Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The Tyrannosaurus Rex responded without complaint and proceeded in the direction indicated by Togekiss.

...

...

Three hours later.

The monstrous Jaw Dragon stopped.

Standing atop it, Xia Yan and Togekigu looked at the reason that had forced the Tyrannosaurus Rex to stop: a massive vortex of quicksand.

Even strong Pokémon would find it difficult to escape from such quicksand vortexes if they were not adapted to desert conditions.

Layer upon layer of sand will keep rushing up, like giant hands, constantly grabbing you, pressing you down, hitting you, until you are completely dragged into the quicksand vortex and swallowed up.

Xia Yan and Pokkigu both fell into deep thought.

At this moment, their expressions were remarkably similar; they were all resting one hand on the other, rubbing their chins.

'That shouldn't be the case...'

Xia Yan and Pokkigu exchanged glances and received the same message.

However, what Xia Yan wanted to express was that we shouldn't trust Teacher Bo so much, since he hasn't used his powers in a long time.

What Pokjigu was trying to say was that it shouldn't have pointed in the wrong direction; it must have been that the Tyrannosaurus Rex hadn't identified the direction correctly and had gone astray.

Monster Jaw Dragon: Meow meow meow?

"Never mind, it's fine, let's just go around it, Monsterjaw Dragon." Xia Yan chose to give up.

The giant head of the monstrous jaw dragon nodded.

However, as soon as its feet moved, the sand beneath its feet immediately became loose.

The quicksand vortex suddenly expanded!

"Yongji!"

At that moment, Kadabra, who was meditating while sitting cross-legged on the back of Tyrannosaurus Rex, suddenly shouted and opened its azure eyes.

hum-

Beedrill transformed into a golden streak of light, leaving behind fine arcs of electricity in the air, and sped towards Xia Yan. Its body was surrounded by fluctuations of superpowers, indicating that it was moving at high speed!

Swish!

Suddenly, a dark red figure shot out from the rapidly flowing sand, its gaping maw aimed directly at Xia Yan, who stood atop the monster's head and appeared to be the most vulnerable.

Xia Yan's superpower, however, was torn apart almost without posing any obstacle to his opponent.

However, Xia Yan, standing atop the Tyranitar's head, remained calm, his eyes fixed on the Pokémon that had suddenly attacked.

The next instant, a dark figure emerged from his shadow, a huge blue sword shadow swung through the air and swept towards the attacking elf.

It is a holy sword with two sheaths!

Bang! !

The elf was struck by the holy sword with its twin sheaths, its forward momentum abruptly halted, a low growl of pain emanating from its open mouth, and its dark red body was sent flying backward.

However, while it was still flying backwards, a golden figure appeared like lightning in its trajectory.

The turquoise cross-shaped shears struck it mercilessly, interrupting its flight path and slamming it heavily to the ground.

It was the timely arrival of the bee, and its angry, scissor-like strike.

The figure was immediately swallowed by the sand and disappeared after falling into it.

However, its encounter aroused the anger of its fellow elves living in this vortex of quicksand.

One by one, they poked their heads out, and low-frequency vibrations emanated from their abdominal cavities.

Looking at the dark red and brownish-yellow heads, Xia Yan knew that he must have accidentally wandered into the territory of a group of "bad guys".

"Rogue Crocodile".

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Rogue Crocodile Buster

With a deep red body covered in black stripes and a white belly, it can stand and walk upright. It has sharp claws and a thick tail, and its most powerful offensive weapon is its extremely strong jaws.

The most distinctive feature of these elves is their eyes. Except for the central iris, the entire rim is black, with the center being larger and the sides smaller, much like the shape of Venom's eyes. At first glance, it looks like they are wearing a pair of black sunglasses.

Krookodile, a Ground/Dark type Pokémon, can move freely in the desert as if swimming.

The rogue crocodile is impulsive and savage, and is notorious among the elves for its love of provoking trouble. It will try to pounce on and crush any moving object in front of it.

Their habitat is this quicksand vortex, a place that is very dangerous to other elves, but it is the best place for them to play. The flowing sand has become their tool for exercise and play, and at the same time, they can also hunt creatures that accidentally get too close.

Xia Yan and his group's approach made them prime targets for the Rogue Crocodiles, so the Rogue Crocodiles actively expanded the area of ​​quicksand in an attempt to drag the Monster Jaw Dragon into it.

But the enormous size of the Jawed Dragon allowed it to retract in time.

So the rogue crocodile couldn't wait to launch its attack.

However, before it could even touch Xia Yan, it was quickly defeated by the combined forces of the Twin Scabbards and Beedrill.

This attracted even more rogue crocodiles.

