I caught a Pokémon

The girl looked delighted. Although she looked to be the same age as the rich girl named Runa whom she had met in Kenta City yesterday, her personality was completely opposite. Moreover, she seemed very sensible and polite.

With her somewhat cute face, it's hard not to like her.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiaoyao blurted out, "Um... is this your first time participating in the Grand Festival?"

"Yes, that's right." The girl nodded vigorously, her voice filled with excitement. "The Rokudoki Tournament is the first grand tournament I've ever participated in!"

A rookie Coordinator Trainer...

Looking at this girl reminded Xiaoyao of herself back then.

I must have been just as naive back then.

"My name is Xiaoyao, and I'm also a contestant participating in this Grand Contest. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime."

"That's wonderful! My name is Mi Hua, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After exchanging brief greetings and nodding thank you to Xiaoyao once more, Mihua left without saying anything more and headed towards the registration area.

After she left, Haruka knew that time was of the essence, so she also led Eevee towards the meadow.

Xia You and the others did not follow, but instead went to a bench to the side and sat there quietly watching Xiao Yao.

However, Xiao Zhi was a restless person. After sitting for only a few minutes, he got bored and jumped up, saying to Xia You, "Brother Xia You, it's too boring to just wait like this. It's a rare opportunity, do you want to have a match with me?"

Since she had nothing better to do, Xia You was about to agree when another woman came up to her and walked straight toward Xiao Gang.

Her appearance undoubtedly attracted the attention of the group, and all eyes were on her.

The woman was around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, quite pretty, with long, flowing hair, wearing an orange T-shirt, a red pencil skirt, and black stockings. She looked like the kind of woman who appeared intellectual on the surface but had a fiery heart.

"Oh my...that's amazing, she's so charming!"

The woman walked up to Xiaogang, staring at him intently while muttering to herself. Her enthusiasm made Xiaogang feel embarrassed.

Xiao Gang's face turned bright red, and he even trembled with excitement!

what happened?

This woman is beautiful, and she's the older sister type he likes the most. Could it be... that his luck with women has finally arrived?!

His eyes immediately turned red hearts, and his whole body seemed to turn pink.

"Oh, not at all... Compared to you, my charm is far inferior!"

The woman didn't hear Xiao Gang's words at all. Instead, she went a step further and reached out... and lifted up the basin that Xiao Gang had been holding!

"This basin is absolutely perfect!"

Ok?

Xiao Gang's smile immediately froze.

It was only then that everyone realized that the woman wasn't talking about Brock at all, but rather the Pokémon in his arms!

It was a real misunderstanding, and it left Xiaogang quite embarrassed.

In that instant, Xia You even seemed to hear the sound of a heart breaking.

……

Under a parasol, Xia You, Xiao Yao, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Gang, Xiao Sheng, and the mature woman from earlier were sitting around the dining table, with a hot drink in front of each of them.

It would be strange if the woman was still holding Xiaogang's basin.

Speaking of this basin, it's strange. Although Xia You was seeing it for the first time, Xiao Zhi had mentioned it during the dinner party. It was captured by Xiao Gang a few days ago when he passed by a ninja school during his travels. Although it had only been captured for a few days, it was being nurtured very well under Xiao Gang's careful care.

I didn't expect to be noticed so easily today.

"I'm so sorry." The woman smiled apologetically at the group, then introduced herself, "I'm Pokémon breeder Yuma, nice to meet you."

Pokémon breeder?

Upon hearing that this woman was also a Pokémon breeder, Ash and the others were quite surprised. Brock, seemingly trying to find common ground, quickly added, "Miss Yuu, I am also a breeder. What a coincidence!"

Yuwu smiled slightly at this: "Actually, I recognized you as a breeder from the first moment I saw you."

As she spoke, she looked at the Pokémon in her arms and praised it, "From the luster and condition of this Pokémon, I can tell that you are completely different from the trainers and coordinators here. This is something that only we breeders can do."

"Huh?" Ash asked in confusion, "You can tell that from that?"

