I caught a Pokémon

Just as the melody began, a very subtle ripple, unusually, crossed Mewtwo's usually calm and composed eyes.

Its raised arm paused for an extremely brief moment.

The oppressive will that enveloped Meloetta was like a lake surface tossed with a stone, momentarily disrupted and loosened.

It's now!

Meloeta continued singing, but her body transformed into a blurry green streak of light, fleeing into the distance once more!

This time, it didn't hesitate to expend its power. After realizing that it was no match for Mewtwo, it pushed its speed to the maximum and flew a great distance in the blink of an eye.

It's unclear whether the singing was too far away or Mewtwo regained normal through its own power.

In a very short moment, its eyes regained their clarity.

It stood there, looking in the direction where Meloetta had disappeared, its amethyst-like eyes slightly narrowed, as if savoring the strange feeling of that brief moment just now.

That singing... could actually cause a slight fluctuation in its spiritual core?

Although it was so faint as to be almost negligible, it was still enough to surprise it.

But when it came to its senses, it saw that its prey, which it had already caught, was trying to escape from its grasp. It frowned and was about to give chase.

But before it could act, it heard Xia You's soft laughter.

This made Mewtwo look at Xia You with a puzzled expression.

Xia You simply shook her head at this.

"Tsk tsk, Mewtwo, you've really messed up this time. I didn't expect Meloetta's power to even briefly confuse you. That's quite rare, haha."

Despite being a trainer, Xia You's words at this moment only contained schadenfreude.

Actually, Xia You can't be blamed for this.

After all, Mewtwo usually acts all high and mighty, thinking he's the strongest in the world, but today, he's been captivated by Meloetta. Isn't that like being caught off guard and losing his way?

Because he rarely saw this guy get his comeuppance, for Xia You, Meloetta's escape was far less important than teasing Mewtwo at that moment.

How could Mewtwo possibly tolerate such treatment?

In the past, it would have definitely sunk anyone who mocked it to the bottom of the sea forever.

but now……

This guy has become his own trainer after all!

Taking a deep breath, Mewtwo tried to calm down.

But the more I thought about it, the angrier I got!

It snorted coldly, leaped into the air, and chased after Meloetta in the direction she had left.

At the same time, a blank Poké Ball in Xia You's waist bag was also drawn out by its psychic power, flying out of the waist bag and flying to Mewtwo's side.

And so, Mewtwo flew deep into the forest with the Poké Ball, looking determined not to give up until it caught Meloetta.

Xia You didn't seem to care about this.

It would be perfect if a Pokémon could help him catch this mythical Pokémon that he had liked before, saving him the trouble of doing so.

He also believed that Mewtwo would definitely be able to capture Meloetta.

It's about catching Pokémon and stuff like that...

Shaking her head, Xia You watched Mewtwo's departing figure and waved, calling out, "Remember to come back for curry rice! If you come back too late, there won't be any left for you!"

When Xia You returned to the temporary camp, Zhen Gu and Ya Mi had already prepared lunch and were sitting there, wondering where he had gone and what he had been doing.

When they heard his footsteps and saw him return from the forest, they couldn't help but be curious.

"Xia You, what did you go to do? Why did you take so long?"

Xia You smiled and sat down beside them. As Ya Mi served him rice, he recounted what had just happened.

Upon hearing that Xia You had actually encountered Meloetta, the group was understandably surprised.

After all, Xiaoguang and Yami had heard Xia You say that he must catch this Pokémon when they accompanied him to this region. They never expected that they would actually encounter it here.

When they heard Meloetta briefly confuse Mewtwo with her singing, they were surprised but also amused.

Yami shook her head: "Given Mewtwo's arrogant personality, it definitely won't let this go easily after being tricked by Meloetta."

"That's why it took the Poké Ball and went to catch Meloetta." Xia You picked up a spoon, took a big bite of curry, and said indistinctly, "It's not going to give up until it catches Meloetta."

"Catching Pokémon with Pokémon..." Makomo was clearly intrigued and full of curiosity. "I've never heard of this before. Is it the same as when humans catch them?"

