Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

However, it is clear that this amount cannot be sustained for long.

After leaving the auction house, a massive sweep quickly ensued.

The energy blocks from a few sprites make up the majority of the game.

Previously, each elf spent about 500,000 to buy a super-grade energy cube, which could last for a month.

However, the energy cubes purchased that time were relatively low-tier even among super-grade energy cubes, so they were relatively inexpensive.

And this isn't even a custom energy cube.

This time, Xia Yan directly purchased energy cubes that were considered to be of relatively high quality among the special-grade energy cubes. Excluding Togekiss, Beedrill, Kadabra, and Sagittarius, the three Pokémon cost a total of 2.4 million, which is about 800,000 per Pokémon.

As for the energy cubes of Dorambaruto and Sakura, Xia Yan can now produce them himself, although it takes a little time.

In addition to energy cubes, I also bought a lot of other types of food, as well as training tools and equipment.

As their strength increases, the production cost of these devices increases in order to meet the needs of the Pokémon, resulting in a significant expense.

For example, the special calcium supplements that beetles love can make their stingers harder and their carapace thicker.

The items that Kadabra needs most to suppress its superpowers and help it train its superpowers are the most expensive.

There's also Tokiqua's favorite milk, and a whole bunch of snacks. Compared to Kadabra and the others, Tokiqua is actually the most economical one, even though it bought a lot of snacks.

In addition to the special whetstones for the double sword sheaths, Xia Yan also specially bought some weights to help it get used to the increased weight after the "metal film" was applied, in order to prepare it for its upcoming training.

After buying food and equipment, the next step is to purchase essential items for outdoor travel and combat.

For example, special wound medicines, various antidotes, maggot sprays, etc.

There are also Poké Balls.

This shopping trip lasted the entire afternoon.

The phrase "spending money like water" perfectly describes Xia Yan's state this afternoon.

The purchase of these odds and ends cost a total of 4.8 million Alliance Coins, leaving me with 19.6 million.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there's still a lot left.

But Xia Yan's next plan is to buy a piece of land, and the cost... will probably drain him dry in an instant.

Before leaving the black market.

As is customary, the task was to eliminate the black market "rats" who had their eyes on him.

Now, almost every time he goes to the black market to buy something, he gets targeted by these "rats".

There's no way around it; he really spends a lot of money. If we don't keep an eye on him, who else can we target?

But this time...

Xia Yan strictly adhered to the principle of "no extravagance and no waste," and after leaving the "Burying People" alley, he waved his sleeves without leaving a trace.

He also learned some information from these people.

The real owner behind this black market is indeed Team Galactic, and the person in charge of this area is said to be a high-ranking official.

Of course, knowing this isn't for any particular purpose, but simply to make some preparations in advance to avoid provoking such a powerful underground force.

When leaving the black market.

Xia Yan's only gratitude goes to the space technology of the Pokémon world.

This technology is truly life-saving.

If it weren't for this thing, he wouldn't have been able to take all the things he bought with him.

He twirled the deluxe ball in his hand, a smile playing on his lips, pretending not to notice the slightly resentful gaze coming from behind him.

He bought this at a high price.

All the Pokémon were upgraded to Luxury Balls, including Dragapult.

It's really a bit unreasonable that everyone has been following Xia Yan for so long and has been living in a regular Poké Ball.

So we just changed them all at once.

As for Dorombalto, that can only be considered a "side effect".

The Luxury Ball is a bit more advanced than the Great Ball, but it still can't contain Dragapult; it's just that the limiting effect is slightly stronger.

"Arrive in Blackgold City before evening. Tomorrow, try asking if there's any equipment that can revive fossil Pokémon," Xia Yan said to himself, and the gaze behind him immediately disappeared.

There's still a lot to do.

Reviving fossils, buying or renting land to settle all the Pokémon I'm carrying, conducting special training to prepare for the Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament, following up on the "Friendship" experiment, publishing the paper on "Eevee's Evolution," awarding bachelor's degrees, selecting a "representative" for the Snow Peak Temple and choosing resources, making plans for the Hunter's Guild, and so on...

