Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Of course, such an effect certainly exists in the real world, though it's somewhat exaggerated.

But it will definitely still be effective against ordinary elves and even humans.

For example, those Snow Kings and Tundra Bears right in front of me, they can't be taken down with a single shot.

But it would be a waste to use it on them; the petrification gun is so powerful, the cost must be very high.

However, it can also be used as a trump card in critical moments.

Moreover, these elves cost a lot of money.

Xia Yan is very poor now, extremely poor.

Snorlax will make him poorer and poorer, so he must hurry up and earn some money for milk powder for the unhatched Pokémon eggs.

However, he didn't rush to take action.

If he rushes out now, and the two clansmen stop fighting and unite against him, then he will have no choice but to flee.

Xia Yan didn't intend to throw out a Poké Ball to summon Snorlax to deal with them.

Putting aside the agreement he made with Snorlax about how many Energy Cubes it would take to make a move, a trump card is called a trump card because it is something that is only used to turn the tide when there is really no other way or when facing mortal danger.

Using it indiscriminately will create dependency. In the future, if we encounter any difficult situations, we can just throw out Snorlax. How will Beedrill and the others get any training?

Ultimately, Xia Yan still needs to rely on the Pokémon he has carefully raised, such as Beedrill. Snorlax is just a means of survival for him during this transitional period.

Unable to be trained, it will likely be unable to accompany Xia Yan to the best of times.

Unless Xia Yan can one day truly capture Snorlax completely.

Therefore, he must now wait for the right opportunity.

Watching the battle between the Blizzard King and the Tundra Bear, and scanning their surroundings, Xia Yan's heart stirred.

Have it.

Chapter 145 Dissociative Identity Disorder, Single Sword Sheath

Throw out a Poké Ball.

Summon Megalodon.

As soon as it emerged, Megalodon shivered upon feeling the biting cold wind.

It must have suffered too.

Despite being a shark living in tropical oceans, it has to face even colder conditions in such a frigid environment.

But Megalodon... "had no complaints."

"Megatooth Shark, when you get to the bottom of that ice layer, try to damage it as much as possible, but not enough to break it. Can you do that?"

Megalodon nodded solemnly with a stern face.

It's not that it doesn't want to make expressions, it's that it has basically lost the ability to manage its expressions.

It's cold enough here.

Go into the water?

"Yongjira, take the single-scabbard down there," Xia Yan said to Yongjira with a satisfied look.

"Yongji."

Kadabra used Teleport, and in a flash, it brought Megalodon and its sword sheath to the edge of the frozen lake.

A slit was made in the ice by the sharp blade of the monopod scabbard, allowing the Megalodon to descend.

Then the Megalodon took a deep breath, and with a look of "the wind howls and the Yi River is cold," plunged headfirst into the icy lake water.

It's really just a bit of a cold snap; as a "qualified" Water-type Pokémon, it has that kind of adaptability.

After catching their breath in the water for a moment, they swam towards the ice beneath where the tundra bears were standing.

After sending the Megalodon into the water, Akagi returned to Xia Yan's side with the single-bladed sword sheath.

"Now all we have to do is wait."

He didn't have to wait too long; Megalodon was quite efficient.

As the ice layer thins, the lake surface becomes more fragile. When tundra bears "inadvertently" step on the ice, they may accidentally step on a vulnerable spot, causing their feet to sink deep into the ice.

It won't cause them any harm, but it will restrict their movement and combat rhythm.

The leader of the Blizzard Kings was very good at seizing opportunities. As soon as he saw the opponent make a "mistake", he immediately commanded the other three Blizzard Kings to launch a fierce attack.

The tundra bears were immediately at a disadvantage.

However, faced with the relentless pursuit of the Blizzard King, the Tundra Bears also became fierce and began to launch a frenzied attack despite their injuries.

The two groups have a long history of hostility, and the Blizzards naturally didn't want to waste the opportunity to strike a fatal blow when the enemy was down.

that's it.

The intensity of the battle suddenly increased several levels.

Wounds began to appear on the bodies of the Blizzard Kings as well.

These were all outcomes that Xia Yan had anticipated.

But that was not his ultimate goal.

He just wanted to see the Blizzard Kings and the Tundra Bears fight each other so fiercely that they wouldn't be able to join forces against him, and that was enough for him.

