I caught a Pokémon

They actually managed to seduce Cresselia... no, to attract her!

Although Xia You and Xiao Yao were somewhat surprised, their expressions remained relatively calm.

After all, they had seen the legendary Pokémon far too many times before.

Not to mention what she has seen, just the things Xia You possesses are too numerous to count on two hands.

Compared to them, Cattleya was undoubtedly both surprised and delighted.

To my delight, Cresselia actually appeared; but I was also astonished by how incredibly powerful this Gengar was, managing to do just that!

However, she reacted quickly. Upon seeing Cresselia appear, she immediately ordered her Gothic lady to go to meet her.

"Creselia, I challenge you!"

Xia You didn't know if Gadria had ever interacted with the legendary Pokémon before, but she must have seen them, after all, she was one of the Elite Four and her experience couldn't be that low, but she probably hadn't participated in any capture battles.

At this moment, her face showed a hint of nervousness, but more than that, it showed seriousness.

Sensing the emotions of the human woman before her, Cresselia looked down at her.

Perhaps sensing the powerful superpowers emanating from Cattleya, Cresselia didn't leave immediately but instead slowly descended, which undoubtedly revealed a signal.

It has agreed to fight!

Xia You and Xiao Yao exchanged a glance, and taking advantage of the moment, they quickly moved further away from the battlefield with Gengar, who had transformed back, to give them space.

Next, it's Cattleya and Cresselia's turn.

They just need to see themselves as two competent spectators.

At that moment, May finally had some free time. She first carefully examined the Dream God, and then took out her Pokédex and pointed it at it.

Judging from its appearance, Cresselia is about 1.5 meters tall, which is neither too big nor too small for a legendary Pokémon.

It has a light blue body, a yellow belly, crescent-shaped yellow decorations on both sides of its head, and pink ring wings on its sides and back, making it look mysterious and elegant.

Although this kind of Pokémon is very popular, given Xia You's aesthetic sense...

I just think it's really average.

It is said that Cresselia are all females, with no males in the species. I really don't know how they reproduce and thrive.

When it flies in the night sky, it emits shimmering particles from its gauze-like wings, leaving a bright trail of light, just like before, shining with seven colors.

The closer it gets to the new moon, the longer and more beautiful the aurora borealis extending from Cresselia's tail becomes, which is why it is called the embodiment of the new moon.

It is said that if you sleep with Cresselia's feather, you will have a sweet dream, which makes its feather very popular. Of course, this has also led to the creation of many counterfeit products, such as dyed feathers of other Pokémon, to pass off as genuine Cresselia feathers.

May's Pokédex also chimed with a message: "Beep, Cresselia, Psychic type, Crescent Pokémon. When it flies, it emits shimmering particles from its veil-like wings. It is known as the embodiment of the crescent moon. Because it brings good dreams, it is also called the Dream God."

"Oh, Goddess of Dreams..."

Hearing Xiaoyao murmur this name, Xia You turned to look at her.

Are you envious?

Xiaoyao nodded frankly: "A little."

Xia You's eyes softened: "Don't worry, just like Xiao Guang, you will also have a legendary Pokémon, I promise."

At this moment, Miss Gothic made her move.

A powerful mental energy shot out from its hands, heading straight for Cresselia.

Honestly, there's not much to see when two Psychic-type Pokémon battle each other.

Firstly, they share the same attributes. Although their moves appear very intense, their actual effect on the body is greatly reduced.

Second...

Superpowers are generally invisible and intangible, unlike fire, water, and lightning techniques which are more obvious. Unless an exceptionally powerful force is condensed, the visual impact of the battle is greatly reduced.

Not to mention at night.

Like it is now.

Miss Goth's psychic attack only flashed through the air once, like a hazy wave of air after a surge. If it weren't for the nearby campfire burning brightly, which allowed them to see it, it would have been hard to notice!

Although the visual effect is not obvious, its power is real.

Although Cresselia, also a psychic, can only inflict half damage with psychic attacks, this Dream Goddess clearly won't let her brother and sister succeed so easily.

The majesty of legendary Pokémon is not something that just any ordinary Pokémon can casually touch.

A barrier formed by superpowers instantly appeared in front of Cresselia, blocking the powerful psychic attack.

Cresselia's position didn't even move.

Regardless, Gothia is Caitlin's signature Pokémon, and this Unova Elite Four member's strength is not just for show; it's earned through real battles, making her a true powerhouse.

Although the mental attack was blocked, it did not affect Miss Goth's subsequent attack.

A barrage of attacks was unleashed from its hands and shot towards Cresselia.

As a legendary Pokémon, Cresselia is indeed very strong, otherwise it wouldn't be able to stop Darkrai every year at this time. But overall, it's not one of the top Pokémon.

It is at least no match for top-tier Pokémon like Rayquaza and Dialga.

This means that although it is stronger than Lady Gothic of Cattleya, it is not strong enough to overwhelm it.

As Miss Gothic revealed her strength and relentlessly pressed her, not only did Cresselia's barrier shatter, but she herself was also forced to evade.

Even if the damage is halved between items of the same attribute, it still can't withstand being hit too many times.

However, Cresselia's counterattack has arrived.

A certain gap in strength naturally leads to very obvious results.

Cresselia could easily withstand Miss Gothia's attacks, but Miss Gothia had to do everything in her power to avoid being defeated by Cresselia's offensive.

Superpower energy raged across the empty platform.

As both sides' moves were blocked, dodged, and neutralized, the overall feeling on the battlefield changed.

Xia You watched silently the whole time.

