Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Xia Yan was initially speculating whether these crystals were deliberately scattered by Lie Kongzuo.

Thinking about it later, given Liekongzuo's arrogant nature, he probably wouldn't do something so pointless.

Xia Yan even speculated whether these seven-colored and five-colored crystals might be related to the meteorite that crashed into the Pokémon world, bringing about Mega Evolution.

After all, most of the origins of Mega Evolution in the Pokémon world come from that meteorite, and Rayquaza also underwent Mega Evolution with the help of that meteorite.

But Xia Yan later rejected it.

Rayquaza's Mega Evolution actually relies on a special organ in its body called the "Emperor Organ," which can store the energy from meteorites that Rayquaza instinctively ingests in the atmosphere.

When Rayquaza undergoes Mega Evolution, the Emperor Organ acts as Rayquaza's Mega Stone and Key Stone, resonating with each other to complete the Mega Evolution.

did not expect.

After going around in circles, it finally landed on Latios.

Meanwhile, Dorambaruto, who was standing next to him, slowly showed a look of realization after hearing Xia Yan say "infinite energy".

Why is there so much dragon-type energy mixed in?

As Latios continued to output its boundless energy, more and more crystals were incorporated into the rainbow crystal.

And the more it is incorporated, the more dazzling its light becomes.

I don't know how long it lasted.

After the last piece of the five-colored crystal disappeared, the light emitted by the seven-colored crystal even illuminated the night in this area.

No one noticed that Ono, who was standing next to Xia Yan, was tilting his head, blinking his eyes, and looking at the dazzling crystal in front of Latios with some curiosity.

This thing...

“Os…”

Latios stopped moving and took two heavy breaths.

The light emitted by the crystal also subsided in an instant, slowly returning to calm.

Xia Yan reached out and caught it.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It's so heavy.

The thumb-sized crystal didn't show much change in size, but its weight seemed to combine the weight of all the crystals combined.

He held it out in his palm and examined it carefully for a moment.

I still can't see any difference.

"Latios." Xia Yan handed the crystal to it.

Latios exhaled again, understanding Xia Yan's meaning, nodded, and accepted the crystal.

Then a serious expression appeared on his face, and he folded his wings.

Like a sharp arrow, it shot straight up into the sky.

Whether it can work or not depends on this.

Watching Latios charge forward, Xia Yan murmured, "It's even faster now."

All I saw was...

Latios encountered almost no hindrance and broke through the convection barrier in the blink of an eye, flying to an extremely high altitude.

And there, they flew freely, completely at ease.

"It's done."

Xia Yan and Xiao Ye both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although we don't yet know if Latios' current height is different from the top of the Sky Pillar, we'll find out once the Pokémon have recovered and we can try it out.

It can overcome the limitations of convection, and after flying at high altitude, the distance from here to Tianzhu will not take much time.

It's much more convenient than fighting your way through the ground bit by bit.

If the height is still not up to standard, just collect some more ordinary crystals. This is not troublesome for Xia Yan at the moment.

"Os!"

After circling in the sky, Latios returned excitedly, the excitement in his eyes not yet completely gone.

"it is good."

Xia Yan smiled and patted Latios's neck.

"Xia Yan, when are we leaving?" Ono asked impatiently.

"Let's rest for the night. I still have some things to do tomorrow. We'll give it a try after we're done." Xia Yan looked out at the desolate, pitch-black canyon.

"All right......"

Ono responded.

...

...

Silent all night.

The next morning.

Just as dawn was breaking.

Xia Yan tucked the fur around Ono's body, then gave a look to the Kommo-o, which had woken up after hearing the noise.

He gestured for himself to leave for a moment, and that he would be right back.

The Scaled Dragon blinked, indicating that it understood.

He continued to watch over Ono until he fell asleep.

Both it and Ono were seriously injured yesterday, so Ono slept very soundly and even snored slightly.

After leaving the camp, Xia Yan led the elf and strode into the canyon.

There.

It's the place where the three-headed dragon flew out yesterday, which is also the three-headed dragon's lair.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be some good stuff in its lair.

Xia Yan deliberately memorized the location where the three evil dragons emerged.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered.

It is a cave located on a cliff in a canyon.

As soon as Xia Yan stood at the cave entrance, the stench that hit him almost made him lose his temper.

He immediately activated his superpower to block out the smell, but his face still turned pale and then flushed from the fumes.

Yesterday, the three-headed dragon didn't smell that strong, so why does its place smell so bad?

Alakazam held up a spoon and released a "flash" that illuminated the cave.

Deeper into the wide cave.

There shouldn't be any wild Pokémon in the cave where Hydreigon lives, so Xia Yan walked quickly.

Before long, we arrived at the deepest part of the cave, a karst cave with a wide view.

In the very center is a place made entirely of stones, resembling a bird's nest. The stones on top have been completely worn smooth.

They arrived at the lair of the three-headed dragon.

Xia Yan saw two black, palm-sized scales with strange patterns on them.

And here comes the harvest!

"Dragon scales from a Champion-level Dragon-type Pokémon." Xia Yan picked up the two dragon scales with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, Dragon-type Pokémon will not voluntarily shed their dragon scales.

Because any scale that can form a "Dragon Scale" item must be the reverse scale of a Dragon-type Pokémon.

Actively removing their scales can cause them significant damage.

But if it falls off naturally, that's a different story.

It's unclear how long this three-headed dragon has lived here, but it's quite normal for it to have shed two of its reverse scales.

The "Dragon Scale" of a Champion-level Dragon-type Pokémon is quite valuable.

"This is....."

After picking up the two dragon scales, Xia Yan saw two palm-sized, pure black, crystal-like objects below.

"Whoosh."

Hu Di, however, provided Xia Yan with an answer.

"A Dark-type Pure Crystal?"

Similar to the item used to evolve Cynthia's Eevee into Glaceon in the Articuno's Nest at Mt. Coronet.

It can be considered a purely malignant energy crystallization.

It can be used on some Dark-type Pokémon to increase their energy purity.

Or to put it more simply, you could hand it over to some Pokémon item forging masters, who could create several pairs of "black glasses" that could enhance the power of Dark-type Pokémon moves.

Both are good choices.

After wandering around again, besides the skeletons scattered everywhere, there were actually some things that were somewhat valuable.

But the main ones are these two "Dragon Scales" and two "Evil Pure Crystals".

The harvest was decent, but it was a little less than Xia Yan had expected.

I had initially thought that the lair of a Champion-level Dragon-type Pokémon would hold something even more valuable.

"Let's go."

Hu nodded, and enveloped in his superpowers, he instantly left the place.
