I caught a Pokémon

She suddenly became alert like a startled rabbit, thinking that Xia You was going to take the opportunity to do something to her, and immediately raised the remote control in her hand.

"You're right, I really can't let those people get involved, so as long as I'm buried with them, that's fine!"

As she spoke, Huoyan pressed a small button on the remote control with a forceful press of her finger.

Seeing her actions, Gengar smiled.

Hmph, you have no idea, do you? I've already unplugged the cables from your control room!!

Just as it was thinking this, a series of explosions rang out. Before Gengar could realize what was happening, the entire underground port collapsed. In an instant, ceilings, rocks, soil, and other things all came crashing down on them!

Xia You was startled!

The incident happened so suddenly that he never expected Huoyan to be so decisive!

Moreover, Gengar had clearly confirmed that measures had been taken, so why did this still happen?

However, in his heart, he had long been prepared for the worst possible outcome, as evidenced by the fact that he had just recalled all his Pokémon.

After all, Gengar is just a Pokémon, not a human. All it can do is destroy, not operate equipment, so it can't be foolproof.

But he really didn't expect that Huo Yan would actually dare to do such a thing!

"You're a madman!"

Even if it means mutual destruction, they would still kill each other. What kind of deep hatred and resentment could they possibly have?

The shattered ceiling and countless stones and dirt fell quickly, or rather, it could be described as a complete collapse!

With just a swipe, and as the lights above went out, the entire area crashed down.

The emergency lights turned on almost instantly, and Xia You's two Pokémon reacted very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Gengar and Deoxys had already performed protective actions at the same time.

Deoxys used its telekinesis to create a protective shield above, and Gengar floated onto Xia You's head to prevent any heavy objects or other dangers from breaking through the shield.

Seeing Huo Yan already closed her eyes and waiting to die, Xia You cursed inwardly, and without thinking much, pulled her over.

Just as Huo Yan was pulled to Xia You's side, he felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and the things above his head fell down with a crackling sound, hitting Deoxys's protective shield!

The ground shook violently, but it was only a small-scale explosion.

This made Xia You realize that Huoyan had not detonated the entire base, but only their underground port!

It seems that, just like this underground port, the destruction device here is also set up separately!

Although the first wave was blocked, a large number of rocks and soil were still falling from above. However, it must be said that the mountain outside the base was very solid. Although an irreversible collapse had occurred, by sheer coincidence, two huge rocks were temporarily blocking the collapse in a 'V' shape, preventing more of it from falling!

However, judging from their continuous downward trajectory, the blockage is only temporary. Perhaps in just a few seconds, they will all crash down again!

Xia You knew that he didn't have much time left.

When Huo Yan realized that she had been saved by Xia You, she opened her eyes and looked at Xia You, clearly extremely surprised.

"Why...why did you save me!?"

"You want to die, but I can't watch you die in front of me, even though you just wanted to die with me."

Upon hearing this answer, Huoyan's eyes widened, and she stared at him blankly.

But the next second, she shook her head again: "You're just wasting your time. The exit is blocked, we can't get out, and we'll all be buried alive in the end."

Hearing her words, Xia You turned her head and glanced at the entrance she had just entered through, and found that it had indeed been buried by countless stones, without revealing a single crack.

Just as he was about to say something, Gengar next to him knocked a falling rock away. Turning around, he saw Xia You still having the mood to talk and immediately became anxious: "Hey, stop flirting with girls and hurry up and think of a way to get out of here! This place is really about to collapse!"

As a Ghost-type Pokémon, Gengar naturally wouldn't worry about its own safety; it could easily escape the crisis by simply turning to the ground. However, it had to consider Xia You's safety.

only……

Pick up girls?

You call this picking up girls?

You big idiot!

Xia You glared at Gengar, but ignored it and instead focused her gaze on the water beside her.

"Actually, there's another way: we can leave through the water!"

As he spoke, he pulled hard, dragging the fire goose to the water's edge, and was about to jump into the water.

