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

Chapter 31: Assisting Naz's Father

Sabrina's psychic powers are very strong. Even Najun can't get close to Sabrina, let alone destroy the doll next to her. The protective shield Sabrina creates with her psychic powers can even withstand a Gym Leader-level Pokémon.

Take Sabrina as an example. He was the Gym Leader of the Goldenrod City, so he must have Pokémon with Gym Leader-level strength. He could easily use them to deal with Sabrina.

Even so, Na-jun couldn't defeat Na-ji, which shows just how powerful Na-ji's superpowers are.

Gary probably thinks only Cattleya from the Unova region can compare to Sabrina.

Sabrina is known as a superpowered genius girl.

Cattleya is a girl with superpowers who goes berserk.

The two complement each other perfectly and are quite a good match.

“Go to Lavender Town and catch a Ghost-type Pokémon, then come and challenge Sabrina,” Najun said.

What kind of method is this?

Even though Ghost-type Pokémon are super effective against Psychic-type Pokémon, Ghost-type Pokémon themselves have no resistance to Psychic-type Pokémon, and Sabrina can handle Ghost-type Pokémon with her bare hands.

“While Ghost-type Pokémon are super effective against Psychic-types, they probably won’t be very effective against Sabrina,” Gary said.

Gary isn't as easily fooled as Ash. If Gastly hadn't accidentally destroyed the doll, Ash wouldn't have gotten past Sabrina so easily.

“I understand, but Ghost-type Pokémon can use their invisibility to get close to Sabrina. When you battle Sabrina, secretly order your Ghost-type Pokémon to ambush the doll next to Sabrina,” Najun said.

Xiao Mao rested his chin on his hand, wondering how he had ended up in this mess and now had to face Na Zi directly. He had come to give Na Jun advice, but now he was the one being dragged into this.

"Mr. Najun, can't you just go and destroy the doll next to Naz?" Xiaomao asked.

“I can’t help it. As soon as I enter the gym, Sabrina will notice me. She’ll be very wary. Only Ghost-type Pokémon can get close to Sabrina without her noticing,” Najun said.

Since being kicked out of the gym by Sabrina, Najun has been unable to return home and has been forced to wander around Saffron City. If it weren't for his psychic abilities, he would be no different from a homeless person.

"Alright, I'll go check out Lavender Town then." Gary also planned to catch a Ghost-type Pokémon.

Gary's original goal was to catch Forsaken, but now it seems he can only catch Gastly or Haunter.

"Then I'll leave it to you. As long as Na-Zhi recovers, I will definitely repay you," Na-Jun entrusted.

Hearing that he was to be rewarded, Xiao Mao thought he could take the job, so he asked, "Any kind of Ghost-type Pokémon will do? There are no strength requirements?"

"Yes, any Ghost-type Pokémon that can become invisible will do."

"Mr. Na Jun, do you know where there are Ghost-type Pokémon in Lavender Town?"

"I don't know about that. Ghost-type Pokémon are elusive and only move at night. You can check the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Xiao Mao nodded. He did know about the Elf Tower; in the game, the Elf Tower was where elves were buried.

However, the Pokémon Tower in the anime is a bit special. It is the residence of Ghost-type Pokémon, and it is inhabited by Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar. Apart from liking to scare people, those three guys are not bad-natured.

Especially since that Gastly is quite kind. Anyway, as long as Sabrina returns to normal, there's no need to worry about it affecting Ash's journey. In any case, Ash didn't manage to catch that Gastly.

"There's no time to lose, you should set off now, it'll be evening by the time you get there."

Na Jun didn't give Xiao Mao any time to think. She put her hand on Xiao Mao's shoulder, supported his head with her other hand, and disappeared from the spot with Xiao Mao.

next second.

Najun then brought Xiaomao to the western exit of Golden City.

Xiao Mao looked at the sudden change in his surroundings and knew that Na Jun had used teleportation on him. It felt pretty good.

"I can only take you this far. I need to go back and keep an eye on things to prevent any trainers from challenging Sabrina," Najun said.

"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible."

...!

After saying goodbye to Najun, Xiaomao rode all the way, even putting the butterfly bike on the back of the bike and using the wind to speed up.

Finally, at night, we arrived at Ziyuan Town.

Because Lavender Town has Ghost-type Pokémon, the town's residents generally don't come out at night, making the entire town exceptionally quiet.

Xiao Mao fed his elf a few energy cubes to fill its stomach, and then went to the vicinity of the elf tower.

