I got the Pokémon

"Xia You...Brother..."

Xiaoyao repeated it in a low voice. It was obviously a normal name, but somehow she still felt a little embarrassed.

Maybe it's because it feels too intimate...

But with this change in name, it does feel like the relationship has become one step closer.

Thinking of the sweet smile from the heart on Xiaoxia's face every time she called him this name, Xiaoyao suddenly had a wonderful feeling.

Seeing the girl's shyness, Xia You smiled and said, "Okay, how do you want to train?"

Seeing that he brought the topic back to the point, Xiaoyao also quickly said seriously: "Um...you defeated Harry the day before yesterday. I wonder if you can tell me how you defeated him?"

How do you feel about defeating him?

Xia You thought about it, but no matter how hard she thought about it, she didn't learn anything from the last battle with Harry. She just crushed him with her hard power...

"Well..." He hesitated for a moment and thought, "Harry's strength is still a little weak for me, so I really don't feel that he is difficult to deal with."

After hearing what he said, Xiaoyao was suddenly a little disappointed.

Sure enough, people are completely different. Harry, who was a tough opponent in his own eyes, was so vulnerable in front of Brother Xia You.

Wait...Brother Xia You?

I just changed my way of addressing him, why do I seem to have gotten used to this name in my heart?

It must be because I heard Misty and Satoshi calling me that too many times.

Seeing the emotions on Xiaoyao's face, Xia You said again: "Of course, although I can't help you deal with Harry, I can improve your strength!"

"Eh?" Xiaoyao was stunned, "What does this mean?"

Xia You took out a Poké Ball directly from his waist bag, released his Gardevoir, and called Gengar out from the shadow.

"What I mean is, there is still one night left, and I can help you train your Pokémon and improve them fundamentally!"

“Really…really?”

From Xiaoyao’s excited tone, you can tell how happy she is!

These are Gardevoir and Gengar. Everyone knows that these are among the strongest Pokémon in Brother Xia You's hands. With their help, his Pokémon will definitely be greatly improved!

"Of course. This is extremely rare. People like me rarely give advice to others."

In fact, just as Xia You himself said, this also shows how much he values ​​Xiaoyao.

After all, in the previous battle with Harry, he only sent Eevee and Milotic to the field and defeated Harry. But now, in order to train Xiaoyao, he actually directly sent out his Gengar and Gardevoir!

It’s a good thing that Harry didn’t know this, otherwise his self-esteem would definitely be hit and he would think that he was being looked down upon!

"Thank you so much!" Xiaoyao was so happy that she even bowed deeply to Xia Youshen, "I will work hard!!"

"Nice momentum." Xia You nodded with satisfaction at Xiaoyao's attitude, "Time is running out, so let's get started!"

"Yes!!"

Taking out two Poké Balls from her waist bag, Xiaoyao released her Pokémon at this time, and when the blue light flashed, her Hunting Butterfly and Bulbasaur appeared in front of Xia You.

"So, you are going to send them to fight Harry in tomorrow's match?"

"That's what I think." Xiaoyao was obviously a little lacking in confidence, and asked tentatively, "Is there any problem with this?"

"Of course, no problem. Bulbasaur on the ground and Swallowtail in the air can cooperate with each other to attack the opponent from two directions, making it difficult to defend. It is indeed a very good combination."

After getting Xia You's affirmation, Xiao Yao also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I was worried that this combination might not suit you very well."

"For things like this, just do what you like and don't worry about other people's opinions, including mine." Hearing Xiaoyao say this, Xia You shook her head and said to her, "Be a little confident. After all, you are now a successful player who has made it to the top 32. You are also a little famous. You must have your own opinions. And since it is a gorgeous battle, as long as you can show the characteristics of the Pokémon, it doesn't matter which Pokémon you send to the field."

"I...I know..."

Seeing that the four Pokémon were ready, Xia You said no more and directly signaled Xiaoyao that he could attack him at any time.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao quickly got into the state, but before giving the order, she took another look at Xia You's two Pokémon in front of her and swallowed subconsciously.

