I caught a Pokémon

What's more, this chicken is also skilled in fighting techniques, and close combat is something it is equally adept at!

Seeing this, Xiaoxia and Liuqia in the stands knew that the match had reached its most crucial moment, and they both stood up.

Under their watchful eyes, the Mermash, after landing, turned around and came to Milotic's side. Before Milotic could dive back into the water, it used Quick Attack to suddenly approach and inflict damage, followed by a peck and claw attack, delivering a small combo!

The repeated attacks caused Milotic's condition to decline sharply. Its once beautiful scales were now covered in wounds, and it no longer had the elegance it had when it first entered the arena.

It wanted to get rid of the strong chicken's entanglement and return to the water, looking for a suitable opportunity to use its moves to recover its strength. But Xia You had finally seized such an opportunity, so how could it let it leave?

By dodging Milotic's path, Mighty Chicken delivered a double kick, striking Milotic squarely in the face and finishing it off completely!

Pfft!

Milotic landed in the water as it had hoped.

Unfortunately, it didn't do it willingly; it was kicked down by the strong chicken!

Seeing this outcome, Adam moved his lips, his face full of disappointment. What made him even more upset was that after defeating Milotic, the Mighty Chicken was enveloped in a white light!

As a trainer, he naturally knew what it was.

This is the Light of Evolution, which is triggered naturally when a Pokémon meets the conditions for evolution.

But who could have imagined that the strongest lineup that could defeat him was already hard for him to accept, but to make matters worse, the Roborock actually evolved because of it!!

This is truly doubly painful!

Chapter 694 Will we ever meet again?

The butler referee, in his aged voice, announced the result that everyone already knew.

"Minas is unable to fight. The challenger shall be the victor in this contest!"

Two rounds of applause rang out simultaneously. Xiaoxia was clapping in the stands when she noticed that Liuqia beside her was also happy for Xia You's victory, her eyes shining with excitement. She couldn't help but glare at her.

"Why are you clapping? Didn't your master lose? You're celebrating in the wrong place."

Ryukia turned her head and looked at her with a 'so what' attitude: "I'm not cheering for my master. Xia You is my friend. It's normal for me to be happy that he won, isn't it?"

"Your friend!?"

Xiaoxia was furious when she heard this!

Are you kidding me?!

How long have you known Xia You? And you dare to say you're friends with him?!

If I gave you a few more chances to meet him, wouldn't you start calling him "Brother Xia You" like I did?

Is this the kind of shamelessness idols have?

Hmph, how shameless!

She was filled with resentment, but there was obviously nothing she could do about Ryukia. After all, people can say whatever they want, and she couldn't control them. However, she became even more determined to leave this place as soon as the gym battle was over!

We absolutely cannot let Ryukia get close to Natsume again!!

The two left their seats and walked together toward the area below. Unfortunately, because the aisle in the audience was narrow, they ended up squeezed together there!

Neither of them was willing to give way. After glancing at each other, they simultaneously pushed forward, trying to be the first to squeeze through the passage!

Despite being an idol and seemingly having great stamina from singing and dancing, in the end, it was Misty who, with more strength, won and squeezed in front of Ryukia!

Instead of rushing to Xia You's side immediately, Xiaoxia turned back and looked at Liuqia provocatively. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning on her face was clear: Hmph, whether it's a man or anything else, you can't beat me!

Rukia glared back defiantly!

Although you won this time, I will be the one laughing last!

In the trainer command area, Xia You was naturally unaware of the minor conflict that had arisen between the two beautiful girls in the audience.

His attention was entirely focused on his powerful chicken.

At this moment, the light of evolution had slowly dissipated, and when the light was completely gone, what appeared in front of Xia You was a brand new form - Blaziken!

After evolving into Blaziken, its attributes remain unchanged, still being Fire and Fighting.

The biggest changes are in its basic capabilities and appearance.

Compared to the slightly immature Mighty Chicken, the Blaziken is undoubtedly mature. It has white feathers and a V-shaped comb, blue eyes, bandaged claws, and strong, powerful legs.

Blaziken will fight its opponents more bravely, and will not back down even if it fights to the last moment. It is said that every few years, it will burn off its old feathers so that new, bright feathers can grow back. When fighting, it will also breathe scorching flames from its wrists. The stronger the opponent, the stronger the flames will burn.

It also has strong waist and legs, and some people have even tested it. It can easily jump over a 30-story building in just a few jumps!

