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

"It seems you know a thing or two about Gibles. You two should get along well," Professor Oak said before going off to write his paper.

Shigeru then brought the Gible to the room.

"Gible, do you want to learn a new skill?" Gary asked, placing Gible on the floor.

"Huh?" Gible looked puzzled. It had only mastered three skills since birth and knew that skills were not easy to awaken, so it didn't understand why Gary would ask such a question.

"Just tell me if you want to learn or not. If you do, I'll teach you," Xiao Mao said.

"Hmm?"

Gible nodded. Of course I'll learn a new skill if I can. It's always good to have more skills. Anyway, I, Gible, am not at a loss.

Gary reached out and placed his hand on Gible's head, teaching it the Shadow Claw skill.

Gible: "Huh!! (ΩДΩ)!!"

Gible was startled and immediately looked up at Gary with a questioning expression.

“This is one of my abilities. Familiarize yourself with Shadow Claw, and I’ll teach you other skills later,” Xiao Mao said.

"Huh!"

Gible nodded frantically and immediately swung its Shadow Claw. The small claw was covered with a layer of dark energy, and it swung with great force, showing that it had already mastered the use of it.

Shigeru watched Gible wield its Shadow Claws with impressive power and felt a sense of satisfaction, like a father seeing his child master a skill.

Xiao Mao has also gone to sleep. He has to rush to Changqing City early tomorrow morning. He has taken the benefits from others, so he naturally has to follow the rules. As for the battle in the development zone, he can just fight it casually. There is no need to rush.

...!

the next morning.

After having breakfast, Xiao Mao rested at home for a while before riding his mountain bike to Changqing City. With the development of the Kanto region, the road from Zhenxin Town to Changqing City had been rebuilt and its length extended, greatly saving time.

Xiao Mao arrived in Changqing City before 10 o'clock. Xiao Mao still remembered how to get to Changqing Dojo. When he arrived at the entrance of the dojo, he saw the newly renovated Changqing Dojo.

Previously, Changqing Taekwondo Hall, built with wooden planks, appeared magnificent and decorated with stone carvings. Now, it is much more normal, with a simple feel that suits Changqing City.

"...The door isn't closed?"

Shigeru walked to the door, looking for the doorbell, but couldn't find it. He discovered that the dojo door was open, and he could faintly hear some sounds coming from inside.

Knowing that I would be living here for the next two months, I went straight in and followed the direction from which the sound was coming.

(Deno's)

"Hypnosis!"

As soon as he stepped out of the passage, Gary heard commands and saw people battling inside the gym. The people battling were Agatha and Ash, and their Pokémon were Gengar and Pikachu.

At this moment, Gengar's eyes emitted a powerful hypnotic aura, and Pikachu was instantly hypnotized on the spot, unable to resist at all.

"Next, use Dream Eater!" Kikuko launched her final attack.

"Geng Ga!"

A transparent phantom, identical to Gengar, floated above his body, and the phantom passed through Pikachu's body.

"Pickup!!"

Deprived of a large amount of energy, Pikachu let out a wail and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

A fat middle-aged man standing in the referee's area immediately announced, "Pikachu is unable to battle, Gengar wins, so the winner is Orange."

"Is Pikachu alright?" Ash immediately ran over, picked up Pikachu, and checked its injuries.

467: Viridian Gym, an unexpected encounter with Ash.

"The battle just now was amazing; I felt my blood boiling without even realizing it," Kikuko said as she walked over.

"Not at all, we are no match for Ms. Kikuko at all," Ash said modestly.

“Of course, Kikuko is one of the Four Heavenly Kings.” The obese Ashida said matter-of-factly.

"Four Heavenly Kings!!".

Ash was shocked, unable to believe that he had just been fighting the Elite Four.

"Ash, you've been a trainer for so many years, don't you even recognize all four members of the Kanto League?" A strange yet familiar voice came from behind.

Ash has already traveled to three regions. He has met the Elite Four of the Kanto region, including Lance, Lorelei, and Bruno. Even if he hasn't met Agatha Christie in person, he should know her.

Kiku, Ash, and Ash immediately looked to the side and saw Gary.

"Shigeru! What are you doing here!" Ash exclaimed.

Gary didn't answer Ash's question. Instead, he walked over and greeted Agatha, saying, "Hello, Ms. Agatha. My name is Gary. I'm here temporarily as a gym leader, commissioned by the Trainers Association."

