Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"I don't know. It may be affected by an unknown magnetic field. The specific reason is still under investigation."

Upon hearing this, Binena hesitated for a moment.

He said, "It's alright, let's keep going. Before these instruments and devices were available, sea voyages relied solely on experience and intuition."

As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on his face.

The crew behind her looked at Binena with strange expressions and suspicion.

"Captain, are you sure?"

"Of course! As a pirate with seven or eight years of sailing experience, I have that much confidence. Full speed ahead! Let's go get little Wenwen!"

...

...

"First, we need to summarize the reasons for this defeat."

Inside the woods.

Xia Yan sat down on the ground, looking at the elves in front of him.

in fact.

If Beedrill is given enough time to buff itself, it might not be able to defeat the Red-faced Dragon, but in terms of attack alone, it could certainly injure the Red-faced Dragon.

Using a strategy of trading blows for blows, combined with Abra's help and Togepi's support, they should be able to wear down Red Dragon if nothing unexpected happens.

However, such tactics pose a huge challenge to Beedrill's endurance and resilience.

Given the choice, Xia Yan would not want to use such tactics.

However, it is obviously difficult to close the gap in hard power simply by relying on cooperation and tactics.

Especially when facing a Dragon-type Pokémon.

'If Togepi could evolve, its strength would increase, both in terms of support abilities and the power of its moves.'

The thought flashed through Xia Yan's mind.

'Or... if Togepi could use Fairy-type moves, Beedrill would have an easier time dealing with it.'

While Abra and Togepi's superior strength is insufficient to challenge the elite-level Red-faced Dragon, their type advantage would at least provide some restraint.

Xia Yan smiled and shook his head.

'I'm getting obsessed. But I can't be too fixated on Togepi's changes; its current role won't change significantly with its abilities or evolution.'

Putting aside some unrealistic ideas, he began to explain the upcoming arrangements and plans to the elves.

After half an hour.

Looking at the three Pokémon that had completely regained their confidence, Xia Yan nodded in satisfaction.

His plan was actually quite simple.

First, find other Pokémon to grind for "experience".

There are quite a few wild elves on this island, and they have a great sense of awe for the town and the mountaintop. If you get tired, you can return to the town to recover and wait.

Start by practicing with the two main groups of wolfhounds and tank skunks on both sides of the town, testing tactics, and making some money along the way.

This island must have been deserted for a long time, so the wild Pokémon are all quite strong. Even if you only catch them and sell them, you won't lose money.

Make a decision.

Xia Yan then took three Pokémon and went to raid the doghouse.

What Xia Yan didn't notice was that ever since the battle with the red-faced dragon broke out on the mountainside, a pair of eyes had appeared behind him.

A pair of... orange eyes.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Lord Elf

"Beedrill, deadly sting."

A golden arc of light flashed, followed by a burst of emerald green insect-type energy. The long needle, like a spear, pierced through the air, wiping out the last bit of strength from the Great Wolfhound.

After defeating the large wolfhound, Xia Yan and the three elves did not linger in the fight and retreated back into the town area.

Despite the barking of the remaining large wolfhounds, they dared not take another step forward.

Even though Xia Yan and the Beedrill defeated so many of their companions.

What's most infuriating is that whenever they try to retaliate, this man and his spirit always retreat before their encirclement is fully formed.

Xia Yan also felt that his behavior was somewhat shameless.

It seems they're exploiting a bug in the game to grind monsters and gain experience like crazy.

This feeling was like the scene in the movie "Hail the Judge" that he had once watched, where the lawyer Fang Tangjing kept jumping back and forth in front of the yamen's interception line.

"Hey, I came in. Hey, I went out again. Hit me, you idiot."

It's a pity Stephen Chow isn't here.

but.

When Xia Yan led the Beedrill and the others back in, it finally provoked the greatest counterattack from the Great Hounds.

This led to the introduction of a special individual among the Great Wolfhounds.

