Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"The young lady's spirits... all came to her on their own. And quite a few of them came. The young lady selected a few from them. They obeyed her commands without question, but there was little interaction between them, and they were more like superiors and subordinates."

Xia Yan: "..."

He stared blankly at Cattleya.

So, as a superhuman with extraordinary abilities, is he really that popular among psychic-type Pokémon?

They come to our door in droves, and even pick out a few?

Do whatever you want?

Is Nazja like that too?

Xia Yan finally realized just how vast the gap in talent between people can be.

He smacked his lips, then nodded somewhat stiffly, "Understood."

He then added, "One last question: why did you suddenly decide to increase your affinity with the elf?"

Cattleya gently brushed her long hair aside and replied with an air of nobility, "Because I want to end the battle more gracefully."

Xia Yan remembered.

In the original work, there was actually a public demonstration battle between Gadria and Cynthia, in which her Gothic form fought against Cynthia's Garchomp.

The two eventually tied. Although there was a ten-minute time limit, Cynthia had promised before the match that she would go all out.

Being able to withstand Cynthia's ace Garchomp at full power for ten minutes is quite a powerful ability, and the Elite Four truly deserve their title.

After the battle, Cynthia praised Gadriya's progress, but Gadriya said that she was still far from perfect and that her ultimate goal was to achieve victory gracefully.

Therefore, "winning with elegance" is Cattleya's goal.

But this cannot be achieved simply by the elves being obedient.

Although psychics can compensate for a lack of teamwork to some extent through telepathy, the more powerful a trainer is, the more important the teamwork between the trainer and their Pokémon becomes.

Otherwise, this world would have long been ruled by people with superpowers.

“I can try to offer some help, but I can’t guarantee how effective it will be. Ultimately, it depends on your attitude, Miss Cattleya, and your elf’s attitude.”

Moreover, it's impossible to do it in such a short time during this competition. I would suggest trying it after the competition," Xia Yan said solemnly.

These things need to be discussed beforehand, otherwise Cattleya might lose control and go berserk if she's unhappy...

It seems like Gadalia has gone berserk, so Shi Lan will have to run away too, right?

However, that was after she became one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and Shi Lan should still be able to restrain her now.

“Okay, Shi Lan told me before that we’ll come find you after the competition ends and when you have time.” Gadria had no objection to this.

Xia Yan nodded.

There are actually many ways to increase the bond between a trainer and a trainer; it all depends on how much effort Caitalia is willing to put in.

"That......"

What about his compensation?

Before Xia Yan could even speak, a gentle yet incredibly powerful superpower swept towards him.

So powerful that Xia Yan felt like a small boat on a vast ocean.

“Follow this frequency.” Cattleya’s voice echoed in Xia Yan’s mind.

Xia Yan immediately focused his mind and tried to control his superpower frequency to be the same as Cattleya's.

"Your self-control is acceptable," Cattleya added a compliment.

Is passing a good grade?

But Xia Yan had no way to reply and could only grit his teeth and persevere.

A long time passed.

Xia Yan's forehead was covered in sweat, his back was soaked, and his face was somewhat pale.

Cattleya, however, acted as if nothing had happened, taking another small sip of her coffee.

"Try again."

The voice echoed in Xia Yan's mind again.

Xia Yan took a deep breath and controlled the frequency of his superpower to be the same as that that Cattleya had concealed before.

"This is......"

His voice also echoed in Cattleya's mind.

Telepathy!

It turns out that telepathy is actually just a brainwave at a certain frequency that is simulated using superpowers, which is why telepathic communication can be extremely fast.

But...

We can talk about the principles, that's much better than this brute force approach...

Xia Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The difference in superpowers is truly vast.

Xia Yan's current superpowers are comparable to those of a senior superpowered Pokémon, but in front of Gadria, he still feels like a child.

"You've already tried fusing your psychic power with a psychic-type Pokémon, haven't you?" Gadriya suddenly asked.

"Ah."

"I don't know any other ways to enhance superpowers, and I've never enhanced my superpowers."

Ruwen, do people say it?

Cattleya continued speaking.

"But I know the most straightforward and effective method, which involves a slight risk, but since your psychic power has already been fused with a psychic-type Pokémon, the risk is relatively small."

"Danger?"

"Correct."

"What method?"

The two communicated directly through telepathy, while Shi Lan stood by with a smile, completely unaware of what they were exchanging.

"Have your spirit use its superpowers to suppress your superpowers. The more it suppresses them, the better the effect." Gadriya didn't hold back either.

oppression?

So simple?

But the simpler the method, the more dangerous it is.

Are you sure... there won't be any problems?

Xia Yan felt that this was so unreliable, like it could turn someone into an idiot if things went wrong.

"There might be a little danger, but as long as you control it well, it's fine. Besides, you've already fused your psychic powers with a psychic-type Pokémon, so you're familiar with each other enough that the danger isn't great."

Cattleya was very certain.

"Have you used it?"

"Yes, I often train my Pokémon this way."

Xia Yan: "..."

Therefore, Gadria uses her psychic powers to train her psychic-type Pokémon.

However, Xia Yan needs Alakazam's psychic powers to train himself.

The more I think about it, the less reliable it seems.

Can an elf's endurance be the same as a human's?

"If you don't believe me, I can try it for you."

Cattleya frowned slightly, sensing that Xia Yan was doubting her abilities.

"No, no, no, never mind, I'll try it slowly when I get back."

Xia Yan resolutely refused.

Just kidding, when he was learning about telepathy just now, he felt like he could be crushed by superpowers.

This is under the condition that Gadriya cannot fully unleash her power in order to prevent it from going out of control; it's hard to imagine what it would be like if she went out of control.

No wonder the Alliance agreed to let Shi Lan, a dignified leader of the Battle Frontier, become Cattleya's steward. She must be a key person to be protected.

After exchanging contact information with Shi Lan, Xia Yan left.

Regardless of whether Cattleya's method works or not, at least he has learned the "telepathy" that he had long coveted.

The learning process itself wasn't very enjoyable.

However, Xia Yan actually agreed with some of the methods that Gadriya mentioned.

His recent boost to his superpowers was due to the fragments of memories remaining on the Death Tablet.

It may seem like a test of willpower to enhance superpowers, but isn't it also a form of mental oppression?

Now that his superpowers are getting stronger and he's becoming more familiar with the memories and fragments left on the Death Plate, the improvement of his superpowers has slowed down considerably.

Perhaps, Cattleya's method will become a new direction for him.

Chapter 134 Xia Yan, I'm fired up!

The next day.

The Lily of the Valley Youth Competition has finally entered its most intense phase.

this day.

It's a knockout round where the top 16 teams are narrowed down to the top 8. The remaining players are all top talents among the younger generation from their respective regions.

Xia Yan felt immense pressure just from the name of his opponent today.

He even considered the possibility of his defeat.
