Chapter 746 The Last Gym

After asking Kuroda for help and asking him to mail the meteorite key stone directly to Caiyou City, Xia You and Xiaoxia rested in Shuijing City for another night before setting off again for Yinyu City.

While resting at the Pokémon Center, Xia You took the opportunity to change his lineup. He sent the Three Sacred Birds, Raikou, and Suicune to Nancy, leaving only Deoxys and Black Rayquaza as the legendary Pokémon in his hands. He then sent Red Gyarados and Crystal Steelix to Sakuragi Park and brought back the lineup he was honing.

Seeing Mighty Zelda: Eevee, Milotic and Metal Giants returned to his hands, Xia You finally felt like an ordinary trainer.

No need to worry about evil organizations suddenly jumping out, and no need to care about the legendary Pokémon in the Hoenn region. All you need to do is leisurely challenge gyms and concentrate on training your own Pokémon. Your purpose is single and pure. Isn't this the life of an ordinary trainer!

Speaking of Pokémon in the Hoenn region, Xia You contacted Furong when he left Shuijing City and agreed to meet in Yinyu City.

After all, he still had the indigo and scarlet beads in his hands, and it was time to return them to their original owners.

As for why they didn't send it to Songshen Mountain...

The main reason was that it was not on the way, and besides, I had helped Furong so much, so asking her to come to me was not too much of a request.

Starting from Shuijing City, the two headed westward.

The weather was just right today, not too hot and with a slight breeze. Moreover, since they didn't have to rush, the two of them relaxed and had more time to appreciate the scenery along the way and notice scenes that they had never noticed before.

This was a rare experience for a trip that had been so stressful before.

After walking for most of the day, the two passed by a hunting area.

Hunting areas can also be called wild Pokémon sanctuaries.

This is where wild Pokémon live and breed, and although it is protected by law and the Pokémon League, you can also use the special Poké Balls provided here to capture them non-combatantly after paying a fee.

For some people who don't like fighting, this is undoubtedly an ideal place to capture Pokémon. Of course, the premise is that his luck is not too bad.

After all, the success rate of the hunting balls provided by the reserve is really not high. If you are unlucky today, the success rate will be even lower, which is outrageous.

This is also the reason why, even though it is easier to obtain Pokémon here, there are still not so many trainers visiting.

As for Xia You, since there was no Pokémon he wanted to capture, he did not waste time here. He and Xiaoxia went straight through the gate of the hunting area.

However, when they were about to leave the hunting zone, Xiaoxia couldn't help but tease Xiaozhi to Xiayou.

"Hehe, that's just you. You knew there weren't any Pokémon you liked, so you never thought of entering this protected area. If Xiaozhi passed by here, he would definitely go in and take a look!"

Because they have traveled to two regions together, I know Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia very well, and I know that with his personality, he will never miss such a place.

"Indeed." Xia You nodded and smiled, "He just likes the hustle and bustle. But speaking of it, this is the only way to get from Green Shade Town to Shuijing City. After Xiaozhi challenged the Green Shade Gym, he must have passed by here on the way to Shuijing City. Needless to say, he must have been there before."

As they were talking, they had already left the protected area and were heading north along the main road.

They walked for another half a day, and just as they had lunch and passed a towering mountain area, Xia You accidentally glanced and happened to see a figure he had seen before!

Because there were almost no people on the road, he noticed this person almost at first sight.

"That person is..."

Seeing the surprised look on Xia You's face, Xiao Xia also turned her head to look, and saw a man about 24 or 25 years old, wearing a decent black suit, with light blue hair who looked like a gentleman. She couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong, Brother Xia You? Do you know that person?"

"Eh? Don't you know him?" Seeing Xiaoxia's confused expression, Xia You then remembered that she had indeed never seen this person before, and couldn't help but explain, "He is Daigo, the son of Mr. Zifuchi, the president of Dewen Company."

"So he is Daigo." Xiaoxia suddenly realized. Although she had never seen this man before, she had heard this name from Xia You and Zifuchi, so she was not unfamiliar with him. "But why is he here?"

Yes, why is Daigo here?

Xia You was also confused, but after looking around, he understood.

What is Daigo's favorite thing to do?

Of course, digging stones everywhere!

Although this is a joke, it is actually not wrong.

Obviously, he came here for only one purpose. There must be some special stone that attracted him.

In the distance, Daigo was about to walk into a cave. Perhaps he sensed something, and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Xia You. When he looked, he naturally discovered Xia You and Xiaoxia.

It can be seen that he was obviously stunned for a moment, obviously he did not expect to see Xia You here, but after being stunned for two seconds, he turned around and walked slowly towards them.

When he came closer, he glanced at Xiaoxia with a puzzled look, then he smiled and nodded to Xia You: "I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Xia You also greeted him and then asked, "You can come here, does it mean there are some special stones nearby?"

It was no secret that he shared this hobby with his father, so Daigo did not feel surprised that Xia You could guess his purpose.

"That's right." He turned sideways, allowing Xia You to see the cave entrance not far away. "I heard that a trainer accidentally discovered a hidden passage when exploring this cave before, and went deeper, so I think we should be able to find some rarer stones there."

it is as expected……

I can only say that a young master from a wealthy family like this would really travel around for his hobbies...

But speaking of the secret cave nearby...

Xia You touched his chin and asked, "Is the place you are talking about the Drought Grotto?"

