I caught a Pokémon

However, because he has an extremely calm and composed face, his pressure is not noticeable to outsiders.

Compared to him...

As his opponent at this moment, Kamishiro also subtly sized up Xia You.

I have to admit that the man in front of me looks much more casual and relaxed than I do.

He simply stood there quietly, without saying a word, and with just a few gestures, he could command the three sacred birds, without any urgency, and everything seemed so effortless.

He would only occasionally issue commands by voice when necessary or when the instructions were more complex, but his composure could still be seen through his eyes.

It can be said that compared to giving orders verbally regardless of their status, this is far superior and has a much higher level of sophistication!

Moreover, on a battlefield where explosions are frequent, gestures are more clearly captured by Pokémon than sounds.

But Kamishiro also knew that this man had obviously spent more time with the three legendary birds and had a better understanding with them, which was something that Kamishiro and the three divine pillars could not compare to. Therefore, even though he dared to make such a comparison, which made his aura somewhat weaker, he could not change anything.

All we can do is focus all our efforts on defeating this man and his Pokémon!

With this in mind, Kamishiro abandoned all distractions and became extremely focused. In this state, his insight and command abilities were enhanced once again. As one command after another was issued, the attacks of the three divine pillars became even more threatening!

Influenced by him and sensing the changes in him and the three divine pillars, Xia You felt increased pressure and naturally became more serious in order to deal with the offensive of the Age of Gods.

In fact, after fighting for so long, he had already realized that the three Divine Pillars of the Age of Gods were no match for the three legendary birds.

Of course, this was an inevitable result.

Putting aside the fact that they have been traveling and fighting for so long, the three legendary birds are far ahead of the three divine pillars in terms of experience, strength, and teamwork. Moreover, they have the powerful weapon of the three birds' combined attack. To lose, one would have to make a major mistake!

Given his personality, how could he possibly allow such a situation to occur?

Moreover, Xia You had only recently gathered the three divine pillars, and he didn't believe that the Age of Gods would have developed a similar technique as the Three Birds Combo.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle was already predictable.

However, he did not use a clean and decisive approach or go all out to directly defeat the three divine pillars. Instead, he had his three legendary birds engage the three divine pillars through various forms of frontal breakthroughs, harassment, sneak attacks, and entanglement, gradually depleting their stamina.

The purpose of doing this is simple: although it increases the risk of battle, it is to continue to hone the strength of the three legendary birds in battles against Pokémon of the same level!

This also shows that Xia You really likes to become stronger through this method!

However, no matter how long and intense the battle, it will eventually come to an end.

Regice, who had just blocked the attack of the three legendary birds, became the first weak point.

Having already suffered severe injuries, it couldn't last long in this protracted battle. Even with its extremely high Special Defense, it was gradually worn down and finally fell to the ground first under Moltres's Heat Wave.

The body, which was once as smooth as a mirror, is now covered in wounds. As the giant ice pillar crashed down, it created a chain reaction, like dominoes falling.

In the previous battle, the three Titans stood in a triangular formation, which allowed them to rely on each other, like an air defense position, resulting in a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

But now, with the fall of the ice pillar Regice, the entire position has been breached at the same time.

Despite this, Xia You did not press her advantage.

As his opponent's strength declined, he changed his strategy, abandoning long-range combat and instead adopting close-range harassment tactics!

To be honest, compared to the previous ranged attrition battles, the three Divine Pillars are obviously more suited to close combat.

But the three sacred birds are just as good!

Moreover, one of the three pillars has already fallen. Four fists can't withstand six claws. No matter how skilled they are, the situation doesn't seem optimistic given their numerical disadvantage.

The gods themselves were aware of this.

Even though he only has two Pokémon left to command after losing one of the Titans, the close-quarters combat means that moves are often executed very quickly, leaving almost no time to react. Therefore, it is even more mentally taxing than before!

Previously, Kamishiro had focused his attention and put all his mind on the battle, but now, the intense battle was forcing him to be even more focused!

Compared to him, perhaps because of his youth or stronger willpower, Xia You didn't seem to have that feeling and still appeared calm and unhurried.

But at this moment, Kamishiro no longer had the energy to look at him.

Overwhelmed and dazzled by the successive attacks from the three sacred birds, and their rapid passage past him, Shindai was unable to concentrate on anything else.

