Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The black and yellow elf, its golden fur swaying like a horse's tail, leaped into the air.

Swift and precise punches rained down on one of the Gluttonous King's ferocious tentacles.

coming!

Zeraora!

Xia Yan's narrowed eyes flickered slightly.

however.

The raging Gluttonous King did not stop its attack, and slapped another tentacle toward Zeraora.

"Beedrill, help it," Xia Yan commanded promptly.

"Hiss!"

hum-

The golden light on the giant bee's wings suddenly reappeared, and it flashed to the other tentacle of the Gluttonous King, its crossed needles slashing towards the tentacle.

With the combined efforts of the two elves, they finally managed to stop the Gluttonous King.

"Victory!"

"Hiss!"

Zeraora and Beedrill made eye contact, their shared battle instincts allowing them to understand each other's next move.

Simultaneous exertion!

Zeraora's final kick in "Close Combat" landed on the tentacles of the Gluttonous King.

Beedrill's crimson compound eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a surge of Bug-type energy instantly poured into its two needles. This period of energy utilization was put to practical use in the battle.

It's still a "cross shears" technique, but the power it generates is much greater than before.

It also landed on another tentacle of the Gluttonous King.

The Gluttonous King, whose power surged during its rampage, was actually forced back by them.

Zeraora landed and looked at Beedrill, who had returned at the same time, a look of approval flashing in its eyes.

Beedrill's strength is enough to earn its recognition.

"Zeraora, Plasma Lightning Fist!"

A man dressed in a trench coat and ronin attire also came to Xia Yan and Xiao Zhi's side and gave orders.

Zeraora clasped his hands together, his face contorted with ferocity, blue lightning crackling in his eyes, and lightning blazing between his clasped hands.

"Beedrill," Xia Yan called out.

"Hiss!"

The Beedrill understood, held its breath, and flapped its wings, channeling a fine current into Zeraora's back under its active control.

For a moment, Zeraora seemed to have acquired a giant power bank.

The already intense lightning instantly raged out of control.

Wherever the thunderbolt swept, rocks and rubble were reduced to dust.

Its power has been greatly amplified.

Zeraora gritted her teeth, and the blue fur on her forehead shone even brighter.

In the next instant, Zeraora unleashed all of her lightning bolts upon Gluttony.

This time.

The Gluttonous King could no longer devour energy; even its enormous mouth was tightly shut, and its tentacles were bound to its body by chains formed from powerful electric currents, as if its entire body were imprisoned by chains.

"Amazing..." Xiao Zhi couldn't help but exclaim again as he watched Xia Yan and Xiao Zhi's perfect teamwork.

"Pikachu~~"

Pikachu's eyes were filled with stars as it watched Zeraora and Beedrill.

The meaning of worship is self-evident.

"Time to go!" the man in the trench coat, who looked like a wandering swordsman, said in a low voice.

He knew that even if they restrained the Devourer King now, they couldn't do anything to it.

But Xia Yan grabbed his shoulder.

Under his surprised gaze, another hand grabbed Xiaozhi's wrist.

He smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

He immediately nodded to Hu.

The surging superpowers enveloped them completely.

next second.

Instant teleportation.

The three of them, along with the elf, all disappeared into the ruins.

Only the Gluttonous King, now freed from its restraints, remained, roaring madly and wreaking havoc.

Somewhere in the ruins.

Xia Yan and his two companions appeared here.

Ash, holding Pikachu, slumped down in the sand.

Xia Yan and the other person stood there.

The person realized, "Teleportation?"

He then looked at Xia Yan and extended his hand, "Diya."

Xia Yan, with a smile on her face, gently shook hands with him, saying, "Xia Yan."

the other side.

Zeraora, arms crossed, fixed her gaze on Beedrill.

The beedrill simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Zeraora is strong, but Beedrill is confident that it will be even stronger!

Chapter 163 Xia Yan VS Xiao Zhi

After the three were out of danger, they headed towards Dia's temporary residence, led by him.

Simultaneously.

The three also had a brief exchange, revealing some of their identities to each other.

"What kind of elf was that just now?"

Ash looked on with curiosity, and Pikachu, perched on his shoulder, had a similar expression.

“The Gluttonous King is an ultimate Beast,” Xia Yan explained in a rather friendly manner.

"Ultimate Beast?!"

Xia Yan didn't say anything more, but just looked at Dia.

Dia gave a wry smile.

He explained slowly, "It is indeed the Gluttonous King, and it is because of its existence that this place has become what it is now."

He then briefly recounted the process.

Dia was originally a resident of Melemele Island in the Alola region, but one day, Gudetama suddenly appeared on Melemele Island.

Dia resolutely joined the Ultimate Patrol in an attempt to defeat Gluttony.

however.

They discovered that they had no way to deal with the Gluttonous King, and their operation ultimately ended in failure.

So the Ultimate Patrol took all the island's residents away, leaving the already ruined place to Guts.

However, Dia disagreed with their approach and chose to leave the Ultimate Patrol, staying behind alone to fight against Gluttony. He used the now-ruined Elf Academy as his base to find a way to defeat Gluttony.

This is roughly what happened to him.

"Alola?! This is also Melemele Island?!"

After listening to Dia's story, Ash was completely taken aback.

Just over an hour ago, he was fighting Tapu Koko in the dense jungle of Melemele Island. How did Melemele Island become like this?

But when he saw the dilapidated but vaguely familiar Elf Academy...

Xiao Zhi was confused.

Dia also found Ash's shock strange.

“A parallel universe, perhaps,” Xia Yan said slowly, looking at the now completely desolate Elf Academy.

"Parallel universe?"

Dia and Xiaozhi looked at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan shook his head and said softly:

"This is indeed Melemele Island. Ash, you were also on Melemele Island before, and I also come from Melemele Island."

"Mr. Xia Yan, you're also from Meilemeile Island?"

Now, Ash was even more confused.

Dia, however, seemed to vaguely understand Xia Yan's meaning.

"My journey here was similar to yours, Ash. I also came here with the power of Tapu Koko."

Xiao Zhi opened his mouth.

"Could it be understood this way? If we consider Ash's time as the 'present,' then the world we are in is the 'future' of his world, while Mr. Xia Yan, the world you are in is the 'past' compared to Ash's world?" Dia guessed.
