The Journey of the Elves

With the name of Wave Messenger and the goal of becoming a master, Master Zhi embarked on a journey in this magical world.

The Journey of the Elves
Chapter 001 Departure
Chapter 001: The Journey of the Elves
“What a misfortune!”
Outside the Pallet Town, the black-haired boy was running at full speed, and so was the electric mouse under his feet.
As for why they are running, I believe that after you see the dense flock of Seraphim behind them, you will look at them with sympathy and secretly pray in your heart that they can survive this difficult time.
The boy who is running is named Xiaozhi, and he is not a local.
The local here does not mean that Xiaozhi is not a resident of Pallet Town, or an outsider or something, but that he is not a native of this world. To put it in a simpler way, Xiaozhi comes from another dimension.
Simply put, he is a time traveler that the Chinese people love to talk about.
I won’t go into details about the process of time travel. After all, the process varies depending on the person who travels through time. It is worth mentioning that Xiaozhi died of exhaustion while saving people in his previous life.
I think the reason why Xiaozhi was able to travel to this world was because he was rewarded for dying while saving others.
Xiaozhi has been in this world for more than ten years. During this period, he did not encounter the young form of Pikachu when he was a child, nor awaken the power of waves like his predecessors who traveled through time from other worlds.
In the past ten years, although he has worked hard to exercise and study various Pokémon knowledge diligently, and even made Serena fall in love with him during the summer camp, these cannot make Xiaozhi travel early.
Therefore, Xiaozhi could only wait obediently until his tenth birthday, when he was legally considered an adult with the capacity for civil conduct, and then go with his town friend Xiaomao to ask Professor Oak for the initial Pokémon.
But his luck was really bad this year. Besides him and Xiao Mao, the other newcomers who set out were two passers-by who looked like stepping stones.
Satoshi, who is already an adult in terms of mental age, naturally has no intention of competing with these children for Pokémon. After all, he has been working as a handyman for Professor Oak for several years and can be considered as half an assistant. Professor Oak would not treat him unfairly out of both emotion and reason.
Having said that, Xiaozhi was originally worried that Professor Oak might not have caught the Pikachu in the original work, and might just use a quasi-god baby to deceive himself. After all, this Pikachu is a powered-up Genesis Alpaca and a level 5 Grass Snake, and is respected by the audience as Pikachu!
Fortunately, when it came to the end of selecting the Pokémon, the destined Pikachu was given to Satoshi by Professor Oak.
However, after getting Pikachu, Xiaozhi secretly thought that after working as a handyman for Professor Oak for several years, he didn’t even earn a Quasi-God Baby! It made him angry just thinking about it. Was it because the Quasi-God Baby was too expensive to be the initial Pokémon, or was it because Professor Oak was reluctant to give it to him?
Xiaozhi would not blame the old man for this, because in the past ten years he had learned a lot from Professor Oak that were priceless in the outside world.
Overall, Xiaozhi definitely didn’t lose out!
If Professor Oak knew what Ash was thinking, he would definitely cry out for justice. He himself was planning to give Ash a young quasi-god as his starting Pokémon, but this kind of thing cannot be given openly. At least he had to wait until Ash participated in several league meetings and understood the importance of Pokémon before he could give it to him.
Otherwise, after a newcomer has a particularly powerful elf, it is easy for him to treat the elves in the team differently.
After obtaining the initial Pokémon, the hidden system in Xiaozhi’s body was finally unlocked. However, this system was ordinary and had no other functions except being able to recognize the Pokémon data of both parties.
Xiaozhi had no complaints about this. To him, something was better than nothing. Having a system was always better than having no system at all. A system that displayed Pokémon data would definitely be of great use in battle.
Let’s shift our focus back to the very beginning. This is when Ash embarked on his journey and wanted to build a good relationship with Pikachu, which annoyed Pikachu, causing it to become unhappy and shoot a 100,000-volt electric shock at the Spearow that was foraging for food.
Even though this Spearow was knocked down directly by Pikachu’s 100,000 Volts, it adhered to the rules of the Spearow tribe… Don’t be afraid to call for help when you encounter problems. No matter which area the Spearow tribe is in, they will always be your strongest backing.
After being chased by a group of Spearows, Ash and Pikachu looked at each other while running, blaming each other in their eyes, saying that all this was caused by you.
Xiaozhi has been exercising since he was a child, so thanks to this he didn’t feel tired at all. Instead, Pikachu, the electric mouse who had never exercised since he was a child, was the first to collapse.
This is no wonder. When Pikachu was still Pichu, it spent several years in the pouch of the Marmoset. Until not long ago, it found that the Marmoset was often sweating and unable to walk with it, and it was unwilling to rely on its parents, so it resolutely left the Marmoset and evolved into Pikachu when it set off.
“Hey, Pikachu, I think I might want to say sorry to you.”
Xiaozhi’s voice was filled with apology. Since he came to this world, he had never done anything wrong, so he had never apologized to anyone: “If I hadn’t wanted to quickly establish a good relationship with you, you might not have been angry and accidentally hit the Spearow, causing you to be chased by this group of Spearows because of me.”
At the same time, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain. At this time, Xiaozhi’s body also began to emit sky blue aura.
“Pikapi. (Xiaozhi, you don’t need to apologize to me.)”
Pikachu shook his head: “Pika! Pikachu! (In the final analysis, the reason why we were hunted by the Spearows was because of my eccentric personality! If I had been more obedient, more contented, and suppressed my nature and showed kindness to humans like other Pikachus, this kind of thing should have been avoided!)”
The rain was pouring down. Xiaozhi suddenly realized that he could understand Pikachu’s words. After a little thought, he understood what was happening: “No, Pikachu, I don’t need you to suppress your nature in front of me, you just need to be yourself!”
He said, “But now, will you climb onto my shoulders? I have a plan for these Spearows.”
While Xiaozhi was slowing down, Pikachu ran to Xiaozhi’s shoulder in the wind and rain, covered in wet mud, very unskillfully: “Pikapi! Pikachu? (Xiaozhi! Tell me what’s the solution?)”
Xiaozhi glanced at Pikachu on his left shoulder, then he smoothed his hair that was soaked by the rain and raised his head. His red eyes stared at the cloudy sky, and a confident smile gradually formed on his face: “Pikachu, do you see the dark clouds in the sky?”
“Pika! Pikachu? (I see! And then, Xiaozhi?)”
“Okay then!”
Xiaozhi nodded gently, his steady voice revealing the majesty of a king: “Use 100,000 volts to strike the dark clouds, explode the energy inside, and cause – thunder!”

The Journey of the Elves: Chapter 002 Awakening
Lightning like a thunder dragon fell down, and the group of firebirds were immediately paralyzed by the electric current, turning into black charcoal and falling to the ground like raindrops.
The remaining Spearows who were lucky enough not to be affected by the thunder, seeing their companions being defeated, had no intention of continuing to oppose Xiaozhi and the others, and fled in all directions.
Xiaozhi had no intention of continuing to chase the Spearow. Having just awakened the power of wave, he felt a little tired. Now he just wanted to quickly get to the Pokémon Center in Viridian City, get a room and have a good sleep.
Seeing the indignant look on Pikachu’s shoulder, Xiaozhi knew that it had not yet vented its anger, so he could only comfort it softly, “Okay, Spearow has a small brain capacity, don’t bother with them.”
After being comforted by Xiaozhi, Pikachu finally calmed down his anger. He licked Xiaozhi’s cheek and said aggrievedly: “Pika, Pika. (Xiaozhi, I’m very sorry this time. From now on, I will definitely listen to you obediently.)”
Xiaozhi would not get along with a Pokémon, especially his own original Pokémon. He touched Pikachu’s head and said, “You have to have your own ideas. Otherwise, if you encounter an emergency during the battle that I can’t react to, it will be difficult to deal with.”
“Pika…Pika?! (My own thoughts…Wait! Xiaozhi, do you understand what I’m saying?! Xiaozhi, aren’t you a human?)”
Pikachu didn’t react at first, and just tilted its head and responded subconsciously, but then it realized something was wrong.
Pikachu has come into contact with quite a few humans, but most people treat Pokémons according to their own ideas, just like parents treat their children.
Before Pikachu was given to Ash by Professor Oak, he had never seen or heard of the existence of humans in this world who could understand the language of elves.
If Xiaozhi told Pikachu that in addition to wave messengers, there are also psychics and other humans with special abilities who can understand the language of elves, Pikachu would probably doubt his life for a long time.
If you think about it carefully, there are quite a lot of special abilities in this world.
If we exclude the power of waves, supernatural powers, and humans who can understand the thoughts of elves… every hundred years in the Evergreen Forest in the Kanto region, a son of nature with evergreen power is born. In Johto and Unova, there are families with the power to ride dragons. In the Sinnoh region, there is an agent of the God of Creation who has inherited the power of super-control. Even in the distant Kalos region, there are humans who possess the power of creation and can use ninjutsu.
Today is different from the past. The genetic codes that record special abilities have become disorganized, and fewer and fewer people can awaken their own abilities.
This does not mean that it is a wrong choice for people with special abilities to mate with ordinary people and produce offspring. It just represents the continuation of the race.
Whenever a crisis comes, these genes hidden in the human body will always find ways to stimulate the host to awaken in order to pass on their own gene fragments. They will not completely disappear due to hybridization, which is the same as the survival instinct of living things.
The reason why Xiaozhi was able to awaken the power of wave was because he felt his life was threatened when facing a dense flock of Spearows.
Although the Spearow community is not very powerful in the entire elven world, the law that quantitative change leads to qualitative change is applicable in any world.
After all, a swarm of ants can kill an elephant.
“Pikachu, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course I am a human.” Xiaozhi looked at the Viridian City in the distance, “It’s just that when I was facing those Spearows just now, I awakened the legendary power of wave. Well, let’s stop talking nonsense and hurry to Viridian City.”
Evergreen City is a city located in the western part of the Kanto region.
There is a gym in this city. If you defeat the gym trainer here, you will get a green badge.
There is also a Trainer’s House in this city, where many senior trainers gather to exchange their experiences or compete with each other.
Xiaozhi kept on traveling, and finally arrived at Evergreen City after the sun set.
Although Xiaozhi encountered many Pokémon on the way to Viridian City, according to the data displayed by the system, the qualifications of these Pokémon were not very high. Even if he wanted to train them into the main force, it would take a long time, so the only Pokémon Xiaozhi has so far is Pikachu.
Just as Xiaozhi entered Viridian City and was about to go to the Pokémon Center, a woman in a police uniform and with long green hair appeared in front of him. It was Miss Kunsha.
Unlike the animation where the characters are drawn the same to save money, the appearances of Miss Junsha and Miss Joy in this world are different.
The only thing they have in common is that they are both good-looking, and have the same hairstyle, hair color, and eye color.
“Hello, please show me your ID!”
Miss Kunsha saw a Pikachu lying on Xiaozhi’s shoulder, and Xiaozhi’s body became a mess because of the Spearow, so she came over to ask Xiaozhi.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi took out the Pokémon Book from his pocket and pressed a button.
“This Pokémon Book is for Satoshi. Keep up the good work, my proud assistant. Also, this Pokémon Book cannot be reissued if it is stolen, so please be careful. Message from Professor Oak of Pallet Town.”
Xiaozhi picked out the message recorded by Professor Oak from the illustrated book and showed it directly to Miss Kunsha.
Junsha saw the portrait of Xiaozhi, the owner of the illustrated book, and immediately said, “Thank you for your cooperation! Because many Pokémon have been stolen in Viridian City recently, and you look… ahem, so I’m very sorry.”
Pikachu, who was lying on Xiaozhi’s shoulder, couldn’t stop laughing when he heard what Junsha said. He also stretched out his little paws and patted Xiaozhi’s face.
Xiaozhi was born with double eyelids, his eyes are slightly slanted, and his pupils are red, which is a rare sight. Moreover, he is quite tall among his peers, so it is natural that he is easily mistaken for a delinquent by the police.
Because of this, when he stares at someone expressionlessly, it gives people a bad feeling, or to put it bluntly…
That was an expression of extreme indifference.

Chapter 003 Elf Center (Old Version)
After arriving at the Pokémon Center, Xiaozhi registered with Miss Joy and walked into his room with the key.
The room looked a little empty, with only a bed and a bedside table, and no other furnishings.
Xiaozhi thought it was not bad. Trainers could enjoy discounts when they came to the Pokémon Center with their Pokémon Dictionaries. Staying in a room like this at a 50% discount was definitely good value for money.
When Xiaozhi has money in the future, maybe he won’t come to the Pokémon Center to stay overnight.
But now, Xiaozhi does not want to put too much financial burden on his mother Hanako. After all, Xiaozhi has no means of making money now, and relies on the living expenses sent by Hanako every month to travel.
If you want to change this situation, you have to train your Pokémon to be strong so that those big guys who specialize in investing in new trainers will take a fancy to you.
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi couldn’t help but smile at himself, lamenting the reality of this world: a penny can make a hero fall.
Lying on the bed, Xiaozhi looked at the information about Pikachu on the system panel.
Name: Pikachu
Gender: Male
Features: Electrostatic
Attribute: Electricity
Strength: Intermediate
Carry: None
Information: Born in the Kanto region, a very smart Pokémon destined to meet Ash, likes sour food, has great talent and unlimited potential.
Looking at the information in front of him, Xiaozhi was silent for a long time. Pikachu’s qualifications are that of a very good Pokémon in any aspect, but its race limits its development. Unless it can obtain a destiny-changing item like the Electric Ball in the future, its life will be like that.
Speaking of the electric ball, I don’t know if this thing is available on the black market. Anyway, when Xiaozhi was doing odd jobs for Professor Oak, he had never heard of it or seen any introduction about the electric ball.
Even if someone is selling electric balls on the black market, you still need money to buy them. If you don’t have money, those unscrupulous merchants won’t even look at you.
However, there are ways to make money quickly. I remember the kidnapping case Miss Junsha mentioned. If I remember correctly, it was probably the Rocket Trio in the original work.
Although Xiaozhi didn’t think that the three funny characters could pose a threat to him, the problem was that they were like a dog-skin plaster that couldn’t be shaken off, and who knew when he would be defeated by them.
Since Xiaozhi has already used his money-making methods on the Rocket trio, it also means that Xiaozhi is ready to be harassed by them.
But before that, Pikachu has to learn how to use electromagnetic waves to prevent the Rocket team from escaping due to explosions or other factors.
“Wake up, Pikachu.”
Xiaozhi woke up Pikachu who had just fallen asleep, but who knew that the little guy was so grumpy. After being woken up, he immediately gave Xiaozhi an electric shock, but the power was controlled very low.
“Pikapi, Pika? (Ash, is there something wrong?)” Pikachu yawned and rubbed his eyes sleepily.
“Of course, and it’s a big deal.”
Xiaozhi stroked Pikachu’s fur and said, “The Pokémon Center might be robbed later. To prevent this from happening, I want to know, Pikachu, do you have electromagnetic waves that can paralyze people?”
“Pikapi, Pikachu. (Xiaozhi, you underestimate me. I can even learn moves like 100,000 volt thunder, not to mention the electromagnetic wave that every electric-attribute Pokémon can learn.)”
Xiaozhi looked at Pikachu, who was confident with his arms crossed, and patted its head gently: “Well, Pikachu, as long as you can help me catch those idiots, I will buy you ketchup as a reward.”
After saying that, Xiaozhi began to close his eyes and rest, but at this moment he suddenly realized one thing, that is, because of the different route he took, he missed the meeting with Xiaoxia, but Xiaozhi quickly put this matter behind him.
Xiaozhi has no interest in girls with violent personalities, so it’s naturally impossible for him to go looking for her on purpose. What Xiaozhi needs is a good wife who can help him deal with chores.
Crash——
With the sound of glass breaking outside the Pokémon Center, Xiaozhi knew that it was time for him to take action. He stood up and said, “Pikachu, let’s go!”
After hearing Xiaozhi’s voice, Pikachu quickly ran to Xiaozhi’s shoulder. Although he was still not very proficient in the whole process, it was much more efficient than when facing Spearow before.
Elf Center, lobby.
The originally bright hall was now filled with thick smoke. It was obvious that someone had ordered the elves to release a smoke screen. However, judging from the strong smell of gas in the air, it seemed that the elves that released the smoke screen were probably gas bombs.
“Hehe, we’ve snatched so many Pokémon this time. After handing them over to the organization, we should be able to get a promotion, right?” Kojiro looked at the sack full of Poké Balls in his hand, his face filled with longing for a better life in the future.
“That’s right, promotion and wealth are guaranteed!” Musashi took the Poké Ball handed to him by Arbok and put it in the sack.
“Are you okay, meow? Musashi Kojiro, let’s retreat quickly, meow, otherwise we won’t be able to escape when those policemen come, meow.” Meow Meow was controlling the hot air balloon, worried that something unexpected would happen.
“That’s right.” Kojiro nodded, then he carried the sack on his back and walked towards the hot air balloon. Looking at Musashi who was still carrying the Poké Ball, he reminded him, “Musashi, let’s retreat quickly.”
“Wait, let’s take away the elf of that little brat in front first.”
Musashi pointed at Xiaozhi and Pikachu who had come here, and shouted: “Little brats, hand over your Pokémon to us obediently! Otherwise, hehe, you will be beaten to death!”
“Did you hear that? Little brat, don’t be ungrateful!” Kojiro shouted arrogantly.
Looking at the mysteriously confident trio, Xiaozhi helplessly slapped his forehead with his hand, and then shouted loudly under their puzzled gazes: “Pikachu, 100,000 volts!”
“Pika-chu!”
Upon receiving the order, Pikachu immediately used the maximum power of 100,000 volts on them, and at the same time mixed in electromagnetic waves that could paralyze people.
“Ahhhhh!!! It’s so numb, so numb, so numb!”*3
The trio was electrocuted by Pikachu and black smoke was coming out of them. Xiaozhi took this opportunity to take out the rope he had prepared long ago and tied them up.
Looking at the police rushing towards the Pokémon Center in the distance, Xiaozhi smiled faintly. The bounty for these idiots must be very high, at least 100,000 Alliance Coins.
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 004 Evergreen Forest (old version)
After the three members of Team Rocket were sent to the police car, Miss Junsha also gave Xiaozhi a bounty. Just as Xiaozhi had expected, the bounty for these idiots was exactly 100,000 Alliance Coins.
Xiaozhi looked at the card with 100,000 Alliance Coins suddenly in his hand. Although he was extremely happy in his heart, he was not overwhelmed by the money.
Even though it may take an ordinary person two or three years to earn this amount of money, for a trainer who trains Pokémon, it may not be as much as the annual expenditure of a king-level Pokémon in the team.
Fortunately, Satoshi came from Pallet Town, so he could place the Pokémon in Professor Oak’s backyard, and Professor Oak could help him raise the Pokémon on the pretext of investigating Pokémon data.
However, Xiaozhi is not shameless enough to ask Professor Oak to raise the Pokémon for him for the rest of his life. He may let Professor Oak raise the Pokémon now, and when he becomes strong enough to become a civil servant of the Alliance in the future, he will take the Pokémon and raise it himself.
After becoming a civil servant of the Alliance, the Alliance will reimburse part of the expenses for the elves under the civil servant. If you are a superstar or a champion, the training costs of all the elves in their team will be fully reimbursed.
Otherwise, how can the Alliance make its people serve it? Is it just based on the justice in their hearts? A sense of justice cannot be eaten…
This is also the reason why so many people join villain organizations like Team Rocket. Apart from those middle school students who have been brainwashed because of their youth and think joining a villain organization is cool, most of them are people who become trainers but have achieved nothing and do not want to abandon their Pokémon but do not know how to make a living elsewhere.
Xiaozhi hurried to the store. After getting the money, his first goal was to quickly exchange the money for supplies. After becoming a trainer, supplies are indispensable for training Pokémon.
The main purchasing targets are various wound medicines, insect repellent sprays, and tree fruits.
Tree berries are necessary for making energy blocks, and energy blocks are of great benefit to the skill power, growth and development, and beauty of the elves, but they are also very expensive.
Xiaozhi can’t afford energy cubes, but he used to do odd jobs for Professor Oak, who, in recognition of his hard work, gave him a machine that can make energy cubes.
The machine for making energy cubes, whose full name is Fruit Mixer, has always been priced high in the market. The most advanced instrument costs at least 150,000 Alliance coins.
150,000 Alliance Coins is a sky-high price for Satoshi, but for Professor Oak, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket at best.
After all, Dr. Oak’s academic achievements are at the top level, and the research funds allocated by the alliance every year have countless zeros behind them.
Money was spent like water. Before Xiaozhi could even warm up the money he had just obtained, most of it had been spent by him.
Looking at the remaining amount in the bank card, Xiaozhi decided to keep some and transfer the rest to his mother Hanako. In addition to showing his filial piety, Xiaozhi felt that it was too embarrassing to let Hanako support him on his trip.
From a legal perspective, Xiaozhi is now an adult with legal capacity and should be able to support himself.
By the time all these things were done, it was already early the next morning. After Ash had a quick breakfast at the Pokemon Center, he took Pikachu into the Evergreen Forest.
The Evergreen Forest, located in the north of Evergreen City and connected to the Dark Gray City, is a paradise for insect-attribute elves and flying-attribute elves.
The densely packed trees of various kinds form a natural maze, and many people have gotten lost in it. The densely lush trees make it difficult for light to penetrate, and the entire forest appears somewhat dim.
Because of this, the most common Pokémon in the forest are Bug and Flying Pokémon, so before entering the forest, trainers should prepare some antidotes and antidotes in advance.
As for why Xiaozhi came to this forest, besides the fact that it was the only way to Pewter City, he also wanted to capture Pokémon here and expand his team.
He has already chosen his targets: Caterpillar, which can evolve into Butterfree, and Pidgeot, which can evolve into Pidgeot.
The next one to face is the Dark Gray Gym, which is a gym dominated by rock attributes.
Although Xiaozhi can imitate the opportunistic way of winning in the original work, he still wants to win by strength. Moreover, he will not force his Pikachu, which is still at the intermediate level, to risk his life to win against the elite-level Onix.
It is still unrealistic for Pikachu to win in a battle against reverse attributes.
But it’s different for Eaglehawk and Butterfree. The former can be MEGA evolved after Ash obtains the Key Stone and the MEGA Evolution Stone in the future, and the latter can be Gigantamaxed after Ash travels to the Galar region in the future.
Gigantamaxing is a special kind of gigantic phenomenon, and only specific individuals can undergo Gigantamaxing.
After the Super Gigantamax, the Pokémon will not only become larger, but also more distinctive. In addition to increasing their HP like normal Gigantamax Pokémon, their Gigantamax moves with specific attributes will also be transformed into Super Gigantamax moves with different additional effects.
But these are all things for the future. Looking at these two Pokémon now, Pidgeot has an advantage in battle because he can fly, while Butterfree can hypnotize his opponents to win.
The quality of soldiers is more important than their quantity. Xiaozhi has always been half in favor of and half against this point.
You know, in modern times, the Celestial Empire has a history of defeating the elite troops of invaders at the cost of countless lives.
If there are too few elves, who knows when he will be exhausted to death by the villains who want to kill him.
Therefore, it is always good to catch more Pokémon, and at the conference, people will not be able to guess what team and tactics you will use. However, catching more Pokémon will only be done in the Kanto region, and the number will be controlled when the team is saturated in the future.
When Xiaozhi was walking in the Evergreen Forest looking for his target, a green caterpillar caught his attention. Then, when he looked at the green caterpillar, a lot of information appeared in his vision –
Name: Green Caterpillar
Features: Escape
Attribute: Insect
Strength: Low
Information: Born in the Evergreen Forest, he is the child of the leader of the Butterfree tribe and also the first Pokémon captured by Satoshi in the original work. He likes sweet food, has high talent, and has the potential to be a quasi-king level.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 005 Gambling (Old Version)
“Is the potential at the Quasi-King level…”
Xiaozhi muttered the information on the data panel. To be honest, the data of the green caterpillar in front of him was not good, but it had the potential to reach the quasi-king level, which was one of the best among all the bug-attribute Pokémon living in the Evergreen Forest.
Even if Xiaozhi captured it, the Caterpillar that eventually evolved into Butterfree would never be able to become the main force of the team. Instead, it would slowly be relegated to the third-tier team as Xiaozhi’s team gradually became saturated.
Xiaozhi thought for a long time, looked at the Pikachu on his shoulder, whose strength was only intermediate, and finally decided to capture it.
Butterfree is just a Pokémon that helps Ash move from a novice to a quasi-prototype. Once Ash becomes stronger, Butterfree can retire and enjoy his retirement.
I feel really sorry for Butterfree, but all those superstars and champions went through this.
Before becoming the king or champion, they had traveled to many areas, and the number of elves on them had more or less reached three digits, but only a few of them became the main force in the end.
For example, the champion of the Hoenn region, Daigo Tsushima, captured dozens of Kokodoras in order to cultivate an Aboskodora. However, the Aboskodora, which had the potential to be a king, was not among these Kokodoras. He was encountered by chance during a stone excavation.
As for those Kokodoras, Daigo did not release them, but trained them into working Pokémon to find various evolution stones.
Being a trainer is not just about making Pokémon powerful, you also need to know how to train Pokémon to be able to deal with various situations.
Pokémon are not ordinary animals. Some of them have an IQ even higher than that of humans. If you want to train them into jobs, in addition to the trainer’s own strength to make them submit, various professional knowledge is also required.
At this moment, the crawling green caterpillar was suddenly attacked by a Pidgeot, which seemed to want to eat it.
Name: Pidgeot
Features: Sharp eyes
Attributes: General, Flying
Information: Born in Evergreen Forest, he is extremely loyal. After being captured, he will concentrate on executing every order given by the trainer, even if he knows that it will hurt himself. He has average talent and potential at the king level.
“Pikachu, guess who is the winner of this battle?” Xiaozhi said this for no reason, leaving Pikachu a little confused.
“Pika, Pikapi? (Of course it’s Pidgeot. Can’t you see this obvious thing, Ash?)” Pikachu felt that his trainer was asking nonsense. Even a fool could see this.
“That’s not necessarily true.”
Xiaozhi shook his head in a pretentious manner: “If I say that the final winner is Caterpillar, will you believe it, Pikachu?”
“Pikachu. (Of course I don’t believe it.)” Pikachu thought Xiaozhi was lying to him, but he was also wondering in his heart, could it be that this green caterpillar has some kind of ultimate move to turn defeat into victory? But he didn’t see it either.
“Well, Pikachu, make a bet with me.” Xiaozhi put the Pikachu on his shoulder on the ground, looked directly into its eyes, and said so.
“Pika? (What’s the bet?)” Pikachu answered subconsciously. He didn’t know what he would have to pawn to Xiaozhi if he lost the bet. Would he expose his belly for him to touch?
Pikachu felt that someone as cold and arrogant as Ash would never let it do such a thing, but it would most likely double its training.
However, it turned out that Pikachu still underestimated Xiaozhi’s bottom line. He said: “If you lose, Pikachu, you have to show me your belly and let me touch it. In addition, you have to double the amount of training.”
“Pikapi… (What if you lose, Xiaozhi…)”
Before Pikachu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xiaozhi. His red eyes revealed a cold light that frightened Pikachu: “First of all, Pikachu, you have to know that I will not lose any battle or bet, and I cannot lose!”
Perhaps because he felt that he had spoken too seriously, Xiaozhi changed his somewhat cold tone: “Even if I really lose, Pikachu, your training volume will remain the same, but the food you eat every day will become more abundant.”
The reason why Xiaozhi said this is because he wants to emulate Red and Dantei. The former is the first generation protagonist in the game who destroyed Team Rocket single-handedly and became the champion of the League Headquarters, and the latter is the strongest king who debuted at the age of ten and became the champion of the Galar region and has never been defeated.
There is no Scarlet in this world, but there is his allotrope, a being named Satoshi.
As for the strongest champion, Dan Di, Xiaozhi watched the live broadcast of Dan Di’s ascent to the top on TV a year ago. He was a genuine ten-year-old champion.
Judging from talent, Xiaozhi is naturally not as good as the other two, but Xiaozhi will not just lie down and do nothing. He wants to gradually narrow the gap in his own way and truly defeat the opponent on the battlefield one day.
Seeing the Caterpillar about to lose, Xiaozhi walked behind the Caterpillar and gave an order: “Caterpillar, use Silk Spin on the branch.”
Although Caterpillar is not Ash’s Pokémon, considering the current situation, it has no choice but to choose to trust this strange trainer who is giving it orders.
The silk hit the branch accurately, and the caterpillar’s entire body was carried by the silk and flew out directly.
Pidgeot chased the Caterpillar in the air, but the Caterpillar was swinging around in the woods like Spider-Man, and Pidgeot was completely unable to attack it.
Moreover, the impatient Pidgeot did not notice that as the caterpillar continued to swing back and forth, the silk threads above the woods had become as dense as a big net.
At this moment, just as the Pidgeot was about to use Lightning Flash, its wings were suddenly stuck by the silk thread and it could not move.
“Swing out and give it the final blow!”
The Caterpillar swung its body towards the Pidgeot, using the force of the swing to deliver its strongest impact!
The Pidgeot was hit hard on the tree and fell down helplessly…
Chapter 006: First Battle (Old Version)
Night, Evergreen Forest.
The Pidgeot woke up and was wondering how he had fainted. He suddenly remembered that his wings were stuck by silk threads, and his prey, the caterpillar, had swung over with the help of silk and hit him, knocking him against the tree trunk.
Damn, if that trainer who came out of nowhere hadn’t commanded the Caterpillar to counterattack it, the Caterpillar would have been in my pocket long ago!
“Are you awake?” Just as the Pidgeot was venting its anger, it suddenly heard such a voice.
Pidgeot looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person greeting it was a black-haired boy. He was sitting by a campfire, cooking soup and putting food into the pot from time to time. Pikachu and a familiar-looking Metapod sat around him.
When Pikachu saw it wake up, he hurried over and patted it on the shoulder, saying things like, “Little brother, we have become companions. You must respect me, your big brother, in the future.”
“The battle was successful, you are now my Pokémon.” Xiaozhi scooped a bowl of soup with a spoon and placed the bowl in front of Pidgeot.
Pidgeot was attracted by the aroma of the soup, lowered its head and subconsciously drank a sip of the soup. However, at this moment, it suddenly realized the meaning of Xiaozhi’s words, that it had been conquered by humans!
Thinking of this, the Pidgeot immediately became panicked, but the delicious taste of the soup on its tongue calmed it down.
It seems that being conquered by humans is not such a bad thing.
Apart from fighting for humanity, at least he wouldn’t have to worry about food anymore, and he wouldn’t live in such fear every day.
Just when Xiaozhi wanted to build a good relationship with Pidgeot, the feedback from Bird told him that someone seemed to be targeting him, and was holding an unsharpened samurai sword in his hand.
“Drink ahhhh!”
With a loud shout, the warrior boy suddenly jumped out of the bushes and pounced towards Xiaozhi with great momentum.
Xiaozhi looked calm. He just leaned his body slightly to the side, easily avoiding the samurai sword that was coming towards his shoulder, and then used an elbow attack on the samurai boy.
The abdomen is a vulnerable area. In addition, Xiaozhi has been exercising for many years and has learned various fighting skills. The warrior boy immediately squatted down, holding his stomach, and his face looked very uncomfortable.
Xiaozhi did not feel any sympathy for the samurai boy because of this. He asked with an unhappy look on his face: “Why did you sneak attack me?”
“You are a trainer from Pallet Town, right? I was defeated three times in a row by people from your town. A man named Xiao Mao said that with my strength, it would be better for me to study hard in school instead of becoming a trainer. I couldn’t stand his humiliation, so I wanted to avenge myself on you!” The warrior boy took out a Poké Ball, “Please, please have a Pokémon battle with me! I want to know how strong I am!”
Seeing the expression on the warrior boy’s face that he would not give up easily unless he fought him, Xiaozhi knew that this battle was inevitable, and could only secretly say: “Forget it, I accept your challenge, Pidgeot, now is the time to prove your strength.”
“Beat!”
Hearing Xiaozhi’s call, Pidgeot flapped its wings and flew to the battle field, looking eager to try. After all, this was its first battle after being captured, and Pidgeot couldn’t wait to prove itself.
“The opponent is a flying elf, be careful, Kairos!” The warrior boy’s expression became serious and he sent out his elf.
Kairos is a bug-type Pokémon favored by trainers. Although it looks scary, its racial stats are comparable to Heracross from the Johto region, and in terms of strength, it can even compete with Heracross.
“Kairos, use the Scissor move!”
After receiving the order from the warrior boy, Kairos habitually clamped the two big horns on his head hard a few times, which made a few crisp sounds and seemed like he was showing off his power.
After warming up, Kairos looked at the Pidgeot standing on the ground and rushed over with all his strength.
“Get out of the way!”
After receiving the order, Pidgeot flew up quickly. Kairos missed its target and crashed into a big tree. The tree couldn’t withstand Kairos’s force and fell down.
“See? This is Kairos that I carefully cultivated. His strength is extraordinary!” said the young warrior proudly.
Xiaozhi ignored the warrior boy. He looked at the trees that Kairos kept hitting and shouted to the Pidgeot flying in the air, “Dive down and use wing attacks on Kairos.”
The Pidgeot rushed down from the sky, its wings condensed with the energy of flying, carrying an unstoppable airflow, and it knocked Kairos away.
Kairos itself is a bug-attribute Pokémon, and flying-attribute moves were extremely effective when used on it, almost knocking it down. However, Kairos managed to stand firm in the end.
“Kaylos, the bird on the other side is just a common Pidgeot on the roadside. Show your dignity as a bug-attribute elf.” The warrior boy encouraged.
“No matter how weak a bird is, it can still be the nemesis of a bug-type Pokémon.” Xiaozhi sneered at the words of the warrior boy, “Pidgeot, attack with your wings continuously, and defeat the beetle on the opposite side!”
The continuous and tidal attacks from the Pidgeot left Kairos with no way to fight back. The warrior boy looked at Kairos’ miserable appearance and covered his heart as if he could empathize with him. It was simply too ugly to be suppressed by the opponent.
Xiaozhi saw the wounded Kairos and seemed to be a little tired of playing with him, so he shouted to the angry Pidgeot: “Pidgeot, use Air Slash to kill Kairos.”
Pidgeot flapped its wings and released an air blade, but Kairos was hit by the air slash that could even split the sky, and lost his ability to fight on the spot.
“Kairos! Are you okay?” The warrior boy hurried to check on Kairos.
“Kuaiya.” Kairos responded weakly. The pain from the battle made it unable to move. Fortunately, the wound was not serious and it would heal after a week of rest.
“Well done.” Xiaozhi took the Pidgeot back and turned to leave.
Chapter 007 Dark Gray Gym (Old Version)
Two weeks had passed since he captured Pidgeot and Metapod, and Ash finally walked out of the Evergreen Forest, which was like a maze, and came to Pitch Black City. During this time, the Metapod in Ash’s hand also evolved into Butterfree.
Pitch Gray City is a famous stone city in the entire Kanto region. The main tone of the entire city is the gray color of rock. Before Xiaozhi had time to walk towards the Pokémon Center in Pitch Gray City, he was stopped by an unfamiliar male voice halfway.
“Hey, the guy with the Pikachu in front, don’t miss it if you pass by, buy a stone from me!”
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a middle-aged man sitting on a large rock with his head down.
“Stones? Uncle, I don’t like what you’re selling. If it were stones that could help elves improve their strength, I might buy a few, but all you’re selling here are stones for pickling vegetables.”
Xiaozhi only glanced at the stones on the stall and immediately lost interest. The price of these stones was comparable to precious metals, but the goods were of poor quality and the price was high. Xiaozhi felt that a stone he picked up in the wild would be better than the ones he was selling.
Therefore, this stall owner is most likely a liar. It is recommended that the police or the urban management brigade take action and bring him to justice immediately.
“Outsiders really don’t know what’s good. It’s a pity to waste my good stones for pickling vegetables.” The middle-aged man’s voice was filled with regret, but he raised his voice and asked, “By the way, you are a trainer, right? Will you challenge the gym in Deep Gray City next?”
“Of course, I have already signed up for the Quartz Conference held by the Kanto Alliance this year, and I am determined to get the gym badge ranked first in the Kanto region.” Xiaozhi nodded gently, with a hint of confidence in his tone.
There are 18 gyms in each region, but they are divided into the first and second armies. Only the 8 gyms in the first army are official gyms. This may not be quite accurate…
However, the subsidies that the alliance gives to the first-army gym every year are indeed much greater than those given to the second-army gym.
“Really? The gym leader of the Dark Gray Gym is very strong, so don’t be careless, young man.” The middle-aged man reminded Xiaozhi. He has seen many trainers who lost confidence due to repeated failures in challenging gyms. In the end, all of them became ordinary office workers without exception.
After thanking the middle-aged man, Xiaozhi walked towards the Pokémon Center in Pewter City. Although Pikachu and the others looked refreshed and did not need any treatment at all, it was always a good idea to take the Pokémon to Miss Joy for a check-up from time to time, so as to prevent the Pokémon from losing in battle due to physical discomfort.
After receiving treatment at the Pokémon Center, Xiaozhi has now arrived at the first stop of his journey to challenge the gym. His heart is as calm as a lake at this moment, without any feeling of nervousness.
Xiaozhi pushed the door open and walked in. He found that the whole gym seemed a little dark, so he shouted, “Excuse me, is the gym leader Xiaogang here? I am Xiaozhi from Pallet Town, and I am here to challenge the gym.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the gym suddenly lit up, and on a platform not far away, a young man with dark skin and narrowed eyes sat cross-legged.
“Oh, are you also a challenger from Pallet Town? Then, in the 2V2 challenge, challengers can change their Pokémon freely. Do you have any objection?”
“no comment.”
Seeing Xiaozhi’s straightforward answer, Xiaogang immediately jumped off the platform. At the same time, the walls on both sides slowly opened, eventually forming a battle field covered with rocks.
“First up is this, Geodude.”
“Pidgeot, prove your strength.” Xiaozhi originally planned to send out Butterfree, but after seeing that the opponent was Geodude, he sent Pidgeot, whose attributes were somewhat disadvantageous, into the field.
“Fistful of Rocks, use Rockfall!”
Hearing the trainer’s command, Geodude kept adjusting the position of his hands towards the flying Pidgeot, as if he was aiming at it, but Pidgeot kept changing positions, making it impossible for him to do so.
Seeing Pidgeot making provocative gestures towards it, Geodude couldn’t help but become impatient.
“Lightning speeds up, then steel wings.”
Following Ash’s command, Pidgeot rushed behind Geodude and then lashed out at Geodude with its wings flashing white light, stunning Geodude who was gathering energy.
“Geoblast, don’t panic, use the rolling trick!”
After receiving the command, Fistulse immediately hugged its body with both hands and began to roll, raising a layer of light dust on the rocky ground.
Looking at the small rock rolling on the ground, Pidgeot flapped its wings in the air, not knowing what to do for a moment. Fortunately, at this time, Xiaozhi sent an order: “Pidgeot, use Steel Wings to blow this stone away.”
Pidgeot did as it was told and rushed towards the rolling Geodude. Its fully tempered wings hit Geodude without reservation. The huge force directly swung Geodude into the air, and it lost its combat ability on the spot.
“Geoblast, come back.”
After Brock took back the Geodude, he said to Satoshi, “The trainer from Pallet Town is indeed not to be underestimated. But your Pidgeot is exhausted now. It can’t beat the next Pokémon I’m sending out.”
Looking at the nearly ten-meter-long Onix in front of him, Xiaozhi nodded and took back Pidgeot: “You are right, so I plan to send it into the game.”
“(Barbuteo, use hypnotic powder.)” After throwing the Poké Ball, Xiaozhi secretly used the wave guide to issue orders.
“What? Onix, why did you fall asleep?” Xiaogang looked at Onix who suddenly fell asleep and guessed, “Before the battle started, did you discuss with Butterfree about using the hypnotic powder after the battle?”
“That’s right, but not entirely.”
Xiaozhi did not intend to correct his mistake. The fewer people who knew that he possessed the power of wave, the better: “Butterfield, use Silk Spin.”
Following the order, Butterfree spit out an extremely strong white silk thread towards Onix that was snoring like thunder.
Under normal circumstances, Onix would be able to break free from the silk thread directly, and then use Rockslide to make Butterfree, who used this auxiliary move, lose its combat ability on the spot. However, now, the sleeping Onix can only let Butterfree manipulate it.
Looking at Onix with white silk wrapped around its body, Xiaogang was anxious and could only hope that Onix would suddenly wake up, but Xiaozhi would not let him get his wish.
“Badaidie, insect chirp!”
Chapter 008: An unexpected incident at Yuejian Mountain (old version)
“This is the Gray Badge. It was a very exciting battle. Both Pidgeot and Butterfree were very powerful, which is enough to prove that you have carefully trained them.”
After the battle, Gon walked up to Ash and handed him his badge.
Xiaozhi put the grey badge in a box. It was a trophy he had worked so hard to obtain, so it was only right and proper for him to keep it well.
“Thank you. I hope we can fight without reservation next time.”
Xiaozhi’s words were not just a compliment, Xiaogang really did not show his true strength, and overall he was mostly letting the opponent win in this battle.
The gym leaders’ Pokémon are not fixed. They adjust their Pokémon according to the strength of the challenger. When the opponent is a rookie trainer, they will use low-level Pokémon. If the opponent is a higher-level trainer, they will use higher-level Pokémon.
“Xiaozhi, you are going to Cerulean City next to challenge the gym there, right? Do you plan to walk or take public transportation?”
“Of course we walked.” Xiaozhi looked at Xiaogang who was hesitant to speak, and felt it was a bit strange, so he asked: “Could it be that something happened in Yuejian Mountain that connects Deep Gray City and Cerulean City?”
“You really guessed it right, Xiaozhi.” Xiaogang nodded, “I heard that there are signs of Team Rocket activities in Yuejian Mountain. Be careful.”
“Well, I’ll pay attention.”
Mt. Tsukimi is a famous mountain in the Kanto region, located between the cities of Deep Gray and Cerulean.
Mt. Tsukimi is difficult to climb, and most travelers travel between Deep Gray City and Cerulean City through caves.
Mt. Tsukimi is famous for its wild kelps and frequent meteor showers. Meteorites that fall here become precious moon stones, and fossils may also be dug up here.
After leaving the Dark Gray Gym, Xiaozhi rested for a night in the Pokémon Center. As for the news that Team Rocket appeared in Mt. Moon, Xiaozhi felt a headache just thinking about it. Those were the real Team Rocket, not funny characters like the Team Rocket trio.
Having said that, as long as there are no Rocket Team leaders whose strength is not inferior to the Four Heavenly Masters, Xiaozhi can still deal with those Rocket Team minions, it’s just a little troublesome.
After thinking it over, Xiaozhi felt that he should go to Mount Tsukimi. He was almost using up the bounty he earned in Viridian City, and the Rocket Team that appeared in Mount Tsukimi was a big fish.
The trainer’s main source of money is to take on tasks at the Pokémon Center, including finding things, purchasing Pokémon, and many other tasks.
There is also another source of money, which is the ranking in the competition. The higher the ranking in the competition, the higher the level of the trainer will be, and the more salary will be obtained each year.
No matter which league you are in, as long as you get into the top 16 in the tournament you can become a high-level trainer. To become an elite trainer you not only need to get into the top 4, but you also need to be certified by the league.
Above that is the quasi-elite trainer, a level that only the winner of the tournament can achieve.
This doesn’t mean that if you become the champion of the tournament you will have the strength of a quasi-king, but that those who become the champions of the tournament are usually those who have the strength of a king or a quasi-king.
After that are the Four Heavenly Kings. There are only four Four Heavenly Kings in each region. Even if you have the strength of a Heavenly King, you cannot become one of the Four Heavenly Kings if you do not defeat the current Four Heavenly Kings.
Above the Four Heavenly Kings is the Champion!
The champion is a strong man who is superior to the Four Heavenly Kings. Only by defeating the four heavenly kings, or among the four heavenly kings, one of the kings defeats the other three, can one become a champion.
Kanto and Johto regions are two closely connected continents. The two alliances are inseparable. Their bases are located on the Quartz Plateau, which is the headquarters of the Elf Alliance, and they share a group of Four Heavenly Kings.
This is not because the two regions cannot even gather eight Elite-level trainers, but doing so will cause the regions that have been hard to complete to split.
After a night’s rest, Xiaozhi bought some berries for making energy blocks in the store, then looked at the mission board of the Pokémon Center and found that the mission to capture Team Rocket at Mt. Moon was indeed logged on it, so he set off for Mt. Moon.
Not long after entering Mount Tsukimi, a huge explosion was heard from the cave inside. Xiaozhi immediately activated the wave guide and sensed that there seemed to be a young man with Dragonite fighting with a group of trainers emitting malicious waves inside Mount Tsukimi.
