Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

However...

However, for the attribute "empty", it is unstoppable.

This is the end.

All three attributes: Empty - all have lost their ability to fight.

Seeing this, Zaobo breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it's stable now.

But the next second, his eyes widened in surprise.

"what you do?!"

Then I saw it.

Xia Yan flicked his arm, sending out three high-level balls that struck three creatures with the attribute "empty".

Since they had lost their ability to fight, they were naturally all subdued without a doubt.

Sylveon even handed Xia Yan a Poké Ball rolled up, looking like it was asking for credit.

"Bu-i~~"

Zaobo stared blankly as Xia Yan put away the three high-level balls before he finally reacted.

A sharp, piercing voice rang out, "This belongs to the Aether Foundation!"

Xia Yan glanced at him sideways and said in a calm tone:

“You are suspected of illegally creating Pokémon, violating the League’s regulations. Moreover, these three Pokémon are too dangerous, so I will keep them for you temporarily.”

"Then."

Xia Yan's eyes gradually turned cold, and his tone was filled with icy intent.

Staring at him, Zaobo instinctively backed away and fell to the ground.

"I need to know Ono's whereabouts!"

Xia Yan deliberately let Soroya overhear Lusamine and Zaobo's conversation.

Xia Yan was not very satisfied with their concealment of him.

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Ultimate Investigation Team

"What do we do? All three Pokémon have been captured by this Elite Four member?"

Kojiro looked at Natsuhiko as he put away the three high-level balls and murmured to himself.

"You bastard! How dare you steal my things! I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

Musashi, with his fiery temper, rolled up his sleeves and was ready to rush up and fight Natsuhiko to the death.

"No, meow!! Those are the Heavenly Kings! Those are the Four Heavenly Kings, meow!"

Fortunately.

As the strategist of the trio, Meow Meow desperately held onto Musashi to prevent her from doing anything foolish.

"Yes, yes! Musashi, don't be impulsive, those are the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Kojiro realized what was happening too.

He quickly grabbed Musashi tightly.

"What about the Four Heavenly Kings?! The Four Heavenly Kings can stop us from being promoted? The Four Heavenly Kings can... mmm... mmm..."

Meow Meow and Kojiro immediately covered Musashi's mouth and dragged her away.

Good guy.

They didn't want to experience the feeling of "how annoying" when they went head-to-head with the Four Heavenly Kings.

They just didn't know it.

The "Four Heavenly Kings" they were talking about were the same person as the highest-ranking official to whom they belonged.

Every word of their conversation reached Xia Yan's ears.

Xia Yan felt that way at the time.

Hmm, it seems Team Rocket has a mine they're going to mine...

...

"How...how did you know?"

Zaobo stared blankly at Xia Yan, and blurted out unconsciously.

As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized I had let something slip.

Xia Yan slowly straightened up, a fleeting glimpse of superpower flashing in his eyes.

The Philosopher's Stone given to me by Kikuko contains records of superpowers' ability to influence minds and spirits, which is quite remarkable.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had just acquired three creatures with the attribute of "empty", he seized the opportunity to strike at Zaobo's psychological defenses, leaving him with almost no ability to resist.

of course.

This is also largely due to the fact that Zaobo himself is not a person with a strong will.

"King Xia Yan, let me explain it to you."

At this time.

Lusamine, who arrived because of the "empty" attribute, also happened to hear this sentence.

Xia Yan raised his eyes and looked at Lusamine, who was walking towards him.

Behind her.

There are also two full teams of well-equipped members of the Aether Foundation's Operations Department, possessing considerable combat capabilities.

This is also one of the main armed forces of the Ether Foundation, and it is the reason why the Ether Foundation can maintain a high degree of autonomy after the Alliance moved in.

However, these people might pose a threat to Xia Yan from before.

But for Xia Yan now...

Unless the Ethereum Foundation's operations department mobilizes nearly half of its staff.

Or perhaps the Aether Foundation possesses some special power that he is unaware of.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be much of a threat.

Xia Yanxu squinted and gave Lusamine a deep look before his smile returned.

"it is good."

The two arrived at an office in Etherland.

They sat on either side of the desk.

Lusamine wisely refrained from asking Xia Yan how he knew about her conversation with Zaobo.

Xia Yan also tacitly refrained from pursuing the reason why she had concealed some things.

The two acted as if nothing had happened.

However, this time Lusamine showed enough sincerity.

"King Xia Yan, you are Gladio and Lillie's teacher, and also an honorary doctor of our Ether Foundation. You are one of us. And we always value our own people."

So the moment I received your message, I ordered all members of our Ether Foundation to search for your sister.

At the time, there was a gap in their social status.

But now.

The two can almost be considered equals.

even.

Because of Dr. Xia Yan's identity, his reputation, and his position in the alliance, Lusamine cannot really offend him.

after all.

The one that initially prevented the League from settling in the Alola region was their Aether Foundation.

This led to the raising of numerous demands.

The alliance has now moved in.

Lusamine couldn't guarantee that the alliance wouldn't betray her and retaliate.

If they can openly demonstrate their cooperation with Xia Yan, they can at least avoid the alliance's suspicions to some extent, allowing the Ether Foundation to develop better and more sustainably.

simply put.

The Ether Foundation wanted to use Xia Yan's identity.

This is to prove that their Ether Foundation has become integrated with the Alliance.

The model is equivalent to the relationship between Hoenn Alliance and Devon Corporation.

The difference is just that.

The Ether Foundation has a greater impact on the Alora region.

After all, the Aether Foundation has permeated almost every corner of the lives of all residents in the Alora region.

Upon hearing this...

Xia Yan nodded slightly.

"but."

Lusamine pushed a document in front of Xia Yan.

“There are some things that even our Ether Foundation may not be able to get involved in.”

Xia Yan flipped through the pages with a hint of doubt.

A hint of surprise and realization flashed in his eyes.
