Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Now, Xia Yan has developed a new little habit every day: petting Eevee.

And you know what? After masturbating, I always feel pretty good.

"He's developing very well, that's strange..."

Put Eevee down.

Xia Yan didn't think much of it and turned to look at Latios, who was playing with several Pokémon.

Now that Latios has finished its infancy, it will soon be put into training.

"Little Chimchar, get off Latios, I'm going to do a simple test on it." Xia Yan smiled and waved.

"Cough!"

The little Chimchar stuck out its tongue, jumped off Latios, and quickly climbed onto Xia Yan's shoulder.

"Latios, let me see your abilities."

Latios is a legendary Pokémon, albeit a pseudo-legendary one. Considering all the resources invested in it, it's unlikely to be a disappointment. The question is how many surprises it will bring.

"Os!"

Latios nodded heavily.

Although it had never been trained or fought, it had been watching Beedrill and the others train for quite some time.

It immediately demonstrated to Xia Yan one by one the abilities it currently possessed.

finally.

Xia Yan created a simple profile card for Latios.

Pokémon: Latios

Sex: male

Type: Dragon + Psychic

Ability: Float

Strength assessment: Excellent

Moves mastered: Dragon Dance, Helping Hand, Recover, Psychic, Tailwind, Dragon Breath, Switcheroo, Holy Light, Healing Pulse, Scale Shot

With his exceptional strength, Latios was an extremely high starting point for someone who had just been born, saving Xia Yan a lot of unnecessary time.

The fact that he could have such strength right after finishing his infancy is probably largely due to the large amount of Dragon Crystals and Dragon Scales that Xia Yan invested.

Furthermore, according to Draco, Latios still possesses a considerable amount of pure Dragon-type energy, which it has not yet fully absorbed. However, it can accelerate its absorption through training and battles, leading to a rapid increase in its strength in the short term.

A rapid increase in strength is certainly a good thing, but it's not entirely a good thing either.

This will make Latios' already unstable foundation even more unstable, resulting in a period of slow progress after the end of its period of rapid power increase.

Therefore, to avoid this possible situation, Xia Yan will inevitably focus his training of Latios on laying a solid foundation.

Besides strength.

Latios doesn't have many moves available, but to be fair, each one is quite useful.

"Dragon Dance" represents Latios's Dragon-type talent. Although Latios is a Pokémon that is more good at special attacks, its physical attack ability may not be much weaker because of "Dragon Dance".

There's also the "Holy Light" move.

As a move exclusive to Latios, its power isn't particularly strong, but its additional effects are excellent. It has a considerable chance to lower the opponent's Special Defense, which is definitely a crucial move for Latios, whose main attack method is Special Attack.

Besides that, what surprised Xia Yan the most were actually the moves "Switch Field" and "Healing Wave".

With two moves, even if Latios is slightly weaker, he can quickly integrate into his team.

Furthermore, the "Switch Field" move allows Latios to be perfectly integrated into the core system that Xia Yan has now built.

After a period of training, experimentation, and reflection, Xia Yan gave his team composition centered around Alakazam a good name.

"Unlimited switching" system.

It involves using Alakazam's "Touch" and "Teleport" in combination with other moves, as well as the characteristics and move combinations of each Pokémon, such as "U-turn" and "Baton Pass".

This ensures that the elves always face the most deserving enemies during battles.

Whether it's having an elemental advantage that can cause considerable damage, or having an elemental resistance that can provide protection, it's all about dealing with the elemental weaknesses.

Clearly, Latios is perfectly suited to this system.

Not only does "Switch Field" allow Xia Yan to diversify his tactics, but "Healing Wave" can ensure the team's sustainability, and Alakazam's "Psychic Field" can also provide a significant boost to Latios, complementing each other.

even!

As Xia Yan stroked Latios's affectionately protruding head, his eyes gleamed as he gazed at the towering Mount Coronet in the distance. "We could even... try making Latios the second core point."

A dual-core lineup!

Based on Xia Yan's current knowledge and some limited information, it is estimated that a dual-core lineup is quite rare even among the current top four players in various regions of the league.