Xia You smiled and said, "This requires a certain level of intelligence from the Pokémon. Most importantly, it requires them to grasp the situation and timing, whether they can use Poké Balls, and whether they are willing to help the trainer catch other Pokémon. However, in the end, not everyone can do this. After all, some Pokémon only recognize the person who catches them. If the person who catches them is another Pokémon, it may not obey the trainer's commands, which may cause some unnecessary trouble."

"But for you, none of this is a problem, right?"

Shrugging, Xia You said nonchalantly, "If Pokémon are disobedient, then we'll make them obedient. It's no big deal."

The group chatted and ate lunch, and just as lunch was coming to an end, a silver-gray figure silently drifted out of the woods and returned to the temporary camp.

It's Mewtwo.

It looked exactly the same as when it left, still with that indifferent expression, but the sharp-eyed Xia You noticed that deep in its amethyst-like eyes, there seemed to be a hint of... barely perceptible satisfaction?

Needless to say, it must have accomplished what it set out to do.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Mewtwo floated to Xia You's side. Without saying a word, it raised its hand, and a Poké Ball flew into the air, covering a distance of several meters before landing steadily in Xia You's hand.

The heaviness in its hand clearly indicates that some Pokémon has already been caught inside.

In an instant, several pairs of eyes were fixed on the Poké Ball.

Xia You adjusted her grip and pressed the switch on top.

Amidst a dazzling blue light, a humanoid Pokémon, less than a meter tall and with an elegant posture, appeared before them.

It's Meloeta from just now!

I have to say, entrusting things to Mewtwo is definitely a reliable approach!

If Xia You were to do this herself, she would definitely have to think about building a closer relationship, deciding who to use to fight it, and finally trying to capture it, which might have also wasted a few Poké Balls. But now that Mewtwo is doing it for her, everything has become much easier.

Mewtwo, you are the real One-Ball Superman!

Chapter 1341 Wish Pokémon

"This...this is the Meloetta?"

Seeing the Mythical Pokémon that appeared before them, with its elegant posture and unique ethereal aura, Dawn, Yami, and Makomo couldn't help but be a little surprised and felt it was somewhat unreal.

After all, Xia You had only gone for a short walk in the forest and had even had a meal with them after returning. In such a short time, his Pokémon had actually captured another rare mythical Pokémon on its own.

Even though we know that Mewtwo’s power is unfathomable, the method and efficiency are still incredible!

Hikari and Yami might not feel anything yet, but for Makomo, a native of the Unicron community, who grew up listening to the legends about Meloetta and even told her younger sister related stories to lull her to sleep when she was little, the sight of this Mythical Pokémon appearing right in front of her and becoming her companion in this way left her feeling somewhat dazed.

This is firsthand information that you'll never encounter in a laboratory!

After being released, Meloeta immediately surveyed her surroundings with a wary, curious, and somewhat cautious gaze.

Faced with these unfamiliar humans and several Pokémon that curiously peered at it, its small body tensed slightly, ready to defend itself or flee at any moment.

But it dared not make any big moves.

Because it could clearly sense that the terrifying, silver-gray Pokémon that had just captured it was focusing its attention on it!

It seems that as soon as I make any move, it will strike immediately!

Such a tangible, oppressive gaze left it both terrified and somewhat helpless.

Meloetta was truly helpless against this Pokémon, which she had never seen before and whose strength was outrageously high.

Just now, it had fully experienced the other party's methods.

Despite having exhausted all her strength and used her singing to distract others and escape so far, she was still easily caught up by her opponent. Then came the overwhelming and unpretentious power that suppressed her, and she was severely "taught a lesson" before being stuffed into the red and white ball without any chance to resist.

Even though it tried to resist with its song again, it still couldn't stop the other side once they were prepared.

At this moment, Xia You looked at Meloeta, who was somewhat fearful, and said in a gentle tone, "When I first met you, I wanted to greet you properly, get to know you, and then proceed with courtesy before resorting to force. Now it seems that the 'courtesy' step was omitted by a certain impatient fellow."

