I caught a Pokémon

Someone recognized them and let out a small gasp.

After listening to just a few sentences, Xia You understood that the twins must be trainers from a certain city who were already somewhat famous in the area.

Moreover, it seems that he only plays two-player battles and specializes in only one type of battle, and has even achieved a certain winning streak!

No wonder he looks so confident right now.

Xia You shook her head inwardly. Because of her and Liu Qiya's special status, she could not introduce herself in such a situation. So she simply nodded to them in a friendly manner, which seemed a little impolite.

Fortunately, the twins didn't mind and simply released their respective Pokémon.

With two flashes of blue light, two identical Ursarings appeared in front of their respective trainers.

It has to be said that since they are twins and use the same Pokémon, it's even harder to tell them apart.

Looking at the four tall figures in the arena, Xia You felt as if she were seeing four bears!

It's unclear whether they chose Ursaring as their Pokémon because of their physique, or whether they trained them to have such a physique because they liked Ursaring.

It's possible that it's a combination of both.

Without saying anything more, the battle began immediately.

Xia You quickly realized why they were so proud and had made a name for themselves.

These two circly bears may look identical in height, weight, and even their markings, but they are completely different in their specialties.

The one on the left is stronger, while the one on the right is exceptionally fast. This wouldn't normally be a big deal, but the brilliance lies in the fact that during battle, as their figures intertwine, it's often difficult to distinguish which one is which in the blink of an eye.

So when I was being careful to guard against the stronger one, I made a mistake and got hit by the faster Pokémon. Similarly, when I was guarding against the faster Ursaring, I accidentally encountered the stronger one!

The main tactic is to confuse the public!

It's easy to imagine that this fighting style must have caused considerable trouble for their previous opponents.

Even Ryukia mistook it for something else several times.

But for Xia You...

In fact, everyone has their own unique fighting style. Take Ash, for example. When people mention him, they immediately think of his fast attacks and his imaginative, passionate battles.

But when it comes to Xia You's style, whether it's his opponents or his friends, what comes to mind is his steady and suffocating rhythm that leaves no chance for his opponents.

Especially in the main competition of such a tournament, as long as he reveals a flaw or seizes an opportunity, his dominance will last from beginning to end, making everyone who fights against him feel powerless.

Under his eyes, the two circly bears looked as if they had been marked.

No matter how their figures changed positions during the battle, or how they quickly switched places using the smoke, they could not escape his eyes, which seemed to see through everything!

You could say that Xia You's fighting style lacks passion, surprise, and the necessary excitement, but you would never say that his fighting style is worrying; it seems that as long as he stands there, the match is already won.

This made the fight exceptionally difficult for the twins.

Yes, it is difficult.

It's so hard!

They just couldn't understand it. It was their first time meeting, they had never interacted before, and they had won so many times before. No matter how the Pokémon changed positions or tried to deceive them, how could the man on the other side accurately identify which Ursaring was theirs?

This is unbelievable!

The fact that this trick was exposed deprived the twins of their greatest advantage, and they were easily defeated, just like ordinary passersby.

Clearly, their winning streak has come to an end.

But there was no time for them to feel disappointed. No sooner had they left than someone else eagerly took their place.

It's clear that Xia You and Liu Qiya's troublesome nature has already stirred up a fighting spirit in these people!

But clearly, the two are in great form, their teamwork is becoming more and more seamless, and their strength is undeniable. Even if their opponents change again and again, they still can't defeat their combination.

Finally, because Chimchar and Froakie were severely exhausted, Xia You had no choice but to end the battle and stop fighting.

This made those who didn't get a chance to fight them secretly sigh with regret, but they still cheered and applauded them.

"That's amazing! Eight consecutive wins, right?"

"That's right! It's incredible. Despite going through so many battles, those two Pokémon became stronger with each fight and defeated so many other Pokémon!"

"Don't you guys feel that compared to these two Pokémon, those two trainers are the truly powerful ones?"

"That's right! They have such great chemistry, are they a regular pair?"

Listening to the whispers around her, Rukia smiled broadly.

The word "fixed partner" made her secretly happy.

This feeling brought her far more joy than successfully putting on a concert!

