I caught a Pokémon

“That’s absolutely impossible!” Higanbana said in a deep voice. “Don’t think that you can see Rayquaza just because you reach the Dragon Altar. It will only respond to the call of the Rainbow Meteorite, and the Rainbow Meteorite has been lost for a long time. Even if you get there, you will only have made a wasted trip!”

Higanbana is right about this; the Rainbow Meteorite has indeed been lost. Therefore, even the Meteorites cannot see Rayquaza from the Dragon Shrine. This is why she was so determined and reckless to approach Rayquaza when she captured Deoxys last time.

That was arguably her only chance to see Rayquaza!

"Perhaps," Xia You said indifferently. "For you, it's true that you need the Rainbow Meteorite to see Rayquaza, but don't forget, I have Deoxys in my possession!"

One sentence made Xijiana suddenly realize the truth.

That's right. Besides summoning, the simplest way to see Rayquaza is to attract its attention. Given Deoxys's immense power, this should be easy, especially in a place as close to Rayquaza as Sky Pillar...

It has to be said that, after being persuaded by Xia You, Xijiana really wavered.

On one hand, she didn't want outsiders to go to the Sky Pillar. On the other hand, if Xia You could really attract Rayquaza's attention and make it land at the Dragon Altar, wouldn't that give her another chance to see Rayquaza?

I absolutely cannot miss such an opportunity!

"I understand." The thought flashed through her mind, and Higana finally relented. "Where are you now? I'll come find you!"

Xia You's face broke into a smug smile, but her voice remained unchanged: "I'm in Shuijing City. How long will it take you to get here?"

Higana pondered for a moment: "I'm currently quite far away, so I can only set off early tomorrow morning. It will take at least three days!"

Three days...

Xia You nodded. Three days was more than enough time for him to make a round trip from Larousse City.

"Alright, let's meet in Watery City in three days!"

After hanging up the phone, Xia You turned around and went back to Xiao Zhi and the others. Seeing that they were looking at her, Xia You nodded to them.

"Looks like I still have two days of leisure time."

……

As the morning sunlight streamed into the boys' dormitory at the Pokémon Center, Xia You opened her eyes.

However, he didn't wake up by his own urge; he was actually awakened by a commotion!

When he looked at the clock on the wall, he realized it was only a little past six in the morning. Looking down, he saw that the source of the noise was none other than Ash's loud voice, who was arguing with Max about something and shouting non-stop.

Ugh…

Kids will be kids, no matter the world, they're so energetic this early in the morning.

This also reminded him of his first school field trip when he was a child. He wondered if he had been just as excited back then.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, Xia You's mind went blank, and she unexpectedly remembered some things that happened while she was still on Earth.

He... seemed a little homesick...

After lying in bed for a few more minutes, he finally snapped out of his reverie, lazily dragged his slightly tired body to get dressed and wash up, and then went to the restaurant to meet up with the others.

Although he slept for more than eight hours, he still felt that his energy had not been restored.

At this moment, everyone except him was ready, each of them had placed their luggage at their feet, and were prepared to set off at any time.

"Xia You, you're so slow!" Xiaoxia, sitting next to Xiaoyao, made a face. "Every time we sleep at the Pokémon Center together, you're always the last one to get up!"

Xia You yawned widely, ignored her, and sat down to start eating her own breakfast.

There was actually some good news on this trip to Larousse.

That means they don't need to travel a long distance at all; they can take the light rail directly from Water Town. This allows Xia You to rest a little longer in a more relaxed way while on her way there.

For Xia You now, every bit of strength he accumulates will allow him to last a few more minutes in the upcoming battle!

After finishing his breakfast at a leisurely pace, and amidst the expectant yet hesitant gazes of the others, Xia You finally slung his backpack over his shoulder and waved his hand dismissively.

"set off!"

With everything prepared, the group left the Pokémon Center and arrived at the light rail station in the city center.

Although the train only has two carriages, perhaps because there are so many tourists heading to Larousse, a regular train departs from here every 10 minutes.

The group bought tickets and boarded the train, but before they had even sat down, the train had already left the station.

At first, the group chatted intermittently, but once they got onto the overpass, no one spoke anymore, and everyone quietly focused their gaze out the window.

