I caught a Pokémon

Xiaoxia nodded: "This person's name is Dayou. He's a nasty guy who's very annoying. We met him when we first started our journey, and Ash's Charizard was his Pokémon."

It turned out to be him!

Xia You suddenly realized that although he remembered the incident, he couldn't recall the person's appearance at all.

"Does he have any powerful Pokémon?"

“This…” Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi and Xiaogang, and seeing that they also shook their heads, she turned back apologetically, “We haven’t had much contact with him, so we didn’t notice what Pokémon he has, and we don’t know how strong he really is.”

"It's alright." Xia You didn't care at all. "Having intelligence is certainly a good thing, but even without it, facing unknown battles is more challenging and interesting."

After entering the information, the staff member said to Xia You, "Congratulations to this trainer for drawing the Grass Field. Let me see, oh, you've been scheduled for the second match. This match will be held at 11:00 AM, so please don't be late."

"OK, thank you!"

After the draw, there will be two hours to prepare. Then, the first match will start simultaneously in all four venues. The loser will be eliminated, and the winner will compete in the second match the day after tomorrow.

Fortunately, Xia You and Xiao Zhi's matches did not overlap, otherwise Xiao Xia and the others would have been in a real dilemma about who to cheer for.

Outside the lottery venue, there is a commercial pedestrian street.

The streets were lined with souvenir shops, luxury stores, and dessert shops, and the two girls were dazzled by the sights. They wanted to go into every single shop and explore it thoroughly.

Meanwhile, on the streets, a large number of reporters were interviewing trainers scattered everywhere. In addition to the Kanto regional television stations, several overseas reporters were also spotted!

Looking around, Xia You even spotted Jessie, Kojiro, and Meowth, disguised as reporters, mingling in the crowd, searching for which trainer had brought a rare Pokémon.

These people also saw Xia You, but they avoided eye contact and did not dare to approach her, nor did they intend to cause trouble.

It's perfect that we don't bother each other.

Xia You ignored them and had only taken a few steps forward when a group of people suddenly blocked his way.

"Brother Xia You!!!"

Xia You looked closely and realized that they were the biker gangs he had encountered on the cross-sea bridge in Qianhong City!

"Huh? What are you doing here too?"

Martha and Misa, beaming, leaned closer and said, "We came here specifically to cheer on our big brother!"

As they spoke, they showed Xia You a whole bunch of support items in their hands, including flags, banners, and megaphones.

"this…"

Xia You was indeed moved.

Although he hadn't wanted to have much contact with them before, the fact that they went to such lengths to cheer him on on such an important day was something that most people wouldn't do.

Nodding emphatically, Xia You said gratefully, "Thank you so much! I'll treat everyone to dinner after the competition!"

"What are you saying, brother?" Misa laughed. "We're your little brothers, it's our duty to cheer you on!"

Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!

I wonder how many zongzi you ate today?

Chapter 135 Interview and Appearance

Misa then noticed Ash and the others.

"Ah, I remember you!" she exclaimed suddenly. "Aren't you the kids from back then? So you knew Big Brother too?"

"That's right, it was us. Thank you for escorting us across the bridge." Xiao Gang nodded, then asked with some confusion, "But why did you call him 'Big Brother'?"

She glanced at them, remembering her promise to Xia You. Even though these people were her friends, Misa didn't tell them what had happened.

She spread her hands, glanced at them sideways, and said half-jokingly, "Of course, it's because we were deeply impressed by his strength after being defeated by him that we willingly acknowledged Xia You as our elder brother!"

"I see..."

Xiao Zhi and his friends were simple-minded and didn't suspect anything, believing that this was the real reason.

Misa turned to Xia You and clasped her hands together, saying, "Then, big brother, please do your best. I believe that no matter who your opponent is, you will not lose!"

Martha added, "That's right, that's right, we will always be your most loyal followers! Please show your prowess!"

"You people..." Xia You's face darkened. "Do you really think I'm invincible? You're really overestimating me! Everyone who can participate in this conference is very capable. Don't underestimate them!"

