Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Given the current chaotic state of the Hunter's Guild, they probably don't have much energy left to run around causing trouble.

Joanna's goal is to secure one of the top six seats in the Hunter's Guild, but her first task is to take one of the twenty seats. With her current strength, she is clearly not strong enough. The more chaotic the situation and the longer it lasts, the better her chances will be.

What Xia Yan wanted was information about the current internal situation of the Hunter's Guild, as well as a list of some of its members.

Joanna naturally wouldn't hand over the entire list, as most of the names were related to her competitors.

However, Xia Yan didn't care. He just wanted to find traces of Tom Ruoqi's activities in some minor details.

By the way.

Help Joanna eliminate several of her competitors.

If all goes well, Joanna should be able to rise to the top in this Hunter's Guild civil war and become the female hunter who dares to try to capture even legendary beasts, "Hunter J".

Xia Yan, who chooses to cooperate with her, will also gain many advantages, whether in selling or buying Pokémon.

even.

If Joanna truly keeps her word, Xia Yan might have a chance to sit in the Hunter Guild's "Supreme Council," which would undoubtedly allow him to better grasp Tom Lucci's whereabouts and her plans.

Becoming one of the top six seats in the Hunter Guild is definitely not Tom Rukki's ultimate goal.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to leave the alliance.

Although the prospective Elite Four are far inferior to the Elite Four, their status is still much higher than that of an ordinary gym leader.

If you persevere, it's not entirely impossible to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

She just wanted more.

“Indeed.” Joanna nodded, agreeing with Xia Yan’s words.

After speaking, Joanna hesitated slightly and tentatively asked, "You... can the person behind you help?"

Xia Yan looked at her with a teasing expression.

Behind him?

He has a hammer on his back!

She was referring to the teacher that Xia Yan had fabricated.

At the Snow Peak Temple, when Xia Yan led Regice and Drombruto to attack, Joanna was also present and witnessed Tom Ruchi being brutally beaten. Afterwards, she took the initiative to find Xia Yan, and after "testing" him, she confirmed her relationship with him.

That's why their relationship has become so delicate.

Xia Yan wasn't worried that Joanna would trace the Snow Peak Temple back to him.

In any case, he used a fake identity throughout all his interactions with the people from the Snow Peak Temple.

Furthermore, Xia Yan didn't think that Yu Yue and Keji from the Snow Peak Temple would tell Joanna anything about himself.

If they dared to do that, they would have to worry about whether they could withstand the wrath of a "veteran powerhouse".

Besides, even if Joanna had a few more lives, she wouldn't dare approach the Snow Peak Temple now.

At least, she wouldn't dare until her strength had fully matured.

Seeing Xia Yan looking at her like that, Joanna realized she was overthinking things.

"Well, that makes sense. If that old man intervenes, the guild's internal strife will probably end sooner in order to resist."

What is the best way to resolve internal strife?

An external threat has emerged that can only be resisted by uniting together.

"Good to know." Xia Yan composed himself. "Please help me convert these into cash as soon as possible; I'm short on cash lately."

Joanna smiled. "Don't worry, they're just some elves. The guild may be chaotic, but all sorts of channels are still there."

As she spoke, she threw out a Poké Ball, summoning her imposing Salamence.

He flipped over and leaped up, saying, "Three days at most. Actually, next time you could provide some more challenging Pokémon; I'd be more interested."

"Difficulty?" Xia Yan's expression was strange. He glanced at her and said indifferently, "There are certainly high-difficulty ones, but I'm afraid you won't dare to try them."

"Ha—there are elves that our Hunter's Guild dare not touch?"

Joanna felt that she and the entire Hunter's Guild were being looked down upon.

"You dare sell the spirits of the Four Heavenly Kings?" Xia Yan looked at her with a hint of sarcasm.

He also has Hoshino Ryuzaki's Sandstorm Team and a giant armored turtle-footed creature ready to make a move.

"The Four Heavenly Kings?"

Joanna was stunned.

After realizing what was happening, he patted the Salamence's neck and said, "Let's go."

Selling the Elite Four's Pokémon?

Are you kidding me?

Even when the Hunter Guild was at its peak, it would have considered this carefully, let alone now.

However, she was also a little surprised that Xia Yan actually wanted to sell the Elite Four's Pokémon. Just how bold did he have to reach out to one of the Elite Four?

Therefore, in her opinion, the one who wants to sell the elves is probably the "teacher" behind Xia Yan.

Little did they know that Xia Yan was only going to make a move against a Pokémon from the second or third tier of the Elite Four.

Watching Joanna flee as if her life depended on it, and the Salamence taking off at breakneck speed, Xia Yan curled his lip.

"It's boring."

Even Joanna didn't dare to touch them, so it's likely that the Sandstorm team and the Turtle-Foot Giant Armor will really rot in their hands.

"But Salamence is really cool, isn't it?"

"Baruya—" the manifested Doronbaluto said with a look of disdain.

What's so cool about that?

With a single blast of meteors, all talk of being cool or not becomes meaningless.

Xia Yan couldn't help but press his temple.

"That dream really had a big impact. Is it foreshadowing something for me?"

"Baruya?"

"No, let's go back."

Summoning Kadabra, I used Teleport to return to my room at the Pokémon Center in Random Town.

Chapter 109 Extorting the Alliance

The next day.

Xia Yan had hoped to sleep in for once, but he discovered that he had completely lost the ability to do so.

When the time comes, he will definitely wake up.

no way.

After waking up, Xia Yan couldn't fall back asleep.

I turned on my computer and started importing the data Joanna had sent me last night, while simultaneously creating a new profile for my Pokémon training.

Through his journeys to the Regigigas and Groudon dimensions, his Pokémon underwent significant changes.

To help them grow better, Xia Yan has a good habit of creating the most reasonable planning files.

Especially the little fire monkey.

As a newly joined Pokémon, its training plan is especially important.

Not only should we fully tap into its potential and plan the most suitable training program for it, but we should also ensure that it can be smoothly integrated into our team.

Now that Xia Yan's Pokémon system, tactics, and core have been basically determined, he can no longer train his Pokémon arbitrarily; they must meet the team's requirements and develop in the desired direction.

Although it may be troublesome now, as his strength increases, he will be able to benefit more from the cognitive advantage of building a team early and identifying the core players.

Doing these things is a very mentally taxing and tedious task, but Xia Yan enjoys it.

However, as strength increases, the planning for training Pokémon becomes more detailed, requiring consideration of more and more factors, making it more difficult to establish.

It cannot be accomplished overnight.

Just as he was making the file, a phone call came in.

He picked up his phone and saw that it was Sakuragi calling.

Without hesitation, I answered the phone.

"Mr. Sakuragi," Natsuhiko greeted politely.

"Xia Yan, where have you been these past few days? I couldn't get through to you on the phone." Sakuragi's tired voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan's heart stirred.

"Is there something urgent? About intimacy?"

To be honest, Xia Yan also felt a little embarrassed.

It was a research project co-authored by him and Sakuragi, but not only was all the work dumped on Sakuragi, he also received the same treatment.

I felt a little guilty.

"No, the experiment is progressing very smoothly. The several types of Pokémon that you asked me to arrange last time are all on track, and I believe the results will be available soon."

Sakuragi perked up instantly when the topic of research came up.

"What's that?"

Besides research, what else could make Sakuragi so anxious?

Then I heard a gasp from the other end of the phone, calming down as we talked about the experimental project.

"You haven't been on the researcher forum for a long time, have you?"

"Uh...yes."

"If it's convenient for you, you'd better open it and take a look now."
