I became the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world

After hearing Xia Zhihai's request, An Liu showed a strange expression, thinking: Why do young people nowadays want these strange stones? Shouldn't they prefer elves with excellent qualifications or rare resources?

"Okay, let's go back." An Liu shook his head helplessly and summoned Pidgeot at the same time.

Xia Zhihai and An Liu sat on the broad back of Pidgeot together, and Pidgeot flapped its wings and flew towards Lake City.

During the flight, An Liu looked at Xia Zhihai and suggested: "If you want to challenge the gym, you can probably do it tomorrow. But today, I think you can go to Lake City for a tour. The scenery here is quite nice."

"I'd better give up and go back to the hotel to train with the elves." Xia Zhihai shook his head and said.

"As you wish."

Not long after, Pidgeot arrived at Lake City, and Xia Zhihai and An Liu went their separate ways. Xia Zhihai returned to the hotel, turned on the computer and began to search for information.

Before leaving, Crown of Buds told him the exact location where Palkia was sleeping.

However, Xia Zhihai didn't know the exact location, so he needed to find it to confirm.

After about half an hour of research, Xia Zhihai finally figured out where Palkia was hiding, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "So it's there."

The border between Dragon Country and Snow Country.

Originally, that place was not very dangerous, but due to the fusion of the secret realm and the real world, a mountain range and numerous forests now appeared there, completely covering the area.

Therefore, there is still a certain degree of danger there.

But fortunately, Xia Zhihai now has a strong backing, and if he can't win, he can seek support... such as the Flower Crown King.

"It's at the junction. It looks like we have to start from the north city. The journey is quite long. We should wait until the ultrasonic larvae evolve before going." Xia Zhihai muttered and turned off the computer.

The temperature in the north city is extremely low, and Xia Zhihai doesn't want to hike across a mountain range in the snow and ice, as that would be asking for trouble.

Shaking his head, Xia Zhihai stopped thinking about it, turned around, took the Poké Ball and walked towards the training room, and began to concentrate on training his Pokémon.

New days come quietly as time goes by.

Just as the Lake City officials had sent people to Shennong Forest to verify when Xia Zhihai was concentrating on training Pokémon in the hotel, the next day, the news appeared in the official newspapers and TV stations of Lake City... Shennong Forest will be established as a protected area, and trainers will no longer be allowed to approach it.

After reading the news, Xia Zhihai had breakfast, put on his backpack, carried the Poké Ball, left the hotel, and walked straight to the Lake City Gym.

Shouldering the important task of tracking down two mysterious elves, Xia Zhihai deeply feels that he urgently needs to become stronger.

When he arrived at the gym entrance, it was the burly man from yesterday, who seemed to be waiting for Xia Zhihai here on purpose. Upon seeing him coming, he immediately came forward and said with a smile, "Trainer Xia Zhihai, you are here. The gym owner is waiting for you inside."

"Please lead the way." Xia Zhihai also responded with a smile.

"No problem, please come with me."

The man nodded in agreement, then turned and led the way.

The gym battle area is also located deep inside the first floor.

After passing through a door, what comes into view is a specially designed standard battle field, which does not have any attribute bonus features.

At this moment, Xia Zhihai saw An Liu, who was standing there, as if waiting for Xia Zhihai's arrival.

"Xia Zhihai, I have already informed the authorities about the reward you mentioned yesterday. They promised to help you find it, and once found, they will deliver it directly to the Yangcheng authorities, who will then pass it on to you." An Liu turned around and said with a smile.

Xia Zhihai nodded after hearing this. "So, can we start challenging the gym now?"

"Haha, it seems you can't wait." An Liu laughed, "Xiao Wu, you be the referee."

"clear."

The man who had led Xia Zhihai to the scene quickly stepped into the center of the arena, raised the flag, and was ready.

"The rules of the competition are one-on-one, the venue is a normal type, and the winner will receive a gym badge!"

Xiao Wu announced loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zhihai threw his Poké Ball without hesitation. "Metal Monster, come out!"

"Metal monster?" An Liu was surprised. Although he knew that Xia Zhihai had a Vulcan Moth, he had never expected that he had a metal monster. Although he was surprised, An Liu quickly sensed the strength of the metal monster and took out a Poké Ball.

Amidst the flashing red light, an elf appeared on the battlefield.

"Come on, Miss Skirt."

A figure who seemed to be wearing a long green dress came into Xia Zhihai's sight.

This is an elf with white spotted flowers on its head and a crown woven with golden filigree. It is wearing a green dress and looks like a gentle and lovely daughter of a noble family.

Miss Skirt, a grass-type elf.

Because of its beautiful appearance, it is loved by other Pokémon and is also loved by many ladies in the so-called upper class of human society.

"Miss Qun'er?" Xia Zhihai was a little surprised and glanced at An Liu. He didn't expect that this bronze-skinned strong man actually had such a soft and beautiful elf.

"Hey, what's that look in your eyes?" An Liu seemed to have sensed the misunderstanding and said helplessly, "Don't be fooled by my appearance. I also have a pure heart."

This is the heart of a girl, not the heart of a child.

Hearing this, Xia Zhihai's eyelids jumped and he couldn't help but cover his face. "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's just start fighting."

"Okay." An Liu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Then, An Liu's expression became serious and he gave the command, "Miss Qun'er, use Green Grass Field and Butterfly Dance!"

Miss Skirt gave a pleasant cry and waved her hands. Tender green buds instantly appeared on the ground beneath her feet and grew and spread rapidly.

The entire site was soon covered with green.

Then, Miss Skirt prepared to dance.

Xia Zhihai gave the order without hesitation. "Metal monster, move at high speed first, then use the metal claws to interrupt its movements!"

Currently, the skills mastered by Metal Monster include: metal claws, ghost mask, iron head skills, iron wall, mind hammer, high-speed movement, telekinesis, electric shock, electromagnetic waves and lightning fist.

Although the number of skills is limited, especially when facing Grass-type Pokémon like Miss Skirt, the effects of the three electric-type moves mastered by Metal Monster will be greatly reduced, because the power of electric-attribute moves is halved against Grass-type Pokémon.

The metal monster was moving very fast, but just as it was about to rush in front of Miss Qun'er, An Liu's voice suddenly rang out, obviously having predicted this moment.

"Miss Skirt, release the magic leaf!"

Miss Skirt, who was originally performing the "Butterfly Dance" posture, suddenly shot out countless magic leaves, which densely hit the metal monster and caused some damage to it.
