I can only say that I am worthy of being able to become a being like Ninja in the future. Froakie's Jump ability is really outstanding.
What looks like two frog legs that are not very strong can actually explode with such powerful power in an instant!
And that's not all. While jumping into the air, Froakie grabbed back and pulled out a large handful of Bubble from his back, and then threw it at Umbreon!
But this move is okay against Wild Pokémon, or Pokémon in the hands of Pokémon Trainer, a newcomer who has just embarked on the journey. It can have an unexpected effect, but it is still too reluctant to deal with Umbreon.
Although Bubble was very fast, Umbreon was still able to distinguish the attack from the splash of water. He just jumped to the side and easily dodged the counterattack from Froakie.
However, Xia You doesn't seem to want to defeat this Froakie so quickly.
But I want to see how this Shiny Froakie can perform in actual combat.
Stopping Umbreon from wanting to defeat it directly, under the command of Xia You, Umbreon was in the distance and used Dark Pulse again.
The same black energy wave as before swept out again, reaching Froakie almost instantly.
This time, facing such an attack, Froakie spat out Bubble to resist, but as soon as those Bubbles were exported, they were all crushed by Dark Pulse, and they continued to hit Froakie.
Suffering from this attack, Guagua Bubble was directly knocked away and fell heavily to the ground.
"The level difference is too big..."
Seeing this scene, May could only shake his head and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
I finally understand why Ash leaves the previous Pokémon behind in Professor Oak's Laboratory no matter where he goes.
If we really bring those old lineups, there will be no pressure at all, such as conquering Wild Pokémon and challenging Gym!
For Serena, this was the first time for her to see this kind of conquering battle with her own eyes. While it felt fresh, it also seemed to have opened a door for New World.
Especially the calm and confident look on Xia You's face, as if everything was under control, was something she had never seen before.
It seems that travel has really changed Xia You a lot.
After being knocked down by Dark Pulse, it was obvious that Froakie's physical strength could no longer support it, but despite this, it still stood up slowly with the help of Guts.
"Not bad." Seeing that it still didn't choose to escape, Xia You nodded approvingly, "Even though it is scarred, it still has such a fighting spirit. It seems that it is indeed a good seedling and is qualified to be my partner!"
In fact, to make a digression, even if Froakie chooses to run away now, Xia You will not say anything.
On the contrary, he would even say things like, 'In the face of a strong enemy, he did not choose to fight head-on, but he seems to be very good at assessing the situation.'
In short, no matter what kind of character this Froakie is, under the skin of this Shiny, Xia You will actually tolerate it to the greatest extent!
The main thing is a truth!
And it is true that as Xia You said, each personality has its own benefits.
Those with Guts and belligerence will naturally be able to exert stronger power in battle and fight until the last moment.
And those who are timid, alert, withdrawn, sloppy, and even Oblivious will also have other performances on the battlefield, each with its own advantages.
The most important thing is that the way Xia You is raised is like that. He will formulate corresponding strategies and fighting methods based on the personality of each Pokémon, and will not just pursue a single strength.
It is precisely because of this that most of his Pokémon are so strong!
Back to the present.
Shiny Froakie turned a deaf ear to Xia You's admiration. In fact, all its attention is now focused on the black Umbreon in front of it!
For it, which has been living here leisurely, this Umbreon is the most powerful opponent it has encountered at this time!
There is no one!
It was even more terrifying than the most powerful Greninja in the pond where I once lived!
However, although it is powerful, it also arouses Froakie's fighting spirit.
It called out with a 'croak', and then rushed towards Umbreon without hesitation!
Then...
There is no more.
Just like what May said, the difference in strength between the two Pokémon is indeed quite obvious.
Although I got the order from Xia You and wanted to touch the strength of this Froakie, because Dark Pulse and Froakie just now were already scarred, when they fought in close quarters, Umbreon even bumped so lightly, Froakie had already fallen to the ground...
This also made Xia You smile bitterly and shake his head.
Well, no matter what, it was finally done.
Without hesitation, he took out an empty Poké Ball and threw it towards the unconscious Shiny Froakie.
And with a ray of red light, Shiny Froakie was put into the ball. Without even shaking, the switch of Poké Ball was completely dimmed.
"Congratulations, Xia You!"
May was all smiles, and even Serena was smiling and applauding gently.
"You two don't want to congratulate me." Xia You said helplessly, "I just conquered one Wild Pokémon. If you don't know, you thought I was the king of this river."
"It's not an ordinary Wild Pokémon." May shook Metronome, "It's a Shiny Pokémon, and didn't you just say it? It's one of Kalos Region's Starter Pokémons, so it's even more precious!"
"Haha, that's true! Then let Auntie Saki cook a few more dishes tonight and celebrate!"
After playing outside for a day, after returning home and having dinner, May and Serena took a shower in the bathroom together, and then returned to Serena's room.
Sitting on the bed, the two took off their bathrobes, first applied a layer of body lotion, and finally put on pajamas.
At this moment, looking at Serena's fair and tender neck, and remembering her fair and tender body that he had just seen in the bathroom, May couldn't help but feel a little envious.
"Your skin is very good, and it looks very white, unlike me, which has been so tanned by the sun."
"It's not black, it's just a natural wheat color." Serena shook his head and said with a smile, "Actually, I also practice riding Rhyhorn under the sun every day, just because I wear a long-sleeved riding uniform, which blocks everything. And the most important thing is to wipe it with something before going to bed to maintain it!"
"I usually don't pay much attention to maintenance. After all, I am traveling and I mainly focus on simplicity, so I don't bring many things..."
