I caught a Pokémon

If it were anyone else, N might have ignored them, but this was Xia You, the man who had defeated him, and he instinctively stopped in his tracks.

Turning around, she looked at the man opposite her and saw that all the female trainers with extremely strong abilities had gathered around him.

Just as N was about to say something, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"N! Are you alright!?"

He turned his head again and saw two women running towards him.

It was none other than Barbena and Holena, the two older sisters who were adopted by Team Plasma leader Quigish and had no blood relation to him.

After running to N's side, Barbena and Holina checked on him and, seeing that he was alright, were relieved. They then stood with him and looked at the people opposite them who seemed to have ill intentions.

Xia You glanced at the two women.

They were around the same age as me, both over twenty. One had long pink hair and a fair forehead, looking gentle and virtuous. The other had long blonde hair like a rabbit's head, braided at the back, looking clever and quick-witted. Although their clothes and appearances were different, they had one thing in common: they were both very beautiful.

Although it was their first meeting, Xia You recognized them at a glance.

It has to be said that N not only possesses great power, but also comes from an evil organization and has two beautiful older sisters by his side. If these factors were combined, he would definitely be the protagonist template in any other anime.

Unfortunately, in this Pokémon world, he is destined to be just a supporting character.

But it has to be said, such good fortune is truly enviable.

Thinking this, Xia You subconsciously glanced at her side.

Yami, Zhengu, Zhulan, Jiadeliya, Xiaoguang, and now Xiaojuer...

Well, no matter how you look at it, I'm better.

It turns out I'm the one who's more like the protagonist!

At this point, N spoke up.

"What's the matter?"

"Where are you going?" Xia You asked.

"leave."

"Leave?" Xia You raised an eyebrow. "After what happened, do you think you can leave so easily? Although you were indeed trying to stop it, I think this whole thing is related to you and Team Plasma, isn't it?"

Before N could say anything, sensing something was off about Xia You's tone, Babena and Holina stepped forward and blocked N's way.

"Who are you!?"

"How dare you talk to N like that!"

The two women abandoned their gentle demeanor towards N and stared intently at Xia You, as if they would step in to teach him a lesson on N's behalf should he make any move or do anything that would be detrimental to N.

Judging from these two points, these two people must have been living in seclusion all along.

Otherwise, if they knew Xia You's strength, they would never have been so confident and would not have said such things.

but……

Xia You remembered that they seemed to have some unique abilities, right?

What was it again?

I don't quite remember.

Regardless, he didn't even glance at their threats, let alone take them seriously.

Don't even mention taking matters into their own hands; if a real fight broke out, they probably couldn't even beat Xiaoguang.

Stopping her two older sisters, N stepped forward and shielded them behind her.

He looked at Xia You, paused for two seconds, and then spoke: "This matter is indeed related to me."

“I just want to stop them.” N’s voice was hoarse, as if he were talking to himself. “Akromar, the doctor from Team Plasma, he’s come to the secret research facility in Raven City—”

"Wait!!" Little Kiku suddenly interrupted him, her eyes wide. "Team Plasma's secret research facility!? In Raven City!?"

N nodded slightly: "He wants to use the Genesect Legion to achieve certain goals."

"What's your purpose?" Xia You asked.

“I don’t know.” N shook his head. “He never told me. Maybe from the beginning, these people never considered me a true ally, but I know that these Pokémon are suffering, and I have to stop them.”

Chapter 1427 Impossible, and Shouldn't Be

It's easy to tell from N's words that he has completely broken with Team Plasma.

Xiao Ju'er bit her lip, the veins on her clenched fists bulging slightly. She took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress the anger in her heart, but she couldn't.

"Where's the research institute?" she asked, her voice more urgent than before. "Where exactly is the Plasma Team's research institute?!"

N glanced at her and remained silent for a moment.

Just as Xiaoju thought he didn't want to tell her and was about to press him for an answer, N shook his head.

"They had already escaped while I was destroying the place."

"You?" Xiaoju'er was stunned for a moment. "You destroyed the research institute?"

N nodded: "I don't want to see any Pokémon suffer anywhere anymore."

Xiaoju was skeptical of N's words.

She had never met this person before, so she naturally didn't know anything about his past or his character. Now that she heard he had destroyed the Plasma Team's research institute, she naturally didn't quite believe it.

"Just you? The three of you?"

Xia You reached out and stopped Xiao Ju'er, whispering to her, "His name is N. He is the adopted son of Quixote, the leader of Team Plasma, and holds a very high position in Team Plasma."

Quixote's adopted son?

How could it have left the Plasma Team?!

She glanced at Xia You, and despite having many questions, Xiao Ju'er moved her lips but swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

She was more inclined to believe Xia You than this so-called plasma team.

Xia You turned her gaze to N, her tone calm, as if asking something trivial: "Do you know where Genesect is right now?"

N stared at Xia You for two seconds without answering immediately.

