Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Ilima's face darkened.

Xia Yan Yi Bu's increase in power alarmed him.

Although Ibu was injured, the overall improvement in attributes is truly exaggerated.

Seeing Ibrahimovic breathing heavily, Ilima knew that time was not on his side.

We must finish this quickly!

"Ibrahimovic, double kick!"

Xia Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

Can't resist anymore?

Perfect timing, my Eevee is almost fully charged up.

With a wave of his hand.

"Supportive power!"

"Buyi!!"

Eevee roared excitedly, its entire body glowing with a superpower aura as it calculated all the buffs it currently possessed.

Supporting Power: Each change in one's own abilities increases the power of the move by 20 points.

According to the game's calculation method, the power of "Support Power" is 20, but each of its five attributes has been increased by two levels, which is 200 points of power. So at this time, the power of "Support Power" has reached a terrifying 220 points!

Of course, that's how it's calculated in the game.

However, this also means that the destructive power of the "support power" moves has become extremely terrifying at this point.

In terms of destructive power alone, it is probably no less powerful than a regular "Z-Move".

Bang——! !

Ibrahimovic kicked the young Ibrahimovic, causing him to stagger briefly in pain.

However, Eevee unleashed all of its power.

boom--!!

"Support power!! At this moment, Xia Yan's Eevee's buffs are incredibly powerful!!"

A large cloud of dust rose up again from the site.

what's the result?

The thought flashed through everyone's mind.

As the dust gradually settles.

"Xia Yan's Eevee! It has won!!"

"Buyi!!"

Little Ibuki held his head high and puffed out his chest.

at the same time.

As the pressure was completely released, Little Ibuki's aura subtly changed.

Officially promoted to the level of museum owner!

In Xia Yan's opinion, if Eevee doesn't evolve, its talent will have already been fully realized once it reaches the Gym Leader level.

Further improvement will become extremely difficult.

This can also be seen in Ibrahimovic's performance in Ilima.

Ilima has definitely invested a lot of energy and time, but his ace Pokémon, Eevee, is still only at the Gym Leader level, which is the best proof of that.

"The winner is... Xia Yan!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, Xia Yan and Ilima walked to the center of the field and shook hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia Yan, for helping me find my way." Ilima showed no sign of frustration or disappointment after the defeat; on the contrary, he was quite invigorated.

Eevee's signature "Z-Move" gave him hope that Eevee could continue to grow.

Xia Yan didn't discourage his pursuit of Eevee, but just smiled and said, "You're already very strong."

This is the truth.

How old is Ilima now?

At most, he's about on par with the Pill Emperor.

If he hadn't pursued Ibrahimovic, his strength might have increased even further.

"Thank you for the compliment."

The two didn't say anything more, walked towards the players' tunnel, and gave up the space.

Back to the players' bench.

"What's wrong with you? You've won, but you still seem distracted?"

Seeing Xia Yan's somewhat dazed appearance, Du couldn't help but ask.

Xia Yan had just sat down.

He blinked and came to his senses.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."

"matter?"

"It's about research," Xia Yan replied casually.

really.

Once those words were spoken, Du and the others lost the desire to ask any further questions.

When it comes to research matters, only Cynthia has the qualifications and ability to barely get involved; most others can't get a word in edgewise.

“However, Xia Yan, the power of this ‘Z-Move’ is indeed a bit too outrageous.”

Suppressing his thoughts for the moment, Xia Yan smiled and said:

"'Z-Move' is powerful, but its shortcomings are also obvious. It puts too much burden on the trainer and requires too much control and timing from the trainer. The main problem is that it is too slow to release."

"That's true. Ilima's 'Z-Move' was released too slowly, otherwise Infernape might not have been able to unleash it in the end."

Daigo largely agrees with Natsuhiko's point of view.

"Then why doesn't your Eevee seem to have this problem when using 'Z-Moves', Xia Yan-senpai?" Lorelei asked.

Several people's eyes fell on him.

Xia Yan shrugged and said with a hint of teasing, "Because I'm a superpowered person."

Seeing his smug look and hearing his words, the others rolled their eyes at the same time.

I sat in my seat for a while.

Xia Yan found that he still couldn't quite get into the game on the field.

He stood up and said something to them.

"No, I still need to go find Professor Oak. Good luck to you guys, but don't let us fail before we even meet him."

After obtaining their consent, Xia Yan quickly left.

"What's wrong with him? He's acting a bit out of control," Daigo couldn't help but ask.

They rarely saw this situation with Xia Yan.

Du shook his head.

"Perhaps... it's some major discovery. Dr. Yamanashi looked just like that when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration for his research topic," Cynthia guessed hesitantly.

...

...

"Xia Yan, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly call me out?"

A coffee shop in a commercial street.

Professor Oak sat down opposite Xia Yan with a smile and asked.

As one of the main leaders of the organizing committee, his sudden departure is not a good thing.

Xia Yan rubbed the cup, head down, looking somewhat hesitant.

His appearance made Professor Oak take him seriously, and he slowly suppressed his smile.

He leaned closer and whispered, "You have a girl you like?"

puff--

Xia Yan spat out a mouthful of coffee and stared at Professor Oak in shock.

Professor Oak calmly rubbed his face, looking at Xia Yan with the air of someone who had been there all along.

She said earnestly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? You're not young anymore, it's perfectly normal. Like my son, when he had someone he liked, he was also..."

As he spoke, Professor Oak chuckled again.

A hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, as if he was thinking about how popular he was in the league when he was young.

"Ms. Kikuko, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this...

Professor Oak's expression changed drastically, and all the pleasant memories in his mind were immediately replaced by Kikuko's sinister face.

Startled, she quickly stood up, a sheepish smile on her face, and looked behind her. "Hehe, Kikuko..."

But the problem is.

Kikuko wasn't behind him.

Xia Yan suppressed a smile.

One of Professor Oak's greatest nemesis is his cheap teacher, Kikuko.
