I caught a Pokémon

But just as Xia You said, now that he has become the father of a ghost, he can no longer continue the research. To him, these materials are no different from waste paper. On the contrary, keeping these materials here will only remind them of their tragic experiences back then.

After a moment of silence, she nodded gently.

"You can do whatever you want with these things. I'll listen to you, and I believe my father won't say anything."

With the ghost girl's approval, Xia You naturally wouldn't hold back.

He went to the side and called the handsome guy again.

The phone rang for a while before it was answered.

"It's Brother Xia You!" The handsome man's voice sounded a little tired. He yawned and said in a hoarse voice, "I saw the message you sent me last night. Don't worry, I'll send someone over in a bit."

It turns out the handsome guy thought Xia You was calling to urge him on!

"I'm sorry, the plan has changed." Xia You apologized first, then said, "I've taken care of things here, and I'll find a place to mail the documents I mentioned before."

Given his relationship with Xia You, the handsome man didn't take it to heart when he heard this. Instead, he yawned widely and said, "That's good. I've been staying up late these past few days collecting clues and haven't had enough sleep. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go catch up on some sleep."

Hearing that he was about to hang up, Xia You quickly called him back.

"Wait a minute, although I don't need your help with this anymore, there's another thing I'd like to ask you for help with."

Upon hearing this, the handsome man forced himself to stay alert: "Oh? What is it?"

Xia You revealed her purpose.

However, it's not a big deal. They just want to find some workers to repair the main structure of the manor so that this dilapidated manor can stand for a few more centuries.

Of course, Xia You didn't mention that there were five ghosts here, or that she did this because of the ghosts. She just told the handsome guy that she had accidentally discovered and taken a liking to this place. Seeing that it was an unclaimed manor, she wanted to use it as a vacation spot. However, she didn't have the connections or time to contact workers, so she hoped that he could use his connections with the international police to find a reliable renovation company to take on the task of repairing the main structure of the manor.

For the handsome guy, it was indeed a small matter, so he readily agreed.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I happen to know some people like that, and I'll send a capable subordinate to supervise the acceptance process for you!"

Hearing his assurance, Xia You breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.

In this way, the matter can be considered closed.

Once the repairs are successful, with the support of several ghostly forces, the rate of damage to the manor will be greatly reduced. As long as it is not maliciously damaged by humans, it should be fine for at least one or two hundred years.

Although it would cost a lot of money, it was still affordable for Xia You, who had no use for the bonuses in her bank account.

However, to be fair, turning the other three souls into ghosts last night was already a huge help; there was no need to go to such lengths.

But when faced with even the slightest temptation, Xia You simply can't control herself.

This also made his relationship with the ghost girl no longer simple.

This is the price you have to pay for doing certain things!

However, apart from the still undiscovered Hades, the matter here is basically over, and it has been completed satisfactorily. At least Xia You is quite satisfied.

that's enough.

When he returned to the ghost girl and told her about his plan to repair the mansion, he naturally received her gratitude once again.

"Mr. Xia You, thank you for everything you've done."

"You're welcome. After all, I did receive your payment."

Xia You waved his hand dismissively, then his gaze unconsciously fell on the ghost girl's mouth, before moving down her neck.

The ghost girl naturally remembered what happened that night, and a hint of shyness reappeared in her eyes.

When she came to her senses, Xia You realized that her gaze had been too obvious, and she couldn't help but cough lightly.

"I believe the maintenance workers will be here in a few days. To avoid being noticed by them, you'd better hide."

The ghost girl nodded: "Don't worry, we won't give ourselves away."

After giving a brief instruction, Xia You, accompanied by the ghost girl, returned to the library on the first floor.

He walked to the coffee table next to the sofa, took out the family photo of the five people from the mansion that he had obtained the night before, and placed it on the table.

Looking at this group photo, the ghost girl was once again filled with emotion.

Who could have imagined that the five people who were once happy would become ghosts after the shocking events of that day, and then reunite?

I have to thank this man again.

However, since the words had already been said too many times, the ghost girl buried her gratitude deep in her heart.

Looking at the group photo, Xia You suddenly remembered something, quickly took out her wallet from her pocket and opened it, then took out a solo photo of herself and placed it next to the family photo.

