Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Fire and Dragon type Pokémon are very powerful and therefore very valuable.

In particular, its Dragon-type attribute, and the fact that not many people have seen this kind of Pokémon before, will further increase its value.

However, Xia Yan was not in a hurry to sell.

If used properly, lava terrain will no longer pose a threat to him.

Of course, it's still not very "easy to talk to," so just sell it off and be done with it, and you can still make a big profit.

Didn't you see that Snorlax, having finished its battle, was already staring at him with its squinted little eyes?

"Click—"

I'm hungry—

Xia Yan smiled and rubbed his temples, but in a good mood, he didn't mind if it ate more. "Okay, let's go back first. It's too hot here. I'll give you an extra meal tonight."

"Click!"

'Extra meal!'

Snorlax suddenly felt that he could fight Turtlemon for another three hundred rounds.

Xia Yan put away Snorlax with a Poké Ball, and also put away the Primal Groudon fragments wrapped in layers of psychic power. Only then did he look at the Mega Stone, which should have been the biggest gain from this operation.

Take the other two from the pocket.

The three Mega Stones lay quietly in his palm, gleaming brightly in the golden-red light of the lava cave.

"Three now."

One of them is a Mega Stone for Beedrill, while the corresponding Pokémon for the other two is currently unknown.

"Let me set a small goal: if I can collect a hundred Mega Evolution Stones before Mega Evolution is discovered, I should be able to retire," he said with a slightly joking smile.

Put the stone away.

After scanning the lava cave again to make sure nothing of value had been left behind, they returned to their previous residence, enveloped by Yundira's superpowers.

The Flame Queen Lizard, who was resting on the ground, was startled by Xia Yan's sudden appearance.

However, it was somewhat unexpected to see that Xia Yan had returned unharmed.

Did he not go?

Xia Yan glanced at the Flame Queen Lizard with its head down. In front of it was a small pile of things, all of which were materials and items that the Flame Queen Lizard and the Night Thief Fire Lizards had plundered that day.

Some of the items were quite valuable.

Overall, it's a good return.

"Very good." Xia Yan praised generously.

Then they lit a campfire and prepared to cook on the spot.

He threw out all the Poké Balls he had on him, and summoned Snorlax, Torterra, Flygon, and Tyranitar.

Looking at their increasingly larger size.

Xia Yan kept shaking his head.

'No, this can't go on. Even though it's just a tool spirit and doesn't require too many resources, one of them eats as much as dozens of others. I'll eventually break down.'

These guys consume a lot of food, even if they only eat medium-level energy cubes.

Not to mention there's also a Dragon Balut.

The number of utility Pokémon far exceeds the number of main Pokémon.

It is necessary to appropriately remove a few...

Xia Yan rubbed his chin, glancing at the ancient giant dragonfly and the monstrous jaw dragon.

These two guys are pretty good.

The ancient giant dragonfly and the monstrous jaw dragon noticed Xia Yan's gaze and immediately felt a chill run through their bodies, their bodies stiffening.

Oh no!

On the other side, Salamence looked at Xia Yan's "massive" army, and was especially shocked when she saw Snorlax and Torterra.

Could that powerful giant turtle be the spirit they've always feared deep within the lava cave?

She too was subdued by this seemingly weak man in front of her?

Xia Yan withdrew his gaze, deciding to return to the Elf Era before considering anything else.

Turning to the Flame Queen Lizard, he said, "Tomorrow, gather all the female Night Thief Salamanders from your clan here."

Upon hearing this, the Flame Queen Lizard paused for a moment, but still obediently agreed.

'If I take all the female Salamanders away, won't the Salamander colony slowly disappear without female elves?'

Male fire lizards are not very useful, but female fire lizards can produce pheromones, which makes them somewhat valuable.

'No, that's not right. We still need to take a few males with us, otherwise the ones I'm carrying will eventually go extinct too.'

Then let's take a few of the stronger, elite male fire lizards with us back home for "sustainable development."

Chapter 47 The Desert Attack

The fourth day after entering the alternate dimension.

