I caught a Pokémon

Just then, a water gun flashed past, instantly striking the positively charged patter, interrupting its dance and knocking it back to the ground.

Most importantly, it broke the rhythm of the two claps!

Sure enough, because his companion was suddenly knocked away, the other negatively charged person instinctively froze on the spot.

what! ?

When Ulala came to her senses, she looked up and saw the croaking frog standing in the distance, facing this direction, while behind it, the man named Xia You was also watching this place.

For Xia You, keeping the Frog by her side was both to better command it and for this very moment.

With his keen insight, Froakie will use this method to harass the two Patters whenever he has the chance, preventing them from using their combined attack smoothly. And if one of them is affected, the other will naturally be greatly affected as well, thus disrupting the opponent's attack rhythm.

Just then, under Rukia's command, Riolu arrived in front of the Negative Magnus and launched a move.

A pair of dog paws struck the negatively charged patty one after the other, causing damage and sending it flying backward, crashing next to the positively charged patty.

Ulala never expected that, despite having the superior strength on paper, it was the two Pokémon that were injured in the very first exchange!

How did you do it?

Although she was somewhat surprised, she attributed the incident to her own carelessness.

After all, if I had been more careful, the positively charged Magnus wouldn't have been attacked. And if the positively charged Magnus hadn't been knocked away, its combined attack with the negatively charged Magnus would have been successfully completed, thus damaging Riolu!

It can be said that the subsequent chain reaction was caused by not noticing the water gun of the Froggy Frog.

But clearly, Ulala did not realize the seriousness of the situation.

After the two Pat-Pats got up, under her command, they tried to use their combined attack again. At that moment, even though Ulala was keeping a close eye on Froakie and paying attention to its movements, Froakie launched another water gun attack in a split second when Riolu suddenly moved, briefly attracting her attention.

Blue water streaks across the sky.

Although Ulala immediately noticed the attack after the water gun was fired and promptly ordered his two Patty to dodge, this dodging inevitably prevented the two Patty from successfully using their combined attack.

This undoubtedly caused them to be delayed again.

On the contrary, Riolu, with support and restraint from a distance, launched another move against Viper.

Fortunately, the speed of the negatively charged pound exceeded that of Riolu, which caused Riolu's attack to miss. Nevertheless, it still put a lot of pressure on Ulala.

Even so, she still didn't consider the water gun the key to the matter. Instead, she was glad that she had discovered the water gun in time, thus breaking up the opponent's coordinated attack.

But as the battle continued, when Froakie used its water gun again to disrupt the rhythm of the two patters for the third time, even she, as slow as she was, finally realized that something was wrong.

In fact, apart from the first combined attack, she was never able to unleash a successful combined attack again due to the interference of Froakie's water gun!

Without the combined attack, the two slaps' attack power is greatly reduced, and they can no longer inflict any effective damage on the opponent.

At that moment, she finally shifted her attention from Riolu, which had been attacking at close range, to the Water-type Pokémon in the distance that was weak to Electric-type attacks!

I also truly realized that the key to everything lies in this Pokémon!

No, the real cause of this situation should be the man who is directing the croaking frog!

Chapter 927 Xiaoyao: Why would I say "again"?

Under Ulala's command, the two Patters abandoned Riolu and instead set their sights on Froakie.

In fact, because of their elemental weaknesses, Ulala didn't take this Froakie Frog seriously at the beginning of the battle.

In her view, with two Electric-type Pokémon in hand, a Pokémon whose type is weak to hers poses no threat at all.

But in retrospect, it was undoubtedly a miscalculation.

Electric-type moves do indeed deal double damage to Water-type Pokémon, that's for sure. But Water-type attacks on Electric-type Pokémon also suffer no damage reduction, the power of the moves is real!

Putting aside the issue of disrupting the attack rhythm, simply letting the Froakie attack relentlessly would quickly deplete the two Pat-Pats' stamina. They could no longer afford to ignore it.

As for splitting up like Xia You and Liu Qiya, letting the two Pat-Pats act independently to deal with their respective opponents...

Ulala neither wanted to nor dared to.

As most people know, Maximus and Maximus are 'power-up Pokémon', and they are better at teaming up with other Pokémon. If they fight alone, not only will they waste their characteristics and abilities, but they will also be unable to unleash their full potential, which is really not worth it.

