I caught a Pokémon

If you want to run away then, it won't be so easy.

But now that they want to leave, this man is in their way, and it's clear that they can't leave without defeating his Gardevoir!

On the other side, Xia You glanced at the waists of these people. Each of them carried a waist pouch, which was bulging and had several reagents sticking out. The reagents contained amber-colored liquid, which were obviously important items stolen from the research lab.

Kuroda then ran up behind Xia You. He had also seen the reagents and his expression changed drastically. He said, "Mr. Xia You, those are our company's culture medium. They are precious and irreplaceable medicines used to revive fossil Pokémon. We must not let them take them. Please help us get them back!"

This is the second time today that Kuroda has asked Xia You to stop these bad guys.

All I can say is that if I hadn't been there today, Devon would have suffered an incredibly heavy loss.

But now...

Chapter 596: They captured Team Magma, then Team Aqua.

These members of the Ocean Team were all wearing headscarves and dressed like pirates. Apart from the three ordinary members at the back who were obviously henchmen, the person standing at the front, judging from his demeanor and position, should be a leader or some kind of officer.

Although he was also wearing a headscarf, it was clear that he was bald, had a thin face, and his slightly narrow eyes made him look like a bad person.

A member of the marine team quietly asked the man, "Sir, what should we do?"

The man called Di sized up Xia You a few times, then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be afraid. There's only one person. We can leave once we defeat him!"

As he spoke, he reached for the Poké Ball at his waist, and the others behind him followed suit, releasing their Pokémon as well.

Several blue lights flashed before her eyes, and when the lights disappeared, several lobster-like Pokémon appeared in front of Xia You.

Xia You recognized these Pokémon at a glance; they were none other than the Water/Dark type rogue Pokémon—Crabclaw!

Just as Houndoom is Team Magma's standard Pokémon, Crawdex is Team Aqua's standard Pokémon, specifically issued to regular team members.

Because of its large size, reaching over one meter in length, the prototype of the Iron Claw Lobster may have originated from the American lobster on Earth. Its entire body is red, except for two blue stripes on its chest. Perhaps it was because of its resemblance to Team Aqua's uniform that it was listed as a standard Pokémon by them.

The Iron Claw Lobster has a yellow five-pointed star on its forehead and a large pincer on each side. They are known for their aggressive nature, love to fight, and are quick to start battles, making them a difficult Pokémon to raise.

It will also constantly swing its huge pincers to grab other Pokémon living in the pond and throw them outside. When it encounters an opponent that approaches its territory, it will not hesitate to defeat it. Therefore, there are basically no other creatures living in the pond where the Iron Claw Lobster lives.

Seeing the menacing Iron Claw Lobsters, and knowing that his psychic powers were ineffective against them, Xia You took out another Poké Ball and released his Scizor.

Several iron-clawed lobsters, holding up their large pincers, and scythers, which also possess enormous pincers, stared at each other, each awaiting their trainer's command.

Although both are Pokémon with large pincers, putting aside experience and strength, Scizor's Bug type is undoubtedly the Dark type of Crawdex, which seems to give it the upper hand.

Fortunately, the crawfish outnumbered the others, and Didi, being the leader, released his Pokémon at this moment.

This is a big-billed gull.

Just like its name suggests, the big-billed gull has a beak that is bigger than its body, like a pouch, which can swallow things whole and hold them in its mouth.

It is said that the big-billed gulls build nests on the cliffs by the sea and put their babies in their beaks for protection. On calm days, they float on the sea surface to rest. They can fly along the sea surface to find food. After finding food, they stick their big beaks into the sea, scoop it up along with the seawater, and swallow it in one gulp.

The Pokémon itself seems fine, but using a flying Pokémon like Pelipper in the confined space of an office building is not a wise choice.

Their wings cannot spread out here, let alone fly to a safe height.

unless……

Just then, several Pokémon in the corridor suddenly moved together and rushed towards the other side.

Despite having a numerical advantage, the three Iron Claw Lobsters from Team Ocean clearly lacked coordination, simply rushing towards the Mantis in a headlong rush, not only crowding together but also blocking most of their teammates' attack paths.

Scizor, like a silent, unsung warrior, repeatedly used its scissors. Its huge red pincers slashed through the air, and as it passed by several Crawdoid Pokémon, they all fell to the ground instantly.

This scene left the members of the Ocean Team dumbfounded!

That's when I realized I'd encountered a formidable expert!

But right now, the only thing standing between the Scizor and them was Didi's Big-Headed Gull.

"What are you all standing there for?!" Di shouted at the people around him, "Quickly use other Pokémon!"

"Huh? Oh, oh..."

The Team Aqua members then seemed to wake up from their daze and took out their second Pokémon. In the brief interval between flashes of blue light, Pelipper suddenly flew towards the window next to it!

At the same time, Di also ran quickly towards the bigmouth gull, flipped over and hugged its body, and together they crashed into the window!

Sure enough, that was his plan; seeing the situation was turning against him, he wanted to escape in the chaos...

His departure undoubtedly betrayed his subordinates. Seeing Di run to the side, the three Ocean Team members next to him were dumbfounded!

