I caught a Pokémon

As a Fighting/Steel type Pokémon, Lucario is well-rounded in both offense and defense. It has the ability to attack opponents at both close and long range, is fast, and has relatively high stamina, making it a very well-rounded Pokémon.

But given their inherent attributes, they still prefer close-quarters combat to ranged attacks.

In a matter of moments, they were face to face, exchanging blows and launching into a hand-to-hand combat attack!

This made Ah Li excited.

After all, this was the first time she had ever actually fought against Xia You's Pokémon in three matches!

Compared to the previous two games, this is a huge improvement!

However, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

My Lucario has been training and honing its skills by my side for a long time, and its fighting ability is definitely top-notch. The one opposite me, on the other hand, has obviously only evolved recently, and some of its moves are not yet perfect or skillful. But why... can it still fight my Lucario to a standstill?

No, it should be said that Lucario was subtly suppressing itself!

What's going on here?!

She squinted and looked closely, and soon noticed something amiss.

She noticed that the Lucario opposite her was indeed less experienced than her own, but its grasp of the 'situation' was quite accurate. Often, the moves that her Lucario could execute seemed to have been seen through, while the opponent always managed to seize the openings she made.

This discovery greatly surprised Ali.

This Lucario has such high talent!?

Although his movements are still quite clumsy, his insight is quite remarkable. If he continues to grow like this, who knows how amazing he will become in the end!

She was utterly shocked, unaware that Xia You's Lucario was judging how to act by sensing its trainer's emotions—sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, sometimes satisfied!

Frowning means you shouldn't have done that.

"Relaxed" means there is currently no danger.

Satisfaction is the simplest thing to do, which means that you have done the right thing!

With this waveguide perception alone, it performed exceptionally well, as if divinely aided, and temporarily suppressed its opponent.

This is a faster way than language, without even the cumbersome steps of the trainer speaking, the voice being transmitted, and the Pokémon hearing the command and reacting. Just like radio waves, it allows Lucario to receive the simplest and most original information in the quickest and most direct way!

In a sense, this method, while not as accurate as telepathy, is faster!

Xia You's strategic vision also helped it make up for all its disadvantages, which led to the current situation.

Ah Li naturally didn't know any of this, since Xia You hadn't said anything; she simply assumed that this Lucario was really powerful.

Therefore, even though she commanded with all her might and was highly focused, the third battle lasted less than five minutes. At some point, as the stalemate was suddenly broken, her Lucario was caught off guard by Xia You's Lucario, who took it down with a smooth combo. Following in the footsteps of the first two Pokémon, Lucario also fell down.

"How...how could this happen..."

Ah Li was momentarily dazed, rubbed his eyes, and then believed what he had actually seen.

How did my Pokémon suddenly lose the battle?

what happened! ?

My Lucario actually lost to the opponent in a fighting match!?

What a joke!

Even though she didn't want to accept this fact, Lucario lying on the ground still pulled her back to reality.

Seeing her incredulous expression, Xia You shook her head helplessly.

Although I didn't give any verbal instructions, do you know how busy I was in my mind?

It's no less than fighting a battle with all your heart!

Although it was not difficult at all, my three Pokémon still grew a lot.

But he wouldn't tell Ali about this; he simply pretended to be casual as he called his Lucario back.

"You did a good job." Xia You patted its shoulder and smiled. "Your waveguide perception ability is getting stronger and stronger. With a little more practice, you'll be able to stand on your own."

At this moment, no matter how unwilling he was, Ah Li could only recall the Pokémon and walk up to Xia You with the referee.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she could only sigh helplessly: "Congratulations, you defeated me and won this gym battle. This is my Pavement Badge, please accept it."

Actually, Xia You didn't have much to say to this young museum owner.

The two had no prior connection and no shared experiences, so Xia You had neither the intention to offer her advice nor the desire to befriend her.

I'm afraid we'll never see each other again.

No, that's not right. After Cai Dou arrives tomorrow, we might meet her again.

But her strength...

For some reason, Xia You suddenly regretted calling Cai Dou here.

This is pure stomping on noobs!

All I can say is that I really didn't think that much before contacting Cai Dou.

What's done is done, there's no use regretting it now.

Clearing her throat, Xia You thanked Ali for handing her the badge and accepted it.

This is the third badge he has received.

In terms of speed, this collection rate is only average.

Looking down, the badge's shape resembles a boxing bag or an old-fashioned folding mat; it's brownish-yellow, square, and seems to symbolize the simple yet indomitable spirit of karate.

After putting the badge back into the box, Xiaoyao and Yami walked over. The three of them nodded to Ali and the referee, said goodbye, and then left without saying anything more.

After leaving the dojo, Xiaoyao looked back and sighed.

"It seems that this Miss Li isn't very good at running a dojo."

Although she didn't say it, everyone knew what she meant.

"Let's not comment on other people's business." Xia You shook her head. "No matter what, I not only got badges in this gym battle, but my Pokémon also got a lot of training. For me, the gains were actually quite significant."

None of them were the type to gossip behind people's backs. Since the matter was over, they stopped there and no one discussed it further. Instead, they asked about their plans for the future.

Xiaoyao and Yami thought they would leave the city immediately and head to the next place, but to their surprise, Xia You wanted to stay for two more days.

