Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Xia Yan."

"Ok?"

While observing their surroundings, Master Du and Xia Yan did not stop talking.

"To be honest, what attribute do you think I should choose after becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Du's words.

Xia Yan looked at him with some surprise, revealing an exaggerated expression.

"No, we're just joking when we say you're a flight major, don't take it seriously."

If Wataru chooses the Flying type after becoming Uranus, that would be really fun.

It's really become a dodo bird.

"Besides, the Four Heavenly Kings of your Kanto Alliance are the most difficult to defeat. Mr. Shiba has been working hard for so long. You make it sound like you can defeat them easily."

But then a confident smile appeared on Du's face.

"I still have that much confidence."

His Dragonite is almost at the championship level, just a few months away.

With the addition of Super Charizard X, he's confident he can take down one opponent.

Xia Yan shrugged.

"Xia Yan."

"how?"

"You mean Altaria can also Mega Evolve?" Wataru couldn't help but ask.

Xia Yan glanced at him strangely, then smiled and said, "Yeah."

Miwatari seemed pleased with this.

They probably thought that Xia Yan could undergo a triple super evolution, and with his abilities and physical qualities, he could withstand it with some training.

However, Xia Yan added:

"Aladdin is a very powerful Pokémon, especially after Mega Evolution, it's practically the nemesis of dragons."

"The nemesis of dragons?"

Du was stunned for a moment.

Xia Yan didn't look at him, but just said to himself:

"Yes, after my teacher and I researched and observed, we found that the attributes of Altaria should change after its super evolution."

"Turn into what?"

It's not surprising that Mega Evolution changes a Pokémon's attributes.

After all, both Gyarados and Charizard underwent changes after Mega Evolution.

Xia Yan then said with a teasing tone, "Dragon type and... Fairy type."

"F-Fairy type?!"

Du's exaggerated voice, filled with disbelief, suddenly rang out.

"Yes, not only the type, but even the ability will become 'Fairy Skin,' which is the ability of my Sylveon. It's amazing."

Watari: "..."

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

In the future, he, the mighty Dragon-type Elite Four member, will undergo a Mega Evolution of a Dragon-type Pokémon, only to end up with a Fairy-type Pokémon instead.

Because of the emergence of the Fairy type, Dragon-type Pokémon trainers, whether intentionally or unintentionally, have developed some degree of aversion to this type.

Although Wataru wasn't exactly averse to fairy-types, this result still made him a little...uncomfortable.

"Wouldn't that make them fairy-type elves? That's... a dragon, a dragon..."

"traitor."

Xia Yan patted him on the shoulder earnestly and gave him a look that said, "Accept reality."

Du was immediately caught in a struggle with himself.

He wouldn't give up on Altaria because of this, nor would he stop Altaria from Mega Evolving because of it.

But the title of "traitor to the dragon race" is a bit... a bit...

A silence fell between the two.

"Xia Yan!"

"What is it now?" Xia Yan asked irritably.

"Don't you feel that the temperature around you is a little off?"

Du loosened the collar of his clothes and unbuttoned two buttons.

If his action had been in another place, it would have made people very likely to suspect that Xia Yan had given him something to eat.

But now...

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes and his mouth moved slightly. "If I only realized it after you reminded me, I would be too incompetent."

"You already found out?"

Look at your feet.

As he spoke, Watari subconsciously looked down.

Then I saw it.

In that trench of unknown depth, a faint red light flickered, as if something was wriggling within it.

As these red lights surged, the surrounding water flowed even more rapidly.

"magma?"

Du said with some surprise.

Xia Yan nodded slightly.

"It seems Daigo was right. For some unknown reason, a massive earthquake struck Crimson Island, causing huge fractures in the rock layers beneath the island, and magma flowed uncontrollably."

The blockage disrupted the ocean currents that normally surrounded Crimson Lotus Island, causing the surrounding waters to boil and rise, resulting in the turbulent waves around the island.

"Then all we need to do is seal up this crack, right?" Watari said thoughtfully, resting his chin on his hand.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."

Before Du could raise his question again, Xia Yan put his hand on Du's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, the scene he had scanned with his superpowers appeared in his mind.

Du was taken aback when he saw the situation below.

"Those are..."

"Wild elves, I suppose."

The appearance of lava in the sea is a catastrophic event for most wild creatures.

However, it's a different story for some powerful wild Pokémon.

Magma contains a great deal of minerals.

Especially in active volcanoes like Honglian Mountain, the magma beneath the earth's crust is constantly moving, containing even more minerals.

And these minerals.

It's not just a good thing for some Fire and Rock-type Pokémon.

It's also a good thing for these powerful wild creatures living in the complex ocean depths.

But if that were all, it wouldn't be enough to cause the scene that Xia Yan projected into Du's mind to appear.

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly said:

"I feel like these wild elves are being driven by something. Judging from their movements and postures, it seems like they are trying to rush into the lava."

As for why it can't be charged...

On one hand, it's because although water-type Pokémon are super effective against fire-type Pokémon, it's really difficult for them to rush into lava.

All they can do is keep churning the water to wash away the magma, trying to lower its temperature.

This further led to the situation in the waters surrounding Crimson Lotus Island.

On the other hand, it is because there seem to be some spirits active in the magma, resisting these water-type spirits.

Fire and water, the two sides actually started a war deep in the ocean.

After a moment's thought, Watari said, "Could it be Lugia?"

Lugia, the god of the sea, can also be called the god of ocean currents.

The presence of the three legendary birds—Zetzart, Articuno, and Moltres—has caused ocean currents to form on the seabed.

Lugia, who commands the three legendary birds, also commands all ocean currents.

Ocean currents are filled with a large amount of energy and minerals needed for life. If ocean currents are blocked for a long time, some areas may even gradually become dead lands.

Professor Oak explained this point in the original manga, "The Birth of Lugia".

"It's not impossible."

Xia Yan calmly reached into the inner pocket of his clothes and took out a long, thin feather.

The lower half of the feather was silvery-white, gradually turning grayish-brown in the middle, while the tip remained jet black.

Lugia has not yet fully recovered from the dark energy.

and so.

The likelihood of Lugia controlling these wild elves is actually quite low.

Who else can do that?
