I caught a Pokémon

With a roar, the Röntgen transformed into a golden beam of light thicker and brighter than ever before, charging toward Eevee with overwhelming force.

This attack risked all of its strength.

This time, Xia You did not let Lei Yibu avoid it.

"Catch it," he said simply.

Rayquaza stood there, motionless, his purple eyes calmly watching the approaching golden light.

There was no dodging, no defense, and not even any stance for any move.

boom--!!

The golden beam of light slammed into Rayquaza, unleashing a deafening roar. Blinding sparks flew in all directions, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daytime, and the girls in the stands instinctively closed their eyes.

Little Chrysanthemum's eyes widened.

She knew the power of this attack. With Luxray's stamina almost gone, this attack was almost a matter of burning its life force. Even if Jolteon was an Electric-type, it would be impossible for it to emerge unscathed from such an attack.

The lightning gradually faded away.

In the center of the field, Reyb was still standing there.

It tilted its head slightly, shook its fur which was a little fluffy from the electric shock, and elegantly combed the downy fur behind its ear with one front paw. It raised its head, glanced at Little Chrysanthemum, and its eyes were as calm as if nothing had just happened.

Unscathed.

No—not just unharmed.

Its fur was even shinier than when the battle had begun, as if it had taken a bath after the electric shock and was now refreshed.

Xiao Ju'er's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Electricity storage..."

She murmured the name of that characteristic.

Rayquaza's characteristic is not its ability to escape, nor its adaptability—it's its ability to store electricity.

When hit by an electric-type move, you will not take damage; instead, you will recover health.

Her crazy Volt attack, which she had risked everything for, not only did not cause any damage to Jolteon, but it also helped it recover the stamina it had used up in the previous battle!

The entire room fell silent.

The girls in the audience looked at each other, and it took them a while to realize what had happened.

"Xrontracey's electric attack... is ineffective against that Jolteon?"

"It's not ineffective... it's been absorbed by it! It's actually more energetic now!"

"How are we supposed to fight this?!"

Little Chrysanthemum stood there, looking at the Rayquaza calmly grooming its fur in the arena, and then at the X-Raycat lying in the distance, completely unable to fight. For a moment, she was speechless.

The Röntgen cat lay on the ground, its body twitching slightly, and its golden eyes slowly closed.

It has done its best.

The referee quickly stepped forward to check, then raised the flag.

"Xrontracey is unable to battle, Jolteon wins!"

A complex murmur erupted from the audience—a mix of amazement, regret, and lively discussion about the dramatic scene that had just unfolded.

Little Chrysanthemum took a deep breath and returned the Xenomorph to its Poké Ball.

She looked down at the faintly glowing red core in the ball, remained silent for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

It was a helpless smile, but also a smile of resignation.

She thought she had found a way to break the deadlock: to force Jolteon to fight head-on with continuous electric discharge, and then to use Mad Volt for a final battle.

It turns out they were waiting for this move from the very beginning—go ahead and hit me, I'll heal myself.

From the very beginning, this Raibou did not see the Xenogear as a threat.

"Really..."

Xiaoju said softly, put the Poké Ball back to her waist, and looked up at Xia You opposite her.

"I feel like you've made a fool of me."

Chapter 1420 Even the proudest heart needs to be convinced.

Xiaoju'er's voice carried a hint of helplessness, but more so an excitement that came from having her fighting spirit ignited.

She looked at Xia You, a bitter smile on her lips, but a defiant fire burning in her eyes.

Xia You smiled slightly: "I wasn't playing tricks on you. It's just that your attacks kept missing, so you couldn't see Jolteon's characteristics. How can you blame me for that?"

Xiao Ju'er paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"It's not like it's my fault." She shook her head, put the Xeno'jiiva Poké Ball back into her waistband, took a deep breath, and regained the composure befitting a gym leader. "But it's alright, the competition has only just begun!"

That being said, in the next three battles, she sent out three Pokémon: Electabuzz, Mudskipper, and Electabuzz.

Without exception, they were all easily defeated by Xia You's other three Pokémon.

Three Pokémon, three different fighting styles.

Without exception, no matter how Xiao Ju'er tried to adjust, Xia You remained like a mountain, blocking her way and leaving her helpless.

After all three Pokémon failed, Kikyo's expression became even more serious.

The audience was completely silent.

Before the war started, no one would have imagined that Xiaoju would be forced to this point.

She didn't win a single one of the five battles!

Is this still the Xiaojuer they know?

Do not……

It must be, why is this man so strong?!

