I caught a Pokémon

Sabrina glanced at him and bluntly exposed him: "Tired? Apart from fighting a few battles with those trainers on the ship, didn't you spend most of your time sleeping in bed? How can you feel tired?"

Stretching her slightly sore back, Xia You laughed and said, "It's because I've been sleeping the whole time that I feel tired. On a small passenger ship like this, the constant rocking with the waves makes it impossible to get a proper rest; in fact, it makes you even more tired."

At this moment, Gengar also emerged from Xia You's shadow. It looked around, sniffed hard, and said in surprise, "Is this the Johto region? This is my first time here, but the air and the surrounding buildings seem no different from Kanto!"

“They do look the same,” Xia You explained. “After all, they all belong to the same continent. They are just divided into two regions because of the Quartz Plateau. Even the City Alliance is located on the Quartz Plateau, just like Kanto!”

Gengar shook his head: "If that's the case, why not just integrate them? The Indigo League and the Silver League, calling them all over the place is such a hassle."

Xia You patted its head with amusement: "Come on, these are two regions after all. How could they possibly merge into one? And if you look closely, you can still find that there are big differences between them. Compared to Kanto, the air in Jodo is obviously more humid and more urbanized. Moreover, Buddhism and Shinto culture are very prosperous here, and there are still many differences in local customs."

"Hmm?" Gengar looked at Xia You strangely and asked in surprise, "How do you know so much?"

Xia You shrugged: "I didn't just sleep on the ship. When I was bored, I also flipped through the travel guide, and all this knowledge came from the guide."

In addition to what he said, Xia You also vaguely remembered that when the map of Pokémon was designed, the Kanto region was based on the real Kanto region of Japan, while the Johto region was based on the Kansai region and part of Shikoku Island. Therefore, the two regions can really be considered to have originated from the same source.

Of course, this is a secret about being a time traveler, and it cannot be easily revealed.

Although Sabrina is his woman and Gengar is his Pokémon, both are extremely loyal. Even if they knew he was a transmigrator, they probably wouldn't care. But it's better if as few people as possible know about this!

As they spoke, they had already entered the urban area of ​​Jihua City.

Yoshihaya City is just an ordinary city in the southern part of the Johto region, so there is no gym here. Just like its name suggests, the fragrance of flowers and the sea breeze are its biggest features!

Flower beds are scattered throughout the city, blooming with many delicate and beautiful flowers.

These flowers come in many varieties, mostly in shades of red and pink, and are quite beautiful. However, Xia You doesn't know much about plants, so she can't name most of them.

If Rika were here, she would definitely recognize them all, right?

The two walked along the street, past several quiet high-rise buildings, and arrived at the Pokémon Center. It was only then that he noticed that the residents here seemed to live at a very slow pace, and there were very few vehicles passing by on the street.

However, now that they had arrived in the capital, the first thing Xia You did was naturally to log into the Alliance Conference in the capital!

Only after logging in will he be eligible to challenge the gyms here and eventually challenge the Indigo League!

After crossing the zebra crossing, Xia You opened the door and entered the Pokémon Center. Hearing the sound, Nurse Joy, who was organizing documents at the front desk, looked up, saw them, and stood up with a smile.

"Welcome! How can I help you?"

Xia You was too lazy to complain about why Joey and Officer Jenny were all over the world; you could basically see them wherever you went.

"Hello, Miss Joey, I'm here to log in for the Silver League challenge."

Joy smiled and extended her hand: "Okay, no problem, please give me your Pokédex."

Xia You handed her the Pokédex and watched her connect it to the computer. While waiting, he idly took a look around the Pokémon center.

Compared to Kanto, this Pokémon Center is nothing special, with a similar decor and function. Even Nurse Joy's outfit is exactly the same as in Kanto.

However, apart from them, there was only one trainer sitting at the table having a meal, which showed that this quiet little town was indeed quite remote.

Meanwhile, in front of the computer, upon seeing Xia You's message, Joey covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Oh my, you're the champion of the Quartz Conference? I can't believe you've come to challenge our Silver League! Let me see... wait, did you just win the Orange League trophy? You've won two trophies in such a short time, that's amazing!"

"Not at all, it's all thanks to the hard work of my colleagues. It really has nothing to do with me," Xia You quickly said politely.

"You're too modest," Nurse Joy chuckled, covering her mouth. "How could a Pokémon's growth be completely unrelated to its trainer?"

After Nurse Joy finished logging in, she returned the Pokédex to him and gave him a new badge collection box.

"Welcome to the Silver League! Good luck! I have high hopes for you and wish you continued success in winning the Silver Tournament!"

I never expected that Joey would think so highly of him.

With a smile and a shake of his head, Xia You left the Pokémon Center. Now, the second thing he needed to do was to contact the handsome guy.

After all, he remembered that the handsome guy had specifically called to tell him to contact him as soon as he arrived in Johto and help him deal with Team Rocket here.

