Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Take everything back.

Xia Yan now had a device resembling a mobile phone in his hand.

The screen on it has a grid pattern.

"Ultimate Energy Detector".

This was given to Xia Yan by Dia at the very end.

Fortunately, it did not malfunction due to the crackling electric current of the Tapu Kelp.

Although Dia's world was dilapidated, it was still ten times more advanced than Xia Yan's world.

Ten years is enough time for the technology in the Elf World to undergo tremendous changes.

For people in this world, ultimate energy is difficult to perceive, ultimate aura is difficult to capture, and ultimate pores are even more difficult to lock onto. But for the world that Dia lives in, each member of the Ultimate Patrol is equipped with such equipment and tools.

This is why Dia found it the moment it appeared in the Ultimate Cave.

Once the Devourer King is dealt with, he will return to the Ultimate Patrol, rendering the equipment useless to him. He can get another one, so it was given to Xia Yan, who was quite interested in it.

I gently tapped the surface of the screen.

There was no fluctuation.

The current ecology of the Alola region is quite good, and Ultra Holes have not become rampant.

After taking stock of the harvest.

Xia Yan was also preparing to go back.

...

...

A sprawling villa in the city of Hoola.

"Nami—!!"

As soon as Xia Yan entered the door, Victini rushed over, hugged him, and kept rubbing her head against him.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Xia Yan had been gone for a long time.

Standing by the door, Cynthia couldn't help but tease, "What an ungrateful little thing."

The dissatisfaction in his words was quite at odds with his smiling expression.

Xia Yan is back, and she breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.

"Nimi~~" Victini stuck out her little tongue and called out in a slightly coquettish tone.

This prompted Cynthia to tap its little head.

"So many people?"

Xia Yan looked up and gazed into the living room; there were quite a few people inside.

"I heard you were back, so I was waiting for you here," Cynthia explained.

A spacious living room.

The crackling sound of burning wood in the fireplace made the temperature in the entire living room very comfortable.

“Daigo, don’t even mention that your Devon also has businesses here.”

Xia Yan took off his coat, hung his hat on the coat rack by the door, loosened his collar, and walked towards the sofa.

The group sat there, seemingly discussing something.

"No way."

Daigo smiled and placed the coffee cup on the coffee table.

Before Xia Yan could say anything, he added, "I just bought it."

Xia Yan: "..."

Giving a thumbs-up is a way of showing admiration.

"Money power" is the most powerful ability in the world.

"Xia Yan, where did you go?" Du, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't help but ask.

“I was dragged by Tapu Koko to do some things,” Xia Yan explained casually.

He then glanced at the group and asked, "How many days have I been gone?"

“Two days,” Cynthia replied as she followed him in.

"Don't worry, Xia Yan, we've registered you," Kona added.

"Thank you."

Xia Yan nodded his thanks as he accepted the coffee from Kona.

"You're all here, you didn't just wait for me, did you?"

I took a small sip of coffee, the bittersweet aroma spreading in my mouth.

"That's part of the reason."

"Hmm?" Xia Yan looked at Du.

Judging from their expressions, they don't seem to be in a good mood.

Noticing Xia Yan's confusion, Daigo rubbed his ring and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Xia Yan, this competition is more complicated than you imagined."

complex?

Was this originally a dialogue between the League and the local Alola forces?

The complexity is the league's business; how much does it have to do with the people who participate in the competition?

"You'll see if you look at the list of applicants from the Alola region."

As he spoke, Du handed over a list.

Xia Yan took the list with a puzzled look and scanned it from top to bottom while drinking his coffee.

Everything was normal up to that point.

Although there were many familiar faces up there, including several people sitting in the room at the moment, as well as those who were not present but were equally famous.

It has a significant overlap with the "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition".

just.

When Xia Yan saw the names of the Alola region, he almost spat out the coffee he hadn't yet swallowed.

He wiped his mouth and looked at the group again.

"What the hell is this? A Masters tournament?"

Daigo shrugged helplessly, Kona adjusted her glasses, and Wataru also looked somewhat helpless.

“Mr. Hala, Miss Liz, Mr. Merdan, Hapwu… and this Royal Masked Man. Although the Alola region was just released, I know who they are.” Xia Yan read out a few names briefly.

Hala, Lizi, Merdan, and Hapuu were all island kings and queens.

Before the League arrived, the Island King was the strongest trainer on the island, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was on par with the Elite Four.

And this royal masked man.

Kukui, don't think I won't recognize you just because you're wearing a mask!

Dr. Kukui, who is one of the biggest supporters of the League's entry into the Alola region, is also on the list of representatives from the Alola region to participate in the competition.

What does that mean?

"The League has already instructed that, in order to stabilize the development of the Alola region, these four island kings or island queens will be directly appointed as the first Elite Four of the Alola region," Lance added.

With four Elite Four level trainers participating, calling it a Masters Tournament is no exaggeration.

What's more, there's Kukui, the first champion of the Alola League.

Xia Yan opened his mouth, but after a long while, he finally spoke.

Isn't this bullying?

Kona sighed slightly, "However, the tournament rules also stipulate that these players cannot use Pokémon whose strength surpasses that of a near-Elite Four member."

Near-King level?

In other words, none of these players can use their top-tier Pokémon?

but......

"Is there a difference?"

Xia Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Even without sending out a Champion-level Pokémon, the tactical skills and Pokémon training of a Champion-level trainer are unmatched by ordinary trainers.

“It makes no difference to others, but it’s different for us,” Watari said seriously.

His gaze swept over the group, and he continued:

"As long as they don't send out a Celestial-level Pokémon, even if the opponent is one of the Elite Four, we still have a chance, let alone the fact that they aren't one yet."

From this statement, it's easy to see how confident Du is in himself.

It wasn't just him.

The others nodded in agreement.

Xia Yan, however, twitched the corner of his mouth and silently drank his coffee.

No wonder the Alola region dares to challenge the entire League.

Xia Yan had been wondering about this for a while.

Alola is a region that has only just opened up. Even with the Aether Foundation and the four major islands, how does it have the confidence to challenge so many outstanding young trainers in the entire league?

I think so.

The conditions were set by the Alora region.
