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

Page 249

Sending out Breloom was a last resort, since Gary hadn't caught a single Water-type Pokémon yet.

Gary tried his best, often fishing, but he couldn't catch a satisfactory Water-type Pokémon. The main problem was that the Water-type Pokémon in the Hoenn region weren't good enough. There were only two Water-type Pokémon that satisfied Gary: Milotic and Swampert. Gary didn't want to raise any other Water-type Pokémon.

"You actually sent out a Grass-type Pokémon? Let me see your strength! Growlithe, use Flamethrower!" Mura launched an attack.

Growlithe breathes fire at Breatha.

"Hylocereus mushroom, dig a hole!" Xiao Mao commanded.

Boom! !

The hooded mushroom immediately burrowed underground.

When Asha saw this, her eyebrows twitched. The venue that she had finally managed to repair would have to be renovated again soon.

"Growlithe uses scent detection to locate Breloom, dodges the opponent's attack, and uses Fire Fang," Mura calmly commanded.

Mura, as expected of the Fire-type Elite Four member, fought according to Growlithe's own characteristics.

Growlithe's nose twitched, and the King of Dogs' breath instantly locked onto Breatha's location.

Breloom had already reached beneath Growlithe, bursting forth from the ground with a thick layer of earth energy covering its fists. However, just as Breloom broke through the ground in preparation for its attack...

Growlithe anticipated Breloom's attack route, first creating distance before pouncing forward, its mouth blazing with flames, its Flame Fangs piercing through the Earth Force on Breloom's fist.

"Dou li!"

Breloom howled in pain as its wrist was pinned down by flames (Dedeholy). The intense heat instantly charred Breloom's wrist, but the area bitten by Growlithe burst forth with a large number of spores.

Because they were so close, a large number of spores poured into Growlithe's mouth. Growlithe immediately let go, and then felt its mouth go numb. Its body quickly stiffened and it fell into a state of paralysis.

Seeing that Growlithe had suddenly given in, Mura assumed it was Growlithe's own decision and continued to command, "Don't give Breathbringer a chance to breathe, use Flamethrower!"

Xiao Mao immediately commanded, "Sonic Fist!"

Whoosh! !

Breloom rushed to Arcanine and punched it in the forehead, knocking it back several meters.

Arcanine reacted and breathed fire at Breatha.

"Dig a hole!"

Xiao Mao dared not let Arcanine take the flames head-on.

The hyacinth mushroom burrowed underground to avoid the flames.

“Use scent detection,” Mura said.

373: Mushroom vs. Mighty Chicken

"Wang..."

The Growlithe was embarrassed because it was paralyzed, and its sense of smell also instantly failed, making it unable to distinguish the scents.

"Growlithe, what's wrong?" Mura also noticed that something was wrong with Growlithe, but she didn't know what was wrong with it either.

The Growlithe was also in a lot of pain because it was paralyzed from inhaling the spores, and its sense of smell was impaired, so it didn't know how to express it.

"Growlithe engulfs itself in flames." Although Mura didn't know what was wrong with Growlithe, she knew that dealing with the current crisis was the most important thing.

Boom! !

The ground beneath Growlithe shattered, and Breloom crashed into the flame-encased Growlithe, sending it flying, but also burning itself in the flames.

Although Growlithe is paralyzed, it is unaffected by the flames covering its body.

"Growlithe, use Fire Wheel!" Mura commanded.

Growlithe, engulfed in flames, ran toward Breloom, but its movement was not fast.

"So it's been paralyzed." Seeing that Growlithe's speed had slowed down, Mura realized that Growlithe had been paralyzed.

"Attack with sharp stones!" Shigeru commanded.

"113 dou!"

Breloom lashed its tail at the ground, triggering the underground rock energy, and sharp stone blades burst forth from the earth, extending towards Growlithe.

Growlithe showed no intention of dodging, charging straight into the stone blade, shattering one of the blades. A stone blade then launched a surprise attack from below, sending Growlithe flying.

This move is extremely effective!

"It can use Stone Edge!" Asha was shocked. Stone Edge was a powerful Rock-type move.

Breloom is a Grass-type Pokémon, so it's surprising that it can use Stone Attack.

"Final blow, Rock Slide!" Shigeru gave them no chance.

Breloom plunged its paws into the ground, pulled out a large rock, and hurled it fiercely at Growlithe. The rock shattered upon reaching Growlithe, turning into countless falling fragments.

"Ouch~!"

