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

Page 219

Shigeru touched Latios's arm and checked its data after Mega Evolution.

[Potential: Legendary]

【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】

【Holding Item: Latios Mega Stone】

Latios's stats remained unchanged; the only difference was that he now possessed a Mega Stone.

Xiao Mao was puzzled, wondering where this super stone came from and why there was an extra super stone.

"Latios, can you undo this?" Shigeru asked.

"Woo!" Latios nodded, its whole body radiating light. As the light disappeared, Latios returned to its original state.

Higana, standing to the side, was practically drooling, looking at Gary and Latios with envy.

"Latios, what's new on you?" Shigeru asked.

"Ugh."

Latios nodded, knowing that it had an extra item in its storage space. When Xiao Shi spoke, it took out the Mega Stone from its storage space.

This superstone is light purple, and the willow leaf pattern inside is composed of light purple and blue.

"Mega Stone!!" Higana was also very surprised when she saw the Mega Stone that Latios took out, as she knew the function of the Mega Stone.

"Grandma, did you give this Mega Stone to Latios?" Higana immediately asked her grandmother.

“No,” Grandma Higana shook her head and said, “This super stone was just born.”

Xiao Mao was stunned.

If that's the case, then the creator of the Mega Stone is the Pokémon themselves, and has nothing to do with humans.

That makes sense, since a thousand years ago, human technology wasn't advancing so rapidly, and it was impossible for them to invent super stones.

"Grandma, are Mega Stones made by Pokémon?" Gary asked.

“Yes, when an elf is bathed in sufficiently powerful life energy, a Super Stone will be born within its body,” Grandma Higana said.

329: Higana's Trial

Looking at the meteorite crater, Xiao Mao thought, "Couldn't the meteorites in this crater be used to mass-produce super stones? No wonder the Meteor People have guarded this place for generations."

"Grandma, you're just telling me this so easily?" Xiao Mao was somewhat taken aback.

Currently, various regions have begun researching super evolution. If word gets out about this, not only villainous organizations, but even righteous organizations will be forced to take action.

"The creation of a Mega Stone is simple, but not so easy. If the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon is not strong enough, a new Mega Stone cannot be created."

Higana's grandmother said dismissively, "The birth of a super stone requires sufficient life energy. This meteorite's energy has long since dissipated. Even if it can still produce super stones, I doubt many will be born."

"Grandma, what about my Super Stone?" Xijiana asked.

Higana was thinking of becoming the inheritor of Meteor Village, and that once she became the inheritor, she could obtain the Key Stone and the Mega Stone.

“Your Super Stone has always been there. If you want to get it, you have to pass the test that I, your grandma, have set for you,” Grandma Higana said.

"A test? What kind of test?" Higana asked immediately.

“Go and gain the Dragon God’s approval, and you will be the successor,” Grandma Xijiana said.

Xiao Mao was dumbfounded.

Are you sure this is a test that a human can pass, to gain Rayquaza's approval? How do you expect him to approve? Besides, your Meteor Clan hasn't been born for a thousand years. Does Rayquaza even recognize you?

Although Rayquaza won't bully the weak, it will relentlessly hunt down any invading of its territory.

In the movie "Rayquaza's Visit Here", the two Deoxys were simply attracted by Earth's gravity and entered the atmosphere, only to be reduced to a core by Rayquaza.

After several years of hardship, Rayquaza was finally revived, but it has caught up again.

If you happen to encounter Rayquaza taking a stroll on the road, that's fine. But if you actually trespass into Rayquaza's territory, you'll most likely be attacked by him.

"Then how can we gain the approval of the Dragon God?" Higana asked.

"follow me."

Higana's grandmother led the two back to the village and they came to an ancestral hall. This ancestral hall was not used to worship ancestors, but instead it was filled with many green crystals that could be seen from the outside.

"Excuse me... what is this green crystal?" Xiao Mao asked.

I was curious about what green crystals were when I saw the armored dragon use them to heal its injuries, but I forgot to ask because of Sigana's appearance.

"This is a dragon crystal, which contains dragon energy. Dragon-type Pokémon can use the energy in the dragon crystal to heal their injuries and restore their stamina," Higana explained.

"Oh!"

Xiao Mao was very surprised. Even though he was quite experienced, this was the first time he had ever heard of a substance called Dragon Crystal.

"Is this dragon crystal naturally formed?" Xiao Mao asked curiously.

Higanbana explained that Dragon Crystals can heal Dragon-type Pokémon, but obviously, Dragon Crystals are also very helpful for the growth of Dragon-type Pokémon. Along the way, the Trapinch that Gary saw had potential above that of a Gym Leader, something that would never happen in the wild.

Dragon-type Pokémon born in Meteor Village generally have higher potential than wild Pokémon from the outside world, which is probably due to the Dragon Crystal.

