Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Faced with the onslaught of the poisonous moths, it rapidly rotated its body, centering on its left foot, and flames surged and spread along its tail, forming a vortex.

A vortex of flames!

As the poisonous moths were enveloped, some of their scale-like attacks were blocked by the flames.

"Cough!"

With a low growl, the Infernape shot forward like lightning.

Fists, elbows, knees, and feet have all become its most effective weapons at this moment.

It completely abandons its own defense, making its short burst of power the strongest.

Xia Yan, upon witnessing this scene, was finally moved.

"Close combat?"

He was somewhat surprised to learn the "close combat" technique.

As a Fighting-type move with a power of 120, it is extremely powerful in close combat.

Although it has the drawback of reducing its own defense and special defense after use, its sudden burst of power should not be underestimated.

Enveloped in a vortex of flames, the Fire Monkey leaped freely through the fire, inflicting heavy losses on the Powder Moths.

bang bang bang-

Several poisonous moths fell to the ground.

pat.

The Infernape landed, its chest heaving violently, panting heavily.

But its eyes were exceptionally bright at that moment.

Own......

You've gotten stronger!

It's become so much stronger.

If it were to face the Arbok of the past, even without the help of Latios and Eevee, it would easily crush Arbok.

Most importantly.

Xia Yan also trained Chimchar's body, corrected its movements and discipline during its early stages, which brought great benefits after it gained the Fighting-type attribute.

Of course.

The new moves they learned are not yet proficient, and they need a lot of time to practice.

but.

Isn't now the best opportunity to train?

Following the faint sound, I looked around.

A large swarm of poisonous moths came into his view.

...

...

At the same time.

On the sea filled with mist.

A ship is sailing at high speed.

On the side of the ship, there is a very bright red letter printed on it.

"r"!

This is Team Rocket's ship.

On the deck of the ship, a slender, short girl with long black hair and a red, tight-fitting outfit, who looked like a delicate porcelain doll, stood smiling at the bow.

Several lifelike dolls were clipped to her waist, each with a different expression, some frightened and some scared.

Can be seen.

The girl's large eyes were actually gleaming with a faint green light.

Furthermore, she wasn't standing completely on the ground; her feet were still a few centimeters away from the deck.

If Xia Yan were here, he would definitely recognize her as the current Gym Leader of Saffron City, one of the three executives of Team Rocket, and a capable subordinate whose abilities even Team Rocket leader Giovanni relies on.

"Superpowered Girl" Naz!

As the top executive of Team Rocket, Sabrina is the youngest and the weakest in terms of Pokémon strength. In fact, she is not even qualified to be the top executive in terms of Pokémon strength.

But no one dared to question her identity.

Even Ma Zhishi and A-Ju, who were also among the three executives, treated her as an equal.

on the one hand.

It's because Sabrina is deeply loved by Giovanni.

Giovanni is currently passionate about an important research project that requires the help of Sabrina's abilities, and only Sabrina's abilities can provide that help.

on the other hand.

This is because of Sabrina's abilities.

It is their own ability, not the ability of the spirits.

Like Xia Yan, Natsumi is a superpowered individual, but her superpowers are far beyond what Xia Yan, a self-taught individual, can match.

In some ways, Sabrina might be more like a Pokémon than some Psychic-type Pokémon.

In addition, Sabrina's powerful superpowers from a young age made others afraid of her, which led to her having a rather eccentric personality.

Even her father, the previous Gym Leader of Saffron City, who was also a psychic, could not control her.

Only Sakagi.

She is currently the only person Naz will choose to obey.

Nazi's biggest hobby is collecting dolls.

Not the kind of dolls you buy, but the kind that use their superpowers to turn other people into dolls.

Deep within her Goldenrod City Gym, Sabrina has her own private room, filled with dolls, except for a chair that belongs to her.

Most of them are human, but some are elves.

These are all part of her "collection".

Meanwhile, Sabrina, aboard a Team Rocket ship, is sailing on the high seas.

Their target was the unknown island where Xia Yan was staying.

At Sabrina's feet, an elf, entirely purple with a forked tail, a round ruby ​​in the center of its forehead, and eyes gleaming, was affectionately rubbing against her feet.

"How much longer?" Naz asked softly.

Her voice was so soft that it was impossible to tell who she was talking to.

But soon, hurried footsteps came from inside the cabin, and a man who looked like the leader of Team Rocket was covered in sweat but dared not breathe.

He quickly controlled his tone and said cautiously, "It will take another four or five hours."

Naza turned her head slightly and glanced at him.

The leader's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his back was completely soaked with sweat.

“Too slow,” Naz said calmly.

But to the leader, it sounded like a death knell.

She was practically begging on her knees to call him "Grandma."

hum-

but.

He was lucky; the outcome he expected didn't come.

When he mustered his courage and looked back at the deck, there was no sign of Naz.

Although he survived, it doesn't mean he's truly alright.

He hurriedly shouted into the cabin, "Quick! Tell them upstairs, Lady Naz, Lady Naz has gone missing again!"

This time.

The entire cabin became chaotic.

The use of "again" here is very apt.

...

...

Xia Yan was clearly unaware that the "employer" Joanna was referring to was actually the Rockets.

It's unclear why Team Rocket outsourced the mission to the Hunter Guild.

They would never know.

The woman, Natsumi, who he found troublesome just thinking about, was now approaching the island where he was.

Or.

We're already on the island.

After half an hour.

Poisonous white moths are everywhere.

Exhausted, Infernape and Latios collapsed under the tree, while Eevee curled up in Xia Yan's arms, looking somewhat listless.

This contrasts sharply with Togekiss, which flaps its wings and flutters up and down, Beedrill, which hovers steadily in mid-air, and Alakazam, which follows quietly beside Xia Yan with a calm and composed expression.

Latios and the others still need more training.

Xia Yan captured the Toxad leader, who had reached the Gym Leader level, with a Poké Ball, and then selected several Elite Toxads that had mastered decent moves and abilities.