It's important to know that Shinobu had played doubles before; on the contrary, he was quite skilled at it, almost as good as he was at singles.

But this is no ordinary battle between Pokémon; it's a chaotic melee, and even more so, a legendary battle between Pokémon!

This was something that people like the Gods had never encountered before.

Facing the legendary birds, whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary Pokémon, he must be fully focused in order to quickly discern information and issue the correct commands amidst intense chaos.

Despite this, as the three sacred birds launched wave after wave of attacks at a rapid pace, amidst a chorus of bird calls, the other two divine pillars were quickly defeated.

Xia You defeated them without even using the Three Birds Combined Attack.

This also shows that the three legendary birds, who have been through many battles, are much stronger than the three divine pillars, who have only recently been assembled!

Most importantly, Xia You's fighting style is just like that, giving Shen Dai no chance at all!

It was truly a double suppression from both the Pokémon and the Trainer.

Boom...

Regirock and Registeel's enormous, golem-like bodies collapsed with a crash, almost simultaneously following in Regice's footsteps.

Looking at the three fallen divine pillars, Shindai frowned deeply and remained silent for a long time.

We lost...

He was extremely serious throughout the fight and truly gave it his all, but unexpectedly, he still lost in the end.

That wasn't the main issue. What made him extremely uncomfortable was that he couldn't find any way to turn the tide throughout the entire match. It was as if he was constantly trapped in his opponent's rhythm and suppressed from beginning to end!

This was a situation that Kamishiro had never encountered since his debut, and it left him with a deep sense of powerlessness.

This shows just how much pressure Xia You put on him.

Unbelievable...

Thinking about all this, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of apprehension and... curiosity towards the young man in front of him.

If he is as powerful as the rumors say!

only……

How did he manage to do that at his age?

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends, who were watching from the sidelines, fell into a brief silence upon seeing Shinji lose so easily.

"Mr. Kamishiro... he lost just like that?" It took Ash a few seconds to come to his senses, but he was still somewhat incredulous at the result. "How come it seems like Xia You didn't exert much effort?"

Compared to his previous battle with Shinji, watching the whole thing made Ash feel like he and Xia You were from two different worlds.

Moreover, it's unbelievable that such a powerful Mr. Kamishiro, with his three legendary Pokémon, was beaten so badly in front of Xia You.

“Yes…” Xiao Gang also sighed, “Although this battle lasted a long time and looked very intense, it was actually Mr. Xia You’s three sacred birds that were constantly suppressing Mr. Kamishiro’s three divine pillars. Mr. Kamishiro was not able to pose any effective threat to Mr. Xia You at all.”

Hearing their conversation, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that even the strongest Pyramid Pharaoh in the Frontier Zone can't beat the champions of the three tournaments!"

Ashida, standing to the side, felt somewhat embarrassed to hear these people discussing the Age of Gods right in front of her.

He coughed lightly and chuckled dryly, "Mr. Kamishiro is a very strong person, it's just that the opponent he encountered this time was even stronger. Alright, now that the battle is over, let's hurry over there."

At this moment, Sotaro, as Shinjiro's apprentice, carefully observed his master's expression and then announced loudly, "Regice, Regirock, and Registeel are unable to fight. The winner of this pioneering challenge is—Challenger Xia You!"

His words naturally startled Shindai, who shook his head slightly, then took out a Poké Ball and recalled the three unconscious Registars.

On the other side, after soaring in the sky for a few circles, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos also folded their wings and landed beside their trainers.

Xia You's gaze swept over them one by one, and she stepped forward, walking up to the Divine Era.

Not only him, but also Ash and his friends, Ashida, and Nurse Joy arrived here at this moment.

Xia You was about to say something to Shen Dai, but before he could speak, Miss Joey's eyes shone with excitement as she exclaimed admiringly, "Mr. Xia You! You're amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen a battle like this! It's so exciting!!"

Xia You smiled at the overly enthusiastic Miss Joey and then turned her gaze back to Kamishiro.

At this moment, Kamishiro spoke up: "I lost this match, young man. You are indeed very strong. You are the strongest trainer I have ever seen since your debut."

Given Kamishiro's personality, the fact that he could give such an evaluation shows that he was truly convinced of his defeat after this battle.

However, he was not a good talker, so it was already quite remarkable that he had managed to say this much. After he finished speaking, he didn't care what Xia You would say and directly took out a medal from his pocket and handed it to Xia You.

