I got the Pokémon

Chapter 991 This is a big misunderstanding!

Let’s go back a few minutes in time.

After taking several breaks on the stairs and climbing so many flights of stairs, Zhulan finally arrived at the playback room.

This made her very tired.

Fortunately, she managed to persevere thanks to the physical strength she had developed from years of traveling.

But even though she was sweating, at least... she didn't look as miserable as Xiaozhi.

Before she could even catch her breath, she looked around.

Unfortunately, everything was normal here, and since it was her first time here, she couldn't see anything.

Fortunately, her purpose was not here. After walking to the platform outside, she looked up for a moment, found a support point in advance, and then climbed a few nimbly and arrived on the roof of the playback room.

I have to say that from here, the entire Baiyang Town is in full view and the scenery is truly unique.

Just because of the air flow and the lack of guardrails, people can't help but worry about safety issues, but Zhulan is brave and careful, so this little trouble is nothing in her eyes.

But just like below, this place is clean and there is not even a trace left.

This also made her feel a little discouraged.

After all, we've come all the way here, but still haven't found anything, not even the shadow of that man. It's really hard to accept.

hateful……

Where did it go?

Has he left this place?
Realizing that she seemed to be becoming a little irritated, Zhulan took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Well, not finding the masked man was exactly what I expected.

After all, a day had passed since the incident, so it was normal not to find any trace. In fact, she didn't hold much hope at first.

It's just that there are really no clues, so I came here to take a look as a last resort.

But then again...

Zhulan closed her eyes and took in the thought carefully.

Even though the battle is over, standing here, feeling the sky, feeling the town below, feeling the breath in the air, it seems that one can still vaguely feel the magnificence of that battle.

On the way here, she watched those videos over and over again. As a trainer, she subconsciously put herself into yesterday's battle.

If it were me, what would I do when faced with such a battle?

But I have to admit that when facing Dialga and Palkia, I really don't have any Pokémon that has the terrifying suppression ability like Mega Rayquaza, not to mention that there is also a Darkrai involved.

One versus Three...

Masked man...

Although you are indeed abominable, I have to admit that your Pokémon is really powerful!
Thinking of this, Zhulan couldn't help but open her eyes and took out the black raincoat.

This raincoat was the one that Xia You used to camouflage and wrap Suixing outside the Galaxy EMI building. Later, he threw it in front of Zhulan along with Suixing.

Zhulan carried it with her not for any special reason, but simply wanted to use it as a kind of "evidence" to confront Xia You when she saw him.

But at this moment, feeling the aftertaste of the battle, putting herself in Xia You's perspective, somehow, she ended up putting on the raincoat!
And just at this moment, she suddenly noticed that a battle was taking place in the Gaudi Park under the Tower of Time and Space.

Although the distance was far, her excellent eyesight allowed her to recognize at a glance that it was a black Pokémon being besieged by a group of trainers, and the battle... seemed to be quite intense!
When she looked carefully, she realized that the Pokémon that was attacked was actually a Darkrai!
and many more…

Darkrai!?
It goes without saying that the Darkrai that appeared in Baiyang Town must be the one that participated in the battle yesterday!
I didn't expect it to still be here!

Is this town its habitat?

Or is its trainer still here?
Just as she was surprised, she saw the Darkrai actually flying towards her direction, and in just a moment, it flew into the playback room below!
At the same time, in Gaudí's park, people also recognized the bamboo orchid after their initial surprise.

Although their faces cannot be seen clearly at this distance, they have mobile phones, cameras, and telescopes!
In front of the telescope, as long as they want, no matter who they are... obviously there is a way to see Zhulan on the Tower of Time and Space clearly.

And just when people saw Zhulan's face clearly and the familiar black raincoat she was wearing, the trainers couldn't help but exclaim!
The same outfit, just one less mask...

It turns out that the person wearing the Gengar mask is actually Takeran! !

She hasn't left yet!

Still in this town!!
And when he saw Darkrai flying right under Zhulan's feet, he was even more shocked.

It turns out that Darkrai was actually subdued by her!!
People were surprised by this discovery, but also felt that it should be the case.

After all, they were unwilling to accept that an unknown person had such a horrific fighting ability, but if it was Zhulan, then it would make sense.

