I caught a Pokémon

...

I don't know when it started, but the air suddenly got cold.

As the altitude continued to rise, not only did the air suddenly turn cold and the path become increasingly difficult, but the surroundings were also filled with electromagnetic waves, causing Xia You and his companions' electronic devices to malfunction one after another.

The group tightened their cloaks.

Fortunately, although the upper part of Mt. Coronet is a snow mountain, the overall climate of Sinnoh is what it is, and it is summer now, so it is not particularly cold. With the clothes they are wearing and Charizard and Blaziken by their side, they can manage to hold on.

Even so, Xiaoyao and Yami still subconsciously moved closer to Xia You, as if only by standing beside him could they feel more at ease.

Actually, by the time you get to the second half, there's no path left to walk on.

This forced the three of them to climb and scramble, and in some places they even needed the help of Pokémon to continue upwards, making it quite arduous.

However, none of the three said anything.

After all, since they had already decided to go to the top of the mountain, how could such a small difficulty possibly stop them?

Braving the increasingly biting wind, the group climbed towards the mountaintop. Fortunately, they soon discovered a cave, which completely isolated them from the harsh cold outside.

The fact that there are interconnected tunnels inside Tianguan Mountain is no secret among the locals.

In fact, many people who want to reach the top of the mountain for exploration will take this kind of tunnel. Xia You and his two companions are just repeating one of the shortcuts that their predecessors have explored countless times.

There are simply many forks in the road here. If you don't want to get lost or end up in a dead end, you can only take the widest and safest roads.

Once inside, the temperature and environment became relatively calmer, and various wild Pokémon began to peek out from time to time.

For these Pokémon, who usually forage for food on the surface of Mount Coronet and return to their caves at night, this is their habitat. Now that they see humans coming in, they all watch Xia You and his group from a distance. But as soon as Xia You and his group approach, they disappear in the blink of an eye, just like startled rabbits.

Of course, there were also those fierce predators who, upon seeing Xia You and his companions, emitted threatening growls from their throats, seemingly warning these uninvited guests not to trespass into their territory. However, Xia You's fire-breathing dragon merely displayed its muscles and aura, scaring away these clueless creatures.

Even so, there will always be some clueless individuals.

Take, for example, a few hard, round golems. When these guys lie here, they look no different from ordinary rocks. It's only when you get within their attack range that they suddenly attack, giving careless trainers an unexpected 'surprise'.

Xia You and his Charizard had naturally seen these disguised Pokémon long ago.

However, even when Charizard released its aura, these creatures ignored it. In addition, the cave was not very wide, so if they wanted to get through, they would have to drive away these Golems first.

Helpless, Xia You stopped Charizard and Blaziken from going forward and instead released Froakie, Riolu, and Chimchar.

Under his command, the three Pokémon launched an attack on the hidden Golems.

Despite the opponent's higher evolution level, it was still a wild Pokémon. Under Xia You's command, the three Pokémon cooperated and easily defeated all the Golems.

The battle lasted only three minutes.

But this is just a small glimpse into one phenomenon!

Along this cave leading to the summit, they encountered small skirmishes from time to time, making their climb less smooth than they had imagined.

This is why many people would rather endure the cold than climb the mountain from outside.

If Xia You hadn't been strong enough, she would have been exhausted both physically and mentally from these continuous small-scale battles!

Although it was indeed troublesome, he saw it as a good opportunity to hone his three Pokémon, so he simply left Froakie and the others outside and let them push their way through.

All the Pokémon that blocked their way and refused to leave were defeated by Froakie, Riolu, and Chimchar, becoming valuable battle experience for them once again.

Of course, this kind of fighting while retreating will inevitably waste more time.

They fought more than a dozen battles like this. Although the scale of each battle was small and the fighting was not intense, they still managed to reach the top of the mountain around 3 or 4 p.m.!

It was already very late, but thankfully all the effort was worthwhile.

Following one of the cave entrances, the group returned to the outside of the mountain.

Although it is not the highest point of Tianguan Mountain, standing on one of the mountaintops and looking around, it seems that the whole world has become a slight arc, with the earth, rivers, mountains, forests and sea all in sight!

As expected of Tianguan Mountain, this kind of scenery can only be seen here!

