I caught a Pokémon

To be honest, although Hinata mentioned that she would also come to Sinnoh when we parted last time, I never expected to meet her here. It was really too much of a coincidence.

Seeing the group looking at each other, it was now the young man's turn to be surprised.

His gaze swept over the group before settling on Hinata: "What? You know each other?"

“Of course!” Hinata looked at Xia You, her eyes flashing with excitement, and then introduced him to the boy beside her, “This is Mr. Xia You, a truly remarkable person! Not only is he an Interpol Special Investigator, but he also holds the titles of winners in the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regional tournaments!”

"You're that man named Xia You!?" Perhaps he had heard Hinata mention him before, but upon hearing that the man before him was indeed Xia You, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes. "That's great! I've finally met him. I've heard about your exploits before, and I've always wanted to have a go at you!"

Xia You looked at Hinata with a puzzled expression.

Hinata, looking embarrassed, quickly explained, "This is Soichi, our chief patrolman. I've told him so much about you before, which is why he's been wanting to spar with you..."

Hearing this, Xia You understood.

So he's one of the strongest rangers!

In fact, the so-called chief rangers are also known as elite guardians.

It refers to those who have reached the top level in strength and ability within the Ranger Alliance. They can be said to be the top combat force in the entire Ranger Alliance!

Unlike regular rangers like Hyuga who work in specific areas, chief rangers can use more advanced verniers, receive more challenging and dangerous missions, and have sufficient judgment to make their own decisions, making them almost independent.

The entire Ranger Alliance only has a dozen or so chief rangers. This boy named Chuangyi is so talented that he can become one of them at such a young age!

As for why he wanted to spar with me?

I suppose he also wanted to personally see if he truly deserved the title of champion.

Haha, how energetic!

Chapter 1006 Chief Patrolman

Looking at the confident and radiant young man in front of her, Xia You couldn't help but stroke her chin.

It's actually quite normal to have this kind of thought.

After all, for those ambitious trainers, what they like to do most is to constantly challenge those trainers who are stronger than themselves, like Ash. And obviously, this boy named Souichi is that kind of person, just a little more composed than Ash.

Moreover, the boy named Chuangyi in front of us is not just a background character. In fact, he is the protagonist of the story in some chapters!

Even at the end of the story, he became a hero in the Almia region!

It's clear that this young man is indeed extraordinary.

"Fight me..." Xia You glanced at Xiao Yao, estimated the time in her mind, and then nodded. "Alright, it shouldn't take too long. In that case, let me experience the strength of you chief patrol officers."

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting immediately after just a few words, this was not the kind of development Hinata wanted to see.

"Wait a minute, Creation One!" She looked at Creation One and couldn't help but remind him, "Even if we're going to fight, now's not the time! Don't forget our current mission!"

"A mission?" Haruka tilted her head. "Hyuga-san, did something happen to you?"

After being reminded by her, Chuangyi came to his senses and realized that now was not the time for him to be so impulsive.

"Sorry, I got a little too excited just now." He said helplessly, "These past few days, an injured Pokémon has appeared in this forest. I heard that some Pokémon hunters have their eyes on it, so we are tracking and protecting it."

"I see..."

May didn't press for details about what kind of Pokémon it was. After all, she knew that the rarity of the Pokémon protected by these rangers wasn't really a factor. Even if it was a Caterpie, they would still protect it if needed.

It can only be said that the fact that a chief ranger was dispatched compared to ordinary rangers shows that the situation was indeed very critical.

Do you know which hunter has his eye on it?

Upon hearing Xia You's question, Hinata replied, "It's said to be that infamous Pokémon hunter J!"

"J?" Xiaoyao's eyes widened. "She ran away?"

Hearing her say that, Hinata and Soichi knew that something must have happened that they didn't know about, so they quickly pressed her for details.

Xiaoyao also recounted how they encountered J in the wild a few days ago, and how Xia You chased after her and took her to the police station.

"So that's how it is!" Hinata Kazuyo suddenly realized, then smiled wryly. "I didn't expect you to have caught her once before. But it seems she has already escaped. After all, the definite intelligence we received yesterday was that she had her eye on this Pokémon!"