Through the huge windows inside the car, they could also take in most of the city of Shuijing.

From this angle, the city of Suyam appears even more bustling, and the pedestrians beneath your feet look like grains of rice.

Well, all I can say is that a different kind of scenery lingers in my heart.

Once outside of Waterloo City, the train sped up, and in about half an hour, it had passed through the dense forest and arrived in the area where Larousse City was located.

Location-wise, Larousse is situated on a large island in the middle of a river, backed by the city of Quietwater, and with the sea just a short distance away. Its population and transportation have facilitated its development.

Before they even got close to the island, they could see dozens of wind power stations standing there in the distance, their blades spinning tirelessly. Behind these rows of wind power stations lay the technologically advanced city of Larousse.

From their vantage point, they can see many uniquely shaped skyscrapers. It's easy to guess that, given that this is a city of technology, most of the industries here are naturally related to it.

Ash and Max immediately pressed their faces against the window, as if they couldn't wait to get out of the car and get a better look!

Only Xia You glanced at it briefly before silently withdrawing her gaze.

Having seen so much of this before, and having reached a certain age, this kind of thing, while slightly amazing to him, no longer held his attention.

All that could be heard was Xiao Sheng's occasional exclamations of surprise.

So noisy! It's almost as loud as a frog...

As soon as the light rail train finally stopped and the doors opened, Ash and Max couldn't wait to rush out.

When Xia You and the others got off the bus, they found that the two had already taken the escalator and were about to leave the station!

Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly: "I really don't understand why they're in such a hurry."

Ash, needless to say, has always had this kind of personality. And Max, who was originally quite honest, has unexpectedly started to develop in the same direction after traveling with Ash for so long!

All I can say is that Ash's influence is just too strong!

Behind them, Xia You and her group also got off the escalator.

However, before they could even leave the station, a robot made up of several small green cubes floated up in front of them.

Welcome to Larousse!

A smiley face appeared in the bottom square of the robot, and a clear voice came from its mouth.

As it spoke, the cube began to change continuously, eventually displaying the text "Welcome" on the screen!

"No wonder it's a high-tech city! They have such advanced things!" Xiao Sheng pushed up his glasses and exclaimed sincerely.

Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao nodded in agreement, but Xiaogang crossed his arms and said with a hint of disappointment, "Sigh, I feel that it's best to leave this kind of welcoming to those pretty older sisters!"

At this moment, the robot came up to them again, extended a camera, and took several pictures of their faces.

Xiaoyao was the first one to be photographed, but she obviously didn't expect the robot to do that, and was startled. Her facial features distorted involuntarily, and the robot naturally preserved her expression.

After Xia You and the others had all been photographed, several identity cards were sent out with a few sounds coming from inside the robot.

"This is a pass for this city. You can use it for shopping or just to get around. Please keep it safe!"

"Pass?"

Ash and his friends felt a sense of novelty and took their passes. However, when they looked at each other's photos, they found that the photos of the other people were normal, but the photo of May showed a terrified and distorted face!

Needless to say, this photo also received merciless ridicule from Ash and Max.

After saying that, the robot turned and floated away towards the other tourists.

Xiaoyao glanced at the departing robot, then at the pass in her hand, and was speechless.

"I really want to take another picture..."

Unfortunately, it's too late for her to say anything now.

Left with no other choice, she could only follow Xia You and her group as they continued walking out of the station. Once they were outside the light rail station, they truly began to appreciate the charm of the city!

Putting everything else aside, even the trash can closest to them is electronic!

It can not only actively identify the types of garbage, but it can even sort garbage by opening different compartments!

"Wow, that's amazing..." This was already the umpteenth time Xiao Sheng had exclaimed in amazement.

In contrast to him, Xiao Zhi's attention was clearly not on the trash can. He ran a few steps forward and then began to look around.

"Where is that famous battle tower? I can't see it!"

While focused on her surroundings, Xia You neglected her footing and accidentally stepped onto the conveyor belt, which carried her away from the area.

Only then did the others realize that there were conveyor belts on the ground leading in all directions, and that this was how people in the city moved around.

Xiao Zhi was startled and quickly ran back towards where Xia You and the others were. However, the conveyor belt was very fast, and no matter how hard he tried, he not only didn't get any closer, but was instead carried further and further away!

