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

Page 35

Although it's not a Fire-type Pokémon, Tauros needs a certain amount of rage during battle. The more rage it has, the stronger it becomes. Now that it's been doused with cold water, it feels a bit deflated.

"Please rain!"

At Gary's command, Blastoise immediately used Rain Dance, and dark clouds gathered in the sky above the field, causing a light drizzle to fall.

Tauros stood up, shook his head, and glared angrily at Blastoise.

"If that's not enough, then use the ultimate impact!" Ichiki shouted.

It's not that he's just reckless; rather, his Tauros playstyle is purely aggressive, and he hasn't mastered any ranged attack techniques.

If you're not convinced, then fight! I'm not afraid of life and death!

"Moo!!"

Tauros unleashed a powerful aura and charged towards Blastoise. During the charge, his body was enveloped in an energy vortex, and a terrifying aura locked onto Blastoise as he quickly rushed past.

"Use the waves of water," Shigeru commanded.

"Kami!"

Blastoise didn't understand why Gary wouldn't let it use Water Gun, but it still obeyed Gary's command and condensed Water Pulse to fire it.

Bang! !

Water Pulse hit, but it didn't stop Tauros's charge. Tauros burst out of the water mist and rushed towards Blastoise.

"Hold on!"

A green energy barrier appeared in front of Blastoise.

boom! !

The energy barrier was indestructible, easily blocking Tauros's ultimate attack.

Seeing that the final impact had been blocked, Shigeru snapped his fingers and ordered, "Checkmate! Use the water cannon!"

Blastoise had already adjusted the angle of its water cannon, and it sprayed water from the entire cannon barrel, knocking Tauros, who had no time to react, flying all the way to the end of the field and crashing into the wall before coming to a stop.

A light rain was falling on the field, and Kentaro had already fainted.

With the added bonuses of rain and the rare Mysterious Water Drop, this water cannon boasts a power of 275, surpassing the normal power of the Big Bang skill.

It's already quite impressive that Tauros could withstand three moves from Blastoise.

"Tauros is unable to battle, Blastoise wins!"

"All of Gym Leader Ichiki's Pokémon were defeated, and the winner is challenger Gary."

Ichiki's apprentice also delivered the verdict.

Since they've opened a dojo, it's natural that challengers will be able to defeat Ichiki; there's nothing surprising about that.

Chapter 50: Stealing Ash's Pokémon

"Congratulations, this is the Pure White Badge, proof of defeating Hengbin Dojo."

After the battle, Ichiki walked up to Shigeru and handed him the badge of his dojo.

"Thank you."

Shigeru took the badge.

[Ding! Mission complete. Rewards have been sent to your inventory.]

Shigeru looked at the badges and noticed that the badges in the Kanto region were named after the colors they represented.

The Pewter Gym has a gray badge.

Cerulean Gym has a blue badge.

The Vermilion City Gym has an orange badge.

...!

Even though Yuhong Dojo has a colored badge, it still uses colors in its name.

After the dojo battle ended.

Gary and Sabrina returned to the Pokémon Center to pack their bags; they would be leaving Hengbin Town the next day.

Gary handed Scizor and Blastoise to Nurse Joy and went to the common training area to release his Pokémon for physical training.

Before training, Xiao Mao called over both the Exeggutor and the Zubat.

"Coconut eggs?"

"clatter?"

When the Exeggutor and the Zubat saw that Xiao Mao had left them behind, they assumed that he was going to give them a different training method.

"You've reached the required level, let me level you up." Xiao Mao said, placing his hands on the Exeggutor and Zubat, consuming 5 low-level magical candies to raise their levels to 30.

"Coconut eggs!"

"clatter!"

The two elves were overjoyed, feeling that they had improved and even awakened new skills.

Seeing this, Xiao Mao also checked their attribute changes.

