Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Of course, of course."

As Xia Yan echoed, he subtly glanced at Ma Shide's disciples.

Emperor Dan is not here.

Among the small group of disciples, Xia Yan ignored those wearing matching yellow jackets, his main attention lingering a little longer on the two oddly dressed individuals.

Seemingly noticing Xia Yan's gaze, Ma Shide smiled and introduced:

"They are Lala and Sai Sai, and their goal is to become an excellent gym leader. For now, they will train with me."

Little Lala? Little Sai Sai?

After a moment's hesitation.

Xia Yan looked slightly enlightened.

It turned out to be the two of them.

They are Clara and Saiboli, the two rivals of the protagonist in the Pokémon Sword and Shield expansion, The Isle of Armor.

Clara is skilled in poison-type attacks and appears to be super cute, but she is actually quite cunning and a typical "green tea" (a manipulative woman).

Because she wanted to gain more attention, her goal was to become a gym leader, and because she felt that there was less competition among Poison-type Pokémon, she chose the Poison type.

Of course, he eventually recovered under Mash's training and became a gym leader as he wished.

Saiboli is skilled with Psychic-type Pokémon because he himself is a Psychic user.

He comes from a prestigious family with superpowers and has been responsible for being the head of a psychic gym since childhood. His psychic abilities are also very strong.

However, he has been unable to master special abilities such as "teleportation" and "mind reading" for a long time, which makes him less popular.

Furthermore, Saiboli has a very strong sense of pride. Whenever he loses a battle, he uses his superpowers to levitate his opponent and tease them, thereby soothing his own pride.

Ultimately, of course, he was also reformed by Mastedt.

Xia Yan hadn't expected that Ma Shide would take these two in so early.

Listening to Mastedt's introduction.

Clara immediately smiled sweetly at Xia Yan, putting on an adorable, innocent girl's expression.

'If I can gain the attention of Champion Xia Yan, I can become famous quickly even if I don't become a gym leader, right?'

after all.

Xia Yan's popularity in the current Pokémon world is undeniable.

Saiboli glanced at Xia Yan and forced a somewhat stiff smile.

Sword Comes

But Xia Yan seemed to see resentment in his eyes.

Both are superpowered individuals.

Saiboli admitted that he was not as strong as Xia Yan, but he did not think he would lose in terms of superpowers.

"I sent Xiaodandan to pick you up. But it looks like she didn't manage to get you," Ma Shide said belatedly.

Xia Yan looked away.

"No. Master Ma, where do you get the confidence to let Dan Di come and pick me up himself?"

"Haha—it was Xiaodandan who volunteered. But it's okay, Xiaodandan will be back."

Masde waved his hand dismissively.

Having such a master and such a disciple, it's hard to say whether Ma Shide and Dan Di are unfortunate or lucky.

The group strolled along leisurely.

As they walked, Mastedt gave Xia Yan a brief introduction to the specific situation of the Isle of Armor.

For example, that was Challenge Beach, where there are many Fighting-type Pokémon or other wild Pokémon waiting to find opponents. Standing on the beach means you are ready to be challenged at any time.

It's no wonder that the "combo-style" martial arts bear master attacked without hesitation upon seeing the Onion Shallot.

It was simply excited by the sight of its prey.

For example, the place they are going to now is called "Yili Plain".

It is also the location of Ma Shide's martial arts school.

There are also some houses scattered around, which can be considered as the infrastructure on Armor Island.

On the "Yili Plains", there are several elf "nests" scattered around. If you enter one, you will be attacked by the wild elves living there.

It is the place where Ma Shide's disciples usually train and improve their skills.

Just as Xia Yan and his group were walking towards the "Yili Plain".

In the dense woods not far away, a small, agile creature covered in gray-beige fur leaped between the branches.

But its small face revealed a strong sense of persistence and a hint of irrepressible curiosity.

This curiosity was mainly focused on Sirfetch'd and Infernape, and also partly on Xia Yan.

It was actually one of the many Pokémon that were watching the intense clash between Urshifu and Infernape.

However, it is small and not very conspicuous.

The Martial Arts Bear Master has always been its target for defeat.

So it's not surprising that they're curious about Infernape, which can even frustrate a martial arts master.

Buzzing sounds—

Neither thick branches nor thin branches can become an obstacle for it to overcome.

Judging from this one aspect alone.

You can tell from this that the little guy has considerable fighting skills and strength.

"Khalil, could you please go and pick up Dandan? He heard that Xiaxia has arrived and is eager to come back."

Ma Shide put away his old-fashioned mobile phone, hung up the phone, and said.

"Hahaha—no problem."

Taxi driver Khalil didn't mind at all; he simply enjoyed flying around with his Steelraven, relishing the experience of flying and admiring the scenery along the way.

Without hesitation, he urged the Steel-Armored Raven to fly into the sky.

As it flapped its enormous wings, it created gusts of air.

"Kuh?"

"Gah?"

The changes in airflow and forest brought about by the gust of wind allowed Infernape and Farfetch'd to vaguely sense the subtle movements within the dense forest.

Look at the little guy who has been following them all the way.

The Infernape's sharp gaze, the Sirfetch'd's slightly curious look, and the shockwave from Corviknight's attack made the little guy's heart tighten. He stumbled and fell straight down from the tree.

"Kuku-kukuku-"

The little guy waved his arms, watching the ground getting closer and closer, and the branches in the dense bushes. He quickly closed his eyes and covered his head with his hands.

just.

After a while.

However, they did not feel the pain of hitting the ground for a long time.

Eh?

The little guy opened his eyes in surprise.

It was then that it realized it had inexplicably stopped less than an inch from the bushes.

His entire body was suspended in mid-air.

Then it wobbled and shifted in one direction before finally landing steadily on the soft ground.

The little guy sitting on the ground tilted his head, scratched himself, and patted his cheeks.

It's not a dream.

what's the situation?

"Ku!"

Oh no! Don't lose them!

After pondering for a long time without reaching a conclusion, it suddenly had a sudden realization.

He quickly patted Yuan Dudu's bottom and stood up.

Xia Yan and the others were about to disappear into the depths of the dense forest.

"Ku!"

The little guy pulled his long, white hair tight, like pulling a white headscarf, and instantly became full of fighting spirit.

It leaped onto the branch again and hurried after them.

As for Xia Yan and his friends.

Ma Shide glanced at Xia Yan, whose expression remained unchanged, with a smile, his eyes sweeping through the dense forest, but he didn't say anything.

He knew what Xia Yan had just done.

Apart from Masdee.

As a fellow psychic, Saiboli also sensed Xia Yan's psychic power fluctuations.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Xia Yan held a hint of surprise.

How can you control it so easily from such a distance without changing your expression?

Saiboli suddenly realized that, even in terms of superpowers alone, he seemed to be no match for Xia Yan.

Not long after.

Ma Shide's martial arts school finally came into everyone's view.
