I caught a Pokémon

At this moment, Xia You had already remembered the plot related to the message in a bottle in the animation.

To verify his hypothesis, he removed the cork, opened the letter, and showed its contents to the two men.

"If anyone knows anything about the Pokémon Crystal Onix, please tell me. I'm counting on you. — Masami from Ponkan Island."

Sure enough, it was this scene!

"Masami?" Sabrina looked up, then back in the direction the girl had left. "That must be the girl's name, right? But... Crystal Onix? Does that mean it's made of crystal? Does such a Pokémon really exist?"

Xia You nodded, noticing that the handwriting was crooked and uneven, sometimes large and sometimes small, and indeed looked like it was written by a beginner.

"Of course there is! This is a magical world, and there must be many undiscovered miracles of life. Now that we have this news, why don't we go and look for this amazing Pokémon?"

Nazi rolled her eyes at him and said helplessly, "A little girl's message in a bottle might just be her imagination. Is it really worth your time and effort to find such a message that you don't even know if it's true?"

Actually, when Xia You watched the anime, she had a deep impression of the Crystal Onix. Even now, she can still vaguely remember the plot and the Onix's hiding place.

"Don't worry." Xia You stuffed the note back into the glass bottle, pressed the stopper, and threw it back into the sea, saying with a bright smile, "Actually, I also happen to know some clues about the Crystal Onix. This time, I'm sure my efforts won't be in vain!"

As dusk was about to disappear, the city behind them, with its lights twinkling, could be seen through the not-so-dense forest.

The two stood side by side, gazing at the western sea, enjoying the view. A moment later, when the sun had completely disappeared below the horizon, they turned and entered the city.

Ponkan Town, located on this island, is a distinctive and important town in the Orange Islands.

Although there are no gyms or Pokémon Centers here, and few trainers visit the island, it is famous for its glass crafts. In fact, most of the island's residents are artisans who make glass products.

Walking down the street, you can see shops on both sides of the road filled with glass products of various shapes and sizes. Countless outsiders, just like Xia You and Na Zi at this moment, stop and look in front of the shops from time to time, attracted by the beautiful products.

Chapter 189 Actually, I'm a Transmigrator

Perhaps due to the large number of tourists on the island, all the hotels on Ponkan Island were fully booked after nightfall. Xia You and Na Zi searched for a long time before finally finding a slightly run-down guesthouse in a corner of the town.

The shop owner was a kind old woman with a full head of silver hair, dressed in traditional clothing, and short in stature. When she saw such a well-matched couple, she initially thought they were a couple and only arranged one room for them. However, after Xia You explained, she smiled and arranged another room for Na Zi.

"Oh, hehehehe..." The old woman squinted her eyes and laughed, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, my old eyes are failing me and I couldn't tell clearly. But I've seen countless people, and when I was young I played matchmaker for many couples. Judging from your appearances, you two are indeed a perfect match."

Xia You thought Na Zi would be embarrassed by this misunderstanding, but when he looked at her face, he saw that she looked normal and had no other reaction.

However... given Sabrina's personality, this is actually the strangest thing!

In the past, if anyone had displeased her or offended her with their words, she would have punished them with her superpowers long ago!

Even if Ash uses Gastly to slightly correct her personality, Sabrina will definitely make those people taste the terror of a psychic girl if they dare to talk nonsense in front of her. She would never be so indifferent as she is now!

In fact, Xia You wasn't completely oblivious. After spending so much time together, he could naturally sense that Na Zi harbored certain feelings for him.

And the reason why Sabrina has become the way she is now is probably directly related to him.

However, given his identity as a time traveler, he didn't know if he might suddenly travel back in time. Moreover, he couldn't figure out Sabrina's true thoughts or the extent of her affection. Therefore, he never dared to express anything.

What if I guess wrong? Wouldn't that mean we can't even be friends anymore?

He believes that if the two are truly destined to be together, things will naturally fall into place at some point, leading to a beautiful outcome!

After a night's rest and a delicious breakfast, they rode their fire-breathing dragons and set off again.

Soaring through the sky, Naza looked down and saw only a dense forest and a few uninhabited islands beside Ponkan Island.

"Tell me, how do you plan to find that Crystal Onix?"

Patting the Charizard's neck, Xia You gestured for it to fly higher, saying casually, "Actually, I don't have any special methods. I just wanted to try my luck somewhere."

"Try your luck?"

