I caught a Pokémon

In the sky, after being ambushed, the black Rayquaza was clearly even more enraged.

Its attacks became more ferocious and more frenzied, and its actions became more unpredictable.

Xia You knew this was Rayquaza's moment to attack, but she wasn't afraid of it.

Not to mention that Deoxys's strength is on par with its own, and with me as its trainer, why would it be afraid of it?

Instead of avoiding a direct confrontation, Deoxys, under his command, instantly transformed from its normal form into its attack form and engaged in a head-on battle with Black Rayquaza!

The battle intensified in an instant.

The two Pokémon fought their way from the sky to the Dragon Altar, forcing Xia You and the others to dodge to avoid being caught in the crossfire. They then fought back from the Dragon Altar into the sky, disappeared into the clouds, and finally returned to the sky once more.

Everywhere is their battlefield.

Each clash of moves resulted in a deafening explosion that echoed throughout the entire island.

Fortunately, this was on a deserted island far from human society, so there was no need to worry about attracting the attention of others or causing any damage. As a result, Xia You was able to go all out and let Deoxys fight with all his might!

This caused the two Pokémon to really get into a fight.

Neither of them wanted to back down. One had received orders and was determined to capture the Pokémon in front of it, while the other was also vengeful and would not leave in a sorry state after being summoned here.

At this moment, they all had only one thought in their minds—to defeat the opponent at all costs!

Chapter 729 Subjugation!

Bang---!!!

High in the sky, two terrifying energies collided and the shockwave from the explosion directly dispersed all the clouds near the Sky Pillar, creating a clear airspace several kilometers away centered on the battlefield!

Even the Sky Pillar trembled slightly under such impact, especially at the top of the tower, where the shaking became very obvious and intense.

With such clear air, the entire building was exposed for the first time, leaving no secrets whatsoever.

This situation may never have occurred since the Pillars of the Sky were built.

Thousands of years ago, the Meteor People built this Sky Pillar so solidly and protected it with a unique power, naturally hoping that it wouldn't collapse so easily in battle. Although they anticipated that fierce battles might occur in the years to come, they obviously didn't expect that one day, a Pokémon of equal strength to Rayquaza would be fighting against it.

Under the terrifying power of the two Pokémon, Sky Pillar stands like a lighthouse in the ocean, silently enduring the raging storm amidst lightning and thunder, making one wonder if it might one day give way.

This has exceeded the limit that the Sky Pillar can withstand!

Fortunately, the main battleground for the two Pokémon was not the Dragon Altar, which prevented the tower from being affected too much.

Even so, feeling the tremors beneath her feet, Xiaoxia still held onto a nearby stone pillar and slowly approached the Dragonite.

Only by being close to it can I feel a little at ease, knowing that even if the Sky Pillar collapses, it will save me immediately.

Sensing Xiaoxia's emotions, Dragonite turned to look at her, a smile spreading across his face as he gave her a thumbs up!

Compared to her, Xia You and Xijia's attention was not on the Sky Pillar at all, and they were completely oblivious to the tremors beneath their feet. They were focused on the battle above. At this moment, both of them knew clearly that this great battle had reached its most critical moment!

The brief but extremely intense battle not only depleted the stamina of both Pokémon, but also caused their condition to decline significantly as they were hit more and more times. Although their attacks were still fierce, they no longer had the domineering and oppressive feeling they had at the beginning of the battle!

With a sudden thought, Xia You knew it was time to make a change.

He used telepathy to switch Deoxys from Attack Mode to Speed ​​Mode, so that it no longer engaged in close combat with Black Rayquaza, but instead adopted a harassment tactic.

The effect of doing this is almost immediate.

Black Rayquaza, who had long been accustomed to the opponent's high-intensity attacks, was caught off guard by the sudden change in tactics.

Faced with Deoxys's sudden acceleration, the black Rayquaza was caught off guard and couldn't catch a glimpse of it at all!

In this mode, Deoxys's attack power is weakened, but that is only relative to these legendary Pokémon. In fact, its attacks are still sharp and cannot be withstood by Pokémon like Rayquaza with high attack and low defense!

Of course, the main reason is that Black Rayquaza's stamina had dropped too much, making it unable to cope with such an attack.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Deoxys was almost a blur!

