I caught a Pokémon

But Xia You still had to applaud their performance.

All I can say is that it truly lives up to its reputation as the ace Pokémon of the Frontiers. Compared to the Pokémon of Team Magma and Team Aqua, it's much more resilient!

Gardevoir and Gengar needed to attack twice to defeat them.

Just then, seeing Charizard and Salamence lying on the ground, the crowd erupted in uproar, with the audience displaying expressions of disbelief.

What are they hitting?

How come the battle is over so soon after it just began?

Is this all the Brain of Pioneers has?

Even when hunting wild Pokémon, it shouldn't be this fast, right?

People were initially shocked, then surprised, but in the end, they all turned to doubt.

They completely ignored Shi Nan's wide eyes and ashen face, and began to shout.

This is the backlash from public opinion.

It can be said that Shi Nan's image underwent a complete 180-degree transformation in that instant!

But for Xia You, the purpose of this battle had already been achieved.

Since Shinan wants traffic, I'll grant his wish.

He just wants to show his face, but I'll only let him show his butt!

Shi Nan thought that regardless of winning or losing, he would gain a lot of traffic, but Xia You was going to show him with her actions that she would only give him a humiliating defeat!

Under the watchful eyes of the entire Kanto, everyone saw how utterly vulnerable he was, and with such a performance, people would only treat him as a joke, and this battle as a joke as well!

This is what happens when you mess with someone!

After recalling the two Pokémon and glancing indifferently at Sharp, Xia You didn't even say goodbye before retracing her steps back to the lounge.

Normally, after losing to him, Shi Nan would hand over his symbolic badge, but clearly, given the current situation, he is not in the mood for that.

For Shi Nan, the most urgent task is to figure out how to salvage this disastrous live broadcast of the match.

Don't you love to act?

Let's see what abilities you have to turn this around!

As for the symbolic medal of Heather, I'll probably have to wait for the staff to bring it to me.

When Xia You returned to the lounge, she pushed open the door and immediately saw Xiao Xia smiling.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

Xiaoxia naturally knew why Xia You treated Fang Shinan this way, and she felt no sympathy whatsoever for that man.

They brought this on themselves!

"It's alright." Xia You shook her head. "It was a small punishment for him, but I didn't expect his Pokémon to be so easy to defeat. I thought it would take a few more rounds."

"It's because your Gardevoir and Gengar are too strong," Misty laughed. "Don't forget who you are now, the champion of three regions! As a champion, how can these people possibly compete with your ace Pokémon?"

All I can say is, she truly lives up to her reputation as Xiaoxia.

These are words that no one else would say, which is why Xia You enjoys traveling with her.

It's very relaxing, enjoyable, and fun, and she can even help her companions vent their anger in her own way.

Unfortunately, with the battle against the giant dome over, their next destination is Cerulean City...

Chapter 806 Haruka Joins the Team

Xia You and the other two waited in the lounge for more than an hour.

During this time, neither Shi Nan nor the staff here showed up. They seemed to have been forgotten. It wasn't until Xiaoxia became a little impatient that the door to the lounge opened. The staff member who had helped them register walked up to him with an apologetic expression, holding a gleaming gold badge.

"I apologize to Mr. Xia You for keeping you waiting. This is our tactical symbol for the battle against the Giant Dome. Now I'm handing it over to you."

To be honest, the person who came to deliver the medal was not Shi Nan, but just a staff member, which did not surprise Xia You at all.

If I were beaten up like that, I probably wouldn't have the face to show up in front of my opponent, let alone Shi Nan having such a serious public relations crisis to deal with.

Xia You didn't say anything and took it. Xiao Xia, however, was clearly not willing to let Shi Nan off the hook. She mocked, "We've been traveling for so long, and this is the first time we've encountered a situation where the medal wasn't awarded by the curator. It seems Mr. Shi Nan must be very busy right now."

Xiaoxia's sarcastic remark was like rubbing salt into Shinan's wounds.

Fortunately, Shi Nan himself wasn't there. Although the staff felt awkward, they didn't go so far as to relay the words to Shi Nan and upset him further.

