I got the Pokémon

At 5 pm, a day of intense qualifying competition came to an end.

After counting the scores of all the contestants, the organizers announced the list of the top 64.

For a moment, all the contestants' hearts were subconsciously lifted. Needless to say, those who performed well were eagerly waiting to advance. Even those who performed poorly looked up at the big screen, hoping that they would be able to advance to the next round by chance.

Although some people already have a rough idea of ​​their rank after knowing their scores, with so many participants, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make mistakes. How can one be truly sure without waiting for the actual results to come out?

This is an annual competition that involves honor, reputation and prize money. If they fail, they will have to wait until the next year to participate again. Success or failure depends on this one move, so they cannot afford to be careless!

"Now, let us reveal the answer!"

As Vivian spoke passionately, the picture on the big screen changed, and 64 avatars and names appeared on it one by one.

It can be seen that Robert ranked first among all with the highest score. The second place was not Xiaoshun, but a woman with long dark blue hair. This made Xia You and others feel unexpected but reasonable. After all, there was a difference of 3 points between Xiaoshun and Robert, and there were many hidden talents among these contestants. It was not incredible that anyone could rank ahead of Xiaoshun.

They scanned the list and soon found Xiaoyao's profile picture at number 48.

This made Xiaoyao happy and she also felt relieved.

Although she had expected that she would advance, when tomorrow actually came, her tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Feast! Feast!" Xiaozhi couldn't help but shout, "In order to celebrate Xiaoyao's success in advancing to the finals, we must celebrate properly!"

While everyone was happy, Xia You looked back again, but to him, those were all contestants he had never seen before, with only Harry's portrait appearing at the end of the list.

As expected, he made it to the next round.

Although his character is not very good, it can be seen that his ability is still very good.

It's just that his mind is not used in the right way at all. If he could change his bad habit of scheming against others, perhaps his performance would be further improved. But it is obvious that this kind of character has been deeply rooted in his bones. Unless he corrects it completely, his level will probably only stay here in this lifetime.

In the evening, they had a big dinner as they wished.

However, this meal was not treated by Xia You, but paid for by Mitsuko.

This is not only because his daughter successfully advanced to the main competition, but also to thank friends like Xiaozhi and Xiaogang for taking care of Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng along the way.

For Xiaozhi, it doesn't matter who treats him, as long as he can eat delicious food, he will be satisfied. Look, he and Pikachu are eating voraciously, as if they haven't eaten for several days.

But except for Mitsuko, everyone else was used to this. Instead, they felt that Xiaozhi was being straightforward and genuine.

In such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, they spent the first day of the grand celebration.

According to the celebration schedule, after the first day of preliminaries, there will be a day of rest and adjustment time, and the main competition will not start until the third day.

This also gave Xiaoyao more time to prepare.

But when they finished breakfast in the restaurant early the next morning, that annoying Harry came again.

"Good morning, Xiaoyao!"

As the saying goes, never hit a smiling person, facing the bright-faced Harry, no matter how much Xiaoyao and the others disliked him, they could only suppress their impatience and greet him.

"Morning to you too, Mr. Harry."

Harry came to Xiaoyao very familiarly, or unconsciously, and said with a very artificial smile: "You are going to practice, right? I am going too. If you don't mind, can you practice with me?"

"Well..." Xiaoyao repeated to Harry what Xia You taught her yesterday, "I'm so sorry, I've already made a schedule with my friends. I have to go somewhere far away with them today, so I can't practice with you anymore."

Harry was stunned when he heard her answer.

This was the first time he heard Xiaoyao reject him. After all, after several contacts, he had already seen that this girl was kind-hearted and thin-skinned. This was why he always succeeded in using some tricks.

But why now...

This is not something she would say at all!

Although a little surprised, Harry didn't care and continued with a smile: "Don't say that, we are all coordinating trainers, and we have entered the finals together, shouldn't we help each other? And aren't we friends too!"

I can only say that Harry is too clingy, like a dog-skin plaster, which is not easy to tear off once it is stuck on the body!

I don’t know how he met Xiaoyao in the first place, and what happened, so that I can’t get rid of her even now.

However, Harry was right about one thing, that is, compared to Xiaoxia, Xiaoyao is really not good at rejecting others. If she were the only one here, she would probably not know what to do.

But fortunately, although her mother Mitsuko is not by her side, she still has other people she can rely on.

Without answering Harry, Xiaoyao turned to look at Xia You with an embarrassed look on her face.

Seeing the plea for help on her face, Xia You sighed inwardly.

I originally wanted to train Xiaoyao and let her solve this problem by herself, but now it seems that this man named Harry is not someone Xiaoyao can handle now.

After taking a few steps forward and blocking Xiaoyao behind him, Xia You turned and looked at Harry indifferently.

This was not only the first time that Xia You officially met Harry face to face, but it was also the first time that Harry looked Xia You in the eye. Just looking at those eyes, Harry suddenly felt a huge pressure for some reason!

"Didn't you hear Xiaoyao say that you have plans for today?" Xia You said coldly, "If you know what's best for you, leave now. You seem to be a person who cares about your reputation, but don't wait until I ask you to leave. If that happens, I won't be as polite as I am now."

Compared to Xiaoyao, Xia You's words naturally sounded less comfortable, which made Harry's face change.

Seeing Xia You standing up, Xiaoxia behind him also loosened her clenched fists.

Fortunately, she was not given the opportunity to perform. If it was her turn, with Xiaoxia's stubborn temper, facing such an ungrateful person, she would probably just act like a stubborn person!

Harry frowned, looked Xia You up and down, and his voice became deeper: "Who are you!?"

