I caught a Pokémon

Xiao Guang laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"Just like your other Pokémon?"

"That's right, just like them!"

As they spoke, the group set off again and entered the town.

However, since there was nothing or no one worth stopping for, the group had lunch there, replenished their supplies, and then left the town to continue westward.

Even though it was past noon.

Even though the local legends are meant to prevent people from spending the night in the wild, they don't care at all.

after all……

With Xia You's Pokémon around, how could they possibly be afraid of those monsters?

……

Boshi, Qinghai, is a well-known resort city in the Hezhong region.

This city is located next to the sea and is built on the coast. Unlike other places in the Union, even its climate is significantly more temperate.

Palm trees can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street.

The deep sea is azure, the shallow sea is crystal clear, the forest is as if it has been washed clean, lush and green, and even the air is very fresh.

Following the road along the coastline, the group arrived at the small town in high spirits.

The moist sea breeze caressed them, warm and comfortable, and rustled the leaves of the trees nearby.

A scent of the sea and leaves filled their nostrils.

Xiao Guang took a deep breath and exclaimed sincerely, "The air here is so fresh! Just standing here makes you feel relaxed without even realizing it!"

Bogaman perched on her shoulder, barking merrily; it clearly enjoyed the smells here too.

Yami smiled gently, her gaze sweeping over the houses built on the sea: "Living in a place like this, waking up every day to see the sea, must be wonderful."

It was clear that there was a longing in her eyes and tone.

This place is more like a tropical island city, without too many skyscrapers or noisy traffic, only blue skies, white clouds, blue sea, and people leisurely strolling on the streets.

Someone with her personality would naturally like this place.

Xia You gently squeezed her hand, and she immediately returned Xia You's smile.

Makomo pushed up her glasses, looked away from the two's subtle movements, then turned her head and walked past the beach in front of the shore.

On the beach, tourists were enjoying the sunshine in twos and threes. Some were lying under parasols reading, some were playing in the water, and a few children were building sandcastles. Several long-winged gulls circled above the sea, occasionally swooping down to snatch up an unlucky fish Pokémon.

Further ahead, a young couple was chasing each other on the beach.

The girl ran ahead, her laughter ringing out, while the boy chased after her, a doting smile on his face. As they ran, the boy caught up with the girl, picked her up, and spun her around.

Seeing this, Xiao Guang blushed, first glancing shyly at Xia You, then couldn't help but laugh.

"How sweet!"

Makomo nodded: "I've heard that many people come here for their honeymoon after getting married."

"Really?" Xiao Guang's eyes lit up. "Then I want to come too!"

Makomo glanced at her, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Let's find a boyfriend first."

Hikaru's face flushed again, and he muttered, "Makomo-neechan is so annoying..."

Everyone laughed.

Laughter drifted on the sea breeze, blending into the warm sunshine.

Upon entering the city, they found that there wasn't much traffic and the buildings weren't very tall, just like the quiet little towns they had imagined.

Instead of challenging the gyms here first, the group went straight to the Pokémon Center along the street.

This was agreed upon before we arrived here.

The reason for doing this was, of course, because Xia You had more important things to do.

After putting their luggage in their respective rooms, Xiao Guang stretched and said, "Well then, while Xia You is busy with his business, let's go to the beach to relax!"

Her suggestion was naturally met with unanimous approval from both Yami and Makomo.

Makomo stretched her stiff neck: "I think I slept wrong last night and ended up with a stiff neck. I was just thinking of getting some sun."

Only Ya Mi looked at Xia You and smiled gently, "Be careful, we'll wait for you to come back here."

Xia You nodded to her, then turned and left the Pokémon Center.

As for where to go...

It must be some beach here.

Shortly before they arrived in the city, A-Quan and Huo-Yan also arrived here first, piloting the destroyer they had stolen from the Plasma Team.

Xia You went to the beach precisely to meet up with them!

Xia You left the Pokémon Center and, following the location sent by A-Quan, walked alone towards the port.

The port of Boshi in Qinghai is not large, but it is very busy. It is mostly filled with passenger ships, as well as a large number of small cruise ships, speedboats, and even small sailboats. Under such conditions, a rather unusual large sailboat would not attract much attention.

Not to mention, the ship was docked in a relatively remote location, and after such a long time, it had been disguised.

Almost no one pays attention to it.

It wasn't until she stood right in front of it that Xia You finally got a clear look at the destroyer.

Of course, it can no longer be called a destroyer, since after acquiring it, whatever the ship was called before, it will now be given a new name.

Before she even got close, Xia You spotted A-Quan and Huo Yan on the boat from afar.

The two men, dressed casually, were leaning against the railing. When they saw him, they both smiled and waved.

Besides them, there were a few other people, all of whom Xia You had met before, the team members who had followed them and broken away from the Ocean Team and the Lava Team. At this moment, these team members were dressed as sailors and were skillfully busy with something on the deck.

For those on the Ocean team, this was indeed a return to their old ways.

Just as Xia You approached, the gangway was lowered.

He boarded the ship via the gangway, and before he could say anything, Huoyan had already rushed into his arms.

"Boss! I miss you so much!"

With one arm around her, Xia You secretly shook her head.

