I caught a Pokémon

I'd say the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

He gestured for everyone to pause for a moment, then walked to a slightly flat rock by the roadside and answered the phone.

"hello?"

Xia You greeted him first, and immediately, the handsome man's slightly hoarse, deep voice, as if he had been up for several sleepless nights, came from the other end of the phone.

"I know you're busy, so I'll keep it short." The handsome guy seemed to be in a place with a weak signal, as the background noise was a bit loud. "According to the route you gave me before, you should be near Fanba City right now, right?"

“It’s definitely around here.” Compared to him, Xia You’s voice was much clearer and cleaner. “I just left Liyong City not long ago and am heading towards Fanba City.”

"That's good." The handsome man visibly relaxed. "We've received reliable intelligence that the Plasma Team has a destroyer in the waters near Fanba City. It's not an ordinary small boat; it's a large vessel they built using special technology. They've been very active lately and may be planning a large-scale operation. If you see it—"

Before the handsome man could finish speaking, Xia You interrupted him with a smile: "I understand, destroy that destroyer, right?"

It was obvious that the handsome man paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and whispered, "The higher-ups mean that it would be best if we could capture it. After all, the plasma team's technology is very advanced, and that ship is definitely no exception. We might be able to get something from it. Of course, if it's inconvenient, we can also destroy it."

"What...we have to find a way to seize it? That's too much trouble."

Xia You muttered a complaint, while simultaneously trying to recall information about the Plasma Team destroyer in his mind.

Surprisingly, he did remember some things.

"I advise you not to get your hopes up too high."

Hearing that Xia You had something in mind, the handsome man was quite surprised: "What? You know about this destroyer?"

"I only know a little bit." Xia You looked up at the sky and said as she recalled, "As far as I know, that plasma destroyer seems to be their main means of transportation. However, although it is called a destroyer, it is actually just a large sailing ship. Oh... it seems to be able to charge with solar energy. The technology is indeed quite advanced, but it is not easy to capture."

The handsome man asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

Xia You laughed heartily: "Although it usually stays on the water's surface, that's just a trick to deceive people. Its real mode of movement is flying!"

"Flying!?" The handsome man was extremely surprised. "You mean, it's a flying ship!?"

“Of course.” Xia You gave an affirmative answer. “Didn’t you just say that the Plasma Team’s technology is very advanced? And as their main means of transportation, how can it not have some unique features? And like I said, trying to steal… um… capture a flying ship is not an easy task. We can’t drive it, and if we’re not careful, we might crash.”

The news was so shocking that the handsome man didn't respond immediately.

A few seconds later, Xia You heard him sigh softly.

"In that case, let's focus on destruction. I believe those above won't say anything once they find out."

"Understood, then leave it to me. If I see it, I'll try to sabotage it."

“If possible…” the handsome man hesitated for a moment, “If possible, you can also tell me the news, and I can send someone to try to sneak in and take control of it before it takes off.”

Looks like this handsome guy is quite persistent.

However, to be fair, a flying ship is indeed of great strategic value. Not to mention handsome men, even Xia You herself was somewhat tempted.

"We'll see when the time comes, after all, I can't guarantee whether we'll be able to see that ship."

At this point, Xia You was about to hang up the phone, and the handsome guy on the other end naturally did the same. But just as he was about to hang up, the handsome guy seemed to remember something and called out to him.

"Wait a moment."

"What? Is there anything else?"

This time, the handsome guy's tone was noticeably lighter. He teased, "Tsk tsk, just arrived in Pokémon Hollywood and already managed to snag an international Best Actress award winner, Diantha. Impressive skills indeed!"

Xia You: ...

Almost forgot, no matter what, these handsome guys are all international police. Even if they don't pay attention to entertainment matters, they are still well-informed, so this kind of thing can't be kept from them.

Before Xia You could say anything, the handsome man laughed and said, "When the young men around me heard this news, they couldn't believe their ears, but immediately, they admired you to the point of worship."

At this point, the handsome man changed the subject again: "I admire you very much, but be careful your harem might catch fire!"

