Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Seeing this scene.

Although they didn't know what Suzuki was planning, Wataru and Tante, vaguely aware of the importance of the matter, prepared to take action.

But Xia Yan stopped him.

Under their questioning gazes, Xia Yan said in a deep voice, "We can't stop them."

The result of trying to stop them.

Only I myself was "contaminated".

Seeing Natsuhiko's actions, Suzuki raised an eyebrow and his smile widened.

It was immediately visible.

After absorbing the black and red energy, the emerald green "Life Jewel" in Suzuki's hand slowly spread out with strands of black and red intertwined threads.

Ultimately, the entire "Jade of Life" was completely dyed black and red.

at the same time.

The green plants that had grown in the ruins of Hammerlocke City because of the "Stone of Life" were withering rapidly at a visible rate.

It eventually turned into blackish-gray powder and dissipated into the air.

Looking at the black and red "Jewel of Life" in his hand, Suzuki showed a look of intoxication, as if he were admiring some priceless treasure.

I gently stroked its smooth surface.

"Do you know the joy of harvesting fruit? When I was in Golden City, my favorite thing to do was to see the trees I planted laden with plump, round fruits."

Xia Yan ignored him, and Suzuki started talking to himself again, acting crazy.

"But actually, what I like most is the thrill of cutting down the fruit tree after the harvest... Now, thank you for helping me cut off the useless 'branches'..."

Daigo cautiously nudged Natsuhiko and whispered, "Natsuhiko, this guy is a madman."

Xia Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Have you ever seen a normal villain?

Daigo pursed his lips, pondered for a long time, and then uttered two words, "That's true."

"so."

Xia Yan suddenly took another step forward, looking directly at the "Life Jewel" in Suzuki's hand, and said in a calm tone, "What do you plan to do? Will you give this 'Life Jewel' and all the energy you've collected to a Pokémon to absorb?"

Suzuki raised an eyebrow.

He became interested and nodded slightly, saying, "That's right."

Xia Yan gently rubbed his chin. "Then let me guess which Pokémon you'll let absorb it..."

Suzuki looked on with interest, waiting for Natsuhiko to give his answer.

"Gengar?"

Before Suzuki could show any disappointment, Natsuhiko shook his head. "No, no, no, according to your 'lofty' goals, ordinary Pokémon, even ancient giant Pokémon, cannot meet your requirements. After all, even ancient giant Pokémon are, in the end, just ordinary Pokémon."

Suzuki nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

“So, it must be some kind of divine beast or mythical beast,” Xia Yan continued his “speculation.”

Wataru and Daigo, who were standing behind Xia Yan, looked at each other in bewilderment.

What are these two people doing?

There was a strong sense of hostility between the two of them.

But now, are we playing a "guessing game"?

I don't know.

For Natsuhiko and Suzuki, this was actually a contest from another angle.

For example...

layout!

“I understand!” Xia Yan suddenly looked up, smiling at Suzuki, and slowly uttered a name, “Mukitana!”

Upon hearing this, Suzuki's expression froze for the first time, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes as he looked at Natsuhiko with considerable surprise.

But he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Mukutana? Isn't it in your hands?"

Wataru and Cynthia also looked puzzled.

Could it be... that there's only one Wujita?

But that shouldn't be the case.

Even if there were two mythical beasts of this caliber, they should have already decided their victor and one should have survived in ancient times.

"In my hand?" Xia Yan's smile widened, even revealing a hint of mockery. "This one? Did I say that the one in your hand is the Eternal Tana of this world?"

Not from this world?

Everyone was stunned.

But Suzuki's expression slowly darkened.

A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

obviously.

His change in expression proved that Xia Yan's "guess" was correct.

but.

Suzuki quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "What's the basis for that?"

Xia Yan shrugged.

"You really think I went to that world and did nothing? Otherwise, how would I know your target would be Mukyuu Tana?"

Xia Yan had confirmed one point back then.

The Mugentana from the special episode world did not appear.

even.

There isn't even a legend about "Dark Night".

To know.

In the special episode world, all regions have been open for a long time, unlike this world where the Alola and Galar regions have only been open for a short time.

How could there be no legends about "Dark Night"?

There's probably only one reason.

As he spoke, Xia Yan even laughed, "Otherwise, why do you think I didn't make a single move after I knew your target was Mukden, and just stood here guarding the city?"

Waiting for A-Ju?

Think more.

Given A-Ju's status, perhaps a year or so ago, Xia Yan would have been wary of him and would have paid more attention to him.

But now, does it really matter whether Ah-Ju helps him or not?

Upon hearing this, the coldness in Suzuki's eyes indeed intensified.

Xia Yan waved his hand, "Alright. I'm waiting for your next move. Stop pretending to be crazy."

Suzuki squinted.

He looked at Xia Yan with some suspicion.

What does he mean?

Is he just bluffing, or does he really have the confidence and assurance?

This moment.

Suzuki found himself somewhat unable to understand Natsuhiko.

He slowly exhaled.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Whether you can see through it or not, whether you have prepared in advance or not, it doesn't matter anymore.

There's no reason why Suzuki's preparations over so many years should be completely neutralized by Natsuhiko, a "greenhorn" who's only been a trainer for a few years.

"In that case, let's do it."

talking.

Suzuki threw out the old-fashioned Poké Ball in his hand.

cry--!!!

As the ancient Poké Ball opened, a familiar yet unfamiliar roar once again reverberated throughout Motostoke City and its surroundings.

The thick, dark clouds that had just dispersed descended once more, teetering on the brink of collapse like a crumbling castle.

A terrifying vortex, no less terrifying than before, has reappeared.

The "Bone Dragon" Mugentana appeared once again in the sky above Hammerlocke City.

The residents of Quanguan City, who had just run back, were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Why did it appear again?

Wasn't he already subdued by Xia Yan, the champion?

It's not just them.

Even Zacian and Zamazent, who had just regained some strength, were filled with astonishment when they saw another Mugentai appear.

However, their senses are much clearer than those of the residents of Motogakure.

The feeling this Anuttara gave them was not entirely the same as the feeling given by the previous Anuttara.

Is this the second Eternatus?!

Even Zacian and Zamazent, two old rivals of Eternatus, thought they were hallucinating when they saw the second Eternatus.
