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

Page 358

Pikachu crossed its arms and gave a "that's more like it" look.

Ash then asked, "Gary, did you use Pokémon you caught in the Sinnoh region to challenge the Gyms?"

"No, I used my old Pokémon to challenge the gym," Gary said.

"Huh? What's the point?" Ash asked, puzzled. Given Gary's strength, if he used the Pokémon he had raised before to fight in the gym, the gym battle would be meaningless, and even a bit unfair.

"It's not very interesting, but to participate in the Lily of the Valley Tournament, you have to collect all 8 badges. We can't just not challenge the Gym Leader because he's weak," said Shigeru.

"Hmm...you're right."

Ash didn't know how to argue for a moment. It was his freedom to choose which Pokémon to use to challenge the Gym Leader. He couldn't expect Gary to decide which Pokémon to use based on the Gym Leader's strength.

"Good luck in your gym battle tomorrow, I'm off now." Shigeru felt they had talked enough and it was time for him to go.

"Going? Gary, aren't you staying to watch Ash's gym battle?" Dawn asked.

"No, the Black Gold Gym is for new trainers. There's nothing interesting about these battles." Gary waved his hand and turned to leave.

As Xiao Guang watched Xiao Shi walk away, he asked softly, "Xiao Zhi, that Xiao Shi seems very arrogant, he doesn't respect the Gym Leader at all."

But Ash didn't respond to Dawn's question, instead adopting a thoughtful expression as if he were pondering something.

“Shark can be arrogant sometimes, but he also has the ability,” Brock answered for Ash.

"Is Xiao Mao very strong?" Xiao Guang asked curiously.

For the usually composed Xiao Gang to give such an evaluation, it must be something truly extraordinary.

"Very strong."

"How does it compare to the Four Heavenly Kings?"

Although Hikari didn't want to be a trainer, she still knew what the ceiling of a trainer's skill level was.

Hearing Xiaoguang ask this, Xiaogang frowned and thought for a long time before speaking: "It depends on the situation. If it's just a full-team battle, I'm not sure, but in a 3v3 battle, I think Xiaomao has a high probability of defeating the Four Heavenly Kings."

"What! They can defeat the Four Heavenly Kings!"

Xiao Guang looked incredulous, then noticed that Xiao Zhi and Pikachu both had serious expressions, which clearly reinforced the truthfulness of Xiao Gang's words.

"This is just my guess. Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we play the game," Xiao Gang said.

"That is not bad."

Seeing that Xiaogang was only making a deduction, Xiaoguang breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Xiaomao wasn't much older than Xiaoguang. It was terrifying that a 13-year-old child could defeat the Four Heavenly Kings.

"No, Brock wasn't wrong, Gary really did defeat one of the Elite Four," Ash said.

"what!"

"Ash, you're not kidding, are you?"

Xiao Gang and Xiao Guang were both dumbfounded.

Xiao Gang was just analyzing; he didn't really think that Xiao Shi could defeat the Four Heavenly Kings.

Seeing their surprise, Ash confessed, "It's true. When I came back from the Frontier, I passed by the Viridian Gym. At that time, Ms. Agatha was temporarily serving as the Viridian Gym Leader and invited me to battle. I lost. Gary arrived, and then Gary also had a one-on-one battle with Ms. Agatha, which Gary won."

"Are you talking about Xiao Mao acting as the manager?" Xiao Gang asked.

"Yes."

When Brock went to Professor Oak's lab, he heard from Professor Oak that Gary had become the temporary gym leader of Viridian Gym, but he didn't know that Gary had battled with Ms. Agatha.

"Who is Ms. Kikuko?"

As a local, Hikaru didn't know the Four Heavenly Kings from other regions.

"Ms. Kikuko is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of our Kanto region. Her strength is second only to Champion Wataru. She is a very strong veteran Heavenly King," Xiaogang introduced.

Hikaru's throat bobbed; he couldn't believe that Shigeru, at such a young age, had actually defeated the Four Heavenly Kings. It was simply too astonishing.

Even though it came from Xiaozhi, it was still unbelievable.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I'll catch up with Gary sooner or later. What I need to do now is defeat the Black Gold Gym." Ash quickly cheered up.

Although Ash currently has no way to defeat Gary, his main Pokémon are already at the Elite Four level, and he can fight against the Elite Four, but his chances of winning are relatively small.

Little Blue, unaware that Ash and the others were still discussing him, had already gone back to his room to rest.

...!

The next day.

Xiao Mao then went to Elf Department Store to get his flight gear.

"Guest, your flight gear."

The waiter brought out the protective gear that Xiao Mao had customized. Although it was called protective gear, it was actually a tool for riding flying spirits.

