Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The vibrant, delicate flowers bloom atop the frost-covered giant tree, lending it a touch of desolate beauty.

perhaps.

When the Crested King was at the height of its power, this tree was covered with these flowers.

But now.

It is precisely because of its rarity that its preciousness is all the more apparent.

Just getting close.

Xia Yan felt as if all the pores on his body had opened up, and the fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days was swept away.

The faint, crystalline pink mist that lingers above it is like countless strands of life.

the most important is.

Xia Yan felt the "binding reins" placed in his arms, reins mixed with the petals of the Brilliant Flower, which seemed to have some special connection with the flower, emitting a faint warmth.

boom!

!

Behind them, a violent roar erupted.

That champion-level long-haired troll really valued this flower, and when it saw Xia Yan approaching, it completely unleashed its power.

"roar--!

"

With an angry roar, it broke free from the entanglement of Togekiss, Sirfetch'd, and Aegislash, and charged headlong towards Xia Yan.

As a champion-level powerhouse, it's indeed a bit difficult for it to be stopped by three Togekiss members who are only at the Elite Four level.

Even.

Upon seeing the flower, Togekiss displayed its remarkable enthusiasm, at one point rendering the hairy troll immobile.

However, the difference in their strength made it difficult for Togekiss to maintain stable control.

The long-haired troll seized a moment of weakness and broke free.

only.

After breaking free, the hairy troll did not continue to entangle with Togekiss and the others, but rushed towards Xia Yan, or rather, towards the last remaining "flower of life".

Xia Yan remained motionless, merely gazing at the vibrant flowers with azure aura power emanating from his eyes, a hint of realization on his face.

"I see."

He gently raised his hand, placing his palm, radiating a hazy aura, on the trunk of the giant tree, and murmured to himself:

"This tree was planted by the Brilliant King from its own seed. Its complex and dense root system covers the entire Crown Mountain, making it the most powerful helper for the Brilliant King to nurture the entire Crown Mountain..."

Several images appeared in Xia Yan's vision through the connection of the wave guide.

One scene in particular was especially shocking.

Riding a black horse, the Crowned King stood before the giant tree, slowly raising his right hand and placing it on the trunk, just like Xia Yan had done.

In an instant.

On the once bare giant tree, fresh green branches and leaves sprouted, slowly unfurling amidst the swirling clouds and mist. In the crystalline green light, pure vitality began to spread wildly.

Through the complex and dense root system of the giant tree, this surging vitality is transmitted to the entire Crown Snowfield.

In an instant.

All the plants on the Crown Snowfield were nourished by the energy of the Crown King, and they grew rapidly, sprouting roots and turning a lush green color that instantly covered most of the Crown Snowfield area.

Followed by.

These plants, nurtured by the Brilliant Crown, reciprocate with their excess, abundant, and absorbed vitality, also through the roots of the giant tree.

It is precisely because of this feedback that bright and beautiful pink flowers bloom on the emerald green giant tree.

This is the power of the Calycanthus!

This is the power possessed by the Crowned King, who is known as the "King of Abundance".

This was also how the former Queen of the Brilliant Crown existed in the Crown Snowfield region.

It nourishes all plants.

And it is only after all the plants have received its nourishment that they reciprocate, allowing this giant tree to bloom with vibrant flowers.

This flower represents the gratitude and love of all the plants on the Crown Snowfield for the Crown King.

just.

When the Crowned King lost its faith and its power gradually faded, it never came here again to nurture the life of the entire Crown Snowfield.

but.

The plants throughout the Crown Snowfield, those still struggling to grow, have never forgotten everything the former Crown King had done, and they yearn for the return of that "King of Abundance".

and so.

Scattered across the Crown Snowfield, the remaining plants, besides leaving behind enough energy to barely sustain their own growth, continue to feed back all their excess life force and vitality through the roots of the giant tree.

Hopefully, their faint but combined energy will help the Crested King recover.

Unfortunately.

What the Bridal King lacked was not this vitality, but the power of faith.

This also meant that the flowers that these plants on the Crown Snowfield painstakingly nurtured became the most important treasures for the hairy trolls.

of course.

The hairy trolls were certainly unaware of this; they only knew that the abundant life energy contained within the flower was of great benefit to them.

These are all scenes from the past preserved within the giant tree, which Xia Yan obtained using the power of waveguide.

He slowly opened his eyes and sighed silently.

Looking up at the flower, he slowly said, "At least, your trust and love for the Brilliant Crown prevented it from completely disappearing."

Do plants have life? Do plants have beliefs?

of course!

Having witnessed the "Tree of the Beginning of the World," Xia Yan firmly believed this.

His waveguide power is also the ability to communicate with all things in the world.

As it turns out, this tree still retains certain functions and capabilities after all these years.

Xia Yan gently patted the tree trunk again and assured him, "I will help you, I will help you bring the Crested King back."

rustling --

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

After Xia Yan finished speaking, a gentle breeze swept by, and the branches of the giant tree seemed to sway, with some of the heavy snow covering it falling away.

card!

Then there was a crisp sound.

The only vibrant flower growing on the giant tree had its stem broken off. The flower, like a butterfly in flight, slowly drifted down from the sky and finally landed precisely in Xia Yan's palm.

Seeing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay. Then I'll accept this payment."

at the same time.

The long-haired troll, rushing towards them, was momentarily stunned to see the flower float down into Xia Yan's hand. After a brief moment of surprise, the cunning in its eyes vanished, and its final ferocity erupted.

"Roar!

"

With another roar, he rushed toward Xia Yan, his speed increasing even further.

in fact.

Xia Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with the hairy trolls' behavior.

After all, for wild elves, utilizing all available resources and seeking out all necessary resources to enhance their own strength and the strength of their race is the very law of survival.

Even when sensing the giant tree through its waveguide power, it showed no dissatisfaction with the hairy trolls picking the flowers the previous times.

hum-

A red light flashed, and the Poké Ball on Xia Yan's waist opened on its own.

On the path of the hairy troll's "ambush," a large bee with outstretched wings, crackling with fine electricity, appeared and intercepted it.

Purple mist swirls around, and long needles pierce straight through.

Poisoning attack!

boom!

!

Amidst a dull roar, the hairy troll staggered backward, staring incredulously at the suddenly appearing Beedrill, also astonished by Beedrill's strength.

Furthermore, poison-type moves are twice as effective against hairy trolls.

"Hiss!"

The giant bee let out a soft shout, and a hint of excitement flickered in its scarlet compound eyes.

Although this hairy troll is a wild elf, it is probably the strongest wild elf it has ever seen.

呲——

The two long needles rubbed together gently, producing a sharp, tooth-grinding sound. At the same time, its wings trembled slightly, and the Beedrill's form suddenly disappeared, transforming into a golden arc of light.

Upon seeing this, the long-haired troll's expression turned serious.

But the next second, a look of cowardice and fear appeared on its face.

He adopted a begging posture, slightly bent his knees, and knelt down on the ground.
