Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"They actually managed to take down a trainer who was close to Elite Four level..."

...

Meanwhile, Gengar, who was carrying Kikuko away at high speed, looked somewhat aggrieved, whereas he had been arrogant before.

He raised his arm in front of Kikuko.

On its arm, there was a deep tooth mark, with a faint aura of malevolent energy swirling around it.

"Hehehe..."

After glancing at Gengar's arm, Kikuko, who was sitting cross-legged on Gengar's back, patted it.

"I'll have that kid make it up to you later."

Upon hearing this, Gengar nodded repeatedly, then quickly revealed a sly smile.

Kikuko squinted and muttered to herself, "That old guy does have some skill. But it's a pity he's old; his condition can no longer meet his Pokémon's requirements. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome. That Tyranitar is quite good..."

"Jie Jie!"

“Yes, you are stronger.” Kikuko responded with a smile to Gengar’s rebuttal.

"Hehehe?"

"Don't worry, he won't and wouldn't dare to tell the Alliance. Putting aside whether what he's done over the years can withstand investigation, given his pride, he wouldn't dare to talk about such a shameful thing. At most, he'd just announce that he's practicing new moves."

Kikuko was very certain of this.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to let Xia Yan cause trouble for Hoshino Ryuichi.

It's because although this old guy is very shrewd, saving face has nothing to do with being shrewd.

"Hehehe?"

"Heh—that kid isn't safe. It's just that some attacks have shifted from the open to the covert. But my apprentice is no pushover either; he'll handle things covertly in his own way."

Does he really think of me as his nanny? I'm already doing him a favor by helping him with the public issues.

Upon hearing this, Gengar curled its lip.

Kikuko said that, but what she did was almost like that of a nanny.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings went to cause trouble for another of the Four Heavenly Kings because of a little guy.

This has never happened since the alliance was founded.

But to be honest, this protective nature is quite to Gengar's liking.

Ryuichi Hoshino and his Tyranitar could not be a perfect match.

But Agatha and Gengar are truly birds of a feather.

Chapter 81 Humans in Another Dimension!

Bang! !

Infernape's "Fire Punch" knocked out the last shrubbery.

Xia Yan sprayed two antidote sprays on Infernape and Latios.

He took the colorful crystal that Ibu brought him.

He now has four pieces in his hand, but he doesn't show any sign of happiness on his face.

When will this little bit of collecting ever end?

Leaving aside the exact amount needed to satisfy the Heavenly Pillar's requirements, it's likely that he'll run out of potions before that time even arrives.

unless.

He gave up the idea of ​​training Latios, Infernape, and Eevee.

Sending Beedrill and the like would be much more efficient and reduce the chance of them getting injured.

While freeing Latios, its "healing wave" can also play a certain auxiliary role.

But Xia Yan really didn't want to waste such an opportunity.

Infernape and Eevee are alright.

If Latios weren't in another dimension, he would be far too conspicuous outside.

If someone sees it, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.

Although Xia Yan's strength is gradually increasing, it's best to avoid troublesome and pointless things if possible.

This is an excellent opportunity to train Latios.

I looked up at the sky.

"Let's find a place to rest first."

After walking for some time, they had reached the edge of the grassland, near the dense forest.

With considerable experience, I found a place where grassland meets forest, a place with dense vegetation and a stream flowing through it, as my temporary resting place for the day.

They summoned all the elves.

Prepare dinner for them one by one.

Then Xia Yan took Duolongbalut to the stream to clean a rabbit he had casually caught during the day.

When Xia Yan went out, he didn't bring much else, but energy cubes were the thing he was least worried about, even though there were several big eaters in the team.

He brought not only energy cubes, but also various tree fruits, as well as a complete set of equipment made from energy cubes.

Even if things don't go perfectly, there should be plenty of tree fruits growing in this vast alternate dimension, which can be used to make energy blocks.

While slowly cleaning the rabbit's internal organs, he asked, "Dragon Baluto, is that 'Dragon Crystal'?"

Dorombalut followed beside Xia Yan.

Within this alternate dimension, it no longer needs to become invisible to conceal its presence.

"Baruya".

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan was slightly taken aback.

"Is that so? It's not pure Dragon Crystal; it contains some kind of special power."

It seems this can only be used as a tool for climbing the Heavenly Pillar.

Unless a way is found to remove the impurities.

But Xia Yan is increasingly confused about why Rayquaza brought him and Latios here.

Just to test them?

Why did they climb Tianzhu?

"Baruya!"

Suddenly.

Dorambaruto called out to Xia Yan, bringing the somewhat absent-minded Xia Yan back to his senses.

Then you see it.

On the not-too-swift stream, a brown wooden object floated by.

Xia Yan picked it up almost instinctively to take a look.

Then I was completely stunned.

An expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"This is......."

Looking at the somewhat old but still sturdy wooden item in my hand.

It's easy to tell that this was originally a piece of wood, hollowed out in the middle, and then heated with fire to create...

bowl?

Elves don't use such things.

Unless it's an elf like the Gorilla, whose intelligence far surpasses that of ordinary humans and whose behavior imitates humans.

But Xia Yan quickly realized that this was not something made by a certain elf.

because.

The surface of this wooden bowl is covered with numerous dark fingerprints.

Some memories have faded, but others remain vivid.

These fingerprints left on unpolished wooden bowls are very difficult to clean.

It was these fingerprints that convinced Xia Yan that this was a tool made by a human.

Stand up slowly.

Looking in the direction the stream was flowing.

"So, there are still humans living in this alternate dimension?"

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Rayquaza usually lives in the ozone layer and rarely descends to the Pokémon world. If it needs to, it will probably enter its own alternate dimension, such as to have a feast.

Then the problem is coming.

When did Rayquaza, which doesn't usually appear in the Pokémon world, send humans here?

"Could it be some ancient monster that's lived for who knows how many years...?"

This absurd thought popped into Xia Yan's mind.

"The last recorded appearance of Rayquaza was at least several decades ago. Even if Rayquaza teleported people in back then, that was still quite a long time ago."

Xia Yan muttered to himself again.

"They haven't left yet after all this time..."

Could it be that I'll be stuck here for decades?
