Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

As required by the alliance, he did publish such a paper, and successfully gained a lot of support and praise, which once again caused a small stir on the researchers' forum.

But perhaps because they've seen so much, they're no longer so concerned about such "small" disturbances.

What he really wanted to know was when the things and resources that Sakuragi had promised to apply for would be delivered.

This also includes that group of supposedly excellent Ibrahimovic.

“I have some doubts,” Cynthia said again.

"You said."

Cynthia pondered for a moment, "You said last time that Glaceon's special attack ability is excellent. Although the 'Snow Cloak' ability is difficult to make good use of in my team, you suggested that I should not focus too much on Glaceon's ice-type abilities. Instead, I could try to increase its coverage, because it can also be effective in Psychic, Water, and even Bug types."

She gave a brief introduction, and Xia Yan roughly understood what she meant.

After organizing Xia Yan's thoughts, he countered, "Are you wondering why I advised others to specialize in Ice-type abilities, but suggested you focus more on Glaceon's overall strengths? Has my understanding of Glaceon deepened during this time?"

Before Cynthia could speak, Xia Yan gave her a deep look and gave his answer.

"Because you are Cynthia."

After saying that, he walked into the Pokémon Center.

Cynthia, who was standing still, was stunned.

Because she is Cynthia?

joke.

Xia Yan's paper is for most ordinary trainers. Can they compare to Cynthia?

Xia Yan was afraid of being beaten to death if he gave others the same advice as Cynthia, because most people couldn't do it, and there was a significant gap between them and Cynthia in terms of both ability and resources.

But what they can't do, Cynthia definitely can.

That's because her name is Cynthia, she's a future champion, and currently the face of young trainers in the Sinnoh region.

As she gradually understood the meaning behind Xia Yan's words, Cynthia slowly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile rarely seen on her face.

That's right, because her name is Cynthia!

This explanation is quite...

reasonable.

...

...

The visit of Wataru, Kona, Cynthia, and Tsubaki brought a significant impact to Natsuhiko's otherwise mundane, dull, but fulfilling days.

With only a few days left until the start of the "Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament," everyone is making their final preparations for the competition.

Adjusting the Pokémon's status, maintaining its aggressiveness, solidifying tactics, practicing tactics, etc...

This gave Xia Yan a preliminary understanding of their strength.

then.

During the few days they spent together, they realized that Xia Yan was actually a breeder, and a rather excellent one at that.

Not only can it create high-level energy blocks tailored to elves, but with good luck, it can even create super-grade energy blocks once or twice.

This is all thanks to Xia Yan's progress in superpowers during this period.

After Alakazam evolved, Xia Yan, who could fuse his psychic powers with Alakazam, benefited from it to some extent.

These benefits allowed him to make some progress in controlling his own superpowers.

Although his overall superpowers haven't increased much, for a superpowered individual like him, the precise control of his superpowers is more important. He doesn't need to use his superpowers to compete with or show off anything to others.

Besides making energy cubes, Xia Yan also has a unique skill in elf massage.

It can relieve the fatigue of the elves during training and battles.

This discovery surprised everyone.

They didn't need energy cubes; even the Pokémon of the people present, who ate the worst quality ones, were equipped with custom-made premium energy cubes, highlighting their wealth and extravagance.

However, Xia Yan's massage skills and techniques made them entrust their tired Pokémon to Xia Yan after their daily battles and training.

Xia Yan did not refuse.

because.......

He received a tiny "service fee".

Of course, this amount of money was just a small sum for them.

For Pokémon like Lance and Tsubaki, the resources consumed in training their Pokémon were entirely borne by their families before they officially reached the Gym Leader level.

They only need to be responsible for training the sprites, without worrying about resource consumption.

Even if they reach the level of the Pavilion Master, the Dragon Clan will continue to shoulder a portion of the responsibility.

Cynthia and Lorelei are similar. Cynthia has the support of the Sinnoh League, not to mention her grandmother, Professor Irisviel. Lorelei, on the other hand, has the Silver Academy covering most of her resource consumption because of her excellent grades.

Compared to them, Xia Yan's newly established elf ranch is incredibly poor.

So, if we don't take advantage of them, who will we take advantage of?

Anyway, they're happy with it.

Actually, Xia Yan wasn't particularly "poor." All the elves he had asked Joanna to help sell had already been sold, and the money had been deposited into his account.

