Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

A louder and more unrestrained roar erupted, as if venting a long-suppressed pent-up will.

The molten, scorching red magma was even more turbulent than that of Heatran.

Meanwhile, the lava beneath Seadra's feet turned into a small stream.

Wow!

!

That fiery red, enormous figure, with its ferocious and heavy red armor, was majestic yet imposing.

"Holy crap! It really is Groudon!"

"I thought Xia Yan's championship was just for show, to bluff people, but... he actually brought Groudon to the arena?"

"Groudon participating in a competition, is this unprecedented and likely to remain so?"

They made their appearance.

It was none other than Groudon, the ancient legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region and the god of the earth!

It was being forced to stay in the Poké Ball by Xia Yan, and it was getting really bored.

Groudon would never have agreed to such a request if Xia Yan hadn't promised to feed it, even if the person in question was Xia Yan.

Standing on the ground, Heatran's face was stiff. He blinked twice and looked at Groudon again to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

He turned his head stiffly to look at Daigo.

Seriously?

Should we send it to fight Groudon?

Although it is a divine beast, it does not hold any divine office.

Moreover, being born from magma, it was well aware of the power of the Groudon in front of it, making it much easier than a father beating his son.

Daigo's eye twitched.

He pursed his lips and said seriously, "Sidoran, don't underestimate yourself."

Sidson: "..."

Is this a matter of belittling oneself or others?

Groudon looked down at Heatran from his high vantage point.

His eyes were full of contempt.

It also turned around and glanced at Xia Yan.

That's it?

Little Gaga?

Xia Yan nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips, and announced loudly, "Groudon, Precipice Sword!"

The feeling of commanding Groudon to use "Cliff Sword" is quite different from the feeling of commanding Infernape.

Roar--!

!

Groudon spread its arms and roared to the sky.

Boom!

A massive crack suddenly burst open beneath his feet, and molten lava surged wildly upwards along the crack.

For the first time, Heatran on the opposite side felt that magma was so uncontrollable.

If it were another Pokémon, it might be able to put up a fight against Groudon.

However, when Heatran faced Groudon, he was completely and utterly suppressed by Groudon.

and so.

There's some truth to what Sidson said about "fathers beating their sons."

This is a dimensional reduction attack.

next second.

boom!

!

With a sound like a bomb exploding, the entire vast Palace City Arena shook violently, and a huge, fiery red rock pillar suddenly rose up.

The weak, helpless, and pitiful Seadra could only watch helplessly as the magma that had once been at its command enveloped it and carried it toward the direction where the rock pillar was being uprooted.

Then he was lifted into the air above the arena barrier.

After a crisp "crack".

"Hooray! Finally! We've finally waited for it. 'Barrier Breaker' Xia Yan Champion has finally broken the screen!"

"What are you getting so excited about? Run!"

"Holy crap! The lava's coming!"

Inside the shattered arena, the weak, helpless, and pitiful referee trembled as he announced the result.

"Sid-Sidran is unable to fight, Groudon wins! So, congratulations to Xia Yan for successfully advancing to the semifinals!"

Xia Yan's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the energy barrier that had been punctured with a large hole.

"I was so stupid, really. Of all the people I could have chosen, I had to pick Groudon."

I couldn't help but glance at Daigo across from me, whose expression was somewhat blank.

"However, this match was between Daigo and me, so he should cover the cost of repairing the damaged barrier, right?"

Okay. Let him pay!

Chapter 254 The Final Four are revealed!

"No, Xia Yan, are you serious?"

Inside the private room.

Besides the contestants who need to prepare for the competition, those who have already been eliminated, such as Da Ye and A Jin, are also here.

Faced with Da Ye's carefree question, Xia Yan shrugged and casually picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"When have I ever joked with you guys?"

Upon hearing this, Da Ye did not complain further, but instead revealed a gloating expression.

Anyway.

The worst off were Xia Yan's remaining opponents, who had already been eliminated.

His main focus remained on the remaining contestants.

In the "Eight Masters" segment of this World Championship, Xia Yan was the first person to successfully advance to the semifinals.

There are six people left: Lance, Leon, Cynthia, Lorelei, Crimson, and Green.

Because the noise and destruction caused by Natsuhiko and Daigo's battle were too great.

Even though Emperor Dan had long ago instructed the person in charge of the Palace Arena to be prepared to repair or even change the venue at any time, the damage was so severe that even the energy barrier was blown up, making the repair process much more complicated.

Fortunately.

The excitement sparked by the battle between Natsuhiko and Daigo did not dampen the audience's enthusiasm despite the long repair process.

Instead, the audience remained engrossed in the heated discussion surrounding the battle between Natsuhiko and Daigo, as they witnessed the difficult repair process of the venue and energy barrier.

Furthermore, this has generated even greater anticipation for the upcoming matches.

Xia Yan and Daigo have already made a good start for this "Eight Masters" tournament.

at last.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting. Now, let's welcome the second group of contestants!"

"They are, respectively, the champion from the Johto region—Miyuu Wataru!"

"And the champion from the Gallar region—Dantie!"

Only when the host's loud voice rang out again did the competition finally resume.

bang——

All the lights in the venue went out instantly.

Two figures slowly walked out of the contestants' tunnel, illuminated by several spotlights.

Dan-tei VS Wataru!

"A contest between cloaks."

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Xia Yan muttered something softly.

"Buyi?"

Fairy Yin Bu couldn't help but glance at Xia Yan.

Could it be that the cloak is the real body?

Cynthia also heard Xia Yan's mutterings and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

With a squinting look in her eyes, she asked, "Who do you think will win?"

Xia Yan shook his head.

"It's hard to say. Subjectively, I think Du has a better chance of winning. After all, Dan Di is relatively young. Although his progress over the years is obvious, Du is not standing still either. However, this is Dan Di's home ground. Fighting on home ground, he might just unleash his full potential."

Dan Di is a genius, but is Du Mo any less so?

Battles occur between people of their level.

The outcome of a match is never predetermined; factors such as performance on the day, tactical preparation, and the Pokémon's condition can all influence the final result.

can only say.