Upon seeing Xia You's handsome solo photo, the ghost girl was first stunned, then filled with joy.

"This is wonderful! Now I can see you every day!"

Xia You naturally had similar thoughts, but more than that...

He turned to the ghost girl and smiled, “Many powerful Pokémon have a strong sense of territory and will leave their marks in their own territory to warn intruders and to declare their ownership. Now I have left my photo here to warn any trainers who come to stay in the future that this place has been occupied by me!”

Hearing Xia You's domineering words, the ghost girl didn't feel anything was wrong. On the contrary, she could feel her already cold heart being enveloped by a huge feeling of emotion and warmth!

Turning her gaze away from her face, Xia You looked again at the two photos on the table.

"I'll talk to the handsome guy later and ask him to find someone to frame these two pieces so that we won't have to worry about them fading or getting damaged."

At the same time, Xia You secretly hoped that the mansion and the ghosts could find eternal peace and tranquility.

……

After bidding farewell to the ghost girl, Xia You, Xiao Yao, and Ya Mi left the Forest Mansion and continued their journey deeper into the forest.

Coincidentally, Yami's next destination was the same as theirs: to cross the forest and reach Baidai City.

However, she was rather unlucky. Although she entered the forest a day or two earlier than Xia You and Xiao Yao, she was traveling alone without any companions to help her. This caused her to get lost in the forest for several days, wandering around in circles until she met Xia You and the other two and entered the Forest Mansion together, which finally put her on the right track.

This also made Xia You and Xiao Yao's thoughts wander.

Following the compass, the three traveled south for almost a day before finally leaving the Hundred Generations Forest and arriving at a wide open field.

Without the trees overhead to block their view, their mood, like the clear sky and the boundless plains, suddenly brightened.

Following the reappearing road, the three walked and admired the scenery along the way. Just then, Xiaoyao asked casually, "Miss Yami, where do you plan to go next?"

It's actually quite strange.

Although Yami is a trainer, she is clearly not very enthusiastic about challenging gyms and the league, which is why she has not yet collected all the gym badges despite being a trainer for many years.

However, it would be equally unreasonable to assume that she spends most of her time and energy catching Pokémon or traveling around.

First, through chatting, we learned that Yami doesn't have many Pokémon, only five in total, not even reaching the six-monster limit.

This is quite unusual for a trainer who has been traveling for several years.

However, judging from Chansey's performance, it's hard to say how strong her Pokémon are.

In fact, her travel experience is not particularly extensive.

As someone born and raised in the Sinnoh region, it's amazing that I haven't even explored all of Sinnoh in all this time. There are still many places I've never been to!

I really don't know where this person has wasted all their time...

That's amazing.

In the end, Xia You could only attribute it to Ya Mi's personality.

After nearly a day of interaction, he had gained a deep understanding of Yami, knowing that she was not only slow-paced but also somewhat airheaded, and that it was obviously impossible to get such a person to travel like a normal trainer.

Upon hearing Xiaoyao's question, Yami didn't think much of it and simply shook her head.

"I haven't decided yet, but I'll probably stay in Baidai City for a few days and see the surrounding scenery."

How leisurely...

This allowed Xia You to truly appreciate just how carefree and relaxed a trainer who doesn't aim for the Pokémon Tournament can be.

This is entirely about my life after retirement!

After glancing at Xia You and seeing him nod, Xiao Yao coughed lightly and then tentatively asked, "Um... Xia You and I are currently traveling around, challenging gyms and participating in grand tournaments. If you're free lately, how about traveling with us for a while?"

That's right, that's exactly what Xia You and Xiao Yao were planning!

After tasting Ya Mi's cooking this morning, the two immediately realized that this woman, despite her seemingly confused and timid appearance, and even the constant blush on her face, was exactly what they needed right now—a chef!

This was a treasure trove for Xia You and Xiao Yao, who had always struggled with the problem of finding three meals a day!

This allows them to completely ignore any of Yami's shortcomings!

Therefore, even if you can't travel together all the time, you should at least travel together for a while to improve their monotonous and boring meals!

Yami naturally had no idea what Xia You and Xiao Yao were planning, nor did she know that the two of them were targeting her.

