Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Upon seeing this, Nidona immediately and affectionately licked its paw.

It smiled and contentedly patted Nidona's head.

This creature gets along extremely well with wild elves.

It is Mewtwo, who now lives on a small island in the vast ocean.

Xia Yan nodded.

"Mewtwo, haven't you always wanted to figure out how humans and Pokémon should live together? In this tournament, I believe you will see many scenes that will change your previous views."

Upon hearing this, Mewtwo paused slightly.

With a flick of his wrist, a huge silver spoon appeared in his hand, enveloped in a mist of superpowered energy.

Stand up slowly.

【Yeah.】

A hint of excitement flickered in his triangular eyes.

Seeing Mewtwo's stance, Xia Yan's smile widened even more.

He stood up and clapped his hands.

"Simply put, there are too many misunderstandings and misconceptions about you mythical beasts. I think this is an opportunity for you mythical beasts and us humans to truly live together in peace."

At least, some people won't turn pale at the mere mention of one of your names anymore. Right, Xiao Gu?

【Hmm? Me? Oh, okay—】

In the fiery red lava world, a huge head emerged from the scorching hot magma. Groudon, with a somewhat dazed expression, seemed to have taken a break.

"Little Gu, listen up! I'm talking about legendary Pokémon like you. You start fighting Kyogre the moment you appear. Who knows what you're really like?"

Yes, I understand.

When Groudon saw Xia Yan glaring at it, the memories of those days adrift at sea flashed through its mind once again.

He immediately nodded his huge head obediently, like someone pounding garlic.

"You heard that too, didn't you, Kyogre?"

Against the backdrop of a vast, azure ocean where countless water sprites swam by in groups, Kyogre, straining to keep its eyes open, heard Xia Yan's words.

First, she cautiously glanced at Groudon, whom she had never seen so well-behaved, and then scanned the other legendary Pokémon behind the golden rings.

She nodded obediently.

This was the first time Kyogre had attended a meeting of this caliber. Seeing so many legendary Pokémon and recalling the time he and Groudon were brutally beaten, he decisively confirmed his place in the world.

"Just look at how popular Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia are in the Sinnoh region right now. This is an opportunity; you can consider it yourselves."

Xia Yan spread his hands out.

The gaze shifted to another golden ring.

Inside was a canyon, where the white dragon Reshiram and the black dragon Zekrom appeared simultaneously.

Noticing Xia Yan's gaze, Reshiram and Zekrom exchanged a glance.

They had agreed to it.

Help Xia Yan become a "legend," including but not limited to fighting against divine beasts and enemies.

but.

Participating in major competitions doesn't really count as part of becoming a "legend," does it?

Even though they now have such a good relationship with Xia Yan.

If Xia Yan requests it, they certainly won't refuse.

But if it's just a choice...

Seemingly understanding Reshiram and the others' intentions, Xia Yan grinned and said:

"For all those who have signed up, I will build a temple for you afterwards, just like I did for Giratina and the others."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, all the mythical beasts were taken aback.

They've been eyeing Giratina's "Creation Temple" for a long time.

Lehiram and Zekrom both gave Xia Yan a deep look.

She truly deserves the person I've chosen.

Ok?

The black and white dragons, having understood each other's thoughts, stared at each other.

Is reality in conflict with ideals again?

There's no conflict!

Rahim: [The so-called truth is nothing more than being realistic, striving to be pragmatic, and pursuing the true meaning. From your words, I understand your understanding of truth. Therefore...]

Czech Republic, Röhm: [I'm participating.]

Ok?

Rahiram looked puzzled.

Czechoslovakia remained unfazed.

What we call an ideal is what lies beyond reality. A promise you make, until it is fulfilled, remains an ideal.

Xia Yan's expression was strange.

Simply put, the concept of "ideal" is even more absurd than "reality." Everything can be explained by "ideal" before it becomes reality.

Just like this time.

The "benefits" Xia Yan promised were seen as his true self by Rehiram, while by Zekrom, they were merely ideals until those "benefits" were achieved.

and so.

Xia Yan quietly gave Czechoslovakia a thumbs up.

You're even more "real" than the "real dragon," truly a master conman and "idealist."

[Ahem. I'm not here for any temple, I just...want to see how humans and elves interact.]

Can you believe that these words were spoken by Liekongzuo?

Xia Yan nodded with a smile.

Rahiram looked wary.

On this day, it felt that all the mythical beasts present were threatening its status as the "True Dragon".

The authority of "truth" trembled slightly.

Hey, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?

It was still a lush area, and amidst the vibrant green, a tiny, cell-like green entity, appearing extremely small compared to the other divine beasts, opened its mouth.

The core of the Gigeld cell.

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

What are you trying to say?

The core of the Zygarde cell took a solemn look, appearing extremely serious.

I... am willing to participate.

puff--

Before Xia Yan could even laugh out loud, the Zygarde Cell Core hurriedly emphasized:

Don't misunderstand. I'm not here for any temple. I want to promote the concepts of balance and order so that more people can accept and learn them. Protecting world order is everyone's responsibility.

Rahiram: No, the authority of 'truth' is starting to shake violently.

These mythical beasts actually want to compete with it for the authority of 'truth'?

Rashiram's eyes gradually took on a hint of danger.

By the way, are meals provided?

Rahiram suddenly had a thought.

Hearing its questioning voice, the mythical beasts simultaneously perked up.

Groudon, in particular, with its docile appearance, immediately raised its head.

I'm all energized now.

Xia Yan's expression froze upon hearing this.

These guys, when it comes to appetite, none of them are simple eaters.

However, Xia Yan nodded and said frankly, "I'll take care of it!"

Anyway, the athletes' village provides free meals.

The one who should be feeling the headache is Dan Di, not him.

【roar--!!!】

Groudon suddenly roared, and the magma it was bathing in erupted wildly like a volcano. The scorching heat from the Crimson World seemed to pierce through the golden ring and rush towards Xia Yan's face.

"Xiao Gu, what are you doing?"

Xia Yan was startled by Groudon's sudden roar and couldn't help but roar back.

【Me, me, me.......】

Groudon immediately wilted after Xia Yan's shout and whispered:

I want to participate.

Xia Yan: "..."

I couldn't help but pat my forehead.
