Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The Forest of Abundant Woods is located on the other side of Golden City, and the bus is currently the fastest mode of transportation available to Natsuhiko.

Although it might take a little longer, it's much more reliable than taking the eleventh road.

We ate breakfast on the bus.

Take the bus to the last stop.

After getting off the bus.

The colors within sight are mostly green, yellow, and cyan.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted towards us, mixed with a subtle, almost imperceptible stench of decay.

The forest is full of fallen leaves in autumn, but there are also many evergreen trees, in fact, most of them.

I walked into the woods, my feet sinking into the soft fallen leaves.

Currently, this area is located in the suburbs of Saffron City and is being cleared by the Saffron City League and Gym. There are generally no wild Pokémon here, making it a great place for a spring outing.

The little unicorn on Xia Yan's shoulder looked around curiously.

This place is different from where they trained before.

"Stay alert and watch out for Pokémon that may appear at any time. If they show even the slightest hostility, don't hesitate to attack them directly," Xia Yan said seriously.

In the wild, you need to be constantly on guard.

Not only do we need to guard against wild Pokémon, but we also need to guard against some trainers.

Sometimes, certain trainers who seek survival in the wild are more dangerous than wild Pokémon.

Because Pokémon are simple-minded, and seemingly harmless trainers appear calm and collected, no one knows what they are thinking.

"Waaah!"

The unicorn beetle nodded vigorously, its little eyes darting around as it looked at its surroundings.

Once in the wild, the safety of the trainer rests on the shoulders of the Pokémon.

soon.

Xia Yan and the Unicorn Beetle left the safe zone and entered the dense forest.

The dense foliage casts dappled shadows, and sparse sunlight filters through the gaps between the leaves, falling to the ground. The entire forest conveys a message of tranquility.

But behind this tranquility lurks a danger that could appear at any moment.

The green caterpillars, lying quietly on the branches, nibbled on the leaves. The walking grasses hidden in the bushes swayed their leaves. A group of playful pufferfish quickly swept by, frightening the green caterpillars into hiding among the leaves, not daring to move an inch.

A vibrant scene, unaffected by the season.

They are all non-aggressive wild spirits.

As long as you don't provoke them, they won't do anything out of line, except for being a little curious about Xia Yan and the unicorn beetle when they come in.

Suddenly.

Xia Yan felt the unicorn on his shoulder suddenly stiffen and straighten up, its small eyes fixed on a certain spot in the dense forest.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes and continued walking without making a sound.

"clean!!"

A loud cry.

Suddenly, a large, wild eagle leaped out from under the leaves, its sharp eyes sweeping over Xia Yan and the unicorn beetle before finally settling its fierce gaze on the unicorn beetle.

Its sharp beak and gleaming claws clearly indicate that it is an excellent hunter in this forest.

The Fiery Sparrow's target is the Unicorn.

"Woo!" The unicorn beetle arched its body and let out a low cry.

"Spitting silk".

Xia Yan quickly ordered.

Such a straight-line attack was no different from serving food in his eyes.

Upon hearing the command, the unicorn beetle did not hesitate. Its arched body suddenly straightened, and it spat out a fluorescent white thread from its mouth, which quickly swept across the forest, covering a considerable distance, and directly hit the eagle's wing.

The sudden change in wing weight startled the Fiery Sparrow, significantly affecting its speed and flight direction.

"Let's do it again," Xia Yan said calmly.

The unicorn beetle opened its mouth again, and another thread shot towards the fiery sparrow.

The two successful silk-spinning attacks sealed the fate of the Fiery Sparrow, leaving it with no last chance to fight back.

"End it, Poison Needle."

As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, sensing that the time was right, the pointed horn on the head of the unicorn beetle lit up with a purple halo, and several slender poison needles gleaming with a cold light shot out, accurately piercing into the body of the Fiery Sparrow.

Originally, the unicorn beetle was not very toxic, but it has made considerable progress in the past few days after the development of the energy cube.

"Jie!!" the Fiery Sparrow cried out in agony.

