The Bottom Trainer In The Pokémon World

Chapter 876 The Ice King is back, and the Johto Region is back in control! (triple)

Mahogany Town.

A small town located in the north of the Johto Region.

In fact, this town does not have a strong presence in the entire Johto Region.

After all, it is located in the middle of the two big cities of Yuanzhu City and Blackthorn City, and there are mountains on both sides. Mahogany Town is a small place like a bullet, and it is not very conspicuous on the map.

Compared with Mahogany Town, Rage Lake to the north of Mahogany Town may be more famous.

After all, Lake Rage is the largest inland freshwater lake in the entire Johto Region.

In addition, there are a large number of Gyarados in Rage Lake, and some people jokingly call it "Gyarados Lake".

Many water-based Pokémon Trainers regard capturing a Gyarados as one of their ultimate goals, so many people heard the news.

only.

A Pokémon like Gyarados has enough deterrent power to make many people daunted.

Not to mention a bunch of Gyarados.

So people who try to conquer Gyarados in Rage Lake often end in failure.

No way, once Pokémon like Gyarados form in groups, dozens or even dozens of them appear together, the entire area will be changed, and it will be even more difficult to conquer.

Therefore, Rage Lake is not small, but there are many adventurers who really dare to go to the muddy water of Rage Lake.

but.

Others can underestimate Mahogany Town, but Xia Yan can't.

Not to mention the major bases of the Rockets in the Johto Region, the Mahogany base is one of them, and Ariana, one of the four generals, also leads her legion to sit here, doing some research that is of great significance to the Rockets.

Pryce, one of Xia Yan's teachers alone, took up the role of the gym owner in Mahogany Town after stepping down as Elite Four.

It can be said.

In Mahogany Town, there are at least two Elite Trainers.

And Xia Yan, who ended the Yuanzhu City incident, came to Mahogany Town very sensible, ready to visit his Teacher Pryce.

But when he came to Mahogany Gym, he was told

"Sorry sir, Mahogany Gym has been temporarily closed due to Alliance's regulations."

The old guard of the gym, when he saw the young Xia Yan, thought he was here to challenge the gym.

"Blocked?"

Xia Yan was stunned and glanced at this not-so-big gym.

His Solaceon gym is a medium-sized gym, and the one in Pryce is at most a small gym.

"Yes." The doorman also seemed a little helpless.

"Uncle, do you know the reason?" Xia Yan couldn't help asking.

The old man shook his head, "How could I, a gatekeeper, know about it. All I know is that it happened about two months ago."

more than two months ago?

Xia Yan recalled slightly.

Isn't that just after the outbreak of the Opelucid incident in the time and space of Baiyang Town?

Xia Yan would recall the helplessness of Pryce in a wheelchair after teaching him the trick of "Glaciate".

perhaps.

At that point, Pryce realized it.

after all.

If you really want to go back, he Pryce is actually the one who colluded with Team Galactic Cyrus.

But in the end, Xia Yan and his little Vulpix, together with Du and Cynthia, made Pryce let go of his obsession.

For no reason, there was such a trace of anger in Xia Yan's heart.

Although Pryce's initial plan was not very good, he finally recognized himself and resisted the time and space Opelucid controlled by Cyrus by himself, saving so many residents of Poplar Town.

Even if the merits and demerits are offset, it should not be treated like this.

Alliance, is it really so faint?

"Master, do you know where the master of the gym, Mr. Pryce, is now?" Xia Yan suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked.

The old man looked up at the sun.

He said thoughtfully, "Mr. Pryce, this point should be fishing at Lake Rage. Well, although Mr. Pryce may seem rather cold, he is actually a very good person. After people, they will patiently tell them where they are lacking and how they should be adjusted, eh?"

Grandpa is still talking.

When he lowered his head, he found that Xia Yan had disappeared.

Can not help scratching his head.

For a while, I didn't know if I had an illusion just now, or if Xia Yan left too quickly.

at the same time.

Lake Rage north of Mahogany Town.

The scorching sun shines brightly, and the brilliant sunshine overlooks the earth, rendering the trees deeper and greener and more upright.

From time to time, some water-type Pokémon sticks out their heads, and after spitting a few bubbles against the scorching sun, a wagging tail sinks into the deep pool again.

more times.

