I caught a Pokémon

what happened?

How come the man was unharmed, but my Dream Song Cactus was knocked away?

Upon closer inspection, what emerged from the shadows was... a Gengar!?

He was completely dumbfounded, not understanding why a Gengar would suddenly appear and hide in the man's shadow!

"Hehehehe..." Gengar lowered his arm, burst into laughter, and looked at Harry with a mocking expression, saying disdainfully, "I've already seen your cunning, it's really too low-level, and using this trick in front of me, tsk tsk tsk, you're still too green!!"

Harry was even more shocked to hear it speak.

What did he see?

A talking Gengar!?

There are Pokémon in the world that can speak human language?!

After being stunned for a while, he finally came to his senses and hurriedly went to check on his Dream Song Cactus.

This discovery revealed that the Dream Song Cactus had been blasted dozens of meters by the black energy, eventually crashing into a wall. As it shattered the wall, it fell into a coma!

This instantly soaked Harry's back with sweat!

You know your own Pokémon best, of course.

As his strongest and most trusted Pokémon, how could he not be terrified when it was defeated in a single blow after ambushing someone else?!

This shows that the difference between the two Pokémon is at least two levels!

But is that even possible?

He would rather believe that Gengar had just happened to hit Cactus in a vital spot, causing the damage, than believe that Gengar was that strong!

This is simply illogical!

Seeing this, Ash and his friends were relieved.

"You scared me..." Ash breathed a sigh of relief, then belatedly realized, "I had forgotten that Gengar was there. With it protecting Xia You, no one can hurt him!"

As the protagonist of the incident, Xia You, who was attacked, only paused slightly, turned around and saw the miserable state of the Dream Song Cactus, and glanced at Harry whose expression was constantly changing. She just shook her head and didn't say anything, but continued to walk towards the battlefield.

Because they knew who Harry was, they were not at all surprised by his sneak attack.

Even knowing he would probably do that, there was no extra precaution.

After all, even if Harry had a few more Pokémon, he wouldn't be able to harm Gengar under its nose.

However, this silent mockery only fueled Harry's anger, but despite his anger, his mind cleared up a little.

There's nothing I can do if he's not sober. After all, even his strongest Dream Song Cactus was defeated in one blow. What am I supposed to do against him?

Watching Xia You's departing figure, Harry's eyes darted around as he quickly considered his options. His failed sneak attack had indeed put him in an embarrassing predicament, a situation he had created himself. Now that Ash and May had followed him out, those underhanded tactics were no longer an option.

But what should we do?

With Xia You in front and Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yao behind, it was impossible for Harry to leave quietly without making a sound. He could only arrive at the open-air battlefield not far away with suspicion in his heart.

Xia You didn't bother to say anything more to Harry and walked directly to one side of the trainer command area.

I'm standing right here now, let's see if Harry dares to take the challenge!

Compared to before, Harry's feelings were undoubtedly more complicated now.

On one hand, he wanted to teach this man a lesson, but on the other hand, he was suspicious of Gengar's behavior.

But no matter what, since he had already come this far, he couldn't back down. He gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and stood opposite Xia You.

With her hands in her pockets and her eyes half-open, Xia You said calmly, "Come on, whether it's one-on-one or a fight to the very end, let me see what you're capable of now."

Harry felt a surge of blood rushing to his head.

It must be admitted that this man's casual remark always manages to hit a nerve.

Hmph, no wonder I found him so annoying the first time I saw him!

Given the circumstances, even though he was unsure of himself, Harry had no choice but to grit his teeth and give it a try.

Even so, he refused to admit defeat, snorting, "How arrogant! I should be the one saying that. I'd like to see if your skills are as impressive as your mouth!"

He paused for a moment, then held up five fingers to Xia You.

"Since we're going to fight, let's have a five-on-five battle. But I'll make it clear first, in these five battles, regardless of who wins or loses, you can only send out different Pokémon. When the battle ends, whoever has more wins will be the winner!"

As expected of a cunning trainer who often uses dirty tricks to scheme against others.

Harry's mind does work very quickly.

Although the story of Tian Ji's horse race doesn't exist in this world, after thinking for a long time, he actually came up with a similar idea!

Regardless of whether that Gengar was truly powerful or just happened to hit the Squirrel's weak point, it's certain that it was very strong.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this man's strongest Pokémon.

All I can do is avoid Gengar's strength, use the weakest Pokémon against it, intentionally lose that battle, and block Gengar's chance to be used. Then I can use other Pokémon to try and win other battles.

In this way, although you will lose this battle against Gengar, you will definitely win in terms of the total number of wins!

It has to be said that Harry's little scheme was indeed quite elaborate.

However, there is one prerequisite for doing this: his other Pokémon must be stronger than Xia You's Pokémon!

Because of his lack of understanding of Xia You, Harry was unaware of his true abilities, and Xiao Zhi and the others obviously wouldn't kindly remind him.

Amidst this information gap, Harry confidently took out his first Poké Ball.

However, this guy was indeed cunning. Although he didn't ask anyone to release their Pokémon first, he just kept holding the Poké Ball, neither releasing his own Pokémon nor saying anything. He was obviously waiting for Xia You to make the first move.

Xia You saw right through his little scheme.

He shook his head helplessly, too lazy to bother with such matters, and instead took out a Poké Ball from his waist pouch and released his Pokémon.

Just like he said, he's not afraid of any number of opponents!

His confidence stems from the power of Pokémon!

Therefore, no matter how many schemes and tricks Harry uses, they are ultimately futile in the face of absolute power.

"Go, Xia You!!"

"Go, Mr. Xia You!"

The cheers around him made Harry's face turn even worse, but he was in no mood to care about that now. Under his gaze, he saw Xia You open the Poké Ball, and with a flash of blue light, an Eevee appeared in front of him.

