I got the Pokémon

Chapter 1005: Mikoli Cup and Meeting Hinata Again

"Thank you so much!!"

After the magic show ended, the beautiful magician deliberately kept Xia You and expressed her gratitude in person.

In fact, she didn't need to explain anything. Xiaoyao and Yami, who had just walked up to Xia You, also understood what was going on.

It's just that Xia You helped.

But I didn’t expect that after a street performance, this beautiful magician who looked quite professional on the surface would have so many accidents at the same time!

This is really not right...

"Nothing." Xia You shook her head and said softly, "Don't worry about it, it's just a piece of cake."

"Although it's a small thing for you, for me, it saved me from my mistake." Although Xia You said so, the beautiful magician was not the kind of person who didn't know how to be grateful. She bowed again and said, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Jinghui, and I'm a Pokémon magician."

They have heard of the magician.

But this was the first time they had heard of a Pokémon magician.

But it goes without saying that this so-called Pokémon magician is nothing more than connecting Pokémon and magic together, which is nothing big.

Out of politeness, Xiaoyao and Yami also introduced their names at this time, and seeing Jinghui looking at them again, Xia You had no choice but to nod to her: "I am Xia You."

In fact, it was just a chance encounter. I thought we would part ways there, but I didn't expect that we would actually have intersections.

I can only say that the journey is full of surprises!

At Jinghui's insistence, several people went to a nearby coffee shop, where Jinghui treated them and they had a cup of coffee and some desserts.

It was through chatting that we got to know each other a little better.

It turns out that this woman named Jinghui had just become a magician not long ago and was currently traveling around to hone her skills. This could be seen from the fact that her Pokémon were not very obedient and the mechanisms were malfunctioning.

In fact, in the performance just now, there was a remote control mechanism in the hat given to Xia You. As long as Jinghui pressed the controller on the short stick, the mechanism in the hat would open the Poké Ball hidden inside and release a Pidgeot.

But obviously, there was something wrong with the connection between the remote control and the mechanism, which forced Xia You to save the situation himself.

As for the bell that escaped first, let alone, it has never been obedient since Jinghui tamed it!
So much so that when talking about it, Jinghui could not help sighing.

But speaking of Pokémon...

Jinghui glanced at Gengar who was licking ice cream on the side.

"Mr. Xia You, why did your Gengar come out from the shadows? And it clearly didn't get any orders from you, so how did it know to cooperate with your performance?"

This is also the question that Jinghui has always kept in her heart.

"What's so strange about this? This is the tacit understanding between Pokémon and their trainers!" The one who answered her was not Xia You, but Gengar himself. He grinned and said to Jinghui, "I've been staying in the shadows, so I don't need any Poké Balls at all. I can come out whenever I want!"

"You...you can speak!?"

Jinghui was extremely surprised to see that the Gengar in front of her could actually speak human language.

It seems that in all her travels, she has never come across a Pokémon that can speak human language!

"Ah, you are really young. You are shocked when you meet a talking Pokémon? You are really short-sighted!" Gengar pouted, but when it came to this, it remembered something and said, "Hey, the performance just now was pretty good, right? It's much better than a Pidgeot flying out of your hat! If you still want to cause people to exclaim like that, you might as well find a ghost-type Pokémon!"

It’s true, this proposal really moved Jinghui.

Compared to common magic shows, some novel performances can break people’s conventional impressions and will definitely be more popular!
"Ghost Pokémon..." She thought for a moment and knew that they were trainers, so she asked, "Then where should I look for it?"

"Where to look for it?" Xiaoyao thought without hesitation, "Of course it should be in a cemetery, a haunted house, or a dark forest."

"This……"

Jinghui was a little hesitant. After all, she was just a magician, not a Pokémon trainer, and she wasn't very brave. If she went to such a dangerous place...

At this time, Yami seemed to see her concerns and suggested: "Since you want to capture ghost Pokémon, why not go to Random Town and have a look."

"Suiyi Town?" Jinghui turned to look at her, "Is there a haunted house there too?"

“It’s not really a haunted house.” Yami smiled. “There’s a Lost Tower in Random Town, where countless Pokémon are buried. That’s why there are many ghost-type Pokémon. If you go there and look carefully, you’ll definitely find something!”

Jinghui's eyes moved slightly.

It sounds like this Lost Tower is a good choice compared to the cemetery and the haunted house!

It seems... I need to change my destination a little bit.

……

Meeting the magician Jinghui was just a small episode for Xia You and his friends.

Although they had only met for a short time, they had to admit that this beautiful magician left a deep impression on them.

After bidding her farewell, the three of them continued their journey south and soon left the town.

After walking for another whole day, just after breakfast the next day, they saw a beautiful lake in the distance.

This is an extremely large lake!

In fact, it was not on their route. They just happened to come down the hillside and saw the mirror-like calm water in the distance. Under the sunlight, the ripples appeared, and they unconsciously set their way point at the lake.

