Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

As she spoke, Cynthia took out a palm-sized piece of pure purple crystal and presented it to Xia Yan.

I saw this thing.

Xia Yan was stunned.

"Dragon Crystal?"

He had only obtained a Dragon Crystal the size of a palm once before, in the Sinnoh League's secret vault.

Even with later resource allocation, he was still unable to find the same resource in the secret vault's resource list.

This shows just how rare it is.

Cynthia smiled and said, "Your Latios will need it."

Xia Yan gave her a deep look and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll take it."

I didn't say thank you, because it wasn't necessary.

When Xia Yan gave her something, she never thanked him.

Seeing that Xia Yan accepted the "Dragon Crystal", Cynthia gently smoothed her hair, which had been slightly disheveled by the airflow from the collision.

He added, "Come with me to the 'Dragon's Tomb' sometime. Garchomp is looking for you."

The Garchomp she was referring to was, of course, the one from "Dragon's Tomb".

"I understand. Let's wait until we get back this time."

Xia Yan nodded.

Done.

The two smiled and waved to the audience around them before turning and walking towards the contestants' tunnel.

The host who fell from the sky was holding a microphone.

His expression was a little awkward for a moment.

He saw the two talking and didn't go up to disturb them.

Now the two of them left without even glancing at him, leaving him frozen in place.

"Ahem! What a fantastic match! Let's get ready for the next one!"

...

...

"A fantastic match."

The two returned to the dressing room and repeated the host's words.

Du and the others came to greet them.

Before Xia Yan chose to let Alakazam Mega Evolve.

Cynthia has the upper hand.

After Alakazam Mega Evolved, Xia Yan's team composition became much smoother.

That's where Xia Yan has the upper hand.

Cynthia put on the black trench coat that Kona handed her and gave her a grateful look.

He said, "The Pokémon haven't gelled enough, and the gap is obvious."

Dawu was speechless.

"Me too, that's normal. Otherwise, we wouldn't deliberately hide it when we're fighting against others, saving it for when we encounter Xia Yan. It's because we have to give it a try."

They all knew that if they didn't have anything new to offer Xia Yan, the probability of losing the match was too high.

In terms of roster, neither team is yet fully developed.

In terms of raw power, Xia Yan's Dorambaruto stands out from the crowd.

As for super evolution, that's something everyone has, so there's not much to say about it.

They don't use it when playing against others because they know there's not enough practice and they're not worried about losing.

It was only when facing Xia Yan that I had no choice but to try.

"Yes, yes."

Du echoed.

Xia Yan gave him a disgruntled look.

"They're all mythical beasts, why are you echoing them?"

Watari: "..."

Can't chat anymore, huh?

but.

Surprisingly, he didn't retaliate.

They all knew it.

These past few days, Xia Yan has indeed been "targeted" quite badly.

They are in the wrong.

So now I don't dare to argue with him anymore.

"Huh?"

in the corner.

The Vulpix, guarding its food and fearing it might be "stolen" by Sylveon, immediately tried to rush at Xia Yan upon seeing him.

But Sylveon stopped them.

I looked at it with a puzzled expression.

"Bu-ee~bu-ee~~"

Sylveon waved the ribbon in its hand and carefully explained to Vulpix.

"Can't you see? Xia Yan did it on purpose. Think about it carefully, Xia Yan won all three rounds, didn't he?"

"Waaah!"

Little Six-Tailed Fox nodded repeatedly.

"Bu-i~~"

"But look now, who's accommodating whom?"

Upon hearing this, Little Six-Tailed Fox looked at Xia Yan again.

Then I saw it.

Xia Yan sat on the sofa with a stern face, while the others looked at him with a somewhat ingratiating expression.

"Waaaaah!!"

The little six-tailed fox immediately showed a shocked expression, its eyes widening.

Yes!

They were the ones who lost.

Xia Yan noticed the Six-Tails' gaze and even winked at it.

Sylveon raised its head, and its ribbons gently rubbed the head of the little six-tailed fox.

"Bu-i~~"

"You're still young, observe more, learn more, and speak less—that's the 'routine'."

"Waaaaah~~"

Little Six-Tail nodded repeatedly.

"Buy~"

Sylveon pointed to the energy cube next to Sixtail's feet.

Seeing this, Xiao Liuwei quickly handed it over.

'Big pot, mud everywhere.'

Instantly.

Sylveon revealed a satisfied and sly look of victory.

"Huh?"

Little Six-Tail scratched its head.

I feel like something's not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

...

...

Top floor meeting room at the Baiyin Stadium.

The Kanto Alliance leader took out a communicator and connected the call.

"President! The cause of the anomalies in the southeast sea area has been found; the problem lies with Crimson Lotus Island."

"Crimson Island? Where is Gym Leader Blaine?" the Kanto League Chairman asked in a deep voice.

"We were unable to get in touch with them."

"I see."

"Also, President, we received an anonymous letter from Crimson Lotus Island, but we can't understand its contents and need to decipher it."

"ASAP."

"Yes!"
