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

Page 346

Scizor doesn't have Eevee's sense of danger, but relying on its high resistance, it withstood the impact of the psychic force with its body, and was only pushed a little over a meter away.

"A flash of lightning!"

Whoosh! !

Scizor charged out quickly, a white streak of light flashing as it reached Espeon and swung its pincers at it.

boom! !

“Mee!!”

Affected by the sandstorm, the Sun Elf was unable to dodge the Scizor's attack, was swatted away, fell to the ground, and fainted.

"Euphorbia is unable to battle, Scizor wins." The referee announced, "All three Pokémon battling Rilla are unable to battle, the winner is challenger Gary."

The words fell.

The sandstorm on the site also dissipated.

"Accepted."

Xiao Mao also retrieved the scyther.

Even a formidable opponent like Lila is no match for Gary; life is truly as lonely as snow.

"Shigeru, this is proof of your successful challenge of the Battle Tower, a symbol of your ability. Keep it safe." After the battle, Lila handed the golden symbol to Shigeru.

"Thank you."

Xiao Shigeru accepted the symbol of ability.

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

After the match, Lila escorted Shigeru and Ashida outside the battlefield.

Xiao Mao returned to Yuhong City in Ashida's sports car.

"Shigeru, you've cleared 6 of the 7 development facilities. Now all that's left is the Battle Pyramid. When do you plan to challenge it?" Ashida asked.

"If possible, the sooner the better, but is it convenient for Mr. Kamishiro?" Shigeru asked.

The Battle Pyramid is different from other battle facilities.

The Battle Pyramid is not just a combat facility; it is also a flying machine, and one capable of long-distance travel, making it extremely expensive to build.

Shiro himself is an explorer and archaeologist who loves to travel to different regions. In the Sinnoh storyline, Shiro even drove the Battle Pyramid to Snowpeak City in the Sinnoh region.

Therefore, if you want to challenge the Pyramid, you need to contact the Gods in advance, make sure the Gods are available, and confirm the location before the pioneering battle can take place.

If Kamishiro himself is in another region, then we can only wait patiently.

508: Heading to Big Fool Valley

“You can rest assured about that. Ash is currently challenging the Battle Pyramid, and Age of Gods has been staying near Big Fool Valley for quite some time. Ash is planning his third challenge, and I can take you there directly,” Ashida said.

"Oh, then let's go to the Pokémon Center to treat our Pokémon first, and then we'll head over," said Gary.

"no problem."

After Ashida finished speaking, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the engine roared even louder. The car began to accelerate and sped along, arriving in Yuhong City in just over ten minutes.

The two rested in Celadon City until the afternoon before setting off. Great Fool Valley is located between Asakusa City and Celadon City, and it is a vast, rocky area.

The sports car sped along, and two hours later, it finally arrived at Big Fool Valley and stopped at the Little Elf Center in the suburbs.

"Huh? When did a Pokémon Center appear here?" Gary was quite surprised to see the Pokémon Center.

When Gary traveled to Big Fool Valley, he didn't see a Pokémon Center.

"It's said that ancient Pokémon were discovered in the Great Fool Valley, and since this road connects Celadon City and Fuchsia City, a Pokémon Center was set up nearby to take care of the ancient Pokémon and provide a place for travelers to rest," Ashida explained.

"I see."

Thinking about this, Xiao Mao realized that he himself had reported the Ancient Spirits, and he hadn't expected the Kanto Alliance to act so quickly.

“Buyi”.

Eevee suddenly cried out, then pointed to the Pokémon Center ahead and immediately ran over.

"Wait for me."

Shigeru knew that Ibu had discovered something, so he followed him.

Upon entering the Pokémon Center, Eevee looked around and then ran to the left, leading Gary to the rest area.

Because the Pokémon Center here also needs to provide rest areas for travelers, the rest area is quite large.

At a table and chairs by the window in the rest area, a group of people were sitting. Xiao Mao spotted a familiar face at a glance and was about to speak when Yi Bu took the initiative to greet him.

"Bu-ee! Bu-ee!"

The group of people resting at the tables and chairs all looked towards the entrance of the passage when they heard Ibu's shout, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiao Mao!"

"Hey! Xiao Mao!"

"Really!"

This group of people are Ash's travel companions: May, Brock, and Max, as well as Professor Oak, but Ash himself is not there.

"Grandpa, why are you here?"

Xiao Mao wasn't surprised to see Xiao Gang and the others there. The key question was why his grandfather had come. He had just handed Eevee over to him last night, and the next day he was here.

"I'm here to deliver everyone's cheers and encouragement." Professor Oak held up a rolled-up piece of paper with Ash's Pokémon's handprints on it, all encouraging Ash and hoping he could defeat Generation.

