Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

This is the new understanding it has gained today.

It also fantasizes about the future, when it becomes stronger, and Cyndaquil evolves into Typhlosion and becomes stronger, the two Pokémon will work together to dominate this area.

only.......

The thought that Cyndaquil might stay with its own kind instead of choosing an "outsider" like itself was somewhat disheartening.

Pokkigu was very talkative, a trait that was evident early on.

Perhaps it's due to its personality, or perhaps it's the nature of Pokémon, but even when it was alone, Togekiss remained optimistic.

Unlike the little fire monkey, it didn't seem to be as anxious or insecure.

The little chimpanzee looks very strong, stubborn, and indomitable, displaying a resilient demeanor.

But in fact, it further proves its inner fragility.

The more obvious its outward appearance, the weaker its inner self.

This is its disguise, an unconscious disguise for self-protection.

Of course, we cannot deny that it does have a strong-willed nature.

And its nature is perfectly complementary to that of the Pokkigu.

Seeing Togekiss and Chimchar chatting casually, Xia Yan smiled and felt much more at ease.

Once you reach the lair of the fiery beasts, you no longer need to worry about where they can run off to.

He has ample time to learn more about Chimchar and then try to catch it.

But not now.

The elves and I found a relatively flat spot outside the Fire Beast's lair.

It's time to rest.

A lot happened today. He not only disguised himself and infiltrated Team Lava, but also went into Fire Valley to find suitable Fire-type Pokémon, and eventually he actually found a few targets.

Although it hasn't been subdued yet, the result is good, and things are going smoothly.

But even Pokémon that have been fighting all day need rest. Beedrill had Mega Evolved twice in just one day, which was a considerable burden for both him and Beedrill.

The dual sword sheaths had only been coated for a few days and were still in the adaptation phase. After battling a Fire-type Pokémon that was its natural weakness all day, it was naturally exhausted.

However, to be fair, combat is indeed the best way to get used to the blades. Compared to the day they were first coated, the dual sheaths are now much more comfortable with each other.

According to the original plan, Xia Yan should now use Kadabra's teleportation to return to the apes' territory and reunite with Lorelei and Cuckoo.

But now that he's found Chimchar and Cyndaquil, he's not going back.

Anyway, after spending a few days together, Kona and Cuckoo consciously learned from each other, and these two typical academic members have improved their wilderness survival skills considerably.

With the territory of the apes serving as a natural barrier for protection, there is not much to worry about in terms of safety.

If he were to return it like that, Xia Yan felt like he was really about to become their babysitter.

After deciding not to go back.

Then I started preparing dinner for today.

The changes in light are not visible underground, but the Valley of Flames should be completely dark by now.

Xia Yan's food was easy to handle; he had brought enough dry rations and water, so he could just eat whatever he wanted. But the elves' food was not something to be taken lightly.

To maximize the effect of energy blocks, it's best to consume a sufficient amount every day.

Not only his four main Pokémon, Beedrill, but Xia Yan also carries a number of support Pokémon, such as Sakura, Mudstalker, and Tyranitar. With the number of Pokémon Xia Yan carries, mealtimes are always a major undertaking.

There are nearly a dozen or so elves in total.

The commotion outside naturally attracted the attention of the Fire Beasts and Fireball Rats inside the nest.

Faced with the sudden appearance of so many elves, they all craned their heads and watched with great curiosity.

The leader of the Fiery Beasts was naturally also watching the situation outside.

just.

But it was stunned when it saw Snorlax devouring everything as if it wanted to eat it all, Turtonator occasionally exhaling hot breath but becoming very docile at Xia Yan's glance, and other near-Elite Four level Pokémon.

This lineup...

So strong!

Even it felt a considerable threat from these elves.

The only saving grace was that Xia Yan didn't have any ill intentions towards them.

The leader of the Fiery Beasts thought to himself.

Actually, Xia Yan didn't care much about the elves he would sell for resources after leaving. Going hungry for a few meals wouldn't matter much, as long as he didn't starve to death.

The elves' powerful physiques were on full display at this moment.

He only pays a little attention to spirits that he can use.

For example, Snorlax, Mudstalker, and Turtlemon, which was "persuaded" not long ago.

Once the rest of the land left this alternate dimension, they sold what they needed to sell, traded for resources what they needed to trade for resources, or let their livestock roam freely.