After the poisoned needle pierced the Fiery Sparrow's body, it staggered and lost its flight, crashing straight to the ground.

Her body was stained with rings of purple.

They have fallen into a state of poisoning.

"Take care of one."

Xia Yan silently took out the club's camera and filmed the Fiery Sparrow's miserable state before stepping over it and continuing deeper inside.

Their mission this time was to clear the entire area of ​​the dense forest; the Fiery Sparrow was just an appetizer.

Moreover, this Fiery Sparrow isn't very strong. It might be able to easily defeat wild Unicorn Beetles, but it's not much of a match for Xia Yan's Unicorn Beetles.

"Well done, a good start."

Each cleaned-up sprite will receive a reward.

Take out a small energy cube and present it to the unicorn beetle.

This mission is no small task, and we cannot let our guard down because of the dangers in the wild, even with just one Fiery Sparrow. Unicorn Beetle needs to maintain sufficient physical strength and condition at all times.

"Waaah!"

The unicorn took the energy cube and responded.

It also knew that things were different now than usual, so it didn't get overly excited just because it saw the energy cube, and remained vigilant at all times.

Even after taking a small bite each time, it would quickly raise its head again, paying attention to its surroundings.

and......

“Spearow should be a social creature. The appearance of one in a forest means that there are definitely other Spearows.” Xia Yan analyzed calmly.

Spearow are Pokémon with a rather volatile temperament, and their gregarious nature makes them a type of creature that wild trainers are reluctant to provoke.

Like a swarm of Beedrill, they belong to a type of Pokémon that are quite unruly in the wild.

"However, since the dense forest is regularly cleared, the number of Fiery Sparrows coming here should not be large."

Stepping on fallen leaves and withered branches, they made a "rustling" sound.

Just as he had predicted, the unicorn beetle hadn't gone far before it felt threatened again.

Several nimble figures flew out of the dense canopy, flapping their wings and looking down at Xia Yan and the unicorn below with red eyes.

Four.

Xia Yan glanced around and, after confirming that there were only four and no more Fierce Sparrows appeared, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

There weren't many of these Fiery Sparrows.

Moreover, without the presence of the Great Toucan, it would be relatively easier to deal with.

At the same time, Xia Yan noticed that one of the four Fiery Sparrows was more robust than the others. It swept its fierce gaze over Xia Yan and the Unicorn Beetle, and after confirming that there were no other enemies, a look of disdain flashed in its eyes.

When did those Fiery Finch get bullied by a single horn beetle?

That defeated Fiery Sparrow was such a disgrace to them.

With a few gentle flaps of its wings, it slowly landed on a branch and surprisingly began to preen its feathers and sharp feet, completely ignoring the unicorn beetle.

"clean!"

It chirped, as if giving a command.

The other three Fiery Sparrows stared at the reddened eyes and attacked Xia Yan and the Unicorn Beetle directly.

One against three, this is the first time Unicorn has faced such a challenge.

Chapter Fifteen: The Leader of the Fierce Sparrows

"Spinning silk in a net-like shape."

This was a test for Weedle and for him as its trainer, and Xia Yan focused all his attention.

"Waaah!"

The unicorn beetle also felt the pressure, but as long as Xia Yan was still in command, its backbone remained.

With a snap of its mouth, a spider web woven from white silk threads instantly formed.

This is the product of repeated training and learning of the power grid. Although it does not yet cover the electrical energy, after changing the shape of the spinning wire, its hit rate is higher and the coverage area is larger.

In an instant, the spiderweb enveloped a flying peacock, its sticky webs wrapping around its body and sticking to its feathers, severely restricting its ability to fly and forcing it to land on the ground.

Temporarily restrain one.

"Poison needle, aim at the one on the left."

Seeing the remaining two fiery sparrows still charging towards him relentlessly, and feeling the increasingly fierce howling wind as they approached, Xia Yan's hair flew wildly, but he showed no intention of backing down.

Having decided to take on this task, I'm prepared to be outnumbered.

Upon receiving the command, the unicorn reacted quickly.

Head held high.