The three of them stood there for a while, taking photos to commemorate the moment. Finally, unable to bear the chill any longer, they began looking for a way down the mountain.

Returning via the same route is impossible.

Moreover, in order to experience a different feeling, they decided to descend the mountain from the surface this time.

But just as they were about to leave, Yami pointed to the highest peak and asked in surprise, "Why does it look like there's a building over there?"

Hearing her say that, Xia You and Ya Mi turned to look in the direction she pointed. Sure enough, on the other highest mountain peak, some stone pillars were faintly visible. Because of the angle, they were not easily noticed unless you looked closely!

"It really is!" Xiaoyao exclaimed, her eyes widening. "But... there are buildings at such a high place? Who built them?!"

Looking at that place, Xia You was surprised for a moment, but then immediately realized where it was.

"Pillar of Spears..."

"Pillar of Spears?"

When he mentioned this unfamiliar term, Xiaoyao turned to look at him.

Before Xia You could speak, Yami, who was standing to the side, glanced at him and, seeing him nod, offered to explain: "In the legends of Sinnoh, Arceus, who emerged from an egg and created the entire world, created Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina right here. He even created the entire Sinnoh region here..."

At this point, she couldn't help but ask, "But... I also thought it was just a legend. Does such a place really exist? And it's right here!"

"Who cares..." Xia You shrugged. "Since we're here, let's go see for ourselves and find out!"

Because the two mountains were too far apart, they could only reach them from the air by relying on the power of the Charizard.

The distance of just a few thousand meters was covered in an instant, and the Charizard arrived in no time.

When they flew closer, they finally saw the situation there clearly.

Following a narrow, winding mountain road, one arrives at the highest point of Tianguan Mountain. At the summit, there is a stone platform slightly larger than a football field, upon which stand a dozen or so thick stone pillars, resembling... some kind of altar.

The fire-breathing dragon slowly descended onto the altar, and Xia You and the other two jumped down one after another.

The heavy weight beneath their feet gave them a slightly unreal feeling.

After all, building such a massive stone platform in such a place would require an immense amount of manpower and resources, and it clearly couldn't be completed in a short time...

"Is this the Pillar of Spears?" Haruka looked around but didn't find anything unusual. "And why is it called that? What does 'spear' refer to? And what does 'pillar' refer to? Are they the pillars standing here?"

Unfortunately, no one could answer her.

After all, how could modern people like them possibly guess the real answer?

However, judging from its shape, it should be seen as a long spear standing on the ground.

This is also the view of most scholars.

The three of them wandered around the area for a while, but found nothing except for these broken pillars covered with the marks of time.

Apart from the sound of the wind, it was quiet here.

But clearly, this is not just a simple platform.

Xia You vaguely remembered that this was Team Galactic's final destination. It was here that they attempted to summon Dialga and Palkia, and wanted to control them to create some new universe...

A group of people who are complaining without reason.

This is how Xia You defined them.

If you can't even maintain your own world, how can you expect to create and manage a new one?

Ideals are surreal and completely impractical.

Even compared to Team Ocean and Team Lava, their ideas are more naive and empty!

At this moment, Xia You opened the Poké Ball and released Gardevoir and Deoxys together.

When May and Yami first saw these two Pokémon, they thought Xia You wanted to use their superpowers to sense the unseen energy here.

But seeing that he had no such intention at all, and instead had the two Pokémon make some marks, they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling very strange.

"Brother Xia You..." Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Xia You turned to look at the two women. "Of course, we need to make them mark the spot so that we can use teleportation to get here next time."

"We're coming again?" Xiaoyao was taken aback. "Why? Isn't there anything special about this place?"

Xia You sighed: "Isn't it because of those guys from Team Galactic? Their ultimate goal is this place, so marking it in advance is a good precaution. After all, being able to appear here silently by teleporting is definitely less likely to attract attention than climbing up or flying over from the sky!"

Chapter 994 It's like meeting the parents.

Before nightfall, Xia You and his two companions had already left the Pillar of Spears and headed down the mountain.

However, as night fell, due to the difficult terrain, they had only reached the halfway point down the mountain, with a long way to go before reaching the foot of the mountain. This forced them to set up camp on the mountain to spend the cold night.

