I caught a Pokémon

"Coal Turtle! Come out now!"

But after several seconds, his calls remained unanswered, like a stone sinking into the sea. This made Ash's heart leap into his throat. Just then, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed within the Sand Scroll. This lightning was as strong as lightning. Even with the thick sand blocking the way, several extremely bright bolts of lightning still managed to escape!

Everyone present knew that Torkoal didn't know any Electric-type moves, so this bolt of lightning could only have come from Registeel!

Because the sand scroll was impossible to see through, people naturally couldn't understand what was inside, but they all knew that the situation was definitely not optimistic.

And just over ten seconds later, the sand roll finally disappeared.

Xia You and the others quickly looked inside the Sand Scroll, and saw Registeel, whose eyes were still flashing red, standing there imposingly, while Ash's Torkoal lay motionless on the ground.

"We lost..."

Seeing this, Xiao Sheng exclaimed in regret. After all, in his opinion, Ash's Torkoal had been in control and even took the lead at one point when the battle just started. How could the situation have changed so suddenly?

At that moment, Sotaro raised his right hand.

"Torrell is unable to battle, Registeel wins!"

When the results were in, Ash had no choice but to walk over to Torkoal, squat down, and put it back into its Poké Ball.

However, before he could even get up, Kamishiro had already walked up to him.

"You did well this time, young man." Kamishiro smiled, his usually stern expression seeming to relax slightly at this moment.

Ash looked dejected: "But I still lost..."

"Honestly accepting defeat is an important step in growth," Kamishiro smiled. "There's something I need to tell you: Pokémon battles aren't just a matter for the trainer alone; they require the trainer and Pokémon to work together! This should allow you to create your own unique battle style!"

Xia You didn't know how much Shindai's words would affect Xiao Zhi; he only knew that it was time for him to step up.

As he stood up from the audience, all eyes instantly turned to him.

After all, they knew perfectly well that Ash's battles were just an appetizer; the real protagonist was right here!

When Xia You reached Kamishiro and looked at him, he smiled and said, "It's finally my turn. But before we start, I'd like to ask you something. Your Registeel just finished a battle, so shouldn't you recover first?"

Chapter 906 The Three Holy Birds vs. the Three Divine Pillars

"Recover?" Kamishiro's gaze swept over Registeel, who was in perfect condition, and he shook his head. "There's absolutely no need for that. If you think that the battle just now will cause Registeel's stamina to decrease, you're sorely mistaken! It's precisely at moments like this that our perseverance and tenacity are truly demonstrated!"

Perseverance and character, etc...

These are indeed words spoken by the Gods.

Seeing his insistence, Xia You didn't say anything more.

After all, he had just suggested that Shinji recover, simply because he didn't want to take advantage of him. Registeel had also used up some of his strength in the battle with Torkoal, and he didn't want to be accused of an unfair victory after defeating Shinji.

But now that Kamishiro has said so, he can't be blamed.

"Alright, in that case, let's go outside."

Go outside?

Upon hearing this, Shinji didn't react much, but Ash, standing to the side, seemed puzzled.

The battlefield is right beneath their feet, so why go outside?

Just as he was wondering, he saw that Kamishiro didn't say anything, but instead walked out the door first.

Not only him, but also Shinji's assistant Sotaro, Ashida, and even May and Nurse Joy walked out the door together, which surprised Ash even more!

What exactly are these people up to?

In fact, he wasn't the only one who was puzzled. After seeing these people walk out the door together, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Gang were also somewhat confused.

However, Xiaozhi is different from Xiaosheng. Xiaogang has more to think about. He only thought for a moment, and then remembered that Xia You had just been concerned about Registeel's condition, and his heart stirred.

Could this match be...?

The group walked out of the battle pyramid, and not only that, they continued walking towards the red mountain next to it. After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally stopped when they reached the top of the mountain.

By now, even if he was slow to react, Xiao Zhi knew what these people were up to.

They want to use this vast world as a backdrop for their battle!

However, it must be said that being surrounded by valleys, with lush green forests and winding rivers below, and a clear blue sky with white clouds drifting by, it is indeed a good place. Most importantly, because the place is so remote, there is no fear of being disturbed or getting involved in battles.

Xia You and Shen Dai stand facing each other.

A cool mountain breeze blew on the two of them, ruffling their hair.

Looking at the God Era, Xia You smiled and said, "This place is in a very good location. When I arrived at Fennel Valley yesterday, I had already decided to use this place as the battlefield."

However, it is clear that Kamishiro is not the kind of person who would share his sentiments.

Kamishiro then took two more Poké Balls out of his pocket and looked at Xia You: "As per our previous agreement, I will send the three legendary Pokémon to battle you this time. So, where are your Pokémon?"

With a slight smile, Xia You also took out three Super Balls from her waist bag.

"Of course it's here, but before that, let's talk about the competition rules first."

"Oh?" Kamishiro looked at him. "Do you have any different ideas?"

