Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Especially Adek.

As the person who brought them to the Unova region, Adek knew her situation best.

"How is it?" Adek asked.

Kikuko shook her head. "I don't know."

"That......"

“I can’t force my way in; it would cause irreversible trauma to that girl. I’m sure you understand that.” Kikuko looked at Adek.

With Kikuko's strength and the "Ghost Legion," she could naturally break through the superpower that Cattleya unconsciously released.

However, the cost is that Cattleya may suffer damage.

Given how much the United States Alliance values ​​her, minor injuries are manageable, but if Cattleya were destroyed...

That would likely strain the relationship between the Kanto Alliance and the United States Alliance.

All Kikuko can do now is minimize the potential for things to get out of control and the level of danger.

"But are we just going to stand by and watch?"

Kikuko can't be forced, and neither can these people.

Upon hearing this, Kikuko glanced at the Psychic Ball enveloped by a Ghost-type Pokémon and slowly raised the corners of her mouth. "Don't worry, didn't two people go in?"

Kikuno's expression turned grim when this was mentioned.

Xia Yan and Shirona actually went inside.

These two are now considered treasures of the Sinnoh region.

With so many young trainers from six regions, Xia Yan has already secured a spot in the top four, and Cynthia's victory over Cattleya is practically a foregone conclusion.

Two of the four finalists are from Sinnoh!

This is not to say that the young trainers from other regions are not good enough; the prestige of this competition is evident to all.

This further illustrates the value of the two individuals.

It's no exaggeration to say that Kikuno already considers the two of them to be the future pillars of the Sinnoh League.

It's not a pillar, it's a main beam!

That means they at least have the potential to reach the level of the Four Heavenly Kings.

But now, they've stepped into Cattleya's berserk superpowers, something even she finds a bit troublesome.

What if something really happens?

If the Unova League can go crazy, why can't we, the Sinnoh League, do the same?

Kikuno opened her mouth.

I was just about to tell Kikuko that if things get completely out of control, please bring Natsuhiko and Cynthia out with you.

Before she could say anything, Kikuko said confidently, "Don't worry, since they went in, they must have some confidence."

"Why?" asked Hoshino Ryuichi.

Kikuko chuckled softly, glancing discreetly at the Gastly darting across the "black curtain," and said, "I haven't seen that kid do anything he's not sure about."

This statement left the group somewhat puzzled.

But Kikuko's next sentence took them somewhat by surprise.

"Xia Yan is my disciple."

Kikuko had disciples?

joke!

So everyone's first reaction was to look at Kikuno.

In their view, Kikuko was trying to steal him away.

Xia Yan is from the Kanto region and has not yet settled in Sinnoh. His participation in this Sinnoh competition is more likely due to an invitation from Cynthia.

Kikuko's decision to take Natsuhiko as her disciple was clearly intended to bring this dark horse of the competition back to Kanto.

just.

Everyone noticed that Kikuno's expression was calm, as if he was not surprised by it.

Kikuno knows?

Kikuno certainly knew.

If Xia Yan, as Kiku's disciple, wants to establish himself in Sinnoh, then he naturally needs to let the people of Sinnoh know beforehand, otherwise wouldn't that really be considered stealing someone?

Kikuko agreed to help Natsuhiko become a gym leader because she had already spoken to Kikuno about it.

Kikuno's current role in the Sinnoh League includes monitoring and evaluating the Gym Leaders in various towns to ensure they are qualified in all aspects.

So, if you're looking to establish a dojo, she's the right person to contact.

However, after hearing Kikuko's words, Kikuno gradually calmed down.

Right.

If Xia Yan were in any danger, Kikuko, as his teacher, would be the first to be anxious.

Suddenly.

Kikuko's expression shifted as she looked at the "black curtain."

"It seems the problem has been resolved smoothly."

The words fell.

The "cover-up" quickly faded away.

Then I saw it.

Shi Lan, the housekeeper, carried the unconscious Cattleya in her arms, with Miss Goth following closely behind.

Shi Lan smiled and said to Xia Yan and Xi Lunna, "Thank you both for your help. I, Shi Lan, and Miss owe you a favor. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me or come to the Battle Castle to find us."

Xia Yan looked exhausted and had no energy left to greet Shi Lan.

While supporting Xia Yan's arm, Cynthia smiled at Shi Lan and said, "This is what we should do. I just hope that Sister Cattleya won't have such a heavy psychological burden afterward."

Shi Lan glanced at Cattleya in her arms with a complicated expression, then nodded, "Thank you for your kind words."

Then he noticed the four Heavenly Kings around him, politely nodded to them one by one, turned and walked towards the contestants' passage, leaving behind a sentence.

"Miss, you have forfeited."

However, the Heavenly Kings present were more concerned about another remark made by Shi Lan.

Does Shi Lan owe Xia Yan and Xi Lun Na a favor?

This is a favor from a Champion-level trainer!

In terms of status, Shi Lan might not be much lower than them.

The stronger one's strength, the more valuable one becomes: human relationships!

Chapter 148 Anything Can Be Found in Dreams

Xia Yan collapsed in the players' rest room, completely exhausted.

As for the explanation?

What a load of crap! His head is throbbing terribly, and he feels like insects are constantly gnawing at his mind and consciousness—all caused by his actions just now.

But it also confirmed one thing.

Something that Cattleya once said.

It turns out that you really can enhance your own superpowers by using the superpowers of others to suppress them.

Just now, he successfully made significant progress in his superpowers.

How did it do it?

In fact, it's quite simple: Xia Yan and Alakazam's psychic powers merged, piercing through Cattleya's out-of-control and wildly rampant psychic powers, and finally connecting with the "reason" deep within her heart.

Then, Cynthia relayed some of her words to Gadria, which gradually restored Gadria's consciousness and helped her escape from being out of control.

His superpowers were enhanced during that process.

Of course, it sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult to do.

Gadriya's superpowers were so strong that Xia Yan almost didn't dare to do it, fearing that she might unconsciously destroy his superpowers.

Why did we still do it in the end?

He discovered that although Cattleya's superpowers were very strong and she was also very irritable, precisely because of this, without the control of subjective consciousness, her cohesion was not strong.

So in the end, Xia Yan and Hu Di successfully broke through together.

He awakened Cattleya, but Xia Yan's superpowers were also under immense pressure.

Under such pressure, his superpowers were greatly enhanced.

However, the biggest benefit should be the favor that Shi Lan promised and the favor she owed.

Such favors from powerful individuals are still very valuable.

Looking at Cynthia sitting next to him, wanting to speak but hesitating and unsure whether to say it or not, he was clearly suffering from decision paralysis again.

A personality like Cynthia's is a typical example of a "people-pleasing" personality.

Therefore, Xia Yan took the initiative to admit it.

"I am a superhuman."

Upon hearing this, Cynthia visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

There's really nothing to hide.

Superpowered individuals are rare, but they do exist; it's just that Xia Yan subconsciously wanted to keep a few more trump cards up his sleeve.

Cynthia didn't say anything, but Lance and Lorelei next to her couldn't sit still any longer.
