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

It's not that he doesn't recognize the appearance of the finger swing.

But Liu Bo really didn't believe that someone could just happen to pull out a fire-attribute move with a decent amount of damage, Big Flame Explosion, from among hundreds of skills.

However, the strength of the messenger bird and the boar is also impressive.

Despite taking the skills that restrained their own attributes, they still adjusted their status at lightning speed and rushed straight towards Xia Mu.

"Gengar."

Seeing this, Xia Mu signaled to Geng Gui beside him.

"Scared!"

With the delay just now, Gengar had taken the opportunity to leave a lot of scars on the ice barrier.

Now, after hearing Xia Mu's order, it raised the shadow ball that had already accumulated power and pressed hard at the expected place.

"Bam—"

Suddenly, white mist from the shattered ice enveloped the surroundings.

The airtight barrier built by Liu Bo had already had a big hole, enough for Xia Mu to pass through.

"Don't think about it."

Seeing this, Liu Bo didn't bother to think about the strange wave of his finger that just brought out his luck, but instead stomped his feet hard.

A thin layer of ice extended along the ground all the way to the hole, apparently trying to repair the damaged barrier.

However, Liu Bo was a step too slow. Before the repair, Xia Mu and Gengar had already teleported to the outside of the barrier.

Instead, the pursuing messenger bird crashed into the barrier that had just been repaired, causing the hole to further expand.

"Masked man, let's fight again next time." Xia Mu hovered in the air and said condescendingly.

But if you look closely, you can see that his face is equally pale.

After losing his arm, he immediately spent a lot of his stamina to increase his luck in swinging his fingers, but even he could not handle it.

Xia Mu estimated that in his current condition, he could only perform one more long-distance teleportation.

If the masked man had been a little more persistent, he would still not have been able to escape the fate of being caught today.

But he was gambling that the other party would not be able to see his abnormality.

Facts proved that Xia Mu's judgment was correct, and Liu Bo did not notice his weakness at all.

After seeing Xia Mu escape, Liu Bo's face became extremely ugly.

The reason why he was able to suppress Xia Mu before was largely because the ice barrier restricted the opponent's range of movement.

Now that the other party has escaped from this cage, it is like a bird returning to the sky.

If he wants to chase again, the difficulty will increase exponentially.

This time...it seems that this is all we can do.

A deep sense of frustration grew in Liu Bo's heart, just when he was about to give up.

He received the message that Lugia had sent not long ago.

"Eevee, and... Gardevoir?"

Liu Bo's eyes lit up slightly, and the extinguished hope was ignited again from the bottom of his heart.

"Messenger bird, southeast, move at high speed, and then use freezing ray!"

Chapter 26 I'm sorry, Xia Mu...

"Faster...faster..."

With the rapid consumption of its super powers, Gardevoir was able to travel using high-frequency teleportation.

But despite this, the endless tide of fear still swallowed her heart whole.

Not long ago, she and Eevee had just entered the oak forest when they were attacked by a powerful Pokémon.

That Pokémon, Gardevoir, happened to be familiar to him - it was Lugia, who was under the command of the masked man that day.

This made Gardevoir immediately realize that this time Xia Mu not only had to deal with Celebi, but he might also have a conflict with the masked man.

Thinking that there was only a Gengar by the other side, Gardevoir's already heavy mood sank again, almost to the point of falling into the abyss.

In the end, it was the battle between Eevee and Lugia that woke her up.

With Eevee holding Lugia back, she was able to continue moving into the heart of the forest.

At the same time, under the baptism of fear, Gardevoir realized his own naivety for the first time.

She seriously underestimated Xia Mu's determination to heal herself, and did not consider possible emergencies.

If she had known this earlier, she would have followed Xia Mu obediently and supported his plan to capture Celebi.

At least this way she can be with the other person and share the danger together, instead of rushing forward only after realizing it belatedly after the incident.

It can be said that Xia Mu's already arduous task was raised to a higher level by her own hands.

After mechanically teleporting countless times, Gardevoir finally felt a vague energy fluctuation.

After careful identification, she recognized that this was Xia Mu's superpower.

But Gardevoir was not happy at all, because she could feel through her superpowers that Xia Mu was extremely weak at this moment.

It can even be described as a candle in the wind. Even the slightest setback may cause huge and irreparable harm to the other party.

"Don't let anything happen... please..."

With the almost squeezing release of instant movement, Gardevoir's speed increased again.

The distance between her and Xia Mu was getting closer and closer, and because of this, she could already vaguely feel the other person's physical condition with her telekinesis.

