Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Yongji!"

Yongjira stretched out its mental space, its attention highly focused, and it could also sense that the pressure it faced this time was different from that of the past.

“Cha-ke-yi—”

Pokkigu condenses the ripples of water.

Its water-type move is currently the only one among Xia Yan's Pokémon that can effectively counter Centiskorp.

He wore a bitter expression as he held the two sword sheaths.

It's been battling fire-type Pokémon all this time, which has been tough on it.

As a Steel-type Pokémon, the Fire type is too effective against it, which limits its potential.

Even with the enhancement of the coating, the coating cannot negate the restraining effect of fire-type moves.

The baby is suffering inside, but the baby doesn't say anything.

I gritted my teeth and charged forward.

hum-

Mega Beedrill took the lead, activating Swords Dance mid-flight, but by the time it reached one of the Gym Leader-level Centiskorps, the boost from Swords Dance was already complete.

Cross shears!

A sharp, turquoise cross-shaped blade cleaved out.

It was met with a long whip made of flames.

Bang!

A very clean collision: Bug-type Cross Scissors and Fire-type Flame Whip.

While there is a type advantage, Mega Beedrill benefits from the "Adaptability" ability and the boost from "Swords Dance," and thus does not fall behind in this tentative clash.

but.

There isn't just one Flame Centipede of the Master level.

laugh--

Another flaming whip lashed out from the nearby Flame Centipede.

"Chocolate!"

Togekiku's timely appearance and the "Focus" move successfully attracted the attention of the Centipede.

Just as its fiery whip was about to strike, Kadabra, along with Togekiss, used Instant Transmission in time to evade the attack.

While being taken away by Yamcha, Togekiku also unleashed an invisible supernatural power.

Unfortunately, luck wasn't on their side this time. Perhaps due to the difference in strength, the Flame Centipede failed to cower in fear, instead its ferocity was aroused.

The Flame Centipede is a warlike Pokémon, and its ferocity was fully unleashed after being injured.

Black light emanated from its open mouth, and it lunged suddenly toward the direction where Togekiss had appeared.

This relieved some of the pressure on the giant beetle.

But the pressure didn't disappear; it simply shifted to Tokiku and Yuzuriha.

at the same time.

Using the shadows, the twin sword sheaths appeared behind the Flame Centipede, which was battling a Super Beedrill, and swung the pale blue longsword fiercely towards its weak joints.

The battle erupted in an instant, and the other three elite-level Flame Centipedes reacted only half a beat later, immediately joining the fight.

Standing to the side, holding a Poké Ball in his hand, Xia Yan slowly frowned.

"Is it still too much to push yourself?"

Two Gym Leader level Pokémon are still a bit too much for his current abilities and the strength of his several Pokémon.

Ultimately, Xia Yan's four Pokémon are only elite-level.

It's a bit of a stretch for someone with elite-level strength to face two Gym Leader-level Pokémon and three Elite-level Pokémon.

He shook his head, slightly helpless.

It seems we need to rely on some external help.

While he was focused on directing the battle, the little fire monkey and fire cub that had fallen to the ground took the opportunity to break free of their restraints.

However, the attacks from the Master-level Flame Centipede do not inflict low damage on them.

Cyndaquil lay curled up on the ground, peeking out its two little eyes to watch the changes and outcome of the battle. Chimchar, supporting itself on its knees, staggered to its feet, its little eyes filled with stubbornness and resentment.

After glancing at Xia Yan, who was calmly standing in place directing the operation, the flames on the tail behind him suddenly surged a bit more intensely.

Flames rose again from the clenched little fist.

Although grateful for Xia Yan and his Pokémon's help, Chimchar did not choose to silently accept the help.

It has its bottom line and its own way of doing things.

"Cough!"

It charged straight at a fire centipede that was approaching them.

Xia Yan, who had been watching the Chimchar and Cyndaquil out of the corner of his eye, shook his head inwardly when he saw this scene.

Being too impulsive is not a good habit.

But he didn't say anything, as his own situation was not optimistic either.

