Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Why is Xia Yan following Sonia on this so-called investigation into the "King of Sword and Shield"?

The goal was to learn more about Mugentana while investigating the "King of Sword and Shield," and to glean some information about the connection between Suzuki and Mugentana.

"You're being ridiculous. I went through all that trouble to give you this rating, and you just come here to eat it, huh?"

At this time.

A sound came from outside the treasure vault.

"You can choose not to accept it."

Then another voice rang out.

Xia Yan and the other two looked towards the door.

"It's the Pill Emperor!"

Upon hearing the voice, Sonia, Dandi's childhood sweetheart, recognized it immediately.

And another one...

"'Weathering With You' Chibana..."

One of the two 'legends' in Dragon-type training, Dodo and 'Weather Child'.

Chapter 223 Qibana: The Secret Xia Yan and I Had to Tell

"Sonia?"

Dante and Kibana, who had just entered the treasure vault, also saw Xia Yan and the other two inside.

"Xia Yan, Shirona, you're here too?"

"Isn't this about following your little girlfriend to investigate the history of Galar's 'Dark Night'?" Xia Yan said with a shrug.

"Uh..." Dan Di was taken aback.

Sonia blushed and glared at Xia Yan, annoyed. "Who, who's his girlfriend?"

Dan Di could only chuckle awkwardly and touch his nose, not daring to reply.

Seeing that Dandi remained silent, Sonia glared at him fiercely once more.

This left Emperor Dan somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Xia Yan and Xiluona exchanged helpless glances.

Sure enough, champions often seem to have a low emotional intelligence; Du is like that, and so is Dan.

Cynthia agreed.

She simply glanced at him with a more meaningful look.

So-and-so is a champion too, does he think he has high emotional intelligence?

However, Xia Yan did not notice her gaze.

"Alright, you two stop being all lovey-dovey here. Can't you talk about it at home?" Qibana, holding his phone, rolled his eyes at them.

How could Qibana, who grew up with them, not know about their affair?

That is, Dan Di, that idiot.

talking.

Qibana walked over to Xia Yan's side, then very familiarly leaned against him and took out his phone to take a selfie.

"Come on, Xia Yan, let's smile together."

Soon, Cibana pressed the shutter button and uploaded the photo to his own social media account with a caption.

The Secrets Xia Yan and I, the Champions, Had to Tell

Xia Yan:? ? ?

Xia Yan was completely dumbfounded as he watched Qibana perform this action right in front of him.

No.

What secret?

How come I didn't even know?

but.

It must be admitted that Cibana is indeed a master at handling topics.

This photo, paired with such a title, needs no further explanation; it immediately attracted a lot of attention and quickly garnered all sorts of comments.

"The secret of champions Qibana and Xia Yan? These two people..."

"These two people are suspicious, very suspicious!"

"No wonder. I'd never heard anything about Xia Yan having a girlfriend. Turns out..."

"Wait a minute. But isn't Cibana closely associated with Champion Dante?"

"It seems the relationship between Champion Dan and Champion Xia Yan is also quite special..."

"I'm spitting out hot air, could it be...?"

"As much as it sounds, can Qibana and Xia Yan, the champions, actually have a match?"

"Yeah, they're all high-level balls, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to play a match?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"..."

Having seen these comments as well, Cibana was smug and gained even more attention.

Xia Yan was even more confused.

How did his orientation become so distorted?

and many more.

There's something fishy about Cibana!

Why is he still so smug?

Xia Yan unconsciously put a few steps away from him.

Then it suddenly occurred to me.

Wouldn't his "reputation" be tarnished by Chibanam?

Xia Yan slowly narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.

"Chibana, what the hell are you posting?"

Sonia and Dante, who were also "forced" to follow Qibana and were even tagged in the post, also saw this picture and text.

Especially when she saw the increasingly outrageous comments, Sonia didn't dare to continue reading, but she didn't forget to show them to Cynthia.

Dan Di, who was also looking at his phone, suddenly shrank back.

So cold.

Why did the temperature in the treasure vault suddenly drop so low?

Dan Di subconsciously looked in the direction from which the chill was coming from.

Xia Yan...yes, that's true.

But Cynthia, what's with that look in your eyes?

"X-Xirona, my sister?"

Sonia also keenly sensed the change in Cynthia's aura and cautiously tugged at her sleeve.

With Sonia pulling her back, Cynthia's cold aura finally softened.

Then it suddenly dawned on me.

Was my reaction a bit too extreme?

However, after thinking about it, Cynthia still said coldly:

"Chibana, your actions are a smear on Xia Yan, a smear on the reputation of our Sinnoh League, and a smear on the entire Sinnoh region!"

Both Leon and Sonia sensed the change in Cynthia's aura. How could Kibana, as Cynthia's main target, not feel anything at all?

Upon hearing this, Qibana blinked, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

This is... terrifying.

Fortunately, Cynthia toned it down a bit.

“I…” Cibana opened his mouth.

This was really just a title he casually edited, thinking it might be more attention-grabbing.

This is how he usually posts photos with Dan Di and others.

Actually, a large portion of the comments below are just stirring up trouble.

Do those who follow Qibana not know that his headline is actually just nonsense?

They just wanted to see Xia Yan beat him up.

I just didn't expect it.

Before Xia Yan could speak, Shirona couldn't contain herself any longer.

"challenge."

Cynthia interrupted Cibaner's explanation and pulled out her tournament equipment.

They start challenges at the drop of a hat.

Ding-dong-

The instruments on Cibana immediately started beeping.
