I caught a Pokémon

Seeing that Shindai had already headed towards the trainer command area on the other side, Xia You waved to the others and also walked to her own spot.

Seeing this, Sotaro quickly walked towards the referee's area.

However, just as he was about to explain the competition rules as he had done before, Kamishiro reached out and stopped him.

Sotaro looked at Kamishiro in confusion, but Kamishiro didn't look at him; instead, he focused his gaze on Xia You.

"Since the champion has come to challenge us, we don't need to follow the usual rules. Xia You, how do you want this battle to go?"

Let me make the rules?

But this is just right!

Standing there, he chuckled and said, "I've heard that Mr. Kamishiro has three extraordinary Pokémon. I've come here today to see them."

Upon hearing this, Kamishiro raised an eyebrow.

He naturally knew who Xia You was referring to when he mentioned those three extraordinary Pokémon, but the question was, how did this man know that he had never shown them to outsiders?

"Do you know what Pokémon I have?"

“I don’t know everything,” Xia You said with a smile. “I don’t know much about the other Pokémon, but I do know a little about those ‘three Pokémon’.”

Ashida was puzzled when he heard the two of them speaking in riddles.

Those three Pokémon?

What exactly are they talking about?

Did the Gods have secrets they didn't know about?

"What are you talking about? I'm getting more and more confused."

In contrast to him, Xiaoyao appeared quite calm. After all, before coming here, Xia You had explained some things about the Age of Gods to her, so she had a general idea of ​​what trump cards the Age of Gods had, and she even knew exactly which Pokémon Xia You wanted to use to deal with them.

Seeing that his master had no intention of hiding anything, Sotaro turned to look at Ashida.

"Mr. Ashida, how much do you know about the legendary giants?"

“Legendary giants?” Ashida was taken aback, then frowned and said, “That must refer to the legendary eternal Pokémon, right? I remember they are legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region, and are also a collective name for Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. I heard they are transformed from rocks, icebergs, and lava, but I don’t know if that’s true.”

“It’s not just them,” Xia You added. “Far away in the Galar region, there are also Pokémon named Regidrago and Regice, who are also among the legendary giants. It’s just that because they are so far away, people don’t know much about them. So, the three Pokémon Regirock, Regice, and Registeel are simply referred to as the Three Legendary Giants.”

“I see. I haven’t heard of those two Pokémon before.” Ashida nodded, then, as if realizing something, she looked at Kamishiro with horror and exclaimed, “Could it be… that Mr. Kamishiro possesses those three Pokémon!?”

Sotaro nodded at first, but then immediately shook his head.

"Master does indeed possess the three Divine Pillars, but not all three; only two of them."

"Two?"

Xia You frowned upon hearing this.

What does it mean?

There are only two Gods now?

I arrived too early!

"That's right. Master has only captured Regirock and Registeel so far. Although he hasn't captured the last one, Regice, we have already obtained some clues about it. I believe it won't be long before we can collect the last one!"

Xia You sighed inwardly.

I didn't expect I was really early!

At this moment, after a long silence, Shindai suddenly asked Xia You, "How did you know that I possess the Three Divine Pillars?"

Xia You casually made up an excuse: "I just happened to hear someone mention that there is a powerful adventurer who is controlling a moving pyramid and collecting the three divine pillars, so I thought of you."

Whether the gods would believe this reason or not was none of their business.

only……

"That's a real pity." He shook his head and said, "I originally thought that after so much time, Mr. Kamishiro had already collected the three divine pillars and was looking forward to a friendly match, but now it seems that it is impossible to achieve that expectation."

Upon hearing his words, Kamishiro, Ashida, and Sotaro all understood.

Knowing that the Legendary Regiments are there, yet still speaking with such arrogance, it seems that either one is extremely confident in the strength of their Pokémon, or... they have captured a legendary Pokémon of the same level as the Legendary Regiments!

After a moment's thought, Xia You looked at the God Era and said, "Since you have already found the clues, then you must be close to subduing the final God Pillar. In that case, I am willing to wait."

