I got the Pokémon

As explained in the illustrated book, perhaps because its steel body is too heavy, the evolved giant pincer mantis has basically lost its ability to fly. The pair of wings behind it cannot bear its weight at all, and it can only be used as a giant pincer mantis at best. When falling from a height, it briefly acts as a gliding buffer.

But on the other hand, after becoming a steel-type Pokémon, its resistance to damage has been greatly improved, just like a humanoid mecha.

Xia You couldn't help but patted the giant pincer mantis' chest with his hand. He heard a thumping sound, which made his palm hurt slightly. It was really no different from being slapped on steel.

"not bad!"

Xia You smiled and circled around the giant pincer mantis several times, marveling at it. The giant pincer mantis was obviously very satisfied with his body. He raised his pair of giant pincers and looked at them. The only thing he was uncomfortable with was , it’s just that his claws were replaced with pliers, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Well, at least I can use pliers to grab things from now on...

After releasing a few small Pokémon from the Poke Ball to let them get familiar with this 'new' partner, Xiayou waved to Li Jia and yawned before returning to her room.

Now he just wants to sleep. After all, spending an afternoon shopping with a girl is quite tiring.

……

Early the next morning, after having breakfast, the two of them left the B&B directly and headed towards the Manjin Gym.

They had walked the road leading to the Golden Gym yesterday, but unlike at night, they could find some different beauty when they looked at it during the day.

Walking on a main street facing the river, there are high-rise buildings on both sides of the street. On the side, you can also see several entrances to the underground. There is the underground commercial street of Manjin City. In addition to beauty treatments and snacks, you can also shop at You can buy all kinds of fashionable goods in the underground shopping street.

Seeing that Li Jia was interested, Xia You took the initiative and said without waiting for her to speak this time: "After completing the challenge to the Golden Gym, if it's still early, let's go shopping here again!"

Seeing Xia You being so considerate, Li Jia was naturally happy. She didn't know if she had applied the moisturizer she just bought yesterday, but her face looked particularly delicate today, adding a bit of charm.

Moving forward, the two walked across the bridge leading to the other side and came to the other side of the city. The first thing they saw was a suspended train station. This is a super project that was just completed a few years ago. The suspended train inside is the highest. With a speed of over 550 kilometers per hour, it is said that as long as you take the train, you can cross the two regions of Johto and Kanto and reach the Golden City on the other side in just a few hours.

This station is built with a sense of technology, and the suspended train road on the high ground extends out of the city, like a zipper, until it disappears at the end of the sight.

After passing the station, continuing forward is the Manjin TV Station. This is a six-story tower-like structure. It is a large-scale TV station with complete signal coverage throughout the city. Basically every town and village can receive their programs. , the ratings also remain first all year round.

It is said that this tower was originally an ancient and huge wooden tower. Later, it was damaged due to decay, and then a TV station was rebuilt on it.

The two of them stopped and stood there for a while looking at the tower and taking a group photo. But when they were about to leave, they realized that something didn't seem right here.

I saw that martial law had begun on the street below the TV station. More than a dozen police cars were parked outside, and the police officers pulled up a blockade and surrounded the entire TV station.

Among them, Xia You also discovered a familiar figure, who turned out to be a handsome guy he hadn't seen for a long time!
At this time, the handsome man was in front of the hood of a police car, looking at a drawing with several police officers. They were talking, frowning, and they didn't know what they were discussing.

Li Jia whispered: "Something must have happened, right?"

Xia You nodded: "Wherever a handsome guy appears, there must be an evil organization, and in this place in Chengdu, it is obviously related to Team Rocket." "Want to take a look?"

Xia You hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

"Forget it, now that the police have come forward, it's hard for us to intervene. Besides, if this kind of thing is too involved, it's hard not to make people think that we are overstepping our bounds and want to take care of everything."

While they were talking, two more police cars roared past them and drove under the TV station.

Xia You and Li Jia were just about to leave, but I don't know if they had a tacit understanding, but the handsome guy turned around at this moment and saw Xia You with an unmistakable glance.

All I can say is that there was more than 100 meters between the two of them, but the handsome guy was still able to spot him, as if his eyes were equipped with radar!
When he saw Xia You, the handsome boy's eyes lit up. He abandoned the police officers and walked towards him quickly.

Now Xia You couldn't say anything more and left. He gave Li Jia a wry smile and then went to greet the handsome guy.

Before the handsome guy came closer, his voice had already reached Xia You's ears: "Brother Xia You! What a coincidence, I never expected to see you here!!"

Brother Xia You?

When did even the title change?
"I didn't expect to see you here, what? Did something happen?"

The handsome guy sighed: "The Rockets gang suddenly broke into the TV station in the morning and now they have completely occupied it!"

Breaking into a TV station?
Xia You's heart moved. This seemed to correspond to a certain plot in the game.

After the handsome guy finished speaking, he looked Xia You up and down, glanced at Li Jia calmly, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for many days, brother Xia You really still has the same style. I heard Lila said that you were there some time ago. It’s time to raid Team Rocket’s base. Thank you so much for helping us out again. By the way, is your badge journey going well?”

Xia You nodded: "It's okay. I've got seven badges. I'm about to challenge the Golden Gym. Do you want my help with Team Rocket?"

Originally, he just wanted to be polite when he said this. After all, the police officers had completely surrounded the TV station, and Team Rocket inside couldn't escape even if they wanted to. Basically, it was like catching a turtle in a urn, unable to fly. It was only a matter of time before Team Rocket inside was extinguished.

I didn't want the handsome guy to hear this, so he burst out laughing: "It's great that you are willing to help! To be honest, I was worried just now, but I didn't expect to meet you in the blink of an eye!"

Xia You: "..."

You're really welcome...

Sighing, he couldn't help but ask: "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

This time the handsome guy did not answer immediately, but took Xia You and Li Jia to the police car just now.

The surrounding police officers saw that the commander had just left in a hurry without saying anything, and now he had brought back a strange man and woman, and they couldn't help but look at them curiously.
