Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Before Xia Yan could make any further attempts, the proud swallows and king swallows that were drinking water by the lake flapped their wings and took flight, quickly putting distance between themselves and the lake surface as they flew back the way they came.

At the same moment, the swans and ducklings that were leisurely floating on the lake also flapped their wings and took flight, heading towards the opposite shore.

The singing of the Lucky Kappa came to an abrupt halt, and the Lotus Hat Child and Lotus Leaf Child climbed ashore and disappeared into the grass by the lake.

slam-la-

Followed by.

The water suddenly split open, and a huge blue figure leaped out of the lake, casting a massive shadow over Xia Yan.

Emerging from the water was none other than a Gyarados!

The splashing water hit Xia Yan's face, giving him a refreshing feeling.

"Roar--!!"

Under the light, the blue scales of Gyarados shimmered in the reflection of the water droplets.

The air currents generated by the roar constantly ruffled Xia Yan's hair.

"Chocolate!"

"Whoosh!"

"Os!"

"Cough!"

The four elves reacted immediately.

Alakazam teleported instantly, appearing in front of Xia Yan with two spoons hovering in front of him, their dense psychic energy gathering on them.

Togekiss and Latios were also quite fast, hovering in front of Xia Yan amidst the swirling air currents.

The little chimpanzee was a bit slower, but it arrived in front of him in time, its hands flaming with flames, ready to fight at any moment.

Xia Yan, however, appeared quite calm.

He has made up his mind about one thing.

The previous Xicui area might have been an illusion, but this place probably isn't.

The thought that arose from this tension was...

"Gyarados, it's a dragon too, right..."

Great pioneers have taught us that if you don't feel embarrassed, then it's others who feel embarrassed.

The same reason.

If you think it's true, then it's someone else who's wrong.

Now that this Gyarados is real, Xia Yan's mind started racing.

After all, his dojo is under construction and it's estimated that it won't be long before it opens.

Among Dragon-type Pokémon, there are only Noivern, Tyranitar, and Turtonator, and perhaps also Noivern's offspring, but the power gap is too large and the number is too small.

It is impossible to accurately assess the strength of a Pokémon when facing different challengers.

This Gyarados that suddenly appeared looks impressive, but it's actually not that strong.

That means there's only the elite level.

This perfectly matches Xia Yan's requirements.

"However, since it is an elite level, it is still necessary to match it with a suitable opponent."

Xia Yan threw out a Poké Ball.

"sigh!"

Two sword sheaths appeared in front of him.

After a period of training, the dual sword sheaths have gradually become accustomed to their current state. Although there has been no significant improvement in strength, the increase in combat power is still quite noticeable.

"Sword Dance".

"Roar--!!"

When Gyarados saw that its roar had failed to scare Xia Yan away, its already irritable temper became even more uncontrollable.

In its furious mouth, layers of ice crystals rose, and its tail swung, causing even greater ripples in the lake. It lunged forward, viciously biting Xia Yan.

Frozen teeth!

Clang!

However, before it could fall completely, a pale blue longsword was placed across its mouth, the ice crystals colliding with the sword's shadow, producing a crisp sound.

The dual sword sheaths, which had already mastered the "Sword Dance" move, blocked Gyarados's attack.

next second.

A hint of emerald green appeared on the pale blue sword shadow, and with the swing of the longsword, the Gyarados's massive body was actually flung back.

The two sword sheaths silently exhaled.

With a blink of an eye, the eyes on both swords opened simultaneously.

Before Gyarados could even fall into the water, another attack came immediately.

Swish!

Then came the third sword!

Bang! !

Gyarados slammed heavily onto the lake, creating even bigger splashes that crashed against Alakazam's psychic barrier.

"sigh!"

He brandished his longsword from the double sheaths, exuding an aura of being able to hold off an entire enemy force.

Don't doubt it, this is definitely another of its behavioral practices.

He had mastered the combination move of the Holy Sword Slash, with little interval between the three consecutive sword attacks, the transitions were quite perfect, and he maximized the advantages of the two swords.

Furthermore, the power of the "Holy Sword" technique was increased to its maximum for a short period of time.

In Shuangjianshe's own words.

In this state, it only needs... one sword strike to deal with any enemy!

"Oh my god~~"

Latios's eyes sparkled.

So handsome~~

The little fire monkey rubbed its hands together.

It felt that it was missing a suitable weapon.

The lake surface churned, and the Gyarados, which had lost its ability to fight, slowly rose to the surface and floated on the water.

Lost the ability to fight.

Ever since the double-scabbard design went viral online, it has been obsessed with finishing off opponents with a single strike.

A pair of sword sheaths that accentuate a flamboyant personality: That's cool, befitting his status!

The cautious nature of the double-bladed sword: defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, and it won't be able to hurt me.

Xia Yan casually tossed an empty Poké Ball.

Without a doubt, this Gyarados was captured.

Other gym leaders have dozens or even hundreds of Pokémon, but he's really the kind who has no prestige now.

Since this isn't an illusion, is there a chance to replenish my Dragon-type Pokémon inventory?

No, it's a reserve of dragon spirits.

cough.

"Well done." Xia Yan patted the hilt of the double-scabbard encouragingly.

The two sword sheaths revealed a shy expression.

After the fight, his flamboyant personality subsided.

"If it's not an illusion, then we can definitely take a good look around," Xia Yan muttered.

"Cough!"

The little fire monkey at my feet pointed into the distance, towards the direction of the piled rocks, where a valley seemed to exist, where a towering flame shot up, turning half the sky red.

The little fire monkey unconsciously picked at its teeth, feeling inexplicably itchy.

There was no firelight before.

Xia Yan pondered for a moment.

"Since we don't know where to go, let's head in this direction."

The firelight seemed to hold some secrets.

Instead of flying there, they chose to walk.

Not only to see if they could encounter other dragon-type Pokémon, but also to give Chimchar and Latios some training.

The two little ones, one is training hard and needs to see the results, the other is a newborn and needs to have his combat abilities tested.

Xia Yan would choose to let any Pokémon he encountered along the way that were of suitable strength fight.

The little fire monkey did a great job.

It already possessed a certain level of combat ability, and after Xia Yan's training and guidance, it corrected many of its previous bad habits.

His proficiency in mastering the moves has also improved significantly, making him quite adept at combat.

With its exceptional strength, it feels almost no pressure when facing opponents of the same exceptional level.

and.

Chimchar also fully demonstrated its talent in fire-type energy.
