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

Page 88

"No, I'm here to challenge the gym," said Shigeru.

"Oh, I see. Then come with me." Upon hearing that Xiao Mao was there to challenge the gym, the man immediately lost interest and led Xiao Mao into a room inside the gym, which served as a battle arena.

A middle-aged man in a karate uniform stood inside, his back to the crowd. You could see the black belt around his waist, which symbolized the highest level of karate.

"Master, someone's here to challenge the dojo!" the man shouted.

The middle-aged man turned around, sized up Xiao Mao, and said, "Our dojo is a fighting dojo, and it's very strong. It's not something a kid like you can challenge. I advise you to think it over again."

Xiao Mao was speechless. He hadn't expected that the system would issue a task and he would actually be fooled by the other party. After all, martial artists have a strong aura and a calm demeanor that can easily deceive people.

“If they’re not strong, there’s no point in challenging them,” Xiao Mao said.

"If you have the courage, then let me introduce myself first. My name is Wu Yi, and I am the head of the Harbor Dojo." The middle-aged man introduced himself.

"My name is Shigeru, and I come from Pallet Town."

After introducing himself, Wu Yi asked his apprentice to act as the referee.

"The rules for gym battles are 2 vs 2, so let's begin." Without any unnecessary words, Wu Yi explained how many Pokémon could be used in a gym battle before throwing out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

A humanoid elf wearing boxing gloves makes its appearance.

【LV30 Fast Punch Boy♂/Dojo】

Martial Arts' first Pokémon is Hitmonchan, a classic Fighting-type Pokémon. If it were a few months ago, it would have been a bit difficult for Gary.

"Eevee, this battle is up to you." Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

【LV34 Eevee♂/Near Legendary】

Gary sent out an Eevee whose level wasn't too far off, since gym battles are for honing Pokémon, so it's natural to send out the right Pokémon.

After a week of training in the port city, it's time to test Ibrahimovic's abilities.

Upon seeing Eevee, Wu Yi thought, "Baby is indeed baby. It's one thing that it hasn't evolved, but doesn't it know that Fighting-type Pokémon are super effective against Normal-type Pokémon?"

"Sonic punch!"

Hitmonlee used a priority move and charged towards Eevee. Eevee, not to be outdone, used Quick Attack and headbutted Hitmonlee's fist. As expected, Eevee was sent flying into the air by the punch, but Hitmonlee also staggered back two steps.

"One hundred thousand volts!"

Eevee, still in mid-air, immediately unleashed a bolt of lightning, striking the unsuspecting Hitmonlee.

"What! It can use Thunderbolt?" Wu Yi was dumbfounded. Although he had never raised an Eevee, he had never seen an Eevee use any type of move other than Normal-type moves. It was too rare.

"Quick Fist Master, use Explosive Fist!" Wu Yi got serious and unleashed his ultimate move.

With a quick slide, Quick-Punch Lang covered nearly two meters in an instant, quickly closing in on Ibrahimovic.

"The water flow has broken!" Xiao Mao exclaimed.

"Bah!"

A layer of water swirled around Eevee's tail, transforming into a water blade. It swung its tail forward and slashed. Abby was stunned. This was supposed to be a fight with bare hands, but the opponent suddenly pulled out a knife. It was so unsportsmanlike.

Fortunately, Quick Punch's punches were hard enough that he fought Ibrahimovic to a standstill. After exchanging blows several times, they were knocked away by the force of their collision.

"Jump up and unleash a massive fireball!"

Upon hearing the sound, Ibu leaped up, took a deep breath, and exhaled a large burst of flame, instantly illuminating the entire room.

boom! ! !

Because the venue was relatively small, Quick Punch Bro had no room to dodge. He landed with a huge burst of flames and exploded with a bang.

After the smoke cleared, Quick Fist Bro lay on the ground, his body charred black, with wisps of white smoke still rising from him.

"Quick Punch is incapacitated, Ibu wins!" Martial Arts' apprentice announced.

"Wow, Eevee is amazing! Its moves are so powerful!" Wu Yi thought to himself.

Whether it's Thunderbolt, Water Burst, or Flame Burst, they are all powerful moves. The key is that they have a lot of moves of different types, which is quite rare for other Pokémon.

"Flying Kick, come here!" Wu Yi threw out the second Pokémon.

Baton!

Hitmonlee is also a very traditional Fighting-type Pokémon, and like Hitmonlee, it evolves from Fearless.

Fearless Boy is a special Pokémon; it can take three forms: Hitmonchan, Punchmon, and Hitmonchan.

To evolve into Hitmonlee, your Attack stat needs to be greater than your Defense stat.

To evolve into Quick Punch, your physical defense value must be greater than your physical attack value.

To evolve into Harumi, your Attack stat must equal your Defense stat.

"Flying Kick, use a double kick!" Wu Yi launched an attack.

With a powerful horizontal kick, Lang launched his spring-like leg ten meters away, charging rapidly towards Ibrahimovic.

