Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Can't he hear me?

“Cha~~Cha~Ke~Eee~~” Pokkiku even hummed softly along with that voice.

It was the first to hear the sound, and as it entered the inner section, the sound became clearer.

It can already hear the melody in the sound and sing the melody.

Casey nodded gently along with the melody, its superpowers fluctuating with the rhythm.

"Hiss!"

The bee suddenly turned its head and struck with its long stinger.

A mud loach that had darted out of the water was knocked away and landed on the ground, thrashing about, but it did not lose its ability to move after being taken out of the water.

"Pokémon, Magic Leaf".

Upon hearing this, Pokkigu stopped humming and sent dozens of magic leaves flying towards the mudskipper.

With only one weakness—a 4x weakness to Grass—the Water/Ground type Mudskipper is an excellent type combination.

boom!

The magic leaf struck the mudskipper with remarkable effect, rendering it unable to fight.

"It seems that the wild elves here are much more hostile to outsiders than we imagined," Xia Yan said, glancing at the surface of an underground current in front of him.

Dozens of heads popped out of the water, their hostile gazes fixed on them.

"Shouldn't mudskippers and catfish kings be lazy and gentle elves?"

There was no time to think.

Upon seeing the mud loach fall to the ground, the mud loach and the catfish king, being of the same kind, launched an attack.

but.

These mudskippers and King Catfish weren't particularly strong, and with Beedrill providing support and Togekiss and Abra working together, they were all quickly wiped out.

“Ke Xi”.

But while cleaning up the mudskippers and catfish king, Casey keenly noticed some unusual traces.

All I saw was...

On the damp ground near the groundwater, there was a faint and unclear footprint.

"people?"

Although there are few trainers in the inner section of Meteor Falls, there are still some, so Xia Yan was not surprised to see footprints.

I wonder if it's related to the fact that these mud loaches and the catfish king attack each other as soon as they meet.

Xia Yan didn't think much of it and threw a Poké Ball at the strongest Pokémon, which had reached the Senior level.

only......

"Hiss!"

The Beedrill that had been flanking nearby suddenly growled, its wings flapping and leaving a devastating golden arc in the dim air.

Just as the giant needle bee began to move, a figure rushed in from nowhere, its entire body covered in dark energy fluctuations.

A surprise attack!

Beedrill received the attack with its two needles crossed, and its fluorescent blue insect-type energy collided with it.

boom! !

A dull thud rang out, and Beedrill's body was sent flying backward, somewhat out of control.

But the opponent didn't gain any advantage either, and their forward momentum came to a halt.

However, the airflow generated by the impact blew away the Poké Ball that Xia Yan had just thrown.

His attention was no longer on the Poké Ball.

Looking at the Pokémon that suddenly attacked, it was actually able to fight against a Beedrill that had already reached the Elite level without being at a disadvantage.

When he saw the elf clearly, his pupils contracted.

"A desert dragonfly?!"

Elite level!

Chapter Sixty-One: Meteor Shower!

It is generally bluish-green, with a pair of red eyes and slender tentacles. Its whole body looks like a dragon. The wings on its back are rhomboid, wrapped with a circle of red patterns, and the end of its tail is also composed of three patterns that form the shape of a fan.

Elite level.

Desert dragonfly!

As its name suggests, it lives mostly in the desert, where it flaps its wings violently to create sandstorms and hide itself.

As a dual-type Ground and Dragon Pokémon, it is also known as "Little Earth Dragon".

But why would there be desert dragonflies here inside Meteor Falls?

Before it could even think about the problem in detail, the desert dragonfly, having already collided with the bee, did not stop its activities.

It flapped its wings to steady itself, then suddenly opened its mouth, emitting a sharp, piercing noise, like the metallic scraping of acidic teeth, which made the elf tremble and its skin contract and expand uncontrollably.

A piercing sound!

Significantly reduces the Pokémon's defense.

