Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

But with so many white-collar workers in Golden City, there are definitely quite a few people dressed similarly, if not too many.

It's also difficult to make connections.

“Xia Yan, if it really is Tom Ruoqi, the two of us can’t handle him. I’ve already informed Mr. Azir and the others,” Du said.

“I left something at the club that’s very important to me, and I have to get it back,” Xia Yan said in a deep voice. “Besides, Tom Ruoqi’s attention should be entirely focused on the Pure Gold Feather right now.”

With all this lightning, he must be hiding somewhere, waiting for the Zapdos he's about to successfully summon.

Even if Loto is at the club, he still has to go back.

He knew he wasn't a good person, but since he had promised Yungira, he had to keep his word.

Just as he promised Unicorn to go to greater heights together.

It's definitely not because Kadabra's Pokémon egg is very valuable.

Yes, absolutely.

His gaze was fixed on the club in the distance below, whose outlines were already faintly visible.

He didn't want to, and couldn't, get involved in the fact that Loto was Tom Ruoqi.

He had done all he could by telling Watari the whole story.

All he wanted was to retrieve the Pokémon egg and then get away from this troublesome place, Goldenrod City!

Otherwise, are you suggesting that someone who has only had a Pokémon for less than a month should go head-to-head with the reserve Elite Four?

Do you want to die young?

Chapter Sixty-Five: Gun?

Charizard is very fast.

After this incident, Xia Yan has decided to get a Flying-type Pokémon as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too inconvenient.

Compared to traveling by car, flying-type Pokémon are undoubtedly more convenient.

It landed not far from the club.

Looking at the still brightly lit Silver Elf Battle Club, Xia Yan thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me here, I'll go back and get my things."

"Shall I go with you?" Du said hesitantly.

With Du following along, it would indeed be safer if trouble were to arise.

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Lance put away his Charizard and gently patted his waist.

Kaka-

Hearing the sound, Xia Yan turned his head and looked at the thing that appeared in Du's hand, and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"gun?"

Does this investigator carry a gun?

This was the first time he had ever seen a gun, such a cold thing, in the elven world.

"It's better to be prepared," Du said calmly.

He pressed the chamber button, placed his index finger lightly on the trigger, and prepared to pull it at any moment.

While guns don't pose much of a threat to elves, they can be deadly enough to humans.

It can play an unexpected role when used unexpectedly.

Clearly, Lance isn't someone who's just clueless about Pokémon battles; if there were a more convenient and efficient way, Pokémon battles wouldn't be necessary.

Xia Yan lowered his eyes.

Ultimately, in a life-or-death battle, the key to solving the problem and the primary objective is to defeat the trainer of the opponent's Pokémon.

How do you determine a winner in a Pokémon battle?

That's just a beautiful scene depicted in an anime.

Watari followed Natsuhiko and tiptoed into the club.

The club was open, but there was no one inside; it was very quiet.

It was as if everyone inside had vanished into thin air.

Xia Yan didn't see Anna at the counter or Loto waiting for him there like before.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He quickly returned to his room, took the elf egg out of the incubator, and carefully placed it in his backpack.

"An elf egg?" Wataru asked, somewhat surprised.

I've seen quite a few Pokémon, but Pokémon eggs are relatively rare. They usually only appear in breeding houses or special breeding bases of the League. The Dragon Tamers also have professional Pokémon egg hatching grounds, but the truly precious Pokémon hatch naturally in the Dragon Cave.

"Mm." Xia Yan nodded.

He immediately relaxed a lot after getting the Pokémon egg.

If anything unexpected happens afterward, he can withdraw as needed.

At this moment, Golden City is the eye of a swirling typhoon.

There used to be an overt League of Legends faction and a covert Team Rocket faction here. For many years, the two sides maintained a good balance through tacit understanding. However, the appearance of Tom Rukki completely muddied the waters of this place.

Xia Yan, who had some contact with the league and the Rockets, was well aware of how big this storm might be.

With his strength, he shouldn't have gotten involved, but the fact is he was already on the edge of the storm's eye.

The only consolation now is that, without the constraints, he has the possibility of extricating himself from the situation.

With the quest completed, 50,000 Alliance Coins have been deposited into his account. Meanwhile, the Water-type Pokémon he caught in Maplefall River today could fetch a considerable sum of money if sold on the black market in any city.

Now, he no longer needs to deliberately stay in Golden City or the club for a little money.

“We should go. If Tomruchi is really here, we’re in trouble,” Watari said in a low voice.

It turns out that even the future champion, Yulongdu, has moments of fear.

well.

Because Xia Yan was even more afraid than him.

"Let's go!" Xia Yan shouted in a low voice, and led Du back the way they came.

The club was quiet, much quieter than usual. Normally, you could occasionally hear the sounds of training or matches coming from the training rooms in the corridor, but now it was unusually quiet.

It was eerily quiet.

With the club's entrance just one more corridor to walk through, Wataru and Natsuhiko unconsciously quickened their pace.

The sound of leather shoes clicking on the floor tiles echoed in the corridor, sounding particularly abrupt.

The closer they got to the gate, the more their hearts pounded in their throats.

at last!

After running out of the corridor, the club's doors came into view.

just.

Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a figure slowly appeared in front of them from outside the club.

He wore a neat, tailored suit, and his head was bowed, revealing his meticulously combed hair. One hand was in his pocket, and the other held a half-smoked cigarette, wisps of smoke rising slowly from his cheek and quickly dissipating into the air.

Xia Yan and Du suddenly stopped in their tracks, their expressions instantly turning extremely grim.

Loto!

Or rather...

Prepare for the Four Heavenly Kings, Tom Rukki!

He slowly raised his head, his sculpted features exuding elegance, his long, narrow black eyes filled with amusement as he glanced at Xia Yan and Du.

When he saw the unicorn on Xia Yan's shoulder, his smile carried a hint of disdain and contempt.

"0451, where are you going?" Loto's slightly deep voice echoed in the empty club lobby.

Upon hearing his words, Xia Yan's heart tightened even more.

Shouldn't Tomruch be preparing to summon Zapdos by now?

How could he possibly have time to bother with those two insignificant little things in his eyes?

"Xia Yan! Look at his chest!" Du's voice rang in Xia Yan's ears.

Following his voice, one could see a golden feather tucked into the pocket of Loto's suit, gleaming brightly under the club's already bright lights.

Pure gold feathers!

This feather is the pen that Loto usually uses to sign his name!

click!

Suddenly, Watari raised his gun, pointed it at Loto, and shouted sternly, "Hands up!"

"Rob?"

Loto was taken aback when he saw the gun in Du's hand, but his smile became even more unrestrained. "A gun? Hahahaha—"

He laughed wildly.

Bang!

Flames spewed from the muzzle, and a silver bullet shot out swiftly from the muzzle, causing the arm to jolt from the recoil.

Facing Loto, Watari fired without hesitation.

boom! !

However, amidst Loto's laughter, the bullet slowly came to a stop in front of him, a thin layer of superpower covering it.

Then, an elf slowly emerged from behind Loto.

The humanoid elf has a golden body, some white hair on its neck, pointed ears, a large nose, and holds a string with a ring tied to the other end for hypnosis.