After all, being able to appreciate the lake view up close and play with water during the trip can be considered a kind of mood spice.

After looking at the map, they realized that they had arrived at Lizhi Lake without realizing it!
Speaking of Lizhi Lake, people in the Sinnoh region may not have been here, but they have definitely heard of its name.

As we all know, in this lake lives one of the three lake gods - Akonum!
Just a few days ago, Xia You and his friends saw one corner of the triangle at the Shenhe Town Museum!
Of course, legends are just legends after all.

For such a long time, there has been an endless stream of trainers coming here every day to look for this legendary Pokémon, and everyone thinks that he is a child of destiny, so they want to try their luck, but unfortunately, until now, the legend is still just a legend, and no one has ever seen the shadow of Akonome.

This place is so huge!
The lake is also quite deep, and the surrounding terrain is complex, so looking for a Pokémon here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

There are even rumors that Akonom has actually left here a long time ago.

But no matter what, even after so many years, there is still no way to change the status of Lizhi Lake as one of the three major lakes in people’s hearts!

But when the three of them got closer, they originally thought it was just a simple wild lake, but they didn't expect to see modern buildings here!

As far as the eye can see, there are many white buildings standing on a peninsula by the lake. There are hundreds of houses, tightly gathered together, like a small city, or it would be more appropriate to describe it as a resort.

Xiaoyao rubbed his eyes: "This place is so remote, why are there so many buildings...?"

"It should be various tourist resort hotels."

Xia You didn't feel too surprised and answered her casually. After all, Lizhi Lake was such a big gimmick and the scenery was so beautiful. How could those investors remain indifferent?
It goes without saying that they did not miss out on such a huge cake. They took a fancy to the huge flow of people, so they have the current development.

There is even a small pier on the river bank, and at the pier, a passenger ship is parked there quietly!
If it were any other inland lake, how could it receive such treatment?

Walking towards the small city, Xia You's attention was focused on a large stadium by the water.

From the appearance alone, it is not difficult to tell that this should be a large venue for some kind of event. As for why it was built here...

Suddenly, he remembered something. It turned out that it was already this time...

And just as he thought, when they entered the resort and saw so many trainers on the street, Xiaoyao and Mei were surprised again.

"Are these people... all here to look for Akonom?"

"Of course not."

Xia You raised his hand and pointed at the billboard next to him. When Xiaoyao and Yami looked in the direction he pointed, they finally knew the reason.

"The Mikoli Cup!?" After seeing the words and patterns on it clearly, Xiaoyao couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "Is this... a gorgeous competition!?"

In fact, Xiaoyao has participated in many glamour contests, so an ordinary glamour contest would naturally not surprise her so much. But why does this Mikoli Cup sound... so familiar?
She hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Brother Xia You, this Mikoli, could he be the gym leader and champion of Hoenn?"

"Yes, that's him." Xia You nodded, and seeing that Mei Mi was puzzled, he explained, "Mikoli was originally the owner of the Liuli Gym in the Hoenn region. He is also a top coordination trainer and a Pokémon champion. It can be said that he has extremely high talent and achievements in combat and performance. He is also called the Prince of Water by fans."

"How amazing." Yami was a little surprised. "This is the first time I know of someone who can stand at the top of both tracks! So, this Mikoli Cup is named after him?"

"No." Xia You smiled, "It should be said that this Mikoli Cup was hosted by him!"

"He held it?" Xiaoyao and Yami were a little surprised. "In a place like this?"

Xia You shrugged, and said meaningfully: "In fact, once you reach his level, some things will be easy as long as you want to do them. And it's not just that. Don't underestimate the Mikoli Cup. It is not just fixed here, but will be held all over the world. The water column medal produced is recognized by the Grand Celebration Council and can even be used in any large-scale grand celebration in any region to replace other medals. It can be said that it is extremely valuable!"

"Is it so amazing?" Xiaoyao was a little surprised, then she remembered something and asked, "Brother Xia You, if you don't travel anymore in the future, with all the achievements you have made, can you do the same?"

"Who knows?" Xia You shook his head, "That's all for the future."

Now that she has encountered the Mikoli Cup this time, Xiaoyao will obviously not miss it no matter what the reason is.

However, after a few people inquired, they found out that although the Mikoli Cup was about to start, it would not be held until the morning of five days later.

"Five days?"

The three of them got together again, took out the map and discussed it.

Xia You gestured the route and said, "From the map, it doesn't take more than four days to get from here to Binhai City. If we don't delay, we can definitely come back to participate in the Mikoli Cup after challenging the Binhai Gym."

"Isn't the time a bit tight?" Yami asked worriedly, "What if something happens? Wouldn't we miss the conference?"