Even after she became his woman, Huoyan still liked to call herself that, as if... she had some kind of quirk.

Or rather, only Huoyan would call him by such a name, which would make her feel like she was unique.

He patted her head, and Xia You looked up, meeting A Quan's gaze once more.

Although Ah Quan was still leaning there without making any move, looking like a proud and mature woman, her burning gaze still betrayed her.

Chapter 1395 You want me to become your woman?

Xia You broke free from Huo Yan's embrace.

In private, he wouldn't mind being hugged like this by this woman, but now...

There are more than just them on this ship; there are also former team members!

"Come on in," said A-Quan. "I'll show you around our... um, our new ship."

Xia You nodded and followed them for a stroll on the deck.

Those team members who saw Xia You, regardless of whether their respective organizations had been attacked by Xia You before, all nodded to him with some restraint and respect.

after all……

They are now working for Xia You.

Although Xia You had never paid them a single penny of salary, they had all witnessed the man's strength. Now that he was A Quan and Huo Yan's superior, they naturally treated him with the utmost respect.

Xia You nodded to them, and after looking around the deck, she followed A-Quan and Huo Yan into the cabin.

Through the two women's introduction, Xia You learned that compared to when they had just captured the destroyer, the ship had changed drastically, becoming more in line with their aesthetics and more welcoming.

Like... a mobile home.

"Have all the back doors of the plasma team been removed?"

A-Quan nodded: "Don't worry, Huoyan has thoroughly investigated five times, ensuring that no trace of them remains and that everything has been cleaned up."

"What about the ship's various systems? Are you familiar with them as well?"

“Of course.” This time it was Huoyan who spoke. “How could something like this be difficult for Aquan? He has mastered not only the driving system and energy system, but also the weapon system!”

"Well done."

But why are these two praising each other?

Ah Quan smiled mysteriously: "Speaking of which, this ship is indeed very unusual. In addition to being able to fly under its own power, its weapons are also extremely terrifying. Huo Yan and I tested it a bit, and the energy it shoots out can freeze a part of the sea surface!"

Fire Goose nodded in agreement: "If we could provide even greater energy, for example... using a powerful Pokémon as the energy source, its attacks could even completely freeze an entire city!"

Hearing their words, Xia You raised her eyebrows.

"That's really impressive, but thankfully, this ship is now ours."

“That’s right,” Fire Goose laughed. “But I think the Plasma Team can’t accept such a loss, and they’re probably searching all over Unova for us right now.”

“It’s not just them.” Xia You shook her head. “I think the Interpol police are definitely looking for you too.”

As they spoke, the two continued to show Xia You around.

"This is the control room." A-Quan pushed open a door, revealing various instrument panels and a steering wheel. "Operating it is a bit more complicated than that of a regular sailboat, but my team members and I are all proficient at it."

“The living area is downstairs.” Huoyan pulled him to the stairs again and pointed down. “There are enough rooms to sleep over a hundred people, but most of the cabins have been modified. After all, we don’t have that many people, so we turned these rooms into single rooms and made them more comfortable. Of course, we’ve reserved the largest one for you, but…”

At this point, she leaned close to Xia You's ear and whispered, "You can come to our room anytime."

Xia You chuckled and pinched her cheek.

Continuing the tour, the warehouse area has been transformed into a storage room, with various training equipment, Pokémon food, and daily necessities neatly arranged.

The kitchen, dining room, and even a small lounge are all decorated in a warm and comfortable style.

After walking around the ship, Xia You had a general understanding of it.

“It’s really good.” He nodded. “However, it needs a new name. We can’t keep calling it ‘that ship’.”

Fire Goose immediately raised her hand: "I'll name it! How about 'Queen of Flames'?"

Ah Quan glanced at her: "Too flamboyant. We're supposed to keep a low profile. If your name gets out, it'll seem like everyone's afraid they won't know whose ship it is."

"Then what should we call it?" Huo Yan retorted, unconvinced.

Ah Quan thought for a moment: "How about 'tides'? Simple, and inconspicuous."

"'Tides' is such a plain name!" Fire Goose protested. "How can the Boss's ship have such an unimpressive name!"

“The boss won’t be on the ship all the time,” A-Quan said calmly. “We’ll be using this ship most of the time, so practicality is the most important thing.”

The two looked at Xia You, waiting for his decision.

Xia You pondered for a moment: "'Tides'? Not bad, understated, and it also evokes the feeling of the ocean."

Fire Goose's beak immediately puffed up, like an angry pufferfish.

"What about the 'Flame Queen'?"

"Next time we have a ship, we'll name it after you," Xia You said with a smile, trying to comfort her. "Or, when we settle down somewhere, we'll build you a gym called 'Blazing Flame Gym,' and you can be the gym leader."

Huoyan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

When have I ever lied to you?

Huo Yan then turned her anger into joy, but still made a face at A Quan from an angle where A Quan couldn't see her.

Ah Quan pretended not to see it, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

In fact, Xia You didn't really care what the ship was called, since, as A-Quan just said, he wouldn't always be on this ship.

The one who truly controls this place is A-Quan, so if A-Quan decides what to call it, then he just needs to agree.

"Oh, right." While smiling, A-Quan suddenly remembered something, his expression turning serious. "Do you want to meet that person?"