But they were also intimidated by the power of the Twin Sheaths and the Beedrill, and they lay prone in the sand, emitting their unique low rumbling sounds, both as a deterrent and as a way to gather strength.

"Walk."

Xia Yan did not hesitate at all and signaled the Tyrannosaurus Rex to retreat.

Fighting a rogue crocodile in the sand is like fighting a water-type Pokémon underwater; the environment is very unfavorable for them.

At least.

We must leave this vortex of quicksand.

Seeing Xia Yan and the others retreat, the rogue crocodiles became increasingly agitated, some unable to contain their anger.

at last.

Seeing that Xia Yan and his group were about to leave the quicksand vortex and were really about to depart, the rogue crocodiles erupted.

"Roar--"

It's unclear who gave the order, but one after another, the rogue crocodiles plunged into the sand and quickly approached the monstrous jaw dragon.

Xia Yan's expression changed slightly.

"Beedrill, Twin Sheaths!"

"Hiss!"

"sigh!"

The two elves understood each other and launched a surprise attack from above.

The Ground and Dark type combination of Krokodji is not actually good. Although it does not have a major weakness like a quadruple weakness, it still has six type weaknesses: Fighting, Bug, Water, Grass, Ice, and Fairy.

Unfortunately, the Bug-type Beedrill, the Fighting-type Sacred Sword with its dual sheaths, and the Fairy-type Togepi are all super effective against them.

Kadabra is the only one that will be restricted, because Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic-type moves.

The rogue crocodiles approached from underground in the sand, and it would be disadvantageous to stay on the surface. Xia Yan recalled the Tyrannosaurus Rex and used his psychic powers with Kadabra to levitate them into the air.

Beedrill and Twinblade charged toward the wriggling sand.

Compared to Beedrill, the dual-blade sheath is more comfortable in this environment; its steel-type nature allows it to ignore the constantly blowing sandstorm.

Combo Slash + Holy Sword!

With increased use, the success rate of using this combination move with the dual scabbards also increased, and now the success rate of the combination can barely reach 30%.

This is absolutely a huge evolution for it.

Swah——

A pale blue phantom sword, carrying a cyan halo, swept past a rogue crocodile that leaped out of the sand.

Slash is a Bug-type move, and Sacred Sword is a Fighting-type move. Although I'm not very skilled at using the dual scabbards yet, if I succeed even once, I can inflict both Bug-type and Fighting-type damage on Krookodile.

Combined with the pre-used Sword Dance, it can be called the "Killer Crocodile".

However, both Ground and Dark-type moves can cause significant damage to it. But as long as it makes good use of Shadow Sneak, coupled with its already excellent physical defense, and with the support of Sakura, who has just entered the Elite level, it doesn't need to worry too much about its safety.

At the same time, although Beedrill is not immune to sandstorms, as a Bug-type Pokémon, it naturally has greater power when using Bug-type moves.

The effects of the Deadly Needle were stacked up in the blink of an eye.

The high-speed movement is also used from time to time to continuously increase speed, and the occasional trigger of the "sniper" characteristic will inevitably result in the downfall of a rogue crocodile if a shot is successfully hit.

do not forget.

And then there's Togekiss, hovering in mid-air. Its tiny body doesn't really attract much attention unless it uses "Look at me."

This is the first time it has been able to use Fairy-type moves without restraint since awakening its Fairy-type ability.

Although it only has one attack ability.

Fairy Wind.

However, Fairy-types also have a type advantage against Krookodile, and if you're lucky enough to trigger the additional effect of "Sharp Fangs," the effect will be even more significant.

Togekiss can also use Angel's Kiss to help Saber Sheath and Beedrill control some difficult targets, or simply use a wide-range Magic Leaf to cast a wide net, and there will always be one or two unlucky ones that get hit.

And so, with Beedrill, Togekiss, and Sabercoatl working together and without touching the sand, Krookodile lost its biggest advantage and actually managed to stay in a stalemate.

However, this group of rogue crocodiles is quite large, and it won't be easy to determine a winner in a short time.

"Yongji."

Suddenly, Yunjira, who was standing with Xia Yan in mid-air as a "spectator" from God's perspective, pointed to a huge, wriggling mass of sand that was rapidly approaching Beedrill and the others from the quicksand vortex not far away.

Wherever that sand gully passed, the other rogue crocodiles all gave way.

"Watch out!" Xia Yan shouted in time.

Upon hearing his words, Beedrill and Twin Blade Scabbard immediately became alert, quickly shaking off the entanglement of the Crocodile beside them and taking off into the air.

rustle--

The sand burst open like fireworks, and a crocodile, significantly larger than the others, broke through the sand and rushed out.
