170: The Water Cannon That Can't Be Learned

"this...!"

"Kami...!"

Gary and Blastoise looked at the massive mountain wall. With Blastoise's powerful water cannon, it was impossible for it to destroy such a thick mountain wall.

"Is this really possible?" Xiao Mao thought that if Blastoise were to Mega Evolve and then use Hydro Pump, it might be possible to destroy the mountain wall. Just trying to blow it away and break through the mountain wall would be extremely difficult.

"Then it depends on how hard you and Blastoise work. I can give you a demonstration." Shuizi said, pulling a Poké Ball from her clothes and throwing it out.

Baton!

【LV60 Mighty Crocodile♂/King】

A powerful crocodile with the potential to become a king among the three starter aquatic pets in the Johto region.

"Mighty Crocodile, use the Water Cannon!" At Shuizi's command, a large amount of blue energy burst out from the body of the Mighty Crocodile, and a high-speed rotating stream of water condensed in front of its mouth. Then, a rapid jet of water shot out, which was more like a beam of light formed by the condensation of water power than a jet of water.

Boom! ! !

A huge hole was blasted into the massive mountain wall, a damage that Blastoise could not possibly cause at its current stage.

This crocodile's potential is not as good as Blastoise's. Although there is a difference in level between the two, the difference should not be that big.

"This is the Hydro Cannon. There's nothing special about it; it's just about compressing water energy. But it requires the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon to compress the water energy to this extent. Give it your best," said Mizuko.

“Okay, Blastoise, try to use the power of the bond to compress the water energy,” Gary said.

"Kami!"

Blastoise nodded, and the condensed water energy in its cannon barrel began to compress the water energy before spraying out bubbles.

Bang! !

The water cannon hit the mountain wall, but it only shattered a few pieces of rock; the mountain wall was not penetrated.

“To feel the power of the bond, this water cannon of yours is no different from your usual full-power water cannon attack,” said Shigeru.

"Oh right, I forgot to give you this. Wear this; it will help you train your water cannon." Shuizi remembered something, took out a bracelet, came to Xiao Mao's side, grabbed Xiao Mao's right hand without thinking, and slapped the bracelet onto Xiao Mao's wrist.

"Hmm? This is...!"

Xiao Mao looked closely at the bracelet and noticed a water droplet symbol on it, which looked very similar to the bracelet that Granny Skills took out in the special episode manga.

"This bracelet helps you connect with Blastoise's power. When the water droplets on it light up, it means your thoughts are being conveyed to Blastoise, allowing it to use Hydro Cannon," Mizuki explained.

"Why didn't you bring this out sooner?" Xiao Mao complained.

"I forgot, you guys continue." Mizuko stepped aside, letting Shigeru and Blastoise continue practicing.

Gary and Blastoise continued practicing their Hydro Pump, but no matter how they practiced, the water droplet on the bracelet didn't light up, indicating that Gary's feelings hadn't been conveyed to Blastoise.

Gary was also quite troubled. The power of bonds exists in the Pokémon world, but it is also the most elusive power. Even Ash, who is at the Mahayana stage, cannot master this power.

After three days of continuous training, Blastoise's Hydro Pump skill has improved somewhat, but it still hasn't mastered the Cannon Hydro Pump.

I came here just to learn Hydro Cannon. Ultimate moves are inherently difficult to learn, and there aren't many Pokémon that have mastered them. Even Leon's Charizard hasn't mastered the ultimate fire move, Explosive Flame.

A week later, there was still no sign of the water cannon, but Xiao Mao asked Shui Zi for half a day off.

The reason I took leave was to go to Mount Lampfire to see if Moltres had arrived.

For convenience, Gary rode Articuno directly to the crater of Lantern Mt. Once there, he had Zapdos make it rain for about half an hour. Moltres did not appear, so Gary rode Articuno back to the edge cape.

As this continued for a long time, the Fire and Rock-type Pokémon living near the Lantern Volcano became emo. Why does it rain so often? They don't like rainy days.

"Mr. Shigeru, it seems your meaning hasn't been conveyed to Blastoise. You're destined to never learn Hydro Pump, so you should give up." A month later, Blastoise still hadn't mastered Hydro Pump, and Mizuki advised Shigeru to give up.

"Didn't Blastoise and I meet the requirements for learning?" Gary asked.

"Meeting the conditions doesn't guarantee you'll master it. I suggest you give up and not waste your money. The other side of the mountain has been thoroughly eroded by your Blastoise," Shuizi said.

·· ·······Requesting flowers····· 0

Because of the long-term water cannon attack on the mountain wall, the mountain wall has been eroded to a smooth surface, and its appearance is just like stalactites.

"Give me another week, okay? If I can't learn it, then I'll give up," Xiao Mao said.

"Alright then." Shuizi agreed, giving Xiaomao one last week.

...!

