Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Wu Song: That was you who called. I wouldn't have answered either. Let the boss try it, and you'll see.

A-Liu: Why is she the boss?

Adek: Kids, don't ask.

Cynthia: Shall we have a group video call?

Daigo: This has provoked Cynthia to come out.

Cynthia: I've been busy preparing for the "Lily of the Valley Conference" lately.

Gadria: Cynthia~~~

Karuno: Let's ask, so that everyone won't worry anymore.

Cynthia: Okay.

soon.

Cynthia was in the group chat when she made a video call to Xia Yan.

Just as everyone was waiting.

The video call connected.

then.

One by one, everyone's cameras were turned on.

Da Ye was biting into a piece of steak, and her eating manners were a bit...

"Wow. It actually got through!"

He quickly rummaged around in the dirt a couple of times.

However, Xia Yan in the video had no expression.

Adek coughed.

"Xia Yan, is the problem... not too serious?"

Xia Yan smiled stiffly.

"It's nothing. It's nothing."

As he spoke, he raised his phone, presenting a panoramic view of the surroundings to them.

When they saw Xia Yan's condition, they all fell silent.

All I saw was...

Xia Yan, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, was sitting on a spot that resembled land.

His little suit and top hat were drying next to him.

Surrounded by seawater, he was still floating on the boundless ocean.

As the camera continued to zoom out...

Only then did everyone realize it.

This isn't land, this is Groudon's belly!

Groudon, who was so fierce and domineering in the live stream yesterday, now looked utterly hopeless, lying on its back on the sea.

"Grodotus, backstroke?"

Daigo's eyes widened.

It was unbelievable.

This scene was indeed beyond his comprehension.

This was also beyond the comprehension of everyone in the group.

"What happened?" Cynthia couldn't help but ask.

Even when facing Hoopa and so many legendary Pokémon, Xia Yan didn't seem to take off his top hat. He must have looked quite disheveled.

Xia Yan said calmly, "It's nothing. Groudon is fighting with a bunch of Gyarados in the sea."

???

A question mark crossed their faces.

Groudon and Gyarados from the sea are fighting?

Aren't those Gyarados just asking for trouble?

"Not many, maybe a hundred or so Gyarados. And they're not very strong, just two or three Champion-level ones."

Everyone: "..."

Is this the deep sea that even the Pokémon League dares not easily venture into?

The ocean is undoubtedly much larger than the land.

Given that he's currently in the middle of the ocean and still dares to venture into it, it wouldn't be surprising if he encountered any kind of spirit.

Xia Yan's weakest point in combat is undoubtedly the sea.

Groudon goes without saying.

"Then, what about those Gyarados?" Da Ye stopped chewing and asked.

Xia Yan once again used his superpowers to raise the phone.

All I saw was...

Groudon, swimming on its back, has dozens of seemingly very thin threads tied to its hands and body.

Each thread was tied to the body of a Gyarados.

only.

These Gyarados were either bruised and battered, or had pieces of scales torn off, clearly having been beaten up quite a bit.

Groudon probably didn't expect this either.

It never learned to fly, something it longed for.

I learned to swim backstroke first, though.

Although I was being dragged along.

As the phone's gaze returned, Xia Yan's deadpan expression reappeared in everyone's view.

"I'm fine. Don't worry, we're going very fast, I think we're almost there. Hmm? What's the destination again? Oh, Unova. Champion Ardek, we're almost in Unova. @Ardek"

Adek: "..."

Adeke's video flashed briefly and then went offline.

The crowd, however, became quite lively.

Da Ye: Goodness. Xia Yan is going to challenge Adebayo to an offline championship match?

Wusong: With Groudon around, are you sure this is a fight?

After exchanging a few more words with everyone, Xia Yan ended the call.

His forced, stiff expression also returned to normal.

Enjoying the sea breeze and sipping a beverage.

to be frank.

I should have thought of this a long time ago; it's much faster than Alakazam's "Teleport".

Roar--

Groudon called out softly, looking aggrieved.

Xia Yan's expression hardened again.

"Who told you to go and provoke them? Swim for another hour."

Groudon: ...

Actually, it's the most miserable one.

It's those Gyarados that are now being used as dragging tools.

Do you really think Groudon is something you can just drag around?

We also need to maintain this speed.

This was especially true after he had been beaten up.

Putting aside his various thoughts, Xia Yan focused his mind on his future plans and actions.

I gently rubbed my phone while looking at the homepage of the league's official website.

He said in a low voice, "I've given you plenty of time and opportunities. Since you haven't made any moves, I'll start this."

Chapter 214 He gave way too much

"Go to sleep quietly and don't wander around. If you want something to eat, contact me."

The shimmering Omega pattern flickers on and off on the back of my hand.

Hoenn region.

Inside Chimney Mountain, a crimson land surrounded by scorching lava.

Groudon, its head poking out from the lava and its two eyes showing, looked just like a timid little wife.

God knows what it has been through these past few days.

Although there are delicious energy cubes every day, it's a bittersweet experience.

It didn't actually take off; instead, it swam around in the ocean, doing the backstroke.

Oh my goodness.

Imagine Groudon swimming on its back in the ocean...
