Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

Hoenn, the wild forest between Huolin Village and Kamuen Town.

A tall and pretty girl walked in it in a slightly embarrassed manner, adding a touch of brightness to the gloomy and dark forest.

There were still a few leaves hanging on her head, and her clothes were torn in several places by branches, revealing her fair skin with faint traces of blood on it.

"Finally, we're almost there..."

Xiao Ling took a leaf out of her hair and said to herself in a tired voice, "I don't know how Master Itachi is doing. I hope everything goes well for him."

Master Itachi often guides Xiao Ling in practicing martial arts, which gives her a lot of help.

As the half-apprentice of Master Itachi, Xiao Ling was very worried about his safety. From the solemn expression of Master Itachi, Xiao Ling knew that the bad guy behind him must be very powerful.

Although her master Itachi has always been powerful and is deeply rooted in her heart, and it is also one of her grandfather's strongest main Pokémon, the opponent is a crazy dark organization that kills without blinking an eye. Who can guarantee safety?

"I'm still too weak..."

Xiao Ling clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with determination. "If I had the strength of Grandpa, I would fight alongside it and would never let it be left alone!"

It turned out that after Master Itachi discovered that the pursuers behind him were strong, he thought quickly and made a decisive decision.

One person will stay behind to cover the rest of the way, letting Xiao Ling go first.

Its characteristic is self-sacrifice, and its character is also willing to sacrifice itself for important people.

In its heart, Xiao Ling is not only its master's granddaughter, but also an apprentice who teaches it kung fu and fighting, and a relative who has watched it grow up since childhood!

It couldn't guarantee victory, but at least Xiao Ling could escape, and it could live up to its master's expectations...

Master Itachi is very smart and considerate.

In order to prevent Xiao Ling from being quickly caught up by the enemy after its defeat, it came up with an idea.

Since Xiao Ling walks slowly, how about letting her "fly" for a while.

As for the method…

That is to use the skill - throwing.

The original effect of throwing is to quickly throw out your own props to attack, and different props have different effects.

However, Master Itachi used it very cleverly and flexibly. He did not throw props, but instead threw people.

It aimed Xiao Ling in the direction of Fuyan Town and threw her into the air with great force, like a cannonball. She disappeared in the air with a "whoosh" and turned into a star.

Just like the Rocket trio in the anime, every time they are defeated by Pikachu's 100,000 Volts or some other skill, they will fly into the sky and exit gracefully.

After sending Xiao Ling away and watching her fly away, Master Itachi felt at ease. He used sword dance and meditation to strengthen himself while quietly waiting for the pursuers to arrive...

……

At this time, Xiao Ling picked up another leaf that was embedded in her hair when she fell from the tree, and scratched her messy head.

After flying a long distance, she fell from the sky and landed in a big tree, waking up the king swallow and the proud swallow who were sleeping in the nest. They all chased her angrily.

Xiao Ling finally managed to escape by taking advantage of the cover of night and with the help of other passing Pokémon groups.

Although her image was definitely not something Feng could ever see, the danger behind her was temporarily avoided. She only needed to move forward and defeat the Pokémon that sprang out of the darkness.

Walked a distance.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer nocturnal Pokémon around, and the occasional "cooing" sound heard overhead disappeared, replaced by the chirping of the Swallows.

Xiao Ling looked up at the sky.

As the night gradually faded, the eastern sky began to turn a faint pale pale, and the edge of the sun began to appear, like a shy girl, slowly peeking out from behind the horizon.

"It's dawn..."

The sunlight dispelled the fear in Xiao Ling's heart, rekindled her hope, and light appeared in her eyes.

"Lalu~"

"Chamo!"

Ralts and Flame Chicken came out of the Poké Ball and stayed by her side, protecting her and warming her.

We walked for a while longer.

The clouds on the horizon looked like paint splashed casually by a painter, gradually changing from dark blue to light purple, then to gentle pink, and finally to dazzling gold.

The color of the sky also became brighter, changing from dark blue to light blue and then to clear sky blue.

After walking through another forest, Xiao Ling saw a dilapidated signpost.

It says:

Ahead - Fuyan Town

……

Two days later, at the hot spring hotel in Fuyan Town.

This place is located at the foot of Chimney Mountain. The air is filled with a faint smell of sulfur and the thick mist brought by the hot springs, which makes people feel warm and moist when it falls on the skin.

"So, Master Itachi defeated Team Magma's cadre Bonfire all by himself?!"

Feng's surprised voice came from Xiao Ling's communication bracelet, and it was particularly clear in the quiet and deserted hot spring women's bath.

"Yeah, that's really exaggerated. The chief scientist of the Lava Team just ran away like that."

Xiao Ling was wrapped in a bath towel, and she tentatively touched the slightly hot spring water with her toes, causing a ripple that spread out.

She slowly immersed her body in it, and said with a hint of regret:

"Unfortunately, she was too cautious. Even when her own Pokémon was seriously injured, she refused to let the King Swallow descend. Later, when she escaped, she flew even higher. That's why Master Itachi couldn't catch up with her."

"What happened next?" Feng asked.

"As soon as I arrived in Fuyan Town, I knocked on the door of the police station. After Miss Junsha confirmed the matter with me, she went to find Master Mura, and we returned to the forest together."

Xiao Ling slowly lowered her body into the hot spring, leaving only her head above the water. "On the way, we met Master Itachi who was heading this way. We learned that Bonfire had been defeated, so we took advantage of the situation and headed towards Huolin Village together."

"Oh? Your team dares to break into Huolin Village, not to mention the Lava Team headquarters." Feng clicked his tongue.

A retired Fire King, a powerful King-level Pokémon that can defeat the leaders of the Magma Team, Miss Junsha from a big town, and... Xiao Ling.

"By the time we got there, Bonfire had already slipped away, taking with him the very thing Team Lava had spent so much time and effort crafting."

Xiao Ling leaned her back against the wall of the hot spring pool and continued, "But almost all of her men were captured. Only a small number escaped, and we also discovered their underground base."

"According to the experimental records, Team Lava seems to be trying to use the large amount of earth vein fire energy to create a replica of the vermilion orb. The withering of the fire tree in Huolin Village is inseparable from this."

"Wait, something's wrong."

Feng frowned. "Didn't the withering of the Fire Tree happen many years ago? Wasn't the Lava Team not yet established a base in the village at that time?"
