I caught a Pokémon

It can be said that Demi's inner world is very complicated. She is both envious and longing for May's status as a Coordinator, and wants to prove herself by defeating her.

Therefore, although being defeated made her realize the gap between herself and a true Coordinator, and hearing this man's words made her even more tempted, she still didn't show it out loud.

Are you a Coordinator too?

Her original intention was to ask about the person's identity first before deciding how to answer her, but she didn't expect that this question would lead to a big surprise!

Xia You had no intention of boasting; he simply shook his head and said, "I'm not a Coordinator, just a Trainer."

However, he didn't want to reveal his identity, but after hearing Dai Mei's tone, Xiao Yao felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but say, "Xia You is no ordinary trainer! Don't you know? He was the champion of the last Indigo League!"

"What!?"

Although Daimi dreams of becoming an outstanding Coordinator, it doesn't mean she doesn't know the weight and meaning of the words "Indigo League Champion".

Although she had never watched a Quartz convention match, she knew all too well how difficult it was to become a champion.

"You?" Dai Mei stared wide-eyed, looking Xia You up and down in shock, and couldn't help but ask, "Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Xia You didn't expect Xiao Yao to be so quick to talk back on things that had already happened, but she understood her feelings and knew that she didn't want to be looked down upon, so she nodded to Dai Mei.

"Xiaoyao is right, but we're telling you this not to tell you what achievements we've made, but to let you know that only by going out into the world can you see a wider world and continuously improve your own abilities."

In fact, given Xia You's personality and his relationship with Dai Mei, he didn't need to say so much to Dai Mei. But ultimately, there was only one reason: to ensure that Xiao Yao could successfully obtain the egg!

After all, only by helping Dai Mei's parents persuade Dai Mei and change her mind can they gain the gratitude of hope Mei and the Karasa couple, and thus have the opportunity to receive their reward.

Of course, Xia You actually has an even simpler method.

That would be to try to buy the egg directly, but doing so would only result in a simple transaction, without allowing her to gain any insight from the experience. It would also make it easier for Xiaoyao to obtain the egg too easily, without any sense of participation or appreciation.

If winning a Grand Contest isn't enough to make a difference, then adding a Pokémon Tournament champion would undoubtedly shake Dyme's resolve.

Especially when Xia You showed off her skills by releasing her Gardevoir and having it repair the mountain that Snorlax had just destroyed with Solar Beam in front of Dai Mei, she was even more shocked!

Can travel really become that powerful...?

After the busy farming season ended in the afternoon, Dai Mei's family and Xia You once again drank tea in the living room.

It was at this moment that Haruka told Daimi about some interesting things that happened after she became a Coordinator, and what she had seen and heard, and finally convinced her.

"Thank you." She pondered for a moment, then looked solemnly at Xia You and Xiao Yao, and said with gratitude, "I have made up my mind to go on a bold trip."

Upon hearing her words, Ximei and her husband, Karasa, were surprised but also exchanged a relieved glance. Their daughter's long-standing knot in her heart had finally been untied, and she was willing to take that step. They were naturally very happy.

Just as he was about to express his gratitude to Xia You and Xiao Yao, the warning red light next to him lit up.

"It's time!" Dai Mei was the first to stand up from the sofa, excitedly telling Xia You and Xiao Yao, "Remember what I told you in the warehouse? Pokémon would be hatching soon, right? Now is the time for them to hatch!"

After saying that, the family of three hurriedly ran out. Xia You and Xiao Yao, seeing this, were naturally curious about how Pokémon eggs hatch, so they got up and followed them out.

As the two left the farmhouse, they saw the family of three enter the tower surrounded by warehouses. When they arrived there, they immediately saw an orange-red Pokémon egg with swirling patterns gently shaking on a strange device, while several white beams of light shone on the egg.

Actually, judging from the shape of this egg, it's quite easy to guess that it should be a six-tailed egg.

That's not all. When Xia You and Xiao Yao arrived in front of the equipment, they found that the egg was flashing with light, and it looked like it was about to hatch!

"Looks like we've come at just the right time." Xiaoyao laughed, then approached the egg and examined it closely.

For Xia You, Pokémon hatching was nothing unusual. Although he often saw it in anime, it was the first time he had encountered it in real life, so he naturally found it quite novel.

And under people's watchful eyes, the egg changed in a short time.

After a flash of bright light, the entire egg suddenly changed shape, transforming from an egg into a six-tailed creature!

This was also a big surprise to May. She originally thought that the Pokémon would hatch from its shell, but she didn't expect that it was transformed from the whole egg, without even leaving a trace of the eggshell!

After the six tails hatched, Daimi skillfully took care of them.

She dried the baby with a towel, checked the body, and fed the baby. Everything was done in an orderly manner, showing that although she was still young, she was already very skilled at handling newborn Pokémon.

By the time I finished all of this, more than half an hour had passed.

Having been guests for so long, it seemed it was time for Xia You and Xiao Yao to say goodbye.

