I caught a Pokémon

And they were right; this woman did indeed have a deep understanding of Xia You.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to know these things!

Zhu Lan was slightly disappointed when she didn't see the expression she wanted on the three sisters' faces, but she didn't care and glanced behind her again.

Feeling her gaze, Yami immediately sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second, Zhu Lan said, "Judging from your expressions, you must know about this. In that case, I might as well tell you: the woman sitting behind me, Ya Mi, is also his woman!"

With just one sentence, Third Sister's attention was completely focused on Yami.

In an instant, Yami broke out in a cold sweat!

She never expected that Zhu Lan would actually 'sell' her!

Why bring me up out of the blue...?

She felt like crying, but feeling the hostile, scrutinizing, and suspicious gazes of the three people in front of her, she could only manage an awkward yet polite and friendly smile.

"Um... hello everyone. Although I already mentioned it once, my name is Yami. I'm currently traveling with Xia You and I'm also a trainer. Nice to meet you all!!"

Yami is practically revealing her measurements and age!

Xiao Juan, Xiao Tao, and Xiao Yu scrutinized Ya Mi from head to toe, their expressions playful, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as Yami's pressure suddenly increased and she was at a loss, the three sisters also withdrew their gaze and turned their attention back to Zhulan.

"So what do you mean? Did you bring this woman here specifically to provoke us?"

You guys are really indifferent!

Zhu Lan couldn't help but sigh.

She introduced Yami's identity not to disgust them, and in fact, she didn't have such low tastes.

He was simply stating the facts to them, which also meant telling them that he knew Xia You well and didn't want them to try to fob him off.

Even so, she still found the three men's cold attitude somewhat unbelievable.

These are their men's other women!

Shouldn't an ordinary person feel angry and upset?

This is also the part of Zhulan that she finds most perplexing.

What kind of bewitching potion did Xia You give them?

"I didn't mean that. I just felt that since you've met, you should at least know each other's identities."

"Let's get back to the point," Xiaojuan said, unwilling to dwell on the matter any longer. "What exactly did you contact us for?"

However, before Xiao Juan could finish speaking and before Zhu Lan could answer, Xiao Yu suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute, you said before that you and Xia You had a grudge, what's that about?"

Zhu Lan turned her head and looked at the woman with a very cold and aloof temperament.

From her tone and eyes, Zhu Lan sensed obvious hostility, and there was even a sense that she was ready to fight at the slightest provocation!

Oh?

That's pretty assertive.

I never expected it to be a rose with thorns!

Even so, Zhu Lan didn't take it to heart, and just smiled calmly: "He must have offended me in some way, so I still have a score to settle with him!"

"You?!" Xiaoyu immediately stood up and turned hostile.

It can be said that among these five sisters, Xiaoyu is the most impolite and the most aggressive!

“Yes, me.” Zhu Lan retorted, looking back defiantly. “Do you have a problem with that?”

Since she had come to him of her own accord, how could Zhu Lan possibly be afraid?

Xiaoyu smiled, her smile as radiant as a hundred flowers in bloom: "Of course I have objections. Now that you know who we are, how can I stand to see my man's enemy swaggering around like this!"

"Xiaoyu!"

Xiao Juan and Xiao Tao both looked at Xiao Yu, seemingly wanting to stop her behavior.

After all, Zhu Lan is a guest, and there's a procedure and etiquette of handing out business cards in advance. Whether it's out of good manners or something else, Xiao Yu really shouldn't have said such a thing!

But once Xiaoyu gets stubborn, no one can stop her.

She would never listen to her two older sisters.

She simply stared intently at Zhu Lan: "I don't care what you and my older sister have to say, but first, you have to beat me!"

After saying that, Xiaoyu got up and left the room without giving Zhulan a chance to object!

Although they felt that the matter was indeed a little inappropriate, Xiao Juan and Xiao Tao naturally wouldn't embarrass their younger sister.

She could only sigh inwardly at her impulsiveness.

"I'm sorry you had to see this." Xiao Juan smiled apologetically, then changed the subject, "My sister is just like this, please don't mind her. But what she said is right. Since you have a grudge against Xia You, you're not friends with us. It's getting late, so how about this: you and she fight tomorrow. Whether we win or lose, we'll settle our scores here. Then we can talk about other things."

Although it was a discussion, Xiao Juan's tone left no room for Zhu Lan to refute.

interesting.

Zhu Lan smiled slightly.

Yami said before that they were just stage actors, but I didn't expect them to be so combative!

But that's fine too. She's not good at saying anything, and obviously, there's no more direct way to resolve things than fighting.

Since we can't communicate for the time being, let's settle things with a fight!

"Okay," Zhu Lan readily agreed, "Then we'll come visit again tomorrow!"

After saying this, Zhu Lan didn't linger. She got up and turned to leave. Seeing this, Ya Mi also hurriedly got up, bowed slightly to Xiao Juan and Xiao Tao, and quickly followed Zhu Lan.

Chapter 1112 So the Thunder God has always been in your hands!

After Liang Zhulan and Yami left, Xiaojuan and Xiaotao also left the reception room and went to Xiaoyu's room.

As soon as she entered, Xiao Tao couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yu, you were too impulsive just now. How could you just challenge someone to a duel like that?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Xiaoyu said dismissively. "She's already come to our door, saying she has a conflict with Xia You. Are we supposed to back down?"

"That's still not how you should have said it," Xiao Tao said helplessly. "At least we should have listened to what she had to say first. Besides... I feel that since she has a grudge against Xia You, she must be very strong. Shouldn't we be more cautious?"