Although Gengar looked playful and Gardevoir also had a faint smile on its face, and both Pokémon looked so friendly, she somehow felt a huge pressure just when facing them.

This is not a psychological effect.

It is precisely because we know that they are ridiculously strong that we can feel this invisible sense of oppression!

"Relax." Fortunately, Xia You's voice came again at this time, "The battle hasn't started yet. As a trainer, how can your mentality be shaken? Don't you see that your Pokémon are already eager to try?"

"Eh?"

After hearing what Xia You said, Xiaoyao focused his attention on his two Pokémon. Unlike him, although they also felt the power of the Gengar and Gardevoir in front of them, none of them retreated. Instead, there was a flame called "fighting spirit" burning in their eyes!

"Hunting Papilio and Bulbasaur, you..."

Infected by the two Pokémon, Xiaoyao's eyes became determined.

"Very good, remember this feeling!" Xia You also praised, "There is nothing to be afraid of, and there is nothing to worry about. As long as you maintain this attitude and go all out in the arena, with your most trusted Pokémon by your side, you will have no regrets even if you lose in the end!"

Awakened by Xia You, Xiao Yao nodded heavily and took a deep breath: "Brother Xia You, I'm here!"

……

Bang, bang.

With two loud bangs, the Hunting Butterfly and Bulbasaur flew backwards and collided with each other.

However, as soon as they landed on the ground, they struggled again and climbed up from the ground.

After more than an hour of practice, the two Pokémon now looked bruised and gasping for breath. It was obvious that both their physical strength and willpower had reached their limits.

Looking at their opponents, Gardevoir and Gengar, they were neither blushing nor out of breath, and their condition seemed to have not changed much from before the battle began.

It’s so powerful…

Xiaoyao didn't know whether this was the first time that she had expressed such emotion in her heart.

No matter how many times you've watched them from the sidelines, you won't know how terrifying these two Pokémon are until you face them in person.

Since the beginning of the training, she has been hunting Papilio and Bulbasaur and has started a non-stop attack. Not to mention hurting them, she can't even make them consume their energy!

On the other hand, as for the hunting butterfly and Bulbasaur themselves, although Gardevoir and Gengar were in full swing, they were just defending in most cases, and even when they counterattacked, they didn't aim at the vital points, but even so, they were still in a miserable state.

But fortunately, because Gardevoir and Gengar have been able to accurately control the strength, the training has been able to continue until now.

"Hunt Swallowtail, Bulbasaur, how are you? Can you still fight? Well, let's do it again..."

Xiaoyao looked at her two Pokémon nervously. When she saw them both nodded to her, she felt relieved and was about to order an attack again. However, she had only said half of her words when other people's voices suddenly sounded from the side.

"Okay, I was wondering why I didn't see you two, it turns out you secretly came here for a date!"

Hearing the voice, Xiaoyao looked back and found that it was Xiaoxia, Xiaozhi, Xiaogang and Xiaosheng, and the one who spoke was naturally Xiaoxia!

"What...what date! Brother Xia You and I are just here to practice!"

Brother Xia You?

Xiaoxia and the other three all noticed the change in address and looked at each other subconsciously.

In fact, Xiaoxia just wanted to make a joke, but she didn't expect that something would actually explode!

However, due to Xiaoyao's thick skin, although everyone was very surprised, no one dared to point it out.

Xia You, however, was afraid that Xiao Xia would say something embarrassing again, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see what you were doing." Xiaoxia spread her hands. "Xiaoyao hasn't returned to the dormitory for a long time. We were worried that she was in danger or attacked by Harry before the game. So when we knocked on your door, we found that you were not there, so we came out to look for you. We didn't expect to see you fighting secretly when we got here!"

What secretly...

This word, which sounded obviously ambiguous, made Xiaoyao's ears slightly red.

Fortunately, there is someone here who doesn’t know how to read the atmosphere at all.

After seeing Xiaoyao's Bulbasaur and Hunting Butterfly fighting Xia You's Pokémon, Xiaozhi asked curiously, "How is your training going?"