Not only that, because the location of their descent from the mountain changed, their route and direction became increasingly different as they went on. So much so that when Xia You checked the map before going to sleep, she discovered that they were getting further and further away from Jiayuan City, and closer and closer to Shenhe Town in the north!

When the news was told to Xiaoyao and Yami, who were also in the tent, the two women were also somewhat surprised.

"What should we do then?" Yami's eyes widened.

"What else can we do? Just go with the flow." Xia You didn't seem to care much. "Traveling is just about going wherever you want, whether it's Shenhe Town or Jiayuan City, they're just places along the way. Alright, we still have to travel tomorrow, time for bed!"

After saying that, Xia You turned around and turned off the light in the tent, plunging the tent into darkness.

Fortunately, moonlight shone through the small transparent window on the tent, making the place hazy and not too dark.

The cold wind outside was still howling.

The only heat source inside the tent, a small portable electric heater, was constantly radiating heat.

Even though the tent was made of wind-resistant material, it was still too thin in this environment. Xia You didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that cold air was constantly sneaking in from various gaps and corners.

This made Xia You instinctively tighten the blanket and curl up slightly.

As a man, he took the initiative to sleep on the outermost side, which was the place closest to the wind, so that the cold air coming through would only hit him. Inside, in order, were Yami and Xiaoyao.

how to say……

Xiaoyao has always had a good appetite and slept well. Plus, being in the innermost part, which was warm and cozy, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, even in such an environment.

This is also what Xia You will always admire about her.

Looking at Yami again, she was facing away from him, her long green hair was loose, revealing her delicate white neck.

The woman's faint fragrance wafted into Xia You's nose at that moment.

Compared to his other women, Yami's scent was undoubtedly very unfamiliar, which made him lose his mind the moment he smelled it.

A few seconds later, realizing this startled Xia You.

Damn it...

On such a cold day, how can I still be thinking about this?!

Just like Ayame before, it seems he's willing to have these kinds of things happen when he's in a tent with other women...

But there's nothing we can do about it; that's just the way things are.

One can only lament that one's body has become increasingly restless since receiving the blessing of the Phoenix King.

Clearing her mind of all distractions, Xia You quickly closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the complex environment made it difficult to fall asleep, and coupled with the fact that his body was blessed by Ho-Oh, he didn't need much rest each day. Normally, he would use this time to study battle videos or communicate tactics with his Pokémon in his room, but now, he could only lie here bored.

woohoo...

Tianguan Mountain seemed to get even colder at night.

The wind kept blowing, causing the tent to sway gently.

Yami was clearly not asleep either. Although she was covered with a blanket, she still seemed a little cold. When Xia You opened her eyes and saw her tossing and turning, she couldn't help but move closer to her.

There's nothing wrong with such an action.

After all, the group was already companions. Yami did not react strongly to Xia You's approach. On the contrary, as the gap between them narrowed and the warm breath approached, she immediately felt that it was not so cold anymore. Her tense shoulders slowly relaxed at this moment.

As time went on, seeing that she had stopped moving, Xia You didn't know if she had fallen asleep or not. In any case, he himself became more and more awake by the scent of Ya Mi.

Especially looking at the tempting curves of the buds, I felt my mouth go dry.

He sighed, and to distract himself, he could only take out his phone and chat with each of his women one by one.

However, whether it was Naz, Lijia, or Maya, they all had the habit of going to bed early, let alone at such a late hour. The messages they sent seemed to disappear without a trace. On the other hand, the three sisters from Enju City had just finished their performance and returned home. Xia You only needed to speak in their group chat to get an immediate response.

While bickering with Xiaoyu, being comforted by Xiaojuan, being secretly amused by Xiaotao, and with the occasional interjections from the two sisters, Xiaomei and Yinghua, Xia You chatted with them enthusiastically for a while. Her heart was filled with the warmth of 'home,' which dispelled her lust, and she unknowingly fell asleep.

The next morning, Xia You was awakened by a slight noise. When she opened her eyes, she realized something was wrong.

Perhaps it was because he was thinking about his woman so much while he was sleeping last night, and his longing for her was too strong, that he actually pulled Yami completely into his bed!
