Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Groudon and Kyogre check and balance each other, which is necessary for balance. So it's not that I want to send it back, but if I don't send it back, then wherever it stays, that place will soon become desert, until all the living things on it perish."

Do you really think the title of the ancient "God of Earth" is a joke?

Daigo nodded in realization. "I see."

He then nudged Xia Yan's elbow and lowered his voice again, "I'm just helping to convey the message from the Hoenn Alliance's higher-ups. You know, I'm not currently employed by the Hoenn Alliance."

Xia Yan smiled; didn't he understand Daigo?

"I haven't taken office yet, but it'll be soon, right? Could you also pass on a message to the higher-ups of the Hoenn Alliance for me?"

"You said."

"Hmm—every fifteen days, give Mt. Chimney a Power Cube, the spicy and sour kind. Don't say I didn't remind you, if there's no food, I can't guarantee it won't run out and find its own, but if there is food, then the Hoenn League can rest assured about Groudon in the future."

Upon hearing this, Daigo's eyes lit up instantly.

With his insight, he could certainly see the subtle nuances involved.

That's not just about stabilizing Groudon.

If we could establish some kind of connection with Groudon, even if it were just a peaceful exchange on an equal footing, the byproducts of Groudon's existence would be far greater than the energy cubes we've invested.

For example.

Fragments of Groudon's shed shell, "Fire Stones" formed from the accumulated fire-type energy of Groudon, and the boost Groudon provides to the strength of wild Pokémon in the surrounding area, etc.

"Ahem." Daigo coughed lightly. "I will. And our Devon company will choose to cover all the costs of this matter."

Xia Yan's smile grew wider, knowing that Daigo would understand the deeper meaning behind it.

This was already considered a huge benefit that Xia Yan had given to their Devon company.

and this.

For old shrewd people like Mr. Zvoich and Mr. Mujin, the most important thing is connections!

Xia Yan is now fully capable of engaging in equal dialogue with the entire German community.

“Let’s go. Since we’re in Hoenn, we should definitely come to my house for a visit, right? My grandfather has told me to do that several times already.” Daigo put his arm around Natsuhiko’s shoulder and said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan, unusually, did not refuse.

He nodded and said, "Alright. I also have something I'd like to discuss with Grandpa and you, Daigo."

"Oh?"

...

...

The gentle moonlight blurred my vision, while the dazzling stars adorned my heart.

The luxury car drove into the Zvoch family mansion in Kanaz.

The Zvoch family seemed to have gone to great lengths to welcome Xia Yan to his old age.

Besides the old man, a group of high-ranking family members, including Daigo's uncles and elders, also came.

This demonstrates a high level of importance placed on Xia Yan today.

of course.

If they hadn't brought Daigo's older and younger cousins ​​with them, Natsuhiko might have actually believed it.

After dinner.

Inside the courtyard of the vast garden.

Xia Yan, Grandpa Zifuqi Mujin, and Daigo sat by an artificial lake.

"Haha—Xia Yan, don't take it too seriously. After all, a champion like you, who has risen to fame—no, a renowned champion—is still single. It's impossible for them not to have some designs on you," Grandpa Zvoich explained with a kind smile.

Xia Yan simply shrugged at this.

The main reason is that he made a huge show of his way to Hoenn.

"Dad, be careful someone might come knocking on our door," Daigo teased without lowering his voice.

He couldn't help but glance at Xia Yan with a mocking look.

"Oh?" Old Master Zvoich was unaware of the hidden meaning in Daigo's words.

"There might be more than one..."

"Cough-cough-"

Xia Yan glared at Daigo with annoyance.

He changed the subject, saying, "Grandpa, Daigo, actually, I came here today because there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

Seeing that Xia Yan had stopped joking, Grandpa Zuvoki and Daigo also stopped teasing each other.

"Go ahead and speak," the old man said.

Xia Yan put down his teacup, paused briefly, and then slowly said, "That's right. I want to create a school."

"School?"

Upon hearing this, both Grandpa Zvoich and Daigo were taken aback and exchanged a glance.

They thought Xia Yan would talk about how to counterattack the Alliance or how to expand his influence, but he actually talked about creating a school.

However, if Xia Yan values ​​this school so much, it must be extraordinary.

“Yes.” Xia Yan gently rubbed the rim of the cup with his fingertips. “I want to create a school where everyone can enroll, where everyone has the opportunity to become a trainer, where everyone has an equal chance to rise, and where everyone can at least step onto the track. I want…”

As they listened, the expressions of Grandpa Zvoich and Daigo gradually became serious.

In the end, the two of them sat up straight.

With their abilities, they could naturally discern the profound meaning hidden behind the so-called school that Xia Yan wanted to create.

This is going to... disrupt the system that the Alliance has maintained for a hundred years!

However, it cannot be denied that Xia Yan's actions...

It also showed the two of them how much change it would bring to the entire league if they succeeded.

If successful, it could bring about a complete transformation for the entire alliance.

The new alliance will undoubtedly be much stronger than the current one.

But the obstacles and setbacks that need to be overcome along the way...

Ok.

Xia Yan is already in conflict with the group with the biggest conflict of interest.

This is not just about eliminating the royal descendants who currently hold great power within the alliance, but also about completely uprooting these "parasites"—the royal and noble descendants—who have been preserved since the alliance's inception!

It's not that he didn't take action.

Instead, their actions directly targeted the very lifeblood of the royal descendants.

inherited!

"you......."

Grandpa Zvoich opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

The main reason is that Xia Yan's plan and the implications behind it were too shocking.

There's too much to cover.

The most important thing is how to strike a balance.

It's impossible to eliminate all privileges for everyone.

Otherwise, Xia Yan would not only have to face those royal descendants, but also a wide range of families, including his own Zivqi family and the dragon-riding clan that helped them cross over.

However, what Xia Yan himself advocates is not putting everyone on the same starting line.

He was well aware of the dangers that could result from misstepping even one step.

So what he advocated from beginning to end was to give ordinary people a chance to get on the track.

It's just a chance to get on the track.

of course.

Once Xia Yan does it.

Therefore, the prestige and support he will gain will likely allow Xia Yan to reach a height that no one else can reach.

He will become a "hero" in the eyes of all ordinary people.

It's important to understand that, no matter where you are, the "ordinary people" group is often the largest.

If they could get involved in this matter and succeed in the end, the benefits that Devon Corporation could gain would be enormous.

It's so large that it might make Devon Corporation one of the top companies in every region of the entire Elf world.

Risk and reward are directly proportional, a fact that both Mr. Zvoich and Daigo were well aware of.

"Then... what about the textbooks?" Daigo asked hesitantly.

Xia Yan chuckled softly.

"My teacher, Professor Oak, and I have successfully developed the 'Pokédex,' but we haven't announced it yet."

Upon hearing this, both Grandpa Zivchi and Daigo trembled slightly.

"Success?!"

They were very familiar with the "Pokémon Pokédex".

The auxiliary tool that Xia Yan and his friends are currently using, which was jointly created by Devon Corporation and Silver, is paving the way for the "Pokémon Encyclopedia".

What if we consider the "Pocket Monster Encyclopedia" as a "perk" for enrolling in school?

Who can resist such temptation?

Moreover, there's Professor Oak's name...

The titles of Dr. Xia Yan and Dr. Kazuki are incredibly convincing and appealing.

"Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I will likely hire Professor Oki as the academy's first dean," Xia Yan said slowly, resting his chin on his hand.
