Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Alakazam, standing nearby, slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Actually, having one or two playful companions in the team is quite nice; at least it will make them happier.

If Tokis doesn't cause trouble.

Xia Yan stepped forward, and the little Flame Monkey was already clinging to him, huddled together for warmth. He was just about to say a few words.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly.

Alakazam teleported to Xia Yan's side.

Two spoons hovered in front of him as he stared intently at a dense forest not far away.

Indistinctly.

As the leaves rustled and scattered some snow, several blurry black figures appeared in Xia Yan and Hu Di's line of sight.

As the shadowy figure slowly approached, they finally made out the creature that was getting closer.

Xia Yan gently patted Alakazam's back, indicating that it didn't need to be too nervous.

Because emerging slowly from the dense forest were several spirits, their bodies dark brown, with a pair of long, curved golden horns on their heads connected by a black sphere, resembling ordinary deer.

They found an area with relatively little snow, and after uncovering the snow layer, they leisurely began to eat the grass underneath.

Startled deer.

A Normal-type Pokémon that is relatively common in the Johto region.

Although it is a Normal-type Pokémon, Stunning Deer is also one of the Pokémon that is quite good at Psychic abilities.

If you encounter a herd of frightened deer in the wild, you should be worried. They won't harm you, but they will surround you and create one illusion after another, drawing you in until you eventually lose consciousness from exhaustion.

However, the Steller's Deer is a relatively gentle elf. As long as you don't provoke them, their limit is usually just exhaustion, without causing any real harm.

It's considered a relatively safe elf.

"Whoosh!"

Despite Xia Yan's reassurance, Hu Di did not completely lower his guard.

Xia Yan didn't interpret Alakazam's reaction as disobedience, unless...

Xia Yan squinted and looked into the dense forest again.

Then another figure emerged from the dense forest, a couple of steps slower.

It was slightly larger than the Steller's Deer, and its golden antlers were longer, emitting a faint halo. There seemed to be some special fluctuation emanating from its antlers, and at the junction of the antlers, there was still a black sphere.

The biggest difference between this elf and the frightened deer is that its fur is grayish-white all over and it has a long beard on its chin. If you don't know it, you might think that Santa Claus's beard has been put on by his reindeer.

Similarly, the fur on its tail and legs is much thicker than that of the frightened deer, which looks like it is very warm.

"A monstrous antler deer?!" Xia Yan was somewhat taken aback.

Strangehorn, a Normal/Psychic-type Pokémon, is the evolved form of Strangehorn.

However, the fact that the Frightened Deer evolves into the Deer-like Deer is still unknown in the entire Pokémon world. In fact, no one even knew that the Frightened Deer had an evolutionary form, mainly because...

The Strange Horned Deer is an evolutionary species that only exists among the Strange Horned Deer in the Xicui region, and the reason for its evolution remains unknown.

Even Xia Yan didn't know how the Frightened Deer evolved into the Deer with the Cursed Horn; he only knew that it was a Pokémon that could only be found in the Greenery region.

Xia Yan had seen the Pokémon from the Green Region once before, when he saw a Green Region form of Braviary in the alternate dimension of Regigigas.

And now, he has seen a second one!

The horned deer's eyes glowed with a faint blue light, and superpower fluctuations were faintly visible on its body.

What made Hu Di wary and attentive was not those few startled deer, but this strange-horned deer!

Furthermore, after the Strange Antler Deer appeared, it did not graze like the other Strange Antler Deer. Instead, it silently watched Xia Yan and his group, its eyelids drooping and its eyes filled with a hint of wariness.

The long antlers on the head of the stag function like antennas, making them excellent navigation tools. Therefore, one of the stag's responsibilities is to protect the other stags, which can be considered as the responsibility of a leader and elder.

Clearly, Xia Yan and his companions were considered quite dangerous by the Ghostly Horned Deer.

however.

At this moment, Xia Yan's attention was no longer entirely on him.

He looked up and around.

at last.

In the far distance, a blurry, enormous outline could be vaguely seen.

Because it was too far away, it was impossible to see it clearly.

But Xia Yan recognized it at a glance.

Because Xia Yan was extremely familiar with it.

After all, I only glance at it at least a few dozen times a day, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

And that enormous silhouette in the distance was...

Tianguan Mountain!

Therefore, the area he was in at this moment was not some other dimension at all.

Instead...

Xicui area!

It's really a green area!

Just as Xia Yan was shocked by where he was, Dorambaruto, who was hiding behind him, suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards a steep mountain in the distance.

A blurry white figure flashed by on the mountain.

Despite its high speed, its body color easily blending into the surrounding environment, and its ghostly figure, it was still captured by Dorambaruto.

A hint of doubt flickered in its eyes.

Chapter 172 The Temperature Across Time and Space

Did the unknown totem bring him to the Xicui region?

The so-called West Green District is actually the ancient name of the Sinnoh region, which is what the Sinnoh region looked like in ancient times.

Because the climate and environment at that time were very different from those in the Sinnoh region today, many Pokémon, just like those in the Alola and Galar regions, differed from modern Pokémon.

For example, the horned deer that Xia Yan is seeing now, and the warrior eagle that he saw in the Regigigas alternate dimension before.

However, there was something that Xia Yan couldn't understand.

Although the Unknown Totem is very powerful, it shouldn't be able to bring him from the modern era to the ancient Xicui region, right?

This has already touched upon the realm of time.

Xia Yan knew that the Unknown Totem possessed some spatial abilities, but he was truly unaware of its temporal capabilities.

Moreover.

Even if he traveled to the Xicui region, given the location of Suiyi Town on Tianguan Mountain, he shouldn't be in the snow-covered area west of Tianguan Mountain in the Xicui region.

It is more likely that it will appear in the scorching area east of Tianguan Mountain.

Can't figure it out.

Xia Yan frowned.

Gazing at the startled antler deer and the strange antler deer in the distance.

unless......

Xia Yan glanced at Togekiss and Latios beside him, then suddenly said to Alakazam in a deep voice, "Alakazam, use Psychic!"

"Whoosh!"

Alakazam looked serious and didn't ask Xia Yan why he had it attack. He simply used his superpowers to support one of the spoons.

His superpowers surged and surged, a dark ball of spiritual energy gathering in front of him.

It swiftly smashed towards the direction of the startled antler deer and the elusive antler deer.

But the next second.

The moment Hu Di's "spiritual power" came into contact with the horned deer, it was like throwing a stone into a pond and creating ripples; faint waves spread across the surrounding space.

The strange-horned deer that had been "watching" this place did not show any change in expression.

really.

Xia Yan's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

This explains some things.

For example, why would an unknown totem possess the ability to travel through time?

For example...

Xia Yan looked at Togekiss and Latios again.

Why did the two little guys lick the snow but fail to sense anything?

For example.

As a scout and protector, the horned deer should have the ability to sense danger. If it is so wary of Xia Yan and his group, why would it allow the horned deer to come here to forage?

Xia Yan subconsciously ignored these points that didn't make sense before.

But when you consider the commotion caused by the Hula's attack at that moment, everything suddenly makes sense.

because.

This is not the real Xicui area at all.

It is not a dream world created by an unknown totem!

just.

Soon, Xia Yan had some more doubts.