A Gyarados bathed in the lake water and wrapped in an extraordinarily gorgeous dragon scale reflected in the sun slowly jumped out of the water, glanced at the two leisurely old men sitting on the bank, and returned to the water again.

Turn up a few bubbles, accompanied by rushing water.

shore.

in the shade.

Two vigorous figures sat there, each holding a fishing rod, leisurely enjoying the tranquility of old age.

Only one person in a wheelchair and one person in a folding chair.

In the middle of the two, there was also a small table with two steaming tea cups on it.

It is brought to the mouth from time to time, blowing, sipping, and breathing. After the mellow bitterness is filled, the rich sweetness gradually fills the mouth.

"Pryce, my tea is good, right?" the old man sitting on the folding chair said proudly.

"Um."

Pryce, who was sitting in a wheelchair, just responded lightly.

The old man was obviously accustomed to Pryce's indifference, but continued:

"Tsk tsk, this is the tea leaves produced on the Dragon's Cliff. Drinking the dragon spring water and bathing in the dragon dew, only produces less than one kilogram a year."

"Um."

Pryce's answer was still not salty or bland.

The old man took another sip, looked in the west direction, and his expression paused.

Put down the tea cup, and said slowly:

"The matter in Yuanzhu City has become a bit big, and the above can no longer stop it."

this time.

Pryce didn't even answer, just stared at the lake silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

One hand grabbed the worn fishing rod, the other caressed the languid Swinub lying on his lap.

"Hoohoo~~"

Swinub also shrugged his nose quite comfortably, indicating that he was very comfortable, and asked Pryce to step up.

Seeing that Pryce was still unable to enter the oil and salt, the old man on the other side was also quite helpless.

No more beating around the bush, "You know what the above means, now you should give some attitude, if you refuse, you should make trouble, if you agree, you should ask for it, now is not your Pryce style of doing things. "

"Hoothoot—"

suddenly.

far.

A Delibird, dragging a thick sack, flew in their direction.

at the same time.

Pryce only felt the rod in his hand sink.

And at this moment, Pryce's calm eyes flashed, and the old arm violently pulled back the fishing rod.

I see.

A dull-eyed Magikarp was dragged straight out of the water with a hook.

The difference is that this Magikarp is actually pure gold.

The scattered lake water in the fluttering edges looks even more golden under the sunlight.

Seeing this strange-colored Magikarp, even the old man sitting next to Pryce was stunned and blinked.

rustle--

The dense forest leaves rustled, and the emerald green waves surged one after another.

Immediately after, a figure appeared behind Pryce and the old man.

The figure is holding a hat, with a Latios beside him.

"Teacher, big harvest, golden Magikarp."

He slowly raised his head, revealing the handsome young face under the brim of his hat.

The person who came was naturally Xia Yan.

The old man had never seen the change in Pryce's expression before.

But after hearing Xia Yan's voice, Pryce's face melted like ice, revealing a smile.

"coming."

"Um."

The old man next to him was amazed, "I rarely see the old guy Pryce laughing. I didn't expect Pryce to laugh as soon as Xia Yan Elite appeared."

Xia Yan looked at the old man with a little doubt.

It does not hold the so-called Elite status, some are just curious.

Pryce seemed to know that Xia Yan didn't know him, and introduced: "The head of the dragon raising clan next door."

Xia Yan's mouth twitched.

The dragon family next door? head?

The royal dragon clan in the Dragon Cave of Blackthorn City, being spoken out of Pryce's mouth, was instantly pulled down by dozens of grades.

Is this the head of the Dragon Raising Clan? Isn't that Du's grandfather?

And, according to the way Pryce describes it.

Isn't that the famous Dragon Dragon Clan "Dragon Envoy" Du, the younger brother of raising dragons?

interesting.

Xia Yan seems to have realized another "pet name" for Du.

The old man glared at Pryce, not too angry.

Apparently he's used to it.

With a smile, he said to Xia Yan: "Old Yulong Xinxuan."

Then he added, "Du is my grandson."

Xia Yan bowed slightly respectfully, "Just call me Xia Yan, the old man."

For the Yulong family, a big family that has inherited thousands of years of horror, the identity of the Elite Four can't be displayed in front of them.