As expected of the Sinnoh Champion...

Indeed, only she, who possesses such a Rayquaza, would not make people feel envious and jealous!
Indeed, only she has the ability to capture such a powerful Pokémon! !

Admittedly, although there are only about twenty trainers who have discovered this "truth", it is foreseeable that in the coming days, this news will spread from their mouths in a small range.

Let’s return our gaze to the Tower of Time and Space.

Zhulan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she found out that Darkrai had entered the Tower of Time and Space.

But she immediately realized that this should be its hiding place, and she might even meet its trainer!
And from what the trainer said, he must know the whereabouts of the masked man, right?

Thinking of this, she had an idea and quickly jumped off the roof and returned to the platform she had just been on.

However, just as she was about to enter the playback room again, a woman's voice came from inside.

"Are you...Miss Zhulan?"

Hearing the voice, Zhulan couldn't help but stop and looked up quickly, and saw a very beautiful woman walking up the stairs holding the handrail.

"…Who are you?"

Zhulan hesitated, she was sure that she had never seen this woman before!
The person who came was none other than Alice, who had just separated from Xia You and the others not long ago!
Alice looked at Zhulan, especially at her black raincoat for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "My name is Alice, and I'm responsible for helping the owner of this time and space tower manage this place."

It turns out that they are from this Tower of Time and Space...

Zhulan nodded. She didn't feel strange that the other party knew her. After all, with her fame, she was known to everyone in Sinnoh, and she had long been accustomed to it.

"What do you want to ask me?"

"Um..." Alice said with a smile, "I remember there should be a sign prohibiting entry below. Miss Zhulan, you..."

Oops!

Forget about it!
Zhulan's face froze, and she apologized, "I'm sorry, I came here to look for someone, so I barged in without asking for permission..."

At this point, she seemed to remember something and asked Alice, "Since you are from this Space-Time Tower, I wonder if you have seen the man wearing the Gengar mask?"

A man wearing a Gengar mask?
Hearing this, Alice's gaze subconsciously turned to Zhulan's raincoat again.

Following her gaze, Zhulan realized that she had not taken off her raincoat yet, and she couldn't help feeling helpless.

"You misunderstood." She smiled awkwardly, quickly took off her raincoat, and explained, "Although this is indeed the raincoat of the masked man, I got it by chance. I just arrived in Baiyang Town today. As for why I put it on..."

Zhulan thought for a long time but didn't feel comfortable speaking.

Do I have to explain to others that I put on this raincoat just to imitate the masked man?
If I really tell this to others, what will this woman in front of me think?
Do you think you have some special fetish?
Or an imitator of the masked man?
She doesn't want people to have such misunderstanding!

Fortunately, the woman in front of her named Alice, although a little surprised, did not say much, which made her feel a little relieved.

"So that's how it is." Alice nodded as if she suddenly understood, and then smiled, "Come to think of it... During this day, many people did come to look for the man wearing the Gengar mask. It shows that yesterday's battle did cause a sensation. Even Miss Zhulan was alarmed. But... why did you say it was a man just now?"

Just one sentence revealed that this woman might not know much.

But despite this, Zhulan still patiently explained: "Because I have dealt with him up close before and confirmed his gender. Not only that, I also know that he is a tall black-haired man, and he won't be too old!"

So that’s it!
"I didn't expect Miss Zhulan had met him before. By the way, where was the last time Miss Zhulan dealt with him?"

Zhulan didn't hide anything and blurted out, "Just a few days ago, in Baidai City."

some days ago?
EMI City?
When Alice heard this, she seemed to remember something and her eyes flickered slightly, but two seconds later, a smile appeared on her face again, and everything seemed normal.

But how sharp is Zhulan's mind?
Just one glance and you can see her expression clearly!

This woman should know something!
She realized this instantly, but she still pretended to ask casually: "Why? Do you happen to know some clues?"

"That's right." Alice smiled, "Although I'm not sure, but I heard that... Baidai City just finished a grand convention a few days ago, and today, Baiyang Town also happened to have just finished a grand convention, so..."

