I caught a Pokémon

But... why doesn't she go inside?

Hearing footsteps behind her, Cai Dou turned around and naturally saw Xia You and the other person.

Walking up to her, Xia You looked towards the dojo's entrance and finally understood why she was standing there.

The martial arts dojo's main gate was tightly closed, with a large padlock on it, clearly indicating that it was not open!

Is no one inside?

I took out my phone and checked the time. It was already 8:47 a.m. According to normal working hours, the dojo should have already opened.

"What a disappointment..." Xiaoxia sighed in disappointment and muttered, "I was hoping to quickly go inside and get out of the wind. If it keeps blowing like this, my skin will crack!"

Signaling her to calm down, Xia You turned to look at Cai Dou.

How long have you been here?

Cai Dou was taken aback for a moment, clearly not expecting this man to talk to her.

However, since this wasn't their first meeting, although she felt a little awkward, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Half an hour."

"Half an hour!?" Hearing her answer, Xiaoxia's eyes widened, and she looked at Caidou in disbelief, saying, "You've been standing at the door like this for the past half hour?"

Cai Dou nodded gently.

"My God, you're really stubborn... I mean, you're really patient..." Xiaoxia looked at her in shock, then swallowed back the words she was about to say.

She actually wanted to say, "You're really stubborn," but that would be quite impolite, so she quickly changed her words.

Cai Dou didn't seem to mind and didn't say anything more. Judging from her expression, she seemed to want to continue waiting there.

Xia You was also speechless. He shook his head, then looked away and circled the martial arts dojo a few times.

Having been here yesterday, he roughly knew the layout of the place, and now he just wanted to see if the dojo had any back doors or left any contact information.

Unfortunately, after circling around several times, we found nothing.

Once back at the main entrance, Xiaoxia hesitated before asking, "Brother Xia You... do you think the people from the Taoist temple won't be coming today?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that not only Xia You was looking at her, but even Cai Dou was looking at her.

"Um..." she cleared her throat and said cautiously, "When we left, wasn't there an announcement throughout the town? The announcement told the residents not to go out and to stay home as much as possible. Could it be that Tengshu followed the instructions and isn't coming today?"

This……

Xia You frowned, clearly not having considered this point beforehand.

As the saying goes, even the wisest person can make a mistake, let alone someone who is not wise at all.

Before coming here, he only thought that as a trainer, such a typhoon could not stop him. No matter how heavy the rain was, he would still come to the gym!

But he forgot that, unlike himself, for Fujiki, running a dojo was just one of his jobs, and he was not some kind of traveler who went out to adventure and hone his skills!

Given such extreme weather, it seems quite normal for him not to come to work.

Although Fujiki loves surfing and the ocean, it seems unnecessary for her to risk getting soaked during a typhoon just to get to work.

Seeing Xia You looking thoughtful, Xiaoxia quickly comforted him, "Of course, it's just that I'm overthinking it, Brother Xia You, don't mind..."

Xia You knew that Xiaoxia was trying to comfort her, but she also knew that the situation she described was very likely to happen!

Now we can only place our hopes on the fact that Fujiki has a strong sense of professional ethics and will come to preside over the dojo even in this kind of weather.

But then again, considering he's gone to such lengths to create a proxy gym just for surfing, it seems unlikely he'd actually come to the gym in this kind of weather.

“You’re right.” Xia You knew that Xia was trying to comfort her, so she nodded and agreed with her point of view. “Let’s wait until 9 o’clock. If they’re not open by 9 o’clock, it means they really won’t be open today, so let’s go back to the Pokémon Center.”

While the two were talking, Ayaka listened quietly from the side.

Although she didn't say anything, she heard what the two of them said. Like Xia You and Xiao Xia, she didn't move and obviously planned to wait until 9 o'clock to see how things went.

Xia You and Xiao Xia found a sheltered and flat stone step and sat down.

The strong wind blew Cai Dou's hair into disarray; not only did her silver-gray hair flutter in the wind, but even the black rabbit ear headband on her head swayed back and forth.

