Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan pursed his lips. "It must be that the strength and ability of the dual sword sheaths have gained the approval of the Slave King, so he doesn't stop us from walking freely in their territory."

Probably...

Kona suddenly realized.

I wrote that down.

Among wild Pokémon, besides those with gentle personalities who are not overly attached to their territory, and those who are very protective of their territory and will be fiercely attacked once they enter, there are also Pokémon like Slaking and Apexis, whose hostility is not so great once their strength is recognized.

I've learned something new.

"Then we..."

"Let's look for more markings, but try not to disturb the normal lives of the Slave King and the hyperactive apes." Since they've been so accommodating, Xia Yan figured he and his companion should behave themselves.

Looking past the tree where the slacker was sleeping, Xia Yan saw inside...

There are still about a dozen "slave kings" lying there!

If they all had that kind of strength, and united, they would be a huge problem.

It's better to avoid trouble. Now that the Lava Team has entered another dimension, we need to find them as soon as possible and gather them together so that we can at least have some guarantee of safety.

However, what they didn't notice was...

After Xia Yan and Kona left with their Pokémon, Slaking, with his back to them, trembled as he opened his fist, which still bore a red mark.

Wang, feeling a little sorry for her, gently blew on it.

Xia Yan's guess was correct; the strength of the dual sword sheaths had indeed earned the approval of Slacker.

Of course, that's only part of the reason; another part is because they're... lazy.

I'm too lazy to go through all the trouble of getting rid of Xia Yan and the others.

Since the hyperactive apes weren't strong enough and Slaking was lazy, Natsuhiko and Lorelei naturally obtained "passes" to roam freely within Slaking's vast territory.

...

...

After half an hour.

Xia Yan felt despair when he saw the disheveled head peeking out of the tree hole.

Azalea!

Dawu’s little fangirl!

Only then did he remember that when he was discussing the markings with Du and the others, someone else had intruded.

At this moment, he felt utterly hopeless.

He came here looking for a powerful figure, but now it seems like he's the one who's the powerful figure.

Was there a mistake in the script?

But for Du Juan, Xia Yan's appearance was like a savior. If it were Daigo instead, she probably would have rushed up to him crying.

Among the young trainers who were teleported into the alternate dimension, Cuckoo was both the unlucky and the lucky one.

Bad luck, because I almost got eliminated right after landing.

It fell directly into the territory of Slaking and Hyperactive Apes, and such a large territory at that. It was truly a case of crying out to heaven and earth in vain.

One can imagine the scene when Dujuan first arrived here, surrounded by a group of hyperactive apes—it must have been quite a sight...

Tsk tsk.

Like Lorelei, Cuckoo is also a member of the Academy. However, compared to Lorelei, Cuckoo is younger and less experienced. Moreover, she has been under the protection of her father's Feather Robe for a long time and has almost zero experience in wilderness survival. Even this trial was something she secretly signed up for without her father's knowledge.

They also encountered the "Sick Leave King" and the hyperactive ape, which even Kona found extremely troublesome. You can imagine how miserable their lives were a few days ago.

The hyperactive ape isn't the kind of bloodthirsty, ferocious spirit; at most, it will challenge her spirit to a dozen or so one-on-one battles every day.

As for why she was considered lucky.

Because at least her life wasn't in any real danger, although she lived in constant fear, she was safe.

Moreover, within the territory of the hyperactive apes, it also helped her isolate most of the vicious Pokémon, and most importantly, it isolated some wicked human trainers.

With the Magma Team now in another dimension, they are under the "protection" of the hyperactive apes and don't need to worry too much about their attacks.

However...

Looking at it now, it's definitely a bit of a disaster.

After Dujuan finished telling her story, Kona patted the little girl's head sympathetically.

As a fellow member of the academic school, Kona empathized with Dujuan's bewilderment after entering the alternate dimension. If she hadn't met Xia Yan, her life might not have been any better.

Beside the campfire.

Looking at the two girls sitting opposite him, one with a typical mature and sophisticated aura and the other with a cute and innocent look, Xia Yan couldn't feel happy at all.

