He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Oh, are those the Thunder King Kong and his gang?"

Ash listened attentively, thinking about the type combination of Duraludon and then about Xiaoyou's four Galar "Guardians".
They are indeed not superior in terms of attributes.

Even so, did you manage to get the badge?

That's impressive!
He was already looking forward to Yu's performance at the upcoming Galar League Conference.

"Who knows, the final match might be between you and Dan-Die!"

Xiao Zhi smiled, giving Xiao You a lot of affirmation.

However, these are not the main points.

Xiaoyou gradually calmed her breathing, carefully put the badge disc back into her bag, and her originally cheerful expression slowly disappeared.

She suddenly stood up and paced back and forth a few times, as if she was struggling with something.

"?"

Xiao Zhi blinked, completely confused:
Is there something important?

Xiaoyou then sat down again, seemingly having made a decision.

"Well, actually, I have another important matter to discuss with you today."

She hasn't mentioned this to anyone yet.

Originally, she didn't need to overthink things and could just enjoy the moment. As a result, her strength improved by leaps and bounds, far surpassing that of ordinary rookie trainers.

But now, the situation is somewhat beyond her control.

And the only person I can confide in, after thinking it over, seems to be Xiao Zhi right in front of me.

Seeing that Xiaoyou's expression suddenly became serious, Xiaozhi quickly perked up and prepared to listen.

However, when the words reached her lips, Xiaoyou's tone became unusually hesitant, and she looked embarrassed:
"Um, how should I put this?"

"Let me state upfront that what I'm about to say may sound far-fetched or even absurd, but I assure you it's all the truth!"

She straightened up and raised her finger to assure him.

Xiao Zhi blinked, then nodded in a daze.

Come to think of it, he must have encountered even more absurd things, right?

Xiao You then took a soft breath and began to tell her story:
"Actually, over the past year, I've occasionally had some strange dreams while sleeping."

Her gaze shifted slightly, and her voice lowered a little, as if she were recalling the specific scenes from those bizarre dreams.

It doesn't happen every night; it happens every few days or even every few weeks.

Just like when a player picks up a game console to play a game, no one knows when the other person will stop to save their game, or how long it will be before they pick up the console again.

Well, it's a strange metaphor, but she just had this strange feeling.

"But in my dream, I saw another version of myself!"

Xiao Zhi tilted his head in confusion, somewhat puzzled.

Xiaoyou continued:
"Hmm, is it another trainer who's around my age and also a newbie trainer who's just started out?"

"But she decisively defeated gyms in various arenas within a year and collected all eight badges."

"Finally, they participated in the League Tournament, fought their way into the finals, and even defeated Mr. Dandi."

Xiao Zhi: "."

What kind of light novel/fantasy story can I read?

Dan Di is known as the "Undefeated Champion," and his strength is definitely among the best, even among regional champions.

Many people even think he is the strongest trainer in the world today.

Even with the Victini, a "speed-boosting artifact," his Galar team wouldn't dare say they could defeat Leon.

If he really faces Dan in the finals, he will most likely recall his veteran players to help him out.

"So, is there a problem?"

Ash crossed his arms and frowned. It seems pretty normal, right? After all, who hasn't dreamt of defying the heavens?

Xiao You shook her head, her expression resolute:
"No, it's definitely not just a beautiful dream!"

"Because it's so real!"

The travel routes and experiences of her alternate self in the dream, and many places, correspond to the places she later arrived at in reality.

Of course, it's not 100% identical, but it's at least 80% or more.

For example, her Galarian-style Double Gas was captured in the Southern Forest of Dreams based on her dream experiences.

"The progress in my dream is far ahead of my current progress."

It's not that my memory is playing tricks on me.

For example, while she was still vying for her first badge in Grass Road Town, she dreamed that night that she was already beating up Mr. Maga in Spike Town and had won her sixth badge.

"I knew absolutely nothing about Battle Town before, let alone had ever been there."

Xiao You took the second cup of tea from the Mr. Mime doll and moistened her throat.

Because the story was so bizarre, even the Mr. Mime temporarily put aside their training and came over to listen with curiosity.

"But when I actually arrived in Battlegrounds and was about to challenge the arena there, I actually found the hot springs and Bob's Steakhouse in Battlegrounds based on my memories from the dream!"

"The location is perfect!"

Ash's eyes narrowed, and a bold idea quietly surfaced in his mind.

It can't be again...
Across from her, Xiaoyou's voice quickened, almost uttering the words in one breath:
"And it's not just about the travel experience, but also about another 'self' in the dream about Pokémon training, team composition, and tactical choices."

"And the trainer's on-the-spot command and battle style are things I've never seen before!"

But she can use all of this knowledge about dreams!

She paused, her cheeks gradually flushed, and her voice became more complicated.

Before these strange dreams appeared, she was just an ordinary Galar rookie trainer.

However, thanks to the knowledge and perspective gained from these dreams, her understanding of Pokémon far surpasses that of ordinary people!

Especially in terms of experience in team composition, he far surpasses that of the average trainer.

Even her current core four generals—the four "Guardians" of Galar—are paired up based on dreams.

As far as she knows, no one in Galar has a team that matches hers yet.

"As for my trainer level, hehe~ well, I've also benefited quite a bit from that~"

At this point, Xiaoyou tilted her head back and chuckled dryly a few times.

Her trainer skill level improved by leaps and bounds!

After all, the other "self" in the dream is very similar to oneself, whether in command, rhythm, style, or tactics.
It all feels very fitting for her.

With a little imitation, everything became hers.

"So I haven't lost a single time since I started this trip."

Aside from a tough match against Cibana a few days ago, he has won overwhelmingly against everyone else.

It's extremely rare for both sides to fight to their limits, leaving only one Pokémon in a 50/50 situation.

"I see."

Xiao Zhi stroked his chin and nodded heavily.

Now, the doubts are resolved.

No wonder Mari and Hop are both excellent rookie trainers.

However, Xiaoyou still holds a significant lead, and her strength surpasses that of the other two, making her unpredictable.

So, it turns out I'm "enhancing my speed" every night while I sleep! (End of Chapter)
