I caught a Pokémon

When Xia You finally spoke, he almost vomited blood!

"Oh, isn't this my defeated opponent?" Xia You laughed. "What? Want to finish the battle we didn't finish last time?"

Harry's face darkened, and he was about to say something harsh when he saw May, Ash, and Max all stride forward menacingly in front of him!

"You dare show your face in front of us?! You liar!!"

"Wait a minute..." Despite being exposed, Harry shrugged and feigned ignorance, "What are you talking about? Why would I lie to you?"

"You're still trying to deny it?!" Xiao Sheng said angrily. "Didn't you deliberately tell us the wrong deadline? And you said there was no problem with the pass!"

Harry's mind raced. Faced with the three men's questioning, he quickly came up with a clever reply: "Really? Then maybe I'm mistaken. Please believe me, this really isn't my fault..."

Despite Harry's repeated explanations, at this point, how could Yao and the others still believe him?

Harry insisted that he had misremembered and that he hadn't intentionally lied to May, and Ash and the others couldn't do anything about it.

Finally, all they could do was glare at him fiercely before ignoring him and leaving the registration area.

After these people left, Harry's face darkened again.

This time, he was indeed caught off guard by his failure to fool Xiaoyao, which ruined his plan and made it even more difficult to repeat the same trick in the future.

hateful!

It's all that man's fault!

He deserves to die!!

Cursing under his breath, Harry knew there was no point in staying any longer, so he decided to leave. But just as he reached the door, he bumped into another group of people trying to enter.

Because he was preoccupied with something, he was caught off guard by the collision and was knocked to the ground. Not only did his buttocks hurt badly, but his signature green leaf hat also fell off.

"you…!"

He was about to start cursing when a woman opposite him shouted out in an even louder and more rude voice.

"What's wrong with you?! Can't you see where you're going?!"

Harry looked up and saw a purple-haired woman speaking, wearing a long red dress and huge butterfly glasses. Beside her was a man dressed as an assistant, and another man dressed in a suit and wearing a bow tie... Meow!

What a strange combination, and what an exaggerated outfit...

After looking them up and down for a while, Harry stood up and asked hesitantly, "Are you here for the Grand Party too?"

“Of course!” The woman raised her head, looking at him arrogantly. “Don’t you know who I am? I am the great and mysterious messenger of love and beauty, known as the fairy Musashi Bian!”

Fairy?

Musashi Bi'an?

Since she was from Hoenn, Harry didn't recognize any of the Coordinators from the Kanto region. However, just hearing the name and sensing the woman's strong confidence, he guessed that she must be a very powerful Coordinator!

He might actually be a celebrity!

Thinking of this, Harry's expression immediately changed, and he flattered, "So it's you! I've heard so much about you, even though I'm far away in Hoenn!"

"what?"

One sentence actually confused Musashi Bian.

She quickly huddled with another assistant, a human and a cat, and whispered in a voice Harry couldn't hear, "What's up with this guy? Has he heard of me?"

Needless to say, these three are the Rockets' trio.

They came here in disguise, purely to fulfill Musashi's dream of becoming a Trainer Coordinator!

"I don't know." Kojiro frowned. "They don't really think you're some kind of celebrity, do they?"

"How is this possible?" Meow Meow said in disbelief. "Are there really people this stupid in the world? I think they must have mistaken me for someone else."

"Isn't this perfect!" Musashi, a fearless person, gleamed with excitement as she laughed, "Judging from his appearance, he seems to be a Coordinator as well. We can make use of him."

"Huh? Is this really a good idea?" Kojiro hesitated. "What if someone finds out? And I feel like I've seen this man somewhere before, haven't we?"

Unfortunately, Musashi was no longer listening to Kojiro. She left Kojiro and Meowth and looked at Harry with a smile.

"I'm glad you've heard of me. Judging from your appearance, you must be an excellent Coordinator Trainer, right?"

On the other side, looking at the trio who had just been plotting as if nothing had happened, and now were looking at him with bright smiles, Harry also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

However, he didn't think much of it, since he never expected that the woman in front of him was such an unreliable person.

Moreover, in that instant, he had already come up with a vicious plan to use this woman to deal with Xiaoyao!

Chapter 821 Fairy Musashi Bian

“More than just an excellent Coordinator,” Harry laughed. “I’ve achieved very high rankings at the Hoenn region’s grand festivals!”

Harry's statement was half true and half false. He did participate in the Grand Celebration, but he was eliminated in the top 32, which can hardly be considered a very high ranking.

