I caught a Pokémon

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Ju'er was stunned: "What...does this mean?"

"Six against six is ​​certainly possible," Xia You said with a smile. "It's just that my main team isn't all with me, so I'm afraid I won't be able to let them play. But don't worry, the Pokémon I have with me right now are definitely not bad either, and they won't disappoint you."

"I see." Little Kikyo was a very clever person. Although Xia You said that, she understood. "You're worried that I'm no match for you, right? How considerate. But I'm not that fragile. Of course, since you've chosen not to send your main force, I will respect your choice. So, let me see just how powerful your Pokémon really are!"

The referee then snapped out of his daze from the two players' conversation and quickly adjusted his cue card, changing the three-on-three match to a six-on-six game.

The electronic display screens on the sidelines also updated the information simultaneously, with the huge "6VS6" sign flashing between pink and purple neon tubes, eliciting another round of gasps from the stands.

Little Kiss walked briskly and confidently toward her trainer command area.

Xia You also walked to the other side, and the two of them looked at each other from afar across the entire battlefield.

"Alright," the referee raised her flag, her voice booming through the microphone throughout the arena, "the Raven City Gym Leader Challenge will be between Gym Leader Xiaojuer and Challenger Xia You! The rules are six-on-six all-out battle! The match ends when all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle! Both sides may freely switch Pokémon!"

Seeing that neither side was of any use, she suddenly swung the flag down.

"Game start!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoju took out the first Poké Ball from her waist and gently twirled it in her hand.

The spotlight shone on her, her golden curls glittering under the light, making her look as dazzling as if she had stepped out of a magazine cover.

"Go, Electric Dragon!"

As she threw the Poké Ball, a blue light flashed, and an Ampharos appeared in the center of the field.

Xia You's gaze lingered on the electric dragon for a moment.

He was already very familiar with this kind of Pokémon.

From its posture, to its eyes, to the luster of its fur and the rhythm of its breathing, it is clear that this electric dragon has been bred to a very high standard.

It is indeed a Pokémon whose strength and skill level are above average.

"Interesting." Xia You chuckled, then took out a Poké Ball from her waist pouch. "Infernape, it's yours now."

Another flash of blue light appeared, and Infernape landed on the field.

As soon as it landed, it straightened its body, and the flames on its tail burst into flames with a "whoosh," leaving a bright trail in the air. Looking at the electric dragon opposite it, the corners of its mouth slightly grinned, revealing a row of neat teeth, and its eyes flashed with excitement!

Little Chrysanthemum's gaze naturally fell on the Infernape, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

She is an excellent trainer and can naturally tell the quality of her opponents.

The Infernape stood there, relaxed yet unwavering, the flames on its tail steady and bright, its breathing calm and deep—truly the composure of a true powerhouse.

"Not bad." Little Kikyo's lips curled up slightly. "It seems you were right, your Pokémon are indeed quite extraordinary."

Seeing that the two were ready to fight at any moment, the audience erupted in excitement.

"Little Chrysanthemum! Little Chrysanthemum! Little Chrysanthemum!"

A unified shout rang out from all four stands at the same time, and the support signs shone brightly under the lights. Some girls stood up excitedly, cupped their hands to their mouths, and shouted with all their might.

The sound waves were so immense that they reflected back and forth within the enclosed battlefield, causing eardrums to ache. Any occasional stray noises were instantly drowned out by the sea of ​​Xiaoju'er's fans.

Xia You ignored all of this and focused his gaze on the electric dragon.

Come on, Kiku, let me see your strength in the last gym battle in the Unova region!

Chapter 1417 Witness My Power

At that moment, both Pokémon reacted simultaneously.

The electric dragon's body suddenly shone brightly, not as a prelude to an attack, but as an explosion of its aura. That invisible pressure spread outwards from its body, causing the neon lights at the edge of the arena to tremble slightly.

The flames on Infernape's tail suddenly shot up.

Instead of retreating, it lowered its body slightly, clenched its fists in front of it, and locked its gaze on the electric dragon opposite it.

Xiao Ju'er did not rush to give the order.

She cautiously examined the Infernape, the smile fading from her lips, replaced by a serious and focused expression.

The person standing on this side of the field right now is not a model, nor a fashion icon, but the owner of Raven Dojo!

"Electric Dragon, Electromagnetic Wave!"

She spoke first, and at her command, the light on the electric dragon suddenly changed color, and golden electric threads burst from its body, transforming into a fine net of light that enveloped Infernape.

It's clear that she wants to block Infernape's movements first.

This is the right choice; once it hits, Infernape's speed will be greatly reduced.

Xia You made no attempt to avoid the issue.

He also knew that if he wanted to subdue a woman like Xiaoju, he couldn't rely on tricks; he had to show his tough side appropriately.

"Flame Vortex".

Infernape took a deep breath and then exhaled it forcefully.

Intense flames poured from its mouth, not shooting straight out, but swirling and spreading outwards, forming a rotating wall of fire in front of it. Electromagnetic waves collided with the vortex of flames, and golden electric wires intertwined with the crimson flames, emitting a piercing sizzling sound, before simultaneously dissipating into the air.

The first round ended in a draw.

Xiao Ju'er's eyes narrowed slightly.

Using a flame vortex to block electromagnetic waves—this method of response is not uncommon, but the fact that Xia You was able to make the correct judgment in the blink of an eye shows that Xia You and his Flame Monkey have a very good working relationship.

