I got the Pokémon

Chapter 988 What’s the difference!?

It only took a minute or two from the time Darkrai escaped to the time it fell back to its original position.

It's not that it's not powerful, but after the previous battles, it was repeatedly ravaged and bombarded by Palkia, Dialga, and Rayquaza, and there was no Miss Joy to heal it. It has only recovered for a few hours now, and it still has the strength to escape. It can be said that its willpower is extremely strong!

From this we can see that those trainers who were looking for Darkrai everywhere had a good grasp of the timing. This was indeed the time when Darkrai was the weakest. If they really found it, maybe it would really be captured by someone!

But then again, Darkrai is not stupid. If Xia You and Gengar hadn't been standing right next to its hiding place and pointed out its hiding spot, it would definitely not have shown up on its own initiative.

If it were any other trainer, without any special Pokémon, they would not be able to find it even if they walked under this big tree dozens of times!

"Hey, we meet again." Xia You took a few steps forward and looked down at it. "Why do you have to do this? I know you don't want to be tamed, and you don't want to leave this town, but I want to tell you that you are not important to me. Look, whether it's my Charizard, Rayquaza, or this Gengar beside me, which one is not a special existence? The reason why I did this and wasted so much time talking about it is that I don't want other trainers to get something for nothing."

Darkrai was lying on the ground, too weak to even speak. He just looked at the man with half-opened eyes.

But I don’t know if it understood what Xia You said, but at this moment, it finally stopped struggling.

Regardless of whether this man is lying or not, putting aside other things, the strength of his Pokémon alone is enough to make him qualified to capture me.

Even if everything he said was false, such a capable man is indeed worth following!

Seeing that it looked like it had accepted its fate, Xia You couldn't help but smile.

"Very good, it seems you really understood this time."

As he said that, he glanced at Gengar, and Gengar immediately understood, picked up the Poké Ball on the ground, and pressed it against Darkrai!
The next second, a red light flashed out from the Poké Ball, enveloped Darkrai, and collected him in the ball!

If someone saw this scene, they might exclaim in surprise.

What will they see?
You will see a Pokémon capturing another Pokémon!

If this gets out, people will think that this Gengar has become a spirit!
Well, it has indeed become a spirit. After all, it has lived for more than two thousand years and is already an old monster.

As for why he let Geng Gui do it instead of doing it himself...

It’s not that he looks down on Darkrai, it’s just that Xia You is too cautious!
You know, Darkrai is also good at using the Dark Hole.

If you're too close and get hit like that, you'll definitely be in big trouble!
This is also Darkrai's only chance to turn the tables, and how can Xia You, who knows this well, not be on guard?
From this we can see that not only his fighting style, but also his actions are so rigorous!
There is no way, since both parties don’t trust each other that much, not to mention that this is a nightmare god.

Fortunately, Darkrai did not do that.

After being put into the Poké Ball, the Poké Ball shook slightly a few times, but within two or three seconds, as the switch was locked, the entire ball became completely quiet.

“It’s easier than I thought.”

Gengar grinned and handed the Poké Ball to Xia You.

After taking the Poké Ball, Xia You directly pressed the switch on it and released Darkrai again.

"How does it feel to be in the Poké Ball?" Xia You said to it with a slight smile, "Don't worry, even though you are put into the ball by me, as I just said, I will not restrict your movements. Okay, now follow me."

After saying that, Xia You no longer cared about Darkrai, but looked at Charizard. Charizard immediately understood, came to his side and leaned down, allowing Xia You to climb onto his back.

With a light tap of his feet, the Charizard flapped its wings and flew high into the Tower of Time and Space not far away.

Gengar smiled at Darkrai and followed him.

Looking at Xia You's back, Darkrai hesitated for a long time, as if he wanted to see what this man was doing. So when his strength recovered a little, he forced himself to fly towards the Tower of Time and Space.

In the night, the shadows of several Pokémon flashed in the air.

The seemingly tall Tower of Space and Time appeared in front of Xia You in just a short moment at the speed of Charizard. After arriving at the platform outside the playback room, Xia You turned over and jumped down and walked into the playback room.

Since it was already night, there was no possibility that anyone would be in the broadcasting room, which was not normally allowed for ordinary people to enter. Even the bird Pokémon that used this place as their nests, when they saw Xia You coming in, they looked at him with half-open eyes, with strange reflections flashing in their eyes.

