Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xiao Lan was filled with despair.

It was just very quick.

She sensed surprise.

The ice crystals bypassed her and did not freeze her into an ice sculpture as she had imagined.

Instead, it spread and accumulated rapidly, covering the black hole that had appeared beneath her parents' feet.

even.

Neither of them caused any harm to her parents.

why?

The thought flashed through Xiao Lan's mind.

pat-

next second.

As the couple stepped over the hard, solidified, pale ice crystals, they came to her and embraced her in a warm embrace she hadn't felt in over a decade.

Xiao Lan was stunned.

They were stunned, not knowing what had happened.

However, she quickly realized what was happening.

After the invisible force that had been binding him disappeared, he immediately pulled his parents behind him and said seriously, "Mom and Dad, be careful!"

He reached for his waist and remembered that the spirits were still waiting for treatment at the spirit center on the Higapro.

His expression immediately became tense again.

just.

A bright white, elegant figure leaped over her head.

Its nine tails, spread out like a peacock's tail feathers, were as magnificent as a peacock's. Wisps of cold air emanated from its body as it stared intently at the black hole.

It's Teacher Xia Yan's Nine-Tailed Fox!

Xiao Lan instantly understood.

original.

The ice crystals from earlier didn't originate from the masked man, but from Teacher Xia Yan!

Xia Yan's sudden intervention immediately brought a long sigh of relief to Xiao Lan.

With Professor Xia Yan here, there won't be any problems.

Feeling the warmth of her parents' embrace once again, Xiao Lan's strength was instantly shattered by this warmth. Crystal tears streamed down her smooth cheeks like broken pearls, and she clung tightly to her parents' clothes.

She sobbed softly.

"Charizard, breathe fire!"

"Venusaur, Solar Beam!"

at the same time.

Crimson and Green, who had also realized what was happening, rushed to provide support immediately.

boom!!!

The layers of ice crystals shattered and scattered, and Charizard and Venusaur landed in front of Blue, standing on either side of Ninetales.

"Little Blue!"

Green and Crimson also came to Little Blue's side, their expressions serious.

Xia Yan's figure, however, slowly disappeared from the deck, enveloped in a thick black mist.

In a corner unnoticed by Xia Yan, Chi Hong, Qing Lü, and the others, an old woman dressed in shamanistic attire, leaning on a cane, was witnessing all of this.

Inside the pitch-black fourth-dimensional space.

Xia Yan saw yet another clone of Deoxys.

And at this moment, those around him...

That is Darkrai.

Xia Yan held the meteorite in his hand, his eyes gleaming.

Darkrai, Dark Cave!

Thick black mist floated around, and Darkrai stretched out his hand, his five fingers suddenly spreading open. A dark black hole suddenly appeared in the fourth-dimensional space and enveloped Deoxys.

Sensing the threat from Darkrai, Deoxys's form rapidly changed.

Its limbs became extremely thin, and it switched to speed mode.

The red and blue figures flashed by, avoiding the "dark hole" that was attacking head-on.

however.

Darkrai, with his cold expression, gave a soft snort.

Then the enormous black hole began to change, with dozens of smaller black holes shooting out one after another.

The dense "dark holes" directly blocked Deoxys's dodging range.

pat-

Deoxys, corrupted by the "Dark Hole," collapsed heavily to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

It has no self-awareness.

Sensing Deoxys's condition, Darkrai frowned, and his voice echoed in Xia Yan's mind.

"That's normal. It's just a clone."

As Xia Yan explained, he walked up to Deoxys.

The faint light emanating from the meteorite in his hand became even more dazzling.

An invisible "cosmic virus" is converging towards the meteorite.

“However, since it’s a clone, it must be connected to the original body. Can you sense its location?” Xia Yan asked.

Upon hearing this...

He slowly closed Clay's eyes.

The "Nightmare God's" mastery of dream abilities is unparalleled by most beings.

After a while.

Darkrai suddenly opened his eyes and slowly nodded at Xia Yan.

Upon seeing this.

Xia Yan smiled.

"In that case, let's go see the real Deoxys."

This completely destroyed the Deoxys clone, which then transformed into a large amount of cosmic virus and merged into the meteorite.

This makes the active fluctuations emitted by the meteorite more pronounced.

Something seemed to be brewing within it.

After quickly eliminating the Deoxys, Xia Yan returned to the deck.

I saw Little Blue hugging her parents tightly, and Crimson and Green with serious expressions.

"Ok?"

It seems to have a feeling.

Xia Yan turned his head to look.

At the corner of the deck, I saw that old figure, and I could faintly sense a threat emanating from her.

"Grandma Jimei?"

Xia Yan thought to himself, pretending not to see it.

Summon the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Then he said to the three red figures, "I've found some clues. Go investigate now and stay in touch."

That's all.

Without waiting for the three to reply, he put away his Pokémon, summoned Latios, and left.

Chi Hong opened his mouth, watching Xia Yan's departing figure, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a long while...

He then looked at Qinglu and whispered, "Are we... holding Professor Xia Yan back?"

Qinglv's expression wasn't very pleasant either.

Although he was too proud to admit it, that seemed to be the current situation.

Ding-dong—

At this time.

Grandma Jimei, who had been observing silently from the corner, finally came out.

He glanced discreetly in the direction Xia Yan was in, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness and concern.

But when he turned to look at the three red figures, his face returned to a broad smile.

Holding a tin staff.

"Seeing the two of you gives me a real boost. Maybe you two can inherit my ultimate move!"

Crimson, Green, and Little Blue looked at the old woman who had suddenly appeared and felt a strange sense of amusement.

“We have a long way to go. If it’s a prank, please find someone else, old lady.”

Upon hearing this...
