I caught a Pokémon

She just couldn't understand why, since they were all trainers, they only needed to train Pokémon, why did they have to train themselves like this?

Upon closer inspection, she could see that Cai Dou was indeed very beautiful. Although she wasn't the kind of stunning beauty that immediately captivated the eye, her face and features were exquisite, making her a rare beauty.

Thinking to herself, she said aloud, "My name is Xiaoxia, and that man over there is Brother Xia You. Come to think of it, I don't even know your name yet."

Cai Dou looked at the smiling girl in front of her. After all, they had met a few times before and had shared this common experience, so they were no longer strangers.

"My name is Cai Dou."

He simply introduced himself and didn't say a single extra word.

"Judging from her accent, Miss Bea probably isn't from the Hoenn region, right?"

Cai Dou nodded: "I come from Su Chuan Town."

"Suchuan Town?" Xiaoxia thought for a moment, but didn't seem to have heard of the place before, and asked in confusion, "Where is that?"

"In Galar."

Where is Galar?

"In the far west."

"Then how did you get here?"

"Come challenge the fighting gym."

Their conversation was like a question and answer session, with Cai Dou seemingly unaware of the need for conversation and merely answering Xiao Xia's various questions.

This made Xia very upset.

Communication is such a pain...

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Xiaoxia had already discovered that Caidou was a rather quiet person who didn't talk much.

Talking to this kind of person is impossible; you can't get any further topics out of them. You're the one asking all the questions, and it's like torture!

After a few dry words, she immediately lost interest and turned her face towards Xia You.

"Xia You, how long do you think the typhoon will last?"

Xia You listened to Xiaoxia and Caidou's conversation the whole time and couldn't help but find it hilarious.

Clearly, Cai Dou is the type of person that Xiao Xia is least good at dealing with.

Seeing that Xiaoxia had given up on chatting with Caidou, she didn't expose her, but shook her head and said, "Just wait, this is only the beginning, how can it end so quickly? But don't worry, there will always be a time when the storm passes and the sun shines through."

Xiaoxia sighed, "That's true, but I really want it to end soon..."

Crackle, crackle.

The campfire was still burning.

Because the cave was shallow, Xia You wasn't worried about them getting carbon dioxide poisoning.

After drying for another half hour or so, not only were their bodies and hair completely dry, but even the clothes placed aside became warm.

The group put their clothes back on and then sat down in front of the campfire.

Xiaoxia also took out her phone at this moment, but when she turned it on, there was no signal at all.

Splash...

It was still raining heavily outside, and there was no sign of the rain letting up.

Bored out of their minds, Xia You and Xiao Xia could only relieve their boredom by talking to each other.

What Xiaoxia admired was that Caidou sat alone on one side, without any intention of interrupting, and seemed to have gotten used to this loneliness.

However, for Xiaoxia, she was with Xia You every day and had already talked about everything they needed to talk about, so she didn't have many topics to discuss for the time being.

Now she was even more bored.

For someone as active as her, this period of time was undoubtedly a torment.

Having no other choice, she could only get up and stretch her muscles. After stretching for a while, she turned to look at Xia You and Cai Dou and found that one of them was grooming the feathers of a Dragonite Mighty Chicken, while the other was doing push-ups. They were both busy with their own things!

You two are quite a good match!

The thought flashed through her mind, but Xiaoxia quickly dismissed it!

Pshaw! What am I thinking? Xia You is mine!!

She swayed around for quite a while, and when she checked the time, it was only just past midnight!

The typhoon outside showed no signs of abating, and at that moment, her throat and mouth also sent out signals.

To put it simply, I was thirsty.

But where can we find water?

Because she initially only planned to return to the Pokémon Center immediately after challenging the gym, she didn't bring anything else with her except her phone, wallet, and Poké Balls.

Fortunately, Xia You noticed her embarrassment and took out his own lidded water bottle from his waist bag.

He has a habit of carrying water with him, which came in handy in an emergency.

He opened the cup lid and poured in some water, but after glancing at Cai Dou, he handed the lid to her first.

"Are you thirsty too? Have some water first."

Licking her slightly dry lips, Cai Dou didn't refuse, thanked her, and took the cup lid.

Xia, who had already reached out her hand, pouted when she saw Xia You give the water to the woman. However, when Xia You handed the water glass to her directly, she smiled again.

She carefully took it and took a small sip first.

The water was warm, but her heart was sweet!

This is Xia You's usual water cup!

Does this count as an indirect kiss?

However, under Xia You's watchful gaze, she didn't dare to think too much. After taking a few more sips, Xiaoxia returned the water glass.

To her surprise, Xia You took the water glass and, without even looking at it, took a big gulp herself.

That's where I just touched it...

Xiaoxia's face flushed red instantly. Now she was absolutely certain that she had indeed indirectly kissed Xia You!

Fortunately, a campfire was burning nearby, its orange flames flickering, and no one noticed her shyness.

And just then, her stomach started growling again, much to her dismay.

Upon hearing the sound, Xia You subconsciously looked at her stomach, but not only was she hungry, she was also feeling a bit hungry herself.

Cai Dou, who was standing nearby, handed the empty cup lid back to Xia You, and then placed her small backpack in front of the group.

Under Xia You and Xiao Xia's watchful eyes, she unzipped her zipper and took out a lot of snacks!

Cai Dou took out most of the beans and pushed them directly in front of Xia You and Xiao Xia.

"Huh?" Xiaoxia was taken aback at first, then realized that the food was for her, and thanked her profusely, "Thank you so much!"