Even if Xia You took out a flashlight and shone it over, these bird Pokémon simply lowered their heads to avoid the light and did not fly around in a panic.

It seems that they are indeed used to getting along with humans...

Just over ten seconds later, Darkrai finally arrived.

Xia You still ignored it and just pointed the flashlight at the pointed ceiling, looking around for something. Until the flashlight beam stopped at the highest point, he threw the Poké Ball that he had just received from Darkrai to Gengar.

Gengar slowly floated up and came under the ceiling. As its palm was wrapped by the ghost power, the next second, the hand holding the Poké Ball actually passed through the ceiling and reached the thick ceiling!

When Gengar retracted his arm again, the Poké Ball had been left there!

It was at this moment that Xia You turned and looked at Darkrai.

"See? Your Poké Ball is right there. Unless the Space-Time Tower is destroyed, no one will ever find it. In this way, others will never find your Poké Ball. Even if they do, they won't know that it's yours."

Darkrai withdrew his gaze from the ceiling and looked at Xia You again, his tone full of doubt.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Isn't what I just said clear enough?" Xia You smiled, "Of course it's to prevent others from conquering you. My actions are like - others want to eat, but I overturn the pot! Even if someone is really strong and does defeat you, but when they throw the Poké Ball at the last moment and find that you can't be conquered, I'm sure their expression at that time will be very interesting, right?"

What a strong sense of bad taste...

It must be said that this approach did fundamentally resolve his fate of being conquered by humans, but...

"What's in it for you?" Darkrai couldn't help but ask.

"Benefits?" Xia You looked at it, "I think you don't understand. Although I won't take you away, you were captured by me with a Poké Ball after all, so... you are my Pokémon, and I have the right to own you, and this will never change!"

So that’s it!
After hearing Xia You's words, Darkrai's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally died.

Wasn't it that I was still being subdued by someone?
What's the difference?
It's nothing more than not restricting your movement and allowing yourself to continue staying here.

But now that things have come to this, it can only listen to whatever Xia You says.

"Oh, right." Xia You remembered something and said to Darkrai, "If the situation like that happens again in the daytime, or if someone bullies you, remember to find me. Remember, my name is Xia You. Although I can't be there whenever you call, no matter how long it takes, I will definitely help you get back at your place!"

……

After resting for a night at the Pokémon Center and having breakfast the next day, Xia You and his group once again stepped into the Tower of Time and Space.

However, unlike before, this time the entire Tower of Time and Space was filled with a large number of spectators and coordination trainers who came from afar.

That’s right—the Baiyang Gorgeous Conference begins today!

After yesterday's events, the fame of Baiyang Town has spread throughout Sinnoh. Not to mention the residents of the small town, even after hearing that a grand conference was being held here, many people from nearby cities rushed here overnight.

They came to see the venue of yesterday's battle and experience the battlefield atmosphere that has not yet dissipated. They also came to watch this magnificent conference and feel the different shocks brought by the top venue!
Even Alice and Tonyo came to join in the fun.

Even from the way the two of them walked into the venue side by side, it was obvious that their relationship had gradually warmed up after yesterday's events.

And in the crowded crowd, Xia You and others cheered Xiaoyao and Xiaoguang on, and watched them enter the contestant channel.

“I don’t know who will win this tournament.”

Because the practice lasted until very late, Xiaozhi was still sleepy. He couldn't help but yawn and followed Xia You to their seats with the other companions.

In fact, at conferences like this, because there are so many participants, they are no longer as excited as they were at the beginning.

We waited for a while, and at nine o'clock, as the lights changed, the conference officially began.

The host, Bai'an, wearing a beige short skirt, walked onto the stage and first introduced the three unchanging referees and the rules of the competition. She then expressed her admiration for the magnificence of the venue and even praised the residents of Baiyang Town for their composure in yesterday's battle. Only then, in her impassioned voice, did she announce the real start of the competition.

In fact, everyone is familiar with this process, it is nothing more than a formality.

Because he had heard it so many times, Xia You just kept his head down while Bai'an was talking, sending messages to his women one by one, asking them if they had gotten up and had breakfast, and other warm greetings. He only focused his attention back on the stage after the first contestant of the first round of performance review came on stage.