"Oh?" Daigo looked at him in surprise, "You actually know that place too? This is really strange. You are obviously not from the Hoenn region, but you know such secret things."

Of course, Xia You could not predict the future. In fact, the reason why he knew all this was because he had played games before and had a deep impression of this place. Although he could not remember it clearly, he still remembered that there seemed to be a rare Sidoran in the depths of this cave.

However, although Sildenafil is also a legendary Pokémon, to be honest, it is too ugly and is completely beyond Xia You's aesthetic range. Therefore, even though he knew that there might be a legendary Pokémon here and some people thought it was very powerful, he didn't have any interest at all.

"I just happened to hear someone else hear it before." Xia You just waved his hand and passed on the topic. "People like me have heard and seen a lot, and maybe one day I will remember it like I do now, but if you say how much I know, I only know the name."

"I see." Daigo did not doubt his words, but he seemed to suddenly remember something and smiled, "I heard from Kuroda that you helped my father again last time?"

Xia You was in a daze for a moment before he realized that he was probably referring to the incident of helping Zfuchi seize the meteorite.

"It's not really a favor, it's just mutual assistance. And thanks to Mr. Zifuchi's information, I was able to capture a powerful Pokémon as I wished."

"You mean the Deoxys?" Daigo said with a smile. "It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time. If I had known, I would have been the one to capture Deoxys."

Xia You was very skeptical about this.

Not to mention that Daigo is a trainer who is proficient in steel attributes, whether he will actually capture Deoxys or not.

Even if he really went, in addition to Deoxys, there were also the Magma Team led by Huoyan and the Ocean Team led by Izumi, and the finale of Rayquaza's appearance. In that situation, I really don't know if Daigo could be like himself, not only defeating these guys but also conquering Deoxys.

Even if he was once a champion, it obviously wouldn't be as easy as it is for me, right?

Because it was just a chance encounter and both of them had their own things to do, after chatting for a while, they said goodbye directly.

Seeing Daigo's figure disappearing into the cave entrance, Xiaoxia turned around and gave her impression of him.

"How should I put it..." She hesitated for a moment before saying, "He really gives a good impression. He looks gentle and easy-going. He doesn't have the arrogance of a rich second-generation at all. And it can be seen that he is quite confident in his own abilities. He seems to be a person who never admits defeat."

"That's a very good summary." Xia You also nodded in agreement, "Just like you said, Daigo is indeed an excellent person, which is why he is so popular in Hoenn."

This incident was just a small episode and was soon forgotten by the two. After leaving the mountainous area, they walked for another day. By the evening of the second day, although they were still some distance away from their destination, they could already vaguely see the lights of Yinyu City.

Yinyu City is known as a city on trees that plays with nature.

In terms of location, it is located in the northern part of the Hoenn region, at the foot of the endless mountains. Although the city is not large, it is completely surrounded by dense forests. Even the tall buildings are blocked by trees. Even from a distance, it is impossible to tell whether it is a city or a forest!

Even in the city, there are a large number of tree houses. These tree houses are built on straight and tall giant trees and connected to each other by suspension bridges. Although they are not as prosperous as big cities, they have a unique flavor among the lush greenery, birdsong and flowers.

Moreover, most people here walk, let alone cars and even roads are rarely seen. It is a completely natural ecological scene!

Because of the weather and frequent heavy rains, the trees here grow much taller than those in other places. It is said that most of the residents here are healthy and long-lived. In the tree houses, you can often see various wild insect-attribute Pokémon flying through the city.

Because it was getting late, the two of them stayed directly in the Pokémon Center after entering the city.

However, while having dinner, Xiaoxia couldn't help but sigh when she heard that a wing carnival had been held here a few days ago.

Especially when she heard that this was a large-scale sky-themed event held every year in Yinyu City, and that the whole town was extremely lively at this time every year, Xiaoxia sighed in disappointment.

“I really want to attend such a celebration…”

Besides, she is also a ten-year-old girl, and with her personality, it is inevitable that she likes to be lively.

Xia You could only shake his head helplessly: "It can't be helped. We were delayed by something. But by the time of the Caiyou Conference, you should have time to have fun. By then, it will definitely be more exciting than any other event!"

……

The Inyu Gym is located on the outskirts of Inyu City, and it is the only building in the city that is not built on a tree.

From the appearance, the entire gym looks like a Mayan pyramid, built up by countless steps. It is a four-cornered pyramid-shaped building that is hundreds of meters high. To reach the battlefield above, without the help of Flying Pokémon, one needs to climb a long staircase, which is very tiring.

At the gym's gate, there are two stone statues of Pokémon standing on the left and right. The two statues are more than ten meters tall, with their wings spread out, howling at the sky. Walking below and looking up, it feels very oppressive.

After a night's rest, Xia You, full of energy, formally challenged the Yinyu City Gym the next morning.

When the two men passed through the long passage and arrived at the gate, they saw a man who was obviously a staff member coming out to greet them.

Seeing Xia You and the other two, the man smiled and asked, "Are you here to challenge the gym?"

"Eh?" Before Xia You could speak, Xiaoxia asked in surprise, "We are here to challenge the gym, but from the looks of you, it seems like you are here to pick us up? But how did you know we were here?"

The man pointed back at the gym behind him and said proudly, "This gym is the tallest building in the entire Yinyu City, and we in the gym have eyes as sharp as eagles. We will notice anyone who walks on the corridor in front of the gym. All right, please come in. Our gym owner, Miss Naqi, has been waiting for you for a long time!"