Hearing Xiaoyao invite her, she was first surprised, then quickly looked at Xia You.

Xia You smiled at her at that moment, offering encouragement and a friendly look.

Perhaps it was because these two people had left such a deep impression on her, or perhaps because she knew they were reliable people, and because they had gone through the mansion incident together, that Yami developed a great liking for them.

"Of course!" She beamed, her cheeks flushing even more, and said happily, "I'm so glad you invited me. Traveling with you will definitely be a lot of fun!"

Chapter 946 Vegetable Seeds: Something feels off?

Inviting Yami went even more smoothly than expected.

As a result, Xia You's prepared explanations were completely useless.

However, this is also a good thing, as it at least shows that both parties have the willingness to go together. Such cooperation can not only avoid disagreements, but also make the trip more sustainable.

Xia You and Xiao Yao looked at each other again, and both saw a hint of secret joy in each other's eyes.

In any case, their stomachs will finally be free from suffering for a while from now on!

……

Baidai City, located in the north-central part of the Sinnoh continent, has a population of only a few hundred thousand and is an inland city with a long history.

Although this place is not bustling and is only of medium size, it was built a long time ago. In the eastern part of the city, there was a once very famous Baidai Festival Square. Every year on the day of the festival, a large number of residents would gather here, making the place briefly extremely lively.

Unfortunately, as traditions slowly fade away and the older generation grows old, while today's young people also enjoy excitement, the culture of celebrations is inevitably declining.

However, whether the city declines or not has little to do with Xia You and the others.

After all, they weren't here for tourism; they only had one purpose in coming here—the Hyakudai Dojo!

As the official gym of Eternal City, the gym leader of Eternal City is named Nazuna, a female trainer who is proficient in Grass-type Pokémon. Coincidentally, the name Nazuna has two meanings: one is vegetables, and the other is seeds or farming, both related to plants. Nazuna is also proficient in Grass-type Pokémon battles, which is quite fitting.

There are many people like her, such as Electric-type Electrify, who is also a Sinnoh Gym Leader, and Flying-type Gym Leader Dewdrop from the Unova region.

As dusk approached and darkness fell, Xia You did not immediately challenge the Eternal City Gym after entering Eternal City. Instead, the three of them went to a nearby post office and mailed the information they had obtained from the mansion to Professor Sakuragi's lab via international express. Only then did they go to the Pokémon Center to check in.

It was at this moment that he finally realized why Yami's journey was so slow.

No sooner had they put their luggage in the room than Yami found a travel guide to Baidai City from somewhere, and then excitedly dragged Xiaoyao along to go shopping, leaving Xia You alone in the room in a mess!

It's obvious she's really relaxed!

But girls should live a more refined life, that's only right.

Shaking her head, Xia You ignored them.

With the gym battle imminent, he released several Pokémon and led them to the open-air battle arena behind the Pokémon Center, where they began intensive training.

In fact, for tomorrow's gym battle, he could have easily sent out a second or third-tier lineup of Blaziken, Metagross, and Milotic to sweep through the competition.

It's believed that none of these gym leaders could withstand the onslaught of their Pokémon.

However, that would defeat the purpose of the journey and prevent us from honing our Pokémon to the fullest extent. Therefore, tomorrow's battles should focus on newly captured Pokémon such as Froakie and Riolu.

Of course, it's not that Blaziken and the others aren't used in battle at all; it's just that they haven't encountered strong opponents or situations where they're evenly matched.

It must be said that, being a medium-sized city, the flow of people is enormous.

Xia You had only been training with his Pokémon for a short while when a passing trainer challenged him.

only……

Under Xia You's command and with the outstanding performance of his Pokémon, the challenger fought valiantly but was ultimately defeated.

From start to finish, the challenger failed to mount any effective counterattack and was beaten so badly he almost questioned his existence. This also demonstrates the enormous gap in strength between the two sides.

This caused his expression to change from initial curiosity to excitement to surprise, until finally he turned pale and was covered in sweat!

He left the scene dejectedly, but that wasn't the end of it. Seeing how powerful Xia You was, easily defeating his opponent, several other trainers nearby were eager to challenge him.