"almost."

Before the battle was fully decided, and only after the situation became intense, Xia Yan and his Beedrill joined the fight.

Finding a bargain is certainly desirable.

But it's too time-consuming and completely unnecessary.

We also need to give Beedrill and the others some opportunities to fight, especially to gain experience in battles against Ice-type Pokémon.

Yunjira created a psychic field and used teleportation to appear on the battlefield.

What was originally a conflict between two ethnic groups suddenly escalated into a three-way melee.

Since Blizzard King and the Tundra Bears were already completely enraged, there was no possibility of them joining forces to deal with Xia Yan.

As long as they don't join forces, Xia Yan is confident that he can wipe out these two groups.

Kadabra stood in the center of the battlefield, enveloping all the Abomasnow and Ursaring in its psychic field. Its prayer beads rippled, its spoons twisted, and powerful psychic blades flew wildly. With multiple amplifications, its psychic attacks became terrifying. Kadabra finally slowly realized its superhuman psychic talent.

Pokjiko and Natsuhiko stood at the very back, constantly using their supernatural powers to control the movement, or combining their secret powers with the additional effect of converting them into Nen, to slow down their movement speed.

Beedrill flapped its wings, golden streaks of light traversing the battlefield as it carried out its harvesting mission, but its gaze remained fixed on the elite-level Abomasnow King leader, hoping to engage it in battle.

As a Steel-type Pokémon, the Sword Sheath played a significant role at this moment, becoming another finisher besides Beedrill thanks to the Steel-type's advantage over the Ice-type.

Although her eyes revealed fear and worry, she was absolutely ruthless when it came to taking action.

I don't know why, maybe it was due to Xia Yan's influence, or maybe it was the sword sheath's own realization, but its personality gradually changed.

It wasn't that it lacked a cautious nature; in fact, because of a mutual appreciation with the equally cautious Xia Yan, it became even more cautious, but...

The more cautious it is, the more ruthless it becomes, as if it is very worried that if it cannot kill the enemy, the enemy will jump up and deal it a heavy blow.

It seems to be showing signs of a split personality.

While fearing it, it fights without hindrance, and the more afraid it is, the more ruthless it becomes. Its decisiveness in attacking is almost on par with Beedrill, who is an "assassin".

Xia Yan had noticed this situation with the single sword sheath before.

Because Dujianchao had gone through so much in his mind, he didn't even know how Dujianchao had become like this through his own imagination and conjecture.

But judging from the results...

Seems pretty good.

Xia Yan even wondered if it was related to the fact that the single sword sheath had already shown signs of evolution.

It will evolve into a shield-wielding sword monster in the future. When it raises its shield, it will be extremely cautious, and when it wields its sword, it will be fierce and aggressive. It is preparing for its two future forms.

He wasn't sure if all single-edged sword sheaths went through this process, or if his single-edged sword sheath was just special.

After all, the dual-scabbard evolved from the single-scabbard also has a shield.

The shield is a bit small, though.

Small amounts of money are still money, and small shields are still shields.

As he directed the battle while pondering the matter of the single sword sheath, the battle situation gradually became clearer.

All six tundra bears have been defeated, either falling to the sharp stings of Beedrill or the keen edge of the sword in its sheath.

Of the four Blizzard Kings, two have already fallen, leaving only an elite-level Blizzard King leader and a regular Blizzard King that is panting heavily.

Without exception, all eight Pokémon that fell were the work of Beedrill and its companions.

Therefore, Abomasnow King was very wary of Beedrill and its companions' strength.

"Roar!!"

The Blizzard King roared, staring intently at Beedrill.

One-on-one!

As a powerful Blizzard King, it has its own principles.

You can beat me, but if it's a gang fight, winning doesn't count!

"Hiss!"

Beedrill turned to look at Xia Yan, seeking his opinion.

Xia Yan nodded silently.

Beedrill is now at its strongest state, with both its Deadly Sting and High Speed ​​Boost skills fully stacked.

There's also an elemental advantage, so defeating the Blizzard King leader isn't difficult.

Since it made the request, let's grant it in the end.

With Xia Yan's permission, Beedrill looked at the Blizzard leader with surging fighting spirit; it had been staring at the other for a long time.
