I caught a Pokémon

He wouldn't be afraid of just a few Interpol agents, but the man and woman in front of him were infamous within Team Rocket. They had defeated both elite troops and the four officers. So, just hearing their names during the discussion was enough to send chills down the spines of the ordinary team members!

What bad luck, how could I have run into them!

He dared not underestimate his opponents any longer. He took out several Poké Balls from his waist, and with a flash of blue light, three Pokémon appeared in front of them.

Xia You looked around at the three Pokémon; they were Sneasel, Zubat, and a Gastly!

I really don't understand. These Pokémon are already pretty good, so why did he go to Elm's Labs to steal starter Pokémon?

Chapter 286 Water Lord

"As expected..." Seeing Silver put up a stubborn resistance as predicted, the handsome man raised his hand and released his Growlithe and Delinquent, and shouted sternly, "I knew you wouldn't surrender, so don't blame us for using force to arrest you!"

Since she wasn't the main character in this battle, but merely assisting the handsome guy, Xia You only released Gardevoir and the newly appeared Gengar, using two Pokémon to prevent Silver from escaping from her direction, just as the battle was about to begin.

Meanwhile, Sabrina released Alakazam and the Slowking she had caught in the Orange Islands to protect her flank.

"Growlithe, use Flamethrower! Frogger, use Sludge Bomb!"

As the handsome guy gave the order, Silver shouted, "Sneasel, use Ice Wind! Zubat, use Air Blade! Gastly, use Shadow Ball!!"

In an instant, the five Pokémon began to fight, with various moves flying through the air. Roars and painful cries echoed in the forest, scaring away the wild Pokémon that had been peeking out from the surrounding area.

At this moment, the situation on the field is three against two. Although the handsome guy is slightly at a disadvantage in terms of the number of Pokémon compared to Silver, he doesn't have to hold back because of Xia You and Sabrina's Pokémon restraining him. He can attack to his heart's content.

This allowed him to suppress Xiao Yin from the very beginning!

Boom! Boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, and under the continuous attacks, sturdy trees with lush branches and leaves kept falling.

After watching for a while, seeing that the handsome guy couldn't take down these Pokémon for the time being, Xia You suddenly ordered Gardevoir to use Psychic while Zubat had just finished unleashing its move. The next second, Gardevoir launched a sneak attack, catching Zubat off guard. Zubat lost control of its body and crashed into a rock!

Now that the handsome guy's pressure was greatly reduced, he took the opportunity to command his Pokémon and beat Silver into a complete rout!

cut!

Xiao Yin was annoyed by the harassment.

This Interpol agent in front of me is already difficult to deal with, not to mention there are two other men watching me like hawks!

Seeing that the battle was going badly and that he was indeed no match for these people, he began to think about fleeing.

No, we can't keep going on like this!

He gritted his teeth and had his three Pokémon work together to temporarily force the handsome man back. At the same time, he immediately commanded them to act together, intending to concentrate their firepower and try to break through the gap next to Xia You!

Seeing the three Pokémon turn their attention to him and charge towards him, Xia You knew his intentions and naturally wouldn't let him have his way.

With a wave of his hand, Gengar and Gardevoir joined forces and unleashed their ultimate moves simultaneously. The vast difference in power quickly sent them flying back.

Damn!

Xiao Yin cursed under his breath, but had no choice but to turn his attention to Naz.

Although rumors within Team Rocket say this woman is extremely powerful, in Silver's opinion, she is, after all, just a woman. Even if she has superpowers, she is definitely not as good as those Pokémon with superpowers. Therefore, she should be easier to deal with!

Unfortunately, he still misjudged who the most troublesome person was!

Faced with Silver's breakout, Sabrina didn't even need her Pokémon to intervene. With her hair flying, she used her psychic powers to unleash a ruthless and powerful energy that swept towards Silver, instantly knocking him and his Pokémon to the ground.

boom!

Xiao Yin was knocked to the ground by telekinesis, her head spinning violently. Not only was her face pale from the injury, but her heart was also in turmoil!

That's impossible!!!

How can this woman be so strong?!

This is beyond the realm of human capability!

Damn it, at this rate there's no way to escape!

"Don't waste your energy." Seeing Silver fall, the handsome man ordered his two Pokémon to shrink the encirclement. "These two people in front of you are not someone you can handle right now. You should just give up and fight back!"

They say even a cornered beast will fight, but Silver, this still-developing Team Rocket beast, is clearly unable to break free of their cage!

