Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan did not linger.

He also didn't think that with his luck, he could encounter any rare spirits in the wetlands.

However, thanks to the League's control, the wild Pokémon here are not very aggressive. The abundant resources in the wetlands also mean that they don't have to worry about food and won't attack passing trainers and Pokémon indiscriminately.

Xia Yan even saw a scene of an Arbok and a tanuki living together peacefully.

I don't understand this.

But precisely because of this, wild Pokémon lack the pressure of survival and the cruelty of competition, and their strength is generally weak, making it the easiest path for him after arriving in the Sinnoh region.

However, once the radiation range of the Great Wetland passed, it became dangerous again.

...

...

three days later.

Xia Yan stood in a clearing of rocks, looking up at the massive mountain peak that seemed to stretch to its summit, feeling the awe-inspiring beauty of nature in the Elf World.

Tianguan Mountain!

More accurately, it is the edge of the Tianguan Mountain range; the real Tianguan Mountain should be located to the north of this range.

But since we've arrived here, it means we're not far from Tianguan Mountain.

However, as Xia Yan approached Mount Tianguan, he suddenly realized a big problem.

That's when Tianguan Mountain appeared!

It should have been after the great battle of Giratina, Dialluca, and Palucia.

Tianguan Mountain appeared approximately 200 million years ago due to crustal changes.

In other words, the mountain range from which the stone slab fell that he saw was very likely not Tianguan Mountain.

This is a little awkward.

It's even possible that due to changes in the Earth's crust, that original mountain peak has long since disappeared.

But since we're already here, it would be a shame not to go and see it.

Therefore, Xia Yan decided...

"We won't stay in the wilderness today. According to the information on the map, if we continue north, we can reach Suiyi Town."

Xia Yan looked down at the map displayed on his phone.

To be honest, the tools that Devon and Silver developed are quite good and can be useful in some situations.

Upon hearing that he would finally be able to sleep in a comfortable, soft bed instead of sleeping outside at night, Pokkigu was the first to jump up happily.

"Chocolate!"

Xia Yan certainly had his own considerations.

The frequency of battles in the wild has been too high lately. Although the Pokémon are in relatively good condition, such high intensity and sustained conditions will inevitably cause some hidden injuries to them.

It's best to have it checked at a professional facility with specialized equipment for peace of mind.

Xia Yan looked up at the sky.

"We won't be able to reach Suiyi Town before dark. If we want to sleep in a comfortable bed tonight, we'll have to hurry."

The sun had already disappeared behind the Tianguan Mountain range, and its enormous shadow had enveloped them. If they didn't quicken their pace, they might not make it in time.

"Chocolate!"

Hurry! Hurry!

Pokkigu waved his little hand and took the lead.

Xia Yan smiled helplessly, signaled Beedrill to keep an eye on Togekiss, and then quickened his pace.

just.

Sometimes, the more you want something or want to achieve a certain goal, the less easy it is to get it.

Even in the world of elves, the great god Murphy can still be effective.

As the sun sets and night gradually falls, a thin mist spreads through the forest.

It is another unique environment in the Sinnoh region, mainly concentrated on Route 210 north of Random Town. Due to the clash of north and south air currents and the sudden change in temperature, dense fog often occurs in this area.

Suiyi Town is also within the fog's reach, and Xia Yan and his companions, intending to travel there, would inevitably be shrouded in the fog as well.

Of course, it's not that other regions don't have fog, but they won't be like Route 210 in Sinnoh, which is almost always shrouded in fog, and the fog covers an even larger area at night.

And so.

The group, in a hurry to get on their way, were led by Pokkiku...

be lost.

Pokki looked around blankly, his face filled with despair.

It seems that I won't be able to sleep in bed tonight.

Xia Yan rubbed its little head helplessly.

"It's my fault. I knew that the roads and forests north of Suiyi Town would be shrouded in dense fog, but I didn't expect that the fog would spread and cover such a large area at night. I should have stayed at the foot of Tianguan Mountain range and spent the night there."

Pokkiku hung his head, looking somewhat disappointed and remorseful.

"It's okay, let's try for another hour. Maybe we can find the way. If it doesn't work, we'll just have to spend another night outside."

Seeing that Pokkiku was still a little disappointed, Xia Yan said with a smile, "Alright, even if we can't get to Suiyi Town today, we'll rest there for a day tomorrow, and I guarantee you'll get a bed."

Sometimes, what is actually a trivial matter can have a significant psychological impact if one's expectations are too high and the result is disappointment.

Take, for example, the current Pokkiku.

Xia Yan and the other elves didn't seem to feel anything.

However, after hearing Xia Yan's words, Pokkigu finally recovered, clenching his little fists, and hope ignited in his eyes.

"Chocolate!"

'I refuse to believe we can't get there today!'

After saying that, he looked around with his small eyes and decided to try one more time during the hour that Xia Yan had mentioned.

Xia Yan and the elves simply smiled at its persistence without objecting.

And so, Teacher Bo started leading the team again.

Furthermore, they even deliberately left markings on the ground to prevent getting lost again.

But after they left.

A petite, dark figure appeared in the daze, its jewel-like eyes gleaming with cunning.

With his head held high, he silently erased the mark that Pokkiku had left on the ground.

This move would look very familiar to Pokkurigu if he were here.

Isn't this exactly what it did to Xia Yan in the tunnel beneath the dark ruins?

Therefore, retribution may be delayed, but it will come eventually.

The dark figure chuckled and tiptoed after them.

Chapter 128 Soul-Hooking Eyes

"Cha-ke-yi!!"

Pokkigu stared wide-eyed as he looked around.

Why does it feel like this place is familiar, yet it can't find the marks it left behind?

If this familiar feeling only happened once, it wouldn't be so bad, but it's happened many times already.

“It’s just right.”

Pokki looked to Xia Yan for help.

Xia Yan frowned as well, his feeling was similar to that of Pokkiku.

I couldn't help but recall the moment I encountered Tokkigu in the dark tunnel of the ruins.

A feeling of déjà vu.

The thought just popped into my head.

He said to Togekiss, "Togekiss, do you remember how you treated me and Beedrill back then?"

“It’s just right.”

Pokkiku also realized what Xia Yan meant in an instant.

The next second, Tokkiku took flight and moved rapidly forward.

Beedrill and Xia Yan exchanged a smile.

That's what they did to Togepi back then.

After running for a while, Pokkigu suddenly stopped and immediately ran back in the direction he had come from.

Compared to Xia Yan's previous methods, this was more straightforward and brutal.

However, it's also because Togeki doesn't need to worry about how strong the guy they run into is. Back then, Natsuhiko chose to run into a blind spot because he was worried that the Togeki would be too strong.

With such a turn, the elf hanging far behind certainly wouldn't be able to react in time.

really.

Soon, Kadabra indeed spotted the Pokémon dangling behind them, which was now within its psychic perception range.

"Yongji."

'Found it.'

"Chocolate!"

Pokkigu puffed out its mouth, realizing that someone was actually using its methods to deal with it.