“Of course,” Yuu explained. “Breeders focus on the health management of Pokémon, while trainers and coordinators focus on training moves and building a strong body. Naturally, the diets they choose and the Pokémon cube combinations are very different. I can tell the difference at a glance.”

With just one sentence, she made people realize the woman's professionalism and extraordinary abilities, which drew repeated exclamations of amazement from Xiaozhi, Xiaoyao, and Xiaosheng.

In response, Xia You could only sigh: "Everyone has their own expertise."

Despite his exceptional talent in battle, he is far inferior to May and the woman in front of him, Yuu, in terms of flashy performances and taking care of Pokémon.

You should still admire them.

Upon encountering another breeder, who was also a beautiful woman, Brock released his remaining Pokémon as if presenting a treasure.

With two flashes of blue light, his Mudkip and Forrettos appeared in front of Yuwu.

"It's absolutely gorgeous!"

After examining the two Pokémon, Yuu didn't hold back in praising them.

At this moment, Xiao Gang took out his own concoction of Pokémon food, and Yu Wu praised it highly after tasting it.

"That's amazing!" Looking at Xiao Gang, Youwu's eyes sparkled. "I never expected to meet such an outstanding breeder like you here. Would you like to participate in the Grand Tournament?"

Should we let Xiaogang participate in the Grand Assembly?

Yuwu's words were quite unexpected for the group.

They simply couldn't understand why a Pokémon breeder would want Brock to participate in the Grand Contest!

Even Xiao Gang himself was taken aback.

"Huh? Me?"

Seeing the puzzled looks on their faces, Yuu-mai smiled again and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I used to be a Coordinator too. I even participated in the Grand Festival and won a prize."

Winning the Grand Festival is equivalent to winning the Pokémon Tournament, and it's not something you can get easily. So it seems that this woman named Yuu is indeed quite remarkable!

Such an identity naturally caused Xiaozhi and his friends to gasp in surprise once again.

Especially Haruka, who never expected that Yuu, who was just a breeder, was actually a top-level Coordinator!

That's so unexpected!

“Trainers and trainers do have a lot in common.” Brock nodded, but was still a little puzzled. “But why do I have to participate in the Grand Festival?”

"To be honest, my victory in the Grand Festival was actually thanks to the Breeder's technology." Smiling at Kogoro, Yuu said, "So I believe that passing on this technology to the next generation of newcomers is my mission!"

It turned out to be the case.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding.

It must be because Yuu saw Brock's Pokémon and recognized his abilities that she wanted him to apply his breeder skills to the Grand Contest, just like she did!

After understanding her thoughts, before Xiao Gang could even agree, Xiao Yao had already stood up.

"Miss Yuwu, please teach me this technique!"

"I'm sorry." Yuwu shook her head and refused. "The person I want to train is a complete beginner with absolutely no foundation, but you are already a Coordinator who can stand on your own."

Although Xiaoyao was a little disappointed by the rejection, she was still very happy to receive praise from a festival champion.

When Youwu's gaze returned to Xiaogang, Xiaogang had clearly already made his decision.

"I understand." His expression hardened instantly, and he naturally grasped Youwu's hand, smiling broadly. "Since it is Miss Youwu's wish, then I am willing to do so!"

After saying that, Xiao Gang didn't wait for You Wu to say anything more. He let go of her hand and ran towards the registration desk like a gust of wind.

Seeing this scene, especially the astonished look on Youwu's face, Xia You secretly found it amusing.

Before meeting Xiao Gang, Youwu probably never imagined that she would encounter such an 'eccentric' breeder.

I don't know if she regretted it afterward, but judging from her expression, she probably felt that things were getting out of her control.

Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Gang ran back to You Wu like a gust of wind, proudly waving the competition ticket in his hand at her.

This efficiency can only be described as frighteningly fast.

They didn't even give Yuu a chance to back out!

Seeing this, Xia You couldn't help but laugh. She turned to Xiao Yao and teased, "It seems that Xiao Gang is going to debut as a Coordinator here, and you're going to face a tough opponent!"

Chapter 848 Xiaoyao vs. Xiaogang (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Xiaoyao never expected things to turn out this way.

