I got the Pokémon

Chapter 998 You too! ?

After a quick shower, Xia You left the secret base and returned to the Pokémon Center. In the restaurant, he saw Xiaoyao and Mei who had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw Xia You, Xiao Yao asked curiously, "Brother Xia You, where have you been this afternoon? Why did you come back just now?"

She had no other intention, she was just curious.

But after she finished speaking, she looked at Xia You carefully again, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Did you take a shower just now? Why do you look so refreshed?"

Of course it’s refreshing.

All the bullets have been used up, and now he feels relaxed all over!

Of course, I can’t tell these two people.

"I went to deal with some matters of the Galaxy Team." Xia You made up an excuse and asked, "What about you guys? What did you do this afternoon?"

"Of course we went shopping!" Xiaoyao didn't think much about it, but puffed out his chest and said complacently, "Although the time was short, sister Yami and I visited all the attractions here, bought some new clothes, and had delicious ice cream. But it doesn't matter, after you finish the gym tomorrow, if you still want to go shopping, we will still accompany you!"

"No problem, then hurry up and order the food. I feel so hungry now that I can eat a Kentaro!"

"So hungry?" Yami was a little surprised. "Did you consume a lot just now? Did you have a fight with the Galaxy team?"

"We did fight." Xia You shook his head with emotion, "But it wasn't with them, but with others..."

Now that he had entered the sage mode, he still felt a little melancholy about his impulsiveness in the secret base.

Of course, there is absolutely no regret.

After all, closer relations are a good thing in some ways, but... naturally there are also disadvantages.

The nature has changed...

In the past, I could treat them as friends and subordinates, but now...

Alas, it’s all because of my lack of willpower…

But no matter what, he is not the kind of person who would just take advantage of everything and leave it alone. Since the relationship has changed, he will try his best to work on the good side.

Of course, his physical problems were properly handled.

It can even be foreseen that if I feel uncomfortable again when I go to other areas in the future, I won’t have to worry about anything with A Quan and Huo Yan by my side. This is the most important thing.

From this point of view, it can also prevent you from getting into any entanglement with other women due to impulse in the future.

Hmm...it shouldn't happen again, right?

I guess so…

……

Just when Xia You, Xiaoyao and Yami were having dinner, two things happened.

The first one was the Shenhe Research Institute far away in Shenhe Town. Zhulan set out from Baiyang Town and after several days of traveling day and night, she finally returned here before sunset.

As soon as she entered the institute, she went directly to her grandmother's office.

"Grandma, I'm back."

At this time, Jiezilan was looking up information at her desk, and there were many books scattered around her, at least four or fifty books. This made Zhulan, who had just opened the door, frown subconsciously.

What's going on here?
My grandmother is a tidy person, how could she have messed up all these books?

Are you working so hard that you forget to eat and sleep?

She hasn't been like this for a long time!
Seeing that Jiazilan hadn't raised her head yet, as if immersed in her own world, Zhulan couldn't help but walk to her side and asked softly, "Grandma, what happened? Why are you calling me back so urgently?"

Startled by the voice, Jiezilan finally came back to her senses. She looked up and saw that it was Zhulan. She took off her reading glasses and sighed to her.

"Wrong... all wrong..."

"Ah?" Zhu Lan was stunned. "What's wrong?"

"My previous research direction was wrong." Jiezilan pushed an ancient book on the table in front of Zhulan, feeling very emotional. "I always thought that the sun only represented the diamond bead and the white jade bead, and it was more of a symbolic meaning, but I didn't expect it to be Tianguan Mountain. This completely changed my opinion on some things. Fortunately, it's not too late to find out, and there is still time to save it."

Zhulan naturally knew the direction that Jiezilan had been focusing on before, and also knew how much effort she had invested in it. Now hearing what her grandmother said, she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Mustard Orchid suddenly sighed again: "Oh, what an amazing young man, he discovered the connection so easily. I have studied it for so long in vain. But in this case, the matter of those people from the Galaxy team snatching the Diamond Orb does not seem to be so simple. Is their target Arceus? Or Dialga and Palkia..."

My grandmother actually praises others for being great?

Hearing this, Zhulan's heart moved and she couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"Grandma, who is the young man you are talking about...?"

