I caught a Pokémon

Xia You took out a Poké Ball and recalled her Gyarados, fearing that it would go berserk and continue attacking Xiao Chun's Gyarados after seeing blood.

At this moment, A-Du came down the stairs and stood in front of the group.

"So, Xiaochun, are you convinced of your defeat?"

A-Du made a joke, but was met with silence from Xiao-Chun.

For Xiaochun, this was truly a complete and utter defeat!

Especially after those last two battles, she developed a strong aversion to the 'biting' technique!

Whether it's Altaria or Gyarados, they both fell into the gaping maw of their opponents!

Turning to Xia You, Adu asked again, "By the way, how exactly did you raise this Gyarados? Not only is it extremely powerful, but most importantly, its aura and ferocity are something I've never seen before!"

In fact, Xia You often wondered if his Gyarados had broken its head during its evolution, leaving it with a mental disability. As a result, it only knew how to pull and bite, and liked to fight with its opponent's flesh!

"Perhaps it still has a wild streak." After thinking for a moment, Xia You smiled and said, "After all, those Pokémon that have been captured by trainers often focus more on the power of their moves after being trained, and are unwilling to trade blows, so they rarely fight according to their instincts anymore!"

Actually, there's one more thing Xia You didn't mention: for other Pokémon, battles are just regular fighting, but for Gyarados, it's always been about slaughter!

"I see." Hearing Xia You's explanation, A'du suddenly understood, and then eagerly said, "Now there's one of the Four Heavenly Kings standing in front of you. How about it? Now is a rare opportunity. Do you want to fight me? I can't wait!"

"Forget it." Without hesitation, Xia You shook her head and refused. "I don't have that plan yet. Let's wait until after the Silver Tournament!"

Chapter 319 Young Kiras

As Sabrina walked up to Xia You, Xiao Chun took out the Inkstone Dojo badge from inside her clothes.

"Please accept this. It is the Rising Dragon Badge, proof that you defeated me."

Xia You thanked him, took the still-warm badge, and played with it in her hand for a few moments.

The shape of the Rising Dragon Badge is a blue dragon head, but because it is a smooth mirror surface, it has no facial features or obvious characteristics, and it is impossible to tell which type of dragon Pokémon's head it is. At first glance, it looks more like a dark-style steel mask!

After he put the badge into the badge collection box, A-Wu casually asked, "Where are you going next? Are you going to challenge a gym?"

Xia You weighed the options in her mind.

Since Lance had fought alongside him against Team Rocket, he told him about their upcoming trip to Cage Town to deal with Team Rocket.

In any case, given the status of the Four Heavenly Kings and the investigators, these things don't even qualify as leaks.

"What!? There's a Team Rocket base there!?"

Upon hearing this news, A-Du, Xiao-Chun, and Kabu were all greatly shocked!

It's important to know that Cajon Town is not far from Blacksmith City, and it's extremely close to the Blacksmith Gym. In other words, the enemy is hiding right under their noses, yet they haven't discovered them yet!

"That's terrifying!" Lance sighed, stroking his chin. "Team Rocket was right there, and we didn't even notice! Have they infiltrated to this extent!?"

Suddenly, Xiaochun frowned as she remembered something: "If there really is a Team Rocket base in Kaji Town, then Bishas's base is very likely there! And after he escaped this time, there is a high chance that he will escape back to that base!"

“Yes, you’re right.” Adu pondered for a moment, then looked at Xia You solemnly, “Are you sure it’s true that there’s a Team Rocket base in Kaji Town?”

"It shouldn't be wrong, after all, it was the handsome guy who notified me, and I think the Interpol should have already verified it." Xia You nodded. "And this time, I was invited by the handsome guy to help deal with the Team Rocket executives. By the way, do you want to come along? I think the handsome guy would be very happy to have you join us!"

A-Du thought about it and was about to agree, but in the end she refused.

"I'm afraid it won't work this time." He said apologetically, "Although I really want to arrest those guys to avenge the attack on the Holy Land, there are more important matters waiting for me in Guandu. I've already wasted too much time here, and I really can't delay any longer, and besides..."

At this point, A-Du suddenly drew out his words and said with a smile, "...And I believe that with you here, those Rocket Team members are definitely no match for us, there's no need for me to even step in!"

"..." Xia You shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm just an ordinary person, you think too highly of me..."

