I caught a Pokémon

Huoyan stood there, stunned.

She had already foreseen this scene once when she was at the underground dock, but she never expected it to happen again now!

Is it a harbinger?

Or is it a warning?

"Why...why am I seeing these things...?"

Noticing her unusual behavior, Xia You gave her a strange look: "What's wrong?"

"me……"

Huo Yan stared blankly at Xia You, remaining silent for a long while. She hesitated whether to tell the man what she had just seen, but she had no idea what it was. What if it was just a hallucination?

But perhaps... that really is something that is about to happen?

The thought of the safety of the leader and his team members...

Seeing her hesitation, Xia You interrupted her directly: "Don't forget what I just said, your life is mine now."

Huoyan:......

No one had ever said such a thing to her before. In Team Lava, although she was one of the executives, in Crimson Pine's eyes she was nothing more than a pawn that could be discarded at any time.

Looking at Xia You with a complicated expression, a strange feeling slowly grew in her heart.

If he had just become the leader, he certainly wouldn't have chosen to save himself, right?

"I think I saw something..." In the end, she chose to confess.

"What did you see?" Xia You turned her head to look left and right, but there was nothing special about them.

Firegoose hesitated for a moment: "A scene just flashed through my mind... the leader and his men will be attacked by Groudon soon... they will be wiped out..."

Xia You raised an eyebrow: "Was it a premonition or a hallucination? Did you have this ability before?"

Huo Yan shook her head. She couldn't understand why such a scene appeared in her mind. It was as if... someone was giving her a warning from the shadows.

“It seems that deep down you also sensed that Crimson Flame Pine’s operation wouldn’t go so smoothly.” Xia You didn’t think too much about it, but took the opportunity to say, “In that case, instead of worrying about their safety, why don’t you tell me their destination? We can go there and see what’s going on.”

Huoyan:......

Knowing Xia You's purpose, Huo Yan was now caught in a dilemma.

She was never one to talk much, and at that moment she appeared even more silent.

The leader's task for me was to keep this man occupied. Although I failed in the end, I had already perished along with him, which was my best effort.

And she really did want to know if the leaders and the others were safe.

but…

Telling this man the leader's destination would be tantamount to betraying Team Lava, wouldn't it?

Just then, Xia You's phone rang.

When I picked up my phone, I was surprised to see that it was Ah Quan calling.

It's worth mentioning that a long time ago, no matter if he was going up mountains or down to the sea, or facing scorching heat or freezing cold, Xia You had already changed his mobile phone because he often faced those harsh environments. His current phone is not only waterproof, but can also make short-term satellite communications, so even if he is in a deserted place, he can make long-distance calls via satellite.

Without any hesitation, Xia You answered the call right in front of Huo Yan.

Although it seems that A-Quan's departure from the Ocean Team has not been made public yet, even if the Ocean Team wants to hide it, they can't hide it. It will be exposed sooner or later. Besides, there is no need for him to hide it.

As soon as the call connected, Ah Quan's impatient voice came from the other end of the line.

"Have you figured out where the Crimson Flame Pine went?"

As her greatest rival, and being so close by, Huo Yan naturally recognized A Quan's voice. However, what puzzled her most was why A Quan was in contact with Xia You!

Xia You glanced at Huo Yan and shook her head: "Not yet. Although I captured Huo Yan, she won't say a single word."

Upon hearing the name Huoyan, there was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone, followed by a long sigh. Then, Aquan said, "Let me tell her."

Xia You's heart skipped a beat. Perhaps this could be a breakthrough?

Thinking of this, he pressed the speakerphone button and placed the phone in front of Huoyan.

"Fire Goose, listen to me." Aquan's voice was calm as he recounted everything that had happened to him at the meteorological research institute and later in the underwater cave. Finally, he added, "Actually, Groudon and Kyogre are the same. No matter who they are, once they revert to their original form, they will only bring destruction to this world!"

Fire Goose opened her eyes wide, her mind processing the information she had just heard.