Beedrill was undoubtedly affected.

Xia Yan frowned, and the hairs on his body stood on end, but he still shouted through his voice:

Beedrill, Swords Dance!

The bee let out a low growl, its entire body glowing red, and visible air currents rose. Its compound eyes stared intently at the desert dragonfly, feeling immense pressure from its opponent.

But Beedrill did not back down; instead, it was fueled by a surge of fighting spirit.

Since reaching the Elite level, Beedrill has lost much of its interest in the Pokémon it has encountered along the way.

Because they are too weak, they cannot make it exert its full power, and the opponent will fall.

So along the way, it mostly stayed on the sidelines to protect Tokki and Casey, and didn't take much action as long as it ensured Xia Yan's safety.

But upon seeing this desert dragonfly and exchanging blows with it, the beedrill's heart was set ablaze.

These are Pokémon whose strength is no less than that of Red-faced Dragon, and may even be stronger than Red-faced Dragon, and they are all Dragon-type Pokémon.

This makes it want to settle things with the desert dragonfly.

"Hiss," Beedrill hissed softly.

As the person who knows Beedrill best, Xia Yan understands what Beedrill means even if it doesn't say it.

He reached out and stopped Pokkigu and Casey, who were about to help, his eyes gleaming.

His purpose in coming here was to train his Pokémon. Was there any Pokémon more suitable as a battle partner for Beedrill than the Flygon in front of him?

"Let the Beedrill attack for a while first," Xia Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Pokkigu and Casey stopped activating their energy.

The piercing sound lowered Beedrill's defense, but it also allowed it to boost its Swords Dance, making it all about close combat from there.

The desert dragonfly seemed to sense a strong threat from the beedrill, its red eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Although the two elves are rivals, they are in perfect sync at this moment.

next second.

The beedrill and the desert dragonfly started moving almost simultaneously.

The desert dragonfly curls its wings, stirring up layers of sand, and with a gentle flick of its tail, it shoots out like a sharp, emerald arrow.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Beedrill was surrounded by a tailwind, and each flap of its wings seemed to be accompanied by a subtle electric hum as it swept through the dim cave, leaving a golden arc in its wake.

The sharp needle was wrapped in a blue fluorescent light. The cross-shaped scissors lashed out along with the needle. What met it was a powerful tail that tore through the air, with deep purple dragon energy gathered on it. Dragon tail!

boom!!

The collision unleashed a fierce gust of air.

The sand and pebbles stirred up by the desert dragonfly were also blown away.

Both Pokémon were knocked back by the force of the attack. Although Beedrill's defense was reduced, its attack power was greatly increased.

Back and forth, Beedrill gained a significant advantage in the attack, inflicting considerable damage on Flygon, but Flygon's attacks also caused Beedrill pain.

"Hiss!"

"Sha?!"

The beedrill and the desert dragonfly stared at each other, their eyes meeting.

The desert dragonfly sways its fan-like tail, its entire body displaying an eerie rhythm.

Dragon Dance!

The desert dragonfly has clearly noticed this as well, and is trying to close the gap by using the Dragon Dance.

But Beedrill wouldn't give it that chance. The surging air became increasingly violent, and its body shot out, spinning rapidly under the influence of the airflow.

Deadly needle prick!

The sharp gust of wind forced the desert dragonfly to stop its movements, interrupting its dragon dance. In its haste, it swept its front claws across.

Dragon Claw!

The sharp dragon claws rubbed against the sharp needles, producing a piercing sound.

This time.

The hastily reacting desert dragonfly was clearly at a disadvantage. Under the attack of the beedrill, it was knocked down from mid-air and crashed to the ground, creating a crater. A large number of rock fragments were scattered in all directions.

"Hiss!"

Having succeeded in its attack, Beedrill had no intention of giving Dragonfly a chance to retaliate. It turned and charged into the rising dust, its scarlet compound eyes locking onto the figure that was faintly visible in the dust.
