Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Waiting for someone?"

Seeing Xia Yan's noncommittal expression, Sonia didn't press the matter, "Alright."

After Sonia left, Xia Yan stood up and looked at the elves in the room.

Where is my sword and shield?

Upon hearing this, the elves who were playing in the room exchanged glances and finally focused their attention on the corner.

"quack!

"

Cong Youbing, who was originally very excited, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and turned around stiffly.

"Gah?"

All I saw was...

This noble white knight was not holding a slender spear and a shield, but rather Xia Yan's decaying sword and shield.

The broken dagger and the tattered shield, two ancient and rusty pieces of equipment, looked completely out of place with Ya Ya's "temperament".

But I don't know why.

The Green Onion Soldier, who usually never lets go of his green onion, was actually willing to put it down after seeing these two pieces of equipment, unafraid of being stolen by Togekiss.

Looking at the Onion Warrior wielding a sword and shield, and ignoring the expression on its face, Xia Yan was clearly taken aback.

Farfetch'd: Sword and Shield King Form?

Involuntarily, a picture of a scallion soldier made by netizens, which he had seen before, flashed through his mind.

"quack--"

Onion Soldier chuckled awkwardly, glanced cautiously at Xia Yan, and made as if to put down the sword and shield in his hand.

"and many more!"

However, Xia Yan reached out and stopped it in time.

"Duck."

"Gah?"

Cong Youbing is in a dilemma: should he release him or not?

"Have you ever thought about becoming a hero in the Gallar region one day?" Xia Yan asked with a strange expression.

"Huh?!"

hero? !

An image flashed through Cong Youbing's mind.

It stood on a cliff, holding a golden sword and shield, its eyes looking down at the world with disdain, while countless people below cheered its name.

That scene... was so beautiful.

It used to only dare to think like this when it was sleeping and dreaming at night.

“Chakoi—”

Pokkiss slapped a wing on the back of the duck's head.

The drool stayed behind.

Slurp!

Upon hearing this, Cong Youbing instinctively took a deep breath.

Then he looked at Xia Yan and nodded sharply.

hero.

Who wouldn't want to do it?

"Then you can keep this sword and shield for now."

"Gah?"

Really?

Onion Soldier gripped the rotten sword and shield in his hand, and felt... that it was somewhat handy.

"Ah."

Xia Yan nodded.

Their gaze fell upon the decaying sword and shield. At the spot where the Onion Soldier held the sword and shield, at an angle unnoticed by the elves, two thin golden lines appeared where it held them.

Even Xia Yan, a "hero of truth and ideals," couldn't figure it out.

Onion Soldiers can actually make the rust covering the decaying sword and shield fade away a little bit automatically?

What else could this be but a "chosen duck"?

"Xia Yan——"

At this time.

Shouts could be heard from outside.

"coming."

Xia Yan responded loudly, signaling everyone to have free time, then turned and walked out.

Seeing Xia Yan leave, Cong Youbing happily rubbed his sword and then his shield, feeling indescribably satisfied.

Sneaky and stealthy, unnoticed by any of the Pokémon, Kakuzu placed the rotten sword and shield to its mouth and bit down hard.

card!

One bite nearly choked Cong Youbing's mouth.

"Gah!"

It's really hard!

Something this hard must be made of gold, right?

How much is this sword and shield worth? How many green onions could they buy?

Onion Soldier looked at the two tiny golden cracks on its surface, quickly covered them with his hand, and then nervously looked around to make sure no elves had noticed it before letting out a sigh of relief.

That bite just now made the golden patterns on the decaying sword and shield even more prominent.

Fortunately, it can be covered by the palm of your hand.

"quack--"

Onion Soldier chirped happily, raising its eyebrows at Fairy Yin Bu and the others, its joy evident.

This left the fairy Yin Bu and the others somewhat at a loss.

Is this duck out of its mind, so happy holding two pieces of rotten equipment?

I don't know.

Duck is already imagining how much snacks and treats it can buy after it has had the opportunity to have the two pieces of gold appraised.

Then!

I have to make them all call me "hero" before I, the "Duck Hero," will share my snacks with them!

Hmph—

Thinking of this, Cong Youbing proudly raised his head.

Happy.

...

...

"Xia Yan!"

Outside.

Several figures walked quickly towards them.

"Du? Dawu? Kona?"

Xia Yan looked surprised when he saw who it was.

"You've finally decided to come."

"There's just too much to do," Watari said, rubbing his temples.

"Yes." Daigo's face even showed a hint of fatigue.

After becoming the regional champion, there are just too many things to deal with.

In particular, Steven not only has to deal with Devon Corporation's affairs, but also the Hoenn League's affairs, while also keeping up with his Pokémon training.

Until this point.

They finally understood how fortunate Xia Yan was to have such a competent and capable secretary as Wu Song.

"How many places have we gotten?" Daigo couldn't help but ask.

Xia Yan shrugged. "It went up a lot a few days ago, but now it's dropped back down to around 20th."

"You're just not proactive," Watari said irritably.

With such a great environment and atmosphere, how could Xia Yan resist the urge to rank up?

Do you believe he can overtake you in just three days?

"Crimson and Green have already broken into the top ten, that's fast!"

Kona looked at the tournament equipment in her hand and said with a slight surprise.

"So fast?!"

Upon hearing this, the group of people all showed expressions of surprise.

To know.