“A regular one-on-one fight is obviously not very exciting and takes too much time. I think we should just go for three-on-three.”

"Three against three?" Shinji frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and finally nodded. "Commanding three Pokémon at the same time in such a complex place requires a high level of skill from both the trainer and the Pokémon themselves. It seems you're very confident in yourself. But that's good. Rather than having them fight one by one in a fixed arena in a monotonous battle, this three-on-three melee is a better test of the Pokémon's true abilities. Okay, I agree!"

In fact, after Xia You brought him here and designated this place as the battlefield, Shen Dai had already realized that today's duel was not a simple fight.

Unexpectedly, Xia You would directly start a three-on-three free-for-all.

But this is just right, it can also help him to clearly see the strength of the young man in front of him, and see if he is really as powerful as the rumors say!

Seeing that both sides had finished their discussion, Sotaro coughed lightly and said to the two, "Then, this battle pyramid challenge is about to begin. First, Pyramid Pharaoh, please send out your Pokémon!"

As soon as Sotaro finished speaking, the Registeel that was outside came directly in front of him. At the same time, he threw two Poké Balls in his hand. The next second, with two flashes of blue light, two Golems that were similar in size and shape to Registeel appeared next to him.

The three Divine Pillars appeared at the same time!

People first looked at the divine pillar to the left of Regischiru. It looked like a combination of a large icicle and several icicles. Its surface was as smooth and translucent as ice. Just standing there, one could feel a chill coming from the ground.

Looking at the pillar to Regice's right, it appears to be made entirely of rock, as if the stone has suddenly been given life. It is not only very heavy but also looks incredibly powerful.

"Regice! Regice! Regirock!" Seeing these three Pokémon gathered together, Nurse Joy's eyes shone with excitement. "I never imagined I would have the honor of seeing the three legendary Pokémon gathered here. This is so exciting!"

The three divine pillars gathered together, though none of them were more than two meters tall, created an overwhelming sense of oppression!

Immediately after the release of the three divine pillars, Shindai and the others all turned their gazes toward Xia You.

Aside from May already knowing which Pokémon Xia You would send, everyone wanted to see what Pokémon this man would use to deal with him.

However, for Xiao Zhi and the others who were familiar with Xia You, they knew more or less about Xia You's legendary Pokémon, so they had a vague idea of ​​who Xia You would send out.

Xia You threw three Ultra Balls into the sky, and as the Ultra Balls opened, people were able to see his Pokémon.

Suddenly, three large birds of different colors appeared high in the sky. Before people could see what they looked like, three loud and exciting bird calls resounded through the sky!

"As expected, they are Xia You's three sacred birds!"

Upon seeing these three Pokémon, Ash exclaimed in surprise. At the same time, he felt a mix of joy at having guessed correctly and a touch of complexity and envy.

Compared to him, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Gang's feelings can only be described as excitement!

The appearance of the three legendary birds meant that today was destined to be a legendary Pokémon battle, and a chaotic one at that! This was a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, and they had actually run into it!

These people were alright, since they knew beforehand that Xia You possessed these three Pokémon. But for Zotaro and Nurse Joy, seeing these three legendary birds appear was undoubtedly even more shocking.

Unexpectedly, Xia You, like Shindai, also caught a legendary Pokémon, specifically the three legendary birds!

Just like the three legendary beasts hold a special place in the hearts of the people of Johto, the three legendary birds are undoubtedly extremely important to the people of Kanto. Therefore, the shock of seeing someone gather all three legendary birds is far greater than the shock of seeing the three legendary pillars!

Moreover, they had witnessed the Age of Gods gradually progress from one to two, and then from two to three, until the three sacred pillars were finally gathered one by one. Because they understood the course of events, they had gradually become accustomed to the process. Naturally, it was impossible for them to feel the same shock as when they saw the three sacred birds at the same time!

"I see, it's Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos." Shindai first looked up at the three legendary birds circling in the sky, and then praised Xia You, "As expected, they are comparable to the three legendary Pokémon. It must have taken you a lot of effort to capture and collect all three of these Pokémon."

Because it took him a long time to gradually find the whereabouts of the three divine pillars by excavating ruins and searching for clues, the God Era naturally understood the hardships involved when he put himself in Xia You's shoes.

"It's alright, I was just lucky to find them."

Upon hearing Xia You's answer, Shen Dai was taken aback at first, then frowned, but nodded slightly.

Indeed, just as Xia You said, encountering legendary Pokémon is the most difficult thing, even more so than catching them!

In fact, many trainers, if they put in their full effort, are capable of defeating a legendary Pokémon. Once they catch the first one, they can use it as a fighting force to catch the second and third Pokémon, making things much easier.

The difficulty lies in the fact that many trainers go through their entire lives without ever encountering a single legendary Pokémon.

If we don't even have this opportunity, how can we talk about subduing them?

