I caught a Pokémon

However... Xia You was more worried about another issue at this moment...

I was so impulsive last night that I didn't know how to control myself and didn't take any safety precautions. Looking back now, I'm actually a little scared.

Chapter 223 Subduing Slowking

After lunch, Ash and his friends boarded the speedboat that Mei had repaired and left Asia Island with a heavy heart.

Although Ash left, his mother Hanako unsurprisingly stayed behind.

This single mother, who feels somewhat lonely due to her son's travels, will only return to Pallet Town with Professor Oak after he finishes his research here.

Although Xia You didn't want to look at the issue from a narrow perspective, the various signs before her made her wonder if there was some special relationship between the two of them.

However... Xia You wasn't in the mood to study these gossips right now, as he also had his own troubles to deal with.

After he and Naz finished packing, they did not leave immediately, but left their luggage in the room for the time being, and then set off for the altar on the other side of Asia Island.

There, there is a rare Pokémon waiting for Sabrina to catch.

Walking through the dense forest, Xia You looked to both sides and saw that the trees here had all suffered varying degrees of frostbite due to the previous freezing by the Thunder God.

Fortunately, although the branches and leaves look withered, it is generally fine and still maintains its vitality.

At this moment, the surroundings were quiet and there was no one else around, so the two of them finally had a chance to be alone together again.

Along the way, Xia You wanted to say something, but seeing that Na Zi was the same as always, and her attitude towards him had not changed at all, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Logically speaking, after something like this happened, she should at least demand an explanation, right?

Why does she seem... somewhat indifferent?

After all, she's the one who's at a disadvantage!

Xia You was completely baffled, but after thinking about it, she decided to remain silent.

never mind…

Naza's personality is unpredictable; she must have her own plans. It's best to wait for her to speak first.

The two traversed the forest, climbed over a cliff, and finally reached the altar, where they once again encountered the talking Slowking.

At this moment, Slowking was standing with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the sea, like an old man who was at peace with the world. Hearing someone approaching, he turned his head to look at them.

"Ah...it's you guys."

It was clearly a little surprised by Xia You and the other person's visit again.

"The end of the world has been averted, the sea god has left this place and sunk into the sea, and this year's festival has come to an end. You have no reason to step onto this altar anymore."

"You're mistaken...of course we have other motives..."

Xia You glanced at it with pity, shook her head, and then took a step back, letting Nazi step aside.

The protagonist of this capture battle is Sabrina, who doesn't need to participate herself; this is her stage.

Slowking was still unaware of its fate. When it saw Sabrina approaching, it looked completely bewildered until Sabrina took out a Poké Ball, at which point it couldn't help but sigh.

"This is a headache," Slowpoke said with a troubled expression. "I don't want to fight you, and I don't want to leave this island. Could you please leave and just pretend you didn't see me?"

If it were Xia You herself, upon hearing Dazedow say that, she would definitely respect its thoughts and choose to give up on capturing it. Unfortunately, she was facing Sabrina, who was "ruthless" and "used her superpowers to manipulate the weak"!

Sabrina coldly stared at Slowking, completely disregarding its wishes, and released her Pokémon.

She's determined to have this talking Pokémon!

The next second, a flash of blue light appeared on the altar, and a Yakira appeared.

Seeing this, Slowking wanted to continue arguing with Sabrina, but Sabrina seemed to ignore him and, through telepathy, directly instructed Yagira to launch an attack.

Yagira raised the spoon, and instantly unleashed a burst of psychic power, heading straight for Slowking!

Fortunately, although Slowking looks silly, unlike its unevolved form, it is extremely intelligent and has been secretly watching out for Yagira's every move.

It stretched out its hand and used its superpowers to resist.

boom!

The two energies converged in the air and then canceled each other out, so for a moment neither gained an advantage.

Xia You looked around and then found a flat rock, sat down on it, and became a spectator. She even had the leisure to release a few of her Pokémon to watch with him.

In terms of attributes, both Kadabra and Slowking possess the Psychic attribute. However, unlike Kadabra, which only has the Psychic attribute, Slowking also has the Water attribute, which gives it a certain advantage in battle.

