Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

It was over in seconds?!

That was done in seconds?

call--

With a swing of his lance, a gash was torn open in the thick cloud of dust that rose up.

Then, the pristine white-clad soldier, untouched by a speck of dust, slowly emerged from the ruins, one hand gripping a spear, the other holding the unconscious Guai Li.

Snapped--

He threw the strange strength onto the street, tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle, and looked up at the sky with a look of aloofness in his eyes.

That's it?

Upon seeing this "lone knight," the residents of Su Chuan Town erupted in a thunderous cheer.

Meanwhile, the "lone warrior" Cai Dou's eyes were fixed on Cong Youbing, her fighting spirit growing stronger.

"Oh my god. (I've been tricked by the duck.)"

Looking up at the duck, which was tilting its head back at a 45-degree angle with an air of "I am very proud", I couldn't help but say something.

Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Let it hold its position for a while. I just don't know how long it will last."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the equally enormous Gigantamax Gengar on the other side, which seemed to have opened a gate to the spirit world, and said softly:

Latios, cleanse the light!

Upon hearing this...

Latios immediately dropped his joking expression.

"Os!"

A soft shout.

A milky white light, filled with a sacred aura, instantly condensed in its mouth.

The scattered beams of holy light shone on every corner of Suchuan Town, dispelling the rampant ghostly shadows.

The light shone on the residents of Suchuan Town, freeing them from their restraints and instantly bringing them a sense of warmth from the heart, a warmth that had enveloped them in coldness.

For a time, people's attention may have been focused on Cong Youbing.

But this time, people finally noticed Latios and Xia Yan, who were gradually appearing in the clouds high in the sky.

Latios?!

This is a mythical beast!

Someone actually managed to ride on the back of a mythical beast?

"That, that's, that's Xia Yan! He's the champion of the Sinnoh region, Champion Xia Yan!"

Finally, some people who pay attention to the internet recognized Xia Yan, who had been at the center of the controversy for some time.

"Is it really Xia Yan, the champion?! I'm a fan of his!"

As more and more residents of Suchuan Town came to know of Xia Yan's existence, people began to recognize him.

Although the Galar region is not yet open, like the Alola region, the network was fully connected before the region was officially opened.

Therefore, in the Galar region, a region that is enthusiastic about combat, Xia Yan, the "tactical master", is highly regarded.

of course.

It was inevitable.

While some people approve of Xia Yan, others will inevitably dislike this young man who has gained so much attention.

So during this period of online controversy, some people spoke up for Xia Yan, while others criticized him.

But at this moment.

Regardless of which side the residents of Suchuan Town were on before, they are now Xia Yan's most loyal fans!

"Xia Yan is the champion!!"

"Xia Yan is the champion!!"

"..."

"Os!"

Latios's eyes flashed, and the accumulated energy surged out instantly. A bright and holy beam of light pierced through the thick clouds with a "whoosh" and shone on Gigantamax Gengar.

"Jie!!"

In an instant.

The holy light stained Gigantamax Gengar white, and as a faint charred black appeared on its body, intense pain instantly overwhelmed its consciousness.

Wisps of crimson Galerite particles, visible to the naked eye, drifted out from its body.

The Gigantamax Gengar's appearance also shrank rapidly at a visible speed.

wow——

If we say...

Previously, Farfetch'd's one-shot kill of Gigantamax Machamp had made the residents of Backtown hold their breath, but this time, Latios' one-shot kill of Gigantamax Gengar left them feeling only deep shock.

It seemed that the outcome of this overwhelming power and clash of strength was inevitable.

Simply because.

Here comes the champion!

Listening to the thunderous cheers of the residents of Fangsu Town and seeing their relieved expressions, Xia Yan patted Latios's neck, signaling it to go down.

Latios did not hesitate.

Fold in your wings.

A rapid fall occurred in Su Chuan Town.

"Don't leave in a hurry."

Xia Yan, who had just climbed off Latios's back, smiled and placed his hand on Onio's shoulder.

He could clearly feel his body tremble involuntarily the moment he touched Onio.

Onio turned his head shakily to look at Xia Yan, who was all smiles, and stammered:

"Xia, Xia, Xia, Xia Yan, Guan, Guan, Champion..."

Compared to the terrifying Ghost-type Pokémon Gengar, Onio is more afraid of humans.

But Xia Yan simply grabbed his shoulder, preventing him from leaving.

In this regard.

Onio was completely helpless.

Even the chubby little purple guy behind him could only manage a sheepish grin when he saw Xia Yan, his mind churning with turmoil.

This person... is terrifying!

Even without Latios, Gengar felt a strong sense of threat from Xia Yan, the kind of threat posed by a powerful Pokémon.

It was as if the opponent would lose their ability to fight with just a slight wave of their hand.

Although Gengar thought this intuition was absurd, it really didn't dare to do anything out of line.

Even his usual mischievousness has subsided considerably.

Xia Yan and Onio stood there, watching the residents of Su Chuan Town quickly surround them.

He became increasingly uneasy and anxious.

at this time.

Onio missed his coffin bed so much.

He wanted to hide in a coffin.

whoosh-

in the crowd.

The girl with superhuman strength moved nimbly, leaping and flipping a few times to reach the front of the crowd and running towards Xia Yan.

"Humanoid Super Strength" Rainbow Bean.

"quack--"

Along with them came Onion Soldiers.

It had a mournful face.

Xia Yan and Latios finally managed to steal the spotlight, but it was all stolen the moment they appeared.

The duck is suffering inside, but it doesn't say anything.

"Champion Xia Yan." Cai Dou stood in front of Xia Yan and called out, her face expressionless.

Looking at this tenacious girl who had lost her smile, Xia Yan nodded slightly.

"I want to challenge you!"

Cai Dou answered without hesitation, her eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit.

"Playing against those stronger than yourself is key to growth." "Even if you have no chance of winning, you should do your best to achieve a draw." This is the educational philosophy that Cai Dou was instilled with from a young age.

"Sure. But we'll have to wait."

Xia Yan, unusually, did not refuse the challenge.

He looked again at the growing number of residents of Suchuan Town who had gathered there.

Facing their eager, grateful, admiring, and guilty gazes, Xia Yan said loudly:

"Sorry everyone, there have been a lot of Dynamax rampages in the Galar region lately, so I'm late."

"No! Champion Xia Yan, you're clearly not the champion of our Galar region, yet you were the first to arrive to rescue us. If it weren't for Champion Xia Yan..."
