I caught a Pokémon

However, as more and more photos and video clips from different angles were released, the incident quickly went viral online and spread to major platforms in a short period of time!

Now, no one doubted its authenticity anymore!

Xia You casually browsed through her phone and found that everyone was talking about it.

There's no way around it; in this world where Pokémon exist, any news about legendary or mythical Pokémon can spark a heated discussion, let alone a battle like this!

Ninety percent of the news reports expressed shock and disbelief at Rayquaza's overwhelming power in suppressing the God of Space and the God of Time!

Rayquaza...it's that strong!?

Those are the gods of time and space!

How could they be beaten so badly that they couldn't fight back at all?!

Although they lacked knowledge about Rayquaza and had never seen that form of Rayquaza, they could guess with a little effort that it must be Rayquaza's super form.

This made them even more curious.

What's more, it's a different color!

Compared to the regular Rayquaza, this black one undoubtedly looks more ferocious and imposing!

Fortunately, he did not appear in most of the photos and videos.

This made Xia You breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Come to think of it, after all, he was standing at the top of the Tower of Time and Space, completely black, almost blending into the sky, and people's attention was not on him at all, so how many people would notice him?

Only a few people accidentally discovered his whereabouts while filming, and discussed it in a small group for a while.

This was undoubtedly good news for Xia You.

8 pm.

Night enveloped the town, but unlike the dimensional space of daytime, in the real night sky illuminated by the bright moonlight and countless stars, even the cold wind felt so comfortable.

The real night is definitely the best...

After an afternoon of searching, many trainers had already given up on finding Darkrai.

People would occasionally return to the Pokémon Center dejectedly, all wondering if Darkrai had already left, otherwise why was there still no trace of it after so long?

Only a small number of trainers are still striving to continue, displaying an unwavering determination to achieve their goal.

In essence, Xia You was no different from these people at this moment.

The only difference was that he knew where Darkrai was hiding...

That would be fatal.

This single piece of information alone could kill this special battle!

He walked slowly in the opposite direction from these people and came to Gaudi's garden.

Of course, there are trainers here looking for Darkrai, but they are just wandering around aimlessly, so it would be strange if they could find it!

Xia You first found a bench and sat down, just like a tourist who came to the park to relax. She simply sat there quietly, took out her phone, and sent messages to her several women, flirting with them one by one.

Many trainers searching for Darkrai in the park also saw this strange man.

But he didn't seem to be looking for Darkrai. He just sat there for more than an hour. Although I was curious, I ignored him and was glad that I had one less competitor. I kept passing by him and searched for Darkrai's whereabouts in the large park.

Unfortunately, as a Pokémon that can hide in the shadows, how could they possibly find it so early?

As it got later and later, even the trainers in the park began to leave one by one. Xia You then got up and stretched her somewhat stiff limbs.

It has to be said, the Phoenix King brand body additive is truly worthy of recognition!

Even after sitting for so long, with the cool river breeze blowing all the time, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all!

Ah, Phoenix King...

My forever friend.

I wish you all the best!

With a light cough, he summoned Gengar and, led by Gengar, arrived at the hiding place that Gengar had mentioned earlier.

Standing here, Xia You looked ahead and saw a swing hanging under a big tree. The vegetation on the ground trembled slightly in the gentle breeze, and the swing made a creaking sound.

You can tell just by looking at it that this swing is quite old!

"We're here." Gengar looked at the grass under the swing, while also being on guard. "This is where Darkrai is hiding."

Xia You nodded, wondering if Darkrai was still there, or how to summon it, when a shadow slowly rose from the ground beside the swing!

Its unusual appearance, with what looks like a white bag on its head and wearing a black robe, is none other than Darkrai!

I never expected it to come out on its own before I even looked for it!

This also surprised Xia You.

But that's not all; even more unexpected things happened next.

Darkrai's gaze lingered on Gengar for a moment before shifting to Xia You, at which point that neutral voice rang in his ears.

"It's you! The trainer of Rayquaza!"

Oh ho?

Xia You never expected that Darkrai would recognize her!

This shouldn't be happening...

After all, he had never dealt with it before, and he had disguised himself during the battle, so how did it recognize him?

Could it be through Gengar?

This is understandable, since Gengar appeared both when tracking it and when directing the battle from the rooftop of the broadcasting room. With a little discernment, it's easy to recognize its own identity.

But then I thought about it again, and a Pokémon like Darkrai couldn't possibly recognize things just by looking at them. It's probably because it sensed Rayquaza's presence from its own body.

To be honest, Xia You's impression of Darkrai was quite strange.

He sometimes thought this Pokémon was cool, and other times he thought it was just so-so. For example, right now, when it's not battling, it has two long legs and a slender body, with a very chuunibyou (delusional) look, which looks quite awkward.

"Now that you've recognized me, things will be much easier."

Xia You remained expressionless, simply taking out a Charizard Poké Ball from her waist pouch. With a press of the switch, her Charizard appeared in front of Darkrai in the next second.

"Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't recovered from your previous injuries yet, right? But even if you have, it doesn't matter. As my spoils of war, to prevent others from taking advantage of the chaos to subdue you, to ensure you can stay here undisturbed, and to protect my rights, I'll give you two choices now."

As he spoke, Xia You took out an empty Poké Ball from his waist pouch and tossed it forward. The Poké Ball rolled right to Darkrai's feet.

