I caught a Pokémon

Chapter 686 Pulling out the radish brings out the mud along with it

Xia You turned around and saw Xiaoxia standing on a low wall behind her, looking at her with an ice pop in her mouth.

Seeing Xia You looking over, she jumped down from the low wall, came to him, and handed him another popsicle.

Xia You asked curiously, "Why didn't you go shopping? Didn't I give you a day off and tell you you didn't need to come with me?"

"There's not much to see." Xiaoxia took the popsicle out of her mouth and shook her head. "It's just some buildings with different shapes. After seeing them so many times, they all feel the same. Besides, the celebration is still several days away, so you won't be able to see anything special."

At this point, Xiaoxia looked at Xia You teasingly: "But it's fortunate that I came looking for you, otherwise I wouldn't have seen you fighting so 'intensely' with these kids!"

Xia You rolled her eyes at her: "What do you mean by 'hardly matched'! I'm absolutely dominating the battlefield, okay!?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Xiaoxia's smile widened even more, "You really are amazing to have defeated two little kids like that!"

Ignoring Xiaoxia's teasing, Xia You turned to look at the two little boys again.

"So, do you guys want to keep playing? I'm always ready to play!"

The two little boys looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time: "No, we can't beat you, but even if you beat us, we won't admit defeat!"

"Oh?" Xia You looked at them strangely. "You won't fight, and you won't admit defeat, so what do you want?"

The little boy wearing a baseball cap said, "Beating us is nothing. We'll only truly admit defeat if you can beat Kinta!"

"Kinta?"

The rosy-cheeked little boy nodded: "He's the strongest among us. None of us are a match for him, and you definitely can't beat him either!"

From their description, Xia You understood that the person named Jin Tai must be the leader of the children here.

"Okay, you can go find him. I'll wait for you here."

Watching the two little boys run off in a flurry, Xia You took the popsicle from Xiaoxia, sat down by the pool, and while eating it, called Milotic over to her side to summarize and explain the battle that had just taken place.

Reviewing past performance is a crucial part of a Pokémon's growth, allowing them to better recognize their shortcomings and areas for improvement. It is an indispensable step.

But even after the debriefing was completed, the two little boys never returned.

Just when Xia You thought she had been stood up, Xiao Xia pointed into the distance, and Xia You looked up and saw that the two little boys had finally returned, panting and pushing another little boy towards them.

It seems he must be the leader of the kids named Kinta.

Looking closely at Jintai, Xia You noticed that he was a year or two older than the two boys from before, and should be the same age as Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi. As he was being pushed here, Xia You could clearly see the reluctance on his face!

Even from a distance, he could already hear Kinta's complaints: "Seriously, slow down! I'm very busy, I don't have time to play this childish game with you!"

"This time it's for real!" the little boy in the baseball cap pleaded. "Believe me, the guy we've met this time is really strong! We can't beat him, so we have to rely on you!"

As they were talking, despite Jin Tai's half-hearted resistance, he was still pushed back in front of Xia You.

Seeing Jin Tai's cool and aloof demeanor, Xia You smiled and said before he could speak, "I heard you're very capable?"

Looking at the man in front of him, Jin Tai raised his eyebrows, but did not speak. Instead, he cautiously sized up Xia You.

He thought his opponent would also be a child, but he never expected it to be an adult!

This is really strange...

How could an adult fight against his two partners?

Thinking to himself, Jintai pouted and said, "So you're the one who bullied them?"

"What do you mean by bullying?" Xia You chuckled. "We were just having a normal sparring match in a friendly atmosphere. It was after they lost that they said only you could defeat me, which is why they brought you here."

"This isn't bullying? Honestly, you're such a grown man, fighting against two kids. Aren't you ashamed?" Jin Tai sighed with an air of superiority, then broke free from the two boys and went to the trainer command area on the other side. "Alright, I originally thought they were just little brats, not worth my time, but since they're adults and defeated my friends, I can't just stand by and do nothing!"