Unexpectedly, the first contestant to perform was the red-haired female trainer who fought against Xiaozhi and his friends on the street the day before yesterday and yesterday!

The only difference from her outfit in the previous two days was that this time she changed into a yellow ninja outfit, which gave her a playful feeling while also making her look more capable.

"I didn't expect that she was also a coordinator trainer. I thought she was just a trainer..." Xia You was a little surprised, then frowned, "I remember her name was... her name was..."

Xiao Gang naturally remembered the beautiful woman's name, and blurted out: "Xiao Xin!"

Xia You nodded. In fact, he didn't know the woman's name at all. After all, he was not like Xiaozhi and the others who had really dealt with these people. He just mentioned it casually.

At this moment, on the stage, the female trainer named Xiao Xin had already started her performance.

Her performance partner was a Crow-Headed Pokémon, which was rarely seen at the Grand Convention. After all, its black shape made it look like a gang member with bad intentions, which gave people a somewhat ominous feeling and was not very popular with female audiences. However, it must be said that this Crow-Headed Pokémon performed very well. With the wonderful cooperation and performance of Xiao Xin, it won the applause of the whole audience and finally won a high score! "It looks like a tough opponent..."

Hearing Xia You's words, everyone around nodded in agreement.

After all, this is only the first contestant to perform on stage. The atmosphere hasn't even started yet, and a contestant of this strength has come on stage. One can imagine the pressure faced by those behind him.

Not only her, just after Xiao Xin left the stage and several other players came on stage, the other two players in the trio also came on stage!
Similarly, both of them changed their costumes and looked quite artistic. They performed very well and achieved high scores!
Seeing this, Xia You couldn't help but shook his head.

It was at this time that he also learned the names of the two male trainers, Katsumi and Taigo.

Originally, everyone thought it was just a battle of friendship between Xiaoguang and Xiaoyao, but they didn't expect there would be so many variables.

The Baiyang Conference is worthy of being called such a gorgeous venue, it is indeed different!
The most important thing is that these three people are still together!

Surprisingly, all three of them are coordination trainers, and their professions completely overlap. Such a traveling combination is quite rare.

They are both partners and competitors.

Before I had time to express my feelings, Xiaoguang appeared on the stage amid the cheers of the people.

Her outfit today was also very pink, with a pink long skirt, a pink bonnet, a pink belt, and pink shoes. The only thing that was not pink was a pair of white stockings, which made her look very dreamy.

But Xia You always felt that her outfit was actually a failure, like she was wearing pajamas...

And her first partner was her Pogaman.

Maybe she wanted to show off herself, or maybe she knew there were many strong enemies, so she sent this initial Pokémon into the game, hoping to get a higher score.

But as we all know, Xiaoguang's performance has never been her strong point. Even with Pogaman on stage, her travel time was still short and her experience was not very rich. In addition, the rehearsal time was only from yesterday afternoon to evening, so her and Pogaman's performance was not perfect. By the end of the performance, they only got an above-average score.

This is undoubtedly very dangerous, especially when the three people just now all performed very well.

It can be said that whether or not one can advance has nothing to do with her and it all depends on the performance of the rest of the people.

The better other contestants perform, the slimmer her hope of advancing becomes; conversely, the better her chances of advancing become.

This made Xiaozhi and the others very worried. Even Xiaoguang himself was so nervous that he couldn't speak after he came down from the stage and returned to the lounge.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao couldn't help but want to comfort her.

But before she could say anything, she heard a voice reminding her to go on stage.

There was nothing she could do, she could only give Xiaoguang an encouraging smile and walked into the contestant channel.

Different from Xiaoguang's bag which was full of gorgeous clothes, Xiaoyao's package did not carry that many clothes due to limited capacity, which allowed her to still dress casually when she went on stage.

But her ordinary appearance does not affect her and her Pokémon's performances!

In this performance segment, Xiaoyao sent out Snorlax as her partner, and what she showed was her best prop performance.

This is her forte and the performance style she performs most often during travels. Her stable performance and wonderful choreography naturally earned her thunderous applause after each performance.

Looking at the score obtained, as expected, he won the first place in the competition!