Faced with the relentless pursuit of Growlithe and Croagunk, Sneasel, Zubat, and Gastly were all badly injured after the brief but intense battle and had no energy left to fight back.

However, just as the handsome man took out handcuffs and was about to arrest him, a dazzling light suddenly shone on the surface of the lake next to them!

This sudden turn of events immediately attracted everyone's attention.

As the light faded slightly, Xia You squinted and could vaguely make out that the center of the light was actually a Pokémon!

This Pokémon was standing on a protruding rock in the lake. Because the light had not yet faded, its appearance could not be seen for the time being. It could only be identified as a four-legged beast-shaped Pokémon. However, its elegant appearance was still evident from its fur that flowed with the light and its two long tails that looked like ribbons.

"What kind of Pokémon is this?"

The handsome man covered his eyes and asked loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, the light disappeared, and everyone could see its appearance clearly!

But upon closer inspection, it was even more astonishing!

Its unique appearance makes it instantly recognizable!

"It's Suicune!!!" the handsome guy exclaimed in surprise!

Suicune's body is blue-green with white blocky patterns, and it has a blue sapphire-like headdress and two white ribbon-like tails.

According to legend, it was originally one of three unknown Pokémon that were burned to death in the Burnt Tower. It was later revived by Ho-Oh and transformed into Suicune, becoming a legendary Pokémon. Because of Ho-Oh, it was also known as the Ho-Oh Guard, along with Entei and Raikou.

Even after seeing it with his own eyes, the handsome man still seemed unable to believe his eyes.

"This is impossible! Why would the legendary Suicune be here!?"

No one could answer his question.

For Xia You, despite having already seen and captured many legendary Pokémon, seeing Suicune still made him incredibly excited.

He quickly took out his Pokédex from his pocket and pointed it at Suicune.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Drip, Suicune, the Aurora Pokémon, Water-type, is one of the Legendary Pokémon. It possesses the gentleness of a spring within its body, seeking out places where clear water flows. It glides across the land and has the power to instantly purify dirty water. It is said that when it appears, a north wind will inexplicably blow, and it will run away with the north wind, making it the embodiment of the north wind."

At this moment, Suijun's calm eyes also turned to them.

As their eyes met, they understood why Suicune had come here.

As a peace-loving and powerful Pokémon, it apparently heard about the fighting and believed that Xia You and his friends were disturbing and disrupting the peace of the forest, so it made a special appearance to stop them!

Chapter 287 Dr. Kongmu

As soon as Suicune opened its mouth, a thick white mist drifted in from all directions, enveloping everyone.

The thick fog arrived very quickly and was extremely dense, turning everything into a white expanse with visibility less than a meter. This caused Xia You to lose track of everyone else in an instant.

Fortunately, he could still make out the half-blurred figures of the two Pokémon beside him, which kept him from panicking.

At the same time, Gardevoir and Gengar hurriedly approached Xia You, protecting him and cautiously looking around, on guard.

Xia You called out loudly in Nazi's direction, "Nazi! Are you alright?"

Naz's steady voice followed immediately.

"I am fine."

Judging from the distance of the sound, the white fog did not cause people to lose their sense of direction; it only obstructed their vision and did not cause any other impact.

Just then, the handsome guy's voice came from the other side: "I'm fine too, but I can't see where Xiao Yin is now! And there was a red light flashing in front of me a few times just now!"

Is there a flashing red light?

Xia You knew that the appearance of red light usually meant that someone had used a Poké Ball to recall their Pokémon!

Is Little Silver planning to escape under the cover of fog?!

Nodding to the Gengar beside him, Xia You instructed, "Quickly blow away this thick fog!"

"understand!"

Gengar took a deep breath and then suddenly exhaled into the air. The next second, a strange wind blew in, quickly dispersing the thick fog.

When the white mist completely disappeared, they hurriedly looked towards where Xiao Yin had been, but there was no trace of him anywhere!

"Damn it, he managed to escape!"

The handsome man's expression changed drastically. He looked around, but all around was a dense forest, and there was no trace to be found!

Xiao Yin's escape also means that his operation has been a complete failure!

It was such a waste of energy, and in the end, he returned empty-handed. This disappointment was undoubtedly a blow to him!

When they came to their senses and looked at Suicune again, they found that it had also disappeared!

"Damn it!" The handsome guy punched a tree, annoyed. "I really don't understand why Suicune helped Silver!"