Misa and the others chuckled.

Although Xia You said that, they had already witnessed him defeat several of Team Rocket's executives, and had even seen his Zapdos and Articuno, so they naturally had complete confidence in him.

In the distance, perhaps seeing so many people, they thought something had happened, and a peculiar news team came over after hearing the news.

The woman holding the microphone was a stylishly dressed, well-proportioned, and beautiful young woman, whose unique hairstyle seemed vaguely familiar to Xia You.

The reason this newsgroup is considered peculiar is, of course, due to its other two members.

One of the Pokémon, which looks like a goat, is carrying various equipment and acting as a photographer, while another small Pokémon, which looks like a lizard, seems to be the female reporter's assistant!

Upon approaching, the female reporter smiled and said, "Hello, we are reporters from Miare Publishing. May we ask you a few questions?"

Before Xia You and the others could speak, Xiao Gang's eyes lit up as he leaped forward upon seeing the beautiful reporter.

"Ah! Beautiful lady, please interview me! No matter how many questions you have, I will answer them perfectly!"

Fearing that the reporter would broadcast such an embarrassing scene, Xiaoxia quickly flicked Xiaogang on the forehead, knocking him unconscious, and led him behind the crowd.

"Sorry, sorry, that's just how this person is, please don't mind it." Xia turned around and smiled awkwardly, then remembered something and couldn't help but ask, "But... Miare Publishing House? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it a TV station in which city?"

The female reporter explained, "Miare is an important city in the Carlos region. It's thousands of miles away, so you naturally wouldn't have heard of it. However, although our publishing house isn't a television station, it has a lot of influence locally!"

"Kalos region?" Xiaochun, Xiaoxia, and Xiaozhi were all surprised and turned to look at Xia You at the same time. "Isn't that the same place you're from?"

Seeing Xia You nod, the female reporter's eyes lit up, and she became interested.

"Oh? You're a player from Carlos?"

"You could say that," Xia You said meaningfully. "That's where I became a trainer and started chasing my dream."

Trainers from the Kalos region cross the ocean to challenge the League in this unfamiliar land.

With her excellent professional skills, the female reporter had already keenly grasped the hot topic, and she believed that this news would definitely attract widespread attention after Carlos broadcast it.

"Let me introduce myself." With that thought, she extended her hand to Xia You. "My name is Pansy, and I'm a special correspondent for Miare Publishing. If it's possible, I'd like to do an exclusive interview with you."

Pansies? It really was her!

Then I remembered her identity: not only was she a reporter, but she was also apparently the gym leader of Ebony City and Violet's older sister.

"Interview me?" Xia You thought about it seriously, but still shook her head and refused. "Sorry, I think it's better to forget it. I haven't achieved anything yet, and I don't want to make any big promises or set any flags before the competition. If you want an interview, let's wait until I pass the qualifiers first."

Pansy was taken aback by what she heard, and couldn't help but look at Xia You with newfound respect.

Everyone says you should become famous as early as possible, but she never imagined that anyone would refuse such a great opportunity to be in the limelight!

"Alright then, I wish you good luck in the qualifiers. We'll talk about this interview then!"

-

"Oh, oh, oh! Ladies and gentlemen, the second match on the grass field is about to begin!"

Inside the auxiliary area of ​​the Quartz Stadium, the host's passionate voice echoed through the loudspeaker to the audience.

"Thank you to the two players in the first match for giving us a very exciting battle. Now, let's welcome the two players in the second match of the Grass Field!"

Despite it being just a preliminary round, with four matches taking place simultaneously, the small arena was still packed with enthusiastic spectators who erupted in cheers and applause as each trainer appeared on either side of the arena.

Among these cheers, the unusually loud shouts of encouragement were particularly eye-catching.

Unaware of what was happening, the audience looked over and saw a dozen men and women dressed as biker gang members waving banners and colorful flags and shouting frantically in one of the stands.

Their energetic performance made people laugh, but also made them curious about who they were cheering for.