Looking down at the unfathomable depths of the sea, Huo Yan frowned: "What do you want to do? Are you going to take me away?"

"Otherwise what?" Xia You retorted. "Are you really going to leave you here alone to die?"

"Are you kidding me?" Huo Yan looked at him in surprise. "Don't forget, I was just about to die with you... and... I've already succeeded halfway..."

"Don't we still have our other halves? And coincidentally, I'm the kind of person who likes to turn enemies into friends. Alright, there's really no time left now, let's hurry down, it's the only way we can leave!"

After saying that, he pulled Huoyan again, intending to jump into the water.

"Wait!" Huoyan called out to him again, "I...I can't leave, and...and...I can't swim..."

"Can't swim? You're not even afraid of death, why would you be afraid of this? Or is it that deep down you don't want to die like this?"

These words were like a sharp arrow, striking Huoyan's heart and causing her body to tremble.

Is she afraid of death?

I shouldn't be afraid, after all, I've already made up my mind and even taken action.

But...why is my heart beating so fast right now? And my body is shaking too?

Xia You didn't want to give Huo Yan any more chance to hesitate. He took a deep breath, took out a Milotic Poké Ball from his waist pouch with one hand, and pulled Huo Yan with the other. Then, he leaped into the sea below!

Pfft!

The seawater in the underground port was icy cold and bone-chilling, causing Xia You to shiver instantly.

At the same time, his Milotic emerged from the Poké Ball and swam up to him.

As mentioned earlier, Huoyan indeed cannot swim. Before being pulled into the sea, she only had time to hold her breath before falling into the water.

In an instant, just like anyone who can't swim, she closed her eyes, held her breath, and instinctively stretched out her arms and legs as if trying to grab something.

Just then, she felt her hands suddenly being released. She was startled, but then she felt her waist being wrapped around, and her hands seemed to have grabbed the scales of some animal. She was then propelled forward by a tremendous force and swam quickly!

In the sea, Xia You kept her eyes open, one hand gripping Milotic's scales, the other tightly holding onto Fire Goose, making sure she wouldn't be thrown off by Milotic.

In the water, no one can swim faster than a Water-type Pokémon. If you want to leave this place in a short time, you can only rely on your Milotic!

To be honest, after receiving Maya's blessing, he didn't feel too uncomfortable being underwater; instead, he had an indescribable feeling.

At this moment, only Deoxys remained beside him.

Gengar clearly dislikes water, and the moment Xia You jumped into the water, it disappeared into his shadow, leaving only Deoxys to protect him.

Thump... Thump...

Stones kept falling into the water, splashing up waves as they crashed towards the seabed.

Deoxys once again used its psychic powers to create a protective shield and followed behind to protect Xia You from the falling rocks. At the same time, Milotic, like a sea serpent, went all out and swam at its fastest speed ever, carrying the two humans on its back, towards the other end of the passage!

Chapter 706 Persuading Fire Goose

This underwater passage leading to the sea surface was longer than Xia You had anticipated.

Fortunately, light strips were installed on both sides of the passage, so it wasn't too dark and the road ahead could be vaguely seen.

Milos's gaze was resolute as the water it broke through continuously washed over Xia You and Huo Yan's bodies.

He had only swum for a dozen seconds when a loud bang came from behind him, even though he was in the water. He realized that the underground port must have been completely buried!

The difference in time was so small, it was quite a close call.

The shockwaves from the collapse quickly reached Xia You and his group through the water.

This had no effect on them at all; they just felt the seawater ripple and their bodies feel like they had been pushed hard. But for Huoyan, who couldn't swim and had her eyes closed, this was a bit unexpected and made her unable to hold her breath.

Bubbles were rising from her mouth, and it looked like she was about to spit them all out...

Xia You was alright, or rather... she even felt she could hold on for a few more minutes.

This is his body after being blessed; it's truly amazing how it allows him to remain largely unaffected in the water...

Although he became the Warrior of the Sea through his own strength, every time this happens, he would once again thank the High Priest Maya, with whom he had shared a night of pleasure.

but……

He glanced at Huoyan with concern, hoping she could hold on a little longer.

