I caught a Pokémon

Chapter 239 The Mosquito Coil Swimmer's Attack

"Game start!"

Seeing that both sides were ready, a sailor acting as referee suddenly swung his arm. The next second, before the two trainers could speak, the two Pokémon ran forward simultaneously, charging towards their opponent.

Although the battle had just begun, Xia You had already thought things through and formulated a strategy.

Poliwag possesses both Water and Fighting attributes. Although Electric-type moves are doubly effective against it, it's safe to say that Poliwag's ability to win in the Fighting Tournament proves that its strength should not be underestimated.

Just in case, it's best not to get close... Thinking of this, Xia You shouted, "Rayleigh, don't get any closer! Keep your distance and use Electric Shock!"

Upon hearing Xia You's command, Rayab suddenly braked, immediately halting its forward momentum, and continuously adjusted its position around the Mosquito Coil Swimmer, always maintaining a fairly safe distance.

At the same time, an electric shock erupted from between the bristles and struck the mosquito coil swimmer.

In terms of speed, the Mosquito Swimmer naturally couldn't dodge the rapidly approaching electric shock. Faced with double the threat of damage, it had no choice but to stop and counterattack with its own moves in order to avoid being hit.

A beam of light, radiating chilling energy, shot from its mouth and pierced through the very center of the lightning.

This move is Ice Beam, an Ice-type move used by many Water-type Pokémon! Because it's quite common, it's not difficult to recognize.

Swish!

However, due to the unequal power, the Freeze Ray shattered the electric shock, turning it into specks of light that dissipated in the air and shot straight towards where Jolteon was standing! But by the time the Freeze Ray reached him, Jolteon had already moved his limbs, almost brushing past him, barely dodging the attack.

As the roles of offense and defense switched, Rayquaza shook its fur and unleashed another electric shock at the Mosquito Swimmer.

The mosquito coil swimmer's breath was slightly disordered.

Unleashing powerful moves also means longer intervals between moves, and stamina will be consumed accordingly, making it impossible to use them continuously without restraint.

This time, it was during a lull in its energy regulation process, so it naturally couldn't use the freezing ray to defend itself!

As the electric light drew ever closer, the mosquito coil swimmer had no chance to dodge and could only watch helplessly as he was struck directly by the electric shock! Crackling and popping sounds filled the air!

Amidst the piercing crackling of electricity, golden sparks flashed across the mosquito coil swimmer's body, and he wore a look of pain.

Despite this, it gritted its teeth and persevered, continuing its charge towards Jolteon. It was clear that Poliwag was desperate to close the distance compared to Jolteon, but Jolteon's agility prevented it from getting close.

Seeing this, Xiao Ying's brows slowly furrowed.

To be honest, he wasn't afraid of having his attributes suppressed at all, but he was afraid of someone like Xia You at this moment, who wouldn't give him any chance to get close!

Just as Xia You guessed, this Mosquito Coil Swimmer has extremely strong fighting ability, which has even surpassed its primary attribute. In past battles, it has defeated opponents who thought they had the upper hand more than once by relying on its fighting ability, turning defeat into victory.

But now, it seems that the man in front of her has seen through her trump card that she relied on to turn the tide!

No, I have to find a way to get close to Jolteon!!

Thinking of this, he quickly changed his strategy and commanded, "Mosquito Coil Swimmer! Aim at Ray's feet and keep using Freeze Beam!"

After catching his breath, the Mosquito Coil Swimmer was able to use the Freeze Beam again. This time, as the beam shot out, it intersected with the Freeze Beam from before, covering half of the field!

The ground beneath its feet was slippery ice, and as a result, Raibou slowed down to avoid falling.

"Great opportunity!" Xiao Ying's eyes lit up and she shouted, "Use Mount Tai Press!" Mosquito Coil Swimmer took the opportunity to get closer, then jumped high, spread his arms and legs, and slammed down on Raybux with tremendous force.

Xia You had already seen through Xiao Ying's intentions the moment she had the mosquito coil swimmer use the freezing ray on the ground.

Since you've gone to such lengths to get close, let's just confront each other head-on and see who can withstand more damage!