The girls in the audience finally realized that Xia You was different from all the previous challengers. This time, they didn't scream or shout, but only whispered among themselves.

"His Pokémon are amazing!"

"Oh no, Kikyo only has one Pokémon left."

"Exactly, how are we supposed to fight like this?"

Hearing these sounds, Xiao Ju'er's mood inevitably fluctuated.

But she didn't say much, nor did she show any sign of resentment.

Instead, a faint smile curved the corners of her mouth.

This wasn't a wry smile, but a smile of resignation.

She raised her head and looked at Xia You opposite her.

"The world's strongest trainer," she said softly. "Truly living up to her reputation."

Xia You recalled his Pokémon, looked at her, and said nothing.

Little Chrysanthemum took a deep breath, reached to her waist, and took out the last Poké Ball.

Her hand lingered on the surface of the ball for a moment, as if caressing something precious, before she pressed the button hard.

"Thunder Zebra, please."

A flash of blue light appeared, and a lithe Pokémon appeared in the center of the arena.

This is Daisy's ace Pokémon!

Watching the thunder zebra's retreating figure, Xiaoju'er's eyes softened considerably.

This isn't her first Pokémon, nor is it the partner that's been with her from the beginning. It may not be the strongest, but it's definitely the most compatible!

As long as it can still fight, there is still hope for me!

She turned her gaze away from the lightning zebra and looked up at Xia You again.

Xia You looked at her, her expression remaining calm.

But he also reached for his waist and took out his last Poké Ball from his pouch.

"Greninja, it's all up to you now."

A blue light flashed, and his black Greninja appeared in the center of the arena.

Upon its appearance, the cool and aloof black Greninja immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Looking at the Pokémon, the Zephyr pawed at the ground with its front hooves and let out a low neigh.

Golden electric light danced among the stripes on its body, and its mane burned even more fiercely under the stimulation of the electric current. Its whole body was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, revealing its full power!

Greninja stood at the other end of the field, one knee slightly bent, her red scarf fluttering gently in the still air.

It didn't adopt any aggressive posture, nor did it even look at the Thunder Zebra opposite it. Instead, it tilted its head slightly, as if listening to something.

It is listening to Xia You's voice.

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee raised the flag.

"The game continues!"

Just as the flag was lowered, Xiao Ju'er spoke first.

"Thunder Zebra, Flash of Light!"

Her voice was decisive and crisp, carrying a sense of resolute determination, and at her command, the Thunder Zebra vanished from its spot.

At that moment, it seemed to transform into lightning, pushing its speed to the extreme!

The golden figure drew a lightning-like zigzag line in the center of the field, darting from left to right and then back to left, its trajectory unpredictable, making it impossible to predict its attack direction.

The girls in the audience gasped in surprise.

They had never seen a lightning zebra move at such speed before!

It's clear that Xiaoju'er has truly unleashed her potential this time!

Faced with such an attack, Greninja did not make any move, but its eyes followed the Thunder Zebra's movements rapidly.

In short, it's like asking for trouble for a Water-type Greninja to fight an Electric-type Zephyr.

But as I said before, in Xia You's eyes now, attribute advantage is no longer that important.

However, for Xiaojuer, this attribute advantage is also a key factor in whether she can turn the tide!

In the arena, Greninja's eyes narrowed slightly.

Just as the lightning zebra was about to collide with it, its body shifted slightly to the side.

In an instant, a flash of lightning from the Thunder Zebra grazed its tongue scarf, sending crackling electricity through the air.

Xiao Ju'er frowned.

Were they all dodged?

"Thunder Zebra, 100,000 Volts!!"

In the afterglow of its charge, Thunder Zebra suddenly turned around, the flames on its mane suddenly surged, and a thick golden current shot out from its body, striking Greninja directly in the face!

But the next second, Greninja also disappeared.

People hurriedly searched for it, and finally found the Greninja frog that had suddenly appeared behind the Thunder Zebra.

Zebra's Thunderbolt missed, exposing its back to Greninja.

"Thunder Zebra, behind you!!"

Little Kiku's reminder was quick, but Greninja was even faster.

Just as the Thunder Zebra suddenly turned around and tried to relock onto its target, Greninja's hand had already reached to its waist, and a shuriken formed from water appeared in its hand, its sharp edge gleaming coldly under the light!

Water shuriken.

"Jump up and avoid it!!"

The lightning zebra leaped into the air with all four hooves, and the water shuriken swept past beneath it, leaving a clear trail of water in the air.