Despite playing eight games and winning all eight, the game only took a little over an hour.

Although the time was short, Rukia was highly focused during this period, shouting and giving commands. Just like the Pokémon, she was also exhausted and clearly unable to fight anymore.

Seeing her like this, Xia You couldn't help but shake her head with amusement when the two left the square.

"Don't you sing and jump around at your concerts? It must be more tiring. How come you can't handle such a short time?"

“That’s different.” Rukia’s smile remained unchanged. “Those were all rehearsed in advance. You just had to follow the script. But these kinds of battles are very mentally taxing. In those last few battles, I used every strategy I knew before!”

As she said this, she looked at Xia You with bright eyes.

The more they fought side by side, the more she realized how capable this man was.

Although she is a glamorous idol, she is also quite capable in battles. However, even so, it would be impossible for her to achieve such an easy winning streak when commanding a Pokémon that is not her own and is not in its final form, let alone in a relatively high-level two-player battle.

But Xia You insisted on guiding her, helping her gradually get into the swing of things, find that feeling, and bringing her to such a height!

That's quite remarkable.

It's important to know that those who dare to challenge them, especially after the two have won consecutive victories, revealed their lineups, and showcased all their moves, are no weaklings. They have also made corresponding adjustments, making them a formidable force.

Even so, Xia You still led her to victory in all battles, which was truly extraordinary.

This made Rukia admire this man even more.

No wonder he's the man I, Rukia, have my eye on!

For the rest of the time, Xia You didn't challenge anyone to a fight, seemingly content with the situation.

Of course, it's also possible that his two Pokémon were genuinely tired.

He simply took Rukia for a leisurely stroll through the resort, then bought some desserts. While eating, they followed the main road to visit Haruka and Yami.

May and Mimi were practicing the moves they already knew by heart on the lawn furthest behind the Pokémon Center with the Pokémon. Even though they were just basic skills, she practiced so seriously that she didn't notice the arrival of the two of them at first.

Xia You and Liu Qiya watched for quite a while until they took a break, and then they went over.

Their approach quickly caught the attention of Xiaoyao and Yami.

Upon seeing that it was Xia You, the two women smiled almost simultaneously.

"Brother Xia You, what brings you here?"

"Of course I came to 'visit the set' and see how things are going for you guys."

As they spoke, Xia You handed the desserts to them. Xiao Yao and Ya Mi were delighted when they saw what the desserts were, and they quickly opened the packaging and started eating them in small bites.

The sentiment behind the gift is not about its price, but rather about who gave it to you.

Therefore, even such inexpensive desserts felt sweeter to the two women after being prepared by Xia You.

Hmm... Not only is my stomach sweet, but my heart is sweet too.

Just then, as Xia You was distributing the remaining desserts to Xiao Yao's Pokémon, Rukia sat down next to Xiao Yao.

Unlike her confrontational approach with Hikari, Rukia didn't treat this seemingly quiet girl with the same hostility. On the contrary, she got along quite well with her and had a very good impression of her.

Facing Xiaoyao's gaze, she simply chuckled: "Your basic skills are amazing. Some of those moves were quite difficult, but I didn't expect you to complete them so easily. No wonder you can travel with Mr. Xia You!"

Hearing the sincerity in Rukia's tone, May smiled happily: "Actually, I feel that you are the truly amazing one. You are the same age as me, but you are already a household name and a glamorous idol. In fact, your name is more well-known than those top Coordinators!"

“That’s different.” Rukia shook her head. “You’re good because you’re a Coordinator, while I’m famous simply because I’m good-looking and have a sweet voice. So, as a Coordinator, you are the one who is qualified.”

Haruka was a little surprised, she didn't expect Rukia to say such a thing to her!

"Then..." she hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Then why don't you continue to be a Trainer Coordinator?"

“Because I also love singing!” Rukia turned around and gave her a beautiful smile. “I also love being on stage and bringing joy to everyone through my singing, which is why I chose this path.”

Xiaoyao is not a talkative person, and she didn't know what to say at this moment.

But at that moment, Rukia suddenly sighed.

Actually... I'm still quite envious of you.

"Envious of me?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled. "What do you envy about me?"

