Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

next second.

"Xia Yan, Champion!"

It was louder and more inspiring than any before.

Is there any champion more reassuring and convincing than one who has earned the recognition of the four legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region?

"Quite a grand affair," said Cynthia, who was sitting in the chair next to Xia Yan, turning her head slightly.

Even she was somewhat shocked.

Xia Yan smiled and winked at her.

In other words, mythical beasts are quite concerned about ownership of a region; otherwise...

Let's call six more, high and low, to make it a round number!

At last.

Sinnoh League President and former champion Ingo Alexander makes his appearance.

Xia Yan was given a cape that symbolized his championship.

This is the end.

The Sinnoh region has officially changed its name to "Xia"!

This inauguration ceremony also shocked many high-ranking officials in the league.

All they knew was that Xia Yan had a good relationship with some mythical beasts.

But it's a mythical beast.

Everyone knows that.

Moreover, although there aren't many people in the League who are related to legendary Pokémon, there are quite a few over the years, and many people haven't paid much attention to it.

At most, it's the white dragon from the Unova region who comes to Shiram, and he has a relatively close relationship with Natsuhiko.

Who knew?

This time, four mythical beasts actually appeared to support Xia Yan at the inauguration ceremony.

That's fine.

Among them is Arceus, the creator god!

This great being has not appeared in the human eye for a very, very long time.

And with the conclusion of this inauguration ceremony.

Xia Yan's reputation has almost reached its peak in the Sinnoh region and even the entire Pokémon world.

The champion is Xia Yan.

It has become the pride of all Sinnoh people!

Chapter 161 The Former "God of Slaughter"?

"Is it him?"

"Yes. I had already guessed seven or eight parts of it, and now the appearance of Arceus is almost 100% certain."

"So here's the question. Given his relationship with Arceus and the three dragons, how could he possibly harm him in Sinnoh?"

"Be bolder. Mewtwo from the Kanto region, Lugia and Ho-Oh from the Johto region, Rayquaza from the Hoenn region, Reshiram from the Unova region, Zygarde and Xerneas from the Kalos region, Solgaleo and Lunala from the Galar region."

Which region do you think is suitable?

"..."

"I think you've forgotten something. Even if you could take action, he's already the Sinnoh champion and a Pokémon professor. With his popularity and approval ratings, are you sure you want to make a move?"

"The question now is not whether we should take action or not. Rather, he must already know we exist. Rather than waiting for him to come looking for us, we should strike first."

"Moreover, he's gotten too close to Ingor. I just don't believe that Ingor will be completely demoralized."

"But the most troublesome thing is actually his current reputation. Taking action against someone who is regarded as a 'hero' has consequences that must be taken into account."

"'Hero'? 'Champion'? Ha—that's not high enough. We can elevate him even higher, watch him build a towering edifice, watch him entertain guests from all directions, and watch his edifice crumble and his people scatter."

"Tell me about it."

"I've already made some progress. Once my investigation is completely finished, I might surprise you all."

"Actually, we can try a two-pronged approach. He didn't contact all the mythical beasts, not to mention... some mythical beasts are just empty shells."

"Go ahead and devise a plan. Let's talk about something else: how are the preparations going?"

"It's going smoothly. At least it seems to be going smoothly so far."

"Then speed up the pace and progress. There's no need to rush his problem; it won't cause much trouble."

"understand!"

...

The championship roster has been logged in.

"Teacher, I have already sent you the materials."

In the 3D projection shown by Porygonz Z, Professor Oak is holding a cup of instant noodles and working hard.

"Okay, sure. Slurp—"

After finishing a mouthful of instant noodles, Professor Oak let out a long, comfortable sigh.

He then said with a hint of apology and regret, "Xia Yan, I'm sorry, things suddenly got a bit hectic, and I couldn't make it to your inauguration ceremony..."

Xia Yan waved his hands repeatedly.

"It wasn't a big deal to begin with, just a formality, a little ceremony."

"A minor ceremony?" Professor Oak blinked. "Arceus is here, and it's still a minor ceremony?"

Xia Yan chuckled awkwardly and touched his nose. "Teacher, you know?"

"Yeah. My son and son have been sulking with me for a while now because they couldn't go to see it live, but we still watched the live stream. You didn't see the look in their eyes and on their faces when Arceus and the others appeared..."

"Speaking of which, in another year or two, Ash and Gary should be able to travel together, right?"

Xia Yan quickly changed the subject to avoid Professor Oak trying to get him to collect information on Arceus and the others to integrate into the Pokédex.

"It'll be soon. The top brass of the league has already given preliminary approval to the latest trainer regulations. Since you're already a champion, you'll probably be able to participate in the next round of regulations review. Now all that's left is the Pokédex, which is why I've been quite busy lately," Professor Oak explained.

Xia Yan suddenly realized.

"Then, teacher, please take a look at the materials I gave you when you have some free time. They should be of great help."

"Of course! If I didn't believe in your abilities, I wouldn't have... done this?!"

Halfway through his sentence, Professor Oak's voice suddenly rose several decibels.

"Uh...I guess so," Xia Yan said softly.

"You... you've practically done the work of the entire Pokédex all by yourself?" Professor Oak's expression turned strange.

"No, no, it's not that bad. There are still many shortcomings that need your review and revision, teacher."

He has appropriately abridged the national Pokédex data copied from the special episode world, so as not to make it stand out too much.

But judging from this, it seems that Professor Oak was still scared.

Professor Oak took a deep breath, looked at Xia Yan, and said solemnly:

"Xia Yan, you are amazing. Inviting you to join the Pokédex creation was the best decision I ever made. This is a tool that can benefit the entire Pokémon world and the development of the entire Pokémon League. I will truthfully report your contributions."

Professor Oak, who is already this old, would never take credit for Xia Yan's efforts.

Xia Yan still trusted Professor Oak's character completely.

However, in Professor Oak's view...

Once the Pokédex is published and Xia Yan's contributions are reported truthfully, he will once again leave a significant mark on the history of the entire League.

even.

It's not impossible for him to succeed Professor Oak as the absolute authority in the entire Pokémon research community.

This is the successor!

"Teacher, you flatter me, you flatter me..."

"Hehehe~~"

As Xia Yan was speaking, he suddenly saw a Gengar making a face slowly float out from behind Professor Oak.

He gestured with his tongue towards Xia Yan on the screen.

"This Gengar..."

Isn't that Kikuko's?

"Ah! Xia Yan, I have something to do. I'll talk to you another time."

Professor Oak noticed the sudden appearance of Gengar and hurriedly hung up the phone.

Watching the scene disappear.
