Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

In Du's view, Xia Yan had run into his own "gun barrel".

Why not take this opportunity to have a match with Xia Yan?

As for the name "Dodo".

Although most of his Pokémon are Flying-type Pokémon, this was a point made by Xia Yan.

But in fact, some elders in the Dragon Clan had already said something like that to Du.

However, Du didn't take it to heart.

It's his business which elf he chooses.

His bond with each spirit is unaffected by the words of others.

If Lance were to change his Pokémon because of gossip from others, then he wouldn't be the future Dragon-type Elite Four member.

I'm going to use a Flying-type Pokémon to be the Dragon-type Elite Four member.

Anyone who disagrees is welcome to take on the challenge!

That's how tough we are.

This is Wataru's true character; he has absolute confidence in his own abilities.

"I apologize, okay?" Xia Yan sat down next to Du.

At times like this, making excuses is useless.

I'll still follow my heart.

Du glanced at him sideways.

"If you agree to have a match with me, I'll think about it."

Xia Yan's facial muscles twitched.

So in the end it still turned out like this?

Take a deep breath.

"Row!"

Upon hearing this, a triumphant smile appeared on Du's face.

Xia Yan: Keep pretending.

"but......"

Watari's expression turned serious again.

"I only have four main Pokémon. You wouldn't take advantage of me, would you? Or do you want to battle me when my main Pokémon aren't all there? I have no objection."

"Why do you still only have four?" Watari couldn't help but turn around and ask.

Xia Yan shrugged.

"There's no way I can compare to you heirs of big families and big companies. Otherwise, why would I still be writing papers to make money?"

Du slowly furrowed his brow.

"How about you work with me as an investigator for a while? There's a lot of work, but the pay isn't bad."

"Forget it, I'm still a gym leader, I don't have that much time. After today I'll probably be busy with my thesis and training Pokémon again," Xia Yan said with a sigh.

"Theoretically speaking, opening a dojo should be profitable."

"Opening a new dojo is tough..."

"..."

Watching Xia Yan and Du chat, Xiao Chun, sitting on the other side of Du, opened her mouth.

Cousin, did you forget something?

Cynthia covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Xia Yan and Du are really close."

Daigo smacked his lips.

"I'm a little envious."

For people of their status, gaining a few true friends and confidants is not an easy task.

"It's not like you guys have a bad relationship with Xia Yan," Kona couldn't help but say.

Upon hearing this...

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Having such a friend is truly a blessing in life.

The group watched with amusement as Xia Yan used a "joking and teasing" approach.

They managed to fool Du.

Du didn't dwell on the matter too much and just went along with Xia Yan's lead.

At this moment, Cynthia, who was sitting opposite Xia Yan, frowned slightly as she watched him adjust his hat.

"Have you guys noticed... Xia Yan's hat and his movements...?"

Daigo and Kona also looked in the direction she was looking.

"Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit true." Daigo nodded.

"It's a coincidence... but if I had to say, it's not unacceptable," Kona said hesitantly.

After a slight hesitation, Daigo asked, "Xia Yan, do you know about what happened with Kyogre and Groudon a few days ago?"

"Of course I've been paying attention to something this important."

"Do you know if anyone knows that someone rode on Rayquaza's back that day?" Daigo continued.

As a native of the Hoenn region, Steven has a lot of say in this matter.

"I know." Xia Yan paused for a moment, noticing the look in the three people's eyes.

"Wait, you don't think that person wearing a hat is me, do you? There are so many people wearing hats, what are you thinking!"

“I didn’t think so at first, but after what happened today, Xia Yan, if you say it was you, I believe you,” Kona said.

“My intuition tells me that it’s not impossible,” Cynthia thoughtfully echoed.

Xia Yan: "..."

If your intuition is always this accurate, then we can't be friends anymore.

Do you really think everyone looks like him?

Variety Natsuhiko?

Chapter 115 Hunter Z

late at night.

The research institute, its lights gradually dimming.

A dark figure flashed past swiftly within the research institute, leaving no trace whatsoever. Even the weeds on the ground did not sway in the slightest at the movement of the figure.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see that as the person moves, a thin thread shoots out from his sleeve.

Whether it sticks to tree branches or to buildings, it has extremely strong toughness.

That's the main reason why he can move so quickly.

Of course, his own abilities and skills are also an important factor.

A Spider-Man from an elf world?

Hidden in the shadows, Xia Yan witnessed this scene and couldn't help but chuckle twice.

The opponent was very agile and seemed very confident in his abilities, and his ability and awareness to use shadows were also quite outstanding.

If Xia Yan hadn't been paying close attention, he probably wouldn't have noticed his actions.

Most importantly, his clothes seemed to be coated with some kind of special material, so ordinary superpowers could not detect his presence.

He's practically a born assassin.

Or to be more precise, he was a ninja.

Watching the other person's figure flash past in front of his door, a light letter slowly slipped through the crack in the door after he left.

"sigh?"

The Shielded Swordsman peeked out from the shadows, watching the figure quickly disappear into the distance.

Xia Yan smiled and patted the sword hilt.

"No need, he's just a messenger."

"Sigh..." The Shielded Sword Monster nodded thoughtfully.

After confirming that Xia Yan was safe, he disappeared into the shadows once again.

"I knew I'd receive some invitations after my identity was revealed, but I didn't expect things to move so quickly," Xia Yan muttered to himself.

Turning his head, he looked towards the brightly lit Kureha City, not far from the research institute.

"A ninja trained by A-Ju?"

No wonder it's said that among the Rockets' three top executives, the one you need to be least careful of is the hot-tempered Lt. Surge, while the one you should be most wary of is the ninja, A-Ju.

Because once you provoke Ah Ju, you'll never know if the next bite of food you eat will be poisonous.

These are only Ah Ju's subordinates.

Heaven knows how strong A-Ju's assassination skills are.

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy.

If Ah-Ju had been willing, of the three current top executives, Ma-Sze and Natsu might not even have known how they died.

Perhaps Sabrina, as an adult or Sabrina who has fully unleashed her superpowers, will be able to defeat A-Ju's assassination attempt.
