"Thank you so much!!"
After the magic show ended, the beautiful magician specially kept Xia You and expressed her gratitude in person.
In fact, she didn't need to explain anything. May and Cheryl, who had just walked next to Xia You, both understood what was going on.
It's nothing more than Xia You's help.
I just didn't expect that after a street performance, this beautiful magician who looked quite professional on the surface would have so many accidents at the same time!
This is too inappropriate...
"It's nothing." Xia You shook his head and said softly, "Don't take it to heart, it's just a simple effort."
"Although it is a small thing for you, but for me, it can save my mistake." Although Xia You said so, this beautiful magician is not the kind of person who is ungrateful, so she bowed again, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Jinghui, I am Pokémon Magician."
They have heard of magicians.
But Pokémon Magician, this is the first time they have heard of it.
But you don't need to think about it to know that this so-called Pokémon Magician is nothing more than connecting Pokémon with magic, so it's no big deal.
Out of politeness, May and Cheryl also introduced their names at this time. Seeing Jinghui look at him again, Xia You could only nod to her. "I am Xia You."
In fact, it was just a chance encounter. I originally thought they would be separated, but unexpectedly they actually crossed paths.
All I can say is that Pokémon Journeys is really full of surprises!
Under Jinghui's persistent invitation, several people went to a nearby coffee shop, where Jinghui treated them to a cup of coffee and some desserts.
In the small talk, we got to know each other a little better.
It turns out that this woman named Jinghui has just become a magician and is traveling around to practice. This can be seen from the fact that her Pokémon is not very obedient and the mechanism is malfunctioning.
In fact, in the performance just now, there is a remote control mechanism in the hat handed to Xia You. As long as Jinghui presses the controller on the short stick, the mechanism in the hat will open the Poké Ball hidden inside, thereby releasing a Pidgey.
But obviously, there was an error in the connection between the remote control and the mechanism, so Xia You had to save the situation by himself.
As for the Chingling that escaped first, let alone Jinghui, it hasn't been very obedient since Jinghui conquered it!
Even when talking about it, Jinghui sighed.
But speaking of Pokémon...
Jinghui glanced to the side, where Gengar was licking ice cream.
"Xia You, why did your Gengar come out of the shadow? And it clearly didn't get your order. How did it know to cooperate with your performance?"
This is also the question Jinghui has always hidden in his heart.
"What's weird about this? This is the tacit understanding between Pokémon and Pokémon Trainer!" The person who answered her was not Xia You, but Gengar myself saw it grinning and said to Jinghui, "I've been staying in the shadow, so I don't need anything Poké Ball at all. I can come out whenever I want!"
"You... you can talk!?"
Seeing that the Gengar in front of me can actually speak human language, Jinghui is beyond surprised.
Come to think of it, in her travels, she has never interacted with Pokémon who can speak human language!
"Oh, you are indeed young. Are you shocked when you meet a talking Pokémon? You are really short-sighted!" Gengar curled his lips, but when it came to this, it remembered something again, no Youdao said, "Hey, the performance just now was great, wasn't it? It's much better than a Pidgey flying out of your hat! If you still want to make people exclaim like that, you might as well find a Ghost-type Pokémon!"
Needless to say, such a proposal really moved Jinghui's heart.
Compared with common magic performances, some novel performance methods can break people's conventional impressions and will definitely be more popular!
"Ghost Pokémon..." She thought for a moment and knew that several people were Pokémon Trainer, so she asked for advice, "Then where should I look for them?"
"Where to look for it?" May said without thinking, "Of course it's a cemetery, a haunted house or a dark forest."
"This..."
Jinghui is a little hesitant. After all, she is just a magician, not Pokémon Trainer. She is not very courageous. If she goes to such a dangerous place...
At this time, Cheryl seemed to see her concerns and suggested. "Since you have the idea of subduing Ghost Pokémon, why not go to Solaceon Town and have a look."
"Solaceon Town?" Jinghui turned to look at her, "Is there a haunted house there too?"
"Haunted houses are out of the question." Cheryl smiled, "There is a Lost Tower in Solaceon Town, and countless Pokémons are buried in it. Therefore, there are many Ghost-type Pokémons. As long as you get there and search carefully, you will definitely find something!"
Jinghui's eyes moved slightly.
It sounds like, compared to cemeteries and haunted houses, this Lost Tower seems to be a good choice!
It seems... I need to change my destination a little bit.
Meeting the magician Jinghui was just a small episode for Xia You and the others.
Although they had only been in contact for a short time, I have to say that this beautiful magician still left a deep impression on them.
After saying goodbye to her, the three of them headed south, continued their journey, and soon left the town.
After walking for another whole day, just after breakfast on the second day, they saw a beautiful lake in the distance.
This is an extremely wide lake!
