Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

While the bandages provided a slight sense of constraint when lifting the arms and legs, most basic movements could still be performed.

With his head lowered, Polcanion looked at the crowd with less hostility and more hidden gratitude.

"That's good, big guy~"

After clumsily tying a bow around the last remaining wound, Diancie wiped the fine sweat from her brow and revealed a satisfied smile.

Upon seeing this brilliant color, the crimson behemoth remembered the care Magiana had once shown it. Unable to swallow its pride and say anything more, it was about to get up and leave when the two people who had previously harmed it emerged from the street corner and leaped off the bridge.

"I thought it was just a matter of being wary of the princess bringing in outside help, but I didn't expect to gain something unexpected. Don't you think so, Daoka?"

The woman with loose red hair raised her elbow and lightly touched her companion's shoulder, speaking with a hint of pride.

"Yi Sha, don't talk too much about topics outside of the mission."

The man with nasolabial folds between his eyebrows had a somber expression and rarely smiled.

The crowds that had gathered around the alley had gradually thinned out over time, until now the alley was deserted.

"You don't need to come looking for us anymore, Volcanion. Not only Magiana, but you are also very valuable."

A cold wind blew, and in the thin mist, a spherical elf appeared. Then, looking up, a tanuki with an orange-yellow body was already hovering in mid-air.

"Ice Demon Guardian, Alakazam."

Raising the distinctive dial on his wrist, bathed in a dazzling light, the two things he referred to in the words underwent a dramatic transformation, becoming even more threatening.

Zhang He's terrifying jaws and Ice Ghost Guard lunged straight down to the bridge pier, while Alakazam landed on a high place, using its superpowers to control the overall situation.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Feeling genuinely ashamed, and sweeping away his previous arrogance, Polcanion shielded Diancie and the girls behind him, while the intense heat rapidly evaporated the water vapor.

"It's no use, dark eyes."

Emerging from the shadows in its pale form, with a blatantly malevolent smile, the Shining Gengar opened its eyes, preventing anyone from escaping.

"Lord Jarvis."

They bowed deeply, showing utmost respect, and as the two spoke, a man with goggles and flowing purple hair descended from the airship in the sky, riding a machine.

"You two did a great job. I thought the princess had found some capable helpers, but it turns out they were just two maids."

Jarvis scoffed at the sight, wanting to burst into laughter, but his gaze was drawn to the Pink Diamond Princess beside him like a magnet.

"This, this is... a special individual recorded in history books, Tianxi from the Mining Kingdom?"

Abandoning his previous arrogance, the man, though slightly hesitant, quickly broke into a hearty laugh, displaying an air of smug satisfaction.

“This is truly a stroke of good fortune. With her, we have no worries about the economy. Yisha, Daoka, you two come with me and take Diancie back with you. As for these two girls, you can do whatever you want with them.”

He made up his mind in an instant and made some outrageous remarks. Just as he was about to give the order, he saw the white-haired girl raise her snow-white neck and cast a cold gaze at him.

Like a sharp blade, a chill spread from my spine, rushing straight to the top of my head.

Beneath those clear pupils, a dazzling light shone, and a strong wind blew, stirring up her cascading hair.

What are you saying?

The bland narration and concise questioning brought forth a blazing purple light and an ever-increasing sense of oppression.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Perilous Situations and Evolution

"Is there any need to ask? Of course, it's about offering Diancie to me and the Kingdom of Azot, nothing more."

Unfazed by Nan Yin's gaze, Jarvis, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone and in the name of the kingdom, clasped his hands in front of his chest and, impeccably dressed, delivered his address and greetings.

"Idiot's dream."

With furrowed brows and sharp eyes, accompanied by the girl's cold voice, the person's toes gradually left the ground and hovered in mid-air.

She had never experienced such emotional turmoil before. Seeing the man's contemptuous words and actions, and knowing his greedy nature, Nan Yin slowly clenched her five fingers, and then relaxed them.

It is a measure to comfort oneself.

Since gaining both telekinesis and aura, she has never pushed them to their limits, but now...

"What, do you intend to disobey orders? This is the king's land, and you are just commoners without any status."

“We are not your subjects from some remote corner of the world. I had initially thought that Minister Jarvis was a talented man with both political and scientific abilities.”

Pointing her finger at the former, and leaning against Lucario beside her, Korne also voiced her stern question.