Fortunately, it wasn't opened.

Just as Darkrai looked down at the red and white Poké Ball, Xia You spoke again.

"The first option is for you to voluntarily enter this Poké Ball. After I have completely captured you, I will release you and put the Poké Ball in a safe place to ensure that no one can capture you in the future. The second option is for me to beat you up until you are completely exhausted, and then put you back into the Poké Ball and do the same thing as before."

Darkrai could hardly believe his ears.

What did it hear?

What on earth is this human saying?!

You need to subdue yourself!?

It frowned and looked up at Xia You, only to see that the latter's expression had not changed at all, as if he was not joking. The Gengar beside him, on the other hand, had a mocking smile on its face and was looking at it sinisterly!

Similarly, on the other side of this human, the fire-breathing dragon was also staring intently at him, its muscles taut, as if it were about to attack at any moment upon receiving a command!

Just as it was about to say something more, Xia You spoke first: "Now it's your choice, but... you only have three seconds, three..."

To my surprise, he started counting right away!

Just as he finished speaking, Gengar cackled and extended three fingers of its right hand.

Okay, actually, it only has three short, pointed fingers on one of its palms, so it can't extend even one more.

Under Darkrai's watchful gaze, it slowly put away one of the sticks, leaving only two.

"Two..." Xia You spoke again at this moment.

Instinctively, Darkrai took a step back, looking as if facing a formidable enemy.

Its intuition was screaming at it that the man in front of it was definitely not joking!

He really wanted to put himself inside that Poké Ball!

As for myself, I either have to run away immediately, or I have to fight back immediately!

But whether running or fighting, Darkrai lacked confidence after sensing the sudden burst of intense power from the Charizard beside it.

What's more, this man also possesses the terrifyingly powerful Rayquaza!!

This made Darkrai dare not make any rash moves.

Xia You counted again softly: "...One!"

Beside him, Gengar also withdrew one finger, holding up only the last one, and smiled even more brightly at Darkrai!

This brought Darkrai back to its senses. Without thinking twice, it turned and fled, flying into the sky!

However, Charizard had clearly been on guard against this move. At the same time that Darkrai took action, Charizard also flapped its wings and flew away like an arrow!

“Zero…” Xia You looked at Darkrai’s back and shook her head. “It seems you’re not so smart after all. I’ve already explained everything to you. But it doesn’t matter. Since you’ve already made your choice, it’s just a waste of a little more time.”

Darkrai, which had already flown far away, naturally did not hear Xia You's subsequent words. It continued flying forward with its head down, intending to escape this dangerous place as quickly as possible.

However, its flight speed was greatly affected by the injury, and it had only flown a short distance when the fire dragon's flames arrived!

Sensing the intense heat behind it, it knew there was no way to avoid it and had to take precautions.

But just as he made a protective move, the fire-breathing dragon followed closely behind and came right up to him!

Now, Darkrai couldn't easily break free.

At first, it wanted to fight Charizard and try to defeat the Pokémon as soon as possible, but as soon as it started fighting, it realized that it was making a big mistake.

This Charizard is incredibly powerful!

It was more powerful than anything it had ever seen before!

Darkrai even felt a suppressive force from it, similar to that of Dialga and Palkia!

How is that possible?!

Having only rested for a few hours and not yet fully recovered its strength, it was knocked down from the sky by Charizard in just one exchange, and with a 'thud,' it fell back down in front of Xia You.

Chapter 988 What's the difference?!

From the moment Darkrai escaped until it crashed back into its original spot, only a minute or two had passed.

It's not that it's not powerful, but after being repeatedly ravaged and bombarded by Palkia, Dialga, and Rayquaza in the previous battle, and without Nurse Joy to help it heal, it has only recovered for a few hours and still has the strength to escape. This shows that its willpower is extremely strong!

This also shows that those trainers who were searching for Darkrai had a really good grasp of timing. This was indeed when Darkrai was at its weakest. If they had actually found it, it might have been captured by someone else!

But then again, Darkrai isn't stupid. If Xia You and Gengar hadn't been standing in its hiding place and pointed out its location, it definitely wouldn't have shown itself.

If it were any other trainer, without any special Pokémon by their side, they could walk under this big tree dozens of times and still not find it!

"Oh, we meet again." Xia You took a few steps forward and looked down at it. "Why bother? I know you don't want to be captured or leave this town, but I want to tell you that you are not important to me either. Look at my Charizard, Rayquaza, or this Gengar beside me, aren't they all special beings? The reason I'm doing this and wasting so much breath is just to prevent other trainers from getting something for nothing."

Darkrai lay on the ground, too weak to even speak, only half-opening his eyes to look at the man.

But whether it understood Xia You's words or not, it finally stopped struggling.

Regardless of whether the man was lying or not, putting everything else aside, the strength of his Pokémon alone certainly qualified him to capture me.

Even if everything he said was false, a man with such ability is indeed worth following!

Seeing its resigned expression, Xia You couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Very good, it seems you really understood this time."

As he spoke, he glanced at Gengar, who immediately understood, picked up the Poké Ball from the ground, and pressed it against Darkrai!

The next second, a red light flashed out from the Poké Ball, enveloping Darkrai and pulling it into the ball!

If someone saw this scene, they might exclaim in surprise.
