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

Page 285

Xiao Feng and Xiao Nan exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Claydol and Gardevoir are clashing with their energy beams, and both are currently unable to move, which is a terrible situation.

Aggron conjured stone blades and shot them into the sky.

Bang! Bang! Bang...!

The psychic clay golem, attacked by the stone blade, was interrupted by pain, and the magic flashed and hit the psychic clay golem again.

Having been attacked twice in a row, even his psychic breakthrough was starting to falter. If it weren't for his levitation ability, he would have fallen from the sky long ago.

"More!"

"What?!"

Aggron and Gardevoir, seeing that Claydol was about to collapse, unleashed Stone Spike and Dazzling Gleam once more.

call out!!.

424: Fire Z Pure Crystal

call out! !

The two skills were about to hit.

Claydol suddenly disappeared from its original spot and appeared behind Aggron and Gardevoir.

"Now! Use all the power of the earth at once!" Xiao Feng commanded hastily.

Aggron and Gardevoir were standing together at that moment, and the range of Earth Power was enough to hit both of them.

"Read it!!"

As soon as the psychic clay idol began to communicate with the power of the earth, a lightning-shaped beam of spiritual energy fell from the sky.

Snapped! !

"Read it!!"

The telekinesis puppet cried out in pain, and the skill was interrupted~.

"Take down the Claydol! Aggron, use Rock Smash! Gardevoir, use Hyper Beam!" Gary commanded.

Aggron summons stone blades to attack.

Gardevoir also condensed an orange energy ball, which instantly transformed into a thick beam of light and shot out.

Boom! !

The sharp stone attack and the destructive death ray both hit.

The psychic clay figure fell toward the ground, but did not land; it remained a few centimeters above the ground, but the eyes on its head began to spin in circles.

"Claydol and Natu are unable to battle, Aggron and Gardevoir win!"

Xiao Nan and Xiao Feng's mother announced, "The winner of this dojo match is the challenger, Xiao Shigeru."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Gary took out a Poké Ball and recalled Aggron and Gardevoir.

This was the first time Aggron and Gardevoir teamed up for a battle, and their synergy wasn't perfect. There are still many areas where they need to improve their coordination, but it's sufficient for handling gym battles.

The battle is over.

The group returned to Green Ridge Gym.

Due to the damage caused by the Rockets, the facilities at Green Mine Gym will be unusable for at least a week.

"Shigeru, Ash, these are the Spirit Badges." Back at the gym, Maple and Nan took out their own gym badges and handed them to Shigeru and Ash.

Shigeru looked at Satoshi.

Although Ash won first, he still got the badge along with Gary, so this lead didn't seem to mean much.

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

Once you receive the badge, the quest will be indicated as complete.

Then, Gary and Ash left together, preparing to return to the Pokémon Center.

On the way, Ash asked, "Gary, are you going to Sootopolis City next?"

“Yes, but I plan to train my Pokémon here in Mossdeep City before going there,” Gary said.

"There are only two months left until the Rainbow Tournament. Liuli City is quite far from Green Ridge City. Aren't you in a hurry, Xiao Mao?" Xiao Gang asked doubtfully.

As Ash's guide, Brock is very accurate in planning routes and time.

Ash and his friends won't travel by water; instead, they'll have to go through the surrounding islands, and it will take them a month just to get to Sootopolis City.

“I can ride a Pokémon and fly there; it will only take an hour to get to Sootopolis,” Gary said.

"Oh, I was overthinking it."

Xiao Gang has always followed Xiao Zhi on foot and has forgotten that he can take a vehicle.

Ash and his friends could have chosen to take a boat to Sootopolis City, which would have taken at most a week. However, since they wanted to explore the islands in the eastern region, they had no choice but to walk.

After arriving at the Pokémon Center and handing the injured Pokémon over to Nurse Joy, Gary returned to his room to see what the reward for this mission was.

【Ultimate Z-Move Crystal (Increases power by 50% when using Fire Z-Moves)】

"Z pure crystal!"

Xiao Mao was very surprised, not expecting that the reward would be a Z-Crystal.

But Xiao Mao doesn't have a Z-Bracelet now, so getting the Z-Crystal is useless. However, it's easy for Xiao Mao to get a Z-Bracelet; he can just ask his uncle for one.

Gary's uncle is Professor Oak's cousin, also known as Professor Oak. He lives in the Alola region and runs a school.

Z-Moves originated in the Alola region, so if Gary wants a Z-Ring, he can just ask his uncle for one.

Shigeru was also eager to test how powerful the Fire Z Crystal rewarded by the system was, as it increased the power of Z-Moves by 50%, essentially providing an additional attribute boost.