Seemingly provoked by the words from a remote corner, the purple-haired man lightly lifted his glasses and let out a cold snort.

"Heh, don't worry, after you offer up that Pokémon, the Kingdom of Azot will not submit to the League."

He slammed his cane down and touched the throne, a muffled thud echoing outwards, as numerous ferocious beasts fell from the airship in the sky.

Aggron, Tyranitar, Salamence, Swampert, Camerupt, Steelix... A massive and intimidating array of Pokémon stood like an army in front of Jarvis.

Without exception, they are all Pokémon with the potential for super evolution, which is the source of the minister's confidence. Just as in ancient times, only those who held military power could carve out a region and exert great influence.

"Now, you only have two choices: either resist stubbornly and end up covered in wounds, or leave willingly and leave the Diamond Princess behind. If you obediently comply, I may even give you some rewards you have never heard of before."

"Rest assured, I will not execute those who disobey my orders. This is my leniency as a minister and my compassion for the people."

Their words were full of disdain for those in a high position. In their eyes, they seemed to be born inferior and unworthy to stand on the same ground as them.

Such a narrow-mindedness is precisely where the feudal system's corruption lies: ignorance, conservatism, arrogance, and a lack of awareness that the alliance has already unified the region, won the hearts of the people, and far surpasses the former in administrative efficiency and resource allocation.

and so--

"Have you finished talking nonsense?"

The best way to deal with a boastful and self-righteous "lobbyist" is to remain calm and respond with concise words, leaving them speechless and empty-handed.

"whispering sound."

Seeing the girl's expressionless face, Jarvis spat, finally unable to maintain his composure and unable to remain elegant.

“If you won’t listen to reason, you’ll have to suffer the consequences. Yi Sha, Dao Ka, you know what to do.”

"Mega Beam Wave".

Raising the scepter, a purplish-black aura surged outwards in waves, causing all the Pokémon touched by it to show pain and change their appearance drastically, some adding more armor, others growing new feathers.

Without exception, the eyes of these elves were all shrouded in a light, a tactic used to induce a forced hypnosis.

"They are under pressure and unwilling to join the fight."

The telepathic connection conveyed the reluctant consciousness to everyone. Tianxi frowned, raised her small hand, and prepared to face the enemy.

The incident was caused by her, and no matter how difficult it is, I must protect the girl and those children.

"Ice Demon Protection, Frozen Wind, Alakazam, Psychic Power."

Just as Jarvis commanded, the massive Pokémon army crashed through the barriers and surged forward.

"Light wall, reflective wall."

With focused concentration, Sylveon erected an invisible barrier across the air currents. If an attack were to approach, it would merely penetrate the barrier and dissipate most of its sharpness.

Instead of rushing to retaliate, given the enemy's superior numbers and our own inferiority, the first thing to do is to remain calm in the face of danger, analyze the advantages and disadvantages based on the environment, and act accordingly.

Avoiding the approaching dragon's breath, she moved lightly and gracefully among the fallen rock peaks. Although the nearby cold wind was biting, there were scorpions standing guard on the rocks and soil, standing in front of her in a defensive posture.

As for mentally stimulating one's thoughts?

Unleashing the full potential of its body and mind, Mega Alakazam's Nen ability is indeed formidable, but its lack of practice makes its moves as fragile as paper. A single, concentrated piercing attack can divide the area inside and out, creating a safe zone.

Varied in knowledge but lacking in expertise, with inconsistent skill levels and accuracy, this is the impression Nan Yin gleaned from their initial exchanges. As for the terrain, although they were positioned below, the space on the bridge piers was not ample, making it difficult to squeeze in too many Pokémon. Rashly launching an attack would only harm their allies.

Besides——

Looking out at the bloated cluster of Pokémon in the distance, their moves seem haphazard, as if they are simply expending energy on instinct. This clue, if used properly, could be a clever tool to exploit.

She stroked the crystal around her neck with her finger. The white dragon of the Dao was her last trump card, and the reason why she could face the crowd without changing her expression.

Being born with an invincible position has always been the premise for Nan Yin's interactions with others.

“Polcanion, I need your cooperation.”

That's the preface, but she didn't want to owe anyone a favor until she was truly in danger.

"it is good."

