I caught a Pokémon

He just had too many things to do these past two days, so he put this matter off until now.

Of course, he wasn't trying to persuade Snivy to evolve. On the contrary, if Snivy didn't want to evolve, he would understand and support it.

With this in mind, Xia You began this conversation.

As for the Pokémon in the lineup, which are no longer the newest, after so much time spent together and fighting side by side, Snivy has long since submitted to Xia You and accepted him in every way, and is willing to follow his arrangements.

This also means that, apart from its somewhat arrogant expression, it is no different from other Pokémon when interacting with others in private.

It has been completely successfully domesticated.

They took Snivy to the grassy area and sat down on it.

Seeing Xia You lie back on the grass, Tengteng Snake followed suit and lay down beside him.

The two looked up at the morning sun, savoring this rare moment of leisure.

Seeing the Snivy gently swaying the leaves with its tail, looking relaxed, Xia You smiled and said directly, "I want to talk to you about evolution."

Upon hearing this, Snivy's body tensed slightly.

After all, it knows that trainers all hope their Pokémon can reach a higher evolution stage, so that the Pokémon can help them win more often and also improve the trainer's strength.

But from its own perspective, it still likes its current body very much and doesn't want to become anything else. It always feels that once it evolves, it will no longer be itself, but will become another unfamiliar version of itself.

Although it feels a bit awkward, that's what makes it so perplexing.

Seeing its hesitation, Xia You gently stroked its head and said calmly, "So you already have the answer. You don't want to evolve, right?"

With such an understanding trainer, what can Snivy say?

He could only nod slightly.

Seeing this, Xia You laughed heartily: "Then don't evolve. There are naturally ways to fight without evolving. If you need speed, we have Greninja. If you need strength, we have Tyranitar and Steelix. If you need special energy, we also have Mewtwo, Gengar and Lucario. So don't worry too much. Just do your best."

The Snivy was stunned.

It considered many possibilities.

It had imagined that Xia You would persuade it to evolve, saying that becoming stronger was more important; it had imagined that Xia You would be disappointed, saying that it lacked ambition; it had even imagined that Xia You would simply throw it an evolution stone and say, "This is for your own good."

But I never thought it would turn out like this.

Unexpectedly, Xia Youhui said, "It's okay if we don't do it."

It was moved for a moment, feeling that this was the true relationship between Pokémon and their trainers.

Just as I was about to say something, two slender women walked towards us.

It is Bamboo Orchid and Cattleya!

The two had just chatted with Makomo for a while and glanced at what she was writing. They offered Makomo some advice from their perspective, which inspired her. They also promised to introduce her to Dr. Jiezilan when they had time, so that the two could conduct academic research and discussions.

After that, they went to see Xiaoguang's training again and gave him some new ideas, which inspired him as well.

Finally, they arrived at Xia You's place.

Before they even got close, the two women saw Xia You and Snivy lying on the grass; after taking a few steps forward, they saw several Meloetta Pokémon.

"This is--!?"

Upon realizing that it was indeed Meloetta, Cattleya's eyes widened in surprise.

"Meloeta!? How...how did it get here!?"

As one of the Elite Four in the Unova region, how could Caitalia not recognize this Mythical Pokémon?

In the Unova region, Meloetta is arguably even rarer to encounter than the legendary Pokémon, Cloud!

Even she herself had never seen this Pokémon in person; she only knew a little about it from the Pokédex.

But how did it end up here?!

It's even with Xia You's Pokémon!

This is how the same thing?

Seeing them approach, Xia You sat up and followed their gaze to Meloeta.

“It?” he said casually. “I tamed it in the wild a few days ago.”

Seeing Xia You's undisguised smile, Zhu Lan and Jia Deliya exchanged a glance.

"You tamed it?" Zhu Lan asked, somewhat surprised.

"Your luck... is truly enviable as always." Gadriya sighed, and when she walked to Xia You's side, she looked at Meloetta from afar and couldn't help but chuckle. "It was the same when you helped me capture Cresselia. If I hadn't met you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to meet it, let alone capture it. And your Mewtwo, these are not things that ordinary people can encounter."

Zhu Lan had heard Jia Deliya mention Xia You helping her subdue the Dream God more than once.

It was from that moment that she became convinced that Xia You must have some ulterior motive towards this super-powered beauty.

Up to now…

None of that matters anymore.

After an "in-depth conversation" that lasted until dawn last night, she now feels that nothing else matters.

The idea of ​​preventing Gadriya from getting close to Xia You also vanished.

Of course, this doesn't mean she's particularly magnanimous; it just means her mindset has changed, and she's become less petty.

Since Xia You already has many women, he doesn't care about having another one like Gadria.

Especially since Cattleya is no ordinary woman.

Whether it's strength, status, beauty, or figure, she is top-notch. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even have the chance to speak to her, let alone marry her or take her as their 'concubine'.

From a 'family' perspective, the more the family members grow, the stronger Xia You's influence will become in this world as well.

So powerful that no one dared to provoke them.

After all, Xia You had won the championship in various regions and defeated so many opponents, enemies and organizations. Countless people were jealous of him, and some might even be plotting against him.

As long as he becomes stronger, these petty villains will be less likely to attack him easily. They will even have to consider what kind of retaliation they will face from the forces behind him after provoking him.

It's safe to say that Zhu Lan would never have thought of this before.

Sharing a man with other women? Unless she's crazy.

But now…

There's nothing we can do about it; she joined later. We can only accept it and try our best to make this 'family' better.

