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

Page 376

Floatzel is considered Yoshinobu's signature Pokémon, reaching the peak of the Gym level. It should be a Pokémon that has been with Yoshinobu for a long time. It can be seen that these Pokémon are only used by Yoshinobu to deal with Gym battles.

"Electric Beast, end the battle with electric shocks," Shigeru commanded.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yoshinobu suddenly ordered, "Snorkeling Weasel, spray water!"

The Floating Weasel, its entire body enveloped in water, transformed into a water arrow, rushing towards the Electivire and interrupting its skill before it could unleash its electric attack.

Pfft! !

Electivire was knocked into the water, but this did not prevent it from retaliating. Instead, as it fell into the water, the electric current it emitted instantly spread outwards.

"Yo!!"

The snorkeling weasel screamed in agony from the electric shock and immediately fainted.

"With the Floatzel unable to battle and all three of Gym Leader Yoshino's Pokémon defeated, the winner of this Gym battle is Gary," the referee announced.

After the match, Yoshino also generously handed over the dojo badge.

“This is proof of victory over the Nohara Gym, the Wetland Badge. Please accept it,” Yoshinobu said.

"Thank you."

Shigeru took the badge and left the gym.

"Let me see what the reward item will be this time?"

[Electric Gem: Increases the power of Electric-type moves by 100%. This effect can only be used once.]

"Electric Jewel...!"

Xiao Mao was almost speechless. Although the power had increased significantly, the effect only lasted once.

But thinking about it carefully, this thing is still terrifying if used in Z-Moves. It's also good for some powerful moves. The strongest Electric-type move is Electro Cannon. Electric-type Pokémon can use Electro Cannon with the Electric Gem to unleash a power of 300.

The Electric Gem is pretty useless; Gary should exchange for skills first.

"System, select the water element and exchange it for a rainmaking spell."

[Ding! Skill exchange successful.]

Since Gary already has two Water-type offensive moves, there's no need to exchange for more Water-type offensive moves. Weather moves should be prioritized, as crowd control is still important.

The key is that there are quite a few Pokémon that can master the move Rain Dance. Basically, any Pokémon that can influence the climate or change the weather can master Rain Dance.

Electric-type Pokémon can generally learn Rain Dance. They can summon rain clouds by attracting lightning. Wild Magnemites, when gathered together, can even release magnetic force to summon thunderclouds in order to absorb lightning.

"Next up is Watervein City."

Xiao Mao looked at the badge box; he had already collected 5 badges, and there were 3 badges left.

"Now that we've collected all the level badges, it's time to level up the other Pokémon."

Looking at the 82 Medium Rare Candies, Gary decided it was time to use them, especially since all his Sinnoh Pokémon were over level 50 and he no longer needed the Medium Rare Candies.

553: Water Vein City

Water Vein City.

Located at the westernmost part of the Sinnoh region, the air is filled with exoticism and foreign cultures.

Watervein City is a port city that was a center for living creatures a long time ago. This "long time" refers to the period when the Watervein area was in operation, which is now 1000 years ago.

The Water Vein Library is also the best-preserved historical building. Although it has been continuously repaired, the library contains very old books and even unique elf portraits from 1000 years ago.

At that moment, a figure resembling a jet plane appeared in the sky, quickly approached the sprite, and then descended straight down, landing safely on the ground.

"arrive!"

Looking at Watervein City, Xiao Mao was also infected by the atmosphere of the city. He could feel that the people here were very busy and very lively.

People coming and going all turned their heads when they saw Gary the Garchomp descending from the sky, mainly attracted by the Garchomp.

"come in."

Gary recalled Garchomp into its Poké Ball, entered the Pokémon Center, handed Garchomp to Nurse Joy for treatment, and then went outside, riding Lizard to the Canal Street Gym.

To speed up his badge collection, Gary got up early this morning and plans to go to Seaside City this afternoon to get the Seaside Gym badge, and then go to Snowpeak City to get the badge.

The last three gyms are all very far apart. Canal City is in the far west of Sinnoh, Seaside City is in the far east of Sinnoh, and Snowpeak City is in the far north of Sinnoh, with a considerable distance between them.

After cycling for a while, we soon arrived at the entrance of the Water Vein Dojo.

The Water Vein Gym's architectural style looks much more normal; it's mostly built of steel and surrounded by a pile of stones underneath.

The Gym Leader of the Waterway Gym is named Donggua, the father of the Black Gold Gym Leader, Piaotai. He is a mine owner, and in addition to the Steel-type Pokémon he raises himself, the gym also has precious ancient fossil Pokémon, showing that he is a man who is not short of money.

