Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

At this time.

Finally, some sharp-eyed viewers noticed a dark dot looming in the distant night sky, rapidly approaching.

It was Xia Yan, riding on Latios's back, speeding towards them.

This scene.

Audiences in the Galar region are very familiar with this.

only.

In the past, whenever this happened, they were always waiting for Emperor Dan.

But this time it was Xia Yan.

"I knew it, Xia Yan must be lost."

Upon seeing the strikingly similar entrances, Dan Di's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but remark.

Qinglu glanced at him sideways, too lazy to say anything more.

"Our champion Xia Yan is here!"

The host breathed a long sigh of relief upon seeing Xia Yan appear, feeling much more at ease.

to be frank.

When the organizers told him that Xia Yan was not in the rest room, he was somewhat flustered.

Now that Xia Yan has finally appeared, I can finally relax.

"Xia Yan, Champion—!!"

call--

Xia Yan landed steadily after leaping down from Yuradius, standing on the battlefield opposite Crimson.

With a swift movement, he placed his hand on her shoulder and pulled hard, causing the cloak on her back to fall to the side.

Upon seeing this action, the audience was stunned for a moment, then cheers erupted.

So cool!

"Wait, where did Teacher Xia Yan get that cape?" A Jin was also stunned for a moment before jumping up.

"This cloak... looks familiar."

Dan Di glanced at his cloak, which was covered with advertisements, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Thankfully, it's still there.

But it does feel somewhat familiar.

Bang_____

The door to the private room was pushed open.

With a helpless expression, Lance walked in with Goku, Cynthia, and Lorelei, whose faces were still beaming with smiles.

"Holy crap! Xiao Du, is that your cloak?!" A Jin noticed this keenly.

After glancing at Ah Jin, Du was too lazy to argue with him today.

to be frank.

He was also quite helpless about his cloak being stolen.

But Xia Yan's words made it impossible for him to refuse.

"Wearing this cape, you stood with me on the field."

How...can he refuse?

just.

Hearing this, Rangdu felt somewhat strange.

So... could the cloak really be the real body?

On the field.

"I'm sorry, Crimson, I've kept you waiting." Xia Yan said apologetically as he stood still and put his hand on Latios's neck.

Crimson shook his head.

Flames had already ignited in his eyes.

"Teacher Xia Yan, I'm ready!"

"good!"

Chapter 265 Xia Yan VS Crimson (Part 1)

The final match was played on a standard court without any assistance.

"Please take your positions, both players."

Xia Yan tossed a Poké Ball into his palm, caught it with a "snap," and raised an eyebrow at the Crimson opposite him.

As a teacher, it's time to give my students a proper lesson.

Red grinned, gripping the Poké Ball tightly, ready to throw it at any moment.

at the same time.

The huge screen in the arena lit up with a "thud," displaying the handsome images of Xia Yan and Chi Hong, along with six Poké Balls flashing, jumping, and swaying next to their portraits.

When the two indicated that they were ready, the six Poké Balls opened one by one.

among them.

The six Pokémon that Crimson prepared were: Pikachu, Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, Snorlax, and Aerodactyl.

In this tournament, the Crimson Spirits were hardly replaced.

on the one hand.

It's because his opponents are all very strong, and he needs to maintain his strongest state at all times.

on the other hand.

This is because Crimson has many Pokémon that reside in Professor Oak's lab in another world.

Although Crimson has captured many spirits in this world.

But those elves are only useful when summoning them during the ranking matches and when battling against opponents.

By the time the knockout stage arrived, the Pokémon that Crimson had recently captured were not really suitable for summoning.

The Poké Ball next to Xia Yan's portrait opened, revealing the Pokémon that were about to appear.

They are: Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Aegislash, Infernape, and Latios.

The audience was speechless when they saw that none of the six Pokémon Xia Yan presented for the battle were legendary.

what happened?

In every round before, no matter who he faced, Xia Yan, the champion, would always prepare at least one legendary Pokémon. Why is it that in the most important final round, no legendary Pokémon appeared?

This sudden change left many viewers feeling somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Many people were originally looking forward to the final match, wondering which mythical beast Xia Yan would prepare.

Unexpectedly, the most important final was canceled.

In this regard.

However, Watari and the others in the lounge knew exactly what was going on.

After seeing the lineup Xia Yan presented, they couldn't help but exchange glances.

Each of them wore a helpless expression.

"Xia Yan, don't let his seemingly carefree attitude fool you, he's actually quite..." Du pointed to his chest.

Daigo gently rubbed his forehead and added, "He holds a grudge."

Wasn't it just that in the last Masters tournament, they all prepared seemingly good counter-strategies to deal with him? Wasn't it just a slight "backstab"?

Was it really necessary to hold a grudge for so long, specifically for this World Championships, just to "get revenge"?

However, there was still one thing they didn't quite understand.

Daigo and Watanabe both understood; had Giovanni also "backstabbed" Natsuhiko during the Masters tournament?

I don't know.

Sakaki really did make his appearance in the Masters tournament, where he was showered with flowers.

They were just hiding their identities.

As for...

Xia Yan didn't prepare a divine beast when he fought Red because Red had never "backstabbed" him.

and.

As a teacher, Xia Yan might also want to conduct a real "teaching" session on the field.

"Teacher, I'm ready!" Red nodded solemnly after scanning Xia Yan's Pokémon configuration.

Once both players were ready, the referee solemnly raised his flag.

"Battle begins!"

The two flags suddenly fell to the ground.

"Go, Aerodactyl!" Crimson threw out a regular Poké Ball.

roar----!!

A red light leaped, and a dragon with gray-white fur, sharp teeth, and phoenix wings spread its wings, stirring up gusts of wind and sand. A loud roar echoed through the air.

At the same time.

Xia Yan's high-grade ball landed lightly on the field.
