Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan said with a smile, "I was lucky."

Cynthia gave him a deep look.

Good luck?

Without sufficient experience and proficiency with these two moves using both sword sheaths, even with luck, you can't combine them.

Luck is also a prerequisite for thorough preparation.

Her beautiful eyes swept over the Double Ice and Duoduo Ice lying on the ground. The wind and snow around them had obviously subsided a lot, and the hail had completely stopped.

This group of people with double the ice is definitely a force to be reckoned with in this region.

“Let’s go, we’re still a while from our destination,” Cynthia said, turning her gaze away.

"Mm," Xia Yan replied, his eyes lowered.

A glint of light flickered in his eyes.

With so many Double Ice and Multi-Ice, some of which have reached the Elite level, the rest are at least Excellent level, and most are Senior level. If used well, they can become a good source of power and production.

Like Blizzard King, Double Ice also has a certain probability and ability to produce "non-melting ice". The difference is that the probability of Double Ice producing ice is far greater than that of Blizzard King.

A group of this size is rare, and they must be carrying some kind of "non-melting ice".

It's really a waste to leave it here.

But with Cynthia around, if Xia Yan were to recklessly take all these Double Ice Creams, it would definitely provoke her resentment, and she might even stop him from doing so.

As a future Sinnoh champion, if Xia Yan is to open a gym in Sinnoh in the future, he will definitely need to cultivate good relationships with people.

and so.

He did not do that.

After Cynthia lifted her foot, he silently followed, his footsteps uneven on the snow.

Not long after.

After Cynthia and Xia Yan disappeared into the snowstorm, a figure slowly appeared.

His eyes were filled with helplessness and...speechlessness.

Dragapult was impressed when he suddenly found himself holding a bag of Poké Balls.

It's a quasi-divine dragon-type Pokémon that's above the Elite Four level, yet it's been reduced to cleaning up battlefields for others?

And this happened in the blizzard it disliked the most.

He angrily threw the package on the ground.

Then......

Then, following Xia Yan's instructions, he collected all the Double Ice and Extra Ice products one by one.

There's nothing we can do; our lifeline is in someone else's hands.

Previously, it was just food, but now the fossil of Dorgonmesia is still in Xia Yan's hands, and any attempt to revive it will depend on his power.

Despite his anger, Draco still meticulously captured the Pokémon.

As for whether collecting so many wild Pokémon would offend Dragapult?

Please, the world of elves is a place where the strong prey on the weak, this is nothing compared to what's to come.

However, it was muttering something.

"Making more money means I can buy more food, that's decided! From now on, I'll only eat until I'm 80% full!"

Chapter Twenty-Five: Flowers in a World of Ice and Snow?

We haven't reached the destination yet, but we're not far away.

They encountered quite a few ice-type spirits along the way. Some were hostile, while others only glanced at them from afar before quickly disappearing into the snowstorm.

To be in better condition, Xia Yan and Xiluo Na chose to hide behind a towering rock to recover their strength and resolve the issue of missing internal organs before making a final push to reach their target location.

"The wild Pokémon here are really high-level, and the Ice-type energy is indeed a bit too concentrated." Xia Yan stuffed the last piece of bread into his mouth and took a couple of sips of water.

The water froze into ice blocks as soon as it failed to appear here, thanks to Yamcha's psychic powers and the Snow Fairy's ability to separate the incoming ice and snow.

"Yes, there was a time when Sharptooth Shark and I used to come up here every day."

Seeing that Xia Yan had finished eating, Shirona couldn't help but speed up her pace.

There was no way she could compare to Xia Yan's eating speed, which was two bites per loaf of bread.

If she knew that Xia Yan ate a loaf of bread in two bites simply because she was there, I wonder what she would think.

Otherwise, why would you need two bites for a loaf of bread?

"What exactly is in that place you're talking about? You seem quite wary of it," Xia Yan asked, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"do not know."

Cynthia hesitated, then shook her head and carefully scooped a tiny crumb from the corner of her mouth into her mouth.

"do not know?"

I didn't know you were so serious?

It's kind of scary.