Hearing her talk about travel, Serena sighed, and seeing her like this, May was a little confused. He was about to ask, but Serena looked over at this moment.
"Actually, I'm really envious. I envy you for traveling with Xia You."
"Then why don't you come along?" May said matter-of-factly, "Isn't it very simple to go to the doctor here, get a Starter Pokémon, then take your luggage and go with Xia You?"
"It's not that simple..." Serena sighed again, "As you can see, my mother is a retired Rhyhorn knight, so she has always wanted to train me to be an equally good rider. She is full of expectations every day, hoping that I can inherit her career one day in the future."
"What about your own thoughts?" May couldn't help but ask.
"I... I really can't bear to let her down." Serena said in a low tone, "And once we leave home, my mother will have to live alone."
So that's the reason...
Regarding this situation, May also didn't know what to do.
After all, in her family, both her father Norman and her mother Mitsuko are very liberal people.
Especially Norman is a Gym Leader and a very strong Pokémon Trainer, so I couldn't be more supportive of him traveling.
From this point of view, only when Serena really finds his dream, or really wants to travel with Xia You, and truly makes up his mind, will he bravely take that step.
After staying at Saki's house for three days, when Xia You received a call from Ash, saying that he had also successfully challenged Brandon and was returning to Pallet Town to rest, Xia You knew that it was time for him to leave.
He told Saki and Serena the news that he was leaving. Saki was okay. Although it felt like time passed so fast and a few days flew by, he also knew that Xia You had something serious to do, so he didn't say anything, let alone try to stay.
I just left a feeling like "It's rare that after a few days of excitement, it's time to live a quiet life again".
Only Serena had a strong sense of reluctance in his eyes, and even secretly blushed several times in one day!
Seeing all this, May could only sigh helplessly.
Through these few days of contact, she had already figured out Serena's feelings for Xia You. Although she didn't know what happened between the two, she had a pretty good guess.
The only difference between him and Misty is that because of Saki's expectations, Serena could never give up his mother's expectations, leave this home, and travel with Xia You.
This also made her feel no jealousy or other emotions between love rivals towards Serena, only intolerance and a trace of... heartache.
After all, compared to myself and Misty, Serena was really tortured!
But even so, so what?
Xia You's journey will undoubtedly continue, and it is impossible to stay here forever.
She could only feel sorry for Serena in her heart.
Alas, Serena, you'd better make up your mind quickly.
Otherwise, your most cherished and favorite Xia You will be taken away by us sooner or later!
In the early morning of the fourth day after returning to Kalos, Xia You and May boarded the bus under the reluctant farewell of Serena, left Vaniville Town, followed the way they came, and arrived at the international airport of Lumiose City again.
And here, they also boarded the flight to Sinnoh Region and flew to the new continent.
Sinnoh, located northeast of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn Region.
It consists of the main island, the northeastern island where Battle Zone is located, and the larger Small Island in the east, and is the same as Mt. Silver connecting Kanto and Johto. A towering mountain range named 'Mt. Coronet' is located in the center of Sinnoh Region and extends to the north and south, dividing the entire Sinnoh Region into two parts: the east and the west. There are even continuous ice and snow areas in the north.
Just a few hundred years ago, this area was still called Hisui. Later, after a series of changes, it was finally called Sinnoh.
Compared with the areas we have visited before, the terrain here is more steep, the terrain features are very extensive, the roads are complex, and the fresh water resources are abundant. But it is precisely these characteristics that make Xia You full of more expectations for this trip.
The plane landed slowly at the Jubilife City airport.
As the place with the most developed technology in Sinnoh Region and the largest city in Sinnoh Region, Jubilife City takes over the function of connecting flights with other regions, and naturally becomes the first city for Xia You and May.
Unfortunately, despite being so prosperous, there is no official Gym in this city.
But Xia You doesn't care about this. After all, after arriving in a new continent, he needs to adjust his lineup first.
After leaving the airport, the two of them first found Pokémon Center.
Just when May was on the phone with his family, he came to the transmitter and arranged and exchanged the Pokémon he was carrying.
Thanks to Professor Cerise, Xia You can carry 12 Poké Ball, which is undoubtedly very convenient for his travels. He can also carry more Pokémon than other Pokémon Trainer, which also gives him enough space to carry the lineup he needs.
First of all, of course, Gardevoir and Gengar are always with us.
These two Pokémon are his unshakable lineup. One is his Starter Pokémon, and the other is a translator and spy. He is also the ace in his Regular Team, so naturally he cannot leave them.
Secondly, there are Deoxys and Black Rayquaza.
These two Pokémon, after Legendary Birds and Legendary Beasts are all stored, are now undoubtedly his highest-end combat power, used to deal with various large-scale wars, including but not limited to fighting other Legendary Pokémon, and confronting evil organizations. It can be said that it is the Trump Card that he relies on.
The remaining eight Poké Ball are the adjustable number.
In the end, Xia You decided on his lineup.
The newly evolved Umbreon, the huge Snowman Snorlax with the smell of snowflakes, Shiny Froakie, these three Pokémon will become his main partners in this area, Charizard, the returning king, and, who has grown up but still has some shortcomings Metagross, Milotic and Blaziken, Dragonite has been reduced to the second mount. Although he will continue to travel with him and continue to hone his own strength, there is a possibility of being replaced at any time.
Even those Venusaur, Blastoise, etc. who are far away from Cerise Park will return for a limited time according to different needs.
In short, in one sentence, while cultivating the new lineup, Xia You also did not forget to train these old lineups, and the main thing is to be able to share the rain and dew!