This made Xiaozhi and the others feel emotional, and they admired Xiaoyao for being so amazing. It also focused the attention of all the contestants on Xiaoyao.

Who can blame the strong for always attracting other people's attention? At that moment, Xiaoyao, with his outstanding performance, was listed as the number one opponent by these players.

Except Xiaoguang.

Xiaoguang was envious and yearning for his friend, whom he had only known for a short time, when he witnessed her performance, but he was not jealous.

She couldn't help but ask herself in her heart, why is it that Xiaoyao is so much better than me even though they are the same age?

Just as this thought came to her mind, Xia You's figure flashed through her mind again.

yes……

I already knew it before, it was all because of Mr. Xia You...

Then can I also...

Just as he was thinking this, Xiaoyao had already returned to the contestant hall, and as soon as he saw her, Xiaoguang quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and applauded.

"Xiaoyao, your performance is wonderful! All the audience are cheering for you!"

“No way…” Xiaoyao smiled embarrassedly, then remembered Xiaoguang’s disappointment just now, and said quickly, “Actually, you don’t have to be sad. After all, you have only been traveling for a short time. When you have traveled to two regions like me, you will definitely become more powerful than me!”

"Okay, stop comforting me. I'm not as fragile as you think." Xiao Guang smiled brightly, "I've returned to normal a long time ago, and you've already said this before!"

"Eh?" Xiaoyao was stunned, then stuck out her tongue, "Really? Sorry, I forgot."

While the two girls were chatting and laughing, the list of qualifiers was announced on the big screen.

Xiaoyao deservedly ranked first on the list, and the trio ranked second, third and fourth respectively!

As for Xiao Guang...

She got the eighth place and barely made the cut.

Seeing such a result, Xiaoguang naturally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed that it was a close call.

But no matter what, she did not fall in the first round, but successfully entered the second round of battle review.

In a conference of this scale and level, this is already a huge improvement compared to before!

In the stands, Xia You naturally didn't know what Xiaoguang was thinking.

But I couldn't help but feel lucky for her.

What is this and why?
Of course, it’s because Musashi did not participate in this conference!
If Musashi also comes to join in the fun, he might really be able to squeeze Xiaoguang out!
Fortunately, although the three members of Team Rocket also came to Baiyang Town this time, they did not show much, just like Xiaozhi. And I don’t know why Musashi was indifferent even though he was on such a dazzling stage.

Although it was not like Musashi's style, it was thanks to this that Xiaoguang was able to advance smoothly.

The eliminated trainers didn't have to be disappointed for too long. In just a moment, the grouping situation for the second round of battle review appeared on the big screen.

Come to think of it, today might really be Xiaoguang's lucky day.

She and Xiaoyao looked at the big screen at the same time, and then both breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be seen that the two of them were divided into different groups. If everything goes well, if they want to fight each other, they will have to wait until the final battle!

This also made the two of them smile at each other.

Not meeting each other earlier is already the best outcome for them!
Even Xiaozhi and his friends in the stands were very satisfied with this grouping.

"Great!" Xiaozhi waved his fist and said with a smile, "It seems that both of them can make it to the finals. I just don't know who will win in the end!"

Xiaogang touched his chin and analyzed for a while: "It should be Xiaoyao. Although Xiaoguang is also very powerful, Xiaoyao is better in terms of experience and Pokémon strength. But Xiaoguang is already very powerful to be able to enter the finals!"

Listening to the two people's beautiful fantasies about Xiaoguang's game, Xia You couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

These two guys think things are too simple...

Of course, it was almost certain that Xiaoyao would make it to the finals, but Xiaoguang...

Xia You looked again at the list of people in Xiaoguang's half of the area.

Except for Xiaoguang, two of the three coordination trainers are in the same group with Xiaoguang.

They are not so easy to deal with...

Especially, Xiaoguang’s first opponent was the tall man named Brother Tai among the three!
This person got a good result of fourth place in the performance review just now, and he is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

He also owns the final evolution of Pogona - King Nabo. No matter how you look at it, his strength on paper is stronger than Xiaoguang's.

Although the most powerful-looking blond man among the trio was assigned to Xiaoyao's half, Xiaoyao's situation was definitely much better than Xiaoguang's.

Therefore, in this competition, whether Xiaoguang can successfully enter the finals is really just an unknown.