"Oh, so you're a trainer from the Trainers Association. Do you know Ash?" Akiko asked curiously.

“He and I are both trainers from Pallet Town, and we became trainers around the same time,” Gary said.

"Wait! Ash, you're going to become a Gym Leader!" Ash was taken aback. He never expected Gary to become a Gym Leader. This news was too sudden.

"Yes, is there a problem?" Xiao Mao asked.

"No, it's just that I can't accept that a friend of mine has suddenly become a Gym Leader. The main thing is, if you become a Gym Leader, won't you be unable to participate in the League Conference?" Ash said.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu nodded in agreement.

“What’s unacceptable about it? Many gym leaders are powerful trainers. Besides, I’m only serving temporarily for two months before leaving,” Gary said.

"Then I'm relieved."

Ash breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Gary was only temporarily serving as the gym leader for two months.

"Oh, to be invited by the Trainers Association to be a Gym Leader, you must be a very strong Trainer, Gary," Ashida interjected.

"Who are you?" Xiao Mao asked knowingly.

"Hello, my name is Ashida." Ashida introduced himself, "I am someone who is looking for powerful trainers. Gary, would you be interested in challenging the Battle Frontier?"

Ashida was the founder of the Battle Frontier. Because gym battles were limited to ordinary trainers, they weren't very interesting.

So Ashida created the Battle Frontier, inviting some powerful trainers to serve as Frontier Leaders for trainers to challenge.

Any trainer who can defeat all the Frontier Leaders will be invited by Ashida to become the new Frontier Leader, and a large amount of financial assistance will be provided.

Currently, there are seven leaders in the Kanto region, each of whom is a trainer with strength comparable to the Elite Four, making it a very challenging position.

“Sure, let’s try again in two months,” Xiao Mao said.

"Let's exchange contact information then."

So the two exchanged contact information, and Ashida also told Shigeru that she wanted to challenge the Battle Frontier and should call him in advance.

"Ms. Kikuko, is there anything else you need to tell me?" Shigeru asked.

“You should know the rules for gym leaders, but before you take over, I want to test your strength as a gym leader,” Kikuko said.

Ash and Ash, who were about to leave, suddenly didn't want to go anymore. They wanted to see how Agatha would test Gary's strength.

Shigeru was also speechless. He had already received payment from the Trainers Association, and all this Kikuko wanted was to battle him.

Because gym battles are mainly for new trainers, these trainers have no real strength against Orange (bbcj), and they find each battle boring.

It seems that the battle with Ash just now didn't satisfy Orange.

"How does Ms. Kikuko want to test me?" Shigeru asked.

"How about a one-on-one duel?" Kikuko suggested.

[Ding! Mission issued: Defeat Kikuko to obtain Master Candy x1!]

The system suddenly issued a task... Now we have no choice but to take it.

"no problem."

Xiao Mao reluctantly agreed.

"Haha, then I'll continue to be the referee." Ashida volunteered to be the referee.

Ash is also looking forward to the battle between Gary and Agatha, wanting to see if Gary can now compete with the Elite Four.

...!

After the match was decided, Kikuko and Shigeru both stood in the command area.

“From now on, let’s begin a one-on-one match,” Yashida said.

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

Baton!

【LV72 Blastoise♂/Legendary】

"Blastoise, it's been so long. I wonder how strong Blastoise is now," Ash murmured.

Although Ash has never battled Gary's Blastoise, he knows very well that Blastoise is extremely powerful, and Ash has never seen Blastoise fight since the Kanto Conference.

"Kami!"

Blastoise perked up immediately when it saw the oranges on the command area.

Back in Silver Town, Blastoise had experienced Lance's strength firsthand, and afterwards he did some intensive research to learn who the Kanto Elite Four were.

Seeing that the trainer in the command area was Orange, and knowing that the opponent was no less skilled than Lance, his fighting spirit was immediately ignited.

"Such a strong fighting spirit, this is truly a fine Blastoise," Orange commented, taking a Poké Ball from her pocket and throwing it out.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Gengar!"

Baton!

【LV70 Gengar♂/Champion】

"Geng Ga!"

A Gengar with a ferocious expression makes its appearance.

"Gengar! Is it the same one from before?" Ash asked in surprise.

“Pikachu!” Pikachu immediately shook its head, indicating that it was not a Gengar, but another one.
