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

Xiaomao:? ? ?

So arrogant?

Do you know that if you don't come with me, things won't end well for you?

These turkeys only know that a trainer will take them away, and they don't know what will happen to them if no trainer chooses them.

"squeak!"

Fortunately, the level 13 Torchic took a liking to Gary and took the initiative to touch his palm.

"Alright, then Torchic, please take care of me from now on." Gary didn't care about Torchic's level; its level would easily increase in the early stages.

Originally, Shigeru hoped that the level 15 Torchic would follow him, but the Torchic was unwilling, so he could only blame the Torchic for being blind.

"squeak!"

The turkey squinted and nodded.

“Okay, it’s settled then.” Cai Kun was very happy. He knew what would happen to these Torchic if they weren’t taken away by their trainers.

Therefore, Cai Kun would try his best to give away any Torchic chicks he could, since he had raised them from Pokémon eggs, and it was impossible for him not to have any feelings for them.

Cai Kun's service was very attentive. He didn't rush Xiao Mao to pay first, but handed over the Torchic's Poké Ball to Xiao Mao before he paid.

After paying, Xiao Shi also put Torchic into a Poké Ball and took a look at Torchic's stats.

【Pokémon: Torchic♂】

[Attribute: Fire]

【Level: 13】

[Potential: King]

【Special Ability: Blaze (When HP is close to one-third, the power of Fire-type moves increases by 1.5 times.)】

[Skills: Grab, Spark, Lightning Strike, Insight, Sand Splash.]

【Intimacy Level: 95 (Maximum 255)】

Torchic's stats are average, and its awakened skills are quite useful.

"Mr. Cai Kun, we'll take our leave now."

With Torchic now acquired, Gary plans to return to LavaCitadel and take down the LavaCitadel Gym while he's at it.

Judging by the time, Ash and his friends should have already arrived at the LavaCity Gym.

"Um... little girl, how about you consider breeding a turkey? Turkeys are really cute," Cai Kun said, trying to sell it to her.

"She's quite cute, but not as cute as my Gu Niu Niu." Xi Jiana hugged her Gu Niu Niu.

Cai Kun looked at Guniu Niu and realized that Xijia Na liked doll-like elves, so it seemed there was no chance to sell another Torchic.

After leaving the turkey breeding house.

The two returned to town and had lunch at a hot spring inn.

“Shigeru, battle me with your Torchic,” Higanbana suggested.

“You really have the nerve to say that? If I get a Torchic, you’ll have to challenge me,” Gary said.

Despite having a renowned coach like Shirley Kogane as a mentor, Heidi Jana lost to him in every sparring session.

As a Dragon-type trainer, Higanbana is naturally unwilling to admit defeat and has challenged Gary many times, wanting to defeat him once.

Now that Gary has caught a new Pokémon, Higanbana has seen the attributes of victory.

Higana originally wanted to challenge the lazy otter, but after seeing how lazy the otter looked, she gave up.

As a result, Gary's Sloth evolved into Hyperactive Apex, and Higanbana used Baby Tyrannosaurus to fight Hyperactive Apex, and naturally Baby Tyrannosaurus lost.

This frustrated Higanbana. Now that she saw that Gary had caught a new Torchic, Higanbana decided to seize the opportunity and, regardless of how embarrassing it might be, defeat Gary once.

"I don't care, just battle me with Torchic!" Higanbana tantrumd.

"Torchic hasn't been trained yet and isn't suitable for battle. Let's talk about it again in two weeks," said Gary.

"Okay, it's a deal then."

"Well, it's settled."

Higana didn't think that Gary could beat her baby Tyrannosaurus Rex after training his Torchic for half a month.

Little did he know that half a month was enough time for Gary to evolve Torchic into Combusken, and Combusken, with its Fighting-type, was a counter to Baby Tyranitar.

Even if the baby Tyrannosaurus is a bit higher level than Torchic, there's no need to worry. After all, the difference in their physical stats is obvious. Do you really think every baby Pokémon is like Pikachu?

We enjoyed a delicious hot spring meal and rested until 2 p.m.

Shigeru sets off for the Fuma Dojo.

As for Higana, she stayed in the hot spring hotel enjoying the air conditioning.

In Higanbana's words, "I'm not going, I'm afraid of getting a tan!"

Shigeru rode his mountain bike to the Fumafudo Gym.

The doors of the Fuma Dojo were wide open, and a group of people were busy inside.

