I caught a Pokémon

He never imagined that he couldn't even beat this pretty girl!

How am I supposed to get revenge on that man now?!

"How was it?" Xia You looked at him with a smile. "My assistant is pretty amazing, isn't he?"

The young samurai blushed, somewhat unconvinced, and said, "It was my oversight just now, I want to fight again!"

"Hit again?"

Xia You raised her eyebrows, then looked at Xiao Yao. After Xiao Yao nodded at her, she turned back to the samurai boy and smiled, "Okay, of course, no problem."

Upon hearing Xia You's words, the samurai boy was overjoyed and solemnly took out the Poké Ball containing his strongest partner.

This Pokémon was originally meant to challenge this man, but now that it has lost a round, it has to win back the match no matter what!

Chapter 862 I have a feeling I'll run into him again.

With a flash of blue light, a Heracross with its entire body in purple appeared in front of Xia You and Xiao Yao.

Its color, completely different from that of a regular Heracross, immediately makes it clear that this is a Shiny Pokémon!

This was completely unexpected.

Xia You never expected that this insect-catching boy, who had hardly ever left the forest, would actually have a Shiny Pokémon!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, it was precisely because he rarely left the forest and focused all his energy on finding Bug-type Pokémon, wandering deep into the forest, that he was able to achieve such results.

"So that's how it is. This Odd-colored Heracross is your trump card?"

Upon seeing such a Pokémon, May didn't dare to be careless. Instead, she called Eevee back and took out Combusken's Poké Ball.

For her, a trainer like Samurai Boy is of average skill level, perfect for practice, but she also has to be careful not to make a mistake.

Another flash of blue light appeared, and May's first partner, Robust, appeared in front of her.

The fire of the strong chicken undoubtedly counters the samurai boy's Heracross. This also shows that May has no intention of giving the samurai boy any chance. In this respect, her style is becoming more and more similar to Xia You's.

She's practically a female version of him, a miniature version!

After shifting her posture, Xia You reminded Xiao Yao again, "Be careful with fire. We are in the forest after all, and a moment of carelessness could lead to disaster."

Xiaoyao nodded: "I understand."

Seeing that the two trainers and their two Pokémon were ready, the battle resumed.

Despite its type disadvantage, the Samurai Boy's Shiny Heracross launched a fierce attack right from the start, which is in line with the Pokémon's personality.

With its massive horn raised, it used Horn Ram to ram into Heracross. Instead of directly confronting Heracross's powerful attack, Heracross leaped high into the air and jumped behind it, temporarily avoiding the attack and leaving Heracross wide open from behind.

It can only be said that, being a girl with this kind of personality, Xiaoyao doesn't get carried away when she's fighting, nor does she use brute force to fight her opponent. Instead, she looks for opportunities, and her style reveals a hint of caution.

The heterochromatic Heracross crashed into two large trees before finally stopping.

It's clear that its big horn is really powerful, and when paired with the horn ramming move, they really complement each other. If you were to get hit by it, you would definitely suffer internal injuries!

However, now that Heracross's back is completely exposed to Mighty Chicken, it's the perfect time to strike!

The next second, without May's command, Strongchicken had already dashed off and used a double kick!

Unfortunately, it was the samurai boy's ace Pokémon, and it was also clear that he had grown a lot since the last time they met.

Faced with such an attack, he remained calm and composed. With a command, the Oddish Heracross, which had been facing away from Powerpuff, suddenly flapped its tiny, cicada-wing-like wings and flew a short distance. Although it quickly landed back on the ground, it managed to dodge Powerpuff's attack!

"Hmph," the young samurai said smugly, "Did you think I was unprepared? Now, let me show you the power of my Heracross!"

Heracross launched another attack on Mighty Chicken, but this time it didn't use Horn Tackle; instead, it used Pin Missile.

Waves of sharp needles shot towards the strong chicken, creating whistling sounds in the air.

It's clear that he really wants to end the fight as soon as possible.

However, he ultimately underestimated Haruka.

