Chapter 869: Long time no see, Mr. Priest
The gathering of the three sacred beasts means that Xia You’s combat effectiveness has increased again.
This was also a surprise he had never expected before coming to Johto.
Looking at the super ball, Xiao Yao ran a few steps and picked it up without Xia You having to do anything. Then he carefully put it back in front of Xia You as if he was holding some precious treasure.
No wonder Xiaoyao is so careful.
After all, when traveling with Xiaozhi before, although he had encountered legendary Pokémon several times, he only glanced at them from afar and had no contact with them. Even when dealing with them, he was cautious. But now it is different. Brother Xia You has captured one with his own strength, and it is even in his hand. The feeling is completely different!
Looking at Xiaoyao like this, Xia You smiled gently and couldn't help but think of her past self.
I probably had the same expression when I captured Zapdos for the first time.
On the side, seeing that everything was over, a light suddenly flashed on Charizard's body, and as the light disappeared, it returned to its normal state.
This also made Xiaoyao marvel at the sight.
"I thought it would stay the same forever." Xiaoyao's tone was somewhat regretful, and then he couldn't help but ask, "Does that mean that every time we fight in the future, we will have to evolve again like we did just now?"
"That's right." Xia You waved his hand and called back the Pokémon around him, while explaining, "This Mega Evolution is not permanent. Even though it will make Pokémon stronger and temporarily release the hidden power in their bodies, it must rely on Key Stones and Mega Evolution Stones. It is impossible to maintain that state forever. Therefore, it is extremely important to know when to use it and when to end it."
At this time, all of Xia You's Pokémon gathered around and looked at the Ultra Ball in his hand. Just as Gengar was about to say something, it and Gardevoir looked towards somewhere in the valley almost at the same time.
"There are human footsteps!" Geng Gui whispered, "and they are approaching here quickly!"
It's not surprising that humans are approaching.
After all, as the masters of this world, it would not be surprising to see humans anywhere, let alone those trainers who like to go adventuring in caves under snowy mountains.
Therefore, when Xia You discovered Emperor Yan and made up his mind to subdue him, he was already mentally prepared to be disturbed.
He even placed a few Pokémon on alert just now, just to prevent anyone from suddenly jumping out and disturbing him when he was not done capturing them.
And it was already a pretty good result that someone showed up only after he had defeated Emperor Yan and subdued him.
After collecting a few Pokémon and putting Entei's Ultra Ball into his waist bag, Xia You was about to ride Charizard away with Xiao Yao when the voices of a man and a woman talking suddenly came from a distance.
"Let's go quickly. The sound of the battle just now seemed to come from this side! Those were definitely made by two rare Pokémon!"
"But... the sounds of fighting have stopped. Could they have left?"
"Then we must hurry up!"
Hearing this voice, Xia You, who was about to leave quietly, paused and raised his eyebrows subconsciously.
The voice sounded familiar, as if... it was someone I had met before.
who can that be?
Thinking of this in his mind, Xia You did not leave immediately, but slowed down his pace and waited for the owners of the two voices to approach.
The mystery was soon solved.
Following the sound of two not-too-heavy footsteps, a teenage boy and girl came out from behind a huge rock in the valley.
The girl on the left was pretty, with long light blue hair tied into two ponytails that curled up in a very unnatural way. She was wearing a tight top and tight shorts, and looked passionate, unrestrained and energetic.
The boy on her right was wearing a baseball cap upside down on his head, a red sweatshirt, and yellow shorts. A tuft of bangs stuck out from the gap in the hat and hung unruly in the air.
When they saw each other's faces clearly, Xia You and the boy and girl were all stunned.
"Is it you?"
"You are...Mr. Xia You!?"
Seeing the two people clearly, Xia You's memory flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Is it Kenta and Marina?"
That’s right, just as Xia You said, these two people were Kenta and Marina whom he met when he was traveling in the Johto area!
"Yes, it's us!" Kenta obviously recognized Xia You at a glance and said excitedly, "It's been a long time since we last met. I really didn't expect to run into you here!"
"That's right!" Marina was also surprised and said, "Mr. Xia You, why are you here?"
Speaking of which, Xia You not only experienced an event with these two people, but also met them again at the Silver Conference, so no matter from which aspect, they were not strangers.
Shaking his head, Xia You asked back: "That's what I wanted to ask, too. Why are you two here?"
Kenta said as a matter of course: "Of course we noticed the change in the weather, and we heard the sound of fighting here, so we came here to take a look."
At this point, he looked around at the traces of battle all over the ground, and suddenly realized, "Could it be that the battle just now was caused by you, Mr. Xia You?"
Xia You nodded and said half-truthfully, "It was me. I just encountered a rare Pokémon and captured it."
He was not lying. After all, Entei was indeed a relatively rare Pokémon.
"So this is ah……"
The expression on Kenta's face was visibly disappointed. In fact, it was obvious that he must have come here with great expectations, but found that someone had already got there first. How could he not be disappointed?
"Oh, right." Xia You thought of something and asked, "Why isn't your other companion here? The one who came from the same town as you. I remember his name was... called..."
"You are talking about Junyi, right?" Marina chuckled. "He is not with us. He is traveling alone to other places. But then again, Mr. Xia You, you have dealt with him many times, right? I didn't expect that after so long, you still don't remember his name!"
Indeed, it is strange to say that Xia You has met many people since she started traveling, but no matter whether they are new faces or old faces, the only one she can’t remember is the chubby boy’s name.
At this time, Kenta and Marina's eyes were all focused on Xiaoyao.
"Who is this?"
