Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

With the help of the dim light, Xia Yan could see that the ground in this space was covered with stone blocks that looked like coffins, arranged here without any pattern.

Simultaneously.

Xia Yan finally saw the white figure clearly and its identity.

"Demon Coral?"

Her pure white figure exuded a sense of holiness, which contrasted sharply with her scarlet, malevolent eyes. She still retained the general shape of the sun coral, but without a specific outline. Her whole body seemed to grow on a broken shell underground.

At first glance.

It looks like a snow-white coral growing in a flowerpot.

Coral is a Pokémon that evolves from the Galarian form of Coral.

It is said that...

The Corsola in the Galar region was originally normal, but it was suddenly struck by a meteorite, which caused a drastic change in its environment, leading to its death. It eventually became a Ghost-type Corsola.

The coral-like branches they grow are not solid; they are merely double images, and touching them will not cause pain or additional damage.

However, these branches will burrow into the body of the person they touch and absorb their vital energy, rendering the person unable to move.

When the Galarian form of the Sun Coral absorbed enough energy, its spiritual power overflowed from its body, transforming it into a form consisting only of a soul. In the end, its physical form was reduced to a small, flowerpot-like structure.

They are somewhat similar to the Flower Rock Monster; their physical forms are now just the broken shells at the bottom, with swaying white coral-like structures on them, all of which are spirits.

Xia Yan never expected to encounter the demonic coral in the Crown Snowfield.

And judging from this situation...

It's likely that this Demon Coral is the leader of the Ghost-type Pokémon in this cave.

Of course, this magical coral itself possesses considerable strength.

Ghost-type Pokémon, with their long lifespans, are the easiest to accumulate strength in places where humans haven't been for thousands of years or even longer.

Therefore, this Demon Coral is a Heavenly King level!

Therefore, it can easily block attacks from Volcarona and Salamence.

just.

The Coral Spirits are not particularly violent spirits. As long as you don't provoke them, they rarely attack on their own initiative.

But just now...

As soon as Xia Yan entered, the demonic coral attacked him.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, things would have become very troublesome.

Just because the intrusion broke their slumber?

"Waaah~~"

At this time.

Dark mist swirled beneath Xia Yan's feet, and Zoroya leaped out from his shadow.

He murmured softly to Xia Yan twice.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Such a strong aura of resentment?"

resentment?

Whom do you resent?

When Xia Yan looked at the demonic coral in mid-air again, he saw intense hostility in its scarlet eyes.

Furthermore, this hostility was not directed at Volcarona or Mega Salamence, but only at him.

A thought flickered in my mind.

So... is it humans who are the source of the resentment?

Shouldn't this place have been untouched by humans for a very, very long time?

Or perhaps... their resentment is directed at the humans who once roamed the Crown Snowfield?

"Waaaaah~~"

Zoroya stood in front of Xia Yan and shouted something to the demon coral in mid-air.

Only it could truly understand how intense the resentment within this cave was, and the reason Xia Yan's superpowers couldn't spread deeper was also because of this resentment.

Despite Zoroa's attempts to ease the tension, Corsola and the surrounding Ghost-type Pokémon remained unmoved.

"jingle--"

A crisp sound rang out from the Demon Coral, and instantly a surging, terrifying, and gloomy aura swept through the entire cave.

The dense ghost-type energy here feels almost tangible.

Xia Yan's expression tightened slightly as he brushed his hand across his waist.

Aegislash and Draco appeared at their side.

Meanwhile, Aegislash and Dragapult, both Ghost-type Pokémon, also sensed the intense Ghost-type energy permeating the area.

only.

Unlike Aegislash, which was on high alert, Dragapult was momentarily stunned upon appearing.

For some reason, it felt a little familiar.

same.

The appearance of Draco also caused a brief stagnation in the Ghost-type Pokémon and the tangible Ghost-type energy within the cave.

Xia Yanming keenly noticed the unusual behavior between the two.

He couldn't help but squint slightly.

Some seemingly unrelated pieces of information surfaced in my mind, yet they appeared to be connected.

However, this sluggishness is temporary.

The attack from the Demon Coral came quickly.

All I saw was...

An eerie red light emanated from its body, and its entire form and state revealed an unpredictable and mysterious nature.

Then you see its red eyes staring intently at Xia Yan.

In an instant.

An aura filled with resentment enveloped Xia Yan.

Such an attack, without any energy fluctuations or warning signs, was something even Dorambaruto couldn't stop.

As this aura enveloped them, Xia Yan finally understood what the Demon Coral had done.

curse!

They directly unleashed the strongest "curse" upon him, the trainer!

When she saw the red light of the "curse" completely disappear into Xia Yan's body, the Demon Coral finally showed a look of relief.

Once "cursed".

Even if the spirit that cast the curse is defeated and loses its ability to fight, or even dies, it cannot stop the continuous damage caused by the "curse".

But next second.

The Coral Spirit was stunned.

After "Xia Yan" disappeared into the red light of the "curse," his figure slowly dissipated like a bubble, turning into a hazy white mist that spread around him.

"Phew—a Ghost-type Pokémon that harbors such hatred for humans is really dangerous."

Xia Yan, holding his hat, slowly emerged from the white mist, looked at the Demon Spirit Coral, and slightly grinned.

Just now.

If it weren't for the illusion created by Zoroya's "illusion" that took the brunt of the Demon Coral's "curse" in his place, given the intense resentment in this place, the "curse" would have at least taken half his life, if not killed him.

Otherwise, how could Kikuko be considered almost invincible in open field battles, and why would anyone want to fight her in the wild?

With her "Ghost Army," Agatha Christie possesses the mysterious and unpredictable abilities of Ghost-type Pokémon. Even trainers of equal skill might not know how they died.

Ghost-type Pokémon have countless ways to make someone disappear without a trace.

just now.

Xia Yan was essentially facing a "ghost army".

"Since persuasion has failed to calm you down, I'll have to resort to some rather primitive and physical methods."

Xia Yan's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a sharp voice.

He didn't want to be cursed again by some Ghost-type Pokémon for no reason.

Then I saw him wave his hand.

His counterattack had begun.

Volcarona, Mega Salamence, Aegislash, and Zoroar responded to Xia Yan's command immediately.

just.

Dorombalut's condition, however, was somewhat off.

Xia Yan frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Doronbaruto, what's wrong?"

Dronbalut, who was jolted awake from his daze by Xia Yan, was startled, then hesitated and slowly said:

"Baruya... (I feel like this place is familiar...)"

"Familiar?" Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

Dorombalto nodded slightly, his narrow eyes gazing into the darkness, and murmured to himself.

"Barua... (There seems to be a companion inside...)"

Upon hearing this...