Even at this point, Hime and Karasa remained somewhat 'unmoved'. It seems that the lack of assistance from the Rockets and the absence of this event did not make the couple feel particularly grateful.

After hesitating for a moment, just as Xia You was about to speak, she saw Dai Mei carrying a transparent cover containing an egg and walking up to Xiao Yao.

"Miss May, please accept this Pokémon egg."

"Huh?" Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Xia You before asking tentatively, "Can I accept it?"

"Of course!" Dai Mei smiled. "It was because of your and Mr. Xia You's encouragement that I decided to step out of my home and become a true Pokémon Coordinator. Besides, don't you really like Pokémon eggs? That's why I wanted to use this to thank you!"

Xia You glanced at it and, judging from the pattern and color, realized that the egg in the modern beauty's hand was indeed an Eevee egg, and couldn't help but nod in approval.

Fortunately, it wasn't all for nothing!

That's right, in the anime, May got her second Pokémon after arriving in the Kanto region—Eevee—from this farm!

With Xia You's help, although Xiao Zhi was gone, things finally returned to their original course!

Chapter 828 Ibrahimovic:?

Haruka was still quite embarrassed, but she took the Eevee egg from Daimi's hand.

But May herself didn't know what kind of Pokémon would hatch from the egg, and Xia You and Dai Mei's family kept it a secret, smiling and not telling her, only saying that it would be revealed on the day of hatching.

This filled Xiaoyao with anticipation for the future.

Similarly, for Xia You, this also put her mind at ease.

As far as he knew, May had only caught Squirtle and Eevee in Kanto, Johto, and later Sinnoh, and hadn't caught any other Pokémon. Now, with his help, she had successfully acquired those two Pokémon, so he wouldn't have to worry about her anymore and could travel freely.

Of course, that doesn't mean May won't need to catch any other Pokémon on the rest of her trip. If she encounters a suitable one, Xia You will remind her and help her even if she doesn't say anything. But those are things for the future, so there's no need to go into details now.

After saying goodbye to the family, and taking advantage of the early afternoon, Xia You and Xiao Yao set off again, leaving the farm.

Actually, once you get here, you're not too far from that port city.

After crossing the vast plains and passing a pond, in just over an hour, they saw the port city of Giruba.

Despite its small size, Giruba Town is surprisingly prosperous, which is related to its geographical location. It is sandwiched between the two major cities of Goldenrod City and Vermilion City, and is located by the sea, so its economy is unlikely to be too sluggish.

However, because young people have been drawn away and foot traffic has decreased, it won't be easy for it to develop.

Just as the two entered the town, and Xia You was about to go to the dock to buy two boat tickets, she overheard a major event concerning the town!

The Giruba Grand Festival is actually being held tomorrow!

Upon hearing this news, Xiaoyao was extremely surprised: "Huh? There's a Grand Festival here too?"

After all, this place is too close to Golden City, less than a day's journey away. Generally speaking, it would not be possible to hold another grand event at such a distance.

“There are always exceptions.” Xia You could only explain with a smile, “Although I don’t know much about the Grand Festivals, I do know that besides the well-known big city festivals, smaller places like this often hold them too. Otherwise, how do you think Harry and the other Coordinators got their Ribbon Badges? If it were just the pitifully small output from a few big cities, not many Coordinators would collect all five badges in a year, and the Grand Festivals would probably have to be discontinued long ago!”

"I see." Xiaoyao nodded in realization.

It's no wonder she didn't realize this before. Just like Xia before her, it's just that for a 10-year-old girl, it's not about whether she's smart or not. Because of her lack of experience, there are some things she simply can't think of. She only understands them after hearing someone explain them to her once.

Of course, Conkenstein, the Grand Contest Secretary and a judge at the event, and Sukizo, the president of the Pokémon Fan Club, will probably be quite busy.

It's obvious that they must have just finished hosting a grand event and were about to rush to their next destination.

Oh, by the way, I imagine that beautiful host Lillian must be very busy too.

But no matter what, the opportunity is rare, and since she has encountered it, Xiaoyao will naturally not miss such a chance to participate!

After all, like everyone else, she also needs many ribbon medals to attend the grand celebration that will be held soon.

The two entered the town.

Because the town is very small, the venue for the grand assembly here is naturally not very large either.

The venue is located in a corner of the town. Climbing the tall stairs and crossing the sloping grass in front, you will arrive at the entrance of a multi-faceted building.

Perhaps having learned from her previous experience, this time, even though there was still plenty of time, Xiaoyao registered in advance, just in case something unexpected happened.

However, it can only be said that without Harry and the Rockets' mischief, nothing unexpected is likely to happen.

After registering and touring the venue, the two checked into the nearby Pokémon Center. May couldn't wait to head to the outdoor training area at the back to begin her rehearsal.

This time, Xia You finally had time to observe Xiao Yao's practice.

Xia You released her Pokémon as well, and sat on a bench next to the battlefield, grooming them while occasionally glancing up at May's situation.

