Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Chako, I—!"

! ”

The sharp cry of the Pokkiss instantly echoed throughout the vast snow-covered landscape.

Many of the ice-type spirits living there originally wanted to come and see what was going on outside when they heard the commotion.

But upon hearing Pokkis's sharp, angry, pig-like screams, none of them dared to peek out.

too horrible!

Seeing Togekiss with his hands on his hips, Onion Soldier turned pale and waved his hands as he retreated.

"Stop messing around, Tokiss."

At this time.

Xia Yan's timely intervention interrupted the two elves' playful antics.

"Gah!"

"

My benefactor!

Cong Youbing looked at Xia Yan with tears streaming down his face. Because of nervousness, the snot flowing from his nose froze into two caterpillars that hung on his face, but he was unaware of it.

“Cha, chako, chakodouyi…”

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Pokkis looked aggrieved, his head drooping, his watery eyes filled with glistening tears.

Judging from the situation...

It could slip at any moment.

behave in a spoiled manner!

Upon seeing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

Even though I knew that this was just a show put on by that little guy Tokiss, I still couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

This is probably why Pokémon is so successful everywhere.

This little movie star.

Xia Yan shook his head helplessly and could only say, "Okay, okay—I'll buy you one later when we go downstairs."

"Cha-cha-ke-yi?"

Really?

Pokkis blinked, and the tears in his eyes receded by half, but not completely.

"When have I ever lied to you?" Xia Yan sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Chakoi!"

I want it iced!

Okay~~

Xia Yan's words carried a hint of helplessness, but more than anything, they were filled with doting affection.

It's overflowing with pampering.

"Gah?"

What about this one?

At this time.

Seeing that Togekiss was no longer angry, the Onion Soldier cautiously stepped forward to probe.

“Chakoi”.

I don't want it anymore.

Pokkiss curled his lip, looking disgusted.

No, I don't want it anymore?

But after a brief moment of stunned silence, Cong Youbing's eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling and "terrifying" light.

it.

It's like discovering a new world!

original.

You can actually get free food and drinks this way?!

Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat when he saw the duck's expression.

he knows.

Oops.

The duckling has completely mastered its new skill.

Xia Yan twitched his lips and tentatively asked, "Yaya, how about I buy you a new one later?"

"Gah? Gah gah!"

But Cong Youbing refused with utmost righteousness and conviction.

As a warrior, it chose to follow Xia Yan, enjoying top-tier energy cubes from Xia Yan every day, but rarely made any outstanding contributions in battle. Possessing "warrior pride," it would not want such "food."

Xia Yan held his forehead.

Again.

Sometimes, the chuunibyou duck's thought process is a bit flawed, and Xia Yan can't persuade it otherwise.

it's good now.

Duck has completely embarked on a "path of no return".

Holding the iced watermelon, it was so refreshing to eat.

Girls from Pokémon are usually quite reserved about these things, but Duck... a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) duck, he won't be bound by such petty rules.

Listening to the sounds of ducks enjoying their food, Pokkis secretly swallowed.

Iced watermelon is so delicious...

But Xia Yan said it's not good to eat too much iced watermelon.

Eating too much can cause obesity...

With the mindset of "out of sight, out of mind," Tokiss approached Natsuhiko.

What are we doing here?

Xia Yan didn't hide anything from Pokkiss's doubts.

He casually remarked, "Invite some guests."

"Chako (guest)?"

Pokkis tilted his head and looked around.

All that could be seen was a vast expanse of white snow, or snowflakes dancing in the air; there was no sign of human presence.

Could it be an Ice-type Pokémon from Mount Tianguan?

Xia Yan plans to gather a large group of Ice-type Pokémon, and then, led by Ninetales, make a big splash at the "Champion Inauguration Ceremony".

Pokkiss's eyes gradually brightened, and even twinkled with tiny stars.

Just thinking about it makes me think it would be really cool and sensational.

It must take a photo with the ice sculpture at that time.

To everyone's surprise, Xia Yan explained, "Yes, I wanted to ask Arceus and the others if they were free to attend my 'Champion Inauguration Ceremony'."

Pokkis's expression froze instantly.

"Cha-Cha-Kui?!"

Arceus?!

It knew that Xia Yan and Arceus had a good relationship.

But it doesn't know exactly how good it is.

But there is one thing it knows.

Arceus, that's the creator god, practically a god-like being.

Invite Arceus to attend the "Championship Inauguration Ceremony"?

After a brief moment of surprise, the glint in Tokkis's eyes shone even brighter.

He was so excited that his body trembled slightly.

What a huge scene that would be!

It, Pokémon, loves big scenes!

In Xia Yan's last match on the "Road to the Championship," although his performance with Pokémon wasn't particularly outstanding, his "Life Drop" alone was enough to help the whole team regain their form.

He received a lot of praise, which made Pokkis very happy during this period.

If they pull off another big move at the "champion inauguration ceremony," that would be something to look forward to.

"arrive."

Xia Yan stopped in his tracks.

Raise your head.

at this time.

They are at the summit of Mt. Coronet, the site of the Pillar of Spear, or more accurately, the ruins of Sinnoh.

The howling cold wind, mixed with the biting, icy snow, swept past them.

"Chakoi?"