In the arena, feeling the deafening roar around her, Xia You walked through the passage and walked alone to the high platform of the trainer command area, facing her opponent on the other side.

Their eyes met, but no sparks flew. They simply gazed at each other silently before turning their attention to their surroundings.

The host began by introducing, "First up is Da-Yu from the red team!"

Da-yu waved to the crowd, receiving cheers in response, except for a small group of bikers who booed him.

After the cheers subsided, the host announced again, "Next up is Xia You from the green team!"

Xia You waved back, and this time, in addition to the friendly applause from the audience, the shouts of the biker gang were the most enthusiastic!

"Go, boss!!!"

"Let that kid over there see what you're made of!!!"

Their voices were extremely noticeable in the room, and even the cameras gave them close-ups multiple times.

Hearing the voice, Xia You immediately noticed their location. He couldn't help but smile wryly, nodded in acknowledgment, and then looked to their side.

There, Xiaochun, Xiaoxia, Xiaozhi, and Xiaogang sat in a row, all watching him with equal tension.

My heartfelt thanks to all the friends who love this book, and thank you for voting so often!

Please forgive my slow updates. I have no choice but to accept it because I'm under a lot of pressure in life and simply don't have the extra time to write.

Although few people read it now because of its style and writing, I will continue to write it as a hobby.

This book is expected to be over 300 million words long. Although there will be occasional breaks in updates due to time constraints, there is absolutely no need to worry about it being discontinued.

Chapter 136 Easily Crushed

On the big screen, Xia You and Da You's information was now displayed, and below their avatars were three icons indicating the number of Pokémon remaining.

The rules of the competition are 3V3 battles. Whoever loses all of their Pokémon will be disqualified from advancing to the next round.

A referee stood in the center of the arena. Seeing that both sides were ready, he raised his two small flags and shouted, "Both sides, please send out your Pokémon at the same time!"

Xia You cleared her mind of distractions and took out the Pokémon she had already chosen from her waist.

On the other side, Da You smiled confidently and also held a Poké Ball in his hand.

As both Pokémon simultaneously activated their Poké Balls, two flashes of blue light appeared, and a Pokémon with a pig-like nose, a spherical, furry body, and thick limbs, resembling a monkey, appeared on the field alongside Gardevoir!

It turns out to be a fiery monkey.

As a Fighting-type Pokémon, Primeape is at a complete disadvantage against Gardevoir, a Psychic-type and Fairy-type Pokémon.

When Gardevoir appeared, the audience, even those unfamiliar with Pokémon from other regions, were full of praise for its graceful movements.

Countless cameras were simultaneously pointed at it.

Even Dayou, who was on the other side, had never seen such a Pokémon before, given his limited knowledge and experience.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of Pokémon is that?"

Faced with the unknown, Da You frowned and quickly asked, but did not receive a reply from Xia You.

In front of so many viewers, he was too embarrassed to actually scan the Pokémon using his Pokédex.

Dayou, feeling rather troubled, could only guess Gardevoir's attributes from its appearance, but after taking a few glances, he could already sense a hint of danger from those blood-red eyes.

With a ringing bell, the competition officially began.

"Gardevoir, use Psychic!"

"Infernape, charge in and take it down!"

The two trainers gave the order at the same time, and just as Primeape was about to jump to Gardevoir, it was struck by an invisible psychic force, as if it had been hit by an invisible truck, and was slammed to the ground.

Due to the elemental advantage, this attack dealt double the damage.

Upon seeing this, Da You's guess was confirmed, and his expression changed drastically.

Damn it, it really is a Psychic Pokémon!

What a bad start!

After Gardevoir's move hit, it didn't give Primeape any chance to fight back and continued to use its psychic powers to suppress it.

The relentless psychic attacks caused Infernape to let out painful howls.

Da-you watched anxiously and urged, "Intense Monkey, fight back now!!"

In his agony, Intense Monkey frantically reached out and grabbed at his surroundings, accidentally bumping into a fist-sized rock. Upon seeing this, Daiyu's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a lifeline.
