Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The relationship between Ya Ya and the free-range chicken is definitely not as close as that between Xia Yan and Ling Youma.

If I really had to say...

Is this... a case of them appreciating each other?

So, we've become friends?

The reason why the Queen of the Lacecrown was not calm was...

Am I becoming a burden?

Chapter 182 Above the Champion, Lies the Legend

How did Farfetch'd get involved with Zapdos?

Xia Yan really couldn't understand this.

but.

Looking at the Scallop, riding on Zapdos's back, wielding its scallion spear and scallion shield with a rather smug air, and the Zapdos beneath it, who neither complained nor resisted, but instead seemed completely willing, Xia Yan knew this was the truth.

But I'm a little confused about how things unfolded and how they happened.

But judging from this situation...

It seems that Zapdos is no longer a threat for the time being.

As for the exact relationship between Duck and Zapdos, we'll have to wait until things have completely calmed down before asking them.

This was probably the only thing that made Xia Yan a little uncomfortable.

It's probably because he finally managed to tame the Spirit Horse after going through so much trouble and making so many promises, but his most handsome first appearance was stolen by Duck.

But fortunately.

When Xia Yan noticed that the Lady Crown King also had a somewhat blank expression, he felt a sense of balance.

Anyway.

There's still a backup plan, a guy who hasn't been tamed yet, isn't there?

Seemingly noticing Xia Yan's gaze and understanding the meaning behind it, the Lady Crown King surprisingly didn't get angry.

Instead, he asked in a somewhat stiff tone:

Where did you find this...talent?

After racking my brains for a long time, I finally found the word "talent" to describe Cong Youbing.

Xia Yan's cheek twitched slightly.

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.

After a slight pause, he said, "Do you believe me if I say it insisted on following me?"

Queen of the Crowns: [...]

"careful!"

They wanted to chat, but now was not the time for that.

The grumpy Snowstorm Horses wouldn't give them such a leisurely time.

The fierce and sharp ice spikes shot rapidly toward their location.

"Infernape, Beedrill, Alakazam, Dragapult!" Xia Yan shouted in a low voice.

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, the four elves immediately sprang into action.

From dealing with three legendary beasts at the same time to now dealing with a single Snowstorm Horse, it's much easier now.

and.

When facing the Snowstorm Horse, the Calycerin finally mustered all its remaining strength.

If this doesn't work...

It seems that it will truly disappear from this world completely due to the exhaustion of its power.

but.

Xia Yan, who still had many unanswered questions, naturally couldn't let the Lace Crown King fail at this crucial moment.

In addition to calling on the elves for help, he also went down into the arena with the Spirit Horse.

He wanted to try it.

How much power will the Spirit Horse, which has merged with his spiritual energy through the "Binding Reins," unleash?

If we say...

The one riding the horse is the Queen of the Rathalos, so it must be based on the Queen of the Rathalos's abilities.

But if Xia Yan is the only one riding a horse, then the main fighting force will have to be the Lingyou horse.

Da da da—

Then came the sharp sound of horses' hooves, which quickly faded away.

Legend has it that when the Crowned King rode the black horse, his spiritual energy merged with that of the Spirit Horse, granting it even greater spiritual power, enabling it to travel thousands of miles in a single day.

They once roamed the Galar lands together, restoring greenery to barren lands, and used their ability to see through all past and future events to save the forest creatures from a meteorite fall.

Therefore, the speed that the Spirit Horse displayed at this moment was much faster than when it collided with Xia Yan just now.

Riding on horseback, Xia Yan also received feedback from the Spirit Horse, which greatly enhanced his superpowers. He adapted to the speed and changes in an instant.

Simultaneously.

Xia Yan suddenly had a feeling...

He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread open.

As the superpower aura in his eyes suddenly burst forth, he uttered a low shout: "Star Shatter!"

"Hiss!!"

Accompanied by the neighing of the spirit horse.

A powerful and terrifying ghost-type energy suddenly erupted from the Spirit Horse and rose up.

Like a deep purple curtain, it covered the entire sky.

Within this pure ghost-type energy, countless glittering points of light, like stars adorning the night sky, flickered on and off.

next moment.

The stars in the "night sky" fell one after another, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, heading towards the snowstorm horse.

In an instant.

A deafening roar erupted, the ground collapsed, and dust and snow instantly billowed up.

boom!!!

The roaring sound was incessant.

This move.

This once again drew the attention of the Queen of the Lace Crown.

"Star Shatter" is a move it was once so familiar with.

But this time it was performed by someone else and the Spirit Horse, which made it feel somewhat strange.

However, to be fair...

The power of "Star Shatter" used this time is definitely not as strong as the "Star Shatter" used during the reign of Queen Raikou.

But for the current Snowstorm Horse, it's pretty much the same.

With the combined efforts of Beedrill and the others, Snowball finally experienced a severe decline in its condition.

【That's enough.】

The Queen of the Lace Crowns promptly called a halt.

After nodding slightly to Xia Yan, he stepped into the pale world released by the Snowstorm Horse.

The following.

It depends on its own situation.

However, Xia Yan was also curious about what method the Crowned King would use to tame the Snowstorm Horse, which seemed to have no "restraints".

Could it be...?

Once inside, pluck it from the snowstorm horse and then rub it by hand?

Xia Yan shook his head, trying to banish the images that unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

sizzle-

The Zapdos, its feathers rustling with faint electric arcs, carried Duck towards Xia Yan.

Seeing this scene.

You know what...

Xia Yan didn't find anything out of place at all.

Could it be that Zapdos has really become Duck's mount?

That would be fun.....

"quack!"

With its head held high, the Onion Soldier truly resembled a lone knight.

But his cool demeanor only lasted three seconds.

Under Xia Yan's gaze, it subconsciously chuckled and rubbed its nose, looking embarrassed.

"Alright. Duck, you did a great job this time."

"quack--"
