Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"It's still very necessary to get out and see the world."

Pokki nodded repeatedly, expressing his deep agreement.

It was only by following Xia Yan out that it was able to see the beauty of this world.

Of course, the most important thing is to follow Xia Yan.

Pokkigu rubbed against Xia Yan's chest, swirling around until it crumpled his lining into a mess.

Dark lines appeared on Xia Yan's forehead.

Including the time when Pokkiku doodled on his face while he was asleep on the ship, the little guy's true nature is being unleashed more and more unrestrained.

'I wonder if it's the appearance of fairy energy that's making Togekiss's mischievous and playful nature more and more apparent.'

Pokkigu seemed to sense something and looked up at Xia Yan.

Although Xia Yan's face was a bit dark, Pokkigu still keenly noticed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

I felt much more at ease.

'But this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Personality can't be changed, only guided, and the mischievous Togekiss might be more compatible with Fairy-type energy.'

“It’s just right.”

Pokkigu continued to rub against Xia Yan, clearly enjoying his scent.

"You little rascal." Xia Yan knew that Pokkigu had discovered him, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

He laughed along with Pokkiku.

After briefly admiring the beauty of Meteor Falls, Xia Yan led Pokémon into the intricate tunnels.

Here, the number of people suddenly becomes very small.

Because of the numerous tunnels, you might walk a long way without encountering a single person.

Xia Yan then summoned Casey.

Xia Yan was well aware of Casey's needs.

Long before, when Pokobby first joined the team, Casey felt a lot of pressure from him.

This time, Togepi evolved, and Beedrill's power increased significantly, putting Abra under pressure once again.

Despite his quiet demeanor and boyish appearance, Casey always uses his superpowers to levitate and silently follow Xia Yan, either meditating or on his way to meditate.

It is actually very competitive, but it doesn't show it much.

“Ke Xi”.

As soon as Casey appeared, she kept turning the prayer beads in her hand, and her superpowers surged.

"Casey, keep watch on the surroundings."

“Okay.” Casey nodded, and her superpowers spread out.

Xia Yan didn't really need to say much to Casey; sometimes, the more he said, the more pressure it would feel.

As long as you trust it and keep giving it tasks, Casey can feel Xia Yan's trust in it. This is the greatest affirmation and support for him, and also Casey's motivation.

Watching the superpowers spread out.

Xia Yan suddenly realized that the pink fragment that should have been present in Casey's superpower was missing.

It couldn't possibly be lost.

There's only one explanation.

'...It was absorbed by Casey without her noticing? If I'm not mistaken, that thing is a fragment of the Superpower Tablet, though not very big...'

Casey herself didn't seem to realize this.

Xia Yan had a sudden, rather bold idea.

"Casey, the spiritual field."

Upon hearing this, a field pulsating with superpowers rapidly spread out, as if covering the surrounding rock walls with a thin film.

"Let's see if we can narrow the range of the mental field."

"What?" Casey asked, puzzled.

Shrink?

Shouldn't we try to expand the space for spiritual exploration?

This way, we can influence a wider area and affect more spirits.

"Yes, shrink. Sometimes, being big isn't necessarily a good thing."

Xia Yan paused slightly, then continued, "Sometimes, a large size means a large consumption and a weak effect."

The larger the mental field, the greater the energy required to maintain its effect.

If we narrow it down, it's just around Casey.

Although the restrictions on the other Pokémon are gone, if Xia Yan's assumption is correct, this will amplify Casey's psychic abilities even more.

Moreover, even if it shrinks, Casey can expand it at any time to cover a certain area, as long as she wants.

Casey nodded silently, understanding Xia Yan's meaning.

The azure halo in his eyes surged continuously.

The area of ​​the mental field also began to shrink continuously under Casey's control.

However, once it shrinks to a certain size, the speed slows down significantly.

Xia Yan patted Casey on the shoulder, "It's okay, take your time to try and get used to it, there's no rush. This can also help you improve your control over your superpowers."

"Kashi!"

Casey's face lit up with surprise.

It sensed it; indeed, as Xia Yan had said, as the mental field continued to shrink, its amplifying effect on its superpowers increased.

"If controlled well, this move could very well become a permanent buff in the future."

Having played many games, Xia Yan knew better than anyone how valuable such beneficial buffs would be if they could be made permanent.

No buff?

No problem, we can make it ourselves.

but.

The release of Casey's spiritual space attracted several uninvited guests.

fluttering—

Several large-mouthed bats, influenced by the spiritual field, disturbed their rest.

With red eyes, he charged toward them.

"Chocolate!"

Togekiss casually waved its hand, and dozens of magical leaves appeared beside it, shooting towards Zubat all at once.

Knock knock knock.

The enraged Zubat faced the Magic Leaf directly. Its body, which had been moving actively, suddenly stiffened, its movements abruptly stopped, and the anger in its eyes dissipated, replaced by fear.

As you can see, a sharp tooth is faintly visible on Pokkigu's body.

The effects of Sharp Fangs were triggered, and Togekiss's Serene Grace ability also took effect, causing several Zubats to flinch.

"Kashi!"

Immediately afterwards, Casey moved too.

The psychological impact was launched in a timely manner.

Bang bang bang!

Several giant beaked bats fell to the ground with a thud, immediately losing their ability to fight.

Having obtained the Sharp Fang, Togekiss is finally beginning to unleash its control abilities, and its role will change from a pure support to a controller and support.

Moreover, given Pokkiku's luck, perhaps...

Xia Yan looked at the three large-mouthed bats on the ground with a strange expression.

Were they all affected by the sharp teeth just now?

Controlling the gamble...

Are you gambling with Teacher Bo's luck?

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Who are you?

"Pokémon, Magic Leaf".

"Casey, mental shock."

Pokkigu waved its hand, and a dozen leaves wrapped in strange energy appeared beside it. With a flick of its little hand, they shot towards the rumbler in front of it.

The Grass-type move Magic Leaf deals significant damage to Golem, and it also luckily triggered the additional effect of Sharp Fang, causing Golem to flinch.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of spiritual energy arrived, directly attacking the already somewhat chaotic consciousness of the rumbler, delivering the final blow.

The rumbling rock collapsed to the ground.

The heavy body rolled to the ground, leaving a dent.

"Chocolate!"

Pokkigu flew to Casey's side and gently patted her with its paw.

A smile appeared on Casey's face.

It feels very relaxed fighting alongside Togekiss, with almost nothing to worry about and no concerns. It can simply unleash its full power of attacks.

And it gradually revealed its powerful side.

The compression of the spiritual space is still ongoing, but the progress has slowed down considerably.
