Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Just as Xia Yan inexplicably felt a chill and looked around,

The short shadow hiding not far away secretly covered its mouth, its eyes curving into crescents.

These creatures... seem quite interesting!

Chapter 83 begins!

The three "life crystals" in Casey's hand shattered, along with what seemed to be some unseen constraints within Casey's body.

Its superpowers are like a qualitative change that follows a quantitative change.

As his superpowers became more solidified, his overall strength also improved.

Casey has finally moved from the qualified level to the excellent level!

As its strength increased, the absorption rate of the remaining "life crystals" undoubtedly became even faster.

Xia Yan and An Ci both noticed Casey's changes, but before they could rejoice, the arrival of the elves made their hearts sink.

Starting with the Wood Sprite, they have already withstood four waves of Ghost-type Pokémon attacks.

And each wave was stronger than the last, leaving Beedrill and Farfetch'd with various large and small wounds.

Even with Togepi's prayers and healing bells as aids, these injuries still require some rest to fully recover.

Ultimately, sprites are neither data nor tools; they also have an upper limit to their regenerative abilities.

Only one Pokémon appeared this time.

But this put them under tremendous pressure.

One.

An elite-level Gastly!

If Anci's other two Pokémon are still in good form, and Beedrill and Farfetch'd are at their peak, they might still have a chance to win against elite-level Pokémon.

However, Anci's two Pokémon were already seriously injured before entering the Spirit World. Now, Beedrill and Farfetch'd have also gone through several battles and are in poor condition. Facing the elite-level Gastly, they can probably only hold out for a while at most.

I can't stay here any longer.

Xia Yan immediately made a decision.

He hissed, "Casey, let's go!"

Casey was taken aback for a moment, then reacted quickly. She clenched the "life energy" that had turned to dust in one hand and held the prayer beads in the other. Her enhanced superpowers rapidly expanded, enveloping them all.

Gastly, which was rapidly approaching, was not about to simply watch its prey leave.

Even from a considerable distance, a dark light gleamed in his eyes.

Black eyes!

just.

Just as the black gaze was about to lock onto Casey, a wisp of black mist suddenly rose up, blocking the gaze's penetration and allowing Casey to use teleportation to take Xia Yan and the others away from there.

"Kou Jie!"

When Gastly saw that its black gaze had been intercepted, it was filled with rage and looked around, trying to find something that was blocking its hunt.

But when its gaze falls on the corner.

When he saw the short figure hidden in the shadows, his gaze flickered slightly, and his body froze.

Immediately afterwards, it saw a hint of anger flash in the figure's eyes.

Before Gastly could even frantically try to explain anything...

puff--

Its body dispersed directly in all directions, just like black mist.

The short figure in the shadows said something in a low voice...

Disappointing.

It disappeared into the shadows, leaving only a wisp of black smoke that swiftly swept across a distant distance.

A long time passed.

Gastly's body solidified again, its eyes filled with lingering fear, and it quickly fled.

It promised that it would never appear here again.

...

...

the other side.

"That black mist..."

Xia Yan had thought he was going to be stopped by Gastly's black gaze, but unexpectedly, the black gaze was blocked by an unknown black aura.

This allowed Casey's teleportation to carry them away.

The place they were in was the same forest where Xia Yan had just entered the Spirit Realm.

Although the black mist helped block Gastly's black gaze, it wasn't necessarily good news.

This can only mean that there must have been some unknown entity present right beside them at the time.

The unknown is often more dangerous and mysterious.

Moreover, the opponent was able to easily withstand the black gaze of an elite-level Gastly, clearly indicating that it was stronger than Gastly.

Being targeted by such a mysterious entity is not good news.

"Casey, can you sense the 'anchor' points outside now?" Xia Yan asked.

Casey's strength has improved; perhaps she can lead them out.

Xia Yan had previously wanted to stay in the Spirit World and wait for the events in Golden City to pass.

But now it seems that the spirit world may not be much safer than Golden City.

Besides, Golden City has two kings in charge.

Casey slowly closed her eyes, and the last bit of life crystal powder on her hand was rapidly dissipating.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, and a bright blue halo swirled within them.

“Ke Xi”.

He nodded emphatically.

"Okay, let's go!"

They made the decisive choice to evacuate.

Ancienne put away Beedrill, Togepi, and Pidgeotto, and also put away Farfetch'd, reducing the number of people to lessen Casey's burden.

This teleportation takes a relatively long time to charge up.

Just as they were enveloped by superpowers and left, a dark shadow shot out from a distance and silently merged into Xia Yan's shadow.

puff!

The two people and the elf disappeared into the spirit world.

After a rather long period of spatial turbulence, Xia Yan and An Ci appeared in the residential area where they lived.

He collapsed to the ground.

My stomach was churning, and it took me a while to finally calm down.

Casey fell into a coma and landed in Xia Yan's arms.

“I’m back…” Anci murmured, looking around.

A familiar scene.

Xia Yan staggered and propped himself up.

"This may not be a good choice either."

Almost everyone could clearly sense the impending storm in Golden City. If Xia Yan hadn't felt that he was being watched by an unknown entity in the Spirit Realm, he might not have chosen to return at this time.

Anci nodded in agreement.

Just as Xia Yan was about to leave, An Ci called out to him.

"Xia Yan, do you know why I entered that underground tunnel back then?"

"Hmm?" Xia Yan turned around slightly, puzzled. "Isn't it because you got lost?"

Anci clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and said, "Getting lost is one reason, but it was also because this humble monk sensed an unusually large fluctuation of life energy that led me to approach that direction."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to indicate the most special string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan narrowed his eyes, his expression gradually becoming serious. "You mean, the biggest anomaly might be in that underground tunnel, beneath those dark ruins?"

"Yes."

"then you......"

"I said so."

Before Xia Yan could finish asking his question, An Ci answered.

He knew Xia Yan wanted to know whether the Alliance had been informed of this matter, and whether the two most crucial Heavenly Kings had been informed.

"That's alright, they'll take care of it."

"Do not."

Anci's expression was unusually serious at this moment.

He gestured again to the prayer beads in his hand, which were now shimmering with a faint light.

Although it was difficult to discern, one could still sense that the faint red glow was growing brighter and brighter.

Xia Yan's expression condensed.