“Because the snowstorm is so strong, and the closer we get to there, the stronger the snowstorm gets. We can get there, but it won’t be as comfortable as it is today. Every time I take something to eat, it freezes solid before I even have a chance to take a bite. So we always have to make a round trip in the same day,” Cynthia explained.

That makes a lot of sense...

"However, we tried once, but before we reached the final location, we had to turn back because the wild Pokémon were too strong."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan narrowed his eyes.

A wild Pokémon that even Cynthia had to retreat from?

Although it may have been a long time ago, Cynthia should have possessed considerable strength even back then.

"Then how did you know that the ice-energy-rich rocks I mentioned were there?"

Cynthia winked at him, then gently patted the huge rock that was currently sheltering them from the wind and snow.

Xia Yan slapped his forehead.

I'm confused.

All along the way up there was nothing but snow and wind, and I hadn't seen any rocks. But when I got here, I saw a huge rock that could shield me from the wind and snow. Doesn't that say a lot?

There are rocks as you get closer to this area.

Moreover, these are rocks that are not affected by wind and snow, and are covered with thick, solid ice.

"I'm ready."

Cynthia finished the last bite of bread, took out the thermos she had prepared beforehand, and drank a few warm sips of water, quite unlike Xia Yan, a rough man who would drink ice water directly.

"Let's go then."

The two stood up.

This should be the final leg of the journey.

As they approached the place Cynthia had mentioned, the number of large rocks that appeared in the surrounding area increased significantly.

Although it is covered with a thick layer of ice, it is clear that there is still a considerable gap before Eevee can evolve.

However, the Snow Fairy's cries indicate that the ice energy here is indeed gradually becoming more concentrated.

"Bu-i~~"

Ibrahimovic and Tokiku walked at the front of the group. After overcoming their initial "jealousy" rivalry, the two little guys now had a much better relationship and would occasionally chat with each other.

Eevee has also learned from Cynthia and Xia Yan's conversation that it will evolve into a Glaceon that has never been seen before!

The little guy didn't show any resistance to this; on the contrary, he seemed unusually excited.

Having followed Cynthia since childhood, it spends most of its time in Kami's Town, which is next to Mount Coronet. A short walk uphill will take you to the snow-covered area.

So Ibrahimovic really liked this white, cool thing.

This can be seen from the fact that it has been at the forefront ever since it entered Tianguan Mountain.

I was incredibly excited when I learned that I could evolve and gain the Ice type.

Even Pokkigu, which was originally "hateful," now seems a bit cute in its eyes.

Seeing Eevee's expression, Cynthia's smile never faded.

She hesitated to make a decision, partly because she was genuinely unsure which evolution would suit her best, but also because she was unsure which type of evolution would satisfy Eevee.

In retrospect, everyone is happy.

She now possesses the Ice-type ability, which she currently lacks, and Eevee can evolve into whatever form it desires.

Of course, that's assuming everything goes smoothly.

At least for now, things are looking pretty good.

On both sides stood towering rocks, covered with ice crystals and prisms. Xia Yan and Xi Lunna walked in the middle as if they were walking on a deliberately reserved passageway.

Upon arriving at this icy path, the frequency of wild Pokémon activity actually decreased.

However, every wild Pokémon that appeared was extremely powerful, either close to or at the level of a Gym Leader. It was only through the combined efforts of Xia Yan and Cynthia that they were able to pass through smoothly.

No wonder Cynthia only approached this place and had to leave after a short time.

Given her strength at the time, facing a Gym Leader-level Ice-type Pokémon would have been quite a challenge, especially since her ace was the Dragon-type Garchomp.

Furthermore, without psychic-type Pokémon to insulate against the heat, and without ice-type Pokémon to dispel the wind and snow, it's no exaggeration to say that progress is extremely difficult.

"No!"

With a soft cry from the Snow Fairy, they finally reached the end of the icy path.

What appeared before them was a large pile of neatly arranged ice crystal stones, somewhat like a flower. The crystal stones, or rather ice blocks, spread outwards from a center, with more stones near the edge, stacking up to a certain height.

At first glance, doesn't it look just like a flower blooming in a world of ice and snow?

Furthermore, it can be seen that in the center of this "flower" are several palm-sized dark blue stones.