In his opinion, it is highly undesirable to have a Pokémon like Cattleya that only has Psychic as its main attribute.

A team with too much uniformity may not be able to handle unexpected situations properly.

Just like now, if Gadria had a Pokémon whose type was super effective against Rathalia, she wouldn't be in such a difficult and passive position as she is now.

This is also what Xia You doesn't understand the most.

After all, it's fine for those gym leaders to have similar team attributes so that challengers can perform better. Adjustments can be made based on their teams to help newcomers grow. But why should the Elite Four limit their teams?

Can't we be as comprehensive as bamboo orchids?

Is it simply because you like it that you want to do this?

Or perhaps they intend to take a risky approach by focusing on a single attribute, aiming to reach the pinnacle of that attribute?

In any case, for Xia You, this combination is definitely more harmful than beneficial, and it is also very unfriendly to them personally.

Perhaps the league has some requirements for them.

That's the only way he could understand it.

Boom!

Miss Gothia was ultimately no match for Cresselia, and at some point, the latter found an opportunity to knock her to the ground.

Despite being injured by this attack, Miss Gothic still has the strength to fight back.

However, Gadria did not let it fight to the end. Instead, she instantly recalled it, took out a new Poké Ball, and quickly released a second Pokémon.

With a flash of blue light, a Metagross monster appeared in front of Cresselia.

Xiaoyao was no longer a novice, and upon seeing this lineup change, she immediately guessed what Gadria meant.

"Metamorphosis is a Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon. While its offensive capabilities remain largely unchanged, it is now more resistant to Psychic-type attacks on the defensive end. It's a great change!"

This is the simplest and most straightforward principle, and it's something most trainers can come up with.

But Xia You clearly had a deeper perspective on this.

“That’s only one aspect,” he chuckled. “Actually, Cattleya is looking for that Pokémon so she can perform better when facing Cresselia.”

Although it sounds similar to attribute advantage, they are definitely two different concepts.

After all, each Pokémon has different characteristics and personality, and other aspects are also very important in addition to the advantages and disadvantages of its attributes.

Meanwhile, Gadria is constantly trying to find out which Psychic-type Pokémon in her team has an advantage when fighting Cresselia.

Although the two didn't raise their voices intentionally, they still reached Cattleya's ears because they were not far apart.

This made Gadriya look at Xia You with new respect once again.

That's exactly what she thought.

The fact that Xia You was able to think of this in an instant shows that his understanding is far superior to that of ordinary trainers!

It seems that not only is his Pokémon incredibly powerful, but his intellect is also outstanding…

No wonder they won the tournament in three regions in a row!

After switching to Metagross, Cattleya played even more aggressively.

May is right. The Steel type gives Metagross a defensive advantage, which does make Cattleya more relaxed.

While it's not quite enough to completely ignore it, at least we don't have to be as wary of Cresselia's attacks as we were before.

However, as mentioned before, the significant difference in strength gives Cresselia a strong suppressive force.

Some stones beside the altar were blasted into fragments by the splashing superpowers, which flew everywhere.

Some of the wind blew onto the Metagross and then off its smooth, steel body.

The two Pokémon engaged in a fierce battle, fighting from the ground to the low sky, and then back to the ground.

The sounds of their attacks clashing were deafening, creating a huge commotion that shook the entire island.

This also shows that, as expected of one of the Elite Four, Cadilla's Pokémon are truly powerful.

Most people's Pokémon would have been defeated in an instant, and very few people can last as long as her Pokémon.

In a split second, Cresselia unleashed a powerful attack, sending Metagross flying backward until it crashed into a massive rock before coming to a stop.

Seeing this, Gadria didn't hesitate at all and decisively recalled Metagross, then took out a third Poké Ball.

Even as the lineup was being changed, her new Pokémon was already revealed.

Chapter 1108 Cattleya: It's a fluttering feeling

This time, Cattleya sent out a Pokémon with a very unique design.

It looks somewhat like a bird, no, it should be said that it has some bird-like characteristics, but it is not a bird. More like a Mayan or other similar rainforest civilization, that exotic and colorful strange totem!

Its body is covered with colorful feathers, making it look as if it has been dyed from a distance.

Its totem-like body has a blue eye, and trident-shaped, ear-like structures on both sides of its body. It has a pair of wings and a tail similar to the wings. Both the wings and the tail have four feathers, each with blue and red stripes. It doesn't resemble a living creature at all, but rather... an exquisite temple ornament.

Just like Miss Gothic, May was naturally seeing a Pokémon like this for the first time.

She quickly scanned the Pokémon with her Pokédex.

Pokémon Pokédex entry: "Drip, symbolizing a bird, a bird-like Pokémon with Psychic and Flying types. It was once the guardian of an ancient city, retaining memories of its time protecting the ancient city. It has always patrolled along the same route. Some believe it is the messenger of the guardian deity, able to fly in the air using its psychic powers, guarding against intruders. It seems that digging in places where it frequently appears can reveal what appear to be the ruins of an ancient city."

Symbolic bird?

Fortunately, May's Pokédex, like Xia You's, had its data expanded to include Pokémon data from other regions; otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to identify this iconic bird.

Even so, she still found it very novel to see Pokémon from other regions that she had never seen before.

That looks really strange.

Is it a bird, or what?

As soon as it appeared, the symbol bird immediately launched an attack.

Because they can fly, although they are not that fast, the battle between the Symbol Bird and Cresselia has completely shifted to the sky.

Actually, everyone could see it clearly at that moment.

That is because Cattleya knew that her individual Pokémon strength was inferior to Cresselia's, so she used this method of taking turns fighting.