At this point, he glanced at Mewtwo, but the latter remained expressionless, as if it were none of his business, so he shook his head and continued, "Now, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Xia You, and from today onwards, I will be your trainer. I hope we can get along well from now on."

Meloeta looked at Xia You with a helpless expression.

To be honest, it didn't have any ill will or special feelings towards Xia You herself.

When the two first met, Xia You simply stood there observing and even smiled at him, showing no aggression whatsoever.

Just as he was trying to escape, the powerful Pokémon next to him attacked him.

This also made it somewhat fond of Xia You.

Even though it knew that this Pokémon was just following the human's instructions.

Fortunately, Meloetta doesn't know much about the human world, otherwise she would understand what it means for one to play the good cop and the other the bad cop.

At this moment, Xiao Guang came over.

"My name is Xiaoguang!" The lively girl brought her face close to Meloetta, her face beaming with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling as she looked at it. "It's nice to meet you! You're so pretty. Although I haven't heard you sing yet, it must be amazing!"

Meloeta's beautiful, youthful appearance makes it hard for anyone not to like it after seeing it.

Meloetta was slightly relieved by Xiaoguang's sudden enthusiasm.

After all, a genuine smile is the window to the soul.

It blinked its sapphire-like eyes and uttered a soft syllable, tinged with doubt and a hint of curiosity: "Melo?"

Xiao Guang immediately turned his head and looked at Xia You expectantly: "Brother Xia You! Let me play with it for a while and get to know it better, okay? It seems less nervous now!"

Xia You nodded, naturally having no objections.

To be honest, for the newly joined Meloetta, having a lively and outgoing person like Hikari might help it integrate into their team more quickly!

And I'm sure it will get along well with Xiaoguang.

"Then I'll leave it to you for the next few days, but not now. Let it taste the cooking of Yami and Mako!"

……

The successful capture of Meloetta can be considered as fulfilling an important "wish list" for Xia You after arriving in the Unova region.

Including the Snivy he caught earlier, his "must-have" Pokémon lineup for this region is basically complete.

Of course, this doesn't mean he won't catch new partners. If he encounters other Pokémon he likes or that are suitable for him on his journey, he will still help them.

But at least in the short term, there are no particularly strong goals.

I never expected that subduing Meloetta would go so smoothly.

We just encountered it in the wild, nothing happened, and we tamed it without any problems.

It has fewer twists and turns, fewer stories, and more of a natural progression.

It can only be said that as his roster continues to expand, his strength also grows stronger. Things that are difficult for ordinary people to encounter or achieve are as easy as drinking water for him.

After enjoying the belated welcome meal, Meloeta appeared much more relaxed.

While Yami and Makomo were washing the dishes, Xia You, Xiao Guang, and several other gentle Pokémon spent some time playing with Meloetta at the camp.

It's like coaxing it while letting it get used to the people around it.

And judging from the results, it was quite effective.

After getting used to it for a while, when Xia You took out the Poké Ball again and put Meloetta into it, it was no longer so resistant.

Or rather, it seems they've already resigned themselves to their fate.

It may not have fully adapted to the identity of a trainer's Pokémon yet, and it still holds Mewtwo in awe, but at least it no longer strongly resists it and is willing to try to get in touch with these people and Pokémon and integrate into them.

This can be considered a good start.

After tidying up, the group extinguished the campfire, took away the trash, and made sure no potential hazards were left behind. Then they set off again along the forest path towards Fukiyo City on the other side of the mountain.

Compared to before lunch, Xia You was in a much better mood after newly subduing Meloetta.

He walked at the very front of the group, and even started humming a song!

Although Xiao Guang and the others had never heard his singing before, they could all tell that he was in a very good mood.

"He's so vain." Watching his retreating figure, Hikari muttered to Yami and Makomo with amusement, "It's just that he caught a Mythical Pokémon, is he really that happy? He's even humming a song!"