But what makes him so remarkable is that lying has become a habit for him. He can lie so easily that no one can detect any flaws. Coupled with his equally confident tone, Musashi and the others had absolutely no doubts after hearing him.

"Oh? Well, you're not bad either." Mr. Musashi glanced at Harry in surprise, not expecting this man to be so capable, but still laughed heartily, "However, compared to me, the fairy Musashi Bian, there's still a long way to go!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Harry rubbed his hands together, looking obsequious. "I've heard of your great name since I was back in Hoenn! You're here for the Golden Glow Conference too, right?"

"Of course." Musashi smiled smugly. "I've never taken the little Golden Tournament seriously. As long as I participate, first place is definitely mine!"

An ordinary person would not be able to have the kind of mysterious confidence that Musashi possesses, but it is precisely this kind of temperament, which even Musashi herself believes in, that has deceived Harry. After all, she is both a follower and an assistant, which makes him really think that this woman is an extremely powerful character!

"That's really impressive! Congratulations in advance on your victory!"

Under Harry's deliberate flattery and praise, Musashi became arrogant and carried away after only a dozen or so compliments, completely forgetting his own worth.

Harry also humbled himself very much, and surprisingly, this actually made Musashi, a simple-minded guy, believe that the man in front of him was truly captivated by his charm and became his fan!

Having laid the groundwork enough, Harry revealed his true intentions at this moment.

“Um…” Harry said, feigning difficulty, “If you don’t mind, would you be willing to help me with a small problem?”

"A little trouble?" Musashi was in high spirits and agreed without thinking. "Of course, no problem. Do you want my autograph?"

Harry was taken aback, and the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat. He was about to deny it, but then he thought that in order to appear more like a true fan and to make the plan easier to implement, he reluctantly nodded.

"Yes, that's right, but the autograph is only one aspect. I really have a problem that I need Ms. Musashi Bian's help with..."

Harry searched his entire body but couldn't find anything he could sign. In the end, he had no choice but to hand over his Kanto region pass to Musashi.

Musashi didn't stand on ceremony at all. He pulled out a pen from somewhere and, with a few quick strokes, left his big signature on Harry's pass.

Judging from the handwriting, the name is written crookedly and has absolutely no aesthetic appeal!

Are these words that a human could write?

It's so ugly!

Is she really a star?

Harry's brow twitched, but he couldn't say anything in front of Musashi. Instead, he pretended to be very happy and solemnly put the pass into his pocket.

"Thank you so much! I will definitely treasure this!"

Fortunately, Musashi is also a capable person.

After tossing the pen to Kojiro, she looked at Harry with a broad smile and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want my Lady Musashi Bian to do for you?"

Upon hearing this, Harry's eyes lit up with excitement.

She had waited so long, wasn't it all for this moment?

"It's just a simple matter." He tried his best not to laugh out loud and patiently explained, "It's like this, there's a very nasty little girl who keeps causing me trouble and often bullies me, so could you please ask Lord Musashi Bian to help me teach her a lesson when you see her in the competition?"

"A little girl participating in the competition?" Musashi was taken aback, not expecting Harry to be talking about something like this. Although somewhat surprised, he waved his hand and laughed, "I thought it was something else. Don't worry, this is something we're good at... cough cough, I mean no problem, leave it to me!"

……

After leaving the registration area, Xia You and her group didn't go anywhere else. Instead, they accompanied Xiao Yao directly into the Golden Hall to wait in advance.

At this time, although the competition had not officially started, some audience members had already entered the venue. In just over ten minutes, the venue was full of people. Seeing that there were more and more contestants in the waiting hall, it was inconvenient for Xiaoyao to talk or do anything else. So, after giving Xiaoyao his final blessings, he also went to the audience seats to wait, leaving Xia You alone to accompany Xiaoyao.

This was something Xia You had agreed upon beforehand, in order to prevent Harry from causing trouble again. However, it's unclear whether Harry was brewing an even bigger conspiracy, as the opening time of the conference drew ever closer, and he still didn't appear before Xiao Yao.

Not only him, but Xiao Shun, whom I saw yesterday, is not here either.

Leaving aside Shun for now, it's quite unusual that Harry didn't show up, given his personality.

Xia You naturally wouldn't naively think that Harry had given up. Knowing that he was definitely brewing some bad idea, she became even more careful. She had to check everything herself, from the procedures to the costumes, props, and even Xiaoyao's Poké Ball, before she could feel at ease.

Such meticulous care naturally moved Xiaoyao deeply, and her gratitude grew stronger and stronger. However, she didn't say much, but silently kept it in her heart.

