I caught a Pokémon

Snorlax the Yeti...

Although my own Snorlax is cute, this is a rare Yeti Snorlax! If I could catch it, not to mention performing, just taking it to the Grand Contest stage and doing a little trick would get me a high score.

Unfortunately, I already have one...

As Xia You strolled among the Yeti Snorlax, she also searched for her own target.

Unlike the person he was when he first started his trip, he is now a completely different person.

As one of the most powerful trainers in the world, he can't just catch any Pokémon anymore.

Especially within a group, there are too many choices to make, so one must carefully consider all options.

And so they continued on, searching.

Xia You finally found a suitable target after walking all the way to a patch of ice forest in the center of the iceberg.

In the middle of the forest, a larger and fatter-looking Snorlax was leaning against an ice tree, constantly throwing a white fruit into its mouth. Judging from its appearance and aura, even if it wasn't the leader of this place, it should be a top-tier Pokémon!

Chapter 873 is truly powerful.

"Brother Xia You, what are Totem-level Pokémon?" May asked.

Faced with Xiaoyao's question, Xia You explained softly, "Actually, this isn't what we call it here. It's a special term that only appeared in the Alola region. It specifically refers to a Pokémon from a certain species that is larger than its peers and can be clearly distinguished at a glance!"

"I see." Xiaoyao understood, then asked, "Then aren't these Totem Pokémon incredibly powerful?"

Xia You first shook her head, but then nodded.

"Actually, apart from their larger size, people haven't found any difference between Totem Pokémon and ordinary Pokémon in terms of structure or moves. In that respect, there is indeed no difference between Totem Pokémon and ordinary Pokémon. However, their larger size also gives them stronger bodies and greater strength, so in that respect, they have a certain advantage over their counterparts."

Of course, this is also something Xia You is not quite sure about.

That should be an advantage, right?

While in games, strength is determined by stats, and the base stats of Totem Pokémon and regular Pokémon are indeed the same, in the real world, larger bodies naturally give them superior physical attributes, which is undeniable.

But it's hard to say for sure, since it's just my guess. I can only be sure after I actually capture a Totem Pokémon and observe it.

However, despite having chosen a target, Xia You hesitated to make a move.

This left Xiaoyao completely puzzled.

You know, Xia You isn't the kind of person who's indecisive, so why is he like this now...?

"Xia You, what are you thinking about?"

Xia You sighed, turned back to her and said with a wry smile, "I was thinking, Snorlax is a Pokémon that eats a lot, let alone this Totem Snorlax. If we really catch it, I don't know how much food we'll waste every day..."

So that's what you were worried about!

Xiaoyao glanced back at the dominant Snorlax Yeti.

"Indeed, judging from its size, it must eat much more than a regular Snorlax. But it's okay, did you forget I have special energy cubes? Snorlax loves eating them, and they replenish a lot of energy!"

Despite saying that, Xia You still felt uncertain.

Even with Pokémon, with its enormous size and appetite, I wonder how much it would take to satisfy it.

It seems I'll have to find a professional to make some improvements!

But now that things have come to this, he can't think about it anymore. He looked up again at the dominant Snorlax.

Compared to a regular Snorlax, this strange Snorlax in front of me, which looks like a snowman and is covered in white snow, could not possibly be a simple Normal-type Pokémon.

It's highly likely that it has the ice attribute.

Seeing that the dominant Snorlax was still throwing those white berries into its mouth, seemingly oblivious to the two uninvited guests appearing in front of it, Xia You threw the Poké Ball she had just taken out in front of it.

No matter what type of Pokémon it is, it will be useless in the face of absolute power.

With a flash of blue light, his Gardevoir appeared in front of Snorlax the next second.

Gardevoir hasn't had a proper fight in a long time. Xia You sent it out not only to ensure everything went smoothly, but also to let it stretch its muscles and maintain its high level of performance.

After appearing, Gardevoir took a few steps forward. Although its steps were slow, its aura immediately alerted Snorlax.

It wasn't that Snorlax wanted to notice it, but Gardevoir, though seemingly elegant, exuded a powerful aura that made it hard to ignore!