However, it cannot be said that Kadabra is at a disadvantage. After all, with Sabrina in command, not only are the moves used more rationally, but they also have an extra pair of eyes to find the weaknesses that Slowking exposes during the battle.

In the arena, the two Pokémon were fighting back and forth. Xia You watched for a while, then turned to Gardevoir and smiled, "It seems that you're not the only one improving. Sabrina's Kadabra is also growing very fast. I still remember the scene when you fought it when we challenged the Goldenrod Gym. Thinking about it now, it feels like it was just yesterday."

Gardevoir nodded slightly as it looked at Kadabra. As a fellow Psychic Pokémon, it could naturally sense two powerful forces colliding with each other.

A water gun flew past Xia You, drawing his attention back to the battle.

It's unclear how long this Slowking has lived. It's clear that its moves are incredibly powerful. But despite its strength, it doesn't seem to be very good at fighting. It's obviously a wise character and doesn't exercise much. It's already panting heavily after only fighting for a short while!

Moreover, because it was too smart, it couldn't focus on the game. It looked at Xia You's Pokémon beside it, especially the Gastly that was grinning at it, and worried that they might rush up at any moment.

Hearing Xia You's voice from the side, Na Zi glanced at him without making a sound.

Kayser was quite concerned that Kayser couldn't defeat Slowking quickly in front of Xia You.

After all, regardless of gender, everyone wants to show their best side to the person they like, and even superpowered beauties are no exception.

Thinking of this, she used telepathy to tell Yamkira to stop, and then slowly walked up to Slowking.

Dazed looked at Sabrina with suspicion, thinking she wanted to back down.

But a second later, Sabrina stretched out a hand and aimed it at the dog, and then a terrifying burst of psychic power erupted, directly enveloping it!

In an instant, before Slowking could react, he was knocked down by this force!

Despite its exceptionally high intelligence, it had clearly never encountered such a situation before, and it certainly hadn't expected that a human could use superpowers!

What makes it even more troublesome is that this woman is much stronger than Yongira!

In fact, not only it, but even Xia You was stunned.

Unexpectedly, as the fight progressed, Sabrina took matters into her own hands!

Could it be that after watching Yagira fight, he couldn't resist joining in and wanted to try his hand at it too?

Or perhaps only Pokémon that you personally capture will become more obedient!?

Xia You scratched her head, looking puzzled.

At this moment, Slowking had already struggled to get up, but just as it was about to resist, a second and a third wave of psychic energy came one after another, knocking it down again.

Slowking was suffering physically, and at the same time, he was also lamenting in his heart.

It seems that freedom is a distant memory...

It had already exhausted a lot of energy fighting Yakira, and was now unable to continue fighting this terrifying woman.

Seeing that Slowking had given up resisting, Sabrina decisively took out a Poké Ball and threw it at it.

Chapter 224 Fluura's Thoughts

When Xia You and Naz returned to Asia Island, Professor Oak and Professor Negi had just arrived at the banquet hall.

The group met briefly and nodded to each other in a friendly manner.

The festival was over, and the people on the island returned to their normal lives. Everyone had left, and with Ash and his friends gone, the island became even more deserted.

Upon entering the hall, Dr. Uchiki took out a laptop from his backpack, opened a document, and displayed it to Xia You.

"Take a look. This is the information we gathered from our investigation yesterday and today. Although it's just a draft, the general direction won't change. All that's left are some details that need to be revised again."

"Me?" Xia You raised an eyebrow, surprised. "This is, after all, the research result of two PhDs. It doesn't seem appropriate for someone like me, an outsider, to see it..."

“It’s alright,” Professor Oak interjected. “Actually, we added your butterfly effect idea without permission, so strictly speaking, you also deserve credit for this paper.”

Xia You felt ashamed.

The butterfly effect was not his original idea. It was fine to talk about it before, but to include it in his paper now made him feel ashamed and somewhat guilty.

