Chapter 745: Separation, Investigation and Expectation

The next morning, Xia You was woken up by Xiaoxia.

When he opened his eyes sleepily, he saw Xiaoxia had finished washing and dressing herself neatly. She was kneeling beside him, scratching his cheek with a piece of her hair.

It's itchy, but also very comfortable.

"Brother Xia You, you have a very low alcohol tolerance." Seeing Xia You wake up, Xiao Xia covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "You only drank a few glasses yesterday, but you have been sleeping until now!"

Alas, you little girl, you really don’t know anything…

He glanced at the time and it was already 7:20 in the morning. Considering his usual schedule, he did get up a little late today.

But there was nothing he could do about it. He had been daydreaming for most of the night and had hardly slept the entire night. He only took a short nap until almost dawn. He went to bed late, so naturally he got up even later. It really had nothing to do with the alcohol.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell Xiaoxia all this in detail.

When he looked around again, he saw that Caidou and Xiaoxia's bedding had been folded and put away, but apart from him and Xiaoxia, there was no one else in the room, and he didn't know where Caidou had gone.

I don't know when the rain outside the window stopped. I can smell the faint aroma of food floating in the air. Needless to say, their breakfast must be ready.

After getting themselves ready, Xia You and Xiao Xia walked out of the room. Just as they stepped into the yard, they saw a middle-aged man in work clothes climbing up to the roof to repair something under the command of the old lady.

Cai Dou was also standing in the yard practicing her fighting skills. You could see that with every punch and kick she made, one could hear a sound of breaking through the air.

Seeing that she was covered in sweat, I knew she must have been practicing for a long time.

Really hardworking...

I wish I could have her perseverance and persistence.

But unfortunately, I am a lazy guy. If I had this time, I might as well lie in bed for a while.

Next to her ear, Xiaoxia was still looking at the roof. Seeing the old man repairing the roof, she explained to Xia You, fearing that she didn't know the cause and effect. "Hehe, you don't know yet, do you? It rained heavily last night, and the room we live in is leaking. Miss Caidou and I were almost soaked!"

"Really?" Xia You could only pretend that he knew nothing. "I slept so soundly that I didn't even feel the rain."

Hearing his voice, Caidou in the yard realized that Xia You had also walked out of the room. She glanced at him and paused her punching movement. After pausing for two or three seconds, Caidou continued her exercise as if nothing had happened.

This also made Xia You hesitate, and the words he wanted to say hello were stuck in his mouth.

Because he was guilty, he was able to keenly notice the change in Caidou.

This also gave him a sudden shock!

Hiss…what’s going on?

Did she notice something?

This is indeed very possible. Now that I think about it, Caidou didn't drink any alcohol last night, and he touched her in the middle of the night. It's impossible for her to be unaware of it!

But if that was true, why didn't she react at all?

Even if you stop it or scold yourself, it would be fine!

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

But what is the attitude now?

Seeing the subtle atmosphere between the two, Xiaoxia, who was standing by, looked at them suspiciously.

Strange, why does the atmosphere seem a little off?

Out of woman's intuition, she instinctively felt something.

Did something happen between these two people while I was sleeping last night?

But this is impossible. I was right next to him and I didn't hear any sound at night. I was the one who woke Brother Xia You up.

Probably because he was shy.

As she thought about it, she felt more and more that this was the case.

After all, they changed the place to sleep last night, and unlike Hei Tian, ​​they could see each other's faces as soon as they opened their eyes. It was inevitable that these two people would feel a little uncomfortable.

……

When Caidou took a cold shower and came to the Japanese-style room, Xia You and Xiaoxia were already sitting at the dining table waiting for her.

Seeing her sit down, the two of them started eating.

Just like last night, today's breakfast is also delicious. But don't be fooled by its simple appearance. The simpler the ingredients, the more it tests the chef's ability.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Xiaoxia had no choice but to ask, "Ms. Caidou, where are you going next?"

After a night's rest, the three of them set out on their journey again.

This is the fate of trainers, which makes it impossible for them to stay in one place for too long. There will always be unknown adventures waiting for them.

Xia You and Xiao Xia will naturally challenge the last gym next, and Cai Dou, after knowing that her strength cannot be improved here, seems to be going to other places to find the next training ground.

"I should leave Hoenn." Caidou said without even looking up, "There are famous fighting trainers here, and I have already challenged them all. It's time to leave for other areas."

Hearing her words, Xia You couldn't help but feel relieved.

After all, he felt guilty and could no longer face this woman calmly as before.

It’s okay not to see it for the time being, at least the awkwardness will slowly dissipate with time, and maybe when we meet next time, we will have forgotten this experience.

"Eh? Are you leaving now?" Xiaoxia was a little surprised. After a night of contact, her relationship with Caidou naturally became closer. She said reluctantly, "I thought you would at least stay until the end of the Caiyou Conference? This is really a pity. You won't be able to see Brother Xiayou continue to win the championship!"

"Hey, hey..." Hearing this, Xia You couldn't help but interrupt her, "Don't say that the championship seems to have been decided for me. Hoenn is not like Kanto and Johto. There are still many masters here. I can only guarantee that I won't fail. As for winning the championship, it's really not that easy."

After breakfast, the three packed their bags, left the B&B and came to the town’s port.

Over the course of one night, the residents who had left returned one after another. Compared to when they first arrived, the town looked much more vibrant, and the streets were no longer deserted.

After watching Caidou board the passenger ship heading in another direction, Xia You and Xiaoxia also boarded their ship.

As the whistle sounded, the passenger ship slowly sailed away from the port. The two men leaned against the fence, each with their own thoughts.

However, just as they were leaving the island, the sea area far southeast of Green Ridge Island also welcomed uninvited guests.

