I caught a Pokémon

"Red Lightning!!"

Runa cried out in surprise, never expecting this to be the case!

Fortunately, the next second, Scizor immediately got up and approached Gardevoir again.

This time, facing Gardevoir's psychic attack, Scizor knew it wouldn't be easy to deal with and quickly used Shadow Clone to counter it.

In an instant, including Scizor itself, there were six identical red figures that pounced on Gardevoir!

Runa smiled.

This scene is all too familiar!

In past attacks, weaker opponents were usually defeated by Red Lightning's destructive beam, while more difficult opponents were defeated by Red Lightning's high-speed movement and shadow clones. It can be said that she has seen too many people fall to such moves!

I believe it will be the same this time!

However, in the next second, as Gardevoir raised its other hand and activated its psychic power again, it exerted force with both hands at the same time. Not only was Scizor itself sent flying backward, but the other five shadows also disappeared at the same time!

"What!?"

Runa's expression changed drastically once again.

She never expected that Red Lightning's attack would be neutralized once again!

Since meeting Xia You, her emotions have fluctuated wildly, from great joy to great sorrow, and from anger to a wide range of expressions. Her face has changed three or four times, which can only be described as quite dramatic!

Even though it was easily knocked down by its opponent again, Scizor got up again. However, this time it did not approach again, but instead used Swift to launch a ranged attack from mid to long distance.

But to be honest, it's really too difficult for this kind of attack to hit Gardevoir.

As the psychic power was activated again, an invisible barrier formed in front of Gardevoir, blocking all the stars.

This caused Scizor to fail again, and even Runako sank down with it.

It's just like a young child being played by adults!

How could my own Red Lightning be so different from this Gardevoir?

Despite her young age, she is undoubtedly extremely intelligent. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to defeat so many trainers with a single Scizor at such a young age. She is both talented and has grown through long-term battles. Therefore, both her command skills and the strength of her Scizor far surpass those of children her age, and even ordinary trainers cannot compare to her.

Runa herself was aware of this, otherwise she wouldn't be so arrogant and act as if she feared nothing.

But now, her proudest skills have been shattered in front of this man, and her long-held confidence has also been destroyed.

Just when she was at a loss for what to do, the butler once again blocked Xia You's way.

"Stop!" He said to Xia You in a deep voice, "Sir, please leave here immediately. You are trespassing on private property. If you do not leave, I will tell the master and mistress and hold you accountable! I'm afraid you don't know, but our master and mistress are very famous inventors and very important figures in this city!"

Sure enough, as a butler, and so old, he's bound to be a bit unreasonable, and wholeheartedly devoted to his master...

They actually tried to intimidate me?

It's ridiculous. So what if both parents are inventors?

It's obvious that he was too focused on his career and neglected to discipline his children.

Shaking her head, Xia You was too lazy to waste any more words with him. She took out her International Police Special Investigator ID from her wallet and waved it in front of him.

“Look carefully, this is my identification. I didn’t just barge in here; I followed the criminal all the way here.”

In fact, Xia You did not want to use this identity, but after encountering similar situations twice in a row, he had no choice but to use the name of the international police.

It can only be said that, compared to ordinary citizens, such an identity is undoubtedly extremely useful.

Upon hearing Xia You's words, the butler, though his eyesight was failing, still managed to make out the words on the document and was suddenly startled.

International Police Special Investigator?

They even define prostitutes as criminals?

That won't do!

However, he knew this was not something he could handle, so he quickly took out his phone to contact Runa's parents.

It's too late to do these things now.

Without Xia You even needing to say a word, Gardevoir subdued Scizor, then used Psychic to control Ryuna, and finally used Teleport to take the two away from there.

Before the butler could even exclaim in surprise, Xia You released Dragonite and left with Xiaoyao.

In the blink of an eye, apart from the butler who was as anxious as an ant on a hot plate, there was no one else on the top floor.

……

Whoosh.

