I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

Looking at the panting brown figure, Gardevoir hoped for the first time that the scene before her was just an illusion.

however…

Eevee, who had run all the way back, saw the empty house and thought of Gardevoir's previous question, was also swept by fear.

She also wanted to ask why Gardevoir wasn't with Xia Mu.

For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence.

In contrast, Eevee and Gardevoir felt increasingly cold-hearted.

If Eevee (Gardevoir) is here, doesn't that mean... Gengar is the only one by Xia Mu's side?

Suddenly, Gardevoir felt dizzy.

He mobilized his super powers almost mechanically and rushed towards the oak forest.

…………

At the same time, in the oak forest.

The battle between Xia Mu and Liu Bo gradually became more intense.

With the seamless cooperation between the Courier Bird and the Pig, Gengar's advantage in flexibility was gradually eliminated, and his injuries continued to worsen.

On the other hand, the messenger bird and the boar, because of their own strong strength, only suffered minor injuries after the cooperation.

"You have trained this Gengar very well."

Seeing that the outcome was decided, Liu Bo already had the leisure to praise Xia Mu's Pokémon during his spare time.

It's not that he's arrogant.

But he really couldn't figure out how Xia Mu could turn the situation around when he couldn't even use his superpowers and didn't have any Pokémon to use.

Seeing that Xia Mu did not answer his question, Liu Bo did not get angry, but raised his hand to signal the messenger bird to slow down its attack.

Then he looked at Xia Mu again and said in a deep voice:

"Xia Mu, I admire you as an opponent. For a trainer like you with great potential, anything that happens to you will be a loss to the entire alliance."

"So if you're willing to hand over the GS ball, I can make an exception and let you go this time, and forgive you for what happened before."

What Liu Bo said was very sincere, it was not that he really valued talent and wanted to let Xia Mu go.

It's because he still needs to save his strength to capture Celebi later.

If he continues to fight like this, he will certainly win in the end.

But it is not certain whether the messenger bird and the boar, which have consumed a lot of their physical energy, can defeat Celebi.

Liu Bo was unwilling to take such a risk, so even if he had to let go of Xia Mu, he was still willing to do so.

On the other side, Xia Mu fell into deep thought after hearing the masked man's request.

He naturally knew that the other party did this not out of any morality or justice.

But at the same time, a piece of information revealed by the masked man attracted his attention.

"GS ball?"

"Didn't he get the Phoenix Feather in the end?"

Xia Mu thought about the day when he ordered Gardevoir to loot all the feathers.

In other words, the masked man's only hope to catch Celebi is the GS ball in his hand.

Thinking of this, Xia Mu waved to Geng Gui, asking him to come back to him.

Seeing this, Liu Bo did not stop it. He just thought that Xia Mu agreed to his request and planned to obediently offer the GS ball.

The other party's subsequent actions further confirmed his guess.

Xia Mu took out a Poké Ball with a gold-plated cover from his arms.

Then he stretched it straight in his direction, shook it, and asked, "You want this?"

Liu Bo's fiery eyes swayed along with the Poké Ball. This was the closest he had ever been to Celebi.

Immediately, he said in a slightly urgent tone: "Xia Mu, give it to me and I will let you go."

Even though he still had some thoughts of revenge just now, after Xia Mu took out the GS ball, he only thought about how to capture Celebi.

He paid too much for this Pokémon of time...

However, after urging him, Xia Mu did not throw the Poké Ball to him. Instead, he showed a strange smile and asked:

"Masked man, there is only one Celebi, right?"

A bad premonition grew in Liu Bo's heart, but he still kept his composure and nodded.

"Yes, there is only one Celebi, what are you thinking...what are you doing?!"

Halfway through his speech, Uncle Liu's voice suddenly increased, almost to the point of a roar.

He watched Xia Mu throw the GS ball into the air, and then let Gengar blast it into pieces with a Shadow Ball.

The debris of the sphere flew all over the sky, but Xia Mu didn't feel sorry at all. Instead, he looked at Liu Bo with a smile.

"Since there is only one, for Gardevoir, let's compete fairly next time on the full moon night."

He couldn't let the masked man in front of him, whose identity he didn't know, kidnap the only Celebi.

As the words fell, Xia Mu slowly stretched out the arm with the bracelet in front of Geng Gui's mouth.

