Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Kikuko Tenno is this Natsuhiko's teacher."

Someone said.

This time.

Many people realized what was happening.

"No wonder. I heard that Kikuko took on a student who seems to be quite capable and strong. I occasionally hear Kikuko bragging about her student. Kikuko actually praising someone? I thought I misheard. It seems her student is almost becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

The person who spoke earlier said helplessly:

"Kikuko's student is that Xia Yan, and he has become one of the Four Elite Four of Sinnoh. He is also a professor of Pokémon studies, and he was the one who discovered the Fairy type."

For a moment, the elderly people were speechless.

"No wonder even Kikuko, who's always had such an eccentric personality, has started showing off..."

"Was she showing off this time too?"

Another silence followed.

These people are starting to wonder if they've become a bit out of touch with society.

Should we go out and take on one or two students?

So that when you have afternoon tea with old friends in the future, you won't have anything to brag about.

...

...

Inside Silver City.

Inside the courtyard of the villa that Daigo bought.

"Bu-i~~"

Sylveon's coquettish voice rang out, and the silk ribbon wrapped around Xia Yan's wrist swayed gently.

Her pink eyes sparkled under the light.

"Waaah~~"

The little six-tailed dog perched on Xia Yan's shoulder, its soft, cool, snow-white fur rubbing against his cheek, occasionally sticking out its pink little tongue to gently lick him, showing affection and coquettishness.

In response, Xia Yan could only pat their little heads affectionately.

"Good, good, good. Train hard. If there are more matches in the future, we will definitely give you more opportunities to play."

"Buyi!!"

"Waaaaah!!"

Upon hearing this, not only Sylveon and Vulpix jumped up excitedly.

The other little ones also showed excited expressions.

Actually, Xiao Liuwei is alright. This time, she got a chance to play, although it was only once.

But the other little ones really didn't get to play.

no way.

The further you progress in the Masters tournament, the stronger your opponents become.

Especially when facing Daigo, Wataru, and the others, they all revealed all their hidden cards, wanting nothing more than to crush Xia Yan on the ground. The little guys really didn't have a chance to play.

"Bu...bu-ee?"

Sylveon's eyes darted around, a sly glint in them.

'How about... we try playing in some regular tournaments?'

It knows that too.

Given Xia Yan's current status and strength, the possibility of him participating in the competition again is not high.

Perhaps there will be the "Eight Masters Tournament" that Daigo mentioned, but no one knows when that will be.

But right.

There are few competitions at that level, but there are quite a few events held in various regions.

Sylveon often watches live broadcasts of those major tournaments on TV.

Although it wasn't as popular as the Masters Tournament, there were still quite a lot of viewers.

"Waaah!"

The little six-tailed cat's eyes lit up instantly, and it nodded its head repeatedly, its curly bangs trembling incessantly.

That makes sense!

The armored dragon, Goomyle, Milotic, and Burning Bug all showed signs of interest.

Xia Yan was both amused and exasperated by their suggestions.

"What? You want me, a dignified member of the Four Heavenly Kings, to compete in the Baby Cup?"

"Buyi?"

'Baby cup?'

Sylveon's silk ribbons fluttered as she blinked her eyes.

It likes this name.

The silk ribbon immediately wrapped around Xia Yan's wrist again, and she began to use her coquettish tricks.

Along with it came Little Six-Tail.

"Next time, definitely next time."

Xia Yan gently rubbed the heads of the two mischievous little ones.

Upon hearing this...

The little guy pouted.

Pokkis, watching from the side, was overjoyed and carefully ate his ice cream, bite by bite.

to be frank.

It was somewhat tempted.

but.

That will have to wait until the Masters tournament ends; tomorrow might be another big battle.

"Ok?"

Suddenly.

Xia Yan was taken aback, his expression turned serious, and he looked towards the direction of Baiyin Mountain.

Although he was far away, he could still vaguely sense that something unusual seemed to have happened inside Silver Mountain.

The night sky, tinged with the glow of the fire, appeared in his vision like an aurora borealis.

What happened at Silver Mountain?

At this time.

Cynthia, with her still slightly damp hair drooping over her shoulders, dressed in casual black clothes, also came into the courtyard.

Xia Yan glanced at her and shook his head.

"do not know."

It's a good thing. It's a good thing.

"Should we go take a look?" Cynthia asked, pursing her lips.

"There seems to be something going on at Baiyin Mountain."

at the same time.

Daigo and Lorelei also came to the courtyard.

The four of them looked rather unwell.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yan said, "The alliance should be able to handle it, otherwise they would have notified us."

This is Mount Silver, home to the Alliance Headquarters and the Kanto Alliance.

It can be said to be the safest place in the entire elf world.

If even the Grand Alliance can't handle it, their presence is useless.

Moreover.

If something really happened, the first thing they would do is evacuate the millions of ordinary people in Silver City and announce the end of the Masters Tournament.

There has been no notification whatsoever.

This shows that the matter is completely under the control of the alliance.

They don't need to worry about it.

"Baiyin Mountain, what happened?"

Leaning against the door frame, Du, whose face was still somewhat pale, pressed his temples and asked.

"You're awake too?"

Because of his battle with Xia Yan during the day, Wataru almost exhausted all of his "Dragon Power," and his spirit was extremely weak. He fell into a coma and hadn't woken up since.

I never expected to be awakened by this incident.

"Yes, I've almost recovered."

Du walked over to them, rubbing his temples, and looked up at the fiery red aurora in the distant night sky.

He smacked his lips and continued, "That commotion was quite loud."

Xia Yan stretched.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it. The alliance will definitely solve it."
