I caught a Pokémon

As a result, not only Xia You, but also Li Jia gained two Pokémon in a short period of time after arriving in Hoenn, which can be described as a great harvest.

After leaving the forest and continuing north for a short while, they came to see the city of Kanaz in the distance.

Kanaz, a city that strives for the integration of nature and science.

This is a large city in the western part of the Hoenn region. In terms of economy, scale, and population, it is much larger than Petalburg City, which I visited before. In addition to a Pokémon school, many world-renowned companies are also located here.

However, before they even reached the outskirts of the city, they saw three men in matching red uniforms and hooded heads kicking a man in a suit to the ground on the main road. They then snatched the briefcase from his hand and ran quickly toward them.

Huh?

Is it a robbery?

One of them saw Xia You standing in the middle of the road and his gaze sharpened. He shouted, "Get out of the way if you don't want to die! Don't block the way!"

Behind them, the man in the suit who had been kicked to the ground shouted at Xia You, "Grab them! They stole my briefcase!!"

Before she could think any further, three men in red uniforms had already run up to Xia You, who silently took a step back.

Just as the three men were secretly pleased that the man was not meddling in their business, they saw the shadow beneath his feet suddenly wriggle, and then a long arm stretched out like a rope, blocking their way!

The group couldn't stop in time and were tripped by the long arm, falling headfirst to the ground.

When they got up, they were all furious and glared at Xia You!

"Hey kid, how dare you block my way?!"

One of them threw out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of light, a Houndoom was released. Without saying a word, it opened its mouth and bit Xia You!

Xia You had one hand in her pocket and didn't move an inch.

Just as Houndoom, with its mouth wide open and drooling foul saliva, leaped high into the air, about to bite Xia You, the shadow beneath Xia You's feet writhed again. The next second, two enormous claws rose from the shadow, directly imprisoning Houndoom in mid-air!

"What!?"

The three men in red uniforms then turned their attention to Xia You's feet. Behind her claws, a Gengar with a playful smile on its face slowly floated up from the shadows.

Gengar chuckled, "You think you can just run into him so easily? You're underestimating me!"

"A...talking Pokémon!?" They were even more shocked when Gengar spoke!

At this moment, the man in the suit behind her came running up, panting. However, perhaps intimidated by the strength of the three men in red uniforms, he didn't approach. Instead, he stood a short distance away and pleaded with Xia You, "Sir, I'm an employee of Devon Company. These people suddenly snatched my briefcase for some reason. There are important things inside. Please, you must help me get it back! Please!!"

Devon Corporation?

Xia You nodded knowingly, then looked at the three men in front of her, lingering for a moment on their red uniforms and hoods.

He already knew what the plot was like.

Needless to say, these three people, with their uniform and eye-catching attire, are naturally members of Team Magma, one of the two most notorious criminal organizations in the Hoenn region!

Although they are called a criminal organization, these people are not as evil as Team Rocket.

Team Magma's main area of ​​operation is the Hoenn region. They believe that human development is closely linked to the overall happiness of the world, and that the coexistence of humans and Pokémon would hinder their development. Therefore, their goal is to expand the land area and increase the scope of human activities.

Finding the legendary Pokémon Groudon is also one of their most important goals!

Chapter 595 The Unlucky Devon Company

I never expected to run into Team Lava here.

Just like Team Rocket, which is deeply rooted in Kanto and Johto, Team Magma has a huge influence in the Hoenn region. They are at odds with Team Aqua, another organization, and the only one who can deal with them is the even larger International Police.

While they may not be as strong as Team Rocket, Team Magma and Team Aqua are dominant forces in the Hoenn region!

Seeing that BlackGarurumon had been captured, the other two Team Magma members frowned and released their respective Pokémon as well.

Needless to say, just like their uniform outfits, even their Pokémon are all the same Houndoom!

However, unlike the regular Houndoom, these Team Magma Pokémon are covered in armor on their bodies and heads, which not only makes them look more ferocious but also provides some protection.

Two Black Growlithe pounced menacingly on Xia You from both sides, one on the left and one on the right.

At this moment, besides Gengar, Xia You only had her newly caught Torchic by her side, but with its strength, it was definitely no match for the ferocious Houndoom.

Even so, it was as if its fur had been bristled, and with all its might, it spewed fire towards Houndoom.

Faced with such flames, Houndoom easily dodged with a mere flash and continued to pounce on Xia You.

However, there was more than one chick blocking Xia You's way. Seeing that these two black dogs were not acting with any martial ethics and were even using a split-force strategy, Gengar looked left and right, and then emitted a Dark Pulse from its body, which, like a black wave, instantly swept over the two Houndooms.

