Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

That dazzling light, that warmth that shone on my body.

That's the sun!

How long has it been?

Hidden under the thick volcanic ash, they never saw the real sun again.

It's been so long...

this day.

The spirits beneath the harsh mountains seemed to be full of energy again.

They believe that what they saw yesterday foreshadows a better life for them to gradually move towards.

"Well......"

Du, lying on the ground, trembled slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

He's not dead?

Oh, right, Xia Yan appeared in front of me at the very end.

As consciousness gradually returned, Du's memories of yesterday slowly surfaced in his mind.

Xia Yan?

"Xia Yan!" Du suddenly realized what was happening and sat up abruptly.

"You seem to be sleeping quite comfortably."

As he searched for Xia Yan's whereabouts, that familiar voice came from behind him.

Du quickly turned around.

Then you see Xia Yan, whose clothes are a little tattered, sitting cross-legged on a rock behind him, with a Pokémon egg quietly placed between his knees.

That Pokémon egg... although it wasn't a Dragon-type Pokémon, its rich life force activated another usually dormant power within Lance's body.

"What... what's going on?" Du blinked.

Xia Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance. "It's nothing. I just managed to scare away Sidran with your sleeping posture."

Watari: "......"

I fainted, but that doesn't mean I've gone stupid.

Xia Yan stood up, dusted himself off, and carefully put the Poké Ball back into his backpack. "Alright, mission accomplished, we should go."

"Wait, where are Dragonite and the others?" Lance hadn't found any trace of his Pokémon.

Xia Yan pouted.

They had been awake for a while, unable to contain their frustration, and had gone outside to exercise so as not to disturb Du's rest.

This finally put Du at ease.

"Why did you suddenly get a Pokémon egg?"

The two walked out of the cave and left the harsh mountain.

Xia Yan swayed his backpack, feeling the warmth on his back, and looked up at the sky below the harsh mountain.

Volcanic ash still lingers.

But I feel like the sun is really nice today.

A slight smile played on his lips. "Left by a friend."

"friend?"

Du paused for a moment, looking at Xia Yan walking ahead.

He felt that a lot had happened last night, but unfortunately he knew nothing about it.

but......

A smile slowly appeared on Watari's face.

who cares.

Most importantly, he and Xia Yan both survived.

No?

...

...

Even after Xia Yan and Du left, the matter of Yan Ku Mountain was not over.

Last night, the sight of a sun appearing on the summit of Mount Frost was not only seen by the Pokémon of Mount Frost, but also by some trainers in the Battle Zone. Naturally, the League staff who came to seal off the area near Mount Frost at Lance's prompting also saw it.

This incident even caused quite a stir online.

Many people are speculating about what caused this.

Could it be that some legendary spirit has appeared?

The Sinnoh League also demonstrated sufficient importance to this.

Harsh conditions in the mountains.

The appearance of Sidson left the cavern in ruins.

An elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed impeccably and meticulously groomed, leaning on a gilded cane, slowly appeared here.

The old man first looked around, then frowned slightly.

rustling --

A black clay golem with a ring of red eyes appeared beside him.

Superpowers emanated from the psychic clay figure, sweeping across all areas of the cavern in concentric circles.

The old man smacked his lips. "It seems the traces were handled very cleanly."

But the psychic clay puppet still used its superpowers to present a tiny, glistening piece the size of a thumb to the old man.

"Scale powder? Rich fire-elemental energy, is it the scale powder of a Volcano moth? Then it seems that last night's 'sun' was a Volcano moth." The old man nodded.

He continued to stare blankly at the mess before him.

Although the damage has caused many traces of things to disappear.

But as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and a seasoned one at that, he could deduce information about many things just by glancing at them.

The most basic result is this kind of destruction, which is not something a Gym Leader-level Pokémon can achieve.

The old man looked at the surging lava.

"Is that the one sleeping inside? Then how did they survive? Was it luck, or...?"

As he muttered to himself, the old man's originally warm expression gradually turned somewhat gloomy.

"Or what?"

Suddenly.

A hoarse, deep voice sounded from behind the old man.

The sudden sound startled him.

I turned around and saw it.

In the shadows.

An old woman, hunched over and leaning on a wooden cane, slowly emerged from the shadows.

The gloom on the old man's face vanished instantly, replaced by a warm smile. "King Kikuko, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Someone come here.

It was Kikuko, Xia Yan's cheap teacher!

Kikuko glanced at him; she wasn't buying his fake smile at all.

He said in a sinister tone, "Ryuichi Hoshino, I don't care if you want to investigate your grandson's affairs, but don't interfere with my disciple's affairs. Don't go around suspecting people randomly; it's very unethical."

The first old man to arrive here was none other than Ryuichi Hoshino, the Rock-type Elite Four member of the Sinnoh region!

Kikuko, who already had a bad temper and an eccentric personality, showed absolutely no respect for Hoshino Ryuichi.

Kikuko despised someone who stubbornly refused to step down from his position among the Four Heavenly Kings.

Compared to Liu Bo, one of the few people she respected, she immediately felt a huge gap.

Therefore, I have absolutely no liking for someone like him.

Ryuichi Hoshino paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "King Kikuko is joking."

The fact that Hoshino Ryuichi could still smile in the face of others' undisguised rudeness shows how deep his cunning is.

Kikuko gave him a deep look.

He walked past him and went to the lava.

Although Baird is dead, as the person in charge, she still needs to confirm the situation.

As Kikuko walked past him, Hoshino Ryuichi's smile gradually faded.

But I saw...

A dark head emerged from Kikuko's shadow and made a face at him.

It's Gengar!

Kikuko was holding a Poké Ball.

Inside were the duckbill fire beasts that Xia Yan and Du Shang had handed over.

"It seems that rumor is true... the Duckbill Firebeast has an evolved form, so the person who proposed this theory also mentioned another possibility..."

Kikuko's eyes sparkled.

"Electric Beast".
