Chapter 852 Then trick him again!

Leaving the forest where the battle tower was located and leaving the easternmost area of ​​Kanto, after a few days of monotonous but not boring journey, Xia You and Xiao Yao returned to the central area exhausted.

Compared to the rural style full of nature in other places, this place is undoubtedly more prosperous. High-rise buildings, bridges and parks can be seen everywhere, including golden yellow, dead leaves and jade rainbow. It can be said that the core cities of the entire Kanto region are gathered here.

However, the two did not pass through the urban area, but turned from here and headed north.

After walking for most of the day, during the lunch break on the fourth day, the two arrived at a place called Goumu Town.

In terms of scale, although Goumu Town is called a small town, its size is like that of a small city.

There are streets and rivers crisscrossing, tall buildings standing in rows, and people coming and going, making it look very lively.

In fact, originally, this place was not on the two people's route. They only took a detour and came here after learning from several trainers who challenged Xia You in the wild that a grand tournament was about to be held here.

Speaking of which, as the date of the Grand Festival approaches, the number of towns that have not yet hosted a Grand Festival is becoming fewer and fewer. For those trainers who have collected five ribbon medals a few years ago, this naturally has no impact. But for Xiaoyao who only came to Kanto to collect ribbon medals halfway, or for those newcomers, or coordination trainers who have failed one after another, time is undoubtedly too tight.

Even after arriving in this town, Xiaoyao couldn't help but secretly rejoice when she learned from Miss Joy at the Pokémon Center that the Wood Building Competition that was about to be held here would be the last remaining competition where ribbon medals could be obtained before the grand celebration began.

She patted her chest, which had already begun to take shape, and let out a long sigh: "Luckily we came early, if we were two days later, we would have missed the grand celebration!"

"yes……"

Just like Xiaoyao said, once you miss the last minute, if you want to challenge the grand festival in the Kanto region again, you will have to wait until next year.

If that time really comes, although Xiaoyao will definitely become stronger and more confident, she is no longer in Kanto. Not only will she miss an opportunity for growth during a critical period, even if she comes back to challenge the celebration, she will not have that feeling.

After taking a short rest at the Pokémon Center, the two headed straight to the Pokémon Conference venue.

The venue of this wood construction conference is located in the central area of ​​the town. Structurally, it is also a common hemispherical building with a blue and white color scheme. Compared with other venues, it looks unremarkable.

However, the difference is that perhaps because the town is large enough and has a large population base, the number of local coordination trainers participating in the competition has become extremely exaggerated.

At this time, the outside of the venue was filled with trainers and Pokémon. It looked like there were at least nearly a hundred people. This was the place with the largest number of contestants Xia You had ever seen, except for large venues like the Golden Conference!

Not only that, even those coordination trainers who, like Xiaoyao, are still short of a ribbon medal, have traveled thousands of miles across Kanto to come here to participate in the competition!

With just a quick look around, Xiaoyao saw several opponents he had encountered before.

It can also be seen from this that countless coordination trainers who have not yet collected all five ribbon badges are eager to fight for the last time here and make a final effort to participate in the grand celebration.

It’s a pity that no matter how many people there are, in the end only one person can take away the ribbon medal.

“There are so many people…”

The two walked through the crowded crowd, first went to the service desk to register, then walked around the competition venue to familiarize themselves with the stage before leaving the venue.

But before they had gone far, they saw Harry's lingering figure again.

Xiaoyao couldn't help but mutter, "Really? Why is he everywhere?"

Perhaps it was because he sensed something that Harry caught sight of Xia You and Xiao Yao in an instant.

Unlike his previous avoidance, this time Harry actually came in front of the two of them in such a high-profile manner.

"It's been a long time, you two." Harry had completely taken off his disguise. This time, he didn't have that fake smile on his face. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xiaoyao, saying in a teasing tone, "You're here, it seems that your collection of ribbon medals must have been difficult. What's wrong? After so long, you still haven't collected all five ribbon medals?"

Compared to Harry, who travels alone and devotes himself to challenging various conferences, Xiaoyao's frequency and opportunities to participate in conferences are relatively rare.

"What does it have to do with you?" Xiaoyao couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "You are here now, aren't you the same as me?"

Maybe it's because she has been with Xiaoxia for a long time, she now looks a bit like Xiaoxia!

"Same as you?" Harry smiled smugly after hearing Xiaoyao's words, and then opened one side of his clothes, allowing Xiaoyao to see the five shining medals hanging inside. "I have already collected them all. The reason I am here today is to see you make a fool of yourself!"

Let’s not worry about how Harry was sure that Xiaoyao would come to the woodbuilding competition. Just saying that his smug look is indeed in line with his usual style and is indeed something he can do.

Xiaoyao wanted to say something else, but Xia You took a step forward.

When Harry saw him move, he immediately took a step back subconsciously like a frightened bird.

"You...what do you want to do?"

He didn't want to do this in front of so many people, as if he was a coward, but he was really scared of being beaten. He was afraid that this man would fight with him if they disagreed!

Unexpectedly, Xia You just glanced at him lightly without saying anything, and left with Xiaoyao.

Harry was stunned for a moment, then his face suddenly turned red, and he felt that Xia You had looked down upon him!

He was extremely angry, but after opening his mouth several times, he dared not say anything. He could only look at Xia You's departing back and clenched his fists.

He dared to provoke Xiaoyao constantly because he had a grasp of her character, and he also knew that apart from the competition, she would not do anything to him.

But Xia You, he really dares to do something!

Such reckless behavior and strong strength are the main reasons why Harry dares not speak out.

He dared to deceive Xiaoyao countless times, but because of his disastrous defeat and cowardly departure in previous battles, he didn't even dare to say a single big word in front of this man now.

