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

Page 338

Now all that's left for Tulip is Arcanine. This Arcanine fought Tyranitar before and suffered some damage. Plus, given the difference in strength between it and Blastoise, it's no match for Blastoise.

Umberto already had a premonition that he was going to lose. All I can say is that this time, Ashida found a monster trainer to challenge the Battle Frontier. It is estimated that among all the pioneers in the Kanto region, only Shiro can rival Gary.

"Arcanine, I'm begging you to come out again." Tulip sent out Arcanine once more.

"Ouch!"

Arcanine enters the scene and immediately activates its Intimidate ability.

Unfortunately, Blastoise is a dual-wielder, with almost no difference between its physical and special attacks. Since its physical attack has been lowered, it can simply switch to special attack moves.

With a wave of his hand, Shigeru commanded, "Use Water Pulse!"

"Kami!!"

Blastoise continuously sprayed water (bbcj) balls from its cannon, attacking Arcanine like cannonballs.

"Dodge with lightning speed." Tulip was still resisting.

Arcanine displayed its agility, dodging Water Pulse. Not a single water ball could hit Arcanine, and it gradually approached Blastoise while dodging.

"Wave missile!" Xiao Mao immediately changed the command.

Blastoise stopped firing Water Pulse, and at that moment, Tulip issued the command: "Now! Wild Volt!"

"Ouch!"

Arcanine used its acceleration to rush towards the sea, its body crackling with golden lightning that covered its entire body. It moved on all fours, its speed allowing it to run on the water's surface.

"Kami!"

Blastoise fired a blue Aura Sphere from its cannon. The Aura Sphere flew quickly toward Arcanine, but was deflected by Arcanine's Thunder Coat after it touched Arcanine.

Boom! !

Arcanine crashed headfirst into Blastoise, creating a cloud of black smoke.

"It actually hit! No wonder it's Tulip Senior..." Ashida looked at the sea in surprise and saw Arcanine swimming towards the beach.

After hitting Blastoise, Arcanine also fell into the water, enduring the damage from Mad Volt's recoil, and swam towards the beach using Dog Paddle.

The speed dog is currently like a small boat, moving very slowly in the water, and doesn't deserve the name "speed dog".

"Not bad, then we'll respond with our strongest move... Blastoise, Hydro Pump!!" Gary commanded.

Blastoise poked its head out of the sea, more than ten meters away from Arcanine, and transparent blue energy waves gathered at the muzzle of its shoulder cannon.

"Growlithe, stop swimming, turn around and use Flamethrower!" Tulip commanded quickly.

Arcanine immediately turned around and spewed out a flame that resembled a fire serpent, traversing the sea surface. White smoke rose from the sea wherever it passed, indicating that the flame was extremely hot.

"Kami!!"

Blastoise's cannons unleashed two massive water jets, causing the sea surface to recede violently to the sides, creating a vacuum zone. The terrifying water cannons instantly extinguished the flames and struck Arcanine.

"Ouch!!!"

Arcanine howled in pain as it was blasted ashore by the water cannon, crashing through several trees before finally stopping.

The referee machine immediately flew over to check Arcanine's condition. After confirming Arcanine's status, it immediately announced: "Arcanine is unable to battle... All three Pokémon of Palace Guardian Tulip have been defeated. The winner of this match is Gary."

"Blastoise, come back and rest."

Shigeru casually recalled Blastoise.

Ash looked at the victorious Ash and said with some distress, "He's also breached the fifth fortress in the Battle Frontier...!"

498: Yuhong City, a chance encounter with a real bird

Although Ashida often invites powerful trainers to challenge the Battle Frontier, he doesn't really want the challengers to clear it, otherwise the Battle Frontier would seem to have no challenge at all.

Currently, no more than 20 trainers have been invited by Ashida to take on the challenge, but none of them have been able to clear the Battle Frontier.

Even Ash Ketchum himself had to attempt the Battle Frontier several times before finally clearing it, with the last two Battle Facilities being the most difficult to conquer.

Ash took two attempts to clear the Battle Tower.

Ash took three attempts to defeat the Pyramid.

"I have lost. This is proof of the victor's spirit." After the battle, Ume handed the golden symbol to Shigeru.

"Thank you."

Xiao Mao thanked him and took the symbol in his hand.

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

"Shigeru, the next thing is the Battle Tower. When are you planning to go?" Ashida asked.

"We'll go this afternoon," Xiao Mao said.

It's only 10 a.m. I'll hurry back to the Pokémon Center on the island, treat my Pokémon, have a meal, and then head to the Battle Tower this afternoon so I can challenge it tomorrow.

"You just finished fighting me, are you sure you don't want to rest? The other two pioneer leaders are much stronger than me," Yu Jin reminded him.

"No need, I have other Pokémon to fight," Gary said, shaking his head.

Tulip was speechless...!