Upon hearing this, Naz couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

She wasn't actually very optimistic about the search for the Crystal Onix.

Unlike when searching for Moltres on the Seven Islands, where Lorelei, a local, helped us find Moltres quickly.

Now, not only do they have no information, but they also have no guides to lead the way. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. If it were her, she wouldn't know where to even begin.

However, seeing Xia You's confident demeanor, she didn't say anything more and waited to see if such a large rock snake made of crystal actually existed in this world!

Charizard flapped its wings, carrying Xia You high into the sky. Looking down, she could see the entire Ponkan Island in its entirety, and the people in the town appeared as tiny as ants.

To keep the Charizard steady, Xia You bent down and began to search carefully.

After eliminating several targets, a small island that was inextricably linked to Ponkan Island soon came into his view.

There were no signs of human activity on the island. Dense forests surrounded a bare hill, making it look no different from other uninhabited islands. However, Xia You noticed its special features at a glance.

right here!

Xia You's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly commanded the Charizard to fly towards the island.

From the air, although the small island is separated from Ponkan Island by a narrow current, a closer look reveals a sandy beach formed by silt and sand beneath the surface, connecting the two islands.

However, because it is submerged by seawater, this passage is usually invisible, and even the locals of Ponkan Island rarely know that this beach exists!

Only during low tide does the beach briefly become visible, forming a passage connecting the two islands!

Xia You had the Charizard circle around the hill, and after only a few glances, she quickly spotted a very well-hidden cave entrance.

"The target should be right there!"

Hearing Xia You's slightly excited tone, Na Zi was surprised, but she also had a question in her mind.

"Strange, how did you know there was a cave entrance here? The same goes for the Moltres last time. Where did you get that information from?"

With a chuckle, Xia You said, "To be honest, I'm actually a time traveler. I learned all these things from games and anime before I traveled here, which is why I can be so prescient!"

Nazi gently punched Xia You, feeling both annoyed and amused, and rarely showed such a girlish side.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Why use such a ridiculous excuse?"

Xia You shrugged and smiled silently.

When truth is false, falsehood is also truth; when falsehood is also truth, truth is also falsehood.

That's how humans are. Sometimes, even when they're telling the truth, it's so incredible that nobody believes them. Instead, people prefer to hear fabricated lies.

At this moment, the Charizard had folded its wings and landed at the entrance of the cave.

Xia You jumped off the Charizard first, and then naturally reached out to help Sabrina down.

It's unclear when it started, but physical contact like this that makes your heart race seems to have become commonplace. Whether it's Xia You or Na Zi, while immersed in it, neither of them feels there's anything wrong with it.

Even when they were alone, Nazi became more willing to communicate with him. Sometimes, their eyes would meet unintentionally, and although they would immediately look away, an atmosphere called 'ambiguity' had already entangled them.

Summoning Gardevoir and then summoning Haunter from its shadow, Xia You, under their protection, picked up a flashlight and stepped into the cave first.

Tick ​​tock!

Water droplets dripped from above the cave, hitting the rocks and creating tiny splashes.

The cave entrance wasn't very large. After walking only a dozen steps, they saw many exposed crystals reflecting a sparkling light under the flashlight beam.

"It's so beautiful!"

Upon seeing these crystals, Sabrina was slightly amazed, but she seemed to have a premonition that if there really was a Crystal Onix, this place was very likely its hiding place!

Chapter 190 Crystal Rock Snake

Through the narrow passage, Xia You and Na Zi finally arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

The space here is extremely spacious, filled with crystals everywhere, making the entire cave look like a large crystal maze. A beam of sunlight shining through the cracks, after constant refraction, makes the place as bright as day!

"I think when I'm really broke and destitute, I'll come here to mine crystals. I'll definitely become rich instantly and reach the pinnacle of life!"

Xia You sighed subconsciously, but all she got in return was a big eye roll from Nazi.

"The news that a former champion has been forced to become an unemployed worker due to the hardships of life will absolutely shock everyone!"

Perhaps influenced by Xia You's personality after spending so much time with him, Na Zi surprisingly made a joke at this moment.

Xia You laughed and nonchalantly put away the flashlight, then looked towards the center of the cave.

A stream of water, no more than a dozen centimeters wide, was flowing continuously into a small underground lake.

The lake water was clear and icy cold; even before getting close, one could feel its dampness and chill.