Now that so much time has passed, I hope nothing major has been delayed.

The two arrived at a restaurant and had lunch while Xia You dialed the handsome guy's number.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered, and before Xia You could speak, the handsome man on the other end asked, "Hello? Have you arrived in Chengdu yet?"

Xia You hummed in agreement: "I called you as soon as I got here."

"That's great!" The handsome man sounded delighted. "We've just finished the Team Rocket eradication mission in the Kanto region and are currently mobilizing our forces to Johto. We expect to be fully deployed within the next day or two, and we're really looking forward to your help!"

Xia You's brow twitched, and she said helplessly, "So, what do you need me to do?"

"Of course, it's about taking down those heavily guarded Team Rocket bases." Hearing Xia You's tone, the handsome guy laughed, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "How about this, I'm carrying out a special mission in Wakaba Town. If you're free, come and meet me here!"

"Wakaba Town?"

Upon hearing the name, Xia You was taken aback. Wasn't this place near Jihua City? What a coincidence!

"Okay, you wait for me there. I estimate I'll be there by tonight!"

Chapter 282 The Girl with a Baseball Bat

According to the map, Wakaba Town is located to the east of Yoshihide City. The straight-line distance is not very far, but because there is a large forest in between, which is not only lush with vegetation but also home to many wild Pokémon, the road is a bit difficult to travel.

However, this place is a paradise for novice trainers. After obtaining their first starter Pokémon, they can try their skills and capture some weaker Pokémon to expand their strength.

After leaving Jihua City, Xia You and Na Zi traveled eastward along a country road.

I wonder what mission the handsome guy was on in Ruoye Town that led him to end up there!

It's important to know that Wakaba Town is just a small town on the outskirts of town, and apart from Professor Elm's research institute, there's nothing worth Team Rocket's attention.

Could it be that Dr. Kumo's research institute has been ransacked?

While speculating, the two walked along the way, enjoying the scenery and encountering many wild Pokémon.

However, perhaps because it is too close to Kanto, Pokémon flow between the two regions is extremely frequent. Therefore, even here, you can still see many wild Pidgey and Rattata, which occasionally pop up in the forest.

Of course, in addition to the Pokémon from the Kanto region, there are also many Johto Pokémon such as Oolong, Cuckoo, Ladybug, and Spore that appear here.

After walking for a long time, until they entered the area of ​​Ruoye Town, Xia You suddenly saw a girl in the distance, standing at the edge of the forest, trying to catch a Gugu!

As he got closer, he could see clearly that the girl was very pretty. She was wearing a yellow and black striped jacket, had two long, low ponytails, a white baseball cap, and shorts that reached her upper thighs, revealing her two fair and slender legs. She was holding a baseball bat and was shouting something energetically!

Xia You's first impression of her was that she was like a die-hard fan of a baseball team!

In front of her was a Chikorita, which was pawing at its forelimbs, seemingly ready to charge and deliver the final blow to the Tail-Headed Serpent.

Upon closer inspection, the chrysanthemum leaf has a light green body, a dark green leaf on its head, a ring of buds around its neck, a head that is quite large compared to the rest of its body, big red eyes, four short legs each with a toe with a nail, and a small tail.

This was the first time Xia You had ever seen Chikorita in person. Out of curiosity, she took out her Pokédex and pointed it at it.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Chikorita, a leaf Pokémon, Grass-type. Chikorita is gentle and loves to bask in the sun. It uses the leaves on its head to sense the temperature and humidity around it and find warm places. Although it will wave its leaves to intimidate its opponents, the sweet fragrance emanating from the leaves will calm both sides down."

It has to be said that as one of the three starter families in the Johto region, it is quite popular. It's just a pity that Xia You has no interest in it.

At this moment, looking at the tailed beast again, it had already been injured several times and was running out of strength. It was thinking about how to escape, but when it saw Xia You and Na Zi appear, its eyes lit up and it ran straight towards them without hesitation!

Seeing this, the girl shouted, "Chikorita, don't let it get away! Use Tackle!"

Just as Kiku was about to use her ramming attack, she saw that Tail had already circled behind Natsume and Natsume, and hesitated before stopping.

In that brief delay, Wei Li, with the help of Xia You and Na Zi, plunged into the nearby forest and disappeared without a trace!

"Ah! My second Pokémon!!" Seeing Ootori, which was about to be hers, escape, the girl deflated like a punctured balloon and plopped down on the ground.

Xia You also looked back at the direction where the tail had disappeared.

All I can say is, Ootake is incredibly clever...

They even know how to use them as cover!

Shaking her head, Xia You was about to leave when she heard the girl behind her shout, "Hey, you two, don't go!"

Looking back, they saw her stand up again and jog over to them.

Xia You asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"You dare ask what happened?!" the girl said angrily. "If you hadn't suddenly appeared, how could Wei Li have run away!"