Originally, her impression of Cai Dou was only so-so, but now it has risen to the highest level!

Even Xia You didn't expect that Cai Dou would carry food with her and share half of it with them.

I have water, you have food, Xiaoxia only has one mouth to feed!

This really is a case of helping each other out!

but…

Xia You casually flipped through the snacks in front of her and found that they were all sweets such as egg rolls, puddings, chocolate bars, and strawberry cakes!

While these things do provide a lot of energy, is it really okay to eat so much sweet stuff?

It was at this moment that he remembered Ayako from the anime, who really loved sweets, no wonder she carried so many with her!

He glanced once more at Cai Dou's flat stomach, which was completely free of any excess fat.

It's fortunate that she exercises every day, otherwise she would have gained weight sooner or later if she continued to eat like that!

Now, Xia You and Xiao Xia naturally didn't care about so much. They opened the packaging, shared the food, and quickly finished all the food!

To be honest, although these things were a bit sweet, they were really full of energy. The two of them no longer felt hungry at all. On the contrary, because of the large amount of sugar they consumed, their moods became pleasant.

Even the heavy rain outside the cave seemed less depressing to them!

This further strengthened the bond between the three of them. Xiaoxia spoke to Caidou again, and even though Caidou remained as indifferent as before, Xiaoxia no longer cared and instead thought it was only natural.

The campfire died down.

After burning all the firewood in the cave, only ashes that were not completely burned remained.

The temperature inside the cave dropped rapidly as a result, and water vapor slowly drifted in.

Xiaoxia subconsciously moved closer to Xia You, and seeing this, Xia You simply called Dragonite to his side, had it open its arms, and hugged all three of them in his arms!

Xiaoxia was squeezed in the middle, with Xia You to her left and Cai Dou to her right, both of them pressed tightly against her body. Behind her was Kuailong's soft, big belly, and the temperature rose instantly, making her feel warm again.

If it were before, she would have felt awkward if a stranger like Cai Dou got so close to her, but now that their relationship has deepened, these feelings are no longer a problem for her!

Chapter 657 The Vine Tree's Setback

In a daze, Xia You opened her eyes and realized that she had actually fallen asleep!

Maintaining one position for a long time made his shoulders a little stiff. Turning his head, he saw that Xiaoxia was hugging one of his arms and sleeping soundly as well.

On Xiaoxia's other side, Caidou also had her eyes closed and was breathing evenly, clearly fast asleep.

I checked the time; it was already 3 p.m.

Looking out of the cave again, the rain had stopped sometime ago, with only the howling wind occasionally blowing by, as if reminding Xia You that the typhoon had not gone away.

But no matter what, once the rain stopped, we could finally leave this place!

He was about to wake the two people beside him, but just as he pulled his arm away, Xia woke up as soon as she noticed his movement.

"Huh?" She rubbed her eyes, looking confused. "How did I fall asleep?"

Her words also startled Cai Dou awake.

Cai Dou opened her eyes sleepily, and compared to her usual expressionless face, she looked a little dazed, which was quite endearing!

Although there was no campfire inside the cave, they didn't feel cold at all thanks to the Dragonite's body heat. Instead, they listened to its strong heartbeat and all fell asleep without realizing it.

Thinking of this, he turned around and glanced at Dragonite, only to see it smiling at him with a憨厚 (honest and simple) expression, seemingly not minding that he had been sitting there motionless for a long time.

"You've really worked hard."

Xiaoxia got up and stretched, and just then she noticed that the rain outside the cave had stopped. She exclaimed in surprise, "The typhoon is over? I thought I was going to have to stay here all night!"

Xia You glanced at her sideways: "Why do you sound a little disappointed?"

"No way!"

Xiaoxia stuck out her tongue.

To be honest, she was indeed a little reluctant to leave. Although the three of them were trapped here and extremely bored, it was a rare memory. Moreover, after staying in this cave for a long time, it felt like being isolated from the world. She had gradually gotten used to it, and it was clear that returning to human society would be somewhat difficult for her.

But no matter what, she knew that the group couldn't stay there forever.

After cleaning up the trash and extinguishing the embers of the campfire, the three left the cave that had left a deep impression on them.

The wind was still blowing outside, but it wasn't as strong as before.

Looking at the distant sky, one can see that the boundless dark clouds have drifted far away. It seems that this time they have indeed moved far away from the area of ​​Martial Arts Island and can no longer affect this place.

"Let's go back to town first."

"Huh?" Xiaoxia turned her head to look in the direction of the dojo, and asked in surprise, "Now that the typhoon is over, shouldn't we go and check out the dojo?"

"Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow to try again." Xia You shook her head. "It's already this late. I don't think the gym will open right away after the typhoon passes. Besides, although our clothes are dry, we're still quite disheveled. Let's go back to the Pokémon Center and tidy up first."

Xiaoxia thought about it and agreed. After all, she had been caught in the rain and her clothes inevitably smelled of the rain. Although they were dry, they still smelled rather unpleasant.

After coming down from the mountain, the group walked for more than ten minutes and quickly returned to Wudou Town.

At this moment, Wudou Town looked as if it had been completely cleansed.

Just as Xia You had said before, Wudou Town does indeed have an excellent drainage system. Even after such a long period of torrential rain, the town is now mostly dry with hardly any remaining rainwater.

Although the town as a whole is not in great condition, some billboards and trees are leaning to one side, and the roads are piled with debris that seems to have drifted in from somewhere, making it look dirty and messy.