Seeing that Jolteon was about to dodge, he said directly, "Jolteon, there's no need to dodge, just use Electric Shot like that!!"

Upon hearing his command, Reibu did not hesitate, immediately standing still and beginning to gather its strength.

The next second, an even more intense bolt of lightning erupted from its body! At the same time, the Mosquito Swimmer had already fallen to within a dozen centimeters of Rayquaza!

Now, neither Pokémon can escape!

Stab it!

boom!

A burst of dazzling golden light caused people around to instinctively cover their eyes.

Unable to see the situation on the field, they could only judge from the sound. It seemed that Mosquito Coil Swimmer's "Mount Tai Press" move had indeed hit Jolteon, and the electric shock had obviously also hit Mosquito Coil Swimmer!

Will it be a lose-lose situation?

As the light dimmed, everyone hurriedly looked over and saw Rayquaza shaking its head, seemingly a little dazed from being hit. However, after regaining its senses, it managed to climb up from the deck.

Xiao Ying's mosquito coil swimmer lay on the ground, its body emitting blue smoke, seemingly charred inside and out!

However, just when everyone thought the race was over, the mosquito coil swimmer unexpectedly got up again after exhaling a puff of black smoke.

What incredible willpower!

Not only was Xia You greatly surprised, but the other onlookers were also stunned by its performance!

Despite being so badly injured, they disregarded their own safety and stubbornly continued fighting for victory!

Still not admitting defeat?

After waiting for a while, seeing that Xiao Ying didn't seem inclined to speak, Xia You couldn't help but glance at him.

What surprised Xia You was that although Xiao Ying frowned slightly, she did not stop her.

Xia You was very puzzled by this.

If it's a life-or-death battle, or a competition of great significance to oneself, then of course one can go all out and fight with all one's might, even if one's life hangs by a thread, one must grit one's teeth and fight.

But now, it's just a casual match, and they're playing so hard; it's really not right.

This is gambling with the lives of Pokémon...

However, Xia You didn't want to persuade him.

He has to walk his own path. Hopefully, he won't regret it later for overworking his Pokémon.

All he can do now is defeat the Mosquito Swimmer as soon as possible and end its suffering.

"Joebu, finish it off! Use Thunder Fang!"

Raybee nodded solemnly. It was also amazed by the willpower of the Mosquito Coil Swimmer, but as an opponent, defeating it mercilessly was the greatest respect it could show!

Chapter 240 Durian Island

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, Mosquito Coil Swimmer seemed to suddenly have a moment of renewed energy, regaining some strength and taking the initiative to launch an attack, unleashing a megaton punch on Raybux!

In an instant, a flurry of punches enveloped Ray.

Despite its imposing appearance, everyone knew that this was its last struggle!

Seeing the trajectory of the fist, Rayquaza nimbly dodged it.

Thanks to the recent discharge and the crushing force of Mount Tai, the frost beneath its feet, formed by the freezing rays, was shattered, allowing it to finally run freely without worrying about slipping.

After regaining his speed, the mosquito coil swimmer was unable to land a single punch due to the shift in power between the two!

After dodging more than a dozen punches, Ray saw an opportunity, suddenly opened his mouth wide, and the next second, his dense canine teeth filled with lightning bit into Mosquito Swimmer!

It's sizzling!

Electricity counters water, triggering double damage—a truly outstanding effect!

The electric current struck the mosquito coil swimmer once again. This time, it didn't even have time to cry out. It collapsed to the ground, on the verge of death!

Seeing this, the referee immediately declared Xia You the winner.

A round of applause erupted from the crowd. Judging from the momentum, they originally thought that Xiao Ying would win, or at least that it would be a close battle. They never expected that this handsome challenger would defeat the rising star Xiao Ying so easily!

That's so surprising!

Even many female trainers cast ardent glances at Xia You.

Seeing that the dust had settled, Xiao Ying, looking embarrassed, took out a Poké Ball, put away Poliwag, and then plunged into the crowd without looking back, disappearing from sight.

Xia You guessed that perhaps the battle made Xiao Ying feel ashamed, so much so that after the battle, he didn't even want to say a word.

