Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The thing the caller told him and asked for help about made him a little uneasy.

“Mr. Yan Xia, I’m afraid you’ll have to come over; we need your help.”

The call was from Ryuichi, a member of the "Meteor Dwellers".

Xia Yan instantly recalled the three-month prophecy Darkrai had given him.

Calculate the time.

It seems like it really isn't far off.

But Xia Yan really couldn't refuse this matter.

They already gave us a Latios egg, so refusing would be like turning your back on them.

Moreover, Xia Yan really wanted to go back to "Meteor Village" to take another look.

Let's trace the origin of Latios's fairy egg.

and so.

Xia Yan still went.

It seems that as long as one doesn't get involved in the battles of those "who can't fly".

I should be able to make it back in time for the "German Cup".

What Xia Yan didn't know was...

In the chaotic town of Suiyi, several pairs of eyes are constantly watching his every move.

After learning that he had disappeared for a day without being seen, some people, like sharks smelling fish, began searching for him everywhere.

Chapter Seventy-Three: The Attack!

Riding on the Noisy Dragon, Xia Yan left Suiyi Town again after informing Kikuna and Rinka.

In the past, he might have had to take a plane to get from the Sinnoh region to the Hoenn region.

But we don't need to anymore.

Taking a plane is too troublesome, and there's no guarantee of getting a ticket; you might have to wait.

Once Latios's strength reaches the Elite level, after leaving the Sinnoh region, you can simply break through the clouds and switch to Latios in the sky.

With Latios's current straight-line flight speed, even most Gym Leader-level Pokémon can't match it.

The nickname "Blue Plane" isn't given lightly.

The Hoenn region is located in the southwest of the Sinnoh region, so Xia Yan needs to cross the Coronet Mountains first, then pass over Lucky City, and leave the Sinnoh continent from the direction of Lake Heart.

There's no need to worry about the direction.

The tool that Daigo's company and Silver Company jointly developed is becoming increasingly sophisticated.

The navigation device has a full range of functions.

Xia Yan, standing on the back of the Noisy Dragon, glanced at the Tianguan Mountain Range below the clouds and pondered some things.

For example, his next plans and intentions, or what the "Meteor Dwellers" want him to do for them when he goes to Hoenn.

There are many things to consider.

Some conclusions can be drawn immediately, while others require some thought and process.

however.

When they passed over the high mountain where Zhuqing City is located, an unexpected situation occurred.

Normally, flying in the sky, especially above the clouds, means that unless you enter the airspace of a Flying-type Pokémon with a strong sense of territory, you shouldn't encounter any trouble.

As a result, the Noisy Dragon carrying Xia Yan suddenly stopped halfway through its flight.

If Xia Yan hadn't used his superpowers to stabilize himself, this sudden stop might have sent him crashing off the plane.

After standing still, Xia Yan did not immediately blame the Soundwave Dragon.

It must have its own reasons for doing so.

It flapped its wings, hovering high in the air, its head constantly turning, occasionally opening its mouth to emit a sound that Xia Yan couldn't hear.

Sometimes it would turn its head to the side, its two huge ears seemingly collecting something.

"What's wrong, Noisy Dragon?"

Xia Yan was puzzled by the Noisy Dragon's reaction and couldn't help but ask.

just.

His response was a low growl from the Noisy Dragon and a hasty dodge.

Xia Yan gripped its back tightly and saw a purple figure sweeping up from below the clouds at an extremely fast speed.

If Noivern hadn't dodged, it might have been attacked by that purple figure.

"Roar--!"

After hastily dodging the attack and regaining its balance, Noivern roared at the approaching figure.

At this time.

Xia Yancai then looked at what that figure actually was.

Its entire body was deep purple, with two pairs of wings, one large and one small, flapping up and down. It had yellow eyes with red pupils, its eyes filled with provocation, and its mouth was open, revealing a slightly mocking smile.

"Cross-shaped bat?"

Xia Yan frowned slightly upon seeing the elf.

Crobat is an evolved form of Zubat. It can only evolve after Zubat and its trainer reach a certain level of affinity, so wild Crobats are relatively rare.

Moreover, wild cross-bats are actually quite docile, rarely appearing during the day while sleeping. As long as you don't provoke them, they won't suddenly attack you.

It is daytime now.

The fact that the Crobat was clearly targeting them earlier indicates that it wasn't a wild Crobat, but rather belonged to a trainer.

Previously, Crobat was relatively rare, and it only evolved occasionally when a trainer accidentally reached a certain level of affinity with their Zubat.

With the publication of Xia Yan and Sakuragi's paper on "intimacy," and the confirmation that some Pokémon require intimacy to evolve, Crobat gradually became more common.

It's just that Xia Yan probably didn't expect this either.

Sakuragi and his published papers would one day become tools used by others against him.

obviously.

The Noivern suddenly stopped and kept emitting and collecting sound waves because it sensed the presence of Crobat.

They are both spirits that can use ultrasound to sense things. Although their sound frequencies may be different, they must sense each other to some extent.

"呲呲-"

The Crobat called out to Noivern a few times, seemingly disdainful of Noivern's dodges.

At this moment, Xia Yan, sitting on the back of the Noivern, could clearly feel the Noivern's tense body.

In addition, there's the speed that the Crossbat previously demonstrated.

Near-King level!

This is definitely a near-elite-level Crobat!

Xia Yan's expression darkened.

This further confirms that the Crobat belongs to a certain trainer's Pokémon.

As for why one would intentionally attack oneself...

Xia Yan bent down and patted Noisy Dragon on the back.

He gestured for her to go down.

He's currently in the air, on the back of the Noisy Dragon, which would be very disadvantageous for him if a battle broke out.

Noivern glared fiercely at Crobat, then turned its head and fled straight down into the clouds.

There's no escaping it.

Noisy Dragon was not as fast as this Crobat, and it was carrying Xia Yan, so running away would only make them easy targets.

Besides, Xia Yan also wanted to see which trainer was going to attack him.

Noisy Dragon was very fast. After breaking through the clouds, it flew straight towards the high mountains where Zhuqing City was located. The dense and sparsely populated jungle was the closest land that Noisy Dragon could reach at the moment.

but.

Noivern took the lead, bursting out of the clouds, while Crobat, only slightly slower, also burst out of the clouds and approached them at an even faster speed.

At Crobat's speed, it's likely that before Noivern can even reach the ground, Crobat will have already reached Xia Yan.

Left with no other choice, Xia Yan reached for his waist.

Hudi hovered beside him.

Alakazam, realizing what he had to do, twirled his spoon, unleashing two "psychic attacks" straight at Crobat.

Although Alakazam is a Gym Leader-level Pokémon and Crobat is a near-Elite Four-level Pokémon, Psychic abilities are effective against Poison-type Pokémon, forcing Crobat to dodge and avoid both attacks.

This created an opportunity for Noivernosaurus.

Crobat is indeed faster than Noivern, and even though it dodged Alakazam's attack, it quickly caught up.

"gravity."

Xia Yan parted his lips slightly and spat out two.

Hudi understood and threw out one of the spoons, and a "gravity" field instantly formed around it.

The cross-bat finally slowed down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Noisy Dragon flapped its wings repeatedly and flew towards the mountaintop.

However, seeing the Crossbat being blocked, Xia Yan did not relax at all; instead, he became even more vigilant.

Since someone is targeting him, there must be more than one Crobat. Perhaps that person is already waiting for him on the ground.
