Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

But why did this change occur?

"When I used tooth scraps before, I didn't see this change because the energy contained in them wasn't enough?"

Xia Yan kept a close eye on the little Flame Monkey, not daring to miss any changes, while analyzing the situation.

Fortunately, because of the appearance of the Volcarona, the flames burning on the little Flame Monkey's body seemed insignificant compared to the Volcarona.

"Why don't other Pokémon experience the same changes? Is it because Chimchar ate some of the powder before and it was incorporated into its body? So when it came into contact with the same Fire-type energy, it triggered the energy in the stick?"

The reasons for the changes are certainly not that simple.

But the most fundamental reason is actually similar to what Xia Yan thought.

The little fire monkey's toothpick fragments weren't originally like that; who knows how much effort it took to grind them into the shape of toothpicks.

Just like how Yunjira accidentally absorbed the fragments of the Super Slate and integrated them into his superpowers.

The little chimpanzee also unconsciously incorporated the powder into its body.

This not only strengthened its body, but also brought about some special changes.

This is also why Xia Yan couldn't quite grasp the characteristics of Chimchar before.

Its characteristics are like "Iron Fist" but not quite "Iron Fist", but its fists are indeed harder than those of ordinary Chimchar, because the powder it unconsciously incorporates strengthens its body to some extent.

The sudden change didn't have any negative effects on the little Chimchar, except...

As the flames gradually subsided.

Xia Yan was stunned when he saw what the little fire monkey looked like.

He muttered to himself, "I think I might have caught a fake flashbang..."

The golden fire-type energy, the dark brown ground-type energy, and the fire-type energy inherent in Chimchar—this combination…

It just looks like a regular little fire monkey!

Oh no.

There are some changes, but the direction is a bit off. It seems to be moving closer to Groudon's direction, giving off a slight... Lycanroc Night Mode vibe.

Without careful observation, it's actually quite difficult to distinguish the differences.

It's alright.

Xia Yan had been a little worried that the Shiny Chimchar was too flashy and could easily attract unnecessary attention.

He was considering how to cover up the little fire monkey's color.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

Actually, there's not much difference between shiny Pokémon and regular Pokémon.

While the pink Infernape is cute, well, a pink Infernape...

cough.

What he was more concerned about was what changes would occur in the little Chimchar.

and also.

I looked up at the fire moth slowly rising into the sky in the distance.

What will the Vulcan moth, awakened from its slumber, bring to this alternate dimension?

Chapter 96 Don't think I won't recognize you just because you've taken off your cloak!

"Baruya".

Before Xia Yan could ask the little Chimchar how it felt, what moves it knew, or what it had gained from the fragments, Dragapult suddenly called out to Xia Yan and then disappeared again.

Xia Yan's expression changed slightly upon hearing Dorombalto's words.

Someone's here?

And they approached very quickly.

An existence that even Dramberto takes seriously...

go?

No, it's too late!

It's uncertain whether the person coming has any means to counter superpowers and teleportation.

It's fine if you don't have it.

But if someone were to abruptly interrupt the teleportation, that would be too dangerous.

There wasn't time to think it through.

Xia Yan immediately put away all the Pokémon, including Chimchar.

He wrapped the fragment in his superpowers and put it in his backpack, but the little fire monkey's body color didn't change back.

The twin sword sheaths remained in the shadows to protect, along with the Blazing Turtle Beast that had been summoned earlier to resist the surging energy fluctuations of the Volcano.

When Blazing Turtlemon was first captured, the plan was actually to sell it after leaving.

As a Dragon-type Pokémon, and a near-Elite Four-level Pokémon at that, its value will be high, and it might be snapped up in a frenzy once it appears.

But after careful consideration, Xia Yan decided to keep it.

On the one hand, it's because it's really hard to sell a near-Elite tier Pokémon. You either have to participate in an auction, or you can only do so by participating in an auction. If you sell it directly to a Pokémon shop, although the price will definitely not be low, it certainly won't reach its true value.

But no matter which option you choose, it will definitely attract unnecessary attention.

If Hoshino Ryuzaki's grandfather, one of the Elite Four, were to investigate and follow the clues to discover that one of the people who participated in the trial with Hoshino Ryuzaki actually had a Pokémon at the near-Elite Four level, what would he think?

They'll probably have a serious talk with Xia Yan, better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

Don't underestimate the abilities of a veteran superstar.

On the other hand, Xia Yan considered that he had chosen to avoid or retreat when faced with magma environments on several occasions.

While TurtleBeast's ability to move on land or in the sea isn't ideal, it's probably the most suitable Pokémon for moving in lava.

The reason for not putting it away is to prevent hostile visitors from launching an attack without hesitation. Even against a Champion-level Pokémon, Blazemon's defense can withstand the attack for a period of time, allowing Xia Yan to react.

Soon, the Pokémon were all captured.

The being that Dorambaruto had mentioned, rapidly approaching this place, came into view.

A fire-breathing dragon speeding by.

On the back of the Charizard stood a woman dressed in Team Magma's special uniform, who was rather tall and had delicate features with purple bangs.

Groudon is the main person in charge of Team Magma's space exploration, the highest-ranking officer of Team Magma, and one of the subordinates that Red Pine relies on.

bonfire!

The campfire flying in the air noticed Xia Yan standing on the rocky mountain.

I gently patted the Charizard's neck and quickly fell from the sky.

It landed on the rocky mountain.

Under Xia Yan's gaze, Campfire stared at the Vulcan Moth still rising in the distance and walked to a short distance away from him.

Sensing the aura of the fire-breathing dragon by the campfire, Xia Yan slowly lowered his head, pulling down his hood, his expression shifting slightly.

He respectfully greeted, "Lord Bonfire."

As expected of Team Magma's top executive, this Charizard is... very strong!

When the Blazing Turtle saw the Charizard, its movements and expression became much more restrained.

"What's going on?" came the cold voice from the campfire.

It's like talking to a regular member of Team Lava.

"I don't know," Xia Yan replied, going along with her question.

At this moment, the campfire finally turned its head, its gaze sweeping over him before finally settling on the Blazing Turtle Beast beside him.

She raised her eyebrows slightly. "A regular member?"

Xia Yan lowered his head and remained silent, offering no response.

Although the League members who entered the alternate dimension this time were a group of young trainers, in Campfire's view they were just a bunch of "greenhorns" and had little chance of infiltrating Team Magma.

But Xia Yan's presence here, accompanied by a near-Elite Four level Pokémon, inevitably aroused her suspicion.

"Name?" the campfire asked.

"True me." Xia Yan responded.

The campfire nodded imperceptibly. "To whom do you belong?"

Xia Yan thought for a moment before saying, "Mountains and rivers."

Anyway, Shan Chuan has already been killed by him, so there's no way to prove it.

"Mountains and rivers..."

After carefully recalling the events, the campfire finally remembered that Shanchuan was a subordinate of Youhuo, one of her subordinates.

They're quite far apart.

I couldn't help but chuckle softly.

It's unclear whether they're laughing at the network of relationships or at Xia Yan's caution.

She glanced at him and said indifferently, "Hiding so far away may not be a good thing."

In her view, she came down here to avoid trouble, which is why she stayed in a place so far away from the Volcano Moth.

Xia Yan kept his head down and didn't say anything.

"Hmph." Campfire snorted and stepped onto the fire-breathing dragon's back again. "Come on."

After saying that, the fire-breathing dragon gently flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind that sent it soaring into the sky.

The issue of identity can only be clarified by investigating more people.

Xia Yan pursed his lips under the hood, knowing that the campfire hadn't left immediately, but was waiting for him.
