Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Daklaiyin curled his lip.

Speaking of that Darkley from Sachi last time, it's as if it wasn't dried and crushed by it.

"Whatever. Just to emphasize, he's not my underling; I don't have such a weak underling. If it were me..."

"A word is settled!"

Xia Yan made the final decision.

Daklaiyin: ? ? ?

Why decide?

"Tomorrow, Dakdo's Daklai is in your hands."

After a long pause, Daklai finally came to his senses.

No. Weren't you going to give those little Volcaronas a chance to shine?

Xia Yan shrugged.

"It depends on who the opponent is. If it were Ash, I would definitely send them out. But do you think that Darkrai, no matter how weak, could be a match for Volcarona?"

【Aren't there also beedrills and the like?】

"they?"

Xia Yan glanced sideways at Beedrill, who was training with Regice, Dragapult, who was honing its antimatter powers with Aegislash, and Togekiss, who was fighting with Sylveon and Ninetales for ice cream...

“Sending them would be too much of a bully,” Xia Yan said truthfully.

Daklaiyin was stunned again.

I counted on my fingers.

What does that mean?

Is it bullying to mate with Beedrill, but not to mate with it?

Equivalent conversion.

Is it weaker than bee bees?

Seemingly sensing Daklai's dilemma, Xia Yan patted it on the shoulder.

"I didn't say you're weaker than anyone else. I just wanted to say that the other side also sent out divine beasts, and we sent out divine beasts too. They're both divine beasts, so it's reasonable for them to fight on equal footing, right?"

Is that what you mean?

Daklai looked at Xia Yan's "sincere" eyes.

After a long while...

Shake his head.

Do not!

Based on Daklai's understanding of Xia Yan's personality, he always felt that there was something hidden in his words.

...

...

The next day.

The semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Tournament have officially begun.

Xia Yan and Da Keduo, the two favorites to win this tournament, will face off in the semifinals.

This is undoubtedly the biggest highlight of today's two matches.

Xia Yan's identity was gradually uncovered by netizens, and his strength and abilities became clearer.

Judging solely from his abilities, it's a bit unfair for him to participate in the Lily of the Valley Tournament.

What can be done?

This Lily of the Valley convention is full of hidden talents.

Not only are there top trainers like Xia Yan, but also trainers like Darko and Edas who possess legendary Pokémon.

Leaving aside Adas for now, his Seadra is also very strong, but he is still within the range of strength in this tournament.

Kedakodo is different.

From the beginning of this competition until now, he has only shown one Daklaiyan.

Whether it's 3v3 or 6v6, it's all from beginning to end.

No one has ever seen his second spirit.

And today.

The two "Tsutetendai" from this Lily of the Valley competition met.

From Silver to Master?

The audience immediately felt that today's match would be exceptionally exciting.

Neither Xia Yan nor Dakdo would be surprised if they won.

Even the Sinnoh region champion Cynthia, along with the Elite Four members, including Dale, Sho, Aryu, and Kikuno, all came.

This shows just how much attention it has received.

It was in this atmosphere that...

Xia Yan and Dakdo stood on either side of the field.

"Is Dakdo's target the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Wu Song, who had his legs crossed, closed his book, pushed up his glasses, and said...

"Probably."

Ah Liu shook the tuft of hair on her head, looking completely indifferent.

"I'm still more interested in Xia Yan. Denji said he's incredibly strong."

Da Ye's eyes were full of interest.

"I just received the notification yesterday. Xia Yan has applied to challenge the Battle Frontier Zone."

"Cynthia said quietly."

"Huh?! He's not going down the path to becoming a champion?" Da Ye's eyes widened.

“I’m not leaving.” Cynthia nodded slightly.

"Tsk, what a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Kikuno glanced at Daiya, whose face was full of regret. "Have you forgotten what you went through when you first embarked on the path to becoming a champion?"

Upon hearing this, Da Ye was immediately embarrassed.

After his first championship win, his opponent was Cynthia, who was then one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

The result...

He was shut out.

The kind that's brutally cruel.

For a champion of a major tournament to go on the path to becoming a champion is practically the same as giving away points.

He, too, only became one of the Four Heavenly Kings after a few years of silence following his victory at the Lily of the Valley Tournament.

"Da Ye's talent is already top-tier among trainers," Cynthia said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment, boss..."

Ok?

Da Ye suddenly realized something was amiss halfway through his speech.

Is this a compliment to him, or to Cynthia herself?

He was highly talented, but he was utterly crushed by Cynthia.

"here we go."

Wu Song's words interrupted their conversation.

Amidst the deafening cheers, Xia Yan and Dakdo, at the referee's signal, indicated that they were ready.

“Teacher Xia Yan,” Darko said with burning eyes, “I hope to see your true strength in this match.”

Is it true?

Xia Yan laughed dumbly.

"It shouldn't disappoint you."

Dakdo nodded solemnly, his expression serious.

Surely a man capable of riding Rayquaza can't be limited to just that level of strength?

"Go, Teacher Xia Yan!"

"

"Poga Poga!"

"

Xiao Lan, Xiao Huang, Xiao Guang, and Bo Jia Man waved their flower balls. Prantina, sitting next to them, also held a flower ball, but her face was flushed. The strict aristocratic etiquette she had been taught since childhood prevented her from cheering for Xia Yan as enthusiastically as Xiao Lan and the others.

"呲-"

Ah Jin was picking his ear, looking like the person next to him was being noisy.

He curled his lip and said, "It's just a Darkrai, acting like we've never seen a mythical beast before. If I, Arkin, were to fight, I could crush not only Darkrai, but even Arceus, believe it or not."

This drew scorn from the crowd.

just you?

Akin was immediately enraged.
