I caught a Pokémon

Xia You looked around and saw that all her Pokémon had their heads down, enveloped in a strange atmosphere. Clearly, looking at the egg reminded them of their former selves.

Yes, who remembers what they looked like when they were born?

Let alone being born, how many of these Pokémon have ever seen their parents?

Gardevoir was a gift from someone else.

Dragonite was abandoned.

The Crystal Steelix has always been alone.

There are far too many.

Not to mention them, Xia You herself was no different.

Coming into this world means being cut off from everything on Earth—parents, relatives, friends. Now, he is just like a rootless duckweed.

Can not go back.

"I don't want to think about these things anymore." He shook his head with a wry smile. "Now that we're all together, we're family. No matter what happens next, or what problems arise, we'll face them together."

Just as Xia You said, they are now closely connected because of the bond of the Poké Ball. Although they are not family, they are closer than family. As long as they have each other's company, they are no longer lonely.

Xiaoyao listened quietly from the side.

She has parents and a younger brother, so she naturally can't understand the feeling of being adrift and helpless. But this heavy atmosphere still touched her deeply.

Fortunately, at that moment, the egg shook again, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

With a few soft clicks, the egg suddenly changed shape, transforming from an egg into an Eevee!

It's amazing that not a single eggshell was left.

Compared to its kind that can already be encountered in the wild, this newly born Eevee is undoubtedly a size smaller.

That's understandable, since it's a newborn baby, so it's naturally not very big.

However, it is a Pokémon after all. Although it has just been born, its body is already fully developed. It can not only move normally, but also see, hear, and make sounds. Apart from being a little more fragile, it is no different from an ordinary Eevee.

"It's Eevee! That's great!"

It was at this moment that May learned that the Pokémon she had obtained was Eevee, and she was naturally overjoyed.

After all, Eevee is very popular, and its appearance alone is enough to make people like it, and May is no exception.

Of course, there is another important reason.

That is, just like Strongchicken, now Xia You and I have another Pokémon that we share. And with two identical Pokémon, I'm sure I can learn something from Xia You's Eevee and grow faster!

Eevee looked around curiously, then glanced at the two humans and the group of Pokémon around it.

Before it could even see clearly, a large, furry, fox-like head had already approached it, sniffing and wagging its tail excitedly.

Needless to say, this is Xia You's Eevee.

The fact that a member of its own kind had hatched from the egg was something that, apart from Xiaoyao, it was the happiest of all.

Following it, the other Pokémon also approached, taking a closer look at their newfound companion.

It can be said that everyone, regardless of who they were, gave this new life the utmost care.

At that moment, Xiaoyao placed the food and water she had prepared in advance in front of Eevee.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiaoyao." She tilted her head and smiled. "Welcome to this big family."

……

The hatching of Eevee was undoubtedly a boost to May's lineup, and it made her happy for a long time.

But after the initial excitement, it's time to continue the journey.

After resting for a night halfway up the mountain and recharging their energy, Xia You and Xiao Yao set off again the next day.

This time, Xiaoyao also has a lively Eevee by her side.

Seeing how active it was, Xia You also released her own Eevee, letting it take this newborn member of its kind to experience the beauty of nature.

They traveled and stopped along the way until they arrived at a large city called Kinta City.

Xia You had never been here before, nor had he even heard of the city. But that was just his ignorance. When he finally set foot here, he discovered that it was filled with skyscrapers and was even more prosperous than Changqing City and Shenhui City.

Unfortunately, it is precisely because it does not have its own official dojo that its reputation remains obscure.

Upon entering the city, Xiaoyao excitedly inquired about whether the Magnificent Assembly was a place to be reported. However, she soon received two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that a grand festival is indeed held here, and in terms of both scale and popularity, it is second only to the Golden Festival.

The bad news is that the land recommendation conference ended two weeks ago.

This left Xiaoyao both amused and exasperated.

They came, but they were too late.

Before she could even feel disappointed, she heard a second piece of news.

That's the legend of the red lightning in Kenta City!

The so-called legend of Red Lightning refers to a strange man in Kenta City who wears a red cloak that covers his face and his entire body and is known as Red Lightning. He attacks trainers everywhere.

Because it is wrapped in red, moves as fast as lightning, and can even use Pokémon moves, it was given this name.

This strange person attacks trainers he encounters on the road regardless of their willingness, and after defeating them, he vandalizes their Pokémon with graffiti. He has already defeated many people and caused unrest among the locals!

When Xia You was told about this, she touched her chin after listening.

"A weirdo who can use Pokémon moves? He defeats his opponent and then just scribbles something? It sounds like a Pokémon in disguise."

As she spoke, Xia You's mind began to wander.

Red lightning?

Has this person ever appeared in anime?

I don't remember at all...

"Probably not," Xiaoyao frowned. "I heard he can speak human language. If that's the case..."

She was about to say that if it could speak human language, it could be ruled out as a Pokémon, but then she remembered that not only Xia You's Gengar, but even Team Rocket's Meowth could speak human language, so it wouldn't be so strange if another one appeared.

Could it really be some kind of Pokémon?

"No matter what, we should still be careful." Thinking this to herself, Xiaoyao worriedly said, "After all, we are trainers too. If we accidentally become his target, it will be troublesome."

"Isn't that perfect?" Xia You laughed. "Whether it's a human or a Pokémon, since it's already caused such a commotion, if we see it, we can just stop it, right?"

That makes sense.

Xiaoyao only regarded the red lightning as some urban legend, but forgot that the man standing next to her was a being even more legendary than the urban legend!

Besides, the city is so big, the chances of meeting each other are not that high.