It feels like Xiao Mao played a game with me, but he didn't seem to have any energy depleted at all. He's such a failure as the leader of the pioneers.

I really don't know where Ashida found this monster.

...!

After their battle with Tulip, Gary and Ashida returned to the Pokémon Center.

Ashida didn't eat on the island either. She sent me, Xiao Mao, the address of the Battle Tower, bought a bento box, and left by boat ahead of time.

Because Ashida needs to be present for each challenge, she has to arrive early.

After giving the Pokémon he had fought that day to Nurse Joy for treatment, Gary began preparing lunch for his own Pokémon.

Rest time after a satisfying meal and drinks.

"System, exchange an earthquake for me."

[Ding! Skill successfully acquired.]

When challenging Little Thistle before, Shigeru planned to exchange for Earthquake, but he was in a hurry and didn't exchange it at the time.

The Battle Tower challenge is coming up soon, so before that, I need to improve my Pokémon's skill pool.

The Battle Tower's Battle Lord is Lila.

Although Lila in the animation looks ordinary, don't be fooled by her. As the leader of the Battle Tower, her strength is already very close to that of a champion.

In particular, Ashida doesn't really like Gary being able to break through the Battle Frontier, so she will definitely inform Lila in advance so that Lila can use her main Pokémon. Gary will then have to be cautious.

Gary got up, walked to the Pokémon, and began to teach them the Earthquake skill one by one.

There are quite a few Pokémon that can learn the Earthquake move. All of the Pokémon that Gary currently has can learn it, except for Nidoran, which cannot learn it for the time being. However, once Nidoran evolves into Nidoking, it will be able to learn it.

After teaching the Pokémon about earthquakes, at 1:30 PM, Gary rode Charizard back to the mainland and headed to the Battle Tower.

...!

The Battle Tower is located in the central part of the Kanto region, on the southern outskirts of Yukiho City. It's quite far away; it would take at least half a month to get there on foot.

Gary rode Charizard and arrived in Celadon City in just one hour.

"Charizard, you've worked hard." After landing, Gary recalled Charizard into its Poké Ball and prepared to enter the Pokémon Center, but the door suddenly opened automatically, and a woman wearing round-framed glasses appeared at the door.

"you...!!"

The woman was startled when she saw Xiao Mao.

Xiao Mao was also very surprised, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.

"Isn't this the arcade's lobby manager? What's he doing here?" Xiao Mao asked.

The woman was no good person; she was Itagi's secretary, Masato.

When Gary first became a trainer, he tricked Team Rocket out of two Eevee birds at the arcade in Celadon City. He never expected that after so long, he would see real birds again.

But this bird is really bold. As Giovanni's secretary, it must know a lot about him. It just openly comes to the Pokémon Center without fear of being caught.

Meanwhile, Makoto's heart was pounding, because she knew what Shigeru had been doing in recent years.

Leaving aside the competition results, Shinnori knows everything about what happened with the Great Violet Company. Back then, the Rockets sent executives to cooperate with the Great Violet Company, but it was easily ruined by Shigeru.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

More importantly, according to the intelligence from his subordinates, Shigeru was fighting Rayquaza all by himself.

That's Rayquaza! Even if Team Rocket dares to make a move, it's because they have advanced technology. They wouldn't dare to fight a legendary Pokémon by relying solely on their Pokémon.

But Gary dared to do this, which shows that he is definitely a person who hates evil. If he knew that there was a Team Rocket secret base in Rainbow City, he would definitely wipe it out.

"Mr. Xiao Mao, I didn't expect to meet you here. Would you like to go to the arcade again? I can give you 100,000 yen worth of chips for free," said Zhen Niao with a friendly smile.

Seeing the real bird's friendly attitude, Shigeru was also taken aback.

.. .. ...

When they ripped off the arcade kids back then, Masato's face was really grim.

It seems there aren't any high-ranking officials in charge of the underground base near the arcade, which is why Shin-chan is being so friendly.

However, after careful consideration, Xiao Mao realized that with his current strength, none of the Rockets' executives were his match, and they should be afraid of him.

"No need then, I'm leaving now." Xiao Mao had no interest in going to the arcade.

I went to the arcade because of PUA Elf, and with Sabrina by my side as a cheat, I didn't have to worry about losing at all.

If you let Xiao Mao gamble, he'll lose all his money. Nine out of ten gamblers lose; not gambling is the only way to win. If you want to get rich overnight through gambling, you're dreaming.

"Haha, Mr. Shigeru, come visit sometime! I'll be going now." Masato gave a worldly smile and then left.

"What's going on here?" Xiao Mao asked, puzzled.

You can tell that the real bird was changing its expression just now, but as for why it changed its expression, that remains a mystery.

Xiao Mao decided to ask Joey.

Upon entering the Pokémon Center, Shigeru approached the counter.
