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

"Here's the thing, Uncle, I found a Z-Crystal in the Hoenn region. I don't have a Z-Bracelet, could you send me one?" Shigeru said, taking out the Fire Z-Crystal.

"You're really lucky to have found a Z-Crystal." Oki Seiya didn't doubt the truth of Shigeru's words.

After all, Z-Crystals are mostly found by picking them up in the Alola region. Although no Z-Crystals have been found in other regions, the Z-Crystal that Gary picked up was most likely lost by someone else.

"It's alright, but without the Z-bracelet, this Z-crystal is pretty useless," Xiao Mao said.

“The Z-Bracelet is fine, I can send you one, but why did you end up in the Hoenn region?” Shigeya Oki asked, puzzled.

"I'm here to challenge the Hoenn League's Sakura Tournament," said Gary.

"How should I give you the Z-Bracelet? Should I send it directly to Oki's lab?" Oki asked.

"Just mail it to the Pokémon Center in Mossdeep City, I'll wait here," Gary said.

Although the Hoenn and Alola regions are far apart, sending packages is still relatively fast, taking only half a month.

"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow." Oki knew that Shigeru was going to attend the League Conference, so sending it quickly wouldn't take up too much of Shigeru's time.

"Thank you very much, Uncle," Xiao Mao said gratefully.

"You're welcome. Come visit the Alola region sometime. I have a trainer school here with many outstanding students. Since you've won the league championship, you can come and mentor them," said Shigeya Oki.

The Alola region is relatively underdeveloped; it hasn't even established a League yet, and there aren't even any Gym Leaders. That's why Masaru Oak devoted himself to the Alola region without hesitation to help it develop.

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time," Xiao Mao said.

"It's settled then, bye-bye!"

"Goodbye, Uncle!"

hang up the phone.

Xiao Mao went to the cafeteria for lunch.

I ran into Ash and his friends at the cafeteria. During our conversation, I learned that Ash and his friends were planning to leave Mossdeep City the next day. Because they were in a hurry, they couldn't stay in one place for long.

Meanwhile, Shigeru is waiting for Masaru's package, so he'll stay in Mossdeep City to train his Pokémon.

It just so happens that Xiao Mao also plans to give his Pokémon some serious training, and since Mudkip is already level 33, just 3 levels away from evolving, half a month of special training should be enough to raise its level.

...!

Day two.

Xiao Mao found a place in the suburbs to train.

Because the Pokémon caught in the Hoenn region have already evolved, and since their strength was low before, they can be trained in public areas.

But now that everyone's strength has broken through to the Gym level, it is no longer suitable for battle trainers to compete in public areas; they can only compete outside.

Of course, the morning is still physical training, and the afternoon is for actual combat training.

At 2 p.m., the live-fire training began.

"You've changed your training partner today," Xiao Mao warned.

The Pokémon in the Hoenn region all looked puzzled. Their usual afternoon battle opponents were either Eevee or Gigantamax Rhydon, but today they were going to have a different opponent, and they were all very curious about who it was.

"Tyranitar, say hello to your new partner." Gary casually tossed out a Poké Ball.

"class!"

Gary's Tyranitar makes its appearance.

"twitter!"

"Chap moo!"

"What the hell...!"

When the Pokémon saw Tyranitar, they were all stunned by its arrogant and disdainful gaze.

"Everyone, this is Tyranitar, your senior. It's even stronger than Eevee. It will be training you from now on," said Gary.

Class 2.9

Tyranitar sized up the seven Pokémon that Gary had caught in the Hoenn region. Of the seven Pokémon, only Slaking and Aggron caught Tyranitar's attention; the other five were not worth Tyranitar's notice.

That's just how elves are; they only think that elves with large bodies are powerful.

"Tyranitar is a Rock/Dark type, and that's all I can tell you. Your mission for the next two weeks is to defeat Tyranitar."

"Let's start now."

After saying that, Xiao Mao stepped aside to observe.

"class!"

Newcomers, let Master Ban show you your skills!

"Dora!!"

Aggron, being the highest-level of the seven Pokémon, couldn't stand the arrogant Tyranitar and used Heavy Charge to charge at Tyranitar.

426: Special Training, a Chance Encounter with Dr. Solans

Tyranitar gave a wicked smile, watching Aggron charge towards it without making any defense. It waited for Aggron to get close before suddenly thrusting out a palm strike.

when!.