However, this matter involved his identity as a time traveler, as well as the background and worldview of the time and space he belonged to, so he couldn't say it outright. He could only bite the bullet and move closer to the screen.

Under their gazes, Xia You gently pressed the down arrow.

After reading only a few lines, he realized that this was a highly academic paper, with some formulas and terms that he couldn't understand at all! Moreover, the long passages of text made his eyes dizzy!

Most importantly, as the most renowned Pokémon scholars, Professor Oak and Professor Nemu's expertise is beyond question, so Xia You dared not express any opinions recklessly!

Fortunately, neither of them expected Xia You to figure anything out; they simply wanted him to get involved.

Pretending to read on, Xia You indeed found his own passage about the butterfly effect. And at the end, he also discovered that his name was written after the two doctors' names in the signature section!

"Why did they write my name on it? This... isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Dr. Uchiki waved his hand: "You are a direct participant in the incident, so of course you have the most say. Besides, Dr. Oak has already agreed to this, so you can rest assured."

Professor Oak added, "Uniki is right. We were just using our brains. If it weren't for you and Ash solving the problem, we wouldn't be in the mood to do any investigation here. Besides, aren't you an investigator from Sakuragi Lab? Bringing you in would be quite fitting for your role."

"Ok."

Xia You sighed softly.

It is foreseeable that his name will become known to other practitioners as his papers are published.

Although he won't pursue a career as a Pokémon scholar, and this matter won't bring him any real benefit but will only make more people hear his name, there's nothing more to say now that it's done.

Saying any more would be a complete disservice to the two doctors' good intentions.

……

After such a long delay, it's finally time to leave.

Xia You packed her luggage and arrived outside the banquet hall with Sabrina. She casually summoned Charizard and prepared to head to the next gym island.

The two doctors chose to stay because they needed to continue their research. They simply saw them off at the door and then stood there for a while.

Upon hearing that Xia You was leaving, Flura and Xiaoyou also came to see her off.

On the steps, Flura looked at Xia You with a complicated expression.

After these two short days of contact, she had to admit that she did have a good impression of Xia You, especially the scene in the spaceship's iron cage, which made her heart flutter!

Not only is he handsome, but he also possesses the legendary Three Holy Birds, but...

Watching his busy figure, Fluura knew that this parting might be the last time she would ever see him again.

Unexpectedly, their budding love was ruthlessly nipped in the bud.

Ah, if only he could stay here forever...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel bitter, and she took out her flute and put it to her lips.

Then, a melodious yet slightly melancholic tune drifted out, echoing throughout the entire town…

No matter how unwilling she was, unfortunately, some things cannot be changed according to human will.

On the other side, Xia You naturally wouldn't notice the girl's thoughts. She was just a little surprised by her cold attitude. She was such a cheerful girl before, how could she feel sad about parting?

He waved goodbye to everyone, then helped Sabrina onto Charizard's back. Just as he was about to climb onto Charizard himself, Flura suddenly called out to him.

"Xia You...please wait a moment!"

This was the first time Fluura had ever called him by his name.

Xia You turned around and saw Flura walking quickly forward, opening her arms, and giving him a big hug amidst everyone's confusion.

Confused, he was about to say something when he saw Flura tiptoe and give him another light kiss on the cheek.

Looking up at Xia You, Flura said with tears in her eyes, "Don't overthink it. It's just a farewell kiss, as is customary."

“Fruula…” In the distance, Xiaoyou looked at her younger sister, hesitant to speak.

She had also worked as a festival girl, so she knew that there was no custom of a farewell kiss...

It was all Fluura's own doing. Without a doubt, it must be her younger sister who had fallen for the man in front of her.

Xiao You sighed softly to herself. Unlike the others who were still kept in the dark, she had cleaned Xia You's room after he and the others checked out and found some tissues used for wiping their bodies in the trash can. She naturally knew about Xia You and Na Zi's relationship.

Silly sister, not only is there an age gap between you, but he already has a girlfriend. Stop having unrealistic fantasies...

Having already experienced it once, Xia You didn't think too much about it.