This sudden incident aroused Xiaozhi’s interest. The group of trainers emitting malicious waves were undoubtedly Team Rocket. Xiaozhi didn’t mind that he would benefit from the conflict between the two.
However, Team Rocket is closer to Ash, which means he can sneak up behind them and launch a sneak attack when they are off guard.
Xiaozhi did as he said. He carefully came to the cave that led to the battlefield between the two sides. Peeping inside, he could see electric sparks constantly splashing in the dark cave, and human figures were looming in the smoke.
The young man who fought with Team Rocket, the Pokémon he released all had the strength of a king, especially the Dragonite whose strength was shown to have reached the peak of the championship according to the system data panel. It was definitely the ace Pokémon of this young man.
There are only a handful of trainers in this world whose Pokémon strength is at the king level, and Dragonite’s reaching the champion level indirectly proves the identity of the visitor. This person is none other than Ryuujitsu, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance Headquarters.
Yulongdu’s face was not very good at this moment. This group of Team Rocket elites in black uniforms were about to drain the energy of all his Pokémons except Dragonite.
This is no wonder, as there are more than 100 of these Team Rocket elites, and each of their Pokémon possesses quasi-king-level strength.
Although the elves of Yulongdu have been fighting against a hundred enemies alone in the past few hours, they are outnumbered. The remaining dozens of quasi-king-level elves in full condition are enough to kill his champion-level Dragonite, whose physical strength is close to that of a candle in the wind.
Unless the alliance’s reinforcements can arrive before his elves lose their ability to fight, or unless an elf in the team can break through the shackles and reach the champion level, he, the dragon-attributed king, will die here.
Chapter 009 What is a real trainer (old version)
Xiaozhi knew something about Yulongdu. He was an upright, kind, selfless person who extremely hated evil elements. In order to fight against crime, he passed layers of assessments and became the leader of the Johto Investigation Bureau.
In general, he is a person who puts the safety of people’s lives first and loves elves very much.
Although Yulongdu had no connection with Xiaozhi, the righteous aura emanating from him made Xiaozhi feel that this man should not die here.
Having said that, Xiaozhi is not strong enough now, and it will be useless even if he rushes forward, unless he uses other means to make these Rocket Team elites lose consciousness. Without the command of the trainer, these quasi-Elite level Pokémon are just a bunch of useless people who have power but don’t know how to use it.
So, what moves can be used to make the other person lose consciousness?
After only a moment’s thought, Xiaozhi locked on the skills of hypnotic powder, paralysis powder, and electromagnetic waves. However, Butterfree and Pikachu alone might not be enough to make all of them fall into the trap.
Xiaozhi looked around and suddenly saw a Paras that had just emerged from the ground. This insect-type Pokémon, which was carrying two parasitic mushrooms, had just emerged from the ground and saw Xiaozhi.
“Pylas, I need the help of your people.”
Xiaozhi used the power of waves to ask for help from the Paras in front of him. After all, there is strength in numbers and when everyone adds fuel to the fire, there are at least tens of thousands of Paras in Yuejian Mountain.
“Pyra? (Human? Are you talking to me? Why should I help you?)”
This wild Paras was obviously wary of humans and didn’t want to pay attention to Xiaozhi’s request. After coming to its senses, it wanted to return to the land again.
“I have an exchange. This is an energy cube. It is very nutritious and is a great supplement for elves. If it doesn’t suit the taste of your Paras clan, I can make another one.”
Xiaozhi gently pushed the energy block that Butterfree liked to eat in front of Paras, showing enough sincerity.
“Pyla? Pyla Pyla. (Energy cube? It tastes pretty good. Human, please wait here. Let’s go find the leader of our tribe. If I don’t come back in half an hour, it means the negotiation has failed.)”
“Pylas, remember to tell your clan leader that I don’t need you to participate in the battle in person. You just need to use skills such as hypnotic powder and paralysis powder on the hole in front of you where the explosion sounds are constantly coming from.”
“Pyra. (I’ll do the work, you can just leave it to me, humans.)”
Paras patted his chest with his front paws, then burrowed into the ground and headed for the tribe’s location at the fastest speed in his life.
“King Dutian, I’m afraid you will die here today. Our Rocket Team will be able to operate more smoothly in the Kanto region in the future.”
The captain of Team Rocket, who led the elite team, smugly mocked Ryudu. This time they came to Moon Viewing Mountain to dig for the ore necessary for cloning Pokémons. Who could have thought that they would actually meet Ryudu, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, here.
It was thanks to him that he made a prompt decision and led the elite team to besiege Yulongdu. Even if he was the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, it would be impossible for him to withstand the attack of thousands of quasi-king-level elves with only five king-level elves and a champion-level Dragonite. With a flying dragon on his face, how can you tell me how to lose?
“Humph, before I die, I will definitely take you bastards to hell.”
Yu Longdu looked at them with disdain. He was an investigator, a person who could die accidentally at any time, and a person who would always carry the fate of everyone on his shoulders.
Since he couldn’t sit idly by and do nothing about the vicious people who were endangering social security, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil-doings from the very beginning-
In fact, from that time on, he had already decided how his life would be like.
“Haha, I hope that King Du can still be so stubborn even when you are defeated.” The captain of Team Rocket said disapprovingly. In his opinion, it is only a matter of time before Yulongdu is defeated.
The captain of Team Rocket was so happy just thinking about catching Yulongdu and bringing him to Sakaki…
It won’t be long before I get a promotion and a raise, become the general manager, the CEO, marry a beautiful and rich woman, and reach the peak of my life. I feel a little excited just thinking about it.
The elves of Team Rocket launched a tidal wave of attacks against the elves of Team Yulongdu. Although the elves of Team Yulongdu could fight against a hundred at a time, after such a long time, the elves’ physical strength was almost exhausted.
The first to fall was Haxorus, whose strength was only at the primary level of the King. Yulongdu took out the Poké Ball and took it back, looking at the battlefield with a serious look.
When Dragonite saw its offspring being knocked down, it felt an unknown fire burning in its heart. Its hands condensed dragon-attribute energy to form huge and sharp dragon claws, and it immediately rushed into the group of quasi-king-level elves that had been drugged, as if it had activated its invincible power.
Seeing how desperate the big brother in the team was, Gyarados, Charizard, Pteranodon, and Kingkong also used 200% of their strength. They all entered the reverse scale state and planned to fight to the death.
Seeing his elf fighting so hard, Yulongdu shook his head and smiled helplessly, then his eyes became stern and he tore off his coat, revealing his strong muscles.
“A true trainer must participate in the battle himself!”
As soon as he finished speaking, while the Rockets hadn’t reacted yet, Yu Longdu punched the Rocket elite closest to him on the temple, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
Then, Yulongdu gave another kick, and the powerful force sent the Rocket Team elite flying, bringing down a group of Rocket Team members in front of him.
“We have more people! We can outlast him!”
It was not until this time that the Rocket Team reacted and rushed towards Yulongdu with roars.
However, Yulongdu was very strong and had great physical skills. This group of Team Rocket was, after all, just a bunch of street thugs, and they were ruthless in attacking Yulongdu, who had not received any systematic training.
However, as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. As Yulongdu’s physical strength continued to be depleted, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
“(Dutian Wang, cover your mouth and nose quickly!)”
Chapter 010 What Happened That Year (Old Version)
Xiaozhi used waveguide to transmit his voice to Yulongdu’s mind. Yulongdu was dealing with the Rocket Team elites at the time and obviously could not distract himself to think about where the voice came from.
“(Watanabe, I’m a trainer passing by. Cover your mouth and nose now and leave the location of the Rocket Team, or you will be hit later.)”
Seeing that Yulongdu didn’t respond, Xiaozhi had to remind him again. If this guy still didn’t do as he was told, then I’m sorry, but I have to ask the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings to fall asleep with the group of Team Rocket elites in a paralyzed state.
Yulongdu was definitely not the kind of ignorant young man who knew nothing. When he heard the voice echoing in his mind again and smelled the scent in the air, he already understood what had happened.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Rockets, Yulongdu suddenly turned around and threw away all the weight that affected his running speed, and ran towards the exit with a posture of throwing away his weapons and armor.
When the captain of Team Rocket saw Yulongdu suddenly make such a move, he thought that Yulongdu was let his instinct for survival overcome the responsibility on his shoulders. In order to prevent the cooked duck from flying away, he conveyed the order of pursuit to his subordinates.
“Brothers, chase them! Don’t let that Yulongdu get away!”
Team Rocket chased in the direction of Yulongdu. They breathed deeply to replenish the oxygen consumed in the chase. The hypnotic and paralyzing powders entered their respiratory tracts.
As the blood circulated, those Rockets who were running in the front were the first to collapse and fainted on the ground in a daze.
Seeing his subordinates fainting one after another without any warning, the captain of Team Rocket finally realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, and he finally fell down in a drowsy state.
Without the trainer’s command, those quasi-king-level Pokémon were just a group of moving targets, and it didn’t take long for Yulongdu’s Pokémon to take care of them all.
Skills such as hypnotic powder or paralysis powder used by elite elves are naturally of little use to quasi-king-level elves, but this is not the case for humans.
This is also the reason why the Rocket Team fell to the ground, but those quasi-king-level elves were not affected at all.
Only after all the quasi-king-level Pokémon had fallen did Xiaozhi slowly walk into the battlefield between the two sides. Looking at the Rocket Team lying on the ground like corpses, Xiaozhi estimated that there were about 100 of them and knew that he had made a fortune this time.
A funny character like Kojiro Musashi has a bounty of 100,000 Alliance Coins, not to mention the Rocket Team elites who are putting Yulongdu in a tough battle.
But this credit is so huge that I may not be able to handle it.
Hearing the footsteps coming towards this side, Xiaozhi touched the little head of Pikachu on his shoulder and asked casually: “Watanabe, what are you going to do with these Rocket Teams?”
“Young man, thank you so much this time. You definitely deserve the credit.”
Yulongdu bowed deeply to Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi was quite surprised that the dragon-attributed king would do such a thing to him regardless of his status.
“You’re too polite. This time, it’s these Paras that are truly helping you, King Du.” Xiaozhi looked at the Paras that had drilled out of the ground, and then scattered all the energy blocks on his body.
“By the way, I don’t know your name yet, young man. How should I address you?”
“My name is Xiaozhi. I’m from Pallet Town and I’m a trainer who just debuted.”
This self-introduction was so ordinary, but after hearing it, Yulongdu suddenly grabbed Xiaozhi’s shoulders and shook him vigorously, saying: “Wait! You said your name is Xiaozhi? And you are from Pallet Town?!”
“…Yeah, could it be that King Du, you know me?” Looking at Yulong Du who suddenly became excited, Xiaozhi felt as if he had touched upon some secret, and it was the kind of secret that would have to be strictly guarded once known.
Yulongdu realized his own gaffe, and quickly straightened his face and said, “Before I answer your question, I want to know, Xiaozhi, is your last name Yuan?”
“Yes.”
Xiaozhi nodded slightly. Seeing this, Yulongdu showed an expression of “as expected” on his face. No one knew what he was happy about.
“King Dutian, can you now answer the question I asked earlier?”
Originally, Xiaozhi didn’t think he had obtained any useful information from Yulongdu, but Yulongdu actually said: “Xiaozhi, the reason why I know you is because of your father.”
“my father?”
“Yes, your father.” Yu Longdu explained, “He and I have a life-long friendship. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we are half brothers.”
Half-brother? When Xiaozhi heard this, his expression was a little subtle. If he hadn’t seen Yulongdu’s serious face, he would have really thought that Yulongdu was telling a joke.
“Xiaozhi, has your mother ever told you about your father’s deeds?”
“No.”
Xiaozhi shook his head. Hanako had never told him about this. From birth to now, he had never seen the shadow of his father. “Toten-no-tsu, do you know where my father is now? Why hasn’t he come back for so many years?”
“Because he’s dead. He died while saving people during an operation to encircle and suppress Team Rocket.” Yu Longdu’s tone was filled with regret for his own powerlessness, as if he had returned to that rainy night ten years ago.
“Your father is the champion of our alliance headquarters. In order to eliminate the Rocket Team that endangers social security, your father led our Four Heavenly Kings and investigators to launch a siege against the Rocket Team. The siege process can be said to be very smooth, until that incident happened…”
Staring into Xiaozhi’s confused eyes, Yulongdu continued: “The child of Sakaki, the leader of Team Rocket, and the child of the president of Silver Company were kidnapped by someone wearing the Mask of Ice.”
“At that time, Team Rocket was in a desperate situation. Your father decided to save the child kidnapped by the masked man. Although the battle was fierce until the end, your father successfully defeated the masked man and saved the child he kidnapped, but your father eventually passed away due to his serious injuries.”
Chapter 011 Hualan Gym (Old Version)
Chapter 011 Hualan Gym Pictures and Text
The man wearing the ice mask is probably indeed dead.
This was the information that Xiaozhi inferred from Yulongdu’s words. Then the two chatted about some other things. At the same time, they tied up the Rocket Team who had fainted on the ground and waited for the arrival of the alliance reinforcements.
“Xiaozhi, keep this card.”
Yulongdu suddenly took out a card from his pocket and threw it to Xiaozhi.
Xiaozhi was originally leaning against a rock wall, organizing the information he had obtained from Yulongdu with his eyes closed. This was his habit. When he heard Yulongdu’s voice, he opened his eyes and found that the flying card was already within reach.
Xiaozhi’s eyes focused, he reached out his hand and caught the card accurately, then played with it in his hand and examined it carefully for a moment.
“This card is very valuable. Isn’t Lord Du afraid that I will use it recklessly?” Xiaozhi raised his head and asked with a smile as he looked at Dragonite who was applying medicine to his Pokémon.
“This is my personal investment in you. The amount in it is enough for you to train a real team.”
Although Yulongdu did not say it directly, Xiaozhi understood what he meant. It was simply that the credit was too great, and Xiaozhi’s current strength was not enough to take on this cake. When the alliance reinforcements arrived later, there would be too many people and it would be easy for Xiaozhi’s identity information to be exposed, thus attracting the attention of Team Rocket and causing them to retaliate wildly.
Xiaozhi is not the kind of person who likes to be in the spotlight. He was very happy that Yulongdu gave him this black card and helped him attract hatred.
What does this black card represent? It can be used for unlimited spending!
The card that Yulongdu gave to Xiaozhi is definitely not that exaggerated, and it has many restrictions, but it is not a problem to spend tens of millions to buy some resources needed to cultivate Pokémon.
However, it remains to be seen how long the balance on this card can support Xiaozhi.
Xiaozhi is going to take the elite plus quantity route. After all, he still remembers clearly how the Pokémon at Dragon Ferry were nearly killed by nearly a thousand Pokémon that had been given drugs and forcefully upgraded to quasi-king level strength. Xiaozhi is not naive enough to take the fact that no one will bother you if you are strong as the truth.
A big tree attracts wind easily; a famous person is prone to gossip.
The reason why humans can sit firmly on the position of the overlord of the earth is because of their outstanding wisdom and excellent teamwork ability. At the same time, this is also the reason why those extremist organizations will recruit soldiers and the alliance will form armies and investigators to stabilize social security.
Working alone is never as good as working in partnership. No matter how powerful you are, you can’t solve all problems by yourself, unless you are the Long Aotian in the novel.
After bidding farewell to Dragon Ferry, Xiaozhi continued to move towards Cerulean City, just like those knights who went to hide their identities and fame, no matter how earth-shattering their actions were, they always had to return to their lives afterwards.
Cerulean City is a coastal city in the northern part of Kanto. The north of the city is connected to the estuary of the river, the south is Golden City, and the west is Mount Tsukimi.
Cerulean City is a medium-sized city that has the largest bicycle shop in the Kanto region and an Alliance Gym, but this gym is known as the weakest among all the gyms in the Kanto region.
After a long journey, Xiaozhi arrived at the Pokemon Center in Cerulean City. After handing his Pokemon to Miss Joy, he sat on a bench bored and waited for the broadcast to call him to pick up his Pokemon.
“Excuse me, can I sit next to you?”
A crisp voice sounded. Xiaozhi had no habit of talking to strangers, so he simply nodded.
The person sitting next to Xiaozhi seemed to want to ask something. At this moment, Xiaozhi’s name was suddenly called out on the radio. Xiaozhi stood up quickly and walked to the front desk.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the person sitting next to her. She was a heroic girl, wearing a white base shirt with a black jacket on the outside and blue denim hot pants. Her long dark brown hair was passed through the back of her hat to form a ponytail.
Xiaozhi’s pace did not slow down at all. He walked to the front desk in an orderly manner, took the tray held by Chansey, and took back his Pokémon.
After clipping the Poké Ball onto his belt, Ash left the Poké Center and planned to go to the Cerulean Gym to get a badge.
In his impression, it was an overestimation to say that the three Hualan sisters were just flower vase in terms of their strength. He could not get any effective training in this city, so he decided to just finish the fight and leave quickly.
While thinking about these unimportant things, Xiaozhi has already arrived at the Cerulean Gym. Looking at the building in front of him with a white sea lion sign, Xiaozhi suddenly felt that he was not in a gym, but an aquarium.
Whether it’s a gym disguised as an aquarium or an aquarium dressed up as a gym, as long as the badge allows you to participate in the league conference, it’s a good gym.
Just as Xiaozhi was about to step into the Cerulean Gym, the security guard standing at the door stopped him and said, “Hey, young man, the Cerulean Gym is holding a water ballet performance. If you want to enter the gym, you need to buy a ticket.”
“…”
Xiaozhi had never thought that he would have to pay to enter, so he had no choice but to buy the ticket worth 500 Alliance Coins. After all, the land belonged to someone else, and the Alliance had no right to interfere with what the gym owner wanted to do.
After arriving at the auditorium, Xiaozhi looked at the three Hualan sisters performing in the pool in the center of the stage, so he had to sit in his seat and wait quietly for the performance to end.
To be honest, the three Hualan sisters are quite good-looking.
Unfortunately for Xiaozhi, they were just a group of pretty old women. Not wanting to waste his ticket money, Xiaozhi had to force himself to watch the entire show.
After about half an hour, the performance of the three Hualan sisters finally ended. Xiaozhi, who had prepared in advance, had already arrived backstage and met the three sisters who had come off the stage to rest.
“Please wait a moment.”
Xiaozhi called out to them and introduced himself: “I’m Xiaozhi from Pallet Town, and I’m here to challenge the gym.”
“Sorry, we have lost all our fighting spirit,” said Sakura.
“Before you came, we were beaten badly by the three people from Pallet Town.” Acorus emphasized again and again, “Badly, badly – so badly that even our eyes were crooked, really.”
“And almost all of our elves are in the hospital,” Sakura added.
“The only one left is…” Mudan threw the Poké Ball, a white light flashed, and the weak-looking goldfish kept jumping on the ground.
Chapter 012: Battle with Touko (Old Version)
“If it can evolve into a goldfish king, it would be of some use. Now it can only fight with its horns.” Acorus waved his hands helplessly and asked his sister to take back the horned goldfish.
“Now you know why we can’t fight.” Sakura looked at Xiaozhi pitifully, hoping to win his sympathy and avoid the battle.
“We are so busy making ourselves more beautiful that we don’t have the time to train Pokémon.” Peony said half-jokingly, and it sounded very likely to be the case to Xiaozhi.
“So, I can only challenge the gym again tomorrow?”
Xiaozhi frowned imperceptibly. He didn’t like wasting time on such trivial matters, not to mention that he spent 500 Alliance Coins to enter the Cerulean Gym today in order to challenge it, and then watched the performance in the noisy audience seats for half an hour.
No matter which trainer this happened to, he would feel a nameless anger rising in his heart, not to mention that the performance of the three Cerulean sisters was only mediocre, which made Xiaozhi have no desire to come again. He is not the kind of loser who can’t walk when seeing a beautiful woman acting coquettishly towards him.
“I know this.” Bringing Xiaozhi to the competition venue, Sakura shouted to the pool in the competition venue: “Little sea lion.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the little sea lion in the pool swam ashore, crawled in front of Sakura, opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue. On the little sea lion’s tongue was the blue badge that could be obtained after successfully challenging the Cerulean Gym.
Sakura took the blue badge out of the little sea lion’s mouth, held it in her hand, and after cleaning it, she said to Xiaozhi: “Blue Badge, do you want this? If you want it, take it.”
“Thank you, but…”
Xiaozhi took the badge handed over by Sakura reluctantly and said politely, “If the inspector knew about this and reported it to the Supervisory Bureau, the Cerulean Gym might be demoted from a top-ranked gym to a second-ranked gym. In serious cases, it might even be forced to close.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it.” Sakura sighed, “Our Pokémon are still recuperating, and I think the Pikachu on your shoulder can easily defeat us, Xiaozhi. The result is obvious, so there’s no need for a competition.”
Just as Xiaozhi took the badge and prepared to leave, a girl walked in from outside and shouted to the three sisters standing in the competition venue: “Excuse me, is this the Cerulean Gym?”
Xiaozhi looked over when he heard the voice and discovered that the girl seemed to be the one he met at the Pokémon Center. The evidence was the heroic temperament she exuded, which was not something that ordinary people could possess.
“Yes, this is the Hualan Gym. Is there anything you can do for me, little sister?” asked Acorus.
The girl smiled confidently and pressed down her hat: “I’m a new trainer from the Unova region. My name is Touko. I’m here to challenge the gym!”
When they heard Touko’s proposal for a gym challenge, the three Hualan sisters were immediately put in an awkward situation, not knowing how to explain the situation to her.
As a gym leader, they need to unconditionally accept the challenges from trainers, but the problem is that all their Pokémon are being treated at the Poké Center and there are no Pokémon that can fight.
Giving away badges for free is tantamount to bringing shame to the Kanto Alliance.
Not to mention that this girl is a trainer from the Unova region. We can’t just give her the badge for free like we did to Satoshi. If she posts this online, how will the Kanto Alliance put their face?
Although the alliance is a whole, each region is still very exclusive.
Seeing the three Hualan sisters in a dilemma, Xiaozhi walked over to Touko and proposed: “Miss Touko, are you interested in playing a game with me?”
“With you? Ah, I think I’ve seen you at the Pokémon Center!”
“Heh, I didn’t expect Miss Touzi to still remember this.”
Xiaozhi smiled faintly: “As you can see, I am here to challenge the gym just like you, Ms. Touko, but the gym leaders’ Pokémon are currently receiving treatment at the Pokémon Center due to injuries.”
“So, I came here for nothing?”
Looking at Tohru’s disappointed face, Xiaozhi smiled and shook his head: “So, why don’t you fight me? If the strength you show in the battle is recognized by the gym leader, then both of us can get the gym badge.”
He turned around and looked at the three Hualan sisters: “Is everything okay? Sisters who are the gym leaders.”
Xiaozhi’s self-determination naturally helped the Cerulean Gym resolve the crisis. Sakura looked at the black-haired boy wearing a red and white short-sleeved shirt with a green leaf logo on his hat, and nodded gently, “Of course.”
Touko came to the challenger’s position, looked at Xiaozhi who was standing in the gym leader’s position, and took a deep breath. She could feel that the next battle would probably be a fierce one.
Ayame stepped on a pedal and announced the rules of the game to the two of them: “Now begins the gym challenge between Satoshi from Pallet Town and Toru from Kanoko Town to prove their strength and obtain the blue badge. Each of them can use two Pokémon. When both Pokémon of one party lose their combat ability, the game ends. Since both parties are challengers, they can freely exchange Pokémon.”
“Pipibi, give it your all.”
“Fry the pig and defeat the opponent!”
Xiaozhi and Toru threw the Poké Balls in their hands at the same time, and the two Pokémon appeared not in the water, but on the floating platform and in the air.
When Touko saw the Pokémon sent by Xiaozhi, which had a normal Pidgeot with flying attributes, she smiled bitterly in her heart: “Oh no, I’m afraid that Chao Chaozhu will be at a disadvantage this time. I hope this kid won’t get angry with me when he returns.”
It was undoubtedly an unwise move for Toruko to send out a Chara Pig to the water-attribute gym, but due to economic reasons she chose the elite route and now only has two Pokémon.
The elves sent out are like poured water, you have to go ahead no matter how hard you try.
“Fry the pig, spray the flames!”
Chapter 013: No Martial Ethics (Old Version)
Hearing the trainer’s command, Pigsy began to enter combat mode. A small amount of sparks first spurted out of its nose, and then it opened its mouth, and dark red flames spurted out of its hot mouth, like a fire snake baring its sharp fangs at the enemy!
When Xiaozhi saw the flames coming out of Pokémon Go, he thought that Tohru had some talent in training Pokémon and could be a good opponent.
“Pipibi, lightning!”
Facing the oncoming jet of flames, the Pidgeot tilted its body slightly and came into super close contact with the high-temperature fire snake, and some of the feathers on its wings were also singed.
When Chao Chao Zhu saw the Pidgeot avoiding the jets of flame and flying towards him, he opened his eyes wide and looked a little panicked.
“Charge Flame Attack and jump onto the other floating pedals!”
Touzi gave the order calmly. Chaochaozhu is the evolved form of Nuannuanzhu, with the attributes of fire and fighting. Fighting in a water field is already a disadvantage, not to mention that the opponent is Pidgeot, which has the flying attribute.
To deal with such a situation, we have to be extremely alert.
Chao Chao Zhu originally wanted to stomp the ground hard twice, but when it realized that it was not the ground it was stepping on, but the floating pedal on the pool, it couldn’t help but reduce the strength of its feet a little.
After stepping on the floating pedal twice in a very funny posture, Chao Chao Zhu’s body was wrapped in burning flames.
As a red flame that increased speed flashed by, Chao Chao Zhu passed by the attacking Pidgeot and successfully jumped onto other floating pedals on the pool.
“Ms. Touzi, I can see that you put a lot of effort into Chao Chao Zhu.” Xiaozhi pressed down the hat he was wearing and praised sincerely.
“Thank you for the compliment, but I won’t show any mercy!” Touzi shouted, “Stir-fry the pig, spray the flames!”
Facing the jet of flames that attacked again, Xiaozhi shook his head gently and gave an order with ease: “Pipido, the opponent’s attack is not to be feared, use Swallow Return.”
In response to Xiaozhi’s call, Pidgeot used its agility to avoid the jet of flames from Piggy, and before Piggy could react, it went behind it and hit it hard!
The flying moves undoubtedly caused heavy damage to Chao Chao Pig, but due to its heavy weight, Chao Chao Pig did not fall into the water.
Tsk, heavyweight opponents are really disgusting.
Xiaozhi complained in his heart, but he had already thought of a way to deal with this fried pig. He just wanted this trick to have the greatest effect, so he had to wait until the opponent used a skill.
Xiaozhi silently waited for Toru to give orders. As long as Toru did not see through Xiaozhi’s intention, he would win the battle.
Toru looked at the silent Xiaozhi. Although she was confused, she couldn’t guess what he was thinking. For a moment, the atmosphere on the field actually cooled down a little.
The two warring parties did not take any action. They stared at each other intently without relaxing at all. Now it just depended on who would lose patience first.
The three Hualan sisters stood in the referee’s position, staring blankly at the game that had just stopped. They looked at each other, as if wondering who should remind them that it was time to make a move.
This guy named Xiaozhi looks quite handsome.
This thought couldn’t help but pop up in Touko’s mind. When she realized this, she quickly patted her cheeks with her hands, putting these thoughts that had nothing to do with the battle behind her mind to avoid being discovered by Xiaozhi.
About half a minute later, Touzi couldn’t help herself anymore and said, “Stir-fried pork, big words burst into flames!”
“Good opportunity!”
Xiaozhi seized the moment when the energy-gathering Piggybank was exposed and lost its balance, and shouted, “Piggybird, use Tornado on the floating platform where Piggybank is standing!”
“What? Not good!” Touzi was horrified when he heard that, and quickly shouted to Chao Chao Zhu, “Quickly stop the big character explosion! Steady yourself!”
Xiaozhi was destined not to let Tohru get his wish. Pidgeot flapped its wings hard, and a tornado carried the water in the pool and launched a fierce attack on Piglet.
The tornado created by the current Pidgeot is definitely not comparable to the tornado in nature. However, for Piglet who hates water, this water tornado is extremely effective!
Affected by the waterspout, the piglet standing on the floating platform seemed to stagger a little. Pidgeot took this opportunity to increase its force and made it fall into the pool.
Beat the man who is down and out, this is Xiaozhi’s strategy.
However, it would be more appropriate to say that it is a drowned pig rather than a drowned dog.
Chao Chao Zhu is feeling terrible now. Every time it tries to climb onto the floating platform, the Pidgeot flying in the air will attack it, so that as a fire-attribute elf, it can only soak in the pool.
Looking at the state of her own elf, Touzi could only hope that the battle would end quickly.
Because every time she wanted to take back Pokémon Go, Pidgeot would always stand in front of the light emitted by the Poké Ball, which was really unsportsmanlike.
About five minutes later, the exhausted Chao Chao Zhu lost its ability to fight in the pool. Touzi looked at the Pidgeot that no longer blocked her, then she took out the Poké Ball and took back the Chao Chao Zhu with the gas-coated eyes.
“Xiaozhi, can’t you fight me fair and square?”
Touko put one hand on her waist and looked at Xiaozhi, her tone seemed to contain a hint of complaint. She was the kind of trainer who liked to fight back.
“Ms. Touko, as trainers, shouldn’t we use the battle field flexibly?” Xiaozhi said seriously, feeling like a big shot deceiving a layman.
“Well, let’s stop chatting here.”
Touko didn’t seem to want to argue about this. She threw the Poké Ball neatly: “Sea Thorn, this is your best field, you must not lose!”
Looking at the Seadragon ready to go in the pool, Xiaozhi took out the Poké Ball and took back the Pidgeot. It would be too difficult for Pidgeot, which had just been through a battle, to defeat the energetic Seadragon.
As for the Pokémon to be sent out next, Xiaozhi already had a decision in his mind.
“Pikachu, it’s your turn.”
Chapter 014 Blue Badge (Old Version)
“Pikachu?”
Seeing Pikachu standing on the floating platform, Touzi put his hand on his forehead and seemed a little crazy: “Xiaozhi, you are really merciless.”
“Ms. Touzi has given me her all. How could I possibly let you off?”
Go easy on the girl? Xiaozhi would never do such a lenient act. This behavior not only insults the opponent’s strength, but also denies his own efforts and is irresponsible to the Pokémon.
Xiaozhi is not the gym leader responsible for guiding newcomers, so there is naturally no need for him to do such a unnecessary thing.
“Seasaurus, use water gun.” Touzi ordered after Pikachu entered combat state.
Facing the water gun spit out by Sea Thorn Dragon, Pikachu nimbly jumped onto the floating pedal closest to him. It can be seen that this fierce water gun was shot with professional training.
“Pikachu, use Thunderbolt to get close to the opponent, then use Iron Tail.” Xiaozhi gave the order.
Hearing the trainer’s instructions, Pikachu suddenly increased its speed and stepped on one floating pedal after another to move towards the direction of Sea Dragon. The whole process was smooth as flowing water.
Looking at the Sea Thorn that was shocked by its speed, Pikachu showed a mocking smile on its face and its tail became extremely hard.
“Sea Thorn Dragon, dive quickly!”
It seemed that Seadragon’s reaction speed was a little lacking, but fortunately this was a water place. When Pikachu’s attack was about to hit it, Seadragon dived down, which delayed its defeat.
The elves with water attributes do not necessarily have an advantage in the water field. For example, those electrical elves with strong power can defeat their opponents more easily here.
“Pikachu, use 100,000 volts on the water!”
Seeing that Sea Dragon was hiding in the water with no intention of coming out, Xiaozhi had to give up this opportunity for Pikachu to practice physical attacks.
Following the order, Pikachu continuously released electric current into the swimming pool. Although electric-attribute moves can work wonders in water, due to the large amount of water in the pool, the power of 100,000 volts was weakened a lot.
However, for the sea thorn dragon hiding in the water, this water with a trace electric current made it feel extremely uncomfortable, and it did not want to stay in the pool at all.
“Sea Thorn, quickly jump onto the Floating Tabot and use the most powerful Dragon Wave on Pikachu!”
Touzi felt that letting the Sea Thorn Dragon hide in the water all the time was not a good idea, so she could only place her hope of defeating the opponent on the Dragon Wave.
Dragon Wave is a move that all elves with dragon attributes can learn. However, for those dragons living in the wild, if they do not have sufficient talent, those dragons will never be able to learn this move in their entire lives.
Touzi’s Sea Dragon is very talented, but unfortunately Xiaozhi will not give the opponent the opportunity to successfully launch Dragon Wave.
“Pikachu, use the electric grid.”
Along with Xiaozhi’s voice, Pikachu suddenly jumped into the air, and a golden electric ball condensed at the end of its tail. After it hit it out with great force, the electric ball suddenly turned into an electric net in the middle of flight and blocked Sea Dragon.
Blocked by the power grid, the condensed dragon wave finally hit the sea dragon.
The power of the dragon-attributed trick is terrifying, not to mention that this trick is the dragon’s wave. Under the influence of this, the Sea Thorn Dragon, which was stuck on the electric net and unable to move, kept shaking.
The outcome of this battle is already clear. Xiaozhi does not have the evil taste to play with the loser, but he will not show mercy either.
“To defeat the opponent, use the most powerful attack…”
“Wait, I give up!”
Touko suddenly raised her right hand and shouted to the three Hualan sisters who were serving as referees, as if she was worried that Pikachu’s attack would not stop. She quickly took out the Poké Ball and took back the Sea Dragon.
Mudan was the first to react. She wanted to ask Tohko if she was sure she was going to give up. However, when she saw Tohko’s actions, she had no choice but to announce: “Since Ms. Tohko felt that she was no match for her opponent and chose to give up, the winner of this gym challenge to prove her strength and get the blue badge is Satoshi from Pallet Town!”
After Touzi put the Poké Ball on her belt, she walked up to Xiaozhi and held out her hand: “Xiaozhi, will you participate in the Quartz Conference held by the Kanto League?”
Xiaozhi held the hand that Toruko extended to him and nodded gently: “Yes, Miss Toruko, let’s fight it out at the Quartz Conference then.”
“That’s exactly what I mean. By then I will become even stronger than I am now, and then defeat you!” After shaking hands, Touzi gently hit Xiaozhi’s shoulder.
Xiaozhi rubbed his shoulders subconsciously, and was surprised that Touko would do such a thing. It seemed that she had already regarded him as a friend, and a particularly close one at that.
“Ms. Touzi, you…”
“Xiaozhi, just call me by my name. No need to add the word Miss at the end. Just consider this as a special treatment I give you.” Touko blinked at Xiaozhi, and there seemed to be some other meaning in her words.
Could it be that this little girl has a crush on me?
Xiaozhi wanted to say how could it be possible, but when he thought about his fairly handsome face, his restless heart instantly calmed down.
He is not the kind of audience who firmly believes that the heroine in the anime says she likes the hero because he is kind. To put it bluntly, this society still values ​​appearance. Your good looks will give you a good first impression on others, and you will be more likely to get help from others when doing things, and you will also be more likely to be liked by the opposite sex.
“Xiaozhi, congratulations on your victory. This is the blue badge you returned earlier. It is now officially presented to you.”
At the beginning of the battle, Xiaozhi returned the blue badge to the three Cerulean sisters. This time, after officially obtaining the blue badge through the battle, Xiaozhi felt that the badge had more meaning.
After Xiaozhi accepted the badge, Sakura turned around and walked to Toruko, and also took out a blue badge: “Toruko, although you didn’t win this battle, your strength has been recognized by us, so please accept this blue badge.”
Toruko originally thought that she could only challenge the gym again tomorrow. When she saw the badge in Sakura’s hand, she was stunned for a moment.
After a while, she took the badge and said, “Thank you, thank you!”
Chapter 015 Evolution (Old Version)
After leaving the Cerulean Gym and purchasing supplies, Xiaozhi set out to leave the city.
These days, Xiaozhi has been traveling and training Pokémon. Pidgeot’s strength has reached the elite level. It will surely evolve into Pidgeot in no time. All it lacks is an opportunity.
Butterfree has already possessed elite-level strength, but because it is a Bug-type Pokémon, the improvement in strength is not very great. Ash is very clear about Butterfree’s limits, so he won’t let it train desperately.
Although Pikachu is evaluated by the system as having extremely high talent and unlimited potential, he is very inconsistent in training. Whenever Xiaozhi criticizes him, Pikachu always acts cute and pitiful to get away with it, making it difficult for Xiaozhi to force him.
The debt that Pikachu incurs by being lazy now will require him to pay more in the future. Xiaozhi knows that Pikachu understands this, so he wants to see when it will give up this sloppy look.
In the afternoon, a thick fog suddenly rose in the deep forest. Xiaozhi gave up the idea of ​​continuing his journey.
Just when Xiaozhi sat down to practice the power of wave, Pikachu, who had been out for a stroll out of boredom, came back. The little guy was wagging his tail and looked like he had encountered something happy.
“Pikapi! (Xiaozhi, I found traces of human activities!)”
“Traces of human activity?” Xiaozhi frowned. The elf gear developed by Silver Company that he bought did not indicate the existence of any buildings here.
“Pikachu. (Yeah, the people there saw that I was cute and gave me food.)” Pikachu covered his electric sac, as if he was savoring the delicious food.
Looking at Pikachu’s happy face, Xiaozhi felt mixed emotions for a moment. It seemed that his little yellow rat was someone who could be easily bribed.
“Pikapi! (Xiaozhi, follow me!)”
Hearing Pikachu’s call, Xiaozhi no longer cared about continuing to practice the power of wave. After taking Butterfree and Pidgeot back into the Poké Ball, he followed Pikachu and rushed to the place where the people were found.
After walking for about ten minutes, Xiaozhi found a building in front of him with a very strange shape and very luxurious facilities inside.
When Xiaozhi saw the students in uniform inside, he finally knew where this place was…
It is said that as long as you successfully graduate from the Pokémon Research School, you can directly participate in the League Conference without having to challenge gyms to obtain badges. This school is specially prepared for rich kids who can’t stand hardship or don’t want to travel.
It can be regarded as a special channel prepared by the alliance for the rich and a model of collusion between officials and businessmen.
However, in the past ten years, the students who graduated here have not achieved good rankings in the league conference, and none of them has ever entered the top eight.
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi put his hands in his pockets, turned around and was about to leave. After all, the level of the trainers here was too poor to help his Pokémon improve their strength effectively.
“Mr. Trainer passing by, since you are already here, don’t you want to have a Pokémon battle with us? Or are you afraid of losing?”
Xiaozhi had just taken two steps when he heard a voice behind him.
The provocation of the weak was nothing but noise. Xiaozhi had no intention of paying attention to him, but the Pikachu on his shoulder couldn’t help it. As it was protecting its master, crackling electricity immediately overflowed from its face.
“Oh my, what’s wrong with this Pikachu? Not only is it wandering around outside, but it’s also discharging electric currents randomly!”
“You don’t need to be mean to my Pokémon in order to fight me, right?” Xiaozhi pressed down his hat, turned around and threw out a Poké Ball, “1v1 friendly match, stop when it’s over, how about that?”
“Finally I accepted the challenge.”
The brown-haired girl put one hand on her waist, her face full of arrogance and disdain. “My name is Sundae, the rules don’t matter, so let’s start the battle! Caracara, gather your energy!”
“Pidgeot, the opponent is very weak, you can handle it yourself.” Looking at the data of Caracalla on the system panel, Xiaozhi said expressionlessly.
Pidgeot understood what Xiaozhi meant and disappeared in front of Caracalla in an instant. When it appeared again, its completely tempered wings stayed in front of Caracalla’s eyes, less than one centimeter away!
“What!”
Sundae looked at Pidgeot in shock. He had never expected his opponent to be so fast! In just a moment, he was in front of Caracalla!
Fortunately, Caracalla’s reaction speed far exceeded that of its owner, and he subconsciously threw away the bone in his hand.
Logically speaking, ground-attribute moves won’t cause damage to flying-attribute Pokémon, but this is the real world, and they are not immune to physical damage.
The Pidgeot flapped its wings, dodged the bone boomerang, and flew behind Caracalla. Without giving anyone time to react, it swung its steel wings hard and knocked Caracalla into the air.
The Pidgeot stared at the prey in the air, rushed above the knocked-off Caracalla, and flapped its tempered wings to deal a heavy blow to the Caracalla’s abdomen!
Caracalla smashed a big hole in the ground, his eyes were like mosquito coils, and he lost his ability to fight.
The victorious Pidgeot finally broke free from its shackles, and after letting out a clear chirp towards the sky, its entire body began to glow with a dazzling white light.
Although this was not the first time that Xiaozhi saw evolution, the joy of seeing the Pokémon he had personally trained evolve to its final form was still indescribable. He felt a bit like the satisfaction of seeing his own child grow up.
“Tut!”
As the white light gradually dissipated, the evolved Pidgeot continuously launched air slashes at the ground, making loud chirping sounds.
Compared to the Pidgeot, the Pidgeot has a larger body, a wider wingspan, and shorter claws, like an eagle. Its sharp eyes and broad wings give the Pidgeot a kingly demeanor.
Snap, snap, snap…
“It was an exciting battle. Young trainer, would you be so kind as to come to my office for a cup of tea?”
Accompanied by a round of applause, the dean of the Pokémon Research School walked to the center of the battle field and invited Xiaozhi with a smile.
Chapter 016 No Interest (Old Version)
“Hello, Dean!”
Shengdai bowed deeply to the old man who came to the center of the battlefield, with indescribable respect in his eyes.
The old man is the dean of the Elf Research School. He is usually kind to students and has some skills. He once ranked among the top four in the League Conference.
“Young trainer, can you tell us your name?”
The dean looked at Xiaozhi with a smile, like a kind-hearted old grandfather.
“Before you want to know someone’s name, you should tell them your own name first.” Considering that Sundae had been sarcastic to his Pokémon before, Xiaozhi did not give the old man a good look.
“How can you …”
Shengdai seemed to want to say something after hearing this, but the dean didn’t care and reached out his hand to stop Shengdai.
“That’s right, I neglected this.” The dean cleared his throat, “I am the dean of this spirit research school, Daisuke Morita, and I let this Sundae fight you.”
“My name is Xiaozhi.”
Seeing that the other party had expressed his goodwill, Xiaozhi briefly introduced himself in accordance with the idea of ​​not hitting a smiling person.
“What a nice name.” Dean Morita smiled softly, “Xiaozhi, don’t you want to ask me something? For example, why did I let Sundae invite you to a battle?”
“Not interested.” Xiaozhi never pays attention to the weak, and this does not change because of the opponent’s gender or appearance.
If we were to say that Satoshi’s only impression of Sundae is that in the original work, Satoshi blushed at her. As a result, this extra character was set up by countless fan writers as the eldest daughter of the Yuto family. And because of the name, those fan writers associated it with Shirona who liked to eat ice cream, and therefore set her up as Shirona’s sister, a typical character whose fate is changed by certain actions of the protagonist.
This is like the extras in some animations who were drawn particularly well, but because of their tragic fate, they were saved from death by countless fan writers in the re-creations. Whenever Xiaozhi read novels to this point in his previous life, he would always secretly complain in his heart, thinking that only good-looking people are worthy of living in this world, and those ugly extras have no human rights, right?
“You…!” Sundae’s face became a little uncertain after being humiliated mercilessly by Xiaozhi. If she hadn’t been worried that Dean Morita’s opinion of her would drop, Xiaozhi would probably have known what it meant to be elegant and easy-going.
“Haha, it’s good that young people don’t ask too many questions.” Dean Morita comforted Sundae, then turned to look at Xiaozhi and asked, “Xiaozhi, what do you think of our Pokémon Research School?”
“From a trainer’s perspective, the students graduating from this school are mediocre. It seems that they have only mastered some theoretical knowledge and don’t know how to train Pokémon.” Xiaozhi commented pertinently.
“Well said.”
Dean Morita put away his smile, looked at Xiaozhi seriously, and asked eagerly: “Then, Xiaozhi, I sincerely invite you to become a student of our college! I guarantee in the name of Morita that as long as Xiaozhi is willing to become a student of our college, you can enjoy the best resources in our college.”
“The best resource, are you serious?”
“Haha, of course I keep my word.”
“What a tempting proposal.”
Xiaozhi nodded, then raised his head, and in the eyes of Dean Morita with joy and expectation, he said softly: “But I refuse.”
“Why?” Dean Morita looked at Xiaozhi in confusion, with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes. He didn’t know how Xiaozhi could have the heart to reject this sure-win win-win proposal.
If it was Xiaozhi who had just debuted, he might have been persuaded by Dean Morita’s words, but Xiaozhi is not short of money now.
Half a month ago, Xiaozhi helped Ryudo capture the elite of Team Rocket at Mt. Tsukimi. The black card he received as a gift had already helped him solve his financial problems. It would be a joke if Xiaozhi were to rely on others for such a small profit now.
