Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Have you subdued them?

Just by being hugged, you tamed this near-King level bear dressed in a suit?

They stated.

I'd go for it too...

No, that won't work!

I can't take it anymore!

How did Xia Yan manage to hold on?

it's actually really easy.

It's only a tiny bit difficult; anyone can do it.

All you need to do is combine your own psychic powers with Alakazam's, and then use food as bait to make Bebop carefully control its power.

After all, wearing a bear costume wasn't meant to be a "hug and kill" that strangled Xia Yan to death.

It simply wanted to vent its emotions to someone.

Xia Yan didn't know why this bear-wearing creature had taken a liking to him.

Perhaps it was because they saw him and his elves getting along well, and the elves playing happily together.

It's possible that after seeing Xia Yan holding Eevee, he thought Eevee was easy to get along with and wanted to hold him too.

Or perhaps, it was Eevee's response when it waved at the bear that touched its heart.

Everyone else just thinks that waving while wearing a bear costume is a form of protest, because people wearing bear costumes often perform a "hug and kill" move, so they think it's a protest.

Little did they know that this was simply a friendly gesture from someone wearing a bear costume.

They are just...

Poor control of strength.

When the bear-wearing creature picked up Xia Yan, and although cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead, he still gritted his teeth and forced a smile, the bear's heart was in turmoil, and its eyes also changed.

Furthermore, Xia Yan, who successfully survived, gained the approval of the bear-wearing creature.

Therefore, the process of subduing the enemy did not encounter too many setbacks.

Then the two hunters saw Xia Yan, who was still wincing in pain.

Behind them followed a burly but rather憨厚-looking Snorlax, and a bear dressed in a suit with a blank expression, looking even more adorable than Snorlax.

They looked every bit the cutest bodyguards.

They walked toward them.

Two near-Elite Four level Pokémon!

Even though he had just caught the bear, and even though Xia Yan hadn't trained the Snorlax much, it still looked incredibly cool.

He walked up to the two of them.

Xia Yan squatted down.

Staring at the two pleading eyes, but bound by Hudi and unable to speak, he looked extremely anxious.

Xia Yan thought for a moment, "You two..."

"Waaaaah—"

"Are you one of Miss Q's subordinates?"

The two of them kept blinking.

"A trusted confidant?"

After a slight hesitation, the two blinked at each other again.

“Hmm.” Xia Yan nodded. “I’m not such a heartless person. How about this, I’ll give you a chance.”

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope immediately appeared in their eyes.

"Let me give you a bear hug, and if you survive, I'll let you go. I mean what I say," Xia Yan solemnly promised.

How about I give you a bear hug while wearing a bear costume?

The expressions on their faces immediately froze.

Is this what you call giving someone a chance?

That's a tough guy who can throw Snorlax over his shoulder!

Xia Yan ignored their pleading looks, stood up, and waved to the bear-wearing man.

Wearing the bear costume seemed quite exciting.

Not long after.

Two crisp sounds rang out from the dense forest, and a bear wearing a suit walked out of the woods with a slightly disgusted expression.

They really are no good.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it." Xia Yan smacked his lips.

He's a vengeful jerk; he hit his own elf and still wants to live?

I briefly looked through their backpacks.

Putting aside other things.

Their hunting skills are quite strong. They've only been on the island for a short time, but they've already captured quite a few Pokémon. Although most of them aren't very valuable, there are still some decent ones.

Xia Yan released the less valuable Pokémon and kept the ones with decent value.

Handing over worthless spirits will only lower your own status.

"As expected, there's absolutely no need to do it yourself when it comes to catching Pokémon."

Let's wait two more days.

By the third day, the number of elves obtained from these hunters was probably not small.

After having lunch on the spot, Xia Yan put away all the Pokémon except for Latios, Infernape, Eevee, and the bear-wearing Pokémon he had just caught.

The bear seemed very familiar with the terrain, suggesting it had wandered around the island quite a bit.

However, before leaving.

Xia Yan hadn't forgotten that the lake was inhabited by algae.

Although it's unclear why these algae, which should live in the sea, would appear in the island's lakes, we couldn't let them go now that we'd seen them.

Even after evolving, the Poisonous Algae Dragon is still a Dragon-type Pokémon.

Xia Yan still needs Dragon-type Pokémon.

The next question is...

How do I get into the water?

It's not that there's absolutely no way out.

With superpowers, you can always go underwater.

However, this makes it difficult for the spirits to maneuver underwater.

Xia Yan still lacks a water-type Pokémon with sufficient combat power.

This is where he falls short.

His previous Water-type Pokémon, Sharpedo, is now completely out of its element. It's hard to say whether it will protect Xia Yan or Xia Yan will protect it once they're in the water.

He does have a water-type Pokémon.

The Water and Rock type Pokémon, Tortoise-Foot Armor, which was originally stolen from Hoshino Ryuzaki and belonged to Hoshino Ryuichi, one of the Elite Four.

But Xia Yan had been leaving this elf to gather dust in the warehouse.

It can neither be sold nor displayed to others.

"It seems that the only option left is Alakazam."

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yan summoned Alakazam again. After their powers merged, they sank into the lake.

Let's go down and take a look.

If we encounter any more of these scum algae, we'll catch them. If not, we'll come back next time and call Joanna. With her extensive hunting experience, she should know how to handle this situation.

As the water level continued to rise, Xia Yan and his companions, enveloped in their superpowers, silently disappeared beneath the lake.

Underwater, it's a completely different world.

The lake water wasn't very murky, but because the island wasn't well-lit, underwater visibility was also low.

There must be plenty of nutrients in this water, since there are many aquatic creatures in it.

Most of them are common water-type Pokémon such as Poliwag, Magikarp, Mudskipper, and Round Tadpole, which are not very valuable.

Most of the water-type Pokémon chose to avoid Xia Yan and his companions when they saw them.

Of course, there were also some who expressed curiosity, hovering around the superpower membrane.

The Pokémon had clearly never seen anything like it before. They lay on Alakazam's psychic membrane, staring wide-eyed at the underwater scene.

"Os!"

Latios's voice attracted the attention of several elves.

Among these fish, they spotted a small fish that looked somewhat different.

It has a total length of no more than 20 centimeters, with blue, white and gray stripes on its body, and its big eyes are the most eye-catching feature.

With droopy eyelids, he looks weak.

Strangely, when it approached, the surrounding water spirits seemed to see some ferocious beast and all gave way, which caught Latios's attention.

They were inside the super-powered membrane, greeting the water-type spirit outside.

The bear in the clothes waved at it.

It just seemed a little shy and didn't know how to respond.