"What!?"

Upon hearing his words, Ashida and Sotaro both looked at him in surprise!

Does this mean we're not fighting anymore?

"Hahahaha... Interesting." Just then, Kamishiro suddenly laughed, his eyes gleaming with interest, and even his expression was no longer as calm as before. "I will accept your challenge. Since you want to fight the Three God Pillars, I will grant your request. I will notify you as soon as I have subdued the Three God Pillars!"

Neither Ashida nor Sotaro expected that after waiting for several days, this would be the result!

Then all their waiting these past few days has been for nothing!?

However, the thought of witnessing the battle between the three pillars and this man soon made me feel that even if I had to wait a little longer, it would definitely be worth it.

For Xia You, this trip wasn't in vain; it served as a challenge.

After all, no matter how strong the other Pokémon in Age of Gods are, none of them can be as rare as the three legendary Pokémon, nor as meaningful as defeating the three legendary Pokémon at the same time. Therefore, he is willing to wait a little longer in order to fight those three Pokémon.

They exchanged contact information, and then Xia You left without lingering or saying anything more, taking Xiao Yao with her.

Watching his departing figure until the two disappeared, Ashida and Sotaro finally came to their senses.

"They just left like that..."

"Yes, and they're really confident to fight the three Titans."

Even Kamishiro crossed his arms and nodded in agreement.

"He is indeed an interesting man."

……

After leaving the Battle Pyramid, Xia You and Xiao Yao retraced their steps and headed towards Dark Grey City.

Neither of them expected that after finally arriving here, they would leave without even fighting.

However, it's well worth it for a more exciting battle.

After all, even Ash Ketchum had to challenge Age of Gods three times in the anime to obtain the final symbol from Age of Gods, so a little more trouble for him is nothing.

"Where should we go next?" Xiaoyao asked.

Now, whether it's the grand celebration or the final battle at the pyramid, both require a certain amount of time, and for a moment, the two of them were at a loss for what to do!

"Since we can't fight the Age of Gods in a short time, let's change our goal and go to the Indigo Plateau first, then act according to the situation. It's not far from the city, so we can deal with the situation in the city before the Grand Festival and the Age of Gods subduing the last Divine Pillar."

"The capital city..."

Xiaoyao nodded, having no other opinions. In any case, as long as there was enough practice time before the grand celebration began, it didn't matter where they were.

Dark Grey City is not too far from the Quartz Plateau. In fact, after passing through the mountainous area to the northwest of Dark Grey City, you will reach the vast Quartz Plateau.

The two returned to the city first, ate a meal provided by the government, replenished their supplies, and then plunged into the rolling mountains, heading west.

After several days of trekking, Xia You and Xiao Yao finally arrived at the Quartz Plateau. After traveling for more than a day on the plateau, they finally reached the venue for the grand celebration.

Standing on a high point, looking down at the familiar city, Xia You was filled with emotion.

This is where he won his first regional championship. I never imagined that after so long, he would return here again.

However, this time, he wasn't there to lift the trophy again, but rather to accompany Haruka to the grand celebration.

That's right, the Grand Festival and the Pokémon League are both held in this town, and there are even many shared facilities and buildings. The only difference is the main venue and the time.

"What a big and beautiful city! Xia You, is this where you won the Quartz Tournament?"

Xiao Yao also felt a surge of excitement. The thought of her final competition here soon filled her with excitement!

"Yes, this is indeed the first step towards my dream."

Xia You was also filled with emotion for a long time, but more than anything, she recalled the little things from that time.

After standing there for a while, the two composed themselves and descended the mountain into the city.

However, since the Grand Tournament was still more than ten days away, there was no special atmosphere in the city at this time. Apart from the city residents, there was not a single Coordinator in sight.

Fortunately, this isn't our destination right now.

First, they accompanied Xiaoyao to the registration office to register in advance. Then, the two left the city and set off again, continuing their journey westward!