Mega Beedrill gained a certain advantage against a Gym Leader-level Centiskorps, but Togekiss, Kadabra, and Scyther were already struggling against another Gym Leader-level Centiskorps, not to mention the three Elite-level Centiskorps.

Their disadvantages in strength and numbers prevented them from coordinating many of their attacks, causing them considerable hindrance.

Xia Yan prepared to summon another spirit to relieve their stress.

Appropriate pressure is good for training Pokémon, but if the pressure is too great, it will not only fail to train them, but may also cause unnecessary injuries to the Pokémon, making it a losing proposition.

However, just as Xia Yan was about to throw the Poké Ball, something else happened.

The flames on the back of the Fireball Rat, which was curled up on the ground, suddenly rose up. It quickly propped itself up and looked at the corner not far away, its eyes flashing with surprise and a lot of grievance.

"Roar!!"

An angry roar rang out.

Then they saw a huge creature that looked like a fireball rat but was dozens of times larger, lying on the ground with its limbs moving rapidly. Flames on its back erupted like a volcano, and as it ran, the surging flames covered its entire body, causing it to run at an all-time high speed.

Energy-Stored Flame Strike!

Like a blazing flame, it charged in and completely overwhelmed the Scorbunny and Chimchar's side. Even Scorbunny, with its "Flash Fire" ability, was somewhat unable to withstand the impact of its charge.

After blasting the swarm of fire centipedes away, the arriving elf managed to stand on its feet, its face contorted with rage as it surveyed its surroundings. The flames on its back testified to the uncontrollable fury within it.

Explosive Beast!

The Pokémon that arrived was none other than Typhlosion, the final evolution of Cyndaquil!

Moreover, judging from the way it cuddled the Cyndaquil in its arms, it is very likely that it is the Cyndaquil's father or mother.

Surprisingly, Typhlosion not only pulled Cyndaquil into its arms, but also the stubborn Chimchar on the other side, without any hesitation.

But the little chimpanzee looked rather unwilling.

It wasn't until the Fire Beast placed its paw on the little Fire Monkey's head that it finally calmed down.

Cyndaquil hugged Typhlosion tightly, whispering something to itself.

It should be that they recounted everything that had just happened.

After listening, Typhlosion breathed a sigh of relief and patted Cyndaquil's round little bottom. Looking at Chimchar, its eyes held an unusual tenderness.

But the little fire monkey, with its arrogant demeanor, didn't seem to take its earlier risky behavior to heart.

Flamethrower was clearly familiar with Chimchar's appearance.

He then looked up at the several Flame Centipedes.

The flames on its back kept leaping.

The fact that their own children almost became their food was something the Fire Beasts could not tolerate.

Take a step forward.

"Roar!!!"

This sound was directed at Xia Yan.

It wasn't that she was venting her anger at Xia Yan, but simply greeting him and expressing her meaning.

After all, the main reason for saving Cyndaquil was Xia Yan and his Pokémon. If Chimchar were to go, it would just be adding a dessert to Centiskorps' dinner.

Xia Yan, who was watching the appearance of the Fire Beast, heard its roar.

"Shall I give you a Flame Centipede?"

Xia Yan understood Typhlosion's meaning, put away the Poké Ball he was about to open, and gestured to Togekiss and the others to hand over the Gym Leader-level Centiskorps to Typhlosion, while they went to deal with the other Elite-level Centiskorps.

Seeing that Kadabra had used Teleport to leave, Typhoon clenched its teeth and flames spilled from between them; it was ready.

Roar! !

An exaggeratedly huge flame spewed out of the Fire Beast's mouth, mixed with terrifying fireballs that resembled magma.

As it exhaled this flame, the flames on its back surged once again.

This is the strongest move of the Typhlosion Pokémon.

Fire-breathing!

Roar! !

And with the Fire Beast's roar once more, the already ferocious and terrifying power of the flames was amplified, and the flames on its back shot into the sky like pillars of fire.

With such power and destructive force, it is indeed capable of serving as a fire-type special attacker in a team.

tyrannical!

After handing over the Gym Leader-level Centipede to Typhlosion, Xia Yan's Pokémon were completely freed.

The remaining one Master-level and three Elite-level Flame Centipedes were no match for them.
