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

wrong!

Shouldn't you be here to comfort Cucumber Fragrance?

While you deserve to receive the symbol of perseverance, it depends on the timing.

"Miss Cucumber Fragrance, whether you resign or not is none of my business. If you don't want to be the leader, plenty of people would be willing to be. One game has destroyed your fighting spirit. You're so useless. You're not even qualified to be a junior follower. You still consider my master as a goal to surpass. You're really embarrassing my master," Xiao Mao complained.

"Who...who is your master?" Despite the aroma of cucumbers, he was still curious about who Xiao Mao's master was.

“My master is Ah Si from the Azure Dojo,” Xiao Mao said.

"What!!"

Cucumber Fragrance and Ashida exclaimed in unison, both looking surprised.

They never expected that Xiao Mao was actually Ah Si's apprentice, and Ah Si's status in the fighting world was like that of a towering figure.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and give me the Perseverance Symbol. I'm in a hurry to challenge the next battle facility. Don't waste my time," Xiao Mao urged.

"for you."

After being lectured by Xiao Mao, Huang Guaxiang was a little confused and handed the golden symbol of perseverance to Xiao Mao.

"Farewell."

Xiao Mao received the symbol of perseverance and turned to leave.

[Ding! Mission complete. Rewards have been sent to your inventory.]

483: EX oppressive feeling

After watching Shigeru leave, Cucumber Fragrance said to Ashida, "Mr. Ashida, I apologize for what I did just now. I was really being irrational."

“It’s alright. I know you lost your temper for a moment. Think things through before making any decisions in the future,” Ashida comforted her.

"I will."

The cucumber nodded.

Xiao Mao just gave her a lecture, which actually woke up Cucumber Fragrance from her stubbornness.

...!

After leaving the Battle Arena, Gary rode Charizard back to the Pokémon Center.

Despite the battle, Charizard wasn't seriously injured, and flying was no problem for it. Since the distance wasn't far, Nurse Joy could heal it.

Shigeru went outside, released Glaceon, and used the Silver Crown to raise Glaceon's potential to Champion level.

Gary plans to boost the strength of the Pokémon in the Sinnoh region as much as possible before the Sinnoh League Conference begins.

"Weavile, come out." Gary releases Weavile.

"Nui?" Niu Niu saw the Ice Sprite beside it and wondered why Gary had let it and the Ice Sprite out.

Mavira: (^o^)/~ Viagra!!

Weavile seemed to have guessed what Gary was going to do, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Although Manneken Pis was laughing, her laughter was so innocent and naive that it seemed strange to those who saw it.

"Since you guessed it, here you go." Xiao Mao reached out and placed his hand on Weavile's cold head, using an Ability Enhancement Stone on it.

Gary's Weavile has the Overpower ability, which makes opponents spend more than twice as much energy to use moves.

Xiao Mao was very curious about what the effects would be after the oppressive feeling was enhanced.

[Ding! Characteristic Enhancement Stone successfully used.]

Xiao Mao immediately checked the data on Mavira.

【Elf: Mavila♂】

[Attribute: evil, ice]

【Level: 56】

[Potential: Champion]

【Special Feature: EX Pressure (When the opponent is under pressure, using skills consumes double the energy, and skill power is reduced by one-quarter.)】

[Skills: Grab, Gaze, Taunt, Quick Attack, Metal Claw, Frozen Wind, Surprise Attack, Wild Scratches, Sharpening Claws, Ambush, Steal, Punishment, Dark Pulse.]

[Teachable skills: Mega Kick, Explosive Punch, Dig, Sleep, Hyper Beam, Shadow Claw, Iron Tail, Ice Punch, Power Punch, Water Splash, Reflect.]

【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】

The energy consumption remains the same, but the enhancement reduces the skill's power by a quarter, which is equivalent to a 25% reduction in power—a decent improvement.

"It doesn't actually increase energy consumption?" Xiao Mao said with slight dissatisfaction.

Compared to reducing skill power, Xiao Mao would prefer to increase energy consumption. If energy consumption were increased by 4 times, even against opponents of similar level, the opponent would probably not be able to use the skill more than a few times before being unable to use it again. Even if they could use it, the power and scale would be extremely low.

"accustomed to?"

Weavile couldn't sense the change in its ability, but it could tell that Gary seemed dissatisfied.

