I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 98

The system suddenly issued a task.

Just as I expected...!

Xiao Mao remained calm. He challenged A Du to see if it would trigger a system-issued task, and it seemed he had made the right bet.

However, this task is extremely difficult, and Xiao Mao is currently unable to complete it.

"Mr. A-Lv, let's have a one-on-one duel." Gary knew he was no match, so there was no need for a battle with multiple Pokémon; one-on-one would be enough.

“Okay.” A-Du nodded and said, “Then let’s fight here.”

"it is good."

Sabrina looked at the two of them with surprise. She hadn't expected that A-Du would agree to Shigeru's request for a match.

Although she felt there was a huge gap between the two, Natsu was also very curious about whether Wataru's strength was as great as it appeared on TV.

"Let's begin then, go, Dragonite!" Lance immediately dispatched his ace Pokémon.

Baton!

A two-legged, chubby Dragonite makes its appearance.

【LV75 Dragonite♂/Champion】

When Gary saw Lance's Dragonite, he was slightly surprised, but he also felt that it was normal for Dragonite to have such strength, after all, it was the champion of the Johto League and had the strength of a champion.

"Blastoise, you go." Instead of using Tyranitar and Zapdos, Gary sent out his starter Pokémon, Blastoise.

"Kami!"

Blastoise appears, looking seriously at its opponent. Seeing Dragonite's blank expression, it assumes Dragonite isn't very strong.

"Xiao Mao, we can start now. You go first." A-Du voluntarily gave up the first attack.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Blastoise, use Water Gun!" Gary commanded.

140: Blastoise VS Dragonite!

Xiao Mao wanted to see just how big the gap was between Blastoise and Champion-level Pokémon, so he commanded, "Blassoo, use Water Cannon!"

"Kami!!"

Blastoise's cannon cannon sprays water.

“Stop it,” A-Du said.

Dragonite stretched out its arms and blocked the powerful water cannon.

"Kami!"

When Blastoise saw that Dragonite had blocked its Water Gun so easily, it immediately increased the power of its Water Gun, pushing Dragonite's body back little by little. However, it only pushed Dragonite back a few meters before it ran out of steam.

Seeing his Dragonite being knocked back several meters by Hydro Pump, Lance exclaimed, "Your Blastoise is very well-trained, but unfortunately, it's too early for you to challenge me now."

"Quick Dragon, Dragon Wave!"

Dragonite opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of multicolored energy, which transformed into a dragon shape and lunged at Blastoise.

"Water cannons!"

Blastoise immediately launched a water cannon in retaliation, but the water cannon was instantly shattered by the dragon's breath energy and crashed into Blastoise.

Boom! !

The Dragon Pulse exploded, blasting Blastoise away and sending it crashing onto the ground. With just one hit, Blastoise was severely injured and had great difficulty even getting up.

"Oh, it didn't fall down." A-Du thought to himself in surprise.

Trainers at the Indigo League level could easily KO any of Lance's Pokémon with a single blow, but surprisingly, Blastoise withstood his Dragonite's Dragon Pulse.

"The battle is over. I've lost," Xiao Mao said, conceding defeat.

"Kami!" Blastoise was surprised. It had never lost before, so how could it let Shigeru admit defeat?

"Don't be stubborn. I know you're not convinced, but Mr. Lance's Dragonite is very strong, and you can't handle it right now."

Gary walked over to Blastoise and reassured it, "I just wanted to see the difference between you and Dragonite. Now is not the time to decide who wins."

"Kami".

Blastoise nodded, having taken the Dragon Pulse from Dragonite. It felt that it couldn't withstand it at all. Just that one Dragon Pulse, and even though Hydro Cannon reduced the damage a bit, if it were to take it all, it simply wouldn't be able to.

"You seem to care a lot about your Pokémon. I hope to meet you at the Masters Tournament someday. I'll be going now." After saying that, Lance rode away on his Dragonite.

Gary returned to the Pokémon Center and asked Nurse Joy to treat his Blastoise again.

Afterwards, Gary returned to the common area and released Tyranitar.

“Here you go, Tyranitar, put this in your storage space. I’ll teach you a few new skills,” Gary said, taking out the Soothing Bell.

"Huh?" Tyranitar looked at Gary with a puzzled expression.

Teaching yourself skills? Really?

Although Tyranitar was puzzled, it didn't doubt it too much. After all, it had already been captured by this kid, and at least for now, this trainer was qualified. So it put the Soothing Bell into its storage space.

Gary reached out and touched Tyranitar's hard body, beginning to teach it skills.

"Roar!!"

Tyranitar thought that Gary would release other Pokémon to teach it moves, but it suddenly awakened a move called Flamethrower.