Tyranitar withdrew its hand, its elbow slightly bent, but it still managed to force Aggron to a stop.

"Doraemon...Σ(△|||)!!"

Aggron couldn't believe that it had been stopped by Tyranitar. In previous training battles, even Eevee couldn't do that.

"class!"

As a newcomer, I still need more practice.

Tyranitar grabbed Aggron's armor and lifted it up like a chick, throwing it away without using any special moves, relying solely on its own strength.

Tyranitar's body possesses terrifying power to change mountains and rivers; even Aggron with the Heavy Metal ability is nothing compared to Tyranitar's power.

"Swamp!"

Mudkip suddenly launched an attack, spraying a water jet that instantly hit Tyranitar. The area hit by the water jet was cleaned up quite a bit, but it did not cause any damage to Tyranitar.

The other Pokémon all showed expressions of shock. You see, even when Tyranitar was training, it didn't dare to easily withstand Mudkip's Water-type moves, but Tyranitar dared to take Water Gun head-on.

"Dora!" Aggron immediately reminded everyone that this Tyranitar was not an opponent that could be dealt with alone, and that everyone had to work together to attack in order to have a chance of defeating it.

The elves nodded, each preparing to unleash their signature ranged attack skills.

"class!"

So, you guys want to dance too?

Tyranitar gave a wicked smile, and a huge sandstorm swept around, trapping all eight Pokémon inside.

The Pokémon were dumbfounded. This wasn't a sandstorm at all; the sand grains were the size of marbles, and they hurt when they hit them. Moreover, there were so many sand grains that their vision was terribly reduced, and they couldn't even see Tyranitar's figure.

Boom!

boom!

boom...!!

Various sounds came from the sandstorm, including explosions, collisions, and the sound of the ground collapsing.

Armored Dragon: "Thump! (ΩДΩ)!"

When the sandstorm subsided, the armored dragon was stunned to see its fallen companion.

Because Shellder needs to accumulate power to evolve, and battles will deplete the accumulated energy, Gary didn't let Shellder participate in actual combat training.

Currently, only the Shellder and Mudkip remain to evolve.

However, Gary didn't expect Shellder to level up normally on its own. Once he got the 8th badge, Gary would use Rare Candy to raise Shellder's level to 50, allowing it to evolve into Salamence.

"class!"

Tyranitar looked at the newcomers it had defeated and felt it was pointless; it was much more exciting to fight Blastoise and the others at Professor Oak's lab.

"Don't be bored. Although they're not strong now, they'll catch up with you sooner or later. Just train them properly," Xiao Mao comforted him.

Xiao Mao's Tyranitar has a very arrogant personality. Although its temper is just as bad as that of a wild Tyranitar, it doesn't like to fight weak Pokémon and usually ignores them when it encounters them.

If it weren't for Xiao Mao's sake, it definitely wouldn't want to be a sparring partner.

"class!"

Banjira turned its head to the side, and it was unclear whether it meant to agree.

Xiao Mao smiled, knowing that Tyranitar was just being arrogant, and didn't say anything more.

"Xiao Mao!" a voice came from behind.

Xiao Mao immediately turned around and saw Dr. Solans, who was wearing a white lab coat.

"Dr. Solans!" Shigeru exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

At this time of day, Solans should be at work, and Shigeru has found a place in the suburbs to train his Pokémon; hardly anyone comes here.

“I’m off today. I noticed the weather changing over here, so I came to check it out.” Solans said, then looked at Tyranitar, pointed at it, and asked, “Was the sandstorm just now caused by Tyranitar?”

It was only then that Gary realized that the Tyranitar's sandbag range was too large. Although it was somewhat controlled, the range was still quite large, which is why Dr. Thorance discovered it.

“Yes, I train Pokémon here,” said Gary.

"I see."

Dr. Solans looked around and saw signs of battle everywhere, and seven Pokémon were lying on the ground. He was puzzled.

Is this really training a Pokémon?

Why are there so many elves lying on the ground?

"It was a real battle training session. They were all defeated by Tyranitar. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Professor." With that, Gary recalled the seven defeated Pokémon.

One day of practical training is enough; they'll need to be sent for treatment later.

"Dr. Solans, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now," said Xiao Mao.

"No, I should thank you instead," Solans said. "Last time, it was because we misjudged people that so many things happened afterward. I heard from Mr. Daigo that if it weren't for your help, even more people would have been sacrificed."