“I’m not short of money.” After saying this, Xiaozhi turned around and prepared to leave.
“Wait! Xiaozhi!” When Dean Morita saw Xiaozhi wanted to leave, he immediately stepped forward and stopped him.
“What? Do you still want to force me to stay here?” Xiaozhi turned his head slightly and took out a Poké Ball in his hand, which was Butterfree, responsible for hypnotizing the enemy.
“No, Xiaozhi, you misunderstood. I still have something to say and I hope you can listen to it before leaving.” Dean Morita looked at Xiaozhi sincerely, without any airs of a dean on his body.
Xiaozhi decided to give him some face, it wouldn’t take much time anyway.
Seeing that Xiaozhi was still willing to stay and continue the conversation, Dean Morita couldn’t help but let out a sigh and put a smile on his face again.
Sundae, who had been watching without saying anything, was not happy. In her opinion, Xiaozhi was not worthy of the dean lowering himself to her.
Looking at the somewhat impatient Xiaozhi, Dean Morita took out a letter from his pocket: “Although Xiaozhi, you did not become a student of our academy, I would like to reach another kind of cooperation with you.”
“Cooperation?” Xiaozhi narrowed his eyes slightly and did not accept the letter.
“Yes, although our academy strives to cultivate elites…” At this point, Dean Morita sighed helplessly when he saw Xiaozhi’s disdainful smile: “But the talents cultivated by our academy are indeed a bit lacking, so I would like to ask you to capture some potential Pokémon while traveling, and we will pay equal compensation according to the potential of the Pokémon.”
Xiaozhi didn’t have the time to do such a thankless task, and he didn’t think the trainers here could train those Pokémon well: “Potential Pokémon will not recognize weak trainers. If the trainer is strong enough, Pokémon will naturally choose to follow him. Goodbye.”
“Xiaozhi, wait!”
Dean Morita tried to stop Xiaozhi from leaving, but Xiaozhi did not hesitate and left the academy without looking back.
“well……”
Dean Morita sighed in frustration.
“Dean, why don’t you force him to stay?” Looking at Xiaozhi who was walking away, Shengdai suddenly asked.
“A golden fish should not be kept in a pond.” Dean Morita said this with his hands behind his back, and then returned to his office, leaving Sundae standing there in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
Chapter 017 Bulbasaur (Old Version)
“Pikachu, I told you not to run around. Now you’re lost.”
Xiaozhi pinched Pikachu’s cheek, looked at the Pokémon Gear in his hand that had no signal, and sighed silently in his heart. He didn’t know how long it would take him to get out of the forest.
The grass in the bushes is lush and green, and there seems to be no signs of human activity. I hope the supplies in my backpack can get me through this difficult time.
“Pikapi! Pikachu! (I know I was wrong, Xiaozhi, please stop pinching my face! We have to hurry, or it will be dark!)” Pikachu struggled, hoping that Xiaozhi would let him go.
“You still dare to say that? I don’t know who has brought me to this point!” Xiaozhi suddenly pulled Pikachu’s face, and after pulling it to a certain extent, he suddenly let go.
Pikachu rubbed his red little face. Seeing this, Xiaozhi subconsciously squeezed his empty hand and said, “You know what, it’s really elastic.”
Xiaozhi likes to act according to the plan made in advance, doing things at the right time. He is the kind of person who is strict with himself, so he doesn’t like his plans to be disrupted by others.
But since it has happened, we should just make the best of it. If we always live our life according to a set plan, it would be too tiring.
For example, this time we got lost, we have to look at it dialectically. There is no sign of human activity here, which means that there are many elves with potential living here, and we can slowly choose them.
Just as Xiaozhi was comforting himself in his heart, the bushes beside him suddenly shook, as if something was passing by.
Unfortunately, the thing moved too fast, and with Xiaozhi’s eyesight, he could only see that its entire body was green, and there was a huge, unopened seed on its back.
Although the information obtained was not much, Xiaozhi still deduced the identity of the Pokémon, one of the three starter Pokémons in the Kanto region, Bulbasaur, commonly known as the Garlic Turtle.
The Three Starter Pokémon are bred by the Alliance and given as initial Pokémon to new trainers. They are generally not seen in the wild.
Logically speaking, the potential or talent of the Big Three Pokémon are not too bad. Compared to the mixed Pokémon in the wild, their growth rate is very fast.
Ash was inspired by Bulbasaur to capture it, and he would not let go of the prey he set his eyes on. This Bulbasaur would definitely become the main force under his training.
Calling Pikachu, who was still rubbing his cheek on the ground, Xiaozhi walked towards the bushes where Bulbasaur passed by.
It is so difficult to find a Pokémon in the dense forest. Even if Ash turned on the perception function of the wave guide, he still couldn’t find Bulbasaur. It was as if it disappeared out of thin air.
“Pikapi. (Ash, give up on that Bulbasaur.)”
Looking at the gloomy environment, Pikachu suddenly felt timid. It felt that the probability of finding the Bulbasaur was low, and going deeper would only be a waste of time.
Xiaozhi looked at the Pikachu on his shoulder with disdain. It was okay that this guy usually liked to slack off, but he didn’t expect him to be so cowardly.
“There’s no way I’m going to give up that Bulbasaur.”
Xiaozhi pointed to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain and said, “It’s already very late. Let’s go to that wooden house and stay overnight. After we have rested up, we can continue our search tomorrow morning.”
Pikachu felt something was wrong when he heard this. It seemed that its trainer was in conflict with that Bulbasaur.
I hope that Bulbasaur doesn’t be ungrateful, otherwise they will have to stay in this forest for a long time, and Pikachu doesn’t want to live a life of exposure to the wind and rain.
Xiaozhi walked slowly towards the wooden house. He encountered various traps along the way, but he avoided them all safely.
“Pikachu, why do you think there are so many traps here?”
“Pikaka. (Huh? How could I possibly know such a thing?)”
Xiaozhi originally asked Pikachu just to kill time, so of course he couldn’t really ask Pikachu to give him an answer, but he already knew where this place was.
As the chat ended, Xiaozhi walked to the wooden house safely, and the scene in front of him shocked him.
There are a large number of elves living here, some of them have bandages wrapped around their bodies. It seems that someone is taking care of them here, but there is distrust of humans in their eyes, and no one knows how the person who takes care of them eliminates the gap.
“Excuse me, can I stay here for one night?”
Xiaozhi walked into the middle of the group of Pokémons, emitting waves of kindness, and shouted towards the wooden house.
“Hey, is it a traveler passing by?” The door of the wooden house was opened, and a blue-haired woman in pajamas walked out, seemingly surprised that someone could come here.
“As you can see, I’m a trainer passing by. I lost my way while looking for Bulbasaur and came here.” Xiaozhi said, touching Pikachu on his shoulder.
“Bulbasaur? Ah, you must be talking about that kid.”
The blue-haired woman bowed to Xiaozhi apologetically and said, “My name is Xiaocui, and I am the nurse of Pokemon Country. The Bulbasaur you are looking for is the bodyguard here. I am really sorry to cause you trouble.”
“It’s okay. My getting lost has nothing to do with you, Miss Xiao Cui. It’s mainly a personal problem.” Xiaozhi waved his hand. “I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xiaozhi, and I’m from Pallet Town…”
“Danai!” With an angry cry, Bulbasaur, who had just returned from a patrol, rushed up and attacked Satoshi.
Fortunately, Xiaozhi was prepared and immediately took a step back. Bulbasaur did not expect Xiaozhi to do such a thing, and it rushed forward and fell into the creek.
“Bulbasaur, what are you doing?” Xiao Cui realized it later and pulled Bulbasaur who fell into the river onto the shore.
Pikachu jumped down from Satoshi’s shoulder. As the big brother-level Pokémon in the team, it didn’t even notice Bulbasaur’s sneak attack. It must make up for its mistake.
Chapter 018 Bole (Old Version)
“Pika, Pika, Pika! (Why are you attacking Xiaozhi?)”
Pikachu questioned Bulbasaur, with crackling electricity flowing from his face, and the threat in his tone was quite obvious. If Bulbasaur failed to explain himself clearly, Pikachu didn’t mind having a life-and-death battle with it.
After Bulbasaur was wiped dry by Xiaocui, he immediately spat on the ground: “Danai! (Stupid electric mouse, none of humans are good!)”
“Pica? (What did you say?)”
Pikachu didn’t like other Pokémon insulting Xiaozhi, so he immediately retorted: “Pika Pika! (Are you saying that the human who wiped you dry is not a good person!)”
“Da, Danai! (She, she is different from other humans!)”
Bulbasaur stuttered when he heard this, and didn’t dare to continue looking at Pikachu, so he could only look away.
“Pikachu! (Double standard! How can there be such a double-standard Pokémon in this world!)” Pikachu looked at Bulbasaur with disdain. It didn’t expect that Bulbasaur didn’t dare to take responsibility for what it said.
“Danaihuha! (In short, Xiaocui is different from your master! She is not a trainer and will not abandon Pokémon!)” Bulbasaur’s face turned ashen, and it took him a long while to utter these words.
While the two Pokémon were arguing, Xiaozhi called up the data of Bulbasaur –
Name: Bulbasaur
Features: Lush
Attributes: Grass, Poison
Information: After being abandoned by the original owner, he became unwilling to trust humans and extremely disgusted with elves who fought for humans. He is extremely talented and has the potential to be a champion.
“I’m so sorry!”
Cui bowed to Xiaozhi again and explained: “Bulbasaur was abandoned by its original owner, so it hates humans and is very wary of trainers who come here.”
Xiaozhi would not mess with a Pokémon, and this Pokémon was his target: “No need to apologize, but this Bulbasaur is very energetic, I like it very much.”
“Actually, this place is a bit like a sanatorium for elves.”
Xiao Cui introduced this place: “Look, aren’t there many elves who were injured or abandoned in battle? Those elves who are traumatized mentally or physically will come here to recuperate.”
“I see. But ordinary people probably can’t afford to treat so many Pokémon, right?” Xiaozhi looked around at the Pokémon here and made a preliminary estimate that there were about seventy or eighty of them, not counting the Pokémon that stayed in the forest and didn’t come back.
“I used folk remedies.” Xiao Cui stroked the walking grass’s head and said, “The elves don’t have to fight in this place. They can heal their wounds and live together with their companions to encourage each other.”
The two chatted for a while, and Xiaozhi stared at Bulbasaur who was taking care of other Pokémon. He felt more and more that Bulbasaur was wasting his talent by staying here.
As the saying goes, there are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers.
All the kings and champions in this world can be said to be Bole, but for them, those elves who can be called thousand-mile horses are rare, such as the fighting king Sheba in the original work. In order to find an elf with potential, he stayed in Mount Miacha for several months, and finally succeeded in subduing the giant Onix.
Xiaozhi has a system that can see the data of Pokémon, so he can be considered half a Bole, but for Xiaozhi, there are too few Maxima Pokémon worth training.
Since the start of his journey, Xiaozhi has scanned at least eight thousand Pokémon, but there are less than ten Pokémon with the potential to be champions or kings. This is the total number including the Pokémon on Xiaozhi and the Pokémon on Yulongdu.
“Bulbasaur, sacrificed itself to help the weak Pokémon in Pokémon Land, but if it continues like this, it will become a frog in a well.”
Xiaozhi sincerely pleaded with Xiaocui: “If it continues to stay here, it will not grow, and the plants on its back will never grow up, so I hope Miss Xiaocui, you can let me take Bulbasaur to the outside world.”
“On this point, Xiaozhi, you need to obtain Bulbasaur’s consent. If you want to capture it directly through a battle, I can’t say anything.”
Xiao Cui originally hoped that someone could take Bulbasaur to the outside world. She knew that Bulbasaur was not the kind of Pokémon that would stay here as a bodyguard for its entire life. Bulbasaur should be able to grow even stronger, and it had its own active place.
Xiaozhi knew very well that Bulbasaur would most likely not travel with him given Bulbasaur’s personality, so he directly threw out the Poké Ball, hoping to capture Bulbasaur through battle.
A white light flashed, and Pidgeot appeared on the battlefield. It looked down at the tiny Bulbasaur and felt that this Bulbasaur would not be able to survive more than a round against it, and that was indeed the case.
Pikachu was immediately unhappy when he saw this. He didn’t expect that Xiaozhi would not give him a chance to make amends. However, he didn’t know that Xiaozhi didn’t take this matter to heart at all.
Bulbasaur looked at the majestic Pidgeot in front of him as if it were facing a formidable enemy. After a preliminary estimate of Pidgeot’s strength, he felt that his chances of turning the tables were very slim, and his chances of winning were almost zero.
“Pidot, use wings to attack.”
Hearing the trainer’s command, Pidgeot flapped its wings and flew up. It looked down at Bulbasaur on the ground without taking any action. It only rushed over when the sweat on Bulbasaur’s head started to drip!
Bulbasaur had no way to avoid it and was directly knocked into the air by the huge and tough wings. After reaching a certain height, it fell down weakly.
With a loud bang, Bulbasaur fell to the ground and lost its ability to fight.
Looking at Bulbasaur with burning eyes, Xiaozhi smiled slightly, took out an empty Poké Ball and threw it gently over.
The Poké Ball hit Bulbasaur’s head, turning it into a red light and sucking it into the ball. After a slight shaking, the Poké Ball finally stopped moving, indicating that it was successfully captured.
Chapter 019 Weak Charmander (Old Version)
After opening its eyes, Bulbasaur felt the binding energy on its body and realized that it had been subdued by humans, but it did not show any panic.
For Bulbasaur, since that human defeated it fairly with the help of Pidgeot, then Satoshi, as the winner, can deal with it, as the loser, without any reason. Bulbasaur will not make excuses for its failure. It is a lonely traveler who can accept defeat and let it go.
Xiaozhi looked at Bulbasaur with an indifferent expression, and thought to himself that he had tamed a problem child this time, and he would definitely need psychological counseling in the future.
It was already late at this time, and Xiaozhi was exhausted both physically and mentally from his search for Bulbasaur. Fortunately, he successfully tamed it in the end and was taken to the guest room of the Elf Village by Cui. Xiaozhi looked at the simple solid wooden bed in front of him, put down his luggage, and fell asleep on it not long after lying down.
…
The next day, Xiaozhi washed up in a nearby river and checked his backpack to make sure nothing was missing. He then said goodbye to Xiaocui who was taking care of the Pokémon and continued on his way to Vermillion City.
Along the way, Bulbasaur finally established a good relationship with the other Pokémon in Ash’s team, and got to know what kind of person Ash, who captured it, was.
Xiaozhi ignored the look that Bulbasaur was giving him. He was currently making an energy block suitable for Bulbasaur.
Training elves has never been an easy task. In addition to making the elves complete training every day, you also have to know how to prepare nutritious food. This is not just about making sure they are full. Each elf has different taste preferences, and the process of making energy blocks is also different.
Bulbasaur looked at the plates of energy blocks that Ash made for it and was surprised that humans would go to such lengths for Pokémon.
This person seems to be very different from his previous trainer, Bulbasaur thought as he ate the energy cubes on the ground, swallowed them, then looked up at Satoshi who was making a sandwich.
“Pika, Pikachu! (Xiaozhi, look, is there something on the rock in front!)”
While Pikachu was training, he suddenly saw something burning. Driven by curiosity, he spoke to Xiaozhi who was preparing breakfast for him.
Hearing Pikachu’s call, Xiaozhi stopped what he was doing and looked towards the stone not far away.
It would have been fine if he hadn’t looked at it, but once he did, Xiaozhi was shocked and almost overturned the table full of food. The reason why Xiaozhi was so excited was because of the Pokémon lying on the rock.
In the original book, Charmander was abandoned by his master!
There are not many things that can interest Xiaozhi, except for high-level Pokémon battles and Pokémon that look like dragons.
The dragon attribute is the strongest attribute of all attributes.
Every elf with dragon attributes is extremely powerful and has an extremely arrogant personality. This is ingrained in their bones, even for sub-dragons.
Although Charmander does not have dragon attributes, when it evolves to the final stage, it can complete MEGA evolution with the help of Key Stone and MEGA Evolution Stone. Among them, the X form of MEGA Charizard has dragon attributes.
In his excitement, Xiaozhi saw a lot of information in his sight when he looked at Charmander——
Name: Charmander
Features: Fierce Fire
Attribute: Fire
Information: Abandoned repeatedly by the original owner, but unwilling to accept this fact, still waiting there, extremely talented, with champion potential.
Does this little Charmander also have championship-level potential?
Xiaozhi looked at the information displayed on the system panel and thought that, if nothing unexpected happened, the Squirtle he might meet next would also have the potential to be a champion.
You have to know that Satoshi’s prototype is Crimson in the game, and Crimson’s team also has the Big Three. As a derivative, Satoshi is naturally not much different.
“Pika, Pika? (Xiaozhi, what’s wrong with you?)”
Xiaozhi stared at Charmander in a trance, not saying a word for a long time. Pikachu was puzzled by this, but he also had a guess in his mind…
The owner may have become interested in Charmander.
“This little Charmander seems to be in a bad condition. The flame on its tail is very weak and it looks a little haggard.”
Xiaozhi came back to his senses, slowly took down the table and put it back into his waist bag. The space technology in this world is quite advanced, and even a small waist bag can hold a lot of things.
“Pika, Pikachu. (Indeed, and it looks very thin. Why don’t you share some of my food with it.)”
Xiaozhi gently shook his head at Pikachu’s suggestion. He still had a lot of food, so there was no need for Pikachu to be frugal. “I’ll prepare a special portion of food for it, but the problem now is that the weather looks gloomy. I’m afraid it’s going to rain soon.”
Hearing this, Pikachu looked up and found that just as Xiaozhi said, the sky was covered with a large number of dark clouds, and it was indeed about to rain.
“Pikapi, Pika? (Xiaozhi, what are you going to do, capture it?)” Pikachu had also heard Professor Oak’s muttering in the Oak Laboratory. The fire burning on Charmander’s tail is the fire of life, which will not be extinguished by water, but this is based on the premise that Charmander is in good health.
The Charmander in front of him is visibly weak. If it rains heavily now, the Charmander will probably die. This is something Pikachu does not want to happen.
Xiaozhi also knew this, and at this moment he was thinking about how to persuade this Charmander.
This little Charmander is very stubborn and even if Xiaozhi says that he knows his master, it may not naively believe him.
“Bulbasaur, use hypnotic powder on Charmander.” Xiaozhi’s eyes swept over Bulbasaur that was eating the energy block, and he immediately knew how to persuade it.
Because Charmander was too weak, he did not notice the sleeping powder floating in the air, and fell into a deep sleep after taking a few breaths.
Chapter 020: Tried and Tested (Old Version)
Walking to the sleeping Charmander, Xiaozhi picked it up and headed towards the Pokémon Center not far ahead.
The weather was changeable. When Xiaozhi was halfway through his journey, it suddenly started to rain heavily. Charmander was already weak, not to mention that he was still sleeping.
Xiaozhi quickly took out a raincoat from his backpack, but instead of putting it on himself, he covered Charmander with it.
However, the rain was getting heavier, faster and harder. The raindrops were like pearls falling off a string, and the sound was like a tsunami. The raincoat could no longer help Charmander to shelter from the wind and rain.
The flame on Charmander’s tail became weaker and weaker. Xiaozhi hesitated for a long time and finally took out the Poké Ball and gently touched Charmander’s head.
Xiaozhi didn’t originally want to use this method to tame Charmander. He liked to make the Pokémon convinced after fighting with it, so that there would be no barriers in their future interactions, and their intimacy would naturally increase.
But the weather is too bad now, and Charmander obviously can’t hold on until Ash brings it to the Pokémon Center. This is really a helpless move.
The Poké Ball is equipped with a life support system. As long as the Pokémon stored in it is not in a state where it has only one breath left, it can basically save its life after arriving at the Pokémon Center for treatment.
After running for about thirty minutes, Xiaozhi finally arrived at the Poké Center. He was holding on to the wall and gasping for breath. After he recovered, he immediately walked to the front desk and handed the Poké Ball to Miss Joy.
“Ms. Joy, this elf was already very weak when I found it. Please save it as soon as possible.”
“What? I get it, Jigglypuff, hurry up and take it to the emergency room!”
After taking the Poké Ball handed over by Xiaozhi, Miss Joy turned around and prepared the materials needed for emergency treatment.
Seeing that Charmander was successfully treated, Xiaozhi sat down on the chair to rest with a sigh of relief. However, at this time, he heard a group of children laughing next to him, which made him feel upset.
Xiaozhi would not cause trouble to these kids because of this, but when he heard what they were talking about, he could no longer sit still.
The one called Daisuke was bragging about his Pokémon, which was fine, but when he mentioned that he had abandoned Charmander, Xiaozhi suddenly felt angry, as the other person’s words were no longer unpleasant.
Insulting the little fire dragon that is very loyal to its master, these children kept talking about this topic endlessly, as if saying that it is very stupid for elves to be loyal to their masters.
Xiaozhi took out a bottle of antidote from his backpack and drank it, then threw out the Poké Ball to release Butterfree and let it stay on the spot. Then he walked up to the man named Daisuke, and under his puzzled gaze, he stretched out his arm, clenched into a fist and suddenly punched him in the stomach!
With his abdomen severely injured, Daisuke covered his stomach and vomited stomach acid immediately. He looked at Xiaozhi with an ugly expression, and the younger brothers around him were completely stunned by this sudden situation.
“What the hell are you doing?!”
Dayou didn’t know how he had offended him. Considering that Xiaozhi was well-developed and his height was far beyond his peers, coupled with the extremely cold expression on his face, Dayou was so scared that he didn’t dare to fight back. He could only stand there and say harsh words.
“Can’t you see? I’m standing up for the Charmander that you abandoned, you piece of trash!” After saying that, Xiaozhi turned around and kicked Daisuke in the vitals.
Miss Joy was treating Charmander at the time and could not hear what was happening outside. Or even if she heard it, she had no time to care. Charmander’s condition was very bad and he could die at any time.
Dayou knelt on the ground, covering his lower body and gasping for breath. He clenched his teeth and his face was full of pain.
“How dare you hit Brother Dayou!” Seeing their big brother being treated like this, the younger brothers rushed towards Xiaozhi in indignation, apparently wanting to use the human wave tactic.
Xiaozhi was familiar with various fighting techniques in his previous life. In addition, he has been exercising diligently since childhood in this life. Naturally, his physical fitness is much better than these children who have never suffered.
Seeing this group of little devils rushing towards him, Xiaozhi showed disdain, then picked up a chair and threw it at them, making them scream in pain.
But these little ghosts did not fall down like that. They stood up and rushed towards Xiaozhi again, as if they would not fall down before causing harm to Xiaozhi.
“Brothers, stop now. This guy looks like he’s been trained. Instead of fighting him yourself, why not use your elves to fight him?”
Daisuke suddenly called his subordinates to stop. From the previous fight, he already knew that he could not win against Xiaozhi in a hand-to-hand fight. If he wanted to defeat him, he could only rely on the number of Pokémon.
“Come on, you losers.” Although Xiaozhi believes that there is strength in numbers, this does not mean that a large number of ants can shake a tree.
“Damn, you’re going to regret this!” Dayou distributed the Poké Balls on the table to his companions and used a loophole in the Poké Ball system to remove the restriction that one person could only carry a maximum of six Pokémon.
A white light flashed, and all the elves in Dayou were released. However, these elves were all in the initial stage, and none of them had reached the elite level.
“Are these all the Pokémon you have?” Xiaozhi said calmly, “Oh, that’s all.”
“Defeat them first before you talk big!” Seeing the calm look on Xiaozhi’s face, Dayou couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, could it be that the other party still has some trump cards that he hasn’t used?
In a sense, Dayou really guessed right…
Satoshi could easily release Pidgeot to deal with this group of intermediate-level Pokémon, but doing so would cause serious damage to the Pokémon Center, and Charmander’s healing might be interrupted.
This is also the reason why Xiaozhi drank the antidote and released Butterfree to stand by. Skills that can put the opponent into an abnormal state can often work wonders in team battles, and Xiaozhi has tried this trick many times and it has always worked.
“(Bardalie, paralysis powder.)”
Chapter 021 I am its master (old version)
Under the influence of the paralysis powder, Daisuke, his brothers and the group of Pokémons suddenly stood still and couldn’t move. Daisuke didn’t know why his body suddenly couldn’t move, but when he saw Xiaozhi’s eyes, he had already foreseen his fate.
He would be beaten black and blue by Xiaozhi. If he had known that he would be beaten if he abandoned Charmander, he should have found a deserted place to kill it.
Fortunately, Xiaozhi didn’t know what Dayou was thinking at the moment, otherwise Dayou would not just be beaten black and blue, but in a more serious case, he might even be paralyzed on one side of his body.
Pokémon are creatures with relatively simple minds, and they obey their trainers’ orders unconditionally.
Even if he knows that the trainer’s orders are not in line with common sense and may even lead to his own death, he will still follow them for the sake of his trainer.
When Xiaozhi grabbed Daisuke by the collar and was about to teach him a lesson, he caught a glimpse of the group of Pokémons that were paralyzed and unable to move. Xiaozhi suddenly realized something and stopped to start thinking.
It is impossible for Bardalie’s hypnotic powder to have such a strong effect on elite elves, but this group of intermediate and advanced elves were paralyzed and unable to move at all.
In other words, as long as the strength of the elf is one stage higher than that of the opponent, can the abnormal state achieve the so-called strong control?
No, this is not what I want to think about, but…
Xiaozhi felt that he had grasped the key information, but this information was like a fish swimming flexibly in the water and was completely out of his control.
“That’s enough, you guys stop here!”
Miss Joy had already finished treating Charmander. She walked out of the emergency room and stopped Xiaozhi who was about to teach Daisuke a lesson.
Xiaozhi let go of Daisuke’s collar and let him fall to the ground.
Joey is a large family of nurses and has a lot of say in the entire alliance. This can be seen from the fact that there is a Pokémon Center in every region.
If you offend them, you will never be able to receive treatment at the Pokémon Center in your life. From Alliance members to gangsters and corporate bosses, everyone has to be in awe of them. Even Xiaozhi has to give Miss Joy some face.
“Who started it first?!”
Miss Joy put her hands on her hips and looked quite angry. The Elf Center was not a place where lawless people could do whatever they wanted.
“Ms. Joy, he was the first to attack. You must not let him go.” After seeing Miss Joy, Dayou and his group pointed at Xiaozhi and pretended to cry. Their acting skills made Xiaozhi ashamed.
“Is what they said true?” Miss Joy asked Xiaozhi. Due to his action of escorting Charmander, she didn’t think that Xiaozhi would be the first to take action.
“Yes, I was the one who hit him.”
Xiaozhi admitted straightforwardly: “This scumbag named Daisuke abandoned Charmander. I couldn’t stand what he did, so I took action.”
“I just don’t understand. There are so many people in the world who have abandoned elves, why do you have to fight me?” Dayou was confident because Miss Joy was standing next to him.
“If you had released the elves, I would naturally not have troubled you, but you deceived Charmander and told it to stay there and not leave. Do you know that if you didn’t pick it up, it would have waited for you there until it died!”
Xiaozhi grabbed Daisuke by the collar again, his eyes as ferocious as a Rakshasa.
“I wish that trash would die sooner, and I’ve already released Charmander, so who are you to come and cause trouble for me!” Daisuke pushed Xiaozhi’s hand away and patted his clothes.
“I’m its new owner, and I’ve come here specifically to teach you, the scumbag predecessor, a lesson.” As soon as he finished speaking, all of Ash’s Poké Balls opened automatically.
“Danai!” Bulbasaur seemed to be touched by Satoshi’s words. After shouting at Daisuke who abandoned Charmander, a dazzling white light immediately appeared on its body.
Bulbasaur was also abandoned by its trainer because it was too weak. It already had the conditions to evolve, but it just wanted to prove that it could become stronger through the initial stage, so it has been unwilling to evolve.
Xiaozhi’s words just happened to untie the knot in Bulbasaur’s heart. Why did it want to prove itself to its scumbag ex-boyfriend? Did it want the trainer to change his mind?
That would be too humble, it’s not some bootlicker elf.
The white light dissipated, and Bulbasaur appeared in front of everyone. The seeds on its back grew into pink buds. Four green leaves shaped like banana leaves grew from the base of the buds, opening in a cross shape.
The electric sac on Pikachu’s cheek released a slight electric current, and the other Pokémon on Xiaozhi’s body also made threats, which frightened Daisuke and the others.
Miss Joy hurriedly walked up to Xiaozhi. Through their conversation, Miss Joy already understood what was going on. She didn’t mind if Daisuke and his group got taught a lesson, but for using Pokémon to attack unarmed humans, Xiaozhi might lose his qualifications as a trainer.
“Take your elf and get out of here.”
Miss Joy returned Charmander’s Poké Ball to Ash. She knew that although what Ash did was a just thing, this kind of thing must not be made a big deal.
Xiaozhi took the Poké Ball from Charmander. He looked at the boys whose legs were trembling and he no longer had the mood to teach them a lesson. Anyway, it felt pretty good to kick Daisuke in the vitals before. It was a pity that he didn’t give each of these kids a kick that would make them exterminate their descendants.
It was raining heavily outside, and Ash walked out of the Pokemon Center nonchalantly. Pikachu climbed onto Ash’s shoulder skillfully, and Bulbasaur and the others followed behind him in a mighty manner.
Xiaozhi raised his head and looked at the dark night, letting the rain hit his face, as if this would calm his restless heart.
“Pikachu, do you think I’m not managing my emotions well enough?”
Xiaozhi suddenly asked.
In this world, there are trainers who abandon weak Pokémon every day, and there are Pokémon who abandon incompetent trainers. He is not the kind of person who believes in the saying “There are no weak Pokémon, only incompetent trainers.”
If a battle is lost, both the trainer and the Pokémon are at fault, just to different degrees of severity. It is shameful to try to absolve one party of responsibility.
“Pika, Pika, Pika. (Maybe, but from the perspective of Pokémon, I think what you did was absolutely right, Xiaozhi.)”
Chapter 022: Angry to Evolution (Old Version)
It was already early morning of the next day. Xiaozhi put the tent and sleeping bag back into his waist bag, then walked to an empty place and threw out all the Poké Balls on his body.
Charmander slept so soundly yesterday that he had no idea what had happened, nor did he know that he had been captured by Satoshi.
Xiaozhi felt that he needed to explain the details to Charmander, otherwise it would be bad if this loyal Charmander misunderstood something.
“Gah! (Where is this place?)”
The little dragon looked around and suddenly panicked when he found that his master was not around.
“Calm down.” Xiaozhi held Charmander’s shoulder, looked directly into its eyes, and said seriously, “I know you are panicking now, but can you listen to me and finish what I have to say, Charmander?”
There seemed to be a soothing power in Xiaozhi’s voice. After hearing it, Charmander really calmed down and stared at Xiaozhi with its watery eyes wide open.
“Very good, good boy.” Xiaozhi smiled and rubbed Charmander’s head. At the same time, he brought out a bowl of spicy energy cubes that fire-attribute Pokémon liked to eat and placed it in front of Charmander as a reward.
When Charmander saw the energy block in front of it, it sniffed it warily at first, then looked up and saw that Satoshi made a gesture to allow it to eat, then it started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
After being abandoned, the little dragon had not had a good meal for a long time. Usually, it ate fruits from trees to fill its stomach.
So after swallowing the fruit, tears actually flashed in the corners of the little dragon’s eyes, but it was strong and tried hard to stop crying.
“Well, let’s get down to business now.” Xiaozhi gently stroked Charmander’s back, “Charmander, your master has abandoned you. You are my Pokémon now…”
“Ga Ne! (You’re lying! My master will never abandon me!)” Before Xiaozhi could finish his words, Charmander turned around and clawed at Xiaozhi’s arm.
The sharp claws instantly tore Xiaozhi’s skin, causing him to bleed bright red. The air was filled with the smell of rust.
Xiaozhi is not an actor on variety shows. He will not scream because of a skin cut. He treated the wound on his arm as nothing and even had a smile on his face, as if praising the sharpness of Charmander’s claws.
“Do you still believe in your master? You are such a loyal little dragon. But after being abandoned by him so many times, I think with your intelligence you should have realized that something is wrong.”
“Ga Ne! (Don’t insult my master!)” Charmander wanted to spit out flames at Satoshi, but when it thought about eating the food prepared by Satoshi, it immediately stopped the idea of ​​spitting out flames and instead bit Satoshi’s arm hard.
I have to say, Charmander’s teeth are quite sharp.
Although Xiaozhi felt the pain in his arm, he did not vent it by shouting, but just frowned slightly.
Blood continued to drip onto the ground, and the smell of rust in the air became stronger and stronger. Xiaozhi stopped the other Pokémon from stepping forward and continued to provide psychological counseling to Charmander.
“Okay, I know you may not be able to accept this fact for a while, but you have to remember that you are my elf now, understand?”
“Ga Ne. (Um, thank you for taking care of me. I’m going back to find my master.)” Charmander pushed the plate full of energy cubes in front of Satoshi, bowed slightly to him, and turned to leave.
To be honest, when Xiaozhi saw Charmander getting ready to leave, he felt really chilled at that moment.
“Hoo-hoo! (No, I can’t help it!)”
Bulbasaur broke free from the obstruction of other Pokémons, rushed to Charmander, and under its puzzled gaze, suddenly stretched out its vine whip and hit Charmander in the face: “Huxi! Huxi?! (Fuck you! What’s so good about your scumbag master? You just like being a dog-licking Pokémon so much!)”
Charmander covered his swollen cheek and glared at Bulbasaur: “Gah! (What did you say! Say it again if you dare!)”
“Hoo-hi! Hu-hi?! (I say! What’s so good about your scumbag master? You just like being a bootlicker!)” Bulbasaur said, and stretched out the vine whip again to hit Charmander’s cheek.
Bulbasaur’s behavior completely angered Charmander.
Charmander recalled that after it lost to the Mosquito Repellent, it was abandoned by its master because of its own weak strength. However, it was unwilling to believe this fact in its heart. The anger and powerlessness made Charmander’s body emit a dazzling white light on the spot!
Xiaozhi looked at Charmander with some surprise. He didn’t expect Charmander to evolve because of Bulbasaur’s insults. He also didn’t know if Charmander would be disobedient after evolving without a good emotional foundation.
Even if the evolved Charmander is disobedient, Ash has a way to deal with it. He can choose to fight it one-on-one or in a group, and use excellent command to defeat it.
Xiaozhi will become strict when dealing with Pokémon that have evolved once.
Elves are different from humans. Besides taking time to mature, the biggest way to improve their mental age is through evolution. This is why the personalities of elves are different before and after evolution; their minds have matured.
Compared to Charmander, Charmeleon’s skin color has become darker and his eyes are brighter.
A horn grew on the top of the Charmeleon’s head, and its mouth became pointed, a bit like a bird’s beak. Its limbs and tail were longer than Charmander’s, its claws were longer and sharper, and flames were still burning at the end of its tail.
After Charmander finished evolving, Bulbasaur immediately stretched out its whip and hit Charmeleon on the face. The crisp sound moved all the Pokémon present.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Bulbasaur and Charmeleon were in complete conflict, and the two would never be able to get along well in this lifetime.
Xiaozhi has reservations about the fighting between Pokémon. The Pokémon of a trainer need to fight each other, so that their strength will be improved and their relationship will become closer. As long as they can distinguish the situation, it doesn’t matter how they fight on a daily basis.
When Xiaozhi came to the table and was about to prepare food for the Pokémon, he suddenly found that the food on the table was gone.
Chapter 023: Turtle in a Jar (Old Version)
The thrown away food had not been processed, but Xiaozhi did not feel sorry about it, as there were still many cans of food in his backpack. However, since the thief dared to steal from him, he needed to take care of it.
Seeing that Xiaozhi’s face turned gloomy, Pikachu climbed onto his shoulder and was about to ask what happened when it suddenly discovered that the food in its bowl was missing.
“Pika! (Which bastard stole Honcho’s ketchup!)”
Pikachu, who is a foodie, was immediately furious. The thief not only stole his food, but also took away his favorite ketchup.
Hearing the roar of the big brother in the team, Pidgeot and the others instantly came to Xiaozhi’s side.
Even Bulbasaur and Charmeleon, who were fighting fiercely, just looked at each other after hearing the words and instantly reached a truce agreement.
Ash looked at Charmeleon who had integrated into the group and knew that it had recognized Bulbasaur, which was indirectly a recognition of him as its trainer. The mature Charmeleon had completely given up on its previous master.
Noticing Xiaozhi’s gaze towards him, Charmeleon’s expression suddenly became awkward, like a child who had done something wrong.
Just a few minutes ago, when it was still Charmander, it naively hurt the trainer who saved its life. Charmander didn’t know how it should behave when getting along with Satoshi.
What Charmeleon didn’t know was that Ash didn’t take the matter to heart at all.
Without paying attention to Charmeleon’s actions, Xiaozhi stroked his chin and wondered who stole the food. The most likely culprits were the wild Pokémon.
At this time, Xiaozhi found the footprints of the elves on the wet ground. He couldn’t help but thank the heavy rain yesterday, and squatted down to observe the appearance of the footprints.
Since he had worked as a handyman for Professor Oak for several years, Xiaozhi was very familiar with the data of Pokémon, so he guessed the identities of those Pokémon at a glance.
Squirtle, one of the three starter Pokémons in the Kanto region, is famous for his honesty and longevity.
Now that we know which Pokémon stole the food, it will be easy to find it. Xiaozhi activated the wave’s perception ability, and a group of Pokémon led by Pikachu immediately began to search.
The flying Pidgeot was the first to discover Squirtle’s location. Being loyal, it did not act on its own, but returned to Ash to report.
After getting the location of Squirtle, Xiaozhi called back the other Pokémon he was still looking for and led them towards Squirtle.
The Squirrels who stole the food were not very vigilant and did not seem to think that Ash would be able to find them. After eating and drinking, they lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
Xiaozhi pushed aside the bushes and scanned the data of these Squirtles wearing sunglasses——
Name: Squirtle
Features: Torrent
Attribute: Water
Information: After being abandoned by his original owner, due to his outstanding leadership ability, he gathered those equally abandoned Squirtles to form an army, causing all kinds of troubles to the people in the town. He is extremely talented and has the potential to be a champion.
These are the statistics of the leader of the Squirtle Corps. The remaining Squirtle Corps are slightly less talented and their potential is not as high as that of the boss.
“There are five Squirtles in total. Each of you pick one to deal with. Be careful not to let them run away.” Xiaozhi looked at the Squirtles who were snoring like thunder and thought that now was a good opportunity to practice: “Charmeleon, you will listen to my command later and deal with the leader who has sunglasses that are different from the other Squirtles.”
Charmeleon nodded. Its strength increased dramatically after its evolution. It felt that this group of Squirtles were nothing special and only the leader was worthy of being its opponent.
Simply put, Charmeleon expanded.
After the other Pokémons had chosen their opponents, Charmeleon walked up to the Squirtle leader arrogantly, stretched out his claws and hit Squirtle on the cheek.
Bang——!
The snoring Squirtle woke up instantly. It covered the slap mark on its cheek and looked at Charmeleon in a daze.
Squirtle was still half asleep at this time. He didn’t notice the situation on the field and asked Charmeleon: “Squirtle! (Why did you hit me?)”
“Zahdong! (Blood frog, it made me realize my habit of slapping people!)” Charmeleon grinned, and then slapped the unconscious Squirtle!
Squirtle finally woke up and found that his fellow soldiers were in a tough fight and the Squirtle Army was trapped.
“Charmeleon, use Flame Jet!”
After receiving Ash’s order, Charmeleon used his flamethrower without hesitation. The scorching heat made Squirtle feel like he had come to a volcanic area filled with magma.
Looking at the jet of flame coming towards his head, Squirtle quickly retracted his body into his shell to avoid the aggressive fire python.
Charmeleon raised his eyelids slightly, as if surprised at Squirtle’s reaction speed, but it had also thought of a way to deal with this turtle, using continuous jets of flames at its shell.
Feeling the residual warmth on the shell, Squirtle realized that he couldn’t hide in the shell forever unless he wanted to become a turtle barbecue.
Squirtle suddenly had an idea, and it retracted its body into its shell and began to spin rapidly, splitting the blazing jets of flame like a top, and attacked Charmeleon with unstoppable force.
“Charmeleon, use Fire Vortex to control it.”
Originally, Ash wanted Charmeleon to catch Squirtle, but when he noticed Charmeleon’s claws, he gave up the idea.
Charmeleon’s claws are fine for stabbing, but it would be too much of a stretch and unrealistic to expect it to catch a Squirtle that’s spinning at high speed.
The fire tornado that shot up into the sky swept towards Squirtle, engulfing the leaves and burning more and more vigorously, instantly controlling the Squirtle that was attacking this side.
Squirtle had never thought that this would happen, and because of the high temperature, it quickly stretched out its head and limbs to dissipate the heat, but was burned by the flames and kept spinning around, losing its ability to fight.
Chapter 024: Pretending to be rich (Old Version)
Seeing Squirtle’s eyes burning with mosquito coils, Xiaozhi quickly took out the burn medicine from his backpack and applied it on its body.
The power of the previous fire tornado was devastating. If Squirtle hadn’t been given the potion to heal the burns in time, the rest of his life would probably have been ruined.
Xiaozhi has taken a fancy to this Squirtle, who will be the main force of the team in the future, so how can he let it suffer any sequelae?
Of course, in addition to wanting to tame this Squirtle, Xiaozhi has another idea, which is to make the three starter Pokémons restrain each other.
The temperament of the elves will gradually change as their strength increases. This is inevitable. In order to prevent the elves from becoming arrogant, the importance of a good opponent can be reflected at this time.
Just as Xiaozhi was thinking this, the other Pokémon in the team had already subdued the Squirtle Army.
When the Squirtle Army saw Ash applying medicine to their boss’s wounds, they knew that the human in front of them was not a bad person.
Because the potions used were of high quality, Squirtle woke up quickly. When it saw its brothers and Xiaozhi getting along happily, it was instantly stunned…
What happened? Was I being played?
“Squirtle, now that you’re awake, let me count your sins.” Xiaozhi touched Squirtle’s head with an extremely kind tone.
Feeling the hands above his head, Squirtle shuddered subconsciously. The timid Squirtle was planning to retreat into his shell immediately, but he found that his younger brothers were all looking at him, the big brother, so he had no choice but to put on a brave face.
“Johnny! (If you have anything to say, come to me. Don’t embarrass my little brother!)”
“In other words, do you admit that you are the principal offender?”
Xiaozhi stopped stroking it and patted its head: “You are brave enough to take responsibility. You are a qualified leader.”
Squirtle’s heart kept beating. The pressure released from Ash made it breathless. He was like the Chief Judge sitting in the bench, intimidating without even getting angry.
Even its previous trainers did not have as strong aura as Ash. It is hard to imagine that the gap between people can be so huge.
“Why do you want to steal food?” Xiaozhi removed the aura brought by the wave power and asked, “Do you hate humans? Or can’t compete with those wild Pokémon? Or is it because of something else?”
“Jenny. (Both points. We haven’t had a meal for a long time.)” Squirtle looked into Ash’s eyes and said.
“The food you eat is very expensive. As the leader of the Squirtle Army, how are you going to compensate?”
Xiaozhi did not deceive Squirtle with these words. Although the berries and Pokémon food were not worth much money, the energy blocks made by him were all of top quality.
If you sell it in the market, as long as you meet someone who knows the value of it, you may not make a fortune, but at least you will have enough food and clothing.
“Johnny? (Can you tell me exactly how much it costs?)”
Squirtle has been in human society for a long time and knows that some things may look ordinary on the outside but are ridiculously expensive.
“Well, I can’t afford the compensation even if I sell you. If you are willing to become my Pokémon, Squirtle, then this bill can be written off.” Xiaozhi placed the Poké Ball in front of Squirtle and waited for its answer.
After hearing what Xiaozhi said, Squirtle turned to look at his brothers, closing his eyes as if he had fallen into silence.
They were all abandoned by their trainers. Although the ways in which they met were different, after sharing joys and sorrows for so long, the relationship between them has long been like that of brothers.
“Jenny? (Um, can you conquer all of us?)” Squirtle asked tentatively. It couldn’t abandon its little brothers.
Xiaozhi looked at Squirtle’s eyes and knew that if he didn’t agree to it, Squirtle would not go with him.
When it comes to capturing Pokémon, Xiaozhi completely depends on his mood and fate. He will not capture duplicates and will only choose the best Pokémon of the same type. Therefore, Xiaozhi struggled in his mind for a long time.
Xiaozhi cast his eyes on the group of pitiful Squirtles and sighed: “Forget it, you should be obedient after you are teleported back.”
The reason why Xiaozhi captured them was because he thought of his mother Hanako.
Hanako doesn’t have any hobbies or interests. Actually, it’s not quite accurate to say that. Satoshi was once scolded by Hanako for a long time because he accidentally stepped on the plants in the backyard. Since then, Satoshi never went to the backyard of his home again.
