I caught a Pokémon

Smiling, Xia You waved to the two of them, then stood there, turned around and looked in another direction, watching Yuko's figure gradually disappear into the distance, before calling out her Gengar.

"I know, I know!" Gengar shrugged before he could even speak. "Stalking again, huh? Seriously, how many times has this happened? Can't you find someone else to do this dirty work?"

"That shows how important you are." Hearing Gengar tease him, Xia You chuckled. "Besides, other Pokémon aren't like you, able to fly and burrow everywhere. Who else but you could do this job?"

At this point, Xia You changed the subject and cautioned, "Be careful. I don't know what the security facilities at that research institute are like. Be sure to keep yourself hidden and don't alert them!"

"Don't worry about me getting things done, it'll be perfect!"

Patting his chest, Gengar quietly followed in the direction Yuko had left, while Xia You waited until Yuko was far away, making sure that he wouldn't be discovered if he set off now, before slowly walking in the direction she had left.

He planned to take advantage of the moment and try his luck at the laboratory. If he could successfully infiltrate, he would be able to see the core of Deoxys directly.

With Gengar by his side, Xia You didn't need to follow so closely. He strolled leisurely through the city, enjoying the scenery and experiencing the unique local customs of this high-tech metropolis.

However, before he had gone very far, the high-grade ball at his waist suddenly began to shake violently.

The next second, a large patch of red aurora suddenly fell from the sky!

The aurora came so suddenly and so unusually, seemingly covering the entire city in the blink of an eye!

Xia You looked up at the sky and realized what had happened in an instant—another Deoxys had arrived!

At the same time, his phone rang, and as soon as he answered, Xiaoxia's voice came from the other end.

"Brother Xia You, what is this—?"

“That’s right, that’s it.” Xia You gave her a definite answer, then said to her in a deep voice, “Don’t make a fuss yet. You and Xiao Yao shouldn’t keep wandering around. Hurry up and find Xiao Zhi and the others. Don’t get separated, something might happen soon!”

"how about you?"

"I will act according to the circumstances."

"I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, Xia You sighed. He could only say that this Deoxys had arrived too quickly, leaving him unable to implement many of his plans.

However, although there is some impact, since the plan was to let Deoxys meet them anyway, it doesn't matter whether it's a little earlier or later.

At this moment, people on the street looked up at the sky. Although they were also very surprised and did not understand why an aurora that should not have appeared here would suddenly appear, no one paid any attention to it and just thought that they had encountered some rare weather.

Fortunately, the aurora came and went quickly, lasting only a few seconds before disappearing again.

However, as the aurora disappeared, the advanced ball began to shake even more violently.

Looking around, Xia You went to a secluded corner and released her Deoxys and Gardevoir.

Through Gardevoir's telepathic connection, Xia You immediately established a link with her Deoxys.

'Can you sense where your kind are?'

'...I can't perceive...the magnetic field...is too...severe...'

Actually, if you want to contact that Deoxys, there is an even faster way, which is to have your Deoxys also emit aurora. But that would be too obvious and would easily attract the attention of some people.

Especially Dr. Rondo and Yuko, who brought back the Deoxys core, would probably realize, just like me, that Deoxys had arrived in this city the moment they saw the aurora!

However, it's not an option to just let it go unchecked, since in the movie, it was this Deoxys that, after failing to find its companions, ultimately attacked the entire city.

We need to at least calm it down first...

Xia You's purpose in coming here was actually very simple: to meet these two Pokémon and to prevent the Deoxys from attacking the city and later battling Rayquaza, causing great destruction to the city!

Having no other choice, after much deliberation, Xia You decided to use this method to attract the attention of the Deoxys.

However, in choosing a location, he did not choose to release the aurora above the city, but instead, with Deoxys and Gardevoir's teleportation, he arrived in the vast forest outside Larus City.

This way, even if someone senses something is wrong, they won't be able to find the culprit immediately!

Whoosh!

A figure with two Pokémon appeared in the forest.

After confirming that there was no one else there, Xia You nodded to her Deoxys.

Let's begin.

Upon receiving Xia You's command, Deoxys looked up at the sky, and at the same time, a blue light emanated from its core, shooting straight into the sky. Instantly, a huge blue aurora, like a giant net, enveloped the entire forest!

Almost simultaneously, the red aurora reappeared in the city. The two auroras were close together, echoing each other, and their lights even intertwined.

The moment the red aurora lit up, even without Gardevoir's reminder, Xia You saw a figure flying towards them at an extremely fast speed!

In just half a minute, the figure had already landed opposite Xia You.

Only now did he finally see clearly that a Deoxys exactly like his own was standing right in front of him!

The two Deoxys gazed at each other, their bodies simultaneously rising into the air, slowly circling like two graceful dancers!

