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

"Fifty."

Gary has to defeat 60 Pokémon within a week, which is quite a workload. However, given the strength of the students at Orange Academy, it shouldn't be too difficult. Gary won't even need to use his main Pokémon.

“Ms. Yeci, the difference between my strength and that of my students is huge. The fight will be over quickly, and they won’t learn anything from fighting me.” Xiaoshige reminded him.

It's fine to let students experience battling powerful trainers, but if they're too powerful, the experience will be uninspiring, as they'll completely ignore type advantages and be instantly defeated by any move.

“It’s alright. You have the right to use whatever level of Pokémon you want to fight. It doesn’t matter if it’s weak or strong. If you’re willing to use a weaker one, you can also use it to train your newly bred Pokémon. That’s a good choice for you,” Ye Ci said.

Indeed, Shigeru has some near-Elite Four level Pokémon that he can use in battles. Even if the students don't have Pokémon at the near-Elite Four level, they should at least have Gym level Pokémon.

Judging from Mudan's abilities, the other students probably aren't much stronger, so they can take on this task.

"What about the timing? Is it up to me?" Xiao Mao asked.

“Yes, you can set the time yourself. You can call me before you come and we will confirm the time. You just need to arrive at the school on time,” Ye Ci said.

“Okay then, I agree to be a teacher,” Xiao Mao said.

“Then let’s talk about what your requirements are,” Ye Ci said.

The job description and rules have been agreed upon; now it's time to see what kind of compensation Xiao Mao wants.

“I’m very interested in the Padiya Crater in the Padiya region. May I go inside?” Xiao Mao asked.

When Gary caught Majestic Fang in the Hoenn region, he was also thinking about how to catch the Ancient Paradox Pokémon.

The Paradox Spirits all reside in Zone 0 of the Padia Pit. If Gary wants to complete the mission issued by the system, he must go to Zone 0 to capture the other Paradox Spirits.

The person in front of them, Ye Ci, is not only the chairman of Orange Academy, but also the president of the Padia Alliance. He wields great power and his status is higher than that of the champion.

“As expected of Professor Oak’s grandson, I can allow you to enter, but anything found in the giant pit needs to be reported to our research team,” Ye Ci said.

"it is good."

Xiao Mao wasn't dissatisfied with this at all. After all, it was their territory, and if he really discovered something new, he should explain it.

Moreover, Shigeru was well aware of the situation of the Padia Pit. The biggest secret was the Paradox Spirit, and the other was the Zero Great Void, which contained even stronger terrestrial energy and a new terrestrial attribute called the Star Crystal attribute.

Star Crystal attributes do not correspond to any other attributes, but the power of the Tai Crystal, which encompasses all attributes, is a very special kind of power. In addition, there is a connection between the Zero Great Void and the Tai Le Bagos, but no one has yet figured out what that connection is.

“I won’t sign that contract. You can tell me when you want to go to the Paddy Pit,” Ye Ci said.

"No problem, then I'll take my leave."

Actually, the Paddy Crater is quite close to Tabletop City, but Gary doesn't plan to go in right now; he needs to hurry back to the Sinnoh region.

After all, there are still a few legendary Pokémon in the Sinnoh region that Gary plans to catch. If he goes to the Padilla Crate now and misses out, he'll regret it terribly.

"...Then I won't see you off. Goodbye." Ye Ci waved goodbye.

"See you next time."

Xiao Mao also said goodbye and left.

After leaving Orange Academy, Gary continued to wander and explore the city. As it approached noon, he headed towards the Pokémon Center. When he came to an intersection, he saw a shop on the side of the street.

The sign on the storefront reads "Lightning Motor Lizard Shop," indicating that it's a shop specializing in selling motor lizards.

The Moto Lizard is a unique spirit of the Padia region and is a favorite of the Padia people; almost every household has one.

Although the Moto Lizard is a dragon-type Pokémon, it is quite afraid of the cold, so it likes to stay in the sun. Because it cannot withstand the cold, it likes to let people ride on its back, as it can use the body heat of humans to resist the cold.

Therefore, every household prepares a motorcycle lizard as a vehicle, since it runs fast, doesn't eat much, and is cheaper than gas.

"It looks good, I think."

Xiao Mao looked at the video hanging outside the storefront, which showed footage of the Motor Lizard's actions.

Motor lizards can not only ride like motorcycles, but they can also climb rocks and trees. Because they are lizards, they can cling to walls. Also, due to the special scale structure on their hands, they have a strong braking function.

Even when moving at 120 kilometers per hour, the motorcycle lizard can brake quickly to avoid hitting people.

The key is that the motorcycle lizard's tail can regenerate, so if there's no food in the wild, it can use the lizard's tail to temporarily fill its stomach.

547: Purchase Motor Lizard

"It looks good, I could breed one." Xiao Mao looked at the motorcycle lizard in the picture and was somewhat tempted.

"Young man, would you like to buy a motorcycle lizard?" At this moment, the shop assistant also came out. He could tell that Xiao Mao was interested in buying one, so he came out to ask.

"I'm just taking a look," Xiao Mao said.

"Come in and take a look. All the motorcycle lizards in our store are available for test rides. If you're not satisfied, you don't have to buy them." The shop assistant pulled Xiao Mao into the store.

I saw that there were quite a few motor lizards in the store. These motor lizards were not of high level, but their potential was all above the elite level. Moreover, each motor lizard had a temporary tattoo of the store's logo on its body, which means that these motor lizards were bred by the store.

Lizards are, after all, Pokémon, not motorcycles, so not every Lizard can be sold. There are even professional-level Lizards, which are extremely expensive, possibly more expensive than Pokémon with Elite Four potential.