However, it was a blessing in disguise, as Xiaozhi got to know Hanako’s interests and hobbies. In his spare time, he planted flowers and grass and watched them grow.
It’s just that Hanako spends too much time on plants every day, and Xiaozhi hopes that his mother can relax and do something she likes.
This group of water-attributed Squirtles can help water the plants and reduce Hanako’s burden, so they can be raised as pets.
After giving the Squirtles repeated instructions, Ash took out the Poké Ball and gently touched it on their heads.
Including the leader Squirtle, Ash now has six Pokémon on him. The Poké Balls of the captured Squirtle Army are locked. Ash presses the button on the pokédex to transfer the Poké Balls to Professor Oak.
The illustrated encyclopedia does not have the function of communicating with Professor Oak. If you want to explain the specific situation to Professor Oak, you can only use the videophone at the Pokémon Center.
Xiaozhi took out the Pokémon Gear from his pocket and wanted to see where the nearest Pokémon Center was, but he found a facility nearby called Zhenghui Lighthouse, which might have a videophone with the function of teleporting Pokémons.
With this thought in mind, Xiaozhi headed towards the Zhenghui Lighthouse, and along the way he spent his time training Pokémon and counseling them on their psychological problems.
It is worth mentioning that Squirtle works very hard during training.
It seems that as a water-attribute Pokémon, Squirtle feels very embarrassed about losing to Charmeleon, so he trains so hard.
Chapter 025 Zhenghui Lighthouse (Old Version)
Name: Giant Crab
Features: Super Power Pliers
Information: Born in the Kanto Sea, he was rejected by his tribe because he was not warlike, which indirectly led to his stunted development. He has average talent and potential at the quasi-king level.
On the way to Zhenghui Lighthouse, Xiaozhi passed by a golden beach. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the Giant Clawed Crab under his feet and planned to send out Squirtle to practice.
As an opponent, this giant crab is not qualified.
Xiaozhi mainly wants to help Squirtle with his psychological problems through this battle. This kid’s recent performance is really not very good.
He fought against Charmeleon, but because Charmeleon had already evolved once, Squirtle, who only had intermediate strength, was completely defeated by Charmeleon.
Butterfree and Pidgeot, these two Pokémon are in their final forms, and their strength is simply beyond the reach of an unevolved Squirtle.
As for Pikachu and Bulbasaur, they both have the advantage in attributes and can suppress Squirtle completely.
Squirtle understood one thing after a series of failures: he had no hope of becoming a leader in the Squirtle Army in this team in this lifetime.
Since you can’t become a Big Brother-level figure, what’s the point of working hard? You might as well just lie down.
Simply put, Squirtle is autistic.
“Squirtle, you can’t use water-attribute moves against that Giant Crab. You can only use physical attacks.” Xiaozhi said to the Squirtle who was in a dull state.
“Squirtle? (Why?)” Squirtle looked at Ash in confusion. It didn’t understand the meaning of this command.
“When you evolve into Blastoise in the future, your special attacks will become quite powerful, but in contrast, your physical attacks will become very weak. In order to avoid being at a disadvantage in future battles, Squirtle, you must lay a good foundation now.”
Xiaozhi half-knelt down, looked directly into Squirtle’s eyes, and gently patted its head: “I have high expectations of you! Don’t let me down, Squirtle.”
It turns out that Xiaozhi has quite a bit of experience in counseling the psychology of Pokémon.
When Squirtle saw that Xiaozhi actually chose to squat down to communicate with him, he already knew that Xiaozhi treated them as equals to humans.
“Jenny! (I understand, I will defeat the Giant Claw!)” Squirtle came out of his decadent state and his eyes changed.
“Squirtle, use impact on Crawl.” Xiaozhi stretched out his hand to command.
As soon as he finished speaking, Squirtle spread his short legs and rushed towards the giant crab quickly, raising a lot of sand along the way.
The flying sand blocked the crab’s vision. Although the crab could hear the sound of Squirtle running towards it, it could not see where it was.
“Jenny!”
With a loud bang, the foaming giant crab was knocked into the sea by Squirtle. However, it refused to admit defeat and crawled over with difficulty, as if it was indomitable.
Inspired by the giant crab’s determination to never give up until it is defeated, Squirtle decides to fight back with all his strength.
“Squirtle, use the Rocket Hammer to defeat the opponent.”
Squirtle retracted its limbs into its shell as quickly as possible, and at the same time, it spun its body rapidly, attacking the giant crab that was crawling towards it, waving its claws.
The giant crab seized the opportunity, stretched out its claws and grabbed the Squirtle that was spinning at high speed.
However, Squirtle, who had retracted into his shell, gathered all his strength and when the Giant Claw Crab let down its guard, he suddenly stretched out his head and hit it hard.
After this attack, the giant crab lost its ability to fight on the spot.
Xiaozhi walked over to the giant crab with burning eyes and applied medicine on it. After all, he was the one who started this battle, and it was reasonable for Xiaozhi to treat the giant crab.
“Kuai-chi?! (Where is that bastard? Come and die!)” After waking up, the giant crab waved its claws and yelled.
“Calm down, calm down first. Let’s talk it over.” Xiaozhi comforted the calm, “Squirtle is my Pokémon. I ordered it to attack you.”
“Kuai-tsing?! (You? I have no interest in you as a trainer. Hurry up and call that turtle to me!)” The giant crab clenched its claws, quite threateningly.
Is this giant crab stubborn?
Xiaozhi complained in his heart that he didn’t intend to continue wasting his precious time on this giant crab, and ran towards the nearby Zhenghui Lighthouse.
When Crabcrab saw Xiaozhi turn around and run away, it thought that he was trying to protect its Squirtle. The furious Crabcrab followed Xiaozhi and also headed towards the Zhenghui Lighthouse.
Dr. Masaaki, whose full name is Sonezaki Masaaki, is an elf researcher who lives somewhere on the seashore between Cerulean City and Vermilion City, and his hometown is Manjin City.
Its most famous work is the Elf Teleportation System!
He invented the elf transporting system together with several like-minded friends. At the same time, he also collected a large number of common and precious elves. Therefore, people called him an elf fanatic.
Xiaozhi came to the facade of Zhenghui Lighthouse, looked at the elf pattern engraved on the door, and couldn’t help but complain about the quirks of Zhenghui, the researcher.
Xiaozhi rang the doorbell next to him.
“Finally someone is here!” The voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn’t had water for a long time. Xiaozhi could hear the joy of being rescued from it.
“Hello, I’m from Pallet Town…”
“No need to introduce yourself. Can you please go into the lighthouse quickly? I’m in a little trouble.” Zhenghui added, “It’s not a big deal. You can take care of your business and come back to me.”
With a creaking sound, the door slowly opened. Xiaozhi looked at the dark room and asked Pikachu on his shoulder to use Flash.
Xiaozhi walked in slowly and came to the video phone.
Since Masaaki himself was not in a hurry, Xiaozhi naturally started to do his own thing first. He called Professor Oak and asked him to hand Squirtle over to his mother Hanako.
Chapter 026 The Vengeful Crab (Old Version)
“Anyway, that’s what happened.”
Xiaozhi bowed deeply to Professor Oak on the other end of the videophone and said, “Professor Oak, please give the Squirtle and their Poké Balls to my mother.”
“I see.” Professor Oak nodded. “But by the way, Xiaozhi, why have you only captured so many Pokémon? Xiaomao has captured forty-five Pokémon so far. Your number is really a bit shabby.”
“The fate has not yet arrived. Unless those elves are willing to follow me, I will only conquer the ones I like.” Xiaozhi said calmly. Although he takes the elite and quantity route, he will never conquer them randomly.
“Well, since you said so, Xiaozhi, I can’t force you to change your mind.”
Professor Oak put down the instant noodles in his hand and looked at Xiaozhi with a hint of helplessness. It can be seen that he has high expectations for Xiaozhi.
“I’ll come see you if I need anything, Doctor. Bye then.”
Xiaozhi hung up the video call. He wanted to leave Zhenghui Lighthouse, but suddenly he remembered that Zhenghui still needed his help with something, so he went back to the room.
Walking deeper into the lighthouse, Xiaozhi felt that the lighthouse was a bit empty, and he didn’t know where Zhenghui and the others were.
As the lights came on, Xiaozhi subconsciously looked up and found a fossil-helmeted puppet on the chair in front of him. It looked quite huge and could easily fit a person inside.
“Mr. Zhenghui, I didn’t expect you to have a fetish.” Feeling the wave guide inside the puppet, Xiaozhi teased.
“Hey, young man, can you help me press this button?” Zhenghui said awkwardly, “I’m trapped inside this puppet and can’t get out.”
Xiaozhi walked forward and found that there was a red button on the belly of the Fossil Helmet Doll. It was indeed difficult to touch it without damaging the Fossil Helmet Doll.
Xiaozhi gently pressed the button, and the fossil helmet doll began to fall off gradually, and a young man crawled out from it.
“Hello, my name is Zhenghui, and I’m the owner of this lighthouse.” Zhenghui shook Xiaozhi’s hand gratefully, “Young man, were you talking to Professor Oak just now?”
“Right. And my name is Xiaozhi.”
Zhenghui memorized this name in his heart. As a developer of the elf transmission system, few people could gain his friendship.
“By the way, Xiaozhi, do you want to see this unique Pokémon in the world?” Zhenghui explained, “In order to attract that Pokémon, I have made all the necessary preparations. As my savior, Xiaozhi, you are qualified to witness its arrival with me.”
“The only Pokémon in this world?” Xiaozhi muttered this sentence softly, thinking that what Zhenghui said was just a gimmick.
“Yes.” Zhenghui walked in front and led the way, “But before that, Xiaozhi, you come with me to the outside of the lighthouse, otherwise we can’t see its appearance clearly.”
Coming outside the lighthouse, Zhenghui took out the machine he used to attract the elf. As the machine continued to make sounds, a huge figure appeared on the sea in the distance.
As the silhouette became clearer and clearer, a sad dragon roar appeared in the ears of Xiaozhi and Zhenghui.
Looking at the figure on the sea, Xiaozhi suddenly realized something, and his curiosity to see the mysterious elf was gradually dispelled by fear.
Xiaozhi looked at Zhenghui and found that he was completely immersed in the dragon roar.
“Mr. Zhenghui, I already know the identity of that Pokémon. Turn off the voice generator quickly before it gets angry.” Xiaozhi shouted anxiously.
Although he didn’t know why Xiaozhi was so excited, Zhenghui still turned off the machine.
The giant Dragonite found that the voice calling it had disappeared, so it shouted towards the shore a few times, but when there was no response, it had to return to the sea.
When the giant Dragonite returned to the sea, Xiaozhi took a deep breath and said, “That was a close call. I almost died.”
“Xiaozhi, why do you want me to turn off the sounder? It’s obviously getting closer.” Zhenghui asked puzzledly.
“Mr. Masaaki, have you ever heard of Dynamax? That was a Dragonite that could maintain Dynamax permanently. If that Dragonite came here and found that the voice calling it was made by a machine, we might die here.”
After hearing what Xiaozhi said, Zhenghui realized that he had just been to the gates of hell and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Early the next morning, Xiaozhi washed up, packed his things, said goodbye to Zhenghui and continued on his way to Vermilion City. This was how things should have been.
“Human, call your Squirtle out! I want to fight it to the death!”
Outside the Zhenghui Lighthouse, the giant crab has been waiting for a long time.
Xiaozhi looked down at the familiar giant crab, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncomfortably. He didn’t expect that the stunted giant crab from yesterday would follow him here.
I really don’t know whether I should admire its amazing perseverance or say that it is stubborn.
“Pikachu. (This giant crab seems to be holding a grudge.)” Pikachu jumped off Satoshi’s shoulder and circled around the giant crab.
Crabcrab is not afraid of the electric-attribute Pikachu at all. Its eyes are fixed on the Poké Ball on Ash’s belt, looking for the location of Squirtle.
“Kuai-tsz! (You bastard, hiding in a Poké Ball is nothing, come out and compete with your Grandpa Crab!)”
The crab’s claws made a crisp sound.
Pikachu burst out laughing upon hearing this, mainly because the crab’s tone was so funny, and it didn’t hear any malice in the words.
“Stop laughing, we still have to hurry.” Xiaozhi said in a cold voice. He had wasted too much time on the way here, and he didn’t know when he could collect all the badges of Kanto.
“Human, wait a minute!” The crab called out to stop Xiaozhi.
“If you have something to say, please tell me now.”
Hearing the impatience in Xiaozhi’s voice, the crab pleaded: “Quot! (Please subdue me, I want to become stronger and defeat that turtle!)”
Chapter 027 Mysterious Elf Egg (Old Version)
Xiaozhi did not refuse the request of the giant crab.
It is very rare for a Pokémon to be willing to follow a trainer, so Xiaozhi doesn’t mind having an extra partner.
Even if the Pokémon that follow him have no potential, Xiaozhi will not abandon them. After all, it doesn’t cost much for him to raise one more.
Moreover, although the potential of the giant crab is only at the quasi-king level, when it evolves into the giant crab, it has a super-giant form.
Xiaozhi still doesn’t know whether this giant crab is a special individual that can grow to Gigantamax. Even if it is not, Xiaozhi has a way to solve this problem.
The Galar region is famous for its Dynamaxing, and there is a Dynamax Soup that allows Pokémon that were originally unable to Dynamax to become Dynamaxable.
The one who monopolizes the resources of the Gigantamax Soup is the former champion of the Galar League, Ma Shide, also known as Teacher Ma in the world.
At worst, when Ash travels to the Galar region in the future, he can shamelessly go find that old man Mashid. There’s nothing shameful about doing it for his own Pokémon.
“We’ve finally arrived at Vermilion City.” Xiaozhi said lightly as he gazed at the city in the distance.
Vermilion City is a city located at the southern entrance of the Kanto region. It is also an important port serving ships such as the Saint Annu, the Water Flow, and the Sea Flame Horse.
The Santianu is a world-famous luxury cruise ship that travels around the world and stops at Vermilion City in the Kanto region once a year.
The Shuiliu is a ferry that operates between the Kanto region and the Chengdu region. It travels between Vermilion City and Asahi City and is one of the important ships connecting the two regions.
The Sea Flamehorse is a sailing ship between Kanto and the Seven Islands. Apart from Kanto Ice King and Kona’s hometown, the most famous place on the Seven Islands is the Trainer’s Tower!
In addition to the port, Vermilion City also has a Pokémon Fans Club.
Audiophile clubs are an institution that exists all over the world, with each region having anywhere from one to ten.
The club mainly organizes some gatherings for people who love Pokémon to talk about their favorite Pokémons. Most of them are not trainers, but coordinators. Compared with the League Conference, they prefer the Grand Contest.
“Pikapi, Pika? (Ash, what’s wrong with you?)” Not long after entering Vermilion City, Pikachu looked at Ash, who had a bad face, and asked with some confusion.
“It’s okay, I just feel a little chilly.”
Xiaozhi rubbed his palms. He didn’t know why, but his body temperature had dropped drastically since he entered this city. It was as if the cold air was approaching, making him feel like he was cursed by something.
“Pika, Pika? (Ash, you’re not catching a cold or having a fever, are you?)”
“Pikachu, what nonsense are you talking about?” Xiaozhi looked at it strangely, “I have such a good physique, how could I catch a cold or have a fever?”
Seeing this, Pikachu was speechless. I’m concerned about you, so what’s with your idiotic look?
“Okay, let’s go to the Pokémon Center.”
Just as Xiaozhi finished saying this, a breeze blew by, and he keenly sensed the waveguide hidden in the airflow.
He looked around.
“Pika, Pika? (Xiaozhi, what’s wrong again?)”
Xiaozhi stopped walking, with an uncertain look on his face, as if he was confused: “I feel like someone is calling me.”
“Pika? Pikachu. (Who’s calling you? But there’s no one around here.)” Pikachu said, looking around but seeing nothing.
“But I did hear someone calling me.”
Xiaozhi explained: “It’s just that he didn’t call me by voice, but by waveguide. The location seems to be in the Pokémon Center, let’s go and take a look.”
“Pickup truck. (Okay.)”
When we arrived at the Pokémon Center, Miss Joy and Chanel were busy at work.
Xiaozhi handed Pikachu and the others to Miss Joy for treatment. At this time, he felt the waves coming from the air again and walked towards the direction where the waves came from.
A few minutes later, he stopped in front of the door of the elf egg breeding room.
He pushed open the door and saw many incubators in the room, with eggs emitting a strong vitality.
However, what interested Xiaozhi the most was a blue and white egg. This egg was no different from the other eggs, except that it had electrode wires for observing electrocardiograms.
At this time, Miss Joy walked in. She was stunned when she saw Xiaozhi, but she didn’t show too much surprise. She probably thought he was a trainer who broke in by mistake.
“Miss Joy, why is this egg connected to a string?”
Xiaozhi asked.
Normally, elf eggs are protected by laws when they are born. Although they cannot avoid being attacked by predators in the food chain, as long as they are not destroyed maliciously, they will be able to successfully hatch life in the end.
But now there are electrode wires attached to the egg for observing electrocardiogram, which means that something unexpected has happened to the egg, such as it has not hatched after a long time.
“This child was entrusted to me by the breeding house.” Miss Joy came to the breeding chamber, “It’s a very incredible egg. Why…”
Before Miss Joy could finish her words, the blue and white egg suddenly shook twice, broke free from the electrode wires attached to its body, and rolled to Xiaozhi who was standing in front of the glass of the incubator.
Watching this, Miss Joy suddenly suggested, “Can I give this egg to you, Xiaozhi, for safekeeping?”
“Um?”
“This is an egg that was found in the Sinnoh region, but for some reason it could not be hatched. It passed through many breeding houses and finally came here.”
When Miss Joy said this, she couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. She thought that this Pokémon egg must be waiting for Xiaozhi, which is why it remained in the shape of an egg for a long time and refused to hatch.
To some extent, Miss Joy was right, because this is Xiaozhi’s companion Pokémon…
To be precise, it should be considered as the scroll family.
“Please, Xiaozhi.” Miss Joy asked again, “Please take care of this egg.”
“Yes, I will.”
Xiaozhi squatted in front of the breeding chamber and said softly: “My name is Xiaozhi, please give me your guidance.”
Chapter 028 Lucky or Unlucky (Old Version)
After Xiaozhi obtained the Pokémon Egg, he did not rush to challenge the Dead Leaf Gym. Instead, he rented a room in the Pokémon Center and took care of the Pokémon Egg while having lunch.
While eating the trainer meal at the Pokémon Center, Xiaozhi felt that the meal tasted a bit bland, so he took out some seasoning and sprinkled it on top.
I don’t know if it was because Xiaozhi was too strong, but the lid of the bottle of seasoning fell off, causing the powder inside to all spill onto the rice.
Xiaozhi looked at the empty condiments in his hand with a subtle expression on his face.
After forcing himself to finish his meal, Xiaozhi put the lunch box in the designated place. On his way back, he fell to the ground because he stepped on his shoelaces.
Xiaozhi stood up, dusted himself off, then returned to the room and sat on a chair thinking about the training plan for the Pokémon, but the leg of the chair suddenly broke.
Fortunately, Xiaozhi reacted quickly and grabbed the fixed table, thus avoiding tragedy.
Xiaozhi recalled all the misfortunes that happened today, as well as the unusually cold temperature he felt. He suddenly realized something and immediately activated the waveguide to sense his surroundings.
Feeling the feedback from the waveguide pulse, Xiaozhi looked at the shadow and found a clue as expected: there was a ghost-attribute Pokémon hidden in his shadow!
Name: Gengar
Features: Cursed Body
Attributes: Ghost, Poison
Strength: Quasi-king low level
Information: Abandoned by the previous trainer, he waited in the Sakuragi Research Institute for three years before finally coming to his senses. He cursed those trainers who had close relationships with Pokémon. He has high talent and potential at the king level.
Okay, not to mention that he possessed me, he even dared to curse me!
Xiaozhi laughed in anger, left the room and ran out of the Pokémon Center. Pikachu, who was sleeping on the bed, saw him and hurriedly followed him.
At the corner of the road, the sound of a couple chatting was heard, but at this time Xiaozhi’s speed was at its peak. By the time he reacted, he had already knocked the person to the ground.
Xiaozhi knew he was in the wrong, so he covered his forehead and apologized, “I’m sorry.”
“Pay attention to me!” After standing up, the seemingly social yellow-haired young man kept rubbing his chin which was hit hard by Xiaozhi.
The green-haired woman looked at her boyfriend’s unlucky look and couldn’t help laughing: “What’s wrong, are you cursed again? Hahaha~”
“That was three years ago.” The yellow-haired young man spread out his hands. “I’m doing fine now. There’s no such thing as a curse.”
“Pikachu, Pikachu?! (Ash, what’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly run away?)” Pikachu rushed over and climbed onto Ash’s shoulder, panting.
“But it was really terrible when that guy was here – he always lost in battles, always failed to subdue people, fell down the stairs, things disappeared – nothing good ever happened.”
“That’s so funny, that’s a curse, right?”
“But that plague god is gone, and I’m fine now!”
“Listen carefully? You wait for me here and you can’t leave!” Gengar, who was hiding in Xiaozhi’s shadow, suddenly remembered these words. Those were the words his master said when he abandoned him. He waited foolishly in front of a big house for three years for this promise.
At this moment, Gengar suddenly felt like a clown seeking attention, extremely pitiful.
Both Xiaozhi and Pikachu stared at the yellow-haired young man with fierce eyes.
Xiaozhi is a trainer who loves Pokémon, so he must have a strong liking for powerful Pokémon like Gengar, so he couldn’t help himself after hearing these words.
As for Pikachu, after hearing what the yellow-haired young man said, it suddenly realized that the Gengar hiding in Xiaozhi’s shadow was the Pokémon released by the man in front of it. It couldn’t be said that it was disgusted by this behavior, but this unintentional act caused harm to its trainer, so it had to have a good talk with him.
“Really? A Pokémon like Gengar—”
The yellow-haired young man had a complicated expression and said softly, “It’s good that he hasn’t been subdued.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gengar, who was hiding in Ash’s shadow, couldn’t help it anymore. It jumped out of Ash’s shadow and looked at its former trainer with ferocious eyes.
“You, you are! Why!” The yellow-haired young man took a half step back.
Gengar roared softly, then quickly condensed a black ball in his hand and flew towards the yellow-haired young man.
“Calm down, Gengar!”
Xiaozhi opened his arms to block the former trainer of Gengar, and advised: “You can’t kill your former trainer here! At least find a place without surveillance!”
Gengar was already blinded by anger, and it threw out Shadow Balls one after another, completely ignoring what Xiaozhi said.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi had no choice but to release his Pokémon to protect the yellow-haired young man. Although he was saddened by the fate of the Gengar, if the Gengar killed someone in a monitored place and this matter was reported to the Alliance, the Alliance would immediately send a professional force to clean up the Gengar…
This is just like in Xiaozhi’s original world, when animals kill humans, they must be dealt with, and human life is always more important than the life of an elf.
“You guys, go and send those two people somewhere else.”
After receiving Xiaozhi’s order, Butterfree and Pidgeot each captured one person, and Gengar’s former trainer and his girlfriend were politely escorted out of Vermilion City.
“Geng Li, are you willing to be my Pokémon? No matter what your past trainer said, I need you now.” Xiaozhi came to Gengar with a sincere attitude and a gentle tone.
Gengar still cannot trust humans. Even though Xiaozhi’s kindness is as warm as the sunshine, he is afraid that this overly warm sunshine will burn him and that he will be abandoned again.
Xiaozhi looked at Gengar who was hesitant and reluctant, and his attitude suddenly became tough, like a domineering president: “Come on, Gengar! It’s okay if you don’t believe me right now, but I believe you.”
Gengar smiled helplessly, then reached out and patted the Poké Ball on Xiaozhi’s belt, turned into a red light and drilled in.
Chapter 029: Dead Leaf Gym (Old Version)
Having successfully subdued this Gengar with low-level quasi-king strength, Xiaozhi is in a very good mood. However, he did not forget his main business and challenged the Vermilion Leaf Gym.
The Gym Master of the Vermilion Leaf Gym, Ma Zhishi, is a retired military officer from the Unova region who is known for his ruthless fighting style.
Influenced by this, Miss Joy at the Vermilion Leaf City Elf Center has to treat a large number of elves every day and has no leisure time at all. The elders of the Joy family often say to their children, “If you don’t study nursing knowledge well, you will be sent to the Vermilion Leaf City Elf Center to be Miss Joy in the future.”
Miss Joy from Vermilion City doesn’t care much about the teasing in her family, but she also wants to have her own afternoon tea time, so she uses high-quality Thunder Stones as a reward and asks Xiaozhi to teach this guy Ma Zhishi a lesson.
Xiaozhi didn’t teach Ma Zhishi a lesson just for the Thunder Stone. He accepted the commission purely because Miss Joy gave him the Pokémon Egg.
Arriving at the door of the Withered Leaf Gym, Xiaozhi pushed open the door and walked in.
“Hi, baby, are you today’s challenger?”
Looking at Ma Zhishi who was sitting in the gym owner’s seat with his legs crossed, Xiaozhi felt the sharp momentum from him. If an ordinary person had not experienced the baptism of blood and fire on the battlefield, he would never have such a tangible murderous aura.
Xiaozhi pressed down his hat and replied, “Yes, I am the challenger this time.”
“Oh, baby, you have great momentum!” Ma Zhishi threw the Poké Ball, “Then I won’t be polite. Come on, Raichu, give this baby a profound lesson.”
“Pikachu, go!”
Raichu appeared at the battlefield. It looked around for its opponent, but couldn’t find anyone for a long time.
It was not until Pikachu patted Raichu’s belly that it realized that its opponent this time was a member of its own species, and a Pikachu that had not evolved. A look of disdain immediately appeared on its face.
“Raichu! (Little dwarf, go home and drink your milk!)”
“Pikachu-Pikachu! (Who are you calling a dwarf, silly big guy!)”
The two electric mice released crackling electricity at the same time. They were obviously extremely angry and a fight was about to break out.
After seeing that both sides had entered the battle state, the referee announced: “Now begins the gym challenge with orange badges as the stakes. The rules of the game are 1v1. The Pokémon used by the gym leader, Zhishi Ma, is Raichu, and the Pokémon used by the challenger, Xiaozhi, is Pikachu. There is no time limit for this game, so the battle begins!”
“Raiqiu, don’t show mercy, use your lightning fist with maximum power!” Ma Zhishi was the first to issue the order.
“Raichu!”
There was an endless stream of electric current wrapped around Raichu’s hands, and the sound it made was as loud as thunder, and it suddenly hammered towards Pikachu’s position.
“Pikachu, move quickly to avoid it.” Xiaozhi ordered with ease.
“Pika!”
Pikachu immediately used high-speed movement, and the yellow figure kept wandering on the field like a fleeting meteor, avoiding the lightning fist before it got close.
“Not bad, you are a qualified opponent.”
Ma Zhishi praised sincerely, saying that Pikachu’s speed was not as fast as Raichu, but its flexibility was much better than its evolved form.
“Raichu, let’s also use all our strength and use the million-ton punch!” Ma Zhishi ordered sternly.
Raichu was already feeling annoyed when he saw Pikachu spinning around him. After receiving Ma Zhishi’s order, he hammered the ground hard.
However, Pikachu took advantage of its size and narrowly avoided Raichu’s punch.
“Right now, use Iron Tail.”
After hearing Xiaozhi’s order, Pikachu’s tail glowed white, and the completely hardened iron tail hit Raichu.
The powerful force of the iron tail actually made Raichu retreat several steps!
Raichu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. As an evolved form, he was beaten like this by a member of the same species, and in Pikachu form. But the point was not this, but that this Pikachu dared to swing its iron tail on its face, with a mocking smile on its lips.
This was intolerable. When Raichu was in the army, he had never been ridiculed like this. For a moment, Raichu was furious, and the electric bag on his face burst into crackling electricity.
Feeling the anger of his comrades, Ma Zhishi realized that he couldn’t go on like this, and immediately gave the order: “Raichu, use 100,000 volts to finish off your opponent!”
“Raichu!!”
The power of the 100,000 volts used by the enraged Raichu is naturally not to be underestimated. Even the ground was punctured by the splashing electric current.
“Pikachu, lightning flashes and distances us.”
“Raichu, let’s use Lightning Flash too!” Ma Zhishi clenched his fists and shouted, “We must defeat that little mouse thoroughly this time!”
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield was very interesting. Two golden lights were seen running around on the field at an extremely fast speed, one in front and one behind.
Although Raichu has rich combat experience, its size makes it less flexible, and no matter how hard it tries, it cannot catch up with the tiny Pikachu.
“Pikachu, keep Iron Tail and use Electric Ball!” Seeing that the distance was almost close, Xiaozhi immediately ordered a counterattack.
After receiving the order, Pikachu’s body made a big turn as if it was braking urgently, and its tail rubbed against the ground and began to gather golden energy.
The electric ball has already condensed into shape, and accompanied by the crackling sound of electric current, the energy flows along the jagged tail and gathers to the end of the tail. A highly concentrated golden ball is placed in front of everyone.
“Raichu, let’s use this move to decide the outcome, use Volt Attack!”
As soon as Ma Zhishi finished his words, Raichu, with electric current wrapped around his body, was ready to go, and hit Pikachu’s head hard as it was about to attack.
Pikachu felt a headache after being hit by Raichu, but the pain did not interrupt its calculation ability. Neither the iron tail nor the electric ball at the end of the tail dissipated.
“Pika Pikachu-Pika!”
Pikachu, who was extremely vengeful, swung his iron tail and hit Raichu’s head without hesitation. The electric ball spinning around the iron tail hit Raichu’s crown.
Chapter 030 Hatching of Elf Eggs (Old Version)
Ma Zhishi walked up to Xiaozhi and took out a badge from his shirt pocket: “Congratulations, the winner Xiaozhi, Pikachu, this is proof that you defeated me, the orange badge.”
“Thanks.”
Xiaozhi took the badge from Ma Zhishi. Pokémon battles are indeed addictive. Unfortunately, this 1V1 match left him feeling a little unsatisfied.
The same goes for Pikachu. It knows that Raichu still has many powerful moves that it has not used. If it weren’t for its trainer’s proper command, the battle would not have ended so quickly.
“I haven’t had such a great time fighting for a long time.” Ma Zhishi is different from Xiaozhi. As an officer, he likes to fight this kind of blitzkrieg.
Xiaozhi put the orange badge in the badge box and called Pikachu who was also reluctant to leave. When he was about to leave the Vermilion Leaf Gym, Ma Zhishi suddenly stopped him.
“Wait, Xiaozhi!”
Xiaozhi stopped and looked at Ma Zhishi strangely, and asked, “What’s the matter, Mr. Ma Zhishi?”
“Yes, I have an important favor to ask you.” Ma Zhishi smiled and patted Xiaozhi’s shoulder. After the battle just now, Xiaozhi’s strength has been recognized by him, so this matter must be done by Xiaozhi.
He said, “Xiaozhi, don’t you know that the alliance has a project to build a power plant recently? What we are going to talk about next is related to this.”
“Power plant? To be honest, I really don’t know.”
Xiaozhi actually knew about this, but he really didn’t want to get involved with a power plant, a facility that was related to the nation’s economy and people’s livelihood. If there was a problem in the future and it was investigated, no one in the alliance would be able to escape.
Xiaozhi is now in the rising stage of his career, and he doesn’t want to ruin his future because of such things.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. Actually, I want to ask you, Xiaozhi, to help capture ten Naughty Thunder Bombs to assist in the power supply of the power plant.”
Ma Zhishi said helplessly: “This kind of thing should have been handled by the alliance, but you know that the spirits like Naughty Thunder Bomb are prone to use big explosions when they are emotional. If humans are subjected to a big explosion, they will lose arms and limbs at best, and die on the spot at worst. Therefore, no one in the alliance is willing to capture Naughty Thunder Bomb, so I can only ask the strong ones…”
Hearing this, Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows unnaturally. Ma Zhishi’s words sounded like an old-fashioned man deceiving a passionate young man.
Xiaozhi is a person who cherishes his life. Although catching Naughty Bomb is not difficult for him at all, he is always prepared for the worst. Who knows what kind of emergency he will encounter when catching Naughty Bomb, such as the Lightning Bird coming to absorb the electricity.
Ma Zhishi’s tone that insisted that he was the only one who could do this put Xiaozhi in a dilemma. Xiaozhi was thinking about how to get rid of this matter. Fortunately, he was well versed in the art of being thick-skinned and thought of a good idea on the spot.
“Mr. Ma Zhishi, I have yet to repay my parents for raising me, and I have the responsibility to raise my children too. As for matters like serving the League, you’d better ask someone else to help you.” Xiaozhi choked up and held Ma Zhishi’s hand. His acting skills refreshed Pikachu’s perception of his own trainer.
Ma Zhishi did not expect Xiaozhi to do this on the spot. He was so generous that he thought Xiaozhi really wanted to serve the alliance but was unable to do so due to family problems.
“Alas, it’s a pity for such an excellent trainer like you, Xiaozhi. Originally, after completing this task, you could become a civil servant of the league in the future, such as a king, champion, or gym leader. These positions can reduce the assessment process to a certain extent.”
“Mr. Ma Zhishi, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier!” Xiaozhi immediately got rid of his previous state, “Tell me quickly, where is the habitat of the naughty thunder bombs? I will go and catch them now.”
It seems like you were playing me just now.
Ma Zhishi looked at the eloquent Xiaozhi and was almost confused by his sudden change of expression. However, when he thought about those trainers with superstar strength who were eliminated in the assessment and became gym leaders and went easy on the newcomers every day, he did not find it strange.
After all, not everyone likes to be a gym leader who lets the newcomers lose and then guides them. Most trainers hope to move up through assessments.
Ma Zhishi took out the document issued by the alliance and glanced at the information on it: “The habitat of the Naughty Thunder Bomb is in the power plant in Black Cloud City. There is no rush. Xiaozhi, you can go there after you qualify for the Quartz Conference.”
There is no tight time limit. All you have to do is capture ten naughty thunder bombs and hand them over to Ma Zhishi before the Quartz Conference begins. This condition is quite humane.
After chatting with Ma Zhishi for a while, Xiaozhi said goodbye to him and left the Vermilion Leaf Gym.
As he walked along the road, Xiaozhi recalled the rigid requirements of those naughty bombs, which required individuals with stable emotions who were not prone to releasing big explosions.
This is easier said than done. Elves like Naughty Thunder are naturally easily excited, and those who are not excited are rare.
The reason why Ma Zhishi gave this task to Xiaozhi was probably because he wanted to lighten his own burden. The number of them he needed to find was at least a hundred, if not a thousand.
“Pika, Pikachu! (Xiaozhi, check your waist bag!)”
Xiaozhi looked down at his waist bag and found that it was flashing white light and shaking continuously.
This is a sign? Could it be that the elf egg is about to hatch?
Xiaozhi had a vague guess in his mind. He didn’t expect the egg to hatch so quickly. He quickly took out the incubator jar from his waist bag and found that the facts were just as he guessed.
The elf egg covered with blue spots was shaking constantly, making the glass cover bang, and it looked full of energy.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi opened the incubator, found a park bench on the side of the road and sat down. The Pikachu on his shoulder came to the park bench and stared at the Pokémon egg with anticipation.
“Crack!”
The tenacious life pushed open the eggshell, revealing a small elf with blue skin with some black as the secondary color, which looked a bit like a puppy.
Name: Riolu
Features: Mischievous Heart
Attribute: Fighting
Information: It refused to hatch and remained in the form of a Pokémon egg for a long time. After several twists and turns, it arrived at Vermilion City in the Kanto region. It broke out of the shell after sensing Xiaozhi’s wave. It has extremely high talent and has the potential to be a champion.
Chapter 031 Good things come in pairs (old version)
Riolu opened his eyes and looked around.
“Riolu, my name is Satoshi.” Satoshi introduced himself and released his wave. A sky blue aura rose from his body like a huge wave.
After sensing this huge and familiar wave, Riolu shouted: “Leo! (Please subdue me, Master Xiaozhi!)”
Hearing this, Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected Riolu to answer so straightforwardly: “Are you sure? Let me tell you in advance, I will make you do many things that go against your ideals in the future.”
“Lio. (Even so, I will always follow you, Satoshi.)” Riolu knelt on one knee, his tone full of loyalty.
“Really?” Xiaozhi smiled and took out a brand new Poké Ball and placed it in front of it. “Well, please give me your guidance in the future, Riolu.”
Riolu pressed the button of the Poké Ball without hesitation, and instantly turned into a red light and drilled in. The Poké Ball did not shake at all, which meant that the Poké Ball was successfully captured.
Xiaozhi looked at the Poké Ball in his hand, his heart unable to calm down for a long time. This child had endured until now to break out of the shell in order to see him.
It is said that in order to find a master worthy of his loyalty, Riolu will travel thousands of miles and will not stop until he finds his destined person.
Riolu stayed quietly in the Poké Ball. This was the first time it was put into a Poké Ball, but it felt unusually at ease.
Xiaozhi put the Poké Ball on his belt, left the park chair and was about to go to the store to replenish supplies, but he was suddenly stopped by two dark-skinned students.
“Congratulations! You look like a super lucky person!”*2
When he saw the two people dressed as students in front of him, Xiaozhi put his hand on his forehead and was silent for a long time. This scene was really a bit eye-catching. Two adults disguised themselves as female students, afraid that others would not be able to see it.
Let’s talk about this Kojiro. Not only did he make his skin dark brown, put on lipstick and dye his hair yellow, he even wore women’s clothes.
He didn’t feel ashamed. Even Satoshi felt embarrassed for his parents. As the heir of the famous Sasaki family in Kanto region, the heir gave up being a rich young man and went to be a soldier in Team Rocket. No one knew how Kojiro’s parents felt.
Sure enough, people’s joys and sorrows are not shared.
“Pika? (What?)” asked Pikachu on Ash’s shoulder.
“Actually, the thing is, we have a ticket for the Saint Anno!”
Musashi took out a boat ticket and showed it to Xiaozhi: “Many trainers gather there to hold a party, and there are a lot of delicious food. It’s super fun!”
“It’s super fun!” Kojiro pinched his throat to help out.
Seeing Musashi and Kojiro being so pretentious, Xiaozhi almost vomited on the spot. You are already so old, why don’t you pretend to talk like a high school girl.
Especially Kojiro! I’m afraid his Pikachu has already noticed that something is wrong!
“Pika. (I really want to go.)”
Pikachu, please don’t betray my trust in you! Can’t you see they are Team Rocket?
Xiaozhi looked at the Pikachu on his shoulder with an envious look, and for a moment he actually thought that his Pikachu was a fool, the kind that was sold but still foolishly helped count money.
Even if the ticket for the Sant’Anno was given for free, Xiaozhi would not board that cruise ship.
In the original novel, besides Team Rocket, the cruise ship was also hit by strong winds and waves that could capsize the ship. Xiaozhi didn’t have the leisure to ride on a ship that could get him into trouble.
“You two, I’m not interested in the Saint Anno, but can you have a Pokémon battle with me?” Xiaozhi has already set his sights on Team Rocket. He didn’t expect these guys to be released from prison so soon. He has to catch them back and keep them as a keepsake.
“What, a battle between elves?” Musashi obviously didn’t react and was at a loss.
“Musashi, why doesn’t this little brat play by the rules!” Kojiro said in a low voice.
“I recently obtained some Pokémon, and I was worried that no one would help me test the results of my training, so let’s start the battle!” Xiaozhi threw out two Poké Balls.
The Pokémon that appear on the battlefield are Squirtle and Riolu. Squirtle needs to accumulate melee experience as quickly as possible, while Riolu needs to know how to fight.
Seeing that Xiaozhi sent out a baby-level team, Musashi and Kojiro did not hesitate. Now is a good opportunity to get back at them.
Unfortunately, Musashi and Kojiro still haven’t made much progress. The Pokémon they sent out are only intermediate-level Arbok and Gas Bomb. Riolu may not be able to defeat them, but it is more than enough for Squirtle.
Xiaozhi took out the Pokémon Gear and calmly commanded: “Squirtle, spin at high speed to approach the gas bomb. Riolu, use Vacuum Wave on Arbok after self-motivation.”
Musashi and Kojiro were each commanding their own Pokémon, but before they could shout out any orders, Squirtle, which had retracted into its shell and was spinning at high speed, had already arrived in front of them and slammed heavily into the gas bomb.
Under such a strong impact, the gas bomb was knocked to Arbok’s side on the spot. Seeing this, Riolu quickly fired out the vacuum wave that was ready to go.
Xiaozhi put down the Pokémon Gear that had already dialed the police number and continued to command: “Squirtle, Rocket Hammer. (Riolu, take the rope from me and tie up those two people.)”
Squirtle and Riolu both started their respective actions.
Arbok and Gas Bomb, who were hit by the vacuum wave and unable to stand up, lost their ability to fight on the spot after being hit by Squirtle.
Musashi and Kojiro were about to take back the elves, but they found that they were tied up tightly with ropes and had no room to move at all.
Squirtle returned to Ash’s side. It felt a little bit of excitement in its heart, and then its expression froze, and Squirtle was immediately covered by white light.
The white light dissipated, and Stotle appeared in front of Xiaozhi. It had a pair of furry ears on its head that looked a bit like wings, its tail had turned into the shape of an ocean wave, and its mouth had sharp fangs.
Chapter 032 Yacht (Old Version)
“Thank you very much for your cooperation, Xiaozhi.”
Miss Junsha took over the Rocket Team, who were tied up like dumplings, and after confirming that they were habitual criminals wanted by the police, she saluted Xiaozhi.
According to the information Xiaozhi got from Miss Junsha, Musashi and Kojiro were bailed out by a big boss.
If they didn’t do anything bad after being released on bail, they wouldn’t have to be sent back to prison. However, these idiots were not very well-behaved and never stopped stealing.
In response, Xiaozhi said that Team Rocket had it all their own fault for being sent back to prison.
“This is what I should do as a trainer. By the way, Miss Junsa, this is the ticket for the Saint Annu distributed by Team Rocket.”
Xiaozhi took out the boat ticket and said, “I doubt Team Rocket will do anything big on the Saint Annu. Just in case, Miss Junsha, can you notify the shipping bureau and ask them to stop the Saint Annu’s sailing plan?”
“What? Team Rocket is also handing out tickets for the Sant’Anou!”
Miss Junsha seemed to be unaware of this matter. She quickly got on her motorcycle and said, “Thank you for the information you provided, Xiaozhi. If this information is true, the alliance will definitely give you a reward later.”
Looking at Miss Junsha riding away on a motorcycle, Xiaozhi shrugged and lamented the busyness of the police, and returned to the room in the Pokémon Center.
Although Pikachu felt strange that Xiaozhi did not leave Vermilion City immediately, these were its trainer’s business and as a Pokémon, it was not something that Pikachu could do anything about.
In the afternoon, Xiaozhi turned on the TV in the Pokémon Center and watched the news on it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The police have blocked the San Trianon, and all the members of Team Rocket lurking on it have been arrested, even the captain was not spared.
However, these were not the main reasons for Xiaozhi’s smile. Instead, after the police successfully prevented the Rocket Team’s conspiracy, they jointly rewarded Xiaozhi with the business giant in the Kanto region, that is, Silver Corporation.
As a leader in the global manufacturing industry, Silver Corporation has developed a large number of props used by trainers, including move learning devices, wound medicines, escape ropes, sprays, and even the basic technology of today’s Poké Balls was pioneered by them.
It is no exaggeration to say that Silver’s business scope covers the whole world.
The reward that Silver Company gave to Xiaozhi was not money, but an elf riding device and a luxury yacht. They also announced that the annual fuel and maintenance costs of the yacht would all be borne by Silver Company.
Such a generous gesture made Xiaozhi not know what to say, but he thought that the reason why Silver Company rewarded him like this was to repay his father’s favor.
Yulongdu said that his father died in the line of duty in order to retrieve the child of Sakaki, the leader of Team Rocket, and the child of the president of Silver Corporation.
Xiaozhi secretly thanked his deceased father in his heart, as he left him with important connections.
However, how long these connections can last depends on Xiaozhi’s future efforts.
In addition to wanting to repay a favor, President Silver also wanted to express a hidden message to Ash, an investment in how far he can go on the path of a trainer.
Xiaozhi was sure that if he didn’t achieve anything in the future, his end might be worse than death.
The next day, Kanto region sea route.
Xiaozhi sat on the yacht sent by Silver Company, looking at the waves constantly rolling on the sea, wondering where the legendary Dragonite Island was.
Unlike yachts in the past that needed to be manually driven, you only need to tap on the map, and the artificial intelligence system on the yacht will automatically help you navigate to your destination.
Even though Xiaozhi knew that the technology in this world was very advanced, when he sat on this fast and stable yacht, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that the power of science is really great.
