Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Uncle Liu and Juzi were waiting.

Wait until the last moment for the opponent to make their move, and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, even if they are very strong, they will not be able to find every single one of them. As long as they are not completely eradicated, they will eventually make a comeback.

Instead of wasting time doing that, it's better to let the other party reveal themselves.

They were convinced that no matter how things turned out, they could handle it with their combined strength.

This is the source of confidence for the two veteran Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region!

That's their pride too!

Chapter Eighty-Seven Bodyguards

"Roar!!!"

The fossil pterosaur, with its eyes bloodshot, flapped its wings and spewed flames from its mouth to burn the falling hailstones.

Their gaze fell upon the seemingly frail figure standing above Golden City.

At his feet stood a brown elf.

But the fossil pterosaur dared not underestimate that elf.

Because it could clearly sense the threat posed by the elf.

This hailstorm, which covered a large area, also originated from this elf.

However, the fossil pterosaur's mind is becoming increasingly chaotic, filled with a large amount of negative emotions, and the power contained within its body seems about to explode, forcing it to release it as soon as possible.

Liu Bo, who was standing on the membrane constructed by his superpowers, also noticed the condition of the fossil pterosaur.

Others may not know what kind of Pokémon this is, but as one of the Elite Four, he does know some information and data about ancient Pokémon.

The fossil aeroda was one of the first ancient Pokémon discovered by the League.

However, due to insufficient information, it has not yet been added to the Pokémon Album.

'This fossil pterosaur is not weak, and it seems someone deliberately put something in it, making it even more agitated.'

With this thought in mind, Uncle Liu smiled and stroked the brown fur of the long-haired pig beside him. "Then let's be a little more serious."

The Jynx, who had been staying below to defend against the wild elves, slowly rose up and came to his side.

Let me say hello first.

"Sister Mistletoe, Blizzard."

"Long-haired pig, icicle falling."

Then, Sister Mist smiled charmingly, her mouth slightly open, and a breath of cold air containing ice shards and snowflakes came out of her mouth.

Despite its seemingly light and effortless movements, it transformed into a fierce blizzard that swept across the entire sky as it swept towards the fossil pterosaur.

Ice crystals quickly formed on the fossil pterosaur's body, and the frequency of its wing flapping slowed down significantly.

Sensing the sudden drop in body temperature, the fossil pterosaur instinctively opened its mouth and spat out crimson flames.

This is a battle between fire and extreme ice.

However, it was obvious that the fossil pterosaur's jet flames were no match for the blizzard of the jawed lady. The flames were compressed to the extreme, and ice crystals continued to condense at the tips of its wings.

And just as the fossil pterosaur was confronting the nymph,

A massive, hexagonal icicle materialized out of thin air and hung high above the fossilized pterosaur.

Just as the long-haired pig exhaled two jets of air from its snot, the ice pillar fell vertically, striking the fossil pterosaur's body and causing it to fall uncontrollably.

boom!!!

The ground cracked, and icicles stood upright in the ground, but the fossil pterosaur was nowhere to be seen.

...

...

Watching Liu Bo's two elves effortlessly suppress the fossil pterosaur that had caused him so much trouble before.

Xia Yan deeply felt the terrifying power of Elite Four level trainers.

Compared to this moment, the previous exhibition match by the Heavenly King was truly just a performance.

It's purely for passersby to see.

Kikuko didn't even glance at the battle between Liu Bo and the fossil pterosaur. She didn't know much about Liu Bo's strength, but she was certain that the fossil pterosaur was no match for him.

She simply took Xia Yan and left the villa area, arriving at an alley.

It wasn't far from the villa where Xia Yan lived.

Then, he opened the sewer cover and jumped in.

Xia Yan's lips twitched, but he still followed silently.

"You recognize that fossil pterosaur, right?"

After entering the sewer, Kikuko asked.

"Ah."

“Its cave led me there.”

Kikuko stood still.

Then Gengar emerged from her shadow and walked to a completely enclosed sewer wall.

A dark light flashed in his eyes, and his palm rested on the wall.

The windlass——

The walls seemed to have melted, with some rock fragments rolling down.

Before them lay a dark, gloomy passage, strewn with jagged rocks, and marked with traces of wild elves' activity.

This is.......

Xia Yan's eyes narrowed.

No wonder Anci said that when he went back to the previous passage, he found that the passage had disappeared; it had been deliberately blocked.

There must be quite a few such passages underground in the entire Golden City.

Otherwise, those wild Pokémon would never be able to enter Goldenrod City.

The reason why Liu Bo and Ju Zi did not stop them was probably because they wanted to determine the location of these underground tunnels by observing the traces and distribution of these wild elves.

As long as the safety of the residents of Goldenrod City can be guaranteed, the wild Pokémon coming through these tunnels won't cause much trouble.

At most, it would make the League appear flustered, as if they had to gather a large number of trainers to drive away these wild Pokémon, thus lowering the enemy's guard.

Xia Yan observed three minutes of silence for those who tried to create chaos in Golden City.

They deliberately caused trouble when both Heavenly Kings were present.

Isn't that just turning on the light in the toilet?

Kikuko was the first to step inside.

He stood on the ground covered with debris and gravel, staring at the dark, endless unknown, his face grim.

"No wonder we can never catch these rats hiding in places like this."

The fact that such a tunnel exists beneath the vast city of Saffron City, and that the Saffron City Trainer Guild was unaware of it, and was instead taken advantage of, is not an exaggeration to call it a dereliction of duty.

Xia Yan pursed his lips, somewhat hesitant.

This matter is clearly beyond the scope of someone like him, a mere "new trainer".

Kikuko can be very casual.

But for him, every wrong step meant certain death.

But now that Kikuko is right in front of him, given her personality, if he refuses, she might hold a grudge, and he might even be labeled as "not prioritizing the big picture."

Kikuko immediately saw Xia Yan's concerns, but she didn't force him. She simply said slowly, "Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for your safety with me here."

That being said... it's more like setting a flag.

Moreover, Xia Yan felt very uncomfortable entrusting his life and safety to others.

How can I refuse?

"Never mind," Kikuko said again, as if she had made a decision.

Take out the Poké Ball and open it.

A Haunter appears.

"Ghost, you're in charge of protecting his safety."

As she spoke, Kikuko tossed all the Poké Balls to Natsuhiko.

“Heh.” Gastly nodded and slipped into Xia Yan’s shadow.

Xia Yan caught the Poké Ball in a daze, somewhat bewildered.

He hadn't expected this move.

This Gastly is definitely not as strong as Gengar, but it is certainly not weak either. I estimate that all of Xia Yan's Pokémon combined wouldn't be enough to defeat it with one hand.

It's probably a second-tier Pokémon for Aki, so it doesn't have much impact on her overall strength.

But for Xia Yan, this was an excellent bodyguard!

They even temporarily gave him all the Poké Balls, and Xia Yan could even decide when to put Gastly away, which undoubtedly gave him more autonomy.

Kikuko was trying to put his mind at ease.

As expected of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, they act with such magnanimity.

"Can we go now?" Kikuko's hoarse voice sounded a little impatient as she stood inside the tunnel.

She has already done so much. If Xia Yan still hesitates or has reservations, then her title as one of the Four Heavenly Kings did not fall from the sky.

"Okay."
