Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan hadn't really considered this aspect.

"Thank you." Xia Yan didn't refuse; it was indeed the reward he deserved.

Chapter 52 An Idea

I never expected there would be such good stuff on the "Crimson Werewolf".

But considering that he's been at sea for so long with the title "Crimson Star," it's not surprising that he's achieved so much, and it's even a bit unusual.

However, considering that pirates usually have one or even several secret bases of their own at sea, they would hide large amounts of looted supplies and treasures there.

Every pirate gang that has been at sea for more than ten years must be a small group that is rolling in money.

Moreover, you can't just look at their collections; you also have to look at their bounties.

"Tsk." Xia Yan smacked his lips lightly.

Perhaps in the future we could organize a group of people to specifically hunt down pirates at sea. This would not only make us money, but also earn us reputation with the alliance.

Of course, the idea is good, but it is difficult to implement.

After all, if it were really that simple, the league would have done it already.

In the world of elves, danger comes not only from humans, but also from elves.

Gather your scattered thoughts.

He stroked the two things in his arms with his fingertips.

Sharp Fang is like a large tooth, possibly originating from a powerful elf. Its surface is smooth, and its tip is somewhat sharp. Overall, it looks like a tooth, but also like a piece of pure white jade, exuding a warm and smooth feel from the inside out.

Xia Yan had actually been eyeing the Sharp Fang for a long time.

He had hoped to win since the last King of Pop exhibition match.

Because Sharp Fang is extremely useful and helpful for Togepi with the Serene Grace ability, as well as for Togepi, which has now evolved.

Sharp Fang: When a Pokémon carrying this item attacks and deals damage, there is a certain chance that it will cause the opponent to flinch.

This is an additional effect that can trigger Togekiss's Serene Grace ability, doubling the probability of triggering the additional effect.

Currently, Togekiku's strength has just entered the senior level, but whether fighting alone or in a group, this item can make its control capabilities stronger.

Moreover, the Sharp Fangs have a hidden function.

If the Pokémon holding the Sharp Claw item is Gliscor, and its level or strength increases to a certain extent in a nighttime environment, it can evolve into Gliscor!

This type of evolution, as of now, has not yet been discovered.

Xia Yan could even publish a paper on this, or collaborate with Sakuragi on one.

"It would be even better if we could get the 'Sharp Two-Piece Set'," Xia Yan muttered to himself.

The "Sharp Two-Piece Set" consists of Sharp Fang and Sharp Claw. The Sharp Claw increases the chance of a Pokémon hitting a critical hit, which is a devastating weapon for Beedrill with the Sniper ability.

"What?" asked Binena beside her.

"It's nothing..." Xia Yan replied subconsciously, then suddenly came to his senses, "You haven't left yet?"

Binena: "..."

She looked at Xia Yan with the same look she'd given a straight-laced, clueless guy.

After saying that, Xia Yan realized that he might have said something unfriendly, and quickly said, "Sorry, that's not what I meant."

Binena rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I know."

"I just have a few questions for you."

"A problem?" Xia Yan frowned.

"It's nothing, I was just asking. You can choose to answer or not."

"it is good."

It really is...

Binena didn't even know how to complain.

After a moment's hesitation, he still asked, "That shiny Charizard...?"

"You'd better not ask that question; it won't do you any good." Xia Yan interrupted her before she could finish her question.

It's about Marshall and the "destroyed world," and letting her know that there's really no benefit to it.

Upon hearing this, Binena felt a chill run down her spine.

'Is it really related to a secret of someone at the highest level of the alliance?'

Binena's suspicions about Xia Yan's identity became even more certain.

"Then... those strange tactics of yours, could they be your own...?"

Xia Yan chuckled softly, "No, it was 'the teacher' who taught me."

'really.'

Binena was almost certain in her heart.

Xia Yan looked at her with a sudden realization, but he didn't know what she had realized.

“It may be a bit abrupt, but if I want to… if I also want to learn some knowledge about tactics…” Binena said haltingly, a slight blush rising on her face.

This was the first time she had ever spoken in such a humble tone.

But after this battle with Henry, Binena also clearly realized her shortcomings.

She believed that her handling of the battle was flawless, a very orthodox approach, without any mistakes or deviations.

However, her weakness is that she is too orthodox, as if she were trained in a formal elf academy.

Such a standard tactic could shine in a traditional Pokémon tournament.

However, in previous battles in the wild, when it came to life-or-death struggles, there was still a lack of adaptability.

This is somewhat similar to the current situation with Lorelei; the Elf Academy has a wealth of tactical resources.

Binena also tried to make changes, but she only scratched the surface, and it wasn't very noticeable on the surface.

With Xia Yan's prompting, she suddenly felt a sense of inspiration.

Furthermore, although Xia Yan's tactics are "dirty," they are exactly what he needs right now.

"Learn tactics?"

do not know why.

Xia Yan had this strange feeling that... one day he would bring those chillingly "upright" tactics into this world.

'Perhaps... I can take this opportunity to gain something from it, even if it's just some connections.'

He didn't consider himself a great man and had no intention of spreading these "tricks" in the elf world.

Otherwise, one day, some people might use these tactics to annoy him.

Xia Yan didn't want to see his opponent use his own tactics against him one day.

But he can indeed use these "tricks" to gain some benefits and advantages for himself.

What he lacks most right now is not resources, not elves, and certainly not tactics and knowledge, but channels.

In other words, a network of relationships.

He knows Daigo, knows Cynthia, and has a very good relationship with Lance, and they all have extensive connections.

But those belong to them, not to Xia Yan himself.

Moreover, as future champions, their channels are too positive and orthodox, almost completely oblivious to the darker side of the world.

However, there are many things that cannot be obtained or sold through legitimate channels, such as certain spirits or special items.

Binena's request gave Xia Yan some hints and ideas.

However, this is currently just a basic idea, and it needs to be improved before it can be realized.

But if it succeeds...

He can then successfully build his own network of relationships.

The premise is to ensure that one's identity is not exposed or exploited.

Seeing that Xia Yan was deep in thought, Binena did not interrupt him, after all, her request was indeed a bit abrupt.

"If, if it's absolutely necessary..."

"I'll ask around for you, but I can't guarantee the success rate," Xia Yan said.

Binena's eyes lit up.

"Okay, it's okay even if it doesn't work."

Xia Yan nodded.

"Then... shall we exchange contact information?"

"it is good."

Behind them.

Gerwin and his group huddled together, whispering among themselves.

"I've added them! The captain asked for my contact information himself."

"Looks like there's a chance."

"This is the first time I've seen the captain take the initiative."

"We can rest assured, we have a chance to get married in this lifetime... cough, we have a chance to see the captain get married."

"Uh-huh!"
