Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

She murmured softly in a voice only she could hear:

"I don't know when it started, but I seem to... prefer standing behind him..."

...

"The final match roster for the World Championship has been announced!"

The dazzling fireworks illuminated the night sky of Gongmen City and warmed the hearts of everyone present.

And the two sides in the battle.

Without a doubt.

It will be Xia Yan and Chi Hong!

With the release of this final result, major online forums and numerous portal websites were flooded with this news.

Countless posts from netizens appeared one after another, like a multitude of fish crossing a river.

Xia Yan's personal forum was flooded with messages from countless people.

Along with this came the "Rainbow Academy," which had suddenly appeared not long ago but had already brought considerable impact to the entire Pokémon world.

of course.

While many people noticed "Rainbow Academy," most attention was focused on the World Championship finals three days later.

Gongmen City Athletes' Village.

"Hey, where's Crimson?"

Xia Yan suddenly looked around at everyone and realized that not only was Crimson missing, but even Green was gone.

"Oh. Crimson, he and Green went to the Crown Snowfield for emergency training," Akin said, chewing on a chicken leg.

Special training?

Is the feature you mentioned legitimate?

Xia Yan shook his head, trying to prevent any unpleasant images that hadn't yet surfaced from appearing in his mind.

"Xia Yan, if you need special training, I can help."

Suddenly, Du, who was sitting next to me, spoke up.

"I can too."

Daigo elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth, and without hesitation, he wanted to take on the job.

Noticing the look of interest in many people's eyes, Xia Yan quickly waved his hand.

"It doesn't seem necessary."

No one said anything was wrong about it.

After all, it's a battle between a teacher and a student, so the teacher has to give them a little leeway.

Moreover.

Even though Crimson has already defeated Cynthia.

Given Xia Yan's approach of summoning divine beasts to participate in this World Championship, no matter how much Crimson trains, it's impossible for it to defeat a divine beast, right?

and so.

Fight against Xia Yan.

The main thing is to fight against the Pokémon that precede him, enjoy the fun of the battles, and enjoy the process of learning and benefiting from them.

As for the joy of victory...

That belongs to someone else.

"However, there are indeed some things that might require your help."

"Oh?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at him.

Xia Yan smiled mysteriously, "But it might not be necessary."

He put down his cutlery, looked out the window, and said softly, "Let me test the results of this period of time first."

...

...

The next day.

Gallar region, wilderness region.

"Chakoi~~"

Togekiss soared and danced above the lush grass, its triangular wings fluttering slightly, instantly flattening large swathes of grass as tall as a person, revealing wild Pokémon hiding within.

Upon seeing that the culprit was Togekiss, the wild Pokémon dared not speak out and quickly darted into the grass on the other side.

There's not much else in the open fields, but there's plenty of this kind of grass that can be seen everywhere.

But Tokiss seemed to enjoy it immensely, laughing as he continued to trample down the grass on the other side.

"Buyi?"

The fairy Yin Bu had a small orange flower pinned to her ear. She walked with a bouncy gait, humming an unknown tune.

Soft white silk wrapped around the Nine-Tailed Fox beside her in a coquettish manner, swaying gently.

In this regard.

Nine-Tails smiled helplessly.

call--

It gently blew a breath, and pale mist emerged from its mouth, accompanied by scattered white ice crystals.

but.

Nine-Tailed Fox has an extremely strong ability to control these ice-type energies. The little yellow flower pinned to Fairy Yin Bu's ear was instantly covered with a thin layer of ice flowers.

This made the already beautiful flower even more sparkling and captivating.

It looked as if it was covered with a layer of glassy patina.

Seeing this scene.

“Buyi—”

Fairy Yin Bu's eyes crinkled with laughter.

He turned his head to look at the Onion Soldiers on the other side.

Isn't it beautiful?

what--

Onion Soldier breathed on the holy sword in his hand, then carefully wiped it to make it look even shinier.

Before it could even show a satisfied expression, it heard Fairy Yin Bu's question.

He turned to look at it and was clearly taken aback.

Noticing Fairy Yin Bu's "threatening" expression, Onion Soldier pounded his head like a pestle.

just.

Fairy Yin Bu saw through Cong Youbing's perfunctory attitude.

He winked at Nine-Tails.

Do it!

Recently, after "sword-slaying" Lance's Mega Charizard X in the semi-finals, Sergeant Farfetch'd became famous and started to get cocky.

It is necessary to make it understand the "ecosystem" among the Pokémon in Xia Yan's team.

Watching the playful elves.

Xia Yan couldn't help but smile.

It's been a long time since we've had such a happy outing, hasn't it?

Thinking of this, Xia Yan brushed his hand across his waist.

"Let's all come out and get some fresh air, as a way to adjust our mindset for the finals later."

He has reached his level of strength.

It's unrealistic to expect a Pokémon to experience a qualitative leap in strength or make significant progress in just three days.

In such a short time.

At most, it can be used to develop more detailed tactics and conduct targeted research on one's opponent.

But for Xia Yan now...

Even if his opponent is the legendary "Fighter" Crimson, he will never lose.

and so.

Actually, these three days are the most suitable time to adjust the Pokémon's status.

of course.

Xia Yan appeared here alone today because he had other things to do.

However, whether this matter will occur is currently beyond his control.

Instead of waiting for it to happen, let's give the elves a break, treat it as a picnic, and let them adjust their mindset.

"Awooo—"

At this time.

Among the playful Pokémon, Zoroia suddenly chirped softly towards Xia Yan.

Upon hearing the news, Xia Yan went to investigate and saw an elf with blue feathers lying in a patch of grass where Zorua was staying. The elf looked like a cormorant and was lying on the ground with a pained expression, its eyes wide open, looking like it was about to kick the bucket at any moment.

The elves, who had also heard the commotion, all gathered around.
