I got the Pokémon

Chapter 995 Zhulan: It must be him!
Yami seemed to be afraid that Xia You and Xiao Yao didn't know what this was, so she whispered in their ears: "The three Pokémon above are the Lake Gods, which is the collective name of the three legendary Pokémon, Uxie, Emrido, and Akonome."

But she didn't know that Xia You and Xiaoguang had already spread knowledge about these three Pokémon to Xiaoyao, Xiaozhi and the others, so Xiaoyao had already heard of these three Pokémon, but she had never seen the portraits of these three Pokémon, so she didn't have much impression of them.

But it’s not Yami’s fault for doing this, after all, she meant well.

Before Xia You and Xiao Yao could say anything, Jiazilan on the side glanced at Ya Mi first.

"You can tell them directly from this vague image. You know a lot, little girl."

Yami smiled at her in a friendly way: "I usually like to read some books and stories, so I recognized them at a glance."

"You are not from another area?"

"No." Yami shook her head, "I'm a native of Sinnoh."

"No wonder." Mustard Orchid said with a smile, "Then can you tell me what they represent?"

Yami thought for a moment and said, "As I remember... Yuki represents wisdom, Emrido represents emotion, and Akonom represents will."

Mustard orchid nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, according to the inscriptions on the stone tablet, after the God of Creation Arceus created and shaped the mythical Pokémon of the material world, he also created the Pokémon of the lake legend that shaped the spiritual world. They hatched from an egg and once flew around, allowing humans to gain the "wisdom" that makes life colorful, the "feelings" of sadness and happiness, and the "willpower" to make up their minds to do things well. Now they have been sleeping at the bottom of the lake, maintaining the balance of the world."

Looking at the stone tablet again, she said with emotion: "According to legend, the God of Knowledge, Uxie, has the ability to erase the memories of those who make eye contact with him, the God of Emotion, Emrido, has the ability to erase all emotions of creatures that come into contact with him, and the God of Will, Akonom, has the ability to immobilize creatures that hurt him."

"What does that golden sun in the middle mean?" Xiaoyao asked.

"According to our research, this golden sun should represent a diamond bead or a white jade bead."

"Vajra Bead?" Xiaoyao was stunned, then looked at Xia You, "Is it the one we saw in the Pathé Museum before?"

As soon as Xiaoyao opened her mouth, Xia You knew that something bad was going to happen.

After all, before this, Zhulan didn't know that they had also been to that museum. Now Xiaoyao told Jiezilan about this. Although the probability is very small, there is still a possibility that Zhulan will know about this in the future!
But Xiaoyao didn't know all these twists and turns, so she couldn't be blamed. But after hearing this, Xia You hurriedly tried to make up for it.

"Yes, it's the one we saw in the museum before, but it was a long time ago, right?"

As he spoke, he stared into Xiaoyao's eyes. Although he didn't make any eye contact, due to their long-standing tacit understanding, how could Xiaoyao not understand what this meant?

The moment her eyes met his, Xiaoyao realized there seemed to be some meaning in it. She was surprised at first, and although she didn't understand, she immediately kept silent.

It's not just her. Seeing the two of them looking like this, Yami didn't have any intention of joining in the conversation.

With Mustard Orchid's experience and age, how could she not notice the little actions of these three people?

Although she didn't know what they were up to, it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't take it seriously. She just said, "It's that kind of thing. The diamond bead is in the Pathé Museum, and the other white jade bead was just unearthed by me yesterday, and now it's here!"

The white jade orb is right here?

Or was it just unearthed?
This is indeed information that Xia You had not grasped before.

"This..." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then please be careful. I heard...oh...I just heard...the Pathé Museum was robbed not long ago, and the robbers were targeting the diamond bead. Since there is also a white jade bead stored here, if they hear the news, they are likely to..."

Although Xia You didn't finish his words, Jiezilan already understood what he meant.

"Don't worry." Dr. Mustard Orchid didn't care much about it. "I've heard about what happened there, but I have my own way of protecting the pearl, which is definitely foolproof."

Is there any way...

It goes without saying that all he had to do was call the police and call Zhulan back.

and many more!

If Zhulan comes back... then I...

It seems that I have to leave this troubled place as soon as possible...

As for whether it is really foolproof, let Zhulan figure it out herself.

The tour was over, the chat was over, and it was time for Xia You to say goodbye.