"It's alright, your ability has been enhanced, but this enhancement won't be of much use to you," said Xiao Mao.

"accustomed to?"

Mavila couldn't understand why, even after all her buffs, they weren't making much of a difference.

"Your special ability has been enhanced. Enemies who fight against you will be affected by your oppressive aura, and their skill power will be reduced," Xiao Shio informed him.

Mavira: "Viagra? (O_o)??"

This is a promotion, so why aren't you happy?

"In a one-on-one fight, this won't work for you. It only reduces the power of the skill by a quarter. If the opponent's skill hits you, you will still suffer heavy damage," Xiao Mao said.

"Nui?" Manui looked puzzled. The opponent's skill power had been reduced, so why was she still suffering heavy damage?

Looking at Weavile, who seemed completely clueless, Gary was very skeptical of the Pokédex's description of Weavile.

“You’re a fragile character yourself. Your defenses are weak, and you don’t have enough stamina,” Xiao Mao said.

Mavira: "Vibranium...! (ΩДΩ)...!"

Mallow has a deep understanding of the importance of crispy skin.

Especially inside Professor Oak's lab, when sparring with Gary's other Pokémon, it can only rely on its speed and Shadow Clone to confuse its opponents, look for opportunities to launch surprise attacks, or directly confront them head-on.

However, if Weavile is hit by another Pokémon even once, it will suffer serious damage.

Even though EX Pressure can reduce some damage, Weavile has low HP and low physical defense. It can withstand some special attack moves, but against physical attack moves, a 25% reduction is really not enough.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

"Don't be sad, it's not so bad. At least you'll still be very useful in doubles battles, especially when teaming up with defensive Pokémon. Your ability will still be a big advantage," Gary thought to himself.

"accustomed to!"

Weavile was overjoyed, realizing that it survived in the wild by working in teams. In that case, the EX Intimidation skill was quite effective.

We, the Mannura, believe in group fights; one-on-one combat is no skill at all.

"Prepare well, we'll need you for the competition in the next couple of days," Xiao Mao said.

"Weavile!" Weavile was overjoyed. Since following Gary, the only competition it had ever participated in was the Gym Tournament. Weavile hadn't even made a move at the Silver Conference.

.. 0 ....

"The next match is doubles, which will be a good opportunity to test your strengths," Xiao Mao said.

The third battle facility that Shigeru will challenge is the Battle Dome. The pioneer of the Battle Dome is a man named Heather, a superstar, and he plays doubles matches.

Xiao Mao gets a headache whenever he thinks about Shi Nan.

Shi Nan's style of dressing is even more beaker-like than Mikoli's, and it's quite popular.

I really don't understand what people in this world are thinking. They've discovered that the more revealing a man's clothes are, the more popular he becomes. The fan culture here is truly bizarre.

Buzz!! Buzzing buzz!!

The roar of an engine filled the air as a red supercar sped up, stopped in front of Xiao Mao, and kicked up a cloud of dust.

"Cough cough!"

"Ahem...!"

Xiao Mao, the Ice Sprite, and the Weavile were all choked and coughing.

"Xiao Mao, I knew you'd be here." The person in the sports car was naturally Ashida, who had rushed over here after leaving the arena.

"Mr. Ashida, could you drive a little slower next time?" Xiao Mao said, suppressing the urge to punch him.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry," Ashida quickly apologized.

"Never mind. I forgive you."

Ashida chuckled and said, "Shigeru, the next match is against the Dome. When are you planning to go to Vermilion City?"

The Battle Dome was built in the luxurious Vermilion City because Heather is a superstar, so naturally he wouldn't build the Battle Facility in a remote place.

484: Battle of the Giant Dome

"Tomorrow, after Charizard is healed, I'll fly straight to Vermilion City," Gary said.

"Tomorrow!" Ashida was taken aback, then explained, "Shirley, Heather is not weak, and the match against the Dome is a doubles game. I suggest you hold off for now."

"There's no need, I won't lose," Xiao Mao said.

“Alright, then I’ll head to Kurenai City first.” Ashida said, then drove off ahead.

After Charizard recovered, Gary rode Moltres to Vermilion City and arrived at the Pokémon Center before nightfall.

...!

Spend the night at the Pokémon Center in Vermilion City.

the next day.

Ashida personally came to the Pokémon Center to pick up Gary to battle the Giant Dome.