His gaze was scrutinizing, as if he were trying to guess the purpose of Xia You's question.

"You want to subdue them?"

"Capture?" Xia You's lips curled up slightly, almost bursting into laughter. "I'm different from other trainers."

N didn't speak, but just frowned and looked at him.

However, Barbena and Holina, who were beside him, kept a wary eye on Xia You while the others were talking.

“We can’t trust him,” Barbena spoke first, her voice soft but her tone firm. “They just want to know where Genesect is!”

“That’s right,” Holina added, glancing at the Poké Balls in Xia You’s waist pouch. “These trainers are all the same; they only treat Pokémon as tools!”

N stared at Xia You for a few seconds, the light in his green eyes shifting several times before he shook his head.

"I don't know, but I will find them."

I don't know if he genuinely didn't know, or if he simply didn't want to tell me.

Xia You only glanced at him and didn't press the matter further.

He simply turned around and, with a few people around him, walked in another direction.

Seeing that he had just left, N's somewhat surprised voice came from behind: "You...you're letting me go?"

There was a hint of surprise in his tone.

He clearly assumed that Xia You would capture him, hand him over to Officer Jenny, or at least continue to interrogate him.

After all, he was a member of Team Plasma, or at least he used to be.

Xia You didn't turn around, she just waved her hand.

"Don't overestimate yourself. I have no interest in someone who has already left Team Plasma."

Upon hearing his words, N stood rooted to the spot, staring at Xia You's retreating figure, motionless for a long time. Barbena and Holina exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

In their eyes, N has always been the focus of everyone's attention.

Whether it's the Quidditch, the Sages, or the other members of Team Plasma, when N appears, most of their attention is focused on N.

Even in the city, passersby, no matter who they see, will naturally turn their eyes to N.

This gave the two of them a misconception.

That is, N is the most special one in the world.

Of course, this is not an illusion. As a product of the combination of humans and Pokémon, N is indeed unique.

But now, someone is ignoring him and doesn't even take N seriously. For the two of them, this is not only a situation they have never encountered before, but it also seriously tramples on N's position in their hearts.

This naturally caused the two to go from being hostile towards Xia You to feeling disgusted.

But for N, it was like escaping death.

Despite Xia You's calm demeanor throughout, only he could sense the undercurrents beneath the surface.

Especially the fire-breathing dragon next to Xia You.

Under its sharp gaze, N felt hostility and pressure from a Pokémon for the first time.

This was a situation we had never encountered before.

Before this, he could befriend all Pokémon and make them stand for him without catching them. But now, a Pokémon with unprecedented strength and an aura of absolute power was staring intently at him, as if it would rush up and tear him apart at the slightest provocation. This image was deeply imprinted in his mind.

This man and his Pokémon... are indeed extraordinary.

"Barbena, Holina, let's go too."

……

When leaving the city center, Xia You saw that Xiao Ju'er was still somewhat serious, so she comforted him with a few words.

"Don't worry, if that man said the research institute was destroyed, then it must have been destroyed. He wouldn't lie to us about that."

"Who exactly is he?"

Seeing that Zhu Lan and Jia Deliya were also looking over, Xia You could only tell them about N's background as she walked.

Upon hearing that N was actually the child of a human and a Pokémon, the girls' eyes widened in surprise.

"How is this possible!?" Cynthia was extremely surprised. "Humans and Pokémon merging? How could they do this... I mean... they shouldn't do this."

It's clear that N's background truly shattered her worldview.

“It’s really unlikely.” Makomo pushed up her glasses. “Putting aside how much desire a person would have to go into heat with a Pokémon, there’s an insurmountable reproductive barrier between the two species; it’s impossible for them to give birth!”

“But you all saw it with your own eyes, didn’t you?” Xia You shook her head. “He was standing right there, and he did indeed possess amazing abilities.”

Cattleya chimed in, "Indeed, I can also sense that he is extraordinary, seemingly radiating an inhuman aura. But it's truly incredible, what kind of Pokémon could give birth to a child that is almost identical to a human?"

"It should be a Psychic Pokémon." Cynthia sighed, then looked thoughtfully at Xia You. "He looks quite handsome, and has green hair. Could he be the child of a Gardevoir and a human?"

Chapter 1428 Bamboo Orchid: You want a next time?!

Xia You didn't respond to that.

It seems they felt the topic was a bit too heavy.

He also believes that one should not casually discuss other people's privacy.

If it's really as they guessed, then N... is indeed quite pitiful.

After all, this also means that he is neither human nor Pokémon, but rather a freak who is not well accepted by either side.

N is destined to be lonely; he may never meet another person like him in his entire life.

The group walked in silence for a while.

Xiao Ju'er suddenly stopped and turned around to face the group.

"I'm so sorry about what happened today." Her tone was serious, completely different from the confident smile she had shown at the dojo earlier. "I was planning to treat you all to a good meal, but this happened, and you didn't even get to have a proper meal."

“It’s not your fault,” Yami said gently.