Leaving those words behind, the handsome man hung up the phone without giving Xia You any chance.

This guy...

No wonder he's single!

and many more……

Is he single?

But since even his name is fake, maybe in some ordinary little place, the handsome guy is already married with children, but he's just keeping it a strict secret from the outside world.

Who knows?

Putting the phone away, Xia You's thoughts returned to the Plasma Team's destroyer.

Just like I was thinking, let alone the handsome guy being envious of this ship, now that I think about it, isn't this exactly what he needs?

Of course, it's not that he needs it himself, but that he can give the ship to A-Quan and Huo-Yan!

With such a mobile vehicle that can fly and hover in the air, and can also be used to conceal their presence, it will be extremely convenient for them to go wherever they want and do whatever they want, without having to run around everywhere.

Thinking about it this way, Xia You was actually tempted.

He was also a very efficient person, and immediately dialed Ah Quan's number.

The call was answered quickly.

Just like when he contacted Xia You, Ah Quan knew that Xia You must have something to tell him or something had happened during the day.

But this didn't stop her from flirting with Xia You as soon as she opened her mouth.

Although she has a somewhat aloof personality, she is warm-hearted beneath her cold exterior. Once she has set her sights on Xia You, she will fully reveal the passion in her heart to him.

Not to mention, after being apart for a few days, her longing was almost overflowing.

Not only her, but Huo Yan snatched the phone away after she had only exchanged a few words with A Quan, which forced Xia You to spend time and effort to appease Huo Yan.

Only after the two of them had calmed him down did he have a chance to explain his thoughts.

"A destroyer from the Plasma Squadron?"

Upon hearing that Team Plasma actually possessed such a thing, A-Quan and Huo-Yan were clearly quite surprised.

After all, they had never even heard of it in the previous investigation.

"The handsome guy just contacted me and said that the destroyer might be in the waters near Fanba City, so I'm thinking, can we get our hands on this destroyer in advance?"

"Take it into our hands? From the Plasma Team, and right under the nose of the Interpol?"

Upon hearing Xia You's idea, A Quan and Huo Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement and madness.

They are, after all, from an evil organization. The process of whitewashing might suppress their true nature, but it will never completely erase it. Now that they hear they have the opportunity to do this kind of thing again, they can't help but feel overjoyed.

“That’s right, that’s it. You need to get to the vicinity of Fanba City now, find that destroyer, and try to figure out its situation. If you find it difficult, wait until I get there.”

"Understood, then see you in Fanba City!"

After hanging up the phone, Xia You calmed herself down and then walked over to the three women.

Knowing he had important business to attend to, Yami, Hikari, and Makomo took a break while he was on the phone, chatting and laughing about topics typical of girls.

Seeing Xia You arrive, knowing he was probably done with his work, Xiao Guang asked curiously, "Who was that just now? I saw you two talking on the phone for a long time."

"He's a handsome guy; he asked me to handle something."

"It's him again!"

Xiao Guang pouted. For this innocent girl, the only trouble that the international police and handsome guys brought was trouble that forced Xia You to get involved in.

In the past, she was curious and in awe of these people, but after several encounters, their aura had long since faded.

Xia You shook her head: "Let's not talk about him anymore. It's getting dark soon, and there seems to be a small town ahead. Let's hurry on our way. I don't want to sleep in these mountains tonight."

Chapter 1325 Xia You: Me?

As the setting sun began to paint the western sky orange-red, Xia You and her group finally successfully crossed the highest point of the rugged mountain path.

Looking north, the dense forests gradually transition into lower hills, and further away, a line of deep blue ocean appears serene and profound in the twilight.

The town he mentioned is just ahead.

Standing on the ridge, Xia You's sharp eyes scanned the coastline. She did not find any obvious traces of large ships, only a few seabird Pokémon circling around.

Thinking about it, it's obvious that if that plasma destroyer were so easy to spot, it would have no secrets at all.

By the time we entered the town, it was already dark.

"Let's go, let's go! Finally, we have a proper place to stay!"

