Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

What puzzled her was...

Both of them are newly captured Pokémon, so why is the one wearing the bear so obedient, while the Golem from Billis looks like it's about to die?

Xia Yan: Hmph, you try getting hugged and see what happens?

in case.

With Belis's Golem and Bernie's Grimer able to team up, along with their eight main Pokémon, they might just be able to contend with Xia Yan.

No.

More accurately.

Even when they could work together, Xia Yan had no choice but to take a detour.

But there are prerequisites.

Isn't it just that the two of them each have their own ulterior motives, making a full-fledged cooperation impossible?

Backstabbing is something that happened to them all; Joanna herself has experienced it quite a few times.

Given this situation and this mindset, there's no point in even thinking about cooperation. Cooperation might not improve combat effectiveness; in fact, it could decrease it.

So the final result is...

They were defeated one by one by Xia Yan's two spirits.

They put away their spoils.

Xia Yan then looked at Joanna again.

Xia Yan was satisfied with her well-behaved behavior.

After all, he only guided Joanna's thoughts appropriately, rather than completely controlling her.

Faced with such a great temptation, the fact that he didn't stab Xia Yan in the back was somewhat surprising.

Joanna: Nonsense, try getting Noisy Dragon away from you!

But through this battle, Joanna also came to the realization of reality.

She couldn't even reach the threshold of twenty seats.

It's inaccessible, at least for now.

Therefore, if Xia Yan, as an ally, can successfully take over, it would naturally be more beneficial than harmful to her.

at this point.

She could see it very clearly.

"Here you go." Xia Yan casually tossed her a small bag of Poké Balls.

Joanna caught it with some surprise, then looked at Xia Yan.

"remuneration."

The reward as bait.

Joanna gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

But he did not refuse.

Why not take advantage of something that's free?

But this undoubtedly lessened the resentment she felt towards Xia Yan for using her as bait.

"What are you going to do next?" Joanna asked.

A smile appeared on Xia Yan's pale face. "Is my score about right?"

He tossed the backpack in his hand.

Billis and Bernie proved to be formidable competitors; their haul was far greater than Xia Yan had anticipated, and they likely hunted down many others as well.

Joanna glanced at his backpack.

Even disregarding Xia Yan's previous gains, the spoils of war from these two alone are more than enough.

"Mm," he nodded in response.

"So... you've given up?"

Is that what you mean?

But then Xia Yan slowly grinned, his white teeth contrasting sharply with his deathly pale face, suggesting that he could have done it at least ten times a night.

Inexplicable.

Joanna felt a shiver run through her heart when she saw his smile.

Xia Yan didn't answer her, but just waved his hand gently, "While there's still time, try your best to make it to the latest meeting time, just don't be too early."

After saying that, Xia Yan patted the back of the Noisy Dragon and, with its help, slowly sat down.

Joanna pouted and said, "There's no hope no matter how hard we try."

She has captured quite a few Pokémon.

But the current situation is that you definitely won't have enough Pokémon to catch on your own.

They're all taking it from others, it's like a group of people helping one person grab it, how can that compare?

"unless......"

Unless everyone else is dead!

Joanna suddenly looked up and saw the meaningful look in Xia Yan's smile.

His eyes narrowed repeatedly, and his breathing paused for a moment.

Rushing to meet at the latest possible time?

Don't do it too early?

She understood what Xia Yan meant.

Standing there blankly, watching Xia Yan ride the Soundwave Dragon and fly towards the direction they had entered the island.

"Is he really going to do this? This... madman..."

Joanna was shocked by what Xia Yan might have done, something crazy.

What is Xia Yan planning to do?

Using Joanna as bait to lure in two big fish, Billis and Bernie, made Xia Yan suddenly realize something.

Yes.

It's much more efficient to search aimlessly than to wait for someone to come to you.

Using bait is too low a level.

Waiting patiently for the rabbit to run into the tree stump is the best strategy.

Since we'll be meeting at the island's entry point anyway on the last day, we might as well just wait for them there!

Just treat it as a robbery.

Let's pull off a big one!

By the way.

Let's take care of any potential competitors right here!

They only received three spots for this mission.

It is estimated that in other places, the highest-ranking officials also have some quotas.

Those are things he can't control for the time being.

But here.

He has the opportunity to eliminate these competitors here in advance.

of course.

These are not the most important things.

Most importantly...

Xia Yan saw nothing but... Mane among Billis and Bernie's spoils!

Whether you hand it over to the Hunter's Guild and exchange it for mission rewards based on your points, or simply keep it for yourself and sell it for money, both are good options.

Xia Yan never forgot the three things he was supposed to do on this mission.

Make money, make money, and fucking make money!

However, before that, in order to ensure his success rate, Xia Yan had to do one more thing.

I need to persuade Milotic to help me out.

Snorlax and Bewear are quite strong, but after their battles with Billis and Bernie, Xia Yan felt a little uneasy.

If we can persuade Milotic to help us, then things should be pretty much settled.

Riding on a Noisy Dragon.

First, it circled the sky above the island where they entered.

We did not see "Ms. Q".

This emboldened Xia Yan even more.

We arrived at the edge of the island.

He took out a Poké Ball and summoned Milotic.

"Waaah~~"

As soon as Milotic appeared, it gracefully flipped over in the seawater.

No matter how many times he watches it, Xia Yan still thinks Milotic is a really good-looking Pokémon.

Not only because of their appearance, but also because of their inner qualities and the elegant demeanor they exude.

After stretching his body, Milotic came to Xia Yan's side.