Putting down the berry in its hand, the Yeti Snorlax looked over with a silly expression.

To be honest, even though it's a top-tier Pokémon, the Yeti Snorlax's face was covered in berry juice, and its sleepy-looking eyes made it look completely lacking in majesty.

This makes one wonder if its enormous size is due to its inactivity and constant eating!

However, for Xia You, although its appearance is deceptive and misleading, he never underestimates this kind of Pokémon.

Whether it's Ash's Snorlax or May's Snorlax, they both have great strength. Many trainers have suffered great losses because they underestimated these seemingly clumsy Pokémon!

As Gardevoir approached little by little and finally stood in front of it, Snorlax scratched its big, fat belly and then stood up as well.

Although it dislikes fighting, it will not back down when a malicious person appears in front of it.

In the distance, the Yeti Snorlax herd seemed oblivious to what was happening here. In fact, even if someone did see it, they would only tilt their head, glance at it curiously a few times, and then look away.

There's nothing we can do about it; that's just Snorlax's nature.

Without saying much, and without even Xia You giving an order, Gardevoir had already made its move.

It gently raised its arm, and the next second, psychic energy emanated from its palm, sweeping towards the Yeti Snorlax.

Although Snorlax can't see psychic powers, it clearly senses something bad is flying towards it.

It raised its hand and hurled a branch high into the air, laden with tree fruit and snow. Whether by chance or by design, the branch struck the incoming psychic force precisely. In an instant, the branch exploded, shattering snowflakes, tree fruit fragments, and other remnants of the branch into dust that scattered in all directions.

These debris slowly fell from the air, forming a barrier that temporarily obscured each other's movements.

Just then, a series of rapid and loud footsteps rang out, and the Yeti Snorlax was moving at an incredible speed, rushing towards Gardevoir!

Its steps were so fast that it almost became a blur. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived in front of Gardevoir, then clenched its big fist and punched Gardevoir in the face!

This is truly incredible.

Given Snorlax's typically slow speed, the fact that this Yeti Snorlax can run so fast completely shatters people's stereotypes!

However, when Xia You thought about Ash's Snorlax, which he caught on the Seven Fruit Islands and had learned to swim the butterfly stroke on its own in order to eat delicious pomelo berries, and which even speedboats couldn't catch up with, Xia You wasn't so surprised.

With so many of them, there will always be one or two that stand out from the crowd. And this dominant Snorlax is not only enormous in size, but its speed is also astonishing!

This made Xia You even more interested in it!

However, despite its speed, it's not quite enough to hit Gardevoir with such methods.

The fist was only a few centimeters away from Gardevoir's face, seemingly within arm's reach, as if it could hit Gardevoir in the next second.

In battle, such a distance often means an insurmountable chasm, making it impossible to advance any further!

A surge of psychic power spread outwards from Gardevoir. Despite its massive size and three-meter height, Snorlax was still sent flying backwards by this force!

Gardevoir's powerful energy is evident!

Struck by the psychic force, Snorlax was thrown backward into the air. Fortunately, it was big and heavy enough that it only flew a little over a meter before crashing to the ground.

Pfft!

The heavy impact created a crater in the ice, but at the same moment it fell, Snorlax did a somersault and jumped up again!

What a nimble fat guy...

Seeing this scene, Xia You and Xiao Yao almost expressed the same sentiment.

Especially compared to its silly appearance just now, once it entered battle mode, this Snorlax's state changed drastically, and it actually looked very serious!

After getting up, Snorlax approached again and swung its fist at Gardevoir once more.

This time, its fist was even faster, and it was also enveloped in a cloud of cold air, making it look even more threatening!

It's an ice-freezing fist.

So it seems it does indeed have the Ice attribute, or can use Ice-type moves.

Because of the closer distance, this punch was obviously not so easy to dodge, but it was still very easy for Gardevoir.

In a flash, it not only dodged the attack but also reappeared on the other side, putting distance between itself and Snorlax again.

As Gardevoir looked at Snorlax's broad back, it was about to raise its hand to attack when Snorlax's keen battle instincts were revealed once again.

With a sudden turn of its head, a beam of icy light shot out from its mouth, heading straight for Gardevoir!