Xia You shook her head: "Actually, Suijun didn't want to help him, but to stop the fight. I think even if it were someone else, Suijun would have intervened the same way."

After saying that, he ordered the Pokémon beside him, "Stop standing there! Everyone, quickly split up and search! Whether it's Silver or Suicune, finding either one is fine!"

Upon hearing his command, Gardevoir, Gengar, Sabrina, and the handsome guy's Pokémon all scattered to search for Silver and Suicune, but after searching for more than half an hour, they found nothing.

"Forget it!" When everyone gathered again, the handsome guy sighed, seemingly resigned to his fate. "Looks like they've already run far away. This time, it's a complete and utter failure!"

"It's not like we came away empty-handed," Xia You said, glancing at Sabrina, who was still clutching the Poké Ball she'd snatched from Silver. "At least we got Professor Elm's Pokémon back!"

"That makes sense." The handsome man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, which made him feel a little better.

The three of them put away their Pokémon, retraced their steps, left the forest, and returned to New Leaf Town.

It was past 11 p.m., and all was quiet. The whole town seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and there wasn't a single pedestrian on the street.

The Empty Wood Research Institute remained as calm as ever; clearly, the people inside were unaware that the institute had been secretly intruded upon once.

The handsome guy yawned and said, "Professor Elm must be resting by now. Anyway, we're not in a hurry. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to return the Pokémon. Now, let's find a place to rest."

Xia You naturally had no objections, but instead of going to hotels and inns, they went to the Pokémon Center near the research institute.

Miss Joy, who was about to fall asleep, was wearing pajamas and a face mask when she heard someone enter the hall. She had to get up again to greet them.

"I'm sorry to bother you at this time. I hope I've disturbed your rest." Xia You felt embarrassed looking at Joey's outfit.

If they had known Joey was already asleep, they would have walked a little further and stayed at a hotel for the night.

“It’s alright.” Nurse Joy waved her hand. “The Pokémon Center caters to trainers like you. Many people are like you, arriving late at night. I’m used to it!”

While they were talking, Joey also arranged two dorm rooms for them.

It has to be said that although staying at the Pokémon Center is very convenient, with everything free, it's a pity that because it's a dormitory, men and women have to be separated. Xia You has no choice but to share a room with this handsome, single old man tonight, despite her reluctance.

To be honest, he and Naz had gotten used to each other since they started sleeping together, and this was the first time they had been apart.

With soft jade in her arms every night, Xia You had always lived a carefree life. Now, all alone, she couldn't help but feel a little out of sorts.

Sigh, I miss Nazja during the first hour after we parted.

Even after the first hour and five minutes since I parted ways with Naz, I still miss her!

Fortunately, after the lights were turned off, the handsome guy chatted with him for a long time. The two talked about Pokémon, then about work, and then about competitions. While deepening their relationship, Xia You also heard the handsome guy talk about his experiences as an Interpol officer, which broadened her horizons and allowed her to hear many new and interesting things.

That night, Xia You didn't sleep well, feeling empty beside him. He finally made it to dawn and saw Na Zi, which filled his heart with joy again.

The three of them had breakfast at the Pokémon Center before visiting Professor Elm.

During the day, the Skywood Research Institute is more lively, with many researchers walking around inside, looking quite busy.

In the studio, they met Dr. Kumoki.

Dr. Kumo wasn't very old, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He wore a white doctoral gown, round glasses, and had a unique hairstyle that looked like a sea urchin!

The group introduced themselves, and it was only after they reminded him that Professor Elm realized that one of his Pokémon was missing from his research lab!

Xia You handed the Poké Ball back to him. Professor Elm took it, looked at the Poké Ball, and sighed, "So it's Totodile's Poké Ball. I'm such a failure as a professor; I didn't even know my Pokémon was lost!"

"What are you saying, Doctor?" the handsome man laughed. "It's because you're too busy with your work and neglect your meals and sleep. Besides, Ruoye Town has always been very safe. That thief obviously scouted the place beforehand and knows your routines very well, so you were naturally caught off guard!"

Despite being comforted by the handsome young man, Dr. Kongmu still felt extremely guilty: "Sigh, no matter what, this is my fault. Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your timely help, the children who were supposed to start their journey from here in the next few days would probably have been disappointed!"

Chapter 288 Rejecting Kindness

At this moment, Dr. Kongmu turned his attention to Xia You.

"You said your name is Xia You, right?" He pushed up his glasses and said with a hint of excitement, "I know your name!"
