Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

His dark eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

is it you?

Igor pushed the wheelchair to the window, looking down at Natsuhiko who was facing Sakaki across the distance, a hint of worry on his face.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Create a Miracle! Beedrill!

Violence—!!

The appearance of Zapdos, coupled with the raging thunder, instantly created a tremendous visual impact.

The audience members stared wide-eyed.

Watching Zapdos recklessly unleash its thunderous power on the field.

Like a raging thundercloud, it unleashed its fury.

How could we see two mythical beasts in just one battle?

Xia Yan's Latios is already well-known.

Although they did not demonstrate particularly strong abilities.

But that's because Xia Yan's Latios has only just reached the Elite Four level.

The fact that they can compete with some Pokémon that have been hovering at the Elite Four level for a long time is enough to show the power of legendary Pokémon.

If Xia Yan were given more time to properly hone Latios after it reached the Elite Four level, its strength would undoubtedly be even greater.

but.

In this clash of divine beast auras.

Giovanni's Zapdos undoubtedly had the upper hand.

Without him.

Because this Zapdos is a champion-level bird!

Aside from lacking a divine position, which limits its ability to utilize its talents in melee combat, it is not much different from the legendary Zapdos.

A champion-level Zapdos, plus a champion-level Garchomp.

The extent to which Giovanni values ​​Natsuhiko is evident from the mere appearance of these two Pokémon.

In addition, Nidoking, Rhyperior, Gliscor, and Hippowdon are all top-tier Champion-level Pokémon.

At this moment, the lineup that Sakaki displayed far surpassed that of the vast majority of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Perhaps only those veteran superstars, such as Kikuko, Yanagi, and Genji, can still outshine him.

I thought it would be a match that Xia Yan could easily win or even crush.

Unexpectedly, this "Jianwu" gave the audience so many surprises.

They couldn't sense the strength of Garchomp and Sandyon.

Just by looking at Xia Yan's expression when he saw these two elves appear, you can get a sense of something.

I am afraid.

These two elves will once again give the audience some surprises.

The audience, always eager for excitement, naturally erupted in cheers that flowed like a tidal wave, perfectly synchronized and fluid.

...

...

In the lounge.

When they saw the Champion-level Garchomp summoned by Giovanni, Lance and the others showed surprise on their faces.

When I saw the champion-level Zapdos appear, I couldn't hide my surprise at all.

"A champion-level Garchomp and a champion-level Zapdos, who exactly is this Kenjiro? No wonder Xia Yan had that expression when he learned that his opponent was him, he was under a lot of pressure."

Cynthia's pretty face turned serious.

She had sensed Xia Yan's immense pressure when they were in the contestants' tunnel earlier.

just now.

She finally understood.

"And it's a sandstorm system; that hippopotamus is trying its best to suppress itself," Daigo added.

As Daigo had already begun researching the sandstorm system and was making good progress, he immediately recognized that the hippopotamus's characteristic was "sand blowing".

“I don’t recall anyone like that in the city.”

Watari's expression wasn't very pleasant either.

As a senior investigator before Kanto and Johto were separated, he didn't tell anyone in either region.

But at least those who are famous or have great power will be registered in their investigation department's database.

Du would have some impression of those people, more or less.

But this "Jianwu" was something he had never heard of before.

"Could it be that he's been hiding his true abilities all along? Waiting to shine at the Masters Tournament? Using Xia Yan as a stepping stone to make a name for himself?" Kona wondered.

It's not impossible.

After all, Xia Yan is quite famous now; even some of the Four Heavenly Kings who have been famous for a long time are not as famous as him.

Not long ago, he resolved the crisis in Enju City in the Johto region, and his popularity in the Johto region is even higher than that of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto.

It even appeared.

There are calls for Natsuhiko to come to Johto and become one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"How should Xia Yan fight this?" Dan Di also spoke up.

Dan Di still greatly admired and even respected Xia Yan, who had defeated him.

He knew about Xia Yan's birth; to call him a grassroots would be an understatement—he was from the very bottom of society.

Yet, this trainer from the bottom rungs of the Pokémon world has displayed such strength and ability.

The sheer difficulty of climbing out of the abyss step by step is enough to make one despair just by imagining it.

But he not only climbed out of the abyss, but also gradually surpassed a group of prodigies, a group of geniuses hailed as one in a century.

If we say...

If Wataru is powerful, his haters will say it's because of his family background; if Daigo is powerful, his haters will say it's because his family is wealthy; if Cynthia is powerful, her haters will say it's because of her long-standing family tradition. So, it's really hard to find many faults with Natsuhiko's abilities.

This is why he can quickly gain a large number of fans every time he shows his strength, and has already surpassed the number of supporters of Transcendent, Daigo, and Cynthia.

Because what he represents are the vast majority and most helpless ordinary people in the elf world.

This is also what Dan Di admires most about him, and what he is most convinced of.

This is also why Wusong, Daye, and Aliu were willing to become Xia Yan's subordinates.

Cynthia and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Unless..." Watari opened his mouth.

Daigo, Cynthia, and Lorelei all understood.

But even then, it might not be enough, right?

enough?

...

...

If I had to pick the one under the most pressure right now...

It must be Xia Yan.

However, he wasn't as surprised as the others.

After learning that his opponent was none other than Boss Sakaki.

Xia Yan had prepared for the worst.

They anticipated that even if Sakaki didn't go all out.

But it won't just be a game of make-believe or a mere formality.

There will definitely be champion-level Pokémon.

I just didn't expect it.

The champion-level creatures have arrived, but there are only two of them.

I couldn't help but look at Sakaki, who had an indifferent expression, again.

Is this a test to see what he's capable of?

This seems to be the only explanation.

Xia Yan took a deep breath.

Calm yourself down quickly.

As a trainer, no matter how strong the opponent is, he must maintain absolute composure.

If even he can't stay calm, then the elf's emotions will definitely be affected, causing him to be unable to fully unleash his full potential.

Only when he calms down can he infect all the elves.

At the very least, we must not let them lose confidence in themselves.

Simultaneously.

A special azure halo emanated from Xia Yan's body.

The power of waveguides.

He amplifies his emotions using the power of aura, affecting all of his own Pokémon.
