I caught a Pokémon

"Capture complete!" Perhaps because he had done this too many times before, Hyuga smiled brightly at his successful capture of these Ursarings. He then instructed his Pepe beside him, "Pepe, use Help!"

Helping will put the target into a helped state, thus greatly enhancing its attack power.

Upon hearing Hinata's command, the nearby Dynamax immediately jumped in front of the several Ursarings, spoke to them, and made a few gestures. After that, Hinata shouted to the Ursarings, "Use Slash!"

Just like obeying their trainer's command, these Ursarings didn't hesitate at all. They all ran to the thorns and used their Slash skill to carve a path through the thorns!

Xiaoyao's eyes lit up when she saw this.

She approached Xia You with envy and whispered, "Brother Xia You, look! That Hunting Beagle is really amazing! It doesn't even need to be captured to get Pokémon to help it!"

"They are very powerful. What? You want them?" Xia You teased. "Then why don't you change careers and become a ranger? Then you'll definitely be able to get their help without having to subdue them."

"Oh, come on! Becoming a top Pokémon Coordinator is my dream, how could I possibly change it!" May waved her hand, then asked with some confusion, "But why doesn't Hinata send out her own Pokémon? She clearly has that Hunting Caliber, which can easily catch Pokémon. Does she not have any other Pokémon besides this Maximus?"

"Who knows?" Xia You shrugged. "Maybe there are some reasons we don't know about, or some strange rules for the patrolmen."

While the two were talking, the seemingly thick thorns were split open wider and wider by the combined claws of several charging bears, leading all the way into the depths of the forest.

After glancing back at the two, signaling Xia You and Xiao Yao to follow, Hinata took the lead and entered the dark passage.

It was at this moment that she told the two of them the whole story of these thorns.

"The incident happened last night. Suddenly, a large number of thorns appeared here. These thorns not only blocked the nearby roads, but also seriously affected the ecological balance here, scaring away a large number of wild Pokémon. Therefore, after receiving the notification, we rushed to provide assistance. And now it has been fully confirmed that the cause of this incident was Celebi!"

Xia You naturally recalled the scene when she first met Celebi in the Mysterious Forest.

If these thorns were indeed caused by the shrine, it would usually be an unconscious act after the thorns had already caused harm.

It's obvious that the Celebi from last night must have encountered a similar situation.

"I see." Xia You nodded. "The entire forest was sealed off because it involved a Mythical Pokémon."

During this time, Hinata had been keeping an eye on Xia You and Xiao Yao. When she saw that the two of them were not obviously surprised when they heard Lavi, she even looked at them with more respect.

It seems that these two must have had dealings with mythical or legendary Pokémon before, otherwise they wouldn't have remained so calm upon hearing the name Celebi.

“That’s right.” After understanding this, Hinata nodded and said, “In fact, before this, we had received many reports of abnormal thorn proliferation that occurred after Celebi appeared. However, the reason why this happened is still under investigation. But what is certain is that something must have happened to Celebi.”

"So the most urgent thing right now is to find that Celebi, right?"

“Yes.” Hinata sighed. “But it’s not that easy. We’ve done a thorough search since we arrived here, but we still haven’t been able to find Celebi. We’ve even started to suspect that it may have left this forest.”

"You guys?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled. "But you're the only one here."

Just as Xiaoyao finished speaking, a figure suddenly jumped in front of them.

"Who said she's alone? I'm right here!"

Once the person landed steadily, Xia You and Xiao Yao could see clearly that he was a black-haired man of similar age to Hinata. He was dressed the same as Hinata and wore a red headband. The biggest difference between the two was that he had a negatively charged pat on his shoulder!

"Seriously, you jumped down from such a high place again." Hinata sighed and rubbed his forehead, then introduced to Xia You and Xiao Yao, "This is Feng Yue, my partner this time."

One is positively charged, the other is negatively charged; it's obvious that their relationship is more than just teammates.

"Hello." The man named Feng Yue greeted Xia You and the other person. "Since you've been able to come here with Hinata, you must have received permission from headquarters. I won't say much more then. Please take care of me from now on~"

Like Hinata, Fuugetsu also makes a very good first impression.

However, when Xia You saw that two patrolmen had appeared, she realized that the shurabi incident was quite troublesome for these people.

It's important to know that while Rangers sound impressive, as they protect both nature and Pokémon, their numbers are relatively small, operating on an elite basis. Apart from headquarters, there might only be a handful of Rangers in a single region.

The fact that two people have appeared in this forest at the same time shows that they also value the Mythical Pokémon quite a bit.

Xia You also introduced herself to Xiao Yao.

Unlike Hinata, Fuugetsu gasped upon hearing Xia You's name.

"What? You're Xia You, the one who won three regional tournaments!?"

Compared to Hinata, Kazeki was clearly more concerned about major events outside. In fact, as long as people weren't so isolated from the outside world, anyone traveling in Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn would have heard of Natsumi's name to some extent.