The three Pokémon, including the Houndoom in its hand, were struck hard and fell backward, landing back in front of the three Team Magma members.

Defeating two Pokémon with a single blow, one can only say that the thousand-year-old Gengar is terrifying!

"Wow...that's amazing!!"

The Devon employee was stunned, and the three Lava Team members' expressions changed drastically!

What kind of strength is this?

Even the three executives of Team Magma probably couldn't kill Houndoom in one hit, right?

Could it be someone as powerful as the boss?!

Seeing Houndoom defeated, the three were about to reach for a second Poké Ball, but Gengar wouldn't give them the chance. Under Xia You's command, it used Hypnosis to put the three of them to sleep.

Seeing this, the Devon employee cautiously approached the group.

He sincerely thanked Xia You, saying, "Thank you so much..."

"It was just a small favor." Xia You shook her head and smiled. "Quickly check if anything is missing inside."

Reminded by Xia You, the Dewen Company employee finally came to his senses, quickly snatched his briefcase back, and carefully inspected it.

While he was examining her, Xia You turned her head away.

He didn't even bother to ask what was in the briefcase that made it worthwhile for the Lava Team to rob it in broad daylight.

However, apart from the Master Ball, nothing else, whether it's valuable documents, confidential information, or anything else, can arouse his interest.

After searching for a while, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the briefcase had just been stolen by the Lava Team, and they hadn't had time to take its contents or do anything else, so apart from some damage to the outside of the briefcase, there was no other loss.

Looking at Xia You, he said gratefully again, "Fortunately, everything is intact. I am truly grateful to you. Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kuroda, and I am the secretary of Zvoich, the president of Devon Corporation."

secretary?

This surprised Xia You somewhat.

I thought she was just an ordinary employee, but it turns out she was a secretary.

It's important to know that Devon Corporation is no small company. Although it was just a small company that mined iron ore and refined steel a few years ago, it has now grown into a giant comparable to Silver Corporation!

Most of the products they produce are aimed at Pokémon trainers. They have also developed new types of Poké Balls, and it is even said that they are researching fossil restoration projects with remarkable results.

In recent years, in particular, the company has developed a machine that uses magma as fuel to generate energy, which has brought its reputation to its peak!

Xia You waved her hand: "You're too kind. In this kind of situation, I think anyone who has the ability would lend a helping hand."

Xia You found a rope, tied up the three Lava Team members, and then called the police.

Not long after, Officer Jenny arrived with several police cars, woke up the unconscious people, and put them into the police cars.

The matter should have ended there, but after Kuroda finished taking his statement, he found Xia You again.

He bowed and said, "I have already reported your matter to the president. To thank you, the president specifically instructed me to invite you to the company as a guest."

Xia You didn't want to bother them, but Kuroda was too enthusiastic, and she was acting on the president's orders. So, Xia You discussed it with Rika and agreed to go to Devon Company to take a look.

Anyway, the dojo is right there, so whether you challenge it a little earlier or a little later makes basically no difference.

The group entered Kanaz City. On the way to Devon Corporation, Kuroda introduced the two to Devon Corporation, giving Xia You and Rika a better understanding of the company.

“I see.” Lijia nodded. “So the headquarters of Devon Corporation is in Kanaz City?”

Although it's far away in Kanto, Devon Company's products are everywhere in Yuhong City. She had heard of the company before, but she never expected that their headquarters would be here!

As they spoke, the group arrived at the street in front of the Devon Corporation headquarters building.

Even from a distance, Xia You could see a magnificent building standing there. Looking up, it had more than sixty floors and was estimated to be at least 260 meters tall. The exterior looked very grand, and the sunlight shone on the glass, making it shine brightly. There was even a huge fountain in front of the entrance, constantly spraying water.

Looking across the entire city of Kanaz, the Devon Building is undoubtedly the tallest building.

To be honest, Xia You was really shocked by the wealth and power of Dewen Company. Just a few years ago, it was only a small company, but in such a short time, it has developed into such a large scale, which is truly amazing.

Stepping into the magnificent yet technologically advanced building, Kuroda led the two by elevator directly to the president's office on the top floor, where they met the head of Devon Corporation—President Zvoich.

Although he is called the president, he is actually the CEO of Devon Corporation.

Zvocchi's full name is Zvocchi Hibiscus. Despite his silver hair, he is not very old, only in his fifties. Perhaps because he takes good care of himself, his eyes are bright and his complexion looks very good.

At this moment, Zvoich was sitting in the spacious and bright newsroom. When he saw Kuroda leading Natsumi and Rika in, he quickly got up to greet them.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Zvoich, the president of this company. Welcome to Devon. Thank you for helping Kuroda retrieve the documents. On behalf of Devon, I sincerely thank you for your help."

