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

Page 386

"Satoshi, Gary!"

"Are you okay?"

"Am I late?"

At this moment, Magneton finally arrived here carrying Brock and Dawn, and with them came Lee and Lucario. Lee and Lucario were the ones they met on their way up the mountain and came up together.

"Magneto, use gravity," Gary commanded.

"Kuoyi!"

After Magneto released Brock and Dawn, it immediately charged into the battlefield, unleashing a powerful magnetic force that altered the surrounding magnetic field, bringing a heavy pressure.

"clatter!"

"clatter...!!"

The giant beaked bats were pressed to the ground by the heavy weight, unable to move.

However, although the Zubats were all subdued, Team 300's helicopter had already flown far away and was no longer within the range of gravity.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded reluctantly.

"Pickup!!"

Pikachu unleashed a golden lightning bolt that shot into the sky, attempting to chase the helicopter. However, the helicopter had already flown far away, and the lightning bolt dissipated after pursuing it for more than twenty meters.

"Damn it, they got away!" Ash said angrily.

Although they successfully prevented Team Galactic from stealing the second meteorite, they still managed to take one with them, and more importantly, the other meteorite was shattered.

Buzz! Buzz buzz buzz!!

Just then, the roar of an engine came from down the hillside, and a police car flew up the slope, soaring over the heads of the crowd and landing safely on the grass.

"Galaxy Team, don't move!"

The visitor was none other than Ms. Officer Jenny from Veil City.

When the Galactic Team saw Officer Jenny appear, they did not continue to resist and all raised their hands in surrender.

Since Saturn had already taken the meteorite and their mission was complete, the key point was that all their Zubats had been suppressed by Magneton and had lost their ability to resist.

The mission is complete; there's no need for unnecessary sacrifices.

Of course, Officer Jenny wasn't the only one who came; police officers arrived one after another and arrested all the Team Galactic members and Pokémon.

As is customary, Gary, Ash, and the others had to cooperate with Officer Jenny's investigation and were all taken away.

566: Crystal Core

In the interrogation room.

Officer Jenny looked at Gary with a headache and asked, "Gary, tell me the details of how you stopped Team Galactic."

“Miss Officer Jenny, you’ve already kept me here, so you should already know what happened from Team Galactic and Ash. Do I need to explain?” Gary said.

“They can say whatever they want, but according to the rules, we still need your statement. Hurry up and give it to them so you can go back and rest sooner,” Jun Sha said.

So Xiao Mao explained the whole story.

The process was simple: he saw a problem at Meteor Park, went over to see what was going on, and while trying to stop Team Galactic from taking the meteorite away, he accidentally broke it.

"You really know how to give me a hard time. Do you know that meteorite has been in Veil City for hundreds of years? It's a historical artifact!" Jun Sha said, exasperated.

“But if we don’t intervene, Team Galactic will just steal the two meteorites. It’s better to destroy them accidentally than to have them taken by Team Galactic,” said Shigeru.

Officer Jenny remained silent.

Indeed, destroying the meteorite is better than the Galactic Team stealing it. However, Officer Jenny doesn't understand what the Galactic Team is trying to do by coming here to steal a meteorite. Even if the meteorite is worth some money, it won't fetch a lot of money.

“Leave your phone number,” Officer Junsha said.

Xiao Mao obediently put the number on the form, signed his name, and asked, "Can I go now?"

“Keep your phone accessible at all times. You can go back now,” Jun Sha said.

"Um... I'm not responsible for the meteorite, am I?" Xiao Mao asked.

"I don't know about that. We'll see if they pursue it. Keep your phone accessible in the near future, and don't leave the Sinnoh region," Officer Jenny said.

“Although I accidentally damaged the meteorite, it was all caused by Team Galactic. Team Galactic should be responsible for these meteorites, so why are you restricting me?” Shigeru said.

"There's nothing we can do. Although you have a statement proving your innocence, there's no CCTV footage. Until the matter is fully investigated, you can't leave the Sinnoh region for the time being," Officer Jenny said, waving her hand. "These are all the rules."

Xiao Mao was also annoyed. He had gotten involved and ended up getting himself into trouble. Although he hadn't been punished, being restricted was still a bit frustrating.

"If you don't get to the bottom of this, does that mean I can't leave?" Xiao Mao asked.

