energy of the Phoenix King, the Burning Bug's temperature is extremely high, constantly radiating intense heat.

the most important is.

Beside the burning insects, amidst the ruins filled with rocks and rubble, tender, verdant grass sprouts emerged.

There is still a faint trend of it spreading and growing.

Find a bargain.

We'll have to see how the burning insects fared.

They really made a killing this time.

The most obvious thing is that Xia Yan can sense that the Burning Bug's strength has officially entered the Gym Leader level.

But this is just the beginning.

It doesn't know how much of the Phoenix King's flames it consumed this time, nor the most intact piece of paulownia wood.

Once it has fully digested this energy, its strength may even improve.

It's really not impossible for Xiao Feng Wang to be one.

"The vitality of this burning insect has reached a terrifying level."

Anci, who had appeared beside Xia Yan at some unknown time, clasped her hands together and sighed.

Xia Yan nodded.

With Ho-Oh's furious, full-force "Holy Flame," combined with the paulownia wood most suitable for Ho-Oh, it would be difficult for it not to gain vitality.

“Anci, it’s been a long time since we last met. Let’s get together later. There are some things I’d like to discuss with you.”

As Xia Yan spoke, he bent down and began collecting the dust from the ground.

Anci was stunned when she saw this.

What are you doing?

"Holy Ashes".

Xia Yan lowered his head and spoke to himself.

"But that's possible!"

The ashes left behind after Naomi was burned to ashes by Ho-Oh.

Xia Yan wasn't as particular as him.

When Ho-Oh's flames burned, everything turned into the most primitive carbon.

Moreover, the key point is the residue from the flame, not the raw materials.

This can be considered Naomi's final contribution.

The rest of Ho-Oh's flames were either absorbed by the phoenix tree, scattered, or eaten by the burning insects, leaving only this one handful.

The "Holy Ash" is a top-quality item, no less valuable than the "Time Orb" left by Dialga, which allows one to rewind time.

"Anci, aren't you getting attached to appearances?"

Upon hearing this, Anci paused.

He immediately looked enlightened and respectfully bowed to Xia Yan in a Buddhist gesture.

"You're right, I've learned a lot."

After Xia Yan collected all the "holy ashes," An Ci asked with a hint of curiosity, "Xia Yan, you said you had something to discuss with me?"

Standing up, Xia Yan put away the burning insects and carefully placed the "Holy Ashes" away.

He grabbed Anci's shoulder.

"Let's discuss something about top-tier ingredients of the highest level."

"Huh?!"

What ingredients?!

Before Anci could speak, the giant green onion duck next to him jumped up first.

The Slow-Body Beast breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, its tail now belongs to the giant tongue clam.

Watching the Farfetch'd fly away in a panic, Xia Yan couldn't help but click his tongue and shake his head.

"Cha-cha-yi~~"

Pokkis, standing next to him, smiled broadly.

All I saw was...

Its wings, mimicking those of a farfalle duck, are embracing a fresh scallion.

Xia Yan and An Ci couldn't help but laugh.

"Just kidding, I'd like to have a chat with your master."

Baiyin Mountain.

The headquarters of the Pokémon League.

The Supreme Meeting.

Around the enormous conference table sat all sorts of people, each with a different appearance and a different outfit.

Some people actually sat in the meeting room, but many more participated via holographic projection.

The central seat remains vacant.

Knock knock—

A sound of tapping on the table rang out.

The slightly noisy commotion subsided.

The voice came from a middle-aged man dressed in black with a cold and stern face, sitting to the right of the main seat. His gaze swept over everyone with a scrutinizing and ruthless look.

Few dared to meet his gaze.

"Hehe—I called everyone here today because of what happened in Enju City."

The speaker was an elderly man with white hair and beard, sitting to the left of the main seat.

His face wore a kind and warm smile, which contrasted sharply with the cold, dark-haired middle-aged man opposite him.

As his voice rang out.

A holographic projection appeared in the center of the conference table.

The image above shows what Enju City looks like at this moment.

Seeing that nearly half of the city had been reduced to ruins, many of the people present stared blankly.

Then.

The old man, with his white hair and beard, gave a general account of what had happened at Yuanzhu City.

This includes Xia Yan's rescue, the arrival of the Rockets, the planning of Naomi and others, and even the appearance of Phoenix and the Twin Dragons.

After he finished speaking, he looked around at everyone.

"That's roughly what happened. What do you think?"

An eerie silence fell over the meeting room; no one spoke first.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Finally, someone exclaimed, "Mythical beasts are still too dangerous!"

"But it also depends on which side you're on, doesn't it?"

The speaker was a pale-faced middle-aged man, who could be seen sitting in a wheelchair in the holographic projection.

It was Igor, the president of the Sinnoh League.

"That Xia Yan is good."

Another person said.

Having only recently become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he defeated Blaise, who had held the position for over a decade. That's more than impressive.

But many people secretly shook their heads.

Their strength is quite good.

But his relationship with Rahiram was too close.

It is said to have unclear relationships with many other mythical beasts.
