Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

He didn't seem very surprised.

It seems... they already knew?

“Mr. Yan... Mr. Xia Yan, you’ll understand once you come in with me.”

With that, Long Yi led Xia Yan through the spatial barrier with practiced ease and entered the "Meteor Village".

Returning to the "Street of Meteors," Xia Yan's feelings deepened even more.

Previously, Cynthia had taken him to the "Dragon's Tomb" in God and Town. Although it felt very different from the "Meteor Village," he felt that the two spaces also had many similarities.

The most similar point is...

It is inhabited by a large number of dragon-type spirits.

Long Yi led Xia Yan into the small village where the "Meteor People" lived, and into the house that belonged to Elder Long Yan that he had visited before.

But when Xia Yan entered the house and saw a person standing inside, he was completely taken aback.

"King Genji?!"

One of the current Elite Four in the Hoenn region.

Genji, the Dragon King!

Xia Yan suddenly remembered that Elder Long Yan had mentioned that they had some connection within the Fengyuan Alliance.

Xia Yan never imagined that this tiny connection would lead to this.

It's actually Genji, the Dragon King?

Genji wasn't too surprised to see Natsuhiko.

He simply smiled and said, "We meet again, young brother Xia Yan."

Based on what Long Yi said earlier.

Xia Yan was silent.

They probably already knew all along.

If Genji really had a close relationship with the "Meteor Dwellers," he should have already heard about him.

Furthermore, considering that Xia Yan and Genji had met several times, and that Xia Yan had even showcased his Pokémon at the "Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament," this was further supported by the fact that Xia Yan and Genji had met several times, and that Xia Yan had even shown off his Pokémon at the "Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament."

He didn't change his appearance either.

It's not impossible that Genji could deduce Xia Yan's identity by combining these factors.

Xia Yan was somewhat relieved that he had confessed first.

"Hehe—Xia Yan, don't be nervous. It's normal to use a few fake names when you're out and about to protect yourself."

"If I hadn't sensed some dragon-type energy fluctuations from you back then, I wouldn't have connected you with the 'Child of Prophecy' that Long Yan and the others spoke of."

The dragon-type energy fluctuations that Genji sensed were actually the energy of Dracobalut.

However, he was unaware of Dorombalto's existence, so it can only be described as a coincidence.

But what Genji said can be summarized into a very simple meaning.

Boys need to learn to protect themselves when they go out.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Fierce Sky Throw!

Genji was also here, which Natsuhiko hadn't expected.

Fortunately, he had discussed it with Dragapult beforehand and put it into a Poké Ball.

The fear is that there might be someone among the "Meteor Dwellers" who has a special ability to sense Dragon-type Pokémon and might discover Dragapult.

“Alright, now that Xia Yan is here, let’s go to Granny Long’s place,” Yuan Zhi said.

It seems that Genji also holds a high position among the "Meteor Dwellers".

Elder Long Yan, who was standing to the side, did not show any resistance to Yuan Zhi taking over the discourse.

Then, led by Genji and Ryuen, the group headed towards the "Dragon's Nest" outside the village.

During this time, through some simple conversations with Ryuichi, Xia Yan gradually understood the relationship between Genji and the "Meteor People".

Genji was not a "meteor dweller".

But I have a very close relationship with them.

In his youth, Genji accidentally wandered into "Meteor Village".

Ultimately, he gained the approval of the "Meteor People" and, like Xia Yan, selected a dragon-type Pokémon egg from the "Dragon's Nest".

That Pokémon egg is now Genji's ace Pokémon, Salamence.

After that, the "Meteor Dwellers" maintained contact with Genji.

They have a very good relationship.

Therefore, although Genji was not a "Meteorite," he could be considered half of one.

Ultimately, the "Meteor People" were a group of ancient people from different places who eventually gathered in the "Meteor Village" to become a single people.

Not long after.

The group then arrived at the big tree where Xia Yan had been before.

On the ancient tree, around the enormous dragon's nest, there were still quite a few dragon-type Pokémon lingering.

Under the tree, Granny Long lay comfortably in her rocking chair, her eyes half-closed.

Upon seeing Genji and Natsuhiko arrive, he slowly opened his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Grandma Long," Genji called out with a smile.

Although Genji is quite old, when he came to choose a spirit egg, Granny Dragon was already guarding it under the tree.

So even though Genji has now become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he still respects Granny Ryu very much.

Granny Long's cloudy eyes swept over everyone, nodded to Yuan Zhi and Elder Long Yan, and finally landed on Xia Yan.

"coming."

A slight smile appeared on Granny Long's face.

"Grandma Long," Xia Yan called out as he stepped forward.

Grandma Long nodded imperceptibly, slowly stood up from the chair, and gently patted her back with her hands behind her back.

Just then, a little girl ran out from behind the tree and quickly helped her up.

"Mother-in-law."

Higana?

Upon seeing the girl, Xia Yan immediately thought of her name.

"Hehe—it's nothing."

Grandma Long patted her head affectionately, then addressed the crowd:

"bring it on."

With slow but steady steps, I walked up the wooden spiral staircase that surrounded the big tree.

The tree is very big.

The first and largest branch after you go up is the "Dragon's Nest".

However, Granny Long did not stop, but continued to go up.

No one seemed surprised by this.

Xia Yan followed the others with curiosity.

He really wanted to ask about the Latios Pokémon egg, but the occasion didn't seem right, so he had to suppress his thoughts.

soon.

The group then reached the top of the escalator.

It's a tree hole.

Inside, there were no fancy decorations, only a platform in the middle of the tree hole.

On the platform, Xia Yan saw a fist-sized, emerald-green gem.

It emitted a faint glow, within which a mysterious power seemed to flow.

At the center of the gemstone is engraved a symbol that, at first glance, looks like a triangle.

Delta!

This is the grass-green pearl that corresponds to the vermilion pearl and the azure pearl.

Can you contact or even summon Rayquaza's gems?

Once inside the tree hollow, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Yan.

Xia Yan was taken aback when he noticed their gazes.

"What...does this mean?"

Genji smiled and said, "Xia Yan, this is why I called you here."

"Ok?"

“This is a precious jewel passed down through generations of the ‘Meteor People.’ It is said to be able to contact or even summon the legendary Rayquaza, but ordinary people cannot do it; only the legendary ‘Child of Prophecy’ can do it,” Genji explained.

The Child of Prophecy......

Xia Yan's lips twitched.

He has never admitted that he is the "Child of Prophecy".

It was all just Long Yan and his group's imagination.

If we're really talking about the "Child of Prophecy," it should be Granny Dragon's granddaughter, Higana, right?

Xia Yan's gaze swept subtly over the girl who was supporting Granny Long.