But despite being mentally prepared, Gardevoir's heart still skipped a beat when he saw Xia Mu bleeding profusely and with one arm missing.

"How could it become like this..."

A shattering, suffocating feeling spread in her heart.

Gardevoir couldn't imagine what kind of brutal battle Xia Mu had gone through to be injured like this.

As the other party's closest Pokémon, she knew very well how exaggerated Xia Mu's superpowers were.

Humanoid Pokémon, this word is too implicit in Gardevoir's eyes.

Because most Psychic-type Pokémon cannot reach Xia Mu's level of strength.

However, while Gardevoir was distracted, a petite red figure was rushing towards her at an extremely fast speed.

On the other side, Xia Mu realized something was wrong after the masked man gave the messenger bird an order.

But before he could stop the messenger bird, the masked man's order arrived first.

"Little pig, blizzard!"

In an instant, a large gust of white cold wind came out of the little boar's mouth, perfectly covering the departure of the messenger bird.

But at the same time, the masked man's actions made Xia Mu more certain that there was something over there.

And what could make the other party launch an attack so eagerly... Xia Mu knew what it was without having to think about it.

"Gardevoir."

Xia Mu gritted his teeth, not caring about the amount of superpowers in his body, and in a flash he crossed the snowstorm and chased after the messenger bird.

After the figures flashed one after another, Xia Mu could already vaguely see the messenger bird flying low in the sky.

But at the same time, he also noticed the figure on the ground that was the same as expected.

"Gardevoir!" Xia Mu shouted loudly.

As if hearing Xia Mu's voice, Gardevoir stopped teleporting and turned to look in the direction of the person in front.

When she saw the black dot in the distance, Gardevoir's eyes lit up. Although she couldn't see it clearly, she was sure that it was Xia Mu!

The joy that comes from being thankful keeps flowing out.

Given the distance between her and the other person, she could reach the target with a single long-distance teleportation.

So even if someone attacks Xia Mu now, she can teleport over and block it.

She... finally caught up.

At the same time, Gardevoir also noticed the messenger bird rushing towards her.

Although the bird was in the air, a cold light with a hint of chill was already shining in its beak.

Just the slight bit of cold air that leaked out caused all the branches to be covered with frost wherever it passed, which was enough to show how amazing the power of this long-accumulated attack would be.

But Gardevoir was not afraid, instead there was a cold light in her eyes.

She believed that she was no less powerful than this messenger bird.

And she will not let go of anyone who dares to hurt Xia Mu, whether it is a Pokémon or a human.

However, just as Gardevoir was also accumulating telekinesis and preparing to use a powerful mental attack to defeat the enemy, an accident happened.

The half-charged superpower quickly disappeared, and Gardevoir's powerful momentum also vanished.

The telekinesis that the psychic-type Pokémon is so proud of was locked firmly in the body at this moment and could not be released. Gardevoir's face changed when he noticed the abnormality in his body.

As someone who had followed Xia Mu around to fight crime for many years, she naturally knew what limited her superpowers.

Similarly, she also knew that the object that restricted her superpowers was none other than the bracelet on her hand.

She bought the bracelets for herself and Xia Mu herself.

For a moment, Gardevoir's mind was in a mess, and Xia Mu's miserable appearance played over and over again in her mind.

She...vaguely guessed the reason why the other party's arm was broken.

The relief just now disappeared, and Gardevoir's body trembled slightly.

She didn't dare to think about whether Xia Mu's call to her just now was out of concern or... anger after being betrayed.

In the blink of an eye, the freezing ray in the messenger bird's mouth was fully charged.

After flying to a distance away from Gardevoir, it suddenly climbed upwards.

Then aim the bird's beak at the former.

emission!

The arm-thick freezing light flew straight forward, carrying with it a chilling cold that was extremely obvious under the moonlight.

I'm afraid that even fire-attribute Pokémon will take a detour after seeing this freezing ray. No one will choose to withstand it head-on.

But at this time, Gardevoir had no time to dodge.

In other words... after her superpower was locked, it would be a pipe dream for her to dodge the attack with her weak body.

dying……

I'm sorry, Xia Mu.

Gardevoir closed his eyes tightly, ready to face death calmly.

however.

"Bam—"

The sound of the attack was heard, and the cold air exploded in an instant.

But Gardevoir did not feel any pain. The chill that came towards her was like opening a refrigerator in summer, and it even had a refreshing feeling.

Gardevoir slowly opened her eyes, then her pupils shrank suddenly, and her body became more and more trembling.

"Xia, Xia Mu..."

The person who took the freezing ray for her was none other than Xia Mu, the person she regarded as her closest.