"Electric Dragon, Dragon Pulse!"

The electric dragon swung its tail violently, and emerald green dragon-shaped energy surged from its body, transforming into a huge beam of light that blasted towards the Infernape.

The air itself trembled wherever the beam of light passed, demonstrating that this electric dragon was indeed a Pokémon she had carefully nurtured.

"Infernape, get out of the way."

Infernape's body shifted to the side the instant the beam arrived, the movement swift and clean, without a single wasted movement.

The dragon's wave grazed its body and exploded into a burst of emerald green flames on the wall behind it.

But Xiaoju did not stop her attack.

She had anticipated this attack, and it seemed unlikely to do anything to Xia You.

"100,000 volts!"

As she quickly issued her second command, the electric dragon's body crackled with electricity once more!

This time, it will be far more intense than before!

Golden electricity surged wildly from its body, transforming into countless tiny electric snakes that pounced on Infernape, sealing off its space to dodge left and right.

Seeing the electric dragon's attack, the spectators outside the arena cheered and screamed even more.

As for Xia You...

not bad.

The first few moves were all offensive, and all of them were very sharp.

Nodding to herself, Xia You chuckled, "Don't let her underestimate the Flame Fist."

Infernape's right fist burst into flames. Instead of retreating, it charged forward into the sky filled with lightning.

With a blast of Flame Punch, Infernape cleaved a gap in the oncoming electric current, allowing it to slip through and reach the Ampharos less than five meters away.

Xiao Ju'er's expression finally changed.

The speed, reaction, and Xia You's command rhythm of this Infernape were all much faster than she had expected.

This is really tricky!

"Electro Dragon, hold on!!"

A transparent barrier instantly materialized in front of the electric dragon.

In this brief opportunity, Infernape closed the final distance, its Flame Punch slamming into the barrier, unleashing a massive shockwave that spread outwards.

The electric dragon's body swayed slightly, but it held firm and did not break.

Infernape didn't linger in the fight; it attacked once and retreated, creating distance again.

This is also extremely wise.

Although Infernape has the Fighting type and is very good at close combat, it still needs to be careful when fighting an Electric-type Pokémon.

Xia You and Xiao Ju'er exchanged a glance across the entire area.

From the start until now, the two sides are still evenly matched.

But both of them knew that this was a round of attacks by Xiaojuer and Dianlong, but neither of them had achieved any results, which meant that the situation was beginning to become delicate.

Xiao Ju took a deep breath, secretly adjusted her mindset, and at the same time re-observed and sized up her opponent.

This fire monkey was much more troublesome than she had imagined.

It is fast, quick to react, decisive in attack and retreat, and almost impossible to find any flaws.

Is this man's Pokémon?

This isn't even the first-team lineup; I really don't know how good his main players are!

"Electro Dragon, Power Gem!!"

In the blink of an eye, Daisy made her decision: she would continue with her style, relentlessly attacking and overwhelming Infernape's space to defeat the Pokémon!

Ampharos raised its head, and the red bead on its head suddenly lit up. Countless tiny light bullets shot out from the bead, raining down on Infernape like a meteor shower.

"Infernape, use Flame Wheel."

Infernape curled up into a ball, and the flames around it instantly surged, enveloping its entire body in a burning sphere.

It rolled across the field at an astonishing speed, and the light projectiles that landed on the fire wheel were either deflected or engulfed by the flames, causing almost no damage.

Xiao Ju'er clenched her fists instinctively.

This can be cracked?!

Before she could even react with surprise, Xia You's calm voice rang out again.

"Get closer to it."

Infernape's Flame Wheel drew an arc in the center of the arena, bypassing Ampharos's front and approaching from the side.

"Electric Dragon, unleash your electricity!!"

Xiao Ju'er also did not choose to hide.

Or rather, given the speed of the electric dragon, it simply couldn't dodge such an attack, forcing her to prepare for a head-on confrontation.

As the Infernape charged towards them, Ampharos's body erupted with electricity from all directions.

It spreads outwards from the center, leaving no blind spots. This is an area-of-effect attack, and no matter which direction Infernape approaches from, it cannot completely avoid it.

But Infernape didn't stop.

The flame wheel continued its trajectory without slowing down, crashing directly into the ocean of electric current.

The electric current struck the flame wheel, producing crackling and popping sounds. The flames flickered under the impact of the electric light, but never went out.

Under such attacks, it had already rushed up to the electric dragon.

The Flame Wheel suddenly unfolded, and Infernape emerged from the flames, its right fist now ablaze with even more intense flames than before.

"Sonic Fist".

The punch was too fast; the electric dragon didn't have time to react.

The punch landed squarely on the electric dragon's abdomen, the enormous impact sending it flying. It slid several meters in the center of the arena before finally coming to a stop.

The electric dragon was panting, its limbs trembling slightly, but it did not fall.

Xiao Ju'er clenched her fists again.

This Infernape's explosive power was even stronger than she had anticipated!

"Electric Dragon, Volt replacement."

The electric current surged through Ampharos again, but this time it wasn't an attack; it retreated. Its body transformed into a golden bolt of electricity, shooting towards Kikyo, drawing an arc in mid-air, and returning to its Poké Ball.

Little Daisy held the Poké Ball, her gaze fixed on the Infernape in the center of the field.

The monkey was flicking the flames off its tail, tilting its head as it looked at her with a half-smile on its lips.