【Elf: Exeggutor♂】

[Type: Grass, Psychic]

【Level: 30】

[Potential: Quasi-king]

[Feature: Chlorophyll]

[Skills: Absorption, Hypnosis, Reflection Barrier, Leech Seed, Telekinesis, Egg Explosion, Seed Machine Gun.]

[Skill taught: Dream Eating.]

【Intimacy Level: 240 (Maximum 255)】

...!

【Pokémon: Zubat♂】

[Attributes: poison, flying]

【Level: 30】

[Potential: Gym]

【Characteristic: Penetration (Can penetrate the opponent's barriers or substitutes to attack.)】

[Skills: Absorb, Ultrasonic Wave, Black Gaze, Venomous Fang, Cross-shaped Poison Blade, Air Blade.]

【Intimacy Level: 170 (Maximum 255)】

Exeggutor and Zubat were lucky; they both reached level 30 and awakened new skills.

Exeggutor has awakened Seed Gun, one of its few Grass-type physical attack moves. Moreover, Exeggutor has three brains, giving it an even greater advantage when using this move.

Zubat awakened Air Blade. Although its power is not high, it is at least a Flying-type move, giving Zubat another attacking move of another type, making up for its weakness in attack.

Shigeru also tried to teach Exeggutor to kick with a million-ton weight.

[Ding! Learning failed; this sprite cannot master the Megaton Kick.]

Xiao Mao was somewhat surprised to hear the system notification that the learning had failed.

Isn't the "Million-Ton Kick" skill something you can learn just by having feet?

The name of the Exeggutor tree has legs, so why can't we learn from it?

"Alright, you guys go do your physical training." Shigeru didn't pay much attention and tossed the forced training device to Exeggutor and Zubat.

The two elves immediately donned their gear and began their physical training for the day.

Meanwhile, Shigeru wasn't idle either. He went to Alakazam, who was undergoing psychic training, patted Alakazam, and taught Alakazam the Mega Kick.

This time, the system did not indicate failure.

【Pokémon: Alakazam♂】

[Attribute: Super Power]

【Level: 23】

[Potential: Quasi-king]

[Characteristic: Mental Strength (Possesses a trained mind that does not flinch in the face of an opponent's attacks. Unwavering even intimidation.)]

[Skills: Teleportation, Telekinesis, Illusion Ray, Reflection Barrier, Miracle Eye, Immobilization.]

[Teacher's skills: Dream Eater, Megaton Kick.]

【Intimacy Level: 200 (Maximum 255)】

Alakazam does indeed possess the Mega Kick, but mastering this skill doesn't significantly enhance Alakazam's abilities.

Alakazam's Attack stat is only 50, which is similar to the starter Pokémon's base form. It's usable against some weak Pokémon, but it's practically useless against overly powerful Pokémon.

The "Million-Ton Kick" skill is only suitable for Pokémon with high physical attack stats and heavyweight Pokémon.

However... the Mega Kick move is given by the system. Since Alakazam can learn it, let it learn it. It's always good to have more skills. Besides, teaching Pokémon moves can also increase their friendship level.

The effect of intimacy is simply to make the Pokémon more obedient to training. However, Gary knows that the higher the intimacy, the more likely the Pokémon will break through its limits in battle and unleash unexpected combat power.

Unfortunately, Alakazam can learn Dream Eater, but not Hypnosis. Unless the opponent forces their Pokémon to use Rest, Dream Eater cannot be used.

Hypnosis seems to be a skill that cannot be taught, and Alakazam also has it as a racial skill. It remains to be seen whether Alakazam will be able to awaken Hypnosis in the future.

Gary taught Alakazam the Mega Kick, and then tried to teach Growlithe the Mega Kick, but naturally failed as well, and Growlithe couldn't master the move either.

Helpless, Xiao Mao had no choice but to give up and wait until Blastoise and Scizor were healed before teaching them as well.

The result was... Scizor couldn't learn it, but Blastoise did.

...!

after one day.