Under such harassment, Black Rayquaza quickly succumbed and was defeated.

It roared, its huge, long body twisting and turning, as if trying to force Deoxys to continue its head-on confrontation with it, just like before.

If it were a wild Pokémon, it might really rush in on a whim.

But how could Xia You possibly give up such an advantage?

He built all of this up little by little through strategic planning.

First, let Deoxys use its Attack Mode to fight Black Rayquaza to a standstill. Then, when Deoxys is exhausted, use its huge speed advantage to make Black Rayquaza struggle to keep up and can only passively take hits.

Don't be fooled by how simple it sounds. When both sides are evenly matched, it takes a lot of effort for the trainer to lure the prey into the trap little by little!

But that's the role of a trainer!

It can make your Pokémon perform better, turn an even match into an advantage, and turn the impossible into possible!

This is also the biggest difference between wild Pokémon and Pokémon caught by humans!

Now is the time to close the net!

After Deoxys used its clone to dodge Black Rayquaza once again, its main body reappeared behind Black Rayquaza and successfully attacked again!

A powerful energy ball struck the black Rayquaza squarely in the back!

With a burst of energy, Black Rayquaza staggered, a look of pain on his face.

Seeing this, Higana's heart was pounding so hard she could barely breathe, and she shouted, "Now!!!"

Of course I know!

Even if she didn't say it, Xia You realized that now was the best opportunity to capture Rayquaza!

He took out the high-grade ball he had prepared beforehand and threw it forcefully into the sky!

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the Ultra Ball spun upwards for more than ten meters. As the Ultra Ball opened, a red light instantly enveloped the black Rayquaza, pulling it into the Ultra Ball.

At that moment, Xia You was extremely nervous.

Even after catching so many legendary Pokémon, it's still hard to remain calm when facing Rayquaza, a Pokémon that stands at the top of the food chain.

Not to mention that this is a black Rayquaza, the shiny Pokémon he has been dreaming of day and night!

After inserting the black Rayquaza into its body, the Ultra Ball fell from the sky and landed on the Dragon Altar.

pat.

It hit the ground with a soft thud, rolled a few times, and after it stopped, the high-level ball began to shake violently. It was obvious that the black Rayquaza inside was making its last struggle!

However, such an attempt was clearly futile.

Not to mention that it was injured to some extent in the battle just now, even if it could escape from the ball, it would only face the attack of Deoxys and Xia You's second high-level ball.

Its fate was sealed!

It must be said that, as the most expensive Poké Ball, the Ultra Ball, like the regular and Great Balls, has always been criticized for its low success rate in catching Pokémon. However, this is mainly due to the user's own shortcomings and a certain element of luck. The success rate is still quite reliable.

For example, right now—

After the initial few violent shakings, the amplitude of the high-grade ball's shaking decreased significantly, and it tended to shake less and less.

Everything seems to indicate that success is truly on the horizon!

Xia You herself was fine, her eyes just lit up, but Xiao Xia had already clenched her fists, wishing she could exert herself along with the advanced ball!

"Go for it!!!"

She admitted that she was inexperienced and somewhat ignorant. She didn't know about the past, but at least in this era, she had never heard of anyone having captured Rayquaza!

This isn't just any ordinary Pokémon; it's Rayquaza, the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region!!

Could it be that Xia You will really be the first to accomplish such a feat?!

And I will become a witness to history!?

Amidst the anticipation of the two and the complex gaze of Higana, after only a few seconds of shaking, the light on the Advanced Ball finally dimmed with a soft 'bang'.

"Great!" Seeing that the taming was successful and everything was settled, Xiaoxia was the first to shout!

She excitedly approached Xia You, jumped high into the air, and wrapped her arms around his head.

Xia You immediately felt the softness of a lotus bud just beginning to emerge.

He forcibly pulled his face away, and once he could breathe again, he turned his head and saw the advanced ball lying there quietly, and couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't expect that one ball would solve the problem.

There's definitely a reason why it's expensive!

Thinking back to my past self, I would swarm around Zapdos to fight, but now, I can defeat Rayquaza in a one-on-one battle!

Rayquaza!

The thought of successfully capturing Rayquaza filled him with excitement!

