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

Page 137

"Roar." Tyranitar looked at the empty space and understood what Gary wanted to say to it, so it waited for Gary to speak.

"I'm here to improve your strength, but I don't know what changes will occur after the improvement," Xiao Mao said.

"Roar?" Tyranitar was also puzzled. Improving strength just meant becoming stronger, so what could possibly change?

Gary didn't explain to Tyranitar. He reached out and placed his hand on Tyranitar, using up an Ability Enhancement Stone, and then checked Tyranitar's stats.

Xiao Mao: (O_o)??

Shigeru stared at Shigeru, puzzled. The description of the ability was the same as the original description of the Sandstorm ability, with no changes.

"Roar...!" However, Tyranitar seemed to sense something, as if it could change the climate of this world.

"Tyranitar, do you feel your ability getting stronger?" Gary asked.

"Roar!" Tyranitar was startled, then nodded, wondering how Gary had managed to strengthen his ability.

"Try activating your special ability," said Xiao Mao.

Tyranitar activated its ability, and the originally calm indoor space was suddenly filled with strong winds. Tornadoes formed from sand grains appeared, and a sandstorm covered the entire arena. The sand in the air made visibility extremely low and shortened the field of vision. If Gary hadn't been right next to Tyranitar, he wouldn't have been able to see Tyranitar at all.

This isn't just a sandstorm, it's a dust storm!

"Could it make the sandstorm worse?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Roar."

Tyranitar tried it out, but the sandstorm became even more intense, and the sand grains stung Little Blue's face.

"Articuno, disperse the sandstorm." Gary immediately released Articuno to test it.

"Aww!!"

Articuno emerged from its Poké Ball and, sensing the surrounding sandstorm, immediately disliked it. It used Snowscape, but the sandstorm didn't disappear; Tyranitar's sandstorm covered up Articuno's Snowscape.

"This... is so powerful." Xiao Shi was shocked. This sandstorm weather was terrifying. It not only caused a sandstorm of the scale of a dust storm, but even the three legendary birds could not stop the sandstorm launched by Tyranitar.

Of course, this could also be due to Articuno's own low level (Zhao Wang Zhao).

Xiao Mao wanted to continue testing, so he took out another high-level ball, opened it, and released the Moltres.

"Awoo." As soon as the firebird came out, it felt very uncomfortable looking at the sandstorm-like weather. In any case, the three legendary birds did not like sandstorm weather. They usually flew around and rarely flew to desert areas.

“Molotov, try replacing the sandstorm with a sunny day,” Gary said.

"Aww."

Moltres used Sunny Day, but the sandstorm inside remained, and Moltres was unable to dispel Tyranitar's sandstorm either.

"Roar!!" Tyranitar became smug, never expecting that even the three legendary birds couldn't dispel its sandstorm.

"You two work together and see if you can disperse the sandstorm," Xiao Mao said.

"Aww!"

"Aww!"

Moltres and Articuno unleashed their weather moves, which reduced the sandstorm on the field, but it didn't disappear completely.

199: Return to Pallet Town

"Hi~!"

Xiao Mao gasped inwardly, never expecting the enhanced sandstorm to be so terrifying; even the three legendary birds couldn't dissipate it.

“Alright, Tyranitar, you can stop the sandstorm now,” Gary said.

Upon hearing this, Tyranitar waved his hand, and the raging sandstorm quickly subsided and dissipated.

Xiao Mao touched his face. Just a moment ago, Xiao Mao's cheeks had turned red. This wasn't because he was shy, but because he had been hit by sand.

"I wonder how far this sandstorm can affect." Xiao Mao was very curious about this, but this is a city. If the sandstorm is too large, it will affect other people. We can only test it in the wild later.

Furthermore, there was one ability enhancement stone left that Gary didn't intend to keep. He planned to give it to Scizor when they returned to Professor Oak's lab, as he was very curious about the kind of improvement a skilled user would receive from ability enhancement.

The following day, the Orange League released another message: Ash, a trainer from Pallet Town, would challenge Yuji in a week.

This has caused quite a stir. The Chief Trainer Challenge is not a frequent event; it's considered good if it's held four or five times a year. I never expected that it would be held twice this month.

The key point is that the challenger is from Pallet Town 327. You should know that the last trainer who challenged Yuji, Gary, was also from Pallet Town, which makes it very interesting.

This news also reduced Gary's popularity considerably, and Gary left Citrus Island the next day, riding Moltres into Kanto and returning to Pallet Town.

The match between Ash and Yonex wasn't very interesting.

Because Ash's current strength is stronger than in the original story, as long as Ash doesn't have a relapse, defeating Yuuji shouldn't be a big problem. Although Yuuji's Elite Four-level Dragonite is very strong, a Pokémon at the near-Elite Four level can already spar with that Dragonite. As long as the battle goes smoothly in the beginning, they can defeat the Dragonite with sheer numbers.

