Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

He also recalled his time in Golden City.

That's the Shiny Charizard, nurtured from the lives of tens of thousands of elves.

How come that method of cultivation is so similar to the way they forcibly cultivate Doronbarut?

So he guessed that they were trying to replicate Eterna in that way, based on Dralongbaruto.

It was a failure.

They are still collecting vast amounts of life energy, perhaps for a greater purpose.

After all.

The Galar particles released by "Dark Night" are actually just a special kind of life energy that allows Pokémon to Dynamax.

Amidst these chaotic thoughts, Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle dryly.

"Just as Boss Sakaki said, Tomruchi is just an insignificant pawn in the opponent's hands."

The Hunter's Guild's ability to capture wild spirits and collect life energy is indeed insignificant compared to the chaos caused by their numerical disturbances.

This is a move that could be dispensable.

But it was a move that Xia Yan had been chasing for so long before finally seizing.

[You seem to have a lot on your mind?]

The Crowned Queen's majestic and profound eyes looked at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan nodded somewhat dejectedly.

I thought of far more than just a lot of things.

At that moment, he seemed to see a monstrous maw woven from countless forces and threads, its ferocious intent to swallow the entire elven world whole.

Even though he had become the Sinnoh Champion, he still seemed somewhat powerless when facing this giant mouth.

"So, what is a legend? How do you reach the legendary level?"

Xia Yan forcibly suppressed the sense of powerlessness in his heart and asked earnestly.

His current strength may still be inferior to that group of people, so he will become stronger!

Perhaps, becoming a legendary figure is his goal.

Rare Crown King glanced around at the Pokémon surrounding Xia Yan.

He nodded and said:

They all have a chance.

"Of course I know that." Xia Yan sighed, rubbing his forehead.

He still had absolute confidence in his elf.

But the key question is, how do you reach legendary status?

Growing up step by step?

Or are there certain conditions required?

But then he saw the Queen of the Lace Crown looking at him seriously and saying:

[Since it's a legend, its path cannot be replicated; you need to find your own way.]

Xia Yan: "..."

What you said is as good as saying nothing at all.

but.

Learning from the Crowned King that there are even stronger champions is enough.

As the Queen of the Crown said, legends cannot be replicated.

With hard work, luck, and opportunity, as long as he perseveres, Xia Yan doesn't believe his Pokémon can't reach that level.

But now his goal has become clearer.

The Queen of Lace didn't say much on this topic either.

The transfer was carried out quickly.

I know why you came to me, and I can tell you where the sword and shield are. But... do you really want to go find them?

"What do you mean?"

Xia Yan was startled.

I told you before, it's dangerous.

"The 'danger' you mentioned earlier, you didn't mean that I would be in danger if I helped you, but that I would be in danger if I went to find the sword and shield?" Xia Yan's mouth gaped slightly.

I can't say for sure whether I'll encounter danger while searching for the sword and shield. Just like what happened to me, I don't know when I'll run into trouble.

The Queen of the Lace Crown shrugged, looking quite helpless.

Some things are unavoidable. The outcome is already determined the moment you make a decision. You will encounter danger, perhaps because you are searching for the sword and shield, perhaps because you are searching for me, or perhaps because you have become the champion.

Even worse, it's because you didn't eat breakfast today.

Xia Yan: "..."

He gave a thumbs up.

"Your theory of cause and effect is... impressive."

I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like he was fooled by the Regina.

That's why I say knowing the future isn't a good thing. It makes you feel like a fool.

I feel like an idiot right now... Xia Yan thought to himself.

But soon.

The Queen of the Rathalos used her superpowers to create a location in Xia Yan's mind.

That should be the location of the missing, decaying sword and shield.

This is the end.

Xia Yan has already achieved all the goals he needed to find the Queen of the Brilliant Crown.

But he was given a lot of information all at once.

This has also caused him to have a very confused mind now.

Many things seem clear, yet they also seem hazy, veiled by a thin layer of gauze, making it impossible to see them completely.

Okay, I've told you everything you wanted to know, and everything you didn't want to know. What you do next is up to you.

After saying that, King Rai-King suddenly seemed very tired.

"Seeing" so many things from the past, present, and future is not a simple matter for it in the present.

Its source of faith power is still nonexistent; it needs rest and recovery.

"Wait, didn't you say before that you wanted me to help build a temple?" Xia Yan suddenly asked.

【Um? 】

No. Just one thing is certain.

After a brief moment of surprise, King Rai-King suddenly understood Xia Yan's meaning, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

[Remember to build the temple big.]

Xia Yan grinned and said, "Of course."

Here, take this as payment.

After a slight hesitation, the Queen of the Crane produced something that looked like a seed from somewhere and handed it to Xia Yan.

"This is?"

[A seed of spirit, but not for you elves, it's for you.]

"For me?"

[You can give it back to me if you don't want it. It's not particularly useful; it just helps enhance your superpowers and allows you to use the Spirit Horse's abilities more effectively.]

Faced with the Crown of Brilliance reaching out to take the seeds back, Xia Yan decisively and quickly put the seeds away.

It can enhance the mental strength of superpowered individuals; it's a good thing.

Xia Yan's ability to improve is mostly a matter of fate, and the daily increase is so small that it can be almost ignored.

Who could refuse the chance to become a humanoid elf?

The Queen of Lacecrown never intended to take it away.

He smiled.

In short, be careful.

Xia Yan nodded seriously.

He's already a champion.

The fact that the Queen of the Rai-Crowned King could warn him of the danger means that the level of danger must be ridiculously high.

Given Xia Yan's personality.

It's better not to know.

But now that we know, we must be fully prepared.

Everything that needs to be arranged should be arranged.

Watching Calyreth ride the Snowstorm Steed slowly toward the Crown Temple, Xia Yan suddenly asked, "Have you been to the Sinnoh region before?"

The Crowned King paused slightly.

Xia Yan's question was not answered.

Instead, he said:

[Your human Poké Balls cannot contain Ghostma. At least, the Poké Balls I know of cannot contain Ghostma's spiritual power, so there's no need to try any more unless you can find better materials to customize one.]