The two women stood there, sizing up Meloetta for a while. They had to admit that this Pokémon was quite to their liking, so they were happy for Xia You that he had managed to capture it.

Turning her head, Zhu Lan glanced at the vine snake beside Xia You and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

Her voice was soft, completely different from her previous assertiveness, like... a wife speaking to her new husband, and even her eyes held an undisguised affection and shyness.

Zhu Lan's appearance naturally did not escape Cattleya's notice.

This made her even more suspicious.

After all, Zhu Lan had maintained the same attitude before they parted yesterday, but why did her attitude change so drastically after they parted?

She no longer had the same domineering and confrontational attitude towards Xia You as before; instead, she was completely obedient to him, as if she had become a completely different person.

No matter how she tried to subtly probe, Zhu Lan insisted that nothing had happened, which puzzled her and made her even more curious.

Seeing that the two were focusing their attention on Snivy, Xia You naturally didn't hide anything and told them that it didn't want to evolve.

After hearing this, Cattleya's eyes lit up: "In that case, to prevent accidental activation in the future, I think it needs an Everstone."

Chapter 1359 Mutual Suspicion Between Two Women

Speaking of Everstone, Xia You once had one, but it was swallowed by that pink devil Jigglypuff. Although she later threw it to Sabrina, it is unknown what happened afterward, or whether Sabrina took it out.

But even if it were taken out, it would be impossible to give it back to Snivy.

“We definitely need one.” Xia You nodded. “Looks like I’ll have to go to the prop shop here later.”

Upon hearing this, Gadriya's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shook her head.

"You don't need to go, I'll just have someone bring one over!"

As soon as she finished speaking, not wanting to miss this opportunity to impress Xia You, she took out her phone, dialed a number, and, after the call was connected, began to give instructions right in front of Xia You.

"Okay, have the people at the Fuyu City branch send over an Everstone immediately. Yes... deliver it to the Fuyu City Pokémon Center before noon and hand it to me personally... Alright, that's settled."

The phone hangs up.

Gardaria put away her phone, looked at Xia You, and smiled slightly: "Just wait a little while, someone will bring it over soon."

There's really no need for this...

Instead of having someone deliver it, Xia You could simply go to the large shopping mall here and buy one directly.

After all, this kind of thing isn't rare. Just like evolution stones of various attributes, it can be bought in stores. Even Mega Evolution Stones can be bought in international stores.

Xia You has never been able to collect all the Super Evolution Stones he needs, it's just a matter of whether he wants to or not – he wants to experience the joy of collecting, otherwise, with his wealth, buying them all would be more than enough.

But since Cattleya has already done it, what else can he say?

I can't very well refuse her kindness, can I?

Especially at this moment, Cattleya blinked her eyes, her face saying, "Come and praise me."

"Then... thank you."

Xia You touched his nose and glanced at Zhu Lan without showing any emotion, afraid of causing this jealous woman to misunderstand. But to his surprise, she reacted indifferently to Jia Deliya's attentiveness, as if she didn't care at all.

I really don't understand this woman...

Before she was possessed by him, she was always defiant and always had to fight against him, but after he possessed her, all of that disappeared.

Could it be that I have truly been completely conquered and thoroughly understood by myself?

Seeing Xia You looking at her, Zhu Lan knew what he meant and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't be polite with her. Don't you know that her family is extremely powerful? A mere piece of Everstone is nothing to her."

Okay, since Zhu Lan thinks this way, then Xia You has even less of a problem.

But speaking of Everstone…

I remembered that I had just obtained the Mega Stone of Steelix from the underground cave a few days ago, but I hadn't had a chance to experiment with it yet.

Now that we're all alone, it's an opportunity.

Thinking of this, he gestured for the two to wait a moment, then returned to his room, took out the Mega Stone of Steelix from his backpack, and came back here again.

The moment Cynthia saw the evolution stone in his hand, she recognized what it was.

"A Mega Stone?" She raised an eyebrow. "Judging by the shape... is it Steelix's?"

“That’s right.” Xia You nodded. “It’s the Mega Stone of Steelix. I just don’t know if it’s suitable for my Crystal Steelix. After all, as you know, its form is a bit special.”

“It should be fine.” Zhu Lan analyzed rationally, “After all, I heard from Ya Mi that your Crystal Steelix evolved from Crystal Onix, right? Since that evolution stage is fine, then Mega Evolution should be fine too.”

After she finished speaking, Xia You added, "Of course, we still need to confirm the specifics."

"Saying it is the same as not saying it at all."

Xia You rolled her eyes at Zhu Lan, who used to be very sensitive to such gazes, but now…

So what if it's white?

Can't she see that this is her man's joke?

Xia You took out a Crystal Steelix Poké Ball from her waist bag, pressed the switch, and released her Crystal Steelix.

Under the sunlight, the Crystal Steel Serpent is crystal clear, and the refraction of light from its body leaves a rainbow of colors on the ground.

No matter how many times they watch it, Cynthia and Cattleya are always amazed by the sense of awe and wonder brought by this Pokémon that combines beauty and magnificence.

A miracle from a biological perspective.

After all, who would believe that such a Pokémon actually exists in this world before seeing it with their own eyes?

The two sat down where Xia You had just lain down and quietly watched what would happen next.

Under their watchful eyes, Xia You first approached the Crystal Steelix, looked around, and tried to find a place to place the Mega Stone.

However, for this Pokémon that has no hands or feet, a huge head, and a segmented body, there isn't much of a suitable place to wear it except around its neck.

Even if I wear it around my neck, there isn't a suitable chain available right now.
