I caught a Pokémon

That must be the man's name, right?

Upon hearing Ryukia's words, Ulala subconsciously turned her head and saw Xia You shaking her head and smiling wryly.

However, she was completely unfamiliar with both Xia You's face and his name, and naturally wouldn't make any connection to them.

But from these words, it's clear that this man named Xia You is actually more powerful than this young girl!

What are their origins?

How come I've never heard of these two people before?!

As the man so admired by Ryukia, and also as the person involved, Xia You felt a bit amused and exasperated.

He knew very well what kind of person Ulala was.

If I were to fight her, even if I defeated her, there would be no conflict between us. I could simply leave, and she wouldn't bother with a grown man.

But with Rukia's involvement, the meaning becomes completely different.

Putting aside the fact that the two have such incompatible auras, just the fact that Rukia defeated Garchomp so easily, and the verbal exchange between them, will inevitably make both of them resentful of Ulala, thus creating an extra enemy for no reason.

Of course, having one more enemy or one less enemy doesn't really make a difference. Even if you offend Ulala to death, a young girl like her can't do anything to them.

Besides, Ryukia didn't do anything, nor did she directly provoke Ulala. She even kindly stood up for her. But that's just Ulala's personality. Even if you don't provoke her, she will still take the initiative to cause trouble for you.

Anyone who opposes her will definitely attract her attention.

However, he didn't care about any of that.

What truly frustrated him was that Rukia was pampering him way too much!

Although the two didn't interact much and had only met three or four times, for some reason, she gave him the same feeling as Xia back then—an undisguised affection, an unhidden liking, and even her behavior was much bolder than Xia's!

How is this going?

Do I really have that much charm?

Or is it, as Xiaoxia complained before, that she really is some kind of heartbreaker, specializing in capturing the hearts of these young girls?

For him, it is certainly a proud thing to have people who like him, let alone a very popular idol!

This is something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of!

But after what happened with Serena, even though Xiaoxia and Xiaoyao have changed, he still remains cautious and dares not make any mistakes!

And most importantly...

Serena, Misty, Haruka, and Rukia—who among them is easy to deal with?

As the powder keg piles up, it will inevitably explode sooner or later when these people meet!

It sends chills down my spine just thinking about it...

At this moment, although Ulala was defeated and very surprised, she still refused to admit it.

"Don't get cocky." She snorted. "Garuda isn't my strongest Pokémon. Don't think that just because you beat it you're better than me! See my Electric and Electric Viper? What I'm really good at is double battles!"

This is a classic case of being stubborn and refusing to admit defeat.

It was just a polite remark, but Ryukia didn't put up with it at all.

"Really?" she said with a smile. "Then I can give you another chance. How about this? There are two of us here. We'll each send out a Pokémon, which will be perfect for a double battle against your Electric Maximus and Electric Maximus!"

Actually, Ulala didn't want to fight Ryukia anymore at this point.

After all, this Rapidash was just too strong. Even if she switched to Positive and Negative Velociraptor, she didn't feel like she had much of a chance of winning.

And she just lied too.

That was the Garchomp that was defeated; it was already her strongest Pokémon!

Even Garchomp is powerless against it, so what's the point of sending out two Pokémon that are even weaker than it?

But having already spoken, and with the other party refusing to budge an inch, Ulala was in a bind and had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere.

"Okay...okay." She tried to appear fearless, but her hesitant tone betrayed her. However, she had a sudden inspiration and hummed, "Although I'm very good at doubles, I don't have my strongest pair with me. These two Pudges haven't been trained for very long, so they're not very strong. Therefore, you must send out Pokémon of similar strength to them to ensure a fair battle!"

All I can say is that this move is indeed very good.

By proactively admitting the weakness of her Pokémon, Ulala achieved two goals at once: she not only provided an excuse for her failure but also prevented Xia You and Liukia from sending out powerful Pokémon like Rapidash!

It is indeed quite remarkable that someone could come up with such a strategy in an instant.

This did indeed put Ryukia in a somewhat difficult position.

After all, her focus has now shifted from being a trainer coordinator to being an idol, so she doesn't carry many Pokémon with her, only two in total: Rapidash and her most trusted partner, Altaria.

