Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan bent one of his fingers.

"The enemy is in the shadows, while we are in the light; it won't be easy to find them."

Daigo gently put down the cup in his hand and said.

"Waiting for the enemy to come to the spear pillar at Tianguan Mountain is not a good option either. An enemy that is fully prepared will only be more difficult to deal with. Waiting for the enemy to come to the spear pillar is always the worst choice."

Cynthia's slender fingers rubbed against the cup as she analyzed the situation.

"Therefore, intercepting the Galaxy team here in Binhai City would be the best option."

Xia Yan finalized the most important direction of the response plan.

"And the best way is to determine the Galaxy's target."

Daigo continued combing downwards in that direction.

"And to determine their target, we need someone who knows Binhai City best..."

Cynthia added more.

With each of the three people speaking, they quickly and thoroughly clarified the sequence and direction of events.

At last.

The three of them looked up at the same time.

"The Gym Leader of Binhai City!"

...

...

"Huh?!"

Prantina, accompanied by a slightly sickly-looking young man, found Xia Yan and his two companions.

This young man was one of her two friends, Pal, who witnessed the "Galaxy Bomb" drying up the entire Lizhi Lake with a single shot at Lizhi Lake.

Cynthia had met Plantina and Par, and even gave them some guidance.

After a brief introduction, we all got to know each other pretty well.

Pal was quite surprised that Plantina had befriended three people: Hoenn Champion Steven, Xia Yan who was comparable to a Champion, and Sinnoh Champion.

With two and a half championships in one go, what's there to fear from the Galaxy?

"Teacher Xia Yan, you said you want to challenge the Binhai Dojo? Now?" Prantina was somewhat taken aback.

Aren't they tracking Team Galaxy?

How did it turn into a gym challenge?

"Prantina, Pal, can you get in touch with Dia?" Xia Yan asked.

Both of them shook their heads simultaneously, their faces showing worry.

Dia entered Team Galactic's spaceship alone, leaving behind several Pokémon.

There's been absolutely no news about her, which has made the two of them very worried about Daiya's situation.

really.

Given Chi Ri's level of caution, even if someone did manage to infiltrate, they would absolutely be unable to transmit any messages.

Xia Yan, who should have had some connection with Arknom, was also unable to sense Arknom's presence.

Clearly, the Galaxy team's protective measures were quite good.

Therefore, the plan to directly visit their home can be abandoned.

Only through electricity can the Galactic Team's target be found.

Then, following their lead, we find them.

This is the only way.

of course.

Cynthia immediately relayed this information to the Sinnoh League.

The alliance has begun sealing off the area around Mount Tianguan.

just.

The Tianguan Mountain Range is so vast that even the Sinnoh League cannot completely seal it off.

All the league can do is try to hinder the Galaxy team as much as possible when they appear.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances from occurring during Xia Yan and his group's plans in Binhai City, they will have enough time to reach Tianguan Mountain.

"You want to save Daiya, you want to help him, right?" Xia Yan asked again.

Prantina and Par nodded simultaneously, their heads bobbing like they were pounding garlic.

"Then..."

Xia Yan looked at the technologically advanced building in front of him, which was also the only building in Binhai City that was still brightly lit despite the current power shortage.

Seaside Dojo!

With a forceful push of both arms, he directly opened the door of the seaside dojo.

"...Give the headmaster of the Binhai Dojo a good beating!"

The strongest Gym Leader in the Sinnoh region, right?

Are you preparing to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings?

You're bored because the challenger is weak, right?

I wonder if you, Xia Yan, can withstand my pressure?

Chapter 123 Never, ever, provoke, this man!

Binhai Dojo.

As Xia Yan pushed open the door, the scene inside the dojo left those who entered speechless.

The enormous gears whirred and clicked, with golden lightning-studded discharge pillars emanating thick currents running through them.

On top of the gears, there are paths for people to walk on.

Judging by this situation...

To enter the dojo, you must make these gears rotate in a certain pattern, connecting the paths on the gears into a single line to reach the dojo.

"So that's where Ma Zhishi learned those electric discharge columns from."

As Xia Yan thought to himself, his gaze fell on the hunched back of the figure sitting dejectedly on the steps of the entrance passage to the dojo.

Just look at that silhouette from behind, and those fluffy, golden hairs.

It's definitely Yong who's bringing girls along.

Hearing the commotion, Denji slightly raised his head, his back to them, and lazily said, "Another gym challenger?"

She stretched languidly, a couple of tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, and yawned.

"I've already left the badges by the door. Take them if you want them."

As he spoke, he shook the coat hanging on his shoulder and slowly stood up.

He scratched his blond hair and continued.

"Even though this dojo setup has been built, it still doesn't interest me at all for weak challengers. Everyone... is just too weak."

Watching Denji lazily muttering to himself, Daigo couldn't help but glance at Cynthia.

That look seemed to say, "Is this the strongest Gym Leader in the Sinnoh region?"

Cynthia rubbed her forehead, her face full of helplessness.

Although Denji's appearance makes it hard to believe that he is a powerful trainer.

However, Cynthia can still acknowledge Denji's strength.

after all.

The alliance has approved the "Four Heavenly Kings Challenge" letter submitted by Denji.

Soon, Denji will face one of the current Elite Four from the Sinnoh region in a Champions Tournament!

The victor will become the Heavenly King, while the loser will be excluded from the position of one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

In fact, every region offers this opportunity to gym leaders.

If you serve as a gym leader for five years, you will get a chance to challenge the Elite Four.

just.

Denji has indeed gone a bit too far lately.

While the Sinnoh League was preparing for the Lily of the Valley Tournament, a Gym Leader from the Sinnoh region was handing out badges right at the entrance.

This has led to widespread skepticism regarding the quality of the Lily of the Valley tournament in the Sinnoh region.

Prandina and Par couldn't help but exchange a glance.

They had heard of Denji's great reputation after they started challenging the gyms.

But I never expected this.

The strongest gym leader in Sinnoh is actually like this.

Xia Yan placed one hand on Pal's shoulder and the other on the young lady's head, leaned down, and said with a smile:

"Watch closely, I'll show you how."

The two nodded in unison.

Prantina has absolute confidence in Xia Yan's strength.

Parr was curious about the kind of strength that allowed someone to interact with two champions on equal footing.

"Denji."
