Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Only Hiram is the true dragon.

But he only recently discovered that all dragon-type mythical beasts can actually be "real" dragons.

"Xia, Xia Yan's last Pokémon is..."

Suddenly leaping into the air above the arena.

Its mere appearance caused the arena's energy barrier to shake constantly.

"Giratina, Giratina!"

boom!

!

Giratina, quite cooperative, flapped its wings, and a dense, dark energy suddenly spread out, causing the powerful energy barrier to creak under the strain.

"roar--!

"

"Come on, Master Dragon Master!" Xia Yan beckoned to Du.

Crossing: %￥#&@......

"Salamander..."

Before Watari could finish speaking, Natsuhiko's voice followed.

Giratina, Shadow Strike!

"Roar!

"

Then I saw it.

The black mist surrounding Giratina converged on it like swallows returning to their nests.

In just a split second, Giratina completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

The dragon hovering in front of Wataru suddenly stood on end, its scales bristling, and an intense chill swept over its entire body from the tip of its tail.

The black mist that appeared silently carried the aura of antimatter energy.

Rumble!

In an instant, it devoured the Salamence.

The referee immediately made a ruling.

"Salamander is unable to battle! Therefore, the winner of this battle is—"

Amidst the rising cheers.

Du's lips twitched.

"To be honest, I didn't hide a legendary Pokémon to 'surprise' you back in the Masters Tournament, did I?"

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Really?"

Under Wataru's wide-eyed gaze, Natsuhiko shrugged with a smile.

"Sorry, I forgot."

Watari: "..."

"Xia Yan has successfully advanced to the World Championship finals!"

Let's give them a round of applause!

! ”

Chapter 259 Cynthia VS Red!

One person has already been selected for the final round.

And the rest.

The winner will be decided between Cynthia and Crimson.

to be frank.

Xia Yan felt that Cynthia had a higher chance of winning against the two, since they knew each other well and he knew the level of Cynthia's strength.

Even if Cynthia were to face off against him, due to attribute differences, Cynthia would likely have a higher chance of winning.

just.

Nothing is absolute.

Especially when Cynthia's opponent is Crimson.

In the world of elves, the word "crimson" alone represents infinite possibilities.

If it suddenly becomes powerful, then it's hard to say.

Although, due to Xia Yan's intervention, Randu and Cynthia are stronger than they should have been.

But his influence extends beyond just Cynthia and her friends.

Crimson and Green, among others, were also greatly influenced by him.

The title "Teacher Xia Yan" alone is enough to demonstrate how much help and inspiration Xia Yan provided to them.

But if we're really talking about the upper limit...

It's possible that Crimson's talent is indeed higher than that of Cynthia and Lance.

Especially after Xia Yan's Beedrill reached the Legendary level, his understanding of this point became even clearer.

crimson.

He might become the first elf among their group to reach the legendary level after him.

After all, Crimson was someone who had fought against Giovanni's Beedrill even earlier than Xia Yan.

the most important is.

And the winner.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Let's welcome the two finalists to this semi-final match!"

"They are—"

"Sinnoh Elite Four member, Cynthia!"

"

"Rainbow Academy Teacher, Crimson!"

"

The host's loud voice introduced the two people who walked slowly out of the contestants' tunnel.

Amidst a deafening roar of cheers, Cynthia, dressed in an elegant and noble black gown, strode confidently out of the passageway, chin slightly raised, and stood under the spotlight.

Behind her.

A burly Garchomp with an arrogant expression followed closely behind her, its crimson scythes neatly positioned at its sides. However, the chilling glint they reflected under the light indicated that it would not be as "docile" as it was now when fighting.

The pairing of Garchomp and Cynthia creates an extreme visual impact of beauty and the beast.

Cynthia tilted her head slightly and glanced in the direction of the private room where Xia Yan and the others were.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a captivating smile.

Win this match and then face Xia Yan in the final?

If it were the old her, she might have longed for such a clash, yearning to have a thrilling battle with Xia Yan in the finals.

But now she...

Is he really that eager to have a match with Xia Yan?

maybe.

In fact, if she really wanted to fight Xia Yan, Cynthia, as one of the Sinnoh Elite Four, would have at least one opportunity to face him head-on every year.

However, she hadn't considered that aspect.

Of course.

This doesn't mean she didn't want to win the game.

With a gentle flick of her golden hair, she casually placed one hand on her slender waist, exuding confidence as she strolled into the arena.

the other side.

The young man, holding up his bright red baseball cap, looked around at the elves, meeting their eyes one by one.

The trainer and the Pokémon share a highly unified will.

With her pearly white teeth gleaming, Crimson raised the brim of her hat and solemnly declared, "Our opponent is Miss Cynthia. She's very strong, extremely strong!"

The orange Charizard with flames burning from its nostrils, the Blastoise with a cannon mounted on its heavy armored stomach, the Venusaur standing steadily on the ground, the enormous but energetic Snorlax, the ferocious Aerodactyl with its gray-white fangs, and the golden electric mouse Pikachu perched on its shoulder, eager to try its luck.

These six Pokémon were the ones Crimson prepared for this battle.

The elves, upon hearing the crimson words, also became extremely solemn.

But next second.

Crimson and his six elves simultaneously wore smiles that shared the same charm.

"But we will still win!"

Clench your fist slightly.

"We want to have a thrilling battle with Professor Xia Yan in the finals!"

That's all.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Crimson transformed into streaks of red light and returned to the Poké Balls at his waist.
