Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

She's more suited to wearing a bikini.

Kiku, whose main job is modeling and whose side job is the gym leader of Raven City in the Unova region, is also very good at showing off her figure.

Xia Yan's first opponent in the main competition was this well-known model, Xiao Ju'er.

"Mr. Xia Yan, go easy on me—!!"

"Mr. Xia Yan, please be gentle!!"

This is the voice of Xia Yan's supporters.

obviously.

Xiao Ju'er's revealing figure almost caused her supporters to "turn against" her immediately.

After all, she is a beauty whose looks and figure are comparable to Cynthia.

Kiku has a considerable number of supporters not only in the Unova region, but also in various other regions.

Whether it's participating in a modeling show or appearing on the cover of a fashion magazine, it's bound to generate a lot of buzz.

Xia Yan couldn't help but pull his hat brim down further.

Although Xiaojuer wasn't wearing the "Mega Fit" outfit, she still couldn't quite handle it.

If we go all out against such an opponent, wouldn't a lot of male fans leave us?

Da da da—

however.

As Xia Yan waited for the referee's instructions but received none, he looked up and heard the crisp sound of Thunder Zebra's hooves.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafts into the air.

And that exquisite face so close to my eyes.

Her bright blue eyes looked directly into his eyes.

Suddenly, Xiao Ju'er appeared in front of him.

"Ok?"

"Mr. Xia Yan, the 'True Hero'?" Xiao Ju'er's melodious voice, as sweet as a nightingale's, rang out.

"Uh, it's me." Xia Yan was taken aback.

Confirm Xia Yan's identity.

Xiao Ju'er's eyes crinkled into a smile as she sweetly asked, "I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a notebook from somewhere.

The cover features a photo of Xia Yan riding Reshiram, a photo that even Xia Yan thinks the photographer was quite skilled at.

Xia Yan was speechless when he saw the cover.

They didn't pay me any endorsement fees or copyright fees!

However, under Xiaoju'er's eager gaze, Xia Yan still quickly left his name on it.

"Okay." He handed the notebook back to her.

I've decided that once I get back from this competition, I'll definitely investigate who's been abusing his photos for profit. That's absolutely a violation of his portrait rights!

"Can we take a picture together?" Xiaoju asked.

"Xiao Ju'er, please return to your position immediately, the match is about to begin!" The referee couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but remind her.

"Soon, I promise, very soon," Xiao Ju said hastily, then jumped off the Thunder Zebra and stood beside Xia Yan.

She pulled him around ninety degrees so he was facing the audience.

The flashbulbs kept going off.

Is that a camera flash?

This is the sound of countless male fans' hearts breaking.

After doing all this.

Xiao Ju'er finally returned to her seat, satisfied, and left a message for Xia Yan.

"Mr. Xia Yan, please don't hold back. Although I am your fan, I will not go easy on you in this match."

After Xiaoju'er left, Xia Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He still underestimated the influence of the title "True Hero" in the Unova region.

Once Xiaojuer returned to her position, the referee finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately instructed the two to begin the match.

The main competition is also divided into several stages.

Since we are currently in the first stage, the competition will be held in a 3v3 format.

It is said that after the top 32, the rules will change to 6v6 all-player battles.

"Please send out your spirits!"

When it came time for the battle, Xia Yan and Xiao Ju'er's expressions both became serious.

Two beams of red light.

An Eevee appeared in front of Xia Yan, while an Ampharos appeared in front of Xiao Ju'er.

A dragon of the highest caliber.

When Xiaojuer saw Xia Yan's Eevee, she frowned slightly.

I felt a little resentful.

Xia Yan knew that she had swept all her opponents in the qualifiers with Eevee and Feebas.

This Eevee also has a strong support role.

But Eevee is only an elite-level Pokémon. Sending it out to face her seems a bit disrespectful.

I just told Xia Yan not to hold back.

If Xia Yan knew what Xiao Ju'er was thinking, he would definitely cry foul.

This isn't meant to be disrespectful to her; it's just that this was his tactical plan...

As the referee's flag fell, Xiaoju, who was somewhat resentful, immediately commanded the electric dragon to launch a fierce attack.

"Electric Dragon, Charge Beam!"

The red spheres on the top and tail of the electric dragon glowed, and golden electricity surged, transforming into a swift arrow that hurtled towards Eevee.

next moment.

The electric current swept across, leaving a groove in the rocky ground and raising dust.

However, Ibrahimovic, with his agile movements and nimble body, combined with "Quick Strike," evaded the attack.

Distance is a factor, and Ibrahimovic himself is already close to the level of a Gym Leader, which is another factor.

As he ran, Ibu's eyes gleamed with a superpower-like aura.

meditation!

It's the same old routine, just with a few more tactical changes.

However, Little Daisy was also lucky. Although Ampharos's "Charging Beam" missed, it triggered a buff, increasing Ampharos's Special Attack.

Seeing that Ibrahimovic successfully used "Meditation", Xiaoju knew that the next move was the "baton pass" tactic.

Therefore, they decisively stopped the electric dragon from launching another attack and instead chose to conserve their power.

But soon.

She realized she had misjudged the situation.

Eevee's sprint wasn't over; it continued to use "Meditation" as it ran.

"Xiaojuer made a mistake in judgment. Xia Yan did not directly let Ibu use 'Baton Pass'. This is a flexible use of feints and real attacks!" the host shouted excitedly.

Because Xia Yan and Xiao Ju'er are both very popular, the host provides commentary on the competition at this venue.

"Tsk, Master Xia Yan is so cunning."

"What do you know? This is tactical."

"But this tactic..."

"This is Master Xia Yan. Is this your first time watching his match?"

...

"Electric Dragon, unleash your power!"

Little Chrysanthemum realized what was happening and immediately commanded the electric dragon to attack again.

however.

This time, however, Ibrahimovic's eyes gleamed with cunning, and his body transformed into a streak of white light as he swiftly departed.

Make the electric dragon's attack miss.

"Xia Yan's Eevee is very good at seizing opportunities. It used 'Batter' to avoid the attack. Xia Yan's next Pokémon is... Latios!!"

Whoosh—!

There was an uproar.

Latios?!

Mythical beast?!

Is this what a "true hero" is?

Will Rehiram appear in the final?

This was the first time Xia Yan had sent out Latios in a match under the watchful eyes of so many people.

"Os!!"