Among these people were Aysa and Ash and his group.

Because it was Aysa's first time acting as a gym leader, the gym was very messy, and she didn't clean up the area after battles, making the battle arena unusable.

So Ash and his friends became Azalea's tools, helping her repair the battlefield.

There was also a middle-aged man wearing round-framed glasses helping out from the side.

Xiao Mao knew very well that this middle-aged man was Yasha's grandfather, Mula.

Mura originally wanted to travel to find inspiration and write some elven senryu, but she was worried about leaving Asha alone in the Tunnel Gym, so she kept wandering around the town of Furnace, unable to go home.

As for Aysa, who was in charge of the gym, it was indeed a mess. She couldn't even keep the gym tidy, and the trainers who came to challenge her had to help her clean it up.

Mura couldn't stand it any longer, so she had to pretend to appear and help.

"Ah! Xiao Mao!"

Perhaps because children have short attention spans, Xiao Zheng looked around after being busy for a while and saw Xiao Mao outside the door.

Ash and the others stopped what they were doing and looked out the door.

"Gary! Haven't you challenged the LavaCover Gym yet?" Ash was a little surprised. Gary had come down the mountain first, and Ash thought Gary had already challenged the LavaCover Gym.

"If we'd already passed the challenge, why would we even bother coming here?" Xiao Mao complained. "And what are you guys doing?"

"We're helping Miss Aza prepare the area so she can challenge the gym," Ash said.

"Shouldn't cleaning up the area be the dojo's job? Why are you cleaning up the area?" Shigeru asked.

"Haha... that previous challenger, his Pokémon kept using Dig, so I forgot to clean it up," Aysa said awkwardly.

"Are you the head of the Fumafudo Gym?" Shigeru asked.

"Yes."

“According to my investigation, the Gym Leader of the Blazing Cauldron Gym shouldn’t be Mr. Mulla, you’re a woman,” said Gary.

“My grandfather went on a trip, so I’m temporarily taking over as gym leader. Besides, I was originally going to inherit the Furnace Gym,” Aysa explained.

Xiao Mao glanced at Mura, who was disguised.

When Mura saw Xiao Mao looking at him, he thought he had given something away, so he quickly grabbed a shovel and started filling the hole.

"If I fix up the venue for you, can I take the challenge first?" Xiao Mao asked.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

"Ah!" Asha was taken aback. Although she really wanted to agree, it was obvious that Ash and his friends were here to help, and they had already rested for a while, so Ash should definitely go first in the challenge.

“Shigeru, if we’re talking about first come, first served, I was here first,” Ash said, stepping forward.

Knowing that Gary hadn't yet obtained the LavaCover Gym Badge, Ash couldn't let him have it, because this was one of the few opportunities he had to surpass Gary in the number of badges, so how could he let Gary challenge first?

Shigeru naturally saw through Ash's little scheme, but didn't call him out on it.

"Alright, it'd be better to get it repaired quickly." With that, Gary released Ralts.

"Eevee, Ralts, use your Psychic and Telekinesis to help repair the field," Gary said.

0 ...... ....

"La!"

"Bah!"

With the addition of Ralts and Eevee, the sand in the field automatically enters the pit, speeding up the filling process.

"Oh, it can use Psychic!" Mura was immediately drawn to Eevee.

As one of the Elite Four, Mulla is very knowledgeable about Pokémon and knows very well that Eevee is not capable of learning Psychic-type moves.

"Oh, what kind of Pokémon is this?" Ash was seeing Ralts for the first time and pulled out his Pokédex to look at it.

Pokédex entry: "Ralts, Sensitive Pokémon, Kirlia's pre-evolution form. It possesses the ability to sense human emotions using the horns on its head. It rarely appears before humans, but when it senses positive emotions, it will approach them on its own..."

"Sigh, it's different from the picture in the Pokédex." Ash looked at the Ralts in the Pokédex, then looked at the Ralts in front of him, and found that the two Ralts were different.

"Really?! It's a different colored Ralts!!" Xiao Zheng exclaimed in shock.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Yao immediately stared at Ralts with curious expressions.

"La!!"

Ralts, who was busy with something, was startled when it saw Ash and the others staring at it. It immediately dropped what it was doing and teleported to Gary's side.

"Don't keep staring at Ralts, it's quite shy," Gary reminded him.

Don't be fooled by Ralts' lively personality when it's fully charged; it reverts to its timid and cowardly nature when it encounters strangers.