Therefore, it must be said that although he dislikes the word "luck" and believes it is an excuse for weak people to avoid failure, sometimes, especially in catching Pokémon, people do need a little luck.

At this moment, after circling a few times, the three sacred birds in the sky also set their sights on the three divine pillars on the ground, their eyes revealing arrogance and disdain.

As seasoned veterans in Xia You's team, they don't need their trainers to say much; they can naturally ignite themselves and reach their best state.

Compared to them, the three Divine Pillars stood there motionless, looking lifeless, just like three puppets in standby mode.

But no one dares to underestimate their power; everyone knows what kind of strength they possess beneath the calm surface!

I don't know if it's just people's imagination, but there's a sense of tension in the air.

Gudong.

Sensing the atmosphere, Xiao Sheng subconsciously swallowed and then started counting on his fingers.

"Mr. Kamishiro's three legendary pillars are ice, rock, and steel, while Mr. Xia You's three legendary birds are flying and fire, flying and ice, and flying and electric. In terms of attributes... oh no, this is so confusing. I can't figure out which one has the advantage."

Hearing his words, Xiao Gang shook his head: "No, this battle cannot be decided solely by attributes. After all, it's a chaotic battle in such a vast environment where the battlefield is constantly changing. Conventional attribute counters are no longer effective."

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng realized that he had been thinking too simply, so he stopped worrying about it and instead stared intently at everything in front of him.

At this point, all six participating Pokémon had made their appearance and were ready. However, before starting, Xia You added a sentence.

"Mr. Kamishiro, the arena for this battle is the entire Fennel Valley. There are no time limits or restrictions on the method. You cannot change your Pokémon during the battle. If one side's entire Pokémon team falls, they lose. What do you think?"

"I have no opinion."

Seeing that Kamishiro nodded, the rules had been agreed upon, and the competition was finally about to begin. Apart from Xia You, Kamishiro, and the referee, Sotaro, everyone moved a little further away to make room for them.

Of course, for such a vast arena, the distance they give way doesn't make a difference, and the fight might not even take place here. But this action is both a long-standing habit of theirs and a sign of respect for the competition.

At Sotaro's command, all six Pokémon acted simultaneously.

Xia You didn't know if the God Era had ever commanded such a battle before, but he and the Three Sacred Birds were extremely experienced. They didn't need his orders at all; the Three Sacred Birds had already reacted instinctively.

They hovered in the air for a moment, then simultaneously unleashed their attacks.

The power of fire, frost, and lightning instantly formed in their mouths and shot towards their respective targets.

It must be said that perhaps because they have been together for so long, or have gone through so many battles together, the three of them have become more and more in sync. Whether it is the opponent they choose for each other, the path they take when moving in the air, or the timing of their attacks, everything is just right. Not only do they not block each other's attack boundaries and cause accidental damage because of each other's actions, but their intersecting yet peaceful flight is dazzling to watch, yet very reasonable.

This meant that although the three attacks were launched simultaneously, they did not interfere with each other. Instead, they intersected in the air and each struck its own target.

Unlike Xia You, the three legendary Pokémon from Age of Gods clearly lacked such tacit understanding and cooperation. Age of Gods himself didn't even have time to issue commands to the three Pokémon simultaneously.

However, under Shinji's command, the three Divine Pillars still made defensive moves in the face of the attack.

The three Titans simultaneously unleashed their electromagnetic cannons, instantly converging three electric orbs in front of them and firing them into the three incoming attacks, creating a violent explosion.

Compared to Ash's previous battles, the energy contained within this explosion was much stronger, and the explosive power was naturally much greater. Just this collision created several thick clouds of smoke in the center of the battlefield.

At the very moment the smoke formed, three identical attacks pierced through the smoke at incredible speed and struck the three Divine Pillars directly!

Chapter 907 Even among the strong, there are differences.

The three legendary birds' reactions and ability to seize opportunities greatly exceeded people's expectations, especially surprising the Gods.

Keep in mind that their trainers didn't say a single word from beginning to end!

They seized the opportunity with remarkable agility, launching an attack and successfully landing their moves. Clearly, they are not the rigid Pokémon that only know how to obey commands, but rather have their own thoughts and the right to attack independently!

This is no simple matter!

After all, some trainers like to control the overall situation when commanding battles. They want every action of the Pokémon on the battlefield to be carried out through their commands and according to their ideas, and absolutely do not allow them to improvise.

However, high-level battlefields often rely on quick, on-the-spot reactions. It's not that commands are unnecessary, but sometimes, waiting for the trainer to assess the situation before issuing orders, and then for the Pokémon to hear and execute them, can be cumbersome and time-consuming, causing many fleeting opportunities to be missed.

Therefore, being able to delegate authority to Pokémon and let them act on their own is a necessary stage for trainers to go through from novice to expert.

Of course, some people are naturally assertive and want to control the whole situation, which is another matter.

For example... Kamishiro himself!
