Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Detective Meerkat felt a buzzing sound in his head and then completely lost consciousness.

He collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.

Infernape also gains an increased attack power thanks to the effect of "Power-Up Punch".

Its entire body radiated a dark red glow, and flames burned fiercely on its tail.

at the same time.

Latios followed closely behind Infernape.

As the one who almost got ambushed, Latios was holding his breath in a rage.

"Os!!"

As it flew rapidly, its body flashed with a special frequency, and blue-purple dragon-type energy swirled and lingered around it.

With the help of this power, Latios's flight began to become erratic.

Dragon Dance!

and.

During its flight, its scales shot out like bullets, sweeping across the area where the meerkats were.

The more scales it shoots out, the faster it goes.

This moment.

The meerkat detectives finally realized what was happening.

The tactics were unsuccessful.

Then Xia Jiba is the only one left to fight!

Faced with Latios charging towards him, several mongoose detectives opened their mouths and leaped towards Latios.

"Bu-i~~"

But then I heard Ibu's childish voice.

It kept shaking its body, and pink ripples, like powdery sound waves, spread out.

The ripples continued to spread, covering a very large area.

Synchronous interference!

This is the move that Xia Yan's Eevee inherited.

It wasn't used often, but it performed quite well against Zangoose, which is also a Normal-type Pokémon.

The move "Synchronization Interference" can only damage Pokémon of the same type.

It has significant limitations, but its moves are also relatively powerful.

Although Eevee isn't very strong, its "synchronization interference" this time created space and opportunities for Latios and Infernape.

Latios flew swiftly over the heads of the Mongoose Inspectors like a jet plane.

With the enhancements of "Dragon Dance" and "Scale Shot" now complete, Latios' speed is beyond what Detective Mongoose can catch.

They didn't even have a chance to inhale the exhaust fumes.

After dodging the "Crush" attack from the three leaping mongoose detectives, Latios' counterattack began.

"Os!!"

Soft, milky-white "clean light" emanated from Latios's mouth, like a relentless air raid, flashing by without giving Detective Mongoose any chance to retaliate.

And what about Infernape?

Its role is to seize the opportunity to eliminate Latios one by one after Latios has attracted enough firepower and attention.

of course.

When necessary, it can also swap positions with Latios, increasing its mobility and flexibility.

As for Ibrahimovic...

Its greatest contribution was cheering from the sidelines.

They occasionally use the "help" tactic to slack off.

Although the solution required Detective Mongoose to spend a considerable amount of time.

However, Xia Yan, who was not in a hurry, was willing to bear such costs in order to train the Pokémon.

finally.

When all the meerkats were lying on the ground, the grove of berries was completely open to them.

Xia Yan didn't care about leaving a way out for others; he and the three little ones picked all the fruit off the trees.

In any case, given the climate of the La Lola region, these fruit trees will soon bear new fruit again.

It was no surprise that they dealt with the group of meerkats.

But when Xia Yan first came into contact with them, their seemingly very skillful tactical coordination left a deep impression on him.

If the plans of the Mongoose Detectives are followed...

The first wave of "Sand Splash" and "Mud Throw" worked, interfering with Latios and Infernape's vision and reducing the accuracy of their moves.

So those mongoose detectives who are preparing to launch a surprise attack might actually cause Latios and his group considerable damage.

Even if the target is concentrated enough, it is not impossible to kill it instantly.

Looking at this alone...

It seems that Detective Mongoose has a strong ability to cooperate.

but.

When their tactical plans are disrupted by Infernape's Counter Shield.

The meerkats panicked and lost their previous fighting strategy.

It's like not knowing how to play anymore.

It became almost indistinguishable from ordinary wild Pokémon again.

They were easily defeated by the combined efforts of Latios and his two companions.

"These meerkat detectives... are interesting."

Xia Yan smiled and shook his head, then led the three little ones up the mountain.

however.

He initially thought it was just that the Mongoose Detective was a clever elf who came up with a tactic.

But later he discovered...

Not just Inspector Mongoose.

Most of the Pokémon he encountered afterward were different from the wild Pokémon he had encountered before.

Each group of wild elves.

Even individual wild Pokémon seem to have tactics that perfectly suit their own characteristics.

Although they only have one tactic, once Xia Yan cracks it, they become just like ordinary wild Pokémon again.

This phenomenon alone is enough to show that the wild spirits on this mountain are extraordinary.

like...

It's as if someone has ever trained or nurtured them.

"Are all the spirits on this mountain abandoned?" This thought arose in Xia Yan's mind.

It's no wonder it thinks that way.

Although it sounds absurd, it seems to be the only explanation that makes sense.

After all, in the world of Pokémon, there are many cases where trainers abandon their Pokémon.

Like Ash Ketchum later on, didn't he also become a Pokémon Master by "picking things up"?

Furthermore, there are indeed places in the Pokémon world specifically for trainers to abandon their Pokémon.

For example, the Nibel Plateau in the Carlos region is a gathering place for abandoned elves.

Could Mount Hvakrani be the same in the Alora region?

However, this also has one advantage.

That is to allow Xia Yan and Latios to practice tactics more effectively.

Just like the opponent is also a trainer.

This allowed them to progress very quickly.

It seems to be turning into a training ground for Xia Yan and his Pokémon.

But the higher you go, the stronger the wild Pokémon you encounter become.

To deal with these wild Pokémon, Xia Yan summoned Beedrill, Alakazam, and Togekiss one by one.

They didn't take Latios and Infernape back.

Latios and Infernape gradually became familiar with and mastered Xia Yan's tactics through repeated battles.

Although their senior-level strength is still quite far from that of Gym Leader-level players like Beedrill.

But it was time for Xia Yan to practice them together.

So that when Latios and Infernape catch up with Beedrill and the others in strength, they can seamlessly transition into their current form.

of course.

These days, they mostly watch from the sidelines, occasionally playing a role and taking on some responsibility.

In most cases, we still have to rely on beedrill and other insects.

Maintaining this pattern, Xia Yan led several Pokémon across the mountainside.

"Hiss!"