Xia Yan suddenly felt that he clearly didn't have enough time.

However, just when he felt things were already chaotic enough, a phone call successfully messed up his plans completely.

The caller was Watari, who lived far away in the Kanto region.

"Xia Yan, I have some great news. Are you interested?"

Upon hearing Watari's voice, the first thought that flashed through Xia Yan's mind was...

This guy is trying to fool him!

Because he usually starts his scams like this whenever he tries to fool someone.

The only difference is that he is more experienced and better at concealing his intentions, while Du is not.

She curled the corners of her lips into a slight smile.

Oh--

young.

To try and teach someone to use their limited skills.

However, he still chimed in, asking, "What kind of job?"

"Did you know that the Sinnoh region organized a Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament, inviting young trainers from various regions?"

Xia Yan: "..."

What did he say before?

There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me!

This is the most unruly "troublemaker"!

Men, bring up my Dragon-Slaying Shell!

Chapter Fifteen: We're in big trouble!

"Although it's hosted by the Sinnoh League, the top league also pays considerable attention to it. If we can achieve a good ranking, it will definitely be of great benefit to our future development within the league," Wataru said on the other end of the phone.

Xia Yan pursed his lips.

All he wanted to say was that he already knew.

only.......

"So, you want to participate?" Xia Yan asked to confirm.

"It's not just me, a lot of people I know will be participating, Xia Yan, you'll be participating too, right?"

“…Hehe…maybe.” Xia Yan’s expression was a little stiff.

"Go ahead and join, I'll count you in as a spot."

On the other end of the phone, Watari "took it upon himself" to decide whether or not Xia Yan should participate.

"Spots?"

Xia Yan was stunned.

"Yes, in order to show our best in this competition, the alliances of the four major regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh have decided to allow us participants to enter a new dimension that the alliance recently confirmed for a two-week trial," Lance said excitedly.

The Alliance's alternate dimension, a trial?

This was indeed somewhat beyond Xia Yan's expectations.

Does it include four regions?

It goes without saying that Kanto and Hoenn are all part of the same family, and it's understandable that Hoenn and Sinnoh are also involved. So why aren't Unova and Kalos included?

Xia Yan was also unaware of the current situation within the alliance.

The only certainty is that such a trial will definitely be very beneficial.

perhaps.

If you can demonstrate your potential and talent in this trial and catch the eye of the League, you might not even need to participate in the Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament to qualify for the Gym Leader assessment.

But why didn't Cynthia explain this to him from the beginning?

Is it because they assumed he was from the Kanto region, and that people from the Kanto region would naturally tell him that?

"Hey, Xia Yan, are you listening?"

Watari's voice brought Xia Yan back from his reverie.

"Oh, oh, I'm listening, I'm listening."

"I heard from my elders that this alternate dimension was only recently discovered by the Alliance, and they haven't conducted a very thorough search of it. Although there are dangers, there are also considerable opportunities."

Even if you don't participate in the Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament, you can still try participating in this trial. It will definitely benefit both of us.

As a friend, Watari spoke from the bottom of his heart.

Regardless of whether Xia Yancan participates in the competition, such an opportunity is rare.

in fact.

The League controls many alternate dimensions, both large and small. Some are semi-open, allowing League trainers to freely enter and exit, while others are completely closed and confidential. Knowing about the existence of these alternate dimensions requires considerable authority.

Some of these alternate dimensions have been passed down from ancient times or even the pre-ancient times. After all, the entire history of the Elf World spans hundreds of millions of years.

During this period, various spirits, large and small, and even mythical beasts and magical beasts must have appeared or been born. With the abilities of these spirits, it would not be difficult to create a different space of their own.

However, as time went by, some alternate dimensions disappeared and could not be found at all, while others were gradually found and opened up through the Alliance's conscious exploration.