But before they could even react, the giant gull seemed to have bumped into something and had to stop with a 'thud'!

Beside Xia You, Gardevoir slowly lowered its arm.

Needless to say, it used its telekinesis to block the Peacock's path.

Since Xia You had already guessed his plan, how could she let him have his way?

Although they failed to escape and seemed to have returned to the previous situation, this was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the Ocean Team.

The leading cadre actually abandoned them and wanted to escape alone!?

How can we fight like this!

One of them looked at him in disbelief and roared, "Beep! Why did you do this?"

"You guys are incredibly stupid!" Di sighed helplessly. "Didn't you recognize him? This man in front of us is the guy who just won the Silver Tournament. With him here, how can we possibly win? Rather than being wiped out here and getting caught together, the most urgent thing is to get the stolen culture medium to the boss!"

Just as Di said, he truly recognized Xia You's identity and found it very troublesome. After much deliberation, he made this choice.

When it comes to loyalty to the organization, he is second to none; otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of sending the stolen culture medium back to the leader immediately!

However, although it was a last resort, leaving the team members behind and leaving alone was indeed unethical and would chill their hearts.

But no matter what, the organization's grand plan must take precedence over the individual, and even if he had to do it all over again, he would make the same choice!

The Ocean Team members wanted to say something more, but Xia You didn't give them that chance.

With a wave of his hand, Scizor and Gardevoir stepped forward together, knocking down Pelipper and taking control of the creatures!

Chapter 597 Daigo

Seeing that Xia You had defeated these people, Zifuqi and Kuroda also came over and stood behind Xia You.

“These people… must be from Team Ocean,” Zvoich exclaimed. “It’s unbelievable that they were able to sneak in here. Mr. Xia You, thank you for your help. If it weren’t for you, we would have suffered huge losses today!”

In a short period of time, Xia You had helped Devon Corporation overcome two crises from Team Lava and Team Ocean. How could Zvoich not be moved?

It's important to understand that this isn't just about defeating these guys. By doing this, Xia You has inevitably put himself on the opposite side of these two terrorist organizations, which is tantamount to getting himself into huge trouble and exposing himself to the sights of these two organizations!

"Don't mention it." Xia You shook her head. "Now that I've run into them, how could I just stand by and do nothing!"

Although she said that, Xia You couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He was not afraid of Team Magma and Team Aqua. With the International Police behind him and so many powerful Pokémon by his side, what could they do even if he were to become enemies with both organizations at the same time?

What he was impressed by was merely the security capabilities of the two companies.

Whether it's Silver Company in Kanto or Devon Company here, these multinational giants, although they all have armed security forces, may have never encountered such a thing before, leading to negligence. They only focused on guarding the main entrance, and were clearly not cautious enough in protecting the interior.

Just then, the elevator at the end of the corridor lit up, and as the elevator doors opened, more than a dozen security guards rushed out and came to Kuroda's side.

"You lot!" Kuroda scolded, "You're too slow! If it weren't for Mr. Xia You, they would have gotten away already!"

The security team looked distressed. It wasn't their fault; they had rushed to provide support as soon as they heard the alarm. But the Devon Building was so large that it would take time to get there, from the assembly point to the departure point, and then to the elevator to this floor. It was impossible to arrive in an instant.

Moreover, only four or five minutes have passed since the incident, and their support has arrived very quickly, which shows that they are well-trained.

Xia You chimed in, "Mr. Kuroda, please don't be angry. It's really not their fault. After all, who would have thought that the Marines would appear in the building? I just happened to be there. If I had been somewhere else, I wouldn't have been able to catch them so quickly."

Hearing Xia You say this, the security personnel all showed him gratitude.

Although they didn't know who this young man was, they could tell that he was the one who had captured the Ocean Team members who had infiltrated the building. Now that he wasn't taking credit for it and was even speaking up for them, how could they not dare to act!

Even Kuroda's expression softened somewhat, his anger subsiding slightly, but he still glared at the security personnel: "No matter what, allowing the Marine Team to break into the building silently is a serious dereliction of duty on your part. After this incident, everyone must write a report for me!"

Writing reports was a headache for them, but it was better than losing their jobs. The men nodded as if they had been granted a pardon, and quickly stepped forward to tie several members of the Marine Team together with ropes. Kuroda also stepped forward and retrieved the stolen culture medium from their packages.

Just then, the elevator doors behind them opened again, and a young man strode in briskly.

"Father, Mr. Kuroda, what on earth has happened!?"

Hearing the voice, Xia You turned around and saw a young man of similar age to herself, dressed in a well-fitting suit, with medium-length blue-gray hair, delicate features, and fair skin, looking like a refined nobleman, coming up behind them.

Upon seeing the young man, Kuroda was taken aback at first, then quickly and respectfully said, "Young Master Daigo, what brings you here?"

Daigo?

Xia You naturally knew who Daigo was, but only from the anime and games. Now that she heard that the person in front of her was the extremely popular Daigo, she couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

It was at this moment that I realized Daigo was probably Zuvoki's son!

Sure enough, Zuvchi smiled and introduced to Xia You, "Mr. Xia You, let me introduce you. This is my son, Zuvchi Daigo, who is also a trainer. You are about the same age, so you should have a lot in common!"

