I caught a Pokémon

His response was also fine.

The gem starfish will perform even better!

But Xia You's Milotic has a big problem!

It's too powerful!

Knowing that this was a Pokémon that had been trained at the tournament, Xi Ziyi did not expect that it could completely surpass her Starmie in every aspect.

Ultimately, this lead turned into an advantage. As Starmie's stamina was greatly depleted, during its final dodge, it was too exhausted to dodge in time and was caught in Milotic's Surf. Under the immense force, it crashed into the wooden railing and lost its ability to fight.

Two to zero.

Xi Ziyi is already on the verge of failure.

But he had no other choice.

Unlike the first match, Milotic won the battle just now through sheer strength; it was a complete and utter suppression of power. Now that I think about it, even if Xizi Yi wanted to win, she wouldn't know how.

Even after replaying the battle in his mind several times, he still couldn't find a way to win.

Recalling what Xia You had said earlier, Xi Ziyi shook her head inwardly.

So... this is the true power of this man's Pokémon?

And this is only the second-tier lineup...

I really don't know how strong his main Pokémon is!

Knowing that he would probably lose the entire challenge, Xi Ziyi didn't care. He just wanted to see if he could defeat the Pokémon in front of him by combining the power of his three Pokémon.

After recalling the unconscious Starmie, he sent out his last Pokémon.

"Come forth, giant flying fish!"

Amidst flashes of blue light, a large fish-like Pokémon, over two meters tall with a wingspan exceeding three meters, resembling a manta ray, appeared on the water's surface!

This is the giant flying fish.

As a Pokémon that can often be seen in the Johto region, Xia You is naturally very familiar with it.

Judging from its habits, Manta Ray is actually a very docile Pokémon. When people are sailing at sea, they often encounter groups of Manta Ray swimming quickly in the sea and leaping out of the water to fly. Therefore, some people often mistake it for a bird Pokémon.

Just like before, Xia You didn't change her Pokémon, but continued to let Milotic battle.

In this battle, Xizi Yi was driven to the brink of despair and became determined to replace Milotic. As a result, he became extremely focused, and as a result, his giant flying fish also displayed even stronger abilities.

Especially after leaving the water, attacking from high altitude gives them a significant positional advantage.

It can go into the sea below and briefly fly in the sky above, and it's very fast.

It has to be said that this did put some pressure on Milotic.

Although it was only a tiny bit.

But given its inherent strength, the only problem is that the giant flying fish's brief ability to stay airborne is that it's a bit difficult for Milotic to deal with, but it's not a big deal.

As the giant exoplanet ascended into the air, Milotic climbed onto a round stone pillar in the water, skillfully maneuvering its body and using the pillar as a fulcrum to exchange attacks with the giant exoplanet in the air.

The stone pillar wasn't particularly thick, but it was sturdy enough. Using this spot as a fulcrum, its slender body was slightly bent, and a faint aura of water element surrounded it, calmly dealing with the attacks from above.

"Giant Winged Flying Fish, use Air Slash!"

Xi Ziyi also knew that this was her last chance, and she had to seize the aerial advantage of the giant flying fish in order to have a chance to defeat Milotic.

Upon receiving the command, the giant flying fish spread its broad wings and flapped them powerfully, conjuring sharp air blades that hurtled towards Milotic on the stone pillar with a whistling sound. As it flapped its wings, it could also flexibly adjust its position and constantly change its attack angle, giving Milotic no chance to catch its breath.

Without Xia You needing to speak, Milotic began to respond.

Milotic flicked its tail, and water condensed around it, creating a circular wave of water that spread out like an invisible barrier, precisely blocking its path.

The sharp air slashes struck the water ripples and were instantly neutralized, dissipating into fine air currents without even damaging Milotic's scales.

Xi Ziyi frowned, but without hesitation, she immediately adjusted her commands: "Giant Winged Flying Fish, dive down and use Ram!"

The giant flying fish folded its wings, and its massive body swooped down towards Milotic on the stone pillar like a meteorite. Its speed was incredible; in that instant, a white shockwave seemed to form around it!

This attack was delivered with all its might.

Just as the giant flying fish was about to collide with it, Milotic's body suddenly tensed up, but instead of dodging, it chose to meet the attack head-on!

Its slender body sprang up from the stone pillar like a water dragon emerging from the water, its tail now wreathed in azure light.

Water flow tail!

boom!

The two forces collided violently in mid-air.

The shockwave spread outwards, blasting a huge crater in the water below and creating waves several meters high. The entire battlefield trembled slightly.

The giant flying fish's ramming attack is indeed incredibly powerful, but the Milotic's Flow Tail is no less formidable.

The two Pokémon were locked in a stalemate for a moment before being simultaneously bounced away by the recoil.

The giant flying fish tumbled several times in the air before falling back into the water.

Milotic landed back on the stone pillar, its tail still tightly wrapped around it, its posture still elegant, but upon closer inspection, its breathing had become a little more rapid.

Xi Ziyi gritted her teeth.

He doesn't understand.

After two consecutive battles, this Milotic should have been greatly exhausted.

But why...?

Why is it still able to remain so composed?

"Giant Flying Fish, unleash another Air Slash! Don't give it a chance to breathe!"

The giant flying fish swam around in the water a few times before soaring into the sky again, while at the same time, a series of air blades slashed towards Milotic once more.

Xia You watched the incoming air blades, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Milkyr, it's time to end this."

Just as he finished speaking, Milotic's eyes suddenly lit up.

It suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a water cannonball much thicker than before gushed out.