Kona is one thing, at least she can still be a henchman for now, but this Cuckoo looks like she's never suffered much hardship.

If you really keep these two around, they'll just be two burdens, one big and one small.

And this is under the condition that we might encounter the lava team at any time.

If it were just Xia Yan alone, he could decide whether to fight or run depending on the situation, but what would happen to the other two if he ran away?

Kona might be able to escape, but Cuckoo would be in real trouble.

Xia Yan couldn't just stand by and watch her die, after all, she was Daigo's cousin, and it happened in front of Lorelei.

The greatest tragedy is discovering that you yourself are the one being searched for a powerful patron.

After some thought, Xia Yan made a decision.

opposite.

Kona and Dujuan seemed to get along well and quickly became acquainted.

"Ahem." Xia Yan coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation.

Both of them looked at him at the same time.

After a brief exchange, Du Juan learned from Kona that their team was led by Xia Yan, and most of the decisions were made by Xia Yan. Moreover, judging from the current results, these decisions were not problematic.

"Well, I've been thinking about it, and I think... you should stay here."

Upon hearing this, Du Juan's face turned pale instantly, while Kona showed a thoughtful expression.

"No, I don't want to..." Dujuan shook her head frantically.

She'd had enough of being harassed by the apes.

"Trust me, this is the safest place," Xia Yan said earnestly.

He turned to look at Kona, "What do you think?"

Kona bit his lip; he knew Xia Yan was right.

only......

She felt like she had become a burden, which was the hardest thing for the proud Korna to accept.

"I......"

Looking at Kona's expression, Xia Yan knew that she had also misunderstood.

He quickly waved his hand, "What I mean is, we've chosen to stay here temporarily. I'll go out to look for other people and then come back before nightfall. I have Yamcha's teleportation ability, so I can do that."

All you need to do is seize this opportunity to improve yourselves as quickly as possible. There's no better training ground than these hyperactive apes.

That was his plan.

As long as he acts alone, his movement speed will be much faster. With Yunjira's teleportation ability, he can return quickly after a few trips, which avoids the trouble of carrying two burdens and also provides him with a safe place to live.

Hearing him say that, Connor immediately nodded somewhat embarrassedly; she had indeed misunderstood.

Du Juan glanced at Kona, then at Xia Yan, and it seemed she had no right to refuse either.

"Just make do with some dry rations tonight, then you all go to bed early and get some rest. I'll keep watch."

"it is good."

After they finished eating, Kona and Cuckoo went into the tree hollow to rest, and Xia Yan summoned the twin sword sheaths.

One of the other reasons for choosing to settle here was for the double sword sheaths.

Its coating plan has been delayed again and again, and Xia Yan doesn't want to delay it any longer.

Facing Team Lava, he must improve his strength as soon as possible to ensure that he has enough power to protect himself while also being able to observe Team Lava's actions.

Team Magma wasn't the only ones interested in the Primal Groudon Shell Shard.

"Huh?" The two sword sheaths appeared before him, with a hint of doubt.

thump—

Xia Yan then took out a palm-sized, bright silver metal block. It wasn't large, but it was exceptionally heavy.

The material of this metal block is exactly the same as that of Registeel, one of the three legendary Titans!

Chapter Eighty: I'll help you cure your illnesses!

With two sword sheaths and several elves, they left the place where Lorelei and Cuckoo slept.

We arrived at a secluded corner in the forest.

The special "metallic membrane" that supports the superpower is a remnant left over from when Regigigas created the Steel Pillar Registeel.

Applying a regular metal coating to a Pokémon can, to some extent, enhance the power of its Steel-type moves.

However, the function of this metal film is clearly not limited to this.

"The coating on the dual sword sheaths may have some impact on you. In order to overcome this impact as soon as possible, your training and combat intensity will be increased in the coming period. You need to be mentally prepared."

"sigh!"

The two sword sheaths nodded vigorously.

Through these battles, it also clearly felt its own shortcomings.