"I don't know either." Xijiana hadn't thought about this question yet, because she had seen dragon crystal since she was a child, and to Xijiana, dragon crystal was just like any other stone that could be found anywhere else.

“No, Dragon Crystal is a mineral formed when Rift Star absorbs life energy and transforms it, and it has remained to this day,” Grandma Higana said.

Gary was shocked. He hadn't expected that the Dragon Crystal was related to Rayquaza. The life energy of the Rainbow Meteorite was indeed enormous. Even with Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, they couldn't completely digest the Rainbow Meteorite.

"Higana, take this meteorite to the Dragon God. If the Dragon God accepts it, you will be the new successor." Grandma Higana took a meteorite from the altar and handed it to Higana.

The meteorite wasn't big, only about the size of two fists, and looked like an ordinary meteorite, but Xiao Mao was certain that this meteorite was definitely not ordinary.

"Grandma, where else can I look for the Dragon God?" Xijiana asked.

"Go to the Sky Pillar."

Where is the Pillar of Sky?

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

“It’s on a deserted island near Liuli City. You can find it there. Let Xiao Mao go with you,” Grandma Xijiana said.

"Wait a minute, why do I have to go with Higana?" Xiao Mao asked in surprise.

Although he didn't know what Higana's grandmother wanted to do, and since this trial had nothing to do with him, Shigeru didn't really want to get involved.

Why, you ask?

The three ancient Pokémon all have such bad tempers that they might get beaten up.

“Since Xijiana has lived here since she was a child and has never been outside, I am worried about her going out alone. I hope you can take care of her,” said Xijiana’s grandmother.

The outside world is changing rapidly, but the Meteor People have always lived in Meteor Village and have never had any contact with the outside world. The villagers do not have household registration, which makes it very inconvenient for them to go out and move around.

0.....0

When you're out and about, you need identification for everything – food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. As an undocumented person, Higana can't even heal an elf. If she goes out alone, she'll be in real trouble and might even get arrested by the police.

"This...!" Shigeru was in a dilemma. Agreeing would cause trouble, but if he didn't agree, he would be getting Latios Mega Stones from them, and refusing would be unreasonable.

"By the way, you came here to catch a Dragon-type Pokémon. If you're willing to accompany Higana to the Sky Pillar, I'll give you a Dragon-type Pokémon," said Grandma Higana.

"Grandma, you're too kind. Even setting aside Dragon-type Pokémon, I would help you too, just for the fact that you helped Latios Mega Evolve." Gary immediately greeted him with a smile, "By the way, Grandma, what kind of Dragon-type Pokémon are you talking about?"

Higanbana: →_→!

Although Higana was naive, she felt a surge of disdain upon seeing Shigeru's rapid change of expression. She couldn't understand how Latios could have taken a liking to him.

Grandma Higanbana simply gave a kind smile, and then led Gary and Higanbana to the village's place where Pokémon were raised.

The place where the Pokémon are raised is also very rustic. It's just a piece of land enclosed by stones, with many dragon crystals embedded in the surrounding mountain walls. Several young dragon-type Pokémon are playing inside, and there are people who are specifically responsible for taking care of the Pokémon.

330: Baby Dragon Arrived

"Elder, what brings you here?"

The person in charge of taking care of these elves was a woman named Simon. She was also very puzzled when she saw Grandma Higana arrive, because today was not the day to choose elves for the villagers.

“Simone, this is a trainer from outside named Gary. I asked him to accompany Higanbana out, and I promised to give him a Dragon-type Pokémon,” said Higanbana’s grandmother.

"Um!!"

Upon hearing that a trainer had arrived from outside, Simon immediately looked at Gary, who was standing next to Siganna.

"Hello... my name is Xiao Mao." Xiao Mao responded politely, but he still felt a chill run down his spine under Simon's gaze.

“Since it’s the elder’s request, then choose an elf here,” Simon said, opening the wooden door.

When Xiao Mao and Xi Jiana went inside, they saw that there were several Pokémon being kept there, all of them Trapinch and Bagon. There were more Trapinch "050"s than Bagon.

【LV7 Baby Dragon ♂/King】

【LV8 Baby Dragon ♂/King】

【LV10 Baby Dragon ♂/King】

【LV10 Trapinchant ♂/Champion】

Xiao Mao looked at the giant mandible ant and the baby dragon inside and was speechless.

All three baby dragons have the potential to become Elite Four members, while one of the Trapinch has the potential to become a Champion.

Aren't all the dragon-type Pokémon here raised with dragon crystals? How come there are still so few Pokémon with high potential?

Xiao Shiu had forgotten what the wild Pokémon situation was like outside. It was hard to find even one Pokémon with gym potential among the wild Pokémon outside, while the Dragon-type Pokémon here all started with gym potential.

Moreover, the Dragon-type Pokémon here are bred for the villagers; those with high potential have naturally been transferred away long ago.