"Don't be too surprised, there's more." After saying that, Gary taught Tyranitar all the skills he could teach.

In an instant, Tyranitar mastered three moves: Thunderbolt, Burst Punch, and Megaton Kick.

"Roar...!"

Tyranitar couldn't believe that it had awakened four moves in an instant. This was the power of a trainer... terrifying indeed.

【Pokémon: Tyranitar♂】

[Attribute: rock, evil]

【Level: 60】

[Potential: Champion]

【Characteristic: Sandstorm (will turn the surrounding weather into a sandstorm)】

[Skills: Tackle, Gaze, Rockfall, Dig, Tit for Tat, Terrifying Face, Rockslide, Stomp, Knock Down, Crunch, Earthquake, Rockslide, Rock Slash, Iron Wall, Dark Pulse, Sandstorm, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact.]

[Teaching skills: Flame Burst, Thunderbolt, Mega Kick, Explosive Punch.]

【Intimacy Level: 190 (Maximum 255)】

【Item Required: Soothing Bell】

Tyranitar's friendship level with Gary also increased to 190. At this level, Pokémon will basically obey the trainer's commands without question.

"Follow me closely, and I'll make you stronger," Xiao Mao said.

"Roar!"

Banjira still sported its defiant expression; it was probably quite bored in the mountains, so coming out for a stroll was a good idea.

"You must be hungry too, have something to eat." Shigeru took out an Energy Cube from his pocket. This Energy Cube was specially prepared for Mega Tyranitar and was very suitable for Rock-type Pokémon.

·· ·······Requesting flowers· ····

"Huh?" Tyranitar looked at the square brown cube in Gary's hand and wondered if it was edible.

"Try them. Don't underestimate these two small things; they're very filling. Eating them regularly will make your armor stronger," Xiao Mao said.

"Roar?" Upon hearing that it could enhance the armor's hardness, Tyranitar didn't hesitate at all. It lowered its head and opened its mouth, and Gary threw two Power Cubes directly into Tyranitar's mouth.

Bangjira chewed twice, swallowed, and immediately felt a sense of fullness, revealing an incredulous expression.

Normally, Tyranitar needs to eat a lot to fill its stomach in the wild, so it's amazing that just two small things can feed it.

0 .. ....

Gary is a breeder, and his talent in breeding is top-notch. These energy cubes were all developed by Gary from a young age. The food formula and energy cubes used by the Pokémon in Professor Oak's lab are also Gary's recipes.

For the rest of the time, Gary stayed in Indigo Plateau, sending his powerful Pokémon back to Professor Oak's lab for training, while he mainly trained the lower-level Pokémon.

Tyranitar stayed behind for individual training. Although Tyranitar was a high-level Pokémon, it was a wild Pokémon and was weak in battle. Even its Stone Edge attack was a single type and it didn't have a scattered Stone Blade attack, so it needed special training.

Gary had considered getting involved in the affairs of the new island, but then he remembered that when he encountered Mewtwo in Viridian City, he didn't trigger the system to issue a mission.

Based on my experience catching Zapdos, triggering a quest related to Mewtwo might require Gary to catch Mewtwo first.

Capturing Mewtwo isn't like an old man eating poison and having a death wish. For a Pokémon of Mewtwo's strength, it's enough to befriend it; as for capturing it, that's just wishful thinking.

So for the past two months, Xiao Mao has been constantly training his Pokémon. He has raised all of his Elite Four potential Pokémon, except for Electivire and Eevee, to level 50, which has cost him several Intermediate Rare Candies.

The other Pokémon all grew at the normal pace; although their levels didn't increase much, they all increased significantly on average.

141: Quartz Conference Opening Ceremony

Inside the Quartz Conference contestants' village.

Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Quartz Convention, but before the opening ceremony, the torch relay will take place. All the contestants have applied to be torchbearers. Xiao Mao did not join in the fun and stayed in the contestants' village to watch the torch relay on TV.

This naturally led to Ash and his two friends becoming the torchbearers.

"They really stand out wherever they go," Xiao Mao exclaimed.

"Huh? How did Ash and his friends become torchbearers?" Sabrina asked in surprise.

"Ash always likes to try new things. He probably met the torchbearers on the way and asked to be their escort," Gary said, waving his hand.

...!

As dusk fell, Ash and his friends arrived at the contestant village.

As soon as Gary saw Ash in the contestant village, he immediately complained, "Ash, you're so slow! I thought you were going to be late again."

"Xiao Mao!"

Ash said, "How could I possibly be late for such an important match? I will definitely fight to the very end and defeat you."

Shigeru smiled and glanced at the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
