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

Page 89

Shigeru wondered, if a Shellder with higher potential were to bite Slowpoke's tail, would the evolved Slowbro's potential be based on Slowpoke's or on Shellder's?

If both sides have the same potential, can their potential increase by one level after evolving together?

"Where to next?" Sabrina asked. She didn't ask about Gary's gym challenge, knowing that Gary was very strong and getting a badge would be a piece of cake for him.

“We’ll go to Viridian City, then return to Pallet Town, and I’ll take you to see my house,” Shigeru said.

"Ah."

Naza nodded obediently. Although she wasn't particularly interested in these things, she was still a little shy about meeting Mao's family, but she remained calm on the surface.

"By the way, Sabrina, do you want to try evolving Slowpoke into Slowbro?" Gary asked.

"Slowpoke is fine as it is, I don't plan to evolve it for now." Sabrina still prefers Slowpoke's current form.

"Since you like it, then so be it. Pack your things quickly, and we'll head to Tokiwa City tomorrow," said Shigeru.

...... ...... ...

"Ah."

The next morning, the two rode their mountain bikes to Tokiwa City. They took a shortcut and arrived in Tokiwa City in just one week.

Xiao Shi's current growth status with his Pokémon.

Ibrahimovic LV34-35!

Magnemite LV30-32!

Electabuzz LV34-36!

Crossbat LV41-42!

Alakazam LV42-44!

Zapdos LV60!

...!

The Pokémon Center in Viridian City.

"Ah, isn't this Mr. Shigeru!"

Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, Gary was recognized by Nurse Joy, because Gary had arrested Team Rocket, otherwise there would have been a great loss.

"Yes, it's been a long time. I hope Miss Joey is doing well these days," said Xiao Mao.

"Don't even mention it. Recently, Mr. Giovanni of the Viridian Gym has suddenly lowered the challenge requirements for some reason, which has led to a lot of trainers coming to challenge him. Every time a trainer goes to challenge him, all of his Pokémon are defeated, which has kept me very busy," Nurse Joy said with a headache.

Shigeru was quite surprised. It seemed that Giovanni had begun testing Mewtwo's fighting power and lowered the challenge conditions so that Mewtwo could fight to its heart's content.

However, Giovanni is also out of his mind. What is Mewtwo's strength? Although its current strength has not reached its peak, only trainers at the level of the Elite Four are qualified to be Mewtwo's opponent.

Chapter 126: Viridian Gym

"Why did the Viridian Gym Leader suddenly lower the challenge level?" Gary asked knowingly, hoping to find out some information about Mewtwo.

“I don’t know about that, but according to the challenger, Mr. Giovanni recently acquired a pretty good Pokémon and wants to test its strength. If you defeat Mr. Giovanni’s other Pokémon, he will send out that newly captured Pokémon to battle,” Joy said.

"What kind of spirit is that?"

"I don't know. According to the challenger's description, the Pokémon was wearing armor and was a Psychic-type Pokémon. It doesn't seem to be a Pokémon from the Kanto region; it's probably from another area," Joy deduced.

The Pokédex is not yet complete. People in the Kanto region have very little knowledge of Pokémon from other regions. When they encounter a Pokémon they have never seen before, they simply assume it is from another region and that they have never seen it before.

"Little Gary, don't you know 'Five, Six, Seven'?" Sabrina asked curiously when she heard that it was a Psychic-type Pokémon.

“There are many types of Psychic-type Pokémon, and the opponent is wearing armor, so I can’t really tell what kind of Pokémon it is. I’ll only know after I see it,” said Xiao Shi.

“I’ll go with you,” Naz said.

On the way here, Sabrina had heard from Gary that the Viridian Gym had very high restrictions on challenges. Only trainers with 7 or more badges could challenge it, and even if they were qualified, they still had to make an appointment. The Gym was more prestigious than Sabrina's, which made Sabrina a little curious.

“Okay, but I’ll go and replace the Pokémon first,” said Shigeru.

Upon arriving at the teleporter, Gary dialed Professor Oak's number, and the call was quickly connected.

"Shigeru, where are you traveling to?" Professor Oak asked.

Professor Oak was well aware of Gary's travel progress and knew that Gary had collected all the badges and could return at any time.

"We're in Viridian City now. Once I get the Viridian Gym Badge, I'll go back with Sabrina," Gary said.

When it comes to Natsumi, she naturally stands behind Shigeru.

"Oh, Sabrina, hello there." Professor Oak greeted Sabrina as well.

"Hello, Professor Oak," Sabrina replied with a smile.

Although Naz is aloof, she is still very polite when she meets her elders.

