Suggested development direction: ......

Speaking of which, Cynthia's Togepi is male, while Xia Yan's Togepi is female. He's made up his mind...

Let these two elves interact less in the future.

But looking at the sofa...

Togepi acted all bossy and authoritative, while Togepi looked like a little brother...

I guess he's overthinking it.

Xia Yan's Togekiss is still quite arrogant.

It is estimated that very few things can subdue it.

Cynthia's Togepi is not yet awakened as a Fairy-type, and its position and role in Cynthia's team are somewhat different from those of Togepi in Xia Yan's team. Therefore, Xia Yan's suggested moveset for Cynthia will also be different.

Of course, if it evolves into Togekiss, then it will still be essentially the same.

Tianen Aircraft is unbeatable!

Cynthia took the information and suggestions written by Xia Yan and sincerely said, "Thank you."

Chapter 105 The Location Xia Yan Chosen

A wrecked ship speeding across the sea.

It's the Lava Team.

Having received advance notice of the arrival of Alliance reinforcements from Old Bill, Crimson Pine made a decisive choice: abandoning some of the Lava Team members who were unable to return from the alternate dimension, and managed to break through the gap before the Alliance reinforcements completely surrounded them, thus successfully retreating.

Regardless of the circumstances, Team Lava's losses this time were absolutely enormous, even to the point of crippling them.

One of the top officers alone was lost, and many officers and elite captains were also lost, not to mention the ordinary members. Those who were sent into the alternate dimension were the more capable members.

It's fair to say that Team Lava suffered a huge loss in terms of personnel this time.

However, it doesn't come to that.

The two powerful figures invited, capable of delaying the Four Heavenly Kings, came at a great cost.

Even with years of accumulated experience, the Lava Team was still struggling to keep up with such a drain on their resources.

the most important is.

The campfire, which collected fragments of the original Groudon's shell, failed to bring anything out of the alternate dimension, making Team Magma's series of actions seem like a waste of time.

just.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Chi Yansong's clothes were somewhat disheveled, but his eyes behind his glasses were very bright.

In his hands, which were clasped behind his back, he held a dark red fragment about the size of a thumb.

Fragments of the original Groudon's shell!

Everyone else thought he had failed, but in his eyes, he had succeeded.

As he rubbed his fingertips along the uneven texture of the broken pieces, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"That's interesting..."

...

...

Shenhe Town.

"Aren't you going to stay a couple more days?" Cynthia asked hesitantly, looking at Xia Yan who had rested for a night and whose spirits had completely recovered.

Xia Yan glanced at the sun that was about to be directly overhead and said with a smile, "I'm going to Suiyi Town, which isn't far from Shenhe Town. You can come find me anytime if you need anything. I'll probably be staying there for a while."

Suiyi Town is located at the foot of the mountain east of Tianguan Mountain, not far from Shenhe Town. With the flying speed of the Cynthia Pokémon, it should take at most one or two hours to arrive.

From this perspective, they could even be considered neighbors.

That's right.

Xia Yan's first target was Suiyi Town, a ranch town located at the foot of Tianguan Mountain.

God and Town is also good, but most of the residents there are relatives of Cynthia, and the population is too small, making development too difficult due to geographical limitations.

Furthermore, given the historical significance of Kale Town in the Sinnoh region, it's estimated that the Sinnoh League would not agree to Xia Yan's request to establish a gym in Kale Town.

But Suiyi Town is different.

It was originally a gradually declining ranch-type town, but it still retains enough infrastructure, such as the Pokémon Center and the League Shop. However, its economy is not very developed, but it has the advantage of a large area and great potential for growth.

Most importantly, both Shenhe Town and Suiyi Town are close to Tianguan Mountain.

Mount Tianguan represents abundant resources, including both natural resources and spirit resources. These can attract many tourists and increase the economic income of Suiyi Town, provided that certain changes are made to bring something more attractive.

Xia Yan already had some plans for this, and if handled properly, it could cause Suiyi Town's popularity to surge in a short period of time.

Furthermore, Random Town also houses the largest breeding center in the entire Sinnoh region, which is also a direction worth pursuing.

Having visited Suiyi Town, Xia Yan also had a preliminary understanding of the town.

It's no exaggeration to say that in the entire Sinnoh region, there is probably no place more suitable for him to settle down and develop than Random Town.

Of course, all of this is predicated on Xia Yan first gaining the approval of the Sinnoh League and successfully passing the Gym Leader test to become qualified to establish his own Gym.

The "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition" that followed was one of the paths that gave him the opportunity to be assessed.

"Random Town?"

Upon hearing Xia Yan say that he would be staying in Casual Town for a while, Cynthia nodded slightly.