“You can rest assured about that. The police department has only issued a 180-day restriction. If the investigation is not completed by the end of the 180 days, you can leave the Sinnoh region,” Officer Jenny said.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave."

Since it only takes half a year, there's no problem. The Galaxy Team will disband soon anyway, so the restriction order doesn't matter.

As soon as Shigeru left the interrogation room and entered the police station lobby, he saw Satoshi and his two friends, as well as Raiji and Lee.

"Xiao Mao, are you alright?" Xiao Zhi asked.

Ash and his friends were just questioned by Officer Jenny about Gary, and they were worried that something might happen to him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just restricted from traveling and can't leave the Sinnoh region for the next six months," Gary said.

Ash: "Oh, how unlucky!"

Xiao Gang: "It's alright, I'm just restricted from leaving the country, nothing serious."

Hikari: "Shigeru is Professor Oak's grandson, so even if he loses money, he should be able to afford it, right?"

"Xiao Guang, you're right."

Xiao Zhi nodded, thinking that at most he would only lose money.

Xiao Mao is a guy who's never short of money.

Xiao Mao's eyebrows twitched wildly. He wasn't short of money, but he didn't want to be ripped off. Besides, there was still room for maneuver, so why should he lose money?

Although it's unclear how much that meteorite is worth, it's estimated to be at least a million or two, enough to buy a Pokémon with good potential.

If they find something in the meteorite, the loss is manageable, but if they find nothing, they'll be in deep trouble.

Xiao Mao ignored them, went outside, and released the motorcycle lizard.

Upon seeing the Motostrap, Ash immediately asked, "Ash, can you tell me what kind of Pokémon this is?"

Xiao Gang, Lei Si, and the others also gathered around with curious expressions. They had never seen a Motor Lizard before; it was their first time seeing one.

"This Pokémon is called Lizard, a dual-type Pokémon of Normal and Dragon attributes. It can move like a motorcycle and loves to carry people on its back," Gary explained.

"Oh, then which region's Pokémon is it?" Ash continued to ask.

"It is a unique spirit of the Padiya region. Almost every family in the Padiya region has a Moto Lizard for easy travel."

Everyone looked on in astonishment; it was the first time they had ever seen such a unique elf.

"Shirley, you said Lizard loves to carry people on rides, can I try riding it?" Ash asked, looking eager to try.

"You ride it."

Xiao Mao didn't pay much attention; he just thought it was for Xiao Zhi to play with.

"it is good."

Ash quickly walked up to the Motolizard.

The Lizard knew Ash wanted to ride it, and it didn't resist at all. It actively contracted its throat and lower abdomen to lower its height, making it easier for Ash to get on.

"Wow! It's so well-behaved!" Ash exclaimed in surprise.

"Motor lizards are very human-friendly creatures. They especially love the warmth of human bodies, so they are happy to let people ride on them," Xiao Mao explained.

While the explanation was being given, Ash had already ridden on Lizard, and Lizard was carrying Ash around the streets.

"Shigeru, can I try it?" Hikari asked. She saw how happy Ash was riding it and wanted to try it too.

“If possible, I’d like to give it a try,” Ah Li suddenly said.

"I wish I could try it too," Xiao Gang said.

“I’d also like to try riding it,” Lei Si said (Okay).

Xiao Mao broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems the motor lizard is too attractive to them; they really do have the potential to become will-o'-the-wisps.

After letting Xiaozhi and the others ride for a while, they didn't stop until midnight.

Back at the Pokémon Center.

Xiao Mao returned to his room and opened the door to find the abandoned monkey with the Chicken Brother hairstyle inside.

"So? Did you find anything?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Gorgeous."

The Abandoned Monkey nodded and took out a blue crystal from its storage space.

Upon seeing the crystal, Xiao Mao immediately walked over.

The abandoned monkey also handed the crystal to Xiao Mao.

Xiao Mao examined the crystal and asked in confusion, "Why can't I see the name?"

The crystal in his hand was clearly the same as Deoxys's core, but Shigeru couldn't see its name.

You should know that the crystal core is Deoxys's true form.

567: Gracidia Flower Fields

"Strange? Could it be due to a lack of energy?"

Shigeru thought of the Rayquaza movie, where Latios, who was nearly killed by Rayquaza, took several years to recover.

But Xiao Mao found it strange. He had used his Eye of Insight to observe many Pokémon, including those that were on the verge of death. All of them had names on their heads, but this crystal did not have a name.
