Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Although the poison on those shuriken yesterday was potent, it wasn't the strongest poison he had ever used.

and.

He was confident that even if Xia Yan was poisoned, the antidote he had would neutralize the poison in Xia Yan immediately.

But it's too late to say anything now.

He was not in the right, which was one thing, but he was also completely defeated in the ninja battle.

It's true that you can't beat them in a fight, and you can't win an argument with them.

Seeing Ah Ju's pursed lips and solemn, silent expression, Xia Yan reached out and patted his shoulder.

"take it easy."

Ah Ju's face darkened.

They made him sound like a little devil.

He was one of the three key members of the Rockets, and he had experienced more life-and-death battles than Xia Yan.

"Chief, I came to find you."

Ah Ju's slightly hoarse voice rang out.

They just laid their cards on the table.

This revealed his status as the highest-ranking executive of the Rockets.

“I know.” Xia Yan nodded and stood up.

Looking down at him.

His expression gradually faded, and he said calmly, "So, after last night, do you still have any doubts or resentment towards my abilities or strength?"

A-Ju's face stiffened.

He stood up, somewhat unsteadily.

Looking at Xia Yan's indifferent face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since we're both trainers, let's have a match like trainers!"

Upon hearing this...

Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

From Xia Yan's words, A-Ju heard undisguised contempt.

Ding-dong-

The tournament equipment on Xia Yan's body emitted a notification from A-Ju's challenge.

"Eighteen?" Xia Yan's voice rang out with a hint of surprise.

Looking at Xia Yan's ranking, A-Ju snorted coldly, "So the dignified champion Xia Yan is only thirty-fourth."

“Very good.” Xia Yan nodded.

"good?"

"You've successfully made me want to show you the strength of a champion."

A-Ju: "..."

do not know why.

A-Ju felt that Xia Yan was pretentious.

Since last night, A-Ju has felt that Xia Yan is being a bit pretentious.

Although he put on a very successful act.

But right.

Ah Ju was still a little unhappy.

"Let's go."

Xia Yan waved his hand.

"where?"

"The Fist Arena, huh? You want to fight here?"

After saying that, Xia Yan walked towards the door.

Watching Xia Yan's departing figure, A-Ju gritted her teeth.

He murmured to himself, "Can someone like this really become the future of Team Rocket, as the leader says?"

...

...

"Get out! Didn't you see this sign?"

Chibana pointed to the sign outside the Punch Gate Arena, which clearly read, "Xia Yan and dogs are not allowed!"

Xia Yan: "..."

A-Ju, who came along behind Xia Yan, had a strange expression.

His gaze swept over Xia Yan and Qi Bana repeatedly.

"So I absolutely have to go in today?"

Holding up his phone and craning his neck, Cibana said defiantly, "Then you'll have to step over me!"

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes, "Believe it or not, I'll pick you out too today?"

Cibana's expression froze.

Then he saw Xia Yan, with the help of his superpowers, fly directly over Qi Bana's head.

A-Ju, whose expression grew increasingly strange, and Chibana, who looked dazed, were left behind.

After the two entered the arena, Kibana looked at Daigo and Lorelei who had come with them.

"Is he... having his period today?"

Daigo and Kona looked at each other.

They don't know either.

They didn't even know when A-Ju appeared, nor why A-Ju challenged Xia Yan.

I only came along because I heard that Xia Yan was going to participate in another points-based competition.

Daigo patted Kibana on the shoulder, reassuring him, "It's alright. At most, the energy barrier will break again, it won't cost much."

Cibana's eye twitched.

Brother, you say that without even taking a breath.

Then it dawned on me.

He's the young master of Devon Corporation; the money needed to repair the energy barrier is probably just a number to him.

"Senior Xia Yan should know his limits," Kona comforted him.

Do you have a sense of propriety?

How did the energy barriers in the Fist Arena explode twice before you had any sense of proportion?

and.

Xia Yan doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, and he doesn't seem like he'll be able to stop himself.

"Champion Xia Yan is here!"

"The opponent is Aki, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region. It's another battle between the champion and a Heavenly King."

"Actually, I don't really care who Xia Yan fights. I just want to know if the energy barrier will break today."

"Me too. I came all the way here because I heard that Champion Xia Yan specializes in destroying the energy barrier of the arena. Unfortunately, I waited for several days but didn't see it happen. Today I finally saw it, and I wanted to see what it looks like when the energy barrier is destroyed."

"What a joke. This energy barrier is definitely going to explode today, I told you so."

"You think the nickname 'Barrier Killer' is a lie?"

"..."

Xia Yan never expected that the title of "Barrier Killer" would be bestowed upon him.

But speaking of which...

The number of times he has breached the energy barrier now seems to be too many to count on one hand, right?

Xia Yan remained expressionless as he looked at A-Ju, who was already standing opposite him.

But he himself was aware of his own condition.

Why do I feel so irritable today?

Whether it was the power of waveguides or superpowers, Xia Yan examined his entire body more than once, but found nothing abnormal.

But the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Xia Yan usually prides himself on being a calm person and rarely does anything impulsive.

but.

Today I felt an irrepressible restlessness, and I wanted to vent it out.

Could it be... because of Mugentsuna beneath the Kenshin Arena?

Hidden?

when?

"Boys, please prepare yourselves!"

The referee's voice interrupted Xia Yan's thoughts.

opposite.

Aju already had a Poké Ball in her hand, ready for battle.
