Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Garchomp called out to Xia Yan and Latios.

"Uh, sorry, I forgot you were here."

The Garchomp's sharp scythes rubbed together, producing a clanging sound.

Besides, you could have just swung the knife down already.

I glared at them, annoyed.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and left, gesturing for them to follow.

"Cynthia, please apologize for me later, okay?" Xia Yan said to Cynthia with an embarrassed smile.

Cynthia shook her head slightly, a smile on her face.

"Don't worry, it won't take it to heart. But Latios..."

She looked toward Latios.

Although Latios's strength and aura hadn't changed, he could still sense its difference.

That's what comes from a change in mindset.

Xia Yan gave a brief explanation, explaining that it was the impact of the Masters Tournament.

Cynthia was immediately inspired.

It wasn't just Xia Yan's Latios that was affected by the Masters Tournament; her Lucario and Gardevoir also felt somewhat guilty.

After all, this is the world of elves, where elves have their own independent thoughts and consciousness, and can experience all sorts of emotions.

And isn't regulating the emotions of Pokémon an important part of the process of training them?

I drew inspiration from Xia Yan and Latios.

Cynthia felt that she might need to increase the frequency and number of sparring sessions with Daemon and Gosho to help Lucario and Gardevoir regain their confidence.

That's a story for another time, of course.

Following Garchomp, we soon arrived at a steep mountain wall surrounded by a misty purple haze.

Dragon-type energy is exceptionally concentrated

On the mountain wall shrouded in purple mist, there was a huge "Dragon Crystal" embedded in it, radiating a dazzling purple glow.

and.

As you can see, many smaller "Dragon Crystals" are also "growing" around the "Dragon Crystal".

The "Dragon Crystal" that Cynthia gave to Xia Yan during the Masters tournament was one of them.

These are all "Dragon Crystals" formed due to the excessive concentration of dragon-related energy in the surrounding area.

"Baruya—"

Even the concealed Dorambaruto couldn't help but reveal his form.

Garchomp glanced at Dragapult but said nothing.

However, Xia Yan could sense that the dragon-type energy around him became increasingly concentrated as he approached the mountain wall.

An excessively concentrated dragon energy is not a good thing.

Because everything has its limits; too much of anything is as bad as too little.

Even dragon-type Pokémon might not be able to withstand excessive absorption of dragon-type energy.

Therefore, this mountain wall is a forbidden area for Dragon-type Pokémon in the "Dragon Tomb". Except for Garchomp and Regice, who used to guard this place, no one is allowed to enter or even approach it.

As Xia Yan watched Garchomp frown as it pushed aside the pure Dragon-type energy and climbed up the mountain wall, a thought flashed through his mind.

If the dragon-type energy here were used to tempt the dragon god pillar Regidorago, would it be tempted?

So Xia Yan asked, "Garuda, I might have a way to help you dilute the excessive Dragon-type energy here. What do you think?"

"Roar--"

The Garchomp on the cliff replied.

'Can!'

Xia Yan and Dorombalto exchanged a glance.

They both understood Xia Yan's meaning.

soon.

Garchomp is back.

He had something in his mouth.

Upon seeing the item being taken, Latios's eyes widened in shock.

Xia Yan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

What Garchomp held in its mouth was a seven-colored crystal about the size of a fist. The light within it was constantly flickering and undulating, as if it were foreshadowing something.

"Infinite crystals?" Xia Yan murmured.

He took the crystal from Garchomp's mouth.

He was very familiar with this crystal because Xia Yan had collected this "Infinite Crystal" condensed from "Infinite Energy" in Rayquaza's alternate dimension, which eventually became Latios's Mega Stone.

The one he's holding right now definitely doesn't belong to Latios.

Its owner is...

Latias!

That is... Ono!

Unexpectedly, Latias's "Infinite Crystal" was hidden in the "Dragon's Tomb".

Latios was born in the "Street of Meteors", and the "Infinite Crystal" of Latios is in the "Dragon's Tomb".

The "Street of Meteors" and the "Tomb of the Dragon" were originally one and the same.

Is there some unknown connection between these things?

Xia Yan looked at Garchomp, "Why is this 'Infinite Crystal' flashing?"

"Roar--"

This indicates that its owner is not in a normal state.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

"Os? Os!"

Latios, standing nearby, anxiously asked aloud.

Although it had forgotten its memories of its previous life, seeing this "Infinite Crystal" and hearing that its owner was in an abnormal state, it felt inexplicably agitated and anxious.

Xia Yan put his arm around Latios's neck, trying to calm it down.

He continued, "When did it start?"

"Roar."

"There was already something unusual when I sent Xiaona to see you, but the specific unusual things started about ten days ago."

Xia Yan nodded slightly.

It's been over ten days, and there haven't been any bad results yet, which means that Ono is relatively safe for the time being.

"Xia Yan, what's wrong? Do you need my help?" Cynthia sensed Xia Yan and Latios's condition and couldn't help but ask.

Xia Yan nodded without refusing.

"But we need to leave here first."

After thanking Garchomp, he led his Pokémon away.

Cynthia followed closely behind.

First of all.

We need to find Ono's movements.

She went to challenge the League of Legends tournament; finding her activity trail shouldn't be too difficult.

Chapter Sixty-Two Attributes: Full

"The Alora region, located in the tropics, is full of 'southern charm.' However, many areas retain their pristine state and are not suitable for tourism or vacations, such as Mount Ranakira on Ula'ura Island and the Haina Desert. Please be aware of safety..."

Xia Yan listened to the radio broadcast about the Alora region and felt the slight turbulence as the plane landed.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Little Sixtail standing on tiptoe, peering eagerly through the window.

Outside the porthole.

The sun was shining brightly and the weather was fine.

In the azure sea, the outlines of four islands came into view.

The towering Ranakira Mountains, the vast Boni Forest, the babbling hills with their terraced slopes, and the joyful Kalavi Bay.

The plane pierced through the clouds, gradually approaching the lush, river-networked Alora region.

Xia Yan silently took out a crystal-clear "Infinite Crystal", its seven-colored halo still shimmering.

and.

As we approached the Alola region, the frequency of the glowing halo around the barrier increased significantly.

This shows that the direction he was looking for was not wrong.

The reason Ono came to the Alola region was because after the Alola region opened, with the rapid establishment of the Alola League, the first Island Tour Tour was held immediately after the opening of the Alola region.

Xia Yan had also analyzed it with Latios.

The "Infinite Crystallization" is flashing normally, but the frequency is a bit off, indicating that Ono has not encountered any fatal threat. The most likely scenario is that he is trapped somewhere.

Latios was quite surprised when he learned that Ono was Latios.

However, after the initial surprise, there was also a great deal of worry.