"Miss, you're joking." The staff member had a stiff smile on his face. "This isn't a Pokémon Gym, so the rules are a little different. Well, it's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Xiaoxia to say anything more, closed the door, and left as if he were fleeing.

The moment the door closed, Xiaoxia burst into laughter.

"Serves him right!" she snorted. "Trying to use Xia You? This is what happens! Let's see how he'll face the future as the Pioneer Brain!"

Upon hearing her words, Xiaoyao scratched her cheek with her finger.

Although she also felt that Shi Nan was going too far, her personality was not as volatile as Xiao Xia's, and she felt that things should end here and there was no need to dwell on it anymore.

Xia You then glanced down at the tactical symbol.

After all, he had put in a lot of effort to obtain this, and it was proof of his victory over Shi Nan, so naturally he wanted to examine it carefully.

To be honest, apart from the letter that looks like an 'H' on it, there's nothing different about this badge. However, it seems to be made of pure gold. As expected of the Battle Dome, and as expected of Heath, who cares about appearances, it's really rich and powerful, just like this facility!

Having achieved their goal, the three packed their bags and left.

For them, this was just an insignificant little story during their journey, not worth taking seriously at all.

After leaving the area, the three headed west along the main road and arrived in Cerulean City that same evening.

Even though she didn't want to face it, Xia didn't say much after actually stepping into the city.

Now that they were home, there was no reason for them to stay at the Pokémon Center any longer. Led by Misty, the three headed straight for the Cerulean Gym.

The Cerulean Dojo was just like when Xia You came last time, especially the huge white sea lion photo, which was still so familiar. However, perhaps due to years of neglect, there was some damage on the outer walls and roof, making the whole dojo look somewhat dilapidated.

And to be honest, after walking around, compared to other dojos, Cerulean Dojo is rather small and quite outdated.

It seems that the first thing Xiaoxia will do after taking over this place is to renovate the entire dojo.

For Haruka, everything here was so new and exciting. She looked around and excitedly asked Kasumi, "Is this your home? Wow, what a beautiful dojo! It looks like an aquarium! I wonder if there are any shows inside?"

Xiaoxia: ……

One sentence was enough to break Xiaoxia's defenses and leave her speechless.

Of course, she didn't blame Xiaoyao for saying the wrong thing; she could only blame her three older sisters for ruining the dojo and making it look like an amusement park to people who came here for the first time!

What she found most unbearable was the persistent claim in Kanto that the Cerulean Gym was the weakest of all the official gyms!

She wanted to argue more than once, but when she thought of the strength of her three older sisters, she could only sigh helplessly.

"Don't say anything more, come inside with me..."

Following behind Xiaoxia, Xia You and Xiaoyao entered the Cerulean Dojo.

Perhaps because it was almost night, there were no challengers in the Cerulean Dojo at this time, and naturally, no spectators to watch the underwater ballet performance. The huge dojo felt both empty and deserted.

"Sister! I'm back!"

As soon as they entered, Xiaoxia shouted loudly, and when no one answered, she led Xia You and the other two deeper into the dojo.

For Xia You, returning to this familiar place reminded him of his first time coming here to take on the challenge, and his second time coming to help with the performance.

Time really flies, it feels like it just happened a few days ago...

When Xia You thought about the performance, she subconsciously recalled the kiss she shared with Xiaoxia's second sister, Changpu, during the performance.

They kept walking until they reached the vicinity of the pool, where they heard a sound. When they arrived at the pool, they immediately saw the three sisters, Sakura, Ayame, and Botan, practicing, surrounded by many Pokémon.

It has to be said that no matter how talented these three sisters are, there is a reason why they are called the "Hua Lan Beauty Trio" and are so popular. They are not only beautiful, but also have great figures. In particular, their long, strong, and smooth legs are especially eye-catching. Basically, most of the people who come here to watch the performance are attracted by their beauty!

Although they are not very dedicated to the dojo, their passion for synchronized ballet is unquestionable. After their daily performances, they practice until very late, just like they are doing now.

"It's really the same as always."

Seeing her three older sisters training so intently, Xiaoxia's hands went limp, she sighed helplessly, and then coughed lightly.