Evolving into Blaziken would undoubtedly be another boost to Xia You's regular team composition.

At his signal, Blaziken simply jumped onto the shore from the large pool. Xia You then led it to the side and stood before Adam, who had a complicated expression.

At this moment, Xia and Liuqia also arrived at the side of the field and joined the two. They stood on the sides of Xia You and Adam respectively. However, unlike Xia who focused her attention on her companion, Liuqia was also smiling at Xia You, completely ignoring her master who had just experienced failure and needed comfort.

It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home...

Despite his reluctance, Adam had no choice but to admit that he was indeed inferior to his opponent in terms of skill when faced with his defeat.

He cleared his throat lightly and said in a seemingly relaxed manner, "Hmm... you did very well, and it was about what I expected. But don't be complacent because of that. You must know that you are still young and have a long road ahead of you. You have a lot of room for growth. I hope you can continue to work hard and keep it up..."

As expected of someone who has lived for so many years and is so adept at navigating among ladies, his words sounded grand and dignified, like an elder encouraging a younger person. Anyone who didn't know better would think he deliberately let Xia You win!

Xia You listened to his words with a smile on her face, treating them as mere whispers in the wind, without the slightest ripple in her heart.

Having won the battle and achieved his goal, he no longer needed to provoke Adam with words.

This is just a way to save face. Xia You is well aware of human relationships, so she should give him this much face.

Besides, he can't even beat me in a fight, so what's the point of him just venting his frustrations?

He didn't take it to heart, but Xia didn't like hearing it.

I mean, it's only our first meeting and we've already gotten along so poorly, so why are you spouting so much nonsense?

She couldn't help but be about to make a joke, but Rukia stopped Adam first.

"Alright, alright, stop talking." Ryukia rolled her eyes at her master and said helplessly, "After fighting for so long, don't you still know who you're fighting?"

Ok?

Only after hearing what Ryukia said did Adam suddenly realize that something was wrong.

Could it be that... this man in front of us has a very unusual background?

"Oh?" he asked calmly. "Then I'd like to hear who he is."

Just as Ryukia was about to speak, Xia You waved her hand to stop her.

Xia You had heard what Ryukia was going to say countless times, so she naturally knew that she wanted to tell Adam that she was a dual regional champion.

Although he didn't mind others knowing these things, every time he came to a new place, people would always mention it. It was fine once or twice, but after a while, it seemed like he was showing off.

Although these claims were spread through other people and I never said them myself, overusing this reputation would only do more harm than good.

"Who else could I be?" Xia You chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Just an ordinary challenger who hasn't been in Hoenn for long and is preparing to take on the Hoenn Tournament. Nothing special."

Eh?

Hearing Xia You say that, Liu Qiya looked at him in surprise. After understanding the reason, she admired him even more.

After embarking on the path of becoming an idol, her wish was for more people to know and like her, and she also realized that many people wanted to be as famous as she was.

Once you become famous, not just in terms of fame but also in terms of money, it's almost always within your grasp. How many people can truly remain unmoved by that?

He really is a man who makes my heart flutter...

Looking at Xia You with delight, after understanding all this, she said no more, but kept urging Adam to go and get his gym medal.

Pressed by the authorities, Adam had no choice but to suppress his curiosity, even though he was extremely curious, and would ask Rukia about it later when he had the chance.

Sigh, I really don't know what's so good about this man; even Rukia is starting to side with outsiders...

Adam reluctantly took his badge from his pocket and threw it at Xia You.

"Take it. This is my raindrop badge, proof that you defeated me."

The badge spun in the air and flew towards Xia You.

It's clear that Adam was angry and wanted to embarrass this man who had remained calm and collected throughout. This made him throw the badge at a slightly high angle, so if Xia You wanted to catch it, she would have to take a few steps back!

But the badge was only halfway through its flight when it was firmly grasped by a thick, gray chicken claw.

Receiving badges is such a trivial matter that trainers don't need to do it themselves!

Blaziken stared coldly at Adam, its eyes seemingly burning with fire. Although it was very dissatisfied with Adam, it had not received orders from its trainer, so it could only glare at him a few times before turning around and handing the badge to Xia You.

Xia You looked down at the badge in her hand.

Actually, the Raindrop Badge of the Glass Dojo has a very simple design. It is just a larger triangular raindrop composed of a blue and two blue-pink gradient raindrop shapes.