But before leaving, he looked back at the pattern on the stone wall. He couldn't bear to see the old man go in the wrong direction, so he couldn't help but say to Mustard Orchid: "...I don't know if you have noticed that from a geographical point of view, Lizhi Lake, Xinqi Lake and Ruizhi Lake, which are the three lakes where the three legendary Pokémon of the lake are located, can form an equilateral triangle, just like the current pattern. The center of the triangle, that is, the sun, should... not refer to the two gems, but to Tianguan Mountain."

Mustard Orchid's eyes opened wide instantly.

"Wha...what?"

……

After leaving Jiezilan with a direction that she had never considered before, Xia You left.

Once they got to the street, he had the chance to tell Xiaoyao and Yami that Mustard Orchid was Zhulan's grandmother, which surprised the two girls.

"I was wondering why that doctor just now looked so different, it turns out she is the champion's grandmother!" Xiaoyao was a little surprised.

"This is the first time I heard about this, too." Yami couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect Zhulan to have such a grandmother. She looks really fashionable. She must have been a great beauty when she was young!"

"That's not what I'm concerned about." Xia You sighed, "Do you remember why I stopped you just now?"

Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I didn't understand before, but now I know. It's because you cheated Miss Zhulan so many times, so you're afraid that people will find you, right?"

"What do you mean by a trap?" Xia You coughed lightly, "Watch your words. It means the wrong person appeared at the right time! You should say this to others from now on. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes...I know."

Not to mention that Xia You and his companions set out again, leaving Shenhe Town, and their attention turned to Xiaozhi, Xiaoguang and Xiaogang on the other side.

After parting with Xia You in Baiyang Town, the three of them continued to move forward. However, because they already knew in advance that Xia You's destination was Jiayuan City, they wanted to bypass it and go to other places first to avoid the two groups' repeated travel.

However, when they were crossing Tianguan Mountain, they encountered various accidents, so that when they walked out of the mountains, they accidentally arrived in Jiayuan City.

This also made the three of them feel helpless.

I originally thought that since I was already here, I might as well go with the flow. But when Xiaoguang contacted Xiaoyao and asked her where she was, I unexpectedly learned that Xia You and the others had actually gone to Shenhe Town. I was also very surprised.

But it’s a good thing this way, as it also allows them to avoid a collision.

Let's skip over how Xiaozhi challenged the gym and the series of events that happened in Jiayuan City, and just say that after they accompanied Xiaoguang to attend the Jiayuan Conference here, they met an unexpected woman outside the venue.

It’s Zhulan!

It turned out that after leaving Baiyang Town, Zhulan originally wanted to try her luck in Black Gold City, but when she was halfway there, she happened to meet a trainer who was on the road. From him, she learned that Black Gold City had just held a gorgeous conference a few days ago. She instantly realized that she had chosen the wrong target.

She had no choice but to change direction and head back to Jiayuan City.

After all, she was the champion, so she kept running all the way, quickly crossing Tianguan Mountain. After all her efforts, she still managed to catch up with the start of the Jiayuan Conference.

But I didn't even remember to catch my breath that day. I watched the entire conference from beginning to end with great anticipation, but I was surprised to find that none of the contestants matched the masked man!

Although there were several qualified male contestants who took the field, none of them, without exception, gave her that feeling of 'déjà vu'!

This also made her mood instantly fall to the bottom.

How could it not be?
Did you guess wrong?
Or did that person go somewhere else?

For a moment, Zhulan felt a little discouraged.

She had been struggling for this man for too long, running to so many places, but she couldn't even catch a glimpse of him, and instead she even delayed her own business...

Doing this yourself...is it really worth it?
With a long sigh, Zhulan left the venue somewhat dejectedly, and after taking a few steps, she happened to see Xiaozhi and his group.

Zhulan was naturally familiar with these two boys and girls, as well as Xiaogang, who looked like a man next to them.

After all, she had dealt with them before, and had a six-on-six battle with Shinji who came to challenge her in front of Xiaozhi and the others!

So they were acquaintances, and when I saw them now, I naturally went up to them and greeted them.

"Xiaozhi, Xiaoguang, and... we meet again."

Seeing that Zhulan remembered Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang but forgot his own name, Xiaogang's heart was broken and he said with tears in his eyes: "Ms. Zhulan, have you forgotten me? My name is Xiaogang! I am your most loyal supporter!"

Although it felt a bit disrespectful, Zhulan still found it difficult to keep her eyes on this man.

