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

Coming out of the theater, Feng was still thinking about the drama he had just watched: The Masked Lady, The Magic Masked Cat, The Three-Headed Dragon...

Although the plot is simple and even a bit clichéd, it has a unique flavor when combined with the unique style of the Pokémon world and the turbulent actress.

For dinner, Feng entered a large hot pot restaurant. The restaurant was crowded and bustling. As soon as he entered, the rich smell of hot pot hit his nose.

Feng chose a seat by the window, ready to enjoy the sea view while enjoying a sumptuous hot pot. However, Xuanla didn't like the steamy atmosphere and took the initiative to return to the Poké Ball, leaving Feng without such a portable air conditioner.

At the table next to them were two young trainers, who seemed to be traveling together to attend the Sinnoh League Conference.

The waiter came over enthusiastically and handed over the menu. Feng thought for a moment and ordered some dishes and drinks that he liked.

At this moment, a small fire dragon appeared in their sight. It was about half a person's height, its body was fiery red, and there was a small flame burning on its tail. It looked very cute.

The little fire dragon walked to the table with small steps, shaking its flaming tail as if to say hello to Feng. Then, it opened its mouth skillfully and spit out a weak flame, which accurately ignited the alcohol lamp under the hot pot.

After completing the task, Charmander gave Feng a sweet smile, bowed deeply, then turned and left, leaving a string of sparks flickering in the air.

Seeing the ignited Charmander, one of the blond young men at the table next to him said enviously, "I wish I could capture one too. Charizard is a very powerful Fire-type Pokémon."

Another short-haired young man encouraged, "Then keep going! If you can get into the top three of the league conference, you'll have the opportunity to go to the league's breeding base to select Pokémon."

The yellow-haired young man sighed: "Alas, it's too difficult to be in the top three..."

Feng actually agreed with what he said in his heart.

Any Pokémon below the Gym Leader level can participate in the League Conference. However, achieving a good ranking requires more than just tactics; the Pokémon's qualifications, number, skill pool, and training resources are all crucial.

And there must be at least six elite Pokémon, otherwise how can we reach the finals?

At this time, the little fire dragon came over again, brought all kinds of ingredients, and placed them on the table one by one. With its arrival, Feng clearly felt a hint of coolness, which seemed very comfortable in this hot hot pot restaurant.

After serving the dishes, Charmander turned around to leave when he accidentally bumped into a bearded uncle. He was about to get angry when he bumped into him, but then he saw Charmander bowing and apologizing, so he snorted and ignored him.

Seeing that he had passed the test successfully, Charmander breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking towards the kitchen.

Feng had some impression of the bearded uncle. He had occasionally come to the battle field before the start of the Jinlang Cup. There was an old builder who was as strong as a gym owner.

Feng didn't care about this little thing. He picked up a piece of meat from the plate with chopsticks and planned to throw it into the pot to rinse it.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, his hand paused, and the chopsticks holding the meat stopped in mid-air.

The water in the hot pot was bubbling. Two trainers at the next table were clinking glasses and drinking. The hot pot restaurant was still noisy. Everything seemed normal...

But it seems a little abnormal.

Feng frowned and a drop of sweat ran down his forehead.

"Why does Charmander bring him a chill?"

"It's a Fire Pokémon!"

Realizing this, Feng turned stiffly and looked at Charmander who had not walked far.

Feng felt something was amiss as he watched it leave, so he opened its attribute panel. However, he found nothing special about it; it was just an ordinary elite-level Pokémon with few skills and no items.

Then, when Feng was about to take a look to see if there was an invisible Lao Liu nearby, he accidentally noticed the shadow of Charmander.

Name: Geng Gui

Attributes: Poison, Ghost

Level: 53 (Gym Owner)

Features: Spell Body

Qualification: Master level

Item: Spell Talisman

Skills: Hypnosis, Shadow Ball...

A gym leader-level Gengar? He can also hypnotize?

Why does it stay in Charmander's shadow?

Gengar has the ability to lower the temperature of the surrounding area, and it is its existence that makes Feng feel cool.

Feng's heart was filled with shock and confusion, but his expression and movements remained calm. He put the meat in the hot pot as if nothing had happened, as if he had not seen anything.

Pokémon at the gym leader level were beyond his ability to handle, not to mention the elusive ghost-type Pokémon.

From the skill pool of this Gengar, it can be seen that it is definitely a Pokémon of a certain trainer, but no one knows who its target is. When Feng looked over again, Charmander and Gengar were nowhere to be seen.

"what happened?"

Feng thought of the strange boy during the day. Could it be that his performance did not fool him, and he was still being targeted? Or maybe he just happened to encounter this Gengar, and it had other goals.

A sense of danger spread throughout Feng's body, but the more dangerous it was, the calmer he became, constantly thinking of a solution in his mind.

Thinking optimistically, neither the weird boy nor Gengar directly showed their dangerousness. Maybe Feng was just too sensitive and suspicious. There was nothing wrong. He was just fighting wits and courage with the air.

But when traveling alone, Feng had long been accustomed to expecting the worst. He couldn't rely on luck when faced with these things, and gamble with his life. Winning the bet wouldn't do him any good, but losing the bet would mean losing his life.

What if I was their target? What if that Gengar was coming for me?

"It's better to be safe than sorry. This situation isn't unsolvable..."

Feng has experienced similar situations before, and there are two solutions.

One is to go from open to covert and hide oneself, just like how one dealt with the hunter organization in the Orange Forest.

The second is to find a backer and use him to find and annihilate the enemy, such as Xiao Ling's master Itachi who destroyed the navy fleet that boarded the ship at that time.

Thinking of this, Feng had an idea.

……

After eating, it was getting dark.

Feng slipped into a shadow in an unnoticed corner of the restaurant, then hid in the shadow of a customer and left the hot pot restaurant. After repeatedly confirming that no Pokémon had followed him, he left the shadow and went to his own training room.

But this kind of sneaky approach is not a long-term solution. It is impossible to live in the shadows for a month on the ship. I need to find a big shot to protect me.

It just so happened that Feng remembered that Liuyin would also participate in tomorrow's competition. If someone really intended to do something bad to him, Feng could use Liuyin and her female bodyguard to annihilate them. At the very least, he could make the enemy retreat.