Looking at the large wolfhound in front of him, with its head held high, its disdainful gaze, and its size unlike any other wolfhound, Xia Yan knew that the leader of the wolfhound pack had appeared.

Moreover, this leader seems to be somewhat special.

"Lord Elf?"

Xia Yan recalled the information he had read about the "Lord Elf" in his mind.

Among wild elves, due to the existence of such a relationship between groups, a special kind of elf has emerged, such as the "Lord Elf" that is now presented to Xia Yan, or the "Overlord Elf" which is at an even higher level.

These special leader spirits are essentially no different from ordinary spirits.

However, due to certain special reasons, they differ from ordinary Pokémon, such as changes in size, enhancements in certain aspects, etc.

To date, the Alliance's researchers have not been able to figure out the reason for the birth of these leader elves.

Some say it's because the leaders can obtain far more resources than ordinary elves, while others say it's because there's a special magnetic field among wild elves that causes these leader elves to change.

But one thing is certain.

Once these leader Pokémon leave their groups, either by departing or being captured by a trainer, their differences will gradually disappear until they become just like ordinary Pokémon.

As a result, many people have tried to subdue it, but the final result is always the same.

However, the appearance of such elves in a certain group indicates that the group is a relatively large group.

Therefore, most special leader Pokémon appear in the Bug-type Pokémon group, which has a larger number of Pokémon.

For example, a colony of Beedrill or a colony of Butterfly.

In short, these kinds of leader spirits all have one thing in common: they are difficult to deal with, and you won't get any special benefits after capturing them.

Over time, trainers began to keep their distance from these Pokémon.

Because the benefits are not proportional to the effort.

The much larger wolfhound that appeared in front of Xia Yan at this moment was very likely a "Lord Spirit".

Because of the changes in its body, it has become stronger and more robust, making it more difficult to deal with.

But in reality, capturing it is not much different from capturing an ordinary large wolfhound.

It's the kind of job that's all hard work and no reward.

Therefore, Xia Yan had no intention of continuing to entangle with this pack of large wolfhounds.

He doesn't do things that are thankless and difficult.

But just because he doesn't want to doesn't mean the other side doesn't want to either.

The Great Wolfhound leader's eyes turned red as he watched Xia Yan and his elf repeatedly harass their territory, then retreat unscathed and continued to harass them.

His clenched teeth suddenly snapped open, and a furious roar erupted from him.

"Roar!"

This was certainly no ordinary cry; layers of sound waves formed ripples that enveloped Xia Yan and the three Pokémon.

Casey and Togepi both looked uncomfortable. Wisps of black energy appeared on their bodies, which quickly dissipated, but weakened their aura.

Loud Roar: A stern, reproachful roar that deals damage and has a very high chance of lowering the opponent's Special Attack.

Dark-type moves deal significant damage to Abra.

Furthermore, against Dark-type Pokémon, Abra's Psychic-type moves are ineffective, as are Togepi's Psychic powers, which are transformed from the secret power of Psychic Terrain.

but.

The main force against the Great Wolfhound is the Beedrill.

Bug-type moves are quite effective against Dark-type Pokémon, and Beedrill is currently at full status quo!

Seeing that Casey and Togepi had suffered considerable damage, and with their opponents not giving them a chance to retreat, Beedrill made its move.

A powerful gust of air swirled around its body.

In a golden arc of light, Beedrill shot out like a sharp arrow, heading straight for the leader of the Great Hounds.

After several rounds of battles, Beedrill already knew the weaknesses of Mightyena, so its target this time was the Mightyena leader's Achilles' heel.

A dark red halo swirled in its compound eyes, and the scissors, brimming with rage, crashed down.

Bang! !

The leader, a large wolfhound, was knocked away.

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing the Beedrill attack.

"Because of the difference in size, even their weaknesses are different from those of ordinary large wolfhounds?"

The Great Hound leader was not hit in its weak point by Beedrill, so the Sniper trait was not triggered.

Even so, the leader of the Great Wolfhounds suffered considerable damage.