"Is she really just an ordinary person?" A-Du laughed. "An ordinary person wouldn't be able to beat Tsubaki so badly!"

Hearing that A-Du was making fun of her, Xiao Chun rolled her eyes, but she was powerless to refute it.

In fact, Xia You also knew that, just as Adu had just said, the handsome guy and his team must have made meticulous plans for this operation. Even if Adu went, it would only be icing on the cake and would not have much impact on the raid on Team Rocket's base.

However, Xia You had only mentioned it casually on a whim, and seeing that A Du refused, she didn't say anything more.

"That's settled then. Now that my objective has been achieved, I should take my leave!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Adu and the others escorted him all the way to the gate before waving goodbye.

……

After leaving Yanmo City, Xia You and Na Zi headed northwest.

Their destination was Kaji Town, which was only half a day's journey away!

This time, however, Xia You did not follow the same route as before, taking the snowy path again. Instead, she chose to cross the mountains and take the relatively gentle mountain road.

Calculating the time, although there were still several days left until the ten-day agreement with the handsome guy, Xia You had plenty of time, but she was not in the mood to wander around other places.

With a major battle imminent, his mood calmed down a bit.

With the sun shining overhead, Charizard soared through the sky carrying its luggage, while Xia You and Nazi traveled light, carrying only small backpacks.

As we left the city of Yanmo, which was surrounded by mountains, the forests on both sides of the road became increasingly sparse.

The two walked side by side, chatting and laughing all the way, just like a couple deeply in love on a romantic outing!

However, although going downhill is much easier than going uphill, as anyone who has done it knows, it is still very tiring because you have to keep your weight forward and watch your step.

Sure enough, after walking for just over an hour, Nazi's clothes were already soaked with sweat.

Fortunately, the mountain path wasn't steep, and they walked and stopped frequently, treating it as an opportunity to enjoy the scenery.

Just as they were leaving the mountains, Xia You spotted a Pokémon flash by among the rubble at the foot of a cliff.

"Huh? What's that...?"

He turned his head and saw a small, grayish-green Pokémon rummaging through the rocks, seemingly looking for mushrooms or other food.

"It's Young Kylas!"

Xia You recognized its identity at a glance.

Seeing Xia You take out a Pokédex from his waist pouch, Sabrina glanced at him in surprise.

"You want to subdue it?"

"Of course!" Xia You nodded. "Just like Dragonite, Tyranitar is extremely powerful after evolving, with pseudo-legendary-level combat strength!"

Quasi-god?

Sabrina had never played Pokémon games, so she naturally couldn't know the meaning of pseudo-legendary Pokémon. However, seeing that Xia You was unusually preparing to catch a Pokémon, she couldn't help but examine the Pokémon.

This was the first time she had ever seen Young Kylas.

Young Gilas has a long, blunt horn on its head, red eyes, short arms, a toe on each foot, a diamond-shaped red scale covering its abdomen, and a cone-shaped tail surrounded by a plate-like structure.

Although it looks rather small, it has a cool expression, especially its eyes, which make it seem like it's always defiant and resentful.

Unfortunately, apart from Psychic Pokémon, none of the other Pokémon could pique her interest.

At this moment, Xia You quietly approached Larvitar and, before it could notice her, pointed her Pokédex at it.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Ding, Larvitar, Rock-skinned Pokémon, Rock/Ground type. It is said that Larvitar is born deep underground and grows up by consuming nutrients from the soil. It eats dirt as it moves toward the surface where its relatives are. After eating about the size of a mountain of dirt, it will turn into a pupa on the ground and begin to sleep in order to grow."

To be honest, this was the first time Xia You had ever seen such strange information.

The "eating dirt" thing is probably just a joke, right?

Chapter 320, First Pokémon

Xia You took a few steps and continued to approach Young Gilas little by little. However, when she got close enough, even though she was extremely careful, she still aroused its alertness.

Upon seeing humans, Young Gilas was startled and immediately took off running!

Want to run?

no way!

This is one of the few Pokémon that Xia You in the Johto region likes. Having finally found it, how could she possibly let it escape?!

He snapped his fingers, and just after Larvitar had run a dozen meters, Charizard suddenly descended from the sky and blocked its path!

Young Gilas looked up at the Charizard with a malevolent expression and sensed that this big guy was not to be trifled with, so it quickly changed direction and continued to flee!

Before it could run a few steps, a Gengar, emitting a strange "heh heh" laugh, suddenly emerged from the shadow of the rocks in front of it!