"Is there anything else?" Yami couldn't help but ask.

Xia You didn't hide anything and told them about getting Cai Dou and the upcoming raid on the Galaxy Team's base in cooperation with the international police. Of course, she also omitted some details about A Quan and Huo Yan.

Yami didn't know who Cai Dou was, but upon hearing the name, she knew it must be a woman, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little melancholy.

Xiaoyao didn't think too much about it, and simply asked, "Do you need our help?"

"No need," Xia You refused. "I'm just cooperating with their operation this time, treating it as a show. So you should take advantage of these two days to explore the area further."

"There's not much to see here." May didn't insist, but said, "I've already seen all the places I wanted to visit. Since I'm going to stay here, I'll just practice at the Pokémon Center for the next few days. My sister Yami said she'd help me train and battle!"

……

After sending May and Yami back to the Pokémon Center, Xia You returned to the secret base at the port.

It was still early morning, and although Xia You had been investigating all night, she didn't know how well A Quan and Huo Yan had done their investigation. She could ask them for advice.

They are certainly capable, but they probably haven't achieved much in such a short time.

Thinking this, Xia You also knocked on the large iron gate of the base.

Actually, A-Quan and Fire Goose didn't come to Sinnoh alone.

When they set off, they also brought with them several members who had broken away from Team Magma and Team Aqua. However, although these people also came to Sinnoh, they had already dispersed to various parts of Sinnoh upon their arrival and were investigating Team Galactic in their own way.

Of course, Xia You didn't expect those ordinary team members to be of any help; she was just giving these restless people something to do.

After a long while, there was still no sign of the door opening.

Just as Xia You thought that A Quan and Huo Yan were not there and was about to leave, the door was opened at that moment.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ah Quan, who was still yawning.

"What's wrong?" Xia You asked with a smile. "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Rolling his eyes at him, A-Quan stepped aside: "Sleep? I was investigating that base all night last night and only got back this morning. I've only slept for a few hours and you're already knocking on the door!"

Although A-Quan tried to appear very resentful, Xia You knew that she was actually enjoying it.

After all, having once been a member of the organization, she had that yearning for missions deep in her bones!

She craves destruction.

She craves wildness.

I also crave battle!

After being idle for so long, she finally got a challenging task. It's obvious that even though she complained about the trouble and acted like she didn't want to deal with the Interpol team, she must have been very happy inside.

Following behind A-Quan, the two entered the base.

At this moment, Huoyan, who had heard the commotion, also came downstairs, still half asleep, clutching a pink pig plush toy.

"Boss! You're here!"

Upon seeing pink, Xia You immediately thought of Huo Yan's pink bed, pink decorations, and pink underwear.

And when he thought of underwear, he couldn't help but think of Huoyan's fair and tender... body.

Oops……

After a good night's sleep, my energy is back...

Suppressing the urge, Xia You nodded to Huo Yan: "Did you go to investigate last night too?"

Huo Yan nodded gently, then rubbed her eyes: "That's right, I only got back this morning."

"You've really worked hard." Knowing that Huoyan was in the same boat as Aquan, Xia You didn't say much. Instead, she plopped down on the sofa and looked at the two women in front of her. "Let's summarize what you've found out."

"You're really in a hurry." A-Quan yawned again, then took out his phone. "I'll send you the information, take a look yourself."

As soon as they finished speaking, Xia You's phone started making a series of soft beeps as the two of them operated it.

He took out his phone and saw that the two had sent him a lot of photos, lists, and documents.

"What are these—?"

Before A-Quan could speak, Huo-Yan spoke first: "It's all about the personnel and equipment in that base, as well as other information such as entrances and exits, cameras, etc. Because the investigation time was too short, these things are not very complete, but at least they have all been verified by us and are all accurate."

Looking at the densely packed dozens of pages, Xia You couldn't help but sigh.

"Your abilities and efficiency are truly outstanding. It's quite astonishing. No wonder you've become leaders in your respective organizations."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" A-Quan sneered. "We're all 'your people' now, and we've long since distanced ourselves from Team Lava and Team Ocean. By the way, have you thought of a name for the team?"

Oops……

I've completely forgotten about this...

Seeing that he didn't speak, A-Quan guessed what was going on and couldn't help but grin: "What? Neither of those two names suits you? Or... are you really planning to name our team 'Xia You and His Women'?"

When she said the words "his women," A-Quan gritted her teeth and emphasized her voice, and Xia You was shocked again when she saw her like that.

It's obvious that she already knows he secretly slept with Huoyan!

Chapter 1001 A-Quan: Keep laughing! (Chapter 1001)

Even Xia You, who never flinched in the face of a volcanic eruption and torrential rain, was now sweating.

Especially after seeing Ah Quan's somewhat angry gaze, he felt even more ashamed.

He also glanced at Huoyan.

How did you do it?

Before I left yesterday, didn't I specifically tell her not to tell A-Quan?

How did we still get exposed?

Did Ah Quan discover something himself?

However, Xia You wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't admit it after doing it. Although he was a little embarrassed, he had already foreseen that A Quan would find out one day after his impulsive act. So, after a night of thinking and deduction, he had already come up with his explanation and countermeasures.

But just as he was about to say something, Huoyan smiled gently at him, then sat down on the sofa and hugged his arm.

Knowing and seeing are two different things.