Her voice sounded crisp and clear, with a strong Kansai accent.

"Is this my fault?" Xia You shrugged. "It was clearly because you weren't able to catch it that it escaped. You can only blame yourself for not defeating it sooner, which caused you to miss the opportunity!"

"I don't care, you're the ones who are getting in my way!!" The girl waved a baseball bat, looking quite cute with her aggressive gestures.

Seeing that the girl was being unreasonable, Naz frowned and wanted to teach her a lesson.

Fortunately, Xia You quickly grabbed her hand, preventing the little girl from getting hurt.

After taking a quick look, he recognized the girl from her clothes and appearance. After all, she had appeared in the anime several times, so he had a pretty good impression of her.

This is also the main reason why Xia You wasn't angry. After all, he's a grown man, why should he get angry with a little girl?

After a moment's thought, Xia You asked with a smile, "So what do you want to do?"

Unexpectedly, Xia You's smile made the girl blush.

Wow, this man is so handsome!

She looks so beautiful when she smiles!

Actually, she didn't mean any harm. She was just angry that the Pokémon she was about to get escaped, and she was slightly resentful that Xia You just left like that. That's why she rushed over without thinking!

Seeing Xia You being so polite, she felt a little embarrassed after she came to her senses.

Seeing the girl hesitate and look embarrassed, Xia You smiled and said, "Judging from your appearance, you must be a new trainer, right? Since you didn't catch this Osprey, it just means it's not meant for you. If you feel it's a pity, you can go into the forest and try your luck to see if you can meet it again, or you can simply change your target and catch another Pokémon, right?"

"I...I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now..."

Hearing Xia You say that, the girl lowered her head and played with the baseball bat in her hand, as if she wanted to study it thoroughly.

"It's alright." Xia You waved her hand, and seeing that she hadn't said anything for a while, she knew that everything should be fine, so she said goodbye, "Then keep up the good work, goodbye!"

After saying that, he and Naz left without looking back.

"Huh? Goodbye... goodbye..."

The girl opened her mouth subconsciously, and only after watching Xia You slowly leave until she disappeared did she belatedly realize what had happened and angrily tapped her head.

"You big idiot!!!"

At her feet, the chrysanthemum leaf glanced at her curiously, its little head filled with great confusion.

Just as it was wondering what its trainer meant, the girl suddenly sighed, "Sigh, I haven't even asked his name yet. Oh well, there should be another chance to meet him. I'll wait until next time!"

Chapter 283 Little Silver

Wakaba Town, the town where the winds of awakening begin.

If Pallet Town, the starting town in the Kanto region, is just a cozy little town, then compared to it, Wakaba Town is definitely a small city!

Although in the game it is just a remote town with a small population, when Xia You actually set foot here, she found that Ruoye Town was much more prosperous and larger than Zhenxin Town!

The town not only has many high-rise buildings, but also has all kinds of facilities such as shopping malls, schools, hospitals, and amusement parks. Even the Pokémon League of Johto has built a Pokémon Center here to serve new trainers!

However, like Yoshihana City, Wakaba Town is also relatively quiet, with few residents on the streets, and they all seem to be in no hurry, indicating that the pace of life is extremely slow.

As the two entered the town center, Naz was clearly still concerned about what had just happened.

She glanced at Xia You and said casually, "I've noticed that whether it's Xiaoxia, Koharu from Sakuragi Labs, Flura from the Orange Islands, or that girl just now, you seem to be particularly friendly towards cute girls. Don't you have some kind of special fetish for them?!"

Upon hearing this, the hairs on Xia You's arms stood on end!

Danger! Danger! Danger!

"Hey, hey, hey, don't talk nonsense!" His heart was pounding, and he quickly denied it. "I just treat them as friends, um... or as very close younger sisters. I have absolutely no improper thoughts. Besides, didn't you see how well I take care of Xiaozhi? That's called mentoring a junior. How can you say I have any special fetishes!"

Naza stared at him for a while: "Really? I was just saying, but you seem really nervous."

"Why am I nervous?!" He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feigning nonchalance. "It's just that your question is very dangerous. If someone overhears it, they might really think I'm some kind of bad guy!"

Fortunately, Naz didn't press the matter further, which relieved Xia You.

Moreover, he remembered that Naz had asked a similar question before. Could it be that his recent behavior had been too outrageous? So Naz had noticed something?

The sixth sense of this superpowered girl is truly amazing!

To stop Nazi from asking any more questions, Xia You quickly took out her phone and contacted the handsome guy again.

This time, the two arranged to meet at a coffee shop, and Xia You easily found the place using navigation.

This is a small corner coffee shop. Although it was getting late, there weren't many customers since it wasn't dinner time yet.

When Xia You entered the store, she immediately spotted the handsome guy sitting furtively in the corner.
