Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Chengdu seconds (whispering)."

"..."

As the final battle of "Road to the Champion" came to a close, the live broadcast stopped at the moment when Xia Yan walked up to Yin Geer and the two champions of the Sinnoh League, one old and one new, shook hands.

This scene represents the transition between two eras.

However, the discussions in the live stream room did not stop.

From the very beginning, there was praise for Xia Yan and admiration for the prestige of the championship.

Gradually, the tone of the discussion shifted, turning into debates across different regions about the possibility of Xia Yan transferring to other areas.

You know what?

Quite a few people have analyzed the possibilities.

For example.

Work is too busy.

As everyone knows, although Xia Yan was a superstar and a PhD, he has never been the kind of person who sticks to his job. He prefers to be a hands-off showroom employee.

Another example.

Cynthia went to another region to become the champion.

Hmm... there is indeed a certain probability that we can take Xia Yan away.

more than this.

Some people with darker minds, or those who like to vent their negative emotions online, have made a bold guess.

in case.

If the Sinnoh League doesn't like Xia Yan as a champion and wants to deal with him, and if the Sinnoh League doesn't dare to protect him, but other regions do, then Xia Yan might move to another region.

of course.

This statement was immediately met with a barrage of criticism from netizens.

In short.

The main reason is that Xia Yan's strength and ability have earned him widespread recognition.

do not forget.

In addition to just becoming the champion, he is also the youngest PhD in Pokémon studies.

in other words.

Of all the champions from various regions, he was the most knowledgeable.

Among all the professors in each region, he is the most powerful (excluding Professor Oak).

...

...

The internet was in an uproar, with the words "Xia Yan Champion" quickly dominating the trending topics.

Cynthia, Kikuno, Daiya, and others also rushed to the deepest part of this "Hall of Champions" as soon as possible.

However, characters like Wataru, Daigo, Lorelei, and Tsubaki are not allowed to enter due to their identities.

But when Cynthia and the others entered the dilapidated hall, they were struck by the overwhelming smell of gunpowder and were once again shocked by the intensity of the clash between the two.

To know.

This hall was built to the highest standards of a battlefield.

And now?

Apart from the basic outline, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a complete ruin.

This gives an idea of ​​just how intense and dangerous the clash between the two was.

And these.

These are things that cannot be experienced firsthand through live streaming.

Da da da—

Leather shoes clattered against the barely intact ground amidst the ruins as Cynthia and the others jogged through the lingering smoke and heat.

I saw the two of them.

Despite his pale face, Inger remained seated in his wheelchair. Although he looked terrible, the joy in his smile was undeniable.

And on the ground in front of him.

Xia Yan, who was completely exhausted, looked no better than him. His head was drooping, and he probably wouldn't have been able to lift it if it weren't for his arm supporting him.

But these two are weak.

At this moment, however, they were sitting there laughing and talking like very good friends.

Every now and then, a few soft voices, clearly revealing weakness and exhaustion, could be heard.

Cynthia and the others gradually slowed their pace.

do not know why.

They suddenly felt a pang of reluctance to disrupt such a beautiful scene.

Kikuno, standing next to Cynthia, looked at the beaming Ingor with a complicated expression and murmured, "He hasn't laughed this happily in a long time."

Kikuno's words caused Cynthia and Daiya to pause unconsciously.

After today's battle...

It's safe to say that Inger is definitely a person with a lot of stories.

However, those stories are most likely not things that people would want to remember.

"You little rascal, I don't know where you got that Zoroa from when it was in its green-washed stage. Its mastery of the 'illusion' ability is a bit too high."

Yin Ge'er laughed and scolded, "This time you've truly experienced firsthand how troublesome Xia Yan's tactics are."

And yet, it still doesn't look completely complete.

It's hard to imagine.

When Xia Yan has perfected this tactic and all the Pokémon in the system have reached their limits, how will he present himself to the world?

estimate.......

Being able to watch the whole thing without turning your head away would already be considered a success.

Xia Yan forced a smile and tried to raise his hand, but found that he couldn't muster any strength.

"Waaah~~"

Fortunately.

Soroya seemed to understand Xia Yan's intention. He lowered his head and crawled between Xia Yan's knees, hiding under his palm.

Her pink and soft tongue tenderly licked Xia Yan's wrist, her eyes and expression full of heartache.

"Waaah~~"

Zoroya twisted its head, just like Xia Yan usually did when he stroked its head.

However, before, Xia Yan would rub it with his palm to enjoy it, but now it has become the one taking the initiative to rub it.

Xia Yan didn't say anything upon seeing this.

Inger's eyes, however, seemed momentarily unfocused.

Feeling the soft fur of Zorua, Xia Yan said slowly, "This little guy has waited for me for decades. It has sacrificed so much. It has been slow to evolve, but its efforts have never stopped. This is the greatest reward and proof of its hard work."

Zorua waited patiently for decades, and its strength grew from a weakling to a Champion-level Pokémon.

It is easy to imagine how abundant and profound its accumulation is.

It was made by Xia Yan.

It's simply about helping it unleash what it has accumulated.

"Decades?"

Ingor's expression grew increasingly complicated as he gave a deep look at Soroya, who had an extremely close relationship with Xia Yan.

Then look at the few elves that were also dragging their tired bodies, but still tightly surrounding Xia Yan.

The emotion in his eyes grew even stronger.

"But guild leader, your Pokémon's teamwork is really impressive. It really caught my eye, and I have a feeling something's about to happen," Xia Yan said.

Upon hearing this...

Ingole smiled.

For some reason, Xia Yan always felt that there was a hint of bitterness hidden deep in Yin Ge'er's smile, beneath the relief and joy.

Ingor shook his head. "I'm getting old, and my health is declining day by day. The affairs of the Alliance are too heavy, and I don't have much time to spend with the elves anymore..."

Xia Yan was silent.

really.

The position of Sinnoh League President has absolutely hampered Ingo's progress.

As the president of the league, he has too many things to deal with, so where would he find the time to focus on Pokémon training like he does?

"Xia Yan."

Suddenly.

Yin Geer looked at Xia Yan solemnly and called his name.

Xia Yan also looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.

Making sure Xia Yan was listening attentively, Yin Ge'er said, enunciating each word clearly: "Never give up on your and your elves' perseverance and goals."

Persistence and goals?

Will we reach the top of this world?