Their attitude was completely different from the confidence they had before the battle!

This is understandable, since your Pokémon is so badly injured, the most important thing right now is to give it emergency treatment!

However... speaking of which, this mosquito coil swimmer is indeed quite pitiful. He has a lot of fighting skills, but before he could even use them, he was completely exhausted by the type disadvantage!

Although Xiaoying was unwilling, there was nothing she could do about it.

Pokémon battles are all about flexibility and unpredictability, with every moment filled with unknowns. No one knows what kind of opponent they will face in the next battle, and luck is naturally an important factor in determining victory or defeat!

This match was no one's fault but Xiao Ying's bad luck.

Even if Xia You herself were in this situation, she would probably be helpless.

At this moment, Rayquaza had returned to Xia You's feet.

After defeating Xiao Ying, the scene gradually quieted down. The onlookers looked around and whispered among themselves, but after waiting for a while, no one came out to challenge Xia You.

"never mind…"

Seeing that there was no opponent left, Xia You lost interest in continuing the fight. She simply put away Jolteon and, under the watchful eyes of the onlookers, turned and left with Sabrina.

……

Om-!

Amidst the deafening sound of the ship's horn, a medium-sized passenger ship slowly docked at the port.

After a voyage of more than twenty hours, passing three islands, the passenger ship carrying Xia You and Na Zi finally arrived at Tu Cheng Island at dusk on the second day.

For more than a day now, since her battle with Xiao Ying, Xia You has not made another move.

Firstly, these trainers were generally weak, and although several more battles were held, none of them could arouse his interest like Xiaoying.

As the Indigo League champion, he naturally wouldn't fight indiscriminately regardless of his opponent's strength, as he had done before.

Secondly, Xia You should take this opportunity to spend some quality time with Na Zi, treating it as a vacation to relax with her.

Coincidentally, Nazi was having her period, and Xia You busied herself with taking care of her, pouring warm water and warming her lower abdomen.

Perhaps it was because no one had ever loved her like Xia You had ever done for her since she was a child, so Xia You's actions touched the softest spot in her heart, and all day long, the way she looked at Xia You was extremely tender!

Xia You was naturally unaware of these things.

All he knows is that being good to his woman is being good to himself!

When your woman is at her weakest, isn't it only natural to take care of her?

It's worth mentioning, however, that Xiao Ying disappeared without a trace after his battle with her.

Xia You originally thought that he would regroup and challenge him again to regain his lost face, but now it seems that Xiao Ying must have gotten off the ship halfway through the journey.

Either Poliwag's injuries were too severe, forcing him to seek treatment at the Pokémon Center in town, or he was defeated by the strongest Pokémon, making him realize that victory was hopeless and, not wanting to appear before Xia You as a loser, he fled without a fight...

Regardless of the reason, with Xiaoying leaving, they will probably never meet again.

"Where to now?" Nazi suddenly asked softly, interrupting Xia You's thoughts.

The two stood on the harbor, with the town of Convex Orange Island right in front of them.

"Let's hurry on our way," Xia You suggested, glancing up at the sky. "We're not far from Durian Island, where the last gym is located. Let's get there before the sun sets, and then find a place to stay!"

Naz naturally had no objections.

In fact, at this moment, when she encounters a problem and needs to make a choice, even if she has other different ideas in her heart, she will basically follow Xia You's arrangements.

As if seeing that she agreed, Xia You summoned the fire-breathing dragon, and the two rode it, flying straight towards Durian Island.

Call ~

Flying above the sea.

The sea breeze at this time, perhaps because it was approaching night, became increasingly cold.

Knowing that she was in a special situation, Naz used her superpowers to wrap the two of them in the cold wind.

The flight lasted for more than two hours, until night fell, before finally reaching the airspace above Durian Island.

Because it was too dark in other parts of the island, Xia You had Charizard land directly at the port of Durian Island.

Although it was already night, the place was still brightly lit. Xia You looked closely and saw that a large passenger ship from another region was docked in the harbor.

A large group of tourists disembarked from the passenger ship, making a lot of noise and creating a lively atmosphere at the pier under the bright lights!

It seems to be another island famous for tourism!