Further ahead lies the capital city.

For Xia You, there are at least four things he needs to accomplish during this trip to the capital.

The most important thing, of course, is to go to the Charizard Canyon and witness your own Charizard challenge the top of the canyon!

Chapter 866 Challenging the Pinnacle!

Charizard Canyon is located between Bellflower City and Hinoki Town. Xia You had been there before, so she naturally knew how to get there now.

This time, having learned the specific start date of the Grand Festival, Xia You felt that the time was tight and the journey was long. Most importantly, there were other things to do after entering the capital, and she needed to give Xiao Yao enough training time. There wasn't much time to waste on the road. Therefore, after discussing it with Xiao Yao, Xia You decided to take Dragonite to get there as quickly as possible.

The moment I got on Dragonite, the feeling was completely different.

As it flapped its wings and took flight, Xia You and Xiao Yao immediately left the ground.

Above them were white clouds and blue sky, and below them were mountains and forests. The cool air blowing against their bodies made Xiao Yao, who was sitting behind Xia You, subconsciously lean forward.

It's fair to say that compared to hiking, this method is now essentially rushing.

You can't experience anything from nature, nor can you encounter any new people or things; your only advantage is that it's fast.

However, on the other hand, occasionally looking down at the sky and the earth in this way, taking in everything, can broaden one's mind and give one a completely different feeling.

Those towering mountains that usually seem impossible to climb swiftly pass beneath them.

Traveling and flying in the sky is undoubtedly tedious and boring, and the cold wind even makes it very inconvenient for the two to communicate.

Fortunately, after flying for almost half a day, they finally arrived at the Fire Dragon Canyon before sunset.

After circling around several mountains, the familiar fire-breathing dragon-shaped mountain and the long river covered with fire-breathing dragon statues reappeared before Xia You.

Without Xia You's instruction, Dragonite lowered its altitude and went upstream along the river.

Returning here again, Xia You didn't know how he felt, but the thought of his Charizard right in front of him made him feel a little excited.

With the cold wind gone and Dragonite slowing down, May finally had a chance to speak.

She looked around, clearly surprised by the environment.

"Is this the Fire-Breathing Dragon Canyon? It looks quite majestic. Xia You, who do you think erected these fire-breathing dragon statues in the river? And that mountain that looks like a fire-breathing dragon in front, is it man-made or naturally formed?"

"Then you'll have to ask the people inside. I think she'd be happy to answer your questions."

As they spoke, Dragonite spread its wings and flew, bringing the two of them to the gate of the mountain.

However, Dragonite did not stop, but flew them over the mountain gate and landed directly in the canyon behind it!

In fact, this mountain gate is only prepared for guests who are arriving here for the first time, or trainers who have stumbled upon this place. As an "old acquaintance" like him, he can simply cross the mountain.

Behind the mountain gate lies the true location of the Fire-Breathing Dragon Canyon.

This also allowed Xiaoyao to truly see what this place was really like!

In the rocky mountains, nearly a hundred fire-breathing dragons were scattered about. Some were eating tree fruits, some were lying there resting, and many more were playing and frolicking in pairs.

Everywhere was orange, making it particularly eye-catching.

"So many Charizards..."

The appearance of Dragonite naturally attracted the attention of all the Charizards. Instantly, all the Charizards looked over. In fact, not only them, but also Ji Ke, the administrator in the small house not far away, noticed Xia You's arrival.

Emerging from the cabin, Ji Ke waved to Xia You, accompanied by his female Charizard named 'Little Lisa'.

"You've finally arrived!"

Just as Xia You was about to speak, she suddenly felt an orange shadow flash past in front of her. The next second, a strong and tall fire-breathing dragon appeared beside Xia You.

Although so much time has passed and her body has changed, and her temperament is slightly different, Xia You still recognized it at a glance. It was her own Charizard!

"Charizard!"

Xia You happily hugged his Charizard, and Charizard hugged him back tightly!

The person and their Pokémon were reunited, and they were overjoyed!
