I caught a Pokémon

But that's already pretty impressive.

Faced with Pokémon of this caliber, who else could do what Mewtwo did?

After glancing at the time, Xia You realized it was almost time and suddenly took out a Great Ball to recall her two Pokémon.

This was indeed unexpected for Mewtwo. It was in the middle of a fierce battle, but suddenly there was no opponent in front of it, and it subconsciously froze on the spot.

'Why?'

It looked at the man in the distance with a puzzled expression. If it had just continued fighting, the man might have been able to subdue it this time. So why did it stop at this moment?

What is he thinking?

In fact, if someone who had also traveled from Earth saw this scene, they would definitely give Xia You a thumbs up.

All I can say is that this tactic of feigning indifference to lure the enemy is truly brilliant!

Who would have thought that he would even resort to military strategy in order to capture a Pokémon!

Does Xia You want to capture Mewtwo?

This goes without saying, since it was one of his favorite Pokémon before he transmigrated.

But he didn't just want to get Mewtwo's body; he wanted it to truly recognize him as its master.

This is because when facing a Pokémon with this level of intelligence, simply capturing it and trying to restrain it with a Poké Ball is basically ineffective. You must make it truly accept you in order to command it as easily as you would other Pokémon.

This is why Xia Youhui went to such great lengths to "visit the thatched cottage three times" and then "play hard to get"!

Mewtwo was unaware of all this. From its perspective, it only felt that the man in front of it was becoming stronger and more mysterious.

However, it has also increasingly come to regard him as an equal to itself.

"There's no why." Faced with its confusion, Xia You smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that I only came here to spar with you? Now that I've achieved my goal, it's natural to stop."

An interesting guy.

Upon hearing Xia You's answer, a strange light flashed in Mewtwo's eyes, and he held this man in even higher regard.

At this moment, Xia You also said to Chao Meng, "Actually, I came to ask you for help with something this time."

Perhaps it was the recent events that greatly changed Mewtwo's impression of Xia You. When it heard that Xia You had come to it for help, its first thought wasn't to refuse, but rather to ask curiously, "You've come to ask for my help? With the strength of your two Pokémon, what can't you do?"

Mewtwo is not wrong.

In this world, the strength of Pokémon also means the strength of their trainers, and a powerful person often obtains a high social status, and naturally, money, power, and beauty will also come easily to them.

With Xia You's current strength, he would receive the highest level of reception no matter which organization or government he went to. What could possibly be difficult for him?

However, being a being with extremely high intelligence, it understood something in just the next second.

"You want me to help you deal with some troublesome Pokémon, right?"

"Yes and no." Xia You smiled mysteriously. "Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing for you."

'If that's the case, then your own Pokémon, like those two from before, shouldn't you be able to easily take them down too?'

Waving his hand, Xia You said, "This involves some personal privacy issues. Although my two Pokémon are very strong, they are, after all, my trump cards. They are not suitable to show themselves on certain occasions, which is why I need to rely on your help."

After saying that, he didn't care whether Mewtwo agreed or not, he patted Dragonite's shoulder and let it carry him away, leaving Mewtwo with only its back view.

At the same time, his last words reached Mewtwo's ears.

"Wait for my news, that day will come soon!"

……

As evening fell, with Xiaoxia eagerly awaiting its arrival, Dragonite carried Xia You back to the Pokémon Center where he was staying.

When Xia You returned, Xiao Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

She wasn't worried about Xia You getting into any danger, and she knew that there were very few Pokémon in the world that could hurt him. What she was worried about was that Xia You might be delayed by something and not be able to come back in time, thus missing tomorrow's competition!

"Xia You, where did you go?"

"Nothing much, just wandered around the neighborhood." Xia You didn't reveal everything about going to see Mewtwo, but changed the subject, looking at Xiaoyao, "How's your practice going?"

May smiled and said, "The basic performance framework has been finalized, and only some details are missing. However, since I'm in Kanto, I'd like to catch some of the Pokémon here."

Speaking of Pokémon in Kanto...

