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

303: The Silver Conference Ends

The giant geranium created walls of light around itself to resist the burning of purgatory. The four walls of light did not last long before they shattered. The flames burned the giant geranium's body, scorching its skin before slowly dissipating.

Although the light wall mitigated half of the damage, the giant geranium still suffered severe injuries.

"Not bad, you actually blocked it. Let's try this move then." Shigeru commanded, "Explosive Flame."

"Roar!!"

Charizard roared, and a large number of blue flames floated around its body. The flames transformed into intense explosive flames. As Charizard punched the ground, the ground shattered, and the explosive flames entered the ground. The surging explosive flames flowed underground and reached the base of the giant geranium.

The ground beneath the giant geranium shattered, and a blazing red light emanated from the cracks.

Boom! !

A mushroom cloud of fire shot into the sky, engulfing everything on the ground in flames.

After the mushroom cloud dissipated, the giant geranium lay on its side in the pit, its eyes darting around.

"Giant Geranium is unable to battle." The referee announced, "All of Daobo's Pokémon are unable to battle. The winner of this match is, Shigeru!!"

The Silver Tournament finals have now concluded, with Xiao Mao taking the Silver Tournament championship.

"Daddy Mao... Waaah, you are my second parents."

"Great! I'm finally out of debt! Boss Mao is awesome!"

"Damn it, I should have bet on a 1-6 sweep, then I would be financially independent."

"I really hope Xiao Mao can participate again next time."

"Forget about it. Even if you can participate, you won't win as much as you did this time. Even if you win the league championship twice in a row and continue to participate, the betting companies won't give you a high percentage."

This Silver Tournament has brought benefits to many people. After all, Xiao Mao's achievements are too dazzling, and many people who had nowhere else to turn have been given a new lease on life.

All the competitions have been completed, and next is the closing ceremony, at which the trophies will be awarded.

The one-hour closing ceremony has ended, and it's finally time to present the trophies...!

"Xiao Mao, congratulations on winning the League Tournament once again!" Dama Lanqi congratulated him.

After all, Dama Lanqi had just given Xiao Mao a trophy last year, so he naturally remembered Xiao Mao.

"Thank you, President."

Xiao Mao expressed his gratitude and accepted the championship trophy.

[Ding! Mission complete. Requirements met. Reward doubled and sent to your inventory.]

Hearing the system notification tone made me incredibly happy.

This time the rewards are doubled, with 6 Special Ability Enhancement Stones alone, which can strengthen many Pokémon.

After the awards ceremony, the Silver Conference officially came to an end.

...!

Inside the restaurant, everyone gathered to eat and celebrate Shigeru winning the Silver Tournament championship.

"Ash, aren't you planning to come back with us?" Aunt Hanako immediately expressed her displeasure upon learning that Ash intended to travel back to the Kanto region.

A mother worries about her child no matter how far he travels. Aunt Hanako was very worried about Satoshi. She would rather Satoshi do nothing than have his safety guaranteed.

"Mom, Misty, the others, and I are planning to go to Altomare. We discussed it before we came to the Johto region," Ash said.

“Auntie, we’re just traveling, nothing will happen, and we’ll be going by boat,” Xia said.

Odormare is a water city known as the Water City, naturally producing Water-type Pokémon. Misty has longed to visit this city for a long time, and since she will be passing through Odormare on her way back to the Kanto region by water, she naturally wants to have a good look around.

"Alright, go ahead and have fun." Since Xia had spoken, Hanako didn't object and immediately agreed.

Seeing this, Xiao Mao felt that Hanako must be treating Xiaoxia as Xiaozhi's future daughter-in-law, otherwise why would Hanako agree to Xiaoxia's request to go to Otomare?

"What about you, Gary? Are you coming back with us?" Professor Oak asked.

"I'll go check out Odomare too. The match's over, I need to relax a bit," Xiao Mao said.

"That's perfect, let's go together," Xiaoxia suggested.

"can."

Gary was just going to join in the fun, so naturally he went to Altomara with Ash and the others.

The plot of the fifth theatrical film takes place in Odomare, and Shigeru wouldn't have gotten involved if it weren't for triggering a system mission.

After all, Latias and Latios are a pair of Pokémon, and Gary knew very well that as long as he captured a legendary Pokémon, he would trigger a system quest and receive a reward.

If you capture Latias and Latios, you'll definitely trigger a quest that will reward you with Master Candy.

Furthermore, Shigeru felt very sorry for Latios, who had been sacrificed in Odomarea. He felt that if he had gone there, he could have prevented such a tragedy from happening.

This tragedy was caused by two members of the Rockets, who were somewhat different from the rest of the Rockets team.

The members of Team Rocket are responsible for hunting powerful Pokémon or stealing other people's Pokémon, but these two members are only interested in stealing valuable jewels.

Both members are women named Sanna and Lian, and are internationally notorious female thieves who specialize in stealing and are constantly wanted by the police.

With proper planning, these two could be used to help Gary capture Latios and Latios.

