Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

No wonder she rarely smiles.

Because her smile could cause a car accident on the road.

Gently stroking the back of the Garchomp.

Garchomp was her best friend since she was a baby, and they've been together ever since. Garchomp is finally close to evolving.

Xia Yan slowly rubbed his chin.

Once Garchomp evolves into Garchomp, as the final form of a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, it will likely become a formidable opponent in the upcoming "Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament".

Tricky.

Perhaps it wasn't just her.

Lance and Steven, their Dragonair and MetalGreymon are probably not far from evolving.

"What brings you to Black Gold City?"

After gesturing to Garchomp and putting it away, Cynthia couldn't help but ask.

"No, I just wanted to learn about the resurrection of ancient Pokémon fossils. I heard from others that Black Gold City seems to have information about this, so I came here," Xia Yan said casually.

"Ancient elf fossils?"

"Yes, I obtained it by chance. I suspect it might be a fossil of an ancient elf, so I'm a bit curious about ancient elves."

Cynthia nodded in realization.

"Then you probably won't find such a device in Black Gold City."

"Hmm? Why?" Xia Yan asked with a hint of curiosity.

Hasn't this kind of instrument been developed yet?

Facing Xia Yan's gaze, Cynthia pursed her lips, gently brushed her hair aside, and after a slight hesitation, said:

"My grandmother... my grandmother has a doctorate in mythology, and she's knowledgeable about ancient fossils and legends. The instrument for resurrecting ancient elf fossils has indeed been developed, but..."

"Just what?"

"However, this technology is not very mature yet, and the probability of reviving elves is not high. If it fails, the original fossils may be damaged. Therefore, the alliance does not have much confidence in this technology and has not promoted it on a large scale."

"You can use it if you really want, but the device is at the Sinnoh League headquarters," Cynthia explained.

Cynthia's grandmother, Professor Mustard, is the most famous mythology professor in the Sinnoh region, which is also one of the Pokémon-related fields. Although it is a bit niche, she has a good relationship with many professors in Sinnoh.

For example, it has a close connection with Dr. Yamanashi, whom I saw during the day.

Cynthia has been with Dr. Mustard since she was a child and has a great curiosity about mythology. In addition, her professional skills, which she has cultivated since childhood, are why Dr. Yamanashi values ​​her and made her his assistant.

Mythology and history are inseparable, and Dr. Mustard probably knows quite a bit about the ancient history of Sinnoh.

That information about this should be the most accurate.

"So, if we want to use this device, we still have to go to the Sinnoh League headquarters?"

“Perhaps… you will also need certain permissions,” Cynthia said meaningfully.

Xia Yan: "..."

He glanced at the empty space beside him and gave a subtle, helpless look.

There's nothing we can do.

It's probably impossible to revive the fossil of that dragon Mesia in the short term.

He could either wait for the technology to mature, or try his luck with the Sinnoh League, but the prerequisite was that Xia Yan needed to have a "qualified" identity with sufficient permissions.

He let out a long breath.

"Never mind then, we won't go into Black Gold City. We'll go another time if we have the chance."

“Mm.” Cynthia nodded.

then.

Xia Yanhe and she just stared at each other.

perfect.

Conversation killer!

"Uh, where are you going next?"

Xia Yan really didn't know what to say, and he felt that if the atmosphere continued to be awkward, he would feel very uncomfortable.

A faint blush crept onto Cynthia's face.

She didn't really want things to turn out this way; she was just hesitating about what topic to use...

She lowered her eyes, brushed her hair aside, and whispered:

"Go home and rest for a bit, what about you?"

"How about... we go together?"

Cynthia: "???"

Seeing her questioning look, Xia Yan quickly explained, "I'm going to Tianguan Mountain, so it should be on the way."

"Oh."

Xia Yan added, "Maybe it can help your Eevee evolve into the evolution you want."

Upon hearing this, Cynthia's eyes lit up.

"What evolution? Espeon? Umbreon? Or some other three-elemental Eevee?"

"Is this all what you want?" Xia Yan asked in return.

Cynthia hesitated.

She is facing another difficult choice.

"You'll find out then. Let's go."

Cynthia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter Seventeen: The Days of Living with Cynthia?

"This spirit... an ancient giant dragonfly?"

Cynthia stared in astonishment at the ancient giant dragonfly summoned by Xia Yan, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

“Yes.” Xia Yan nodded in agreement.

As Dr. Mustard's granddaughter, Cynthia must have some knowledge of ancient gods and monsters as well as the history of the nation, so she was not surprised at all to know about the ancient giant dragonfly.

Xia Yan's decision to summon the Ancient Giant Dragonfly directly without any attempt to conceal it from Cynthia was also part of his plan.

Both the ancient giant dragonfly and the monstrous jaw dragon are ancient spirits.

But it's impossible to say that the league has absolutely no understanding of it.

Xia Yan was subdued in the Dimension of Regigigas. The Alliance has so many different dimensions, do you think you won't encounter one or two in there?

It's possible that these Pokémon weren't announced for some reason, or perhaps it's inconvenient to announce them.

But Xia Yan had no such taboos; sooner or later, he would present it to everyone.

Using Cynthia and leveraging Dr. Mustard's reputation is undoubtedly the best choice.

After all, he couldn't hide it forever.

"This is the first time I've seen one alive." Cynthia hesitated, then took a few steps forward.

The ancient giant dragonfly noticed Cynthia approaching and quickly gave Xia Yan a look.

'Should we get rid of her?'

Xia Yan's eye twitched, and he smiled awkwardly. He reached out and placed his hand on the back of the ancient giant dragonfly, signaling it not to act rashly.

This is for its own good.

Otherwise, in the end, no one will know who killed whom.

"May I touch it?" Cynthia asked in a clear voice.

"of course."

Then, Cynthia's slender, delicate hand slowly rested on the ancient giant dragonfly, feeling its rough and hard shell, and clearly sensing the full and powerful muscles beneath it.

"Quite energetic," Cynthia remarked, her interest seemingly piqued instantly.

"Yes."

Isn't that right?

Since the ancient giant dragonfly followed Xia Yan, although its treatment was not as good as that of Beedrill and Dragapult, it was much more comfortable than its life in the ancient giant dragonfly clan.

Every day I don't have to do anything but joke around with those two monsters, the Jaw Dragon and the Megalodon, and I have plenty of medium-level energy cubes to eat. It couldn't be more comfortable.

The "defective products" that Xia Yan failed to make when creating advanced energy cubes all became their food.

To describe the inner thoughts of the ancient giant dragonfly that followed him in Xia Yan's words, it would probably be something like, "I'm so happy here that I don't even want to go back to my homeland."

The ancient giant dragonfly didn't feel any discomfort from being touched by Cynthia, but it looked at Xia Yan again as if seeking confirmation.

'Boss, this guy's so weak, aren't we going to bury him?'

Xia Yan ignored its signal.

埋？

It's still uncertain who will bury whom.

Is it asking for your opinion?

Xia Yan did not respond, but Cynthia sensed a change in the ancient giant dragonfly's eyes.

Xia Yan: "..."

She let out a slow breath. "It's nothing, I'm probably just a little full from eating too much. Let's go."

Cynthia withdrew her hand.