Xiao Guang quickened his pace, his face beaming with joy as he finally saw a place to rest after a day of hiking through the mountains.

For trainers who are used to traveling, the Pokémon Center is always the most reassuring and familiar "home".

The group passed through the town gate and walked briskly along the somewhat deserted main street. Soon they saw the building that, although different in style, always felt familiar, with a red roof and the "PC" logo.

The Pokémon Center in this town isn't large, but it's brightly lit and gives people a sense of security.

Upon entering the lobby, they quickly checked in. After delivering their luggage to their respective rooms, they met again in the restaurant. Seeing each other's relaxed expressions, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"It really makes me feel safe here."

Xiao Guang and Ya Mi went to order food, and the group prepared to enjoy a hot dinner.

While waiting for her food, Xia You turned her head and looked around at her surroundings.

Although this is just a small town, there are quite a few trainers staying here, and the small restaurant is almost full of people.

This is not surprising.

After all, it is located between Liyong City and Fanba City, and in such a mountainous area, so it is a necessary route for people to pass through.

Just as Xia You was about to stretch, having turned her gaze away from the weary trainers and their bizarre Pokémon, her eyes suddenly fell upon a figure.

This is a man sitting alone in the corner.

Although his back was to the people, Xia You recognized him at a glance from his attire and his robust physique.

"Isn't that Aldak? What's he doing here?"

Beside her, Makomo followed Xia You's gaze and also caught sight of the man. After a moment of surprise, she immediately recognized his identity.

That's right, the man sitting in the corner is Adek.

What a coincidence!

After all, they had only been apart for a few days, and they never expected to meet again here.

"You wait here for Xiaoguang and Yami, I'll go say hello to him."

After saying that, Xia You got up, went to the corner, and sat down directly in front of Adek.

At this moment, there were several empty plates in front of Adek, and he was holding a cup of hot drink in his hand. He was humming an unknown tune and turning his head to look out the window, which was already shrouded in night, as if he were enveloped by a faint sadness.

For a moment, Xia You seemed to understand him.

Surrounded by such an environment, seeing all those young faces, and watching these trainers interact with their Pokémon, this lonely man must have thought of himself and his former partner.

Will I... ever have such a day?

Perhaps one of the Pokémon will pass away before you?

Before he could think any further, Adek noticed someone sitting in front of him and turned his head in surprise. And when he looked, he saw Xia You.

Adek was clearly surprised as well: "Xia You? What are you doing here?"

"That's the same question I wanted to ask you," Xia You smiled slightly. "We traveled here, but you obviously aren't like us, are you?"

“It’s definitely different.” Adek laughed. “Of course I’m here for business. Didn’t you see the big poster on the wall before you came in?”

Xia You really didn't notice this.

He turned to look at the restaurant entrance and saw a huge poster there, with several large words written in the most prominent position on the poster.

"Pokémon World Championship Junior Cup?"

“That’s right, it’s the Pokémon World Championship Junior Cup.” Alder nodded and sat up a little straighter. “This Junior Cup is an important stepping stone to a higher stage. The League attaches great importance to it. As the Unova Champion, I was specially invited to be the closing guest this time.”

He paused, his smile carrying a hint of encouragement and anticipation: "According to the schedule, the boy or girl who ultimately wins will have a precious opportunity to fight me! How about that, sounds good, right?"

At this moment, Xiaoguang and Yami, who had just ordered their food, also came back. When they saw Adek, they were obviously surprised. They came up with Makomo to greet the champion. From Adek, they learned the purpose of his trip.

"So?" He glanced intently at Xia You and Xiao Guang. "This is a rare opportunity. Now that we've come across it, why don't you two give it a try?"

"Me?" Xia You pointed to herself, looking completely bewildered. "Playing in the Youth Cup?"

Seeing his reaction, Adek laughed loudly: "Haha, just kidding. If you participate, it would be a dimensional attack, which would be very unfair to the other participants. But to be honest, at your age, aren't you a young adult? If you insist on participating, it's not impossible!"