Xia You nodded, not at all surprised by J's escape.

In fact, let alone these police detention cells, even the prisons of the international police cannot hold these people.

As long as there is someone outside to rescue them, they will almost certainly be able to escape.

This is why Xia You wasn't particularly keen on arresting those cadres before. After all, with the organizations behind them not yet completely eliminated, no matter how many times they were arrested, these people would always manage to leave safely in the end.

Only when, like Team Aqua and Team Magma are now, the capture can be considered truly effective, with the leader missing and the organization destroyed.

Therefore, throwing J into the police station as before would only delay their wrongdoing.

I just didn't expect J to be gone for such a short time.

It seems her subordinates are truly capable.

No wonder it has such a bad reputation...

"Then there's nothing we can do." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head. "We have to go to Binhai City next, and we also have to rush back to Lizhi Lake to participate in the Mikeli Cup. We can't stay here for too long."

Xia You's words couldn't be clearer.

So, if you want to fight, then fight now; if not, then we'll talk about it later.

However, given the chances of Xia You and Chuang Yi meeting again, it's probably going to be a long time before that happens.

Souichi and Hinata clearly understood this as well, so after hearing Xia You's words, the two couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Souichi naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, and Hinata also saw this.

"Let's have a quick spar," Hinata suggested. "We didn't find that Pokémon all night anyway, so a little longer won't hurt. Maybe it'll hear the noise and come running over on its own!"

Knowing that Hinata wanted to fulfill his own wish, Soichi still hesitated for a moment.

Normally, as the chief ranger, he would naturally prioritize the mission and know that the later he finds the Pokémon, the greater the risk of it being captured.

but now……

He certainly didn't want to miss out on such a powerful trainer.

This is the man who won three regional championships in a row!

If you really miss this opportunity, you'll never encounter an opponent like this again!

In the end, it was the overwhelming fighting spirit within him that prevailed.

Chuang Yi took a deep breath and said solemnly to Xia You, "I apologize, Mr. Xia You, but could you please spare some time to have a match with me?"

Faced with the challenge from Chuangyi, Xia You naturally wouldn't refuse him.

"Alright, since we don't have any extra time to waste, let's have a quick and decisive battle."

After saying that, Xia You turned her head and saw an open space nearby, so she walked over there first.

Upon seeing this, Chuangyi quickly followed.

Seeing that there was a battle to watch, Haruka and Yami walked over to Hinata and stood together at the edge, leaving a large area of ​​grass for Natsumi and Souichi.

Once they had stopped, Xia You put one hand in her pocket, looked at the young man in front of her, and spoke calmly.

How do you plan to fight this battle?

Based on his understanding of the rangers, he knew that these people did not usually capture Pokémon. Even during missions, they would temporarily capture wild Pokémon to serve as companions. Under the current circumstances, it was clear that he would not use such a method to battle him.

Without hesitation, Chuangyi said, "I only have one partner, so let's have a one-on-one match to decide the winner!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Souichi whistled towards the forest, and the next second, a small Pokémon that looked like a blue and white pine tree emerged from behind a tree, wagging its big tail, and ran up to Souichi's shoulder in a flash!

Oh, it's Patchlitz.

Just like Hyuga had a Powerful Maximus as his partner Pokémon, Souichi's partner was obviously this Pachirisu!

Speaking of this Pokémon, those who know Dawn will surely recognize it, as it is the third Pokémon she has caught. Known for its cute appearance and mischievous personality, it has left a deep impression on people.

Therefore, Xia You was naturally familiar with this kind of Pokémon.

Patchlitz is based on a squirrel, especially a chipmunk. It has blue ears with stripes extending down, yellow electric pouches on both sides of its cheeks, and a blue stripe that runs from the top of its head through its back to its tail, ending with three pointed protrusions. The stripe on the head of female Patchlitz is shorter than that of males.

In terms of habits, Pachirisu lives in trees and, like Pikachu, generates electricity using electric sacs on its cheeks. It also radiates the generated electricity through its tail. Although it is gentle in nature, touching its electrified tail or cheeks is still an extremely dangerous thing.

