Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Excellent! Yunjira has skillfully utilized the boost from Psychic, and is currently in first place. Next up is Beedrill!"

The bee closed its two stingers and carefully held a small pebble between its fingers, its body somewhat stiff.

Because pebbles are slippery, and the sides of the bee's long stinger are also very smooth, it makes it very difficult for the bee to simply hold up a pebble.

call--

Beedrill exhaled heavily, then inhaled deeply.

With a simultaneous swing of both arms, the pebble flew into the air. Then, the giant bee crossed its two needles, its eyes sharp, and a fluorescent blue light suddenly appeared. The cross-shaped scissors cleaved out!

boom!

"Uh......"

The elves blinked, watching the pebbles turn into dust and scatter...

Hold it in, whatever you do, don't laugh.

You'll get beaten up.

The single sword sheath sent a grateful look.

I covered for it.

"Cough cough cough cough, it seems Beedrill overexerted itself a bit. The current rankings are: Kadabra, Saber, Beedrill! And the last one is Togekiss!"

"Chocolate!"

Pokkigu held the pebbles, his eyes resolute.

"What is Pokkiku doing? What is it doing?! It's shaking its finger, it's... a finger flick!"

For dinner, Pokkiku used his long-unused finger flick. Whether he can turn the tide depends on what move he can hit with this flick.

next second.

A blue-white beam of light shot from Pokkigu's hand and struck the pebble flying in mid-air.

The pebbles instantly solidified, forming thick ice crystals that increased their size dozens of times.

thump--

A huge block of ice fell into the water, creating a massive splash.

"Frozen Beam! Tokiku used an almost cheat-like technique to hit the frozen beam with a flick of his finger, increasing the size of the pebble and creating a huge splash!"

"Therefore, I hereby announce that the winner of this competition is..."

whoosh-

However, before Xia Yan could finish speaking, a pebble suddenly whizzed past him at an extremely fast speed.

This is the fifth pebble that suddenly appeared!

boom!!

The tiny pebbles splashed up terrifying sprays of water.

"Singing bells—"

This time, the laughter was very clear.

Xia Yan also smiled.

He guessed right.

Chapter 117 Arknom's Startled Journey

boom!!

This last pebble splashed up a huge wave on the lake, dealing a significant blow to Pokkigu, who was feeling confident of victory.

"Is that alright?"

what's going on?

Haven't they all already been thrown away?

Who else has lost one?

However, when Togekiss turned around, it didn't see any Pokémon except for Xia Yan.

The other Pokémon, who were just as puzzled, looked back but didn't see anything special. Only Kadabra looked puzzled.

In that brief moment, it sensed something amiss.

But it flashes by in an instant, and the feeling is not clear, just like an illusion.

Only Xia Yan.

When he turned around, he saw the elf floating in mid-air, happily covering its mouth, squinting its eyes, looking like it couldn't contain its joy.

This sprite is small in size, resembling a fairy, and quite similar to Mew from the Kanto region. It is generally blue and gray, with a blue head that looks like it is wearing a hat or a mushroom. It has golden pupils, a crystal red gem in the middle of its forehead, a gray body, and two gray tails, each with a red gem at the end.

Arknom!

The "God of Will" among the "Gods of the Lakes" resides in Arknom, Lake of Willpower!

It can also be affectionately called the "Blue Saint Mushroom" among the "Three Saint Mushrooms".

Despite Xia Yan's bold conjecture that the Pokémon that stole the deer leg was Azelf, the first Pokémon that Xia Yan could think of in the vicinity that could steal the deer leg without anyone noticing using Kadabra's psychic powers was Azelf.

But when he actually saw Arknom, he couldn't help but show his surprise.

This is a legendary beast that can be traced back to the origins of the elf world!

As Arknom laughed heartily, it suddenly felt a gaze fall upon it.

He showed a hint of panic and surprise.

Their surprised gazes met Xia Yan's equally surprised gaze.

Arknom lives in a different dimension within Lake of Ambition, and only certain individuals can see its soul floating on the water's surface.

The so-called "specific people" are those who possess firm beliefs and have gained Arknom's approval.

"Singing bells—"

A clear, ethereal voice rang out as Arknom slowly approached Xia Yan.

A pink halo of superpower emanated from Xia Yan's golden eyes, circling around him and making a series of crisp sounds.

At the same time, Xia Yan's eyes also flickered with superpowers, and images of his arrival in the Pokémon world flashed before his eyes.

Training hard alongside the unicorn, struggling for survival.

Their efforts to escape the fossil pterosaur attack beneath the dark ruins.

And Casey's persistence in making it stronger.

...

“Sound of bells—” Arknom nodded repeatedly as he watched.

It only showed some clips, some clips that showed Xia Yan's firm belief, and did not involve Xia Yan's memories or privacy.

But even just watching these clips, Arknom understood why Xia Yan could see him.

Suddenly, another image popped into Xia Yan and Arknom's eyes.

A spatial rift torn apart, a world turned upside down and destroyed, and a single, emotionless eye peeking out from the rift.

"Yan!"

Arknom cried out in surprise.

Giratina!

That was when Marcia revealed the secrets behind the Misty Island to Xia Yan.

I didn't expect this screen to appear.

This startled Arknom.

With a flash, he disappeared from Xia Yan's sight.

The scene before Xia Yan's eyes disappeared completely, and he saw several elves surrounding him, looking somewhat anxious.

'Were you scared?'

They're leaving already?

Xia Yan pursed his lips, somewhat disappointed.

I thought I could get something from Arknom, whether it was information or items, or at the very least, improve my relationship with it and make a good impression on it.

Shake your head at the elves to put their minds at ease.

"It's nothing, I just saw some interesting things."

Hearing this, the elves all breathed a sigh of relief.

They all felt that Xia Yan seemed to be possessed.

Swish swish swish—

However, before they could ask for any specific details, there was movement on the lake again.

The water broke open, and a ferocious blue elf with a red mark on its head, its eyes filled with rage, leaped out of Lake of Ambition.

"Roar!!!"

An angry roar, carrying a fierce aura, rushed towards us.

Gyarados!

The appearance of Gyarados with the Intimidate ability has had a significant impact on Pokémon.

Clearly, the last pebble Arknom threw hit the head of the Gyarados that was foraging for food.

Arknom's unrestricted power, even when applied to a mere pebble, successfully enraged this already easily angered elf.

He was preparing to vent his anger on Xia Yan and the others.

Gyarados is a Pokémon that is very easily angered. Because Magikarp can appear in any body of water in the Pokémon world, it is possible that Gyarados could also appear in all the body of water in the Pokémon world.
