Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The youngest future PhD in Pokémon studies.

Even if Xia Yan doesn't become a professor this time, no one will doubt whether he can become a professor of Pokémon studies in the future; it's practically a certainty.

In addition, he holds numerous titles such as "Hero of Truth," Interpol Deputy Superintendent, and Gym Leader.

They are absolutely qualified.

Not to mention the most crucial link.

The relationship between Xia Yan and Daigo.

All the alliance wants is promotion.

But how to promote it is not really the concern of the alliance.

For example, the Poké Ball, right?

It's definitely more crucial than the Fairy type.

However, the production of Poké Balls is mainly controlled by two major companies, Silver and Devon, and the League has no intention of taking them back.

Xia Yan can tell the Alliance how to awaken Fairy-type characters.

Perhaps the league will take this seriously in the short term.

However, as the Fairy-type energy gradually recovers, Fairy-type Pokémon will awaken on their own, so this method is no longer very important.

That's when Devon can be mobilized.

Let's not talk about how much money we can make.

Money, in German, is just a string of numbers.

The most crucial thing for them is the market.

Devon, having seized the initiative, was able to capture the market first.

Be the first to cut the cake.

That's what's truly important.

For large companies like Silver and Devon, the market is their lifeblood.

As the young master of Devon Corporation, Daigo is quite knowledgeable about these things.

“Then you can try talking to the old man,” Xia Yan said.

"Need not."

Daigo waved his hand.

“My father can’t refuse this, and neither can the Devon board of directors.”

He was very certain.

reject?

Only a fool would refuse.

They wouldn't refuse even if Xia Yan gave them all the money they earned.

Market share is far more important than a string of numbers.

However, for Xia Yan, all he cared about was that string of numbers.

"Alright, I'll give you a list. You can start arranging the acquisitions of the items on it."

As he spoke, Xia Yan handed the paper he had prepared to Daigo.

Daigo raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Well, you've been planning to take us by surprise all along."

Despite his words, he still carefully put the paper away.

The two sat quietly for a while, then Daigo asked again:

"By the way, Xia Yan, is there anything I still need to improve?"

Xia Yan looked at him with some surprise.

This is not a question Daigo should be asking.

Daigo rubbed his ring, oblivious to Natsuhiko's expression, and continued, "I just feel a little lost, especially when it comes to building the team."

"You mean Bangilas?"

"almost."

“I think it’s great. A sandstorm team centered around Tyranitar, while not a perfect match for your Pokémon, has pretty good compatibility,” Xia Yan said.

As Daigo looked over, Natsuhiko continued, "However, if you want to center your team around Tyranitar, I think you could consider a few other Pokémon."

"For example?" Daigo asked, a look of curiosity on his face.

"For example, Excadrill, its Steel and Ground types are a great fit for your team. If it has the Sand Smash ability, it would be a good choice as a physical attacker."

For example, the Cradle Lily you saw today has the 'Water Absorb' ability, which, combined with its own type, makes it a good defensive unit.

Then all you need to consider is which two Pokémon to replace...

As he spoke, Xia Yan's voice gradually faded.

Ok?

That's not right!

Daigo, the future Steel-type champion.

Are they heading in the direction of the Sandstorm team?

Daigo, the Sandstorm Champion?

There's something off about it.

But Daigo took Natsuhiko's words to heart.

He fell into deep thought.

Xia Yan shook his head.

Forget it.

No matter what path Daigo chooses to take in the future, his strength will not be weaker than in the original story; it will only get stronger.

"Oh, right, here you go." Xia Yan took a stone out of his pocket.

"This is......"

"A fossil, obtained by chance. You should know about the Alliance's fossil resurrection device; it might give you a surprise," Xia Yan said casually.

This is a fossil he casually acquired when he first obtained the Czechoslovakian Dark Stone.

I've always wanted to give it to Daigo, but I always forget.

Daigo rubbed the fossil in his hand, his face full of surprise.

really.

Compared to the spirits, what Daigo likes most is the stone.

...

...

What do you think?

At the summit of Baiyin Mountain.

The huge conference room of the Alliance headquarters.

A number of people were seated around the huge round table.

However, most of them are sitting in the form of virtual images.

and.

The head seat at the round table was empty.

The one who raised the question was an elderly man with white hair and beard to the right of the head of the table. He had his cane beside his chair, his hands resting on the table, and he looked at everyone at the conference table with a kind expression.

There were also many empty chairs around him.

"Too young."

The speaker was an elderly man, also presented as a virtual image, whose words carried a subtle hint of disdain for the young people.

"His abilities are quite good."

The speaker this time was a middle-aged man, but his attitude was somewhat ambiguous.

The Supreme Conference of the Alliance.

However, it was convened specifically because of Xia Yan, a young man who was not even twenty years old.

It's clear that the Fairy-type situation has escalated to a certain point, forcing the League to take it seriously.

“But I heard he’s very close to the Ethereum Foundation.”

"Yes, this is not a good sign."

"Besides, he hasn't fully researched it yet. Let's wait until he presents all his findings before we talk about it, instead of negotiating with us remotely in this way."

His deep, resonant voice and imposing physique made no attempt to conceal his dissatisfaction with Xia Yan's actions.

"Tch—" This drew a sneer from someone, "Do you even know anything about research? You're giving orders at this kind of meeting?"

"you!"

The old man who spoke first remained silent and did not interrupt the discussion or even the controversy among the people below; he simply watched with a smile.

Clang—

Suddenly.

The conference room door was rudely opened.

It attracted the attention of most people.

Kikuko, leaning on her cane and with a hunched back, walked in slowly.
