I caught a Pokémon

"It's no use." Seeing Xiaoxia trying to stop her, Xia You quickly pulled her back. "The stinging jellyfish won't listen to human explanations until its anger subsides. Only by calming it down can we communicate with it!"

If it were anyone else, given Xiaoxia's personality, she would definitely argue back if there was a disagreement. But when facing Xia You, she didn't want to argue with him at all, so her stance changed instantly, and she nodded obediently.

"Alright, I'll help too. Go on, starfish, jewel starfish, goldfish!"

As trainers added more and more Pokémon, the battle began, and fights broke out in almost every corner of the city.

In such a large-scale melee, it is obviously unrealistic to give orders to each Pokémon individually. People can only let them do their thing and let the Pokémon fight freely based on their past experience and instincts.

However, there were simply too many agate jellyfish, plus the giant stinging jellyfish, so even after a long battle, the human side still didn't gain any advantage.

Seeing the battle at a stalemate, with no clear victor and the city so badly damaged, Xia You knew that perhaps it was time to do something.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xiaoxia and said softly, "I'll leave my Pokémon with you for now. I have to leave for a while."

"Huh?" Xia asked, puzzled. "Where are you going?"

Xia You held up a finger, gesturing for her to be quiet. Without saying a word, she quietly left the crowd alone, amidst Xiaoxia's curiosity, and went to the back of the TV tower.

Only after reaching a secluded corner did Xia You squat down and take out the Gengar mask from her backpack.

Gastly emerged from his shadow; the cunning creature had already guessed Xia You's intentions.

Are you really going to do this?

Xia You retorted, "What? Are you trying to dissuade me?"

"How could that be?" Gastly let out its signature cackling laugh. "I love a good time, how could I miss out on something like this!"

"Then I'll leave my back to you!"

Xia You put on the mask and saw a black raincoat floating in the distance, which was wrapped around a bush. She walked over and wrapped it around herself like a cloak.

Very good, he's hidden very well. Even people who know him well wouldn't be able to easily recognize his identity!

Having done all that, he released Zapdos.

As soon as Zapdos appeared, it spread its wings and let out a loud cry. In fact, as a legendary Pokémon, even if it was given a different Poké Ball, it still didn't like staying in such a small, enclosed space.

"Zetzart, this time the opponent is a big guy, and very strong. It's up to you now."

Zapdos stared at Xia You for a few seconds, then nodded reluctantly without refusing.

“Very good.” Xia You pointed to the top of the TV tower and said to it, “Then take me there first!”

!!!

Upon hearing this command, Zapdos's eyes widened, seemingly in utter disbelief.

It let out an impatient cry, as if warning Xia You not to push her luck! Don't mistake it for one of those ordinary birds that humans can ride at will!

"Hey, don't look at me like that." Xia You shrugged. "Kirlia isn't here, so I can't use teleportation to get up there! Besides, the view from there is wide open, perfect for directing the battle!"

Zapdos turned its head and looked at Gastly.

"It won't work either," Xia You quickly shook her head. "Ghost has been with me the whole time, and it's easy for others to recognize me through it, so I'll have to trouble you with this!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zapdos's agreement, he hugged Zapdos's neck and climbed onto its back.

Zapdos twisted its body, trying to shake Xia You off, but Xia You held on very tightly, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break free.

"Alright, don't be so stingy," Xia You gently soothed its emotions. "Let's not delay any longer. This city desperately needs our help. Let's get going!"

Helpless, Zapdos sighed and could only flap its wings and fly high, carrying Xia You to the top of the TV tower.

It wasn't until Xia You actually rode Zapdos that he truly realized its feathers, like Jolteon's, were quite stiff and prickly. Not only was it uncomfortable to sit on, but if you smelled it carefully, you could also detect a smell of electricity.

The sea breeze blew through Xia You's hair.

Zapdos was incredibly fast; with just a few flaps of its wings, it reached the rooftop of the TV tower.

Xia You released her grip and landed steadily on top.

Pointing to the giant Tentacruel in the distance, he said, "Look there, that Pokémon is Tentacruel, and it's your opponent this time. But don't be fooled by its huge size, it's only a Water/Poison type. In terms of type, we have an absolute advantage!"

Zapdos had never seen such a huge creature before. Its eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit, and it let out a loud cry before flying straight toward Tentacruel!

The battle below was extremely intense. Although the trainers' Pokémon were stronger, there were simply too many Tentacruel. Usually, several Tentacruels would be fighting against a single Pokémon at the same time.

Just as people were finding it increasingly difficult, someone suddenly noticed something unusual above. Looking up, they saw a golden bolt of lightning streak across the sky!

"Look, it's Zapdos!!"