Gary released Garchomp and put a flight armor on it. The armor mainly covered Garchomp's back so that Gary could sit on it, and also covered the shark fin on its back with a layer of skin so that Gary could hold on with both hands.

"Alright, Garchomp, try moving around a bit and see if it affects your movement," Gary said.

"Crack!"

Garchomp came outside the store, waved its arms a few times, and swung its tail. There was no pulling sensation. Then it flew into the air to make sure there was no problem before flying back.

"How is it?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Crack."

Garchomp said it experienced absolutely no discomfort.

"Boss, pay up."

Shigeru paid the remaining money and then left Blackrock City on his Garchomp.

526: Hunter J

"Wow! That was fast!"

Feeling the wind hitting his body, Xiao Mao exclaimed how exciting it was.

Riding on Magneton before was so slow, but now riding on Garchomp is incredibly fast. If it weren't for the fact that my body couldn't handle it, Garchomp could be even faster.

In just 3 hours, we've traversed half of the Sinnoh region and are almost at Floritown.

Just as Garchomp was about to reach Flower Garden Town, it suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Crack."

Garchomp warns of something happening below.

Xiao Mao tilted his head and looked down. He saw a dark green armored vehicle below, surrounded by several men in black uniforms. In front of these men stood a woman with short silver hair.

"J!!"

When Shigeru saw the woman in the lead, he was immediately startled, not expecting Hunter J to appear here.

Hunter J is an elf hunter who specializes in capturing elves on commission, and her elf-capturing methods differ from those of other elf hunters.

When a spirit hunter is commissioned, they usually go out into the wild to find a target. However, Hunter J is different; she goes directly to capture other people's spirits.

Going to the wild to find the Pokémon requested by the client is a huge waste of time. It's much better to catch the Pokémon of trainers. You can easily find out what Pokémon trainers have nearby by asking around or hacking into the Pokémon Center's database, and then just go and steal them.

That's why Hunter J was wanted by the Sinnoh League. However, due to Hunter J's strength, ordinary trainers are no match for her. The Pokémon she has are not very strong. The key is that she has a black technology, which is a gun that can petrify Pokémon.

Any target hit by the beam of the petrification gun will be petrified and unable to move. Even legendary Pokémon cannot withstand it. Although there is an element of surprise attack involved, once petrified by the three legendary mushrooms, one cannot remove the petrification on their own.

At this moment, the person standing opposite J was a young trainer who released an Aggron.

“Someone wants your Aggron!” Hunter J said, raising his hand towards Aggron.

Neither Aggron nor its trainer had ever witnessed J's advanced technology, and they thought J was just making a spectacle of himself. After all, Aggron has a very strong defense, and firearms wouldn't be able to harm it in the slightest.

biu! !

A golden-brown beam of light shot out from the muzzle and hit Bossdora.

"Dora..."

Aggron suddenly found itself unable to mobilize its elemental power, and its body became stiff. The places on its body that were hit by the beam began to petrify, and the petrification continued to spread. Soon, Aggron became a stone statue.

"What! What did you do to my Aggron?!" the young trainer exclaimed in disbelief.

“Now… Aggron is no longer yours.” J waved his hand, and a disc with a diameter of 1.5 meters flew out from the armored vehicle behind him, arrived at Aggron’s feet, shrunk, and produced transparent glass that covered Aggron. Then, it floated up and flew to the armored vehicle.

"Give me back my Aggron!" the young man roared as he charged forward.

"Ariados, use String Shot." J casually tossed out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

A giant spider appeared, and Ariados spun its silk and entangled the youth.

"Damn it, you bunch of guys, bring Bosscodora back!" the young man roared in frustration, but there was nothing he could do to J and the others.

"retreat."

J had no intention of killing anyone. She had no worries about stealing the elves, but if she did kill someone, the Officer Jenny family and the Interpol would not let her off the hook.

J is ultimately a businessman; harmony brings wealth, after all.

However, just as J and his group were about to retreat, a golden arc of electricity struck down from the sky and landed on the armored vehicle.

Instantly, the armored vehicle became unable to start; there was a problem with the magnetic force.

"who!"

Everyone was startled and immediately looked up at the sky, where they saw a Magneton that looked like a UFO appearing in the sky.

"Don't look up, look here."

A voice came from behind them, and the group saw a boy with two Pokémon beside him: Garchomp and Gardevoir.

J frowned at first, but his eyes lit up when he saw Garchomp and Gardevoir. Both Gardevoir and Garchomp were worth a lot of money on the black market.

If J hadn't been wearing glasses, Xiao Mao would have wanted to gouge her eyes out if he had seen her with such an aggressive look.

"Salamander, use Flamethrower!"

"Ariados, use Nightshade."