Xia You couldn't help but recall the few Pokémon that Xiaoyao obtained here in the anime. It seemed that if she wanted Xiaoyao to obtain them again according to the original plan, she would have to go to Oak's lab first.

Fortunately, it's on the way there, so it won't change the planned itinerary.

At this moment, Xiaoxia asked, "By the way, Xia You, when you were wandering around nearby just now, did you know what happened in Hualan City?"

"Hua Lan City?" Xia You was taken aback. "What happened there?"

"The news just reported that extreme weather occurred near Cerulean City, and it seems some Pokémon are battling there!"

I thought something had happened in Cerulean City. Turns out, it was just because of my battle with Mewtwo.

I can't believe it's made the news.

However, this also shows their foresight. If they had fought near Cerulean Cave, which is so close to Cerulean City, it would have attracted a large number of trainers. It was precisely because they were far away that no one was able to disturb them in the end.

"Who knows? Maybe some legendary Pokémon has appeared."

Since Xiaoxia's memories were erased by Mewtwo and she doesn't remember Mewtwo's existence, Xia You doesn't need to point it out until they actually meet.

Led by Xia You, Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao naturally focused their attention on legendary Pokémon, chattering away and speculating about what other Pokémon might appear in Kanto besides the three legendary birds. However, they hadn't been talking for long when Xiaoxia seemed to remember something and quickly said to Xia You, "By the way, Xia You, you don't know yet, do you? The whole of Kanto already knows about your battle with Shining tomorrow!"

Chapter 804 You Perform Your Own Act (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Huh?" Xia You was taken aback. "The whole sect knows? What does that mean?"

Xiaoxia took out her phone, waved it in front of Xia You, and told him the information she had gathered during the day.

"I don't know what's going on, but all afternoon the TV news and radio have been filled with news about your battle with Shi Nan tomorrow. My phone keeps pushing notifications, and in just half a day, I've already seen hundreds of them!"

Although Xiaoxia didn't understand, Xia You knew exactly what was going on as soon as she heard it.

Several hundred messages?

Someone is buying data traffic?

It's obvious that Shi Nan saw him coming to challenge him and coveted his title, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation and boost his reputation!

Their ambitions are quite impressive...

It's just an ordinary challenge, but they insist on making it known to everyone so they can use it for hype, as if not taking advantage of this opportunity would mean losing millions, without even asking if they agree to it.

It can only be said that there are such people in every world.

Of course, it's also possible that Xia You is overthinking things, and that Shi Nan didn't do it. But that possibility is very, very low. After all, no matter how you look at it, Shi Nan would be the biggest beneficiary of this battle, and no one else would have any reason to do it.

However, this is a double-edged sword. Can Shi Nan really be sure he can handle this influx of traffic?

Xia You had a vague idea of ​​what Shi Nan was thinking. For Shi Nan, whether he won or lost tomorrow's battle, he would definitely receive more attention because of this.

Of course, it's impossible for him to win.

Now that such a thing has happened, Xia You himself cannot possibly lose the game under the watchful eyes of everyone. He will fight with all his might. As long as he performs steadily, let alone a pioneering brain, even the Four Heavenly Kings will not be able to take a single point from him.

It's likely that Shi Nan thought the same way. Although he would try his best to defeat himself, he had obviously made a second choice.

So, there's only one outcome for him—to lose the game gracefully and gain a lot of popularity from the viewership!

If Shi Nan had consulted with her beforehand, Xia You would have been willing to do her a favor, as it would have allowed her to train her Pokémon, earn badges, and also benefit Shi Nan.

After all, even if we can't be friends, at least we won't become enemies.

but now……

hum.

Xia You had already made up his mind. He wanted to take this opportunity to let people know that no one would dare to use him like this!

……

After resting overnight, Xia You and the other two had breakfast the next morning and then left the Pokémon Center, heading towards the Battle Dome.

Last night, after returning to the dormitory, not only Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao, but even he himself found a lot of news about today's match while scrolling through his phone before going to bed.

These messages reveal that an invisible hand is manipulating everything, shaping Shi Nan into someone who can rival him.

Many unsuspecting people genuinely believed this would be a Pokémon extravaganza, and showed great interest and attention to it.