“Lingyin, how long will it take to reach our destination?” Xiaozhi asked the artificial intelligence on the yacht.
“According to the current driving speed, it will take half an hour to reach the destination.” An emotionless electronic voice sounded, and then the image of a girl with no knowledge of the three aspects was projected.
“I see. We will increase the computing power and speed up the driving.”
Following Xiaozhi’s instructions, the projected artificial intelligence disappeared and the speed of the yacht increased slightly, like lightning.
As the yacht was sailing on the sea, Xiaozhi discovered that the sky suddenly darkened, became covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning flashed. Soon, it began to rain heavily.
Looking at this scene, Xiaozhi dared to conclude that Dragonite Island was real, because Dragonite was a Pokémon that could control the weather, and this scene was undoubtedly a signal for Dragonite to unleash its own power.
In other words, Kuailong Island was surrounded by the storm caused by this force and became an undiscovered paradise.
Lingyin increased the speed of the yacht. Fortunately, Dragonite Island was not too far away, so after fifteen minutes of travel, Xiaozhi finally saw the land.
As Xiaozhi got off the boat, he saw countless Dragonite and Haxoruba playing around, but there was no Dratini among them. It seemed that Dratini was being protected by their tribe somewhere else.
Just as Xiaozhi was thinking this, he found a Haxorus looking at him warily.
Seeing this, Dragonite patted Haxorus on the head and told it that the human in front of it was just a child and could not cause any harm to them, then flew away.
Ignoring the Haxorus that was staring at him, Xiaozhi looked at the Haxorus in front of him that were constantly colliding as if they were in training, and quickly took out his camera, apparently wanting to capture this precious scene so that he could use it as a souvenir if he wanted to watch it later.
Suddenly, the crystal-like beads on Haxorus’ body emitted a blue light, and the released airflow swirled like a tornado.
“So this is how Haxorus flies.” Xiaozhi said subconsciously.
After hearing this, the Haxorus that had been staring at Xiaozhi vigilantly lowered its head, and its expression looked a little sad.
Chapter 033: The Flying Haxorus (Old Version)
Xiaozhi noticed something was wrong. He found that the small wings on both sides of the heads of those Hakkars became very long, and then they flew up one after another, but the Hakkar next to him remained indifferent.
Name: Hakron
Features: Magical scales
Attribute: Dragon
Strength: Quasi-king peak
Information: Due to his poor talent, he is regarded as a laughing stock by his peers, and has not left the island for many years. Therefore, he is extremely eager to soar into the sky one day. He has poor talent and his potential is at the champion level.
The information displayed on the system panel has told Xiaozhi what is going on. It turns out that this Haxorus can’t fly!
Looking at the Haxorus who wanted to fly but couldn’t, Xiaozhi walked up to him, stopped at the right place, and then extended his hand: “You, come and train with us.”
Haxorus was wary of Xiaozhi’s invitation. Originally, it planned to stay away from this human and find an open place to practice slowly. However, its friend who evolved into Dragonite at the same time as it advised it that the Dragonite clan is committed to saving the victims, and they will encounter humans sooner or later, so it is better to have more contact with them now.
In desperation, Haxorus could only come to Xiaozhi reluctantly.
Xiaozhi is not just bragging. By watching the group of Haxorus colliding with each other just now, he has already cracked the principle of Haxorus flying. The success rate of this training can be said to be 90% certain, as long as this Haxorus is willing to work hard.
“Hakron, use Dragon Dance.”
After finding a place for special training, Xiaozhi patted his chest confidently and said, “I’ll demonstrate. You better watch carefully.”
Haxlon expressed his doubts. After all, it had failed too many times before. Even with the help of this human, it might still not succeed. It didn’t want to fail again.
“Watch out, Haxorus.” Xiaozhi threw the Poké Ball, “Gengard, use Psychic on me.”
After hearing Xiaozhi’s instructions, Gengar wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. He didn’t expect his trainer to make such a bold move. It was not until Gengar saw that Xiaozhi’s eyes were so determined that he dared to use his mental power to control Xiaozhi to fly.
The psychic-attribute moves are worthy of being called bugs in the Pokémon world. While enjoying flying in the air, Ash threw out Butterfree’s Poké Ball. He planned to let Butterfree use telekinesis to help Haxorus fly.
Haxorus was infected by Xiaozhi’s will and resolutely accepted the telekinesis released by Butterfree. It floated in the air and kept flapping its wings.
“That’s it. Spin around more, Haxoron.”
Seeing that it was almost time, Xiaozhi secretly used the waveguide to order Butterfree to gradually weaken its telekinetic control. Hackon was completely unaware of it, but its flying speed did not decrease at all.
There is no doubt that Haxorus has learned the Dragon Dance that allows it to spread its wings.
“It’s flying.”
After hearing Xiaozhi’s voice, Haxorus realized that it no longer had any psychic energy. It excitedly flew to Xiaozhi, wrapped around his neck, and spoke words of gratitude.
Basically, it’s like, human, you helped me, and I feel embarrassed when I think about how I treated you before. As a reward for teaching me how to fly, I decide to become your elf and accompany you to the ends of the earth.
“Let me make it clear in advance, if you become my Pokémon, what awaits you is boring training.” Xiaozhi pretended to be fierce.
Haxorus was not frightened by Xiaozhi’s expression at all. It looked at Xiaozhi firmly, and would not go back on its decision.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi didn’t hesitate to say anything. He took out an empty Poké Ball and threw it at Haxorus. The Poké Ball fell to the ground and shook a few times symbolically, indicating that it had been successfully captured.
Xiaozhi came to Dragonite Island this time just to capture Dragonite. It was really unexpected that Dragonite was willing to follow him, but being able to capture a quasi-god without having to fight was something that Xiaozhi hoped would happen more often.
Although this Haxorus’s talent is not very good, with the accumulation of time, it has already possessed the strength of a quasi-king.
As long as Ash can find a way to evolve it into Dragonite, the team will have its first Elite-level Pokémon. There are very few trainers who can train a Pokémon to be Elite-level, and this is an important watershed for trainers.
No matter how poor the talent of this Dragonite is, as long as more resources are invested, it will eventually evolve into a Dragonite.
Fortunately, Xiaozhi is not short of money now. He has trained a king-level Pokémon. Even if the black card given to him by Yulongdu is useless in the future, there will naturally be people who will give him money to spend, beg him to spend, and let him spend.
Thinking about these unimportant things, Xiaozhi returned to the luxury yacht given to him by Silver Company and changed the destination to Yumachi Pier in Lanpulchi.
Although there is no gym in Rumpelstiltskin, Hanako recently came to this coastal city on vacation and specially notified Xiaozhi to come and meet her.
In addition to resting here, Xiaozhi also asked Hanako to drive the yacht back to Pallet Town. There is a sea to the south of Pallet Town, which is perfect for mooring the boat.
The Kanto region is a continent, and there are not many places where this yacht can sail.
Xiaozhi is a trainer who needs to travel through mountains and rivers to challenge gyms. He is not Superman in the comics, so he can’t travel with a yacht.
In the future, when traveling to archipelagos with more sea areas, Xiaozhi might travel on this yacht, but let’s forget it for now.
Blue Pulchi.
The most famous resort in the Kanto region. Although the scenery is not as pleasant as Cape Cerulean in Cerulean City, it is still a good place to visit.
Under the scorching sun, Xiaozhi walked on the golden beach, looking for his mother, but the battle in the distance attracted his attention.
“Fry the pig, use flamethrower!”
Chapter 034 Wingman (Old Version)
Chapter 034: Wingman
I didn’t expect she would come here for vacation.
Xiaozhi looked at the brown-haired girl who was directing Chaozhu in the distance, and his perception of Toru began to be refreshed. He originally thought that this girl was a battle maniac, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Although Touko was still battling a Pokémon, the waves from her told Satoshi that she came here to relax.
Xiaozhi wanted to walk up to say hello, but as soon as he took a step, he remembered that their relationship didn’t seem to be familiar enough to be called friends.
Although I can stand here and shout her name, wouldn’t it be awkward if she replies, “Who are you?”
It might not be quite accurate to say that they only met once, as Xiaozhi had only met her twice in total, excluding the time at the Cerulean City Pokémon Center. The longest time was at the Cerulean Gym.
And that time, in order to make the trip to the Hualan Gym worthwhile, I specifically stopped her and requested a fight. I remember that I beat her badly.
Just when Xiaozhi was hesitating whether to take care of Touzi, a very gentle voice suddenly came from his ear: “Xiaozhi, Mommy doesn’t remember raising a bad child like you. How can you stare at a girl’s breasts?”
Xiaozhi was left speechless by these words. He was clearly thinking about something just now, but Hanako insisted that he was staring at the beauties on the beach.
“How can a mother tease her son like this?” Xiaozhi turned around and said helplessly to Hanako.
Originally, Xiaozhi wanted to reminisce with Hanako, but when he saw a certain figure, his expression instantly changed into a look of “no strangers allowed”, just like the face-changing in Peking Opera.
“You guy, at least say hello to me!” The one who made Xiaozhi become like this was his rival Xiaomao.
Of course, Xiaozhi has never admitted that Xiaomao is his rival. There are many factors for this, the most important of which is that this guy always pestered him when they were little.
If it were just that, it would be fine, but Xiaomao was very naughty when he was a child. Every time he got into trouble and was bullied by others, it was Xiaozhi, who was Professor Oak’s quasi-assistant, who helped him get back on his feet. As a result, Xiaomao not only did not restrain himself, but instead would come to Xiaozhi for support before getting into trouble every time.
Thanks to him, Xiaozhi’s injuries increased instead of decreasing. After returning home, he could not avoid Hanako’s lecture, and he had no idle days.
“So Professor Oak’s grandson, Xiaomao, is here too. I’m sorry, my eyesight is not good, please forgive me.” Xiaozhi turned around on purpose, facing the opposite direction of Xiaomao.
“What do you mean by bad eyesight? You obviously don’t want to look me in the eye!” Xiao Mao shouted loudly.
“Oh my, so Xiaomao is so self-aware?” Xiaozhi pretended to be surprised.
“Okay, both of you stop arguing.” Hanako acted as a peacemaker. “I heard that Professor Oak is going to hold an academic conference here. Why don’t we go and take a look together?”
Hanako’s words were quite effective. Satoshi and Shigeki stopped arguing on the spot, but the reasons for their stop were the same.
Xiao Mao respected Hanako from the bottom of his heart. In the early years when the alliance was not yet established, there was a large-scale war, and Xiao Mao’s parents died at that time.
Because Dr. Oak is busy with research all year round, he has no time to take care of Xiaomao and Xiaomao’s sister Nanami.
Therefore, in addition to buying some fast food sets at the convenience store, Xiaomao and Nanami mostly go to Xiaozhi’s house to eat and drink.
Thanks to the influence of this relationship, Xiaozhi was able to come to Professor Oak’s research institute to do odd jobs. Otherwise, who would have thought that a half-grown child could enter the research institute?
The reason why Xiaozhi stopped was exactly the opposite of Xiaomao’s. Professor Oak taught him academic problems that he didn’t understand in his previous life. Xiaozhi regarded Professor Oak as his mentor from the bottom of his heart.
Just when Xiaozhi and others were about to go to Professor Oak, the brown-haired girl who had just finished a Pokémon battle ran over.
“Xiaozhi, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Touzi wiped the sweat off her head and smiled warmly: “Why didn’t you say hello to me? Where are you going?”
Looking at the heroic girl in front of her, Hanako’s expression was extremely wonderful, as if she was saying that her silly son had finally grown up and learned how to pick cabbages in a foreign country.
“Xiaozhi, why don’t you introduce this beautiful girl to your mother quickly? What’s the name of this beautiful girl!” Hanako kept patting the Pikachu on Xiaozhi’s shoulder.
“Are you Xiaozhi’s mother?”
Touzi looked at the young woman in front of her in a daze. After she came to her senses, she quickly introduced herself: “Hello, my name is Touzi, and I’m from the Unova region!”
Hanako looked at Toruko with a smile and asked, “Is Toruko-chan traveling with Satoshi?”
“Mom, Touzi and I are strong rivals, but we just met here by chance. Please stop gossiping.” Xiaozhi said.
“I didn’t ask you, kid, why are you so eager to answer questions.”
Hanako looked at Xiaozhi unhappily and picked up Pikachu from his shoulders: “Since we finally came to the beach, we must have fun.”
“Aunt Hanako is absolutely right!”
Xiao Mao agreed: “I heard that there will be a beauty pageant for seaside beauties and makeup fairies here later. Xiaozhi, do you want to let your friend Touko participate in this competition?”
“I can’t decide for Toruko about this kind of thing.”
Looking at Xiaomao who was acting as his wingman, Xiaozhi rejected his invitation without hesitation: “Besides, aren’t we going to watch Professor Oak’s lecture?”
“We can go to Professor Oak’s lecture anytime, right, Xiao Mao?” Hanako implied something.
“Yes, Grandpa definitely wants us to have fun before going to his place.”
Chapter 035 Swimsuit (Old Version)
“Touzi-chan, do you want to join me in the beauty pageant for beauties and makeup fairies at the beach?”
Hanako hugged Tohru in a familiar manner, as if she and Tohru were blood relatives. To Xiaomao, an outsider, this scene seemed like Xiaozhi was just giving it away as a gift while topping up his phone bill.
Thinking about how Hanako had treated him well in the past, Xiao Mao didn’t mind helping his rival solve his relationship problems.
“There are a lot of flyers on the beach. I think there will be a lot of girls coming to participate in this competition, including my girlfriends.”
Xiao Mao patted his forehead helplessly and said with a regretful tone: “It’s a pity that this competition has gender restrictions, otherwise I really want to drag Xiaozhi to watch it together.”
Hearing this, Xiaozhi immediately looked at Xiaomao with an indescribable look, as if he was looking at a pervert.
“Xiaozhi and Xiaomao are born with good foundations. They will definitely look good in women’s clothes.”
Hanako said with a smile that Xiaomao’s words were mostly joking, but Hanako seemed to take it seriously and was thinking about buying them both a set of women’s clothes one day.
You are really my mother. For the sake of my feelings, you even drag Xiaomao into the water.
Xiaozhi complained in his heart, but what surprised him was that Xiaomao was willing to sacrifice his dignity as a young master in order to help him pick up girls.
If it were Xiaozhi, he definitely wouldn’t do this for Xiaomao. Is this the legendary brotherhood?
“Touko-chan, can you accompany me to this competition?” Seeing the expression on Touko’s face that showed she wanted to refuse but was too embarrassed to speak, Hanako actually pretended to be pitiful in public.
“Actually, I really want to participate in this competition, but I didn’t bring my swimsuit.” Touzi said unnaturally.
Xiaozhi heard a hint of insincerity in these words. Maybe Touzi didn’t like participating in such a competition, but she declined it just to save his face.
Hanako obviously didn’t think as much as Xiaozhi: “Is that so, then Xiaozhi, can you take Touko-chan to buy a swimsuit?”
After hearing this, Touko knew that she had to participate in the competition, so she had to walk towards the swimwear store dejectedly.
Seeing this, Hanako and Xiaomao pushed Xiaozhi’s back hard. Under the influence of this force, Xiaozhi took a step forward and followed behind Toruko, always keeping a certain distance from her.
“Xiaozhi, remember to pay for the girls!” Hanako shouted.
The two walked towards the city center of Lanpulchi. They did not walk side by side like a couple, but Tohko walked in front and Xiaozhi followed behind.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiaozhi finally couldn’t help it. The atmosphere along the way was really weird. Not to mention that they were just wandering around here without looking at the map, just not talking had become a big problem.
“Um, I’m so sorry!”
Xiaozhi ran in front of Toruko and said apologetically, “Toruko, I know you don’t want to participate in this competition, but my mother is just like that. Please don’t blame her.”
“Xiaozhi, you worry too much. I don’t take this matter to heart.”
Touko smiled softly. She walked in front of Xiaozhi with her hands behind her back: “Do you know why I don’t want to participate in such a competition?”
She turned around and put her hand on her chest. “My breasts aren’t as well developed as those of other girls my age. Of course, this is just one of the reasons. There’s another reason. I hope you, as a man, can tell me.”
“Uh, Toruko, don’t you like the opposite sex looking at you with those lewd eyes?”
Xiaozhi answered without thinking. Touko had already emphasized the word “male” before, so even a fool could answer it.
“I knew you could understand me, Xiaozhi!”
Touzi smiled, then turned around and continued walking forward: “So what do you think of my appearance? I think I am very good-looking. Tell me the truth.”
“Well, at least the first impression you gave me was pretty good.”
“Yeah?”
Looking at the clothing store in front of her, Touzi couldn’t help but slow down her pace: “Since Xiaozhi, you have praised me so much, then let me compliment you in a good way.”
She said, “You’re not bad looking! You must have been courted by many girls along the way, right? Perhaps in just these few months, countless girls have confessed their love to you…”
Xiaozhi did not respond to Touzi’s words. During the trip, many women did have improper thoughts about him, and even those radical women who were obsessed with looks proposed to him on the spot.
However, Xiaozhi rejected all of them. The girls looked average and their brain circuits did not match his.
If someone he doesn’t like suddenly comes and forcefully kisses him, Xiaozhi won’t feel like he’s taking advantage, but will instead feel disgusted.
Things like love all depend on whether the three views of both parties are compatible.
Even if some parts of the world still allow people to marry multiple wives, that doesn’t mean you become a bulldozer. If you want to have a harem, you have to follow the Basic Law. How dare you cheat on the little girl behind your first wife’s back if she doesn’t agree?
I’m afraid that you just did that with a girl today, and your wife went back to her parents’ home the next morning and never had anything to do with you again.
“Have you agreed?” Touzi said softly.
At this time, they had arrived at the door of the clothing store. There were many people in the store, in pairs. Everyone had a happy smile on their face. It seemed that most of them were couples.
Looking at the men in the store buying swimsuits for their girlfriends, Toruko shifted her gaze to Xiaozhi who was standing still.
His expression was somewhat distressed, as if he didn’t know whether he should accompany her inside.
“With so many couples, it seems a bit difficult for me to go in alone.”
Touko said casually, then pulled Xiaozhi’s wrist and walked in: “You have to pick a very nice swimsuit for me later, otherwise if you can’t win the championship, I will hold you responsible!”
Chapter 036 Paper (Old Version)
That afternoon, at Lanpulchi’s open-air cafe.
The beauty pageant of beach beauties and makeup elves has ended at this time. Xiaozhi and others are sitting here drinking cold drinks and chatting about the exciting things that happened in the competition.
“I didn’t expect that Aunt Hanako would be the winner in the end.”
Touzi leaned back in the coffee chair, looking somewhat depressed.
She recalled the moment when the emcee announced the winner. At that moment, she thought she had won the championship, but she didn’t expect that she couldn’t even make it into the top three.
“Aunt Hanako is still charming and it was an easy task for her to win the beauty pageant!” Xiao Mao flattered her.
“Look at what you said, Xiaomao. If it were Xiaozhi, he would definitely not say such a thing.” Hanako said with a smile, and the trophy on the table looked even more shining.
Xiaozhi felt like he was being shot even when he was lying down. Didn’t he just not praise you like Xiaomao did? Is it necessary for you to talk about your son like this…
Although it is a great honor for my mother to win the beauty pageant, the contestants in this competition are really not good. There are not many pretty and cute girls with decent figures.
This was the information that Xiaozhi got from Xiaomao. Except for a glance when Touko appeared, he spent the rest of the time playing with the Pokémon.
Women are not as fun as elves!
“After you’ve rested, let’s go find Professor Oak. Touko, do you want to come with us?” Xiaozhi put down the cold drink in his hand and asked.
“Professor Oak?” Touzi frowned. “I heard from old Professor Yew that Professor Oak’s status in the academic world is unmatched, and he has made achievements in various fields. Xiaozhi, how do you know him?”
“Didn’t you listen carefully? Didn’t Xiao Mao say before that he was the grandson of Professor Oak?”
Xiaozhi looked at Xiaomao who was sitting opposite him drinking lemonade, and said in a calm tone: “Xiaomao and I are friends for the time being. Thanks to this relationship, I naturally know his grandfather. Besides, our Pallet Town is not big to begin with, and Uncle Tachibana who sells breakfast there often chats with Professor Oak.”
“Is Dr. Oak such an approachable person?” Toruko said in disbelief. She thought that only old Dr. Yew from the Unova region was an exception, and the doctors in other regions were all very serious people.
“People like my grandfather are basically not arrogant.”
Xiao Mao put the lemonade on the table: “Xiao Zhi, you don’t have to go to my grandfather. I called him and he said he would come to us after the meeting.”
“So you are here! Xiao Mao, go buy me a bottle of water!”
Look, Professor Oak is here as soon as he is mentioned.
“Okay, Grandpa!”
Looking at Xiaomao’s back as he ran out to buy water, Xiaozhi quickly stood up and pulled out the coffee chair, and Professor Oak sat in the seat reserved for him by his future assistant.
Professor Oak had a lot of things with him. Even though he was wearing casual clothes, he was holding a pile of documents in his hands.
Xiaozhi took the document from Professor Oak. It was full of professional terms. Fortunately, Xiaozhi had studied a lot of things in his previous life, otherwise he would not be able to understand what was written inside.
“Professor Oak, how feasible is this paper on completing the missing gene fragments of Pokémon?” Xiaozhi asked, pulling out a paper that interested him the most.
“Haha, Xiaozhi, I advise you not to take this paper seriously.” Dr. Oak laughed. He had also read the contents in detail and found that the success rate was not very high.
“The content here is really interesting, treating MEGA evolution as the original form of the elves.”
Xiaozhi recalled the contents of the paper: “Those Pokémon that can MEGA evolve gradually evolved into their current form in order to adapt to the mutations in the environment, resulting in the loss of their own gene fragments. They must use MEGA Evolution Stones to temporarily replenish the lost genes and return to their original appearance.”
“If humans can use scientific means to help Pokémon complete their lost genes, then those Pokémon that can undergo MEGA evolution will not need the help of MEGA Evolution Stones to complete the MEGA evolution. This is a good opportunity for civilian trainers to achieve class leap.” Xiaozhi concluded.
“We humans cannot do this with our current level of technology.”
Professor Oak shook his head: “Instead of hoping to complete the lost gene fragments of the elves, it is better to think about how to analyze the energy released by MEGA evolution and use science and technology to create a wavelength transmitter that matches this energy.”
“The feasibility of the latter is indeed much higher than the former.”
Xiaozhi nodded, and suddenly remembered the matter he wanted to ask: “Professor Oak, do you know how to train Pokémon with fighting attributes? I recently captured a Riolu, but this kid is too warlike, which affects the training I arranged for other Pokémon in the team.”
Compared to other elves, fighting-attribute elves are very easy to train. They can quickly improve their strength by simply letting them fight with other elves.
The characteristics of most elves are related to their attributes. For example, elves with ghost attributes like to play pranks, and elves with psychic attributes have high IQs.
Elves with fighting attributes love fighting, and their love for fighting is unmatched by other elves.
“Riolu?”
Professor Oak touched his chin and said, “I suggest that Xiaozhi capture a few more Pokémon with the same attributes and train with them. In addition to using up excess energy, the effect of improving strength is much better than training alone.”
“The habitats of Fighting-type Pokémon in the Kanto region don’t seem to be marked in the illustration book.” Xiaozhi took out the illustration book and searched it.
The illustrations will show where the elves live. If you want to capture an elf of a certain attribute, the illustrations will select the place with the most species.
“Isn’t there a fighting dojo in Jinhuang City?” Professor Oak suggested, “Xiaozhi, as long as you beat the karate king there, you can choose a flying kicker or a fast puncher at will. Why don’t you go there and try your luck?”
Chapter 037 Negotiation (Old Version)
Xiaozhi chatted with Professor Oak about some other things, and before they knew it, it was already evening.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone had dinner at a nearby restaurant and then returned to the room they rented in Lanpulqi.
Early the next morning, after Xiaozhi taught Hanako how to operate the luxury yacht given to him by Silver Company, he said goodbye to Professor Oak who was still holding a meeting here and headed towards the next destination.
What’s different from before is that there’s someone who has temporarily joined Xiaozhi’s team.
Because Toru wanted to go to the temple fair in Maiden Gorge, she took the same ship as Satoshi.
The two came to Yumachi Pier, waiting for the arrival of the ship. However, just as they were waiting for the flight bored, a deafening explosion suddenly came from a ship in the distance.
Seeing this, Xiaozhi released Stotle to rescue people, and Toru also released his Sea Dragon.
“It’s so numb.”
Looking at the sailor who was shivering all over, Xiaozhi could tell at a glance that he was paralyzed. The other sailors who were rescued basically all showed this symptom.
Could it be that they touched the short-circuited wire at the same time?
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Xiaozhi ruled it out. Such a thing could never happen.
The ship exploded, but they showed no signs of burns on their bodies. This was really unbelievable, as if they were warned by something.
“Excuse me, what exactly happened?” asked Touzi.
“Hurry up and inform the president.”
The two followed the sailor’s instructions and arrived at the place where the president, Silver Granny, the richest woman in the area, lived.
Touzi looked at the familiar old lady and suddenly realized that she had seen this person who had been causing trouble for the kind-looking Grandpa Liu when she was working in Lanpulqi.
“You are from Lampold…”
“Don’t associate me with that weird person!” Granny Yin interrupted Touzi, “I’m her cousin.”
“Anyway, thank you very much for saving my employees.” Granny Gin gave Xiaozhi and Touzi a large sum of money. Judging from the thickness, there should be 10,000 Alliance Coins.
“Uh, thank you.” Touzi accepted the gift in a daze.
“Those annoying agate jellyfish keep coming to interfere with my project!” Granny Silver said, tapping the ground with her cane. “This luxury resort hotel is almost finished, but these ungrateful agate jellyfish keep causing me trouble.”
“You two, since you can use elves to save people, how about you help me drive away the jellyfish?” Granny Silver said, “Of course, I won’t let you work for nothing.”
“So, what’s the reward?” Xiaozhi asked. As long as the reward is reasonable, even Arceus, the God of Creation, can be defeated by you.
Granny Yin tapped her cane again, and the group of young men she kept opened the red curtain: “The most luxurious dinner in the world for one year, you can eat as much as you like, and there is also a bonus of one million Alliance coins, plus a one-year accommodation voucher for a five-star hotel in the Kanto region.”
“Yes, we accepted this mission.”
Although Xiaozhi is not short of money, Touzi is. This girl is very talented. Xiaozhi hopes to compete with her in the league conference someday, but he doesn’t want her to be lost in the crowd.
Good opponents with talent are very rare. If Xiaozhi wants to become a champion, he must step on these solid stepping stones to get up.
There is nothing in this world more satisfying than training an opponent and then defeating him completely.
Xiaozhi came to the sea on the boat prepared for him by Granny Gin. He did not let Touko come with him, but asked her to wait on the shore.
Xiaozhi intends to solve this incident by himself. He doesn’t want anyone to know that he possesses the legendary wave power, and it would be best if he could keep this matter secret for the rest of his life.
Looking at the densely packed agate jellyfish on the sea, Xiaozhi felt as if he had claustrophobia.
“Call out your leader to me. I want to negotiate with him.”
As Xiaozhi’s cry fell, a stinging jellyfish swam up from the deep sea, its eyes filled with unquenchable rage.
“Dongku! (Are you going to atone for what you humans have done?)”
“What you said is really funny. What did we humans do wrong to cause you to start a war?” Xiaozhi laughed out loud. He was a reasonable person and didn’t mind discussing philosophy with this stinging jellyfish.
“Dongku! (You humans have destroyed where we live!)” The stinging jellyfish pointed at the resort facility built on the coral reef with its tentacles.
“Is it because of this? What evidence do you have to prove that place belongs to you?” Xiaozhi’s words were actually a bit unreasonable, but for the sake of the subsequent negotiations, he had to steer the topic here.
“Dongku! (We have lived in this coral reef for generations, and this place has belonged to us since a long time ago!)” the stinging jellyfish said excitedly.
“That’s true, but the people here have settled here a long time ago and should have the right to develop this sea area.” Xiaozhi said in a deep voice.
“Dongku! (You humans have seized our habitat! You have killed our companions! You have destroyed the environment of this planet! You are not qualified to develop this place!)”
“Every creature has the desire to expand its territory. You can be found in all the seas on this planet, but in the eyes of most elves, your reputation is not very good. There are almost no other water elves where you appear. Why are you allowed to seize the territory of other elves but not us humans? How can there be such double standards in this world!”
Xiaozhi had a sad look on his face and spoke like an impassioned orator.
“Besides, before we humans became the overlords of this planet, didn’t you elves wantonly hurt powerless humans? Now that we humans have become the overlords of this planet, we have not killed our former enemies, but instead protected those elves that are on the verge of extinction! Although the phenomenon of humans eating elves, elves hunting humans, and elves preying on elves still exists, this is also a link in the food chain! It is an inevitable law of nature!”
Chapter 038: Issue Solved (Old Version)
“As for you saying that we humans have destroyed the environment of this planet, I think you may not know that when this planet was first created, the temperature was always above 4,000 degrees Celsius. There were also times when it was so cold that no living creatures could live there. What we humans have done is insignificant to this planet. It can’t even be called scraping.”
“Dongku! (I admit that what you said is correct and it couldn’t be more correct, but this still cannot make us give up the coral reefs where we have lived for generations!)”
The stinging jellyfish is not unreasonable, it also knows the character of its own people.
The evil things that humans do, elves also do, and the good things that elves do, humans also do. Elves and humans are essentially no different.
“Stinging jellyfish, as the leader, you don’t seem to understand the warning in my words.”
Xiaozhi cleared his throat and said, “The power of humans is not something your race can contend with. In this long corridor of time, humans have exterminated most of the elves that they fear, as well as other species that threaten the survival of our Homo sapiens. I don’t want your race of stinging jellyfish to fall to the point of extinction like those stupid guys.”
“Dongku! (We, the Stinging Jellyfish clan, are fearless. Even if we have to go to war with humans, we will tear off their flesh and blood!)”
Along with the angry roar of the stinging jellyfish leader, the agate jellyfish behind it began to clamor one after another. It was estimated that there were about tens of millions of them. If it weren’t for the pure wave power emanating from Xiaozhi’s body, he would have been torn into pieces by this group of agate jellyfish.
“Stinging jellyfish, are you willing to entrust the future of your clan to me? I will strive for you, the Stinging jellyfish, no, for you elves to have an equal position with us humans.” Xiaozhi covered his chest with one hand, “I beg you here, as long as you give up this coral reef and give me enough time, I will definitely fulfill the promise I made today!”
“Dongku! (You? You’re just a kid, what can you do? Don’t brag!)”
“Children will eventually grow up to be adults.”
Xiaozhi said calmly: “And as the leader of the poisonous jellyfish, you shouldn’t be surprised. How can I, a mere human, understand the language of you elves?”
Seeing the wave of spiritual energy emanating from Xiaozhi that was like a huge wave, the stinging jellyfish was stunned for a moment. It vaguely recalled the words that were passed down among every elf tribe and could be called the clan rules.
Wave Messengers are different from other humans, and only pure people can awaken this power.
They are upright people who can sacrifice their lives for the safety of the world when necessary. Just like their ability waves, they are refined mental energy and are far less violent and unstable than those of other special ability users.
The stinging jellyfish closed its eyes and remained silent for a long time. Finally, it spoke: “Dongku. (Since you, the wave guide messengers, have sacrificed your lives several times to save the countless lives on this planet, we, the stinging jellyfish clan, voluntarily give up this coral reef. But you must remember that not all elves are as easy to talk to as we are. Some elves physiologically hate all life except their own race.)”
As the stinging jellyfish finished speaking, a large number of agate jellyfish dived into the deep sea. Only a few of them stayed on the sea surface and said something to the stinging jellyfish. It seemed that they didn’t want to give up so easily.
The stinging jellyfish waved its tentacles vigorously, and the agate jellyfish dived into the water unwillingly, leaving the stinging jellyfish alone on the sea surface, looking up at the sky and thinking about its own thoughts.
The sea was calm, and the smell of war smoke that had just filled the air was no longer there.
“Stinging Jellyfish, what race is the Pokémon you just mentioned?” Seeing that it had no intention of going back, Xiaozhi asked suddenly.
“Donku. (You can go there by yourself. If you are willing to continue traveling, you will see them sooner or later. I hope you will not be torn into pieces by them like other humans or elves, but as long as you don’t step into their territory, basically nothing will happen.)”
The stinging jellyfish slowly dived into the sea: “Dongku. (By the way, the electric mouse on your shoulder is an unstable factor. I advise you not to mess with it.)”
“Pikapi, Pikachu! (How could I possibly hurt Satoshi? Please watch your words!)” Pikachu shouted angrily.
“Donku? (It is impossible for you to hurt him, but can you guarantee that you will treat other humans the same way?)” The stinging jellyfish disappeared, and there was no trace of it in the sea.
Xiaozhi tried to comfort Pikachu who was constantly discharging electricity. He already knew the advice given to him by the stinging jellyfish when he set out with Pikachu. This kid has his own ideas.
If not for this, Xiaozhi would not have asked Pikachu to have his own judgment at all times and not to become a fighting machine that only obeys his orders.
Xiaozhi drove the boat rented by Granny Gin back to Touzi who was standing on the shore.
After chatting for a while, the two came to Granny Yin to ask her for payment.
Granny Yin was a man of her word. After seeing that there was indeed no agate jellyfish’s body on the sea, she immediately transferred one million Alliance coins to the two people’s cards.
After Xiaozhi and Toruko finished their dinner here, the handsome young men that Granny Gin kept gave them a large stack of accommodation coupons, which were valid for all five-star hotels in the Kanto area, and were many more than a year’s worth.
Xiaozhi and his friends are trainers, and they spend most of their time traveling in the wild. If they use these accommodation coupons sparingly, it may take more than ten years before they can use them all up.
Looking at the greedy capitalist look on Granny Yin’s face, Xiaozhi said that this person had better be careful when going out in the future, in case a poisonous jellyfish gets upset with her and drags her into the water and drowns her. Even if this doesn’t happen, someone will naturally send them to be hung on the street lamp.
Maiden’s Gap Port.
After dealing with the poisonous jellyfish, Xiaozhi and Toru boarded the boat at Yumachi Pier. After several hours of sailing, they finally arrived at the port.
Chapter 039 Remnant Soul (Old Version)
“Then let’s just say goodbye here.”
After getting off the boat, Xiaozhi said to Touzi, whose destination was different from his.
He didn’t come here to attend the temple fair, but planned to go to Ziyuan Town to do some things, and then go to Jinhuang City to challenge the gym to get the badge.
“Xiaozhi, are you leaving now? Don’t you want to see me wearing a yukata?” Touko was a little surprised. She thought that Xiaozhi would attend the festival here with her before leaving.
“I’m short on time, and I don’t have the leisure to participate in these activities that I’m already tired of.” Xiaozhi said unromanticly.
“How could you get tired of such a fun memorial service, Xiaozhi?” Touzi said in disbelief, “The people who come to participate are different every year, and the programs prepared also change slightly every year.”
“I know all the activities at the temple fair by heart.”
Xiaozhi looked around the surrounding stalls and spread his hands helplessly: “It’s nothing more than catching goldfish, catching water balloons, throwing rings, and throwing balls for bidding. Apart from these, can you tell me what else there is?”
“I have done my homework. During festivals like this, some stalls sell items like wind chimes, folding fans, and masks.”
Touko took out a note from her backpack and read out the contents: “At the same time, during this festival, there will be a large number of snack shops. For example, some shops will sell fried noodles, octopus balls, taiyaki, cotton candy, apple candy…”
“Stop, stop!” Xiaozhi wiped the cold sweat from his head. “Toru, as a member of the Unova group, it’s normal for you to be interested in things you haven’t participated in. But as a Kanto native, I’ve long been accustomed to these festivals, so I’m destined not to be interested in them.”
“Also, Touko, you came to the Kanto region to participate in the Quartz Conference. You can’t focus all your attention on having fun, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when you fail to even pass the preliminaries.” He turned around and said, “I have said everything I need to say, so I will go ahead.”
“Please stay.”
Just when Xiaozhi was about to set off for Lavender Town, an old woman with a cane suddenly stopped him and said, “Listen, be careful of beautiful women. You will definitely get into trouble.”
“Old lady, who is that beautiful woman you are talking about?” Touzi asked.
“This old woman is here to cheat, Touzi, you must not be fooled by her words.”
Xiaozhi could tell at a glance that the old woman in front of him was the Millennium Gastly in the original work, but since he had already captured Gengar, he was not very interested in this Gastly.
But what interested him most was the legends handed down here.
Missing her lover who had joined the army, the girl stood on the shore every day waiting for his return, day after day, year after year, until finally the girl turned into a rock.
Although this story is a bit cliché, there were not many people who were so infatuated in that era.
Xiaozhi supported the old woman played by Gastly and secretly used the waveguide to convey the message: “I have seen through your tricks. Let me tell you the whereabouts of that woman’s lover.”
“This power, are you the wave messenger?” Gastly has lived for more than two thousand years. Although he is not as old as those mythical beasts, he has seen many strange people.
Take the Wave Messenger for example. Gastly has witnessed more than once that whenever a war breaks out, a Wave Messenger will go to the World’s Beginning Tree and offer his own Wave Messenger to stop the war.
This kind of people are simply role models among knights, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are a family of heroes.
Although Gastly was surprised, he recovered quickly. He ignored Xiaozhi’s words and said, “I have been looking for her for hundreds of years. How could a half-grown child like you know the whereabouts of her lover?”
“Age doesn’t mean anything. Knowledge is what reflects a person’s value.” Xiaozhi said calmly.
The ghost girl’s lover was just an ordinary person, and it was impossible for him to gain immortality like AZ, who created the ultimate weapon in the Kalos region, so Xiaozhi concluded that he was dead.
Now that the life and death of the ghost girl’s lover has been confirmed, the next step is easy to guess. He went to the spirit world where the souls of everyone in this world will arrive after death.
The spirit world is ruled by Giratina.
Unlike Dialga and Palkia, although Giratina was created by Arceus, it owns and controls more worlds than Arceus.
Take the three most famous ones, namely the destroyed world, the reverse world, and the spirit world.
Arceus, the creator of the Sinnoh Three Dragons, is a bit miserable. He can only stay in the beginning forever and cannot interfere with the world owned by his subordinates. This is the same as the subordinates of my subordinates are not my subordinates.
Although he is a god, he is only exercising the limited power set by the laws of nature. Although his power is powerful, it is not infinite.
“If you really know the whereabouts of her lover, I will give you a reward. Come with me.”
Gastly took Ash to where the Girl’s Rock was. Although Ash thought it was a bit desperate, he felt relieved when he thought that Gastly had no idea how many times he had circled the planet.
Looking at the Girl Rock in front of him, Xiaozhi felt a faint wave from it, just like the residual soul that people often talk about.
“Xiaoyou, this child may know the whereabouts of your lover.” Gastly shouted at the statue.
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick fog suddenly filled the place. Xiaozhi felt that the Girl Rock seemed to have formed some kind of domain that was specifically used to expel people.
As a gust of cold wind blew, the outline of the ghost girl in the thick fog gradually became clear. She looked down at Xiaozhi, with only terrible and terrifying obsession in her eyes.
“Child, do you really know where my lover is?”
Chapter 040 Thank You Gift (Old Version)
Chapter 040: Thank You Gift
“If nothing unexpected happens to your lover, then he should be in the spirit world ruled by Giratina now.” Xiaozhi replied while looking directly at the ghost girl in front of him.
“The spirit world, where is that?” Gastly asked doubtfully.
“You don’t know?” Xiaozhi looked at it strangely, “I remember there is a kind of Pokémon called Night Demon in the Sinnoh region. They can freely enter the spirit world. I thought the habitat of your ghost-attribute Pokémon is related to that.”
“I’m sorry, I really don’t know.”
Gastly rolled his eyes at Xiaozhi and said, “The habitat of us ghost-type Pokémon is in another dimension, not the spirit world that you read about in street literature.”
“So you don’t believe me?” Xiaozhi was a little unhappy, but he still suppressed his displeasure, “You have seen spirits like the Wind Ball, right? They also have the ability to enter the spirit world.”
“I know the two kinds of elves you mentioned. They have never mentioned anything about the spirit world to me.” Gastly said as he transformed into the appearance of the two elves.
Could it be that there is something wrong with the illustrated information in the games I played in my previous life?
Xiaozhi stroked his chin in self-doubt and began to ponder. The compilation of this world atlas has not been completed yet, so it can only serve as a rough introduction to the Pokémons.
The reason why Xiaozhi remembered such boring information was purely because he used to be a loyal player of the complete Pokémon Encyclopedia, and he selectively picked out the interesting information that could supplement his worldview of Pokémon.
Simply put, he was just bored and had nothing better to do.
However, it’s not Xiaozhi’s fault that there was something wrong with his intelligence. He just overlooked the most critical item.
Whether it is the Night Demon or the Wind Ball, their positions are equivalent to the ghost messengers of this world, and they cannot reveal anything about the spirit world to anyone.
If not, just wait to be devoured by Giratina.
“Okay, I think I know what’s going on.”
Gastly has lived for nearly a thousand years and is therefore knowledgeable. Seeing the self-doubt on Ash’s face and thinking about his own experiences every time he encountered Noctis, he immediately guessed what went wrong.
Obviously, the Night Demon and the Wind Ball did not tell the truth to themselves.
It originally thought that after death, humans would become earthbound spirits like Xiaoyou, and then disappear after years of suffering.
Now it seems that those disappeared earthbound spirits were not what it thought, but were taken away by the Wind Balls. It is ridiculous that it has been deceived by them for so long.
“Mr. Gastly, what do you know?” The ghost girl tilted her head and looked at Gastly who was gritting his teeth, not understanding why he was angry.
“Xiaoyou, if this kid is telling the truth, then we really have to thank him.” After saying this, Gastly floated towards the shrine, apparently wanting to take out something.
Sensing Gastly’s actions, the ghost girl knew that Gastly was planning to give the good things he had collected over the past few hundred years to the black-haired boy in front of him.
“Child, thank you very much for telling me the whereabouts of my lover. Don’t be too excited when you receive the thank-you gift later,” she teased.
Gastly came back soon, bringing with him a box of jars full of spherical gems that emitted an extremely dazzling light. If you turn on the waveguide for perception, you will find that these spherical gems contain enormous energy.
When Xiaozhi looked at the jar that Gastly brought over, his brain suddenly went into a state of shutdown. The things here were all hard-to-find MEGA Evolution Stones.
“Originally, I was planning to give you some treasures, but when I thought about you being a trainer, I took out this can of treasure from the bottom of the box.” Gastly said.
“What types of MEGA Evolution Stones are inside?” Xiaozhi asked, suppressing his excitement.
“Except for the MEGA Evolution Stones of the Starter Pokémon, Quasi-Gods, and Legendary Beasts, the MEGA Evolution Stones in here are of all kinds. You may not be able to find a merchant as good as me in the market.” Gastly threw the jar to Satoshi.
“So you really plan to give me this set of MEGA Evolution Stones?” Xiaozhi looked at the treasure in his hand, “This is really a generous gift.”
“I don’t need these things anyway, so I might as well give them to you, the destined one.” Gastly said with relief, “Although you didn’t tell me the specific location of the spirit world, now that I know the name of the place, it will be easier to find it.”
Looking at Gastly setting off with the ghost girl, Xiaozhi put the jar containing the MEGA Evolution Stone into his waist bag.
Although there are a lot of MEGA Evolution Stones in the jar, Xiaozhi does not have the most important Key Stone. Without this most crucial thing, these MEGA Evolution Stones are just beautiful stones.
Speaking of key stones, they are monopolized by the MEGA evolution inheritors in the Kalos region.
The current inheritor of MEGA Evolution is an old man named Cocobul.
If ordinary people want to obtain the key stone, they must travel thousands of miles to the Kalos region to become a disciple.
Those champions, kings, gym masters, and even the bosses and cadres of underworld organizations who used MEGA evolutions, without exception, had all become disciples of Cocobul.
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi felt a headache.
He didn’t want to hear others mention him as the disciple of so-and-so and that’s why he was so strong after he achieved something in the future.
Xiaozhi continued to move towards the nearby Lavender Town. On the way, he encountered something that made him happy: his Butterfree finally found a girlfriend.
This guy is really good at choosing. He specially found a different-colored Butterfree as his other half.
“Heterochromatic” is the official name given to color-violating elves by the Alliance, while people generally call color-violating elves “flash”.
There is no such thing as flash being a different color and different colors not being flash.
Elves with different colors from ordinary Elves are divided into two categories based on biology: standard heterochromia and non-standard heterochromia. Elves with individual differences are not included in this category.
Chapter 041 White Ghost Hand (Old Version)
Shion Town is located in the northeast of Kanto, south of the rock tunnel. It is a famous ghost town. The Elf Tower in the town is a place where deceased elves are buried.
