Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

But there's a big problem.

How will they meet up?

No one knows where they will be teleported to, wandering around blindly like a headless fly. Before they can even find their companions, danger may strike first.

Running around without sufficient strength is less safe than staying in a familiar place and environment.

Xia Yan did not speak.

He waited for Wataru and Cynthia to make a decision.

however.

When he looked up to see why none of them were speaking, he saw that Lance, Cynthia, and Daigo all had their eyes on him.

Why are you looking at me?

However, they just stared at him without saying a word.

Wataru and Natsuhiko had been to the wilderness a long time ago, and Wataru had great trust in Natsuhiko's judgment and execution. In fact, he wasn't that close to Daigo or Cynthia, but he had been through life and death with Natsuhiko.

Needless to say, Cynthia received Xia Yan's help on Mount Tianguan just two days ago and highly acknowledges his strength.

Daigo also escaped trouble once in the dark ruins thanks to Natsuhiko's reminder.

Xia Yan may not be the strongest among them, but he probably has the most extensive wilderness experience.

Moreover, he seemed to subtly become a link between Wataru, Daigo, and Cynthia.

Du Juan, who made the suggestion, did not forget Xia Yan, whom she initially considered a "paparazzo." However, she never expected that these three top geniuses of the alliance would be so willing to listen to his advice.

This surprised and intrigued Du Juan.

Xia Yan raised his hands in surrender.

"Alright alright."

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "What I mean is, don't act rashly once you're inside. Find a relatively safe place to familiarize yourself with the environment, understand the level of danger in the space, and only consider other things when you can ensure your own safety."

"Tell me the specific arrangements." Du stated his position, indicating that this time he was willing to listen to Xia Yan's arrangements.

Cynthia and Daigo both nodded.

Xia Yan: "..."

She rolled her eyes in annoyance.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Five days. Five days to familiarize yourself with the environment. After five days, once you're sure you have enough ability, start looking for others. Those who feel they lack ability should stay where they are and wait for others to come looking for them."

We adopted a unified marking system, leaving a mark wherever we passed, whether in the forest or elsewhere. And the marks were always placed low, at the base of trees or beneath rocks—concealed enough yet still easily spotted by others.

After saying that, he looked up at the group of people.

The three of them didn't see anything wrong with Xia Yan's suggestion.

"Why should the mark be hidden? Doesn't that make it easier for us to miss it?" Dujuan asked.

As they spoke, the group had already followed the main group to the entrance of the space device.

Xia Yan gave her a look as if she were a naive and innocent girl, smiled subtly, and said, "Don't be too naive and trusting of others, little sister."

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the space device.

His words were overheard by Kikuko and Genji, who were standing not far from the device.

Kikuko smiled, her old face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, and her deep voice rang out, "It's a pity that this little guy appeared in this day and age."

Genji, standing next to him, nodded in agreement. "I think I would have gotten along well with him when I was younger."

They all came from the very beginning of the alliance, from that most chaotic era.

Otherwise, why would the older generation have such strong field combat capabilities?

Especially Kikuko, although her regular combat skills are not weak, they are still several levels below her field combat skills.

The Ghost Legion is no joke.

"Didn't you see those three little guys? They all get along well with him. It doesn't matter what era you were born in." Kikuno smiled and gestured with his chin, indicating to Watari and the other two.

Kikuko nodded, a glimmer of light flickering in her lowered eyes.

It seems that some issues that were previously left unresolved were resolved in the blink of an eye.

The person who made her decision was Xia Yan, who had just stepped into the space device.

If Xia Yan were still on the island, he would probably feel a chill down his spine.

That feeling... of being targeted by a "cunning old fox".

Chapter Thirty-Six: "Luck Comparison" Xia Yan?

Xia Yan was all too familiar with traversing space.

After a brief period of dizziness, he felt his feet touch the ground.

I immediately threw out a Poké Ball and summoned Beedrill.

Make sure you are safe before looking around.

It was pitch black; you couldn't see anything, as if you were in the middle of the night.

