Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan silently took a breath, trying to forcefully suppress the unpleasant feeling in his heart.

A seasoned Gyarados doesn't need Beedrill to intervene.

"Single sword sheath," Xia Yan called out softly.

"sigh."

The single sword sheath immediately came to Xia Yan's side.

It could sense that Xia Yan wasn't in a very good mood.

It was rare for him to be so obedient and not show any sign of backing down.

Sensing the change in the sword sheath's condition, Xia Yan glanced at it with slight surprise.

At this moment, shouldn't Dujianshe be lamenting how dangerous the world is?

You can attract a seemingly powerful elf by simply throwing a stone at it.

After a little thought, I understood the idea behind the single sword sheath.

The discomfort I felt earlier was instantly dispelled by the change in the sword sheath.

Unbeknownst to him, the sword sheath also began to change under his influence.

When trainers genuinely care for their Pokémon, the Pokémon can sense it.

He took a deep breath and smiled again.

Indeed, one shouldn't be too concerned about gains and losses.

Look at the Gyarados charging towards you.

He said calmly, "Cut it!"

Clang!

The sword blade was drawn from its sheath with a soft hum, and the sword dance amplification was activated.

"Roar!!"

When Gyarados saw that such a small creature as the Sword Sheath dared to provoke it, its eyes were completely bloodshot.

whoosh-

The single sword sheath closed in on him.

...

...

Five minutes later.

boom!

Gyarados's massive body crashed heavily to the ground, completely losing its ability to fight.

Clang!

The sword was returned to its sheath.

For the first time, after observing her opponent and herself with a more rational mindset, Dujianshe felt a strange sensation rising in her heart.

It seems...it seems...I'm not that weak?

Xia Yan threw out the Poké Ball, having completely recovered from the disappointment of Azelf's departure.

It's not like I'm some kind of idiot with a protagonist's halo; I can't expect to win the favor of every elf I encounter.

Retrieve the Poké Ball containing Gyarados.

Besides, haven't we already acquired a veteran-level Gyarados?

That's quite a gain.

While Gyarados may have personality flaws, its strength is undeniable, making it quite popular in the black market.

Clap your hands.

Smiling, he asked, "Alright, what would you like for dinner?"

far away.

In the alternate dimension of Lake Lizhi, Arknom tilted his head and looked at Xia Yan curiously.

Arknom could clearly sense his emotional changes.

'He's truly a human with strong convictions; he exudes such a powerful aura. Perhaps he...'

Chapter 118 Xia Yan's Greatest Treasure Trove

Grilled fish.

The elves, who had fallen in love with the taste of barbecue, ultimately chose grilled fish after some consideration.

Right next to it is Lizhi Lake, where you can easily catch a lot of fish.

In addition, the abundant "sweetness" obtained from the queen bee during the day, when applied to the grilled fish, not only removes the original fishy smell but also adds fragrance, making the outside crispier, less prone to burning, preserving its original flavor, and locking in the juices.

The elves couldn't resist the ever-present fragrance.

You don't need any advanced grilling skills; with these ingredients, the taste won't be bad.

As the first Pokkigu to choose, its eyes were already locked on the largest grilled fish, and it kept swallowing its saliva.

of course.

Inevitably, the grilled fish, with its "sweet" aroma, attracted quite a few wild creatures to "watch".

Xia Yan's Pokémon also advise against moving around and expending energy before eating, so that they can eat more later.

"Alright, we can eat now." Xia Yan called over the Pokémon. "Don't worry, this meal is enough. Even if we finish eating, we can send the Megalodon back into the water to catch more."

Lake Lizhi is rich in resources, which are beneficial not only to wild spirits but also to ordinary fish.

Therefore, there are many wild fish in Lizhi Lake, and they are all growing very well and look very plump.

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, the Megalodon raised its head and nodded repeatedly.

Give it to it!

However, it only eats until it's seven-tenths full, and absolutely no more!

The Gyarados it had captured not long ago made it feel threatened.

"Pokkiku, you choose first," Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Chocolate!"

Pokkigu jumped up from the ground excitedly; it had already chosen its target.

But just as it was about to reach out to the stick...

"Yin Lingling—"

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and a petite blue-gray figure appeared in front of Pokkigu, catching the largest grilled fish before it could.

And this time, all the elves saw its appearance.

They've arrived.

It was Arknom, who had just disappeared!

"Chocolate!"

Pokkigu's hand froze on the spot as he stared blankly at Arknom, who was grabbing a grilled fish and eagerly biting into it like a greedy cat, completely disregarding its heat.

Upon seeing the suddenly appearing Pokémon, Beedrill and Kadabra immediately landed beside Xia Yan, watching it warily.

Xia Yan reached out to reassure Beedrill and Kadabra, indicating that they were not in danger, and then looked at Azelf.

Deep within the firelight reflected in his eyes, other lights were shimmering.

“It’s just right.”

Pokkigu pointed at Arknom with a wronged expression and told Xia Yan about the other party's "bad" behavior.

"I was the winner in the splash contest just now."

Suddenly, Arknom's voice rang in Xia Yan's and all the elves' minds.

Telepathy.

"Chocolate!"

"So you're the guy who threw the last stone!"

Pokkiku realized what was happening.

Arknom changed his posture in mid-air and continued to "fight" with the grilled fish in his hand, ignoring Pokkigu and Xia Yan.

Xia Yan gave Azelom, who had manifested on his own initiative, a deep look, then turned to the other elves and said, "It's alright, eat."

He then patted Pokkigu's head and said, "That last stone, it really was it that lost it."

Upon hearing this, Pokkigu lowered his head.

Ok.

If it really was lost, then Pokkiku should indeed have been chosen after it.

Having accepted reality, Pokkigu channeled his grief and anger into his appetite, immediately grabbing the second largest fish and sitting on the ground to feast on it.

The other spirits also started moving in turn.

soon.

The grilled fish was quickly devoured, leaving only a pile of fish bones and a fish carcass.

'tasty!'

Arknom patted his round little belly and exclaimed with great satisfaction.

The elves unanimously agreed on this point.

Arknom adjusted his posture and looked at Xia Yan with his golden eyes.