Seeing that Cai Dou was still standing there, letting the strong wind blow on her, Xiao Xia couldn't help but say, "Sister, would you like to come and sit here for a while?"

Cai Dou glanced at her and gently shook her head.

For her, standing in the wind is also a form of self-cultivation, which can train her endurance.

Besides, there were only a dozen minutes left until 9 o'clock, so there was nothing wrong with standing there. Just like the previous half hour, she stood there without moving!

In just a short while, the typhoon has gotten closer and closer.

The entire palm grove outside the dojo seemed to start shaking violently as well.

Xia You glanced at the time; although it was still a few minutes before 9 o'clock, she had already decided not to wait any longer.

"Let's go back."

"Huh?" Hearing Xia You mention leaving, this time it was Xiaoxia's turn to hesitate. "Are you really leaving? Isn't there still some time? Can't you wait a little longer?"

“Of course,” Xia You said. “If Teng Shu wanted to come, he would have come long ago. It’s no big deal if he comes a little later. It seems he won’t be showing up today. If we want to challenge the gym, we’ll have to wait until after the typhoon!”

"All right……"

Xiaoxia nodded, and together with Xia You, they got up and walked down the mountain.

As Xia You passed by Cai Dou, she said to her, "Don't wait any longer, come down the mountain with us. The typhoon is coming soon, and if we delay any longer, we might be trapped here!"

Cai Dou glanced at the distant sky.

Just as Xia You said, the typhoon has reached the waters near Wudou Island and landfall is inevitable. You can even smell a lot of moisture in the air.

Knowing that waiting here wouldn't change anything, they nodded and followed Xia You and Xiaoxia down the mountain.

The three of them, two in front and one behind, walked briskly along the road they had come from.

To avoid falling too far behind Cai Dou, Xia You and Xiao Xia deliberately slowed down, but after walking only a few hundred meters, they realized they had overthought things.

The girl behind them had firm muscles, clearly indicating that she exercised regularly. Not only was her physical fitness better than theirs, but her pace was also significantly faster.

In just a short while, they caught up with them!

At their pace, once they descend the mountain, it will only take them another ten minutes or so to reach the town.

However, they clearly underestimated the speed of the typhoon.

I don't know when it started, but it suddenly started raining.

At first, it was just a light drizzle falling on them, but after only a dozen seconds, it turned into a torrential downpour!

Because they traveled light before leaving, Xia You, Xiao Xia, and Cai Dou didn't bring much luggage. Only Cai Dou brought a small backpack!

At that moment, they didn't even have an umbrella, let alone a raincoat!

My clothes were soaked through in an instant, and the rain poured down my head like I was washing my face with a tap, streaming down my cheeks!

Considering the distance, whether it's running at full speed straight into the town or returning to the dojo and breaking through a window to take shelter from the rain, it's already too late!

In such rain, it's impossible to speak, visibility is extremely low, and you can barely open your eyes completely.

Fortunately, when Xia You came, she remembered that there was a cave nearby, not far from where they were now, which could be used to take temporary shelter from the rain!

Without much thought, he waved to Xiaoxia and Caidou, then took the lead and left the path, running towards the rocks on the side.

Xiaoxia naturally knew about the cave and understood Xia You's thoughts, so she followed closely behind.

As for Cai Dou, although she didn't know why they didn't continue down the mountain, she realized that there must be a place nearby where they could take shelter from the rain, so she followed them without hesitation.

Chapter 656 Three People Sheltering from the Rain

Beside the road was a low, bare rocky hill.

Although it is called a mountain, it is only a dozen meters high. Halfway up the small mountain, behind a few large rocks, there is a dark cave entrance that is relatively hidden and can only be passed by one person at a time.

In the pouring rain, the three of them climbed the hill, ran straight to the cave entrance, and filed in one by one.

Upon entering the cave, it was discovered that the space inside was not large, with only one entrance and exit. The cave was oval in shape and appeared to be only a dozen square meters.

This place must have once been the den of some wild Pokémon, but perhaps that Pokémon migrated to another place, so it seems to have been abandoned. There are only thick, dry weeds left inside the cave, with no trace of habitation and no strange smell.