In fact, it was not on their only path. They just happened to come down the hillside and happened to see Water Surface in the distance, which was as calm as a mirror. Under the sunlight and the sparkling microwaves, they unconsciously set their way to the lake.
After all, being able to enjoy the lake view up close in Pokémon Journeys and play Water Sport can be regarded as a kind of mood spice.
After looking at the map, they realized that they had arrived at Lake Valor without knowing it!
Speaking of Lake Valor, people from Sinnoh Region may have never been here, but they have definitely heard of its name.
As we all know, in this lake lives one of the Lake Guardianss - Azelf!
That is to say, Xia You and the others saw one corner of that triangle at Celestic Town Museum a few days ago!
Of course, legends are just legends after all.
For such a long time, Pokémon Trainer has come here every day to look for Legendary Pokémon. It can be described as an endless stream. Everyone thinks that they are the favored one of heaven, so they want to try their luck. But unfortunately, until now, the legend is still just a legend, but no one has seen the shadow of Azelf.
It's so big here!
Moreover, the lake is quite deep, and the nearby terrain is complex. Looking for a Pokémon here is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
There are even rumors that Azelf actually left here long ago.
But no matter what, even after so many years, there is still no way to change Lake Valor's status in people's hearts as one of the three major lakes!
When the three of them arrived, they originally thought it was a simple wild lake, but they didn't expect to see modern buildings here!
As soon as I looked around, I saw many white buildings standing on a peninsula by the lake. There were hundreds of these houses, so tightly packed together, like a small city. In other words, Resort would be more appropriate to describe it.
May rubbed his eyes. "It's so remote here, why are there so many buildings...?"
"It should be some kind of tourist resort hotel."
Xia You didn't feel too surprised and answered her casually. After all, Lake Valor was such a big gimmick and the scenery was so beautiful. How could those capital remain indifferent?
You don't need to think about it to know that they have not missed such a huge cake and have taken a fancy to the huge flow of people, so they have the current development.
There is even a Small Dock on the river bank, and on the pier, a passenger ship is parked there quietly!
If it were another inland lake, how could it be treated like this?
Walking towards this small city, Xia You's attention was focused on a large stadium by the water.
From the appearance alone, it is not difficult to tell that this should be a large venue for some kind of event. As for why it was built here...
Just in a daze, he remembered something.
It turns out that this time has come...
And just as he thought, when he entered this Resort, he couldn't help but be surprised again when he saw so many Pokémon Trainer, May and Cheryl on the street.
"Are these people... all here to look for Azelf?"
"Of course not."
Xia You raised his hand and pointed at the billboard next to him. When May and Cheryl looked in the direction he pointed, they finally understood the reason.
"Wallace Cup!?" After seeing the words and patterns on it clearly, May couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, "This is...Pokémon Contest!?"
In fact, Pokémon Contest May has participated a lot, so the ordinary Pokémon Contest would not have surprised her so much, but now this Wallace Cup, why does it sound... so familiar?
She hesitated and asked tentatively, "Xia You, this Wallace, isn't it the Gym Leader and Champion from Hoenn?"
"That's right, that's him." Xia You nodded, but seeing Cheryl confused, he explained again, "Wallace was originally Gym Leader of Hoenn Region Sootopolis Gym, and he was also a top Coordinator, and even more so Pokémon Champion, it can be said that he has extremely high talents and achievements in combat and performance, and he is also called Water Prince by fans."
"That's amazing." Cheryl was a little surprised, "This is the first time I know that there is someone who can stand at the top of both tracks! So, this Wallace Cup is named after him?"
"No." Xia You smiled, "It should be said that this Wallace Cup was organized by him!"
"He held it?" May and Cheryl were both a little surprised, "In a place like this?"
Xia You shrugged, and his tone was somewhat meaningful. "Actually, once you reach his level, as long as you want to do it, some things will be easy, and that's not all. Don't underestimate this Wallace Cup. It is not just fixed here, but will It tours around the world, and the Water Column Medal produced is even more recognized by Grand Festival Council, and can even be used in Grand Festival in any region, replacing other Medal, which can be said to have extremely high gold content!"
"Is it so awesome?" May was a little stunned, and then he remembered something and couldn't help but ask, "Xia You, if you don't travel anymore in the future, with all the achievements you have achieved, can you do the same?"
"Who knows." Xia You shook his head, "That will all happen in the future."
Now that we have met Wallace Cup this time, no matter what the reason is, May will obviously not miss it.
However, after a few people inquired about it, they found out that although the Wallace Cup competition was about to start, it would not be held until the morning of five days later.
"Five days..."
The three of them got together again and took out the map to discuss.
Xia You traced the path. "Looking from the map, it takes less than four days to get back and forth from Sunyshore City. If we don't delay, we can come back to participate in Wallace Cup after challenging Sunyshore Gym."