When he mentioned this, not only Xiaoxia, Xiaogang and Xiaosheng looked at Xia You, but Xiaoyao also looked at Xia You at the same time.

To be honest, if Xiaoyao were to feel it herself, she wouldn't be able to feel anything at all.

Because she was attacking the whole time, but failed the whole time, and she had no idea how she practiced, was it good or bad?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xia You smiled and said, "Not bad. If you want to learn how to hit someone, you must first learn how to be hit. They have been able to hold on for so long without falling. At least they have improved a lot in terms of being able to take hits. Even their attacks are more coordinated. I believe there will be no problem in tomorrow's battle."

Not only Xiaoyao, but also the others were sincerely happy for Xiaoyao to get Xia You's recognition.

"That's great!" Xiaozhi's eyes lit up and he was the first to say, "Since Brother Xia You said it's okay, then it must be okay!"

In fact, the reason why Xia You dared to say such confidently was naturally because in the anime, Xiaoyao successfully won the battle against Harry. Now under his own training, there would be no problem at all.

But he still added, saying to Xiaoyao: "Of course, this is under normal circumstances. Remember, never underestimate the enemy, especially for someone like Harry who is good at using tricks. Being lax and careless is your biggest opponent!"

"I remember, and I will definitely not slack off!" Xiaoyao nodded heavily, and then said eagerly, "But I still feel a little inadequate, Brother Xia You, let's continue practicing!"

But Xia You shook his head.

"Forget it, let's stop here today." Seeing that Xiaoyao didn't understand, he smiled and said, "It's also important to combine work and rest. It's already past 10 o'clock. What you need to do now is to quickly go back to Miss Joy and adjust the status of Bulbasaur and Hunting Butterfly. Otherwise, if you waste all your energy today and become a weakling in the competition tomorrow, it will not be worth it."

After Xia You mentioned this, Xiaoyao realized that it was already so late!

I didn't feel the passage of time at all...

Although it was a bit of a pity, she was now just like Xiaoxia. She obeyed Xia Youyan's words and nodded without any hesitation.

"Brother Xia You, thank you so much for today. Don't worry, I will definitely win tomorrow and won't let you down!"

……

It was still a grand and festive arena, and it was still packed with people.

The only difference is that the audience was obviously more enthusiastic than yesterday.

Especially after seeing the fierce confrontation in the first two groups, the atmosphere was successfully warmed up, people's emotions were all mobilized, and they were looking forward to the next battle even more.

It was amidst such huge cheers that Xiaoyao and Harry appeared on the stage.

The battle between them can only be described as enemies meeting in a narrow road.

Regardless of the previous friction or the later conflict between Xia You and Harry, Xiao Yao and Harry had completely fallen out at this point, and were bound to determine who was better in such an occasion.

The battle rules are basically the same as those of the Grand Convention. The grand duel of this Grand Celebration is also limited to five minutes. The two contestants need to integrate the beauty of themselves and their Pokémon into the battle within these five minutes to win more points for themselves.

Without any courtesy or communication, Harry and Xiaoyao released their Pokémon at the same time.

Needless to say, Xiaoyao's team is exactly the one that was decided last night - Bulbasaur and Hunting Butterfly.

And there was no surprise at all about Harry's first Pokémon, it was his Dreamsong Cactus and Cursed Doll!

These two Pokémon, one is of Grass and Evil attributes, and the other is of Ghost attribute, which just echoes Harry's personality - disgusting and spooky!

Judging from the attributes alone, Xiaoyao's Bulbasaur and Hunting Butterfly are very advantageous, and both have a certain restraining effect on Mengge Cactus. The only drawback is that defeating the opponent is not the only criterion for victory, and the gorgeousness of the moves also accounts for a large proportion.

This is such a pity, otherwise, after Xia You’s training last night, Bulbasaur and Hunting Butterfly would definitely be able to win easily!

But this isn’t a Pokémon convention, it’s a grand celebration!

Seeing that both contestants were ready, Vivian raised the microphone and shouted, "Then, the third match of the gorgeous duel, between contestant Xiaoyao and contestant Harry, begins now!!!"
