Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The Dragon Clan's Dragon Lord, Lance, faces off against Daigo Zuvoki, the eldest son of the Devon Corporation.

Xia Yan has already thought of a title.

Let's call it "The Showdown of the Girl Killers".

I estimate I can make a lot of money.

"Oh? That's good." Daigo's eyes lit up.

At this time, Daigo did not need to shoulder the many affairs of Devon Corporation. His greatest hobby was collecting stones, all kinds of stones, and secondly, Pokémon battles.

soon.

Ivy led the two to the club's warehouse.

Enter the password, verify with your fingerprint, and the metal door slowly opens with a "click".

Instead of letting Xia Yan in directly, they took a booklet from the shelf by the door.

"Here is the catalog. Take a look, pick two, and I'll go get them for you."

Xia Yan took the booklet and, without any hesitation, began to flip through it.

At this moment, Daigo, who was standing next to him, suggested, "I also know a bit about Beedrill. Xia Yan, I suggest you choose Swords Dance. It will be of great help to it."

Ivy: "......."

After a brief moment of awkwardness, Ivy explained, "Sword Dance is no ordinary technique; its value is far too high, and I have no authority to offer it as a reward. Besides... there are no manuals on Sword Dance techniques, nor any resources or materials for matching them, in the warehouse."

"The value of the sword dance, is it alright?"

Xia Yan: "..."

Her eye twitched, and she wisely refrained from replying.

For Daigo, something worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars is not as valuable as a stone he has never seen before.

Big spender!

After silently making a comment, Xia Yan became engrossed in choosing the moves.

It must be said that Silver's financial resources and abilities are quite good. Except for some techniques that are too powerful or rare, most of them are recorded in this book.

This made Xia Yan, who suffers from decision-making difficulties, hesitate.

I mentally eliminated some options one by one.

"First of all, although Casey is almost over its growth period, we don't know which moves it has inherited, so Casey's moves are not included in the options for the time being."

"So, the main target should still be Beedrill."

Although Beedrill seemed to win easily in today's battles, as if it had completely overwhelmed its opponents, that was just an illusion created by the double fatal stings.

When facing Zubat and Rapidash, Beedrill was once stuck without suitable moves to use, and could only rely on Normal-type attacks and its already impressive attack power to cover up its lack of coverage.

"Beedrill has weaknesses to four types: Flying, Rock, Fire, and Psychic. We also need to consider Beedrill's sniping ability, fighting style, and habits, and choose moves that aren't too cheap..."

If the value is low, Xia Yan can simply earn the money to buy it himself, and generally, low-value moves won't be very powerful or effective.

The right value and the right approach are the best choices.

After a period of selection, Xia Yan finally settled on two sets of secret manuals.

"These two sets will do, 'Straight Drill' and 'Falling Down'." Xia Yan handed the booklet back to Ivy.

"can."

Ivy gave him a deep look, then turned and walked into the warehouse.

The value of a straight-through drill is not low either.

"Ground-type move Drill Rush increases the chance of hitting a critical hit and is also effective against Fire and Rock types, making it a good choice."

"The Dark-type move Knock Down, while not as powerful as Drill Rush, can limit the items the opponent can hold and is somewhat effective against Psychic-type moves, making it a fairly good choice."

Daigo commented on the two sets of secret manuals selected by Xia Yanxuan.

Beedrill, a Flying-type Pokémon, can barely cope with the situation using its electric net. This gives Beedrill a certain means of countering any Pokémon that has a type advantage over it.

Xia Yan smiled helplessly, "I just chose what I thought was the best option."

Due to limited resources, we can only gradually make up for the weaknesses of Beedrill.

But isn't that part of the fun of raising Pokémon?

Watching it grow stronger little by little is very rewarding for a trainer.

Of course, there are exceptions for those who are born at a point that others can never reach in their entire lives.

He glanced at Daigo in front of him.

There is one right in front of him.

“A Pokémon doesn’t need to master many moves; specializing in a few will be more effective,” Daigo agreed.

He then added, "However, you should try to learn as much as you can so you can cope with some extreme situations."

Have a look.

This is the correct way to train Pokémon.

Powered by "money"!

Xia Yan said he didn't want to chat with Daigo; he was thinking about Wataru.

At this moment, Ivy came out, carrying two small boxes.

"Here, your 'Straight Drill' and 'Falling'."

These two boxes contain the accompanying learning materials and tools to help the sprite learn and master the skills.

"Thank you."

I took the box.

In the following period, Beedrill had new training directions and goals.

After handing the box to Xia Yan, Ivy smiled and said to Daigo, "Mr. Daigo, how about I show you around our club..."

This is something we were instructed from above to take seriously.

Daigo shook his head. "I already visited it when I came before, and it was pretty good."

"That......"

"This is my first time in Golden City. Why don't you let Xia Yan show me around?"

Daigo still seems to have a lingering fondness for Natsuhiko's Counterattack Shield tactic.

“Okay,” Ivy agreed immediately.

Xia Yan, who had already turned around and was about to quietly leave to go back to training, froze in his tracks.

"Well, I have to go back to training," Xia Yan said.

"Xia Yan, aren't you a sparring partner at the club? Follow the normal membership process, I'll book you for the whole day."

Xia Yan: "..."

Does having money mean you can do whatever you want?

I'm sorry, but you can.

Ivy winked at Xia Yan without saying a word, "Xia Yan, your advanced sparring partner task is to show Mr. Daigo around the sights of Goldenrod City."

"Isn't it said that you need to apply for a senior sparring coach title?"

So hasty?

"Your match result has already been reported to the higher-ups."

Xia Yan: "..."

"Okay, I just really want to show Daigo the beauty of Saffron City."

Xia Yan shrugged.

If there's a legitimate reason, who wouldn't want to build a good relationship with Daigo Zubo?

If I happen to be in a good mood, I could just casually give someone a skill book like Sword Dance or Breaking Ray, that would be great.

Daigo smiled and said, "I'll introduce you to a friend later."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Blowing a Kiss

Where would you like to go?

Leaving the club, Xia Yan looked at Daigo and asked.

"Let me make a call."

As he spoke, Daigo took out a communication device that was currently the latest technology in the Pokémon world.

"Yeah, I met a really interesting friend at the club. You'd probably be interested too..."

Xia Yan silently watched Daigo make a phone call.

It seems he didn't come to the Kanto region, to Sakura City, alone?

Also.

When the young master of Devon Corporation visits Golden City, he must bring a few followers or bodyguards with him.

Xia Yan didn't think much of it.

soon.

An exceptionally luxurious car, even more so than the one Jian Er had brought him last time, pulled up in front of the club.

"Your car?" Xia Yan asked curiously.

He'll probably have to work hard for at least a year to get this car, and it's the kind that can't be used to upgrade the Pokémon.

“Silver knew I was here to arrange it for me,” Daigo said as he watched the driver get out and open the door for the two of them.

Xia Yan shrugged. "That's alright."