May clearly changed her strategy this time. She planned to have Squirtle put on a spectacular show in the first round, and then Combusken engage in the second round of battle. It can be said that this separation was very good, achieving equal treatment for all Pokémon, ensuring that none of them felt neglected, and allowing them to develop comprehensively while fully considering their feelings.

Squirtle's performance is fine, as May can design and execute it herself. However, due to the limited number of Pokémon, Combusken naturally lacks a sparring partner.

Seeing that Xiaoyao was a little embarrassed to speak, Xia You laughed and pointed to his Pokémon, saying to Xiaoyao with a smile, "It's okay, whichever Pokémon you like, just let it go with Combusken to train!"

Xiao Yao was naturally delighted to have Xia You's consent.

However, after her gaze swept over the Pokémon beside Xia You, she frowned slightly.

At this moment, Xia You didn't have many Pokémon around him, only his Gardevoir, Gengar, Eevee, Dragonite, and Blaziken.

After thinking for a moment, Xiaoyao didn't know who to choose, and in the end she could only look at her own strong chicken.

"You can choose for yourself," she whispered to Combusken. "But be careful, Xia You's Pokémon are all very powerful, so don't be reckless!"

The Mighty Chicken nodded, and then carefully examined Xia You's Pokémon.

First and foremost, of course, are Gardevoir and Gengar.

These two Pokémon, although they seem very friendly, somehow give Roborock an extremely terrifying feeling, especially the Gengar. No matter how you look at it, you can see a hint of ill intent in its eyes!

After just one glance, the Mighty Chicken quickly looked away.

Secondly, there's the large, fat Dragonite.

Dragonite had a憨厚 smile on its face and gave Combusken a thumbs up, seemingly wanting to invite Combusken to join in.

But the Mighty Chicken also sensed a powerful aura emanating from it and knew it was no match for it. After hesitating for a moment, it also looked away.

Now only Blaziken and Eevee are left.

The moment its gaze fell upon Blaziken, Combusken immediately felt a sharp, tangible gaze, like a blade. This was undoubtedly the oppressive feeling of a higher-evolved form over a lower-evolved form within the same species, making it not even dare to breathe and hurriedly look away.

In the end, only Ibrahimovic was left.

Looking at the Eevee lying on the trainer's lap, its fur being groomed, and its face looking completely harmless, the Brontosaurus let out a soft cluck.

"Oh?" Xia You smiled at the Mighty Chicken, "You chose Eevee? That's a wise decision!"

Just as Xia You said, Xiao Yao's Combusken might be very powerful for ordinary people, but compared to her own Pokémon, it is undoubtedly much weaker. In contrast, among her Pokémon, only Eevee, due to its evolution stage and its cute appearance, doesn't seem to be that strong.

He released his grip and whispered to his Ibrahimovic, "Go on, the sparring partner role is yours."

Eevee also barked, leaving Xia You, and jumped excitedly in front of the Mighty Chicken, staring at it intently.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao was also very curious and wanted to know what the outcome would be if her Strongchicken and Xiayou's Eevee fought.

Will Xia You's Eevee emerge victorious? Or will his own Mighty Chicken have a chance to defeat it?

After all, from an evolutionary perspective, Combusken's physical attributes are undoubtedly stronger. Although Eevee is also very powerful, this makes it possible for Combusken to defeat Eevee!

Unfortunately, although she wanted to see how the two Pokémon battled, she had more important things to do than training.

With no other option, she could only give some instructions to Strongchicken before throwing herself into rehearsals with Squirtle.

For Xiaoyao right now, passing the performance review is the first step.

Only by successfully winning the first round can there be a chance to advance to the second round. Therefore, for the newly joined Squirtle, the most important thing is to make it perform better!

When training began, at first, Haruka was able to keep up with both sides, but as she and Squirtle got into performance mode, she couldn't keep an eye on Combustion anymore.

Only a casual glance revealed that Merach and Eevee were locked in a fierce battle, with neither able to gain the upper hand, before quickly looking away.

Unlike her, Xia You's attention was entirely focused on the battle between Merach and Eevee.

It's clear that May's Mighty Chicken is quite formidable. It traveled with May to a region and participated in numerous battles, undergoing considerable training.

However, compared to Eevee, which specializes in combat, it is undoubtedly still lacking.

In terms of physical abilities, Combusken has stronger attack power than Eevee, and its speed is comparable to Eevee's. Theoretically, Combusken should have the advantage, but in fact, the opposite is true. Although the two Pokémon are currently fighting back and forth, Eevee has actually taken the initiative due to its greater experience.

With Xiaoyao's limited perspective, she couldn't see this yet, but Xia You herself understood that it was only a matter of time before the Mighty Chicken was defeated.

However, defeating the Mighty Chicken is not the purpose of this training; rather, it is to help the Chicken grow stronger through battle.

Thinking of this, Xia You also offered some advice: "Mighty Chicken, don't chase Eevee, go towards the 12 o'clock direction, it will land there!"

Upon hearing Xia You's voice, the Mighty Chicken hesitated only slightly before obeying his command.
