Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

There was a knock on the door.

The elves inside the room immediately stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

"Yongji."

Yongjira's eyes gleamed blue as she softly called out.

"It's her." Hearing Yongjira's words, Xia Yan knew who was knocking on the door.

He opened the door, and with a harsh, teeth-grinding scraping sound, he saw the little girl standing in the doorway, head down, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes. It was Miyu, who lived next door.

However, Miyu's originally pretty and delicate little dress was now somewhat messy and sloppy, her fair face was covered with dirt, and her small eyes were red, obviously she had just been crying.

When Xia Yan saw her like this, he couldn't help but frown, squat down and pat her head.

Miyu felt Xia Yan's hand tremble slightly, but she did not choose to avoid it.

This was the person she was most familiar with on the ship, besides Grandpa Cage.

"what happened?"

Miyu bit her lip, and tears began to fall uncontrollably again, like pearls from a broken string.

"Uncle, big brother, Togepi, can... can you save Grandpa?" Miyu said haltingly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan's brows furrowed even more.

"What happened to your grandfather?"

"Yes, bad people are bullying Grandpa," Meiyu sobbed softly, her body trembling.

"Didn't you hire two bodyguards?" Xia Yan couldn't help but ask.

"They...they ran away."

Ran?

Miyu's small, dirty hands, stained with tears, gripped Xia Yan's sleeve. She looked at him with hopeful eyes, as if he had become her last hope.

Xia Yan was silent.

"Let's go take a look." She put away her Pokémon and followed Miyu to the next room.

Even though they are both second-class cabins, the layout and size are not much different.

Meanwhile, the "grandfather" that Miyu mentioned was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He seemed to be breathing weakly, and his body was covered with many wounds. His clothes were tattered, revealing his old skin covered with scars.

A crooked towel was placed on his head.

It's obvious that Miyu made this.

"Grandpa!" Mei Yu ran to the bedside, and the old man, Keji, slowly opened his eyelids with trembling.

His eyes were filled with heartache and reluctance as he looked at Miyu. He forced a smile and said in a hoarse, low voice, "Miyu, Grandpa is alright."

"You don't look alright at all." Xia Yan crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. Judging from Keji's condition, he was doomed if he didn't receive timely treatment.

Suddenly hearing someone speak, Keji struggled to sit up, while looking in Xia Yan's direction.

"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to act rashly."

Cage hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not sit up.

"Why don't you call the ship's doctor? You might die."

Luxury cruise ships as large as the St. Anne's are equipped with very comprehensive medical facilities, so there should be no major problems with medical assistance.

“No!” Cage answered firmly.

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

“They must have infiltrated the ship, and they might even know about my injury and have people in the medical room.” Cage said grimly, his face growing paler with each word he spoke.

"them?"

Natsuhiko glanced up and down at Kaiji and Miyu.

Some of the previous questions seem to be explained now.

Could this little girl be the target that "Crimson Star" and "Ocean Team" are looking for?

Chapter 102 Top-Quality Light Stone

Keggie's face grew paler and paler, and his eyes gradually became unfocused, but he struggled to regain his senses.

It landed firmly on Xia Yan.

Gritting her teeth, she suddenly pleaded, "Sir, you're a good person. Could you please help me protect Miyu on her way to Sinnoh?"

nice guy?

Xia Yan chuckled softly. Why do so many people think he's a good person?

"Are you misunderstanding something about me?"

"I absolutely won't let you work for nothing!" Cage said quickly.

If it weren't for that last sentence, Xia Yan might have turned around and left.

He considered himself a self-interested person. If it were a simple and uncomplicated matter, he would help out without hesitation. But clearly, the matter was not simple and might even involve the Ocean Team.

That's different.

Xia Yan didn't believe he was capable of fighting against the Ocean Team.

“An evolution stone!” Keji said solemnly.

Just as Xia Yan was about to turn and leave, Keji immediately added, "A top-quality Light Stone!"

Top quality?

Stone of Light?

Xia Yan paused, turned her head, and looked at him with some surprise.

Doesn't he know how much a top-quality evolution stone is worth?

Anyway, Xia Yan knew that if the evolution stone reached the highest quality, he might not be able to afford it even with all his current possessions.

It's not that top-quality Light Stones are incredibly valuable; it's just that they're so rare that they're always snapped up when they appear, leading to prices far exceeding their intrinsic value.

the most important is.

Why the Stone of Light?

For Xia Yan's Togekiss to evolve into Togekiss, the necessary item is the Light Stone!

It's no secret that he has Togepi, and Miu has repeatedly pestered him to let her play with Togepi.

so......

Kaige knows that Togekiss needs a Light Stone to evolve into Togekiss?

However, it seems that Togekiss has not yet been listed in the League's Pokémon catalog.

Seeing Xia Yan fall silent, Keji slowly revealed an ugly smile.

"You might not know this, but there's an evolution beyond Togekiss, which requires a Light Stone. And a top-quality Light Stone will definitely unlock Togekiss's full potential."

Even more! It can enhance the potential of Togekiss after its evolution.

Believe me, once an evolution stone surpasses a higher quality level, its function goes beyond simply assisting a specific Pokémon in evolving.

After saying so much in one breath, Cage was out of breath, his face turned even paler, and large beads of sweat kept sliding down his forehead.

"Grandpa!" Miyu rushed over and grabbed Keji's hand tightly, her heart aching with heartache.

If Cage passes away, then she will truly be all alone in this world.

"How did you know?" Xia Yan asked in a calm tone.

Keji patted Miyu's head, trembling, to indicate that she was alright. "Cough, cough, because this top-quality evolution stone originally belonged to Miyu's father."

Miyu mentioned that her father also had a Togepi.

It must have evolved into Togekiss by now, right?

Even the highest quality Light Stones have been prepared.

To be able to obtain top-quality evolution stones...

This isn't something just any trainer can get their hands on.

It seems that Miyu's father was also a very skilled trainer in the past.

“Although top-quality Light Stones are very tempting,” Xia Yan said, pausing before adding, “I can still tell which is more important, the treasure or my life.”

Things can be found again if they're lost, but if you lose your life, you lose everything.

“No, the danger level isn’t that high.” Cage’s face was starting to turn golden, a sign that he was really about to die.

"I've already gotten rid of the most troublesome ones in the Hoenn region. They would never expect us to come back to the ship. Even if they have people on hand, it's just a symbolic arrangement."

As long as they don't find out, it's absolutely safe!

That's why he doesn't go to the infirmary.

As long as the other side doesn't confirm that they've returned to the ship, most of their manpower is definitely still in Hoenn.

"Is the most dangerous place the safest place?" Xia Yan nodded thoughtfully.

I have to admit, the old man is quite experienced.

This can be seen from the last time he hired bodyguards at the "Black Shark Bar".

Xia Yan was thinking.

Is a top-quality Light Stone disproportionate to the danger we face?

The value of a top-quality Light Stone is undeniable. If he could obtain it, he wouldn't have to worry about Togekiss's future evolution.

Moreover, top-quality stones are the highest level of evolution stones, and will definitely bring Togekiss many benefits.

However, the level of danger is currently unknown.

It might be as Old Keji said, not too dangerous, or it might happen in ways that Xia Yan didn't expect.
