Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Upon seeing this third person, both Joanna and Billis couldn't help but show a hint of disgust.

But when she saw Roseradore beside him, she forcibly suppressed the disgust on her face.

“Bernie,” Joanna said, uttering his name.

The Hunter Guild is known for its cross-dressing masters.

He is hated by countless people, but his strength is indeed formidable, so few dare to reveal it.

Bernie seemed completely unconcerned about what others thought of him, merely raising an eyebrow at Billis with a slightly ambiguous expression.

This sent a chill down Billis's spine.

The three of them are quite well-known among the core members of the Hunter's Guild.

They are also strong contenders for the three available spots.

And they obviously knew who had used the explosives, so they rushed over as soon as they sensed the commotion.

Whether it's picking up a bargain or directly dealing with that sleazy guy named Jiujie who uses shoddy explosive techniques, it's a good choice.

But they probably didn't expect it themselves.

Coincidentally, all three of them arrived at the same time.

Even Xia Yan, who was watching from a distance, could sense the tension in the air.

Although the three of them stood in a triangle, Xia Yan could clearly sense that Joanna had become the prey in their eyes.

no way.

That's how attractive Salamence is.

If it were just one person, Joanna might not care, but now that there are two of them, her situation is rather awkward.

Just like Xia Yan said.

In this final, fierce battle, anyone could become the hunter, and anyone could become the prey.

There is absolutely no need for communication.

Billis and Bernie almost simultaneously reached around their waists, summoning several elves at the same time.

A sudden outburst.

And the goal.

It's obviously Joanna who has a Salamence!

And it locked onto the individual.

Joanna was also aware of the seriousness of the situation.

But her expression didn't change much. She swept her hand across her waist and summoned her Dragon Scorpion, Ariados, and Houndoom.

With only her four Pokémon, it was clearly going to be difficult for her to deal with the combined strength of the two opponents and their eight Pokémon.

"Pixie, gravity!" Bernie commanded.

His Pokémon Pixie amplified gravity, restricting Salamence's flight and limiting Joanna's chance of escape.

“Super Strength, Explosive Fist!” Billis grinned maliciously.

The burly, super-strong creature took two steps at a time and charged straight at Joanna's Dragon Scorpion.

The situation turned one-sided almost instantly.

Joanna could only retreat and barely resist, unable to mount any effective counterattack.

Anger flashed across her face.

It wasn't that I was angry about the combined attack launched against me by the two opponents.

She had already guessed this would happen when she saw the two of them appear one after the other.

What really made her somewhat angry was...

"Enough already? Aren't you coming out?! I've been baiting you for so long!" Joanna's voice echoed.

Her words clearly surprised Billis and Bernie on the other side.

What do you mean?

bait?

next second.

Before the two could react, several figures suddenly appeared in front of Joanna.

Among them, a bear-like creature with a blank expression rushed out and came to Machamp. Under Machamp's astonished gaze, it suddenly ducked down, dodging Machamp's "Explosive Punch," and then unhesitatingly threw a "True Spirit Punch" at Machamp's belly.

boom!!!

Despite its seemingly ferocious strength, the bear-like creature was slammed into the ground with a single punch.

hum-

the other side.

The milky white sound waves rushed straight towards Pixie, and the piercing, teeth-grinding noise forced Pixie to stop using the "Gravity" move.

Salamence was able to take off again.

Joanna looked at Xia Yan, who had appeared before her, and was somewhat shocked by the strength he displayed.

"you......"

Xia Yan turned his head, a smile appearing on his pale face.

"You've observed quite carefully."

Joanna, being the first to arrive, inspected the ground and discovered some traces that Xia Yan hadn't had time to clear. So, she was quite frank in the face of the two's combined attack.

"So weak, and you came ten times last night?"

Xia Yan:......

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Most Peaceful Way

"Be careful, these two are both well-known core members and strong contenders for the top three this time," Joanna warned.

Although she knew Xia Yan was very strong, the two opponents were not to be underestimated either.

and.

Joanna couldn't be sure if they had any near-Elite Four level Pokémon.

After all, someone who dares to covet a seat should have some confidence.

Not everyone is like her, daring to covet that position before having the corresponding strength, just because she has a pseudo-legendary Salamence.

Xia Yan, for example, has a near-Elite Four level Snorlax, which is why he's eyeing that position, right?

Normally speaking.

Each of the Hunter's Guild's ordinary twenty seats should have at least two or three near-Elite Four level Pokémon to have the strength and qualifications to sit there.

It's not impossible that some of the stronger ones might have five or six near-Elite Four level Pokémon.

Some people might even have one or two Elite Four level Pokémon hidden away.

And what these people are eyeing is probably the top six seats.

Twenty seats are too many, so it's normal for there to be a large gap in strength.

If the guild hadn't lost so many ordinary seats this time, they wouldn't have given these core members such a good opportunity, making everyone a little restless.

"You don't want it?" Xia Yan glanced at Joanna with a smile and asked with a hint of teasing.

There are definitely two people on the other side.

But there are two of them on their side too.

Joanna rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Instead of answering, he asked a question in return.

"Are you willing to share some of the profits with me?"

That's a very pertinent question.

If Xia Yan agrees to let Joanna do it, it means he will have to share some of the spoils with her.

Xia Yan's answer to her was simply to shrug.

He didn't speak, but his meaning was clear.

These two people were his prey.

...

"Two Pokémon at near-Champion level?"

at the same time.

Billis and Bernie, who were on the opposite side, also looked a little serious when they saw the elf next to Xia Yan.

They all witnessed the scene where the bear-wearing monster knocked down the strong creature with a single punch.

In addition to what Joanna said earlier.

They actually became Xia Yan's prey?

This result made the two of them want to make fun of themselves.

Just moments ago they were eagerly planning to hunt Joanna, and now their identities have been reversed.

“Sir, no offense intended. If Joanna is your friend, we apologize for the inconvenience,” Bernie said.

The sharp, acidic sound is extremely grating.

But the simple meaning is: You're very strong, we're not fighting anymore.

Xia Yan nodded and said with a smile, "I'm not a heartless person. Here's what you can do: leave all your Poké Balls behind and you can go."

Summer is full of human warmth.