Just then, Milotic finally swam out of the narrow passage and began to swim towards the surface.

Sunlight shone through the water, illuminating the nearby sea and giving them hope.

However, Huoyan couldn't hold on any longer and suddenly coughed, causing a large amount of seawater to rush into her mouth.

She choked on water!

Fortunately, just over ten seconds later, with Milotic leaping, they finally emerged from the water!

Although they were still in the sea, the first thing Xia You did after emerging from the water was to lean against Milos, wrap his arms around Huo Yan's waist from behind, and find her lower abdomen. With his squeeze, Huo Yan spat out a mouthful of seawater.

Although Flame's eyes remained closed and showed no signs of waking up, at least her heart could be felt beating faintly!

There shouldn't be any danger to his life.

At that moment, Deoxys also flew out of the sea.

It just used its telekinesis to protect itself in the seawater. Although it can't swim, it can still move in this way, but it's much slower than Milotic.

Xia You instructed it, "Take us up quickly!"

Deoxys made no move, but a psychic force appeared out of thin air, enveloping Xia You, the unconscious Fire Goose, and Milotic, and bringing them all to the top of the cliff.

Coincidentally, this cliff was the very one Xia You had surveyed before entering the Lava Team's base, and there were even their footprints there. However, he had only been looking for the cave entrance on the cliff face and hadn't observed the underwater area, thus missing this underwater passage.

Xia You laid Huo Yan flat on the ground, first taking off her cloak, then unzipping her clothes.

Gengar emerged from the shadows and clicked its tongue twice after seeing Xia You's actions.

"Although I know you haven't been with a human female in a long time, and you're at your age and still quite virile, it seems a bit inappropriate for you to do this now, doesn't it? Should we leave for a moment?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xia You rolled her eyes at it. "I'm saving her!"

"Huh?" Gengar was taken aback. "Do you need to take off her clothes to save her? What you're doing now... is exactly the same thing you did to your women every night before?"

"Go! Go! Go…"

Too lazy to explain, Xia You lifted Huo Yan's clothes and placed both hands on her slightly bulging abdomen, squeezing hard to promote the expulsion of water from her airway through abdominal thrusting.

After pressing down twice, Huoyan coughed a few more times, vomiting up a large amount of seawater, and her lower abdomen finally returned to normal.

Weakly opening her eyes, Huo Yan didn't even have the strength to move a finger. She could only lie there on her back, first glancing at Xia You, then staring blankly at the sky, speechless for a long time.

After resting for a while, a gentle breeze blew by and touched her stomach, making her realize something was wrong.

She yanked her clothes over her stomach and sat up abruptly, but before she could speak, Xia You said calmly, "You are already dead."

Huo Yan was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Xia You leaned back against a rock and snorted, "If I hadn't just saved you, you would be dead in the base or in the water. So, your life is mine now."

Huo Yan frowned at him: "You think I'll tell you the leader's location just like that?"

"So how do you plan to repay my life-saving grace? Let me guess, you're not the kind of person who doesn't repay kindness, are you?"

Huoyan:......

One sentence was enough to leave Huoyan speechless.

As mentioned before, Fire Goose is not inherently bad. Even though she is with Team Lava, she is simply following orders and has never done anything immoral. She is certainly not the type to repay kindness with enmity.

Moreover, having lived through life again, she truly realized that she did not want to die such a tragic death.

She... has finally come out of her rut!

Just then, another image flashed through her eyes.

On a small island covered in volcanic rock, Groudon, seemingly bathed in lava, roared as it burst forth from the rocks, spewing energy that easily destroyed several surrounding islands, turning the nearby sea red. Fires raged, and Pokémon scattered in all directions. Amidst this chaos, the leader and Team Magma disembarked from the submarine and arrived before Groudon.

Before they could do anything, Groudon opened its mouth, and the next second, a burst of energy struck them...

Huoyan suddenly awoke at that moment, and the scene before her returned to normal, transforming back into Xia You not far away.

what is this?