Upon hearing this, Zhulan's eyes lit up!
Yes, this is indeed a detail that I overlooked!!
If only one place hosted the grand conference, it might be a coincidence, but if two places hosted it one after another, it is definitely not a coincidence!
It can’t be such a coincidence!

"You mean... he's a coordination trainer!?" "Who knows." Alice smiled and shook her head, "But I think even if he's not a coordination trainer, he should be a fan of watching the game."

"You're right!" Zhu Lan nodded, "It's indeed very possible!"

Having said that, she was already thinking about where the nearest town where the grand convention was held was.

Is it Black Gold City? Or the other side of Tianguan Mountain?
Choose one of the two...

It's really hard to decide. If I guess wrong, then...

Zhulan was a little undecided, but no matter what, if she could get to the next city first, maybe she could really block the man there!
Just thinking about this, Zhulan was already getting impatient.

She did as she said, said goodbye to Alice, and hurried towards the stairs.

But after just a few steps, she stopped and looked back at Alice.

"By the way, are you the trainer of that Darkrai?"

"Darkrai?" Alice was stunned at first, not knowing why Zhulan suddenly mentioned this. She shook her head and said, "No, that Darkrai was not subdued by anyone."

From Alice's expression, Zhulan didn't feel that she was lying.

In this case……

It seems that it was just a coincidence that Darkrai flew here.

But...why haven't I seen any trace of it yet?
"Did you see Darkrai flying here just now?"

“Sorry, I didn’t see it.” Alice’s expression remained unchanged, still smiling, “I just came up, but…Darkrai is now the patron saint of our Poplar Town, so it’s not surprising that it appears anywhere.”

"I see." Zhulan couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that I thought too much. I have to say that with such a Darkrai guarding this city, it will be safe and secure in the future."

At the same time, Zhulan added in her heart: Of course, troubles will not stop...

Nodding to Alice again, she walked down the stairs with big strides and great determination.

Looking at her back, the smile on Alice's face slowly faded.

In fact, just now, she had already guessed who the masked man Zhulan was talking about.

EMI City, Gorgeous Conference...

A tall man with dark hair...

Not too old...

Being able to deal with Zhulan and get away with it...

Putting this information together with the topics discussed by Xia You and his group when he was having dinner with them the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today, it is actually not difficult to guess that the man wearing a Gengar mask should be Mr. Xia You.

After all, whether it was Xiaozhi, Xiaoguang, Xiaoyao, or Xiaogang, they all admired Xia You so much. Even though Xia You had never shown his strength in front of her, Alice didn't believe that he would be a mediocre person.

Plus, he was the only one missing from yesterday's battle...

She is now 99% sure that it is Xia You!

But even though she guessed it, she still didn't tell Zhulan the truth.

after all……

Bamboo Ran didn't protect this town from Palkia and Dialga.

Of course, I didn't lie to her.

After all, Mr. Xia You is indeed related to the Grand Convention...

After all, Xiaoyao is a contestant in a gorgeous contest, and as her companion, how could I say it doesn’t matter?
As for whether Zhulan will find Mr. Xia You through these clues.

It all depends on the luck of Mr. Xia You and Miss Zhu Lan.

One is the Sinnoh Champion, and the other is a trainer with such powerful Pokémon.

I don’t know how the relationship between them will develop and what kind of sparks will be created.

It’s really interesting to think about it!
……

After parting with Xiaozhi and the others and leaving Baiyang Town, Xia You and the other two headed eastward towards Tianguan Mountain and soon left the area of ​​Baiyang Town.

It was already afternoon and there was not much time left during the day. In order to find a suitable camping site before dark, they had no choice but to quicken their pace.

Following the river, in just over half an hour, they left the plateau and entered the mountains again.

Here, we are already at the foot of Tianguan Mountain!
While on the way, Xia You briefly told Xiaoyao and Yami about yesterday's battle and the fact that Darkrai was tamed by him.

This surprised the two women, but they couldn't help but feel happy for Xia You.

"Brother Xia You, you didn't see what Xiaozhi looked like yesterday..." Xiaoyao covered his mouth and laughed, "He kept shouting that he wanted to fight with you, but you ignored him and left. His expression at that time was really wonderful. Even after going downstairs, he even said that the next time he saw you, he would let you see how powerful he is!"