As for the Pokémon that were captured and intended to be kept as pets, such as Abomasnow, Double Ice, and Sakura.

Long before they entered this alternate dimension to participate in the trial, they were placed in a forest not far from Tianguan Mountain outside Shenhe Town. With the Snow Fairy guarding them, the cherry blossoms supervising them, and a small piece of thousand-year-old ice that Xia Yan specially broke off, they were unwilling to leave that forest at all.

Pidgey and Potpot were also in that forest.

I made it a good habit to clean my backpack before entering the alternate dimension.

They were captured after entering Groudon's alternate dimension.

For example, salamanders and fire lizards can be released in batches, and they can find food and solve their food problems in this fire-energy-rich environment.

Mudshoe horses are naturally very resilient and only need to be released to graze every few days.

Houndoom and Incineroar were only captured today. Even if they don't eat after leaving the alternate dimension, there won't be any problems. Occasionally throwing some Pokémon food into their Poké Balls will be enough to sustain them.

The same applies to creatures like Excadrill, Daruma, Hoshino Ryuzaki's Sandstorm Team, and Onix.

The rest of the Pokémon confiscated from Team Magma...

Sorry, Xia Yan didn't confiscate any Pokémon; he gave them all to Coffin and the others.

These elves had all seen his appearance. Although the chances of being tracked down were slim, Xia Yan didn't want to take the risk.

So even though he has a lot of Pokémon, he only really has a few that he's responsible for feeding.

The four main Pokémon are Snorlax (a gluttonous Pokémon), Sakura (a Pokémon that eats very little), Sharpedo, Tyranitar, Mudstalker, and Flygon. The Pokémon that need to be kept in hand are Turtonator, Machoke, and the Noivern couple.

And the perpetually hidden Dorombalut.

Now he rarely even shows up for meals, only appearing when Xia Yan needs him.

correct.

The newly acquired Flame Centipede is an example of the most resilient insect-type Pokémon. It could probably survive for ten days to half a month without any major problems.

The advantage of catching wild Pokémon is that... going hungry for a few meals doesn't really have much of an impact.

Otherwise, for organizations like the Hunter's Guild that engage in large-scale captures, the cost of raising Pokémon alone would be enormous.

If the sprites remain unsold for a long time, the losses will be even greater.

Ultimately, the only things that really put pressure on him regarding his diet were Snorlax and Dragapult; the rest were minor issues.

Make sure the elves have enough food too.

The enticing aroma of the Energy Cubes undoubtedly caught the attention of the Beastmen, including the little Flame Monkey who was chatting with Togekiss.

"Chocolate!"

Tokigu then realized what was happening and pulled Chimchar to go eat.

It understood why Xia Yan had so "blatantly" released all the food.

Having followed Xia Yan for a long time, even the "simple-minded" Pokkigu had come to understand his old tricks.

Even though the method is old, it works.

Under Tokigu's forceful pulling, Chimchar finally "gave in".

Togekiss also got a bit of a feel for Chimchar's personality.

To summarize it in its own words, it can be said that...

They're obsessed with saving face.

Just like before.

Cyndaquil invited Infernape to play, but Infernape declined due to the strange looks and subtle rejection from the other Cyndaquil.

If we go by Pokkiku's personality...

reject?

It's impossible to refuse in this lifetime. Let's play together. As long as it doesn't feel awkward, then it's others who will feel awkward.

That's why Togekiss needs to be popular among Pokémon; it's one of the reasons it can be called a "social butterfly."

finally.

At Togekiss's repeated requests, the little Chimchar followed it to Xia Yan.

This was also Xia Yan's first close encounter with the little fire monkey.

"yours."

Xia Yan smiled and handed the energy cube to Pokémon, patting its little head as he did so.

Pokkigu let out a shout and sat down on the ground, starting to stuff one after another into his mouth.

Then he looked at the little fire monkey that was holding its head high and pretending to be indifferent.

Its occasional glances at Xia Yan's energy cube betrayed its true thoughts.

For wild elves, energy cubes are an extremely delicious and nutritious food, and few can resist their temptation.

"I didn't prepare any good fire-type spirit energy cubes. This is a mid-level fire-type energy cube. Just make do with it."