At this point, she turned to look at Xiaoyao and suggested, "I think it would be better if you stay here. This way, no matter what happens, you can attend on time. Besides, don't you need to prepare for such an important competition?"

"It's okay." Xiaoyao just shook his head after hearing her suggestion. "I'm fine. After all, it's really too long for me to wait here by myself for five days, so let me go with you."

"Then let's go together." Seeing Xiaoyao's insistence, Xia You didn't say anything and said indifferently, "I'll let Gardevoir mark this place first. If there is any delay in the middle, we can use teleportation to rush over!"

It has to be said that this is a powerful Pokémon with psychic attributes that brings them a sense of security.

For Gardevoir, it is not difficult to use instant teleportation to take a few people from this city to another city not too far away.

After the few of them had discussed it, they didn't waste any time and went straight to the venue. They helped Xiaoyao register in advance to avoid being overwhelmed when the time came, and then they headed east, leaving the resort and heading straight for Binhai City.

However, as there was still plenty of time, even though they were in a hurry, they were not too anxious. Instead, they just walked and stopped at their usual pace, and did not disrupt their previous rhythm just to participate in the Mikoli Cup.

Even when they reached a forest, Xia You still found time and used only three minutes to easily defeat a confident novice trainer with Flame!
"Damn it!!"

The defeated little boy ran away with tears in his eyes.

And seeing how Xia You treated a newcomer without mercy and even "killed" him, Xiaoyao and Yami shook their heads in amusement.

"Brother Xia You, don't you know how to show some mercy?" Xiao Yao said with a snicker, "Didn't you see that the trainer was traumatized just now? I'm afraid he has never lost so easily before!"

Taking the little flame monkey back, Xia You spread his hands and said, "Don't blame me. He challenged me. Since he initiated the battle, he must be prepared to lose. I am also helping him realize that in this world, not everyone revolves around newcomers."

"Eh?" Xiaoyao raised her eyebrows. "I always feel like you are hinting at someone?"

"You think too much." Xia You laughed, "I'm not talking about Xiaozhi."

"You admitted it!!"

Just as a few people were chatting and laughing, there was a noise suddenly coming from the woods nearby.

At first they thought it was some wild Pokémon, but the next second, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old jumped out from behind the bushes.

The boy was very strong, with a gleam of confidence in his eyes. He looked like someone who spent a lot of time outdoors.

He was wearing a familiar red half-jacket, with black clothes underneath and a pair of black shorts. On his right arm, he was wearing a hunting cursor!
Not only Xia You noticed it, but Xiao Yao was also a little surprised.

"This outfit... is for a Pokémon Ranger?"

"Oh?" The young man looked at Xiaoyao, "You know us?"

Xiaoyao was about to speak when she saw the bushes behind the boy shaking again. Then, a girl with blue hair and the same attire jumped out from there.

"Ms. Hinata!?"

When the girl heard someone calling her name, she looked up and saw Xiaoyao and Xia You. She was very surprised.

"Ms. Xiaoyao? Mr. Xia You? Why are you here!?"

That’s right, the person who appeared in front of Xia You and Xiao Yao was the ranger Hinata whom they had dealt with in Kanto before!

To be honest, although Hinata mentioned that she would also come to Sinnoh when we parted last time, I didn't expect to meet here. It was really too coincidental.

Seeing several people looking at each other, it was the young man's turn to be surprised.

His eyes wandered over the people, then looked at Hinata: "Why? Do you know each other?"

"Of course!" Hinata looked at Xia You with excitement in his eyes, and then introduced to the boy beside him, "This is Mr. Xia You, a very remarkable person! Not only is he an international police special investigator, but he also holds the championship of the three regional tournaments in Kanto, Chengdu and Hoenn!"

"Are you the man named Xia You?!" Perhaps because he had heard Hinata mention him before, he couldn't help but flash with excitement when he heard that the man in front of him was actually Xia You. "That's great, I finally meet this man. After hearing about your deeds before, I've always wanted to fight with you!"

Xia You looked at Hinata in confusion.

Hinata was also embarrassed, and quickly explained: "This is Souichi, our chief ranger. I told him too much about you before, so he always wanted to compete with you..."

After hearing this, Xia You already understood.

It turns out that he is a strong ranger!

In fact, the so-called chief ranger is also known as the elite guardian.

It refers to those people whose strength and ability are second to none in the Ranger Alliance. It can be said that they are the top combat force in the entire Ranger Alliance!

Unlike general regional rangers like Hyuga, chief rangers can use more advanced cursors, receive more difficult and dangerous tasks, and have enough judgment to make their own decisions, almost independently.

In the entire ranger alliance, there are only a dozen chief rangers. The boy named Chuangyi in front of him can become one of them at such a young age, which shows that he is really amazing!

As for why he wanted to compete with me?
I think he also wanted to personally see whether his champion was worthy of the title.

Haha, it’s really full of vitality!
