Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

“I’ve already told them that if the number of Mega Stones is indeed as large as you say, you will be rewarded with one Mega Stone for each major paper you publish.”

"okay!"

Xia Yan adjusted his hat with satisfaction.

No one will ever have too many Mega Stones, and their value will only increase dramatically as Mega Evolution becomes more widespread.

The league is really willing to spend a lot of money this time.

However, the search for Mega Stones will likely be more difficult than the League imagines.

But this has little to do with Xia Yan.

Kikuko is always reliable when she's in charge.

Little did he know that in order to secure this condition for Xia Yan, Kikuko had slammed her fist on the table in front of countless high-ranking figures in the alliance.

"Oh, right, teacher, there's one more thing," Xia Yan suddenly said.

“Speak,” Kikuko glared at him.

Xia Yan then took out a dazzling Mega Evolution Stone, which was shaped like a leaf with black and red colors.

"This is the Mega Stone?" Kikuko asked, somewhat surprised.

This was also the first time she had ever seen it.

Xia Yan smiled and stuffed the Mega Evolution Stone into Kikuko's hand.

Under her slightly puzzled gaze, he explained, "Teacher, this is Gengar's Mega Stone."

Upon hearing this, Kikuko paused for a moment.

Gengar?

When she looked at Xia Yan again, her expression became somewhat complicated, but more than anything, she felt gratified.

This student was definitely worth taking on.

Xia Yan's thoughts were far more profound than Kiku's.

With Agatha's Champion-class Gengar, plus her Ghost Army, and now with Mega Evolution, wouldn't she be in a class of her own among Champion-class players?

Then Xia Yan will be able to do whatever he wants in the league from now on.

Who objects?

Close the door and let the chrysanthemums out!

Xia Yan also reminded him:

"Teacher, in the future, when the League collects Mega Stones, with your merits, you will definitely be able to apply for them. Remember not to use Gengar anymore; Cursed Doll and Sableye would be good choices."

"These two Pokémon can also Mega Evolve?"

There are far more Ghost-type Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution than Ice-type Pokémon.

The Super Cursed Doll and the Super Hook Eyes are both excellent.

The Super Cursed Doll's trait is "Mischievous Heart," making it a perfect support for the Legion.

Super Sniper's ability is "Magic Mirror," a top-tier ability to defend against status moves.

With one support and one defense, plus Kikuko's ghost army, the power... wow!

of course.

The premise is that Kikuko can withstand two or even three super evolutions.

However...

The stronger Kikuko is, the more confident Xia Yan feels.

Before Kona matures, we'll put Kikuko on the Kanto championship throne.

In addition, there's Lance, the champion of Johto; Steven, the champion of Hoenn; and Cynthia, the champion of Sinnoh.

Xia Yan felt confident that he had it all figured out.

Chapter Thirty-Five: A "Surprise" from Daigo

"Wuhu, is that Baiyin City?"

White clouds drifted past my eyes.

Ash sat by the helicopter window, looking at the majestic city in the distance and the huge, egg-shaped battlefield in the center of the city.

Shigeru put away his small laptop and glared at Professor Oak, who was all smiles beside him.

"It's all the old man's fault for getting delayed by some research. I couldn't see the teacher's previous few matches live. Especially the one the day before yesterday, it was a super evolution!"

A day has passed since Xia Yan's match against Sakaki.

Today is the round of 64 to 32.

As he spoke, admiration inevitably appeared in Xiao Mao's eyes.

He grew increasingly disgusted with Professor Oak standing next to him.

Can you really miss the Masters tournament?

Ash's mother, Hanako, wearing an apron, asked with some concern, "Are there any seats left? I heard the tickets sold out a long time ago."

"Hehe—don't worry..."

Professor Oak said with a chuckle.

Given Professor Oak's status, how could he not have to make room for a private room?

"Aunt Hanako, don't worry. As a teacher, getting us a few tickets is a piece of cake."

Xiao Mao decisively denied his grandfather the chance to show off.

"right."

Hanako's eyes crinkled into a smile.

"I see the stadium! There are so many people!"

Ash was clearly not on the same wavelength as them, shouting in surprise.

Xiao Mao immediately gave him a disdainful look.

Professor Oak, on the other hand, really likes Ash's innocent and lively nature, which gives him the energy of youth.

Compared to Ash, Gary seems far too mature.

Thinking of my student, and this new discovery.

Professor Oak's smile just wouldn't fade.

He was a researcher who neither participated in nor cared about the intricacies of the League. All he knew was that Xia Yan's discovery was yet another one that could bring about significant changes to the Pokémon world.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the stadium's rest area.

Xia Yan, Wataru, Daigo, Cynthia, Kona, and others sat around the sofa.

“This is a serious problem,” Xia Yan said, frowning.

He gently stroked the soft ribbons of Sylveon in his arms.

"Bu-i~~"

Sylveon even wrapped the ribbon around Xia Yan's wrist and shook it coquettishly.

"Well."

Cynthia bit the spoon with her pearly teeth, and a glistening drop of tree sap slid down her chin before disappearing gracefully.

She playfully licked the corner of her mouth.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up!"

Du shouted.

It was immediately visible.

He picked up a bowl of crystal-clear, delicious shaved ice, filled with various tree juices and fruit pulp, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then Daigo and Kona followed closely behind.

Only Cynthia started eating very early.

If we don't eat it soon, it will melt.

That's such a pity.

Along with them were the elves.

Unfortunately, such a small bowl of shaved ice is barely enough to satisfy the teeth of Pokémon like Garchomp and Charizard.

Wu Song, standing nearby, looked at them with some disdain.

"This is the League, ugh, so cold. Is this the future of the League?"

Da Ye looked at Wu Song, who was also holding a shaved ice.

The disdain in his eyes was even stronger than that in Wusong.

"You'd better put down that shaved ice first, phew, before you say that."

"Hurry up, it'll melt if you don't eat it soon," Ah Liu reminded her.

Only Shiba stood there, arms crossed, with an indifferent expression.

What are some delicious shaved ice treats?

It's all water.

He silently stuffed an angry steamed bun into his mouth.

Jam dipped in shaved ice.
