Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Lava sprite is a Poison/Water type Pokémon. Its overall shape resembles a seahorse, and its appearance is like rotting seaweed. It is a Pokémon that likes to live in seaweed areas, but because it is not very good at swimming, it is often tied up by seaweed.

Occasionally, they would sneak into shallow waters to escape the "pursuit" of seaweed.

Lava sprites are not common and are extremely expensive because their evolved form is a Dragon-type sprite.

Poisonous Algae Dragon!

Poison and Dragon type Pokémon.

Just as Horsea can eventually evolve into Kingdra, a Dragon-type monster, LavaLoop can eventually evolve into Dratini, a Dragon-type monster, which makes it very valuable.

But Xia Yan hadn't expected to see the scum algae in the water inside the island.

However, now that we've seen it, there's no way we can let it go.

Dragon-type Pokémon are inherently valuable.

Whether you catch them to train as gym Pokémon, sell them, or exchange them for Hunter Guild points, they are all good options.

"Roar--!!"

however.

Things often develop in directions that Xia Yan doesn't expect.

A warning roar echoed from the sky.

Xia Yan's expression changed slightly.

He immediately said to Latios, "Invisibility."

Latios reacted quickly, disappearing from Xia Yan's sight in an instant.

Huhu——

As the air currents swirled, Noivern fell from the sky in a slightly disheveled manner.

You can see a syringe inserted into its wing.

at the same time.

Two figures slowly emerged from the woods less than two hundred meters from Xia Yan, each holding a specially made pistol and wearing mocking smiles.

One of them was accompanied by Nyula.

"Rage!!"

With another high-pitched cry, a vulture landed on a tree trunk beside them.

Their gazes fell on Xia Yan.

One of the men, wearing a dark blue shirt that revealed his thick, muscular arms and holding a long spear, looked at Xia Yan without any apology and even put on a rather surprised expression.

"Hey! Sorry, sorry. We thought this sonic dragon was wild. It kept making a racket in the sky, so annoying. We just shot it. It looks like it'll only be unconscious for a day or two. It's not a big problem."

With ordinary firearms, it's naturally impossible to cause any damage to the Sonic Dragon.

But with the vulture Na turning her head away and Nura leaning against the tree with her arms crossed, it's a different story.

Another man with shoulder-length black hair curled his lip and said, "Wasting one of our special anesthetics is very expensive."

"Hey, hey, look, it's laver!" The burly man in blue, Hirano, patted his companion's arm.

"Damn it! Stop hitting me! It hurts, you know?"

Despite saying that, the black-haired man's eyes lit up when he saw Lala Zao.

Gollum-

Startled, the algae immediately fled back into the water.

But the two of them weren't worried; instead, they looked at Xia Yan.

Hirano fiddled with the gun, intentionally or unintentionally tilting the muzzle towards Xia Yan's position several times.

“Hey, I said, Joanna’s little tyrannical henchman, give us some space. Go wherever you’re supposed to, we don’t bully little kids.”

click!

Xia Yan carefully removed the syringe from the Sonic Dragon's wing and crushed it with a slight pressure in his palm without any expression.

Gently stroke the wings of the sonic dragon to soothe its emotions.

He looked calmly at the two of them.

After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly grinned.

"You think you can get away with this?"

Chapter Thirteen: This thing has a big problem!

You think you can take advantage of me?

Talking and babbling on here.

Upon hearing Xia Yan's unbridled mockery, the two men's expressions instantly darkened.

Even the ace Dragon-type Pokémon lost its ability to battle due to the tranquilizer dart, yet it still dares to be so arrogant?

If the hunt hadn't just begun, and Xia Yan probably hadn't caught many wild Pokémon yet, and it wasn't time to reap the rewards, they would likely have already made their move the moment they spotted him.

The Hunter's Guild's so-called rule prohibiting members from killing each other is, like most organizations' rules, nothing but a joke.

But now.

"Since you're asking for it..."

"Don't blame us."

The two sang in harmony, seemingly having a good rapport.

"Enough with the nonsense."

Xia Yan made a sarcastic remark without any mercy.

His palm brushed across his waist.

With a series of flashes of red light, Beedrill, Alakazam, and Togekiss appeared in front of him.

"Please keep an eye out for anyone approaching," Xia Yan's voice echoed in Doronbaruto's mind.

"call--"

The brief fluctuation in airflow was Dorombalut's response to Xia Yan.

The problem is that the Pokémon aren't strong enough, and there aren't enough Pokémon to participate in direct battles.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Xia Yan could only send out a few of his main forces.

But now that the main spirits have been summoned, these two absolutely cannot be allowed to leave.

Dorombaluto is a guarantee that Xia Yan made.

"What kind of Pokémon is that?" Hirano in blue looked at Togekiss, slightly taken aback.

"What do you care what kind of spirit it is?" The long-haired Shinta's eyes were full of greed. "A spirit I've never seen before must be very rare!"

Both of them threw out Poké Balls again.

What was summoned were two giant basilisks, an Ariados, and a Dragon Scorpion.

Judging solely from the number of Pokémon, the two opponents had a total of six, while Xia Yan only summoned three, resulting in a significant numerical disadvantage and putting him at a complete disadvantage.

But at his stage...

Simply relying on the number of Pokémon is no longer enough to determine the final outcome.

As for why not summon Snorlax.

Xia Yan believes.

It's not necessary to use Snorlax to deal with two nameless hunters.

Mainly...

Let Snorlax take action; we need an extra meal.

Holding down the Noivern, which was trying to stand up and help using its wings, Xia Yan said to the three Pokémon, "Give Noivern some venting, beat the shit out of them."

"Hiss!" The giant bee swung its long stinger and took the lead.

A dark red "sword dance" aura swirled around him and rose rapidly.

"Whoosh!"

Alakazam's body floated into the air, and a magical "miracle eye" slowly opened above its head.

A pink outline extends from its center.

"Chocolate!"

Togekiss let out a low growl, a cunning glint in its eyes, and skillfully executed "Trick," flapping its wings to follow Beedrill beside it.

The two were quite far from Xia Yan, so the opportunity to directly attack the trainer was not good.

But taking them down directly from the front is the same.

Seeing that Xia Yan's three Pokémon had actually launched an attack, Hirano and Shinta exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised mockery in each other's eyes.

Two large-mouthed bats hovered overhead, guarding against a sudden sneak attack.

Vulpix, Sneasel, Ariados, and Dracovish were the main battlers against Xia Yan's three Pokémon.

As an experienced and seasoned hunter, I have a wealth of experience in this kind of field combat.

It is common sense to guard against a direct attack on the trainer.

As the two spirits rapidly approached each other, they also unleashed their respective moves.

hum-

All I saw was...

With a flap of its wings, the giant bee flashed forward, its speed increasing dramatically as it swirled around the air currents, dodging the vulture's oncoming "peck" and charging straight at the snail.

A green light emanates from the long needle, and the "cross-scissors" are poised to strike.
