Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Wataru now understood why Natsuhiko had been training Latios's rhythm and control abilities, intentionally cultivating its understanding of the "Switch" move.

Dual-core!

Thinking of this, Du couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart.

Before he could even determine which team was his core and what his core tactics were, his best friend Xia Yan was already trying to build a dual-core system.

This made him feel both proud and somewhat anxious.

If this continues, Xia Yan will really leave us in the dust...

Xia Yan, of course, had no idea what Du was thinking.

We haven't dealt with that gloomy-faced guy on the other side yet.

but.

The battles that followed were not actually that difficult.

The other party somehow found out and built their lineup around "Sunshine" Coal Turtle as the core of their Fire-type team.

In Xia Yan's view.

Baird's "Sunshine" ability, aside from Coal Tortoise's ability to activate the "Sunny Day Team," is actually nothing special.

The attempt to imitate the lineup of the "Sunny Day Team" was a complete failure.

All of them are fire-type Pokémon.

There was no coordinated defense, no clear positioning of the Pokémon, and no level of cooperation between them that was greater than two.

general speaking.

It's just a poor imitation, a hodgepodge.

It was more like it relied entirely on the cooperation between the elves, without being able to create the necessary chemical reaction.

But in fact, many people in the elf world are in this situation.

Because there are too many trainers who specialize in one type of trainer.

However, the vast majority of trainers who specialize in one type of training have failed to build a reasonable system for themselves.

Even Tom Ruchi.

Specializing in electric-type Pokémon, she decisively rebuilt her team after recognizing her shortcomings, making the Pokémon composition more reasonable.

Although both are Electric-type Pokémon, sometimes changing one or two can have a completely different synergistic effect.

and so.

Even with Baird's near-Elite Four level Magmortar, with Xia Yan and Du's cooperation, Baird gradually devoured its other Pokémon, leaving only Magmortar, which couldn't cause much trouble.

What Xia Yan cared about even more was...

Instead, it's about how Baird made the Magpie evolve into the Magpie.

According to Xia Yan's understanding, the Duckbill Firebeast needs to be combined with a special item called "Lava Amplifier" to evolve again.

Ordinary magma shouldn't be enough to allow it to evolve.

unless......

Suddenly realizing something, Xia Yan's pupils contracted.

That's when I realized it.

Baird fought and retreated.

We've reached the edge of the lava.

Although its face remained gloomy, it could no longer suppress the madness in its eyes.

He noticed Xia Yan's gaze.

Baird grinned. "Did you figure it out? Too late."

talking.

Right in front of Xia Yan and Du, he took out a glass container filled with an unknown, fiery red liquid.

Then throw it directly into the lava.

"Damn it, Alakazam!"

Xia Yan gave a low drink.

"Whoosh!"

Alakazam immediately reacted and teleported to the side of the discarded glassware.

Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief.

boom!!

A pillar of fire shot down from above, shattering the glass container before Alakazam could reach it, carrying the liquid inside with it as it gushed down.

It is a platypus.

"Heh heh—it's no use. It seems you do know something, but it's too late." Baird grinned maliciously.

Hudi flashed back to Xia Yan's side.

At the same time, Xia Yan also called back the rest of the elves.

"What's wrong, Xia Yan?" Du couldn't help but ask.

Although he knew that Baird must have done something, otherwise Xia Yan wouldn't have lost his composure like this, he had no idea what exactly would happen.

Watching the bubbling, churning lava, Xia Yan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "There is a legend in the Sinnoh region."

Du waited silently for him to tell his story.

"Legend has it that Dialga and Palkia, who once controlled time and space, had an epic battle that nearly destroyed the entire Pokémon world."

This is a legend of Sinnoh, though I've heard of it before.

Xia Yan continued, "During their battle, a fragment was created from the collision and landed somewhere on the Sinnoh continent. Eventually, this fragment evolved into a Pokémon."

"So...it's in this harsh mountain? The legendary elves?" Du asked, somewhat taken aback.

How did this lead to the legendary elves?

however.

This is the case.

The legends about this legendary elf may not be entirely accurate.

But Xia Yan knew that a legendary spirit was indeed sleeping in the harsh mountains.

Fire Steel, Heatran!

The only known Pokémon in the entire Pokémon world that combines Fire and Steel types!

Because of its excellent attribute combination, outstanding defenses, powerful special attack, and exclusive move "Lava Storm," it still enjoys a good appearance rate in Pokémon battles, not only in the past but even now.

Um......

To summarize, let's use a quote that Xia Yan really likes to use to describe Fire Steel Sidelane.

It's Heatran...

He looks like the dominant one, but he's actually the submissive one.

Regardless of how it is in the game, in the real world, it is a genuine mythical beast!

Glug glug—

The bubbles in the magma were churning more and more frequently, and the amplitude of the churning was getting larger and larger, as if something was about to burst out of it.

Xia Yan looked at Du beside him and pursed his lips.

According to his "habit", he should actually be running away at this point.

But given Du's personality, with Baird right in front of him, how could he possibly leave without capturing him?

and so.

Xia Yan was caught in a dilemma.

On one side is potential danger, and on the other is a good friend.

But soon.

He won't have to worry about this anymore.

because......

Wow!!

As lava splashed everywhere, an elf that walked on all fours, with a reddish-brown body, small parts covered with structures resembling metal bracelets, and most of its body shimmering with crimson spots like lava, suddenly appeared from the lava.

Heatran!

Climbing up the rock face, they quickly reached the top, looking down at Xia Yan and the others, as well as Baird.

Due to the effects of the special drug, Sidran was forcibly awakened, so its gaze was not very friendly.

Moreover, the drug also affected its consciousness, amplifying its inner rage.

It looks like...

very dangerous.

"Hahahaha—Sidolane! Sidolane is indeed here, she didn't lie to me!" Baird spread his arms wide, completely mad.

Another person who has gone crazy from doing research.

and many more.

she?

Xia Yan keenly grasped the key words.

“Sidoran, you know I’ve been looking for you, looking…”

boom!!