"Isn't time a bit tight?" Cheryl worried, "What if something happens, will we miss this conference?"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but turn to look at May and suggested. "I think so, why don't you just stay here, so that no matter what happens, you can participate on time, and for such an important game, don't you need to prepare?"
"It's okay." May listened to her suggestion and just shook his head, "It's okay for me. After all, it's really too long for me to wait here for five days, so let me go with you."
"Then let's go together." Seeing May insisting, Xia You said without saying anything, "I'll let Gardevoir mark this place first in a while. If there is any delay in the middle, then use Teleport to rush over!"
I have to say that this is a powerful Psychic type Pokémon, which brings them a sense of security.
For Gardevoir, it is not difficult to use Teleport to take a few people from this city to another city not too far away.
After a few people made an agreement, they went straight to the Contest Hall here without any delay. They helped May register in advance to avoid being overwhelmed by the time. Then they walked all the way east, leaving Resort and heading straight to Sunyshore City.
However, because there was still plenty of time, even though they were in a hurry, they were not too anxious. Instead, they followed their usual pace, stopping and walking, and did not disturb the previous rhythm because they wanted to participate in Wallace Cup.
Even when they reached a forest, Xia You found time to easily defeat a confident novice Pokémon Trainer with Chimchar in just three minutes!
"Damn it!!"
The defeated little boy ran away with tears in his eyes.
But when they saw Xia You treating a newcomer without mercy, May and Cheryl shook their heads in amusement.
"Xia You, don't you know how to show mercy?" May snickered, "Didn't you see that Pokémon Trainer was psychologically traumatized just now? I'm afraid he has never lost so easily before!"
Taking back Chimchar, Xia You spread his hands. "You don't blame me for this. It was him who challenged me. Since it is a battle initiated on his own initiative, he must be prepared for defeat. I am also helping him realize that in this world, not everyone revolves around newcomers."
"Eh?" May raised his eyebrows, "I always feel like you are alluding to who?"
"You're overthinking." Xia You chuckled, "I'm not talking about Ash."
"You admitted it!!"
While a few people were talking and laughing, there was a sudden noise in the woods nearby.
At first they thought it was Wild Pokémon, but the next second, a boy of 17 or 18 years old jumped out from behind the bush.
The young man is very strong, with a confident look in his eyes. He looks like the kind of person who has been active in Wilderness all year round.
I saw that he was wearing a familiar red half coat with black clothes underneath and a pair of black shorts underneath. On his right arm, he was wearing a Capture Styler!
Not only Xia You saw it, but even May was a little surprised.
"This outfit... is it Pokémon Ranger?"
"Oh?" The young man looked at May, "Do you know us?"
May was about to speak when he saw the bushes behind the boy shaking again, and then, a young man blue-haired girl dressed similarly jumped out from there.
"Miss Hinata!?"
Hearing someone calling his name, Girl looked up and saw May and Xia You. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"Miss May? Xia You? Why are you here!?"
That's right, what appeared in front of Xia You and May was none other than Pokémon Ranger Hinata, whom they had dealt with before at Kanto!
To be honest, although Hinata mentioned that she would also come to Sinnoh when we parted last time, we never expected that we would meet here. It was indeed such a coincidence.
When several people looked at each other, it was the young man's turn to be surprised.
His eyes wandered over several people, and then he looked at Hinata: "What? Do you know each other?"
"Of course!" Hinata looked at Xia You, excitement flashed in his eyes, and then introduced to the boy next to him, "This is Xia You, a very amazing person! Not only International Police Special Investigator, and even holds the championship in three regional competitions: Kanto, Johto and Hoenn!"
"Are you the man named Xia You!?" Maybe he heard Hinata mention it before, but when he heard that the man in front of him turned out to be Xia You, excitement flashed in his eyes, "It's great to finally meet this man. After I heard about your deeds before, I have always wanted to fight with you!"
Xia You looked at Hinata in confusion.
Hinata also looked embarrassed and quickly explained, "This is Chuangyi, our Chief Pokémon Ranger. I told him too much about you before, so he always wanted to discuss with you..."
Hearing this, Xia You already understood.
It turns out to be a strong man among Pokémon Ranger!
In fact, the so-called Chief Pokémon Ranger is also called Elite Guardian.
It refers to those people whose strength and ability are second to none among Ranger Pokémon League. It can be said that they are the top combat power of the entire Ranger Pokémon League!
Unlike the general Pokémon Ranger of a regional nature like Hinata, Chief Pokémon Ranger can use more advanced cursors, the tasks it receives are more difficult and dangerous, and it has enough judgment to make its own decisions. It is almost a unique existence.
And the entire Ranger Pokémon League combined, Chief Pokémon Ranger is only a dozen. The young man named Chuangyi in front of him can become one of them at such an age, which shows that he is indeed very powerful!
As for why he wants to compete with himself?
Come to think of it, I also want to personally experience whether my Champion is worthy of the name.
Haha, you are really full of energy!
