Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

why?

He couldn't quite understand it.

Xia Yan, this "Hunter N", hasn't he just taken his seat?

They even had the help of Miss Q.

The name "Black Widow Hunter Q" is no secret among the upper echelons of the Hunter Guild.

In the eyes of many, Xia Yan was nothing more than a subordinate whom Miss Q had "favored" for a short time.

Although no one said anything about him using women to rise to power, some people inevitably looked down on Xia Yan behind his back.

They even labeled him as Miss Q's "male concubine".

This is why he wanted to teach Xia Yan a lesson the moment he saw and recognized him.

He's not particularly good-looking, but he has a good presence. Combined with his overall style, although he's not exactly "handsome," he's still quite pleasing to the eye.

Overweight people who aren't particularly good-looking have always looked down on people like this, who resemble "pretty boys."

He won't admit it.

This contempt stems from jealousy.

But now.

The appearance of the three-headed dragon completely numbed the fat man from head to toe.

He held the two Poké Balls tightly in his hands, but dared not throw them.

Seeing the other party's frightened expression, Xia Yan smiled and took out two energy cubes from his pocket, handing them to the three-headed dragon.

The three-headed dragons did not refuse and swallowed them whole.

But the look in his eyes as he looked at the fat man became even more piercing.

The fat man involuntarily took another step back and swallowed hard.

Tap, tap, tap...

The slow, clattering sound of leather shoes on the floor gradually emerged from the dark corridor behind the fat man.

Upon hearing the voice, the fat man immediately suppressed his fear, wiped his forehead with his fat hand, and respectfully stepped aside, his round, fat body even bending slightly.

Xia Yan squinted at the corridor.

Not long after.

The footsteps are getting closer.

The man who slowly walked out was a middle-aged man.

His brown hair was messy, like a bird's nest, and two glistening eyes could be seen at the corners of his sleepy eyes. His hooked nose was unexpectedly conspicuous. He wore a wrinkled brown jacket and a pair of somewhat worn-out leather shoes with his heels exposed, treating the shoes like slippers and stomping around, which made his identity particularly obvious.

The man had one hand in his pocket and the other to his mouth, letting out a long yawn.

He seemed somewhat dejected.

Hunter Z!

A member of the top six seats in the Hunter's Guild.

even.......

He was one of the strongest members of the guild before Tom Ruchi became the highest-ranking member.

This can be seen from the fact that he was able to serve as the head of the Hunter Guild in the Kanto region.

Caught between the League and the Rockets, establishing the Hunter Guild firmly in the Kanto region, and even developing and expanding the Hunter Guild in Kanto, requires not only ability but also strength.

Moreover, given Tomnouchi's personality, if conditions allowed, the Kanto region would definitely be her primary target.

However, she opted for the Johto region as a second choice, and Xia Yan would not believe that the strength of "Hunter Z" did not play a role in this.

The man's sleepy eyes glanced at Xia Yan, lingering for a few seconds on the three-headed dragon beside him.

A glimmer of light flashed in his lazy eyes.

He scratched his head, looked at the fat man standing respectfully beside him, yawned again, and asked, "Ball, what time is it?"

ball?

Xia Yan's lips twitched.

It seems he's not the only one who sees this fat man that way.

The fat guy slapped his forehead. "Boss, it's 1 a.m. now. You've been sleeping for almost sixteen hours. And...didn't we agree not to call me 'Ball'?"

Sixteen hours?

The hook-nosed man suddenly realized.

He waved his hand casually, "Okay, ball. Got it, ball~~"

The fat man looked utterly helpless.

"Also, next time you can wake me up after sleeping for fifteen hours. What kind of life is it to sleep for sixteen hours a day?"

"Wake you up...someone has to dare to do it, boss. You know how grumpy you are in the morning..."

The fat man was interrupted halfway through his sentence by Mr. Z's sharp gaze.

Then Mr. Z looked at Xia Yan again, "You're the N that Q mentioned, right? This three-headed dragon is quite nice."

Xia Yan gently adjusted his hat and said respectfully, "If you don't show something, you might not even be able to get through this door."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Z glanced sideways at the fat man beside him.

But the fat man tilted his head awkwardly, looking as if this had nothing to do with him.

"Alright, Q said you have something to tell me, tell me." Mr. Z still looked very sleepy.

Xia Yan didn't speak, but instead looked around and gave a meaningful smile.

"Oh, I forgot about that."

Noticing Xia Yan's actions, Mr. Z's eyes flickered again, and the drowsiness on his face lessened considerably.

After a snap of the fingers.

Two plump, pinkish-white creatures, curled up and resembling tapirs, appeared with their eyes closed and light pink mist escaping from their nostrils.

It floated to his side.

Dream Erosion!

This is the real reason why Xia Yan summoned the three-headed dragon.

Never underestimate a trainer who has reached the Elite Four level, especially one who is a powerful figure in the underground world.

Even if the other party appears very lazy.

Without any ability or vigilance.

You might unknowingly fall into a dream, or even be hypnotized.

With its ability to devour other people's dreams, Dream Eater could completely present them in its own way, like a movie.

Seeing that the other party had recalled Mengmengshi, Xia Yan let out a soft breath before slowly saying, "Miss Q said... to join forces."

“Hmm…” Mr. Z didn’t seem surprised by Xia Yan’s words, and just gently rubbed his chin.

Then I saw him take out a special communication device.

He threw it at Xia Yan.

"Ask him."

Xia Yan was quite surprised to catch the device.

This device has video calling capabilities, and the video call has been completed.

On the screen displayed on the phone, the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the bright red "r".

But what caught Xia Yan's attention the most was a man sitting under the "r" sign, whose outline could be barely made out in the dim light.

On the table next to it, a cat, its form barely visible, lay sprawled.

The man's hand gently stroked it.

Xia Yan's pupils contracted.

Sakaki!

Chapter 116 "Be My Son"

"Hunter N?"

Sakaki's voice was deep yet not dry, possessing the aura of a superior without being overbearing.

Hearing his voice, Xia Yan suppressed his surprise.

Judging from the fact that Mr. Z can directly contact Sakaki, or even speak with him with a simple phone call, their relationship is probably much closer than Xia Yan and Ms. Q imagined.

As for...

The Hunter Guild stipulates that hunters in each region are only allowed to have trade cooperation with the local forces, and are not allowed to engage in any deeper cooperation. In Xia Yan's opinion, this rule is just a way to deceive himself.

It's hard to say whether Hunter Guilds in the Kanto region could conduct business peacefully without cooperating with Team Rocket.

Besides Team Rocket, who else can devour such a large number of Pokémon?

Selling them individually is certainly one method.

But if we sell them one by one, who knows how long it will take to sell them all.

During this period, the resources consumed by the elves for food and shelter amounted to a huge number every day.

In the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions, where teams like Team Magma and Team Galactic aren't as prominent, trade cooperation alone would certainly suffice.

However, in the Kanto and Johto regions, if you only want to engage in trade cooperation, then you are underestimating Team Rocket and Giovanni himself.

Xia Yan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Holding a phone in one hand, he nodded and said, "Yes, that's me."