There's a reason why Haruka can win so many times in the Grand Tournament. In terms of combat experience, she may not be as good as the young samurai who traveled early, but in terms of adaptability, the two are not on the same level.

"Mighty Chicken, use Quick Attack!"

Under May's command, Mighty Chicken took a step and ran in a 'Z' shape. Although it was not fast, it just managed to avoid the missiles.

"hateful…"

The young samurai had probably not encountered such a formidable opponent in a long time, and sweat beaded on his armor.

Having spent so much time in the forest, he had encountered powerful trainers before, but somehow he always felt that this beautiful girl was more difficult to deal with.

Whether it was Butterfree just now or Heracross now, he always felt like he had the strength but couldn't use it!

Those moves that used to work against other trainers have failed to work even once today!

And the more this happened, the more anxious he became.

At this rate, he won't even be able to beat this pretty girl, let alone challenge that man!

However, despite his desire to change the situation, Xiaoyao did not give him any chance.

Haruka also admitted that because she had relatively little experience in fighting against others, Heracross's wing flight was indeed a little unexpected for her. However, after witnessing it once, she was on guard, and it was unlikely that the samurai boy would try to repeat the same trick again.

Now it's her turn!

At her command, Mighty Chicken, with a flash of lightning, had already arrived in front of Heracross. Judging from its unstoppable pace, it seemed to want to settle the battle with close combat.

Seeing this, Heracross, who also possesses a Fighting-type, was naturally not afraid of it. Under the command of the samurai boy, it assumed a fighting stance and waited for the Powerful Chicken to approach.

They both have fighting attributes, so who's afraid of whom!

Unexpectedly, instead of a Fighting-type move, it was met with a large ball of flame.

Just as it was about to approach Heracross, the Mighty Chicken suddenly burst into flames and rammed into Heracross!

And this is the fire-type move – Charged Flame Strike!

Xiao Yao kept Xia You's warning in mind and dared not use ranged moves such as sparks or flames casually, fearing that it might cause a fire. However, since the flames burning on her body were within a controllable range, she didn't need to worry about them so much.

Because May had feinted at him, the samurai boy was caught off guard and could only watch helplessly as Mighty Chicken crashed into Heracross like a fireball.

Even though Heracross was strong, he still cried out in pain as the fire-eating insect struck.

Taking advantage of this moment, Roborock continued its offensive, using the Flying-type move "Peck" to defeat the shiny Heracross.

"how so……"

Seeing his Pokémon's eyes roll back and it collapse, the samurai boy's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, clearly unable to accept this outcome.

Lost again...

Including the second time, when he was besieged by a female ninja named Aya in the Evergreen Forest, although the fight was not over, he undoubtedly lost.

I can't believe it. I've trained in the forest for so long and defeated many passing trainers, but when I meet my old rival again, I'm defeated so easily.

Moreover, he was defeated by his assistant before he even got a chance to fight him!

I'm really not reconciled.

But then again, the pretty girl who accompanied him on his trip last time was already very beautiful, I didn't expect him to have changed to another one now!

Hmph, what a scumbag!

How enviable!

"I lost this time." The samurai boy stood up, clenched his fists, and said to Xia You with resentment, "But when we meet again, I will definitely defeat you! And after I defeat you, I will cover your face with graffiti! I'll let you experience what it's like to be abandoned and sleep in the wild!!"

and many more……

Graffiti?

Reminded by him, Xia You then remembered what happened last time and shrugged: "The graffiti you just mentioned, I didn't do it. Remember that Jigglypuff we encountered? That was its handiwork, and I was also affected..."

Just as she was saying this, Xia You suddenly remembered that she had already captured Jigglypuff and made it her Pokémon.

What Fatty made is essentially what he made himself.

So, the young samurai wasn't actually wrong...

Sigh, in the end, I had to bear it all myself...

No wonder he was so hostile towards me; it turns out he was holding a grudge against me...

But no matter what, it is absolutely unacceptable to admit it now!

The samurai boy put away his Pokémon and left, filled with resentment.

Once he had gone far away and disappeared from sight, Xiao Yao returned to Xia You's side with a smile.