With that, he waved his hand, called Daigo to his side, and said to him, "This is Mr. Xia You, the champion of the Kanto and Chengdu regional tournaments!"

"Xia You?" Daigo looked at Xia You, paused for a moment, then stepped forward with a warm smile and extended his hand to him. "Although I live in Hoenn, I've heard of you and know that you are a very powerful trainer. I've always wanted to meet you!"

Daigo is a true super-rich second-generation heir, but what's incredible is that he has extremely high manners. You can't see any of the stereotypical images of rich second-generation heirs in him!

In short, after seeing him with her own eyes, Xia You's first impression was that he was a very well-mannered person!

No wonder he's so popular in anime and games!

Xia You shook hands with him. Compared to herself, who was over 180 centimeters tall, Daigo was relatively shorter and appeared more 'slender and well-proportioned'!

"Mr. Daigo, you are too kind. In fact, I have long admired your name!"

Xia You wasn't talking nonsense. After all, Daigo's name is indeed very famous in anime and games. He is a very important supporting character, and very few people who are familiar with anime don't know his name.

But Daigo naturally didn't understand Xia You's implied meaning and thought it was just polite talk.

After the two exchanged greetings, Zivchi smiled and said, "Although this is also my first time meeting Mr. Xia You, he has already helped us a lot twice!"

"Oh?" Daigo had just arrived and was naturally confused. He asked in surprise, "What does this mean?"

Kuroda, who was standing nearby, quickly told him about how Team Magma had stolen his briefcase and Team Ocean had just stolen the culture medium.

Upon hearing this, Daigo felt even more grateful to Xia You, and his gaze towards him became more affectionate!

“I never expected something like this to happen…” Looking at Xia You again, Daigo said sincerely, “Since you helped Father and Mr. Kuroten, you are my friend. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me!”

Chapter 598 Sudden News

Inside the CEO's office on the top floor of Devon Corporation.

Daigo sat in the main seat of the reception chair, with Rika and Natsumi sitting on the same side. She quietly watched Natsumi and Daigo talking slowly, occasionally chiming in with a few words. The atmosphere in the office seemed very relaxed and pleasant.

Daigo was very polite, but he wasn't actually the type to talk a lot. However, in this kind of situation, as a very cultured rich kid, he was able to show his social skills, taking care of everyone's feelings and making people feel that his speech was very extraordinary, and his every move exuded an unpretentious elegance.

Apart from the three of them, only President Zvoich was in the office.

Kuroda had his own work to do and the aftermath of the Marines' situation to handle, so he couldn't stay with them all the time. On the other hand, Zvoich, as the president, seemed to be doing nothing, sitting in his office chair in the distance, watching them chat with a smile, as if he really wanted to see someone as promising as Xia You become friends with his son.

Daigo pushed the teacup in front of the two of them and said, "I've been traveling around for a while now, collecting all sorts of stones. This time it was just a coincidence that I wanted to send these collected stones back to the company for research. I didn't expect to hear about this as soon as I walked in."

Lijia couldn't help but ask, "What kind of stone is it?"

“They’re all magical stones containing different powers,” Daigo laughed. “They’re hidden in the mountains, caves, and oceans. Some stones already have names, some don’t, and even humans haven’t discovered their uses yet. Do you know about Mega Stones? Just like them, before people discovered that Mega Stones could evolve Pokémon, no one realized their true value. It wasn’t until their power was discovered that people realized they were priceless treasures. And I’m interested in all sorts of stones, wanting to explore their potential power!”

This is indeed an unusual hobby and a very meaningful study. If Steven discovers something, it will rewrite the entire human and Pokémon world.

But speaking of stones...

Since Xia You began her journey, she has naturally seen many stones, but most of them are fire stones, leaf stones, or everlasting stones, whose uses have long been known to people. They are all very ordinary and have become commonplace. The only extremely precious one she has encountered is the Heart Drop formed by Latios and Latias in the Sea City!

I told Daigo about it, and to my surprise, it greatly surprised him.

"What?! You've actually seen the Heart Droplet?!"

“That’s right.” Xia You nodded. “That’s what we saw in the City of Water. The Heart Drop contains amazing power. It can not only bring fossils back to life, but also trigger a super tsunami. Even its appearance is breathtakingly beautiful.”

“I’ve heard of this name…” Daigo said eagerly. “I heard that it was formed from the legendary Latias and Latios, who sacrificed their lives and used all their power. I thought it was just a legend, but I didn’t expect it to actually exist. I really should go there and see for myself!”

It's easy to imagine that for Daigo, who loves collecting stones, magical crystals like the Heart Drop, even though they aren't natural stones, are still very attractive.

Now that I've heard that the City of Water in the Johto region actually has such a stone, how can I sit still!

"Then you'll be disappointed." Xia You poured cold water on him. "The drop of heart water has been polluted and damaged, and no longer exists. Even if you go, you won't see anything."

As he spoke, he gave a general account of what happened in Water 7. Of course, he omitted the fact that he owned Suicune and that he used a Poké Ball to capture Latias and Latios.