It was startled and, in its panic, turned around again, only to be blocked by the man. When it changed direction again, it encountered another human woman!

Now, surrounded on all sides, it truly has nowhere to retreat!

Xia You had a smile on his face. For some reason, this scene reminded him of the scene on TV where wild boars were hunted in a watermelon field.

The baby kilas in front of us is clearly a wild boar that has been surrounded!

Moreover, upon closer inspection, the expressions of the two do indeed bear some resemblance.

Young Gilas opened its mouth and made a threatening sound, seemingly trying to scare Xia You and the others away, but it was too small, only 60 centimeters tall, and looked no threat at all!

Neither Charizard, Gengar, nor Sabrina took it seriously!

“Young Gilas, calm down.” Xia You squatted down and said softly, “Don’t be afraid, I’m not a good person.”

!! ?

Upon hearing this, Young Gilas bared his two rows of sharp fangs, which made Sabrina laugh. This opening line seemed somewhat familiar!

Xia You took a Poké Ball out of her pouch and released her Dratini.

At that moment, he seemed like a real villain, his tone full of temptation: "Now you only have two choices in front of you. Fight my Pokémon. If you lose, you will come with me from now on. If you win, I will leave you food as an apology and will not bother you anymore. So, do you accept?"

After glancing around and realizing there was no way to escape, and then looking at the somewhat cute mini-dragon in front of him, Young Gilas let out a humming sound.

Xia You didn't understand what it meant, so she turned to Gengar and said, "Hey Gengar, don't just stand there, hurry up and translate what it's saying?"

Gengar shrugged: "It's telling you to stop dreaming!"

"Dreaming?" Xia You stroked her chin, smiling brightly, and shook her head at Larvitar. "Unfortunately, there's no such answer. I see you're all alone and quite pitiful, having to travel around for food. If you travel with me, I'll provide food and lodging, not only will you be able to live in a comfortable Poké Ball, sheltered from the wind and rain, but I'll also provide you with delicious food every day to your heart's content, guaranteeing a significant improvement in your quality of life!"

However, Young Kylas remained unmoved and instead became even more vigilant.

Seeing that Xia You was getting an awkward silence, Gengar, standing to the side, was laughing heartily while clutching his stomach, completely losing his composure.

Xia You rolled her eyes at it helplessly, coughed lightly, and stood up.

"Alright, enough joking. Since you can't make a choice, I'll take that as your agreement to fight me!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and gave the order to Dratini: "This capture battle is in your hands. Go, Dratini, and show it your power!"

The Dratini, which had been eagerly anticipating the arrival, immediately rushed over.

Under its onslaught, Young Gilas naturally wouldn't stand idly by and was forced to retaliate.

The two Pokémon collided and instantly became locked in combat.

While they were fighting, Xia You was carefully observing the young Giras from the side, without any intention of giving orders.

Since it's just a battle between two low-level Pokémon, it won't cause too much of a stir, so let's just let them do their thing.

After observing for a while, he realized that the young Gilas in front of him was still very weak and did not know any advanced moves. It simply used biting and ramming repeatedly, occasionally adding a rockfall.

However, compared to other wild Pokémon in their early stages, it is slightly stronger, otherwise it wouldn't be able to survive here alone.

However, even with such strength, it still poses no threat to the Dratini!

Most importantly, while Larvitar was fighting, it would frequently turn its gaze to Charizard and Gengar, as if it was afraid that these two would launch a sneak attack without any sense of martial ethics!

If one's mind is distracted, one cannot exert one's full strength, and thus will become increasingly disadvantaged in the fight.

After enduring several attacks from Dratini, perhaps still wanting to try to break through, it suddenly used Sandstorm while forcing Dratini back with a ramming attack!

This move, which has been kept hidden until now, has proven to be incredibly effective!

The yellow sand suddenly swept in like waves rising from nowhere, and the fine particles and pebbles blown up by the sandstorm enveloped everyone and their Pokémon, temporarily blinding them.

Seeing this, Young Gilas spotted a direction and fled again.

However, perhaps because the running noise was too loud, it was quickly caught up by the mini-dragon that had escaped the yellow sand and used a tight restraint to strangle it to the ground!

This caused Young Gilas to collapse from exhaustion and fall into a coma.

"here you go!"

Xia You first praised Dratini, then took out an empty Poké Ball and threw it at Larvitar.