"He is a junior scholar and a trainer." Mustard Orchid didn't think much about it and introduced him naturally, "His name is Xia You, and he is traveling here from another place."

Xia...Xia You! ?

Why is he everywhere?!
Zhulan was shocked and immediately asked what happened.

But Jiezilan didn't expect her granddaughter to react so strongly. Although she was surprised, she still told the story.

After hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Zhulan's eyes.

"You mean...he's still a scholar?"

"That's right." Jiezilan smiled, "I've read his paper on the butterfly effect before. It's quite interesting."

"You also said... He personally admitted to you that he had been to the museum in Baidai City and saw the Galaxy Team attack there?"

Mustard Orchid nodded again: "Although it is not stated, it should be that meaning."

"Does he know about your relationship with me?"

Jiezilan didn't know why her granddaughter cared so much about Xia You. Instinctively, she felt that there must be some unknown secret.

Is it...

Before these two people...

The thought flashed through her mind, but she didn't show it. She just said, "Of course I don't know. Even among the people in Sinnoh, how many people know that I am your grandmother? Not to mention those outsiders."

Zhulan understood.

It turned out to be like this...

It seems that the man named Xia You really revealed his whereabouts inadvertently.

Since he also appeared in the EMI Museum, and it happened to be the day when Team Galactic attacked, then all the evidence corroborates each other, doesn't it make it even more certain that he is the masked man!

but……

Although the probability is small, it is still possible that it is a coincidence.

Thinking of this, she asked again: "Grandma, when did he leave? Did he say where he was going next?"

Seeing Zhulan's anxious look, Jiezilan became more certain of her guess.

"Zhu Lan." She didn't answer immediately, but stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sunset outside the window. "Although it is said that if a girl chases a boy, she will catch him. That young man named Xia You does have a good image and is very smart, but you are a champion after all, and you are older than him. There are so many eyes staring at you. You can't be so proactive, not to mention that there is a very beautiful green-haired woman next to him, so you... should be more stable."

what?
It does not make sense!

As soon as Jiazilan opened her mouth, Zhulan knew she had misunderstood.

She hastily explained a few words, but to Jiezilan, these words were just her attempt to cover up something, and the more she explained, the worse it got.

Even at the end, seeing that Jiezilan didn't believe it, Zhulan felt tired.

"Grandma, let's not talk about anything else for now. Just tell me where he went."

"How could I possibly know such a thing?" She just shook her head. Seeing her granddaughter's visibly disappointed expression, she smiled. "Although they didn't tell me directly, from where they came from and the route they took afterwards, I can infer that they must have gone to Veil City."

Curtain City?

Zhulan thought about it for a moment and felt that this was very possible.

If this is the case, then as long as there is news of the masked man appearing in this direction again, we can be 100% sure that it is him!

I just don’t believe there can be so many coincidences!

……

On the other side, far away at the port of Veil City.

Dragging his somewhat tired body, A Quan returned to the secret base.

It must be said that after getting what she wanted, although she felt a little unwell, she was full of energy. In this state, she was as if assisted by God. After this investigation, she really discovered something!
This also made her more confident about the upcoming action.

The most important thing is that she did not disappoint Xia You's expectations!

It goes without saying that once this matter is done beautifully, my weight in this man's heart will definitely increase!
Now back here, thinking about what happened during the day, a smile appeared on her lips.

When he went upstairs and saw Huoyan on the sofa who had just taken a bath, Ah Quan could not hide his pride. This damn girl, you dare to argue with me? Dream on!

Feeling happy, she did not go back to her room directly, but leaned against the door, looking at Huoyan with a smile.

"You came back early enough. What did you gain from this operation?"

"Action?" Huoyan looked at her with a smug smile on his face, "I was just about to set off."

"What?" Ah Quan was a little surprised. "So what did you do when you went out this afternoon?"

"Sorry, I didn't leave here this afternoon." Huoyan stood up, with an even bigger smile on his face, "I saw an old fox stealing food furtively, so of course I stayed to see what was going on."

Just one sentence made A Quan's brows raise!

"You saw it all!?"

"Yes, I heard it." Huoyan curled his lips, "It was so loud, it was hard not to hear it!"