What's more, this is Du's grandfather, and in terms of Xia Yan's generation, he can also be regarded as his grandson.

only

Pryce gave him a sideways glance.

To be fair, Pryce's seniority was one head short of him.

Pryce is Xia Yan's Teacher, and he is Xia Yan's grandfather, isn't that a younger generation?

This is the reason why the old man deliberately pointed out that he was his grandson.

"Hehe, good." Yulong Xinxuan nodded in satisfaction, ignoring Pryce's eyes.

"Teacher, what about your gym?"

In the face of Teacher Pryce who is really good to him, Xia Yan has nothing to shy away from, and directly expresses his doubts.

Pryce didn't speak, just silently took the golden Magikarp he caught off the hook and threw it into the water with a Contest parabola.

And he didn't answer Xia Yan's question, just said, "How did you practice that move?"

Xia Yan took a deep breath.

Without asking Pryce to answer, he threw the Poké Ball and summoned the little Vulpix.

"Woo~~"

When the little Vulpix appeared, the snow-white soft hair was shaking.

Immediately, some crystals scattered around it, revealing a bit of mystery.

Swinub, who was lying on Pryce's lap, opened his eyes and glanced at the little Vulpix with a little surprise.

Yulong Xinxuan also looked at little Vulpix in surprise.

With his eyes, it is natural to see how well this Vulpix has been cultivated, but it is the crystal-like transparent shiny hairs that can see the excellence of Vulpix.

Not to mention the ability to control the "Snowfall" ability after Vulpix appeared.

Pryce also showed a rare tinge of satisfaction.

"good."

Yulong Xinxuan glanced at him dissatisfiedly, "Is this just good?"

Xia Yan grinned and rubbed the little Vulpix's head.

In fact, he is quite proud of the cultivation of the little Vulpix.

The small Vulpix that reached the quasi-Elite level did not use the top-quality "Ice Stone" given by Pryce, which greatly raised the upper limit of Vulpix.

"Vulpix, absolutely cold."

"Wow!"

Little Vulpix waved his tail, and the green lawn on the ground around him was instantly covered with frost.

Immediately after.

A pale beam spewed out of Vulpix's mouth.

all of a sudden.

The seemingly ordinary pale light beam fell on the lake, and strands of cold air rose instantly, and the lake in front of him was instantly frozen. The originally sunny afternoon actually revealed a bit of chill.

Although it was not impossible to completely freeze the entire lake, just this one hand, it can be seen that little Vulpix's control of this combination move is already superb.

Pryce's certain satisfaction was stronger.

"Skilled enough for the combination of 'Sheer Cold' and 'Ice Beam'."

Xia Yan rubbed his nose and smiled: "Yes, I'm already trying to combine the third move."

Such a combination of moves seems to be just training moves.

But in fact, Vulpix's energy control, rhythm control, physical fitness and many other aspects are being trained.

Yulong Xinxuan also sighed with a smile: "No wonder, after crossing that kid back into the family, the three words never leave you Xia Yan, it's really good. It's just that this Vulpix, my grandson, will be difficult to handle in the future."

Your family understands your family.

The old man knew very well what Du's weakness was.

"Du is also very strong." Xia Yan said, his words were still very sincere.

Aside from the advantage of Mega Evolution, if Xia Yan didn't have Duolong Bart, the outcome between him and Du is really hard to say.

And I heard that he entered the seventh cave of the Dragon Cave not long ago. It is said that it is very dangerous inside. After coming out, it is estimated that his strength will usher in a huge improvement.

The Dragon Cave is the biggest heritage of the Yulong family.

It is the same as Steven's "Cash Capability" and Cynthia's "Dragon's Tomb".

Behind these geniuses, they all have their own background support.

Xia Yan was able to catch up with them and take a step ahead faintly, relying on the advantage of foresight and the opportunity of 100 million points.

otherwise.

Ordinary Trainer, it is estimated that only the abnormal existence of Chi Ye who combines talent and luck can be compared.

"Don't you still have a few dragon-type Pokémons? Call them out to show this old man. He doesn't have any other skills. Raising dragons is indeed the only one in the world." Pryce said.

Xia Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Is there anyone who is better at raising dragons than the Yulong family?

Maybe there is.

There may be one or two in the Draconid Tribe in the Meteor Land, the gods and remnants of Celestic Town, but definitely not many.