When the motorcycle lizards saw Xiao Mao come in, they all struck poses to make themselves look more like motorcycles, showing off their strong tire chins.

"These motorcycle lizards are all for home use, with a maximum stable speed of 60 kilometers per hour. Within this speed, the braking is very stable. If you buy one now, our store will also give you riding tools for free, and there is a three-year warranty. If the motorcycle lizard is involved in a traffic accident during riding within three years, our store will be responsible for replacing it with a new one," the salesperson introduced.

Xiao Mao thought it sounded like buying a car. Did he need to buy a license plate and insurance after buying a motorcycle lizard?

“I’m from out of town,” Xiao Mao said.

"That's alright. As long as we have accident evidence taken by the traffic department and the responsibility lies with Motorcycle Lizard, our store will replace it without hesitation," the clerk assured.

Xiao Mao felt unlucky. Although the shop assistant emphasized after-sales service, why did he always hope that something would happen to him? Wouldn't it be better if nothing happened?

"Any of them faster? I'd like a Motor Lizard that can go 120 kilometers per hour at full speed," Xiao Mao said.

Motor lizards can reach speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour, a speed that almost every motor lizard can achieve. However, once they reach such high speeds, it becomes difficult to control their direction, and accidents are very likely to occur.

"Young man, are you a motorcycle lizard rider?" the shop assistant asked.

"No."

"Then why did you buy a racing-grade motorcycle lizard? You can't really speed that fast in the city," the salesperson said.

In the Parthian region, owning a personal motorcycle lizard is every boy's dream. Many teenagers buy racing-grade motorcycle lizards as soon as they turn 10, thinking they can handle them.

But in the end... it's basically always the same: the engine starts, and loved ones shed tears.

“I’m a trainer, currently traveling. Going faster will speed up the journey,” Gary said.

"For travel, this motor lizard is enough." The shop assistant then introduced another motor lizard to Xiao Mao.

"Mmm."

The motorcycle lizard looked at Xiao Mao and lay down beside him, appearing submissive and hoping that Xiao Mao would climb on its back.

Seeing the Motor Lizard being so proactive, Xiao Mao was also taken aback.

"Don't be surprised, that's how motorcycle lizards are. They like warmth, and their favorite temperature is human body temperature. They usually enjoy people riding on their backs," the shop owner explained.

"That's it."

Xiao Mao nodded and carefully examined the motorcycle lizard.

【LV30 Motor Lizard ♂/Gym】

This Lizard has gym potential, one level higher than the ones we've seen before. With such potential, Gary wouldn't train it as a battle Pokémon, but it's fine as a mount.

"Are there any better ones? I'm hoping for ones with higher potential," Xiao Mao said.

"Sir, you may not know this, but the motor lizards we sell are not for fighting. If you use a motor lizard for fighting, we will not provide after-sales service for any traffic problems that may arise," the shop assistant reminded.

The reason this store dares to offer after-sales service is because it prohibits using the sold Pokémon in battles. If a Pokémon gets injured in a battle and affects riding, and the store still offers a replacement, they'll lose a fortune.

"It's okay, if there's any problem while riding, it's on me," Xiao Mao said.

Although it's a vehicle for riding, who wouldn't want their ride to have combat capabilities?

"We do have a rather aggressive lizard in the shop, but the price... is a bit high," the clerk said.

"How expensive is it?"

Xiao Mao had just checked the prices in the store. A family-sized Moto Lizard only cost 200,000, and even a Moto Lizard with champion potential would only fetch a million at auction.

"Two million!" the shop assistant gestured a number.

"Motorlizards are practically common Pokémon, why are you selling them for such a high price?" Xiao Mao asked, puzzled.

Motolizard isn't a rare Pokémon; there are quite a lot of them, though not as many as Rattata.

If it weren't for the time spent training the Lizard to ride, Gary could have easily caught one in the wild himself. Wild Lizards are quite easy to find, and you can catch one with just one Poké Ball. The total cost would only be 500 yuan.

"Because this motorcycle lizard is quite special, I'll go get it for you to see."

After saying that, the shop assistant went into the store's storage room, came out with a Poké Ball, and opened it in front of Gary.

Baton!

【LV30 Motor Lizard ♂/Near-King】

Xiao Mao was very surprised to see the motorcycle lizard, because this motorcycle lizard was unusual. It wasn't that it had high potential, but that its skin was golden, the same color as brass, making it a heterochromatic elf.

"So it's a Shiny elf." Xiao Mao was surprised, not knowing whether it was the effect of the Shiny Charm or if the Shiny Motor Lizard was already there.

"This motorcycle lizard was hatched at our boss's breeding center. It's a heterochromatic elf, which is why it's so expensive," the shop assistant explained.

No wonder it's worth 200 million. A decent riding motorcycle lizard is worth 20. This motorcycle lizard is a different color, so its price is naturally 10 times higher.

"Alright, I'll buy this motorcycle lizard," Xiao Mao said.

"real!"

The shop assistant originally thought Xiao Mao was just browsing, but unexpectedly he actually intended to buy.

Although this motorcycle lizard is worth the price, not many people are willing to spend 200 million to buy it. This price is enough to buy 10 decent motorcycle lizards.

“Of course, really, swipe your card,” Xiao Mao said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

The clerk immediately ran to the counter, grabbed a card reader, swiped the card, and handed the Motostole Poké Ball to Gary.

548: Return to Sinnoh Region

"Mmm."

Motor Lizard also looked at Xiao Mao with a surprised expression.