"This is my symbol of heroism, proof of my defeat. Please accept it."

Seeing this symbol, which gleamed like a gold coin in the sunlight, Xia You and Xiao Zhi had different expressions.

Xia You naturally thanked him and accepted the symbol with a smile, while Xiao Zhi could only look on with envy.

There's nothing we can do; he lost.

Seeing that Xia You had finally collected all the symbols, Xiao Yao and the others, as her friends, applauded and celebrated. Amid the applause, Ashida walked up to Xia You.

“Mr. Xia You, collecting all the symbols means you have dominated the entire Battle Frontier Zone and are now eligible to enter the Battle Frontier Zone's Hall of Fame.” He said with a smile, “Now, please hand over all the medals to me, and I will prepare your certificate.”

Upon hearing his words, Xia You handed over the Heroic Symbol she had just obtained, along with the other six symbols she had acquired before, to Ashida.

After receiving these symbols, Ashida asked, "Um... I wonder if Mr. Xia You would like to stay and become a Pioneer Brain?"

"Huh!?"

When Ash and the others heard that Ash wanted Xia You to stay and become the Explorer Brain, they were all taken aback.

Seeing their reaction, Ashida laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand, this is just our rule for the Battle Frontier. In fact, every trainer who dominates the Battle Frontier is qualified to stay and become the Frontier Brain. I was just asking as usual."

"Ah, I see."

Xiao Zhi and the others nodded in realization, then turned their gazes to Xia You. Although they all had their own guesses, they still wanted to see how he would respond to the invitation.

Chapter 909: I've lost count of how many times I've encountered Ayako.

Without almost any hesitation, Xia You gave her answer directly.

Looking at Ashida, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't plan to stay in one place for the time being."

Hearing his answer, even though Ashida had already guessed what he would say, she was still very disappointed.

You must understand that Xia You is no ordinary person. Although he is the only one who has dominated the Battle Frontier, he is far stronger than other trainers who have successfully defeated Generation!

If we really keep him, it will instantly boost the reputation and overall strength of the entire Battle Frontier!

Even the reputation of the Battle Frontier will spread to Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn simultaneously, attracting a steady stream of challengers who come to challenge it. This will undoubtedly play a significant role in promoting the development of the entire Battle Frontier.

It can be said that one person can change the entire landscape of the battle frontier!

Unfortunately, their battle zone was too small a temple to retain Xia You, this great god.

Moreover, to put it bluntly, a mere local-level Battle Pioneer position is simply beneath someone who holds three regional tournament championship titles!

Despite his disappointment, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "Please wait a moment while I go and make the Certificate of Expansion."

After leaving those words, Ashida, with his not-so-nimble steps and slightly overweight body, quickly ran towards the Battle Pyramid.

After he left, Ash also came to Age of the Gods.

"Mr. Kamishiro, although I failed this challenge, I will not give up! I will start special training immediately, and once I have adjusted my condition and team, I will come back to challenge you again!"

“I’ll welcome you anytime.” Kamishiro nodded. “Actually, it’s not just you. After these two battles today, I’ve also realized my shortcomings. From now on, I will work harder to train myself.”

Unexpectedly, a legendary battle between Pokémon also brought out Shinji's indomitable spirit.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could someone as skilled as him be so easily defeated by someone younger?

After issuing another challenge to Shinji, Ash turned to look at Xia You.

"Brother Xia You, I'll be staying here until I defeat Mr. Kamishiro, so what about you...?"

Ash understood that Xia You's purpose in coming to Kanto was the same as his own: to challenge the Battle Frontier.

Xia You has already succeeded in doing so, but he himself has not yet achieved it. According to the travel goals that the two of them had agreed on before, it seems that Xia You will be heading to the next region for his next trip.

For Xiao Zhi, who has always wanted to catch up with Xia You, this will undoubtedly make him feel like he has fallen further behind.

Knowing what he was worried about, Xia You shook her head and couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to start my adventure in the next region so soon. Although things here are over, I need to go back to the Kalos region before heading to Sinnoh."

Carlos region?

Upon hearing about this place, Xiao Zhi and the others, though unsure of its exact location, knew it was a very distant continent, and Xia You... seemed to have come from there!

Is that Xia Youge's hometown?

Although it's unclear why Xia You wanted to return there, it was undoubtedly good news for Xiao Zhi.
