I got the Pokémon

When we left the celebration meeting venue, it was already dusk outside.

The hungry group found a nearby restaurant and had a sumptuous dinner, both to congratulate Xiaoyao on her victory and to let Xiaoguang know about their traditional meal when meeting Xiayou.

Xiaoguang was very embarrassed at first, but when she saw that both Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were eating with a clear conscience, and it seemed that it was not the first or second time, she really felt relieved, and at the same time she truly understood the friendship between these people.

Well, at this point, Xiaoguang has truly integrated into the group.

Even though he had only been away from home for a few days, Xiaoguang had been sleeping in the open air with Xiaozhi during these days and had truly experienced the hardships of traveling. Even with Xiaogang as his chef, he still didn't enjoy the food as much as he did at home. Now, after eating this big meal, he could consider it a reward for his suffering stomach.

Several people ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was as lively and warm as ever.

Just at this moment, Xiaoguang suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Xia You.

"Mr. Xia You..." She hesitated and asked, "You are so knowledgeable, do you know which Pokémon is transparent?"

transparent?
Hearing this word, everyone stopped what they were doing and subconsciously looked at Xiaoguang.

Even Xia You raised his eyebrows and thought: "In fact, many Pokémon can become temporarily transparent through their own abilities, that is, invisible, but as for being transparent all the time, as far as I know... there shouldn't be any."

Xiao Guang nodded: "Is that so..."

Seeing her like this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong, Xiaoguang? Why do you suddenly ask this question?"

"Oh, that's it..."

Hikaru recounted the story of how, when he had just started his journey, he was chasing after a Pokémon that had escaped from Professor Yamanashi's laboratory, and he vaguely saw a Pokémon that seemed transparent in the mist at Lake Shinsei in the nearby forest.

Even though they had been traveling together for several days, it was the first time that Xiaozhi and Xiaogang knew that Xiaoguang had had such an experience before.

But because they had just arrived, they couldn't even recognize all the Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, so naturally they couldn't explain it clearly.

"It should be some water-type Pokémon, right?" Xiaozhi said as a matter of course, "After all, it's by the lake, maybe it encountered some rare water-type Pokémon."

Xiao Gang also nodded in agreement: "Didn't you just say there was heavy fog? It's very likely that the refraction and reflection of light gave you some illusion."

"Eh? Is that true?"

Although Xiaoguang also felt that what the two said made sense, he felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at Xia You again.

After thinking for a moment, Xia You also gave a different answer.

"I think the Pokémon you saw was Emrido."

"Imriti?" Xiaozhi tried to think, but he had no information about this Pokémon in his mind. "What kind of Pokémon is that? Is it a water Pokémon?"

Xia You smiled and shook his head: "Although Emrido lives in the lake, it is not a water-type Pokémon, but a psychic Pokémon."

Psychic Pokémon?

It's no wonder that he's invisible.

Satoshi and Brock suddenly realized what was going on, but didn't think there was anything wrong. Only Hikari, a native of Sinnoh, looked surprised after hearing the name.

Xiaoyao naturally noticed Xiaoguang's abnormality immediately and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this Pokémon?"

Hikaru nodded quickly, "Of course, Emrido is not just any ordinary Pokémon, it's a legendary Pokémon!"

"A legendary Pokémon!?"

Xiaozhi and Xiaogang looked at each other in bewilderment. To these two people, legendary Pokémon were certainly not rare. However, they felt that it was a bit too hasty to identify the Pokémon as Emrido based on its vague "invisibility".

"Could it really be this?" Xiaozhi also turned to look at Xia You, "Could we have made a mistake?"

Xia You laughed: "Maybe I could be wrong about other places, but since it is in Xinqi Lake, it is most likely this place!"

Xiao Yao was surprised and asked, "Is that place called Xinqi Lake very famous?"