Someone shouted, and the trainers around looked up. When they saw that it was indeed the legendary Pokémon Zapdos, they were all shocked and incredulous!

Chapter 62 Naval and Air Battle

"Zetzart? It really is Zapdos!?"

"Why would a legendary Pokémon be here!?"

People were talking loudly; the sudden appearance of the Zapdos was even more eye-catching to them than the giant Tentacruel!

Just as someone was about to give up on the agate jellyfish and go after the lightning bird, it flew at an extremely fast speed to the giant tentacle jellyfish and launched an attack on it!

"Huh!? It's attacking that giant stinging jellyfish!?"

People were taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"Does this Zapdos already have a trainer?"

The group looked in the direction the Zapdos had come from, and after looking around for a long time, they finally spotted a man wearing a mask and a black robe at the top of the TV tower.

Because he was completely covered up, the man's appearance and age were unknown. In addition, due to the distance, people could only see his mouth opening and closing under the somewhat comical Gengar mask, as if he were saying something.

On the rooftop, Xia You stood with one foot on the concrete edge, quickly glanced down, and said nervously, "Hey Gastly... I think I might be a little afraid of heights, otherwise why are my legs shaking so much..."

In Xia You's shadow, only a pair of eyes were visible from Ghost. He said helplessly, "Since you're afraid of heights, why don't you stand back up a bit, or just stop looking down and focus on Zapdos's battle instead!"

"No!" Xia You said seriously, "Only by facing fear can you truly overcome it. But speaking of which, if I accidentally fall, you'll save me, right? Hey, don't suddenly go silent, say something!"

Gastly's figure appeared, pretending to pick at its ear, and sighed, "Honestly, I never knew you could be so talkative before. Don't worry, I'll definitely catch you when you're only 0.01 meters from the ground, so you can experience the terrifying thrill of the Gastly drop tower firsthand!"

Perhaps it was Gastly's dark humor that eased Xia You's mood considerably. He took a moment to glance at his other Pokémon and saw that, under Misty's command, they were battling countless Tidehunters!

"Well done, Misty! Let my Pokémon gain even more experience!"

Xia You secretly praised him, and just as he had expected, countless people looked in his direction, and some even took out their phones to record him and Zapdos!

Luckily I had the foresight, otherwise I would definitely have been exposed to the public eye.

In the distance, Zapdos circled around a giant Tentacruel, while bolts of electricity emanated from its wings and struck the Tentacruel.

Not to be outdone, Tentacruel unleashed a laser-like beam from the ruby ​​on its head, sweeping it towards Zapdos.

However, perhaps due to Dynamax, the Tentacruel's resistance was greatly enhanced. Despite being hit by so many electric shocks, it was still in good condition and did not back down!

Seeing this, Xia You shouted, "Zaporn, stop using Thunderbolt, use Thunderbolt!"

It's unclear whether his words actually traveled on the wind to Zapdos's ears, but the next second, Zapdos suddenly unleashed its power, countless dazzling bolts of lightning bursting forth with overwhelming electric force, launching an indiscriminate attack in all directions!

At this moment, the giant stinging jellyfish finally let out a mournful cry, and the electric currents flowed along the seawater beneath its feet, striking countless agate jellyfish nearby.

In an instant, the agate jellyfish were electrocuted and turned over, drifting with the waves, completely losing consciousness.

Just then, with a flick of the stinging jellyfish's tentacles, Meow Meow was pulled out from somewhere.

It used poison to control the cat's nerves and used its mouth to convey its anger to the world.

"We are stinging jellyfish and agate jellyfish. This time, you humans destroyed our home, so we will destroy your city as revenge! We will make you feel the sorrow of having your home destroyed!"

As it spoke, its gaze suddenly turned to Zapdos.

"And you! You're a Pokémon just like us, so why are you siding with humans!?"

Unfortunately, given Zapdos's arrogance, the only response it received was a single Electric Shock!

The giant stinging jellyfish was furious. It stretched out dozens of tentacles and slapped wildly, but it couldn't even touch the Zapdos's feathers.

Seeing that it couldn't harm Zapdos, Tentacruel suddenly remembered Xia You, who had just been directing it, and then its massive body began to move towards the TV tower.

Along the way, any Pokémon that dared to block its way were mercilessly crushed. Seeing this, Xia You knew that it was absolutely not allowed to get close, and decisively ordered, "Zetzart, stop it and use Drill Peck!"

Zapdos began to glide through the air, building up speed while its body spun continuously, its long beak glowing as it pecked straight at the giant Tentacruel!

Despite the Tentacruel's constant waving of its tentacles, it still couldn't stop Zapdos's attack. As its long beak struck its body hard, the giant Tentacruel couldn't help but let out a huge wail!

Well! ! !