It's a water cannon!

The water cannonball was incredibly powerful; it not only shattered all the air blades but also continued its trajectory towards the giant flying fish in mid-air!

"Get out of the way!" Xi Ziyi shouted.

But the giant flying fish is not a bird; it only glides briefly in the air. Moreover, it was already exhausted and its movements were a beat slower, so how could it possibly dodge?

The water cannon hit head-on.

The giant flying fish let out a mournful cry, was blasted away by the water column, crashed heavily into the wooden fence at the edge of the arena, and then slid down, completely losing its ability to fight.

The referee glanced at it and raised his right hand.

"Manavia is unable to battle, Milotic wins! The winner of this gym battle is challenger Xia You!"

Chapter 1401 Xiao Guang: Brother Xia You, you're so cool!

Xia You found Ya Mi, Zhen Gu, and Xiao Guang on the beach.

Honestly, it's hard for three beautiful women—two adults and one child—to not attract attention on the beach, especially without male companions.

When Xia You stepped onto the soft, fine sand and arrived at their area, she saw several men surrounding them from afar, seemingly trying to strike up a conversation. Xia You's eyes narrowed, and she was about to rush over, but before she could get close, Xiao Guang blocked Yami and Makomo's path. At her instruction, Bogaman sprayed a mouthful of salt water directly into the faces of the men, knocking them to the ground.

"What are you doing, you little brat?!"

These men were unwilling to cooperate and stood up to argue with Xiao Guang, but Xiao Guang was not so easy to deal with. With just a raised eyebrow, he was about to let Bogaman strike again.

In this atmosphere, Xia You walked over to these people.

Are you harassing my woman?

Upon hearing Xia You's voice, the men seemed to have found a scapegoat. They all turned around, wanting to regain their lost face and teach Xia You a lesson so they could show off in front of these women.

But as soon as they turned around, they saw Xia You's cold face.

At this moment, Xia You's usual amiable demeanor vanished. Her gaze was icy and extremely oppressive. Although she was just standing there, the astonishing aura she exuded made the men's legs tremble!

Gudong.

Someone swallowed hard, and in this tense moment, the sound was quite awkward.

Seeing their companions frozen in place, someone finally came to their senses, suppressing their fear, and said to Xia You with a fierce but weak tone, "You're their companion?! Look at what they've done, they sprayed us all with water! How do you think we're going to resolve this?!"

Xia You didn't bother wasting her breath on them; she simply took out a Poké Ball and released her Dragonite.

Upon appearing, Dragonite was not as amiable as usual, and glared at the men with a fierce expression.

Intimidated by Dragonite's imposing presence, these people instinctively took a step back.

“Now,” Xia You said coldly, looking at them, “apologize to my woman, and then get out of here.”

"you--!"

"I'm only giving you five seconds. If you miss them, I'll throw you into the deep sea."

Realizing he wasn't joking, the men exchanged glances and ultimately backed down. They obediently walked up to Yami and the others, bowed deeply, apologized, and then slunk away.

Once they were out of sight, Xiao Guang jumped right next to Xia You, wrapped his arm around his, and said with a grin, "Brother Xia You, you were so handsome just now!"

At this moment, Xiao Guang was wearing a swimsuit. Although he wasn't very well-endowed yet, with only two small mounds, it still made Xia You feel strange as he rubbed against his arm.

He cleared his throat, looked at Xiaoguang, and praised, "You did a great job just now too."

"Of course!" Hikaru proudly puffed out his chest. "When you're not around, it's my job to protect Ami-neechan and Makomo-neechan!"

Xia You patted her head and looked at Ya Mi and Zhen Gu.

Just then, the two women walked over.

Looking at Xia You as well, Ya Mi asked with a smile, "How was it? Did the gym battle go smoothly? You've been gone for so long, you should have won by now, right?"

“Of course.” Xia You smiled smugly. “The Wave Badge was obtained without any effort at all.”

Unlike Yami, Makomo's mind was still replaying Xia You's words.

Are you harassing my woman?

Does this mean you're including yourself in this conversation?

Yami and Xiaoguang go without saying; one is his woman, and the other is his sister. But what about himself?

Am I overthinking things, or is Xia You wrong?

It's fair to say that after so many things have happened, Makomo couldn't possibly do it, even if she didn't think about it too much.

Xia You may not have meant it that way at all, but Makomo, whose mind is in a daze, will over-interpret his words and actions.

She had become obsessed with Xia You.

Xia You naturally had no idea what Zhen Gu was thinking, but seeing her face suddenly turn red, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

However, he was soon distracted by other things.

The sun was shining brightly and the temperature was pleasant. He took a half-day off and lay down next to the women, enjoying a rare sunbath.

With him present, although the men passing by were envious of his many beautiful companions, none of them dared to bother them anymore.

After leisurely spending a few hours on the beach, the group washed the sand off themselves and found a nearby seafood restaurant for their dinner.

It has to be said that in such a resort area, so close to the sea, the prices at this restaurant are naturally outrageously expensive.

But Xia You didn't care about any of that.

Although he's not a millionaire now, he's still quite wealthy and doesn't care about such a small amount. Besides, he comes here for the atmosphere, not every day. What's wrong with spending a little money occasionally?

Most importantly, although the prices here are high, they are worth it. At least every dish they ordered was delicious and suited their tastes.

Xiao Guang, in particular, ate with the most enjoyment.

……

After resting overnight in Bozhou, Qinghai, Xia You and her companions set off again early the next morning.

This time, they changed direction and began traveling south.
