Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The silver powder that used to shimmer with a silvery light lost its luster, as if it had completely fused with Beedrill's body, so there was no need to worry about it falling off during battle.

Of course, if you shine a high-intensity light on a bee, you will see that it reflects silvery light.

"Hiss!" Beedrill felt the poison energy fermenting within its body, and also felt the bug-type energy with a faint coolness from the silver powder outside its body.

I truly experienced what it means to experience both extremes of hot and cold.

It's still that kind of friendly, contrasting experience.

He seemed somewhat excited as he rubbed the two needles together.

Seeing that it clearly couldn't sleep, Xia Yan smiled and said, "In that case, let's strike while the iron is hot and start training."

"Hiss!"

This is exactly what Beedrill wanted.

"Training should combine speed with technique. Try to increase the power of your moves by using your speed during rapid movement or maneuvering. First, you need to push your speed to its limit..."

Beedrill still hasn't learned many speed-related moves. This could not only increase its own strength, but also perhaps guide Beedrill to learn some speed-related moves, such as "Agility," "U-Aerial," and "U-Tap."

This also includes moves such as "Deadly Needle" and "Straight Drill".

"Beedrill, try spinning yourself during your attack, just like you did when you used Counter Shield..."

Rotation is also suitable for increasing power.

Chapter Twenty-Two: I Just Want to Bring Glory to the Club

"Teacher, that 'Dodo bird' replied to your message!"

A tall, beautiful, and sweet-looking female intern with long blue-purple hair, wearing a white researcher's uniform that still couldn't hide her figure, looked at the reply on the computer and called out to researcher Sakuragi, who was observing the Ditto.

This is the Eevee Evolution Laboratory in Vermilion City, Kanto region. The girl speaking is a student of Researcher Sakuragi, and also serves as his assistant.

"Oh? Kikuna, what did he say?"

Sakuragi sped up his note-taking and asked without turning his head.

"He said... he's very grateful for your affirmation, teacher, and hopes to have the opportunity to discuss things with you in more depth." Kikuna relayed the message intermittently, following Natsuhiko's reply.

“Please reply to him for me, say ‘No problem,’” Sakuragi said.

"Okay, teacher." Kikuna tapped on the keyboard, about to reply, but then thought about it again and it didn't seem quite right, so she said:

"Teacher, I suggest you don't reply like that. This 'Dodo Bird' seems to rarely log in. Continuing to chat like this... is not a solution."

Sakuragi finally finished his observation report on Ditto today while speeding up, and walked to the computer.

“That’s true. If we only reply once a week, this topic might get a bit long.”

Kikuna nodded in agreement.

"Teacher, why don't we just ask him for his contact information? That would make communication easier," Kikuna suggested.

After a slight hesitation, Sakuragi said, "Okay, you can ask him for help and give him the research institute's contact information directly. At the same time, see if you can get his contact information."

"Ok."

Following Sakuragi's instructions, Kikuna sent a private message to the "Dodo Bird".

"By the way, Kikuna, has the batch of Eevee I requested arrived yet?" Sakuragi asked again.

If we're going to study Eevee's evolved form, how can we proceed without a physical entity?

However, he applied for them all through the League's official channels, and those Eevee Pokémon, like Ditto, were high-quality Pokémon bred by the League.

These are all support policies open to researchers and even PhDs who have sufficient ability and reputation.

"Teacher, your standards are quite high. These high-quality Ibrahimovic champions aren't easy to cultivate, so..."

Sakuragi frowned.

"But teacher, the League said that not many Eevee eggs have already hatched. They can provide some high-quality Eevee eggs, with both parents being top-tier Eevee-type Pokémon. It is estimated that these eggs will hatch within one to two months at most."

This seems to be a compromise.

"That's settled then. I'm already eager to uncover more mysteries about Eevee's evolutions."

"Ok."

Kikuna nodded, watching Sakuragi turn back to his research, and sighed silently.