Knowing that a double kick is difficult to dodge, especially one used by Hitmonlee, Gary immediately commanded, "Thunderbolt!"

"Bah!"

Eevee unleashed a Thunderbolt attack on the incoming leg, the electricity flowing along Hitmonlee's leg to Hitmonlee's body. At the same time, Hitmonlee's kick also struck Eevee.

Both sides were injured almost simultaneously.

However, Ibrahimovic came out ahead, as his Thunderbolt attack hit Hitmonlee, preventing it from launching a second kick.

"Use a flying kick!"

Flying Kick Man launched himself into the air, delivering a horizontal kick that stretched several meters in length.

"Strengthen your mental focus!" Xiao Mao commanded.

"Bah!"

Eevee unleashed its psychic power, freezing Hitmonlee in mid-air. Then, an invisible force erupted, sending Hitmonlee flying.

Chapter 125: Technician Ibu

boom! !

Flying Kick Lang crashed into the wall outside the arena; the psychic attack had caused him considerable damage.

"What?! It even knows Psychic-type moves!" Wu Yi was stunned. Not only did it know so many skills before, but it also knows Psychic-type moves that are super effective against Fighting-type Pokémon. It's too comprehensive.

"What!"

Despite being hit with such a powerful blow, Flying Kick didn't fall; instead, he bravely stood up.

"Your mental focus is excellent today, keep going," Xiao Mao commanded.

In seven days, Eevee had already mastered the basics of Psychic. Its learning talent was quite terrifying; it mastered Psychic in just seven days. Although there were still some flaws and its power was still lacking, it had indeed truly mastered it.

"Bah!"

Ibrahimovic unleashed his Spirit Power once again.

Hit-Kick was completely unaware of the trajectory of the Psychic attack. As soon as he entered the arena, he was hit by the Nen ability and sent flying backward once again.

boom! !

After being attacked twice by psychic powers, Hitman couldn't withstand it and fell down, never to get up again.

"Hitting Kick is unable to fight, Eevee wins. The winner of this gym battle is challenger Gary," announced Wuyi's apprentice.

"I lost."

"Come back, Flying Kick Guy."

Wu Yi also admitted his defeat. He realized that Xiao Mao in front of him was no ordinary trainer. It was not something that an ordinary trainer could do to raise an Eevee so well.

"Congratulations, this is our dojo's badge, the reddish-brown badge." Wu Yi handed his dojo's badge to Xiao Mao. It was a fist-shaped badge, entirely reddish-brown.

"Thank you."

Xiao Shigeru accepted the badge.

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

Although this time I got 5 low-level Magic Candies, the Burst Punch skill is still quite good. Being hit by Burst Punch will put the target into a confused state with a 100% success rate.

Furthermore, there are quite a few Pokémon that can learn Burst Punch, such as Blastoise, Alakazam, Gigantamax Rhydon, Forsaken, Electabuzz, and even Tyranitar, which he hasn't caught yet.

Get the Harbor Dojo badge.

Shigeru found a random spot outside, released Electabuzz, and taught it the Burst Punch skill.

Electabuzz was quite surprised. It could sense that Burst Punch was a very powerful move, and its trust in Gary increased even more.

The feeling of awakening a new skill without much training, from the initial confusion to now, with Electabuzz completely corrupted, is wonderful.

"Next, we should head to Tokiwa City."

Xiao Mao looked at the distant sky.

Viridian City was a hurdle for Gary. In the original story, Gary challenged the Viridian Gym and easily defeated the Pokémon sent by Giovanni. However, when Mewtwo appeared, all of Gary's Pokémon were instantly defeated.

Even Gary and his girlfriends were attacked by Mewtwo, causing them all to fall into a coma. Fortunately, Giovanni acted like a human being and did not steal the challenger's Pokémon.

To be honest, Shigeru actually wanted to avoid this battle that he couldn't win, but now that he has the system, although he still definitely can't beat Mewtwo, the system might issue some kind of mission, and if he can complete it, he can get a free reward.

The Gym Leader of the Unconventional Rock City Gym is Giovanni, and he certainly wouldn't allow challengers to get into trouble in his gym, otherwise the Pokémon League would come after him.

It's estimated that Giovanni is currently focusing all his energy on Mewtwo. Mewtwo's power has made Giovanni a bit arrogant, but he didn't expect Mewtwo to run away.

...!

"Naza, I'm back."

Back at the Pokémon Center, Gary found Sabrina, who was playing with Espeon.

Sabrina doesn't place much importance on training her Pokémon; she basically treats them as pets and is rather casual about training them. She used to frequently consult Gary about training.

At first, Sabrina trained her Pokémon quite diligently, but after evolving Eevee into Espeon, she stopped training them seriously and even neglected her Slowpoke, which was almost an Elite Four member.

Gary was also very curious about Slowpoke, because in reality, Slowpoke needs Shellder to evolve into Slowbro. Shellder needs to bite Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro.