If it's a competition of who's stronger, she naturally has no fear. Both of her Pokémon are extremely powerful, and she would dare to challenge even the Elite Four.

However, she was powerless to send out relatively weak Pokémon at this time.

There's nothing I can do; my abilities simply don't allow it!

Fortunately, Xia You noticed her predicament and, not wanting Ryukia to lose face in front of Ulala, waved to Froakie and Riolu behind her.

Seeing Ryukia looking over, Xia You chuckled, "It's okay, you can use my Pokémon too."

Chapter 926 Cooperation with Ryukia

"Huh? Using your Pokémon!?"

Rukia looked at Xia You in surprise, not expecting him to take the initiative and even suggest using his Pokémon!

Then she looked down at Froakie and Riolu. Although she knew that these two were probably newly captured Pokémon, Lucia couldn't help but feel a surge of joy!

It goes without saying what kind of relationship would allow someone to lend their Pokémon to another person.

If they weren't close friends, why would they hand over control of their Pokémon to an outsider?

Especially since this man in front of us is no ordinary trainer. With such achievements, his Pokémon are undoubtedly even more precious!

To put it another way, what is the relationship between myself and Mr. Xia You...?

hey-hey! !

It's worth it to have given my sincere heart!

On the other hand, upon hearing that the two were going to share a Pokémon, Ulala not only did not object, but was secretly delighted.

Why is this?

The answer can actually be found in the appearance of Froakie and Riolu.

Although she had never seen Froakie before and it was probably another non-Sinnoh Pokémon, she knew from the aura emanating from these two Pokémon that their strength was definitely not as good as the Rapidash from before!

This is undoubtedly good news for her!

After all, compared to a Pokémon as powerful as Rapidash, such an opponent would undoubtedly increase her chances of winning, which was an excellent opportunity for Ulala, who desperately needed to save face!

Furthermore, if you entrust the Pokémon to someone else to command, there will definitely be problems with teamwork. What kind of synergy and combat power can such a combination have?

Therefore, faced with this situation, she would not stop it; on the contrary, she would hope that the battle could proceed as soon as possible!

Xia You and Liu Qiya naturally had no idea what Ulala was thinking. The two walked together, and Xia You handed over the command of Riolu to Liu Qiya, whispered a few instructions to Riolu, and also explained the moves and characteristics that Riolu knew to Liu Qiya.

As a smart and capable girl, Rukia gained a general understanding of Riolu's abilities after only hearing it once.

Her friendly and sweet smile immediately won Riolu's favor. Riolu knew that she was a friend of his trainer and, through her aura, sensed that Rukia was kind and energetic, and knew that she was not a bad person.

In this way, at least there will be no conflict during communication.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Ulala frowned and couldn't help but urge, "Are you all done yet?!"

"What's the rush?" Rukia glanced back, and with just one sentence, her expression changed drastically. "Are you in such a hurry to lose another match?"

It's clear that the more willful and capricious a person is, the more they need someone like Ryukia to deal with them!

She's prettier than you, stronger than you, has a more outstanding temperament, and is just as eloquent. You could say that Ryukia completely outclasses Ulala in every way.

If it were someone like Haruka, who isn't very good with words, she would definitely be bullied by Ulala!

This left Ulala feeling angry, but she was completely helpless against Rukia, who, despite her sweet and cute appearance, exuded a powerful aura.

Especially after she had already lost a game, she was even less confident.

Fortunately, Xia You and Liu Qiya only communicated for a short while before they finished their discussion and stood together in front of Ulala.

Looking at this woman, Rukia couldn't help but laugh again, extending her right index finger and gently waving it at her: "Let me make this clear beforehand, don't say we're bullying you! You saw it too, the two Pokémon we sent out were only recently caught. Whether it's teamwork or strength, they still have a long way to go. They're nowhere near as in sync as your Electric and Neutral Minions seem. If we still win, don't bother making excuses!"

Just as Rukia said, if Ulala finds out their identities later and realizes that one of them is the tournament champion and the other is a glamorous idol, she will definitely think that the two of them are bullying the weak!

But by speaking out now, Ryukia let Ulala know that she was only battling two beginner Pokémon. This way, even if she found out later, she wouldn't have anything to say.