For example, if Gary's Charizard uses the Fire Z-Move, using Blast Flare as its original move, the power will be as high as 200. With the addition of a Z-Crystal and type bonuses, the power can reach 400, which is quite terrifying.

Moreover, the biggest feature of Z-Moves is that they can break through Protect-type moves. If moves like Protect can't stop them, then Light Screen is even less likely to be blocked.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

There's no rush now, let's think about which superpower-type skill to exchange for.

"Which superpower skill should I exchange for?" Xiao Mao pondered.

In the Psychic type, skills with a power exceeding 100 are exclusive skills and cannot be exchanged. Among the Psychic skills that can be exchanged, the one with the highest power is Psychic, while the other attack skills have very low power. The remaining skills are all skills that change the field.

"System, exchange for Spiritual Power."

Shigeru initially considered choosing between the Light Wall and the Reflecting Wall, but then realized that he had more Pokémon that could be covered by Psychic.

[Ding! Skill exchange successful.]

. ... 0

After exchanging the skills, Gary went downstairs, retrieved Gardevoir from Nurse Joy, taught him Psychic, and then went to the video call to call Professor Oak.

"Hello! Is this Xiao Mao? What's up?" Xiao Jian answered the phone.

Since Ken became Professor Oak's assistant, he has been the one who answers the phone most of the time.

"I have something to say to my grandpa, so I'll have him answer the phone," Xiao Mao said.

"Okay, I'll go call the teacher over." Xiao Jian left with a troubled expression.

Xiao Mao could understand Xiao Jian's dilemma, because if the magnificent tooth was sent back to the research institute, his grandfather would definitely be focused on researching the magnificent tooth and would not want to be disturbed.

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Professor Oak finally arrived, asking impatiently, "Shigeru, what do you need to tell me?"

“Grandpa, did my great-uncle open a school in the Alola region? He also researches Z-Moves,” Gary said.

"Yes, that's right. Is that what you wanted to ask?" Professor Oak asked, somewhat puzzled as to why Gary would ask this.

"Here's what happened, I found this thing." Xiao Mao took out the Fire Z Pure Crystal.

The Fire Z Pure Crystals rewarded by the system look exactly the same as ordinary Fire Z Pure Crystals, except that the crystals given by the system are more beautiful in color.

"Oh, a Z-Crystal! You found it!" Professor Oak exclaimed in surprise. "Could it be that someone from the Alola region accidentally dropped it while passing through the Hoenn region?"

425: Ask Uncle for the Z bracelet

Z-Crystals were discovered in the Alola region and have always been a specialty of the Alola region. To this day, no one knows how Z-Crystals are formed, and they have never been seen in other regions.

Professor Oak suspects that someone from the Alola region passed through the Hoenn region and accidentally lost it, which was then found by Gary.

"I don't know about that. Grandpa, could you please tell me if Uncle also researches Z-pure crystals?" Xiao Mao said.

"You want the Z-Ring, don't you?" Professor Oak also saw through Gary's thoughts.

"Yes, Uncle, can you give it to me?" Xiao Mao asked.

"You'll have to ask your great-uncle yourself. I'll give you his phone number; you can call him directly." After Professor Oak finished speaking, he gave Shigeru Makoto Oki's phone number, then hung up and went back to his research.

Professor Oak is not interested in Z-Crystals because they are items that enhance Pokémon moves. While they provide a significant boost, they have no effect on the Pokémon itself.

Professor Oak is only interested in researching Pokémon themselves, and has little interest in external objects like Z-Crystals.

After getting Oki Naruya's number, Shigeru called him directly.

The call went through, and after waiting for more than ten seconds, someone answered. A black version of Professor Oak appeared on the screen, but this Professor Oak had long white hair, so the difference between him and Professor Oak was still noticeable.

"Uncle, it's been a long time," Xiao Mao greeted.

Shigeru had met Shigeki Naruya when he was a child, but later Shigeki Naruya went to the Alola region to start a school. When Shigeki was 5 years old, he left the Kanto region without hesitation and went to the distant Alola region to start a school.

It's been seven years since we last met.

"Uncle? You are... Xiao Mao?" It had been a long time since I had seen Xiao Mao, but I would call back every year during the Lunar New Year to greet him. In addition, Xiao Mao's appearance was not much different from when he was a child, so I could still recognize him.

“Yes, I didn’t expect you to still remember me, Uncle,” Xiao Mao said.

"Oh! What a rare guest! Shigeru, why did you suddenly call me?" Shigeya Oki asked in surprise.

Shigeru and Seiya Oki aren't close. They only exchange greetings during holidays and don't usually keep in touch.