Fortunately, at this time, Xiaozhi smiled at her and said, "Ms. Zhulan, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are you here?"

"There are things that need to be taken care of."

Zhulan was too embarrassed to say that she was here to look for someone, she just made up an excuse. However, when she said this, she turned her gaze to Xiaoguang.

Because of the special rules of the Family Bond Conference, two Pokémon must be used at the same time to perform a double Pokémon show. Xiaoguang had never had this experience before. Although she was a little uncomfortable with it, she still performed very well at the conference. Unfortunately, her opponent this time was too strong...

Xiao Wang, Shangzhi, and Musashi, who goes by the alias Tiantian Musashi Lina, all performed well and finally squeezed Xiaoguang out!
That’s right, Xiaoguang didn’t pass the first round of performance review…

She had previously been able to pass the White Poplar Conference with the 8th place, but in this competition with Musashi participating, she was replaced by Musashi...

This was undoubtedly a big blow to Xiaoguang.

But Zhulan was obviously not the kind of person who judged victory or defeat by results. She smiled and praised, "I saw your performance, it was really wonderful. I can only say that the other contestants in the competition today also performed well, and you were overshadowed."

After a short period of challenge, Xiaoguang has actually recovered. Now, after hearing what Zhulan said, he just shook his head.

"That's not the case. Being eliminated proves that my performance is not good enough. But it doesn't matter. I will continue to work hard next time!"

Xiao Guang's attitude also made Zhu Lan look at her with new eyes. After she sighed that this little girl would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, did you see anyone special when you were backstage?"

"Someone special?" Xiao Guang was stunned. "You mean...?"

Zhulan described Xia You's body shape.

After hearing her description, Xiaoguang frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying much attention, so..."

"It doesn't matter." Zhulan sighed, "I have given up hope now."

Hearing her say this, Xiaozhi was really curious and couldn't help asking, "Ms. Zhulan, who is this person you are looking for?"

Anyway, it was not a secret that needed to be hidden, so Zhulan told them about the man, the man wearing the Gengar mask.

What she didn't expect was that after hearing what she said, Xiaozhi's reaction would be so big!
"What!? It's him!" Xiaozhi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I want to find him too! When I see him again, I won't let him get away again!"

Zhulan was shocked and asked quickly, "Have you met him?"

"That's right!"

Xiaozhi also told Zhulan what happened to him at the top of the Tower of Time and Space, and it was at this moment that Zhulan realized that these people in front of her had such a close contact with the masked man!
"Then have you found any more clues? Or, did you meet similar people when you participated in the Poplar Conference?"

Xiaoguang, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang looked at each other and then asked in confusion: "Ms. Zhulan, why are you so sure that person will be a coordinator trainer?"

This is the only hope at the moment, so Zhulan naturally won't hide it anymore and tells her about how she went to the Tower of Time and Space, met Alice, and what Alice analyzed.

"So it was Miss Alice who told you..." Xiaoguang nodded, "Although it makes sense, but based on these clues alone, we can't conclude that the masked man is a coordination trainer, right?"

"Yeah." Xiaozhi nodded, "It could also be the audience."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but smile to Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang: "But speaking of which, it's really a coincidence that the place where this masked man appeared is exactly the same route that Brother Xia You took!"

Brother Xia You?
When Zhulan heard this name, for some reason, her heart skipped a beat!
"Who is this Brother Xia You you're talking about?"

Although he was talking about someone else, Xiaozhi still subconsciously straightened his chest: "Brother Xia You is the most powerful trainer I have ever seen! Not only is he smart, his Pokémon skills are also very strong. He also won the championships of the Quartz Conference, Silver Conference and Caiyou Conference in three regions in one go!"

If Xia You was here, he would definitely be "grateful and burst into tears" to hear Xiao Zhi praising him so hard. Unfortunately, he is not here now, and Xiao Zhi has saved his "life" because of this.

When Zhulan heard that one person had achieved so many achievements at the same time, her first reaction was disbelief.

Champions of three regions! ?

How amazing that would be!
I have never met such a person before.

It can be seen that Xiaozhi is not the kind of person who exaggerates. She fell silent again, with some expectations in her heart.

That’s right, only someone with so much honor would be able to subdue and command Rayquaza to fight! !
Thinking of this, she almost blurted out: "Then...the person wearing the Gengar mask, could it be him?"

Maybe Zhulan herself didn't realize that her voice was trembling slightly.

There was nothing she could do about it, she had been chasing after this man for too long!

