Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Team Galactic's goal is these two orbs. If they succeed in obtaining them, the Sun might actually try to summon these two divine beasts to destroy the world.

Xia Yan never expected that one of the white jade pearls would be hidden here.

“This is the ‘Dragon Sculpture.’ There’s a legend in our town that anyone who can gain the approval of the ‘Dragon Sculpture’ can take a dragon-type Pokémon that’s willing to leave with them,” Cynthia explained.

This was also the reason she brought Xia Yan here.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan looked at Cynthia with considerable surprise, "So, you want me to... give it a try?"

This place is full of Dragon-type Pokémon, and there are also so many pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

If he can gain recognition, it's no joke that Xia Yan is absolutely confident he can take away a dragon-type pseudo-legendary.

He has a lot of experience in this area.

Doronbaruto must know this all too well.

Cynthia nodded. "Consider it... a reward for helping me evolve Eevee into Glaceon."

Cynthia always remembered Xia Yan's help in helping her successfully evolve Eevee into Glaceon.

Furthermore, Xia Yan helped her with more than just Glaceon's evolution; he also provided training methods and advice for Glaceon, training advice for Togepi, and even tactical combinations for Rockruff.

These were all things that Shirona kept in mind; she felt she owed Xia Yan something.

Xia Yan clicked his tongue. "Isn't this reward... a bit too expensive?"

Cynthia smiled gently.

"The premise is that you can gain recognition."

Also.

Xia Yan suppressed the joy in his heart.

All his current happiness is fake. What if he fails to gain the approval of the so-called "Dragon Sculpture"? Wouldn't all his happiness be for nothing?

However, he also understood why Cynthia had sent him to Godwood Town after learning that he was going to choose Dragon as the gym's type.

If I could really gain recognition and take away a pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon...

Wouldn't that solve the problem of having the star Pokémon?

"What should I do?" Xia Yan asked.

“Just place your hand on this sculpture,” Cynthia said, pointing to the Palkia sculpture in front of her.

Palukia?

Xia Yan nodded.

I took a few steps forward.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the nameless aura emanating from this sculpture.

It was heavy and oppressive.

I don't know if this is a psychological effect or if the sculpture really possesses some kind of special power.

When I arrived at the Paluchia sculpture and looked at this almost one-to-one replica, even the scales on it were lifelike, I silently took a deep breath.

He slowly raised his hand.

Without using any superpowers, he simply placed his palm lightly on the sculpture.

There was no dazzling light, nor any unusual occurrences; all Xia Yan felt was a slight warmth emanating from the sculpture.

then.

And so it went, quietly and silently.

Xia Yan's feelings gradually shifted from initial excitement to apprehension, then to self-doubt and self-examination, until finally...

Cynthia blinked, "Does this mean... I haven't been accepted?"

Cynthia frowned slightly and crossed her arms.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Don't rush, let the sensation continue for a while longer."

When she touched the sculpture, it was only for a fleeting moment, but she clearly felt it...

next second.

A soft halo slowly shone from the once-silent white jade pearl.

Cynthia's eyes lit up. "They're here."

Then, the soft white light emanating from the white jade bead did not radiate outwards, but instead, under the constraint of some strange force, shone upon Xia Yan.

Followed by.

On the other side, the previously silent Dialga statue also emitted a faint halo, which merged with the aura emitted by the white jade pearl.

"Dialga?" Cynthia looked surprised as she watched the statue, which should have been silent, suddenly move.

Xia Yan suddenly felt a slight disturbance in his backpack.

"This is......"

Xia Yan seemed to have thought of something and quickly took out an incubator from his backpack.

The elf eggs, which should have been lying quietly in the incubator, were now swaying slightly under the white light.

Furthermore, the longer the white light exposure time, the greater the frequency and amplitude of the shaking.

the most important is.

Xia Yan noticed that the hatching time of the Pokémon egg displayed on the incubator was jumping at a very fast speed.

It looked as if it was about to be born.

This scene left Xia Yan completely bewildered.

Cynthia was also surprised.

She looked at the elf egg that Xia Yan had taken out with a look of surprise.

"Is this a Dragon-type Pokémon egg?"

She hadn't expected that Xia Yan was carrying a Dragon-type Pokémon egg.

and so.

During the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament, when Natsuhiko and Wataru battled, one of the six Pokémon they displayed was an egg. This wasn't because they were deliberately trying to annoy the other team; it was genuinely because of the egg.

As an excellent trainer and a fairly good breeder, Cynthia had seen many Dragon-type Pokémon and Dragon-type Pokémon eggs, and easily recognized that this Dragon-type Pokémon egg was extraordinary.

It is very active, and the dragon-type energy inside this dragon-type Pokémon egg is extremely concentrated.

It was a richness she had never seen before.

And now.

Bathed in the glow of the white jade pearl, the fairy egg looked as if it were about to hatch.

This was a situation that Cynthia had never expected, as it was something she had never encountered before.

and so.

So, Xia Yan has finally gained recognition?

Still haven't gained recognition?

But Xia Yan's attention is no longer on these issues.

The Pokémon egg I've been waiting for so long is finally going to hatch!

What kind of dragon-type spirit is inside?

The question that has been troubling Xia Yan will soon have an answer.

Having spent so many resources and effort to raise this elf that hasn't even been born yet, Xia Yan can be said to have devoted a great deal of heart and energy.

Regardless of what kind of spirits are inside.

Even a Red-faced Dragon, its potential should now be considered among the top in the Pokémon world.

But what if it really was a red-faced dragon...?

Xia Yan might even have suicidal thoughts.

His requirements weren't actually that high.

Any dragon-type Pokémon will do, as long as it's not a red-faced dragon.

Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are naturally the best, but as a second choice, things like Altaria, Flygon, Kingdra, Haxorus are all acceptable, or even Charizard.

Such unusual activity naturally attracted the attention of many dragon-type Pokémon in the vicinity.

at first.

They thought someone else had gained the sculpture's approval and wanted to see if this person was suitable to follow them and become their "dragon tamer".

It wasn't until we got closer that we realized it.

original.

It's an elf egg, and with the help of the two sculptures, it's about to hatch!

This is something to be happy about.

After all, dragon-type Pokémon are relatively difficult to breed, and their dragon eggs take a long time to hatch, which makes dragon-type Pokémon pay extra attention to the eggs of their offspring.

The dragon-type Pokémon here get along well regardless of their species or strength, so they treat all dragon eggs equally.

"Roar--!!"

Suddenly, a loud roar rang out.

The dragon-type Pokémon that had been watching quickly made way for them.

All I saw was...

A massive Garchomp, over two meters tall, with a cross-shaped scar across its eye, strode forward.

The other Dragon-type Pokémon seemed to be very wary of, or rather, in awe of, this Garchomp.

Cynthia's Garchomp saw it, its eyes lit up, and it immediately strode over.
