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

Page 152

Baton!

"Mara!"

Weavile, with its fierce and menacing appearance, makes its appearance.

“Weavile…don’t you know that Dark-type Pokémon are weak against Bug-type Pokémon?” Abi asked.

“Although you are at a disadvantage in terms of attributes, attribute advantage does not mean you are guaranteed to win,” Xiao Mao said.

It's not that Gary didn't want to send out other Pokémon, but rather that the Pokémon he currently had, except for Weavile, could easily defeat all of Biscuit's Pokémon.

“Then let me see your strength, Mynah,” Abi said.

"Alright!" Xiao Mao smiled confidently and immediately ordered, "Mavila, use ice pebbles."

An ice block condensed in front of the Weavile's mouth, then turned into ice shards that flew rapidly toward the Orb-web Spider. The Orb-web Spider immediately sprayed out a swarm of spider webs to block the ice shards.

Xiao Mao had no idea where A Bi got her confidence from, actually using silk to defend against ice shards; she was far too confident.

The spider web landed on the ice shards, but instead of stopping them, the sharp edges of the ice shards tore through the web, and the entire web fell onto the round silk spider, sending it flying several meters away.

"what!"

Abi was shocked, never expecting that the spider web of the round silk spider would not stop the opponent's attack.

"Don't give the Orb-weavers a chance to retaliate! Quick Attack!" Shigeru commanded.

call out!

The Weavile charged at the Orb-weaver Spider, giving it no chance to react, and sent it flying.

Bang! !

The orb-weaver spider fell to the ground, its eyes darting around.

"The Orb-weaver is incapacitated; the Weavile wins!" the referee declared.

The Orb Spider that Abi sent was only level 22, while the Mavila was level 36. The difference between the two was too great; they were not even on the same level.

Of course, this is also why Abi, as a gym leader, uses his first Pokémon to test the challenger's strength. It seems that the gym leader in the Johto region is very responsible.

However, a large part of the reason is that the higher-ups are too righteous, because Lance is not only the Johto League Champion, but also a Pokémon Investigator, who secretly thwarted Team Rocket's plans, making him arguably the most responsible of all the champions.

Lance played a significant role in Team Rocket's rapid decline in the anime.

"Spider-Man, come back and rest." Abi recalled Spider-Man and said, "Looks like you're not a new trainer; why didn't you say so sooner?"

“You didn’t ask either,” Xiao Mao said.

"Alright, now I'm getting serious. The Pokémon I'm about to send out is my main force." Abi waved his hand, threw out a Poké Ball, and said, "Go, Lone Warrior!"

Baton!

A bluish-green figure appeared on the field; it was a flying mantis. The mantis's scythes gleamed with a metallic sheen, clearly indicating that they were frequently sharpened and extremely razor-sharp.

【LV35 Scyther (male) / Quasi-Elite Four】

“Gym Leader, you should have Heracross, right? Why are you using Scyther? It’s weak against Weavile,” Gary said.

Each gym leader's main Pokémon are basically unique to that region. The Bug-type Pokémon unique to the Johto region is naturally Heracross, and Abi's ace Pokémon knight should also be Heracross.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about the Pokémon I possess. It seems you came prepared." Abi said, "I do possess Heracross, but it's not with me right now."

“I see, then let’s begin.” Xiao Mao said, “Mavira, use ice pebbles.”

Upon hearing the sound, Weavile unleashed Ice Shards, sending several ice shards hurtling toward Scyther. Scyther remained unfazed, using Cleave to split all the ice shards in two. Then, Scyther spread its wings, revealing transparent insect wings, and charged toward Weavile, swinging its scythe to strike.

Weavile swung its claws in retaliation, its scythe and claws clashing repeatedly, each collision sparking with energy. Both were similar in their characteristics, being fast attackers, making it difficult to determine a winner for the time being.

"Create distance and use the freezing wind," Shigeru commanded.

"Don't give it to Weavile, use Shadow Clone!" Abi shouted immediately, and Scyther instantly created Shadow Clone.

Weavile was also confused. After evolving, its characteristic became a sense of oppression, making it impossible to distinguish its true form.

"Don't panic, use provocation," Xiao Mao said.

"Mara! Mara!!"

Weavile unleashed a torrent of curses, which broke Scyther's defenses. His eyes turned bloodshot, and all his clones vanished in anger, leaving only the real Scyther glaring at Weavile.

"Continuous Slash!" Due to the effect of the taunt skill, Abi had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack.

"Sharpen your claws and then launch a sneak attack on vital points," Xiao Mao said.

Weavile rubbed its claws together a few times, then dark red energy covered its claws as it charged toward Scyther.

boom! !

"Hah!!"

After the clash, Scyther was shocked as its scythe was deflected by a tremendous force. Weavile's other claw aimed at Scyther's slender waist and stabbed.

boom! ! !