Putting aside the morning's hesitation, now that things have come to this, and with the healing he just received, how could Polcanion not know that the girl before him was on the same side as him?

With the chips gathered and the opportunity approaching, Nan Yin felt a surge of emotion as she witnessed the overwhelming offensive, her heart trembling and her blood boiling.

Walking a tightrope, overcoming the strong with the weak, and defeating the enemy—this kind of battle is also the kind of drama she cherishes, a source of exhilarating joy. Therefore, the young girl is determined—

Shatter the other party's arrogant perspective.

"Invisible Rock."

By flapping its wing membrane and scattering scattered rock spikes, it has secured and expanded its advantageous position step by step.

"Gengar, Shadow Ball."

Although Jarvis has little experience in combat, he believes that as long as you have enough power, no amount of technique will make a difference.

The pale demon vanished into the shadows, and when it reappeared, it had raised its arm high and was slashing down an energy-filled sphere at the girl from behind.

This was a sneak attack.

However, Nan Yin's keen senses alerted her early on. She ducked to avoid the direct attack, and in the instant before the former could retract his strength, she condensed her power into a beam, gathered her mental energy in her palm, and transformed it into a horizontal blade that slashed down.

Superpower attribute, double the advantage.

Without giving the opponent a chance to break free, Sylveon followed up by waving its ribbon, completely enveloping Gengar's physical form, and then its psychic energy surged from its brow, crushing everything in its path.

Mental shock.

Unable to maintain her footing, Leng Che attempted to salvage the situation with his breath, but it was easily blocked by Bolcanion's tightly clenched arms and legs, causing a pause in the offensive and giving the girl time to finalize her tactics.

"Pray for rain."

As she sang, Diancie, dressed in a wedding gown, prayed to the heavens, which brought forth moisture, and thus, continuous drizzle and thick, heavy clouds enveloped the area.

"A superpowered person?"

Perhaps slightly surprised by Gengar's predicament, and displeased by the falling droplets, the man quickly put aside his suspicions, letting the Pokémon army unleash their attacks.

With such a solid lineup, how could he possibly lose? In the end, no matter how strong those two trainers were, they were just too weak to bear the weight.

It was a relentless bombardment; dragon breath and beams of light, water ripples and flames—the surging energy almost covered the entire area.

However, when the dust settled, the two thin figures showed no signs of being reduced in any way.

Lucario, panting heavily, shattered the scattered rocks, but his expression remained proud. He and Korrina had done their utmost, and then it was time to hand over the battle to the protagonist.

"Thank you for your hard work, Poldkenion."

"......fine."

The previous attack was unavoidable, and they could only endure it. This would have damaged their condition, but the vermilion behemoth stepped forward on its own, using its massive body to block the energy penetration and creating an opportunity for both of them to gather strength.

Despite the scars covering his skin, Porcanion turned his head away, suppressing the pain, unwilling to show his vulnerable side.

Fortunately, this precious free time has been worthwhile.

—Meditation and sword dance.

Whether it's a princess wearing a crown and with flowing skirts, or Eevee tightening its ribbons and gaining momentum, they all use this to accumulate energy and become more energetic.

When facing an enemy several times their size, concentrating superior forces to defeat them one by one is certainly the way to win. However, the little beasts have limited physical strength and cannot maintain their focus and tension for long.

Therefore, a decisive strike must be made before physical strength fails to keep up, thus determining the course of the situation.

Rainy weather is a prerequisite, and the right state of mind is the catalyst. The necessary condition is to combine the advantages of both, unleash all the strengths, and overwhelm the competition with sheer power, clearing the table in one fell swoop.

A sudden burst of white thunder roared, the bridge piers collapsed, and the liberated giant beasts broke through the soil one after another, arriving at their respective locations.

The collapse of rocks, the snapping of claws—driven by their wild instincts, they unleash a brutal assault.

The space was too cramped; even if one wanted to dodge, it would be difficult to escape unscathed from such a dense barrage of attacks.

Unless, someone can replace Bolkenion and once again stop this fierce onslaught.

The young dragon and Munchlax have little fighting power, and Eevee's barrier cannot withstand excessive pressure. Only one little guy who still has the strength to face this physical attack head-on.

Biting down the sharp teeth hanging on its chest, the indigo-blue beast spread its wing membranes, joined its pincers, and plunged headlong into the onslaught of waves, turning its body into a shield.