Elf Tower is located on the ground of Lavender Town, surrounded by elven graveyards, making the environment particularly eerie.

We arrived at the entrance of the Elf Tower.

Xiao Mao looked it over and said that calling it a Pokémon Tower was less accurate than calling it a Demon Tower, especially since the gate looked exactly like a Dynamax Gengar's open mouth.

"Growlithe, come out." Gary released Groudon.

"Wang!"

Growlithe is full of energy and hasn't had any training today, so he's in great shape right now.

“Growlithe, there are Ghost-type Pokémon in here. If you find anything strange, just use your scent to detect it,” Gary said.

"Wang!"

The Growlithe responded with a bark.

Growlithe awakened Scent Detection at level 10. It's no wonder that Growlithe was born for the police force; its awakened skills can assist the police in their work.

The Scent Detection skill works the same as Spot the Secret, allowing Ghost-type Pokémon to reveal their true form. Furthermore, Normal and Fighting-type moves can also hit Ghost-type Pokémon in the Spot the Secret state.

Of course, it's best to avoid battles as much as possible. Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar in the Pokémon Tower aren't bad Pokémon; they just like to make people laugh, but every time it ends up scaring them.

"Let's go in."

Shigeru, holding the flashlight he had brought with him, followed Growlithe to the gate of the Pix Tower.

The gate wasn't locked and opened with a little force. The interior was decorated in a homey style, suggesting that someone had lived there before, but it was unclear why it had fallen into such disrepair, and why the people of Ziyuan Town would never come here.

Shigeru's Eye of Insight remained open, as he looked around to search for Ghost-type Pokémon inside the tower.

Growlithe is like a newborn calf, unafraid of ghosts. It looks around and sniffs at anything new it comes across.

"Hello, is anyone home?" Xiao Mao shouted loudly, trying to get the Gengar's attention.

After waiting in the hall for a while, no ghosts or sprites appeared.

"Growlithe, let's go deeper inside and take a look."

Xiao Mao led his Growlithe up the stairs and into the corridor. On both sides of the corridor, a few meters away, a door let in white light through its crack.

Gary knew this was a prank by Gengar and the others, but he had no choice but to go and see them.

Xiao Mao and Growlithe walked over, pushed open the door, and entered the dining room. There was a long dining table with tableware neatly arranged on it, as if someone might come to eat at any time.

Chapter 32: The Elf Tower, Deceiving Ghost-type Elf

"Wang!"

The Growlithe seemed to sense something and barked a warning bark.

Although it couldn't see the target, Growlithe seemed to sense something.

"It seems the legend is true. Dogs can sense unclean things, even if they can't see them, they can feel the aura of unclean things," Xiao Mao thought to himself.

next second.

The tableware on the long table suddenly floated up without any wind, flying around in mid-air.

"Wang! Wang!"

The Growlithe barked even louder.

"Use scent detection," Xiao Mao ordered.

"Wang!"

Growlithe lowers its head to perform scent detection.

The King of Dogs' Breath!

In an instant, three dark figures appeared in the room: Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar.

【LV20 Gastly♂/Gym】

【LV30 Haunter♂/Gym】

【LV49 Gengar♂/Gym】

"They all have gym potential!" Shigeru exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected that the three brothers from the Pokémon Tower would all be gym-level, which was already quite impressive.

Furthermore, the fact that Gengar is here indicates that this Gengar has had a trainer.

For Gastly to evolve into Gengar, it must form a trading link, allowing the power of the trading link to activate Gastly's cells. Only then can it evolve into Gengar, so this Gengar most likely has a trainer.

“Gah!”

"Hiss...!"

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar and the others realized they had been revealed and could no longer go back into stealth mode, but they weren't worried at all.

"Wang! Wang!"

The Growlithe immediately stood in front of Shigeru, acting as his bodyguard.

Born into the police force, Growlithe was naturally suited to be a police dog.

Gengar and the others ignored the barking Growlithe and instead made faces at it, doing whatever they could to make it as abstract and funny as possible. After making their faces, they burst into laughter.

"Woo?"

The Growlithe was also completely baffled by these three guys, having no idea what they were doing.

*Smack! Smack! Smack...!*

Suddenly, applause erupted from the crowd.

Gengar and the others immediately stopped laughing and stared blankly at Gary, who was clapping.

"Great, your comedy performance was very original," Xiao Mao praised.

"Geng Ga!"
