I got the Pokémon

Now that everything has been revealed, there is no point in hiding it any longer.

"Yes, there is an Articuno here, but it's not accurate to say it's mine. It and I are just good friends." Dara admitted it generously, and then asked, "How did you know?"

Xiaozhi spoke quickly and told him what had just happened in the forest.

"I see. I didn't expect it to sneak out to play again..." Dara shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I originally wanted to give you a surprise and scare you when the battle starts. Now it seems that this idea has been shattered."

Will it really scare you?

After hearing what Dara said, Xiaoyao couldn't help but look around.

To her right were Xiaozhi, Xiaosheng and Xiaogang, and to her left was Xia You.

It can be said that everyone present has seen the legendary Pokémon more than once.

Not to mention Xia You who owns Celebi and Deoxys, let’s just talk about Xiaozhi. Doesn’t he also often deal with various legendary Pokémon and become friends with them?
Compared to those ordinary trainers, they have seen too many legendary Pokémon. Even if they know there is an Articuno here, they will not be scared except for being a little surprised at first.

But no matter what, it’s already amazing to have an Articuno left here, regardless of whether it was captured by Dara or not!
After all, no matter it is the king, champion, gym leader or pioneer brain, not everyone has one of the legendary Pokémon, and they are also very rare!
Only then did Xia You and his group know from Dara why this Articuno stayed here.

In fact, not long ago, when Dara was flying in the night sky in the plane he made, he encountered an injured Articuno. After that, the two Pokémon became friends, and Articuno would come here from time to time to stay.

This incident doesn't sound like anything special, and seems to happen every day, and is not worth mentioning. However, the more simple and unpretentious things like this are, the more likely they are to gain true friendship.

"So that's how it is..." Xiaogang touched his chin and nodded. Since he stopped being a gym manager, he has been thinking more and more like a Pokémon breeder, so he can understand this matter better. But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked quickly, "So, if it hasn't been captured, then the Articuno is still a wild Pokémon?"

Knowing what he was worried about, Sugio said, "Don't worry, we have always kept the existence of Articuno strictly confidential and never revealed it to those challengers. Only today are we revealing this secret to you."

"I can testify to this!" Upon hearing this, Yashida laughed and said to Xia You and the others, "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about the existence of this Articuno until now!"

Of course, he did not mean any dissatisfaction or malice in these words. He was simply saying that Dara had done a good job of keeping secrets.

"Don't worry." Xia You also said on behalf of Xiaozhi and the others, "We are all very tight-lipped and won't spread nonsense."

Dara smiled cheerfully: "Of course I trust you, after all, you are Mr. Champion."

After chatting for a while, the few of them, led by Dara, came to the battle site of the battle factory.

The battlefield here is in a large empty factory building. The entire factory building covers a huge area and is filled with various steel bars and iron pipes. The lighting is not too bright and there is a smell of steel, which seems to be very consistent with the name of a factory.

The Pokémon that will be fighting this time has just been confirmed, and it is Articuno.

Since there is no Pokémon equivalent to Articuno in hand, this game adopts a one-on-one mode. Whoever wins will win. It can be said to be simple and clear.

Before the battle, both Xia You and Xiao Zhi used the teleporter here to adjust their lineup.

Speaking of which, this is Xia You's first time fighting against a legendary Pokémon in a formal battle. In fact, it's not just him. Even Xiaozhi's expression has become very serious.

Before the battle, Xia You and Xiao Zhi looked at each other.

As for who would fight Articuno first, this time, Xia You did not refuse, but took the initiative to signal to Xiaozhi that he would fight first.

In response to this, Xiaozhi didn't say anything. It was just that one was in front and the other was behind. They were all family members, so it didn't matter who challenged Brother Xia You first. He also wanted to see which Pokémon Xia You would use to fight Articuno!
At the same time as the trainer command areas on both sides of Dara and Xia You's stations, Xiaoyao, Xiaozhi, Xiaosheng, Xiaogang and Yashida also came to the viewing area not far away. As for Dara's disciple named Sugio, he also walked outside the venue and acted as a referee.

Just at this moment, as Dara blew the whistle, a beautiful blue bird flew out from a side passage and circled over the venue.

In an instant, countless snowflakes fell from the big bird and sprinkled onto the battlefield.

Needless to say, this big blue bird was the legendary Pokémon Articuno in the factory, and naturally it was the one they saw in the forest.

After flapping its wings a few times, Articuno slowly landed in the half area where Dara belonged. At this time, Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng finally saw what Articuno looked like.

"It's really beautiful..." Xiaosheng exclaimed, his eyes wide open, as if he had fallen into the charm of Articuno.

Compared to him, Xiaoyao, a Pokémon coordinator trainer, was thinking about something else. She said with emotion: "It is really beautiful. If I use it to participate in the grand event, it will definitely become the focus of people..."

I have to say, the fact that Xiaoyao can always remember about the Grand Prix shows that she is indeed a qualified coordination trainer.

However, after sighing, several people's eyes fell on Xia You at the same time.

So, facing this legendary Pokémon, what Pokémon will Brother Xia You use to deal with it?
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xia You did not release the Pokémon immediately, but took out three Ultra Balls from his waist bag and placed them in his palm.

After doing all this, he looked at Dara, and when Dara was puzzled, he smiled and said, "I have three super balls here, Mr. Dara, please choose your opponent yourself."

"Oh?" Dara raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile. "I've only heard of the defender letting the challenger choose the Pokémon, but I've never heard of the challenger letting the defender choose the Pokémon. But since you said so, then I guess the Pokémon in these three Ultra Balls must be very powerful?"

