Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Strands of superpowers surged forth from its hands.

Immediately afterward, countless superpowered threads, following Alakazam's thought, swiftly wove together a spoon entirely composed of superpowers.

It seems to carry a certain special rhythm.

"Whoosh."

Hu Di called out to Xia Yan.

When Xia Yan's gaze fell upon it again, it showed off the "spoon" in its hand.

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Superpowers have become extremely active? They seem to be cheering?"

Hearing Hu Di's words, Xia Yan was surprised once again.

next second.

A thought flashed through Xia Yan's mind.

Could Mewtwo have been born?

He opened his mouth.

Is Boss Sakaki moving this fast?

After his battle with Natsuhiko, Sakaki never appeared again.

Even after seeing Xia Yan's Mega Beedrill and witnessing the power of Mega Evolution, Giovanni did not actively seek out Xia Yan again.

This can only mean that there is something more important than Mega Evolution that forces Giovanni to temporarily put aside his pursuit of Mega Evolution.

and so.

That event was the birth of Mewtwo?

While everyone's attention was focused on the Masters Tournament and on Mega Evolution, Giovanni seized the opportunity and created Mewtwo.

"However... even if Mewtwo is born, Boss Giovanni should still be able to control it for a while, right?"

just.

This timing seems a bit delicate.

The Masters Tournament is about to end, and then comes the historic moment of the Kanto and Johto splitting up. Team Rocket has successfully created Mewtwo, so wouldn't the self-imposed constraints within Team Rocket be over?

The Rockets are about to get active again.

and.

This occurred right after Mega Evolution was announced, and Mewtwo was created and still under Giovanni's control.

Wouldn't that mean the Rockets' strength would experience a qualitative leap in a short period of time?

At that time.

Will Giovanni and the Rockets do something earth-shattering?

"Teacher, your match with that Flying-type trainer is about to begin."

At this time.

Ash saw Sylveon leave Xia Yan's side and quickly came over to remind him.

A Flying-type Trainer?

Du, who was already standing at the door waiting for Xia Yan, smirked.

"This kid..."

When Xiao Zhi interrupted him like that, Xia Yan put aside his chaotic thoughts about what Giovanni might do and focused his attention back on the Masters Tournament.

Anyway.

Whatever Giovanni wants to do, that's something the Kanto League and the Super League should worry about. What does it have to do with him, one of the Sinnoh Elite Four?

Let them do what they want.

Today is the Masters Tournament Round of 16.

Coincidentally.

Natsuhiko, who just finished his battle with Daigo yesterday, encountered Wataru today.

This allowed the transfer to finally "get what it wanted".

I was incredibly excited when the match list came out.

This is not.

In the previous match, Aju had just lost to Dorasena, and Du was already waiting at the door.

"coming."

Xia Yan propped himself up on his knees, put away his Pokémon, and walked towards the door.

Today, Wataru, just like Daigo yesterday, had an irrepressible surge of fervor in his eyes.

Xia Yan couldn't help but grin.

Hey.

So you're all hiding your true intentions to deal with us, aren't you?

This battle.

I'm going to make you never forget it!

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Each Other's Backup Plans

Xia Yan and Du walked out of the lounge together.

"I have a feeling that both the Flying-type trainer and the instructor have some ill intentions?"

Ash watched the two figures disappear into the distance, smacked his lips, and said somewhat innocently.

And his words.

This also drew everyone's attention.

Seemingly sensing the gazes, Ash stammered as he asked:

"W-What? Did I say something wrong?"

"No." Daigo smiled and gave him a reassuring look.

"Kids just love to tell the truth."

Kona sniffed, smiled, and winked at Ash while adjusting her glasses.

"I wonder if he's in good health."

As long as Ash refers to Lance as a "Flying-type Trainer".

Lorelei was very satisfied with Ash.

However, considering Xia Yan and Du's temperaments, it's unacceptable for someone to speak ill of them behind their backs, especially since they are Xia Yan's students...

I couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"Our Xiaozhi is absolutely healthy. When he was little, he could run around in the wind without catching a cold, even just wearing diapers."

Hanako, completely unaware of the situation, spoke with a hint of pride and self-satisfaction.

"mom!"

Xiao Zhi blushed.

Why do you talk about everything?

Xiao Mao stood beside him, rubbing his forehead.

He knows best what Xiaozhi was like when he was a child.

Cynthia covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

No wonder Xia Yan took this kid named Xiao Zhi as his student; he's really quite interesting.

Xia Yan and Du, who had left, were clearly unaware of what had happened.

But Xiao Zhi's words hit the nail on the head; the two of them did indeed harbor ill intentions towards each other.

Watanabe's anticipation for the battle against Natsuhiko was no less than Daigo's, and perhaps even greater.

"Xia Yan."

Du suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"After this Masters tournament ends, I will challenge the King of Tennis."

Du said this out of the blue.

"Didn't the City Alliance invite you?" Xia Yan asked in return.

But Du was grinning.

He flashed an incredibly confident smile.

"I did receive an invitation, but sending the Four Heavenly Kings by mail is boring, and besides, I don't really like leaving Kanto."

As the representative of the younger generation of the Duyu clan, coupled with his strength, he is fully qualified to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region.

After all, even if Kanto and the city were not separated, the Dragon Clan would have a very special status in the entire Kanto Alliance.

Once Kanto and Johto separate, the Dragon Clan, located in Ink City in the Johto region, will definitely shift their focus to the Johto Alliance.

At that time.

The City Alliance, which is short of honest and talented individuals, will certainly make extensive use of the Dragon Clan.

This will increase the influence of the Dragon Clan within the Alliance.

Given his status, Watari would certainly be better off returning to the Johto region for development.