Xia You: ...

This little boy named Kinta has quite the big mouth...

Moreover, this is the second time he has been criticized for fighting against children.

To this, he only had one question: What's wrong with the child?

Aren't you a child too?

Don't underestimate a young person's potential; haven't you heard that saying?

However, upon reflection, considering the significant differences between the culture here and that of Earth, they probably hadn't heard this phrase before, but they should understand its general meaning.

As the saying goes, even a lion will use all its strength to hunt a rabbit. Who can guarantee that there aren't geniuses like Gary or Ash among them?

He can fly through the air and fight mythical beasts, and he can beat up kids at the park entrance. He always relies on this dedication!

All we can say is that they were lucky to encounter themselves during their adolescence!

Jin Tai glanced at Xia You's Milotic and then took out his own Poké Ball.

With a wave of his hand, the Poké Ball opened, and a Tentacruel appeared on the steps in the water.

Whenever Xia You sees a stinging jellyfish, he always thinks of the giant stinging jellyfish he encountered in Kanto!

There was a time when I struggled to deal with the giant stinging jellyfish, but as my journey progressed, I unknowingly grew to the point where I could easily handle it.

Even the legendary Pokémon are more numerous than the ordinary Pokémon in the hands of rookie trainers who have only been on the field for a short time!

Seeing a stinging jellyfish again now inevitably evokes a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time.

Shaking her head to clear her mind, Xia You saw that Jin Tai was ready and directed Milotic to the designated position.

"Go, Kinta!!"

The rosy-cheeked little boy couldn't help but cheer for Kinta, while the boy wearing a baseball cap came to the side and acted as a referee, looking quite serious.

"Game start!"

With his command, the battle began immediately. After this exchange, Xia You discovered that compared to the two simple little boys, Jin Tai was far superior to them in terms of experience, command, and Pokémon strength!

No wonder they have such confidence.

But that's it.

Although he is much stronger than other children, he is still only at the level of a child at best, and he is not at the level of those trainers who travel around. If he had to be compared with someone, he would be slightly stronger than the fully charged trainer he had met before.

Although in the early stages, Tentacruel caused Milotic some trouble with its numerous tentacles and venom through its fierce offensive, Xia You easily steered the battle into her own rhythm after mastering Jin Tai's attack methods.

Especially after Milotic used the move 'Renewal' to completely remove the poison from itself, the battle became a foregone conclusion, and Xia You seized the opportunity to take it all down in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, not only was Jintai stunned, but even the two little boys stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that this was the outcome!

"Jin... Jintai, you actually lost...?"

Hearing the red-faced boy's incredulous voice, Jin Tai blushed and quickly scolded him, "Idiot! I didn't lose! I... I was just careless for a moment!"

At this point, he looked at Xia You again and shouted, "That doesn't count! I want to fight you again!!"

Compared to his previous nonchalant attitude, which was tinged with a sense of being forced and unwilling, Jin Tai now appeared much more eager and determined to defeat Xia You in front of his friends and prove himself!

"Another match? Of course, no problem."

For Xia You, the purpose of his training was to train Milotic. He would naturally not refuse such a request. On the contrary, he would prefer his opponent's Pokémon to become stronger and stronger, so as to achieve the purpose of training.

Seeing that he agreed, Jin Tai took a deep breath, recalled the unconscious Tentacruel, and then solemnly took out the second Poké Ball.

Don't be fooled by his words that he was just careless; he knows very well that he used all his strength in the fight just now and was not careless at all!

Even so, they still couldn't defeat Milotic, which shows that there is indeed a certain gap between them and this man!

Especially after the battle began, he discovered that this Milotic wasn't actually that strong; what was truly powerful was the man's suffocating command!

In the early stages, the fight was going back and forth, but at a certain moment, I was suddenly left completely defenseless!

He had only ever felt this way with one man he had always admired since he got Pokémon, but the person in front of him made him feel this powerlessness too, which was simply unbelievable!