What did she hear?

The number two player on the Ocean Team has actually left the team?

She's still following this man around?

Was Archie's inability to control Kyogre also due to this man?

In particular, A-Quan's simulation of Kyogre greatly shook her belief!

Controlling Groudon and harnessing its power—wouldn't that create a better world instead of bringing destruction?

Xia You had been quietly observing Huo Yan from the sidelines. Seeing that the time was right, she finally spoke up: "So... are you willing to cooperate now?"

Huo Yan gave Xia You a deep look, but didn't answer immediately. Instead, she said, "Alright, I can take you to find the leader, but whether it's really as you say, I'll have to see it with my own eyes to find out!"

Xia You shrugged indifferently.

Although Huoyan was still somewhat skeptical, she had already achieved her goal. As long as she could find the Crimson Flame Pine and retrieve the pearl, what did it matter whether she believed it or not?

Taking a deep breath, Huoyan recited a series of coordinates, and Aquan immediately hung up the phone after hearing the coordinates.

Seeing that she had become so cooperative, Xia You released his Dragonite again.

"Let's go, let's set off too."

With that, Xia You flipped over and mounted the fast dragon first, then reached out her hand to the fire goose.

Before this, Huo Yan had never imagined that she would be interacting with Xia You in this way. She felt confused for a moment, but after gritting her teeth, she still held Xia You's hand.

With Xia You's effort, Fire Goose was also pulled onto Dragonite's back and sat behind Xia You. In the next second, Dragonite suddenly leaped up, flapped its wings and flew high into the sky with the two of them!

Xia You took out her phone and sent a message to Xiaoxia.

Xiaoxia had already extinguished the fire on Songshen Mountain and was rushing here.

However, since there was no flying Pokémon for her to ride, and the place was remote, she could only walk slowly towards this place with Flü.

There was simply no time to wait for her.

Xia You then suggested that she change her route to Shuijing City, and that she would meet up with her there after she had finished dealing with her business.

Xiaoxia replied to him almost immediately. Knowing that she couldn't help much anymore, she sensibly agreed, telling Xia You to be careful while also saying that she would always be in Shuijing, waiting for his triumphant return!

Putting the phone away, and guided by the Fire Goose, Dragonite flew southeast.

Although Crimson Pine had set off earlier than them, the structure of that submarine meant that its speed would not be very fast. And Dragonite was clearly not just a name; it went all out and shot out like an arrow, flying hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye!

Chapter 707 You laid your hands on her?

After flying for more than ten kilometers, Xia You once again left the land and arrived at the vast and boundless sea.

Thanks to their flight through the sky, they didn't have to deliberately bypass some islands, thus reducing their distance. In addition, their speed was extremely fast, and they caught up with the progress of the Crimson Flame Pine in just over half an hour.

The huge orange iron lobster submarine, although it was submerged in the sea, could be clearly seen from below because it was not deep enough and was viewed from the air.

The shadow cast by its massive hull is barely visible from the side, but it stands out remarkably at this height!

Finding the Crimson Flame Pine brought Xia You a sigh of relief.

Although we know that the routes are the same and catching up with them is only a matter of time, we cannot relax for a moment until we catch up with them.

Now that we've caught up, we have a chance to stop them from waking up and controlling Groudon. Even if we can't get the Orb back, we should at least sabotage their operation.

Compared to him, Huo Yan's expression was much more complicated.

She ultimately led the enemy before the leader, and what happened next...

She dared not think about it anymore, nor could she imagine what kind of expression the leader would have when he saw her walking with Xia You.

Is it anger? Shock? Disappointment? Or something else entirely?

Xia You, sitting in the front, naturally couldn't see Huo Yan's expression or know what she was thinking.

Even if he knew, he would only smile knowingly.

Still thinking about Team Lava?

late!

Things have already come to this point, and you can't go back!

When Crimson Pine sees you with him, just like Archie before him, he will definitely conclude that you betrayed Team Magma and also betrayed him!