"Brother Xia You, it seems there's some unresolved misunderstanding between you two."

“Yes.” Xia You shook her head, also feeling helpless. “Anyway, it’s not something that can be explained in a single sentence. I’ll tell you more when I have time. Besides, I have a feeling that I might run into this person again when I return to Kanto…”

……

After the brief incident, the two regained their composure and continued their journey deeper into the forest.

This time, after traveling north for only ten minutes, they saw the spire of a pyramid in the distance in the forest.

This discovery invigorated the two, and they instinctively quickened their pace, heading towards the pyramids.

After walking a few hundred meters more, and rounding a few large trees, the view suddenly opened up, and they could finally see the battle pyramid clearly.

Just like its name suggests, the entire Battle Pyramid is shaped like a pointed pyramid structure, but it is dark in color and is not made of stone. Instead, it is made of dark-colored materials that look like steel plates or solar panels, giving it a very high-tech feel.

The entire battle pyramid is fifty or sixty meters high, and its width is impossible to measure. It looks extremely majestic, yet it sits so abruptly in the forest.

"Is this the Battle Pyramid?" Haruka exclaimed in surprise. "It's huge! It's magnificent!"

Xia You nodded as well.

Indeed, it's hard to imagine that such a huge building could fly and move in the air; I really don't know how it does it.

However, what really caught Xia You's attention were some ancient ruins next to the pyramids!

These ruins look quite ancient, with crumbling walls everywhere, covered in vines and moss. They have existed for who knows how many years, and even the inscriptions on the stone pillars and walls have been ravaged by wind and sun to the point of being almost illegible.

Xiaoyao also saw these ruins. She frowned and was about to say something when suddenly the ground beneath their feet cracked open, revealing a large hole. The two of them didn't react in time and stepped into the hole!

As soon as she landed, before Xiaoyao could even let out a scream, she felt as if her body was being supported by something.

After she blinked and adjusted to the darkness, she turned her head and saw Gengar using a strange power to lift her and Xia Youge into the air.

"You two are really a handful." Gengar sighed, feigning helplessness. "You even fell into a trap. You were too careless."

As it spoke, it was about to carry Xia You and Xiao Yao toward the exit, but Xia You stopped it.

“This isn’t a trap.” Xia You first looked down and then looked up. “It’s just that a part of the underground ruins collapsed because of the passage of time. Alright, Gengar, take us down.”

"remains?"

Upon hearing that this place was also part of the ruins, Gengar became interested and slowly dragged the two of them down to the bottom of the pit.

In just seven or eight seconds, Xia You and Xiao Yao were already standing firmly on the ground.

At that height, without any precautions, one might suffer some scrapes, but with the sand sliding down as a buffer, there is no real danger to life.

After confirming that there were no other traps, Xia You looked around.

They were indeed in the passageway of some ruins, with solid stone slabs under their feet and stone walls on both sides covered with murals. There were even Pokémon statues standing in the passageway from time to time, just like the broken walls on the surface, which also looked very old.

but……

Looking at the electric lights not far away, Xia You and Xiao Yao exchanged a glance.

"Is there still someone here?" May asked in a low voice. "Could it be some ancient Pokémon that's still alive today?"

"You're overthinking it." Xia You shook her head. "Remember that battle pyramid up there? It's been here for several days. And it's so close to the ruins. I think it must be that the Brain of Pioneers is conducting an investigation here."

"So, we might encounter the Brain of the Frontiers here?"

"Who knows, but there's probably a very high chance."

Following the passage, the two walked towards the lights, then stood at the fork in the road and randomly chose one path to continue walking.

To avoid encountering any traps or dangers, Xia You released Gardevoir. With Gardevoir and Gengar protecting them, they could be safe and sound even in emergencies.

As she walked, Xia You took out her camera and photographed the words and patterns on the wall.

Although he couldn't understand the text at all, he could at least save it and send it to Professor Sakuragi.

Although Dr. Sakuragi doesn't need it, he can send these texts to other doctors. In this way, Xia You indirectly helps these people study the ancient ruins!