Some people who lived nearby even bought tickets overnight to come and watch the game live!

Not only them, but also more than a dozen TV stations came and set up equipment, intending to broadcast this battle simultaneously throughout the entire Kanto region!

Such hype naturally reached the ears of Xia You's friends.

Just last night, he received many calls from people asking about this matter. Even Lijia learned from these messages that Xia You had actually returned to Guandu!

This surprised her greatly, but she also complained that Xia You hadn't given her any information.

Xia You really has a hard time explaining herself.

He originally intended to surprise Lijia by suddenly arriving at Yuhong, but now that Shi Nan had publicized it, he was in a very passive position.

This made Xia You even more dissatisfied with Shi Nan.

It can be said that Xia You's plans were completely disrupted because of that person's self-righteousness!

When he arrived at the battle arena, he could see countless spectators queuing up from a distance. The line stretched for nearly a kilometer, showing just how much people were looking forward to the battle!

Among the crowd were many fans holding banners supporting Seoknam. These fans were mostly young women who chatted and laughed while queuing, waving Seoknam support items, clearly having high expectations for Seoknam.

This also shows how well Shinan manages fan culture!

Pulling his hat down low, Xia You was about to walk past the line when his phone rang.

When he finally got through, he discovered that it was a staff member from the Battle Arena.

It has to be said that probably no one wants the competition to go smoothly more than the people on Shinan's side today!

The appointment was clearly made at 9 a.m., but it's not even 8 a.m. yet, and they've already called to urge us.

The phone call was simple; it just wanted to know where he was and that he absolutely had to participate in the competition.

After hanging up the phone, Xia You sighed helplessly.

He was increasingly frustrated with Shi Nan and his ilk; their boundless behavior was suffocating.

The only good news was that a large number of his supporters were also in the queue to enter the venue.

After all, he was the undisputed champion of the Indigo League, having fought his way through countless battles and demonstrated his exceptional strength under the spotlight!

Although some time has passed, people still remember his performance vividly. The number of fans who were captivated by his wonderful performance or handsome appearance is also huge, and as they gather more and more, they are even showing a trend of overshadowing Shinan's fans!

It can be said that although many passersby may be interested in this battle, most of them will only watch the game through broadcasts and the internet. The audience who can travel hundreds or thousands of miles away from the city to watch the game live are only Shi Nan's fans and Xia You's true fans.

Xia You has never cultivated a fan culture, nor has he ever even bothered to learn about it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have one!

Following the staff's instructions, Xia You led Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao through a side door, avoiding the audience, and directly entered the players' lounge at the battle arena.

Here, he will wait until the match begins, which can be considered a final adjustment before the battle starts.

Upon entering the lounge, Xiaoxia curiously looked around.

It has to be said that the infrastructure of the Battle Dome is really good and complete. Just by looking at the layout of this lounge, you can feel the wealth and power here. There is even a Poké Ball transfer machine in the corner that you would only find in a Pokémon Center!

After wandering around for a while, she plopped down on the sofa and stretched.

"This place isn't bad. By the way, Xia You, the competition is about to start. What Pokémon are you planning to use to battle that person?"

Influenced by Xia You, Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao also had a very bad impression of Shinan. Xiaoxia even only wanted to call him "that person," which shows that Shinan had been blacklisted by her.

Xia You chuckled: "Since Shi Nan has such a good plan, thought things through so thoroughly, and set up such a grand setup, then I naturally cannot let him down. I must also help him put on this show until the very end."

Sensing the teasing in Xia You's tone, Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao both looked at him with great interest.

"So...?"

"In Shi Nan's view, he would gain something regardless of whether he won or lost. However, he overlooked one point: although both are losses, a dignified ending and a humiliating escape have completely different consequences!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Poké Ball floated out of Xia You's pouch and landed steadily in his hand. At the same time, his Gengar emerged from the shadows and grinned at Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao.

"Since Shi Nan is so confident that he thinks he's on the same level as me, then I'll show him what true despair is! And he'll pay the price for his actions!"

……

"Dear viewers! Sorry to keep you waiting!!"
