Chapter 713 It’s time to find help

As night fell, Dragonite carrying Xia You and the other two landed on an unknown coast somewhere on the Hoenn continent.

After Kyogre left, they also left the island, and after more than an hour of flying, they finally returned to the land.

Ah Quan was the first to jump off Dragonite. After Xia You and Huoyan also jumped down, Xia You patted his already breathless Pokémon and praised sincerely: "Well done, you really worked hard this time!"

This trip really exhausted it.

Starting from the battle at Songshen Mountain, to finding the base of the Lava Team, and then rushing from the Lava Team's base to the small island, and also experiencing a battle, and then returning from the island to the land, fighting and rushing, with only a short rest time, no matter how full of physical strength, at this time you can no longer hold on.

But there was no other way. Not only did the Lava Team and the Ocean Team's submarines sink, but Aquan's submarine was also completely destroyed by the impact of the Cliff Sword and the Root Wave. They could only return to land in this way.

Kuailong gave a big, hearty smile and gave Xia You a thumbs up.

Although it was very tired, it was undoubtedly very happy to be able to help its trainer.

Ah Quan sat down on a rock nearby, rubbing his numb buttocks and asked, "What should we do next?"

Although the riot was quelled, she knew very well in her heart, just as Xia You had said before, as long as Scarlet Flame Pine and Water Sycamore were still there, their ambitions for the two super ancient legendary Pokémon would never disappear or end!

Looking at the two women, Xia You thought for a moment: "Next... we must pay close attention to their movements. In fact, Kyogre and Groudon are secondary. The real danger still comes from Shui Wutong and Chi Yansong. As long as we can grasp their next move, no matter which one it is, we can stop the situation from getting worse in time!"

"How can this be easy..." After hearing Xia You's words, A Quan sighed, "There are only three of us. It is impossible to monitor them in the vast ocean!"

Faced with this question, Huoyan lowered his head and remained silent, obviously thinking about what to do.

"It's actually not as complicated as you think." Xia You didn't take it to heart and pointed out the key point directly, "Although the whereabouts of Groudon and Kyogre are erratic and unpredictable, we don't need to focus on them. We just need to keep a close eye on the Red Flame Pine and the Water Sycamore."

A Quan seemed to be thinking about something, as if he had guessed something.

“…You mean?”

"I believe they are most likely safe and sound, and I also believe that the orb will eventually fall into their hands." Xia You explained, "So we must prepare for the worst. But no matter who among them wants to control Groudon or Kyogre, even with the orb in hand, they can't do it with their own strength alone. It will definitely require a large number of manpower. Therefore, we only need to keep an eye on the bases nearby to see if they have any sudden manpower transfers, and we can easily find them."

“…This is indeed a more labor-saving method.” Ah Quan’s eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement. “By monitoring the movements of the team members, we can roughly infer their actions. If we can understand them more clearly, we can even grasp every step of Chi Yansong and Shui Wutong’s next move in detail!”

At this point, she looked at Xia You and chuckled, "It seems that you have a very smart mind. You can think of this so quickly!"

Huoyan also looked at Xia You with burning eyes.

If it were an ordinary person, whether it was stopping the Red Flame Pine's conspiracy or driving away Kyogre, having just accomplished such a feat, even if they were not complacent, they would at least be happy for a while, right?

But looking at Xia You's expression, not only was he not happy at all, but he was preparing for a rainy day with a slightly frown on his face. He had already made preparations for the worst and had made countermeasures in advance for the next possible plan of his opponent!

No wonder he has achieved what he has now. Just this kind of mentality is far beyond that of ordinary trainers!

I can only say that Huoyan’s filter is too heavy.

Is Xia You really that outstanding?

Maybe, maybe not.

After all, since his travels, he has solved many difficult cases that ordinary people may never encounter in their lifetime.

But after the exchange incident, Huo Yan can be said to have completely sided with Xia You. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that he was extremely admirable and remarkable, so she subconsciously imagined him to be more "beautiful".

That’s the filter effect!

Xia You naturally didn't know what Huo Yan was thinking, but she felt that her gaze seemed somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Facing the two women's different looks, he said solemnly: "But even though I said that, I can only leave the rest to you two."

Ah Quan had completely understood his idea at this point, and couldn't help but smile and said, "So you want us to do this, right?"

"That's right, and this can only be done by you." Xia You sighed, "When it comes to understanding the Lava Team and the Ocean Team, I think no one knows better than you, and is more suitable. I believe you also know which bases of theirs are hidden nearby?"

"Of course." Ah Quan nodded proudly. "All the secrets and configurations of the Marine Team are firmly memorized in my head. Although I have left the Marine Team, it has only been a few days. Even if they want to move, it will not be done overnight. Finding the nearest secret base is a piece of cake!"

I have to say, time is a wonderful thing.

It can completely transform a person's heart and thoughts from the initial resistance and pain to the current contentment.

No wonder people often say that time is the best medicine. No matter how great the pain is, everything will eventually heal.

Now A Quan has obviously completely accepted his new identity and new life. Although he still thinks of the Ocean Team sometimes, he has already regarded himself as an outsider and is able to stay out of it with a relatively relaxed mood!

Nodding to A Quan, Xia You turned his gaze to Huo Yan.

Huoyan nodded to him without any hesitation.

"It's the same for me. Actually... many members of the Magma Team don't even know that I have left the Magma Team. If I operate properly, I can also recruit some of them and make them my spies."

"If that's the case, then I can do it, too." Without waiting for Xia You to speak, A Quan glanced at Huo Yan and said calmly, "There are many of my former followers in the Ocean Team now. I believe that as long as I bring it up, they will also secretly help me keep an eye out for Shui Wutong's whereabouts."