"Grandpa, could you teleport my Blastoise, Gigantamax Rhydon, Aerodactyl, and Scizor over here?" Gary asked.

"You want these Pokémon? They're all your main Pokémon. Do you really need to bring so many when you challenge a gym?" Professor Oak asked, puzzled. He knew very well which Pokémon Gary had as his main Pokémon, and these four were the highest-level Pokémon Gary had.

Even if the Viridian Gym is strong, it doesn't need to send out all its main forces.

"I heard that the Gym Leader of Viridian City has captured a very strong Pokémon that no one has been able to defeat yet, so I want to give it a try," said Gary.

"Really? Then you'd better do your best. I'll go get you a Pokémon," Professor Oak said.

So, Gary teleported all four of his Pokémon except Zapdos and Alakazam to Professor Oak's lab.

After getting the Poké Balls, Gary went to the public area behind the Pokémon Center, opened the five Poké Balls, and released his Pokémon.

【LV53 Blastoise♂/Near Legendary】

【LV51 Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex ♂/Near-Elite Four】

【LV50 Fossil Pterosaur ♂/Uranus】

【LV44 Alakazam ♂/Elite Four】

【LV45 Scizor (male)/Elite Four】

Gary mainly checked Scizor's level. After not seeing it for a while, Scizor had reached level 45. After all, it was one of the first Pokémon to follow Gary, so its level was pretty good, comparable to Ash's Charizard.

This shows that Ash is still somewhat behind Gary in training Pokémon.

Gary walked over to Blastoise and Tyrannosaurus Rex, placed his hands on their bodies, and taught them the move Burst Punch.

Then I went to Alakazam and Scizor and spent 11 Medium Rare Candies to raise their levels to 50.

Six Pokémon of level 50 or higher should be able to go toe-to-toe with that Mewtwo.

"twitter!"

"Hu!"

Scizor and Alakazam also felt their strength suddenly increase significantly, and they looked at Gary in shock.

They had naturally experienced this feeling before, but it was at level 27, and they hadn't experienced it for a long time afterward. They never expected to experience it again this time.

"I'll only help you improve to this level for now, but I'll help you become even stronger in the future."

Xiao Shigeru said, "Tomorrow's gym battle will be against an unprecedentedly strong opponent. Let's rest well today and fight with all our might tomorrow."

"Kami!"

"Roar!!"

"...!"

The five sprites nodded in agreement...

They didn't know what kind of opponent it was, but they were very curious. A Pokémon that could attract such attention from Gary must be extraordinary.

Gary's Pokémon can see any opponent clearly, but they will never see an opponent that Gary considers a formidable foe.

"Come in and have a good rest."

After explaining everything, Gary recalled all his Pokémon. He decided to rest for the day and challenge the Viridian Gym tomorrow.

...!

Early the next morning.

Gary and Sabrina set off together for the entrance of the Viridian Gym. As soon as they arrived, they saw three familiar figures, which were none other than Ash and his two friends.

Gary was quite surprised. He thought he would be separated from Ash and his friends this time, but he didn't expect to meet them again at the entrance of the Viridian Gym.

"Xiao Mao!"

"Nazi!"

Ash and his friends were all surprised to see Gary and Sabrina, as they hadn't expected to run into them again.

"Isn't this Ash? Aren't you supposed to be on Cinnabar Island?" Gary said.

It's been more than half a month since their encounter on Cinnabar Island. Gary has disrupted the timeline, so even if Ash wants to get the Cinnabar Badge, it will probably take him some time and won't be as smooth as in the original story.

"I've already defeated Blaine and earned the badge. Now I only need one more badge to qualify for the Indigo League. 4.2," Ash said.

"You're so slow at collecting badges," Xiao Shigeru complained.

"You..." Ash was speechless. After all, he had seen Gary with 10 badges on the cruise ship last time. After not seeing him for a while, he probably had even more badges.

"I've challenged almost all the gyms in the Kanto region, and now I only have the Viridian Gym badge left."

Xiao Shi said, "I heard that the Viridian City Gym Leader has captured a very strong Pokémon. I'll go and defeat that Pokémon until it's unable to battle, so it will be easier for you to challenge it later. This way, your chances of getting the badge will be higher."

"I don't need your help. I can beat that Pokémon by myself." Ash doesn't need Gary's help; he's always considered Gary a formidable rival.

"That's not up to you, Sabrina. Let's go in." Gary led Sabrina into the gym.

Chapter 127: VS. Itagi

"I'd like to see if you can defeat that elf."

Seeing Gary and Sabrina go inside, Ash rushed up after them, but was stopped by two guards dressed as Roman soldiers at the gym entrance.

"Entry is prohibited. Only one person can challenge at a time," the guard reminded.