With the more than 10 million League Coins he had saved up, he now had more than 40 million League Coins, enough to barely buy half a pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

However, if it's just for training a few of my own Pokémon, it's enough for a short time, maybe three or four months.

no way.

Although he was earning more resources, as the Pokémon grew stronger, their daily consumption also increased, especially after Alakazam evolved and became a Gym Leader, when all kinds of consumption increased exponentially.

Once Beedrill, Togekiss, and Saber all reach Gym Leader level, he'll probably have to go out and see if he can find some places to earn some extra money.

Although his elf ranch has been established, the number of elves is too small, and it is only in its initial stage. Many things are not yet on the right track. Right now, he is just putting money into it and rarely gets any returns.

This was only because he had unilaterally enclosed a piece of land without the alliance's consent; otherwise, his money would have shrunk by at least half.

But this is a long-term plan, and it can't be rushed.

Once things are on track, they will be able to produce resources steadily and continuously, making up for some of their consumption.

Raising elves is expensive.

But what's really expensive is raising Pokémon to a high standard, allowing them to reach even greater potential.

So he was really looking forward to when Sakuragi would send over the things he had applied for. Most of them were actually applied for by Xia Yan for his Elf Ranch, which could speed up the ranch's development.

At the same time, he also desperately wanted to become a gym leader so that the League could help him share some of the costs of training Pokémon.

However, a newly established dojo certainly doesn't earn as much as those dojos that have been around for decades, but it's still a decent income.

Everything still needs time to develop, and what Xia Yan lacks most right now is time.

After several days of intensive training, the "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition" is finally about to begin.

The group traveled from Random Town to the location of the tournament on a plane that Cynthia had requested.

Lily of the Valley Island.

Chapter 121 Black Spots

Lily Island is located in the sea to the east of the Sinnoh region, in the central area between Seaside City and the Sinnoh League headquarters.

It is an island that is not very large, but has very complete facilities. Some of the major events in the Sinnoh region are held on Lily Island.

The natural environment of Lily of the Valley is well preserved. From the air, you can see that a large area of ​​green vegetation covers the entire island, with a small mountain standing on it. All man-made buildings and facilities are located at the southern end of Lily of the Valley, close to the sea.

As the plane landed, Xia Yan and his group of five finally arrived in this now bustling island city.

Organizing a large-scale event is definitely not something that can be done overnight. It involves many steps, from the initial planning, review, promotion, registration, and the start of the competition.

However, the benefits of a major event are also obvious.

The island of Lily is now attracting a large number of travelers and trainers from all over the world, which has greatly boosted the island's economy.

Almost all the hotels, shops, and vendors on the island experienced an explosive growth in customers.

Walking down the bustling street, the little fire monkey perched on Xia Yan's shoulder looked around curiously, everything was new and exciting to it.

Lily of the Valley does not restrict Pokémon, as long as they do not violate the rules of Lily of the Valley.

After all, the Alliance police and even Officer Jenny, who can be seen everywhere, are not to be underestimated.

"So we don't need to register, right?" Xia Yan couldn't help but ask.

Looking at the main venue of this competition, the huge oval-shaped open arena with a long line of people waiting to register, Xia Yan couldn't help but shiver.

That's really an exaggeration.

Even though the league has made strict rules about which trainers can register to participate, the registration line still stretched from the competition venue all the way to the commercial street.

Judging from the sheer scale of the event, it's clear that the Sinnoh League has done a lot of publicity.

Of course, correspondingly, the Sinnoh League also made a lot of money during this competition.

"No need," Watari said with a smile.

Those of them who survived the interdimensional trial can directly participate in the group stage without having to register for any preliminary rounds or qualifying rounds, saving them a lot of trouble.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan silently breathed a sigh of relief.

The youth tournament alone has attracted so much attention; it's hard to imagine how lively the "Lily of the Valley Masters" tournament, which truly determines the future of a region, would be.

"Natsuhiko! Watari! Sirona! Kona!"

When Xia Yan and his group left the busiest commercial street and arrived at a relatively quiet residential area, Daigo, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, finally reunited with them.

Of course, Daigo's appearance couldn't prevent his little sidekick, Cuckoo, from appearing.

The group had gotten to know each other during the trials, and they quickly became familiar with each other again.

As for Xiaochun...

She didn't participate in the trial, so she signed up instead.