Boom boom boom…

With the roar of the engine, a helicopter with the 'Jade TV' logo printed on it flew from a distance to the place where Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre once fought.

In the helicopter, the journalist duo that Xia You had seen in Zijin City Park were sitting in the back seat, craning their necks to look down.

Dai, the cameraman carrying a camera, looked at it for a while and couldn't help but ask Mary, the reporter beside him, "Is this really the place? Didn't they say there were several islands? Why can we only see some shallows?"

"Idiot!" Mary said helplessly, "It's right here. The shallows you see now are the islands that used to be there. They were just flattened by some force!"

When the helicopter landed on a relatively flat shallow beach, the two men jumped out of the helicopter.

Dai took out the satellite map and compared it for a long time, but he still couldn't match this place with the island on the map.

"I say..." he asked doubtfully, "Why did we come here from afar?"

"Did you listen carefully? Didn't I tell you that before?" Glancing at him, Mary sighed, "If we want to return to the studio and improve our status in the station, explosive news and the truth are what we need to dig out! Okay, let's investigate quickly. I spent a lot of effort to ask someone to bring us here, and I don't want to go back empty-handed!"

Unlike ordinary people, as TV reporters, they are well-informed. They know that the extreme weather that affected most of Hoenn this time broke out from here and spread to the surrounding areas. And it is certain that the cause of this incident was not the weather changes caused by rare air pressure and plate tremors as the official propaganda said. There must be someone or Pokémon fighting here, which affected the entire Hoenn!

As for what kind of Pokémon has such power that can affect the entire Hoenn continent, needless to say, it must be the legendary Pokémon - Groudon and Kyogre!

Because time was running out, the two stopped talking and began searching the nearby area for any useful clues.

You know what, after searching for this long, they actually found something!

Fragments of the hull, the lost uniforms of the Ocean Team and the Lava Team, and various traces of the battle...

I even saw the international police armband!

All these clues told them that this was indeed not what the official announcement had said, but rather an unknown battle involving two evil organizations!

Even the international police got involved!

This discovery also made them very excited.

Even Mary could imagine what a sensation it would cause when she made the truth public!

Just think about it, the truth that can be covered up by the international police must be extremely explosive!

And as someone who has uncovered the truth, I will definitely be valued by the station, and promotion and salary increase, and fame is just around the corner!

Excited, the two took some photos, and after sealing the clues, they continued forward, trying to find some more crucial evidence.

After all, these things in hand can only prove that a battle did take place here, and that this matter is indeed related to Team Aqua and Team Magma. But to say that it is related to Groudon and Kyokara, or to define the weather changes as being related to these two legendary Pokémon, is still a bit too far-fetched.

They searched carefully, not leaving out any corner, but after searching for a long time, they found nothing.

It was not until they arrived at the place where Xia You had stayed that they made a new discovery.

"This is……"

Looking at the obvious footprints on the ground and the relatively intact ground formed after being protected by mysterious power, the two quickly came to a new conclusion after careful analysis!

"Someone seems to be commanding the Pokémon to fight Team Magma and Team Aqua!" Marie said with bright eyes, "Or we can boldly guess that this person is even fighting Kyogre and Groudon!"

"This is a bit too unbelievable..." Dai was still relatively conservative. "I really can't imagine who has such strong power to fight two legendary Pokémon! Could it be the Four Heavenly Kings?"

"The Four Heavenly Kings..." Mary touched her chin. Because she didn't know much about the battle, she didn't know the true strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, but she knew that they were one of the most powerful people in Hoenn, so she nodded slowly, "Indeed, only they have such power, and according to the trajectory and information, it seems that the most likely Four Heavenly Kings to appear here is only Genji."

Genji?

Although Dai also agreed with this point of view, he still felt that something was wrong.

He raised his head and looked forward, just in time to see the remaining debris of the island that had been completely wiped out by the battle between the Cliff Sword and the Root Wave.

By comparing these with the maps previously taken by satellites, it is not difficult to imagine that there once was a huge island here!

But now, the island has completely disappeared, as if it had been wiped out. But what kind of terrifying power could do this?

Even if they are the Four Heavenly Kings, can they really stop a fight of this level?

Although he was confused, he didn't say anything. Instead, he and Mary bent down and continued to look for the key evidence.

But after searching for a long time, they still found nothing.

All I can say is that they were a step late after all.

After more than a day of wind and rain, most of the traces had been washed away by the sea. What could they find?

The two came here with great expectations, but after wasting several hours, they had to leave empty-handed.

……

The ship that left Gangga Island finally docked in Shuijing City after sailing for nearly a day.

Compared to flying in the sky, the speed of taking a boat is undoubtedly very slow, but it is leisurely and allows them to enjoy the journey in an extremely comfortable way without being in a hurry.

As soon as he got off the boat, he received a call from Kuroda.

Regarding the meteorite key stone obtained from the Pillar of the Sky, Kuroda has lived up to the commission and has completed the production.

I have to say, they are really efficient!

Even before the meteorite key was mailed to the Devin company building, Kuroda had already gathered the necessary personnel, and the moment the meteorite key arrived, it was sent to the studio. These people worked overtime and completed the task in just over a day.

This also made Xia You full of expectations for the meteorite key stone.

If, as the rumors say, the meteorite key stone contains cosmic energy, doesn't that mean that when your Pokémon mega evolves again in the future, it will become stronger than other people's mega evolved Pokémon?

Of course, this is just his guess.

He still doesn't know whether this meteorite key stone is as magical as the rumors say, or whether it is no different from an ordinary key stone, or whether it has no effect on ordinary Pokémon at all. He will only know all this after he gets the meteorite key stone!
