Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yandu saw two veteran wild Pokémon that preferred to fight for the last remaining berry on a tree halfway up the mountain, rather than cross the mountain halfway and take another step forward.

It's clearly only a matter of walking past the mountainside.

There are vast orchards there, with plenty of ripe fruit to harvest, enough to feed an entire elven race.

Even so, they were unwilling to take another step forward.

It was as if taking just one more step would mean certain death.

at this time.

Xia Yan stood beside the obvious dividing line halfway up the mountain.

Looking at the mess behind him and the lush fruit trees in front of him, he fell into deep thought.

"The fact that wild Pokémon maintain this state can only mean that the area above the mountainside is the territory of a powerful Pokémon, so powerful that other Pokémon don't even dare to approach it..."

Xia Yan could only make this guess.

just now.

He hesitated, wondering whether to take another step forward.

After all, the tree in front of them is laden with fruit, many of which are quite valuable. If they could be harvested, it would certainly bring in a considerable income.

But he hesitated.

The fact that these wild elves are so wary of it means it's no ordinary creature.

"Forget it, let's take a look around first, and get a clear picture of the situation before we get closer. It's not too late."

In the end, Xia Yan decided to play it safe.

Let's wait and see.

So he started by walking around the dividing line on the mountainside, strictly adhering to its location.

This dividing line is quite easy to distinguish.

Slowly, Xia Yan moved from the south side of the mountain to the north side, circled around, and then returned to the vicinity of the due south side.

just.

What initially seemed to be an area without territorial boundaries changed his mind when he approached a huge cave.

"Roar--"

A loud roar echoed through the mountains and forests, its sound seemingly filled with an irresistible pressure. Many flying creatures immediately took flight, looking terrified.

Xia Yan's expression changed upon hearing the voice.

"coming."

Suddenly, a figure crashed through a tree trunk and rushed towards his location.

Its body is bluish-purple with many rhomboid structures and numerous red horns. Most importantly, its entire head is red, and it has a pair of not-too-large wings on its back, which do not seem to indicate that it can fly.

"A red-faced dragon?!"

Upon seeing the full form of the spirit, Xia Yan couldn't help but exclaim, accompanied by a somewhat strange expression.

It's not that I look down on this red-faced dragon.

only......

The title of "Shame of the Dragon Clan" is truly too infamous.

Moreover, even Ground-type Pokémon like Garchomp and Garchomp can fly, but Rhyperior, a Pokémon with wings, can't. What kind of logic is that?

To put it more bluntly, it's one thing for a certain elf not to be able to fly—after all, it doesn't have wings—but if it has wings and still can't fly... at least it has a "certain sword" to stab back.

Despite the complaints, the ferocious red-faced dragon in front of them posed a significant threat to Xia Yan and his Pokémon.

It's still a Dragon-type Pokémon, even if it's considered a "disgrace." It has a natural physical advantage, and its Dragon bloodline makes this red-faced dragon exceptionally robust, with skin harder than rock.

Just like some Pokémon that are only called "Dragon" and contain Dragon-type blood, their physical attributes are much stronger than those of ordinary Pokémon.

The person who claims to be a Dragon-type Pokémon trainer actually has very few Dragon-type Pokémon.

"Moreover, this aura..."

Beedrill, looking serious, approached Xia Yan discreetly, its wings crackling with electricity as it stood ready, clearly sensing the threat emanating from the red-faced dragon.

A very strong threat!

Casey also unknowingly came to Xia Yan's side, and her superpowers extended to gradually envelop him.

Togepi huddled in his arms, filled with fear.

"Elite level?!"

Xia Yan expressed his guess with some difficulty.

The elite-level Dragon-type Pokémon, Red-faced Dragon, was definitely beyond Xia Yan's expectations and also beyond the capacity of the Pokémon themselves.

"Roar!!"

Just as Xia Yan's mind was racing and the elves were on guard, the Red-Faced Dragon had already smashed through many tree trunks and was charging towards him.

Whoever said speed is this dragon-type's "shameful" weakness, Xia Yan will definitely have a good "talking to" him and see if he would still say such a thing in this situation.

That strong physique combined with that domineering posture creates an exaggerated sense of oppression.