Chapter 720 The Valiant Rayquaza

The two Pokémon made strange noises that were difficult to understand. Because their telepathic connection was temporarily severed, Xia You didn't know what they were saying, but it seemed that they were having a friendly exchange.

This can be seen from the fact that they did not make any unnecessary movements. After communicating for a long time, the two Deoxys landed together in front of Xia You.

From the outside, the two Deoxys look exactly the same, but to Xia You, one felt more familiar and looked at him with a more peaceful gaze, while the other exuded an indifferent pressure, making it easy for him to distinguish which one was his Pokémon.

Seeing that her Deoxys nodded at her, Xia You knew that things were half successful.

Next, all we need to do is persuade this Deoxys to avoid causing damage to the city like in the movie, thus eliminating this crisis ahead of schedule, and then secretly find its companions.

With that in mind, he had Gardevoir use telepathy to establish a connection with the wild Deoxys.

"I know where your companion is, and I know it is safe and sound, so please don't rush. I hope you can wait a little longer and search for it in a gentle way."

'...I understand...my companion believes...and I'm willing to...believe in you too...'

Seeing that the wild Deoxys had followed his advice, Xia You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had been worried that this wild one would be unable to communicate, but now it seemed that everything was going very smoothly.

Now, having successfully brought its Deoxys to meet it, it has fulfilled its wish and made it understand that it is not alone, that there are other beings of its kind on this planet besides itself.

For Xia You, this was already the greatest goal of his trip, and the greatest guarantee that his Deoxys would stay by his side forever!

At that moment, both Deoxys looked up at the distant sky and assumed a defensive posture.

At first, Xia You was a little surprised, but when he looked up at the sky and saw a small black dot rushing toward them, he knew what they were wary of!

Rayquaza is here!

Sure enough, allowing Deoxys to communicate through the aurora borealis not only drew human attention to this strange phenomenon, but also attracted the top predators in the ozone layer!

Given Rayquaza's extremely vengeful nature, if it has suffered a great loss before, it will definitely seek revenge upon seeing Rayquaza again!

It can only be said that what was bound to happen has happened, and there was no way to avoid it.

Although the two Deoxys only used the Aurora Borealis, a seemingly powerless attack compared to the previous battle between Groudon and Kyogre, its impact on the ozone layer was far greater than the battle itself!

It at least directly attracted Rayquaza's attention!

Fortunately, I had the foresight to leave the city in advance, so I shouldn't be involved with Larousse for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, Rayquaza had already flown over the forest, and when it spotted Deoxys, it didn't hesitate at all, it spewed energy and launched an attack!

Both Deoxys took to the air at the same time, dodging the energy while also meeting Rayquaza head-on.

The energy didn't hit Deoxys, but kept flying towards the ground.

Gardevoir, quick-witted and agile, used its psychic powers to protect Xia You's trainer. Just as Xia You was being protected by psychic powers, Rayquaza unleashed its scorching energy, which simultaneously poured onto him!

In an instant, Xia You could see nothing but orange-yellow energy, completely enveloped by Rayquaza's attack!

Even though his mental energy protected him from harming him, he still felt an unbearable heat wave!

Fortunately, the attack lasted only a moment, and after just a few seconds, the energy attack disappeared.

But this also ignited Xia You's anger.

Rayquaza really doesn't care about the lives of humans!

Come to think of it, it lives high above the ozone layer, and its dragon-like or snake-like body makes it extremely indifferent to life. Although it is worshipped by the Meteor People and is even called a savior, in essence, it is just a cold-blooded Pokémon that treats the entire planet as its own territory.

It stopped the battle between Kyogre and Groudon before, but that was only because their fight caught its attention!

But no matter what, seeing two Deoxys here, Rayquaza still dared to launch an attack, which shows how brave it is!

From another perspective, courage taken to a certain extent becomes mindlessness.

He had Gardevoir take him away from there, and found a relatively safe place to quietly watch the show.

Judging from the movie and its combat power, Rayquaza already struggled to deal with one Deoxys, let alone two at the same time. I want to see what kind of confidence Rayquaza has at this moment!

In the sky, thanks to their telepathic connection, the two Deoxys worked together seamlessly, blocking Rayquaza's path of movement from one in front and the other behind, before launching their attack simultaneously.

Two beams of black light shot out from their cores. Although Rayquaza dodged the first one, it was still hit by the second beam and let out a painful howl.

However, as one of the top predators on this planet, such an attack was still within its tolerance range. It twisted its body and turned to attack the Deoxys behind it, but just as it released its energy, the Deoxys nimbly dodged it!

Xia You had heard of two dragons playing with a pearl before, but she never expected to see two 'pearls' today that had tricked the dragons.