Because everyone present was from the same family, Xia You did not intend to hide it from them, and said softly: "To ordinary people, it is just a peaceful lake in the forest. Occasionally, some people go there to fish, and it is nothing special. But in fact, there is an entrance to another world in the lake, and in that world, lives the God of the Lake!"

"God of the Lake?" Xiaozhi was a little confused. After all, he was just talking about Emrido. How come he was talking about the God of the Lake all of a sudden?

Seeing that Xiaozhi was a little confused, Xiaoguang explained: "In fact, the God of Hu is the collective name of the three legendary Pokémon in Sinnoh, namely, Uxie, Emrido and Akonome. They live in a mysterious lake. According to legend, it was Uxie who brought 'wisdom' to humans, Emrido taught humans 'emotions', and Akonome gave humans 'will', allowing humans to gain a colorful life and maintain the balance of the world!"

Xiaozhi suddenly realized: "I understand! In fact, it is the same as the legends in other regions, but the stories in each region are slightly different!"

Hearing Xiaoguang's introduction, Xia You also smiled slightly.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, human emotions, wisdom and will are innate and gradually enriched through experience. How could they be given or taught by other creatures?

Not to mention the huge number of humans, it is hard to say whether they could have passed it on. Even if they really could have passed this thing on to ancient humans in ancient times and ignited some kind of spark, they would have needed to cross the ocean, frequently travel back and forth between other continental plates, and pass it on to different races at the same time. How is this possible?
So, you should just listen to this kind of legend. If you really believe it, it only means that you are too naive!

After Xiaoguang explained all this to Xiaozhi, he was filled with questions.

How did Xia You, a non-Sinnoh person, know all this?
And why was he so sure that it would be Emrido?

After all, although everyone in the Sinnoh region knows the legend that Emrido is the God of the Lake, its hiding place has always been a mystery and has never been discovered. So how did Xia You determine that it was in Lake Xinqi?

Xiaoguang asked this question out of confusion.

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Xia You again. However, unlike Xiao Guang, although Xiao Zhi and the others also had curiosity in their eyes, this curiosity was not very strong.

She naturally didn't know that Xia You had demonstrated this ability to predict the future many times in the previous trips to Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. Therefore, for Xiaozhi and the others, it was nothing new because they had seen it so many times. Otherwise, why would they admire Xia You so much?
In response, Xia You just smiled slightly.

"Actually, Phoenix King and I are good brothers. It told me all this!"

Phoenix King!?
Hearing his words, Xiaoguang, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang looked at each other, only Xiaoyao was laughing secretly.

For Xiaoguang, she only knew that Ho-Oh seemed to be a legendary Pokémon from other regions, and that was all. She was surprised that Xia You could actually become friends with a legendary Pokémon. While feeling a little unbelievable, she naturally couldn't help but admire him more.

But for Xiaozhi and Xiaogang, how could they not tell that Xia You was talking nonsense?
And of course they had heard about the friction between Xia You and Feng Wang before, which could be described as mortal enemies.

Why now... he calls it his best brother?
……

After resting for a night at the Pokémon Center in Zhuqing City, the five of them said goodbye at the door early the next morning.

Next, Xia You and Xiao Zhi naturally had to challenge various gyms, but in order to avoid colliding with each other and to avoid having highly similar travel routes, the two of them each chose a direction.

Just like in the anime, Xiaozhi has to go to the nearest Kurokin City in the east to challenge the Kurokin Gym there, while Xia You has to go all the way north to the relatively far away EMI City to challenge the EMI Gym.

As for why Xia You chose to go to Baidai City when there was obviously a closer Shuimai City in the west, all we can say is that he naturally had his own plans in his heart.

After Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang added their contact information, the two sides waved again and then headed towards two different paths.

However, they had not walked far, even before leaving the city, Xia You suddenly took out a small box the size of a palm from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoyao.

Looking at the exquisite packaging on the box, Xiaoyao looked at him in surprise.

"what is this?"