Could it be that he's really that strong?

As strong as your idol?

No, no, no...

How could someone who only knows how to bully children possibly be compared to his idol!

Xia You had no idea what Jin Tai was thinking. He only saw Jin Tai's expression change several times before he came to his senses and threw out his Poké Ball.

With a flash of blue light, Jintai's second Pokémon finally appeared before Xia You's eyes.

This is a Mudkip.

As the evolved form of Mudkip, one of the Hoenn starter Pokémon, Mudkip generally lives on sticky, muddy ground. It buries its body in the mud to sleep, and over time, it develops strong and sturdy legs and waist, allowing it to stand on two feet and move steadily even on muddy ground.

In order to survive on the ground, its body is covered with a thin layer of mucus, which allows it to move faster and perform its extraordinary abilities in muddy areas!

Logically speaking, the fact that it was deployed at this time indicates that this Mudkip is stronger than the Tentacruel from before.

Judging from its excited and eager appearance, and even the tragic expression on Kinta's face, this Mudkip must be Kinta's first Pokémon, and also his ace Pokémon!

Do you see me as some troublesome opponent that you must defeat...?

Xia You smiled nonchalantly, waved her hand again, and sent Milotic out once more.

"Kinta! Go for it!!!"

Two little boys watching the game used their hands as megaphones to cheer Jintai on enthusiastically. Their voices were so loud and their enthusiasm so great that they attracted the attention of other people nearby.

However, upon closer inspection, seeing that it was just an adult man fighting against several children, they lost interest and all looked away.

In the pool, Xia You and Jin Tai's second battle has begun.

Despite Jintai's complete focus and cautious approach, just like before, after the initial exchange, at some point, his movements and moves seemed to have been seen through, no longer threatening him, and he was easily defeated once again!

Just like before, this time he also felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.

"how so……"

Jin Tai took a step back, his face pale, and stood there blankly, unable to recover for a long time.

His two companions were even worse off, collapsing to the ground as if the sky had fallen!

Xiaoxia glanced at them, then leaned back lazily in her chair, yawned, and showed no desire to clap.

Having seen all sorts of grand occasions, she found this kind of small-scale activity utterly uninteresting.

Xia You called Milotic back, first stroking its scales as encouragement, then looked up at Jin Tai and smiled, "So, want to fight again? I'm always ready!"

The tone was the same as when he had just defeated those two little boys. It didn't have any special meaning, but it made Jintai's anger rise up!

No matter who I lose to, I don't want to lose to someone who only challenges children!

However, the fact that both Pokémon were defeated made him realize the difference in strength between them.

Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Jin Tai looked at Xia You and sneered, "Don't be so smug. Defeating me is nothing. I will only truly admit defeat if you can beat my helpers!"

Ok?

Why does this sound so familiar?

It seems like I've already heard it once...

Turning to look at the two little boys, Xia You nodded to Jin Tai: "Okay, go ahead and go find them. I'll wait for you here!"

"That's what you said!"

Jin Tai glared at Xia You resentfully, then turned around and quickly left the park with the two little boys.

Watching their departing figures, Xia You couldn't help but chuckle.

That's really interesting.

Originally, I just wanted to find two of the weakest kids to give Milotic some practice, but I never expected that pulling up a carrot would bring out a whole bunch of mud and cause so much trouble!

But this is good too. With the opponents constantly changing and the difficulty of the battles gradually increasing, I don't have to go around looking for suitable opponents anymore!

He also wanted to see what kind of people these people could ultimately find to deal with him!

Chapter 687 Energetic Idol Girl

Compared to before, Xia You and Xiao Xia waited even longer this time.

How long?

After a while, he set his sights on another little boy who had just entered the park, challenged him to a fight, and quickly defeated him, leaving the little boy heartbroken as he left.

This gave Milotic experience, but it also created a mental obstacle that the little boy found difficult to overcome.