“There’s no point in talking about this now.” Xiao Juan shook her head. “I’m actually thinking about what exactly happened with that girl named Ya Mi.”

"What else could it be?" Xiaoyu snorted coldly. "Didn't you just hear it yourself? They said she's also Xia You's woman. It's outrageous! That guy really is messing around outside!"

Xiao Juan's focus was clearly not on that.

Xia You flirting with other women outside of their marriage made her feel helpless and sad, but ultimately, they couldn't do anything about it.

only…

"Don't you find it strange?" Xiao Juan said. "If Ya Mi is really Xia You's woman, why is she with Zhu Lan? And why did they come here together?"

Upon hearing her mention this, Xiaotao and Xiaoyu also realized this.

“Something’s not right,” Xiao Tao frowned. “According to Zhu Lan’s description, she and Xia You are rivals, so why is she with his woman?”

"Hmph, who knows?" Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. "Maybe this guy named Zhulan is all talk and no action, but the truth is he's just sticking up for this Yami!"

Xiao Tao hesitated, then tentatively asked, "Then...should we ask Xia You?"

"No need," Xiaoyu raised her head. "There's absolutely no need for that. We'll defeat her tomorrow, and then everything will be clear!"

“Alright.” At this point, knowing that the matter was irreversible, Xiao Juan made the decision. “Anyway, there’s no performance tomorrow morning, so let’s wait until Xiao Yu has finished fighting with her before we make a plan.”

...

The next morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, Zhu Lan and Ya Mi went directly to the five sisters' home.

Since they had already been here once last night, they were very familiar with the road and weren't worried about getting lost.

Upon arriving at the gate, without needing to announce their arrival, the maid they had met the day before led them directly into the mansion.

Unlike yesterday when they couldn't see the layout clearly, today the two of them finally realized just how luxurious the mansion was.

Leaving aside the buildings connected by covered walkways, the garden landscape alone is exceptional, exuding a classical historical charm.

They really are rich.

With a sigh, Zhu Lan turned her gaze away from the group and followed the maid. After just one night, she saw Xiao Juan, Xiao Tao, and Xiao Yu again.

The three sisters had been waiting for a long time.

They had changed into kimonos and were standing in the courtyard on a makeshift battlefield. Xiaoyu watched Zhulan stroll over, her sharp eyes fixed on her.

That gaze was as sharp as a knife, cutting painfully.

However, judging from the confident expression that Zhu Lan exudes from within, it is clear that this woman is also very confident in herself.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu couldn't help but snort inwardly.

Speaking of which, this simple open-air arena under their feet has existed for a long time. When Xia You used to live here, she often fought against Xiao Yu in this arena.

Although it's just compacted soil and there are no rocks or trees in the field, it seems to serve only a basic function. However, the wear and tear on the field shows that people often practice here.

This also gave Zhu Lan a sudden realization.

It seems that they are not just stage actors as Yami said. At least this black-haired woman named Xiaoyu is definitely the more combative one!

Especially since this woman seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, without any intention of communicating, she just wanted to start fighting right away. She was quite direct, and had a really capable personality.

However, bamboo orchids are not afraid of these.

Isn't fighting what she excels at the most?

Standing opposite Xiaoyu, Zhulan didn't waste any words and asked directly, "What are the rules?"

Xiaoyu has a very strong personality and never hesitates to make things difficult, which is why Xia You entrusted Lei Gong to her.

The more assertive Zhu Lan is, the more she will confront her head-on!

Seeing that Cynthia was full of fighting spirit, Jade also went straight to the point, raising a Poké Ball in her hand: "There are no rules, you just need to beat me into submission."

Although it sounds simple, judging from this woman's appearance, she doesn't seem like the type to give up easily...

However, since the other party has said so, Zhu Lan now only has one goal left, which is to really beat her into submission!

Although if word got out, people might think that she, as the Sinnoh champion, was bullying a small person like this, she couldn't help but take it seriously when she thought that Xiaoyu was Xia You's woman.

Whether it was the friction with Xia You or the belief that he wouldn't find a pretty face, Zhu Lan had to be cautious about this battle.

Otherwise, if we accidentally capsize, it would be a real laughing stock!

With that thought in mind, she took out the Poké Ball she had prepared beforehand and was the first to release her Pokémon.

With a flash of blue light, her Garchomp appeared on the battlefield.

Anyone who knows Cyndaquil knows just how good her Garchomp is.

Sending out this Pokémon in this situation shows that she really wasn't going to hold back.

This also made Yami a little worried.

Although she and Xiaoyu didn't know each other before and had no relationship, they were on the same side, so she naturally didn't want Xiaoyu to lose so badly.

But it's obviously impossible to let the bamboo orchid release water.

We can only hope that this 'sister' we've never met before will perform well.

On the other side, seeing that Cynthia, the one who came to challenge them, actually released her Pokémon, Tama felt that she was being looked down upon.

All I can say is, it's the same old story.

Because she didn't understand, she didn't know Zhu Lan's fighting style, let alone how powerful the woman in front of her really was.

But even if she knew, given Xiaoyu's personality, she would probably be fearless.

Because of her superior status and the constant challenges she faces, it has become a habit for Cynthia to be the first to release her Pokémon and show her team to her opponents.

Xiaoyu was unaware of these things and only thought that Zhulan was quite arrogant.

But it must be said that this Pokémon in front of you is indeed quite intimidating.

Although Xiaoyu didn't recognize Garchomp, that didn't stop her from noticing that this Pokémon was unusual.

Even so, Xiaoyu did not back down at all.
