Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan nodded.

I have a general idea of ​​what to choose.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "May I have some contact with them?"

Chapter 89 That's it!

Since it was a matter of choosing a spirit, Xia Yan was quite cautious.

After learning about Furong's identity, he paid close attention to these Ghost-type Pokémon.

It's a Pokémon that the Elite Four will be using in the future, and it's a Ghost-type Pokémon sent to Mount Olympus. Plus, it's been taken care of by Grandpa and Grandma Furu. A Pokémon that they would choose must be pretty good.

He also happens to need a Ghost-type Pokémon.

Whether it's to make up for the team's shortcomings or to increase one's own safety, Ghost-type Pokémon are undoubtedly a very good choice.

of course.

All of this is predicated on the premise that these Ghost-type Pokémon are good enough.

Xia Yan is now qualified and capable of selecting Pokémon. If a Pokémon does not meet his standards, then the selected Pokémon may only be responsible for protecting his safety.

He will not become a formal member of the team.

But since it is his personal protector, he still needs to be strictly controlled.

Hearing Xia Yan's words, Fu Rong did not object, and even developed a little bit of goodwill towards Xia Yan because of it.

He nodded in agreement, saying, "We should definitely get in touch with them; we can sense more things that way."

Choosing a Pokémon is a very serious matter. If Xia Yan only glances at one before choosing it, Fu Rong will inevitably have some distrust of his abilities and responsibilities.

However, Xia Yan's cautious attitude earned Fu Rong a lot of goodwill.

And so, under Furong's arrangement, Xia Yan made contact with these Ghost-type Pokémon one by one.

Gastly, a gas sprite, possesses exceptional strength and can freely move through any object.

Night Patrol Spirit, a communicator of the spirit world, also possesses exceptional strength. It retains some traces of the spirit world and is the spirit among these spirits that most desires to follow Xia Yan.

Or rather, all the Ghost-type Pokémon present were more or less opposed to following Xia Yan.

As she interacted with these elves one by one, Furong sensed this and felt a mixture of curiosity and surprise.

This was the first time she had seen these Ghost-type Pokémon, and she wasn't so hostile towards them.

Xia Yan had actually sensed this as well.

After a little thought, he roughly guessed the reason.

Perhaps... it's because he carries the aura of Marshall.

As a mythical beast among Ghost-type Pokémon, Marshadow is definitely one of the top Ghost-type Pokémon.

It has a good relationship with Xia Yan, and the lingering aura it leaves behind will definitely have some influence on these Ghost-type Pokémon.

Back then, Agatha's Gengar was the first to sense the Marshadow aura remaining on Natsuhiko's body. It's even possible that the influence of Marshadow could explain why Agatha's Gastly was able to cooperate so well with Natsuhiko.

Besides Gastly and Dusknoir, Xia Yan also encountered Spectrum, Float, and Masked Devil, all of which were of excellent strength.

As for Dream Fairy, that's Hibiscus's own spirit and not within the selection range.

The last one was the quietest and also seemed less eager to follow Xia Yan's single sword sheath.

Xia Yan hesitated for a moment.

The single-edged sword sheath can absorb the life energy of others through contact and also has the ability to control their minds.

He was somewhat resistant to this.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, this single sword sheath looks "sickly" and not very strong.

It is probably the weakest of all the Ghost-type Pokémon present.

It seemed there was no need to continue; Xia Yan had already made up his mind.

Choose between Gastly and Nightwatch.

Although they all bear the mark of Grandpa Hibiscus to some extent, and it would be quite troublesome to completely erase them, they are undoubtedly the most talented among the elves present.

corner.

Seeing that Xia Yan seemed to have given up on choosing her, Dujianshe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her timid eyes softening slightly, and a hint of relaxation and pleasure flashing across them.

'fine.'

however.

The change in Dujianshe's expression and eyes happened to fall into Xia Yan's line of sight as he turned around again.

He thought about it and realized he couldn't treat it differently. Even if he didn't choose the single sword sheath, he still had to make contact with it. Otherwise, what would it mean if he didn't contact it after contacting the other elves? What would Fleur think?

Moreover, the sword sheath already seemed insecure, and if it was left untouched, it would inevitably suffer another blow to its already limited confidence.

and so.

Quite by chance, Xia Yan's gaze met that of Du Jiancha.

A brief silence and an awkward atmosphere permeated the space between Xia Yan and Du Jiancha.

After a moment of stunned silence, Dujianshe immediately reacted, blinked hurriedly, and reverted to his timid, even slightly silly and simple-minded, appearance.

Xia Yan, who witnessed the whole process, was also stunned for a moment.

His expression tightened and became very strange.

This single sword sheath...

Are you pretending?

Xia Yan had seen many people who pretended to be powerful, brave, well-connected, and have brothers behind them.

But this was the first time he had ever seen someone pretend to be timid, aloof, or foolish.

interesting.

Seeing Xia Yan's interested expression, Du Jiancha felt a pang of panic.

'Oh no, oh no, we're going to be exposed...'

"It's Little Sword's turn." At this moment, Hibiscus delivered the finishing blow.

"Ah."

Xia Yan nodded; the single sword sheath's reaction had successfully caught his attention.

He walked toward the single sword sheath.

But it looked terrified, backing away, its expression tense and aggrieved. They really looked like a scene from a drama about a "bully and a commoner girl".

But the private room wasn't very big to begin with, and soon Dujianshe was in the corner with nowhere to retreat.

finally.

Xia Yan gripped the hilt of the single-edged sword tightly, and the tassel at the end of the hilt, like a blue ribbon, unconsciously wrapped around Xia Yan's arm.

'It's over, we can't hide it anymore.'

"Yongji."

Seeing this, Yunjira, who was standing nearby, instinctively activated his superpowers.

However, before it could make a move, Xia Yan reached out and stopped it.

And he looked at the single sword sheath with some surprise, still looking "timid and scared".

'Life energy has not been absorbed.'

Although the single-edged sword sheath, like the crystal chandelier spirit, can absorb the life energy of others and feed on it.

But unlike the chandelier, it is different.

The single-edged sword and its evolved form can control whether or not they do this, that is, by watching whether the blue ribbon-like tassel at the end of the hilt will wrap around a person.

However, despite the fact that the single sword sheath had done so, Xia Yan did not feel any loss of life energy.

"Yong Ji?"

Yongjira, who had absorbed the life crystal, also sensed this, and was somewhat surprised.

Dujiansheath looked at Xia Yan sheepishly, revealing a pleading and ingratiating expression.

"Brother, let me go. I just want to be a sword in peace..."

"The little sword doesn't absorb life force. Although I don't know why, the seller mentioned it briefly, saying... it doesn't need to."

unnecessary?

Xia Yan slowly raised his hand, feeling the heavy weight of the single sword sheath.

It seems to be much heavier than a typical single-bladed sword sheath.

and......

Through contact and observation, Xia Yan finally sensed the true power of this single sword sheath.

Looking at Furong with a somewhat strange expression, he asked, "You just said that it trains all by itself, right?"

Training alone will prevent you from being marked by others.

“Yes, it’s not very sociable,” Hibiscus nodded.

This isn't about being unsociable...

There's absolutely no need for this guy to train with those Ghost-type Pokémon!

They're not in the same league.

Xia Yan quickly made a decision.

Gastly and Nightwatch are very tempting.

But I'm sorry.

"That's it."