...!

Really new town.

Xiao Mao arrived before noon. With a Pokémon like Moltres that can fly long distances, he can fly freely within an area.

"Gary, you're back! Why didn't you stay and watch Ash's match?" Professor Oak knew that Gary had successfully defeated Yonex and thought that Gary would stay on Citrus Island and come back together after Ash's challenge.

"Yooji's strength is just so-so. If Ash can't even beat him, he's not qualified to continue being my rival," Gary said proudly.

"So how long do you plan to stay at home this time?" Professor Oak approached warmly, his words seemingly concerned about Gary, but his eyes remained fixed on Moltres.

"Let's stay here for a while. I need to test the strength of some Pokémon so I can arrange their training," said Shigeru.

"Alright, alright, then Gary, quickly release your Pokémon so Grandpa can check it out for you," Professor Oak said with a smile.

"understood."

Gary knew exactly what Professor Oak was thinking, and opened the four Poké Balls on his body.

"Everyone can have a good rest now. I'll go prepare some food for you," Xiao Mao said.

"Then, Gary, you go ahead and do your work. I'll check on your Pokémon." Professor Oak stared at Moltres and Articuno. If he weren't worried that directly attacking them would upset the two Pokémon, he would have loved to start immediately.

"Grandpa, be careful. The Moltres's fiery feathers are real fire. Anyone who touches them without its approval will get burned," Xiao Mao warned.

“I know, both Ponyta and Rapidash have this characteristic. I understand, so you can go and prepare the food without worry,” Professor Oak said.

"Bear with it, my grandpa just wants to observe you. Please don't hurt him," Xiao Mao reminded him before going to his room to prepare food.

Gary is very capable, after all, he has been working alongside Professor Oak since he was a child, so he is very efficient and quickly prepared food for the Pokémon in the backyard.

The key is that there is a special machine in the room that makes Pokémon food, and Gary just needs to pour the raw materials in.

The Pokémon that remained at Oak's lab also gathered around at mealtime, and when they saw Gary, they all happily surrounded him.

"Long time no see! Let's eat quickly, I'm going to test your strength later," Xiao Mao said.

Before heading to Twin Islands, Gary set rules for his Pokémon: they must train them well, and when he returned, he would boost the potential of the highest-level Pokémon.

Furthermore, the competition is divided into two teams based on potential: one team has the potential to become a top star, and the other team has the potential to become a top star.

We'll put aside the potential Pokémon for the gym for now, and there aren't any Champion potential Pokémon yet.

Upon hearing the sound, all the elves went to eat.

Shigeru looked at his Pokémon and observed their level changes. More than two months had passed, and their levels had still changed.

【LV53 Exeggutor♂/Near-King】

【LV54 Forsaken Monkey ♂/Near-Heavenly King】

【LV55 Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex ♂/Near-Elite Four】

【LV52 Ice Sprite♂/Near-King】

【LV37 Onix♀/Near-Elite Four】

The level of the Pokémon with the potential to become an Elite Four member in Xiao Shi's hands: Onix was caught during the challenge of the Orange League and is not needed for the time being. However, there is no need to worry about Onix. After using a Superior Metal Coat on it later, its potential will be raised to the level of an Elite Four member.

According to the rules set before leaving, Giratina is the highest-level Pokémon with the potential to become a Champion. This is quite normal, as Giratina was already at a high level when it was first captured by Gary and trained very hard. It is normal for its level to be far ahead of others.

The Abandoned Monkey was level 54, which surprised Gary; it even surpassed Exeggutor's level.

Shigeru then looked at the Pokémon with the potential to become Elite Four members.

【LV55 Alakazam ♂/Elite Four】

【LV56 Pidgeot ♂/King】

【LV55 Fossil Pterosaur ♂/Uranus】

【LV40 Magneton/Ultraman】

Unexpectedly, Pidgeot is the highest level, but Pidgeot usually works quite hard, so it's normal.

After the Pokémon finished eating, Gary, following the rules, raised the potential of his Giga Tyranitar to Elite Four and his potential of his Pidgeot to Champion.

The other Pokémon were envious, but they didn't complain. After all, the rules were set in advance, and they couldn't compete with the others in training, so they were simply less skilled.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so you still need to train hard," Xiao Mao said.

The elves all nodded, deciding to train hard and strive for the next opportunity to become stronger.

Of course, Gary also gave his Pokémon a boost. He taught all his Pokémon the TMs he got from challenging the Southern Cross Gym, including Rest and Hyper Beam, as a small reward for their hard work.

"Alright, it's your turn next, Scizor."