"Why is the door open?"

Xiao Mao entered the dojo and found that there was no one in the lobby.

"anyone there?"

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

He called out several times, but still no one responded.

"Should we take a break?"

Xiao Mao thought that since it was Saturday, the dojo might be closed, but if it was closed, why was the dojo still open?

But considering that Donggua in the anime is a very willful man.

Gua was originally the Gym Leader of Black Gold City, but he was invited by the League to become the Gym Leader of Canal City. Knowing that fossils could be mined on Iron Island, Gua handed over the Black Gold City Gym to Piao Tai and came to Canal City alone.

Therefore, Piao Tai often complained about her father, feeling that Dong Gua did not consider the feelings of his family.

Xiao Mao felt that Piao Tai hadn't considered his mother's feelings. Although Dong Gua's family was wealthy, Dong Gua's appearance wasn't very good. He was always unshaven and smelled of dust. He believed that basically no woman would want to be intimate with a man like that.

Besides, Piao Tai is getting on in years, and his mother probably hopes Dong Gua won't come back.

"Let's wait a bit." Xiao Mao decided to wait where he was. Since the door was open, there must be someone inside.

Time passed by, and around noon, Xiao Mao was about to leave when the roar of a car engine came from outside.

Hearing a noise at the entrance, Xiao Mao went outside the dojo and saw a truck parked there. The truck was reversing, with its rear facing the dojo entrance, and then it came to a stop. The doors on both sides of the truck opened, and three men jumped out of the truck.

Aside from Donggua, Xiaomao didn't recognize the other two; they were probably dojo assistants.

After Donggua and his two companions got out of the car, they naturally saw Xiao Mao standing at the entrance of the dojo. One of the men asked, "Why are you standing at the entrance of the dojo?"

"Hello, I'm here to challenge the Water Lane Gym, but I found no one here, so I'm waiting in the lobby," Gary explained.

"It's Saturday today, the dojo is closed to the public, didn't you know?" the man asked in confusion.

"Then why is the dojo door always open?" Shigeru asked, puzzled.

"Because I unearthed fossils on Iron Island, and the door is open to facilitate transporting the fossils in," Donggua said.

Xiao Mao broke out in a cold sweat.

The Waterline Gym has quite a few ancient Pokémon; aren't they afraid they'll be stolen by Pokémon hunters?

Ancient fossil Pokémon are quite valuable, and many research institutions want to acquire a few for their studies, so they might ask Pokémon hunters for help in capturing them.

Judging from this, it seems we won't be able to have a gym battle today.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

"So... Gym Leader Donggua, when can I challenge your gym?" Shigeru asked.

Donggua paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "You know me?"

Because Donggua doesn't like to dress up and has a scruffy beard, most trainers who come to the gym don't think of him as the gym owner, but rather as a helper working there.

“I usually research the gym leader before challenging one. I found your photo online, so that’s how we know each other,” said Shigeru.

"You're really well-prepared. In that case, come this afternoon, and I'll agree to a match with you," Donggua said.

"Thank you. Can I come at 2 pm?" Xiao Mao asked.

"no problem."

.. ..... ....

Seeing how well-prepared Xiao Mao was, Dong Gua didn't want to dampen Xiao Mao's enthusiasm; he was just that kind of man who couldn't resist enthusiasm.

"Farewell."

Xiao Mao walked to the intersection and released the motorcycle lizard to leave.

"What kind of spirit is that?"

"Is this an elf?"

The other two men saw the Motorola and said they had never seen it before, especially since the Motorola looked like a motorcycle. If Shigeru hadn't released it from its Poké Ball, they would have doubted whether the Motorola was a Pokémon at all.

“That spirit should be a Motolizard, a spirit unique to the Padia region. Almost every household there has a Motolizard,” Donggua said.

"Motorcycle lizard, it looks just like a motorcycle, it's really interesting."

"Yeah, if I were five or six years younger, I would also like to breed a motorcycle lizard. It would be so cool to ride it on the street."

Both gym assistants were instantly captivated by the Motolizard.

There's no way around it, motorcycles are an inescapable pitfall for many cool guys, and the Motorcycle Lizard can be said to be the dream pet of every motorcycle enthusiast.

...!

2 pm.

Xiao Mao arrived at the Water Vein Dojo on time.

Donggua was already prepared.

On the battlefield, Shigeru and Animation were already standing in the command area.

The gym assistant announced, "The gym battle between challenger Gary and Waterway Gym Leader Gua will now begin. Each player can use three Pokémon in this battle. The match ends when all Pokémon on either side are defeated. Only the challenger can substitute Pokémon."