If he can perfectly construct a true dual-core lineup, it will undoubtedly mean that his ceiling will be raised once again!

Chapter 170 Unknown Totem!

Training time is over.

Xia Yan, accompanied by Togekiss, Chimchar, and a group of Eevee, once again came to inspect his gym.

Of course, there are also Latios and Doromecia, who have disappeared.

However, they cannot show themselves yet, so they can only do so secretly.

Fifteen days have passed.

The external structure of the dojo is already fully formed; the next step involves some adjustments to the internal structure and the depiction of some details.

Have to admit.

The construction team from Devon Company is really professional. They managed to complete such a large dojo in just over ten days.

I looked up.

There is a huge torii gate at the entrance, made entirely of stone, about seven or eight meters wide and less than twenty meters high. The top is carved with the brother and sister Latios and Latias.

This torii gate alone took several master sculptors from the construction team two days to complete, and it is absolutely lifelike.

According to Xia Yan's suggestion.

A dojo is essentially a facility that serves trainers. Since it's a service, it's important to make the entrance and signage look nice and leave a lasting impression so that people will help promote it themselves.

After passing the torii gate, there is a cobblestone path.

There was nothing on either side for the time being, just a layer of grass.

The path is about twenty meters long, and the middle area gives Xia Yan a lot of room to develop in the future.

If conditions permit, he might place sculptures of all Dragon-type Pokémon on both sides of this road in the future, fully reflecting the characteristics of his Dragon-type gym.

Further inside is the main building of his Dragon-type gym.

The overall style is old-fashioned, which is quite in line with the cultural characteristics of the Sinnoh region.

In Xia Yan's view, the so-called ancient style of the Sinnoh region is actually similar to the ancient European style in his eyes, mostly with light brown walls as the exterior walls and some colorful glass as decorations.

The dojo battle area, which is the area you enter from the entrance, is over forty meters high.

The purpose is to allow Flying-type Pokémon to perform at their best during battles.

This is also for the purpose of better changing venues.

Of course, if we compare the width to the height of the dojo, the overall structure is flat, which meets the league's standards.

What pleased Xia Yan the most was the sculpture on the top of the gym, where many workers and Pokémon were working hard to complete it.

It is now beginning to take shape.

On the roof of the dojo, there are two huge sculptures.

The one on the left is relatively shorter and is a four-limbed elf, while the one on the right is relatively taller and is a two-legged elf.

These are, of course, Dialga and Palkia, representing time and space respectively, from the myths and legends of the Sinnoh region.

That's right.

Xia Yan directly used these two legendary beasts as the face of his gym, as the symbol of the Dragon-type gym.

Actually, his original intention was to carve a Fierce Sky Riding Platform.

But then I thought about it, and this is the Sinnoh region, the birthplace of the Origin mythology. Is it a bit inappropriate to carve a Rayquaza, which is mainly found in the Hoenn mythology?

So in the end, we just moved both of them up.

The main inspiration comes from the two Dialga and Palucia sculptures in the town of Shenhe, known as the "Land of the Dragons".

Anyway, Xia Yan's point is that no matter what, we should first raise the level of our position.

The main facilities inside the dojo have been mostly completed.

The most important part of a dojo is naturally its battleground.

However, different venues need to be arranged according to different opponents and different types of battles.

The largest area is equipped with a device to change the terrain, and it also has a spectator seating area that can accommodate a lot of people. High-wattage direct-lighting lights are installed on the top to meet the lighting needs of the venue, and can also be controlled by a control console to focus the light.

Such a venue is naturally the most important venue for a dojo, not only to welcome challengers, but also to host some small competitions.

Don't underestimate these small competitions.

It is also one of the main sources of income for dojos in various cities every year.

Otherwise, relying solely on the alliance's subsidies, Xia Yan would probably be in pain for a long time every year due to the electricity bill.

The maintenance and upkeep costs of the venue also amount to a considerable expense each year.

However, such a venue is obviously not suitable for regular use, so the dojo is also equipped with several smaller venues for welcoming challengers on a daily basis.

Next, there are some office areas of the dojo.

It is divided into several floors, with the top floor being Xia Yan's private office area.

Further on, that area became Xia Yan's private space.