Having this matter revealed, especially in front of Huoyan, A Quan felt somewhat embarrassed, but she rolled her eyes and snorted coldly.

"So what? Since you already know everything, that's perfect. It will make you realize that Xia You likes me more than you do!"

"You're not the only one he likes." Huoyan was not willing to be outdone. He looked at her tit-for-tat and then unzipped his collar, allowing A Quan to see the deep kiss marks on his neck.

"What!?" Ah Quan's eyes widened immediately, looking at her in disbelief, "Could it be - you - you also -!?"

"Why do you think I've been here all afternoon?" Huo Yan raised her head. "Don't think you're the only one who's become his woman. So am I. And compared to you, Xia You and I have been here for a whole afternoon! An entire afternoon!"

Hearing Huoyan deliberately emphasize the word "afternoon", A Quan felt so angry that his teeth were itching!
Damn it!
This woman actually succeeded!

With a secretly sullen sound in his heart, A Quan also felt a little resentful towards Xia You.

You've clearly done it with yourself, so why can't you resist the temptation?

After glaring at Huoyan fiercely, A Quan was too lazy to say anything to her. He simply pushed open the door and entered his bedroom.

When she returned to the room and looked at the mess that had not been cleaned up yet, she couldn't help but smile.

Although Huoyan, that woman, succeeded in seducing him, his life had changed anyway!
……

The Veil Gym is located at the edge of the forest on the outskirts of Veil City.

It covers a very large area and is located on a huge lawn. It is surrounded by a long Japanese-style high wall. The main body is several two- or three-story red-tiled buildings. The ancient fighting feeling is overwhelming. It is worthy of being a fighting gym and looks very imposing.

After resting for a night at the Pokémon Center and having breakfast the next day, Xia You brought Xiaoyao and Yami to the door of the gym.

When you push open the door of the gym and walk inside, you can hear some "hum hum ha hey" sounds coming from somewhere. It is obvious that many people are practicing karate.

Their entry quickly attracted the attention of the people here.

A tall man in his forties, wearing a white karate uniform and a black belt around his waist, strode up to them.

After looking at the three of them for a few seconds, the man said, "I am the instructor and assistant of this dojo, Kuroda. What are you doing here? Are you here to challenge the dojo, or to learn karate?"

"Hello." Xia You greeted him first, then stated his purpose, "I'm here to challenge this gym. I wonder if the owner is here now?"

The man named Kuloda nodded and said, "You've come at the right time. The owner, Mr. Li, has just finished his morning exercise. I'll take you to find her now."

After saying that, the man left first. Xia You and the other two looked at each other and hurriedly followed him and entered the gym with him.

The interior of the dojo is no different from an ordinary karate gym. When they arrived in front of the tatami, they took off their shoes and entered the fighting arena.

Thumb thump thump thump...

After passing through the entrance hall, a simple indoor battlefield appeared in front of them.

This is obviously more suitable for fighting Pokémon with fighting attributes. The venue is very open and the ground is compacted with hard soil, which looks very hard and flat.

And here, Xia You also saw the gym leader named Ah Li.

She was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with messy pink hair that curled up at the ends, a pair of eyes of the same color, a Band-Aid on her nose, and wearing tight clothes. She looked very energetic.

However, compared to other karate players, Ali's physique is a little too thin. There are no obvious muscles, and even her chest is quite ordinary.

The most important thing is that her temperament is too immature!
At this time, Ah Li was sitting cross-legged in meditation. When he saw Xia You and others come in, he opened his eyes and looked at them.

Xia You's gaze also swept past Ah Li and looked at the wall behind her, where she saw three mottos hanging, from left to right: "Do one good deed a day", "One meal a day" and "Once in a lifetime".

Xia You didn't know what these three mottos had to do with this gym, but his attention was obviously not here. Instead, he returned to Ah Li and nodded to her.

"Hello, I'm here to challenge this gym."

"Welcome to my gym. Nice to meet you. I'm Ah Li." Ah Li stood up and looked at the others while speaking. He finally set his sights on Xia You. "You are today's challenger, right? From the looks of it, you look pretty good. Just right for today's opening battle!"