By then, even if you had a hundred mouths, you still wouldn't be able to explain yourself!

Even if Crimson Pine realized this, he couldn't change anything!

Even if he doesn't pursue the matter afterward, a rift has already formed in his heart. Can he guarantee that Fire Goose will still trust her as before after returning to the Lava Team? Will he still dare to entrust her with missions?

Once she is distanced or removed from her position as a cadre, creating a rift, Huoyan will naturally sense it and begin to have other thoughts.

This was a calculated move, one that was ultimately unsolvable: to force Fire Goose to break with Team Lava, thereby weakening their power.

Unless Chi Yansong is truly that magnanimous and can completely trust Huoyan, but given his personality, is that even possible?

With a smile, Xia You rode her Dragonite straight past the submarine without stopping, heading directly towards her destination.

Now that we've found them and confirmed their route, there's no need to keep following them.

He planned to give Chiyansong a surprise. Chiyansong probably never dreamed that, while he was still in the base, Huoyan not only failed to stop him, but also arrived before them.

This will further convince him that Huo Yan has already betrayed him!

They walked in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.

After flying for another half hour, around four o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at an archipelago.

This is an extremely remote group of igneous rock islands, consisting of about eight or nine small islands. The largest island is only about the size of two or three football fields. There is little vegetation on the island, and no crater can be seen. The highest point is only five or six meters above sea level. It is the kind of place that is completely unremarkable at first glance.

If it weren't for the fact that Firebird was certain that this was its destination, it would be hard to believe that Groudon, the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region, was hiding here!

At this moment, Xia You received another message from A Quan.

Compared to the Hoenn continent, Sootopolis City is a bit farther away, but not by much. It's only about a ten-minute difference in distance. At this point, after sailing at full speed, Izumi had already entered the Lava Rock Islands.

After agreeing on a meeting place, Xia You controlled Dragonite and landed on the largest island in the archipelago.

After Xia You got off the Dragonite, he looked around, but apart from the waves and the sea breeze, there was not a sound, and he didn't even see a single Pokémon. It was like a dead island!

Looking at the Fire Goose that had also jumped down, he asked in surprise, "Are you sure Groudon is really hiding here?"

Firegoose nodded: "Although we don't know its exact location, we have confirmed it repeatedly with various instruments. Groudon has always been hiding deep underground beneath our feet!"

Xia You asked curiously, "Red Flame Pine is really patient. Now that you knew Groudon's location, why didn't you try to catch it before? I believe that even without a Master Ball, you guys could definitely have done it, right?"

Fire Goose was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not that we're unwilling, but we've only been able to find Groudon for a few days, and after our last battle with you, we lost some of our Pokémon, which haven't had time to recover yet. Because we weren't 100% sure we could prevent it from escaping, we didn't rush into capturing it."

Hearing this, Xia You raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh: "So, it turns out I was partly responsible? I really did stumble upon this by accident!"

Whether it was because of Groudon or not, Xia You could feel that even the ground was hot when she stepped on this island!

No wonder it's barren!

Just then, as the sea broke open, Ah Quan's shark submarine surfaced not far away.

However, just a few seconds later, as the submarine approached the island, the hatch was opened, and A-Quan jumped out of the submarine.

With a few nimble leaps, he arrived in front of Xia You and Huo Yan. After glancing over Xia You, he fixed his gaze on Huo Yan.

Fire Goose went on alert almost instinctively!

"Oh dear," A-Quan chuckled teasingly, "I never imagined I'd meet you like this one day!"

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Xia You and said disdainfully, "What, is having me alone not enough? Are you reaching out to her now?"

A simple joke caused Huo Yan to look at Xia You in shock.

His relationship with Ah Quan is actually like this?!

And he saved me not just to stop the leader, but because he had other motives!?

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she's just joking." Seeing Huo Yan's expression, Xia You knew she seemed to believe it, so she quickly waved her hand and then frowned at A Quan, saying, "Hey, don't speak so ambiguously, it'll cause misunderstandings!"