His strange behavior obviously attracted the attention of others.

Not far away, several stylishly dressed girls covered their mouths and chuckled softly.

It has to be said that Ash never disappoints when it comes to making a fool of himself.

Just as Xia You was about to deal with him, several more people were sent over from another direction on another conveyor belt next to Xiao Zhi.

Perhaps unable to bear seeing Ash in that state, one of the boys took out a Poké Ball, and with a wave of his hand, a Blaziken was released. After a few jumps, it grabbed Ash and carried him away from the conveyor belt.

"Phew... I'm finally saved..." Ash wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the boy gratefully, "Thank you so much..."

"You're welcome." Unexpectedly, the boy only glanced at Xiaozhi, as if he had done something insignificant, and waved his hand indifferently. "I didn't go to save you on purpose. I just couldn't stand how stupid other people were."

Chapter 717 Xia You: I exclaimed, "Wow!"

"What did you say!?"

Upon hearing this, Ash immediately flew into a rage, and all his gratitude for being saved vanished in an instant!

The boy simply put his hands in his pockets and looked at him indifferently. However, a slightly chubby boy next to him smiled at Ash and said, "Is this your first time in this city? I heard you all. You're going to the Battle Tower? But the Battle Tower isn't in that direction. Come with us!"

As he spoke, he stepped onto the conveyor belt leading in another direction.

At this moment, Xia You also took a closer look at the people in front of her.

First, there's the boy who just saved Ash. He's about 14 or 5 years old, wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and trousers, a very old-fashioned look. His hair is past his ears, his face is fair, and his features are delicate. He looks very calm, like the kind of person who fights with his brain.

In this respect, he is completely the opposite of Ash!

Beside him was the chubby boy who had just spoken. He was about the same age as the teenager, with a red ribbon tied around his head, wearing a black shirt and shorts, giving him a somewhat hip-hop vibe.

Besides the two girls, there were two other girls who were a little younger and dressed in the same style of clothes. Looking at their faces, they looked almost exactly the same.

Oh? Twins?

This was the first time Xia You had seen twins since she came to this world!

Upon closer inspection, the two girls were about the same age as Xiao Sheng, both wearing tall hats and short skirts. Apart from the slight difference in the color of their clothes, they looked almost identical!

Because they were quite rare, Xia You couldn't help but take another look, only to find that the two girls seemed very cheerful, with innocent and carefree smiles always on their faces.

Finally, Xia You glanced at the boy's Blaziken one last time.

Judging from its fur and body, his Blaziken is quite well-bred, and its eyesight is very sharp. I just wonder which one is stronger, Blaziken or his own.

Like their group, these four were clearly also a team.

Upon hearing that these people knew where the Battle Tower was, Ash immediately perked up. Too lazy to argue with them, he followed the twin girls and stepped onto the conveyor belt.

Seeing that Xiao Zhi had followed, Xia You and the others exchanged glances and had no choice but to follow as well.

In fact, Xia You wasn't particularly interested in the Battle Tower; it was just about fighting. What he wanted to do most right now was to find Deoxys, who was hiding here. However, since he was new to the area, he didn't know Deoxys's location yet, so he could only follow the main group and search slowly.

Just then, he suddenly felt the Poké Ball at his waist sway gently.

Clearly, its own Deoxys had also sensed the presence of its kind nearby. Unfortunately, this was a high-tech city, and the magnetic field permeated the streets and alleys, directly affecting its perception. Although it vaguely sensed its kind, it was equally unable to discern the direction.

"Don't rush, it's not time to let you out yet. Wait a little longer, and you'll be able to see them soon."

Under his reassurance, Deoxys inside the advanced ball finally calmed down.

Stepping onto the conveyor belt, Xia You stood at the very back of the line. Looking ahead, she saw that Xiao Zhi was acting as if nothing had happened, and had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with the boy.

It has to be said that Ash's characteristic is quite admirable; even if there was a slight unpleasantness, he would put it behind him in the blink of an eye.

If it were him, if anyone dared to give him a hard time, he would immediately blacklist that person in his mind. How could he possibly act like nothing had happened?

Ash glanced at the Blaziken and said to the boy, "I'm Ash from Pallet Town. Are you going to the Battle Tower too? Want to battle me?"
