Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Within the dark clouds, countless golden and blue lightning surged and churned, occasionally striking down, causing immense destruction on the island and crashing into the sea, accompanied by countless water sprites floating belly-up.

The sea surrounding Crimson Lotus Island was even more turbulent, as if the undercurrent beneath the island had been completely broken, and the surging seawater had turned into towering waves, constantly crashing against the rocky cliffs of Crimson Lotus Island.

At a glance, one can see countless wild creatures, washed ashore by the sea, already lifeless.

This hellish scene is exactly what Red Lotus Island looks like right now, and it's the reason why Xia Yan and the others are stunned and bewildered.

Upon witnessing this scene, Du's face instantly darkened.

"How could Crimson Lotus Island have become like this?!"

As a Kanto native and a righteous person full of integrity, Wataru cannot bear to see such a scene.

Kona and Cynthia didn't look too good either, but their eyes revealed more pity and heartache.

Girls are always more emotional.

Daigo, however, though his face was somber, slowly said while resting his chin on his hand:

"It is very likely that a huge earthquake occurred, causing the lava of the Guren volcano to leak downwards, cutting off the ocean current beneath Guren Island, causing seawater to back up and surge, resulting in waves."

What he said did have some basis in fact.

At a glance, there are several huge, dark cracks on Crimson Lotus Island, clearly caused by an earthquake.

Xia Yan asked in a deep voice, "What about the situation of the residents on Red Lotus Island?"

At this moment, one of the Alliance investigators who had come with them stepped forward, his expression troubled:

"King Xia Yan, the area around Crimson Lotus Island is currently filled with a large and extremely destructive magnetic field, and the surrounding seas are completely impassable for ships. Some of the island's residents have already been evacuated, but some are still missing."

Xia Yan's expression darkened further.

But I held back my anger.

Just as the investigator said, thick thunderclouds covered the sky above Crimson Lotus Island, and the magnetic field generated by the accumulated lightning made it impossible for aircraft and other flying vehicles to get close.

Needless to say, the churning seawater was clearly not a place where ships could sail.

Therefore, the only way to disperse the island's residents is to have trainers take them away one by one.

just.

Given the current situation on Cinnabar Island, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary trainers to even get close.

If you get struck by lightning, you might be in danger yourself, let alone save others.

Crimson Island is primarily a tourist resort island, so how many of the League's top trainers are actually based there?

The closest landmass to Cinnabar Island is Pallet Town.

There are even fewer League trainers stationed there.

Beyond that lies Tokiwa City.

There are indeed quite a few Alliance troops stationed there.

Viridian City is one of Team Rocket's most active areas, so how many League forces would dare to leave?

Compared to Crimson Island, a crisis in a large city like Viridian City would be a truly enormous loss for the Alliance.

This has resulted in the rescue mission on Crimson Lotus Island proceeding slowly.

If Kikuko knew the current situation on Crimson Lotus Island, she would probably jump up and turn on her immediately.

Xia Yan estimated.

Those in charge of the Crimson Lotus Island area deliberately lied about the situation there in order to reduce their own liability.

However, the situation on Crimson Lotus Island far exceeded their expectations, leaving them in a difficult situation and forcing them to seek help from the Alliance.

But Xia Yan doesn't have time to hold these people in charge accountable right now.

The most important thing now is to rescue all the residents of Red Lotus Island.

As the person in charge of this mission.

Xia Yan led four people, including Watari, and a large squad of investigators that Kikuko had assigned to him, totaling about thirty people.

But with such a large number of people, there's more than enough for an investigation, but for rescue...

"Where is the nearest airship to Crimson Lotus Island?" Xia Yan asked.

“It should be in Tokiwa City,” the head investigator said hesitantly.

Xia Yan's tone became very serious, leaving no room for doubt.

"Now! Contact the person in charge stationed in Tokiwa City immediately and have him send an airship to rescue me!"

"But..." the head of the investigation opened his mouth.