Xia You smiled and said, "A gift for you."

"Gift?" Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with surprise, "Why do you want to give me something out of the blue?"

However, despite saying this, she couldn't control the smile on her face. She took the gift and tore open the packaging.

In the next second, the true appearance of the gift appeared in front of Xiaoyao.

It turned out to be a pink Pokéwatch!
In fact, this so-called Pokéwatch is an electronic watch produced by a local watch-making company in Zhuqing City.

Because of its good-looking appearance and complete functions, it has been loved by the majority of trainers since its release. No, it should be said that not only trainers, but also young people and children in the entire Sinnoh region like it very much. Therefore, it can also be said that it has become a trend in the Sinnoh region!
It has even reached the point where it is hard to find a watch!

Therefore, anyone who doesn't have a Pokéwatch is out of fashion!

Seeing Xiaoyao's surprise and joy in her eyes, Xia You smiled and said, "I saw Xiaoguang wearing a red one before, so I thought of giving you one too. Speaking of which, I've never given you a gift before, so just consider it as a reward for winning this time, and a thank you for your company during this time."

Xiaoyao was so happy that she couldn't express it in words.

She thanked him sweetly, then put the Pokémon on her wrist, looking left and right, feeling very happy.

After leaving the city, the two walked north along the wide road.

As mentioned before, compared to Heijin City and Shuimai City, Baidai City is the farthest away from Zhuqing City, and it even has to pass through many places to get there.

But this is nothing to Xia You and Xiao Yao.

After all, they have plenty of time and are not in a hurry to do anything. Whether it is far or near, it is only a day or two's journey and there is no difference.

It is also a good opportunity for them to fight with the trainers they meet while traveling and train their own Pokémon.

I have to say, since we just left Jubilee City not long ago, there are the most trainers here. Almost every time you walk a certain distance, you can see one or two trainers, either on their way or capturing Pokémon nearby.

However, those newbies with relatively weaker strength could no longer meet the training needs of Frog and Riolu at this time, so Xia You only chose those who were older to fight, and even played a few doubles games in pursuit of difficulty and cooperation.

As they walked and stopped, passing through forests and rugged mountain roads, they were getting farther and farther away from Zhuqing City, and finally arrived at a small town called Huayuan Town in the evening.

This small town is located between Zhuqing City and Baidai City. It is famous for its abundant honey production and the ubiquitous fragrant flowers. It can be said that when you walk here, you are only half the distance to Baidai City.

It is said that Huayuan Town was originally a barren land. People once tried to plant flowers to restore the vitality here, but no vegetation grew. Later, someone prayed and thanked the gift of nature, and the whole hill suddenly bloomed with flowers of different colors. Thus, a village was formed and slowly prospered.

Therefore, this place is also known as the town where flowers bloom.

The vast sea of ​​flowers made the two stop for a long time. They were both attracted by this beautiful sea of ​​flowers. After admiring it for a while, they entered the town.

And just like the name suggests, the whole city is dotted with flowers.

Whether it is the roadside flower beds or the rooftops of buildings, they are all planted with various kinds of flowers.

Speaking of which, as the midpoint between the two cities, the town is not big but very prosperous. The not-so-wide streets are crowded with various shops on both sides, especially a flower shop full of fresh flowers, which made Xia You lose his mind for a while.

After all, when he saw flowers, he naturally thought of flower arrangement, and when he thought of flower arrangement, he naturally thought of...

Forget it. It’s lonely late at night, so I’d better not think too much.

It was at the Pokémon Center here, while checking in, that the two learned from Miss Joy that a grand convention would be held here soon.

But unfortunately, there are still five or six days until the event date, and it is impossible for the two to stay here for such a long time.

It seems that it was missed.

Fortunately, in addition to the grand meeting, there is a snack shop called "Baofen Making Classroom" here, which makes up for the slight loss in the hearts of the two. (End of this chapter)