This is something that can only be accomplished in a game, but I never expected that he would actually achieve it in real life!

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm herself down, Xia You broke free from Xiaoxia's hands and walked towards the advanced ball.

Higana stood to the side, watching Xia You slowly approach the Ultra Ball, pick it up again, clench her fists tightly, then loosen them...

The battle she had just witnessed showed her what a top-tier Pokémon truly looked like.

That was a completely different level from ordinary Pokémon, and a level that she could never reach!

If it were me in that battle, trying to capture that monster, even if I sent out all my Pokémon, the outcome would still be uncertain.

But this man before them had actually defeated it in a one-on-one fight…

monster!

Both humans and Pokémon!

At this moment, Xia You naturally had no idea what Xijiana was thinking. The instant he held the high-level ball in his hand, his mood miraculously calmed down.

And he didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but he suddenly felt that the high-level ball in his hand had become heavier, and he could even feel the powerful primal life force of the black Rayquaza inside!

Instead of releasing Rayquaza a second time, he directly put the Ultra Ball back into his pouch.

At the same time that Rayquaza was collected into a High Ball, the Meteorite Keystone on Xia You's body also returned to normal.

This gave Xia You a bold idea, but the specific implementation would have to wait until another opportunity arose...

Footsteps sounded from the side, and then Higana walked over.

"The guardian Rayquaza has chosen you, and you have successfully captured it. Congratulations."

The shooting star in the night sky had long since disappeared. Through the surrounding green flames and moonlight, Xia You looked at the girl in front of him. Her face was calm, and he could not tell any emotion at all.

"Thank you." Xia You nodded to her and asked, "Didn't you have something you wanted to say to me before the battle? You can say it now."

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Higana glanced at Xia You’s fanny pack, seemingly trying to see Rayquaza through the surface, but unfortunately, she was destined to see nothing. “I just wanted to tell you some of the weaknesses I know about Rayquaza, but obviously, you don’t need it at all.”

What are Rayquaza's weaknesses?

Xia You was slightly taken aback, but then shook her head.

These Meteor Dwellers may know some of Rayquaza's structural weaknesses, but Rayquaza's biggest vulnerability is simply its four times weakness to ice.

He guessed that this was what Higanbana wanted to remind him of, which was understandable, since most people lacked sufficient knowledge about Rayquaza, and didn't even know what its type was, so they couldn't arrange their troops to exploit its type weaknesses.

Looking at it this way, this woman wasn't as stubborn as she had seemed before. Knowing that there was no hope of winning him over, she didn't intend to hold back, but instead put aside past grievances and chose to help him.

This greatly changed Xia You's impression of Xijiana.

Although she couldn't say it in the end because of my intervention, I still have to accept her kindness.

Moreover, if you think about it, the Meteor Dwellers are actually quite tragic. They have been carrying on a tradition for thousands of years, but they still haven't been able to achieve it. How many people have left this world with immense regrets?

“I understand how you feel.” After thinking for a moment, Xia You said, “Sigh, there’s nothing I can do. I’m in a good mood today. Listen carefully, the deal I mentioned before is still valid. When it’s convenient for me, I will try my best to help you capture a Rayquaza to fulfill your clan’s wish that has lasted for thousands of years.”

Xijiana never expected Xia You to say that!

Her eyes widened as she stared at Xia You in disbelief. After a long while, she asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Didn't I just say that? I'm in a good mood today, and you didn't cause any trouble, so I'm quite satisfied." At this point, Xia You changed the subject, "But maybe you don't need my help anymore? Didn't you just do it? You successfully summoned Rayquaza on your own without the Rainbow Meteorite."

Higana glanced at the few dull keystones scattered on the ground and sighed.

"It's not that easy. These key stones aren't ordinary key stones. They're special key stones that our people have collected over many years, confirmed to react to Rayquaza. You could say that each one took a lot of effort, but now they've run out of energy and become useless. And it's proven that even if sacrificing these key stones can indeed summon Rayquaza, that's all. It won't choose you..."

"If you ask me, it's because you people are too rigid," Xia You snorted. "What does 'selected' mean? As long as you defeat it with your strength, throwing a Poké Ball at it is enough! That's what 'selected' means, and it means you selected it!"