"My name is Xiaoyao." Xiaoyao introduced herself generously, "I am Xia You's travel partner and a coordinator trainer who is traveling around!"
"Coordinator Trainer?"
Hearing that Xiaoyao was actually a coordination trainer, Kenta's eyes subconsciously fell on Marina beside him.
Marina also laughed: "That's a coincidence, I recently changed my career and became a coordination trainer!"
"Eh? Really?" Xiaoyao was stunned, and then a little surprised, "That's really such a coincidence..."
Speaking of which, since becoming a coordination trainer, Xiaoyao has met many other coordination trainers, whether they are friendly or malicious like Harry, she has seen all kinds of them, but the more she meets these 'colleagues' and the more she communicates with them, the more benefits she has, not to mention this kind of 'friend of a friend' relationship.
It was a rare occasion for them to meet, so they found an open and clean place nearby, sat on a rock and started chatting. Seeing that it was already noon, Xia You and Kenta were responsible for preparing today's lunch, while Xiaoyao and Marina sat there and started chatting about the topic of "coordinating trainers".
It didn't matter that they chatted, Xiaoyao just discovered that this person named Marina, although she had only debuted not long ago, often entered the second round of review with the first place, and won several ribbon medals in succession. She even had many unique and amazing insights into the entire stage and the profession of coordination trainer!
It’s incredible…
He looks about the same age as me, but I didn’t expect that he knows so much and is so amazing!
Seeing Xiaoyao's admiring look, Xia You, who was preparing lunch, smiled and shook her head.
Xiaoyao naturally didn't know that although Marina in front of her had only been a coordination trainer for a short time, in the near future, she had won the Grand Festival and was one of the few top coordination trainers in the Johto region!
How could such a person achieve all those things without his own unique insights?
After the food was cooked, they spread out the tablecloth and enjoyed a lunch in the valley, which was not delicious but convenient and hot.
This was already the best of Xia You's ability. In fact, being able to cook food and not starve himself to death was already his greatest success in cooking!
Of course, this is definitely not delicious. At least after Marina tasted it, her eyebrows slightly raised. On the other hand, Kenta and Xiaoyao ate it with gusto...
Meeting Kenta and Marina was just a small episode.
After lunch, they chatted for a few more minutes. After Xiaoyao and Marina exchanged contact information, they said goodbye to each other and continued their journey to their next destination.
Of course, although they were chatting, neither Xia You nor Xiao Yao told them about their recent encounter and conquest of Emperor Yan. They just shared some interesting topics from the trip.
After they parted and watched Kenta and Marina leave, Xia You and Xiao Yao continued to fly towards the Whirlpool Islands on Charizard.
It’s not that they don’t want to travel on foot like before, but the time left for them is getting shorter and shorter.
You never know what might delay you one day, so you have to hurry and leave enough time for possible accidents.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey did not encounter any twists and turns. After flying for a long time, when night fell, they finally saw the Whirlpool Islands in the distance.
To be honest, just like every time he returned to the customs, Xia You was still a little conflicted when he got here.
After all, it had been such a long time since they last met, and they hadn't contacted each other in the meantime. What if Maya's attitude towards him suddenly changed? Wouldn't it be a waste of his trip?
But then I thought again, if I don’t even have this little confidence, then I’d be a failure!
With three regional championship trophies in hand and so many legendary Pokémon at your disposal, you should have this kind of confidence!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and tapped Charizard's lower abdomen with his feet. The next second, Charizard suddenly accelerated and rushed towards Qingyan Island where Maya was!
……
The darkness enveloped the earth, and thin clouds blocked the moon, casting a hazy veil over the night.
Qingyan Island, Temple of the Sea.
Maya, the high priestess who embodies beauty, elegance and nobility, has just finished a day's work at the temple. She is now standing on the large terrace outside the room, gazing towards the sea in the west.
On the other side of the sea, beyond her sight, is said to be the continent of Hoenn.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
During this period of time, she would look towards that place for a while before going to bed every day. Although she never told the reason, how could the maids around her not know what was on her mind?
It's just her hero of the sea, just there.
The cool sea breeze blew by, causing Maya to subconsciously tighten her skirt.
When she realized that she had been standing there long enough and was about to turn around and go back to the room, at this moment, the clouds covering the moon slowly dispersed, and a black dot appeared under the moonlight.
This also made Maya pause and look up.
what is that?
Is it a bird Pokémon?
It was not until the black dot grew bigger and got closer that she realized it was not a bird Pokémon at all, but a dragon Pokémon that was slowly flying closer!
And on top of that dragon Pokémon, there was vaguely someone sitting. Looking at the direction, it seemed... that it was flying towards him!
Somehow, Maya's heart suddenly began to beat faster.
She felt something vaguely, but because of the moonlight, she could not confirm it.
Just one or two minutes later, because she was closer and with the help of the light in the room, she finally saw it clearly.
The dragon Pokémon turned out to be a Charizard, and the person on top of the Charizard was her Sea Hero!
Did the God of the Sea finally answer her prayer?
It was at this moment that Maya's heart calmed down and she returned to her usual noble self.
woohoo...
The fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings and landed on the terrace.
Xia You rode on the Charizard and looked down at the beautiful woman not far away.
Without the scepter, Maya's divinity seemed to have faded away, making her look like an ordinary beautiful human woman, just like... that night.
And from her eyes, Xia You also saw the answer he wanted.
Flipping down from the dragon, Xia You jumped onto the terrace and smiled at Maya: "Master Priest, long time no see."
Maya also laughed and was about to say something when she saw another little girl jumping off the Charizard.
