Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Instead, it was the two people who reported their Pokémon that were displayed on the big screen.

Daigo's spirit was already shown when he made his appearance.

They are: Metagross, Aggron, Heatran, Tyranitar, Crypt Lily, and Skarmory.

And when Xia Yan's spirit appears.

The audience erupted in uproar once again.

Whoosh—!

Next to Yu Xiayan's portrait with his hat on, six flashing "Poké Balls" opened one by one.

The Pokémon featured are: Alakazam, Infernape, Aegislash, Togekiss, Solgaleo, and finally... Groudon!

Groudon?!

Solgaleo already appeared in the previous match against Giovanni.

Although he didn't participate in the battle, he scared Giovanni away as soon as he appeared.

This time it's even more outrageous.

Besides Solgaleo, it's actually Groudon, an ancient legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region!

Let the champion of the Hoenn region experience battling against the legendary Pokémon of the region ahead of time?

Inside the private room.

Crimson, Green, and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

Chi Hong opened his mouth.

For a moment, I didn't even know what to say.

What does that mean?

Because Steven in this world has not experienced the battles against Groudon and Kyogre, Xia Yan wants to make up for this "gap" for him.

Good guy.

That's really "well thought out".

I think so.

At this time.

Ignoring the angry stares from everyone around him, Ah Jin, sitting in the corner of the private box, rubbed his cue stick and began to speak to himself:

"I think, why don't we just let the organizers award the first place to Teacher Xia Yan directly, and let everyone compete for second place? What do you think of that?"

Some people wanted to refute this.

But I really didn't know how to start the conversation.

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.

If Xia Yan really uses divine beasts in every match, then it really seems like there's no need to continue fighting.

Many people turned to look at Dandi, the person in charge of the event.

But then, the Pill Emperor rested his chin on his hand and slowly said:

"I think... even divine beasts aren't entirely without a chance to fight."

"I agree."

Du was the first to speak.

Under everyone's gaze, he explained, "During the last Masters Tournament, both Daigo and Cynthia summoned legendary Pokémon when facing Natsuhiko, but who ultimately won? It was still Natsuhiko."

After a brief pause, he continued, "So, even if Xia Yan really wants to use the divine beast, that's not a reason for us to just give up."

Aren't there already quite a few mythical beasts appearing in this competition?

The three divine pillars of the Age of Gods, Natsuhiko's Latios, Sirona's Reggie Ellechi, Daigo's Sidorane, and Sakaki's Earth Cloud.

It turns out.

Mythical beasts are indeed powerful, but they are not entirely invincible.

otherwise.

Even the mighty Mugentsuna ultimately fell to Xia Yan's hands?

The prerequisite for him to be able to control the divine beasts is that Xia Yan did something that earned him the recognition of the divine beasts.

This includes defeating other mythical beasts.

"Legendary level!"

He spoke with burning red eyes.

Yes, legendary!

Suddenly, everyone remembered what Xia Yan had mentioned about this special level that existed yet seemed to not exist.

If we're talking about what level of training an elf needs to reach to fight against a legendary beast, then it has to be at the legendary level!

Crimson's words seemed to give everyone a new direction.

If one can break through to the legendary level, it's not necessarily true that one will completely lose the ability to fight against Xia Yan's divine beast.

All of this is based on the premise that...

They cannot show any fear before they have actually faced Xia Yan in battle.

What they could think of, Daigo on the field naturally thought of as well.

He took a deep look at Xia Yan and the Rahiram beneath him, and instantly understood what Xia Yan meant.

After taking a deep breath, he said, "Xia Yan, are you trying to motivate me to become stronger this way?"

Ok?

Is the pressure from the legendary Pokémon spurring him to find the path to becoming a legendary Pokémon?

Just like in the previous round when Xia Yan and Giovanni battled, Giovanni used his Beedrill to battle Xia Yan's Beedrill, so that Xia Yan's Beedrill could be promoted to the Legendary level.

Xia Yan conveyed Sakaki's "will" to force himself to improve by using the pressure brought by the divine beast?

Daigo deeply felt Natsuhiko's "good intentions".

Xia Yan: "..."

Hearing Daigo's words, Natsuhiko was stunned for a moment.

Daigo, aren't you over-interpreting things?

"Don't worry, Xia Yan. Even if you summon a divine beast, I will never give up easily!"

Daigo's expression was extremely serious.

"Uh...yeah, good luck, Daigo."

Xia Yan decided to go along with Daigo's wishes.

So as not to damage his confidence.

"Ahem, both players, please prepare yourselves!"

The referee raised his flag high, stood on the Shielded Sword Monster, and quickly retreated to create distance.

There might be mythical beasts involved in the battle!

This round could be life-threatening.

Daigo raised his arm, held the Poké Ball behind his back, and looked into the distance. He saw that Xia Yan had also held a Poké Ball, and the smile on his face and the ring on his fair finger shone brightly.

"Battle begins!"

On the big screen, the images of Natsuhiko and Daigo clashed and crossed with a crisp, resounding clang.

"Go!" Daigo's eyes narrowed, and he threw a Poké Ball. "Tyranitar!"

In an instant.

A fierce sandstorm swept across the field, and the massive, dark green Pokémon that had just emerged from its Poké Ball landed with a deafening roar.

"Roar!!!"

It's Bangiras again.

However, compared to Giovanni's Tyranitar with its defensive mechanism, Steven's training method is obviously very different, so even though it is the same Pokémon, the feeling it gives people is completely different.

Steven's Tyranitar focuses more on controlling the field and controlling the "sandstorm".

At the same moment.

Xia Yan's Poké Ball landed on the field and opened with a "bang".

As the spirits appeared, countless invisible threads of superpowers spread out.

The raging sandstorm was forcibly carved out a vacuum zone by this powerful superpower.

The sandstorm, under Tyranitar's control, is forcefully attempting to break through Alakazam's psychic repulsion.

just.

Even though the sandstorm had gathered and swirled into a terrifying sandstorm tornado, it still couldn't get even a fraction of a second closer to the Hun lands.

The battle has not yet fully begun.

Xia Yan's Alakazam and Daigo's Tyranitar have already clashed over sandstorms and psychic powers.

"Hudi?"

Daigo raised an eyebrow.

Judging solely from their attributes, Xia Yan's Alakazam would definitely have an advantage over Steven's Tyranitar, given that Tyranitar is a Dark-type Pokémon.

However, Daigo wouldn't simply look at Xia Yan's Pokémon from the perspective of its attributes.

Alakazam is undoubtedly the absolute number one core member of Xia Yan's lineup.

His Tyranitar, also in his lineup, bears the important responsibility of being the primary core.

and so.