All burial and mourning activities are carried out in the town’s Elf Tower. According to folklore, the ghostly elves in the tower are the souls of dead or murdered elves, but according to scientific research, ghostly elves are aggregates of dark energy.
Therefore, it is not the soul of an elf or something like that, but because the dark energy in places like cemeteries is more abundant, it is easier to give birth to elves with ghost attributes.
The Gengar in Xiaozhi’s body is the first generation of ghost-attribute Pokémon born from dark energy.
The first generation of ghost-attribute elves means that they are not hatched from eggs, but are elves born from the energy of nature, which is different from elves born from eggs.
The elves in legends are all born from the gathering of energy from nature.
There is also a famous place in Ziyuan Town, which is the Elves’ Home.
The Elf Home was founded by an old man named Mr. Fuji. He is not a native of Lavender Town, but he takes care of the elves who are abandoned or have lost their parents in the Elf Home.
Many people praise Mr. Fuji for his kindness, but Mr. Fuji has a side that others don’t know.
After passing the Anonymous Bridge, Xiaozhi looked at the gloomy town in front of him and walked towards the Pokémon Center in front.
He came to Lavender Town this time purely to bring the three funny guys in the Elf Tower to the Golden Gym so that the icy-faced Nancy could smile.
Nancy is a psychic with strong mental power. Xiaozhi is sure that if he defeats her, this psychic queen will not be able to accept the fact that he has lost to her and will go berserk.
Therefore, before challenging the gym this time, you must make more preparations to ensure that everything goes well.
Entering the Poké Center, Xiaozhi handed the Poké Ball to Miss Joy, then sat on the bench waiting for the broadcast to sound.
He looked around. There were very few people here. Apart from himself, a trainer who came from afar, there were only two people standing in front of the window and chatting while looking at the Pokémon Tower.
“Recently, ghosts have appeared in the Elf Tower.” The man suddenly said.
“Really?” the woman asked in disbelief.
“Yeah, a lot of people said they saw it.” The man nodded.
“Excuse me, is this thing about ghosts true?” Xiaozhi walked over and interrupted their conversation. It was not like he had never seen a ghost before. He had seen an earthbound spirit in Maiden’s Gorge not long ago.
If the so-called ghost really appeared here, Xiaozhi wouldn’t mind being an exorcist and helping the ghost fulfill his last wish.
“Well, although I didn’t see it, everyone said so.” The male said to Xiaozhi.
“Do you think there will be ghosts?” the woman asked Xiaozhi.
“Maybe…”
Xiaozhi paused for a moment, as if considering his words: “However, I personally think that those so-called ghosts are just strong bio-wave signals that remain in the human world.”
“Really? Haha, then I guess I saw it wrongly that there is a white hand on your left shoulder.” The woman said awkwardly.
A white hand on the left shoulder?
Xiaozhi subconsciously activated the wave barrier and quickly turned his head, but saw nothing. He then looked at the two men and women, only to find that they were gone.
Am I being fooled?
As soon as this idea came to Xiaozhi’s mind, he rejected it.
There was indeed something on my shoulder just now, but I thought it was Pikachu. In fact, Pikachu and the others were receiving treatment now. When I found something wrong and turned around, it disappeared at lightning speed.
In other words, I let a thing I didn’t even know what it was stay on my shoulder for nearly two minutes? !
This is not the scariest thing. After Xiaozhi turned on the wave guide, he did not sense any living creatures other than him and Miss Joy.
In other words, the two men and women who just talked to Xiaozhi are probably not real humans.
The evidence is that it is impossible for an ordinary person to disappear from the eyes of a wave guide messenger in such a short time. Even if a super-powered person uses teleportation, it will leave signs of distortion in the surrounding space.
“Xiaozhi from Pallet Town, please go to the front desk to pick up your Pokémon.”
When Xiaozhi heard the voice calling him on the radio, he went to the front desk to pick up his Pokémon and left the Pokémon Center.
However, Xiaozhi did not go to the Elf Tower, but came to the famous Elf House in the town. He now needed to confirm one thing before taking any action.
Arriving at the door of the Elf House, Xiaozhi looked at the simple house in front of him, walked forward and knocked on the door gently.
“Here it comes!” A girl’s voice came from inside the house.
Soon, the cabin was opened, and a girl with short brown hair, cute twin ponytails, wearing a pink top and a white pleated skirt appeared in front of Xiaozhi.
“Hello, what can I do for you?” the girl looked at Xiaozhi and asked.
“Hello, I’m Xiaozhi. I heard that there is a rescue station called the Elf Home in this town, so I came here specially to visit.” Xiaozhi said.
“I’m Reina, one of the staff here.”
Reina walked in front and led the way: “Since Mr. Xiaozhi wants to visit here, please follow me.”
The two walked through the hall and came to the back of the house where the elves lived.
The room is divided into many compartments, each of which is inhabited by an elf, all of which are in their initial form and have not evolved. These small elves look quite cute, and there are volunteers to help feed them.
Xiaozhi felt the waves coming from these elves, and they were grateful to the volunteers who took care of them.
Influenced by this, Xiaozhi felt himself enveloped by an unprecedented sense of happiness.
However, before Xiaozhi could enjoy the wave, he noticed that there was a Pokémon that didn’t fit in, leaning against the corner, afraid of humans.
Chapter 042 Ghost Attack (Old Version)
“Grandpa Fuji, who founded this elf house, said that there are many people in the world who use elves as props or accessories.”
Reina opened the compartment that Xiaozhi was looking at: “This was originally Grandpa Fuji’s house, and it was remodeled like this for the elves.”
“Mr. Fuji is truly a kind and loving person who loves elves.”
Xiaozhi walked into the compartment and found that it was a Caracara that released the warning wave: “Excuse me, what happened to this Caracara?”
“Carakara is still a little baby. He is only willing to get close to Grandpa Fuji and is very wary of other people.” Reina smiled bitterly, and there was a bit more pity in her eyes when she looked at Carakara.
“What’s the reason?” Xiaozhi asked.
“It was because of Team Rocket.” Reina explained, “That day, Caracara was hunted by Team Rocket members near the town like other Pokémon. Caracara was quickly captured by Team Rocket because he was just born. In order to let him escape, his mother was brutally killed by Team Rocket.”
“Team Rocket?” Xiaozhi closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Finally, Grandpa Fuji found the Caracara outside and brought it back.”
Reina squatted down and tried to approach Caracara, but Caracara dodged flexibly and gave a warning sound: “Since then, this child is unwilling to get close to anyone other than Grandpa Fuji.”
“So, where is Mr. Fuji now?” Xiaozhi stated the main purpose of his coming here this time, “I want to find him for something.”
“Grandpa Fuji entered the Elf Tower alone yesterday. He went to negotiate with Team Rocket who occupied the Elf Tower, and he hasn’t come back yet.” Reina stood up, looking uneasy.
“When did Team Rocket come to this town?” Ash asked.
“Without any warning, they suddenly showed up uninvited in a truck and immediately occupied the place. They also rudely kicked out the people who came to worship.” Reina lowered her head in disappointment. “From that day on, no one can enter the Spirit Tower anymore.”
“I already know the details.” Xiaozhi walked to Caracara’s side, “Caracara, do you want to help me rescue your benefactor?”
“Mr. Xiaozhi, do you want to rescue Grandpa Fuji?” Reina stopped him, “No, this is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die at the hands of Team Rocket.”
“From the moment I chose to be the enemy of Team Rocket, I was already aware of this.”
Xiaozhi picked up Caracalla, who had a determined look in his eyes, turned his head and looked at Reina indifferently: “Besides, there is life on the path of righteousness, and there is no death in its way.”
Reina looked at Xiaozhi’s red eyes, as if she felt the belief of sacrificing one’s life for righteousness. She thought that this attitude was the true appearance of the young man in front of her, without emotion and extremely cold, keeping people at a distance.
She took a half step back and stopped trying to stop Xiaozhi and Caracalla.
“Mr. Satoshi, you must come back safely no matter what.” Reina put her hands on her chest and shouted to Satoshi who was walking towards the Elf Tower.
Xiaozhi didn’t reply, but his actions didn’t hesitate at all.
The elf tower in the distance exudes a strange atmosphere, but this cannot stop Xiaozhi from moving forward. He is just like the righteous man often mentioned in the Bible, like the light of dawn.
The door of the Elf Tower was pushed open, and a large number of elves with ghost attributes poured out. They hurriedly fled the tower like prey targeted by hunters.
Xiaozhi stepped into the tower, and three Pokémon gathered around him, namely Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar.
“Haunter! (There are bad guys in the tower, human, you’d better leave here quickly!)” Haunter circled around Ash and made a scary expression.
“Garritz! (My second brother is right, you can’t deal with them!)” Gastly hit Xiaozhi, trying to knock him out of the tower.
“Gen Si! (Hurry up and leave, or when those bad guys come to their senses, you won’t be able to escape!)” Gengar looked back at the stairs and said anxiously.
“I came to the Elf Tower just to deal with those scum of society. I won’t leave here until they leave.”
Xiaozhi walked past Gengar and the others and walked up the stairs: “If you are worried about me, then come and help me. I won’t let you fight with the Rocket Team. You just need to assist me when necessary.”
Gengar and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Haunter floated to Ash’s side. It had already made its decision to drive away the evil Team Rocket and restore the Pokemon Tower to its original state.
Seeing that their brother was determined to leave, Gengar and Gastly looked at each other and made a decision to help Ash defeat Team Rocket in the tower.
This is their homeland, and we must never allow it to be occupied by evil people.
“Human, we have chosen to help you, but after the matter is resolved, you have to help us find a stage to perform our pranks.”
“That’s easy.” In response to Gengar’s request, Xiaozhi nodded slightly to indicate that there was no problem.
“Gen Si? (So, what do you need us to do next?)”
“Geng Li, you just sneak up and use hypnosis on those lone Team Rocket members.” Xiaozhi gave the order, and Gengar and the others immediately took action.
Although Xiaozhi’s strength is fully capable of dealing with the Rocket Team, it is always better to reduce the number of enemies appropriately to avoid being exhausted by them.
Xiaozhi carried Caracalla to the second floor. Before fighting Team Rocket, he still needed to deal with the ghost incident here.
After looking around at the tombstones around him and confirming that his target was not here, Xiaozhi walked up to a higher level. Finding ghosts is also a technical job.
“Get out of here!”
Chapter 043 Team Rocket’s Cadres (Old Version)
Just on the stairs leading to the last floor of the Elf Tower, a ghost covered in purple smoke appeared, emitting the smell of gas.
Xiaozhi had heard about this before and did not show any sign of being at a loss.
Even if Xiaozhi had not heard of any news about ghosts before arriving at the Elf Tower, he would not be wary of such things. The ghost in front of him, wrapped in purple smoke, did not have the deep and unfathomable obsession of the vengeful spirit.
At least Xiaozhi didn’t hear any tone of hatred for humans in its words, but rather a tone of advice.
So, the true form of this thing is actually…
“Kara!” Kara Kara seemed to recognize the identity of the ghost. It struggled hard to break free from Xiaozhi’s arms and pounced towards the ghost.
After hearing Caracalla’s cry, the ghost wrapped in purple smoke trembled obviously. It slowly fell to the ground and the smoke on its body gradually dissipated.
As expected, the ghost’s true identity is Caracalla’s deceased mother.
Galagala hugged his child. He turned into a groundbound spirit in the Elf Tower because he still had attachment to the earthly world.
It didn’t know whether its child had managed to escape after it blocked Team Rocket that day. If Caracalla had escaped, then as an earthbound spirit, it would have the possibility of seeing Caracalla again.
As long as it sees its child, it means that its sacrifice has not been in vain and it has survived safely.
Now that Galagala has seen his child, the obsession in his heart and his last wish before death have been fulfilled at this moment, and it has no reason to stay in this world any longer.
Galagala let go of Karakala and slowly flew into the sky.
Its spirit began to fade, as if it would disappear in an instant, but the smile on its face was a happy one, which came from the mother’s selfless love for her child.
Caracalla looked up at the night sky, but his mother’s figure was no longer there. He felt a deep sorrow in his heart.
Caracalla wanted to cry at this moment, but he couldn’t, because he had promised his mother that he had grown up.
In order to let Gala Gala leave peacefully, Carakala held back the tears that were about to burst out, and stood in silence at the place where Gala Gala disappeared.
Xiaozhi did not call Caracalla who was calming down, and went to the top floor of the Pokemon Tower alone. That was where the Rocket Team gathered. He was going to fight with the cadres leading this group of Rocket Team.
Feedback from the waveguide pulse told Xiaozhi that Gengar and his group had already eliminated a large number of Team Rocket members that were stranded alone, and there was only one strong male left on the top floor.
Xiaozhi released Stotle. He knew that the person above was also waiting for him and he had to be prepared for sneak attacks.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, the trainer who commanded those ghost-attribute Pokémon to launch a surprise attack on our Team Rocket.” The blue-haired man said softly, with a Zubat hiding behind him.
Xiaozhi ignored the man, “Squirtle, aim at his head and use Water Wave.”
The blue-haired man quickly threw out a Poké Ball, which was a double-bullet Gas, and used its body to help him block the high-pressure water flow that could smash a human’s head.
“That was a close call!” The blue-haired man whistled provocatively, “My name is Lance. Your instructions just now were indeed a bit dangerous. This is not something a child should do. How about a 1v1 battle?”
“Continue to use Water Wave, target Double Bullet Gas.”
After hearing Xiaozhi’s command, Stotle aimed at the Double-Bomb Gas and fired a water column as thick as a python. The pressure exceeded the peak that Stotle could reach.
Affected by this powerful impact, the double-bomb gas floating in the air retreated more than ten meters, smashing many tombstones along the way.
“Double gas, sludge attack!” Lance gave the order, but the target of the attack was not Stottle.
The moment the Double-Bomb Gas spit out mud, Xiaozhi quickly rolled to the right and found an intact tombstone as cover.
The corrosive power of this sludge is extremely strong. When it fell on the place where Xiaozhi had just stood, it immediately melted a big hole in the floor and emitted a foul-smelling poisonous gas.
“Squirtle, use the water cannon on the double-shot gas.”
This Gastly must be dealt with as soon as possible. Xiaozhi is sure that Lance will not really have a 1V1 battle with him.
I’m afraid that after Stottle successfully defeated Gizzard, Lance ordered Golbat hiding behind him to launch a surprise attack on him. Of course, he couldn’t possibly act in advance, and the waveguide had to be kept on throughout this battle.
Xiaozhi calmed his breathing and put the Pikachu on his shoulder to the ground: “Don’t let anything get close to me, understand?”
Pikachu wisely kept silent, nodded to Ash, and ran to the messy group of tombstones, ready to electrocute Golbat into charcoal at any time.
Xiaozhi stood up, and used the waveguide to put a thin film on his body that could be called an energy barrier, which could currently block all attacks below the level of the Uranus.
Waveguides have many functions.
For example, mind reading and telepathy; sensing other people’s waves, investigating the environment, sensing and seeing through objects; projecting one’s own waves, such as creating barriers or attacks; transferring waves to other creatures, but it is a deadly method for the messenger; activating the reaction of the flower of time; releasing airflow to blow on animals.
Of course, the most important thing is that it can amplify the power of the elves’ wave and wave-type moves, such as Wave Missile, Evil Wave, Dragon Wave, Water Wave, Root Wave, Earth Wave, and Healing Wave. This effect can be superimposed with the super launcher characteristics.
It is worth mentioning that the energy used in the two moves of Seeing Through and Sending Power is waveguide and wave. The former is to detect the movements around through waveguide, and the latter is to concentrate the wave on the palm. The color of the waveguide of each creature is different and is related to the personality.
The perspective shifted to the battlefield, where Squirtle and Gastly were facing off. The power of the Water Cannon and the Sludge Bomb were equally matched, and they stayed at the center point and refused to give in to either side.
Fortunately, Xiaozhi fed Stotle the highest-level energy blocks when training him, otherwise there would be no way to get a tie.
Chapter 044 Kneeling? Or Standing! (Old Version)
“Boy, you have pretty good skills, do you want to join our Rocket Team?”
Lance stopped Vash from attacking. Xiaozhi was so young but had such strength. Team Rocket was in urgent need of such talents.
However, Xiaozhi was destined to not accept his invitation. Xiaozhi was living a happy and fulfilling life now, and was too bored to work for a mafia organization and help them subvert the alliance.
The league is indeed corrupt, but allowing the Rockets, this dog, to turn over and become the master will only make today’s society more chaotic.
“Squirtle, retract into your shell and spin at high speed, and use your Water Tail at maximum power on the Double-Bomb Gas.” Although there was no answer to Lance’s words, the order issued by Xiaozhi was the best interpretation of this sentence.
“It looks like you’re going to refuse?”
Lance shook his head regretfully: “Since you can’t be used by our Rocket Team, then you’ll have no choice but to die here! Double bomb gas, malicious pursuit!”
The Vicious Pursuit move will be twice as powerful as before as long as the opponent has been damaged.
As Stotle’s water tail hit Gastly, Gastly’s eyes became extremely fierce. The big gas bomb bit Stotle, while the small gas bomb kept releasing poison gas.
Staring at the troubled Stolett, Xiaozhi quickly thought of a way out: “Water Cannon, switch to firing mode.”
There are two types of water cannons: one is a water column and the other is a water ball.
Xiaozhi did not let Stotle change the shape and properties of Water Cannon, but asked it to change the firing mode. Instead of simply firing from its mouth, it retracted its body into its shell and then fired from inside the shell in a rotating manner.
The teeth of Gastly were rubbed by Stottle’s shell and it hurt. In addition, Stottle kept pouring water into it, which made Gastly feel like vomiting.
“You’re really good at being clever.” Lance was a little impatient, “Double bomb gas, sludge bomb!”
“Hold on.” Xiaozhi commanded with ease.
The sludge bomb has a strong corrosive power, but for Squirtle, who is famous for his defensive ability, using Defend to block this move is a piece of cake.
Looking at Stottle hiding in the energy barrier, Double-Bomb Gas increased the output power of energy, and there was a zero point to guard against. The barrier could be forcibly broken through with an attack frequency like a tide.
Xiaozhi saw the cracks appearing on the energy barrier and realized that Stotle couldn’t hide in it any longer: “Get out of the way.”
Stotle’s reaction was quick. After hearing Ash’s order, he immediately moved in a direction where there were no tombstones, although this move was not very wise in Ash’s opinion.
Using a tombstone as a natural barrier is better than standing in a place with nothing, but it is a bit unfair to the tomb owner.
“Double Bomb Gas, use the Sludge Wave to decide the outcome.”
Lance is well-known in Team Rocket for being cruel and terrible. He likes to defeat his enemies in the shortest time possible and then torture them. He hates long battles.
Therefore, a trainer like Xiaozhi, who is able to adapt to changing circumstances and has his own way of dealing with situations, has been included in Lance’s revenge list.
“Squirtle, Water Wave.” Xiaozhi originally planned to let Squirtle use Water Cannon, but Squirtle’s physical strength was severely depleted, so he gave up this option.
The two sides started fighting again, and the exhausted Squirtle was obviously unable to gain an evenly matched advantage like last time.
The water waves amplified by Xiaozhi’s waveguide were pushed back little by little by the mud wave. Stolett looked at the mud wave getting closer and closer and a look of giving up appeared on his face. He reduced his output power.
“Are you trying to make me disappointed in you?”
Xiaozhi looked at the defeated Stotle and said with a rare hint of anger: “I have spent so many resources on you, not just to let you surrender to the enemy!”
“Kami! (But the enemy is too strong, I can’t defeat it!)” said Stottle in a crying voice.
“I haven’t given up yet, so why should you stand there and show weakness to me?” His voice became colder and colder. “Do you want to lose to those evil bastards on your knees, or do you want to fight with all your might and die gloriously?”
Stotle was stunned. It had never thought that its trainer would fight with this kind of awareness, risking his life in the hope of survival.
In a trance, Stotle, as a Pokémon, felt that it was not worthy of its trainer.
Squirtle increased its output power, pushing the water waves forward: “Ka-mi! (I don’t want to! I want to defeat the enemy standing up and return victorious!)”
A dazzling luster appeared on Stotle’s body, which was a sign of evolution. It wanted to be the leader of the team and it wanted to be Ash’s shield.
Compared to Stottle, Blastoise’s body has become much stronger, with its torso covered with a huge and thick shell, and two water cannons extending from the front of the shell.
“Double-Bomb Gas, stop using the Mud Wave and get closer to the opponent!” Lance said emotionlessly.
There were too many variables today. Team Rocket came here to capture Pokémon and sell them at high prices on the black market to obtain the funds needed by the organization. Lance never thought that the plan would be stopped by a passing trainer.
However, these were not the reasons that made Lance angry. As one of the 4th cadre of Team Rocket, he was actually on par with a newcomer who had just debuted.
Although this was due to his lack of strength, Lance could not tolerate it and he wanted to make Xiaozhi pay the price.
“This is?”
Xiaozhi looked at the double-bullet gas rushing towards him, and seemed to think of something, and suddenly shouted: “Blottus, quickly cast Guard!”
Gasoline floated towards Ash, dazzling white light flashing on its body. This was not a sign of evolution, but a killer move – self-destruction.
Blastoise hugged Xiaozhi. It didn’t have time to use the Protect technique, so it had to turn its back to Vexel and use its hard shell to block the self-explosion.
It was as if a fuel-air bomb had exploded. The violent roar pierced his eardrums. Xiaozhi felt that the world had fallen into silence, and only the spinning of the sky and the earth remained in his eyes.
“You’re not dead? You’re such a tough kid.”
Lance retracted the double-bullet gas and gave an order to Zubat: “Bite the aorta in his neck.”
Golbat excitedly flew towards Xiaozhi who was covering his shoulders. Like a vampire, it couldn’t wait to enjoy its dessert.
However, before Golbat could fly to Ash, a golden electric current came like the god of thunder, mercilessly bombarding Golbat’s body and turning it into charcoal.
Chapter 045 Old Man Fuji (Old Version)
“I didn’t expect you to have a backup plan.”
Lance followed the direction of the electric current and his sight fell on a group of tombstones. The moonlight drove away the darkness in the tower, revealing the figure of Pikachu.
After taking back the Golbat which had lost its ability to fight, Lance really didn’t know how to evaluate Ash at this moment. He actually calculated what would happen after the battle. He was not an ordinary person.
Xiaozhi slowly stood up and rubbed his aching forehead. His hand seemed to touch a sticky liquid with the smell of rust.
Blastoise protected himself from the massive self-destruct used by Gastly, but the impact sent them flying into the sky, causing them to free fall.
If it weren’t for the energy barrier film condensed by waves on his body, he would have almost gone to Giratina to report.
If possible, Xiaozhi never wants to experience this feeling again in his life. It is so terrible.
Xiaozhi gently shook off the blood on his hands. There seemed to be a hint of fierceness in his red eyes, and he stared at Lance like the god of death.
“Young man, tell me your full name. You are an opponent worthy of my memory.” Lance put his hand in his pocket, as if he wanted to take something out.
“Source wisdom.”
Xiaozhi reported his full name and used the energy in his body to cover the surface of his body: “Mr. Lance, are you planning to kill me?”
“Yes, I have said it before. Anyone who cannot be used by the Rockets will end up dead.”
Lance had a look of regret in his eyes and slowly took his hand out of his pocket.
When Xiaozhi saw what Lance was holding in his hand, his pupils subconsciously shrank a little. What Lance was holding in his hand was something he had seen countless times in his previous life. It was widely used in various wars and had killed tens of millions of civilians.
There is no doubt that I should have thought of it long ago, why Team Rocket can stand firm in this world, they are not a simple underworld organization.
They are an armed company and have a large number of firearms.
After loading the gun, Lance pulled the trigger of the pistol, and the bullet filled with murderous intent swept over like a hail of bullets.
“How is that possible?”
Lance thought that Xiaozhi would fall under this powerful attack, but he never expected that he would be emitting blue light and standing in front of him unharmed.
The highly penetrating bullet shell fell to the ground. Xiaozhi looked at the shocked Lance with disdain, a sarcastic smile on his lips, fooling this man whose life was in countdown.
“Could it be that you have special abilities?” Lance’s eyes widened with anger.
“Since you have guessed this, I can’t let you leave this Pokémon Tower alive.” Xiaozhi stepped lightly on the ground, and Gengar, who was hiding in his shadow, emerged briskly.
Xiaozhi’s wave guide alone cannot completely block these bullets. Under the wave guide barrier, there is also a defensive barrier cast by Gengar.
But having said that, this life-and-death battle is still quite exciting.
Xiaozhi knows the limits of his wave energy barrier so far, such as what kind of moves it can block and how long it can last against certain gun fire.
He whispered, “Geng Gui, aim at his head and use Psychic.”
With a dull sound, Lance knelt on the ground with blood flowing from all his orifices. Xiaozhi passed the enemy with an exploded head and searched for the figure of old man Fuji.
In fact, before ordering Gengar to use Psychic, Xiaozhi once thought about whether he should let Gengar use telekinesis to freeze Lance, and then use the wave to condense an air sword in his hand to chop off his head while he was unable to move.
However, Xiaozhi had no taste for torturing the enemy, so he had to give up this bloody and violent option and chose a relatively gentle solution.
Thinking about it this way, I seem a little bit stupid.
“Pikapi, Pikachu. (Ash, I didn’t expect you to kill your own kind.)” Pikachu climbed onto Ash’s shoulder with ease.
“Do you think they are the same kind as me?” Xiaozhi touched Pikachu’s head, as if to tell it that it doesn’t have a fever.
“Pikachu? Pikapi. (Isn’t it? Xiaozhi, you are a human just like this guy.)” Pikachu was speechless. It seemed that there was something wrong with its owner. He didn’t always dare to take responsibility for his actions.
“He is a human, yes, but Pikachu, do you think I, who possesses the power of waves, am a human?” he asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaozhi seemed to sense something. After putting Pikachu, who was acting as a burden, on the ground, he quickly ran in a certain direction.
Pikachu stared at Ash’s back, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. He knew that his trainer’s thinking was different from that of ordinary people, but he never thought that he would say such words.
“Thank you so much, Xiaozhi.”
In the room of the Elf House, old man Fuji looked kindly at the black-haired boy in front of him who was covered in wounds.
Xiaozhi has handed over Team Rocket, which has occupied the Pokemon Tower, to the local police.
As for the brain-dead Lance, Ash asked Haunter and the others to throw him into the sea to feed the fish. It is estimated that he has been eaten until not even a bone is left.
“I just did what I was supposed to do.”
Xiaozhi waved his hand gently. Although this battle was a great victory, the most serious damage were the tombstones in the Elf Tower.
Because of the huge explosion caused by the Double Bomb Gas, almost all the elves’ ashes buried on the top floor…
The people in the town did not ask Xiaozhi to make compensation, and they all understood that some sacrifices were inevitable.
“Although I don’t know if it will be useful to you, I have something I want to give you.” After saying that, old man Fuji walked to the cabinet and took out two things from it.
Old man Fuji was holding a box and a flute in his hands. Both items looked very worn out, but there was not a trace of dust on the surface.
Xiaozhi didn’t know what was in the box yet, but he recognized that flute, the Elf Flute.
“I won’t go into details about the flute. Xiaozhi, please open this box.” Old man Fuji gently placed the box on the table.
Chapter 046 Keystone (Old Version)
Xiaozhi opened the box handed to him by old man Fuji and found that it contained a total of five round gems, four large and one small, with leaf-like patterns inlaid in the gems.
If you use the waveguide to sense it, you will find that it contains an extremely huge amount of energy, which can resonate with the spirit and allow it to surpass its own limits.
Xiaozhi recognized the objects inside. The big ones were Mega Evolution Stones, and the small ones were Key Stones.
Although it is still unknown which Pokémon these MEGA Evolution Stones belong to, this gift makes Xiaozhi feel that his injuries were not in vain. What he lacks now is the Key Stone that serves as a medium.
Xiaozhi played with the key stone as if it were a treasure, and asked, “By the way, what are these Mega Evolution Stones of Pokémon?”
Gastly of Maiden Gorge gave him a set of MEGA Evolution Stones, but there was no MEGA Evolution Stones for the Starter Pokémon, Quasi-Gods, and Legendary Beasts. Compared with other MEGA Evolution Stones, the latter are indeed rare among rare items.
“These two are Charizard’s Mega Evolution Stones X and Y.”
Elder Fuji looked at the remaining two MEGA Evolution Stones and fell into silence for a long time: “As for the remaining two, they are imitations of Charizard MEGA Evolution Stones X and Y. I don’t know what kind of elves they belong to.”
“Imitation?” Xiaozhi whispered the word, “Then why did you give it to me, Mr. Fuji?”
“If I keep it here, it will only attract people to covet it.”
Old Fuji sighed, “Team Rocket came to Lavender Town mainly because of me.”
“What do you mean?” Xiaozhi saw some self-blame in old man Fuji’s eyes, which was a confession for the mistakes he made when he was young.
“I used to be a doctor of Team Rocket, specializing in cloning elves.” Old Fuji said slowly, “I had a daughter who died young, her name was Xiao Ai. In order to find a way to revive Xiao Ai, I chose to cooperate with Team Rocket.”
“Back then, Team Rocket got the mysterious eyelash fossil from somewhere, and wanted me to help them realize their plan to create a god.”
At this point, old man Fuji paused for a moment, as if he didn’t know whether he should continue speaking.
But when he saw Xiaozhi’s curious eyes, he chose to speak out: “Xiaozhi, as a trainer, you should know Ditto, right? It is the product of the failure of Team Rocket’s God-building plan.”
“Perhaps it’s compassion that’s at work. When I saw that group of Ditto being dealt with by Team Rocket, I felt that this experiment was inhumane.”
Old Fuji raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window: “So on that rainy night ten years ago, when the champion of the League headquarters led his troops to encircle Team Rocket, I escaped with the group of Ditto and took away a lot of information about cloning. I handed it over to the League as evidence to accuse Team Rocket of crimes.”
“After that day, Team Rocket hated me to the core. However, since I was the person in charge of the God-making Project, Team Rocket thought that I might be useful to them again in the future, so they chose to let me go.”
Old Fuji closed his eyes. “Half a month ago, the God-making Project had a new breakthrough, but encountered some technical difficulties. Team Rocket’s leader Sakaki thought of me, so he sent these people to ask me to go back and continue to work for them. I didn’t want to agree to them, but Team Rocket occupied the Elf Tower as their base and hunted a large number of elves during this period, hoping that I would willingly compromise.”
“I see. That’s how it is. Caracalla’s mother was also there at that time. I was wondering why old man Fuji would go to negotiate with Team Rocket alone.” Xiaozhi put the thing old man Fuji gave him into his waist pocket. He was originally wondering why Team Rocket came to Lavender Town, but he didn’t expect there was this factor involved.
“Xiaozhi, since you have chosen to be the enemy of Team Rocket, then I hope you can take this child away.” As old man Fuji finished his words, a pool of purple elves like mud jumped onto the table.
Name: Ditto
Gender: None
Features: Soft
Attributes: General
Strength: Elite
Information: A failed product of cloning dreams, able to transform into anything at will, with average talent and elite potential.
“I thought Mr. Fuji would let me take Caracalla away.” Xiaozhi looked at the Ditto with a rich expression on the table and couldn’t help but reach out to touch its body.
I have to say, this body is really soft and elastic.
“The child Caracara is very stubborn. He wants to stay in the Elf Home to protect the elves living here.”
Old Fuji looked at Caracara who was taking care of the elves outside the door, and said with relief: “I gave this Ditto to you, Xiaozhi, mainly because I want it to help you hide its true identity. It is very experienced in transformation.”
Golden City is a well-connected city in the Kanto region, located between Cerulean City, Rainbow City, Vermilion City, and Aster Town.
Golden City is the largest, most prosperous and busiest city in the Kanto region, and is also very famous in other regions.
The huge Silver Corporation headquarters building stands in the center of the city, and there are two gyms occupying the northeast corner of the city.
This is not only the central business district of the Kanto region, but also has the largest infrastructure in the region, including a maglev train station connecting the Kanto region and the Johto region.
Xiaozhi said goodbye to Old Man Fuji, and after a few days of travel, he finally arrived at the golden city known as the heart of Kanto.
After resting at the Pokémon Center, Xiaozhi came to the northeast part of the city, where there are two gyms, the Golden Gym, and the Fighting Gym that lost in the battle for the First Army Gym and became the Second Army Gym.
Chapter 047 Golden Gym (Old Version)
Xiaozhi does not plan to challenge this fighting dojo that has become a second-tier gym now. He plans to defeat Nancy and obtain the golden badge, and then go to the fighting dojo for training.
Pushing open the door of the Golden Gym, Xiaozhi walked into this psychic gym. Everywhere he looked, he saw psychics in meditation.
Xiaozhi ignored this group of psychics who were practicing. The ability he possessed was wave guidance, which was completely different from psychics. This group of psychics obviously could not help him improve his strength.
Going deeper into the gym, Xiaozhi looked around at the vast battle field in front of him and thought that the decoration here was really luxurious.
Xiaozhi looked up at the door curtain on the platform opposite and could vaguely see the figure of a girl holding a doll, with a strange red light flashing in her eyes.
“Another challenger who doesn’t know his place.”
The door curtain slowly rose up, and after Nancy placed the doll she was holding on the chair, she floated to the position of the gym owner.
Nancy exuded a pressure that was unique to people with psychic powers. Xiaozhi felt his breathing seemed to become a little heavier, and then he released a wave of spiritual energy to suppress it back without showing any weakness.
“Challenger, tell me what this power in you is?” Nancy asked curiously.
“If you want to know, then do your best to beat me.” Xiaozhi said lightly.
“It’s settled, the rules of the game are 1V1, and neither side can go back on their word in this match.” Nancy threw out the Poké Ball, and a Alakazam appeared on the battlefield.
Xiaozhi had already thought about what Pokémon he wanted to send out. He stepped lightly on the ground twice, and Gengar jumped out from his shadow.
Both combatants were staring intently at their opponents, neither intending to issue any orders.
Facing an opponent like Nancy, Xiaozhi didn’t want to capsize in the gutter, so he simply activated the power of wave guidance to command: “(Geng Gui, Shadow Ball.)”
“Gen Si!”
Black balls condensed in Gengar’s hands and he threw them at Alakazam one after another, with no intention of stopping.
Faced with these unstoppable shadow balls, Alakazam held the telekinetic spoon in his hand with a blue glow flashing in his eyes, and he actually stopped these flying shadow balls in place.
Gengar opened his eyes wide in shock, as if he had not expected Alakazam to be able to do this. He kept dodging these controlled shadow balls.
“Alakazam, illusion ray!”
Alakazam gave up control of the Shadow Ball. It grasped the soup spoon tightly and shot colorful rays of light at Gengar, as if it could put the opponent into a state of confusion.
Looking at this colorful spiritual power beam, Xiaozhi calmly commanded: “(Geng Gui, avoid using Tooth for Tooth.)”
The tooth-for-tooth move, if used after the opponent performs a move, will double its power.
Gengar nimbly dodged the illusion light and suddenly appeared behind Alakazam, opening its mouth wide and trying to bite its head hard.
“Alakazam, teleport.”
Alakazam suddenly disappeared from the spot, and Gengar’s moves failed. Both sides on the battlefield were not injured at all.
Xiaozhi was impressed by the abnormality of the psychic-attributed Pokémon in his heart, and at the same time was thinking about how to break the current situation.
“(Geng Gui, use surprise attack when the opponent is accumulating energy.)”
Nancy looked at Gengar floating in the air, confused by its delay in attacking. The silent opponent made the psychic queen fall into deep thought.
After a long time, Nancy didn’t plan to wait any longer: “Alakazam, Psychic Blade!”
Alakazam swung the telekinetic spoon in his hand forward with force, and the materialized heart blade attacked Gengar at an extremely fast speed.
Gengar could no longer wait, and the evil energy of the sudden attack filled his entire body. After successfully avoiding these sharp blades of the heart, he aimed his sharp claws at Alakazam’s abdomen and struck it fiercely.
Dark-attribute moves are naturally effective against psychic-attribute Pokémon, and Alakazam was affected by this and vomited the acid in his stomach.
“Alakazam, self-regeneration.”
In an instant, a layer of white film flashed across Hu Di’s body, and there was no sign of any scar on its body.
Xiaozhi used the waveguide to sense and found that although Alakazam’s injuries had apparently recovered, its mental energy had been consumed greatly.
“(Geng Gui, continuous shadow balls.)”
Xiaozhi is preparing to start a war of attrition with Nancy. No matter how buggy the psychic-attribute moves are, the consumption of mental energy is simply not something that ordinary Pokémon can afford. If they continue fighting like this, they will definitely win.
Gengar kept throwing shadow balls, each with only a small amount of energy in it.
Despite this, the Shadow Balls still swept towards Alakazam like a machine gun, and this attack made Alakazam unable to take care of himself.
“Alakazam, teleport.” Nancy tried to avoid the attack. After self-regeneration, Alakazam’s mental energy was greatly consumed. Plus, it was very fragile, so it tried not to catch the Shadow Ball, which was extremely effective.
Do you think you can escape?
There was a hint of teasing in Xiaozhi’s eyes when he looked at Nancy. Now victory was only a matter of time.
After several instant teleportations, Alakazam half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
Although the mental energy consumption of instant teleportation is not as great as self-regeneration, repeated use still makes this Alakazam tired.
“Alakazam, be strong!” Nancy didn’t plan to run away anymore. She realized that if she kept hiding, she would be the only one who lost. She might as well fight with all her might.
The powerful telekinesis froze Gengar in place, unable to move. After a long time, a blue aura of reduced special defense flashed on Gengar’s body.
“Geng Gui, use the wave of evil! (Just in case, set up a same-fate situation!)”
Chapter 048 Slap (Old Version)
Evil energy gushed out from Gengar’s body, devouring its mental power and attacking Alakazam floating in the air.
At such a close distance, Alakazam should have lost his ability to fight.
However, Nancy used her super powers to amplify Alakazam, allowing it to block the waves of evil.
“(Take advantage of the victory and use Shadow Fist to knock it down for me.)”
Xiaozhi looked at Nancy, whose eyes emitted a terrifying red light, and his eyes became a little more serious. There was really not much point in ending the battle like this.
The strength of the Golden Gym is among the best in the Kanto region, not only because the psychic attribute Pokémon are difficult to deal with, but more because of Nancy’s own psychic abilities.
Just like the wave messenger can give silent commands through the wave, amplifying the power of the elves’ wave and wave-type moves.
People with super powers can also amplify the mental power of their own elves to a certain extent, which is equivalent to defeating two opponents in one battle.
Nini has now entered a desperate state. She did not order Alakazam to continue hiding, but instead let Alakazam and Gengar fight head-on.
“Alakazam, Psychic Attack!”
The materialized noetic waves wrapped around Alakazam like thorns, and to Xiaozhi it looked like a piece of armor.
Gengar’s Shadow Fist hit Alakazam, causing it to throw its hands away in pain. The saying “killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of your own” is the most appropriate way to describe the current situation.
“(Use the evil wave with maximum power at close range!)”
Don’t you have anti-armor? I’ll use my ultimate right at your face and see how you can block it!
Xiaozhi used the waveguide to amplify Gengar, and the wave of evil was amplified, as if it had entered the super transmitter characteristics.
The evil energy wave instantly submerged Alakazam. Gengar continued to release the evil wave with no intention of stopping, fearing that Alakazam would revive.
When the smoke cleared, Hu Di fell to the ground helplessly, losing his ability to fight.
Looking at Alakazam with mosquito-coated eyes, Nancy knelt on the ground in disbelief. This was the first time she had been defeated since becoming a gym leader.
“How is this possible? This shouldn’t be the case.” Naz muttered in despair, “This kind of thing shouldn’t happen to me!”
She raised her head and looked at Xiaozhi, her eyes flashing red. “I can’t lose! Right! That’s right! I shouldn’t be the loser in this battle! Your special ability interferes with the accuracy of my superpowers! Please die, fellow!”
Oh no, this is going to go haywire.
Xiaozhi walked past Alakazam, who was emitting black smoke, and came to Nancy, looking down at her with a pitiful look.
At the moment when Nancy was about to use her superpowers to attack him, Xiaozhi gave her a crisp slap on the cheek, followed by a clean knee strike to her abdomen.
Affected by the pain, Nazhi obviously came out of her rampage state, but her eyes became even more angry. This person actually dared to hit her!
Her father never hit her!
Xiaozhi used physical skills to lock up the angry Nancy, and at the same time, he stepped lightly on the ground and summoned Haunter and others hiding in his shadow.
“You guys, find a way to make her laugh for me.”
“Let me go, you bastard!” Nancy kept struggling. This super-powered queen would never forget the humiliation she suffered today.
“I just want to verify whether you are as heartless as the rumors say.” Xiaozhi said lightly, “Don’t laugh out loud, Miss Nancy.”
Haunter and the others performed in front of Nancy. Before they followed Satoshi, they often eased the sad atmosphere in the Pokémon Tower.
In other words, Haunter is very good at making humans laugh, even those with cold faces like Nancy are no exception.
Although she was clearly angry, Nancy couldn’t help but laugh out loud while watching Haunter and the others’ performance.
She tried desperately to stop laughing, but there was no intention of stopping. Nancy’s face turned slightly red because of such an embarrassing behavior, and it was obvious that she was angry.
“You’re no different from those ordinary people.” Xiaozhi let go of Nancy in boredom and watched her lying on the ground holding her stomach and laughing until she was gasping for breath.
Ignoring Nancy who was laughing, Xiaozhi walked over to Gengar and applied medicine to it. Pokémon were the first thing in his mind.
Just as Xiaozhi was applying medicine to Gengar’s wound, a voice suddenly came from behind him: “How dare you hit my daughter? I’m going to fight you!”
A middle-aged man in sportswear rushed over. He used his superpowers to pin Xiaozhi in place, and his fist was about to fall.
“Stop it!”
Nancy stood up slowly. She stared at Xiaozhi with resentment, and at the same time fixed her eyes on the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
“Nazhi! What are you doing?” The middle-aged uncle’s face was full of confusion, “This bastard hit you!”
“Before I hit your daughter, she tried to kill me.”
Xiaozhi replied coldly: “As a fellow user of special abilities, since you don’t know how to manage your temper, I suggest that this kind of person commit suicide.”
“you!”
“What do you mean?” Xiaozhi easily broke free from the restraints of his superpowers. “Your daughter has become what she is today, and you are also responsible for it.”
Users of special abilities generally do not regard ordinary people as their own kind. They are superior to humans in IQ and other aspects, and have no selfish desires. The more powerful the user of special abilities is, the more likely they are to have reproductive isolation from ordinary people.
In the eyes of this group of users with special abilities, humans without special abilities are nothing more than incompletely evolved apes, ugly and stupid.
Because of this, most users of special abilities will discipline their children well to prevent their children from being infected with the animal nature that exists in all things and wantonly harming other creatures living on this planet.
This middle-aged man not only failed to discipline Nazi, but also allowed her to do whatever she wanted based on her own preferences.
Since you don’t follow the rules of the game, Xiaozhi doesn’t mind overturning the table. At that time, no one can step down. It depends on who is thick-skinned and strong enough to have the last laugh.
Chapter 049 Fighting Dojo (Old Version)
Nancy’s father was so choked up by Xiaozhi that he was speechless. He also knew that he was indeed an unqualified father.
After all, not everyone has as much mental power as Nancy. It’s like a child with a pistol can easily kill an adult. Nancy’s mental power is as deep as the ocean. As a father, he is naturally cowardly.
Xiaozhi despises such people from the bottom of his heart.
You didn’t discipline your children when they were growing up, and then you popped up to cover for them when others were disciplining them for you. How come you get all the good things?
Nancy walked up to Xiaozhi and ignored her father. To her, that man was just a stranger with the same blood as her.
“Ms. Nazi, I’m sorry for offending you just now.”
Xiaozhi looked at Nancy, who had completely recovered from her rampage, and apologized sincerely, “I had no choice but to use that method to lock you up. If you think I’m overstepping my authority, you can always fight back.”
“I will, but not now.” Naz said calmly, “I lost the battle just now, this is an indisputable fact, but I wanted to harm you. Anyway, I am very sorry.”
Hearing this, Xiaozhi looked at Nancy in confusion. This woman’s words really surprised him.
The more powerful the psychic, the more arrogant they are. Xiaozhi has never heard of any psychic who would apologize to someone who slapped him.
Nancy took out a badge from her pocket and handed it over: “As agreed, this golden badge is yours.”
Xiaozhi took the badge handed over by Nancy, looked at it for a moment and put it into the badge box. Although a lot of things happened in the middle, the result was good as long as it was done.
“Then again, there are some things I don’t know yet.”
Nancy asked: “Challenger, tell me what your name is and what exactly is the power in you.”