Therefore, unless someone is particularly fond of them, or only wants to use them in double battles, or has a special requirement such as charging their equipment, no one would easily let them go out alone. Even if they are not paired with another Pokémon, they will at least be paired with another Pokémon.

Since Ulala has allowed both Pat Pat to fight together, it's unlikely that they would be allowed to fight separately unless absolutely necessary.

However, such matters must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and one should not be too rigid.

If your thinking becomes fixed, and you only know how to maximize harm while ignoring the actual situation, then you will really end up shooting yourself in the foot.

Just like Ulala is now.

She didn't want to give up the buff effect between the two rackets, but she also wanted to maximize the results. She wanted to do both, which can be described as very greedy.

This method might be fine when battling other trainers, but against opponents of Xia You and Liukia's caliber, it would undoubtedly expose more weaknesses.

"Froggy Frog, use foam!"

Seeing the two patters rushing towards the Froggy Frog, Xia You remained calm and gave the order. This time, the Froggy Frog did not use the bundle-like solid foam on its back and neck, but instead opened its mouth and sprayed out a large amount of water-filled bubbles!

In an instant, these bubbles left the frog's mouth and rapidly grew larger in the air, covering a large open area in front of the frog.

At this moment, the two Pat-Pats had rushed close, but looking at the slowly floating bubbles in front of them, they knew that beneath these crystal-clear and beautiful exteriors lay troublesome water-based energy, just like water mines. If they accidentally touched them, they would inevitably suffer some damage. Therefore, they dared not be careless and subconsciously stopped in their tracks.

After all, they had already suffered some injuries during the recent exertion and did not want to endure any more harm.

Therefore, a safe method must be used to pass through this area smoothly.

They now face two different choices.

The first and most straightforward method is to use an electric shock to break the bubbles, which also allows you to launch an attack on the bubble frog. This is probably the first choice for most training sessions.

The second option, however, will waste some energy. It involves going around the bubbles, avoiding the minefield, and launching an attack from the flank.

In Ulala's opinion, both methods were effective and there was no difference between them. So after a slight hesitation, just to be on the safe side, she had the patters activate the electric shock directly outside the bubble.

After all, these bubbles will eventually become a problem if they keep floating there, so why not destroy them all at once?

The two patters started dancing again.

This time, however, because of its own bubble barrier, the Froggy Frog did not intervene.

As the Positive and Negative Mlswipes spun and danced, a powerful electric current formed in their hands as they stopped and their palms touched, shooting rapidly toward the nearby Froakie.

However, what Ulala didn't know was that this was exactly what Xia You wanted!

When he commanded the Froggy Frog to use the foam, he had already guessed that Ulala would make this choice.

Therefore, he deliberately made the bubbles spewed by the Froggy Frog denser, more numerous, and larger, and made them gather together, as a suggestion to Ulala, making her subconsciously feel troubled by these bubbles. This would undoubtedly make her feel uneasy about these bubbles deep down and want to destroy them to prevent future troubles.

This led her to make that decision directly.

A powerful electric current flashed by, easily puncturing the bubbles.

But at the same moment, as these bubbles burst, a large amount of water vapor contained within them was released, and amidst a sound like water vapor dissolving, it filled most of the arena!

The powerful current generated by the positively and negatively charged clappers seemed to be rapidly diluted in the water mist, leaving only increasingly faint electric light, until finally it all disappeared!

Eh?

What's going on here?!

This change was completely unexpected by Ulala, and she couldn't hide the shock on her face, her eyes widening in surprise!

After all, in her mind, the powerful electric current from the two patters would directly shatter these bubbles and reach the other side. Even if it couldn't hit the Froggy Frog, it would at least force it to escape.

How could it have turned out like this?

Under such a powerful electric current, shouldn't even the moisture contained in the foam evaporate completely?

Why is there so much water vapor instead, and why has it caused the current to disappear?

Just as she was lost in thought, she saw two rapid footsteps sound behind her amidst the scattered mist. The next second, Riolu, commanded by Rukia, had also arrived.

Attracted by the mist, Urara completely failed to notice Riolu's arrival.

Not only that, even the Froggy Frog disappeared into the mist. By the time Ulala came to her senses, her two patters had been attacked from both sides!

"not good!!"

She cried out in surprise and hurriedly tried to get the two Magikarp to attack, but Ryukia and Xia You coordinated perfectly and gave the command Quick Attack at the same time. With the help of the move, Riolu and Froakie's speed suddenly increased, and they arrived in front of the two Magikarp before they could make their move!