"Blastoise, train for another week. If you still can't master it, then give up on the Water-type Hydro Cannon," Gary said.

"Kami..." Blastoise was a little annoyed, wondering if it was because of it.

Blastoise has always been very confident in its abilities. This time, it has been a month since it started learning a new skill, but it still hasn't even gotten a glimpse of Hydro Cannon, which has left the turtle feeling quite depressed.

...... . 0

"It's not your fault, it's my problem. Don't be discouraged. It's okay if you don't master the water cannon. We can still become stronger. Your strength doesn't depend on whether you can master a powerful skill," Xiao Mao comforted him.

"Kami".

Blastoise nodded, determined to try for another week; if it really couldn't learn it, then so be it.

...!

Three days later, on the morning.

It was time to visit Mount Lamp, and Gary rode Articuno to the crater of Mount Lamp.

Looking into the eyes inside the crater, Xiao Mao knew exactly how many Fire-type Pokémon lived in the lava.

"It seems Moltres won't be resting here for a while." Gary looked at the clear sky. A month had passed, and he hadn't seen a trace of Moltres.

But Shigeru is only missing a Moltres to complete the system's mission, and he would definitely be unwilling to leave now.

After all, waiting here idly isn't a solution. Xiao Mao is thinking of going to take down the Orange League. Maybe he can trigger a system quest and get a few high-level magical candies as a reward.

"Blastoise, use Rain Dance." Gary was too lazy to send out Zapdos, so he just sent Blastoise to practice his Rain Dance skill.

"Kami".

Blastoise emerged from its Poké Ball and fired two water balls into the sky. The water balls exploded dozens of meters above the crater, and dark clouds quickly gathered, beginning to rain.

171: Strange Weather, Moltres

Gary and Blastoise silently looked up at the sky as a light rain fell. The rain didn't last long, less than a minute, before it stopped, and the dark clouds above quickly dispersed, revealing the bright sun.

"Ok?"

Shigeru looked at Blastoise.

Hey little turtle, what's wrong with you? Your rainmaking time is way too short!

"Kami...!"

Blastoise was also surprised, as it usually practices rainmaking quite a bit and should be able to last for more than 3 minutes.

"Kwame!" Blastoise was a little embarrassed and used Rain Dance again. The sky was once again covered with dark clouds, and a light drizzle fell.

However, the drizzle didn't last long, not even a minute this time, before the clouds dispersed again, revealing brilliant sunshine.

"Kami!"

Blastoise felt very embarrassed. It was one thing that it couldn't learn new skills, but now even the duration of its "857" rain request was so short.

Just as Blastoise was about to use Rain Dance again, Gary stopped it.

"Stop, this isn't your problem."

"Kami?"

Blastoise heard the sound and thought about it for a moment. It usually had no problems with its rainmaking, so there must be another reason for this situation.

Xiao Shi observed his surroundings and concluded that the Pokémon living in the crater certainly didn't know the Sunny Day move. If they did, they would have used it long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.

Looking at it this way... then there's only one possibility left: it was caused by Moltres. The three legendary birds can easily change the climate of their surroundings.

As for whether it was caused by humans, no one would wander around Mount Lamp for no reason. Although Mount Lamp is not as dangerous as Mount Silver, it is not a place that ordinary trainers can enter at will. The strength of the wild Pokémon here is between elite and gym level.

"Zetzart, you change the weather," Gary said.

Baton!

"Aww!!"

Zapdos flew into the sky, and instantly, the entire crater was shrouded in dark clouds. Ordinary Pokémon could no longer use weather moves to change this kind of weather.

Xiao Mao stared intently at the magma and noticed that it was a little different today. Bubbles could be seen rising from beneath the magma from time to time, indicating that air currents were rising from below.

Wow!

The next second, the once calm magma surged, and a dazzling figure burst forth from it—a bird spirit with beige feathers and flames erupting from its head, wings, and tail.

[LV50 Moltres/Champion]

"coming!!"

Shigeru hadn't expected Moltres to appear at this time, and judging from Moltres's current state, it should have almost recovered in the lava.

"Aww!!"

Zapdos, hidden in the dark clouds, also spotted Moltres and quickly flew to Gary's side, calling out to Moltres.

"Awoo!!" Moltres was stunned when it saw Zapdos. It didn't expect that Zapdos would be captured by humans, and Zapdos even said that it wanted to have a battle with it.

"Molotov, let's have a battle. If you win, you'll become my Pokémon. If you lose, I'll set you free, and I'll even give you some benefits," said Gary.

"Aww!"

As a Fire-type Pokémon, Moltres was certainly not afraid of battle and agreed to Gary's request for a battle. At that moment, the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed.

"Aww!!"

Arcs of electricity crackled all over Zapdos's body, and all its feathers stood on end, signaling that it was ready for battle.

Just as tensions were about to rise, a blue figure stepped between the two elves.

"Kami!"

Blastoise stepped forward.