After putting away the badge, Xia You, unusually, didn't say anything to Adam, but just shook her head helplessly at him, seemingly mocking his pettiness. Then she greeted Liukia, and after Liukia hesitated to speak, she led Xiaoxia and Blaziken out of the battlefield and left the Liuli Gym.

Just as they stepped out of the dojo, they heard light footsteps behind them, and at the same time, Rukia's slightly panting voice came from behind.

"Please...please wait a moment!"

Before hearing that voice, Xiaoxia had been praying in her heart that she would never see Rukia again, but obviously, things did not develop as she had hoped.

Taking a deep breath, she and Xia You turned around together, wanting to see what else this glamorous idol had to do.

"What's wrong?" Xia You looked at the girl with a gentle expression as she rushed over.

Actually, he had a very good impression of this girl. She was not only beautiful but also very cheerful, and he could feel her strong youthful energy. The time he spent with her was very relaxing and enjoyable.

Of course, it would be even better if she could stop bickering with Xiaoxia...

Running up to her, and catching her breath, Rukia said apologetically, "Um... about my master, please don't mind him. He's actually a very good person, but he's afraid I'll be deceived, so he doesn't let me get too close to men. That's why he was so resistant when he saw you..."

"Don't worry." Before Xia You could answer, Xiao Xia said calmly, "Brother Xia You wouldn't get angry over such a small thing, and he wouldn't take it to heart."

"I didn't ask you, so you don't need to answer!"

Okay, here we go again?

Are these two natural enemies?

To get some peace and quiet, Xia You quickly pulled Xiaoxia behind her and gestured for her to be quiet before turning to look at Liuqia.

“It’s alright. Just like Xiaoxia said, I really don’t mind.” He said softly, “Since I started traveling, I’ve met all sorts of people, and I’ve encountered many whose attitudes were even worse than your master’s. Maybe by tomorrow, I’ll have completely forgotten about today’s incident.”

"Then I'm relieved." Ryukia breathed a sigh of relief, then looked into Xia You's eyes, shyly lowered her head, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... will we see each other again in the future?"

Hearing this, Xiaoxia almost choked with anger.

She was about to say something when she suddenly remembered that Xia You had told her to be quiet, so she could only stand behind Xia You and sulk alone.

"I think it should be possible," Xia You said confidently. "After all, there's still a long road ahead. Maybe one day we'll meet again at some time and place. Besides, as a Pokémon Coordinator, you'll definitely be appearing in tournament cities all over the world. When that time comes, I believe our chances of meeting will increase significantly."

"That makes sense!" Rukia's mood improved considerably, and she asked, "So after the Hoenn tournament ends and you leave Hoenn, where will you go?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Sinnoh region."

"Sinnoh!?" Upon hearing Xia You's answer, Rukia's eyes immediately lit up. "Really!? That's wonderful! My work focus will be on Sinnoh from now on! It seems we really are destined to meet again in Sinnoh!!"

After being forced to exchange contact information, Xia You and Xiao Xia finally left the street where the Glass Dojo was located.

Throughout the journey, Xiaoxia remained sullen, clearly troubled. Not only had she failed to shake off Liuqia, this persistent pest, but Liuqia had also obtained Xia You's contact information, and she might even encounter her again in the near future.

Sigh, why is she so difficult to deal with...

She was troubled for a long time, silently following Xia You. When she came to her senses and looked around at the road conditions, she realized that this was not the road to the port, but the road back to the Pokémon Center!

Surprised and feeling a little wronged, she pouted and grumbled, "Why are we back at the Pokémon Center again? Is it because you can't bear to leave that girl and want to stay a few more days?"

Without saying a word, Xia You raised her hand and flicked Xiaoxia's forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia You said with a smile. "My Pokémon are all injured, so of course they need to be treated first. Besides, there's something important I haven't taken care of yet, so I need to find a place where no one will bother me."

Strangely enough, after being flicked by Xia You, all of Xiaoxia's dissatisfaction and grievances vanished in that instant, and she returned to her usual somewhat willful and adorable self.

Moreover, she knew Xia You was right.

Although he had been a bit slow these past few days because of training Ugly Fish, Xia You still had something unfinished that was waiting for him to deal with!

Chapter 695 So you're a quick shooter!

"I thought it would be a long time before you contacted me again after we parted last time. I didn't expect that you would reappear in front of me after only a few days, especially on a night like this."