“Of course, I want to be able to travel with Mr. Xia You forever.” Ryukia’s eyes sparkled, but she kept staring into May’s eyes. “Sometimes I think, if only I were still an ordinary Coordinator, then I could put everything aside and travel with Mr. Xia You.”

Xiaoyao's eyes suddenly widened.

She knew that Ryukia liked Xia You; she knew this from when Xiaoxia told her to be wary of Ryukia.

She knew it from Rukia's gaze.

She also found out from the way Lucia kept pestering Xia You.

But this was the first time she had heard Ryukia admit to it herself.

It has to be said that this made Xiaoyao feel a considerable sense of crisis.

"You...this..." Xiaoyao opened her mouth, but finally stammered, "Actually, if you just asked, I think Brother Xia You would still agree..."

“No way.” Ryukia shook her head in distress. “You don’t know how popular I am right now. If our crazy fans find out that I’m traveling with Mr. Xia You, it will definitely cause him a lot of trouble. There will even be some unpleasant comments online.”

So that's what she was worried about!

Xiao Yao wants to say that even if all your fans came, they definitely wouldn't be a match for Brother Xia You.

But out of selfishness, she opened her mouth but couldn't bring herself to say it.

Fortunately, Rukia didn't really care. She seemed to be simply expressing her envy, and after her sigh, she smiled at Haruka again.

"Well... but it's fine as it is now." She counted on her fingers and said, "Every time I part ways with Mr. Xia You, I look forward to the next time we meet. And after we meet again, I find that I like him even more, and I look forward to the next meeting even more. Xiao Yao, I'm sorry to say this to you, but I still have to tell you, keep a close eye on Mr. Xia You, because maybe after one of these times, I'll kidnap him!"

Xiaoyao was dumbfounded, but immediately, she felt her cheeks burning red, and she felt like crying but had no tears in her heart.

Xiaoxia...

I... I finally understand why you see her as the biggest threat!

Chapter 1015 What is Popularity!

At eight o'clock in the morning, after having a leisurely breakfast, Xia You and his group walked towards the large venue by the lake that he had seen before.

In fact, it wasn't just them; almost everyone on the street was heading in that direction. If you could look down from above, you could see a continuous stream of people pouring into the venue from three different directions, a dense mass of people like ants, which was truly spectacular.

With people all around them, Xia You and her companions couldn't move quickly even if they wanted to, and could only keep up with the pace of the crowd.

Even under such circumstances, Xiao Gang continued to harass the various beautiful older women he encountered. However, every time he tried to strike up a conversation, he was paralyzed and knocked down by the nasty frog that followed. This meant that each of his attempts to strike up a conversation lasted only for the duration of a single sentence. But like a warrior, no matter how many times he fell, he could immediately revive on the spot after seeing another beautiful older woman.

Sometimes Xia You couldn't help but wonder if Xiao Gang had also been blessed by some Pokémon, otherwise why would he be so enthusiastic about it?

Fortunately, the Pokémon Center wasn't far from the venue, or rather, the entire resort wasn't very big. So, before Brock caused panic among the women around him, they arrived at their destination in just over ten minutes.

Standing in front of the venue entrance, Xia You, Ya Mi, and Xiao Gang stood to one side, temporarily saying goodbye to Xiao Yao, Xiao Guang, and Xiao Zhi.

"Now it's your turn to perform! We'll be cheering you on from the audience."

Upon hearing Xia You's words, before Xiao Yao and Xiao Guang could speak, Xiao Zhi had already patted his chest in confidence.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely get this medal this time!"

"Don't even think about it. If you want to win the badge, you'll have to defeat us first!"

Nearby, Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang exchanged a smile upon seeing Xiaozhi's confident demeanor, and then their gazes simultaneously turned to Xia You, each with a different expression in their eyes.

"Brother Xia You, let's go in then."

"Good luck!" Xia You nodded and said good luck, but just as the two women turned to leave, he called them back.

Seeing them all turn their heads, Xia You first said to Xiao Yao, "Just do it the way you always do, take it one step at a time, I believe you can do it."

Xiaoyao returned his smile with a bright smile.

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you!"
