Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"The two contestants..."

The referee, seeing that the two players hadn't made a move, wanted to offer a reminder.

But at this moment, Xiao Yin, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

"Teacher Xia Yan... he's really not your son?"

Sakaki: "???"

Xia Yan: "???"

Everyone: "???"

The people in the private room kept glancing at Xia Yan.

Black hair, brown hair, Beedrill, likes to scheming...

Furthermore, even though they knew Xia Yan was the champion, they still chose to believe in him.

It's not impossible!

They are even willing to let Xia Yan take charge of reforming the Rockets.

This is practically equivalent to preparing to hand over the Rockets to Xia Yan, isn't it?

No, it was a delivery before.

The current situation is...

inherit!

Sensing the strange looks from everyone, Xia Yan said irritably, "What are you thinking?! I'm an orphan."

"Oh--"

Everyone gave a meaningful "oh".

But this sounded anything but like an expression of agreement.

Orphan?

The probability has increased by another 10%.

Xia Yan reluctantly pressed his hat down further.

This thing is hard to explain.

No, and it doesn't need explaining.

On the field.

After listening to Xiaoyin's words, Sakaki thoughtfully rubbed his chin.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face at some point.

He said slowly, "It's not entirely impossible."

Xia Yan: "!

! ”

Xia Yan, inside the private room, stared wide-eyed.

No.

Boss Sakaki, you can make up something like that?

What if someone actually believes it?

The affirmation in the eyes of the others in the private room was becoming increasingly obvious.

"No wonder." Little Silver nodded thoughtfully.

Then.

The battle between Sakaki and Gin had only just begun.

only.

What Xia Yan initially perceived as a "father-son game" turned into a "boring" and ordinary match.

Xiao Yin is very talented and strong.

But alas, he encountered Sakaki.

The young "son" can never beat the mature "father".

Ultimately, it was Sakaki who successfully advanced to the round of 16.

Only one game remains.

The last match of the first round of the knockout stage of the World Championship.

Natsuhiko VS Genji!

...

...

"Ladies and gentlemen! What follows is the final match of the first round of our knockout tournament!"

"

All the matches in the entire knockout stage were quite exciting.

The final match will be between Xia Yan, currently the most popular character in the entire Pokémon world, and the veteran Dragon-type Elite Four member, Genji.

The cheers and excitement were no less than at any of the previous events.

"Now! Let's welcome the two teams to the match!"

"First of all! Our Hoenn region's veteran Elite Four member, the man who can conquer the sea, the Dragon-type Elite Four member, Genji!"

"

King Genji!

This is a true veteran Elite Four member of the Hoenn region and a pillar of the Hoenn League.

Her status is almost equivalent to that of Kikuko in the Kanto Alliance.

He almost single-handedly supported the succession of the entire Hoenn League.

Now that Daigo has successfully become the champion of the Hoenn League and has witnessed the growth of younger generations such as Wallace and Fuyou, veteran Elite Four member Genji is also ready to retire at any time.

This competition is very likely to be the last one he participates in.

"Next up! Our Sinnoh champion, the great one known as the master of tactics, favored by many legendary Pokémon, Sinnoh Champion, Xia Yan—!"

"

"Xia Yan, Champion!"

"

"Xia Yan, Champion!"

"

With Xia Yan's popularity in the Galar region second only to Dante, coupled with the cheers from spectators who came from all over the world, the cheers were the most enthusiastic since the start of the elimination rounds.

Looking at the old man and the young man standing in the arena.

This happens to represent both the past and present of the alliance.

Many older viewers only realized this at this point.

It turns out that I've gotten older without even realizing it.

But they are even more aware of it.

A brand new future for the alliance may... begin at this very moment, with a new chapter written by Xia Yan and others!

Chapter 242 Natsuhiko VS Genji (Part 1)

With the appearance of Natsuhiko and Genji.

On the big screen, images of the two people, along with six Poké Balls next to them, were displayed.

Once the two stood still, the six Poké Balls transformed into the images of different Pokémon, each representing the Pokémon they would use in this battle.

It's not just for all the viewers to see, but also so that the two of them can see each other.

Next to Genji's portrait are six Pokémon: Salamence, Altaria, Flygon, Poisonous Algae Dragon, Kingdra, and Haxorus.

Next to Xia Yan's portrait are six Pokémon: Sirfetch'd, Milotic, Volcarona, Salamence, Goodra, and... Ninetales.

Ok? !

After seeing the lineup Xia Yan had prepared, not only the audience but even his friends were somewhat confused.

"Oh no. Teacher Xia Yan overdid it, sending a team of babies to fight against the legendary Genji? This is a veteran legend!"

Akin's words sounded regretful.

But you could hear the obvious schadenfreude in his expression and tone.

They knew a little about Xia Yan's Pokémon, especially Milotic, Volcarona, Salamence, and Goodra.

All of them are Xia Yan's second-tier Pokémon, and they don't appear in battles or show up very often.

It is said that they are all near-Elite Four level Pokémon.

Is it a bit too much to be arrogant to use this lineup to fight against a veteran king like Genji?

"Okay, Ah Jin. I've recorded it all for you."

"I'm smiling," said Qibana, tossing his phone around.

Upon hearing this...

Ajin's expression immediately fell.

next second.

He suddenly became extremely "fierce and menacing," grabbing his golf club and charging towards Cibana without hesitation, shouting, "Cibana! I've had enough of you!"