"You don't even know who he is?" Xiaozhi, who was standing aside, heard that Harry didn't know who Xia You was. He coughed lightly and was about to repeat Xia You's titles, but Xia You stopped him with a hand.

"Who I am has nothing to do with you." Xia You was too lazy to waste time talking to him and snorted coldly, "You just need to know that you are not welcome here."

This statement can be said to be quite straightforward and impolite.

How could Harry endure being chased away like garbage in front of so many people!

"What did you say!?" He suddenly raised his voice several degrees and shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!!"

"I'll only say this once." Compared to Harry's anger, Xia You remained indifferent. "If you dare to pester Xiaoyao again in the future, don't blame me for being rude."

To be honest, Harry really wanted to explode and let this man who came out of nowhere taste his power.

But when I thought about how I had been preparing for Xiaoyao for so long, just to make her lose the game, I couldn't just give up all my efforts now, right?

We must not give up at this moment!

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He turned to look at Xiaoyao and said in a flattering tone: "Xiaoyao, you must not think so! Aren't we friends?"

"This one……"

Xiaoyao really didn't expect Xia You to use such a direct approach, leaving no room for maneuver. Now seeing Harry looking at her again, she didn't know what to say.

In fact, it can be clearly felt that Harry is using this method to let Xiaoyao speak for him.

After all, in his opinion, the man who suddenly appeared next to Xiaoyao must be someone she had just met not long ago. Otherwise, why had he never seen him in so many previous gorgeous competitions?

And considering that Xiaoyao and I have known each other for so many times, I believe Xiaoyao will definitely stand on my side!

Xiaoyao showed an embarrassment on her face.

It's not that she didn't know how to choose between Xia You and Harry, but she actually wanted to reject Harry, but she couldn't say such words in front of him.

Fortunately, Xia You came to her rescue again at this time.

"This is really outrageous." He looked at Harry and said helplessly, "You are an adult, can you act like a man? Stop trying to pick on a little girl? And can you behave like a real man? Put away your pretentious expression, and can you stop speaking in such a feminine tone all the time?"

This undoubtedly completely angered Harry.

Even Misty, Satoshi, and Brock looked at each other in bewilderment.

After being together for so long, they have rarely seen Xia You have such an aggressive side!

Even though this may be a bit exaggerated, but... it's so satisfying!

With Harry's personality, there was no way he could stand such ridicule.

Before, Xiaoyao was just not close to his Mengge Cactus and thought it was "scary", but he still holds a grudge against her now, not to mention that Xia You is mocking her in person now.

He could use deception and harm to deal with Xiaoyao, but looking at the man in front of him at this moment, he just wanted to stomp his head into the floor immediately and make him pay the price for his rudeness and stupidity!!!

"I see." Harry took a deep breath, and the fake smile on his face disappeared. Although he looked very calm, his heart had already erupted like a volcano. "It seems that you are deliberately going against me. Very good, very good, since you are looking for death, then I will grant your wish!"

This is exactly what Xia You was waiting for.

He certainly couldn't drive this man away with words alone. In fact, as soon as he took a step forward, he knew that he would definitely have a fight with Harry.

"It's rare that you chose a manly way." He raised his thumb, pointed behind him, and said with a smile, "Then follow me to the battle field in the back. I also want to see what kind of skills a man like you has!"

Harry said nothing, followed Xia You out of the restaurant with a heavy face.

Seeing the two of them leave, Xiaozhi, Xiaosheng and Xiaogang couldn't sit still and followed them out.

Looking at the backs of the people leaving, Xiaoyao opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Xiaoxia stopped her.

"Leave it to Brother Xia You." She gave Xiao Yao a bright smile, "This is a duel between two men for a girl, just like in a romance drama. Especially for someone like Brother Xia You, this is not something that everyone can experience!"

"what are you saying."

Xiaoyao blushed, but after Xiaoxia said that, she now thought that compared to being annoyed herself, handing it over to Xia You might be a better solution.

After leaving the dormitory hall of the stadium, Xia You and Harry walked towards the open-air battlefield not far away, one after the other.

It was a little after seven in the morning. As there was no competition today and it was early, not only were there few spectators and pedestrians wandering around, but even the participating coordination trainers had not yet left their homes.

This also makes the entire area empty and looks very deserted.

After following Xia You for dozens of meters, Harry looked at Xia You with more and more resentment.

He became more and more fearful and came up with a vicious idea in his mind. Seeing that there was no one around, he first released his Mengge Cactus and continued to follow Xia You. Seeing that he didn't notice anything, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and with a glance, he ordered his Mengge Cactus to launch a sneak attack from behind!

The target of his sneak attack was not any Pokémon, but Xia You who was walking in front of him!

Whether it is a trainer or a coordinating trainer, there has actually always been an unwritten rule, that is, in a Pokémon battle, whether it is official or private, it is not allowed to attack the trainer unless it is a passive counterattack.

Although there is no legal constraint and it is purely a matter of personal quality, once someone touches this bottom line, they will definitely be despised by everyone. Therefore, for most people, they will generally abide by this unwritten rule.

But for some people, such constraints are of no use to them at all, and Harry is obviously such a person!

Mengge Cactus waved its thorny arms and smashed towards the back of Xia You's head.

This scene was witnessed by Xiaozhi and his friends who had just walked out of the dormitory hall.

Seeing that there was no Pokémon beside Xia You and the attack of Mengge Cactus was approaching, Xiaozhi and the other two's faces changed immediately.

"Brother Xia You! Be careful!!!"

Xiaozhi only had time to shout, but because it was too far away, even if Pikachu rushed over now, it would be too late!
