Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Its theory is quite sound.

Latios: My sister's three feathers can launch a triple attack. If you split them into five, wouldn't that be a five-fold attack?

Ibrahimovic tilted his head and blinked his big eyes.

"Buyi?"

"Hey, that makes sense."

"Just right!!" s(?｀ヘ′?;)ゞ

Tokiss couldn't take it anymore; the two little guys were actually discussing its hairstyle and how many attacks it could unleash.

With a shudder, he shook Eevee off his back and onto Latios.

And he didn't forget to add a sentence.

Pokkiss: Give Little Os a makeover and see how many layers it can have.

Ibrahimovic's eyes lit up immediately.

Latios panicked.

How did this all suddenly get dragged into him?

In order to evade Ibrahimovic's actions, it experienced a "race against time".

When Latios and Eevee returned, their hair was completely drooping.

:(????????????????):

Xia Yan and the elves burst into even more joyful laughter.

The fiery monkey, swaying in the tree, unconsciously touched its hair.

Good.

Ibu seems poised to earn the title of "most stylish hairstylist" in Xia Yan's team.

And their joyful laughter.

It was also overheard by a certain elf on Mount Huilani.

Chapter 49 "Uesugi Kongming"

Amidst laughter, we finally entered the densest forest at the summit of Mount Huilani.

The trees growing here are exceptionally lush, much more so than those at the foot of the mountain or on the mountainside.

and.

Upon entering, not only the elves, but even Xia Yan could smell the strong aroma of tree fruits.

It's a very strong flavor.

It's as if someone planted a grove of fruit trees here.

It was much larger than the orchard guarded by the group of meerkats that we encountered at the foot of the mountain.

"It's starting to look more and more like humans have settled here," Xia Yan muttered to himself.

Because they really look alike.

Whether it's the tactically planned Pokémon we encountered along the way, or the dense forests here, there are traces of human activity.

It might not work out.

Xia Yan might actually encounter someone who lives in seclusion deep in the mountains later.

He might even be an old man.

Hidden within is a peerless manual titled "Three Years to Become a Gym Leader and Five Years to Become a Pokémon Champion."

just kidding.

However, this also made Xia Yan focus more on his work.

The playful elves also put away their frolicking attitude.

"Whoosh."

As they approached the area where the orchard was located, Hudi suddenly spoke up to warn Xia Yan.

Xia Yan frowned upon hearing Hu Di's reminder.

"You said you sensed someone using superpowers to perceive us?" Xia Yan looked at Hu Di.

Hu Di nodded firmly in response.

Because it also has superhuman perception, it can clearly sense when the other party scans them.

Although it is not obvious.

The opponent seemed to be hiding it well, but Alakazam's psychic abilities were remarkable. Through repeated fusions with the stone tablet fragments and the awakening of Mew's genes, although its strength was still at the Gym Leader level, the quality of its psychic abilities had long surpassed that of ordinary Gym Leader level Pokémon.

Xia Yan did not doubt whether Hu Di's feeling was wrong.

"Interesting. I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of existence is inside." Xia Yan slowly narrowed his eyes.

The trees are lush and full of colorful fruits.

Having learned their lesson from the ambush by tree fruits, the elves were all cautious and did not approach rashly.

pat-

With a crisp sound, like shells colliding, a shadow leaped down from a fruit tree.

ka ka ka-

They walked in the direction of Xia Yan and the others, each step very clearly visible.

When the other party stepped out of the shadow of the fruit tree and into the moonlight, Xia Yan and the others finally saw the elf.

This is a purple crab-like creature. Its forked horns, arms, and abdomen are beige, and it has blue stripes from the lower part of its abdomen to its back. It has a pair of huge blue pincers, and the ends of its feet are also blue.

Its distinctive feature is that its left eye is wide open, while half of its right eye is covered by a blue eyelid, making it look quite like a boxer who has been hit in the eye.

Competitive crab!

Xia Yan recognized the elf.

Although Crab is a crab, it is not a water-type Pokémon.

They are Fighting-type Pokémon.

As the name suggests, their personality is extremely strong-willed.

Whether facing an opponent or one's own people.

They will even choose higher locations to compare their strength with that of their companions.

Therefore, the competitive crab is mostly found in the mountains.

They like to eat tree fruits, and often a single punch can knock the fruit off a tree.

A competitive crab?

Obviously, it's not just that.

Competitive crabs are considered social creatures.

Xia Yan only heard more "crackling" sounds, which were the sounds made by the joints of the competitive crab's legs colliding as it walked.

More and more competitive crabs are emerging from the fruit trees.

"Competitive spirit!!"

With a loud thud, the competitive crabs parted to make way.

Then, a creature that looked like a crab, but with snow-white fur and wielding two sandbag-sized fists, emerged step by step from behind the competitive crabs.

Competitive hairy crab!

The evolved form of the competitive crab.

Because competitive crabs like to climb high, the higher they climb, the colder the environment becomes. To combat this extreme cold, the evolved form of the competitive crab, the competitive hairy crab, emerged.

They evolved from their original Fighting-type Pokémon into Fighting-type and Ice-type Pokémon.

It is also currently the only Pokémon in the Pokémon world that combines Fighting and Ice types.

However, Xia Yan remembered that the competitive crab should only evolve in Mount Lanakira.

Like the stag beetle, its evolutionary requirements are quite stringent.

But then he glanced into the distance.

Outside Mount Huilani.

Through the hazy night mist and snowflakes, the enormous silhouette that came into view was Mount Ranakira.

Mount Huilani is right next to Mount Ranakira, so this kind of evolution makes sense.

Xia Yan's impression of the competitive hairy crab is mainly based on his experience in the game.

A decent physical attacker in a Trick Room team.

Because of its strong physical attack capabilities, the competitive hairy crab's slow speed is also a significant weakness, which can only be somewhat compensated for by Trick Room teams.

"Competitive!"

After the competitive hairy crab came out, it glanced at Xia Yan and his Pokémon, and then waved its hand dismissively.

It means to say.

Bring out your strongest Pokémon and let's have a fight first.

This winning hairy crab made no attempt to hide its strength, so its ability was not difficult to judge.

Museum owner level.

Although it's not a dominant Pokémon, it's the leader of this group of competitive crabs, so its strength shouldn't be weak.

Judging from this stance, they're preparing for a one-on-one fight.

Xia Yan nodded.