From this perspective, although Rukia is still young, her thoughts are very thoughtful.

No wonder he's an idol! People in the entertainment industry really do things differently from ordinary people!

Ulala snorted coldly.

With a wave of her hand, the two Positive and Negative Electric Beetles beside her, one red and one blue, which looked like standing rabbits, took a few steps forward and stood in front of Ulala, facing Xia You's Froakie and Riolu.

Speaking of which, although the Pokémon Maximus and Maximus Negative have different names and slightly different colors and physical characteristics, they are actually just different categories of the same species. The biggest difference is that they are like the positive and negative poles of a battery. They are originally from the same source, but they are different from each other.

But don't assume they represent male and female respectively.

In fact, whether they are positively charged or negatively charged clappers, they each have their own male and female sexes within their respective categories, and are not, as most people naturally assume, a pair of red and blue clappers.

Xia You has encountered many positively charged and negatively charged Magnus along her journey, such as the two wild ones in Ralts City, and many trainers who carry them, such as Ranger Hinata. Therefore, she has a certain understanding of these Pokémon.

This also led him to say that these Pokémon belong to the "Cheer Up Pokémon" category, but they cannot evolve. They have always been the same since birth. Rather than fighting on their own, they are better at fighting by cheering on their partners. This allows them to complement each other when they come together, creating a stronger force like "one plus one equals three"!

This also means that even though Ulala, the trainer, is somewhat unreliable, Xia You will not underestimate these two Pokémon. After all, these two Pokémon are very compatible even without much training!

Especially when your own Froakie is at a disadvantage in terms of type!

With these two Electric-type Pokémon here, you can imagine how difficult this battle will be for Froakie.

This is why Xia You didn't give Froakie to Ryukia, but instead gave Riolu to her.

After all, this is Froakie's first type-reverse battle since it was caught, and also its first double battle. It lacks both strength and experience, so only by personally commanding can it perhaps find a sliver of a chance to win in this desperate situation.

Fortunately, he could also sense that these two raccoons weren't very strong, so there was still a chance of winning.

With all four Pokémon ready, the battle officially began.

At the start, under Ulala's command, the two Pat-Pats danced in unison. After spinning around once, they clapped their hands together, and a strong bolt of electricity formed in their palms, striking Froakie and Riolu.

This bolt of lightning was undoubtedly much stronger than ordinary electricity; its immense power could be felt even with the naked eye.

This is precisely the unique ability of these two Pokémon!

Faced with such an attack, Xia You and Liu Qiya exchanged a glance. Although they did not communicate, they understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Froggy Frog, use the water gun!"

Turning their attention away, Xia You and Liu Qiya each gave their orders. Just as Froakie was spitting out water guns in an attempt to block the electric current, Riolu ran to the side, preparing to launch an attack from the flank.

A not-too-thick stream of water flashed through the air, hitting the electric current squarely. Although it blocked the current, the current was diverted through the water and quickly flowed toward the croaking frog.

Xia You had naturally considered this point long ago, and just as his goal was achieved, he gave another order to make the Frog stop using its water gun.

The moment the water droplets stopped, the electric current also dissipated.

It can be said that Xia You used the conductivity of water, and with just one water gun shot and perfect timing, easily broke the combined powerful electric shock of the two pats.

At the same time, as it strode closer, Riolu rushed toward the two Pokémon.

This is where the advantage of having two trainers comes in, allowing Xia You and Liu Qiya to issue different commands simultaneously.

On the other hand, although Ulala's Pokémon was stronger, she had just turned her attention away from the electric shock and water gun when Riolu arrived. She could only brace herself and deal with the attack from that direction.

Under Ryukia's command, Riolu used Quick Attack at the right time, which made its already fast speed increase even more!

Fortunately, both Pokémon, including the positively charged and negatively charged Magikarp, are known for their speed. Just as the lightning was about to hit them, both Pokémon dodged simultaneously, avoiding Riolu's attack.

Seeing that their opponent was getting so close, Ulala naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

"Use the electric shock immediately!"

At her command, the two paws started dancing again, and then tried to clap their hands again to shock Riolu.
