Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

They were treated the same way they had been treated.

Can't stand it!

Speed ​​up.

"Yongji."

It spotted it and started to run away.

Yongjila offered a timely reminder.

The elf seemed to be quite fast and had a wide range of senses. It fled immediately after realizing it had been discovered.

However, no matter how it tries to escape, it can't get out of Yongdira's range of perception.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

But gradually, Xia Yan discovered that the elf didn't seem to be just frantically running away, but rather had its own goal.

"It is very familiar with this forest."

After chasing for a while, the surrounding fog became thicker and thicker, and the visibility dropped again and again. In addition, because it was dark, they could only see about two or three meters away from themselves.

but.

They are now not far from the elf, no more than thirty meters away.

They could even faintly hear the commotion as the other person moved through the bushes and grass.

"Beedrill," Xia Yan called softly.

"Hiss!"

The bee understood.

Its wings vibrated rapidly, it broke away from the group, and chased after the enemy alone, increasing its speed to the maximum.

hum-

Only a golden arc remained.

soon.

It caught up with its opponent at Beedrill's speed, and a collision was immediately heard.

I don't know what the outcome will be.

But it's clear that Beedrill has successfully prevented the enemy from escaping.

Xia Yan and the group of elves quickly caught up.

The Pokémon that was confronting Beedrill also came into their view.

"Soul-stealing eyes?"

Xia Yan looked at the elf with considerable surprise.

A short, humanoid elf with a deep purple body. It has a pair of jewel-like eyes that allow it to see its surroundings even in very dim light. It also has a jewel on its chest, but the jewel in its eyes is blue, while the one on its chest is red.

It's a spirit that's both reasonable and unexpected.

Sableye is a Dark/Ghost type Pokémon, and should be one of only two Pokémon in the Pokémon world to possess this type, which gives it good resistances and almost no weaknesses before the Fairy type appeared.

The other one, he had seen before.

Cynthia's Flower Rock Monster.

The good resistances provided by Dark and Ghost types can make them immune to Normal and Fighting types. However, if a Fighting-type Pokémon has learned the moves "Scent Detect" or "Scent Detection", it will be able to deal considerable damage to the Pokémon.

Legend has it that you should not look directly into the eyes of a soul-stealing eye, for your soul will be stolen.

However, with the development of technology, this claim was eventually refuted. In fact, these elves are very friendly; they only play pranks on travelers to gain their attention.

However, their pranks have made them infamous, but this is actually just because they are too lonely living in a dark environment.

These things are quite consistent with what Soul Reaper did to Xia Yan and the others.

It probably saw it as nothing more than a trivial prank.

Moreover, judging from the environment and habits of Sableye, it is quite similar to Togepi's life before Xia Yan met Togepi.

Togepi used to feed on moss or insects found in the tunnels, while Sableye ate minerals.

“It’s just right.”

Togekiss rushed between Sableye and Beedrill, hands on its hips, glaring at them angrily.

"Jie—"

The Soul-Stealing Eye glanced at Pokjigu, its blue gem-like eyes flashing, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Ignoring Togekiss's question, he instead looked at Beedrill with a rather serious expression.

It sensed a great threat from the Beedrill.

Furthermore, it was at a significant disadvantage in the previous collision.

Xia Yan stepped forward and stopped Pokkiku.

He patted its head to soothe it, then said to the bewitching-eyed creature, "You can go now."

"Is that alright?"

"Jie?"

Pokkiku and Sableye both looked at him with suspicion.

“It doesn’t mean any harm; it just plays pranks out of habit,” Xia Yan explained to Pokkigu.

She added, "Think about the you from before."

Upon hearing this, Pokkigu opened his mouth, recalling the arduous and lonely days he had spent in the underground tunnels, where he could only attract attention by playing pranks, thus adding some fun to his monotonous life.

Suddenly, I felt a pang of sympathy for the Soul-Stealing Eyes.

Only by experiencing it firsthand can you know what that feeling is like.

She raised her head and waved her hand at the alluring eyes with a rather arrogant air.

This means it no longer cares.

But out of the corner of his eye, his gaze remained fixed on the alluring eyes.

Sniper glanced at Xia Yan, then at Beedrill, and finally at Togekiss. He inexplicably felt that he and the other person seemed to want to express something, but were too proud to speak.

He memorized the scene of Xia Yan getting along well with the Pokémon, his eyes flashed, and then he turned and left, disappearing into the thick fog.

"Alas~"

The single sword sheath emerged from Xia Yan's shadow and called out softly.

"I know, I felt it too." He said, glancing in the direction the Soul Reaper had fled.

In the darkness, through the mist, a towering, blurry outline appeared before my eyes.

"Since we're already here, let's go take a look."

After the seductive eyes left, Tokiku abandoned its "tsundere" demeanor and hung its head.

Xia Yan patted it with a smile, "Don't worry, we'll meet again."

Chapter 129 Superpowered Individuals

They arrived at the shadowy figure that Soul Reaper had fled from.

What appeared before Xia Yan was a desolate hillside and a dark, deep cave entrance nestled among a tangled thicket of bushes.

The opening was small, just big enough for one person to pass through.

The footprints left on the ground were those of the Soul Reaper.

The Sable-Eye elf likes to eat minerals, so it often chooses to live in secluded, undiscovered corners rich in minerals.

Seeing a wild Sable Eye may lead to the discovery of a previously unexploited mining area.

Of course, the possibility is still relatively low. If it were really that easy to find a mining area, the Soul Reaver would be sought after by all the major conglomerates and powers.

Take, for example, the Zuvuch family, to which Daigo belongs. They are a typical family that started out in the mining industry, but later gradually transformed into a technology company, and now Devon dominates the Hoenn region.

Since we can't find the road to Suiyi Town today, and the outside is filled with thick fog, we might as well go in and take a look.

If it's relatively safe inside, it's a suitable place to stay.

If it really is a mining area, you might get lucky and find some evolution stones, or even a mega evolution stone or a key stone.

Thinking of this, Xia Yan shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

They really think they have a protagonist's halo and can get whatever they want.

"Let's go in and take a look. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll have to spend the night there."

After saying that, he took out a flashlight and went inside.

The cave was pitch black, with almost no light in sight.

The orange beam of light shone in, disturbing the elf who was resting quietly inside.

fluttering—

Amidst the dense flapping of wings, a swarm of supersonic bats and beaked bats, disturbed by the light and noise, fluttered out in a sweeping motion.

Night had just fallen, and it was time for them to go out and forage for food.

Thanks to Kadabra's psychic powers, the Zubats and Golbats did not attack Xia Yan and his friends.

Supersonic bats and beaked bats use sonic radar to perceive their nighttime environment, so fog has little effect on them.

Seeing the group of Zubats and Zubats, Xia Yan actually relaxed a lot.

Their presence at least indicates that the cave is not too dangerous, and no powerful elves have claimed it as their territory.

As the group of supersonic bats and giant beak bats left, the rugged appearance of the cave was finally revealed under the light.

"Maybe I should have kept a Sun Rock for myself," Xia Yan muttered with a hint of regret.

Although the flashlight beam was bright enough, it was still too limited and could not fully illuminate the entire cave.