It used this move quite decisively and found the right spot; it was used almost the instant Gardevoir appeared.

It was clear that this Yeti Snorlax had considerable experience, which pleased Xia You.

After all, they have their own strength and experience, and subduing them will save a lot of time in their growth. With just a little training and guidance, they will become high-end combatants!

"What a pleasant surprise!" Xia You chuckled, then shook her head. "But being treated like this seems to be an underestimation of it. Gardevoir, let it witness your power!"

Gardevoir neither dodged nor evaded. Facing the freezing beam, it raised an arm, and the next second, a huge energy ball formed from psychic power appeared in front of it, then flew towards the freezing beam!

Perhaps it contained a powerful force that made this energy ball seem tangible, able to remain intact, and stubbornly withstand the freezing beam, parting the cold frost, and finally hitting the Yeti Snorlax!

The Yeti Snorlax was knocked off balance and fell backward.

But just as it collapsed, it rubbed its head and got up from the ground.

"Really..." May hissed instinctively upon seeing this, seemingly feeling the pain for Snorlax. "It was hit by an Energy Ball that looked so painful, yet it was able to get up immediately. Just how resilient is it?"

Xia You nodded slightly: "It is quite resilient, but Snorlax is known for its excellent stamina and special defense. Even if it takes a few more hits, it should be fine."

Just as the two were talking, Gardevoir attacked again, hitting Snorlax once more. Snorlax staggered again and tried to retaliate with its superior speed, but Gardevoir easily dodged it.

Gardevoir's effortless victory makes one wonder if this Yeti Snorlax is truly that powerful.

However, this is actually relative. If it weren't Gardevoir, even if it were Milotic, Metagross, or Eevee, the battle would undoubtedly be quite difficult, and even ordinary trainers' Pokémon might not be its match.

It's strong, fast, and very experienced. It's fortunate that it hasn't been trained by a trainer, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with.

Looking at it this way, we really struck gold this time!

Back on the battlefield, perhaps sensing that it was in danger, this Yeti Snorlax began to make a final stand.

As it raised its hands to the sky, almost instantly, the once clear sky began to be covered with dark clouds, and with a strong gust of wind, it began to snow heavily!

"It's a blizzard!" Xiaoyao shouted.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, soon blinding the group. The strong wind also made the two of them unsteady on their feet, forcing them to retreat dozens of steps and take shelter under some large trees to avoid the strong wind.

If the outer perimeter is like this, then the situation is even more dire for Gardevoir on the battlefield.

Xia You and Xiao Yao lost sight of the battlefield, but because of their telepathic connection, Xia You still knew everything about Gardevoir's situation.

The blizzard lashed at Gardevoir like raindrops.

However, Gardevoir simply used its psychic powers to create a protective shield around its body, which blocked all the snowflakes and strong winds.

Whoosh... crackle and pop...

Strong winds mixed with heavy snow relentlessly battered the protective shield, and outside the shield, Gardevoir's vision was also obstructed, with visibility less than a meter. Even its sensory abilities could not detect the Yeti Snorlax's presence.

Even the heavy snow and the sound of the wind masked the footsteps of the Yeti Snorlax as it ran.

Both Xia You and Gardevoir knew that this would be the final blow from Snorlax.

But where it will come from is still unknown.

Everything will only be revealed when Snorlax the Yeti appears on its own!

Fortunately, the Yeti Snorlax didn't keep them waiting too long.

Just a few seconds later, a huge and chubby figure suddenly appeared behind Gardevoir in the blizzard. It quickly approached and then leaped high into the air, throwing a punch at Gardevoir from above!

This punch, just like the one before, was wrapped in cyan-blue ice energy, looking incredibly powerful and not to be underestimated.

Just as its punch was about to land on Gardevoir, Gardevoir suddenly turned around!

Chapter 874, First Pokémon

Snorlax didn't expect to be discovered by Gardevoir at this moment.

After all, this was in a blizzard, which was equivalent to blinding and deafening the other party. However, even so, Gardevoir still managed to detect his whereabouts.

This was a situation it had never encountered before, and it was a critical moment.

But this also shows just how formidable the opponent I am facing right now is!