"The teacher is truly a passionate Pokémon researcher, but perhaps that's precisely why she's achieved so many outstanding results..."

...

...

More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

With no worries about resources for the time being, Xia Yan was able to stay home and train Beedrill in the backyard.

The rate of growth is becoming increasingly visible.

However, to his surprise, Casey's growth period ended much later than he had imagined.

I just don't know if it was influenced by Yuzira.

Xia Yan didn't pay too much attention to the fact that his growth period ended late.

Raising Pokémon is not something that can be done overnight; it can very well be a lifelong endeavor.

This allows Casey to have more happy times; once she finishes her growth period and transforms into a true elf, she probably won't be so carefree anymore.

But it should be soon, within the next day or two.

Not only him, but Casey also sensed that its growth period should end in the next day or two.

Therefore, it cherishes the present moment all the more...

Go to sleep as soon as possible.

I need to sleep for more than 20 hours every day.

Besides training, Xia Yan attended several gatherings, but mostly without any gains. He only bought a manual of the "Sharpening" techniques, along with accompanying training resources and equipment, spending 100,000 Alliance Coins.

Through the training methods provided, Beedrill successfully learned the "Sharpen" move from scratch.

Through training, tailwind, air gathering, and tempering have become instinctive for Beedrill during training.

Today, he's going out for a rare occasion.

He received a call from the club informing him that he had a good task to complete today.

So Xia Yan put away the Beedrill, picked up Casey who was sleeping awkwardly on her back, threw her into the inner pocket of his clothes, left the house where he had stayed for more than half a month, and headed to the club.

Upon arriving at the club, I saw Hazel, who was supposed to be at the front desk, standing at the entrance, seemingly looking around at something.

The already ornate club entrance has been further decorated.

The red carpet and flowers were all that were missing was a group of scantily clad ushers.

Are you waiting for me?

Xia Yan couldn't help but let his imagination run wild, then he chuckled self-deprecatingly.

What is he thinking? Has he already reached the age where he thinks with his lower body?

When she saw Xia Yan, Zhenzi's eyes lit up and she waved to him.

"Xia Yan."

"What's going on? Why all the fuss?" Xia Yan asked as he stepped forward.

Hazel looked around and then whispered, "Someone's coming to challenge us today."

"Challenge?"

Is this thing still popular in this world?

Besides, who would dare to challenge the Silver Pokémon Battle Club's arena?

"Well, it's said that a club from Yuhong City is going to open a branch in Jinhuang City and wants to use our club to make a name for themselves."

"Oh."

Xia Yan nodded calmly, then said, "They're here to challenge us, and we're making such a big fuss?"

"No, it's not that. The point isn't about challenging us. The point is that someone from the company is coming over today... supposedly a senior executive from a large company in the Hoenn region, who's in charge of negotiating a partnership with our parent company. He'd like to visit our club today."

The club from Yuhong City seized this opportunity to come and challenge us.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan understood.

So, is Hazelnut here waiting for that executive from another region?

"Why not just have the supervisor gather a group of top-tier sparring partners to crush them? Why make it so complicated?"

“But they said they’re only sending a group of intermediate-level sparring partners for a ‘friendly’ exchange. How can we send advanced-level sparring partners…” Hazel’s voice trailed off.

Also.

Xia Yan nodded. Everyone knew that the Silver Elf Battle Club was powerful, but that power lay in their high-level sparring partners. The opponent was quite clever, too.

"But what does this have to do with me? I don't have time to get involved in this kind of thing." Xia Yan shrugged and turned to leave.

“Winning a match will reward you with 30,000 Alliance Coins,” Hazelnut quickly said.

"I......"

"They say there's even a secret manual as a reward!"

"I......"

"There's also the opportunity to be promoted to a senior sparring partner!"

"Well, I just wanted to bring glory to the club."

Xia Yan turned around again.

Step directly into the club.

Looking at the speed of his steps, Hazel couldn't help but purse her lips.

Are all men like this?