The Scyther was sent flying backward, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop. When it finally stood up, it was barely clinging to life.

"Oh, did it hit a vital spot?" Seeing the Scyther's miserable state, Xiao Shi judged that the Ambush had hit the Scyther's vital spot.

The skill "Ambush the Vital Point" has a higher chance of hitting vital points than other skills, and the damage dealt when it hits a vital point can be higher than that of a counter skill.

"Mara!!"

Weavile also realized that Scyther was no match for it, and with unwavering confidence, it rushed towards Scyther, its claws covered in black light.

"Use Cleave!" Abi immediately retaliated. He had more ideas, but the Scyther, having been provoked, could only use attack skills to fight back.

"twitter!!"

"Mara!! (Li Haohao)"

The two elves' figures intertwined, their attacks were so fast that neither could see clearly whether they hit the target or not.

"twitter...!"

The next second, the Scyther let out a wail, its legs lost strength, and its body fell straight forward, its eyes rolling in circles.

"Scyther is unable to battle, Weavile wins!" the referee announced.

Weavile successfully secured its second consecutive victory. Previously, during its challenge against the Azalea Gym, Heracross swept all three of Weavile's opponents, leaving Weavile with no chance to attack, which left it feeling incredibly frustrated.

This time, Xiao Mao started with Weavile, and Weavile decided to take on three opponents at once, not giving the other Pokémon a chance to enter the fray.

Abi recalled his Scyther and continued, "Not bad, I acknowledge your strength. Now, the main event begins."

Although Abi became the owner of the museum at a young age, he still clearly has a childlike mentality and some youthful arrogance.

224: Weavile and Heracross's strength increases

"Go, Foretus!"

Abi sent out his last elf.

Baton!

【LV42 Foretus♂/Gym】

“Foretora…” Xiao Shi had no idea that A Bi had a Foretora. It was a Bug/Steel type Pokémon with extremely high physical defense. Weavile couldn’t damage Foretora at all.

Xiao Mao pursed his lips. This Abi was obviously trying to annoy him on purpose. He guessed that losing two matches in a row had made Abi lose face, and he knew that he was destined to lose the dojo battle, so he deliberately wanted to annoy Xiao Mao.

Seeing through Abi's thoughts, Xiaomao wouldn't let him have his way.

"Weavile, come back." Gary took out a Poké Ball and recalled Weavile.

"What? You're not going to continue fighting with Weavile?" Abi was quite surprised. He thought that Xiao Mao wanted to take on three of him at once, which was why he deliberately sent out Foretus. He didn't expect that Xiao Mao would back down.

“Although I really wanted Weavile to fight the whole match, Forlettos’s type resistances are too high. It would take too long for Weavile to win, and as the challenger, I have the right to replace my Pokémon,” Gary said.

"Then hurry up and release your Pokémon." Abi said with displeasure. After all, he was about to be completely defeated, so it would be strange if he was happy.

Didn't you see when Ash challenged the Hoenn region gym? He used Pikachu to KO all three of Tessa's Pokémon, completely demoralizing Tessa?

Tie Xuan from 393 is an old man. Logically speaking, he should be retired and have seen through everything, but he still got depressed. Not to mention that A Bi in front of him is a young man.

"Frethos is yours to handle." Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

"Roar!!"

Charizard makes its appearance.

There's no way around it, this elf Foretus is tough and smelly. What's smelly is that this guy can self-destruct and cause a huge explosion. If you can't beat him, he'll just explode with you. It's better to deal with him quickly.

"Charizard...!" Upon seeing Charizard, Abi was speechless. It was a fire-type Pokémon named Bloodforetus.

"Don't think that Fire-type Pokémon can defeat my Bug-type Pokémon," Abi said seriously.

Xiao Mao smiled kindly. He knew perfectly well how Abi dealt with flames. It was simply using rotational force to break the flames. However, this move could only defend against straight-line attacks like flame jets. It couldn't defend against explosive fire-type attacks.

"Really? Then Charizard, use Flamethrower!" said Gary.

"Roar!"

Without a word, the Charizard unleashed a massive burst of flame, which swiftly hurtled towards Foretrus. (ciea)

"Foretus, use the spinning top to block the flames," Abi commanded.

Phritus spun rapidly, like a metal top, and a massive burst of flames slammed straight down on the rapidly spinning Phritus, accompanied by a deafening "BOOM!!"

Bang! !

Foretus was sent flying by the explosion of the giant flames and crashed onto the ground, his eyes spinning in circles.

"Foretora is unable to battle, Charizard wins!" the referee announced. "The winner of this gym battle is challenger Blue."

Shigeru successfully earned his second badge in the Johto region.

"The Insect Badge is yours." Although he was unwilling, Abi was willing to accept defeat and immediately handed over his gym badge to Shigeru after the battle.

"Concession."

Xiao Mao responded modestly and then accepted the badge.