While these three Pokémon were battling it out, at the Lundo Research Institute in Larus City, Professor Lundo and Yuko were already busy with their own affairs.

The two of them naturally noticed the aurora that first appeared in the city.

At first, however, they didn't take it seriously. After all, nothing is absolute in the Pokémon world, and the aurora might have been caused by some Pokémon.

Moreover, it was four years ago when they went to Antarctica to witness Rayquaza's battle with Deoxys and brought back the core of another Deoxys. Four years had long since made them forget that scene, and they would never have imagined that Deoxys, which should have been defeated by Rayquaza, would travel so far to find them here!

But when another blue aurora appeared in the deep forest, echoed by a red aurora, they finally realized something was wrong.

It was Deoxys who came!

The two of them quickly figured out the reason for its arrival after only a moment's thought.

It must have come to find its kind!

Logically speaking, since Deoxys came looking for it, the core of the other Deoxys should be returned. However, four years have passed since they obtained the core, and the two of them have invested countless energy, resources, and effort in it. Especially since their experiment has recently reached its final stage, how can they easily give it up?

Without handing over the core, it's obvious that Deoxys will turn this place upside down!

For the safety of the city's residents, although Yuko gave her advice immediately, Dr. Rondo did not adopt it after thinking for a moment. Instead, he contacted Officer Jenny via video call, wanting her to issue a notice for an emergency evacuation for all.

However, this is a major event that affects hundreds of thousands of people. Even the slightest mistake will draw public criticism. Officer Jenny naturally dared not be careless and could not issue a notice so easily based on just one sentence. She could only find out the truth first.

“Dr. Lundo.” In the equally high-tech police station, Officer Jenny looked at Dr. Lundo through the large screen and couldn’t help but ask, “Why is this Deoxys here? And what is it looking for?”

Dr. Lundo naturally dared not reveal the core of the laboratory, but only said: "What it is looking for is not important. The problem we are facing now is that after this Deoxys, Rayquaza is also very likely to land near the city. If they fight, even if it causes any damage to Larus City, it is not something we can afford!"

She knew he was right. Although her professional instincts told her that Dr. Lundo was hiding something, now was not the time to delve into it. If what the doctor said was true, and the two Pokémon started a war in the city, it would indeed cause devastating destruction.

"I understand. I will issue the evacuation order now. If there are any further developments where you are, please remember to contact me immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Officer Jenny pressed the red button on the control panel without any hesitation, and almost simultaneously, all the robots in the city sprang into action.

The green screens that originally represented safety have all turned yellow and are now announcing evacuations door-to-door, moving through the streets and alleys. In conjunction with the conveyor belts, they are transporting residents and tourists throughout the city to nearby shelters.

……

In a closed park, Xiao Zhi and his friends were gathered together. Beside them, Xiao Chao and a diamond-shaped, transparent, ethereal being shimmering with blue light were whispering to each other.

After they parted ways at the coffee shop, perhaps because of his talent for finding troubled children, Ash easily found Xiao Chao there, and at that moment he saw the strange luminous object next to Xiao Chao.

Although Xiao Chao immediately shielded the radiant creature behind him, Xiao Zhi also demonstrated his outstanding talent. In just a few words, they became friends, which made Xiao Chao lower his guard and introduce the radiant creature to him.

Just then, Xiaogang and Xiaosheng came over, and not long after, Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao also arrived at the park. Except for Xia You, they all gathered together again.

Amidst the laughter and conversation, they heard the alarm sound.

It's fair to say that when this voice reached their ears, everyone except Xiaoxia was completely baffled.

"What on earth happened?" Xiao Zhi looked around and then looked outside the park, but apart from the evacuating crowd, he didn't see anything.

"Could it be related to the aurora we just saw?" Xiao Gang immediately grasped the key point, but he wasn't sure if it was related to the sudden aurora we just saw.

Only Xiaoyao seemed to realize something and turned her gaze to Xiaoxia.

After all, when that aurora appeared, Xiaoxia was clearly acting a little strange. She even called Xia You, and after hanging up, she brought herself directly to find Xiaozhi and the others. It would be impossible for her not to know something.

Since they were a group of people, Xiaoxia naturally didn't need to hide anything.

But with Xiao Chao present, she didn't explain anything, but just shook her head at Xiao Yao, signaling her not to make a fuss.

Xiaoyao returned her gaze, indicating that she understood. These two girls, who had become close friends, had already exchanged a silent message without anyone else knowing.

Xiao Sheng naturally didn't notice his sister's unusual behavior. He glanced at the crowd outside and urged the others, "Shouldn't we hurry up and leave here to seek refuge?"

Hearing his words, Xiao Chao stood up, pointed to a small gate in another direction of the park, and said, "If you want to take refuge, I know a better place. It leads to my father's research institute, and the protection level is very high!"