This wail seemed to resound throughout the heavens and earth, and it allowed all the trainers in the city to fully witness the power of Zapdos!

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

"Is this the legendary power of Pokémon!?"

People stared in disbelief as the two Pokémon battled, their own Pokémon seeming like children's games compared to them. Even Ash and Brock looked on with longing.

As a trainer, who can resist the allure of legendary Pokémon?

Despite the heavy blow, the giant stinging jellyfish did not fall. Once it was close enough, it suddenly fired a laser beam towards the top of the TV tower.

After the light faded, Xia You felt a jolt beneath his feet, and the place where he was standing collapsed with a crash. The next second, amidst countless shattered bricks, his body involuntarily fell to the ground. Just at this critical moment, Zapdos swiftly flew by and caught him steadily.

"Phew!" Xia You let out a long breath. Just a moment ago, his heart almost stopped beating. Now that he had survived the ordeal, he couldn't help but say, "This Tentacruel actually knew to capture the leader first. It's quite impressive! But speaking of which, thank you so much, Zapdos. You were so resistant before, but you still caught me!"

"..."

After a brief silence, for a fleeting moment, Zapdos really wanted to throw him down again...

Just then, several more beams of light swept towards them. Zapdos hurriedly maneuvered to dodge, but because it was carrying Xia You on its back, its speed was greatly reduced. Several times, it narrowly missed the target.

"Damn it, this can't go on." Xia You squatted on Zapdos and said to it, "Use that move!"

Zapdos nodded slightly, and then Xia You leaped backward, actually breaking free from Zapdos's back!

To everyone's astonishment, he seemed to have grown a pair of invisible wings, so he flew on the wind and landed on top of the TV tower again!

This time, people could no longer control their emotions and exclaimed in surprise!

"My God! How did he do that?!"

Chapter 63 Repelling and Aftermath

Xia You's ability to fly is naturally thanks to Gastly.

With it by my side, I don't have to worry about any accidents happening. I can have as much fun as I want in the sky!

With a roar from Zapdos, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky above the city. The thick cloud layers pressed down, turning a large part of the sky into a pitch-black pot bottom, completely darkening the sky.

Beneath the TV tower, Ash and Pikachu exchanged a glance, then looked up at Zapdos, which shone like the sun beneath the clouds, a glint in their eyes: "This move is..."

“That’s right, it’s thunder.” The knowledgeable Xiao Gang nodded and said, “It’s a powerful move among electric-attribute techniques. If it’s raining, the enemy won’t even be able to dodge it!”

When the power of the lightning reached its critical point, with Zapdos's second cry, an incredibly thick bolt of lightning struck the giant Tentacruel with overwhelming force!

This time, the giant stinging jellyfish could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed to the ground!

And whether it was because it ran out of energy or lost consciousness, its body shrank again until it returned to its normal size.

Cheers erupted from the crowd. Without the giant stinging jellyfish to command them, the other agate jellyfish were quickly driven out of the city.

Zapdos glided through the air a few times before flying toward the TV tower. Xia You seized the opportunity, leaped onto its back, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two quickly disappeared behind the tower.

Not long after, when Xia You removed her mask, blended into the crowd, and ran back to the TV tower, it was all over.

Thus, the disturbance caused by the jellyfish caused billions of dollars in damage to the city, with countless buildings collapsing and countless properties being destroyed!

With such a devastating incident, not only were Grandma Jin's businesses destroyed, but her reputation also plummeted. She will likely be unable to continue investing at the Yu-cho Wharf. As her dreams are shattered, it remains to be seen what lessons people will learn from this tragic catastrophe.

Ash and Brock were so engrossed in the battle that they didn't notice Xia You leaving. Only Misty seemed to have noticed something, and smiled at Xia You without revealing anything.

Xia You put several Pokémon into Poké Balls and was about to leave with Ash and the others when she noticed that the Horsea had come up to Misty.

In the chaotic battle just now, Misty not only bandaged it up but also protected it, which made the Horsea accept Misty in its heart. So when the incident ended, it voluntarily became her Pokémon.

After a long and tiring day, Xia You and the others set up camp outside the city to rest and had lunch together at noon.

It was only then that Xia You tasted Xiao Gang's cooking skills for the first time.

"Wow, this is so delicious!" Xia You gave Xiao Gang a thumbs up and said enviously, "Compared to your cooking, what I make is really a disservice to my stomach! It seems that if I have the chance in the future, I should also find someone with excellent cooking skills to travel with!"

This is not an exaggeration by Xia You. In fact, those seemingly ordinary ingredients become very delicious after being cooked by Xiao Gang. Moreover, he puts a lot of effort into cooking. Not only Xia You couldn't help but praise him, but even his Pokémon were still not satisfied with the food!

"It's not as delicious as you said."
