I caught a Pokémon

However, it was too late to change anything now, so Snorlax could only desperately use Ice Punch to smash Gardevoir's face!

This was the closest it had come to Gardevoir in several rounds, so even if it was discovered, it would not back down.

In an instant, as if in slow motion, the wind howled, the snowflakes fell heavily, and even the Yeti Snorlax's fist slowly approached Gardevoir.

It was at this moment that Snorlax noticed that Gardevoir's eyes were actually flashing with a strange light red light!

Having never fought against such an opponent before, it naturally did not understand what those eyes meant, only feeling that everything about it had been seen through by those eyes!

Despite the storm obstructing his view, Xia You was unable to see clearly inside. However, through telepathy, his senses were connected with Gardevoir's, making him feel as if he were actually there. Naturally, he also saw the Yeti Snorlax.

'Foresee the future, activate.'

He silently gave the command in his mind, and at the same time, an unparalleled energy that had never been shown before was released from in front of Gardevoir and instantly struck Snorlax!

boom--!

First came a shockwave centered on Snorlax, followed by a violent explosion!

The shockwave directly dispersed all the nearby snow, wind, and falling snow, clearing the sky as if it were empty. In less than a second, the blizzard on the entire battlefield was wiped out!

Once her vision returned, Xiaoyao quickly looked towards the center of the battlefield and saw Snorlax fly high into the air, soaring several meters into the sky before crashing heavily onto the ice!

Boom!

May had no idea what had happened. She only saw Snorlax crash down heavily, while Gardevoir stood there unharmed, though the faint red light in its eyes was fading.

"What just happened?" she asked, utterly bewildered. "What happened to Gardevoir's eyes?"

"It just used precognition."

"Predicting the future!?"

Because May rarely interacts with Psychic Pokémon, she was naturally unfamiliar with this move, and had never even heard of it before.

Just from the name, one can sense a sense of awe and wonder.

Could this move really predict the future?

"This is a superb technique with a superpower attribute." As if knowing what she was thinking, Xia You explained, "Although it is named 'Predicting the Future,' it cannot actually predict things. It only marks the opponent with a 'Future Attack' status, and when this status is removed, it will cause great damage to the opponent."

Hearing this, Xiaoyao understood.

"So, even though the blizzard blocked your view, you were still able to find out where the Yeti Snorlax was, right?"

"That's right, that's exactly it."

As she answered, she saw that Snorlax had collapsed to the ground and seemed to have completely passed out. Knowing that everything had settled down, Xia You took out an empty Poké Ball from her waist pouch and threw it at Snorlax.

The Poké Ball traced an arc in the air and suddenly opened just above the Snorlax, releasing a red light that captured the Snorlax.

Because it had already lost consciousness, the Poké Ball didn't even shake before successfully capturing the Snorlax.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao ran a few steps quickly, picked up the Poké Ball, and returned it to Xia You.

Xia You caught the Poké Ball and bounced it around, feeling very happy.

Including the newly caught Snorlax, and the Entei caught a few days ago, I now have 26 Pokémon.

While this number can't compare to those trainers who enjoy collecting, nor is it as many as ordinary trainers, 26 Pokémon across three regions is still a considerable number.

Moreover, apart from that Jigglypuff, all of my Pokémon are very strong, so they have both quality and quantity!

Of course, even Jigglypuff is, in some ways, incredibly strong.

"Alright, we've achieved our goal, it's time for us to leave."

After recalling the Poké Ball and Gardevoir, Xia You released Charizard. Once the two of them were on board, Xia You glanced one last time at Lu Jia's location. Seeing that she was nowhere to be seen, she didn't linger any longer. With Charizard flapping its wings, they flew away from the iceberg.

After taking out the map and determining the location, Charizard headed northwest and within a dozen seconds, it was already far away from the sea area.

Just then, Lu Jia, who was setting up camp somewhere on the iceberg, looked up and saw this scene. She smiled and waved to the two departing figures.

……

Enju City, an ancient northern capital in the Jodo region.

The city is nestled in the forest between Leibo Mountain and Dayuan. Everywhere you look, there is an antique charm, with white walls and blue tiles, and courtyards connected one after another. There are no high-rise buildings here, but there are ancient houses that are hundreds of years old everywhere, making it look quite peaceful and elegant.

Even the pedestrians here mostly wear old-fashioned kimonos and stroll slowly down the street.

After traveling all day and spending a night in the wilderness, the two finally arrived at the place the following afternoon.

