Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"it is good."

...

The second round of the Masters tournament is in full swing.

The second round has half the number of participants as the first round, so the process will be faster and can be completed in two days.

When we enter the third round.

True masters will create sparks that are called "brilliant".

Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with Courage

The next day.

sunny.

The entire city of Silver City was still immersed in a heated battle atmosphere.

Today is a day when Xia Yan doesn't have a match.

So he sat in a private room upstairs, adjusting the Pokémon's condition and conducting some training that had less impact.

At the same time, one can look down at the stadium through the glass windows.

I still want to thank Daigo for spending money to upgrade the lounge.

Not only are the rooms large enough, but there are also several separate small rooms.

It has a lounge, dining room and training room.

Xia Yan is currently occupying a training room.

The main activities are as follows.

It refers to the control of the spirit's energy and will.

Xia Yan gained great inspiration from the way the Six-Tails gathered the energy of the two techniques, "Absolute Zero" and "Frozen Beam".

For example, Burning Bug can try to fuse Life Flame with other Fire-type moves.

For example, Infernape combines three completely different type moves into a move similar to "Cliff Sword".

The fragments of Primal Groudon's shell that Infernape had absorbed played a significant role.

This greatly enhances Infernape's control over Fire and Ground-type energy.

That was entirely a result of chance.

Other elves can't learn this.

Xia Yan didn't intend for all Pokémon to learn Infernape's move.

However, that doesn't mean there are no points worth considering.

What he wanted was for Infernape to teach everyone the ability to enter a state of absolute focus, and to teach them the feeling of entering a state of "enthusiasm".

at this point.

Currently, among Xia Yan's Pokémon, only Infernape can do this.

In fact, Xia Yan knew that there were other moves such as "Outrage", "Rollover", "Petal Dance", and "Ice Ball" that could also make a Pokémon enter the "Enthusiast" state with a relatively high probability.

only.

Ultimately, what is needed for the "enthusiasm" state is the Pokémon's absolute focus and enthusiasm for a particular move.

Since it's a state.

That can naturally be imitated and learned.

But the tricks are crucial.

pity.

Infernape only has a superficial understanding of the state of "enthusiasm"; all it can teach is the feeling at that moment.

At this moment, Infernape is just like a little teacher.

The elves below sat in a row, each one listening attentively to the lecture.

However, this "focus" refers to a few specific elves.

For example, Beedrill, Alakazam, and Aegislash.

There are also some who are not so serious.

Just like that little guy, Tokis.

Although he stood obediently on the ground.

But its little eyes were bright and alert, looking around.

It's obvious they weren't paying attention in class.

Every time Xia Yan looked over, he would pretend to be very serious and nod in agreement from time to time.

I have no idea what it's endorsing.

There's also a small six-tailed fox.

Six snow-white tails extended from behind its head to its front, swaying back and forth.

Xia Yan actually knew.

The six tails' fur is exceptionally lustrous; when combined, it can form a small mirror.

It was secretly looking in the mirror, fixing its bangs.

This little guy loves to look good.

The naughtiest one.

It has to be Sylveon.

It lay on the ground, looking very serious, with its limbs neatly arranged.

But in fact, when its flexible and lively ribbons occasionally swung across the water, its head would also lower at the right moment, and the ribbons would brush against the corners of its mouth.

Then came the subtle thumping of the lips.

It's stealing energy cubes.

Xia Yan didn't intend to expose the little guys' antics; he just found them amusing.

I just think back to the things I did in class that I thought no one knew about.

In fact, the teachers standing on the stage all know the truth, they're just too lazy to say it.

Now we see this in these little guys.

It just feels a little warm, carrying a few memories.

Anyway, he's not in a hurry.

Once most Pokémon have mastered Absolute Concentration, even Togekiss and the other little guys won't be able to resist.

They are mischievous, but also intelligent enough.

Even if it gains strength later on, it can still catch up with other Pokémon.

Xia Yan was slightly surprised by the seriousness of Latios and Zoroa.

"Dragonite, Dragon Dive!"

On the field, Du, handsome and confident, with a smile playing on his lips, flicked his cloak.

The massive but surprisingly fast Dragonite plummeted from the sky, enveloped in surging and intense Dragon-type energy, delivering a fatal blow to its opponent's powerful attack.

"All six of Baine's Pokémon are unable to battle! Therefore, the winner is Lance from the Kanto region—!!"

Immediately afterwards, cheers erupted.

Du flicked his cloak again and bowed slightly to the surroundings.

"Sigh, another easy win for them."

Xia Yan smacked his lips and shook his head inwardly.

The opponent wasn't strong enough, and they couldn't force Du to reveal much of what he was hiding.

They were completely crushed by sheer strength.

Xia Yan recalled Daigo's battle not long ago.

His posture was more elegant than Wataru's, and the outcome of the battle was not too surprising, except that Daigo won a lot of cheers.

"Could it be that it really is just as I predicted?"

Xia Yan's thoughts grew stronger.

After going through a few, what you get is definitely the "easy mode" script.

What he received was most likely a "hard mode" or even a "hell mode" script.

"Whether or not it will be depends on who our next opponent is."

Looking at Watari, who was standing on the field enjoying the cheers and not coming down for a long time, Natsuhiko no longer hid his feelings and shook his head again.

"I should have known better than to give him the cloak; that show-off."

Speaking of which...

Even the strongest individuals, who seem to possess top-tier strength, all have some flaws.

Watari likes to show off, especially when she puts on a cloak.

When Xia Yan visited the Yulong Clan last time, he heard that there was a whole cabinet of cloaks in Du's room.

Moreover, they all have the same style.

It's the one Xia Yan gave him back then.

The only difference is that the material is better.

Beneath Kona's seemingly mature and sophisticated exterior lies a girlish heart.