“Didn’t I introduce myself?” Xiaozhi thought about it and realized that he really hadn’t introduced himself. “You can just call me Xiaozhi. As for my abilities, you can just use your imagination.”
Nazi snorted softly when she heard this. She had originally wanted to take the opportunity to get some information out of him, but she didn’t expect to be tricked in the opposite way. She felt a little unhappy.
“You said before that if I think you’re taking advantage of me when you lock me up, I can fight back, right?” Naz raised her hand slightly.
Xiaozhi took a half step back. Just when he was ready to accept the punishment, the superpower queen suddenly changed her mind and said, “I hate violence. If you can make me happy, I will spare you.”
“How about I give you the Haunters?”
Anyway, the condition these funny guys negotiated with Xiaozhi was to help them find a stage to perform pranks, and the Golden Gym could barely be considered a stage.
Wasn’t Nancy very amused just now? I think with the company of Haunter and the others, Nancy should be able to slowly become a normal person.
“That’s not enough.” Nancy shook her head. “I hope you can complete my commission and find me a potential psychic elf.”
Give it to you? Of course, good things should be kept for yourself.
Xiaozhi felt uncomfortable with the look in Nancy’s eyes. He said vaguely: “Ms. Nancy, I will contact you if I meet you again.”
After leaving the Golden Gym, Xiaozhi walked towards the Fighting Gym. He wanted to defeat Wude and obtain the Fighting attribute Pokémon.
His Riolu has a strong desire to fight, which even disrupts the training of other Pokémon in the team. He urgently needs Pokémon with the same attributes to alleviate the problem.
According to what Professor Oak told him, training with elves of the same attributes, in addition to being able to use up excess energy, will also improve strength much better than training alone.
Looking at the fighting dojo in front of him that had been downgraded to a second-tier gym, Xiaozhi pushed open the door and walked in slowly.
“Challenger?” Wu De broke away from his meditation posture and stood up.
“I’m Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. I heard that if you defeat the gym leader here, you can choose between a badge and a Pokémon, is that right?” Xiaozhi asked.
“That’s right.” Wu De nodded, “But now the rules have changed. As long as you can defeat me, you can get both the badge and the elf.”
“If I don’t want the badges here, can I take two Pokémon away?” Xiaozhi had done some research beforehand, and the Pokémon were chosen randomly. There were two types of Pokémon in the fighting dojo, namely the Kickbot and the Fast Punchbot.
“Although there has been no such precedent, it is not impossible.” Since the other party came for the elves with fighting attributes, Wu De did not mind relaxing the conditions.
“Master Wude, thank you for your understanding.” Xiaozhi clasped his fists and thanked him. “Then, what are the rules?”
“How about a 2V2 challenge?” Wu De walked to the gym owner’s position.
“That’s just what I want.” Xiaozhi threw out the Poké Ball. He sent out the Crabgrass that he captured at the Zhenghui Lighthouse. Ever since Stottle evolved into Blastoise, this guy has become anxious. He trains secretly every day behind Xiaozhi’s back and doesn’t know how to combine work and rest.
Wu De also threw out a Poké Ball, and the figure of Flying Legs Man appeared on the battlefield, and he kicked with a shadowless kick in a show of force.
“Is the first one to go up the court the flying leg man?”
Xiaozhi thought about the tactics that might be used next, and confidently commanded: “Crab, use Bubble Beam.”
“High-five surprise attack!” Wu De shouted.
The high-five surprise attack has a high priority. Before the giant crab could launch the bubble ray, it was hit by the flying leg man and a painful expression appeared on its face.
Xiaozhi didn’t show any worry on his face. It could be said that the current battle situation was still under his control.
“Big Claw Crab, clamp its legs.”
“Flying Legs Man, break free!”
When Wu De’s face was filled with anxiety, Xiao Zhi’s voice sounded like the arrival of the god of death: “Guillotines.”
Chapter 050 Selecting an Elf (Old Version)
The guillotine forceps is a one-hit kill move. As long as the opponent is not stronger than yourself, he can be killed instantly.
Flying Legs fell to the ground weakly, and Wu De took it back into the Poké Ball. He admitted that he had underestimated the young boy and did not expect Xiaozhi to be so cunning.
The giant crab waved its claws excitedly. This blitzkrieg made it feel very happy, and a sense of throbbing came over it in a trance.
Looking at the giant crab with white light all over its body, Xiaozhi smiled slightly. Having seen this kind of scene several times, he naturally knew that this was a sign of evolution.
As the white light gradually dissipated, the giant crab appeared in front of everyone.
Compared with the giant crab period, the red area of ​​the giant crab’s body covers a wider area, and its head is covered with bumps. The left claw has grown a lot, and many teeth have grown in its mouth.
“Master Wude, please send out the next Pokémon quickly.” Xiaozhi said.
After hearing Xiaozhi’s reminder, Wude finally recovered from his trance. The phenomenon of evolution is incredible no matter when it happens.
Wu De pretended to cough twice, and his expression returned to a stern state. He threw out the Poké Ball containing Quick Punch with force.
“Xiaozhi, you are indeed a great trainer, but I will not give up so easily!” Wu De shouted, “Fast Punch Lang, use Hell Thrust!”
Xiaozhi looked at the fast boxer who rushed over and was on guard. He knew that the head-crushing forceps move was useless. He said: “Giant Claw Crab, Bubble Beam.”
Water gushed out from the giant crab’s claws and shot all over Kuai Quanlang’s face. The foam that affected his vision stayed on his body.
“Mud Shooting.” Xiaozhi chose a dirty style of play. Without vision, no matter how strong you are, you are useless.
Although Wu De didn’t like this kind of behavior, it was also a tactic, and there was nothing despicable about it: “Listen to the sound and determine the location and use revenge!”
Quick Punch Man broke through the mud and came to the giant crab, and hit the giant crab with his fist with unparalleled power.
The move Retaliation can cause double damage to the opponent. Even a Pokémon with both offensive and defensive capabilities like the Crab will inevitably suffer heavy damage if hit by this move.
“Giant Crab, use Crab Hammer after Sword Dance.” After the Giant Crab stood firmly, Xiaozhi waved and shouted.
Looking at the giant crab dancing with swords, Wu De didn’t dare to be careless and let it continue to strengthen: “Quick Fist Lang, use the combination of Sonic Fist and Thunder Fist!”
Wude’s fast puncher is very talented, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to perform this combination of moves.
Looking at the fast-moving Fist, Xiaozhi asked the Giant Claw to step back half a step and shouted, “Continue to follow the original instructions after glaring.”
After being glared at by the giant crab, a blue aura of reduced ability flashed across Quick Fist Lang’s body, and he immediately stopped where he was, not daring to continue rushing forward.
After all, reality is not a game. Many of the tactics that are popular among gamers don’t work in the real world. Elves are living things, not codes.
It’s like in the game the elves can only master four skills, but the reality is that once you have learned them, you will never forget them in your life.
Even for ordinary people with super powers, there are definitely more than four skills that they can master and use.
Similarly, some moves in reality have additional effects that do not exist in the game, and some moves in the game have additional effects that do not exist in reality.
The strengthened giant crab swung its claws, and the larger claw on the left suddenly hit the fast fist boy, knocking him out of the field and embedding him in the wall.
Xiaozhi did not let the Crab take advantage of the victory, but chose to take it back: “Have a good rest, it’s your turn next, Riolu.”
A white light flashed, and the extremely belligerent Riolu appeared on the battlefield, staring cautiously at the fast boxer who was already at low health.
Xiaozhi didn’t let Riolu come on the field to finish off the enemy, although he had to use it to end the battle, it was mostly for increasing combat experience.
“Interesting. Do you want to fully train the Pokémon in your team?” Wu De guessed Xiaozhi’s idea. He protested, “Kai Quan Lang’s current physical strength is like a candle in the wind, but even so, it is definitely not something your Riolu can defeat. Xiaozhi, you made a bad move!”
“You can’t say for sure. If my observation is correct, your Fast Puncher will definitely lose if he is attacked now.” Xiaozhi suddenly shouted, “Riolu, use Vacuum Wave after self-motivation!”
“Fast Punch Lang, don’t let it succeed, try your best and throw your million-ton punch!” Wu De bet all his victory on Fast Punch Lang’s million-ton punch.
A vacuum wave was released from Riolu’s hand. Although Quick Punch tried to use his fist to break the powerful energy wave, his remaining strength made his consciousness gradually blurred.
After the vacuum wave attack ended, Kuai Quanlang staggered to the ground, his eyes were filled with mosquito coils, and he lost his ability to fight.
After Wu De put the Fistman back into the Poké Ball, he walked over to Xiao Zhi and held out his hand: “What a wonderful battle, Xiao Zhi, you can now go to the back of the gym and choose the Fistman and the Fistman that suits your taste.”
Xiaozhi also stretched out his hand. Wude was quite strong. If it weren’t for Nancy, he would be strong enough to be the leader of the First Army Gym.
After shaking hands, Wu De sent someone to take Xiao Zhi to the backyard of the fighting dojo.
Looking around, this place is full of flying kickers and fast punchers who are in training. The quality is indeed much better than those wild Pokémon outside.
Xiaozhi selected the two Pokémon with the best potential, Kickstarter and Punchstarter, and left the fighting arena. Unfortunately, the potential of these two Pokémon with good talents was only quasi-king level.
There is no way around it. Elves with the potential to be at the king level are extremely rare, and the quasi-king level is already the best here.
Although it did not meet expectations, Xiaozhi did not take it seriously. After all, the value of Pokémon is not only reflected in combat.
After all, most Pokémon don’t like fighting. Sprinter and Puncher, two Pokémon that make a living by fighting, will definitely be able to alleviate Riolu’s desire to fight, and become sparring partners for Ash’s subsequent Pokémon with fighting attributes.
Just as Xiaozhi stepped out of the fighting dojo and was about to replenish his supplies and leave the city, a young man in a suit suddenly stopped him.
“Excuse me, are you Mr. Yuan Zhi?”
Chapter 051 Silver’s Invitation (Old Version)
Looking at the young man in a suit who called out his full name, Xiaozhi looked at his appearance and confirmed that he didn’t have this person in his memory. Then he asked doubtfully: “Yes, I am Yuan Zhi. May I ask who you are?”
“Hello, Mr. Genji, my name is Fujiwara, and I work as the secretary of President Silver.”
The young man explained: “The president of our company wants to invite you to dinner with him. I hope you can go with me to meet the president. Of course, if you don’t want to come, that’s fine. However, for the sake of your future, I sincerely implore you to meet the president of our company.”
I didn’t expect that old man Silver would come to me so soon.
Xiaozhi had expected this day to come a long time ago, but he didn’t expect that this day would come much earlier than he expected. He thought Silver would wait until he became the champion of the tournament before finding him, but now it seems that the old man can’t wait any longer.
A man of honor is grateful for what he has received. Xiaozhi has received a lot of care from Silver along the way.
After he foiled Team Rocket’s conspiracy in Vermilion City last time, Silver rewarded him with an elf riding device and a luxury yacht.
The price of the elf riding device on the market is several million. It uses the most advanced space transmission technology of the time and can summon the elves registered on it anytime and anywhere.
Not to mention the luxury yacht whose price he couldn’t even imagine.
Ever since Xiaozhi was bored last time and looked up the price of this large yacht, he didn’t close his eyes in bed that night and was in an excited state all night.
Following Fujiwara to Silver Company, Xiaozhi took the elevator to the top floor of the company building.
In this small room, Silver sat on a chair and looked at Xiaozhi with a smile. Next to him sat two girls who looked very similar. I guess they should be Silver’s daughters.
“Haha, you’re old and your eyesight is blurry. When you saw Xiaozhi, you thought it was the champion of Kanto standing in front of me.”
Silver said with a smile, “Xiaozhi, please sit down. The food will be served soon.” He looked at his two daughters sitting beside him, and his expression was like a Peking Opera face-changing. “Ye Zi and Bi Lan, don’t just stand there like idiots. Hurry up and say thank you to your benefactor’s children.”
Xiaozhi looked at the girls who stood up and felt that there was something wrong with the way they looked at him, but he couldn’t tell why.
After a brief exchange of ideas, Xiaozhi had a rough idea of ​​their personalities.
To put it simply, the girl with long straight gray-brown hair named Ye Zi has a serious personality, and the girl with long straight brown hair named Bi Lan has a cunning personality.
It is really unbelievable that these two sisters grew up in the same educational environment but have such different personalities.
It’s not like Silver treats his daughters differently.
Soon, all kinds of exquisite dishes were served on the table. As the host, Silver apologized and said, “I discovered that you, Xiaozhi, came to Golden City by accident, so I didn’t have time to ask the chef to prepare. What we served is just a working meal. Please don’t be offended.”
The gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between people and dogs. Xiaozhi has known this for a long time.
But after Xiaozhi personally experienced these two completely different lives, he had never realized as clearly as he did today how vast the world of the rich is.
He started losing from the start.
This gap cannot be changed through simple efforts.
Even if he became the champion of the alliance headquarters in the future, it would be impossible for him and the elves to achieve such a life.
A feeling of powerlessness surged into Xiaozhi’s heart for the first time.
Xiaozhi cheered himself up and forced himself to eat the meal. During the meal, Silver talked to him about many things, but they were all insignificant trivial matters.
Silver didn’t get to the point until the end of the meal, or rather, Silver had no other purpose in inviting him here.
Looking back, Xiaozhi realized that Silver had already discussed business with him during the dinner, asking him whether he needed investment from Silver’s company.
In other words, Silver Company will provide a lot of resources for his journey, and in return he must serve it.
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi felt a little headache. It can only be said that being out of shape is indeed a fatal thing.
After watching Xiaozhi completely leave the company, President Silver immediately lost his kind expression, and his cunning nature as a businessman was fully revealed at this moment.
“What do you two sisters think about this Yuanzhi?” Silver said with his hands behind his back without turning his head.
“He is much more mature than me in dealing with people.” Ye Zi frowned and said, “Rather than being a child, he is more like an adult in a teenager’s skin. This is the first time I have seen someone like him.”
When Bilan noticed her father’s gaze, she lowered her head and said, “My opinion is exactly the opposite of my sister’s. Although his behavior…”
“Okay, you don’t need to continue.”
Silver knew that Ye Zi had finished what she wanted to say, and Bi Lan had come up with a half-baked answer on the spot.
His little daughter is good in every way except that she is timid and doesn’t dare to look her old father and her sister in the eye. She looks a little scared.
It’s no wonder, I used to compare her with Ye Zi.
Under the influence of her sister’s excessive excellence, Bilan developed an inferiority complex. When Silver realized that he wanted to correct it, it was too late.
“Father, I don’t understand why you are so nice to that kid.”
Ye Zi said puzzledly, “It’s true that his father saved us sisters back then, but you don’t have to arrange a marriage for us sisters and make him the heir to the company you have worked so hard to build for so many years.”
“His father once awakened the power of waveguide that could detect and ‘interfere’ with the thoughts of living beings. Do you know what this means?”
Silver said, “As that man’s child, he should have inherited this legendary power. If our family can obtain this power, it will surely make Silver Company go further and more prosperous.”
“Although Xiaozhi doesn’t know about this matter yet, betrothing you two sisters to him can be considered as an indirect way of repaying his kindness.”
He walked out of the room. “I’m afraid Sakaki has the same idea as me. In addition to having a son, he also has a daughter who inherited the power of the Evergreens. But I will not let Team Rocket succeed in their plan.”
Chapter 052 Zaun Ibrahimovic (Old Version)
Yuhong City is a city located to the west of Jinhuang City. It is also the largest city in the Kanto region. Its prosperity is lower than that of Jinhuang City. It has the largest department store in the entire Kanto region, which sells the most complete range of goods.
Moreover, this place is known as the capital of perfume, a place where perfume is produced in abundance. Yuhong Gym is also one of the producers of perfume and is a very famous gym in the world.
There is also a university here, Yuhong University. Professor Oak once taught at this university. Even the Yuhong Gym Leader, Rika, now visits the university from time to time to give instructions.
Xiaozhi had no intention of hanging around here. Even if he did, he would have to wait until he won the gym challenge and completed his tasks beforehand before he could have fun.
Arriving at the Jade Rainbow Gym, which looked very similar to the Skank, Xiaozhi pushed open the tightly closed door and walked in. He found that the gym owner, Lika, was in the gym at the time, cultivating relationships with the Pokémon she had captured not long ago.
“Eevee, don’t move. Let me comb your hair.” Lijia said softly, holding a brush and approaching the Eevee who was held by the apprentice.
“Buyi Buyi! (Fuck! You bunch of idiots, get out of here!)” Ibrahimovic kept chattering, “Buyi? Buyi Buyi! (Is it true that you stupid humans can’t talk properly without touching me for a day? If that’s the case, I suggest you find a shady place by the road and lie down! Wait for the mud truck justice to come and send you all to heaven to see God!)”
When Xiaozhi was about to propose a gym challenge, he was stunned by the talkative Eevee. The expression on his face was full of disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe that such elegant and easy-going words would come out of the mouth of an Eevee.
If he knew that in a parallel world there was a man named Ino Chi who had a thief who could curse and had a mean fairy elf under his command, perhaps the expression on Xiaozhi’s face would not be as stunned and shocked as it is now.
Name: Ibrahimovic
Features: Danger Prediction
Information: Born in the suburbs of Yuhong City, he was captured by Team Rocket not long ago, but later managed to escape with his own wisdom. He is extremely talented and has championship-level potential.
“Buyi! (You handsome guy over there, please save me!)” Eevee saw Xiaozhi as if it saw a savior. It struggled to break free from the apprentice’s embrace and came to Xiaozhi’s side, “Buyi Buyi! (You handsome guy, please take me away from here! I still have to go save my silly sister who was captured by the bad guys!)”
“Eevee, why are you running around again?” Lijia picked up the Eevee who was holding onto Xiaozhi’s trouser legs, “Are you the challenger? I’m so sorry, I was so engrossed in playing with Eevee that I didn’t notice you.”
“Buyi Buyi! (That very yellow and violent electric mouse! Hurry up and tell your master what I am talking about!)” Ibrahimovic struggled desperately.
“That’s fine, but this Eevee is really unique.” Xiaozhi waved his hand and introduced himself at the same time: “I’m Xiaozhi from Pallet Town, and I hope to have a gym challenge with you, Ms. Lijia.”
“I accept your challenge. The number of Pokémon you can use is limited to three. Eeyore!” Lika suddenly screamed. It turned out that Eevee had bitten her arm.
Upon seeing this, the apprentices of the gym quickly took out bandages and bandaged the wound of Lijia who was covering her arm, frantically fiddling with the work for most of the day.
Satoshi held down Eevee, who tried to escape in the chaos, and decided to ask Rika for the right to keep this Eevee.
“Lady Lika, I’ve already told you that this Eevee has a bad personality, but you still insisted on raising it.” The apprentice looked at the grinning Eevee with disgust. It seemed that the apprentice had been dissatisfied with Eevee for a long time.
“(I will take you to save your sister. Now you’d better behave yourself. Do you understand?)” Xiaozhi used the waveguide to transmit the information.
Eevee raised its head and looked at Xiaozhi in a daze. It seemed that it did not expect that humans could understand what it said. After a fierce mental struggle, Eevee finally compromised.
It said: “Buyi Buyi Buyi. (You are a jerk, don’t lie to me. If you can really help me rescue my sister, I will recognize you as my boss.)”
“(Remember to be friendly with me later, otherwise I won’t be able to take you away.)” Xiaozhi disconnected the wave link and suggested to Lijia: “Ms. Lijia, can I take this Eevee away after this challenge? This kid seems to like me very much, please!”
Lijia looked at Eevee who was rubbing Xiaozhi’s cheek intimately with a complicated expression. It was like you had been dating your girlfriend for a few years but couldn’t win her heart, and then a high-end talent named Nigo came and tricked her into bed in less than half a day.
This is more than just heartbreaking, it’s simply murderous!
“If you can defeat me, Xiaozhi, then this Eevee will be given to you.” Lijia patted her cheek and entered the battle state and said, “Without further delay, let’s start the challenge. This one will be the first to appear!”
Looking at the vine monster that appeared on the battlefield, Xiaozhi planned to use a fire-attribute Pokémon to deal with it: “Charmeleon, this game is up to you.”
“Another trainer who wants to defeat me by relying on attribute opposition.” Lijia shook her head, “Vine Monster, powerful whip!”
After receiving the trainer’s order, the Vine Monster stretched out its thick vine whip and lashed towards Charmeleon.
“That’s where you made a mistake.” Xiaozhi commanded indifferently, “Charmeleon, grab the vine whip of the vine monster and use the jet of fire.”
Looking at the whip coming towards him, the Fire Dinosaur slightly changed its pace and easily dodged it, then took the opportunity to grab the whip that was closer to him.
The vine monster panicked when it saw this. It kept swinging its vine whip at the fire dinosaur, but to no avail.
Grass-attribute moves have little effect on Charmeleon. Plus, Ash has invested so many resources in Charmeleon that its strength is no longer what it used to be.
The fire dinosaur had accumulated fire energy in its mouth, and it sprayed it out without any hesitation, with raging flames carrying a murderous aura.
Hit by the scorching flame, the vine monster lost its ability to fight on the spot.
Chapter 053: Fire Dinosaur Advancement (Old Version)
“Buyi. (You’re quite an awesome guy.)” Eevee praised with a grin when he saw the Vine Monster being killed instantly by Charmeleon.
“Pikachu, can you please stop using those vulgar words?” Pikachu couldn’t help but accuse him, “Pika, Pika, Pika.” Xiaozhi is concentrating on commanding now. If he loses this challenge because of you, you will never be able to leave this gym in your life.
“Buyi. (Sorry, this is just my personality. I hope you don’t mind if it’s immoral.)” Ibrahimovic said confidently, “Buyi?! (But by the way, Xiaopi, why did our boss leave you out? I’m very curious about this!)”
Ignoring the conversation between Pikachu and Eevee, Ash considered whether to let Charmeleon take down the gym.
Lijia is a gym leader after all, and there are so many apprentices watching around. I always feel that it seems a bit inappropriate to just push forward. How about giving her some face?
This idea was quickly rejected by Xiaozhi. What Charmeleon lacked now was experience, which needed to be accumulated through battles.
“Come back, vine monster, thank you for your hard work.”
Lijia took back the vine monster, threw out the second Poké Ball and said, “Xiaozhi, let me see how you can defeat it.”
The one that appeared on the battlefield was a stupid-looking Smurf. Its strength was indeed much stronger than the vine monster just now, but it was still not enough for the powerful Charmeleon.
Xiaozhi was waiting for his opponent’s attack. He still didn’t plan to attack first in this round. The Gym Challenge was a good place to practice his ability to counter the opponent’s moves.
“Koudaihana, use the Leaf Blade!” Lika gave the order.
Hearing the command from its trainer, Skullflower began to spin rapidly on the spot, with countless sharp leaves floating around it.
As the pocket flower gently waved its leaf-like arms, those leaves immediately attacked the Fire Dinosaur like a rain of pear blossoms, making it feel unstoppable.
Xiaozhi didn’t even bother to raise his eyelids. He ordered: “Charmeleon, spray flames.”
“Zhadong!”
The fire dinosaur opened its mouth wide and spewed out red flames, burning the flying leaves into ashes.
However, this is not the end yet. The hot leaves that were burned to ashes by the flames kept falling from the sky, as if the Burning Legion had descended upon the world and unleashed a violent rain of fire.
Koudaihua had never seen such a scene before. He immediately became like an ant on hot pan, so anxious that he didn’t know where to escape.
“Calm down, Koudaihua!” Lijia said anxiously.
Xiaozhi didn’t mind kicking the man when he was down, so he immediately shouted, “Charmeleon, dragon claw attack.”
The Charmeleon rushed over in the rain of fire, and the dragon energy condensed on its arms into sharp claws that were as real as real ones. It raised the green energy dragon claws high and swung it down at Kou Daikata’s body.
An Elf that was not known for its defensive abilities was hit by the dragon claw that could even split rocks. Its eyes immediately lit up and it lost its ability to fight.
“Kamezakura has lost his ability to fight! Charmeleon has won again!” the referee announced, waving the flag.
“Buyibuyi! (Great! If things keep going like this, I’ll be able to escape from that Muren Blade!)”
Ibrahimovic happily did a backflip and said, “Buyi! (You better keep up the good work, I’ve put all my wealth on you!)”
Looking at Eevee cheering for Satoshi, Rika felt a little sad for some reason.
Thinking back to when I first met this Eevee, it was covered in wounds. I took good care of it for such a long time, but in the end, I still couldn’t win its true heart.
This can only be blamed on the fact that the two do not speak the same language. Ibrahimovic was indeed very grateful to Lika from the beginning, but he also has a sister in Team Rocket, and he doesn’t know when he will be taken away for experiments by the researchers in Team Rocket.
If you think about these troubles every day, you will get sick even if you are not sick. The reason why Ibrahimovic has a bad temper is because of these things. Thinking too much will lead to confusion.
“Xiaozhi, I admit that you are quite strong.” Lijia retracted her mouth, “But my love for grass-type Pokémon far exceeds your strength.”
“Next, Skank, it’s up to you!” She threw the last Poké Ball.
As Lika’s trump card, Vileplume’s strength is naturally incomparable to the first two Pokémon. The quasi-king-level strength on the system panel just proves this point.
Xiaozhi kept Charmeleon away from the position of Vileplume, but this does not mean that Charmeleon, a mid-level quasi-king, cannot beat Vileplume.
But the stinking smell was really choking.
“Quick battle, quick decision, continuous jet of flames.” If you want to defeat an opponent who is stronger than you, you must make good use of the law of attribute restraint.
Brilliant flames spurted out from the mouth of the Fire Dinosaur, as if a fire dragon wanted to devour its prey. Wherever it passed, it was like a barren land with no grass growing.
The Vileflower dodged in panic. Although it possessed the strength of a quasi-king, it was still afraid of the high temperature of the flame.
Lijia quickly shouted, “Stinky Flower, use the defense quickly.”
Are you trying to engage in a war of attrition with me?
Xiaozhi has always been very patient and can handle all kinds of battle situations.
The Charmeleon becomes more and more powerful as the fight goes on. It can be said that being the active attacker always has the advantage.
Because the attacking side is attacking with all their strength, there will be many flaws on both sides, and the defending side will be exhausted and have no time to attack the opponent’s two sides, so in the long run the defending side will eventually retreat.
This is what is meant by, if the attacker defends without defending, the defender will lose if he defends for too long.
Under the continuous attacks, the Fire Dinosaur became more and more excited, and a dazzling white light appeared on its body. This was a sign of evolution!
There wasn’t much surprise on Xiaozhi’s face. In his opinion, the evolution of Charmeleon was a matter of course.
The white light dissipated, and the Charizard suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It flapped the wings behind it constantly, and the fire-breathing dragon was completely transformed into a fire dragon from this moment on.
“Evolved? But we won’t give up just like that.” Lijia shouted, “Stinky Flower, petal dance!”
Petals surround the stinky flower, as if dancing for the birth of Charizard.
In response to this, Xiaozhi only had a brief answer.
“Flash Charge.”
Chapter 054 Rainbow Badge (Old Version)
“Xiaozhi, I have to admit that you are really strong.” Lijia took out a colorful badge, “As proof of your victory over me, I give you this rainbow badge. I look forward to your performance in the league in the future.”
“No, I just had the advantage in attributes, so I won by chance.” Xiaozhi took the rainbow badge and put it into the badge box.
Seeing that Xiaozhi and Lijia had been chatting for a long time and had not yet gotten to the point, Eevee, who was fighting with Pikachu on the side, suddenly became anxious. Could this idiot have forgotten the agreement he had just made with it?
If I think about it carefully, he seems to be able to understand what the elf says. Could it be that after seeing how crazy and foul-mouthed I am, he suddenly changed his mind?
As soon as he thought of this, Ibrahimovic came up with a remedy in his little head.
“Buyi Buyi! (Damn it, ah no! Boss, please take me away from here quickly!)” Ibrahimovic lay on the ground with his belly exposed, “Buyi! (Mu Ren, I mean Miss, please talk to our boss about business quickly, I beg you!)”
“Xiaozhi, Eevee really likes you.” Lika picked up the Eevee with its belly exposed. This time it was very well-behaved and didn’t struggle at all.
“This is also the first time I’ve seen a Pokémon so close to me. Maybe my meeting with it is destined.” Xiaozhi stroked Eevee’s belly. He did have this feeling somehow.
Even though it kept calling him a cocky guy, Xiaozhi didn’t feel unhappy at all. Instead, he felt that this was a plus for it.
This is just like the Pikachu with an uncle-like voice in Detective Pikachu, the so-called contrast cuteness is also like this.
“Well, I’ll leave Eevee in your care from now on.” Rika took out the Poké Ball, gently touched it on Eevee’s head, put it back into the Poké Ball, and handed it solemnly to Satoshi.
“Don’t worry, I will take good care of it.” After taking the Poké Ball handed over by Lijia, Xiaozhi nodded cautiously.
After leaving the Jade Rainbow Gym, Xiaozhi released the Eevee in the Poké Ball. He had a lot of things he wanted to ask this Eevee.
For example, what kind of elf is the sister it is talking about, is she the same species as it, and are the group of bad guys it is talking about Team Rocket.
Through a long period of communication, Xiaozhi preliminarily confirmed the details of what happened.
About half a month ago, when Eevee and its sister were looking for food outside, Team Rocket took a group of drugged Pokémon and hunted a large number of strong Pokémon in the suburbs of Yuhong City. The purpose was to obtain experimental subjects for the potion.
At that time, Eevee was captured by Team Rocket. When the transport vehicle was sending them to the experimental site, its sister persuaded the Pokémon trapped in the cages to break through the cages, but they did not escape immediately. Instead, they let their children go first.
Although Ibrahimovic wanted to stay and help his companions who were left behind, he was forcibly taken away by those who were evacuating, but was intercepted by Team Rocket again on the way.
Ibrahimovic didn’t want his sister’s efforts to go to waste, so he used his unique wisdom that he was born with to command his innocent companions to break through the interception.
In this battle, Eevee suffered serious injuries. It had only taken a few steps to escape from Team Rocket’s experimental site when it fainted on the ground due to excessive blood loss. Then Rika happened to pass by and found the bruised Eevee, so she took it back to the gym for treatment.
“Buyibuyibuyi. (This is what happened. Boss, if you think it’s too dangerous, we won’t force you to sneak into the Rocket Team’s base.)”
Eevee rubbed Xiaozhi with the fur on its neck and said with relief: “Booey. (But when I want to save my sister, you can’t stop me by force.)”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Xiaozhi reached out and tapped Eevee’s head gently. “You are my Pokémon. As your master, I will naturally help you rescue your sister, even if it costs me my life.”
“Buyi. (Really, boss, what are you talking about? You made me cry.)” Eevee licked Xiaozhi’s cheek.
“Pikapi? (That being said, Xiaozhi, how are you going to rescue Eevee’s sister?)” Pikachu crossed his arms and said, “Pikachu. (This time it’s not like the Pokemon Tower, the enemy’s base is here.)”
“So, it can come in handy at this time.” Xiaozhi took out a Poké Ball, which was the Ditto given to him by Old Man Fuji.
The value of the elves is not only reflected in combat. Ditto can be used as a simulated human skin mask, Super Strength can be used for forced demolition, Magnemite can invade electronic locks, and elves with psychic attributes can be used to pry open the mouths of spies.
After putting Ditto on his face, Xiaozhi turned it into an ordinary face, the type that would not be remembered by others.
“Ibrahimovic, lead the way.”
There is also a set of Team Rocket uniforms in Xiaozhi’s waist bag, which was stripped from the Team Rocket group in the Pokemon Tower. He didn’t expect that it would come in handy today.
Although Eevee was to lead the way, Xiaozhi did not let it walk on the ground. Instead, he let it stay on his shoulder to show the way.
Following the location indicated by Eevee, Xiaozhi finally arrived at the base of Team Rocket. It was disguised as a game city, or it could be said that it was originally a game city, but the owner of the city had some connection with Team Rocket.
In any case, these have nothing to do with Xiaozhi. All he needs to do is search and turn on the switch of the underground base.
The Yuhong Game City is very large, and the description of vast land and sparse population is most appropriate. There are only a handful of people in each area, and it seems that business is not good.
The feedback from the waveguide pulse released by Xiaozhi told him that the area in front with the no-entry sign was connected to the underground passage, and there might be a switch there to open the underground passage.
With this thought in mind, Xiaozhi confirmed that there was no one around and crossed the cordon to this area.
There didn’t seem to be anything strange here. Xiaozhi came to this conclusion after observing the surrounding environment, but a poster caught his attention.
Xiaozhi walked forward and looked at the new poster, and sure enough, he found a clue.
He lifted up the poster and a red button was hidden underneath.
Xiaozhi didn’t think much about it and pressed the button directly. Then, a passage leading to the lower level opened on the floor.
Chapter 055 Bribery (Old Version)
Xiaozhi put on the Rocket Team uniform as he walked down. He was not very clear about the situation below. The only thing he could confirm was that this was the Rocket Team’s base, and it was the base where those researchers produced banned drugs.
To be honest, Xiaozhi was not very confident about the success rate of this infiltration plan.
After all, this action was something he suddenly came up with on the spur of the moment. It would be outrageous if it could succeed. The Rockets are not fools.
However, even if he was caught and killed by Team Rocket, there would be nothing that could be done.
Xiaozhi is a heartless person and is not afraid of sacrifice. If the Pokémon are taken for experiments, they will live and die together. No one should blame anyone on the road to the underworld.
After I die, I won’t care about the flood.
Xiaozhi took out the Elf Gear from his pocket. He set a two-hour countdown on it. As long as the specified time is reached, it will automatically call the police station. Even if the plan fails this time, he can still expose this place.
Because he was wearing the Team Rocket uniform, Xiaozhi walked freely in the empty passage and had not met any other Team Rockets so far.
He looked up and saw surveillance cameras installed on the ceiling. He thought that this base seemed to have lax defenses, but your every move was controlled by others.
Xiaozhi walked into the interior and saw a large number of Team Rocket members walking around busily, transporting some confidential information on carts.
“The guy who just came in!” The senior staff who managed this place pointed at Xiaozhi and shouted, “Yes, I’m talking about you, come here quickly!”
It turned out to be flawless. I hope the speech I prepared in advance can pass the test smoothly.
Now that he was stopped by Team Rocket, Xiaozhi could only hope that he had not been exposed and that it was not the time to start a fight yet.
“Captain, what’s the matter with me?!” Xiaozhi walked up to the member of Team Rocket and bowed heavily.
Fortunately, when Ditto changes into someone else’s appearance, he can change his voice to a certain extent, otherwise Xiaozhi would be troubled by his boyish voice.
“Nothing, I just think you look unfamiliar.” He stared at Xiaozhi for a long time and asked in confusion: “Which team did you come from?”
“Reporting to the captain, I am from the team that Lord Lance sent to Lavender Town last time!” Xiaozhi reported without any worries. Sometimes dead people are more useful than living people.
Team Rocket asked again: “But I remember that Lord Lance’s team should have been captured by the Alliance. What’s going on?”
“Captain, can I not speak about this issue?” Xiaozhi said with an embarrassed look.
“Stop talking nonsense and report to me truthfully!”
The Rocket patted Xiaozhi’s shoulder vigorously, his face full of disappointment: “As a man, how can you be so shy? No matter how difficult it is to say the reason, you have to say it out loud!”
“Captain, on the day we went to Lavender Town, I was assigned by Lord Lance to stand guard outside the Elf Tower because I was afraid of ghosts. That night, I happened to see the Alliance coming, but because I was timid, I abandoned the team and ran away without even shouting.” Xiaozhi, who is a drama queen, hugged the Rocket’s thigh and started crying: “I am guilty! I deserve to die!”
“Alright, alright, stop crying. You’re going to make my uniform wet!” The Rocket pushed Xiaozhi away with disdain. “Who in our Rocket team hasn’t been a deserter?” He called the Rocket soldiers in the distance over. “Follow this guy later and let him assign you a task.”
Xiaozhi followed behind this soldier of Team Rocket. Until now he still felt a little unreal. He had prepared himself for a fight, but he didn’t expect that he could get away with it by relying on the half-baked answers he came up with in his head. It seemed that Team Rocket’s alert was not as serious as he thought.
Xiaozhi tapped his head lightly. Thinking too much would only cause unnecessary trouble. Since he had successfully sneaked into the base, he might as well think about how to find the cell where the Pokémon were imprisoned.
“Senior, have you thought of what task to assign to me?” Xiaozhi hugged the Rocket Team soldier familiarly, and at the same time took out a valuable Alliance Coin from his pocket and put it in his hand.
After confirming that there were no surveillance cameras around, the Rockets soldier took the ticket from Xiaozhi and said, “Not yet, what kind of job are you going to find?”
“To be honest, I don’t want to do any work. There’s no such thing as slacking off at work.”
Xiaozhi took out another bill from his pocket and said, “But speaking of which, I heard that the position of guarding those experimental elves is pretty good, and there is almost nothing to do. Brother, can you put me there?”
“Watch over those experimental elves?” The Rocket Team soldier who took the Alliance Coin immediately said with caution, “I’m afraid your intention to go there is not so pure.”
It seems that not all members of Team Rocket are idiots.
“Brother, let me tell you this.” Xiaozhi lied calmly, “I joined Team Rocket purely to find back the Pokémon that was stolen from my sister. That was the last tribute that our late grandfather left to us.” He took out a bill with a much higher face value than the previous one, “Brother, please be kind!”
“You joined Team Rocket to retrieve your sister’s stolen Pokémon. I didn’t expect you to have such a story behind you.” The soldier shed tears emotionally. “Don’t worry, I will help you, but I can’t accept the money.”
Having said that, he still put the money in his pocket: “Come with me, I will take you to where the elves are imprisoned now.”
Is that it?
Xiaozhi felt that things were not that simple. He did not completely trust this emotional soldier of Team Rocket. He was not sure if he would sell him out once they got there.
It’s not that Xiaozhi is suspicious by nature, but there is something wrong with the wave transmitted from the other party.
Waveguide can reflect the goodness or badness of a person, as well as the truth or falsehood in his or her words to a certain extent, and is a fairly accurate detector.
Although it was true that the other party wanted to take him to the room where the elves were imprisoned, the waves on his body exuded malicious intent and followed him like a shadow.
Xiaozhi was wary of this.
Xiaozhi secretly contacted Gengar who was hiding in his shadow. Whenever the other party tried to hurt him, Gengar would immediately use mental power to freeze him.
Chapter 056 Gambler’s Psychology (Old Version)
Xiaozhi followed this soldier of Team Rocket for a long time. He had no idea who designed this base and how he could have built such a complex and yet directional facility underground.
Suddenly, something seemed to happen not far away, and a chirping and slightly sad sound echoed throughout the building.
Hearing the sounds coming from the front, Xiaozhi realized that he was almost at the place where the Pokémon were imprisoned, and his breathing involuntarily became heavy.
After turning the corner, the Rocket Team soldiers stopped in front of the dilapidated iron gate, and the sad voice could be heard more clearly.
“Boy, this is where the elves are imprisoned. Go in quickly and see if you can see the elf you mentioned. I’ll keep watch for you outside,” he said.
Xiaozhi released the waveguide for sensing and found that there was no ambush inside. Could it be that there was a problem with the waveguide?
Although he had many doubts in his heart, he still said: “Thank you, senior. If I find that elf, I will reward you handsomely one day.”
When I pushed open the door, the first thing that came into my nose was the strong smell of blood, as well as the strange smell of rain on animals, or the feeling of dampness.
Xiaozhi walked into the room cautiously. He looked around at the Pokémon in the cages. At this moment, they could only be described as barely surviving.
Xiaozhi ignored this and continued searching for his target.
However, when he finished his rounds here, even turning around a few more times to avoid being careless, he still did not find the target location.
Could it be that there is more than one room where the elves are placed?
Xiaozhi comforted himself in this way.
To be honest, he didn’t think that Eevee’s sister was still alive. After all, so much time had passed, and that batch of Pokémon had probably been consumed by the researchers long ago.
“Hey. (I didn’t expect a kid like you would go along with that group of evil people.)” the electric beast in the cage said half-dead.
“Don’t compare me to Team Rocket. I sneaked in to look for someone.”
Xiaozhi lowered his voice and asked, “You have been here for so long, have you ever seen a female Eevee? The one who led your rebellion half a month ago.”
“Hey, why should I answer your question?” Electabuzz closed his eyes, “Hey, you can’t save me.”
This electric beast obviously knows this, so things will be easy.
“In other words, as long as you can see hope of survival, you will answer my questions, right?” Xiaozhi took the lead in opening the conversation.
Electabuzz ignored him, but the other Pokémon in the cage opened their eyes one after another and looked at Xiaozhi intently. They wanted to survive.
“Before I sneaked into this base, I had already called the police. They are the symbol of justice for the human community. I believe they will come to rescue you in no time.”
After these words were spoken, most of the elves sighed.
They did not believe Xiaozhi and thought that this person was just saying this to deceive them in order to obtain useful information.
“Believe it or not.”
After Xiaozhi said this, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Electabuzz, who had his eyes closed, finally spoke.
It said: “Hey. (That little girl was taken away for experimentation. She is one of the few elves who has survived until now, but she can only survive this long.)”
What Electabuzz meant was that Eevee’s sister was in poor health and would probably not survive the experiment.
Xiaozhi hurriedly walked out of the cell, letting the Rocket Team soldiers who were watching at the door lead the way. He was in a hurry and could not delay for a moment.
This Rocket Team soldier brought Xiaozhi to the laboratory and offset the researchers’ doubts by saying that it was his original Pokémon and that it was a mistake.
“You mean the female Eevee?” The person in charge said, stroking his chin. “That creature was dying, so I asked the cleaner to throw it to the garbage disposal station. It’s not too late to rescue it if we run over now.”
He shook his head and walked back to the lab table to continue his experiment: “Young people nowadays are really unreliable. They can even make mistakes with their own initial elves.”
After leaving the laboratory, the Rocket Team soldiers took Xiaozhi to the garbage disposal station in the base, where the smell of burning corpses filled the air.
Xiaozhi directly turned on the waveguide to maximum power and searched the garbage disposal station for anything similar to Eevee.
If he’s alive, I want to see him in person. If he’s dead, I want to see his body.
As the saying goes, God helps those who work hard. Xiaozhi found what he was looking for on the conveyor belt leading to the incinerator.
But then a problem arose. There was no button to stop the conveyor belt, and due to the height of the building, Charizard could not fly over to save people.
“This damn gambler’s mentality, I can only rush.” ​​After releasing Bulbasaur and using the vine whip to tie himself up, Xiaozhi jumped onto the conveyor belt leading to the incinerator without hesitation under the shocked gazes of Team Rocket’s soldiers.
Luckily for Ash, who works out regularly, he easily made it past the garbage obstacle on the conveyor belt and ran towards Eevee, who was already very close to the incinerator.
However, the closer he got to the incinerator, the more terrifying the heat became. Pokémons are physically stronger than humans, so Eevee didn’t have any injuries on his body, but Ash felt as if he was about to melt.
To this end, Xiaozhi covered his body with a layer of energy film.
“Shit!” Before he could run a few more steps forward, Xiaozhi almost fell when he got close to Eevee. It turned out that Bulbasaur’s vine whip was not long enough.
Bulbasaur, how can you not be tall enough at the critical moment!
Xiaozhi secretly complained in his heart, untied the whip on his body, and continued to run forward.
Finally, when Eevee was less than 5 meters away from the incinerator, Xiaozhi successfully picked it up and ran back.
“You kid really are not afraid of death.” The Rocket Team soldier stared at Xiaozhi who was running back against the conveyor belt, put his hands in his pockets and shook his head.
Xiaozhi leaned against the wall and gasped for breath. He didn’t have the energy to deal with this small soldier from Team Rocket.
Ibrahimovic’s injuries are very serious and cannot be cured by ordinary medicine.
He unzipped his waist bag, as if looking for something.
It was a piece of high-quality Thunder Stone, which was given to Xiaozhi by Miss Joy from Vermilion City after she asked Xiaozhi to teach Ma Zhishi a lesson. Unexpectedly, it would come in handy today.
He gently touched the Thunder Stone on Eevee. Evolution can restore a lot of physical strength. This is the law of this planet.
If possible, Xiaozhi hopes that Eevee can decide the direction of evolution by itself, but this is the only thing he can do now.
Chapter 057 Who is the real cross-dressing master (old version)
When the Thunder Stone touched Eevee, the pure electrical energy turned into flowing light particles and merged into its body, flashing the light of evolution like the warm sun.
With the accelerated metabolism brought about by evolution, or the increased speed of cell division, the injuries of Ibrahimovic, who was covered in bruises, gradually eased.
The light faded, and Raiju suddenly appeared in front of Xiaozhi. Compared with the Eevee period when its life was hanging by a thread, its neck and body were covered with white and yellow spikes, which pierced people like lightning and were as sharp as lightning rods.
