Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

But he quickly shook his head.

"Not necessarily. Even if collecting crystals is troublesome and difficult, according to my estimate, it won't take more than a few months."

Suddenly.

Just as Xia Yan was pondering.

In the distance, in the direction from which the stream flows.

In the dim and quiet place, a Taoist figure appeared.

Let's just call it a human figure.

At such a distance, and in the darkness of night, Xia Yan could only see a blurry outline, barely able to distinguish where the head was and where the hands were.

Only a pair of bright eyes.

Like two dazzling gems, like two bright stars in the night.

When Xia Yan saw him, the man's gaze also turned towards Xia Yan.

Or.

It landed on the "bowl" in Xia Yan's hand.

Xia Yan did not harbor any hostility towards the unknown humans who had been living here for an unknown period of time.

But they didn't show much friendliness either.

They just silently watched each other.

The man stood still, staring at Xia Yan for a long time.

Just as Xia Yan was about to try to communicate with the other person, he saw the person turn around and disappear into the dense forest with extremely agile movements.

Xia Yan opened his mouth.

He looked down at the vessel in his hand again.

He stood silently in place for a long time without making any move, until Dorombalto next to him gently nudged him, and Xia Yan finally gathered his scattered thoughts.

Seeing humans in the alternate dimension of Rayquaza was something he never expected.

As for what attitude to take, or even whether to contact him at all, I haven't decided yet.

There are many reasons.

The main reason is that we can't be sure whether the other party is friendly or how strong they are, but we also want to learn more about this alternate dimension from that person.

He shook his head and slowly exhaled.

"Well, we should still give it a try. If that person isn't hostile, we can try to make contact. If they are hostile, we need to deal with the trouble as soon as possible. It's just that we'll probably have to change our sleeping place tonight."

Carrying the cleaned rabbit meat, I simply roasted and ate half of it.

Then he left quickly.

After Xia Yan left.

It was probably around midnight.

The resting place that Xia Yan had originally chosen.

In the hazy darkness of night, a lithe figure darted swiftly through the forest, moving with the speed of an elf despite being human.

And the movements were very light, without making much noise.

However, this person's attire and appearance were rather slovenly.

His messy hair hung down to his slightly protruding chest, like a clump of weeds. He was wearing simply treated fur instead of clothes, and he was barefoot, stepping on the trees without making a sound.

pat-

They nimbly jumped down from the tree.

Amidst his thick hair, his straight nose, though slightly stained with dirt, twitched slightly.

When she saw her lost wooden dish and half a portion of roasted meat placed beside the extinguished campfire under the tree, her bright eyes shone even brighter.

He took a few steps to the campfire ashes and picked up the wooden bowl.

The enticing aroma made her mouth water, and she was about to grab a bite when she heard a sound behind her.

"Roar--!!"

In the darkness of night, there was a gigantic figure.

"Shh!"

She immediately gestured for the figure to whisper.

"Roar~~"

Sure enough, the enormous being lowered its voice.

So she thought for a moment, then cut the roasted meat in her hand in half and tossed one half behind her back.

It was swallowed in one gulp.

She sat down on the floor and started eating.

Only then did she notice that there was another line of text next to where the wooden bowl had been placed.

"Is it tasty?"

however.

She tilted her head.

They didn't seem to understand what those words meant.

Pick up a branch from the side.

I drew a smiley face on the ground.

After doing all that, under the watchful eyes of those like copper bells behind her, she swallowed hard and finished the rest of the roasted meat in big bites.

Clap your hands contentedly.

Take a leap.

It jumped onto the back of that huge figure.

Just then, a gentle breeze swept by, rustling the leaves and ruffling her disheveled hair.

Under the not-so-bright glow, a dusty but still discernible face appeared, revealing a delicate appearance of about fourteen or fifteen years old.

And on her body, there was that grotesque creature that reflected a hint of golden metallic luster.

Chapter 82 Forest Doctor

The next day.

Latios and Ievils were whispering to each other.

"Bu-i~~"

'Looking so intently, what are you looking at?'

“Os~” Latios shook his head.

I don't know.

"Buyi?"

'Could it be constipation?'

Upon hearing this, Latios and the Infernape next to it both looked at it simultaneously.

Ibrahimovic quickly covered his mouth, his little eyes darting around, clearly realizing he had said the wrong thing.

"Bu-i~ Bu-i~"

'You two, don't you dare tell on me later.'

"Os~ Os~"

Don't worry, don't worry.

Latios slapped his chest repeatedly.

What is Xia Yan doing right now?

He was looking at the smiling face left on the ground by the person from last night.

"A smiley face...is that a gesture of goodwill? At least it shows friendliness. Is it because you can't read, or are you just too lazy to write?"

Xia Yan rubbed his chin.

He left the wooden bowl and half a portion of roast meat yesterday, also as a test.

When I came to check in the morning, the wooden bowl and the roasted meat were indeed gone.

The person replied with a smiley face after I left a message, so at least they weren't hostile.

Besides the smiling face, there were also two huge footprints left on the ground.

These are clearly the footprints of some kind of elf.

In other words.

That person must also have spirits.

However, judging from the footprints alone, it's impossible to identify what kind of spirit it is; all we can know is that it must be a large one.

The footprints were very deep, and the ground was severely sunken.

"As for the bones..."

Xia Yan was also very curious.

He clearly left half a portion of roasted meat, but only a quarter of the bones remained.

"Never mind. Let's just categorize it as low-risk for now. If they're willing to contact me, they'll probably reappear. If they're not... that's fine too."

You can't figure it out just by thinking about it.
