Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Furthermore, this difficulty increases exponentially with the increase of the Pokémon's strength.

Xia Yan still remembers.

Back then in Golden City.

Kikuko even used her ghost army, but it was still difficult to deal with that rampaging, flashy fire-breathing dragon.

Although it was partly because the shiny Charizard had consumed a large amount of overstimulated Energy Cubes and potions, making its combat power exceed its own strength, and partly because Akiko also had to spare some energy to deal with another Elite Four level trainer's Pokémon, it was particularly difficult.

But that fire-breathing dragon also failed to surpass the Elite Four level.

Even so, Kikuko almost let it escape.

You know, that's Kikuko.

In the Kanto region today, they are almost like the Four Heavenly Kings, representing the pinnacle of the region.

She had such a hard time playing.

This can be seen.

As the Pokémon's strength increases, the gap between each strength level will become larger and more obvious.

If Xia Yan wanted to deal with that Elite Four-level Hydreigon, having all his main Pokémon at the near-Elite Four level might not be enough.

We also need to see what level that three-headed dragon belongs to among the Heavenly Kings.

Of course.

Xia Yan wasn't entirely without a chance.

At least.

Hydreigon, a hybrid of Dark and Dragon types, is four times weak to Fairy-type moves.

If Fairy-type abilities can be used effectively, combined with the "Mist Terrain" ability of the similar-looking doll, there is still a possibility.

But all of this is based on the premise that...

His main Pokémon need to reach the near-Elite Four level.

At least.

Alakazam, Togekiss, and Aegislash all need to reach near-Elite Four level.

Watching Ono and Kommo-o wrestle and test their strength in the open space in the center, Natsuhiko pondered the feasibility of the matter.

'Perhaps... Kommo-o can also be considered one of the battle spirits,' Xia Yan thought to himself.

It just so happens that Ono and his group's target is also the three-headed dragon.

There is a possibility of cooperation.

After a while.

"Ono, do you know anything about that rocky area we just saw? Why were there so many wild Pokémon there, and why were they all so strong?"

Looking at Ono and Kommo-no-Mae, who were sitting on the ground panting and taking a break, Xia Yan couldn't help but ask.

"I do not know."

Ono blinked, looking at Natsuhiko with a very open and innocent expression.

Xia Yan: "..."

Ok.

He seems to have taken things for granted.

"However, those guys in that rocky area fight every few days. A-Wu and I fought them a few times, but there were too many of them, especially the three big guys who attacked you. They were very united, so we backed out." Ono tilted his head and said while recalling.

"Fight? Where will you fight?"

Xia Yan had a sudden thought.

"Hmm... a little deeper in, there's a place that looks like a bowl, it's... a very strange place, isn't it, Takeshi?"

Ono stammered, her limited vocabulary making it difficult for her to clearly explain what she wanted to express.

He was gesturing as he spoke.

Actually, Natsuhiko was quite curious about Ono.

Since she has never had contact with her parents, from whom did she learn these languages?

It couldn't have been self-taught, could it?

Perhaps there are some things he doesn't know about.

However, Xia Yan's focus is no longer on that now.

He frowned slightly after hearing her words.

A bowl-shaped place?

"You mean a mountain valley? Or perhaps a basin?"

"emmm...."

“Okay, tell me the general direction.” Xia Yan rubbed his temples.

"Are you going? Those three big guys were really powerful. If the bad guys hadn't suddenly appeared... they were really strong."

It seems she must have witnessed the power of those three Aggrons.

"I'd like to go and see; perhaps I can find something out," Xia Yan said frankly.

"Then just follow this road, and you should be almost there when you get to the end," Ono said, pointing to one of the winding tunnels in the labyrinth of tunnels.

She knows this place very well.

If Xia Yan hadn't noticed that these tunnels looked like they had been there for a long time, he would have even suspected that she and the Scaled Dragon had dug them.

"it is good."

Xia Yan didn't hesitate and turned to leave.

To obtain the Rainbow Crystal from that Elite Three-Headed Dragon, improving the Pokémon's strength is crucial.

Fortunately.

After a month of reflection, coupled with the intense battles of the past few days, the Pokémon have learned and adapted quickly, and are not far from reaching the level of a near-Elite Four member.

"Then you have to be careful of that bad guy, he might not have gone far," Ono reminded him.

Xia Yan had already walked some distance away and waved to her with his back turned.

Sitting on the ground with Kommo-o, watching Xia Yan's departing figure, Ono propped his head up with his hand.

"Awu, do you think there really is an outside world? The person that Grandpa mentioned, just like me, has appeared."

"Roar—" The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon roared softly, then nodded hesitantly.

Ono's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

What is the outside world like?

“Then we need to train harder. Grandpa said that only by defeating the bad guys and getting the seven-colored stone will we have a chance to leave.”

Ono stood up full of energy.

"Roar!!"

The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon is also full of energy.

It had been dissatisfied with that arrogant three-headed dragon for a long time.

Simultaneously.

It can also sense it clearly.

Ever since it ate those delicious cubes from Xia Yan these past few days, the energy that had been dormant within it for so long seems to be stirring again.

...

...

Follow the tunnel that Ono pointed out.

When you reach the end.

When we stepped back onto the ground, we were still in the rocky area.

I looked up.

They easily found the basin that Ono had mentioned, the one that looked like a "bowl".

There are many wild elves in the area.

Most of them were Rock-type Pokémon with relatively mild temperaments, and they were quite well-behaved as long as he didn't use "Sweet Scent" Honey.

Xia Yan released the elves again.

Seeing that Xia Yan was alright, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Ibu jumped right into Xia Yan's arms, gently nuzzling his chest with his head.

After calming the Pokémon down, Xia Yan asked the person beside him, "Dragonballs, could you handle that Hydreigon from earlier?"

Dorambaruto, who had been hiding, slowly emerged.

"Baruya".

He looked at Xia Yan with a puzzled expression, but nodded without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I don't want you to take action, I just want to find out the strength of those three-headed dragons," Xia Yan explained with a smile.

Doronbaruto suddenly realized, and then said a few more words softly.

"Baruya—"

Although the three-headed dragon made Draco Balto feel somewhat threatened.

However, that's because Dragon-type Pokémon naturally have a rock-paper-scissors relationship with each other, and Hydreigon's Dark type is effective against Ghost type.

According to Dorombalut.

It may get hurt, but the three-headed dragon will definitely lose, and there will be no suspense.