However, Xia You looked around but did not find any trace of the Crystal Onix.

Even when looking at the lake, there was no movement underwater, and even the surface of the water only had slight ripples.

"Hmm?" Xia You scratched his head. "Did it go out to forage for food? Or has it already been tamed by someone?"

“No.” Sabrina pointed to a spot in the lake. “I can sense something there. I don’t know how it’s hiding, but it should be the Pokémon we’re looking for!”

“That’s right!” Gastly added, “There is indeed a Pokémon hiding there!”

Sabrina and Gastly, one with psychic powers and the other with keen senses, along with Gardevoir, make for a formidable force of 'two psychics and one ghost' by your side, making ordinary hiding methods utterly ineffective!

Xia You herself also remembered that this Crystal Onix did indeed have the ability to move underwater due to its special body!

Thinking of this, he took out his Gengar mask from his backpack and put it on.

After being modified, this Gengar mask was integrated with the Silver Mirror, giving it the ability to see through invisibility. However, it had never had the chance to be used before, so it's perfect to bring it out now.

When he looked again in the direction Sabrina had just pointed, he saw a huge Pokémon, about seven or eight meters long, floating on the water, coldly watching them!

Upon seeing its full form, Xia You immediately understood that, just like the Vaporeon that he had seen in Stone Town that could blend into the water, this Onix, with its crystal-clear, glass-like body, could refract the surrounding water waves and had also gained a similar ability to become invisible underwater!

"That's right, it's right here! Everyone get ready!"

Seeing that it seemed to have been discovered, the giant Onix moved its body and rose from the water. With its appearance, Sabrina and Natsumi's Pokémon could see its true form.

"This is Crystal Onix?" Sabrina looked it over a few times, her eyes full of curiosity. "It really is beautiful! I never thought there would actually be such a unique Pokémon in this world!"

Actually, aside from its crystal-like body, the Crystal Onix looks no different from the regular Onix, with a long horn on its head and a huge body made of round stones.

The reason it became like this must also be related to this crystal mine!

After removing her mask, Xia You turned to look at Gastly and Gardevoir, pondered for a moment, then shook her head and reached for her waist.

Xia You was very curious about this giant onix and its attributes, and decided to take the opportunity to test it out while taming it.

"Raeek, Blastoise, and Venusaur, come out now!"

As the blue light flashed, three Pokémon appeared in the cave, and the Crystal Onix, which was already on guard, roared angrily upon seeing this.

"Roar!!!"

No Pokémon likes outsiders intruding into its habitat, and Crystal Onix is ​​no exception. However, seeing so many people and Pokémon suddenly appear, it dared not make any rash moves or take any initiative to fight against them all!

Seeing this, Xia You nodded and analyzed, "Hmm... It was found in its hometown and was angry, but it did not run away or attack first. I originally thought its personality would be the same as Gyarados, but now it seems that its personality is relatively calm."

But since it doesn't want to move, I'll take the initiative to probe it!

Xia You waved to the nearby Jolteon and commanded, "Use Electric Shock!"

Rayquaza shook its bristles, and a bolt of electricity shot towards the Crystal Onix in the water.

Sizzle!

The electric shock struck the Crystal Onix, spreading outwards through the lake water, generating crackling currents and puffs of white smoke. However, when the smoke dissipated, Xia You discovered that the Crystal Onix had not been harmed in any way!

Sabrina naturally knew Xia You's purpose, so she said, "Even in the water, it wasn't damaged by Electric-type moves. It seems that, like other Onix, it also has the Ground type."

Xia You nodded, which could be interpreted as her acknowledgment of this viewpoint.

At this moment, the Crystal Onix finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to fight back.

It opened its huge mouth and roared, instantly creating countless stones in the air that crashed down on the crowd.

It's a Rock-type move called Rockfall!

"Could it be that its properties are still ground and rock!?"

But this... isn't it no different from a regular Onix?

However, Xia You did not rush to conclusions, but planned to continue fighting to see if it had any other abilities or moves.

As the falling rocks drew ever closer, Gardevoir raised its arms before Sabrina could even make a move, blocking all the rocks in mid-air.

"Well done, Gardevoir! Blastoise, use Water Gun!"

Blastoise spewed a large jet of water at Onix, but the water gun, which should have caused four times the damage to the ground and rocks, seemed to have no effect on Onix at all!

Does it have resistance to water-type moves?

Xia You nodded again.