"I guess so." Xia You nodded lightly without commenting, "They are not the strongest, but they are all equal to your Articuno."

Hearing this, Dara's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Equal existence?
What does it mean?
Does it refer to strength, or something else?
Could it be that the three super balls in this man's hand contain legendary Pokémon?

He was shocked by his own idea and thought it was impossible, but then he thought, this is a man who holds three regional championships. Who would believe that he doesn't have any trump card?

Could it be that……

In fact, it was not just Dara, even Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng and Yashida who were watching the game, were thinking the same thing as Dara, and were also shocked by what Xia You said. Only Xiaozhi and Xiaogang looked at each other, and they saw a hint of understanding from each other.

"So..." Xiao Gang swallowed, "Mr. Xia You is going to use an equally powerful existence to fight Articuno?"

"That should be the case." Xiaozhi also frowned, "I've never seen Brother Xia You use them in a formal battle!"

"What are you talking about?" Xiaosheng and his friends were confused and asked, "What does Mr. Xia You mean? Does he also have a legendary Pokémon?"

Xiao Gang let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "You will know when you watch. The answer will be revealed soon!"

Xiaosheng and Yashida were itching to find out what Xia You was trying to figure out right now due to the two people's riddles and Xia You's actions. Xiaoyao, who knew Xia You a little, also had an idea at this time.

Is Brother Xia You going to use that Deoxys?

but……

There is only one Deoxys, so what Pokémon are in the other two Ultra Balls?

And amidst everyone's doubts, Dara made his choice after thinking for a moment.

He pointed to the super ball on the far right of Xia You's palm and shook his head, "I can't tell anything from the outside, but based on my intuition, I'll choose this one!"

He looked down at the super ball in his hand and saw a small snowflake pattern engraved on the sphere. Xia You was surprised to see that Dara actually chose this one.

I actually chose this one out of the three super balls. I can only say that it is really...

A fateful choice...

After taking back the other two super balls, Xia You threw the remaining super ball into the sky. With a flash of blue light, an equally beautiful blue bird appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

Just seeing this Pokémon, everyone except Ash and Brock was shocked!
"What!?"

From the beautiful feathers, majestic body and familiar appearance of this big bird, it is not difficult to see that it is clearly Articuno!
But...but why does Xia You also have one! ?

Don't even mention how shocked people were at this point.

Yashida even exclaimed: "Xia... Mr. Xia You actually has an Articuno too!?"

Countless snowflakes also fell, and after Xia You's Articuno soared in the air for a few circles and landed in his half, the two Articunos in the field faced each other from a distance and looked at each other.

People looked left and right, rubbed their eyes, and after being surprised, they finally accepted the fact that Xia You also owned an Articuno!

But even so, Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng and Yashida still felt unbelievable.

Glancing at Xiaozhi and Xiaogang beside him, and remembering how they looked just now, Xiaosheng quickly asked, "Did you know from the beginning that Mr. Xia You had Articuno?"

"That's not all." Xiao Gang said with a smile, "Did you see those three super balls? This one contains Articuno, and the other two..."

"The other two?" Xiaosheng was stunned. "You mean...?"

Before he could finish his words, Dara in the trainer command area on the other side asked Xia You the same question.

"I didn't expect you to have Articuno as well. That's really surprising. But I want to ask, what are the other two super balls filled with?"

Xia You smiled slightly: "Didn't I just say it? It is an existence equal to Articuno."

Although Xia You did not say it explicitly, such an answer was tantamount to giving the answer.

In the Kanto region, two other Pokémon that are equal to Articuno are about to emerge.

“So it is…” Dara nodded with a wry smile, “It’s amazing, you are truly a champion, you can actually collect all three of them at the same time!”

In the stands, after hearing the conversation between the two, Xiaosheng couldn't wait to confirm with Xiaogang: "The two Pokémon they are talking about, could it be...?"

"That's right." Xiaogang nodded, "They are the other two, who are known as the Three Sacred Birds in the Kanto region along with Articuno - Moltres and Zapdos!"

"Molten and Zapdos..."

Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng and even Yashida once again turned their attention to Xia You, each with different thoughts in their minds.

But one thing is the same, that is, they all have a clearer and deeper understanding of Xia You's strength and Pokémon lineup!
At this time, two Articunos stood in the middle of the field, looking at each other cautiously, and the fighting spirit in them was rising sharply.

They have the same body shape and temperament. The only difference between the two Articunos is probably that one wears a crystal clear collar while the other wears nothing.

As members of the same species, they are not as friendly as other Pokémon when they meet. On the contrary, whether it is from their own strength, temperament, or the arrogance of the legendary Pokémon, they all regard each other as opponents and want to show who is better!
Seeing that the two Pokémon were ready and the trainers on both sides seemed to have nothing to say, Sugio, the referee, raised the colorful flag.

"Well, now let's start the battle between Xia You and Dara, the pioneering brain!"

Just as he finished speaking, with the turning of gears, the ceiling above his head suddenly began to vibrate and shrink. The next second, the ceiling slowly opened, revealing the sky outside!
When Xia You and his group looked up at the sky, Yashida said with great satisfaction: "This is the cleverness of this battle factory. With the wonderful sound of gears turning, when an air battle is taking place, the roof will be opened like now so that both sides can display their skills. If a battle in water is required, a large amount of clean water will be poured in instantly, turning this place into a pool! It can be said that no matter what kind of Pokémon it is, it will find a suitable battlefield here!"

In fact, it’s no wonder that Yashida is so complacent.

After all, this is his investment and his property, and the shock and admiration of the challengers will bring him great satisfaction. This is also the biggest reason why he went to so much trouble to establish this battle development area! (End of this chapter)
