I caught a Pokémon

"I haven't decided yet," Xia You shook her head. "But it'll most likely be the battle factory near Mount Tsukimi. What's wrong?"

"Oh?" Ashida's eyes lit up, and she laughed, "What a coincidence! I was just heading in that direction. So, I'll get to see your fighting prowess again!"

It's surprising that Ashida is such a warmonger, so fond of Pokémon battles. But it's understandable; without this passion, how could he have established such a large battle zone?

"See you then."

See you next time!

After saying goodbye to Ashida and watching his sports car disappear from sight, Xia You and the others turned around and entered the Pokémon Center behind them.

Although he really wanted to get to Golden City before dark, he had Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao with him, and he couldn't ignore their physical strength and feelings, so he could only stay here for the night and set off early the next morning.

After checking in and putting away their luggage, the four of them met at the restaurant about ten minutes later and ordered dinner together.

At that moment, Xia You and Xiao Xia also turned their attention to Cai Dou.

"Miss Cai Dou, where are you planning to go next?" Xiaoxia asked.

In fact, everyone can see that Bea is only interested in Fighting-type gyms. You could say that wherever there is a Fighting-type gym or a famous Fighting-type trainer, you'll find her there. After the challenge, she'll go to other places to continue her challenge.

After glancing at Xia You, Cai Dou said, "I heard that Shiba, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, is near Mt. Silver. I plan to challenge him."

"Shiba?" Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise, "You're going to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings!?"

Not only Xia You looked at Cai Dou in surprise, but Xiao Yao also perked up her ears in astonishment.

Although she didn't know who the four elite kings of the Kanto region were, she figured their strength was about the same as that of the Hoenn region.

And this beautiful woman in front of me actually dared to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings, she's really amazing!

However, recalling what I saw of Bea's performance in the battle at the Colosseum, I know she is very strong and is an official gym leader. So, it seems like there's no problem, right?

"Have you thought it through?" Xia You asked. "Although I don't know much about Shiba and haven't met him yet, I know he's very strong. You need to be mentally prepared before you go back."

It wasn't that Xia You didn't think highly of Cai Dou, nor was she trying to discourage her. It was just that Shiba was not weak even among all the Elite Four, and was even called a humanoid Pokémon. If she didn't make enough preparations or wasn't strong enough, she would easily be defeated if she challenged him rashly.

Cai Dou nodded: "I will do my best."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Xia You and Xiao Xia told her what they knew about Shiba, which indirectly helped Cai Dou to understand the Four Heavenly Kings she had never met.

However, their knowledge was very limited, mostly based on hearsay, so the help they provided was very limited.

Fortunately, Xia You remembered which Pokémon were Shiba's strongest, so she reminded Cai Dou and also did some analysis.

Seeing Xia You helping her so much, Cai Dou stared at him for a long time before silently looking away.

Just then, Chansey pushed a cart and brought over their dinner.

Once the food was set on the table, Xia You glanced at it and realized that, besides herself and Xiaoxia, Cai Dou and Xiao Yao had so many desserts in their food!

Xiaoyao loves food; she likes anything delicious, while Caidou simply loves desserts.

It can only be said that the two really do have something in common in this respect.

……

After resting overnight at the Pokémon Center, Xia You and her two friends parted ways with Cai Dou early the next morning.

Reaching out her hand to Cai Dou, Xia You smiled and said, "Next, you'll be heading to Silver Mountain. Most of it is located in the city. Once you go, we really don't know when we'll see each other again. I wish you success in your challenge!"

Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Good luck, Miss Caidou! We're waiting for your good news!"

Cai Dou looked at Xia You's hand, then reached out and shook his hand, nodding and saying, "Thank you."

With that, she slung her shoulder bag over her shoulder, leaving the group with a dashing silhouette, and took firm steps toward the west.

After she walked away, looking at her lonely figure, Xiaoxia sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the voice, Xia You turned her head and looked at her in confusion.

"Miss Cai Dou is really amazing," Xiaoxia exclaimed. "She travels and exercises all over the world all by herself. I couldn't do that."

“This is also part of her training.” Xia You shook her head, turned around, and looked at Cai Dou’s figure gradually disappearing into the distance. “But birds always return to their nests. Her home is in Galar, and she is the Gym Leader of the Galar region. She will definitely go back there often. Perhaps for her, in addition to being the Gym Leader, this kind of travel is also a way to relax.”

After parting ways with Cai Dou, Xia You was finally able to head towards Golden City.

Along the way, he became taciturn, only hearing the voices of Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao, but he rarely spoke.

As they got closer, their steps became even lighter.

They are truly eager to go home.

Fortunately, the distance wasn't too far, and by noon, the group had arrived at the outskirts of Golden City.

Golden Dojo.

At this moment, a dojo challenge is about to be held inside the dojo.

This time, the challenger is a rookie trainer who has set off from Cerulean City to collect badges, and his opponent, needless to say, is none other than Sabrina, the so-called psychic beauty!

The players were already waiting on the battlefield, and Naz, accompanied by her father, was walking towards the battlefield through a long passage.

Just then, Naz suddenly sensed something and abruptly stopped in her tracks.

"Huh?" Her father looked at her in surprise and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Naz turned to look south, and her father followed her gaze, but there were only walls there, nothing unusual.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Naz turn around and walk towards the exit without saying a word. Seeing this, her father was naturally very surprised and couldn't help but call out, "Naz! Where are you going? The challenger is still waiting for you!"

Kona didn't even turn her head, nor did she intend to explain anything; she just kept walking towards the door.

Seeing this, her father was at a loss. He couldn't control her or stop her from calling him, so he could only sigh helplessly, take out his Poké Ball, and walk alone to the battlefield.