Gardevoir, Luna, and Scizor appeared at the entrance of the Kenta City Police Station, and just a few seconds later, Xia You and Xiao Yao arrived on their Dragonite.

This police station was one that Xia You saw on her way to Runa's villa and had Gardevoir mark it, all for this moment.

The people at the police station were quite surprised to see Xia You and her group, and they all gathered around. Xia You then explained the whole story to them.

This surprised the police officers.

No one expected that the red lightning that stirred up the entire city of Jiantian was actually a giant praying mantis, and the mastermind behind it was just an eight or nine-year-old child!

Despite their surprise, the officers took Runa and Scyther to the police station, contacted their superiors, and notified Runa's parents.

Once the handover is complete, Xia You will no longer have anything to do with what happened here.

You can't blame Xia You for being heartless and picking on a little girl.

The impact of this incident is too great; it cannot be resolved simply by Runa's apology.

Even if I forgive her and stop pursuing her actions, will all the trainers she attacked forgive her?

Graffiti and the like are naturally not worth mentioning.

But which of the Pokémon defeated by Scizor wasn't injured? And which one wasn't rushed to the Pokémon Center by its trainer with a worried heart?

This is also the main reason why Xia You went to such lengths!

These brats deserve a lesson.

As for how the police should deal with Runa, how her parents should apologize to the trainers, and whether Runa herself realizes her mistake, that's none of Xia You's business.

Even Xia You didn't want to know what would happen next.

Having come this far, he had done what he needed to do, and for him, this matter was now a thing of the past.

After the two walked out of the police station, Xia You glanced to her side and saw that Xiao Yao seemed hesitant to speak, so she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What? Do you feel that what I'm doing is inappropriate?"

Xiaoyao first shook her head, then hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think there must be a better way. Maybe... we don't need to send her to the police station. If we explain the reasons to her first, we should be able to guide her back to the right path."

I was just too naive...

Xia You smiled noncommittally: "Is that so? Maybe, but I think the best course of action is to leave it to professionals. We are just travelers, and we are only looking at the incident from the perspective of the event itself, not the person. Just because someone makes a mistake doesn't mean that nothing happened, even if they are a child or a rich person."

Seeing that she still seemed hesitant to speak, Xia You continued, "Put yourself in her shoes. If we hadn't met her today, who knows how many more people she and that mantis would have attacked? Besides, we're on a trip; we don't have that much time and energy to guide someone like that onto the right path."

Xiaoyao seemed to be persuaded; although she still had some differing opinions, she nodded.

Seeing her expression, Xia You looked up at the blue sky.

"We're not doing this to punish her, we just want to put this matter to rest and give those trainers an explanation."

……

Starting from Kenta City, the two continued towards the location of the Battle Tower.

They set up camp for the night and stayed overnight. The next day at noon, they arrived at a small town called Liudaomu.

And here, the grand tournament that Xiaoyao had been longing for finally arrived.

However, what surprised her even more than the Pokémon Contest was that she and Ash and his friends met again at the entrance of the Pokémon Center!

This is indeed a coincidence. After May left the team, Ash and his friends no longer needed to watch the Grand Festival, yet they still managed to meet here. It can only be described as a fateful encounter.

However, for Ash and his friends, seeing Xia You and Xiao Yao didn't seem so surprising.

"See?" Standing in front of the Pokémon Center's entrance, Ash said smugly to Brock and Max beside him, "I told you I had a feeling we'd run into Xia You and May here! My hunch was right!"

After saying that, Xiao Zhi excitedly ran up to Xia You.

"Xia You, how many symbols have you obtained?"

"We've got five already. We just need one more symbol of the Battle Tower to challenge the final location. What about you?"

"Hehehe." Ash proudly opened his symbol collection box, showing Xia You several symbols inside. "I've got four too! Next, I'm going to Metal Island!"