He quickly took out the flashlight he had prepared beforehand, and the dim light shone.

Then I realized that I seemed to be in a tunnel, maybe underground, or maybe in a mountain.

"If you're unlucky, you might actually be teleported into a rock or into the soil underground..."

Xia Yan felt somewhat fortunate; he was lucky enough to be inside a tunnel.

While an underground tunnel is certainly not the best-case scenario, it is at least not the worst-case scenario either.

If you're lucky, you might find yourself in a forest, which would be quite good.

But you never know, it might just appear right in the middle of some elven territory, and then you'd be instantly eliminated.

"Dorambaruto?" Xia Yan didn't move immediately, but instead called out to the open space next to him.

“Baruya,” Doronbaluto’s voice rang out.

Hearing this voice, Xia Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Dorambaruto was still alive and had not been separated by this so-called random teleportation.

So, random teleportation is actually fake?

Is it just a gimmick used by the alliance to bluff?

He then asked, "Dorambaruto, did Genji and the others sense you just now?"

Then Dorambaruto slowly appeared, his eyes filled with doubt, and he shook his head hesitantly.

'There shouldn't be...'

There's none?

However, judging from Dorombalut's hesitant expression, it was clear that even it wasn't entirely sure.

Xia Yan felt a little regretful.

If he had known that the three Elite Three would be coming, he would have put Dragapult into his Poké Ball beforehand.

But if Genji and his team don't discover it, it's good news for Xia Yan as well.

This undoubtedly gave him more opportunities to leave with some less obvious resources, such as... some quite valuable elves.

The presence of Dorambaruto also provides greater assurance for Xia Yan's safety.

After learning some information from Dorombalut, Xia Yan began to prepare to explore the tunnel, whose location was completely unknown.

Throw out the Poké Ball again to summon Kadabra and the others.

With all four main Pokémon present, we felt a bit more confident.

He is quite experienced in exploring unknown areas.

The fusion of Yunjira and Xia Yan's own superpowers creates a wider range of superpower perception, and Xia Yan can also detect approaching creatures immediately.

He concealed his twin sword sheaths in his shadow to prevent any spirits undetected by his superpowers from getting close enough to launch a sneak attack.

Beedrill led the way with its two needles, while Togekiss followed silently beside it, ready to provide support and control at any time.

After the trip to the Regigigas dimension, Xia Yan had been thinking about what items to use to further enhance the Pokémon's strength and maximize their unique characteristics.

Beedrill is missing a focusing scope to improve its accuracy in targeting its opponent's weak points.

The silk scarf that Togekiss is currently wearing can actually be replaced. The silk scarf, which boosts Normal-type moves, doesn't provide much of a boost to Togekiss right now. If possible, it would be better to replace it with a more sophisticated scarf, which can significantly increase its speed.

While the downside is that the Scarf restricts the Pokémon wearing it to using only one move, it doesn't significantly affect Togekine, which is used to using Psychic to trigger control.

The support role can now be replaced by Sakura, whose main function is to be a pure controller.

If it evolves into Togekiss, then wearing a scarf will provide an even greater boost.

However, Xia Yan did not find these two items at the auction house in the black market of Zhuqing City, and he did not find them even after a brief tour of the black market.

Because of limited time, I didn't search carefully.

After this trial ends, he should go find these two items as soon as possible.

As I pondered these thoughts, I explored the tunnel.

Gradually, the tunnel widened, and a spacious cave appeared before them.

They hadn't encountered any wild Pokémon along the way, but that might not be good news.

Wild elves are not everywhere. This either means that there is a well-established elf population, or you will not encounter them at all. If you do encounter them, there is likely to be a whole group of them.

Either there is a very powerful spirit in the vicinity that has entered its territory.

Xia Yan had a pretty good grasp of the survival methods and social structures of wild Pokémon.

Step into this cave.

It wasn't a sealed cave; the rock walls on all four sides had dark entrances similar to the one he had entered through, leading to unknown directions.

Drip, drip, drip—