In today's Pokémon world, whenever a dragon-type Pokémon is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is often the royal dragon clan of Blackthorn City.

Xia Yan called Latios, and then Shelgon and Sliggoo.

He knew that Pryce was expanding his knowledge.

From Pryce, Xia Yan learned the ice-type move "Glaciate", and at the same time inferring other things, it may also be applied to Infernape and Larvesta, which is a matter of moves.

From Agatha, Xia Yan learned tactics and systems. When he first came up with the idea of ​​building a system, it was also because Saffron City saw Agatha's "Ghost Legion", and then he got Agatha's words and deeds for him in building the legion.

Now, Pryce is helping him make up for his lack of Pokémon Breeder, especially the slow-growing but extremely high-cap Pokémon in Dragon-type Pokémon.

Xia Yan will not copy and copy, but there must be a lot of lessons for him to inherit the Breeder method left over for thousands of years.

"Latios, Shelgon, and Sliggoo from the Xizui period?"

Yulong Xinxuan glanced at Xia Yan's Pokémon, and was surprised when he saw Sliggoo.

Xia Yan is not surprised that the family with a thousand-year heritage is still a dragon family.

There is even a vague expectation.

At the same time, he explained: "It was a coincidence that Goomy evolved into this form."

Yulong Xinxuan nodded and didn't delve into it, just sighed: "The Sliggoo in the Xizui period evolved into dragon-type and steel-type Pokémon due to environmental factors. The dragon-type Pokémon paired with this attribute almost make up for the dragon-type Pokémon. All the weaknesses that Pokémon originally had, there is a lot of potential, a lot of potential."

"This Latios is even better, I can even vaguely feel that it has a very deep heritage. As a divine beast, its growth rate is slower than that of the quasi-god Pokémon, but it is not far from the Elite level now. Elite-level divine beasts can barely be called real divine beasts."

"Shelgon is also quite good, with a plump body, a thick carapace, and an extremely terrifying explosive power within its body. When it breaks its cocoon, I am afraid it will really become a blood-winged dragon soaring above the nine heavens. Now the more important thing is Accumulate, accumulate, and keep accumulating.”

It is indeed the head of raising dragons.

This vision is really unique.

Yulong Xinxuan smacked his mouth and looked at Pryce.

"Pryce, I admit that I'm a little jealous. Why don't you give up your love and let Xia Yan worship me as a teacher?"

Pryce snorted softly.

The difference immediately came out.

At first, Pryce didn't mean to accept Xia Yan, Xia Yan asked for it himself.

Now Yulong Xinxuan actively wants to accept Xia Yan, so the gap should not be too obvious.

He said, "Xia Yan's real Teacher is Agatha, why don't you ask her?"

"Agatha?" Yulong Xinxuan twitched the corners of his mouth.

Who doesn't know that the proudest thing about Agatha is that she has just become a disciple of the Elite Four.

Now to get a piece of the pie?

cough cough-

No matter how big the Yulong family is, they can't stand the trouble of a crazy woman.

Although Agatha acquiesced in the fact that Pryce accepted Xia Yan.

But Agatha and Pryce had a very close relationship when they were young, and the relationship between their Royal Dragon clan and Agatha was not to that extent.

"Cough, then look." Mr. Xinxuan coughed awkwardly.

"Slimy?"

Next to Xia Yan, Sliggoo, half curled up in the shell, blinked and looked at Yulong Xinxuan with white beard and white hair, with a little doubt in his eyes.

'Who is he? ’

"Library—"

Shelgon gave him a sidelong glance.

'do not know. But I heard that he is a dragon breeder, and he is quite good at putting on a show. ’

It has lived in the ecosystem that the Alliance has raised since childhood, and has always had no favors for these dragon-raisers.

"Oss~~"

Latios tapped the two little guys on the heads with one hand.

'Don't talk nonsense, although he is only a dragon breeder, but he is also Xia Yan's elder, we should do what we should do. ’

Latios fully displayed the appearance of being an "older brother", "rebating" his younger siblings.

"Slimy~~" Sliggoo shrank back into the shell again, looking like a good boy.

"Library—"

Although Shelgon was not angry, he still listened to Latios' words very much. He just glanced at Yulong Xinxuan with disdain in his eyes.