With a roar of anger at the intruder, powerful claws, imbued with rich blue-purple dragon energy, swung fiercely towards him!

Dragon Claw!

"Hiss!"

Beedrill reacted the fastest, crossing its two stingers across its chest, a glowing green aura appearing on them, and launched a cross-shaped attack.

The green fluorescence clashed with the purple claws.

boom!!

A tremendous roar resounded.

Beedrill was blasted away and only managed to regain control thanks to Casey's superpowers.

Although the Red-faced Dragon's movements froze briefly, it stood firm, its fierce eyes looking at Beedrill with a hint of surprise.

Xia Yan also retreated along with the giant bee, glancing at it out of the corner of his eye.

The Beedrill looked rather disheveled, with three scratch marks on its once smooth and shiny stingers.

With just one collision, Beedrill was put at a complete disadvantage.

This was the first time Beedrill had encountered such a powerful opponent, and it was completely overwhelmed in every aspect.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Sorry, We're at it!

"Kashi!"

A spiritual space, extending outwards.

"Chocolate!"

Togepi also poked its head out from Xia Yan's arms, waving its glowing little hands, and specks of crystal slowly drifted down from the sky, soaking into Beedrill's body.

Morning light!

Although the island wasn't very well lit, it was at least south-facing and situated on a relatively open mountain. While the morning light didn't have its full effect, it still provided some healing benefits to the bee bees.

In addition to the Morning Light move, Togepi also cast Wish and Lucky spells on Beedrill.

Red-faced Dragon's attack is quite powerful; if it hits a vital spot, it could very well instantly kill Beedrill.

Furthermore, the three abilities of Reddragon—Rough Skin, Steady Strike, and Mold Breaker—are all excellent. It is currently unknown what ability this Reddragon has, but regardless of which one it is, Beedrill, which is already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, will have a tough time defeating it.

Furthermore, both Abra and Togepi are only of the Excellent rank. Even with their synergy and support, it would be very unwise to try to fight the Red-faced Dragon by crossing two major ranks.

So you can only see Beedrill.

If given the chance, Xia Yan might try to capture this red-faced dragon. Whether he sells it, uses it as a "temporary" fighting force to protect himself, or shows it off to Du, all of these would be good options.

Of course, this is under the premise of having an opportunity. If the difference in strength is really too great, then you can only run away.

However, this red-faced dragon's combat instincts were not low.

Seeing the expanded Psychic Terrain and Togepi's continuous support moves, it didn't give Beedrill a chance to use "Swords Dance" to stack buffs. With its heavy and thick legs, it charged fiercely towards Beedrill.

A bluish-purple aura emanated from its sharp claws once more, and a powerful blow fell.

Having already experienced the strength of the Red-faced Dragon, Beedrill dared not take the attack head-on. It quickly flapped its wings to dodge, leaping with arcs of electricity and creating faint air currents as it narrowly avoided the Red-faced Dragon's attack.

And Beedrill finally found its tiny weakness and advantage.

speed!

However, Beedrill's speed advantage is not very significant. It can barely be used as an escape tool in an emergency, but it is too difficult to defeat Reddra with its speed advantage.

The difference in strength is quite significant, and even with the support of Casey and Togepi, it cannot completely bridge the gap in raw power.

Perhaps, if both Abra and Togepi could be upgraded to Senior level, the double support might temporarily boost Beedrill's strength by a small margin.

But now...

hum-

The giant bee flapped its wings to dodge the dragon's claw attack and flashed behind the red-faced dragon, trying to find a way to fight back from behind.

Cross the two needles, aim the cross-shaped shears at the red-faced dragon's back, and cleave straight out.

However, the red-faced dragon seemed to have anticipated this, its thick tail twitching, carrying purple dragon-type energy, and a dragon tail attack was unleashed.

"Togepi!"

Xia Yan frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

"Chocolate!"

Togepi understood, its whole body glowing with an attractive white light, and it winked playfully at the red-faced dragon.

Big brother, look at me...

Red Dragon's gaze and attention were indeed drawn to Togepi, but because the difference in strength between them was too great, and Red Dragon's willpower was not weak either, his body only stiffened briefly before his tail continued to lash out like a powerful whip.
