Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Du grabbed his clothes and ripped them off, quickly returning to his original attire.

"I forgot to ask him how he got to the point where even the campfires valued him."

It was only then that Du belatedly realized what was happening.

Both of them were infiltrators, so how come he's just an ordinary member while Xia Yan has risen to the rank of elite captain and is even trying to become an officer?

After making up his mind, Watari decided to ask Xia Yan for advice after leaving.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, threw out a Poké Ball to summon Charizard, and quickly headed away in the direction Xia Yan pointed.

...

...

After seeing Ferry off, Xia Yan began to make his final preparations.

Although the main force is Dorambaru, the current situation is different from that in the Snow Peak Temple.

With only Dragapult, if the opponent were to send out one or two Pokémon to deal with him, Xia Yan couldn't possibly fight them with his bare hands. He wasn't Ash Ketchum, nor was he Team Rocket.

Therefore, he needs to ensure his own safety and have sufficient protection.

He changed out of a Lava Team suit, took out a black cloak he often wore in the black market, and put on a black market mask.

Then throw out a Poké Ball to summon several Pokémon.

With Turtonator, Noivern, Snorlax, and the stealthy Dragapult, they are quite a formidable force.

Xia Yan suddenly realized.

His non-main Pokémon, pieced together from various sources, seem capable of easily crushing an ordinary gym leader.

However, the growth ceiling of these Pokémon is already fixed, or rather, they have no potential to continue growing. Moreover, their tactics and battle rhythm are completely fixed. They may be very profitable in the short term, but in the long run, they will inevitably be surpassed by Beedrill and others.

This is one of the reasons why many people may seem very capable, but may remain at that level for their entire lives.

They focus too much on their immediate strength.

The choice between the present and the future is too easy.

Anyway, Xia Yan is handling everything.

Take out the energy cubes and various potions, energy supplements, etc., and give them a final touch-up.

Not long after.

The fire moths in the sky finally showed signs of change.

The light gradually dimmed, and the temperature it emitted also began to decrease noticeably.

"It's coming," Xia Yan said, looking up.

"Baruya".

Dorombalut slowly revealed his form.

Suddenly, a figure soared into the sky, riding a fire-breathing dragon. It was none other than Campfire, who had been waiting for a long time and couldn't sit still any longer. His brows were filled with barely suppressed excitement.

And after charging forward, it immediately engaged the exhausted Volcano Moth in battle.

It struck from the sky to the ground.

Scales and dust dotted the earth, and the raging fire spread like wildfire, instantly covering a large area and obscuring the view of everyone watching the battle.

Sensing the barely suppressed impulse of Dorambaruto beside him, Xia Yan said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, let's help!"

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Final Dance of the Fire Moth!

Step onto the Sonic Dragon.

After passing through layers of flames, we arrived at the very center of the battle between the Volcano Moth and the campfire.

As you can see, even the exhausted Volcarona did not fall into a significant disadvantage when fighting the Pokémon around the campfire.

But Campfire remained calm; her tactical approach and objectives were clear.

It's all about attrition warfare.

You don't need to defeat the Volcano, just wear it down, keep wearing it down until the Volcano can't hold on any longer.

If Xia Yan doesn't appear, or if Volcano doesn't unleash any stronger abilities, Campfire's decision might actually succeed.

Unfortunately...

At Dorambaruto's suggestion, Natsuhiko intervened in the battle!

"Dragon Balto, Dragon Dance".

Xia Yan stood on the back of the Noivern and spoke in a calm tone.

Then, the cloaked Dorambaruto suddenly appeared, the behemoth, which was four meters long, swaying its body with a peculiar rhythm, and its own abilities were quickly enhanced.

the other side.

Xia Yan's appearance immediately caught the attention of the campfire, who became wary of his sudden appearance, even though the sonic dragon at his feet didn't seem like much of a threat to the campfire.

But her expression changed instantly when Dorombalto appeared.

This dragon-type Pokémon, which she had never seen before, was incredibly strong!

It might even be a notch stronger than the fire moth in front of it.

This was something the campfire had never anticipated.

The League's top player has already been kept out, hasn't he?

Moreover, the way this person was hiding his head and tail didn't seem like something a Heavenly King should do, and this spirit was one she had never heard of before.

What are the league's hidden cards among these young trainers?

But why didn't it appear before?

Facing the campfire that filled him with doubt, Xia Yan did not hesitate at all.

After Dramberto finished Dragon Dance, he immediately commanded, "Quick Strike, Dragon Dive!"

"Baruya!"

With a low shout, Dorombalto shot out like lightning, covering a considerable distance in the blink of an eye.

Purple dragon-type energy surged wildly around him, covering his body and faintly forming the shape of a dragon.

Then, with a gentle flick of its tail, it swooped down from above, its ferocious power causing the campfire to change color.

"Fire-breathing camel, hold the line!"

A vibrant green energy shield appeared on the fire-breathing camel by the campfire. Facing the onslaught of Dralongaruto, the fire-breathing camel decisively took on the role of a meat shield.

just.

How could a mere fire-breathing camel stop Doronbaruto?

With several of the main Pokémon busy dealing with Volcarona, Campfire definitely wouldn't last long against the combined attack of two powerful Pokémon, Volcarona and Dragapult.

One is fine, but two will completely throw off balance.

boom! !

Camerupt's Protector shattered instantly, and it staggered backward. Draco's Dragon Dive, after shattering the Protector, still caused Camerupt to inevitably suffer the impact.

"Meteor shower".

Commanding Dorombalto doesn't require any extra skills or tactics; just go all out.

With such a large gap in strength, Xia Yan only needs to ensure his own safety and doesn't need to worry too much about the safety of Dorambaruto.

When Xia Yan was alone, he also had to worry that the campfire might send a few elves to hold off Dralongaruto and then come to deal with him directly.

But now it's not just Draco, there's also Volcarona. Having already provoked Volcarona's campfire, let alone drawing a Pokémon to deal with Xia Yan, she's barely able to defend against the attacks of Volcarona and Draco.

Roar! !

Draco unleashed a scorching breath brimming with dragon-type energy, aiming directly at the fire-breathing dragon hovering above the campfire.

Although Charizard narrowly avoided the attack with a quick turn.

But the meteor shower's attack had only just begun.

The fireball, enveloped in rich dragon-type energy and resembling magma, quickly disappeared into the low-lying clouds.

boom!!!

As the explosions spread, magma fireballs rained down from the sky, unleashing a wide-ranging, all-encompassing attack.

The campfire gritted its teeth.

Command the elves to use Guard to defend.

Although we managed to hold off this round, the next round won't be so easy.

But she still didn't give up, because she could clearly feel that the Volcano was dying!

Keep going, keep going, and maybe the fire moth will finally fall.

Even if it means sacrificing a few Pokémon, the price will be well worth it.

After glaring at Xia Yan with a murderous look, he stopped using attrition tactics and began to use a trade-off approach to accelerate the depletion of the Volcano.

Xia Yan and Dorombalto naturally noticed that Volcano was not in a good condition.

With no other option, they had to accelerate their offensive.

However, it must be said that although the campfire's strength is not very strong, its understanding of tactics is still up to standard. If it is determined to drag things out, even at the cost of its Pokémon, even Dragapult does not have many options for a while.

After all, even someone who's hanging themselves needs to catch their breath, and defeating a spirit takes time.

The campfire is a race against time, a gamble on whether she or the fire moth will give up first.

however.

One thing it didn't realize was...

This fire moth was not the fish she had placed on the cutting board.