"Geng Gui, use Shadow Ball to smash this arm."

He gave the order calmly.

Chapter 25: Eevee... and Gardevoir

"Scared huh?"

When Geng Gui heard Xia Mu's order, he was startled, and the fatigue caused by the battle disappeared instantly.

It stared at Xia Mu with wide eyes, trying to see if there was any other meaning behind his words.

But in the end, Gengar was sure that the meaning of this order was just itself - to blow the arm apart.

That's it.

"Hah! Hah! Hah!"

Gengar began to shake his head violently. This was the first time it showed such resistance to something.

Then, it patted its chest, indicating to Xia Mu that it could hold on if he wanted to continue fighting.

For Pokémon, their trainers are often their only ones, even closer than their family members.

Even the ghost-type Gengar is the same in this regard.

Geng Gui couldn't attack Xia Mu no matter what.

Seeing Gengar’s resistance, Xia Mu was silent for two seconds, and realized that what he did was a bit too irritating to Gengar.

"Feel sorry."

He touched the purple fat man's head, then slowly withdrew his arm.

Just when Gengar breathed a sigh of relief, a crisp shattering sound was heard.

"Click——"

Xia Mu's arm with the bracelet shattered into ice crystals that floated in the air. The mixed blood mist made the ice crystals look even more enchanting.

Then, Xia Mu used his other hand to steadily catch the bracelet that was originally worn on his wrist.

The word "Nai" on the bracelet has been stained with blood, and the color is bright and beautiful.

That's right, he just mobilized the superpowers in his body to forcefully smash his arm.

The function of the bracelet is only to limit the superpowers from being released out of the body, but it cannot prevent their accumulation and flow in the body.

Under Xia Mu's conscious control, it was not difficult to crush an arm.

"Scared..."

Gengar stared at the scene in a daze, the smile he usually maintained gradually disappearing.

But it didn't have much time to react before Xia Mu's calm voice came again.

"Geng Gui, break the ice wall, let's leave."

As he spoke, Xia Mu glanced at the ice barrier surrounding him.

The barrier created by the masked man is quite strange. Even teleportation cannot get through it.

If you want to escape, you have to force a gap.

This is probably the reason why the masked man was so fearless from the very beginning.

While Xia Mu was giving the order, Liu Bo, who had gradually recovered from the shock of the GS ball's shattering, had red eyes and was furious.

The moment the GS ball shattered, it meant that all his efforts over the past few years had been in vain, and he was destined to return empty-handed this time.

"good very good."

After the blow, Liu Bo did not get angry but laughed instead. He stared at Xia Mu not far away with cold eyes, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you want to die so much, I will give you a ride."

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the messenger bird and the little boar and ordered:

"Go stop them for me. Don't worry about that Gengar. Make that human lose his ability to fight first."

Without any scruples, Liu Bo's attack completely turned into a mad dog-like bite.

Don't attack trainers - this iron rule in formal battles has been completely thrown out of his mind.

After receiving the order, the messenger bird carrying the little boar rushed towards Xia Mu again.

However, although Xia Mu was injured at this time, his combat power was significantly improved after he was able to use his superpowers.

A bright blue light emerged from his body, and then a powerful telekinesis carried the air from all directions and swept towards the messenger bird in the air.

The messenger bird was not panicked when seeing this, but just raised its small wings which looked non-intimidating.

A few white lights flashed by, and it slashed at the attacking mental power with several blows to split the tiles.

In an instant, a gap was torn in Xia Mu's encirclement, and the messenger bird slipped out through it.

however…

The moment it appeared, a ball of fire in the shape of a "big" character suddenly rushed towards it.

The messenger bird had no time to dodge, so it had to carry the little boar on its back and withstand the huge explosion of fire.

"Bam—"

There was a huge roar, and the messenger bird plummeted to the ground.

Both the messenger bird and the boar have an ice attribute that is twice as weak as fire.

After taking the blast that restrained them, the two Pokémon were covered in dust and had a look of confusion on their faces.

On the other side, Uncle Liu was also confused.

"Where did the big word explosion come from?"

He turned his gaze in the direction of Xia Mu, and saw Gengar behind him stretching out a hand with a white light gathering on one of its fingers.

Liu Bo narrowed his eyes and expressed his guess uncertainly:

"Is that... a finger wave?"