That wasn't all. As if fueled by some burning fighting spirit, Xiao Gang taunted Xiao Yao, "You better be prepared, Xiao Yao! I, Xiao Gang, have received the endorsement of the peerless Miss Youwu, and I will definitely become the biggest obstacle to your victory!"

I was thinking there were no strong enemies, but I never expected to be sniped by my own people.

Moreover, Xiao Gang is indeed a formidable opponent. His strength is undeniable. As long as he can pass the first round of performance review, with his experience as the head of the venue, most people really can't beat him.

But Xiaoyao isn't afraid of him.

Even if Xiaogang has Miss Youwu's guidance, so what?

I also have Xia You's help!

Whether it's performance or combat, I definitely won't lose to him!

Xiaoyao laughed and said, "Then I'll be watching closely. Be careful not to get eliminated in the first round!"

"I'd like to say the same to you," Xiao Gang said with his arms crossed, eyes narrowed and an air of confidence. "You and Ibu are the ones who should be most careful!"

Because Brock had decided to participate in the competition, he was like a different person. He went to another place with Yuu to do secret training. Ash and Max had no choice but to join in, and also wanted to see what unique training methods Yuu had, so they left without bothering to battle Xia You.

In the blink of an eye, only Xia You and Xiao Yao remained.

Spurred on by Xiao Gang, Xiao Yao also became determined and threw herself back into practice with even greater enthusiasm.

Xia You could only shake her head helplessly, half-reclining in her chair, waiting to see what would happen next.

……

"It's time for the performance!"

As Lillian delivered her signature opening remarks, the Rokudoki Tournament officially began amidst cheers from the audience.

Xia You, Xiao Zhi, and Xiao Yao sat in the audience. Since two of their companions were participating this time, in order to ensure fairness and not favor one of them, they did not enter the contestants' preparation room, but instead acted as spectators, cheering for Xiao Yao and Xiao Gang.

After explaining the competition rules, Lillian introduced the three judges, who never changed, as usual. After all that was over, the first contestant walked onto the stage.

However, to everyone's surprise, the first one to take the stage was the rookie Coordinator, Mika, who had asked them for directions on the lawn and was about the same age as Haruka.

Mi Hua was holding a long wooden stick, and it was unclear what it was for.

Moreover, it was clear that although she was a newcomer and it was her first time on such a stage, the girl named Mi Hua did not show any nervousness in front of so many audience members. Instead, she gracefully stepped onto the stage and bowed slightly to the audience.

As for her partner...

As Mika threw the Poké Ball, Rattata, who had been with her on the lawn, appeared at that moment.

At the same time, Mi Hua threw the wooden stick high into the sky.

Lada leaped high into the air, jumped towards the stick, and used his two front teeth to instantly gnaw the stick to pieces!

This move truly showcased Radamanthys' charm and drew cheers from the audience.

"Her performance is nothing like that of a newcomer..." After Mi Hua's performance ended, Xia You could only sigh, "This composure and calmness are something that many trainers who have participated in several tournaments cannot achieve. It seems that in a few years, this world will have another top-level Coordinator."

It was rare to hear Xia You make such a comment about someone. Xiao Zhi and Xiao Sheng, who were standing to the side, were surprised, but they also understood that with Mi Hua's calm and composed stage presence, she was sure to achieve great things in the future.

In the end, Mi Hua also received a very good score and bowed again before leaving the stage, just as she had always been known for – calm and polite.

After Mika, several other contestants took the stage, and their performances were all decent. Then, it was Haruka's turn.

Just as planned, May's partner for this performance is Ibrahimovic.

However, May also used a prop this time. She took out a ball and had an interaction between herself, the ball, and the Pokémon with Eevee. Although she didn't use any fancy moves, she still showed Eevee's charm and skills.

It's clear that Xiaoyao put a lot of effort into the choreography, and the performance was excellent. She made no mistakes and once again earned a high score, allowing her to safely advance to the second round.

Xiao Gang was the last to appear.

As the last contestant to appear, it was impossible not to be nervous after witnessing so many amazing performances before me.

Xiao Gang's performance partner is also that basin that You Wu praised.