But Xia Yan shut him down with a look.

"Am I negotiating with you? This is an order!"

When the head of the investigation made eye contact with Xia Yan, he quickly looked away.

Xia Yan then added:

“Tell him that I will go and talk to him in person in less than two hours.”

"Yes!"

The head of the investigation team was initially at a loss when he saw the situation on Crimson Lotus Island, but seeing Xia Yan, the person in charge of this mission, so firm in his attitude and so calm in his command, he felt reassured.

Although Xia Yan is young and has only been one of the Four Heavenly Kings for a short time, and is not even one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto Alliance, he is very convincing.

Perhaps it's because there are so many reports about him online, or perhaps it's because of what he did in Enoki City, or perhaps it's because of his achievements in the Masters tournament, that he seems to be no different from those veteran tennis stars.

At least, in terms of aura, there is not much difference.

"But what about that magnetic field?"

The investigator sent someone to contact the Allied forces in Tokiwa City, but then returned hesitant.

Xia Yan slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at Cynthia beside him.

The Cynthia Conference.

She pursed her lips and said:

"I'll give it a try."

After saying that, she flipped her hand while sitting on Garchomp's back, and a specially made Poké Ball appeared in her hand, which she then threw out.

"Reggie—!!"

With a shout that sounded like electronic music, Reggie Elegy, the God of Lightning whose entire body was made of lightning, appeared in mid-air.

After Regillech appeared, the surging magma in the dark clouds seemed to sense it and showed a faint tendency to move closer to it.

Then Cynthia said, "Little Electric, absorb all the lightning in the thunderclouds!"

"Reggie—!!"

Upon hearing this, Reggie Elegy let out a joyful cry, flapped his arms, and flew into the sky, surrounded by an electric magnetic field.

In a short time.

The magnetic field that originally permeated around Crimson Lotus Island gradually weakened.

The frequency of those lightning strikes gradually decreased.

can be seen.

In the dark clouds above, a golden figure shone brightly, flashing back and forth.

Wherever it passed, the traces of the thunderous liquid gradually disappeared.

Xia Yan nodded. In this way, the magnetic field should not have much of an impact on the airship.

However, this is only a temporary solution. To completely eliminate thunderclouds, we need to find the root cause of this phenomenon.

Otherwise, Regigi will eventually get full and stuffed.

However, it should be enough for rescue operations.

Xia Yan spoke again.

"Cynthia, you wait here for the airship from Viridian City to arrive and escort them in. We'll go to Cinnabar Island to check on the situation first."

"Ok!"

Cynthia nodded. Although they were both members of the Elite Four, she did not raise any objections to Xia Yan's idea.

He simply said, "Be careful."

Xia Yan grinned.

With his current strength, he has nothing to worry about unless a fathead fish suddenly jumps out of the sea.

After leaving a small team of investigators with Cynthia, Xia Yan patted Latios on the neck and flew swiftly towards Cinnabar Island.

After giving Cynthia a reassuring look, Wataru and the others followed closely behind.

"Everyone! Back off!"

At this moment, on Crimson Lotus Island.

Within the town, the town had been submerged by the surging waves of the sea.

On the second floor of a fairly spacious incubation house, many residents of Crimson Lotus Island gathered.

However, they looked very disheveled at the moment, all of them soaking wet and huddled in a corner on the second floor.

One wall of the incubation house had collapsed, and countless amounts of seawater and rainwater were pouring in from outside.

But none of these are the most important things.

Most importantly, three Gyarados with bloodshot eyes, ferocious appearances, and menacing expressions appeared at the huge gap.

The events surrounding Cinnabar Island resulted in the deaths of weaker wild Pokémon, while the stronger ones went berserk due to their fear of nature.

In particular, the Gyarados, which originally lived in the sea, completely lost its mind at this moment.

But it's alright.

A purple-haired youth stood before all the ordinary residents with his Pokémon, resisting the fierce attack of the three Gyarados.
