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

Page 47

Ash's Pikachu is only level 30. As expected of Pikachu, its leveling speed is already very fast, but it's still not enough.

[Ding! A mission has been issued: Accept Ash's challenge and defeat him / Reward: 10 Low-level Rare Candies, 10 Mid-level Rare Candies, 1 Bronze Crown.]

Shigeru had initially intended to refuse, planning to postpone his duel with Ash.

But if the system's task is triggered, then you have no choice but to accept it.

The key point is that defeating Ash gives you quite a few rewards: 10 low-level and 10 mid-level Rare Candies, and a bronze crown, which can enhance a Pokémon's potential.

This battle must be accepted.

At the same time, this also indirectly proves that Ash's strength is still quite good at this stage, and he is stronger than the average gym leader.

"In that case, how about a 3-on-3 match?" Xiao Mao said.

"Okay, I couldn't be happier." Xiao Zhi agreed without any hesitation.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were both looking forward to it, after all, Xiaomao was Ash's formidable rival. Throughout their journey, every time Ash contacted Professor Oak, he would ask about Xiaomao's condition.

Moreover, every dojo that Xiao Shigeru challenged along the way bore the mark of his past, and every dojo master praised him.

According to the original storyline, Gary obtained ten badges, of which only the Dark Grey Badge, Blue Grey Badge, and Rainbow Badge overlapped with the badges Ash obtained. Gary obtained the other seven badges from other gyms.

But of the badges that Gary has obtained so far, apart from the pure white badge, the other 5 badges overlap with Ash's. Every time Ash challenges a gym, he introduces where he comes from.

Those gym leaders who were defeated by Shigeru naturally mentioned that Shigeru had challenged their gyms.

...!

Although the hot spring town is a leisure paradise, it is also a world of elves, where there are battlegrounds everywhere, and the hot spring town is no exception.

Shigeru and Satoshi arrived at the battlefield and stood in the command area respectively.

"I'll be the referee." Of the remaining three, Xiao Gang was the only man, so he volunteered to be the referee.

Neither Xiaomao nor Xiaozhi had any objections.

"Miss Sabrina, is Shigeru very strong?" Misty asked from the sidelines.

Although Xiaoxia had met Xiaoshi once, so much time had passed that she still didn't know Xiaoshi's exact strength. Moreover, she learned some information about Xiaoshi from the gym owners along the way.

Xiaoxia concluded from this information that Xiaomao was a very strong trainer.

"He must be very strong. I've never seen Shigeru lose." Sabrina's assessment of Shigeru's strength was still objective.

Xiaoxia was shocked.

She knew that Gary and Ash were both newcomers, and although Ash was very strong, he had lost many battles.

In comparison, Gary is clearly stronger than Ash.

"We're now having a 3-on-3 match. Please send out your Pokémon," Brock announced.

"Pipika, I choose you."

While Gary was still deciding who to start, Ash threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

A valiant Pidgey makes its appearance.

【LV27 Pidgeot ♂/Near-Elite Four】

Gary was surprised. He had thought Ash's Pidgeotto only had the potential to become a Gym Leader, but he never expected it to have the potential to become a near-Elite One.

As expected of a chosen one, even a Pidgey that he casually captured has such high potential.

Shigeru searched for over a month but couldn't find a single Pidgey or Pidgeotto with the potential to become a Gym Leader.

Ash randomly encountered a Pidgey with the potential to become a Champion, which is truly enviable.

"You're in charge of Zubat." Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

"clatter!"

When the beaked bat came out and saw the Pidgey, it was startled, but upon closer inspection, it realized that this Pidgey was not the one it was familiar with, so it wasn't too worried.

"Goblin...?" Ash didn't know much about Pokémon at the moment, so he immediately took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the Goblin.

"Zucbat, a bat-type Poison/Flying, is the evolved form of Zubat. Zubat has sharp teeth and will suck 300cc of blood from its bite."

Upon hearing the Pokédex's description, Ash immediately pondered, "Poison and Flying types, no type advantage."

"Ash, since you sent out your Pokémon first, I'll let you go first," Gary said confidently.

"Alright, Pidgeotto, use Quick Attack." Ash didn't hold back and issued the command directly.

"Compare!"