After lunch.

Professor Oak and Aunt Hanako left the Johto region by car in the afternoon and flew back to Kanto.

Gary and Ash contacted Professor Oak's lab directly to send back the Pokémon that participated in the Silver Conference, and a few more Pokémon were also sent over.

Gary teleported all six of his Pokémon back to their original location, keeping Blastoise, Gengar, Eevee, Alakazam, Magneton, and Charizard with him.

Magneton only needs to consume electricity and can usually be struck by lightning, which can greatly reduce Gary's burden.

Ash sent all his Pokémon back to Professor Oak's lab, but kept Pikachu.

It's an old tradition!

Any Pokémon can be placed in Professor Oak's lab, except for Pikachu; it must stay with you.

"...Eevee, Gengar, come out." After receiving the Pokémon teleported by Jian, Xiao Mao released Eevee and Gengar.

“Buyi”.

"Geng Ga!"

Eevee and Gengar both knew that Gary had won the Silver Conference and congratulated him.

"Thank you. I'll need your help for the rest of the trip, so please take care of yourselves," Xiao Mao said.

Gengar nodded and slipped into Gary's shadow, with Eevee following closely behind.

304: Odomare

"Gary, doesn't your Gengar like staying in its Poké Ball either?" Ash asked.

I knew from the Cinnabar Lab that Gary's Eevee didn't like staying in its Poké Ball, but I didn't expect his Gengar to be the same.

“Yeah, Gengar didn’t like staying in its Poké Ball when it was still Gastly, but that’s fine too. Gengar can sneak into the shadows, which helps me avoid some risks,” Gary said.

"That's really convenient. It makes me want to breed a Gengar too," Ash thought to himself.

"You should wait until you meet someone else to talk about it. Let's go buy some supplies; we're leaving tomorrow." Shigeru quickly pulled Ash away, interrupting Ash's thoughts.

Ash's Gengar is currently still in a captured state and hasn't been abandoned yet. If Ash were to capture Gengar now, that Gengar would be homeless.

The two found Xiaogang and Xiaoxia and went to Elf Department Store to buy items. On the way, they encountered many girls asking Xiaomao for autographs, and Xiaomao signed them all that he could.

Ash looked on with a sullen expression when he saw Gary being so popular with so many girls. Although Ash was a bit slow on the uptake when it came to romance, he still really wanted to be popular with girls.

After getting rid of these enviable troubles, Gary and Ash finished shopping and set off early the next morning for the beach, where they took a boat to Ottomare.

...!

After a week, the group finally arrived in Odomaré.

During this week, Xiao Mao didn't train much and lived a very ordinary travel life. However, because there were many people, everyone did their own job and everything was done very quickly.

With Xiao Gang as their all-around babysitter, there's no need to worry about feeding the Pokémon, since the food they carry is limited, and the four of them only have enough for a few days at most.

With Xiao Gang around, they can collect tree fruits and plants along the way to eat, so there's no need to worry about food shortages.

The little smart travel team has been able to get to where they are today thanks to Xiao Gang. After all, they got lost on the original itinerary many times. If it weren't for Xiao Gang, they would have starved to death in the wild. Even if they didn't starve to death, they would definitely have gotten sick from hunger.

"Wow, this is Odomare, a city built on water, how romantic!" Xiaoxia exclaimed excitedly as she disembarked and saw the waterway beside her.

Ash and Brock were the same, and Gary was also visiting such a unique city for the first time, so they couldn't help but linger and admire it for a while.

(bbcj) "Okay! I want to participate in the water sports competition. Let's go register!" Xiaoxia ran off excitedly.

Xiao Mao and the others looked at each other and followed suit.

On her way to Odo Mare, Xiaoxia researched everything about the area and knew that water sports competitions would be held there, so she wanted to participate as soon as possible.

The water race is a very popular event in Alto Marre, held every week. The group quickly found the registration location and signed up at the Pokémon Center.

"You've come at the perfect time. The water sports competition is tomorrow. If you want to participate, you should register now," Joey said.

"I want to sign up." Xiaoxia raised her hand enthusiastically to sign up. As long as it's a water-related competition, Xiaoxia is always eager to participate.

"Okay! I want to participate too." Ash also wanted to join in the fun. How could Ash miss out on any competition?

"Ash...you don't have any Water-type Pokémon, why are you joining in?" Misty asked, puzzled.

"That's easy. I'll contact Professor Oak and have him teleport my Totodile over here," Ash said.

Xiaoxia forgot that she could also teleport spirits.

"Then let's have a competition and see who can win first place," Xiaoxia said.

"Let's compete. I'll definitely take first place."

The two immediately started arguing.

"Hey! Xiao Mao, aren't you going to participate?" Xiao Xia suddenly noticed that Xiao Mao was watching quietly from the side and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Oh right, Gary, you have Blastoise, why aren't you participating?" Ash asked.

"I'm too famous now, I need to keep a low profile," Xiao Mao said.

Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi were sweating profusely.
