Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

He bent down and picked it up.

Looking through the transparent glass of the Poké Ball at Eternatus in its normal, listless form, he grinned.

This could be considered... his first tamed mythical beast, right?

Whoosh—!!!

The people who rushed back, after seeing Xia Yan's actions, were initially in an uproar, but then erupted into a huge cheer.

It's captured!

Xia Yan has captured "Yamiya"!

From now on, they no longer need to worry that "Dark Night" will bring disaster to their Galar region again.

As for...

Xia Yan, a champion from the Sinnoh region, has captured a legendary Pokémon from their Galar region. Won't they feel uncomfortable about that...?

Isn't it perfectly normal for a "divine beast summoner" to tame a divine beast?

Moreover.

Even though they didn't know the specific details of the entire defeat process, they still saw from afar the scene of Xia Yan riding Zacian and Zamazenta towards Mugentana.

Whoever defeats a Pokémon captures it; this is an unwritten rule among Pokémon trainers.

"Xia Yan!"

Seeing this, Wataru and the others rushed over from a short distance and landed beside him.

"Wow, a dragon-type legendary Pokémon..." Lance clicked his tongue, looking slightly envious.

The key point is that although Eternatus doesn't have a Flying-type, it can fly.

"Thank you, Xia Yan."

Dan Di expressed his sincere gratitude and bowed slightly to Xia Yan.

This bow represents all the residents of the Galar region and the entire Galar region.

Therefore, Xia Yan did not refuse.

"Senior Xia Yan, you're not going to summon it during the tournament later, are you?" Kona blinked and asked with a hint of curiosity.

Xia Yan: "..."

He opened his mouth.

Originally, given Xia Yan's personality, he might actually have summoned this Eternatus to show off during the tournament.

Although Wuji Taina is not as strong as it is now after shedding all negative emotions and the energy it was injected with.

But it is a divine beast after all, and its base stats are over a thousand points after reaching Gigantamax.

But now that Kona has asked this question, Xia Yan really doesn't know how to respond.

"Probably not?" Daigo looked at him with a slightly teasing expression.

I silently gave Kobe a thumbs up in my heart.

Now we're blocking that possibility right here.

To prevent them from suffering the consequences later.

Cynthia, who also noticed his awkward expression, covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Don't worry. He won't."

As his gaze swept over the increasingly strange smiles of the people in front of him, Xia Yan lowered the brim of his hat to block his view.

He said slowly, "Even without Mugentana, wouldn't it still be a piece of cake for me to beat you up?"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

No one felt any negative emotions because of Xia Yan's "bold words".

I was just happy that he was "bullied" by them with his words.

Hearing their laughter, Xia Yan shrugged.

He glanced down again at the Poké Ball containing Eternatus, and slowly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Cynthia couldn't help but ask, noticing Xia Yan's change in mood.

Xia Yan pursed his lips.

"It just feels...too simple, too smooth."

He subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Wujitai was defeated and also subdued.

But within the slowly dissipating dark clouds in the sky, there was a huge, thick cloud of interwoven black and red, which showed no sign of dissipating.

He knew that this was the "negative emotion" or "dark energy" left behind by Anuttara.

and.

It also incorporates a large amount of "life energy" that has been absorbed and transformed by the Wuji Tana.

"Is that easy?!" Watari's eyes widened.

You didn't see it, but in order to stop the rampaging Eternatus, their group of spirits were almost completely depleted.

If it weren't for Daigo's "resources," they probably would have all collapsed long ago.

Is that simple?

“No.” Xia Yan shook his head, hesitated briefly, and then explained, “That’s not what I meant. I meant to say… that person who made Wujitana so strong, who spent so much time and effort and resources, just watched us subdue Wujitana?”

They didn't intend to stop it?

Xia Yan was wary of Suzuki's appearance from beginning to end.

But I don't know why.

Apart from Zacian and Zamazent initially encountering someone who might be Suzuki in the "Sleeping Forest," they haven't appeared again.

What was his purpose?

clap clap-

But at that moment...

A soft but clear round of applause came from not far away.

Hearing the applause, Xia Yan suddenly jolted awake and abruptly looked up.

really.

I saw Suzuki, still wearing that greasy white coat.

His face was beaming with smiles, a mixture of relief and barely suppressed excitement.

"Who are you?!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Dan Di unconsciously frowned and demanded.

Wataru licked his lips, slowly narrowed his eyes, silently shielded Xia Yan and the others behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid... he's the one who made Mukita so strong and go berserk."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly became extremely serious.

Xia Yan really has a jinx; whatever he says comes true.

but.

Now that they've defeated such a powerful Eternatus, are they afraid of a mere trainer?

call--

Xia Yan slowly exhaled, walked to the front of the group, and looked at Suzuki, who had a big smile on his face.

Suzuki.

I couldn't discern any emotion in Xia Yan's words.

Suzuki's smile remained unchanged as he nodded and said, "Ah, thank you for your hard work."

"Ok?"

Suzuki shrugged in response to Xia Yan's question.

"You know, right? This thing that you see as evil energy is actually a kind of energy, or rather, a kind of poison."

As he spoke, a green gem radiating a dazzling glow appeared in his hand at some unknown time.

Life's precious gem!

Xia Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Suzuki continued, "However, this kind of energy really cannot be contained by ordinary containers and tools."

As he spoke, the "Jade of Life" in his hand suddenly emitted an increasingly rich and dazzling halo.

In a short time.

In the ruins of Quan Guan City, tender shoots sprouted from the ruins and grew rapidly, turning the place into a lush green expanse.

This is the power of the Jewel of Life!

"I was actually quite helpless at first, because only elves can serve as its vessel. Or rather, only some elves can serve as its vessel."

Carrier?

As Xia Yan was stunned, the image of Suzuki's ancient giant Gengar flashed through his mind!

So... for Suzuki, that Gengar was merely a "container"? A "vessel"?

"But you and Arceus have made me aware of this."

His face showed a hint of madness, distortion, and even insanity.

He slowly raised the "Jade of Life" in his hand.

"So, stone slabs are the best medium!"

The words fell.

A portion of the black and red mist that lingered in the air and had not yet completely dissipated seemed to be summoned by something, and quickly converged towards the "Jade of Life" in his hand.
