Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

However... the losses from each failure are unbearable for humankind.

At least.

It will cause huge losses.

"Waaah—"

Darkrai glanced at the snow-white little guy beside him.

Don't even think about it. This is beyond my capabilities.

"Huh?"

Soroya tilted his head and blinked.

Darkrai's forehead showed black lines.

[I've told you so many times, don't listen to Xia Yan's nonsense, I really don't know 'Sub-Void Slash' or 'Time Roar'.]

Upon hearing this, little Zoroya could only nod silently.

Okay.

[Did you sense any malice or negative emotions, the same energy and aura extracted from Hoopa before?]

Darkrai asked.

This was Xia Yan's real purpose in bringing them here.

Zorua is the elf most sensitive to this malice and hatred.

As for Darkrai... it's just a bodyguard without any feelings.

"Waaaaah!!"

Soroya nodded repeatedly.

In fact, it doesn't even need to perceive it; it can clearly sense the intense malice permeating the thick walls of the boiler.

That malice was even more exaggerated than the emancipation of Hoopa.

Right? Even I could feel it.

Darkrai nodded.

Their mission is complete.

[He's gone.]

That's all.

Two elves, one black and one white, two wisps of thin mist, took advantage of the chaos at the energy factory and quietly left.

Knowing whether Mugentana harbors the same malice as Hoopa's liberation will reveal whether Suzuki manipulated Mugentana.

...

...

Quanjuku City.

"A test?"

Suzuki appeared in the bustling crowd at some point.

only.

His presence seemed to go unnoticed by those around him.

He looked at the energy plant with a smile on his face.

"Actually, you don't need to be so careful at all. But since you've thought of it... then I'll 'help' you out a little."

Snapped--

He snapped his fingers lightly.

Several crimson Galer particles shot out uncontrollably from the energy plant, rapidly moving away at a speed invisible to most people.

"Let me let you liven things up a bit more for now. Compared to you, he's the real trouble."

The words fell.

Suzuki's figure slowly dissipated.

Before leaving, Suzuki glanced meaningfully at a security camera not far from the street corner.

"he?"

Xia Yan, holding his phone, read the information from the multifaceted beast.

"Could it be the president of the Grand Alliance?"

...

...

"Another boring day indeed."

Looking at the setting sun, Xia Yan, lying in the rocking chair, wanted to start a game.

He had just defeated Chibana a few days ago and risen to twelfth place, but after not playing for a few days, he has now dropped to the thirties.

But it's Cynthia.

He overtook him once again and stabilized in the teens.

This is even though Cynthia doesn't frequently engage in matchmaking battles, only occasionally accepting one or two challenges.

If she wanted to, she could easily break into the top eight.

As the World Championships continue in full swing, more and more high-level players are coming to the Galar region to compete.

This allowed the newly opened Galar region to skip the initial slowdown period and quickly integrate into the entire Alliance family.

And its status continues to rise.

Alora region: Don't speak.

"Bu, bu bu bu, bu ee, bu bu bu~ ee~~"

"Cha ke du du du du yi~~"

"Awooo—"

In the courtyard.

In their spare time, Sylveon and its friends completely transformed from ordinary Pokémon into star Pokémon.

A small concert catapulted them to stardom as Pokémon.

Regarding this result.

It will only make the little ones more enthusiastic about singing.

Listening to the beautiful melody of the little ones singing together, Xia Yan didn't want to move anymore.

Sometimes, he thinks that it's fine to arrange it like this.

All that arguing and fighting is exhausting.

But sometimes reality tells him that if he doesn't move, those who harbor ill intentions towards him will probably be laughing in their sleep.

So now, Xia Yan just sets it up for a while each day.

When the elves finish their training and enter the free play phase, that's when he gets to show off.

"Why didn't you take on any matches today?" Xia Yan noticed Cynthia walking in from outside with Sonia and Mari and asked.

Cynthia held an ice cream in one hand and several bags of her shopping spoils from the day with Sonia and the others in the other.

Her pink tongue carefully licked the ice cream.

"Well, because beating Qibana no longer adds points."

Xia Yan: "..."

Good guy.

So you've been letting Cibana play all by himself these past few days?

I silently mourned for Cibana for three minutes.

At the same time, he secretly warned himself never to try to anger a woman, otherwise he would not be able to bear the consequences.

Cibana is a prime example.

"But what about you? Is it really appropriate for you to lie here all day?"

As Cynthia asked the question, she took out the ice cream she had bought especially for the elves.

Upon seeing this, Togekiss and Sylveon immediately dropped what they were doing and ran happily towards her.

Xia Yan shrugged. "Who said I was just lying down?"

He did many, many things, but Cynthia and the others didn't know it.

There are many preparations involved that even Cynthia cannot be told about.

Cynthia did not raise many objections to this.

She believed that Xia Yan could not possibly have actually placed it there.

At least.

What he wants to do, and the enemies who are always ready to deal with him, will not leave him sitting idly by.

“Da Ye, A Liu, and Dian Ci are coming tomorrow,” Shirona said.

Upon hearing this...

Xia Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"How many points did they get?"

"Hmm—I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but judging from Da Ye's tone, the score shouldn't be low."

Back when the World Championship started, Xia Yan had already called on his friends to come to the Galar region to climb the ranks.
