Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The dragon-headed groundhog nodded and easily cleaved through the already fragile rock layer, slowly digging downwards.

Dorambaruto cast a puzzled look at Xia Yan's strange actions.

Xia Yan didn't explain anything, but just stared intently at the place that Excadrill had dug, his superpower extending down along the tunnel Excadrill had dug.

As rock fragments flew out bit by bit from the burrow dug by the dragon-headed ground squirrel, Xia Yan crossed his arms and waited silently.

"Click—"

Xia Yan's eyes lit up at the extremely faint sound.

found it.

"Bring it up."

Soon, the dragon-headed ground squirrel poked its head out, dragging a dark, oval-shaped object in its hand.

"Baruya?"

Upon seeing this, Doronbaruto recognized it immediately; it was a...

Elf Egg!

It's just a dead egg.

Or rather, it's a... fossil egg.

Xia Yan carefully took the fossil egg from the dragon-headed ground squirrel's hand.

I thoroughly inspected it from top to bottom.

It was undamaged, and the eggshell was intact. This was the only Pokémon egg that was relatively well-preserved after Excadrill went down into the water.

After entering the interior of this extinct volcano and observing traces of Volcarona and Burning Bugs, he followed these relics to search for the traces of Volcarona and Volcarona's activities and the places where they placed the Pokémon eggs.

As we saw from the Breloom group we encountered not long ago, wild Pokémon take good care of their eggs, placing them in a fixed and safe location.

So he wanted to see if he could find a Volcarona's fairy egg, even if it was already dead and had become a fossil.

Fortunately, he found the elf egg that had turned into a fossil.

Carrying the fossilized egg, it approached the Volcano Moth.

Under its gaze, Xia Yan solemnly said, "I can revive it."

Actually, even if they couldn't find the fossil egg, Xia Yan could have said that he could have taken Volcarona out to search for the Burning Bugs and Volcarona living in the Pokémon world.

But now that we've found it, we can skip that step.

After all, neither Burning Bug nor Volcarona are very common Pokémon.

Moreover, he already has a fossil of Loron Mesia that needs to be resurrected, so having one more or one less won't make a difference.

"Baruya—"

Dorombalut echoed this sentiment at the opportune moment.

He indicated that he also had a member of his clan who needed to be resurrected, and that Xia Yan could do it.

Only now did a glimmer of hope finally appear in the eyes of the fire moth—the hope of survival.

Even if it's just a tiny bit.

But it was also a lifeline.

Only when they sensed that the Volcano's faint life force had finally stopped fading did Xia Yan and Dorambaruto breathe a long sigh of relief.

Finally.

No materials or effort were wasted.

The fire moth slowly closed its eyes.

“Baria”.

It's too tired.

It fell into a deep sleep.

The fire moth slowly curled its wings and arched its body, drawing out numerous threads from its body. In the blink of an eye, the fire moth had wrapped itself into a cocoon once more.

Looking at the fire moth that had turned into a white cocoon, and then at the fossilized egg in his hand.

Xia Yan's lips twitched.

"So... after all that effort, all you got in the end was an 'incubator' for Pokémon eggs?"

The cocoon exudes warmth.

Although the Volcano Moth is forced into a deep sleep of unknown duration due to the massive loss of its life energy, its special effects remain.

It seems... for now, its only function is to help hatch Pokémon eggs?

Xia Yan looked at Doronbalut.

Dorombalto held his head high, practically whistling.

Fortunately, there's still one fossil egg left, so we can try our luck.

Chapter 100 The Tacit Understanding with Ferry

Step out of the extinct volcano.

Xia Yan held a quiet Poké Ball in one hand and an even quieter fossil egg in the other, with a sense of loss about him.

He didn't know whether he had made a profit or a loss in this round.

I feel like I've made a profit, but then again, I don't feel like I've actually made that much.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Never mind, let's just consider it a good deed."

"Baruya—"

Dorombalto's slightly embarrassed voice rang out behind Xia Yan.

It didn't know that the fire moth would turn into a cocoon again and fall into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, Volcarona was sensible enough not to engulf the Primal Groudon carapace fragments that Xia Yan had painstakingly acquired.

Otherwise, Xia Yan might have to forcefully break free from his cocoon.

However, it wasn't entirely without any gains.

At least, Xia Yan could clearly sense that his relationship with Dorombarut had become closer.

enough.

If that fossilized egg can really be brought to life, then it'll be a huge win!

When we emerged from the volcano, the sky had brightened again.

He stretched out a long yawn, his body making a crackling sound.

After entering this alternate dimension, I always felt that each day was so long, and so many things happened every day.

"That's about it for now. Let's go back and wait for the Alliance to enter, then end this trial. I'm really tired," Xia Yan said wearily, shaking his head.

Both physical and mental exhaustion.

His spirits should all be similar.

If a string is stretched too tight, it will snap; it's time to loosen it.

Throw out a Poké Ball to summon an Ancient Giant Flygon, step on it, and fly towards the territory of the Apexisk.

Finally, I found a thigh.

Xia Yan can finally enjoy the comfortable life of relying on powerful figures.

Although there are only a few days left.

...

...

The Forest of Overgrown Monkeys.

Xia Yan landed far away, summoned Kadjara, and teleported back to where they had been staying.

Upon appearance.

Suddenly, I sensed that the atmosphere had become a little heavy.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I just feel like something's not quite right.

Crossing, Kona, Cuckoo...

As Xia Yan's gaze moved, he quickly noticed the presence of others.

Cynthia!

Dawu!

They all saw Xia Yan suddenly appear.

They came to greet them.

When did you arrive?

Xia Yan remembered that when he left during the day, he had not seen the two of them or found any trace of them.

"I saw the marks you left behind and followed them all the way here," Daigo explained.

Cynthia nodded in agreement.

Xia Yan used to move forward in one direction every day and leave a mark. Although the probability of finding others was not high, the possibility of others finding him was still very high.

well.

All three legs were present.

"What about them?" Xia Yan pouted angrily.

Du leaned against a tree with a rather embarrassed expression, while Kona and Dujuan stood together, their faces full of resentment.
