Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

【Green vs. Crimson】!

This is the real old rival.

For the audience, this might just be a contest between two teachers from "Rainbow Academy".

It has its highlights, but not as many as its other strengths.

But for Xia Yan...

Ye Qing is back!

This is truly a nostalgic moment for me!

Xia Yan really didn't expect that he would see his old rivals, Qinglv and Chihong, compete and fight again in this world.

It sounds like it would be quite interesting.

"Let's go. Let's submit the list of elves."

Xia Yan waved his hand, signaling to everyone.

After the battle rosters are finalized, each team must submit their prepared Pokémon to the tournament organizers to ensure the smooth running of the competition.

There will be a period of time in between for all players to think about the preparation and arrangement of their Pokémon.

However, Xia Yan and his group knew each other well enough that they didn't need to think too much about it.

...

Backstage area of ​​the competition.

As everyone submitted their Pokémon one by one, the organizers registered them.

When it was Xia Yan's turn...

When the staff member saw the elf that Xia Yan handed over, his eyes widened immediately.

With his mouth wide open, he made a "ho ho" sound, not knowing how to start speaking for a moment.

After a while.

After swallowing hard with a "gulp," he finally spoke, "Xia... Xia Yan Champion, are you serious?"

Chapter 250 Xia Yan VS Dawu (Part 1)

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first round of the World Championship 'Eight Masters' Tournament!"

The showdown, the pinnacle of the Pokémon world, has begun. Accompanied by the rousing commentary, the sky above Palace City is filled with the continuous cheers of the audience.

"Now, let's welcome the two teams facing off in the first round, they are—"

The brief pause was only to elicit even more excited shouts from the audience.

"Daigo Zuvoki from the Hoenn region—!!"

In the contestant passage, a young man with short silver-blue hair stepped out slowly upon hearing the sound. He slightly adjusted the red bow tie and delicate cuffs of his suit, and gently touched the exquisite and translucent keystone lapel pin that adorned them, appearing in everyone's sight.

A smile appeared in his deep blue eyes, along with an unyielding will.

Behind him were the powerful elves who were invigorating themselves with him in the lounge.

A powerful team composed entirely of Steel and Rock-type Pokémon, it could even be called one of the top defensive teams in the Pokémon world today!

The signature shiny Metagross, all bright white; the massive and gleaming Aggron; Heatran, crawling like a volcano gathering strength; the ferocious Tyranitar, with its dark green, hard armor; the Cradle Lily awakening from a fossil; and finally, the Skarmory, its body covered in silver armor and sharp blades!

These imposing Pokémon transformed into streaks of red light and returned to the Poké Balls on Steven's waist.

A dazzling beam of light converged.

Under the brilliant light, Daigo's gentle smile earned him cheers from countless girls.

"Daigo-san!!!"

Screams rose and fell.

If we were to ask who is the strongest among the young people in the Pokémon world today, I estimate that over 90% of the audience would choose Xia Yan.

But if we're talking about who the best candidate is in the current Pokémon world, almost 99% of the girls would choose Daigo without hesitation.

after all.

Who wouldn't like a guy who is capable, good-looking, and, more importantly, wealthy and gentle?

The nation's husband, nothing more.

"Daigo's entrance was absolutely spectacular."

Even Du couldn't help but sigh at the sight.

“After all, the opponent is Teacher Xia Yan, so Mr. Daigo must adjust himself to the best condition.” Qinglu nodded.

"I remember that Steven from our world was able to fight against both Groudon and Kyogre at the same time. But it seems that Steven from this world doesn't have such an experience. However, judging from what Teacher Xia Yan said, it seems that Steven from this world is stronger?"

"Red said softly."

He did not shy away from discussing the two worlds, because everyone present already knew each other's identities.

"To simultaneously contend with Groudon and Kyogre?"

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

It is precisely because of their understanding of Groudon and Kyogre's power that they are amazed that someone could simultaneously contend with these two.

“I remember Professor Xia Yan was involved too, right?” Qinglu added.

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

With Xia Yan involved, it seems to make sense.

Crimson and cyan didn't explain the details much either, because they didn't know much about it either.

but.

That experience is enough to prove just how strong Daigo is in the world where Crimson and the others live.

However, Xia Yan, who has a good understanding of Daigo in both worlds, claims that the Daigo they know is stronger.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Daigo as he walked into the arena.

"I really want to know what kind of expression Mr. Daigo would have if he met Kyogre and Groudon in this world," Red murmured.

After the frenzied cheers gradually subsided, the host's voice finally rang out again.

"And our other contestant, Xia Yan from the Sinnoh region—!!"

"Xia Yan, Champion!"

"Dr. Xia Yan!"

"Divine Beast Man!!"

The cheers that Natsuhiko received when he appeared were no less than those that Daigo received when he appeared.

In fact, it's even more exaggerated.

After all, Xia Yan's popularity in the Galar region is much higher than Daigo's, second only to Leon.

Dressed in a black fitted suit, and holding a black top hat that has gradually become a trend among some young trainers, the hem of his suit fluttered in the wind even though there was no wind, simply because of the creature beneath him.

When Xia Yan stepped out of the dark contestant tunnel and appeared under the bright lights, the entire arena suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

After lasting for a full three seconds, the boiling sound seemed to shatter the entire palace arena.

"Holy crap! Xia Yan's championship is truly...outrageous!"

"If he says he's second best, then absolutely no one would dare say he's first!"

"What's going on? Are they trying to intimidate Daigo, or are they trying to intimidate us?"

"..."

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Xia Yan slowly walked onto the field.

Even Daigo, who was sitting opposite him, had his gentle smile frozen on his face.

Inside the private room.

Du was completely stunned.

Just a second ago, he was saying that Daigo's entrance was quite impressive.

The next second, he was proven wrong.

In terms of how he makes his entrance, no one can compare to Xia Yan.

After a long while, Du finally calmed down, took a deep breath, and said fiercely:

"Xia Yan is really something else. He actually rode Reshiram into the game?"

Rashiram?

Yes.

At this moment, Xia Yan was riding on the back of Reshiram, who looked like he had twin ponytails and was dazzlingly beautiful.

He walked slowly out of the athletes' tunnel.

Riding a divine beast, or even a divine beast like Reshiram.

Such an entrance is something that has never happened before, and probably never will happen again.

Xia Yan, dressed entirely in black, formed a striking color contrast with Reshiram, who was dressed entirely in white.

"Cough—cough cough—what a truly amazing entrance!"

Even the host was speechless for a long time because of Xia Yan's high-profile entrance.

Daigo also realized what was happening.

With a slight twitch of his lips, he looked at his dearest friend.

That's going too far.

That's really going too far.

But the worst part isn't actually that.