Before Xia You could speak, Kuroda complained, "It's all because you ran around everywhere, insisting on going to the city to play with those kids. I had to come looking for you with the documents. Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened!"

Kuroda's tone was very impolite, even somewhat reprimanding, but surprisingly, when President Zvoich heard it, he just laughed it off and didn't care at all!

Or rather, he's gotten used to it!

Logically speaking, the relationship between a president and his secretary, especially a male secretary, is one of absolute dominance. The secretary must strictly follow the president's words and dare not contradict him. However, what happened before her eyes was truly an eye-opener for Xia You.

"Oh, don't worry about it so much." Zvoich waved his hand, looking nonchalant as he said to Kuroda, "It's been brought back, hasn't it? As long as everyone's alright, that's all that matters!"

Seeing Zvoich like this, Kuroda could only sigh helplessly, seemingly unable to do anything about his willfulness.

Although they had only just met, Xia You had already noticed that President Zvoich seemed to have absolutely no airs about him!

It's incredible, and no wonder that DeWen Company has become so successful in such a short time!

Seeing that Zvoich was looking over, Xia You nodded to him and said, "Hello, Mr. Zvoich, I am Xia You, a Pokémon Trainer."

Lijia also bowed gracefully: "I am Lijia."

Both Zvoich and Kuroda were taken aback upon hearing the name, not wanting to hear it.

"Xia You?" Zvoich asked in surprise. "Could you be the young man who helped Silver take back the building from Team Rocket in the Kanto and Johto regions and won two tournament championships!?"

People like Zvuche may not watch Pokémon tournaments, but they are definitely familiar with the name Xia You. After all, they get information about any happenings in the world as soon as possible.

"Yes, it's me."

"What a coincidence." Seeing Xia You nod, Zvoich could only marvel at the wonders of the world. "No wonder he has such strength and was able to snatch the documents back from Team Lava so easily. He's really young and promising."

Even Kuroda didn't expect that the person who casually saved him would actually be the Pokémon Tournament champion!

After learning Xia You's identity, the two became even more enthusiastic towards him. Under Zuvoki's guidance, Xia You and Li Jia also visited the interior of Devon Corporation and saw the groundbreaking technology that Devon is currently working on—the revival of fossil Pokémon!

In a huge laboratory, there was a sophisticated machine. This machine was Devon Corporation's proud technological product: the Fossil Revival Machine, which could revive fossil Pokémon!

This is truly remarkable technology, allowing people to see those ancient Pokémon that have already gone extinct. It makes an extremely important contribution to both trainers and society.

Of course, this technology is not yet fully mature and cannot revive fossil Pokémon on a large scale. Moreover, it is extremely expensive. However, there have been successful experiments that have proven that it is indeed feasible.

Just as Xia You was marveling at the technology of Dewen Company, an alarm suddenly sounded. Before they could realize what was happening, several people dressed in blue and white stripes ran out of a research room next door and headed towards the floor-to-ceiling windows of a building not far away.

"What!?"

Zvoich and Kuroda were clearly bewildered by this sudden situation. They hadn't figured out what was going on and, like the researchers, stood there blankly.

Xia You's feet had already started moving, and she ran towards those people!

Because of what happened with Team Magma before, he was mentally prepared, so he immediately recognized these people as Team Ocean, who were on par with Team Magma, at just one glance!

I have no idea what bad luck Derwen Company has had today. Not only was it robbed by Team Magma from the outside, but Team Marines also infiltrated its interior!

And judging from the looks of it, although the alarm sounded, the Marines have clearly succeeded!

If Xia You hadn't known that their relationship was one of mutual destruction, she would have thought they had planned it together!

These marine team members were all carrying something resembling a jetpack on their backs, clearly indicating that jumping out of the window was an escape route they had planned in advance.

If Xia You weren't here, they might have actually succeeded, but now that he's here, how can we let these people leave!

As he ran toward them, Xia You took out a Poké Ball from his waist pouch and released his Gardevoir.

Because of telepathy, Gardevoir used its psychic powers to create a barrier in front of Team Aqua without Xia You having to say a word!

Caught off guard, several Team Aqua members crashed headfirst into an invisible psychic barrier. The impact left them completely disoriented. Just as they were getting up after the dizziness subsided, they heard footsteps behind them. Turning around, they saw a handsome young man and a Gardevoir standing behind them!

"hateful!"

The group glanced at the situation and touched the psychic barrier behind them. They knew that if they delayed any longer, Devon Corporation's security team would arrive on this floor soon and surround them, while someone would be waiting for them outside!
