Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

It wasn't until it defeated the crimson Mega Venusaur and saw the fireworks blooming in the sky and the continuous showers of sparks that Togekiss, usually quite clever, finally reacted a beat late and excitedly rushed into Xia Yan's arms.

"Cha-ke-yi!? Cha-ke-yi?!"

We're the champions?! We're the champions?!

Xia Yan let out a soft breath, revealing a relieved and relaxed smile.

Yes, we are—

ka ka ka-

Xia Yan opened the Poké Balls on his waist one by one, and all the Pokémon appeared beside him at that moment.

"Hiss!"

"Whoosh!"

"Cough!"

"Os!"

"."

At that moment, all the elves shouted out that word in unison.

champion!!

"Teacher Xia Yan, you are amazing."

Chi Hong walked up to Xia Yan, scratched his head, and laughed.

He didn't feel any bad emotions because of losing the game; he was just happy that he had finally fought against Xia Yan.

They were even more excited by the previous exciting battles.

Nothing could make him happier than a thrilling and exhilarating battle.

and.

This battle.

Furthermore, Xia Yan benefited greatly from adapting to Chi Hong's fighting style and learned a lot of knowledge.

Xia Yan patted the red shoulder.

"Haha—don't worry, Crimson, the future is yours."

After he finished speaking, Xia Yan and his elf were overwhelmed by a large group of reporters.

Chi Hong stood there dumbfounded, and when he saw the unusual embarrassment on Xia Yan's face, he couldn't help but laugh out loud while scratching his head again.

"future?"

He looked at Xia Yan, then at himself.

Although he and Qinglu always called him "Teacher Xia Yan", Xia Yan was actually not much older than them.

and so.

Where is the 'future' that Teacher Xia Yan talked about? I can't see it anywhere.

It's not just that he didn't see it.

People of similar age to Xia Yan should not be able to see this.

All they can see.

There was a mountain standing in front of them, called "Xia Yan Legend".

The next day.

Xia Yan and his group, led by Professor Oak, headed to the Hall of Fame of the first World Championship to register their rosters.

It's not just Xia Yan, the champion, whose team needs to be registered.

All those who become "Masters of the Eight" also need to register their respective lineups.

This is a Hall of Fame registration unlike any other event.

The ultimate goal of this World Championship is not to determine the champion, but to identify the "Eight Masters" and determine the eight strongest people in the world.

The magnificent World Championship Hall of Fame was built behind the Galar League headquarters building.

Dante paid a considerable price to keep this "World Championship" Hall of Fame in the Galar region.

Regardless of how many World Championships are held in the future, the Galar region will always be one of the most important locations for the World Championships.

Professor Oak, with a smile, led everyone into the main hall at the deepest part of the Hall of Fame.

"Everyone, get ready to register."

"Professor Oak, can all Pokémon be registered? Not just those that have already appeared?" Lance couldn't help but ask.

"Yes."

bang-

As he answered, Professor Oak pushed open the door that represented the highest hall in the Pokémon world.

among them.

Eight special elf registration instruments are arranged in an arc on the golden staircase.

The registration device located at the very center of the highest step is Xia Yan's registration device as the champion.

"Go."

Professor Oak gently patted Xia Yan on the back, looking at the people slowly stepping onto the Hall of Fame stairs with a smile full of relief, as if he could see the door to the future of the Pokémon world slowly opening before him.

The eight people in front of me were all from the younger generation.

This proves that the future of the elf world has already arrived.

Da da da—

Xia Yan walked up the steps one by one, and when he stood on the huge steps, he turned his head and saw the seven people below.

It includes Crimson, Lance, Lorelei, Steven Stone, Cynthia, Leon, and Blue.

These are all one by one.

They are all truly top-tier prodigies in the world of elves.

Xia Yan's eyes suddenly glazed over.

It was as if these people were gradually growing taller and taller, becoming beings he had to look up to.

And he.

He transformed once again into the man struggling in the slums of Golden City, who had just become favored by Unicorn Worm.

That rookie trainer who, even if he himself was hungry, would make sure Weedle was well-fed and clothed.

But slowly.

Xia Yan's figure gradually grew larger, while the figures of the others continued to shrink.

Until we are completely on par with them, or even eventually surpass them.

Unbeknownst to him, he had actually surpassed all the true elites of the elven world, including Du.

Normally, due to the intense external pressure and the pressure from the royal descendants, he doesn't have the time or energy to properly face himself.

But now.

Xia Yan finally realized where he stood in the world at that moment.

He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"This is an achievement that belongs to everyone."

talking.

Xia Yan solemnly placed the Poké Balls of each Pokémon onto the registration device.

Through data scanning.

Each of his sprites was continuously projected onto the large screen behind the login device.

Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Aegislash, Infernape, Latios, Dragapult, Sylveon, Ninetales, Sirfetch'd, Volcarona, Salamence, Goodra, Milotic, Kushala Daora

At last.

As a trainer, Xia Yan's image was also collected and projected onto the big screen.

Surrounded by a group of elves.

Whether it was Xia Yan or the elves, what was displayed on the big screen were their smiling faces and the undisguised disdain in their eyes.

Have to admit.

The league's Hall of Fame registration technology is quite impressive.

I witnessed it once before when I was registering for the championship.

Seeing it for the second time still makes me sigh with admiration.

soon.

The already magnificent and imposing Hall of Fame has eight unique lineup pictures hanging on its empty walls.

And eight of the truly top trainers in the history of the World Championships.

"They are all good children."

Professor Oak patted each person walking out of the Hall of Fame on the shoulder.

"Xia Yan."

As the last Natsuhiko walked out of the Hall of Fame, Professor Oak called out to him.

"Huh? Teacher?"

Xia Yan was stunned.

Du and the others couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at them.

Professor Oak didn't try to hide anything from Wataru and the others, but he looked at him with a rather meaningful expression.