It is sleeping peacefully and there is no sign of waking up yet, but it is no longer in danger.
Name: Thunder Elf
Gender: Female
Features: Power storage
Strength: Primary level of quasi-king
Information: Born in the suburbs of Yuhong City, he was captured by Team Rocket not long ago. Due to the unspeakable experiments he underwent, his personality has become quite neurotic. He has high talent and potential at the king level.
“That’s great, you little brat wearing a human skin mask.”
The Rocket soldier came to Xiaozhi with a smile, his smile seemed a little cold: “You finally found Eevee, now you should say it’s Raikkonen.”
“Did you see through it?”
Xiaozhi gently placed the Raijin on the ground and tore off the Ditto whose face was burned: “I am still very grateful to you for leading me to this child. Why can’t you just pretend you didn’t see it?”
“Although I have more empathy than the other four generals, I am still a complete bad guy.” After he finished speaking, he also tore off the human skin mask on his face. This person was Lambda, the disguise master of Team Rocket.
“Boy, I’ll give you a chance.” Lambda said, “Since you have good talent, I will let you go as long as you join Team Rocket.”
“Not long ago, a blue-haired man said the same thing to me.”
“Guess what happened to him in the end?” Xiaozhi stared at Lambda with eyes as indifferent as a demon, “I rejected him without hesitation and killed him.”
“What did you say? Did you kill that bastard Lance?” Lambda looked at Xiaozhi in disbelief. “I was wondering where Lance was if he wasn’t in prison. I didn’t expect that he would be killed by a brat like you. You really brought shame to our Team Rocket.”
“That’s okay. I don’t like that guy very much anyway. But since we’re both generals, let me help Lance get revenge.” Lambda’s expression became more vicious and he looked bloodthirsty.
“If you hadn’t revealed your killing intent to me, perhaps I could have spared your life.” Xiaozhi shook his head helplessly, “Mr. Lambda, how are you going to kill me? I will use the same method to kill you in return.”
“It’s a pity there’s no surveillance here, otherwise I would have time to relive the sight of your death.” Lambda glanced at the location of the incinerator and quickly took out a gun from his pocket. It seemed that he was not going to decide the outcome in the trainer’s way.
Since his opponent has no moral principles, Xiaozhi naturally has no worries. He does not have any psychological burden about killing people. Ever since he awakened the power of wave guidance, the view that all things are as worthless has been subtly influencing him, so much so that he himself cannot notice the changes in himself.
Whether this change is good or bad is not the point. Now, the only people that Xiaozhi regards as his peers are those who use special abilities. Otherwise, he would not be so disappointed that Nancy cannot control her emotions. They should have been more rational.
Lambda wanted to pull the trigger of the gun, but a blue light appeared around him. This was an energy wave with a supernatural attribute. He was imprisoned in place by the mental power used by Gengar.
Xiaozhi walked towards Lambda with heavy steps, sky-blue wave aura burning on his body and condensed into an air sword in his hand.
Looking at Lambda’s panicked expression, Xiaozhi swung lightly at his neck, and blood like a fountain splashed on his fair face with a fishy smell.
The head slid off and Lambda knelt weakly on the ground.
After gently wiping the blood off his face, Xiaozhi placed the decapitated Lambda on the conveyor belt and watched him being sent to the incinerator.
There is no need to mention the dead man anymore.
Xiaozhi picked up the Raid and released Butterfree, ready to let it use teleport to take them away.
There are only two ways to learn teleportation. One is to improve your strength, and the other is to use the move learning device developed by Silver Corporation.
Although Butterfree cannot learn to teleport by improving its strength, the set of move learning devices that Xiaozhi bought in Golden City can allow it to learn this move. At this stage, it can only reach places it has already been to.
The Thunder Elf slowly opened its eyes. It looked up at the ceiling and looked around. It seemed to be in a small room. The feeling from its abdomen told it that it was on a soft bed made by humans.
The last memory of the Thunder Elf was when the researcher injected it with a drug. It remembered that it seemed to be unable to hold on at that time: “Huh? (Is this heaven?)”
“Buyi! (Sister, you finally woke up!)” After seeing the Thunder Elf wake up, Eevee pounced directly on it.
After seeing his brother, the Thunder Elf was unable to react for a moment. He asked naturally, “Huh? (Abu, how come you are in heaven too?)”
“Buyi. (Sister, although you have become much more stupid after becoming like this, I will not despise you.)”
Ibrahimovic patted the Thunder Elf’s head and said in a very annoying tone: “Buyi. (This is not heaven. It was the boss I just recognized who saved you. He and the police destroyed the underground base of the bad guys, and everyone inside was rescued.)”
“Huh?” The Thunder Elf tilted his head in confusion. “Huh?” “So, Abu, you were conquered by humans?”
“Buyi! (Our boss is so powerful, he can understand the words of elves!)” Eevee jumped excitedly, “Buyi Buyi Buyi! (Sister, you don’t know how powerful our boss is! He is simply a cold-blooded killer who kills people without blinking an eye! To be honest, I was scared silly at that time!)”
“Ibrahimovic, who do you say is the cold-faced killer?”
The door of the hotel was opened, and Xiaozhi was holding a bag full of things in both hands. These were the nutritional supplements he bought at Yuhong Department Store: “Hurry up and explain the current situation to your sister. We will be leaving soon.”
Chapter 058 P1 Competition (Old Version)
The Rocket Team base underground in Yuhong Game City was destroyed by the police. As for the follow-up situation, Xiaozhi did not have the leisure to stay here and continue to wait and see. He still had to go to the next city to challenge the gym and get the badge, so time was very tight.
On the way, Xiaozhi helped the police in the Yo-Yo-Yo area solve a case of a missing child and caught the culprit, the Nightmare Tapir.
This dream-inducing tapir is only average in terms of talent and potential.
Xiaozhi had no intention of training this guy and simply gave it to Nancy. After all, he had received a commission from the Psychic Queen to capture a Psychic Pokémon with potential and give it to her.
But this was not given away in vain. Xiaozhi won the vote of the gym leader by arguing for his rights.
In other words, if Xiaozhi wants to become a civil servant of the alliance in the future, he can use this ticket to reduce the assessment process to a certain extent. The same is true for Ma Zhishi’s commission reward.
Taking on missions from gym leaders and obtaining votes after completing them to reduce the civil servant assessment process is the League’s incentive policy for trainers.
Before arriving in Crimson City, Xiaozhi plans to go to the power plant in Black Cloud City to capture the naughty thunder bomb living there and complete the commission given to him by Ma Zhishi.
However, on the outskirts of Heiyun City, Xiaozhi was attracted by a poster on the wall, which was promoting a fighting competition – the P1 Competition.
The participating elves are limited to fighting attributes, and the winner can get a P1 championship belt with a medal on it made of pure gold.
Of course Xiaozhi would sign up for this kind of competition that would bring honor to himself and his Pokémon, and it would be a good opportunity to test the Pokémon’s strength.
Xiaozhi looked at the date of the event, which was today.
“Mr. Trainer passing by, could you please accept my request?” When Xiaozhi was about to sign up for the competition, a girl suddenly stopped him.
The girl’s name is Ai Mei. In order to win the P1 championship, her father Shan Dou left home and opened a Douhun Gym in the wild to train with Kai Quanlang.
The Fighting Spirit Gym is naturally not an official gym. Like Xiao Ming’s gym, it is a private gym, which means it is not recognized by the alliance.
Ai Mei’s commission is to let Xiaozhi defeat his father’s Quick Punch Man so that the family-unfocused Shan Dou can wake up.
For Xiaozhi, this kind of thing is just a piece of cake.
Anyway, the opponent is just an enemy who is trying to stop him from winning the championship. There is no need to show mercy. Just use your strongest strength to defeat him completely.
The P1 competition started soon. The competition venue was a bit like a boxing ring. The rules were 1V1, and other elves could not be replaced during the competition until the final winner was decided.
The Pokémon that Xiaozhi registered for the competition is Riolu. This guy has been trained by Fast Punch and Fast Kick, and his strength is improving by leaps and bounds.
But to Xiaozhi’s disappointment, the strength of the contestants varied greatly. For example, the wrist strength didn’t even have a bit of muscle.
The game was very boring. Riolu basically pushed away the opponents in front of it, and most of the Pokémons prevented it from successfully using its second move.
Xiaozhi soon faced Fandou, but what surprised him was…
The fast puncher that Shan Dou had was not as strong as the one he picked from Wude. It can only be said that it would be a waste of effort to train an elf if it had no potential.
Shan Dou is undoubtedly a master with a talent for fighting skills, but the same cannot be said for his fast puncher.
After defeating Sandou without any delay, Xiaozhi finally faced his last opponent. The Pokémon used by that contestant was a Monster, but unfortunately its physical strength was severely depleted and it probably couldn’t withstand more than two moves from Riolu.
“Use your strength, gather your energy and use the cross split!” the contestant commanded.
Hearing the trainer’s order, Strange crossed his arms in a cross shape and rushed towards Riolu who was in a defensive stance, seemingly unstoppable.
Riolu closed his eyes and released the waveguide. After sensing the strange force rushing towards him, he turned sideways and flexibly dodged the strange force’s cross strike, like a fallen leaf blown by the wind or a pebble washed by water.
“Riolu, power up your punch.”
Since Riolu’s attacks are not as terrifying as its super strength, Xiaozhi chooses to let it strengthen itself to gain the strength to fight.
Looking at the monster force rushing towards him again, a yellow light emanated from Riolu’s hand, followed by a Gatling-like attack.
“Exert your strength.” Seeing the red aura burning on Riolu’s body as his power increased, Xiaozhi did not continue to use the enhanced punch to increase his attack, but chose to decide the outcome immediately, as Riolu’s body could not control this power for a long time.
As if containing enormous power, Riolu suddenly slapped the monster’s abdomen, and the inch of force instantly knocked it onto the fence, as if swallowing mountains and rivers.
However, the strange power did not lose its fighting ability, but its condition was not very good, like a candle in the wind.
“Strange strength, use revenge.” The contestant shouted.
Guai Li leaned against the railing to steady his body, pounded his chest with his hands behind his back, and then ran quickly towards the gasping Riolu.
The fighting moves released by the four hands of the monster were almost unstoppable. Even if Riolu used the power of waves, the accuracy would gradually decrease with the passage of time just like Ultra Instinct. Gradually, Riolu was attacked by the monster.
“Hold on.” Although the strange power is now like a spent bow and arrow, this desperate momentum is not something Riolu can stop, so Xiaozhi avoids its edge.
The energy barrier had just been condensed, and before Riolu could rest for a while, the contestant chose to pursue the victory: “Super strength, full-strength explosive punch.”
Under Riolu’s shocked eyes, the explosive fist shattered the energy barrier. As the saying goes, things change over time, and this time Riolu was hit on the fence.
“Riolu, you are more than that.”
Xiaozhi cheered for Riolu: “Think about the fighting skills your two masters, Fast Punch Lang and Flying Kick Lang, taught you, and use all your strength!”
Looking up at the strange force coming towards it, Riolu’s eyes flashed with strong unwillingness. In a trance, it seemed that a force was guided out from Riolu’s body, and white light appeared on its body until it completely enveloped it.
The white light dissipated, and Lucario appeared in front of everyone, like Anubis, the god of death in Egyptian mythology, who saw through the vanity of the world.
Xiaozhi called softly, “Lucario, come back to life.”
Chapter 059: Emergency at the Power Plant (Old Version)
The monster with little stamina was knocked down by Resurrection. Riolu, no, now it should be said that Lucario, it successfully won the championship of this P1 competition.
The presenter put the P1 championship belt on Lucario’s waist, and the audience burst into warm applause, cheering for the champion of this competition.
After attending the closing ceremony of the P1 competition, Xiaozhi traveled to Heiyun City overnight.
As for the family-indifferent Shan Dou, after being defeated by Xiaozhi, he simply admitted his mistake and said that he would never evade responsibility in the future.
All in all, everyone was happy in the end and no one was injured.
Xiaozhi came to the power plant in Black Cloud City. He captured the naughty Leidan that lived there and set the Poké Ball to be transmitted to the Vermilion Gym.
These naughty mines are not used to supply power to this power plant. They are old hooligans who came here from afar across the ocean to steal electricity after the power plant was built.
Although the power plant employees wanted to deal with these naughty bombs, they had to give up in the end because they were easily agitated and exploded.
Ma Zhishi’s commission required that ten gentle and non-irritable naughty thunder bombs be captured and sent to him.
Xiaozhi brought Pikachu and Eevee, used the system’s detection eye, and ordered Butterfree to release hypnotic powder to carry out the capture mission.
The hypnotic powder move can be said to be a panacea in the world of moves. When used in conjunction with Xiaozhi’s wave force, the opponent will have no time to react.
“Pikachu, this is the nth Pikachu we have seen?” Xiaozhi scanned the Pikachu in front of him, and after finding that this one had an unsuitable personality, he immediately switched his view to the next target.
“Pikapi, Pikachu? (There are probably more than two hundred of them, but Xiaozhi, you’ve only found three that aren’t so angry. At this rate, do you think we can complete the mission today?)” Pikachu yawned subconsciously. It felt a little bored now.
“Buyi Buyi? (Little Pi, you are still no good. If you can’t even control your temper, how can you serve our boss through fire and water in the future?)” Ibrahimovic said in a mean way, “Buyi Buyi! (Look at me, the master, I am walking behind you to protect you in order to prevent you from being attacked!)”
“Pika Pika. (Come on, you wimp. You’re making such a righteous statement about being afraid of the Naughty Mine exploding so that Xiaozhi and I could be your human shields.)” Pikachu said with disdain, “Pika Pikachu! (I’ve never seen such a shameless Pokémon in my life!)”
“Buyi Buyi? (Hey, Eevee, you can’t say that. Didn’t you see it today?)” Eevee’s words almost pissed off Pikachu to death.
“Pikachu!” Pikachu tried to calm himself down and said, “Pikachu!” “God of Electric Mouse, please bless this Eevee’s future children so that they won’t be as mean as it is.”
“Buyi. (The Ibrahimovic family has someone like me, it’s like smoke is rising from their ancestral graves.)” Ibrahimovic was not ashamed but proud, “Buyi Buyi! Buyi? (Great Ming God of the Ibrahimovic family, can you please stop making your electric mouse friend envy me? There’s no need to curse people for being infertile! Don’t you agree, boss?)”
Hearing this, Pikachu almost vomited blood. This Eevee was really good at scolding. A high-quality Pokémon like himself could not compare to him.
“Stop talking about these nonsense.”
Xiaozhi patted Eevee’s head gently and looked at Pikachu and said, “Pikachu, do you sense anything? I always feel that something has changed, but I can’t tell where it is. I don’t know if it’s my illusion.”
“Pikachu! (Xiaozhi, your feeling is right, the electricity here has become extremely violent!)” Pikachu looked around vigilantly, “Pikachu! (It seems that something is coming here, everyone quickly prepare for battle!)”
As the big brother of the team, Pikachu has authority second only to Ash. Even though its current strength is not as good as Charizard and others, because it cares about its teammates on a daily basis and due to various other factors, it is able to command and calm all the Pokémon in the team in emergencies.
The frivolous Ibrahimovic’s expression instantly changed after hearing this. Joking aside, it was very clear about the relationship between superiors and subordinates. Their only mission was to protect their masters from danger, and they could sacrifice their lives for this.
As the lights of the power plant continued to flicker, a black shadow flapped its wings and slowly landed in front of Xiaozhi. The surging and violent electric current announced its identity: the legendary bird spirit in the Kanto region, the Lightning Bird that can control the weather.
Xiaozhi never thought that he would encounter Zapdos at the power plant. He had some thoughts about catching it, but unfortunately his current strength was not enough. Even if all the Pokémon appeared in a round-robin battle, he would not be able to defeat it.
If it is hard to say after half a year, we can increase resource investment and let the time pass. Just give him another half a year and it will be fine.
Since it is impossible to tame it at this stage, Xiaozhi decided to chat with this Zapdos and persuade it to help him deal with Mewtwo’s counterattack in the future. It is always good to make a few insurance preparations.
“Zapdos, what are you doing in our human power plant?” Xiaozhi asked knowingly as he looked at the Zapdos absorbing electricity.
“(Are you trying to stop me from absorbing electricity?)” the lightning bird telepathically said, “(Young man with the qualities of a king, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business, lest you bring disaster upon yourself.)”
“The qualities of a king?”
For some reason, Xiaozhi suddenly became interested after hearing this term: “Lord God of Thunder from the Kanto region, can you tell me what that is?”
“(We call those who have different thoughts and can change the world as having the qualities of a king.)”
Enjoying the baptism of electric current, Zapdos explained leisurely: “(The quality of a king is just a conceptual noun. In fact, such a thing does not exist. As long as human thought reaches that level, we divine beasts will call you that.)”
“I see. Thank you for answering my question.”
Xiaozhi thought that this Zapdos was easy to talk to and should be able to agree to his request: “Respected Lord Thunder God, do you want to fight a strong man?”
Chapter 060 Commission Completed (Old Version)
“(Human, what do you mean by that?)” Zapdos felt that Xiaozhi was hinting at something else, “(Do you want to fight me? You are qualified to be a king, but your strength is still too weak.)”
Due to absorbing a large amount of electricity, the lightning bird is in a very good mood now. It doesn’t mind chatting with the human in front of it, but that’s all.
If the opponent insults it or provokes it, the Zapdos will summon lightning without mercy and let the opponent be struck by lightning and turned into a bloody mist.
“I admit that I do want to fight you.” Xiaozhi changed the subject, “But that’s not what I want to say. The criminal organization Team Rocket in the Kanto region has recently created an artificial beast. It is very likely to threaten the safety of all living things on this continent. For this, I need the assistance of your beasts.”
“(Artificial mythical beast? Interesting, tell me more about it.)” This was the first time in Zapdos’s life that it had heard of such a thing, and it was intrigued by Xiaozhi’s words.
The power of the mythical beast comes from faith.
The more people believe in them, the stronger the power of the beasts will be. Conversely, if no humans believe in them, the beasts will lose their power.
This only applies to mythical beasts with divine duties, such as the three stupid birds in the Orange Islands. They do not have divinity in the traditional sense but regard themselves as real gods.
Divine beasts without divine duties are not affected by this. For example, the super ancient divine beasts in the Hoenn region were born from natural energy and are naturally wild.
However, all of these without exception show that the reason why the mythical beasts are called mythical beasts is because they are the embodiment of natural laws, not the controllers of the laws.
But the human in front of him said that a certain group among them created the divine beast.
Although Zapdos is not sure whether this news is true or not, it undoubtedly shows that humans are getting closer and closer to the realm of God, which is worthy of vigilance.
“Here’s what happened.” Considering the brain capacity of Zapdos, Xiaozhi simplified his words, “Team Rocket once obtained fragments of Mew’s skin and used it as a blueprint for experiments. They created a new type of mythical beast that is different from Mew. Its strength may be stronger than the parent Mew.”
“(Human, can you guarantee to me that what you said is true?)” Zapdos felt a headache when he heard this. Today humans can create divine beasts that surpass the original, but tomorrow they may lock them up in the basement for research.
This is by no means an exaggeration. Even Zapdos, the native god of the Kanto region, who scoffs at the creation legend of the Sinnoh region, has to admit that the powerful old guy was almost killed by humans using mercury.
“As a divine beast, you should know the character of people like me.” Xiaozhi covered his chest with one hand, his sincere eyes as bright as a torch.
“(Well, human, you have successfully convinced me. This god is willing to condescend to help you.)” Lightning Bird sighed helplessly, “(So, human, do you want me to defeat it? Or kill it completely?)”
“We just need to defeat it and make it realize the reality. Every living thing has the right to live on this planet.”
Xiaozhi doesn’t think that Zapdos alone can defeat Mewtwo. As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person: “But I’m not sure when it will appear. Zapdos, can you give me a token to summon you?”
“(Human, take this.)” Zapdos plucked a feather from his body, “(When the beast appears next to you, just hold this feather and silently call my name, and I will appear by your side.)”
After giving Ash his token, Zapdos flapped its wings and flew away fully fed, and the power plant returned to its original state.
Xiaozhi put the black feather into his waist bag and continued to capture the mild-mannered and naughty Zapdos. He didn’t know if it was because of the Zapdos, but these naughty Zapdos became unusually well-behaved and didn’t even dare to breathe.
Thanks to this, Xiaozhi quickly collected all the naughty bombs. He hoped that these naughty bombs could help him complete the commission smoothly.
“Xiaozhi, I received the naughty mines you sent.” On the other end of the video call, Ma Zhishi patted Naughty Mine’s head, his tone full of gratitude. He was very satisfied with the batch of Naughty Mine sent by Xiaozhi.
If the alliance hadn’t been urging him recently, Ma Zhishi wouldn’t have come to outsiders to complete this task. Fortunately, Xiaozhi did not disappoint him.
Ma Zhishi put the Naughty Thunder back into the ball, handed the Poké Ball to the gym apprentice and asked, “Xiaozhi, besides the vote of our gym leader, do you want any other rewards? Just tell me, I will do my best to help you get them! These things are what you deserve, you’re welcome!”
“I really don’t have anything I want. How about you give me a lucky cat? I like those things very much.” Xiaozhi hung up the video call with a smile. Ma Zhishi would owe him this favor, as he might need it in the future.
Far away in the Vermilion Gym in Vermilion City, Ma Zhishi looked at the video phone with a black screen, scratched his head and thought about the meaning of Xiaozhi’s words just now.
Although he has been in the Kanto region for decades, Ma Zhishi, as a member of the Unified People, is still unable to accurately distinguish the differences in grammar and still does not know which words are jokes and which are serious.
“Master, where do you want me to find you a lucky cat?”
Ma Zhishi hammered his hands in sudden realization. It seemed that there was a spirit called the Maneki Neko in the Kanto region: “I know where to find it!”
Xiaozhi set out for Asakusa City, obviously unaware that Ma Zhishi had misunderstood him. When he received the reward mailed by Ma Zhishi, it was two months later. When he opened the box, he felt both angry and amused.
Chapter 061: Crimson Gym (Old Version)
Crimson City is a city located in the southwest of the Kanto region. Its most famous landmarks are the Wild Wilderness Area and the Crimson Gym.
At the same time, this is also a city close to the coast. Not far to the south of Qianhong City, there is a beautiful beach, which is one of the reasons why many tourists come here to travel.
After Xiaozhi left Black Cloud City, he dealt with the Diglett plague in the wild and then came to Crimson City to prepare for the upcoming gym battle.
The Crimson Gym is the official gym of Crimson City, specializing in poison attributes. The gym master is Aju, a very famous trainer in both Kanto and Johto. He is considered to be the backup to the Four Heavenly Kings and is very powerful.
The exterior of the Crimson Gym is an ancient building, and their family is also a traditional ninja family, very famous in Crimson City.
Aju’s nickname is ‘Poison is omnipotent’. He studies medicines and poisons, and has used the medicines he made to treat elves. He is also a ninjutsu master and has taught many students to learn ninjutsu.
One of them is his daughter, A Xing.
He also patrolled the wilderness areas to keep them safe, which is one of the reasons people respected him.
Xiaozhi came to the door of the Crimson Gym, pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
“Welcome to the Crimson Gym.”
A green-haired woman wearing a pink ninja uniform was standing at the gym’s reception desk. When she saw Xiaozhi coming, she asked in a friendly manner, “Excuse me, are you here to learn ninjutsu?”
It’s no wonder that Ayane would ask this. Many trainers come to the Crimson Gym not only to obtain badges, but also to ask Aju about ninjutsu. Most of them are trainers from other regions.
This is largely due to the fact that the Kanto region attaches great importance to cultural propaganda. After all, the Kanto region is the headquarters of the alliance and plays a guiding role for other regions.
“No, I’m here to challenge the gym and get the badge.” Xiaozhi shook his head slightly. Ninjutsu is ultimately just an ambush tactic and is not as magical as it is portrayed in Naruto.
So, instead of learning such deceptive tricks, it is better to think about how to improve your own abilities.
“You want to challenge my brother?” Ayane paused for a moment, then made a gesture of invitation, “Well, please follow me.”
Xiaozhi followed Ayane to a room inside the gym, where he saw Akane sitting on her knees, who did look a bit like a ninja.
“Brother, a famous trainer wants to challenge you.” Ayane half-knelt on the ground and said to Aju who was meditating.
“I understand.” Aju slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiaozhi while thinking whether to let him go. “Trainer, tell me your name.”
Since the other party is a candidate for the Elite Four, Xiaozhi did not dare to be careless: “I am Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. I now have a total of five badges.”
As for why the total number of badges should be reported, this was the implication of Ah Ju’s words.
What Ah Ju said was simply to say, if you can hear the hidden meaning in my words, then I will fight you with all my strength. If you can’t hear it, then I will let you go appropriately in the fight.
Xiaozhi is not willing to fight a Pokémon battle with a gym owner who lets his Pokémon win, because his Pokémon won’t get any experience at all, and will instead become proud and complacent, which is something Xiaozhi doesn’t want to see.
“It seems that you are very familiar with these words.”
Ah Ju smiled slightly. The boy in front of him was worthy of his full strength. “How about we play two on two in this match?”
“That’s what I wish for.” Actually, Xiaozhi wanted to have a full-team battle with Aju, but the match would take too long. A gym battle didn’t need to be so stressful.
The referee of this match was Ayane. After both sides took their positions, she waved the flag and announced: “The match begins!”
“This is the first one I’ll send out.” Aju threw out the Poké Ball, and the Mormoth with the advanced strength of a quasi-king appeared on the battlefield.
Xiaozhi looked at the Mormoth while placing his hand on his Poké Ball belt, considering who to send out this turn.
It might be better to send out Charizard against the Moth with insect and poison attributes, but this guy has a psychological problem, and consecutive victories will easily make him swell up.
Soon, Xiaozhi decided on the candidate: “Hacklonian, it’s you.”
Aji didn’t expect that Xiaozhi possessed a rare dragon-attribute Pokémon. Looking at the Haxorus flying in the air, he made a preliminary estimate of Haxorus’s strength.
It is on par with his own Moru Moth, perhaps even superior. Could it be that this elf possesses the strength of a quasi-king?
If this is true, after Haxorus evolved into Dragonite, the young man possessed a king-level Pokémon, a realm that he had not been able to achieve in most of his life.
Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating.
Aju inexplicably envied Xiaozhi. As long as you have a Pokémon that reaches the King level, and the other Pokémon in the team have potential, and with a lot of resources, then a breakthrough in strength will be as easy as water flowing into the sky.
“Hawkronos, move at high speed to strengthen yourself.” Xiaozhi gave the order verbally, but secretly let Hawkronos use Dragon Dance.
Language itself has the quality of confusing the enemy. Aju thought that Xiaozhi wanted to end the battle quickly, and this move that simply enhanced speed was not worth guarding against.
But Haklon’s dance didn’t seem to increase in speed, and when he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
“I remember this kind of dance was not good!” Ah Ju shouted, “Molu moth, paralysis powder!”
After hearing the order from its master, the Moth flapped its wings quickly, and yellow-brown powder sprinkled from the surface of its wings and slowly floated towards Hakron.
The paralysis powder can be easily broken with dragon breath, but Ash has other ideas: “Hakron, mysterious protection.”
The move Mystic Guard can protect yourself from falling into abnormal state for a certain period of time. It is a good option to deal with those extremely qualified trainers.
Aju is undoubtedly a master of poison, and Xiaozhi knows this, so he will be prepared to crack the opponent’s tactics.
Chapter 062 Arrival at the King of Heaven (Old Version)
Aju looked at the mysterious protection displayed by Haxlon and couldn’t help but feel troubled. The abnormal state tactics that he was good at were no longer effective.
In this world, strength is the only truth. Even if you cannot defeat your opponent through a war of attrition, you must use tough offensive means to force your opponent to surrender.
“Morumoth, Phantom Beam.” Aji shouted loudly. As a ninja, he would definitely not fight Xiaozhi in a fair duel.
The eyes of the Moth suddenly glowed blue, and then it emitted colorful light. This dazzling illusion fascinated the world-experienced Hakron and made him intoxicated.
Although the mysterious protection can prevent abnormal conditions, it cannot prevent the illusions that corrupt people in the midst of debauchery.
“Hackon, don’t be fooled by the false illusion, wake up quickly.” Xiaozhi reminded.
The role of the trainer is often reflected in this. The nature of the Pokémon is as innocent as that of a child, and they are easily seduced by the extravagant world of the outside world.
At this time, the trainer must find ways to get the Pokémon out of the sea of ​​suffering rather than falling into the abyss with it.
Looking at the dazed Haxorus, Xiaozhi calmly commanded: “Don’t stand there, use Dragon Tail.”
After receiving the trainer’s instructions, Haxorus quickly shook his head and cheered himself up. It was really embarrassing that he had been deceived by the enemy’s fantasy just now.
“Hoooo!”
Along with the sacred dragon roar, the small wings on Hake’s head couldn’t help but grow a little bigger, and its flying speed increased by more than one level.
Looking at the Haxorus getting closer and closer to him, Moluge suddenly felt timid. The dragon’s pressure was a fear rooted in the genes of most elves. This could be improved through acquired training, but it could not be completely eradicated.
“Molu moth, get out of the way!”
However, Aju’s order was too late. The powerful dragon’s tail hit the moth, causing it to fall heavily to the ground.
The moth tried to fly again, but the pain made its movements slow. Its wings, which should have been light, now seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and were difficult to flap.
Ayane, the referee, saw Maruga in such a miserable state and knew that her brother had lost this round.
Xiaozhi will not let go of a weak opponent: “Hakoron, take advantage of the victory and use Dragon Dive!”
The dragon-attributed energy gathered in Haxorus’ body, and the majestic aura like the sea condensed into a real dragon god, with a roar that made all living beings tremble.
The palms of the two trainers present were sweating. If they wanted to control powerful Pokémon, the trainers must have extraordinary courage.
It’s like a tiger locked in a cage. You know it won’t pose any danger to you, but when it roars loudly, you still can’t help but feel fear as your internal organs shake.
“Morumoth, strong mental power.” Aju was the first to recover. He knew very well that the fragile Morumoth could not withstand this move.
As long as Morumoth successfully imprisoned the rushing Haxorus, then he would have time to think about what to do next. Will things really go as Aju expected?
Blue light flashed in the eyes of the Moth again, and a mental power stronger than before was released, and the thought waves temporarily bound Haxorus.
But it is only temporary. Although Haxoron is usually gentle, it has the dignity of a dragon elf and does not want to be controlled by others.
Even Ash, who is recognized by Haxorus, would not have the leisure to make fun of its strength. The dragon-attribute Pokémon’s arrogance is comparable to that of a legendary beast.
“Morumoth, quickly increase the output power!” Aju didn’t believe that the Morumoth he had carefully cultivated could not control the Hakron.
Haxoron gathered all his strength, and his willpower was as hard as rock, gradually breaking through the blockade of the Mormoth.
This may be the disadvantage of super powers. When the opponent’s willpower is stronger than your own, you are likely to suffer backlash.
Following the moth’s painful cry, the blue light in its eyes gradually began to dissipate, and it lost control of Haxorus and could only watch its opponent rushing towards it.
Dragon Dive is a physical attack second only to Dragon Scale in power, and the damage it causes is not something that ordinary elves can withstand.
Moruga was directly knocked out of the battlefield by Haxorus, and even broke the wall of this ancient building, which made Ayane, who had lived here since childhood, feel distressed.
After confirming that Mormoth could no longer fight, Ayane announced: “Mormoth has lost its ability to fight, and Haxorus has won!”
After hearing the referee’s announcement of the result, Haxorus felt extremely excited, as if a force was released from his body.
After putting Moth back into the ball, Akito, who is a quasi-king, saw this scene and realized that Xiaozhi and Haxorus were about to break through a limit.
As Aju expected, Haxorus’s body was slowly changing, and it was evolving towards a more powerful direction.
Dragonite, which has reached the king level, appeared on the battlefield. Its body was orange-yellow, and except for the small horns on its head, there was basically no trace of Dragonite.
“Congratulations, Xiaozhi.” Aju sincerely congratulated, “Now that you have a king-level Dragonite, I’m sure you’ll soon become famous in the league, unlike me, who has been stuck at the quasi-king stage for most of my life.”
Xiaozhi said modestly: “Mr. Aju, the advancement of Haxorus has little to do with me as a trainer. It is purely because of the child himself. It has been so powerful since I captured it.”
Having said that, if it weren’t for the massive amount of resources invested by Xiaozhi, Haxorus would never have been able to evolve into Dragonite in his lifetime.
From the time he captured Haxorus until today, Xiaozhi has spent millions of Alliance Coins on it, and he doesn’t know how long it will take to get his money back.
This is just the training cost of a king-level Pokémon. Xiaozhi couldn’t even imagine the training cost of a champion-level Pokémon.
He is not an artist with a daily salary of 2.08 million, or a Silver Company with a monthly income of over 100 billion.
“Then, let’s start the second round.” Aju threw the Poké Ball, “I wonder how long my trump card can last under your hands.”
Chapter 063 Pink Badge (Old Version)
A white light flashed, and the Cross-bat appeared on the battlefield. Its strength had reached the peak of the quasi-king level.
As A-Jian’s ace Pokémon, Xbat is only one step away from the Elite level, but this step blocks most trainers.
To cultivate a king-level elf, not only a huge amount of resources is needed, but also the elf’s own talent and potential must be strong.
“Cross-shaped bat, cross poison blade!” Aju commanded.
Upon hearing the trainer’s command, the wings of the Crossbat glowed purple, and highly corrosive venom dripped from its wings, causing extremely unpleasant white smoke to rise from the floor.
After warming up, Xbat fixed his eyes on Dragonite, which was adapting its body, and then attacked Dragonite at lightning speed.
Looking at the weak body of Xylobat, Xiaozhi gave the order: “Dragonite, use Storm.”
Dragonite flapped its small wings quickly, and a strong storm immediately swept through the wooden house.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. Several people standing in their respective positions, including the referee Ayane, felt their bodies unsteady.
Due to the sudden change in wind direction, the Crossbat that wanted to attack Dragonite could not get close to its target and could only flap its wings desperately in place.
“Dragon Claw Attack.” After discovering the weakness of Xbat, Xiaozhi ordered Dragonite to launch an attack.
Before Aju could react, Dragonite had already rushed in front of the X-bat, and its speed was so fast that it left several afterimages behind it.
The Crossbat looked up at the dragon claw that was about to attack it and was about to flap its wings to escape the area, but Dragonite was always one step faster than it and kicked it directly to the ground, swooped down and gave it another fierce claw.
“X-bat, use Feather Roost after your shadow clone!” Aju shouted loudly. If the wound is not healed, X-bat may lose its combat capability.
There is a huge difference in strength between the two, but the Crossbat was carefully cultivated by Aju, and he does not want his elf to be defeated like this.
“Gero!”
The cross-bat folded its wings, and a green glow appeared on the surface of its body. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at this moment, no trace of the wound could be seen.
Xiaozhi let Dragonite leave the Crossbat and gave the order: “Dragonite, use Dragon Dance to strengthen yourself.”
Let’s see whether you have a faster recovery speed or my Dragonite can kill you instantly with its overwhelming attack power after being strengthened.
Dragonite performed a war dance in the air. This was the second time it used the Dragon Dance to strengthen itself in this battle. At this time, Dragonite’s attack had reached a terrifying level and was almost unstoppable.
Aju stared at the majestic Dragonite, knowing that the next step would be to decide the winner. He thought about how to inflict heavy damage on his opponent.
“Dragonite, use Reverse Scale.” Time waits for no one, Xiaozhi passed the order before Aju.
The scales all over Dragonite’s body stood up, its eyes were filled with bloodshot, and its claws and fangs became unusually sharp, indicating that it had entered a state of frenzy.
As it looked down at the Crossbat, Aju realized that Dragonite was about to attack, and if he didn’t give the order, he would have no chance.
He said: “Crossbat, put all your efforts into this last move, using the combination of Cross Poison Blade and Air Slash!”
The Crossbat flapped its wings continuously, and the air blade that could even split the sky attacked Dragonite with venom, the power was terrifying.
However, this is useless for Dragonite. As a quasi-god, its durability far exceeds that of other Pokémons, and it is a typical Pokémon with high attack and defense.
When the attack of Crossbat ended, Dragonite suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Crossbat’s wings and threw it to the ground.
After several fights, Xbat lost its ability to fight, and Ash successfully retrieved it before Dragonite fell into chaos, thus preventing it from committing self-harm.
“Xbat has lost its ability to fight, and Dragonite has won, so the winner of this gym challenge is Satoshi.” Ayane announced.
After taking back the Crossbat, Aju took out a scroll from his pocket and spread it out to Xiaozhi: “I admit defeat sincerely. This pink badge should belong to you. Please accept it.”
Xiaozhi took the badge off the scroll, played with it for a while, and put it into the badge box. As long as he got two more badges, he could participate in the Quartz Conference, so there was plenty of time.
After leaving the light crimson gym located deep in the mountains and old forests, Xiaozhi came to the grassland where the Laramies lived. There was a celebration for tomorrow’s Pokémon race, and it looked like there were huge crowds of people.
Xiaozhi, who had just finished challenging the gym, was ready to relax here. He asked the Latinos here about the details of the competition.
“You mean the Pokémon race?” The blue-haired girl riding the pony explained, “It’s a competition to test the results of the Pokémon’s growth. If you win, you will be recognized as an honorary Pokémon and trainer of the Lalamo.”
“I see. Then what are the requirements for participating Pokémon?” Xiaozhi asked. The rules of the competition must be made clear.
Don’t let the situation occur where you finally win the championship, only to have your result revoked because the elf violated the rules.
“There are no specific requirements, as long as the Pokémon can run on the ground.” The blue-haired girl named Tomiko said, “If you, Xiaozhi, plan to use a Pokémon with flying attributes to participate in the competition, you must not let it fly, that would be a foul. Remember, our competition only allows running on the ground.”
Tomiko took Xiaozhi, a foreigner, to visit the celebration. Many people greeted Tomiko along the way. She was considered to be the candidate for the championship of this Pokémon Race and was also well-known in the village.
After buying a few croquettes at a roadside stall, Xiaozhi planned to ask Tomiko where to register for the competition. He had already decided on the candidates, and now all he had to do was go and register.
“Hey, Tomiko!” A famous boy ran over breathlessly, “There’s something wrong with the group of Kentaro you’re taking care of!”
When Tomiko heard this, she quickly rode on Ponyta and rushed to where Kentaro was. After Xiaozhi finished eating the croquette in his hand, he followed.
The young man who stayed behind showed a sinister smile.
Chapter 064 Elf Race (Old Version)
That night, at Tomiko’s house.
Earlier, Tomiko rushed to her family’s ranch in a hurry. When she was trying to comfort Kentaro, the little fire horse was frightened and fell to the ground, breaking her arm joint.
Although Tomiko has now undergone a simple bandage, she will definitely not be able to participate in tomorrow’s elf race. It is still too difficult for her to go into the race with an injury.
Tomiko looked out the window, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the loneliness in her eyes.
“Ms. Tomiko, you can set your goal for next year,” Xiaozhi comforted.
“I got it!” Tomiko suddenly suggested, “Xiaozhi, how about you ride Ponyta to participate in the competition? If this kid cooperates with you and wins the championship, it will prove its strength. It will be my greatest honor for it to be recognized.”
“But I’ve only known the little fire pony for a few hours. If I ride it, I’ll probably be repelled by its flames.”
Xiaozhi thought that Tomiko’s idea was a little bit fanciful: “Besides, I have never ridden a pony before, so it’s impossible for me to become proficient in riding in such a short time.”
“As long as you can gain the trust of Ponyta, Xiaozhi, you will not feel it is hot when you touch it. I guarantee this in the name of the Lalamoka tribe.”
Tomiko saw the riding device on Xiaozhi’s hand, and she proposed again: “I will do my best to teach you riding skills. If you win the championship, Xiaozhi, I can register the little fire horse on your riding device! As a traveling elf, the little fire horse is the most suitable choice!”
The riding device developed by Silver Corporation can summon the elves registered on it anytime and anywhere, which is equivalent to a portable elf transmission device.
Although there are huge differences in functions between the two, this does not affect its high price. After all, it uses the most advanced space teleportation technology of the time.
After hearing what Tomiko said, Xiaozhi could only nod and agree helplessly. If he continued to refuse, both parties would be embarrassed.
In fact, Xiaozhi was still very grateful for Tomiko’s commission. At the beginning of the journey, he did feel that hiking was a unique experience, but as time went on, he gradually got tired of this boring journey, which was a pure waste of his time training Pokémon.
Tomiko stayed up all night teaching Xiaozhi how to ride at her own ranch. Fortunately, Xiaozhi had a good understanding and with the active cooperation of Ponyta, he quickly mastered the riding skills.
It was the early morning of the next day. The audience seats for the Pokémon race were packed with people. Xiaozhi was waiting in front of the starting line on his Charmander.
After the host’s nonsense, a large number of contestants came to the starting line, but most people’s attention was attracted by Pikachu riding on Eevee.
“Buyi Buyi? Buyi! (This plot development seems a little wrong, why are you, Xiaopi, riding on my back? Get off me quickly!)”
“Pika Pika? Pika! (You don’t want to be ridden by me, do you want to be ridden by the old sprayers? Look at your small body, are you qualified?)” Pikachu deceived Eevee by tricking him, and made the not-so-smart Eevee unable to move.
“Buyi… (No, Master, I mean…)”
“Pika! (Stop talking nonsense, the game is about to start!)”
As the referee’s gun sounded and smoke rose, all the contestants rushed out of the starting line and ran to the front in a swarm, trying to compete for the leading position.
Since the path at the beginning is a straight line without any obstacles, many experienced runners choose to conserve their energy to prepare for the next difficult run.
The trainer running in the front was the one riding a Dodoli. His name was Dolifu, and he belonged to the same Lalamo tribe as Tomiko.
In a long race, allocating physical energy is extremely important. Ash did not let Ponyta go at its best, but instead let it conserve its energy to cope with the endurance segment which consumes a lot of energy.
Next is a 45-degree slope path, which involves steep uphill and downhill roads, with the focus on the breathing of the trainer and the Pokémon.
Dolif is still in the lead, followed closely by Xiaozhi riding on Ponyta.
After a steep uphill road, Xiaozhi stood at the top of the mountain overlooking the downhill road. Coordination is the key here. Once you lose your footing, all your efforts will be wasted.
All the elves slowed down at the same time, but one contestant stood out, surpassed Ponyta and Duduli, and rushed straight down.
Xiaozhi looked at the trainer who was stepping on the naughty mine and felt that this guy was really talented.
However, the good times did not last long. The naughty thunder bomb accidentally fell into a large hole on the ground. As the voltage inside its body rose rapidly, the naughty thunder bomb exploded on the spot.
After crossing the downhill slope, a stream appeared in front of Xiaozhi, with floating stone-like steps on it for the Pokémon to land on.
Thanks to Fu Zi’s usual training, the little fire horse quickly crossed the clear stream, and the gap with Duduli who was running in front was gradually narrowing.
In the blink of an eye, Xiaozhi arrived at the final obstacle level. In this level, he had to wait until the Pokémon finished eating the food before he could move on.
Fortunately, Charmeleon is not Ash’s Pokémon, otherwise it would not be able to eat such ordinary quality feed.
In addition, the Duduli next to them seemed to be arguing about feed.
After Charmander finished eating the feed, Xiaozhi asked it to run into the stadium as fast as it could. As long as there were no accidents during the sprint, they would be the winners.
“Duduli, use triple attack!” Dulifu shouted from behind.
Three energies of different attributes hit the little fire horse, slowing it down a little, and Duduli behind it quickly caught up.
The commentator pointed out that Dulifu’s attack was illegal, but he continued to ride forward on Duduli, not taking the unlocking officer’s words seriously at all, and was arrogant and domineering.
Looking at the Dudulli in front of it, red flames suddenly burned on the little fire horse’s body. As the dazzling white light flashed, its body gradually changed.
As an evolved form, the Flame Horse is much taller than the Little Flame Horse. It is light yellow all over, with a mane of blazing flames from the top of its head along its spine to its tail. It has an object similar to a horn on its head, and its eyes are fiery red.
“Pyromancer, use Charged Flame Attack.” Xiaozhi commanded.
The flames on the flaming horse turned into a raging fire, but Xiaozhi, who was sitting on its back, was not affected at all.
Looking at the Flamehorse that had surpassed him, Dolifu ordered Toot Toot to attack again, but Xiaozhi used his superb riding skills to make the Flamehorse avoid the triple attack.
After launching two consecutive attacks, Duduli no longer had much physical strength left and could no longer maintain its speed.
Duduli gradually fell behind the Flame Horse and lost the chance of winning.
“The game is over! The situation has been reversed!” the unlocker shouted, “The Flame Horse performed a miraculous comeback!”
