Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan was also a little surprised by the reaction of the doll.

Logically speaking, since you, the forest doctor, have such a great influence, why don't you go out and send those disturbed wild elves back?

However, the doll's reaction was so strong that it defied common sense.

"Budobudo!"

The doll looked worried and, without explaining to Xia Yan, started working on him directly.

That's how it is.

Xia Yan doesn't want to leave, but Infernape won't leave.

result.

When the doll realized it couldn't push them, it puffed out its cheeks.

They actually picked up Xia Yan and the Fire Monkey and carried them on their backs.

That's right.

They shouldered it.

That seemingly frail body unleashed an exceptionally terrifying power.

Xia Yan is one thing.

He's just a human, and although he's a superhuman, his superpowers are only good for dealing with ordinary Pokémon. However, they're not enough to deal with elite Pokémon or even higher-level Pokémon.

However, Infernape is still an elite-level Pokémon, and it is a Fighting-type Pokémon. Moreover, after training with Bewear, its strength, while not exceptionally high, is at least top-tier among elite-level Pokémon.

Almost a Pokémon like Pikachu, which shouldn't have much fighting power, actually managed to carry Infernape on its back.

No matter how much it struggled, it was all in vain.

This was also Xia Yan's first time experiencing being carried by an elf.

The doll carried them to the cave entrance, cautiously peered around, and breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that no elves had arrived yet.

Put Xia Yan and the Fire Monkey on the ground.

"Budo, Budo—"

He gestured for them to hurry up and leave.

Xia Yan and the Fire Monkey were unharmed. Although the Doll was strong, it knew its limits and did not hurt them.

This made Xia Yan even more curious.

Why did it react so strongly?

After a moment's thought, Xia Yan decided to go along with what the doll wanted.

But they didn't leave; instead, they hid in an inconspicuous tree canopy in a shady corner of the hillside.

Seeing Xia Yan and the others disappear, almost doll breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he hurriedly pulled some tree branches from the cave entrance next to him to barely cover himself again.

Although such pretense is just deceiving oneself.

soon.

The commotion grew louder and louder as a large number of wild spirits gathered in front of the cave.

There were Scyther and Rogue Panda that Xia Yan had seen before, as well as dozens of Pokémon groups of all sizes, such as Dragon Scorpion, Centipede King, Kairos, Arbok, and Toad King, which he had never seen before.

This setup truly lives up to the nickname "Forest Doctor" for the Almost Doll.

But after observing, Xia Yan discovered something very interesting.

Those were the two groups of Rogue Panda and Scyther, along with some scattered Pokémon standing at the cave entrance.

The other elves, however, all stood on the opposite side, looking like they were eyeing the cave covetously.

Seeing this, Xia Yan understood why the doll had reacted so strongly before.

In such a wild environment, wild Pokémon understand just how valuable a Pokémon with super healing abilities can be.

Almost Doll is indeed a "forest doctor".

"But it seems these wild elves all want to capture it and take it back," Xia Yan muttered, clicking his tongue.

Isn't Xia Yan one of them?

He simply didn't want to resort to violence unless absolutely necessary.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will need the help of the doll for a long time to come.

Wild elves are mostly less intelligent than humans.

But that doesn't mean they lack intelligence or that they are stupid.

Just like back in the alternate dimension of Regigigas, Sakura and the others were able to have a comfortable home only under the protection of a powerful Heracross.

If even cherry blossoms in groups are like this, imagine how bad it is for a single, almost identical doll.

Pokémon with healing abilities are rare and valuable "resources" both in the human world and in the wild world where they live.

Then Xia Yan saw that the two sides started fighting without much communication.

The purpose of the previous competition between the rogue panda and the flying mantis to hone their abilities comes into play here.

however.

Even if they are strong, they can't possibly be a match for so many of the other side's Pokémon.

Moreover, many of them are elves who like to use poison.

Most importantly, among these wild Pokémon eyeing the cave, there was even one with near-Elite Four level strength.

And there was more than one.

A centipede king with near-heavenly king strength.

And a Dragon King Scorpion with near-Elite Four strength.

However, looking at the size of the groups these two elves are accompanied by, one can roughly understand the situation.

If both large groups are provided with full support, they can be sustained.

And most importantly.

Poison-type Pokémon are probably the easiest to grow in the wild.

Firstly, because they can use poison to reduce the number of direct combat engagements, thus minimizing injuries and the number of hidden wounds.

Secondly, there are Poison-type Pokémon, which are among the few that can improve themselves by eating other Pokémon.

Because other Pokémon cannot gain much improvement by hunting other Pokémon; at most, it's just for survival and to fill their stomachs.

however.

Poison-type Pokémon are different.

They can increase their poison and strength by consuming the poison sacs of other Pokémon.

Just like a long time ago, when Xia Yan was still in Goldenrod City, when he first met Lance, the book about Poison-type Pokémon that Lance recommended to Xia Yan contained the methods used by people in ancient times to train and enhance the toxicity of Poison-type Pokémon.

This is also a method used by Beedrill when it was still a unicorn to enhance its venom.

That kind of method is similar to raising poisonous insects.

This method was developed by ancient humans through observation of wild spirits and their own practical experience.

It was simply because it was too cruel that it was not respected by the league and was eventually forgotten by most people.

Today, only a very small number of people in the branch still know about it and are secretly using this method.

But just because trainers don't use them doesn't mean wild Pokémon don't.

Especially in other dimensions like this one, which are isolated from the outside world, wild elves live entirely on instinct.

Poison-type Pokémon can improve themselves in this way, and with the resources provided by two large groups, it's understandable that two Pokémon at near-Elite rank would emerge.

Moreover.

Both Centipede King and Dragon King Scorpion are insects. Although Dragon King Scorpion lost its insect-type attribute after evolution, it is undeniable that they are still insects.

The most powerful aspect of insect spirits lies in their reproductive ability.

With so many Pokémon, plus two near-Elite Four level Pokémon, the Rogue Panda and Scyther were forced into a series of defeats.

"Budo—!!"

Just as the rogue panda and the flying mantises were falling one by one, barely able to hold on, Almost Doll finally couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Loud noise!

This time they really used their moves.

The baby's cries brought the fighting outside to a halt.

They walked out of the cave step by step.

Looking at the rogue panda and flying mantis lying in front of the cave, Lan Wangwang's eyes welled up with tears, and he twitched his nose.

Upon seeing the appearance of the doll, the attacking sprites all stopped what they were doing and stared at it with envy.

"Tsk, what a hot commodity."

Xia Yan, who had witnessed the whole thing from the shadows, clicked his tongue.

He said he wanted an elf that could master healing abilities, but why was it so difficult?

Seeing how the little creature looked like a lamb to the slaughter under the watchful eyes of a group of wild elves, I understand now.

It's true that wild Pokémon with healing abilities are highly sought after in the wild.

But it wasn't as exaggerated as it is today.

After all, not every Pokémon will be kind enough to help heal other Pokémon.

In other words, it's like the Little Doll, a simple-minded and kind-hearted elf who will take the initiative to help other elves.

This little doll is already considered one of the more famous "forest doctors" in this forest.

Let me tell you about what happened to the almost-doll.