Xia Yan, who was standing beside him, pursed his lips and outlined the corners of his mouth.

The little guys are good at acting, and they are really close to Zhu Zhechi.

Yulong Shingen's wrinkled cheeks trembled slightly.

He is a dragon master, how could he not understand the communication of a few little guys?

One bite at a time of "raising dragons", degrading the Yulong family to nothing.

He took a deep breath.

Pulled out a quaint Poké Ball.

"Roar--!!"

The lake that was originally frozen by Vulpix cracked in an instant, and along with the gust of wind, a majestic Dragonite slowly landed beside the old man.

With the advent of Dragonite.

The few little guys who didn't shy away from communicating were breathless.

Immediately, I felt great pressure from this Dragonite.

Xia Yan's eyes narrowed.

Championship level?

Is this the terrifying heritage of the family that has been passed down for thousands of years?

It's no wonder that no one in the Alliance dares to underestimate the Yulong family, even if none of them are Elite Four or champions now.

Seeing the dull expressions of the three little guys, Yulong Xinxuan smiled slightly jokingly.

"call--"

sudden.

Swinub next to him coughed lightly and glanced at Dragonite.

Dragonite's mighty aura suddenly faded.

Dragonite looked up at the sky with his head held high, his fat hands covering his eyes.

The sun is so big today.

Yulong Xinxuan stabbed Pryce angrily, the guy who broke the stage.

At the same time, I was helpless.

Their Yulong clan is good everywhere, and this is where they meet the ice element.

cough cough.

Ordinary ice-type Pokémon are fine, they won't take it seriously.

But Pryce's Ice Pokémon

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the only one among the ice-based Pokémon in this world.

Pryce finally spoke up too.

"Okay, don't play with each other, the old and the young. I won't say much about the relationship between Xia Yan and Du boy. He will definitely benefit from the benefits. Mutual assistance is the status quo of the Alliance, the era of fighting alone. It's over after all."

He said that as if he was talking about Xia Yan and Du, but he seemed to be talking about himself.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands.

Pryce continued, "I know you've already found the Gyarados in Lake Rage for your kid."

Then someone said to Xia Yan: "Xia Yan, go help and catch the Gyarados in the lake, and the old guy will help you to point out a few Pokémons. Latios is not far from Elite, so you may be able to get a lot of benefits."

"Okay." Xia Yan replied with a smile.

Acting in front of these old spirits is really a trick.

After explaining a few words to Latios and the others, they strode towards Rage Lake.

Yulong Xinxuan also smiled helplessly.

Sit back in the chair and watch Xia Yan enter the back of Rage Lake.

He couldn't help sighing: "I'm getting old. Every time I see their generation, I feel like I'm getting old."

As the current patriarch of the Yulong Clan, he has been at the helm of the Yulong Clan for decades. What can't he see through?

Be good to Xia Yan, and Xia Yan will be better to Du in turn.

These things, Yulong Xinxuan knew when he started talking about Xia Yan every time he came back.

He was just making trouble with Xia Yan, recalling the Contest Condition when they were young.

But in the end, it is still not worth the ruthless carving knife of time.

"Are you old?"

Pryce hummed softly.

He was like a vigorous old man before, but now he once again showed the bearing of an ice-type Elite.

The Yulong Xinxuan next to him was not dissatisfied because of Pryce's rebuttal, but was delighted by Pryce's Contest Condition at this time.

"Have you decided?"

Pryce spits a low syllable out of his nose.

"Don't they want my old bones to work for a few years? Then I will help these young people take the helm for a few more years!"

Yulong Xinxuan also restrained his expression and said sternly: "Then next time, it's time to call you the champion of Pryce."

Alliance is not fake, but there are people who really do business.

The dignified Ice Department Elite Pryce resigned, but Pryce felt tired.

Otherwise, who can force him to resign?

The Kanto Johto Region split, and the Johto Region Alliance lacks a presence that can deter everyone.

And that man, the idle Pryce, was undoubtedly the most suitable.

Some things have changed dramatically because of Xia Yan's appearance.

As for why, the person who came to persuade Pryce was Yulong Xinxuan, the patriarch of the Yulong family.

Oh, then the benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

In short.

The Ice King is back with the Johto Region!