The fire-breathing dragon landed on a low hill outside the city. Through the red flowers and green leaves, it could see most of the city, and even the Burnt Tower and Bell Tower on the other side of the city could be clearly seen.

This was Xiaoyao's first time visiting such a large city, and she stood there, gazing at it for quite a while.

She only caught up with Xia You after he had come down the mountain and waved to her.

Xia You came here with only one purpose: to bring her Eevee back to visit.

However, he couldn't just barge in like that; he needed to at least give them a heads-up first. That's why he left Charizard outside the city.

I took out my phone and first called Xiaojuan, the eldest of the five Yuanzhu sisters.

The call was answered quickly, but it wasn't Xiaojuan who answered; it was her agent.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Xia You? I'm so sorry, Miss Xiao Juan and a few others are currently performing on stage, but the performance will be over soon. I will have her get back to you as soon as she comes off stage."

See? This is Xia You's foresight.

He also knew that the five Yuanzhu sisters had very full schedules every day, and it would be difficult to meet them without prior notice. They often had performances even in the evenings. Of course, the plays they performed were different each time. For example, the last time Xia You saw the Legend of the Three Sacred Beasts, they hadn't performed it for a long time.

The message was relayed to Xiaoyao, who shook her head in disappointment.

"It's such a pity. If the performance had just started, I could have gone to see it. Now it seems I'll have to wait until next time."

As they spoke, the two had already descended the hill, entered the city, and headed towards the home of the five Yuanzhu sisters.

As she walked and looked around, Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh, "Everything looks so retro..."

Xia You nodded and then told her about the Bell Tower, the Burnt Tower, the Phoenix King, and the Three Holy Beasts.

Xia You had only gone halfway when she received a call from Xiao Juan.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Xia You? I'm so sorry, my sisters and I were just performing, so we didn't get a chance to answer your call. Are you almost at our house? That's great! We missed it too. Okay, please wait a moment, we'll pack up and be right back."

Besides Xiaojuan's voice, you could also hear her younger sisters chattering away, occasionally interrupting. Clearly, they were all surprised and excited about Xia You's arrival.

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoyao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"I never expected that you, Brother Xia You, would be so popular in the eyes of these people."

"There's nothing I can do about it." Xia You shrugged with a smile. "After all, she's so outstanding, and things are valued for their rarity."

Having been there before, Xia You vaguely remembered the way, so she led Xiao Yao through it again according to her previous memory.

When the two arrived at the huge courtyard, they saw two luxury cars parked in front of the gate. As the car doors opened, the five Yuan Zhu sisters, still dressed in their performance costumes, appeared in front of them.

Upon seeing the five people in the distance, Xiao Yao's eyes widened in surprise.

"Are they the Enju Five Sisters?! They're all so beautiful! Especially their kimonos, they look so elegant and gorgeous!"

Sensing a hint of envy in her voice, Xia You shook her head: "Actually, don't be fooled by their appearance. Once they remove their makeup and take off their costumes, you'll find that they... are still very beautiful!"

Xiao Xiao made a joke, and when she saw Xiao Yao roll her eyes, Xia You laughed and said, "If you have the chance to dress up like this in the future, you will become just as beautiful. Alright, let's hurry over before they enter the courtyard."

The two crossed the zebra crossing and came to the other side of the street, and their appearance quickly attracted the attention of the five people.

Among the five sisters, Sakura, as the youngest, had been scanning her surroundings ever since she heard that Xia You was coming, and was the first to discover that Xia You and Xiao Yao had arrived.

"Sister! Look! It's Mr. Xia You!"

Upon hearing her voice, the other four sisters turned around at the same time and all saw Xia You.

At this point, the different personalities of the individuals became apparent.

The eldest sister, Xiaojuan, the second sister, Xiaotao, and the fifth sister, Yinghua, came over together and greeted Xia You. The third sister, Xiaoyu, was the woman who had provoked Xia You and fought with him when he first visited. Perhaps because of her aloof nature, or perhaps because she was still somewhat unconvinced, she stood in place with the equally shy fourth sister, Xiaomei, watching her from afar.

Xia You, along with Xiao Yao, greeted them.

"Miss Xiaojuan, Miss Xiaotao, Miss Xiaoyu, Miss Xiaomei, and Miss Yinghua, we meet again."

Xiao Yao nodded to them: "Nice to meet you all. I'm Xiao Yao, Xia You's travel companion."

Travel companions?

The five sisters exchanged glances, and none of them asked Lijia where she had gone, much to everyone's dismay.