It is indeed not far from the town of God.

The breeding center in Random Town is very famous, and Cynthia often goes there to buy food for Pokémon or temporarily foster them.

"Correct."

“Then… I’ll come find you after I finish the first phase of training, and then you can take a look at Glaceon and Togepi to see if there’s anything that needs improvement,” Cynthia said.

As things stand, no one in the entire Pokémon world has more authority on Glaceon than Xia Yan.

"no problem."

Anyway, Wataru said he would come after he finished his work, so one more Cynthia wouldn't make a difference.

After saying that, Xia Yan summoned the ancient giant dragonfly, stepped onto its back, and waved to Cynthia.

"Then I'll be going now."

Under Cynthia's watchful eye, Xia Yan rode the ancient giant dragonfly swiftly away, descending along the Tianguan Mountain range. After passing through a dense fog area, he arrived once again outside the town of Shenhe.

Winter had just passed, the ice and snow were gradually melting, the vegetation was sprouting green buds, and a vibrant agricultural town appeared before him.

Compared to my last visit, Suiyi Town now seems much more vibrant.

Xia Yan did not go directly into Suiyi Town.

Instead, it stopped at the foot of Tianguan Mountain, at the junction of Suiyi Town.

A place he had considered beforehand.

The lush vegetation, because this is the eastern side of Tianguan Mountain, provides much more sunlight than the western side, making both the vegetation and wild creatures more active.

Surrounded on three sides by rugged rock formations, the area in the middle is a small, low-lying area with very dense vegetation. Few people come here, so there are many wild elves, which also makes the land very fertile.

Suiyi Town is already remote and sparsely populated, and this place is even less frequented by the residents of Suiyi Town. It is estimated that no more than a handful of people would come here in a year.

Xia Yan took out a large number of Poké Balls.

The number of spirits he carried was already quite large, and he needed to find a place to put them; otherwise, managing them every day would consume a lot of time and resources.

Regardless of whether the Sinnoh League approves his application in the end, this place would be quite good even as a temporary storage location.

The Snow Fairy family was the first to be summoned.

He also retrieved all the spirits that had been stored in the forest of God and Town.

Xia Yan arranged for the Snow Fairy and her three Snow Children to live on the side closest to Mount Tianguan, and placed a piece of "Millennial Ice" there. After a few days of settling, this place would be transformed into the most suitable environment for them to live in.

Furthermore, the "Millennium Ice" exists, allowing ice-type spirits like Blizzard King and Double Ice to live in the same area.

After spending some time together in the forest of God and Town, the Snow Fairy, Blizzard King, and Double Ice Spirit have become quite familiar with each other, so there's no need to worry about any conflicts arising.

With the placement of these ice-type Pokémon, Xia Yan, based on his own plan and the environmental requirements of different Pokémon, began to settle the Pokémon he had brought with him one by one.

Chapter 106 Changes in the Pokémon Egg

period.

Xia Yan made a special trip to the forest outside Binhai City to bring over the Queen Shining Bee, who had a special fondness for Beedrills, as well as the swarm of three bees, and settled them in the forest as well.

Along with them are Sakura and Sakura Treasure, a group of natural-born forest "caretakers".

With little creatures like Sakura and Sakura-bo, who are naturally inclined to help build up the forest and make it more lush, Xia Yan doesn't need to worry about a sudden influx of a large number of Pokémon causing damage to the forest environment.

Furthermore, once Xia Yan truly obtains the title of Gym Leader and confirms the location of Random Town, he will even set aside a special area here to plant various kinds of trees and fruits.

Many tree fruits have relatively high requirements for their growing environment.

The presence of cherry blossoms and cherry blossom babies can, to some extent, reduce the growth requirements of these tree fruits.

Whether for making energy cubes for himself or for selling them in the future, the resources required to grow tree fruits are very small. The only requirement is to have a good understanding of the growth habits of various tree fruits and to have time to take care of them. Xia Yan has all of these.

Therefore, it's a business where you can always make money.

After settling the Queen Bee and Sakura, Xia Yan arrived at a place in the southernmost part of the area where the vegetation was relatively sparse and the rocks were more densely distributed.

it's here.

Placing Fire-type Pokémon, Rock-type, and Ground-type Pokémon is the most suitable option.

People like the heavy mud-bearer and the Heruka tribe could be settled here.

Other individual Pokémon, such as Excadrill, Darmanitan, and Onix, can also be placed here.

If Xia Yan wants to plant berries later, Excadrill will be a pretty good land clearing Pokémon, and it can also loosen the soil from time to time, which is one of the reasons why Xia Yan chose to keep it.