After considering the strength of the first creation, Xia You knew that this Patchlet must be very strong.

Who knows, it might even be able to put up a fight against a Pikachu in its normal form.

If that's the case, then what Pokémon should I use to battle it?

After pondering for a moment, in order to leave a deep impression on the chief ranger and demonstrate her strength, but not to defeat him too easily, Xia You finally raised the Poké Ball and released her Umbreon.

Speaking of which, his Umbreon hasn't participated in battles for a long time.

The main reason is that after reaching a certain level of development, I never encountered a suitable occasion or a suitable opponent again, and now it seems that this may be an opportunity.

As soon as Ibrahimovic entered the field, Pachirisu, who was on Chuangyi's shoulder, jumped down and ran onto the grass.

The two Pokémon faced each other from a distance, sizing each other up, and a fighting spirit slowly ignited in their eyes.

Hinata looked around and, seeing no one speak, boldly shouted "Start!" The moment her words fell, the two Pokémon in the arena moved simultaneously.

After a few sparks, the electric sacs on Pachirisu's cheeks flashed, and then a powerful bolt of lightning shot out, heading straight for Umbreon.

At almost the same time, Luna's Shadow Ball arrived.

These two energies, one yellow and one black, with different attributes, collided in mid-air, causing an explosion and producing a large amount of fire.

And just then, from within the smoke, Umbreon leaped out and pounced on Patchwerk.

Chuangyi naturally understood that Umbreon was better at close combat than attacking from a distance, so he was mentally prepared for its approach.

As he directed Patchlitz to meet the man, he also subconsciously glanced at the man opposite him.

strangeness……

Why hasn't this man given any orders now that they've already started fighting?

Are they still observing?

Or is it simply a matter of leaving the battle to one's own Pokémon?

As a chief ranger, Creation is clearly more accepting of Pokémon operating alone than trainers, since the essence of a ranger is to cooperate with Pokémon, not to command them.

So when he saw Xia You's actions, he was not surprised or disrespected; on the contrary, he thought Xia You was different from everyone else.

No wonder he's a champion in three regional tournaments, he's truly exceptional...

Despite his感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), he didn't stop giving orders. Under his command, Pachirisu was already engaged in close combat with Umbreon.

Speaking of which, because it can't evolve, Pachirisu's base stats aren't as high as Umbreon's, but because it has Electric, it's not weak at all in a head-to-head battle.

On the contrary, compared to fire or water attributes, electric attributes are more threatening in close combat!

However, the Dark-type Umbreon is not weak either.

In the blink of an eye, the two Pokémon had already exchanged several blows.

It's clear that Patchlet uses Electric-type moves very skillfully, and the current on its cheeks is released very quickly, which can catch people off guard. In addition, its electrified tail makes it quite difficult to deal with.

All I can say is, he truly deserves to be the chief ranger of the Ranger Alliance!

Although both he and Pachirisu have a lot of room for growth due to their age and experience, this does not prevent them from having outstanding talent in battle. In addition, their tacit cooperation with Pokémon complements each other and unleashes even greater power!

If it were any other challenger, he might have actually been defeated, but unfortunately, no matter how outstanding he is, this time he has to face Xia You!

Umbreon's strength is only average among Xia You's Pokémon, but this Pokémon not only blocked Pachirisu's various sharp attacks, but also suppressed it and forced Pachirisu into a disadvantageous position!

This is all without Xia You participating in the command!

The more they fought, the more surprised they became.

Patchlitz is finding it increasingly difficult to win.

At that moment, Umbreon seized a brief opening, first with a flash of lightning, and then, taking advantage of Pachirisu's unpreparedness, it rammed into Pachirisu from the side, knocking it back. It then followed up with a vicious attack, knocking Pachirisu to the ground in one fell swoop!

Patchlitz turned his head, leaned back, and fell onto the grass.

The outcome was decided. Seeing this result, Chuang Yi was secretly astonished, but could only manage a helpless bitter smile.

Is this the strength of a champion?

Both Pachirisu and I have given it our all, but we still can't pose much of a threat to this Umbreon. That's amazing!

Just as Hinata said!