And this was the first time in such a long time that she felt so close to the truth!

But unfortunately, Xiaozhi's next words poured cold water on him again.

"No." Xiaozhi smiled and shook his head, saying with certainty, "Brother Xia You is not a masked man. He is a very gentle and confident person. How could he do such a shady thing? And when the masked man was commanding Rayquaza to fight, Brother Xia You was taking refuge in the shelter!"

All I can say is that Xiaozhi has never disappointed anyone when it comes to disappointing others.

He had just betrayed Xia You inadvertently, but now he got it back for him.

The main point is to be straightforward and say whatever comes to mind!
And Zhulan's heart, which had just been leaping with joy, instantly cooled down after hearing his words.

"What? Not him?" She frowned. "But such a strong person would not jump out of the corner for no reason. Since you also know that he is so powerful and the routes are almost the same, he is very suspicious!"

Xiaozhi continued to perform steadily and muddied the waters once again.

"Don't worry, if it's really Brother Xia You, I can definitely recognize him, so it can't be him!" Xiaozhi patted his chest loudly, "Although Brother Xia You also has a few... hush, this is his secret, I told you because I trust Miss Zhulan, but please keep it secret for Brother Xia You after listening... ahem, although Brother Xia You also has a few legendary Pokémon, he definitely doesn't have Rayquaza! If he does, I will definitely know!"

Perhaps it was Xiaozhi's self-confidence that deeply influenced Zhulan, or perhaps she had misjudged the relationship between Xiaozhi and the man named Xia You, which made Zhulan dispel some of her thoughts.

After all, any speculation is unfounded before meeting the person in person.

What if it is just as Xiaozhi said and I am overthinking it?
Wouldn't that mean I'm blaming the wrong person?

But Zhulan is still the same Zhulan after all, and she did not completely believe Xiaozhi's one-sided statement.

So in his heart, the man named Xia You undoubtedly became her main target of suspicion!
Of course, he is also the only suspected target at present!
Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down and finally asked, "So, do you know where he is now?"

Whether it is true or not, I believe that as long as I meet him, everything will be clear!

"Of course." This time it was not Xiaozhi who spoke, but Xiaoguang. Xiaoguang said, "I just contacted his companions, and they seem to be in Shenhe Town now!"

Shenhe Town! ?

Zhulan's eyes widened again.

Isn’t that your home?

Why did that person named Xia You go there! ?

Thinking of this, she took out her mobile phone and opened the address book. The last call on it was from her grandmother Jie Zilan, who called last night!
As for the content of the phone call, it was about that after my grandmother dug out the white jade bead from the ruins behind the research institute, she heard that the Vajra bead had been robbed, so she asked me to go back and guard it for a while.

Originally she was still hesitating about which matter was more urgent.

But now it seems that I have to go back no matter what!

……

Aqiu——!
Xia You, who had just left Shenhe Town, suddenly sneezed.

This is quite rare for him now.

After all, with the blessings of the Sea Temple and the King of Phoenix, he would not catch a cold, let alone get sick, even if he got caught in the rain or endured the cold wind on Tianguan Mountain for a night.

Could it be that one of the women of mine is talking about me again?

Rubbing his nose, Xia You didn't take it to heart. But Ya Mi, who was standing next to him, thought that Xia You had caught a cold, and couldn't help but think of the "attack" by Xia You at night.

It's really embarrassing...

Although she knew that Xia You might have done it carelessly in her sleep, she wanted to act like she didn't care, but how could she do that?

My privacy was indeed touched by Xia You!
So much so that after she came down from Tianguan Mountain, she would always recall the scene in her mind whenever she had nothing to do.

This made her face suddenly turn red as she walked, which made Xiaoyao look confused.

no……

Does Miss Yami blush so easily now?
Speaking of which, after arriving at Shenhe Town by accident, Xia You and his friends' next destination naturally changed to Veil City.

Compared with the previous route, it is not really a detour. Anyway, we will get back in the end. It is just two directions at most.

It's just that Veil City is a little far away, so they will spend most of their time on the road.

But it is traveling after all, which means walking from one place to another. It doesn’t matter where you go, right?

They enjoyed the scenery along the way. Occasionally, a trainer would jump out to fight with Xia You. They walked farther and farther away and soon left the range of Shenhe Town.

And once again, when facing the challenge of a trainer, Xia You sent Riolu to the field. After a period of running-in and training, he evolved so beautifully the moment he won the battle!