She was just wondering what had happened that made Sabrina suddenly stop caring about the gym battles.

This isn't like her at all!

And...it seems like something similar happened before?

When Xia You stepped into the Goldenrod Gym alone, looking at the Pokémon League sign above his head, he felt excited, complicated, and uneasy.

How is Naz now?

Has your feeling for yourself changed?

Will she still act the same way after she sees me?

Just as she was thinking this, she looked up and saw the gates of the Goldenrod Gym open, with Sabrina standing on the steps, smiling at her.

The moment their eyes met, Xia You's heart suddenly calmed down.

At that moment, they only had each other in their eyes.

He had just raised his hand when, in the next second, Naz's figure disappeared on the steps. Before Xia You could even realize what was happening, a warm, fragrant, soft body had already thrown herself into his arms.

Her long, black hair fluttered and brushed against Xia You's face.

Xia You held the woman in his arms tightly, just as she held him tightly.

"Naza, I'm here..."

Xia You's voice was soft, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was kissed by Na Zi.

Faced with her proactive advances, Xia You responded with her own enthusiasm.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Nazi pulled her head back, and Xia You finally took a good look at the woman in front of him.

She still had her long, flowing black hair, her eyebrows and eyes were the same, and her temperament remained unchanged. Nothing had changed; she was still the same person.

As the passion subsided, reason returned to his mind.

The Goldenrod Gym is located near a street, where not only pedestrians come and go, but also trainers come to challenge the Goldenrod Gym from time to time. Before attracting people's attention, Xia You patted Sabrina on the back and whispered, "Alright, let's go in first. If we stay any longer, we'll be on today's headlines."

Whether or not someone would see it, Nazi didn't care at all, but since Xia You had spoken up, she naturally had no objections.

Led by Sabrina, the two entered the Goldenrod Gym, and at Xia You's strong urging, they went straight to Sabrina's room.

His longing was about to overflow, so naturally he needed to release it in another way.

Since Nazi was his woman, he could think and act without any scruples.

……

In the battleground of the Goldenrod Gym, Sabrina's father finally defeated the rookie trainer who came to challenge him after three difficult battles.

After offering him some words of encouragement, I watched the trainer leave dejectedly. Shaking his head, I walked out of the arena and back to the gym's core area.

Having not fought for a long time, he was a bit rusty, but he managed to defend the gym badge without any major incident.

only……

Kids these days are really getting more and more amazing; I almost got beaten by him...

He sighed, glanced at the time on his watch, and couldn't help but frown.

What exactly did Naza go about?

Why haven't they come back yet?

Feeling somewhat worried, he went to the dojo gate and looked outside, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't find Sabrina's shadow.

Just then, a few apprentices who were learning superpowers at the dojo walked in from outside, and he reached out and stopped them.

Have you seen Naz?

"Eh? Isn't Miss Sabrina at the dojo?" Faced with Sabrina's father's question, the apprentices shook their heads. "We're so sorry, we didn't see Miss Sabrina on our way back. Could she have already gone back to the dojo?"

“Impossible. If she were back at the gym, she would definitely be at the battle arena. But she hasn’t shown up. Something must have been holding her up.” Sabrina’s father sighed first, then said, “Well, since the gym leader isn’t here, it seems we can’t accept any trainers’ challenges today. Put up the ‘Closed’ sign, and the gym will be closed for the day.”

After giving instructions to his apprentices, Natsumi's father didn't pay any attention and left the dojo with his hands behind his back.

Unlike Naz, Naz's father does not live in the dojo, but in a house not far away. Although he and Naz are father and daughter, and their relationship has recently improved, they have long since separated and do not live together.

As for him, since Naz was not around, he was finding it increasingly difficult to deal with the increasingly strong newcomers, so he simply took a day off and decided to wait until Naz returned before things returned to normal.

With his hands behind his back, he descended the steps and walked towards the street.

He had only taken a few steps, and hadn't even left the dojo area, when he faintly heard a woman's panting. The sound was intermittent, and it seemed to be coming from the window of Naz's bedroom, which made him chuckle.

Look what I just heard!

Honestly, it seems like it's been so long since he's fought that he's even hallucinating from exhaustion...

Naza has already left the house, how could there possibly be a woman's voice here? And such a voice at that!

He shook his head, not taking it to heart. Instead, he hummed a little tune, glanced at the bright weather, and walked away.

Chapter 799 Gengar: Just kidding

A battle is slowly unfolding inside the Goldenrod Gym.

However, the battle did not take place on the battlefield, but in Sabrina's room.

In this battle, Xia You displayed extraordinary prowess, easily defeating Nazi after just over an hour, leaving her utterly defeated and forced to beg for mercy.

It has to be said that the two have already exchanged three blows in such a short time, with only a few minutes of rest in between, which shows how intense the battle was!

By the end, Sabrina was so overheated that she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

It seems that not only are Xia You's Pokémon powerful, but he himself also performs exceptionally well in battles, which is truly remarkable.

Lying in bed, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling above her, Xia You stretched and could only sigh.

Indeed, youth is the greatest asset...

They really do have endless energy!

He pulled the exhausted Nazi into his arms, inhaling the fragrance of her hair, and felt utterly content.

At this moment, I enter a state of sagehood, and all that longing and passion has vanished.

However, he also had some concerns. He had been too passionate just now and completely forgot to ask Naz if she was in her safe period. He also hadn't prepared a bulletproof vest in advance. But after glancing at Naz, who was lying quietly beside him like a well-behaved cat, Xia You didn't want to spoil the mood and asked her a question.

Never mind, I'll ask again later.

Even if something happens, so what?

He had already decided on Naz, and Naz had also decided on him, though it was still a bit too early for them at their age.

The most important thing now is to enjoy this lingering warmth and comfort.