But this doesn't mean he will give up.

Now that an irreconcilable feud has been formed, how to take revenge on him has always been Harry's biggest concern besides the grand event.

Just at this moment, he glanced inadvertently and saw a few hateful guys again.

It was last time in the golden arena of the gorgeous tournament that she dressed up as the fairy Musashi Bian and deceived her own Team Rocket!

Ever since Kojiro and Meowth stole Harry's Pokémon last time, Harry had been chasing them all the way. It took a lot of effort before he finally got his two Pokémon back. Of course, he also taught those three guys a lesson.

But because of that incident, he and these three guys became acquainted with each other, and he also knew that the Rocket trio was a member of a bad organization that usually opposed Xiaozhi and had great hostility towards Xiaozhi's companions, which naturally included Xiaoyao and Xia You.

In that case...

Thinking of this, his eyes turned and he had an idea in his mind.

Changing his gloomy expression, he put on a smile and strode up to the Rocket trio.

At this time, Musashi is still dressed as the fairy Musashi Bian from last time. It seems that she is not giving up and wants to participate in the gorgeous conference again to fulfill her dream.

As for Kojiro and Meow Meow, they were still dressed as agents and assistants, following behind Musashi.

Just as they came out of the registration office, the three of them ran into Harry head-on.

"It's you!?"

When they saw Harry clearly, the three members of Team Rocket were shocked. Remembering how they were taught a lesson by him last time, they wanted to turn around and leave. However, before they took a few steps, they were stopped by Harry.

"Wait a moment."

"What are you doing?" Musashi turned around and looked at him angrily, "I have to attend the Grand Tournament, I don't have time to talk to you here!"

"That's what I mean, meow!" Meowth also said, "We didn't lie to you this time, Pokémon!"

"You misunderstood." Harry smiled, "Actually, I came here to help you."

"Help us?" Musashi frowned, "What does this mean?"

Harry took out two Poké Balls and waved them in front of them: "Of course, just like last time, I lent you the Pokémon so that you could win!"

"What!?"

Hearing his words, Musashi, Kojiro and Meow Meow looked at each other, not understanding what this guy was up to.

"Lend us your Pokémon?" Ojiro frowned. "Why would you do that? What good will it do you?"

Harry did not answer their questions first, but asked in return: "I heard that you and that guy named Xiaozhi are sworn enemies, right?"

"That's right!" Musashi's eyes lit up when Harry mentioned Xiaozhi, "We will definitely get that brat's Pikachu! And we will teach that brat a lesson!"

"So, his companions are naturally your enemies?"

"Of course!"

"Then this is my goal." Harry said with a smile, "Since we have a common enemy, then we are naturally friends. My target is the person named Xiaoyao, oh, and that Xia You!"

Xia You! ?

Hearing this name, the three members of Team Rocket felt a jolt in their hearts. Even though Xia You was not here, they still felt a chill.

This guy named Harry actually dared to cause trouble for Xia You?

Did he think he had lived too long?

Although they thought so in their hearts, the three members of Team Rocket did not show it, but asked again: "Even so, have you forgotten that we cheated you of your Pokémon last time? Even after what happened, are you still willing to lend us your Pokémon?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten." Although Harry was still angry when he mentioned this, he tried to keep his tone as steady as possible. "But in order to defeat our common enemy, I can make some concessions. However, in order to ensure that things go smoothly, I will lend you the Pokémon this time, but it is not without conditions."

"Conditions?" Kojiro's heart was alarmed, and he asked tentatively, "What are the conditions?"

Harry spread his hands and said, "Of course, this is to prevent unpleasant things like last time from happening, so we have to leave a hostage behind."

hostage?

Hearing such a request, the three members of Team Rocket looked at each other subconsciously, and then in front of Harry, the three heads leaned together again and conspired in a low voice.

Although he was very close, Harry held his breath and tried hard to hear something, but unfortunately, he heard nothing in the end.

His brows furrowed, and just as he was about to say something, the three members of Team Rocket dispersed and looked at him with smiles on their faces.

Rubbing his hands together, Kojiro smiled and said, "So, who do you want to keep as a hostage?"

Although he felt that they seemed to be up to something bad, Harry still had the confidence to control these simple-minded guys, so he didn't pay too much attention to what happened just now.

His eyes scanned the three of them, and finally, Harry's gaze settled on Meowth.

"Just this meow."

Among these two people and one Pokémon, Musashi has to go to participate in the competition, so he naturally cannot stay behind as a hostage. And as Kojiro is a human, it is inevitable that he will do some tricks. Therefore, in Harry's opinion, only this Meowth is the most suitable and safest hostage.

After all, talking Pokémon are rare in this world. Not to say they are unique, but they are extremely rare. I believe that if such a precious Pokémon is left as a hostage, Musashi and Kojiro will definitely not abandon it. In this way, the last incident would be prevented from happening again.

But little did he know that when they saw that he had chosen Meowth, when he wasn't paying attention, the Rocket trio all showed a sinister look on their faces at the same time and exchanged glances with each other again.

Harry wants to use Musashi to stop Xiaoyao and deal with Xia You to achieve his goal.

But wouldn't the Rocket trio also want to take advantage of this opportunity to trick Harry again?

As for going against Xia You?

What a joke!

In their hearts, Xia You has risen to an invincible existence.

He is the champion of three regions and holds legendary Pokémon. Even the old boss Sakaki doesn't want to mess with him!

Moreover, they now know that in Xia You's eyes, they are weak and pose no threat. As long as they behave well in front of him, Xia You will not do anything to them even if they meet face to face.

And since they are already in such a favorable balance, how could the three of them possibly go against Xia You?

Humph, only a fool would do that!

Let us go and die?

Then we will cheat you, and there will be no room for negotiation!
