Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

As it approached Togekis, Dramberto glanced at it with some surprise.

The fairy-type energy emanating from it made Draco Balto feel a little uncomfortable.

Togekiss wouldn't normally give Draco Balto this feeling.

Dorambaruto's gaze swept over Togekis's feathers.

It had witnessed what had just happened.

But the feeling before getting close and after getting close are completely different.

That horn... gave it a subtle sense of threat.

But Xia Yan, expressionless, held Togekiss and then said to Draco:

“Something’s come up. This horn on Tokis’s head is probably dangerous to it. I’m going to remove it by force. Can you help me?”

Is it harmful?

Dorombalto was taken aback.

Even though it's a Dragon-type Pokémon, it could clearly sense the subtle threat emanating from the horn. It could also clearly sense that the horn was gentle and shouldn't pose any threat to Togekiss.

Then Xia Yan winked at it.

Now Dorombalto understood.

"Baruya!"

Upon hearing that it was to be forcibly removed, Tokiss stiffened and slowly raised his head from Xia Yan's embrace.

“Cha Ke Yi….”

"No need, I feel much better. If I had two ice creams, I'd probably feel better even faster."

"no!"

But Xia Yan had a stern face and a firm attitude.

Then, he lowered his head and said softly to Tokiss, "Don't worry, it's just grown into your skin. It will hurt a little when you take it out, but it won't hurt much. At most, it might tear off a little skin along with it. If you're unlucky and it's grown a bit deep, it's normal for it to have some bone with it."

But it's okay, these injuries will only hurt you for a while. I'll take you to the Pokémon Center, and you'll be fully recovered in ten days to two weeks.

The tuft of feathers on your head may not grow back in the future, but that's okay. It won't have a big impact on you; at most, you'll just look a little less attractive.

"Pokekiss, relax, we're professionals."

"Chocolate, ee!!" =????=????(●???●|||)

Hearing Xia Yan say this, and describe it in such detail, Pokkis felt unwell all over.

The thought of my three beautiful feathers having a bald patch in the middle is unbearable.

My heart almost stopped.

This doesn't even include the pain that has to be endured.

She immediately broke free from Xia Yan's embrace.

It flapped its wings in the air.

"Cha-cha-ke-yi!"

'I'm okay! I was just kidding, I was just bluffing, hehe—'

Looking at its condition, it didn't seem uncomfortable at all.

Xia Yan slowly narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously wanted to turn up, but he restrained himself well.

He kept a straight face.

"No! I can't let you take such a risk. Togekiss, you don't have to force me. I'm not a heartless trainer. I don't need this power."

As he spoke, he added an emphasis.

"You don't need this hair! Believe me, you're bald, but you're stronger! That's an age-old truth."

Bald, but stronger?

Pokkis's face turned pale.

Whether you're strong or not is a temporary matter, but whether you're bald or not is a lifelong matter!

This made it, which prided itself on being the cutest member of the team, unable to resist.

“Cha, cha, cha, ke yi…”

'No, please don't...'

“Yes, Dorambaruto. Go all out later, don’t hold back at all,” Xia Yan said to Dorambaruto.

"Baruya".

Dorombalut nodded solemnly.

It was very restrained, but the corners of its mouth were still twitching.

I'm about to lose it.

Fortunately, it quickly distracted itself.

It stirred up terrifying dragon-type energy.

Even though Togekiss is a Fairy-type Pokémon, it didn't think it could withstand the surging and overwhelming Dragon-type energy.

"Chocolate!"

Togekiss flashed and activated "Godspeed".

He circled the entire ranch, then returned to Xia Yan, slightly out of breath.

"Cha-ke-yi!!"

'Look, I'm all better! Really all better! Hehe—'

"Pfft-"

Ok.

Xia Yan was the first to break down.

Next up is Dorombalut.

Then Beedrill and Alakazam started laughing too.

Pokekiss is like someone who's too close to the situation to see it clearly.

It didn't even notice how much Xia Yan's mouth was twitching.

I really can't hold it in anymore.

“Cha-ke-yi—”

Seeing Xia Yan laughing, Pokkis let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

My hair was saved.

But the next second, it realized what was happening.

He realized that Xia Yan had tricked him.

He immediately bared his teeth, revealing a fierce yet adorable look, and pounced on Xia Yan.

"Cha-ke-yi!!"

thump--

Xia Yan was immediately tackled by Tokis.

Fortunately.

Pokkiss was quite restrained and didn't really use his strength.

After pinning Xia Yan down, she kept rubbing against him and scratching him.

To vent "dissatisfaction".

As a result, Xia Yan reached out his hand.

Touching the neck of the Pokémon, I found its "soft spot" that I usually massage.

Pokkiss immediately stopped moving and lost the ability to "resist".

"Cha-cha-yi~~"

He squinted and groaned.

It felt tingly and numb, and the feathers on its body were trembling, which was indescribably comfortable.

After a while.

It then got up, looking aggrieved.

Having one's weakness exposed is truly...

Xia Yan patted it with a smile, then took out a box and opened it.

A chill rose in wisps.

"Alright, here's ice cream. Eat up and then go train. Two per person, no more."

Upon hearing this, Togekiss and the other elves immediately cheered.

Pokkis ate with complete self-righteousness.

This is what I got by trading my hair!

Chapter 72 A Month of Settling In

Five days after Xia Yan returned.

"Okay, let me send you some of the information I've compiled and some of my conjectures first. After you finish helping Dr. Yamanashi, we can talk in detail."

After receiving a response from Cynthia, Xia Yan put away his phone.