Because they were not familiar with each other, the two did not chat about anything. After a brief greeting, they went to their respective trainer command areas.

Xiaoyao and Yami naturally sat aside, and Kuloda, who brought them in, also walked to the side and acted as the referee.

Just as they were getting ready, Xiaoyao turned around and looked at Yami again.

"Sister Yami, are you going to play today?"

Yami shook her head, fixed her eyes on Xia You in the field, and shook her head gently.

"No, let's just watch Mr. Xia You's game."

You guys slept together, and you still call him Mr. Xia You?

Xiaoyao sighed.

With a personality like Yami's, she really deserves to be taken advantage of by Brother Xia You...

But looking at it from another angle, Brother Xia You really knows how to bully people!
There was no time to think about anything else. At this time, the man named Kuloda saw that Xia You was ready and announced the rules of the game.

"The gym challenge between challenger Xia You and Curtain Gym Master Ah Li will now begin. The number of Pokémon used is three. When all three Pokémon of either side are unable to fight, the match will end. In addition, only the challenger can change Pokémon."

Ordinary rules, ordinary venue, ordinary opponent, it seems... today will also be an ordinary battle.

As the challenged one, Li was the first to release her Pokémon.

As the blue light flashed, a Masana appeared in front of Xia You.

As a Pokémon with both fighting and psychic powers, Xia You rarely deals with it. On the contrary, he often sees its evolved form, Charrem, and knows many trainers who use it, such as Cucumber-Scented.

Its shape is very similar to a blue-skinned Indian monkey, especially the structure on its head, which can be said to be designed with yoga and meditation as elements.

The body is mainly sky blue, with milky white ring-shaped patterns on the arms, and the abdomen and toes are also milky white. The shape of the head is similar to the spire of an Indian pagoda, with round curled protrusions on both sides. The eyes are relatively large, and the pupils are black. In fact, if you look closely, the image is still very acceptable to the public.

This Pokémon practices yoga in the mountains. Daily yoga practice is indispensable for it. It will improve its mental strength through meditation and will continue to meditate for several hours. After improving its mental strength through meditation, it can float in the air. It only eats one fruit a day and will temper its heart by going hungry.

But don't underestimate it. As a Pokémon with fighting and psychic attributes, it has powerful attack methods, whether in close combat or long-range attacks, and should not be underestimated.

But this kind of Pokémon actually depends on who is in charge of it.

It's not without reason that Li can become the gym leader of the weakest echelon.

Although she has only taken over this position for half a year and is also known as a talented girl in karate, she has more defeats than wins in her tenure at the gym until now. Even Shinji gave her a comment after fighting with her - she is incredibly weak.

Even when the newcomer Xiaoguang came to challenge, he only barely won against Xiaoguang who had never had any experience in gym battles before.

Compared to her, Asha, who also took over the position of gym leader from her family, is much stronger.

This also shows how strong she is.

Therefore, for this battle, Xia You did not use any other Pokémon, but directly threw out his Charmeleon.

The new gym leader is evenly matched with the newly captured Pokémon in terms of strength.

Of course, if we don't count him, the trainer who has won three regional tournaments, then Li will have no chance of winning at all.

Ali was completely unaware of this.

She now had only one idea in mind, which was to try her best to defeat today's challenger and make her dismal winning rate look a little better.

At the same time, on the field, the half-meter-tall little flame monkey looked at the blue monkey in front of it, which was almost the same size as it, and looked at it with interest.

They are all monkeys, why do they look so different?

Maybe it didn't understand why a monkey would end up learning yoga.

Without a tail, do you want to pretend to be a human?
Seeing that both Pokémon were ready, with the referee's order, the challenge officially began.

As for the strategy for this battle, it took a very short time to capture the Flame Monkey. Although it is quite clever, it has the unstable and erratic personality of a monkey. Even when facing a very weak opponent, Xia You did not take it lightly and let it fight on its own. Instead, he participated in the command.

Only when its strength grows further will he let it fight on its own, like he did with Frog and Riolu before.

But now...

The most urgent task is to build up its confidence first!
Just at his command, the little flame monkey took the lead in launching the attack.

Sparks started with long-range consumption, and when Mashana was dodging, the little flame monkey also jumped all the way towards Mashana.