It is said that a gentle rain nourishes the earth silently, subtly changing one's heart. But Xia You is like a bright sun, seemingly tangible and warm, shining gently on Xiao Yao's heart.

Watching Xia You busily attending to her needs without blinking, Xiao Yao's heart calmed down, and the last bit of tension vanished without a trace.

After Xia You finished his check-up and returned, Xiao Yao gave him a big smile.

This only confused Xia You more.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily?"

"It's nothing," Xiaoyao gently shook her head. "I just feel that you'd be perfect for the Grand Gathering."

Including Ash, this is the second time someone has suggested they participate in the Grand Contest.

This also made Xia You feel very strange. Could it be that she really... looks like someone who is going to participate in the Grand Assembly?

Is it just because you have beautiful Pokémon like Articuno and Milotic?

"You mean I already know the whole process, right?" Xia You laughed. "Pokémon trainers and coordinators are two different professions, but they actually have a lot in common. It's just that I've been on the path of a trainer for so long and have achieved some success. If I were to start as a rookie coordinator, I would still feel a bit out of place."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao already understood Xia You's meaning.

Ultimately, it's because as a trainer who has already won a championship, it's a bit too much for him to participate in the Grand Contest.

After all, it's not a competition where the outcome is solely determined by the Pokémon's strength; it requires the referee's subjective judgment, which is full of uncertainty.

If they win, that's fine, everyone will be happy. But if they lose to someone else, Xia You will definitely feel embarrassed.

But Xiaoyao could only say that Xia You was overthinking it.

After all, in her view, acting is acting and fighting is fighting, and the two cannot be completely confused. Winning is certainly a good thing, but losing is not necessarily a bad thing.

But after hearing Xia You's answer, Xiao Yao just smiled sweetly and didn't say anything more.

As for advice?

She believed that Xia You must have his own thoughts and considerations, and since he was unwilling to participate, she would never bring it up again.

Besides, isn't it great to focus on single Pokémon battles? It allows Xia You to concentrate on that and put all his energy into one thing, so he can climb to even greater heights!

As the two were talking, the Golden Tournament officially began. Seeing this, Xia You and Xiao Yao, like the other contestants in the lounge, all focused their attention on the large screen on the wall.

As you can see, under a dazzling array of stage lights, Lillian, the host they met yesterday, took the stage first and took over the entire venue.

With a light and cheerful voice, she waved to the audience and announced loudly to the beat of upbeat music: "It's Showtime! The Pokémon Tournament—a remix of love and dreams performed by Pokémon and their coordinators—is about to ignite the atmosphere of the Golden Glow Tournament! I'm your host today, Lillian. Everyone, feel free to enjoy the experience with me!"

Compared to when I saw her yesterday, Lillian looked even more radiant now. The spotlight shone on her, and with her youthful appearance and sweet face, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.

A wave of excitement erupted in the audience, who seemed to be cheering and applauding this rare golden gathering.

It's worth mentioning that the director thoughtfully switched the camera to show the audience's reactions on the big screen. And whether it was a coincidence or not, the moment the camera swept across the crowd, Xia You spotted Xiao Gang, who was swooning over Xiao Gang!

Like a firefly in the dark, he was so conspicuous!

Although he didn't make any exaggerated movements, nor did he have hearts in his eyes as usual, his infatuated and awkward manner, which was out of place among the surrounding audience, still made Xia You spot him at a glance.

"I have a feeling..." Xiaoyao scratched her cheek with her finger, looking slightly embarrassed, "Mr. Xiaogang's performance was a bit... a bit..."

"It's a bit embarrassing, isn't it?" Xia You laughed and agreed, "Indeed, you can't act like this without a strong heart, regardless of the occasion. In this respect, Xiao Gang has reached a level that I can never reach in my entire life. But I have to say, Xiao Gang's taste is pretty good!"

Of course, the two were just joking and didn't mean to make fun of Xiaogang. They would have said that even to Xiaogang's face.

This is the bond between partners.

Then, Lillian introduced the prizes for the event, which, unsurprisingly, were a gleaming gold ribbon medal.

Looking at the medals, so gleaming and magnificent, like a shield and crown, every contestant's eyes gleamed with longing.

This ribbon medal is both an honor and a ticket to a higher stage, which these people cannot afford to take lightly.

After explaining the rules, Lillian then introduced the judges for the conference.

Logically speaking, since the stage has changed from Hoenn to Kanto, the judges should be replaced. However, when Xia You finally saw the judges, she found that they were still the same few people.

Conkenstein, the secretary-general of the Grand Contest.
