Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Os!!"

Latios nodded and flew to Feebas.

Then you see it.

The ugly fish opened its mouth, and blue-purple energy gathered in front of it, surging and condensing into a ball.

Dragon Pulse!

To be honest, Xia Yan was somewhat taken aback when he saw this scene.

Dragon Pulse?

You're an ugly fish, you idiot!

However, despite his surprise, it did not prevent Xia Yan from commanding Latios in battle.

"Latios, Dragon Dance, Dodge!"

Latios doesn't fight many times or for long periods, so it can't make judgments and respond to situations on its own like Beedrill and others, and needs Xia Yan's command and help.

"Oh my god~~"

Latios's body swayed at a peculiar frequency.

I'm not very skilled at using "Dragon Dance," but the opposing Feebas isn't much better than Latios.

Half a catty equals eight taels.

Latios successfully avoided Feebas's "Dragon Pulse".

“Scales shoot out”.

Latios shook its body, and tiny scales scattered from its body, shooting towards the pufferfish.

"Scale Shot" is a Dragon-type move that can deal multiple hits of damage to enemies with varying probabilities.

After using "Scale Shot", the user's defense will decrease, but their response speed will increase.

For Latios, who has already received the "Dragon Dance" buff, the speed advantage is already quite obvious.

Bang bang bang!

A crisp collision sound rang out.

Then we saw the ugly fish leap out of the water again, its tail now completely covered in a metallic sheen.

It's the move "Iron Tail"!

Latios was lucky; this time, "Scale Shot" dealt quite a few hits.

After blocking part of the attack, the ugly fish still took the hit and fell into the water.

After falling into the water, the ugly fish disappeared without a trace.

Only the surface of the lake rippled.

"Pay attention to the water flow." Xia Yan reminded.

Latios hovered on the water's surface, looking around.

"Behind me, a pure light!"

call--

Then, the pufferfish emerged from the water behind Latios, its head popping out and a wisp of air mixed with a few snowflakes coming out of its mouth.

Frozen winds!

Seeing this, Xia Yan really started to take a liking to this ugly fish.

This pufferfish seems to have pretty good inherited moves and learned moves.

This represents the elves' talent.

The battle continues.

Thanks to Xia Yan's timely reminder, and because Latios had already undergone two speed boosts, its reaction speed was very fast.

The pure white light emitted from its mouth collided with the airflow created by the "Frozen Wind".

"Dragon's Breath".

Latios was gradually getting used to Xia Yan's fighting style and rhythm.

A burst of scorching dragon breath was exhaled from its mouth.

The Ugly Fish on the other side didn't have such a fast reaction speed.

The surging "dragon's breath" struck the pufferfish, and luckily triggered an additional effect, causing the pufferfish to fall into a "paralyzed" state.

"Psychic power".

This is the last one.

Latios's eyes glowed with superpowers as he enveloped and bound Feebas, pulling it directly from the water to the shore.

Ugly Fish lost its ability to fight.

"Os!"

The battle went so smoothly for the first time that Latios lunged forward and pounced into Xia Yan's arms, knocking him to the ground.

Fortunately, Alakazam used his powers to cushion their fall.

“Alright, you’ll get used to it better from now on.” Xia Yan said, lying on the ground and stroking Latios’s neck.

His eyes held a hint of emotion.

Latios has finally started to get into the swing of things since birth.

As a trainer, this made Xia Yan very happy.

But it's this opponent...

The rest is relatively simple.

Xia Yan subdued the ugly fish that had lost its fighting ability, as well as the other ugly fish waiting to be subdued in the water.

After doing all this.

After taking a few more deep glances at Georka, who was faintly visible at the bottom of the lake, he wisely refrained from going down to investigate.

Ultimately, I still followed my heart to some extent.

"Let's go, Alakazam."

"Whoosh."

Superpowers enveloped them.

"Instant Teleport" carried Xia Yan and several Pokémon away from the underground cavern.

In general.

The exploration of the lake bottom yielded the same results as Xia Yan had anticipated: they captured the Poisonous Algae Dragon, took in Milotic, and wiped out the Feebas in one fell swoop.

The process went more smoothly than he had expected.

Actually, Milotic just missed one battle.

But whether Milotic, being a peace-loving Pokémon, will ultimately fight Xia Yan is a real question.

The unexpected reward was Alakazam's Mega Stone.

Theoretically speaking, if he could "convince" Milotic, Xia Yan would definitely go to the bottom of the lake without knowing where it is. Given Alakazam's connection to the Mega Stone, finding it shouldn't be too difficult.

It's just that we missed one game, and it feels like something's missing.

And after they left.

A crack appeared on the Geokawa sculpture that lay quietly at the bottom of the pool.

Followed by.

A sleeping eye.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hunt Begins

"Can I absorb it too?" Xia Yan asked, looking at the azure crystal in his hand.

"Whoosh."

Hu Di nodded decisively.

These superpowers are ordinary superpowers; although they are very simple, they don't help him much.

If it were Xia Yan, he would likely reap considerable benefits.

Xia Yan understood this after talking with Hu Di.

Xia Yan's superpowers have always been mediocre. Although he obtained a method to improve his superpowers from Gadria, he has never tried it.

It's mainly because it's too dangerous.

Moreover, he doesn't have a high need for his superpowers.

After all, he wasn't a trainer specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon; telepathy was enough for him.

As for why he didn't ask Sabrina how to enhance her superpowers?

Is there any difference between that and asking about Gadria?

Both of them are exceptionally gifted.

They don't need to worry about not having enough superpowers; what they should be more worried about and considering is what to do if they have too many superpowers.

It's like asking someone with a fortune of hundreds of millions how they make money.

He'll tell you that making money through stocks, venture capital, or starting a company is like making money effortlessly while lying down.

You understand the principles, but the problem is you don't have the foundation, so how can you learn from others?