It seems that Ash and Xia You have taken an intersecting route, but after he finishes challenging Metal Island, he will still have to go around in circles to challenge the Battle Tower and obtain the final symbol.

But it has to be said that Ash's speed is still a bit too fast.

It seems that although he still gets lost and gets caught up in various incidents, the absence of Haruka means he doesn't have to watch those grand events, which makes his journey smoother and faster.

Chapter 847 Xiao Gang's Debut

Since they had met again after so long, as is customary, Xia You treated everyone to a meal at a nice restaurant, a sumptuous feast to reward everyone's appetite.

Although the food Xiaogang prepared was delicious, the atmosphere was quite different when everyone gathered together, eating, drinking, and chatting.

Just then, Ash and his friends saw May's Eevee, and they played with it for a while out of curiosity, and also congratulated May.

It was also learned that at this Rokudoki Tournament, May would be using Eevee to participate in the first round of the spectacular performance review.

Upon hearing this news, Xiaozhi and his two friends exchanged bewildered glances.

"Isn't this too risky?" Xiao Gang hesitated for a moment and asked, "After all, this Eevee has only been hatched for a short time. Wouldn't it be too much of a burden to let it participate in the Grand Contest like this?"

Just as Xiaogang said, this choice is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

After all, Xiaoyao had just entered the second round of the competition for the first time in the previous tournament with a first-place finish. Although her several consecutive victories made the situation look very promising, she had achieved this without any strong opponents participating.

If they encounter an opponent like Xiaoshun, they will inevitably face a tough battle.

Therefore, in their view, she should consolidate her achievements now, rather than introduce a new lineup.

After all, Pokémon lacks experience and has never participated in similar competitions before, so the trainer's personal ability is even more important, which undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on May.

But Xiaoyao clearly had her own considerations.

"It's okay." She waved her hand and smiled at the group. "During the rest of the past few days, I showed Ibu a lot of videos and we did a lot of practice. Our teamwork is pretty good. As long as there are no major mistakes, we should be able to advance."

Even though she had already said that, Xiaozhi and the others still couldn't help but worry.

Fortunately, Xia You said at this moment, "Alright, since Xiao Yao has already said so, then we should believe her. Besides, it's just a small-town-level grand tournament, there aren't that many participants, so there shouldn't be any tough opponents. We still have a good chance of winning."

Seeing that even Xia You supported Xiao Yao, Xiao Zhi and the other two naturally had no more objections.

After lunch, the group went to the venue to scout out the situation.

Just like the previous Giruba Conference where I encountered office workers, the venue for this Six Paths Wood Conference is not very large. It is located in a lawn and, from a distance, looks like half of a Poké Ball has been cut off and placed there. It is round and even the color scheme is similar.

Conversely, there weren't many contestants participating here, and even the audience seats numbered only a few thousand.

First, I accompanied Xiaoyao to register at the registration desk. Then, the group walked out of the venue and onto the lawn outside.

Because tomorrow is the competition day, many trainers are practicing here right now.

Trumpet Bud, Nine-tailed Fox, Tail-shaped Fox, Gas Bomb...

These people had all sorts of Pokémon, and although they seemed to be making quite a show of force, after looking around, I didn't find a single familiar face.

In this light, it was just an ordinary, small, lavish gathering, without even any particularly difficult opponents.

This gave Xiaoyao even more confidence.

She was just thinking of practicing with Eevee on the lawn, just like the trainers, when she ran into a little girl with a Rattata.

The girl was about the same age and height as Xiaoyao. She was wearing a green sleeveless dress and had her algae-green hair styled in a side ponytail. She looked quite pretty and had a touch of cuteness.

However, she looked flustered, as if she were searching for something, and seemed somewhat at a loss.

Upon seeing Xiaoyao approaching, the girl cautiously asked, "Hello, could you tell me where the registration desk for the event is?"

Xiaoyao pointed to a small door next to the main entrance of the venue behind her.

"That's it."

"Oh, thank you so much."