At this moment, Xia You released his Eevee. When Eevee appeared and saw the five women, it excitedly called out and hopped over to them.

"Eevee!!"

"Great, it's great to see you again!"

"Ibrahimovic, you don't seem to have changed at all!"

The other four sisters, upon seeing Eevee, immediately squatted down, touching and looking at it, clearly delighted as well.

Only Xiaoyu glanced at Eevee before turning her gaze back to Xia You.

"Mr. Xia You, I heard you won another tournament championship in the Hoenn region, is that right?"

Perhaps it was because Xiaoyu's tone was a bit cold that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Xia You looked back without backing down and said with a faint smile, "That's right, and that's not all. I came back this time to challenge the Challenge Battle Frontier Zone, and I've already defeated six of them in a row. As long as I defeat the last one, I'll have another honor to gain!"

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the eldest sister, Xiaojuan, quickly stood up. She first glanced at Xiaoyu, signaling her to be quiet, and then smiled at Xia You, saying, "You must be very tired after traveling for so long, right? I'll go prepare the room and dinner right away. You'll have to tell us all about Eevee's growth later!"

At the invitation of the group, Xia You and Xiao Yao entered the courtyard.

Just like before, Xia You was still surprised by the five sisters' wealth and power on her second visit.

There is a pond in the courtyard with a small bridge over it. There are pavilions and towers on the banks, and Japanese-style houses with white walls and blue tiles connected by corridors. Cherry trees are planted in the corners of the courtyard. This arrangement reflects the five sisters' vision and taste.

Xiao Juan first led the two to the reception room, made them tea, and then took her leave to remove her makeup and change clothes with the other sisters.

Once here, Ibu really felt like he was home. Looking at the familiar yet somewhat strange surroundings, he kept running around.

With nothing else to do, Xiaoyao released her Eevee to accompany Xia You's Eevee as they wandered around. She then took a sip of tea and asked, "Brother Xia You, how did you get to know Miss Sakura and the others?"

It's no wonder she was curious.

After all, one is a trainer and the other five are famous stage actors. No matter how you look at it, you can't connect the two.

Upon hearing her question, Xia You's memories drifted back to the first time she met the five sisters.

Xia You briefly recounted the events that occurred when Eevee ran around the Enju Dance Hall, and at the same time, she couldn't help but think of Rika, who had accompanied her on her trip.

Thinking back now, it feels like it was just yesterday...

Chapter 875 Xiaoyu

(Note: The following chapters may contain content that may cause discomfort to a small number of readers. Please view with caution.)

While Xia You and Xiao Yao were chatting in the lounge, the five sisters were sitting together in the dressing room, removing their makeup and changing clothes, talking about something.

The eldest sister, Xiaojuan, had just finished entertaining Xia You and Xiaoyao. After leaving the lounge, she went to the kitchen to give some instructions before returning to the dressing room. However, before she could even change her clothes, she saw her youngest sister, Yinghua, bustling around. With a slight smile, she sat down behind her and started helping her get ready.

At the far end of the room, separated by the fourth sister Xiaomei, were Xiaotao and Xiaoyu.

These two sisters are the closest in age, and because they share many common topics and interests, they are naturally the best of friends among sisters.

After wiping off her lipstick, Xiao Tao turned to look at Xiao Yu, who was removing her makeup, and hesitated before speaking.

Noticing her unusual behavior, Xiaoyu also turned to look at her.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"You should be asking what's wrong with you," Xiao Tao whispered. "Don't think I didn't see it; your expression just now was really off. Was it because of Xia You?"

Xiaoyu's eyes flickered slightly.

"Stop making wild guesses. Don't you know me? I've always been this way."

"Come on," Xiao Tao chuckled. "Don't I know what you're usually like? Even when you see a man, when have you ever shown him any affection? You always seem indifferent. I don't know why, but whenever you see Xia You, it's like you're deliberately looking for trouble."

Xiaoyu was visibly taken aback when she heard her sister's words.

Am I really like that?

Thinking about it, it's true, I felt the same way when I last met Xia You, and even though it hasn't started yet, I have the same indescribable feeling in my heart.

"I have no prejudice against him, I just..."

Before Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Xiaotao shook her head and interrupted her: "I know what kind of person you are. You have a proud nature and are the strongest Pokémon battler among us. You believe that women should not lose to men, and you even dreamed of becoming a trainer since you were a child. But in the end, you had to choose the path of performance. But there are some things that we can't change, so we can only accept them."