Judging from all the signs, the previous owner of the cave must have left a long time ago.

Although the cave is not large, it is just big enough to accommodate three people.

What's most encouraging is that because the entrance to the cave faces away from the typhoon, the strong winds didn't blow in, and even torrential rain could flow down the slope.

The cave entrance acts like an invisible barrier, isolating the inside from the outside world.

Upon arriving here, the strong winds and torrential rain subsided, and the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing each other's disheveled appearance, Xia You and Xiao Xia suddenly burst into laughter, and Cai Dou's lips also turned up slightly due to their laughter.

This is a genuine smile from the heart, a smile of relief at successfully escaping disaster.

But as she was laughing, Xiaoxia suddenly shivered.

Only then did they realize that they were soaked from head to toe, and if they didn't warm up quickly, their bodies would definitely not be able to take it!

Turning to look around, Xia You said, "There are plenty of branches and dry grass here, let's start a fire first."

Xiaoxia nodded and immediately went to collect the withered grass and gather it together. Caidou hesitated for a moment, but before she could squat down to help, Xiaoxia had already finished everything quickly and efficiently.

This clearly shows that the man and woman often camp out in the wild, as their movements are incredibly skilled!

At the same time, Xia You took out a Poké Ball and released his Combusken.

"Strong Chicken, use Spark."

As the strong rooster breathed out a ball of fire, it ignited the gathered firewood, and the flames instantly shot up high, illuminating not only the area but also warming the entire cave.

However, although the fire brought warmth temporarily, it was obviously not enough. If the clothes were not dried, not only would they feel uncomfortable, but there was also a risk of typhoid fever or catching a cold.

only……

Besides Xia You, there are two other girls here, making some things really inconvenient to do.

But this kind of thing is no challenge for him.

As Xia You took out another Poké Ball and released his Dragonite, a 'wall of flesh' instantly formed in the center of the cave!

Dragonite sat on the ground, its more than 2-meter-tall body and huge belly perfectly separating Xia You from Xiaoxia and Cai Dou.

Although they could still see each other if they just peeked forward a little, they could still block most of their view unless they made any big movements.

"Alright, quickly take off all your clothes and put them on the stone next to you to dry them over the fire."

While speaking, Xia You didn't care about anything else. She took off her clothes and shoes first, leaving only a pair of shorts, and then put these clothes next to the campfire to dry.

After doing all that, he moved closer to Dragonite, and Dragonite stretched out an arm and hugged him, using its body heat to keep him warm.

That's why he sent out Dragonite instead of Tyranitar, which also has a huge body.

After all, Tyranitar was covered in cold armor, while Dragonite's soft body was not only quite comfortable to lean against, but you could also feel its body temperature!

On the other side, seeing Xia You put her clothes by the campfire, Xiaoxia didn't hesitate and stripped down to her underwear as well, and leaned against the other side of the Dragonite like Xia You.

She's not shy at all.

The two of them had even soaked in hot springs several times, not to mention that Xia You was the person she liked, and she had a very bold and willful personality, so what was there to be shy about!

Just treat it like going to the swimming pool!

Cai Dou was the only one there. Seeing the two of them start taking off their clothes without saying a word, she hesitated slightly, even though she knew it was the right choice.

If it were just this girl, it would be fine, but there was also an adult man who had only met her a few times!

She frowned slightly, but she wasn't one to be coy. After confirming that the man couldn't see her, she took off her clothes, leaving only her light pink bra and panties underneath.

Xia, who was standing to the side, glanced at it subconsciously.

It's big, much bigger than mine.

This is quite normal, given the age difference. If it were someone of the same age, then there would really be a problem.

But it's only a regular size, nowhere near as magnificent as Miss Rika's.

Her gaze slowly moved downwards, and then she saw Cai Dou's somewhat firm muscles and taut abdomen!

Wow……

She was surprised and wondered how Cai Dou had trained.

Her complexion, in particular, looks slightly healthier than that of a normal person, which is obviously due to her regular exercise.