Seeing this Eevee, Harry couldn't help but smile.

What kind of Pokémon is Eevee?

This is an extremely common Pokémon that you have a high chance of encountering in the wild, not to mention that it is still in this stage and has not yet evolved into other forms.

In Harry's eyes, this was the epitome of weakness. Throughout his travels, he had never seen an Eevee that impressed him.

This further convinced him that the talking Gengar must be this man's most powerful Pokémon!

That makes things much easier!

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and threw out his Poké Ball.

The next second, Xia You and the others also saw clearly that Harry's Pokémon was a Jigglypuff.

As the evolved form of Jigglypuff, Wigglypuff is exactly twice the size of Jigglypuff and its strength has also been greatly improved. Although it is no longer round and chubby, it is still very cute. The surface of its round big eyes is always covered with a thin tear film, and it has pink and white fur, short hands and feet, and long ears. It looks like a harmless animal.

But don't underestimate it. As a Normal and Fairy type Pokémon, it may have a delicate and cute appearance, but once it unleashes its power, it will definitely surprise you.

Of course, this applies to those who don't know it. Someone like Xia You, who knows Puffy Cat very well, wouldn't be complacent even if he didn't.

Compared to other Fat Koddish, Harry's Fat Koddish gives off a sinister vibe, with a fierce look in its eyes and expression.

It can only be said that the type of trainer determines the type of Pokémon.

The two Pokémon slowly walked toward their respective halves of the preparation area.

This time, in front of so many people, Harry didn't resort to any more underhanded tricks. In fact, after seeing this lineup, he already foresaw that he would win this battle.

After all, no matter how you look at it, an evolved Jigglypuff will win against an unevolved Eevee!

Great! If we win the first game, then the advantage is in our hands!

Since there was no referee, once the two Pokémon were ready, they charged at each other without anyone giving the order to start.

However, to Harry's surprise, when the two Pokémon battled, he discovered that something was wrong, and very wrong!

It looks ordinary, no different from other Eevee encountered in the wild, so why is it so troublesome?

Neither Fatdog's crushing blow nor his series of slaps could hit the opponent!

Instead, under Ibrahimovic's impact and Quick Attack, Jigglypuff was forced to retreat and soon became breathless.

This both surprised and terrified Harry.

What surprised him was that this Eevee had such strength; he had really underestimated it. What frightened him was that he knew things were not going well. The development of the first battle was completely beyond his expectations, and if things continued like this, it seemed that he would be the one to lose!

"Puzzle! What are you doing?!" Realizing this, he couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Stop playing around and start singing!"

Singing is not a way to cheer on the opponent. Although the name is easy to misunderstand, it is a real hypnotic skill. Once it is successfully used, the situation on the battlefield may be reversed instantly!

Upon hearing Harry's command, Fat Koopady knew the situation was dire. It swung its paws sharply, forcing Eevee back, and then leaped backward to a safe distance, opening its mouth as if to sing.

But as soon as it opened its mouth, a cloud of sand rushed in. The sand not only entered its mouth, interrupting its song that had not yet begun, but also squinted at Fat Cat's eyes!

All I can say is that Harry was far too naive to think he could so easily use hypnosis on Xia You.

After Eevee interrupted Jigglypuff's attack with Sand Smash, Xia You ordered Eevee to finish it off with a powerful Tackle while Jigglypuff was distracted.

Fat Kodin rolled his eyes, and his already not-so-round body was bumped into Harry's feet.

Harry stared, mouth agape, eyes bulging, stunned for a long time, unable to believe the outcome.

"I...I actually lost!?"

What seemed like a sure-win situation to him turned into a disadvantage from the very beginning, and in the end, he lost the battle so quickly and without any resistance. How could he accept that?

Seeing his appearance, Ash and the others watching from the sidelines exchanged glances.

“Um…” Xiao Sheng hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked the people around him, “Does Harry know who he’s facing?”

"They probably don't know," Xiao Zhi scratched his head. "Anyway, I never said anything."

“I didn’t say that either.” Xiao Gang shook his head as well.

Xiaoyao also shook her head: "I didn't mention it either."

“So…” Xiaosheng pushed up his glasses, which reflected a strange light, and said excitedly, “He probably just thought of Mr. Xia You as an ordinary trainer?”

“That should be the case,” Ash asked. “So? Should we tell him?”

"What's there to tell?" Xiaoxia snorted, rejecting the idea outright. "Since this Harry is so confident in himself, I'd like to see how he feels after these five battles!"

Coordinating trainers to battle Pokémon trainers is inherently disadvantageous because combat is not their specialty. Not to mention, Harry is facing a man on the Pokémon Tournament stage who can make other contestants feel depressed!

They were initially dissatisfied with Harry's previous actions and the recent entanglement.

But looking at it now...

They were so badly beaten that they didn't even have a chance to fight back. The only word to describe it is "miserable"!

Chapter 756 A Disheveled Escape

Harry opened his mouth as if to say something, but then fell silent and ultimately made no sound.

He thought that perhaps this man, like himself, had also put his stronger Pokémon at the front, hoping to take the lead by surprise.

If that's really the case, then all I can say is that this man is truly insidious!

Reminding himself that he should calm down, especially in times like these, Harry took a deep breath, recalled the Wigglytuff, and took out a second Poké Ball.

"You've got some nerve." At the same time, he couldn't resist making sarcastic remarks, "Using this method, very well, I did lose the first round, but you won't be so lucky next time!"

Xia You was completely baffled by these words.

What methods can I come up with?

After Feebas, Beldum, and Torchic all evolved, Eevee is now indeed the weakest of all the Pokémon it carries.

If Harry can't even beat it, shouldn't he look for the problem within himself?

Why are you blaming me instead?