Hearing her say this, even though Xia You didn't see it, she could still imagine what happened at that time, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.

"That guy Xiaozhi thought that as long as he proposed it, it would be natural for others to fight him. I just let him see the cruelty of society."

Yami couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that you really were worried about that child. But then again, Mr. Xia You, your outfit was really cool at that time, especially when you rode away on the Rayquaza at the end, you looked very handsome."

Finally someone who understands my taste!

Yami, you are a very good woman!

Xia You was in a good mood. He looked at Ya Mi and waved his hand, "Since we are already companions, please don't call me Mr. Xia You or Mr. Xia You. It's too distant. Just call me by my name from now on."

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

This also made Xia You feel a little strange.

Who would contact me?

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a video call from Dr. Sakuragi!

Ok?
Curious about why Dr. Sakuragi would contact him at this time, he also pressed the answer button.

When the picture flashed on the screen, Dr. Sakuragi appeared in the video.

After seeing Xia You, he didn't say too much politely and went straight to the point.

"Xia You, do you remember what I told you before, that I had handed over all the information you mailed to Dr. Mulan?"

"Of course I remember." Xia You nodded, "Didn't we just talk about this a few days ago? What's wrong?"

After a light cough, Dr. Sakuragi said, "Dr. Mulan has just received the information and wanted to express her gratitude for your transfer. However, she knows that you are not from this circle, and there is also an age gap between us, so she entrusted her granddaughter, Miss Sonia, to convey it on her behalf."

At this point, Dr. Sakuragi leaned his head closer to the screen and whispered, "Actually, I turned her down for you. After all, she's a very strict woman, most people can't stand it. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to talk to each other, so I said you weren't available to answer the phone. Unexpectedly, she sent her granddaughter and said, 'If you accept such a gift, you must thank her in person no matter what you say.' I couldn't refuse, so I had to contact you."

So this is ah……

"It doesn't matter." Xia You shook her head. "In fact, I'm also good at dealing with elders. No matter what they say, I just have to keep nodding and agreeing."

"So you have this way of dealing with things." Dr. Sakuragi couldn't help but smile. "Then I'm relieved. By the way, Miss Sonia is still waiting over there. I'll connect you now. Oh, and Miss Sonia seems to be about the same age as you, only four or five years older. Although she is Dr. Mulan's granddaughter, she is also her assistant and a researcher. You are both young people, so you should communicate well with each other."

"I understand." Xia You nodded with a smile, "Don't you know me? I'm absolutely reliable and will not bring shame to Sakuragi Research Institute!"

In fact, no matter what kind of achievements Xia You has made outside, they were all obtained as a trainer, but in the academic world, as a special investigator of the Sakuragi Research Institute, he has long been marked with the mark of the Sakuragi Research Institute, so in the eyes of his colleagues, Xia You is a member of the Sakuragi Research Institute!

Therefore, no matter whether Xia You performs well or badly, it will directly affect the reputation and image of Sakuragi Research Institute.

But when Dr. Sakuragi answered the phone, he wasn't trying to remind Xia You what to do. He just wanted to inform him about it.

"Of course I know your character, and this is just a small matter after all. I believe you can handle it. Okay, I'm going to help you connect now."

As soon as Dr. Sakuragi finished speaking, his avatar disappeared, but the call was not interrupted. Just a few seconds later, as the screen flashed again, another strange young woman appeared in the video.

This woman is not only young, but also very beautiful.

She looked to be in her twenties, with long shiny orange hair that she had combed into a single ponytail and combed to the left side. She had delicate facial features and wore light makeup, especially her pair of equally shiny emerald green eyes, which were really beautiful!

Looking down, although she was wearing a white research coat on the outside, she had a V-neck green deer navel short shirt underneath. She looked calm like a researcher, but also had an unconcealable youthful vitality!

Just as Xia You was looking at this woman, the woman on the other end was also looking at Xia You.

Maybe she didn't know that Xia You was a young and handsome peer, so when the video was connected, she was stunned at first, and then she came to her senses.

"Hello." She smiled and said cheerfully, "I'm Sonia, Dr. Mulan's assistant. Nice to meet you!"