Xia You smiled gently: "If no one else shares my name, it should be me."

Upon hearing that it was indeed this man, Feng Yue's eyes lit up, and she laughed, "Although I haven't watched your matches, I've heard of you and know that you're an extremely skilled person!"

"Wait!" Hinata was completely confused. He interrupted the others and looked at Xia You with a puzzled expression. "Aren't you a special investigator for the International Police? How did you become the tournament champion?"

"Didn't I just say that?" Xia You chuckled at her confusion. "Being an international police special investigator is my side job; being a Pokémon trainer is my main profession!"

Chapter 839 Xia You's Methods

It was only at this moment that Hinata realized how incredibly capable the man before her was.

That's all. Hinata doesn't pay much attention to the outside world anyway, so even if he knew what tournament he won, it wouldn't make any difference whether he knew or not.

It just gives you a slight feeling that this person is very capable.

Apart from Hinata and Fuyuki, there were no other patrolmen here. Now that everyone was gathered, they summarized all the current information.

After listening to the two people's stories, Xia You touched her chin and rested on the spot.

"So, in other words, since the incident last night, although you haven't found any trace of the ghati, you have found a lot of ashes in the forest?"

“Yes,” Fengyue said. “They are all ashes left after the trees were burned down by the fire. But what surprises us is that there has been no fire in this forest during this period. We really don’t know where these ashes came from.”

“Given Celebi’s abilities, it sounds like it brought these ashes with it when it traveled through time.” As Celebi’s owner, Xia You offered her professional analysis. “Only in this way can we explain the origin of these ashes. Have you followed these ashes to search for Celebi?”

Hinata and Fuugetsu exchanged a glance.

Finally, Hinata said, "Because the incident happened last night, when we arrived this morning, although we found the ashes and searched for them, there were too many thorns and vines in the forest, which affected the terrain. Some places were even completely covered up, making it impossible to find them. Moreover, Celebi is very small, so if he wants to hide somewhere, it won't be easy to find him."

Hinata is right. Celebi can just hide in any tree hole and not show itself. In such a large forest, finding it without provoking it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“So it seems there are only two options left…” Xia You said, glancing at the hunting harpoons on their waists, “Either you intensify your efforts and find more wild Pokémon to help you search, maybe you can find it after some time, or…”

Seeing that Xia You had only spoken halfway, Hinata pressed, "Or what?"

Looking at her, Xia You said calmly, "Either we find a way to lure it out."

"Lure them out?"

Hinata and Fuugetsu both frowned at the same time, and then shook their heads.

“I’m afraid that won’t work…” Hinata sighed. “While Celebi is a peace-loving Pokémon and enjoys living in the forest, it is timid by nature. Moreover, in this situation, even if we try to lure it out with those wild Pokémon, it’s impossible.”

It's not that it's impossible, it's just that you can't do it.

Xia You shook her head inwardly.

Actually, the simplest and most effective method right now is to use a Pokémon that can attract Celebi's attention, or a Pokémon with the same aura, to lure Celebi out, such as... another Celebi.

But clearly, neither Hinata nor Fuugetsu could do that.

As for Xia You, although he also has a Celebi and can use Hyuga's hunting dart to teleport it from the Rainbow Gym here, there is absolutely no need for him to do so.

For him, this was an easy thing to do, but he couldn't possibly take out his Celebi in front of two people he had just met, even if they were Pokémon Rangers whose original intention was to heal Celebi and this forest.

This concerns my own secrets and privacy, and unless absolutely necessary, like the young ladies at Yuhong Dojo who take care of the greenhouse, I will not reveal it to outsiders.

Of course, this doesn't mean Xia You will just let things go unchecked.

After all, it concerned the life of a Celebi. Although Hinata and Fuugetsu had searched the entire forest but found no other dangers, if the Celebi itself was in critical condition, every moment of delay would reduce its chances of being rescued.

For someone who also loves Pokémon, it's only natural to stand by and watch someone die.

It seems we need to find a solution that satisfies both sides...

After a moment's hesitation, Xia You made a decision: "In that case, I can help you, but you must promise me one thing."

One sentence was enough to pique their intense curiosity.

"It's so kind of you to help," Feng Yue smiled, but then asked with a hint of doubt, "But... what do I have to promise you?"

Looking at the two of them, Xia You said in a calm yet unquestionable tone, "That means when I use my method to find the Celebi, you must leave the forest and you are absolutely not allowed to peek!"

"What!?"

Hinata and Fuugetsu were extremely surprised to hear such a request!

"Why would you do this?" Hinata frowned. "Do you have a way of finding Celebi!?"

For a moment, she even suspected that the man in front of her was trying to get them away so that he could secretly capture the rabbi!

“While I’m not 100% certain, there’s a very high chance of finding it.” Xia You leaned back, leaving the choice to the two of them. “Of course, you can continue with your methods. I will continue my travels and not get involved in this matter anymore, just to keep things peaceful. To be honest, this matter originally had nothing to do with me. I only decided to investigate after seeing a Celebi in danger.”