It can be felt that although the two women have left their respective organizations and become teammates due to his intervention, they are still very wary of each other.

This is not surprising. After all, they had been fighting for who knows how many years before he arrived. It can be said that they are incompatible. Even if they want to put aside their prejudices now, it will not be done in a short period of time.

The reason why they seem safe and sound now is entirely because I am in the middle. If I were not there, the two would definitely go their separate ways in minutes!

"That's settled then." Xia You sighed and made the decision, "Each of you go find those people you can win over. You don't have to ask them to leave the organization. Just monitor the actions of Chi Yansong and Shui Wutong. When you have any news, notify me immediately!"

"I understand." Ah Quan responded, and then asked, "We have done everything you said, so what are you going to do?"

"Me?" Xia You shook his head. "Saving the world is just my hobby. Challenging gyms and alliances is my main job. Of course I have to continue my journey!"

"You're really free." Ah Quan crossed his arms and rolled his eyes at him. "If things keep going like this, won't we become your subordinates?"

"I can't help you if you want to." After looking at her deeply, Xia You smiled and said, "If you don't want to, you can just stop here and let Shui Wutong control Kyogre and affect the whole world."

A Quan opened his mouth but said nothing. He just turned his head and no longer looked at Xia You.

Seeing that she was convinced, Xia You also said frankly: "Don't worry, what I am going to do next is not easy. With my current strength, I am still a little weak to stop Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, and even face Rayquaza. There is only Deoxys who can take action in a battle of such intensity. There is still a lot of uncertainty, so I plan to find help!"

"Oh?" Huoyan became interested and asked curiously, "Who are you going to find? Do you have a new target to conquer?"

Hearing this, A Quan secretly glanced at Xia You.

"There are two." Xia You said directly without hiding anything, "One of them is very strong, and promised to help me if I get into trouble. But unfortunately, it is far away in Kanto, and it is too far away. It is impossible to make it in time."

Needless to say, those who understand will understand, and naturally know who Xia You is talking about.

Unfortunately, just as he said, it was indeed too late to go back and forth.

"What about the other one?" Huoyan asked.

"As for the other one..." Xia You looked up at the night sky, looking at the stars, and sighed, "The other one can only go to the Sky Pillar first to look for that slight possibility."

"Sky Pillar!?"

Huoyan was in a daze for a moment, and then he remembered where that place was.

It is said that the top floor of the Sky Pillar is where Rayquaza lives!

only……

Ah Quan couldn't help but ask, "Do you know where the Sky Pillar is? As far as I know, the Sky Pillar is just a legend. Although it has been passed down for so many years, no one has ever really found its location!"

Xia You shrugged: "We should ask those Meteor Citizens. After all, they have always been guarding that place. And it just so happens that I have a little relationship with one of them!"

……

Under the starry sky, Xia You headed towards Shuijing City alone.

Next, he would go there to meet up with Xiaoxia before setting out to find the Pillar of the Sky.

After a short rest, A Quan and Huo Yan also completed their tasks as planned. I believe that if all goes well, the news of Shui Wutong and Chi Yansong will soon reach his ears.

The sea breeze blew gently on her body, and Xia You tightened her clothes.

After such a long time, he was hungry and tired.

And to be honest, he hasn't traveled alone for a long time. How should I put it, this feeling is quite nostalgic.

Fortunately, the place where he landed was not far from Shuijing City, so he didn't need to send out Dragonite again. After just half an hour's walk, he could already see the huge city with brilliant lights in the distance!

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Xia You finally pushed open the door of the Pokémon Center in Shuijing City.

Xiaoxia and Furong, who had received the news early, were waiting anxiously in the restaurant. When they saw Xia You coming back, they all stood up from their seats.

What surprised Xia You was that Xiaozhi, Xiaoyao, Xiaogang and Xiaosheng were also here!

"Brother Xia You! You're finally back!"

Xiaoxia went to meet Xia You first, and when she got closer, she could see clearly that Xia You was in a very miserable condition. Not only were his clothes wrinkled, but even his hair was messy. It was obvious that he must have suffered a lot!

Without any hesitation, she went straight to Xia You, patiently helped him tidy up his clothes, and took off the small shell hanging behind him.

After patting Xiaoxia's head, Xia You nodded to Furong, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and then looked at Xiaozhi and the others, wondering, "Why are you here?"

Xiaozhi scratched his head: "We came here with Xiaoyao to attend the Shuijing Gorgeous Conference. I didn't expect to see Xiaoxia here. I also learned the cause and effect of the matter from her. How is it, Brother Xiayou, is everything going well?"

"Let's sit down first." Xia You sat on the sofa at the dining table. After leaning back, he felt so tired that his bones seemed to fall apart. He looked around and saw that there was no one else in the restaurant except them. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving."

"I'll ask Miss Joy to get you some dinner!"

When Xiaoxia heard Xia You say she was hungry, she immediately strode towards the bar. If someone who didn't know the truth saw her at this moment, they would definitely think she was this man's girlfriend or sister!

Xia You nodded, took a sip of the warm water handed to him by Xiaoyao to moisten his dry throat, and then told him what happened after he left Songshen Mountain.

However, he concealed the story of Huoyan and Aquan, and only said that when they were chasing the Red Flame Pine, they were attacked by the Marine Team, and then they experienced a battle between Groudon and Kyogre, and because of that battle, both orbs were lost.

When she heard the news, even though she was mentally prepared, Furong still sighed.