"Cough cough."

Upon hearing her voice, Sakura, Iris, and Peony all turned around at the same time, and exclaimed in surprise when they saw that it was Xiaoxia.

"Xiaoxia!"

"Kasumi!"

"You brat, you've finally decided to come back!"

Although they complained, as sisters, how could they not miss each other after being apart for so long?

However, this longing obviously only lasted for less than a minute. After the joy of meeting her faded, Changpu and Mudan immediately started scolding Xiaoxia.

"You brat! You've been gone for so long this time! You've made us run the dojo and put on performances at the same time. Do you know how tiring that is?"

"That's right! You absolutely cannot leave this time!"

Xiaoxia's smile froze on her face. She hadn't expected her second and third sisters' attitudes to change so quickly.

Only the eldest sister, Sakura, noticed that there were outsiders present and smiled at Xia You, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xia You, this time I'm really sorry to have troubled you."

It seemed that only then did Ayame and Sakura notice Xia You. Like two mermaids, they leaped out of the water, went ashore, and approached Xia You.

Peony's eyes gleamed with a burning thirst for gossip, and she asked impatiently, "Nothing happened on your journey, did it?"

Changpu nudged Xia You with her elbow, her face full of teasing: "Did she do anything inappropriate to you?"

"Enough!" Xiaoxia felt both shy and extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help but shout, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly do such a thing?!"

Although Xiaoyao had heard about her three older sisters from Xiaoxia before, it wasn't until she met them in person that she truly understood their fiery and daring nature.

Is this Xiaoxia's older sister?

Compared to this, I realized I've been too lenient with Xiaosheng!

Perhaps not wanting her sisters to say anything more nonsense in front of Xia You and Xiao Yao, Xiao Xia quickly pulled Xiao Yao to her side and introduced her to the others.

"This is my friend May, whom I brought back from Hoenn. May, these three are my older sisters. First is this person with long yellow hair who looks very gentle. She is my eldest sister, Sakura."

Sakura smiled gently at Haruka and said, "Welcome to Kanto. Thank you for your help along the way."

"Not at all, you're too kind."

Xiaoyao quickly returned the greeting. Compared to her two older sisters, Sakura was clearly more dignified and gentler, and she really felt like a mature, steady, and caring older sister.

Xiaoxia pointed to Changpu again: "This is my second sister, Changpu. Don't be fooled by her pretty appearance; she often bullies me and is quite willful. Be careful of her."

"Seriously," Ayame said, hands on her hips, "How can you talk about your own sister like that?"

After saying that, she changed her expression and smiled at Haruka, saying, "Welcome to our Cerulean Gym!"

"Ah... thank you." Xiaoyao didn't know what to say.

Finally, Xiaoxia pointed to the last peony: "This is my third sister, Peony. Although she looks very sweet, like a princess, she actually loves to steal things from me!"

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Peony said to Xiaoyao with a smile, "She's the one who can't keep an eye on things. I just put them away for her."

After exchanging greetings, Xiaoxia kept complaining that she was hungry. There was nothing she could do but let Changpu and Mudan entertain Xiayou and Xiaoyao while she went to prepare dinner.

Perhaps it was truly being back home that made her feel more relaxed than ever before; Xia You even detected a hint of coquetry in Xiaoxia's tone.

Sure enough, despite her complaints, she still loves her family...

Before long, dinner was ready, and as the group sat around the table to eat, Xiaoxia began to talk non-stop, recounting everything she had seen and heard along the way.

From her words, you could tell she was genuinely excited—the kind of excitement that came from the inside out, a desire to share her joy with her family.

Hearing about her experiences, Sakura was impressed and looked at Xia You, expressing her sincere gratitude: "Thank you so much for your help along the way."

"Not at all," Xia You waved her hand. "Actually, I should be thanking you. During this Hoenn trip, it was actually Xia who took care of me the most. Without her, my trip wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Although she knew Xia You was just being polite, Xiaoxia's eyes still welled up with tears, and she was deeply moved.

Brother Xia You...

……

After taking a nice hot bath that evening, Xia You was about to go to sleep when his phone rang.