Pidgey flapped its wings, leaving a white trail, and rushed towards Zubat. Although it was accelerated by a flash of lightning, the speed of Pidgey was not very fast in the eyes of Zubat, and it could easily keep up.

“Cross-shaped poison blade!” Xiao Mao said slowly.

"clatter!"

The Zubat's wings were covered in a venomous coating. It used its wings to block forward, and bang! The two collided and bounced back. The Zubat then flapped its wings, and wind-cutting blades formed by wind element chased after Pidgeotto.

"The wind rises!"

Upon hearing the sound, Pidgey flapped its wings, and a fierce gust of wind blew by, trying to blow away the air blades. However, Pidgey clearly overestimated its ability to create wind, and the air blades passed through the gale and landed on Pidgey.

"what!"

Ash was shocked; he hadn't expected to lose in a battle of skills.

"Cross Poison Blade!"

Whoosh! !

The Zubat transformed into a blue phantom and rushed towards Pidgey. Pidgey had no time to react and was approached by the Zubat. Its wings transformed into poisonous blades, flashing past and swatting Pidgey away. Pidgey cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

"Compare!"

Bang! !

Pidgey fell to the ground, its face suddenly turning blue.

"Pidgeotto, what's wrong?" Ash noticed that Pidgeotto's expression was off and didn't know what had happened.

"Ash, Pidgeotto is poisoned," Misty warned.

"What! How could I be poisoned?" Ash asked, puzzled.

Chapter 67: VS Ash

Seeing Ash's confusion, Gary explained, "Ash, you've been a trainer for so long, don't you know that if you're hit by a Poison-type move, there's a chance your opponent will be poisoned?"

"Moreover, in close combat, even if it's just exchanging moves and making physical contact, there's a risk of poisoning."

"What! Such a thing actually happened?"

This was the first time Xiao Zhi had ever heard of something like this.

"I really don't understand how you got five badges. Zubat used its Poison Blade to take down Pidgeotto," Gary commanded.

"Pidgeotto, hang in there! Use Quick Attack!" Ash shouted.

"Compare!"

Pidgey shook its head, regaining some of its senses. With a light leap, it flapped its wings and unleashed a lightning bolt to meet the attack.

Pidgey and Zubat collided in a phase collision.

boom! ! !

The two Pokémon collided and bounced apart. The poisoned Pidgeotto was in poor condition and fell to the ground again.

"Ultrasonic!" Shigeru realized that Pidgey wasn't so easy to defeat, so he decided to give it another negative buff.

"clatter!!!"

The Zubat transformed its ultrasonic waves into a straight sound wave, which struck the Pidgey.

"Compare!"

The piercing ultrasound threw Pidgey into chaos, and now Pidgey was doomed.

"Pidgeotto, come back quickly!" Ash immediately recalled Pidgeotto into its Poké Ball.

Gary didn't stop Ash from recalling Pidgeotto. Since it was already poisoned, recalling it to resolve the confusion wouldn't make much difference.

"Pikachu, I'm counting on you." Ash didn't hesitate and decided to send Pikachu into battle.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu immediately rushed out from Ash's side.

"Phew! Thank goodness you knew to use Pikachu." Misty breathed a sigh of relief; she was very worried that Ash would send out Bulbasaur.

"Go back and rest, Zubat." However, Shigeru recalled Zubat.

Ash's Pikachu is Pikachu the god of Pokémon, and Gary wouldn't dare to mess with it, especially not with a Pokémon that has a type disadvantage.

Ash should keep the title of "Master of Reversing Types" to himself.

"Primarina, you go!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

"Miggle."

The spherical Infernape makes its appearance.

"Oh, it's a Primeape." Ash said with a look of surprise when he saw the Primeape.

Seeing Ash's change in expression, Gary asked, "What? You have a problem with me having a Primeape?"

"No, I just caught a Primeape too," Ash said.

Gary initially suspected that the Mankey he caught wasn't the same one Ash had, and it turned out to be true. Looking at it this way, Gary felt that he was pretty lucky, at least he encountered a wild Pokémon with the potential to become a Champion.

"Shall we have a battle between two Infernapes?" Gary asked.

"That's fine. I left my Infernal at the Battle Spirit Gym for training; I didn't bring it with me," Ash said.
