Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"sigh!"

Just as the twin scabbards hesitated, the eye on its other sword opened, revealing a resolute expression.

"You guys... should discuss this."

Xia Yan pursed his lips, choosing to follow the elf's own wishes.

If the dual sword sheaths want to evolve, Xia Yan still has time to let them do so. If they don't really want to evolve yet, Xia Yan won't force them.

Then you see it.

Hiding behind a tree with two sword sheaths, two completely different voices rose and fell.

Latios, Togekiss, Draco Messiah, and eight Eevee were lying beside the tree with its twin scabbards.

They pressed their ears against the trees, eavesdropping on their conversation.

They were already familiar with and accustomed to this self-talking pattern of dual sword sheaths.

But I still can't help but want to hear what it has to say.

When the "eavesdropping gang" led by Pokekis scattered like birds.

The twin sword sheaths appeared before Xia Yan once again.

It has made a decision.

evolution!

Although it had some concerns for various reasons.

But as Shuangjian Yang, with his flamboyant personality, aptly put it: When have you never worried? Yet you've still grown to where you are today.

Upon hearing this, the cautious nature of the twin sword sheaths became immediately clear.

Yes.

When has it never been worried?

Moreover, the dual sword sheaths were well aware of the responsibilities Xia Yan had entrusted to them within the team.

The primary objective is a strong shield; offense is secondary.

However, it still has obvious shortcomings.

After evolution, its only weakness will be overcome.

For Xia Yan, for his comrades, and for himself.

It chose to evolve!

"it is good."

Xia Yan was pleased with the decision made by Shuangjianshe.

Perhaps the dual scabbards themselves were unaware that their character was undergoing subtle changes.

But Xia Yan noticed it.

The dual sword sheaths represent two personalities, or rather, two different personalities within the body, making it seem strange, but the two personalities complement each other perfectly.

Especially after Xia Yan's help, they began to communicate.

Some of his original personality flaws have been improved.

At this point, the dual sword sheaths were not much different from those of ordinary elves.

It is no longer the timid and cowardly double sword sheath.

Xia Yan took out the top-grade Dark Stone given to him by Ju Zi.

Under the hazy moonlight, the Dark Stone continued to emit a black glow, even giving the impression of swallowing up light.

The other elves gathered around.

"Are you ready?"

"Alas!" The twin sword sheaths nodded heavily.

Xia Yan took a deep breath and brought the top-quality Dark Stone in his hand close to the twin sword sheaths.

When the sword was less than half a meter away from the dual sword sheaths, the Dark Stone in his hand suddenly flew up on its own.

Under the unexpected gazes of Xia Yan and the Twin Swords Sheaths, the Dark Stone gently tapped against the Twin Swords Sheaths, producing a crisp sound.

Ding!

This is the best proof that the dual sword sheaths had long since reached the point where they could evolve; the Dark Stone resonated with the energy within its body.

Dark energy rapidly spread from the Dark Stone, firmly enveloping the twin sword sheaths.

Latios, Doromecia, and Ibisevic blinked their eyes.

This is their first time witnessing evolution, and they are very curious.

The evolution of the dual sword sheaths took place during peacetime, and although it lasted for quite some time, no accidents occurred.

When the black light completely faded.

A brand new elf appeared before them.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge round shield, replacing the scabbard, and behind the shield is a huge, thick blade. The hilt, guard, and spine are all golden yellow. The blade is wider than the center of the blade and is serrated. There are two ribbon arms, one on each side of the guard.

His deep purple eyes revealed a profound depth.

evolution!

Aegislash!

However, to Xia Yan's surprise, this form of the Shield Sword Monster seemed to be dominated by that flamboyant consciousness.

In other words, is the sword-wielding mode dominated by a cautious mindset?

Wouldn't that mean...?

The shield-wielding form is arrogant and domineering, while the sword-wielding form is timid and submissive.

It seems like I can picture it now!

Although Xia Yan had sensed this outcome early on, he was still somewhat...

Dumbfounding.

From now on, I will not only have a shield with full sarcasm, but also a sharp sword of caution.

This combination is...perfect.

In other words, it's a shield with all offensive attributes and a sword with all defensive attributes.

Used to it.

Chapter Seven: We're Super Fierce!

a few days later.

A cliff somewhere in the Tianguan Mountain range.

A man in a black trench coat, with an ordinary face, holding a gray and white Eevee in his arms, stood here. The cool breeze brushed against his cheeks and stirred his hair.

Looking down at the lush, dense forest, and behind me, the snow-capped mountains gradually change color.

Suddenly.

A black dot appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching this location.

The black spot grew larger and larger, gradually revealing its shape.

It's a very imposing Salamence that can fly a long distance with just a slight flap of its wings.

A woman stood on the back of the Salamence.

The future hunter J, now the hunter "Tyrannosaurus" Joanna.

Huhu——

As the Salamence approached, the cold wind blowing from the mountain changed somewhat.

The uncontrolled airflow made the man's hair all messy.

Eevee, nestled in his arms, clung tightly to the man's clothes, its thick fur undulating like waves in the air currents.

"Buyi!!"

Ibrahimovic curled up, seemingly showing no sympathy for this near-demonstration.

However, the man remained expressionless, silently watching the Salamence land.

Joanna's gaze also fell on him.

I was slightly surprised when I saw the color of Eevee's fur, but I didn't show any astonishment.

She'd seen plenty of shiny sprites.

"What do you want?" Joanna jumped off the back of the Salamence.

"Roar--!!"

Salamence looked at the weak Eevee with a defiant expression, its face full of disdain.

Little Eevee, however, was fearless, showing no fear in the face of the ferocious Salamence. Instead, it crouched down and bared its teeth.

"Boo!" (σ｀?д?)σ

Ibrahimovic: Don't be so arrogant, I'm super fierce! Ee-ee~~

The Salamence grinned, and wisps of flame seeped from between its teeth, its threat unmistakable.

"Bu-i~~"

Ibrahimovic jolted, fighting back tears, and clung tightly to the man's clothes.

The man placed his hand on Ibu's head and gently rubbed it.

Ibu sniffed.

Don't be afraid!