Xia Yan finally left the underground tunnel buried thousands of meters below the surface.

While it would be nice to get through this trial safely, the abundant resources are even more appealing, especially after learning about the existence of Primal Groudon Shell.

As for how to leave, it's actually not difficult.

Let Excadrill carry Kadabra's Poké Ball upwards. Once it breaks through the ground, Kadabra can come out of the Poké Ball, drop the Psychic "anchor," and then use Teleport to return, allowing you to leave with Xia Yan and the others.

A distance of several thousand meters is not a very long distance for Yundira's teleportation.

When Xia Yan was bathed in soft light again, before he could even take a deep breath of fresh air, he immediately activated his superpowers.

Ok.

It's he who thinks too much.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the underground tunnel, he did not find himself in a lush forest, but in a desert area. The raging sandstorm was so fierce that if he dared to take a deep breath, the sand would instantly block his airways.

Look around.

Everywhere you look, there is an endless desert, and sandstorms flying everywhere, obstructing your view.

The sand beneath his feet sank slowly, soon covering his ankles.

"It's definitely a bit different from what I expected." He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

But it wasn't too unexpected; at least it was much better than being in a vast ocean... Xia Yan comforted himself.

But this raises the question of which direction to go next and where to look for fragments of the original Groudon's shell.

This alternate dimension is clearly not small; it's probably comparable to the alternate dimension of Regigigas. The wild Pokémon living in it, judging from the Saurami and Excadrill leaders, are quite powerful.

Even larger groups can become stronger.

Xia Yan thought for a moment, then threw out a Poké Ball and summoned Tyranitar.

Its massive size shielded it from much of the wind and sand.

Dense sandstorms blowing against its thick rocky surface do not cause any damage.

Xia Yan came onto the body of the Monsterra. Its large feet and Rock-type Pokémon would be quite useful in this desert.

"Walk."

Pointing in the direction where there seemed to be a hill in the distance, Xia Yan patted the head of the Monster Jaw Dragon.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex is now completely tamed and incredibly obedient. Especially after learning that Xia Yan was planning to "lay off" employees, it became even more eager, fearing that it would be one of those to be laid off.

It has long since stopped thinking about freedom.

free?

Freedom is precious, but delicious food is even more valuable.

With the Tyrannosaurus Rex shielding Xia Yan from the sandstorm, the troubles he faced were greatly reduced.

"Pokkiku".

"Is that alright?"

Looking out at the hazy surroundings of Pokkigu, this was the first time it had ever seen a desert environment, and it was filled with a sense of curiosity.

However, upon hearing Xia Yan's call, she immediately came to his side.

Xia Yan rubbed his chin, sizing up Pokkiku.

Teacher Bo, it seems like it's been a long time since you've used your powers.

Pokkiku felt uneasy under Natsuhiko's gaze and asked warily, "Chaka?"

Xia Yan was amused by its appearance and said with a smile, "Stop joking. Pokkigu, let me ask you, if I want to find that dark red stone we saw in the lava cave yesterday, which direction do you think we should go?"

Pokkigu's luck is pretty good, but it's unpredictable. It hasn't worked for a long time, and Xia Yan doesn't know if it's still working.

Since we're going to be searching aimlessly anyway, we might as well listen to Pokkigu's advice.

“Chako-ee—” Pokkigu breathed a long sigh of relief, it had thought Xia Yan was going to do something.

Standing on the head of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, it looked around, sometimes rubbing its chin like Xia Yan, sometimes making a Buddhist gesture like Kadabra, appearing exceptionally "professional".

Xia Yan squatted down and flicked its head with his index finger. "Stop with all this nonsense. Just rely on your sixth sense, or just point in any direction."

The more seriously you take Pokkiku, the less effective it becomes.

Its unconscious actions are the most likely to succeed.

“Chakoi…” Pokkigu grimaced and rubbed his head, pointing casually.

This time it was really just a random point.

“Okay, let’s go in this direction, Tyrannosaurus Rex.” Xia Yan didn’t doubt him and chose to trust Togekigu’s intuition.

"Roar."