Xia You had made her point perfectly clear.

If these two are at a loss and want to ask him for help, then they should hand over command to him and follow his instructions. If they don't trust him, then there's nothing more to say.

Sensing the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Xiaoyao didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Under Xia You's gaze, Hinata pondered for a moment before shaking his head.

"No, no matter what, this is our patrol officers' business. Even if you're an international police officer, you can't..."

But before she could finish speaking, Fengyue interrupted her.

“I understand.” Feng Yue first stopped Hyuga, then looked at Xia You solemnly and nodded, “Rather than wasting time here searching aimlessly, I’d rather trust you!”

This was completely unexpected for Hinata. She looked at her companion in surprise and asked, puzzled, "Fuugetsu, you..."

"It's alright, trust me." Feng Yue gave Hinata a reassuring look, then glanced at Xia You and smiled, "Well, the man in front of us is a winner of three regional tournaments and an international police officer. He must have his own unique methods!"

Hearing this, Hinata hesitated again. Perhaps out of trust in Fuugetsu, she ultimately chose to remain silent, clearly leaving the decision to her companion.

Seeing her like this, Fengyue looked at Xia You again.

"Then, Mr. Xia You, we'll leave this matter to you. We will definitely follow your instructions and guard the outer perimeter of the forest!"

Seeing that they had actually chosen to believe in her, Xia You's expression didn't change at all. Instead, she seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, right, you also need to leave behind a hunting buoy."

It sounds like they're pushing their luck...

Upon hearing this, Feng Yue was taken aback at first, but then seemed to realize something and nodded.

"I understand. Then I'll give you my hunting dart!"

It was clear that Feng Yue seemed to have realized something, and her tone changed, becoming more respectful towards Xia You.

Xia You also secretly looked up to this man who was a year or two younger than her.

Compared to Hinata, although they had less contact time, Fuugetsu gave him the impression of being cheerful and witty, and he also showed his decisive side.

It seems that Fengyue also vaguely realized that he was going to use the hunting gaiter to teleport some Pokémon, and that he was serious, which is why he gave himself the utmost respect.

As expected, none of those who become Pokémon Rangers are simple characters!

"Don't worry," Xia You said in a deep voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, this matter should be resolved soon, and of course, the hunting buoy will be returned to you intact."

After handing over their hunting buoy to Xia You and leaving their contact information, Feng Yue and Hinata left together without further delay, heading towards the edge of the forest.

After walking more than a hundred meters and no longer seeing Xia You and Xiao Yao, and confirming that they could no longer hear her, Hinata turned to look at Fuugetsu.

“Are we really sure it’s okay to entrust things to him? Especially since we’ve given him such important equipment as a hunting harpoon, and we even have to obey his orders, not to peek, and to be so secretive. I just don’t feel like we can just leave like this.”

"Don't we have a better option?" Feng Yue continued walking, saying, "We've tried too many times this day, whether it's using bird Pokémon to search from the air or Dugtrio to search from the ground, but every time we've come up empty-handed. Instead of continuing to search aimlessly like this, why not trust this man this time? After all, he's the champion of three regions, he's definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe he can really bring us some surprises."

No sooner had the two left than Xia You fiddled with the hunting glider for a while and had already roughly figured out its function and how to use it.

Xia You asked Xiao Yao to stand guard to prevent the two from turning back halfway, then took out her phone and dialed Li Jia's number.

That's right. After much thought, he decided to send his Celebi back and borrow its power.

After all, at the end of the movie "Encounter Through Time," a group of Celebi from other timelines brought the dead Celebi back to life. Therefore, Xia You should also believe in her own strength and that she is definitely capable of saving other Celebi.

This is why Xia You dared to do this and why she had the confidence to do so.

The call was quickly connected, and after telling Rika his thoughts, Rika on the other end immediately went to the greenhouse to look for Shirabi.

When everything was almost done, Xia You estimated that Hinata and Kaze had gone far away, so he no longer hesitated, changed the hunting cursor's form, and pressed the teleportation button on it.

The very next second, a GS ball was teleported to Xia You's front.

Strangely enough, perhaps due to its material, the GS Ball was originally unable to be transported by the teleporter. This was confirmed by Steel, Professor Oak, Professor Uchiha, and others. However, after catching Celebi with the GS Ball, the ball seemed to have returned to normal and could now be transported normally.

This puzzled Xia You greatly, but he didn't tell the doctors about it. Instead, he kept it a secret until now.

In the distance, Xiaoyao, who was keeping watch, subconsciously looked over here and naturally saw the magical Poké Ball.

So this is Celebi's Poké Ball. It does look quite different...

Picking up the GS Ball, Xia You pressed the switch, and with a flash of blue light, an Onion Head... oh no, it was a Celebi, appeared in front of Xia You.

Upon appearing, the shrine felt a natural atmosphere completely different from that of the greenhouse and couldn't help but fly around.