Both the positively charged and negatively charged patters were greatly surprised.

Now, they no longer cared about using any combined attacks or the pre-attack animations for their moves, and instead fled in panic under the urging of Riolu and Froakie, separating for the first time and going to different sides of the battlefield.

But this separation also meant that their defeat was inevitable.

Without being able to fight side by side, two Beaters are no different from ordinary Pokémon.

The negatively charged Machoke, which battled Riolu, was the first to be defeated. After Riolu turned around to support Froakie, the positively charged Machoke also fell down.

This match has now come to an end.

Despite their initial fierce performance, Ulala's two Pokémon were ultimately defeated by Xia You's restraint and Liukia's offensive, following in the footsteps of Garchomp.

Damn it!!

Seeing this, Ulala turned pale with anger, but because of what Ryukia had said before the battle, she couldn't find any excuses. She could only grit her teeth, silently take out a Poké Ball, recall the two unconscious Patches, and then turn around and quickly leave.

The people who had been watching the match gave Xia You and Liu Qiya a warm round of applause and cheers.

It has to be said that this battle was an eye-opener for them, just like watching the quarterfinals of a Pokémon tournament!

Despite facing a formidable opponent, the two trainers' excellent command turned the tide of battle into an advantage, achieving a remarkable comeback victory – it was incredibly exciting to watch!

Waving to the people around her, Ryukia ran happily and with a smile to Xia You's side, then hugged his arm tightly.

How did I do?

She raised her pretty face, and although her eyes were hidden behind sunglasses, Xia You could still see the expectant look in her eyes that said, "Praise me!"

"You performed very well." Xia You did not disappoint her, nodding with a smile and praising, "Putting aside the fact that it was your first time working together, you were able to coordinate so well with my Riolu and command so well. In the battle just now, you also had several wonderful combinations with me. It's clear that you are really talented!"

Ryukia's smile widened, and she even tightened her grip on Xia You.

Xia You naturally benefited passively.

However, Ryukia didn't care about this. After waving to the people around her, she waited for Xia You to recall his Pokémon and then left the park with Xia You.

……

At this moment, May, who had just finished her intense training, was sitting in the Pokémon Center's restaurant, waiting for her brother Xia You to come back for dinner.

She was starving after practicing all afternoon, but despite that, she patiently waited for the man to return.

But she never expected that Xia You would bring another woman back after he went out!

Eh?

strangeness……

Why did I say "again"?

When she saw what the woman looked like, she was even more shocked!

Who did she see?!

Of course, it was Ryukia, whom Xiaoxia had been extremely wary of and considered her number one rival and biggest threat!

How could she be here?!?

Haruka's feelings upon seeing Rukia here can be described as shock, panic, and helplessness.

After all, considering the task Xiaoxia had given her, whether it was because she was Xiaoxia's best friend or because of her own feelings, she didn't want to see Ryukia appear by Xia You's side!

And most importantly, Xia isn't here at all right now. How am I supposed to defend myself when I'm all alone?!

Especially when she saw Ryukia's smiling face, as if half of her body was leaning on Xia You, Xiaoyao felt tears welling up in her eyes at that moment.

But it has to be said that when this man and woman walked into the restaurant, if you ignored the wry smile on Xia You's face and saw how intimate they were, you would really think that Ryukia was his girlfriend!

After all, her temperament is so sunny and cheerful. Her face always seems to have a bright smile on it. She exudes youthful and fashionable vibes and is full of energy. Everyone would subconsciously ignore her age because of her liveliness and cuteness and feel that having such a girlfriend must be a blessing!

This led to the two of them walking together, and finally sitting down in front of Xiaoyao, attracting the attention and envy of those around them...

Fortunately, Rukia hasn't taken off her glasses yet; otherwise, it would have been even more sensational.

On the way here, Xia You had already told Rukia that Xiaoyao was traveling with her, so Rukia was not surprised to see this girl. Instead, she smiled and waved to her.

Actually, this wasn't the first time these two had met.

The two had met before at the Hoenn Grand Festival, but at that time, Rukia's attention was focused on Misty, and she didn't have a deep impression of Haruka. She only knew that Haruka was Xia You's friend, and their relationship wasn't very close. But now, seeing the two of them together, she had to raise the importance of Haruka in Xia You's heart and their relationship by several levels.