"Xiao Mao, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yao asked in confusion.

“Shigeru came here, naturally to challenge the Battle Pyramid.” At this moment, Ashida appeared beside Shigeru and explained his purpose.

"Wow! So fast! I just heard a few days ago that Xiao Mao had reached the Battle Palace." Xiao Zheng exclaimed in surprise.

When Ash challenged Age of Gods for the second time, Ash told Ash and the others about Gary's challenge in the Battle Frontier.

It’s only been a few days!

Shigeru cleared the Battle Palace and Battle Tower and arrived here.

"I'm in speedrun mode. After I finish one challenge, I ride my Pokémon to challenge the next one, so I'm very fast," said Xiao Mao.

Ash's speed is slow because of May, who is participating in a Contest, so her progress is slower.

"Grandpa, you're here. What about Eevee?" Shigeru asked.

"Don't worry about that. I've sent Eevee to the Crimson Labs, where Professor Blaine will be looking after it," Professor Oak said.

Shigeru was taken aback. He thought Professor Oak would be very interested, but instead, he was teleported directly to Blaine.

If he hadn't known that Blaine in the anime had never joined Team Rocket, Gary wouldn't have felt comfortable leaving Eevee with Blaine.

"What is this Eevee you're talking about? Isn't Eevee right here?" Xiao Zheng asked, looking at Xiao Shi's Eevee with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, just some Pokémon research stuff. By the way, Gary, are you going to challenge the Battle Pyramid too?" Professor Oak immediately changed the subject.

“Yes, Mr. Ashida said the Battle Pyramid is nearby, and I plan to challenge it tomorrow,” said Shigeru.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

"Tomorrow is probably unlikely. Mr. Kamishiro has already agreed to battle Ash first. As for you, Gary, you'll have to wait," Ashida said.

"It's okay, I can wait." Shigeru looked around and asked, "Where's Little Smarty?"

"Ash, he's going to spend a day in the wild with his Pokémon to get to know each other better. He'll be back tomorrow to challenge Mr. God," Xiaozheng explained.

"Doesn't he understand his own Pokémon?" Gary asked, puzzled.

"This time, Ash plans to use the Pokémon he first caught to challenge Mr. God. In addition to Pikachu, he also has Charizard, Squirtle, and Venusaur," said Xiaozheng.

.. .. ...

Xiao Mao finally understood. Apart from Pikachu, he had forgotten about the other three Pokémon for a year. He still used Charizard occasionally, but he had forgotten about Squirtle and Venusaur for two years.

"Oh, I see. So, Ash and Shiro are going to have a 4v4 match tomorrow?" Gary asked.

“Yes,” Xiao Zheng said.

"How can Ash win? He's bound to lose," said Gary.

"Hey! Xiao Mao, why do you say that?" Xiao Yao asked, puzzled.

Ash has said that Gary is his childhood friend, so Gary should support Ash at this time.

"Mr. Kamishiro's strongest Pokémon are Regirock and Registeel, which even I find very difficult to deal with. Ash's Pokémon don't have any that can handle them for the time being."

Xiao Shigeru said, "4V4! With Mr. Kamishiro using these two Pokémon, Ash's chances of winning are slim."

Upon hearing the two Pokémon that Shigeru mentioned, Masaru and the others immediately showed worried expressions, as Shigeru had been defeated by these two Pokémon from Shigeru's previous encounter.

Although Ash was initially defeated because he was controlled by King Tokratis, he used Sceptile, which had a type advantage, and gained many advantages. However, Sceptile was ultimately defeated by Regirock's Hyper Beam.

In the second challenge, Agera used Registeel, while Ash used Torkoal, which was super effective against it. Despite attacking Registeel many times, Ash couldn't defeat it and was eventually defeated by two Electro Cannon shots from Registeel.

509: Battle Pyramid

"How do we deal with Regirock and Registeel?"

"so difficult."

They didn't think much of it at first, but when Gary suddenly brought up the two Pokémon from Age of Gods, May and Masahiro both felt a headache for Ash.

"Don't worry about that. I don't think the Gods will use these two Pokémon in the same battle," Ashida said.

"Really?" Xiaoyao asked in surprise.

“Of course, those two are legendary Pokémon. In the Battle Frontier Tournament, Shindai will at most use one of them in battle, as a test against the challengers,” Ashida said.

"That's great! Ash should be able to handle one," said Xiaozheng.

But when Xiao Mao heard this, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

The observant Xiao Gang noticed that Xiao Mao seemed troubled and asked, "Xiao Mao, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

"It's alright, I just wanted to go all out with Mr. Kamishiro. It wouldn't be very interesting if we just used a legendary Pokémon," said Shigeru.