In short, there's nothing to worry about.

However, just as she was thinking this, as the two of them walked through a city park, a sudden burst of laughter reached their ears.

Upon hearing the sound, the two instinctively looked up and saw a figure completely shrouded in a red cloak standing on a large tree, watching them!

Xiaoyao blurted out, "A red cloak, could it be...?"

"Hmph hmph hmph." The red figure looked down at them, and a deep, steady male voice came from within the cloak, "It seems you've heard of my name. That's right, I am Red Lightning!"

As he spoke, the person who called himself Red Lightning extended a red pincer and pointed it at Eevee next to Xia You.

"Then, let's have a match!"

After saying that, without waiting for Eevee's agreement, he jumped in front of Xia You and the other person.

Because they were now closer, Xia You was able to see the red lightning bolt in front of her clearly.

His judgment was correct; he recognized at a glance that the mysterious fellow wearing a red cloak was a giant praying mantis!

After all, he had one of his own, and it was hard to hide it from his eyes, given its size and the large head it was showing.

However, unlike the usual Scizor, the left eye of this red lightning bolt is a different color than normal, seemingly heterochromia, or perhaps it has been modified!

But no matter what, the red lightning bolt still looks pretty cool against the backdrop of the red cloak!

This made Xia You want to get a set for her Scizor too.

May, however, was still puzzled and asked, "You're going to battle Eevee? Does that mean you're a Pokémon?"

It wasn't that she couldn't tell, but Scizor was indeed a humanoid Pokémon, and its red cape concealed its size, making it difficult to discern its identity. In addition, various Pokémon masks were very popular and widespread, making it quite difficult to truly determine its identity.

But frankly speaking, it's still a lack of experience.

Faced with Haruka's questioning, Red Lightning said nothing more, but instead extended its right pincer and launched an attack.

A ball of scorching energy began to gather in its right pincer, and the next second, the Destruction Ray shot out, heading towards Xia You's Eevee.

In fact, not only Eevee, but also Xia You and Xiao Yao were within the range of this destructive beam attack.

This immediately made Xia You frown.

It's a well-established rule that battles don't affect trainers. As long as a Pokémon is human, whether it's a trainer or a Pokémon, this rule is generally accepted.

Since this red lightning bolt in front of us understands human speech and is active in such a city, it must be aware of such rules. Moreover, given that it was our first meeting and there was no conflict between us, its actions were clearly intentional.

This caused Xia You's impression of it to turn negative.

And once he becomes wicked, his methods naturally become less civilized.

"Perfect timing. Since we've run into each other, let's consider this a day of ridding the city of a menace."

He coldly stared at the Scizor in the distance, ignoring the approaching Destructive Beam. In fact, he didn't need to worry about such attacks; as long as someone dared to attack a trainer, someone would naturally take care of it for him!

Almost instantly, a huge black energy ball flew out from the shadow beneath his feet and struck the destructive beam of light precisely!

boom!

The two energies collided, and a massive explosion occurred instantly.

Gengar stood in front of Xia You and Xiao Yao, activating its ability to block all the aftershocks of the explosion. On the other side, Red Lightning also blocked the shockwave with its pincers, but its red cloak was still blown away.

It was precisely because of this that Xiaoyao saw its true colors.

"Scizor!? It really is a Pokémon!"

Not only that, after revealing its true identity, Xiaoyao also noticed a strange device hanging around the neck of the Scizor, which looked like a... megaphone!

"It seems we've really discovered Red Lightning's true identity."

When the smoke cleared, Xia You took a few steps forward, bent down and picked up a prosthetic eye-like object in her hand, tossing it around in her palm.

Needless to say, this prosthetic eye is the same thing that was just put on the left eye of this scyther.

The explosion caused it to fall, landing right in front of Xia You.

"Hmm, a camera, plus a megaphone under your neck, it seems that it's not a talking Pokémon at all. The so-called Red Lightning is just a manipulated puppet."

Chapter 845 The Brat

The person controlling this giant scyther probably never imagined that they would be exposed so quickly.

I never expected that someone could block Scizor's Destructive Beam so easily.

Although somewhat surprised, Scizor still launched an attack. However, this time its target was no longer the Eevee it had initially set its sights on, but rather the Gengar in front of it, which looked quite ominous!

The giant Scizor, known as Red Lightning, quickly closed in, waving its two huge pincers at Gengar and launching a close-quarters battle.

The pincers, swift as bullets, lashed out at Gengar, striking dozens of times in the blink of an eye!

Faced with such an attack, Gengar remained calm and composed, a smug smile on its face, emitting a strange "hehehe" laugh, easily dodging the opponent's attack with Vanish and Invisibility.

Even though Scizor suddenly changed its attack, inserting a metal claw into its Bullet Punch and altering its original trajectory, Gengar still managed to neutralize it in a 'comfortable' way.

It's clear that this red lightning bolt is quite capable; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to defeat so many trainers and cause such a commotion.

But it just couldn't do anything about Gengar!

No matter how powerful you are, as long as you're not one of those legendary Pokémon with super strength, as long as you haven't broken through your physical limits, and it's not a group fight, then in front of Xia You, this Gengar who has lived for two thousand years, whether you're a dragon or a bug, you'll have to kneel down!

Of course, Gengar's strength is not in the way people think, where its moves are incredibly powerful. While Gengar's moves are indeed very powerful, its most formidable strength lies in its ever-changing attack methods, which make it impossible to defend against!

Therefore, if you treat Gengar like an ordinary Pokémon when battling it, you will definitely suffer a great loss!

Clearly, this red lightning bolt was unaware of its power.