The Growlithe let out a mournful cry, which was swallowed by the rocks.

When the dust settled, Growlithe's originally red fur was dyed a muddy color, turning it into a little mongrel with its eyes darting around.

"Growlithe is unable to battle, Breloom wins!" Asha proclaimed, mimicking the rhetoric.

"It even knows Rock-type moves." Mura looked at Breloom, then took out a Poké Ball and recalled Growlithe.

"Little Gorilla, it seems you're quite skilled at raising Pokémon," Mura praised.

"I liked it instantly, not bad, right?" Xiao Mao's expression was calm, but he was somewhat embarrassed inside.

It is very difficult for a Pokémon to learn skills of other attributes, especially if the Pokémon is young, as it will take even longer to learn new skills.

Xiao Mao's Hatomono was cultivated from Mushroom, and only three months have passed in total. Not only has its level been raised to Elite, but its skill pool has also become so extensive.

Mura is one of the Elite Four. Although she is old, she still has a keen eye and can tell at a glance that Breloom is no ordinary Breloom. Her talent must be very high.

Little did they know that the skills the mushroom had mastered were all taught by Xiao Mao, a first-year construction engineer.

"Is that so? Then let me see how you deal with this Pokémon." Mura said, throwing out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

【LV33 Strong Chicken♂/King】

A strong chicken with light yellow feathers stands upright and makes its appearance.

Mura's Mighty Chicken has great potential; it's even at the Elite Four level.

Xiao Mao even suspected that this strong chicken was something Mura had gotten from the turkey breeding house in Fuyan Town.

"What kind of Pokémon is this?" May also took out her Pokédex and scanned the Maruta.

Pokédex entry: "Combusken, a chick-like Pokémon, the evolved form of Torchic, possesses a pair of legs that combine speed and power, capable of kicking ten times in a single second..."

"Oh! It's the evolved form of Torchic!" May exclaimed in surprise, not expecting the cute Torchic to become so robust after evolving.

May is a Coordinator, and Blaziken is considered handsome, but it's not exactly flashy. Later on, May simply sent Blaziken to the Gym and stopped using it for the Coordinator Tournament.

Shigeru looked at Mulla's Mighty Chicken. He had originally planned to replace Breloom with it, but since it was a Mighty Chicken, there was no need to replace Breloom.

Since Combusken is a Pokémon that excels at physical attacks, it will definitely be at a disadvantage in close combat.

"Bush-shroom, use Sonic Punch!" Gary commanded.

Whoosh! !

The velvet charged forward and quickly reached the Mighty Chicken. A flash of white light appeared, and the velvet's fist struck at the Mighty Chicken, but was caught by the Mighty Chicken's claws.

Hathorn: (ΩДΩ)...!

The velvet tried to break free from the Mighty Chicken's claws, but it couldn't pull its fists out no matter what it did; the Mighty Chicken's claws were incredibly strong.

"Very good, Mura Chicken, use Flame Vortex." Mura seized the opportunity to attack, and Mura Chicken opened its beak, with flashes of fire.

Seeing this, Xiao Mao immediately ordered, "Use the Explosive Fist with your other hand."

"Dou li!"

With a loud shout, the mushroom-shaped fist, covered in fighting spirit, struck the strong chicken, causing flames to burst from its mouth.

Boom! ! !

The explosive punch landed on the strong chicken, sending it flying.

The hyacinth mushroom was also hit by the flame vortex.

"Strong Chicken, are you alright?" Mura asked worriedly.

"Crunch~!"

The strong chicken's eyes became confused, and its body swayed, indicating that it had fallen into a state of disarray.

"This Breloom has awakened the Burst Fist..." Mura knew that Breloom could awaken the Burst Fist.

The Burst Punch ability is supposed to awaken when Brestork reaches a very high level. Right now, Gary's Brestork is clearly not at the required level, but it has awakened ahead of schedule.

On the field, the flame vortex dissipated, and Breloom did not fall, but it was covered in burns. Combined with the damage that Growlithe had inflicted on Breloom earlier, it was already at its last gasp.

Unfortunately, due to being hit by the Flame Vortex, Breloom cannot be substituted out for the time being.

"Hylocereus undatus mushrooms, use parasitic seeds," Shigeru commanded.

The velvet sprayed several seeds covered in plant energy at the Combust. In the chaos, the Combust failed to dodge and was hit by the parasitic seeds. Instantly, the parasitic seeds began to absorb the Combust's stamina, growing vines. Spheres of plant energy floated out from the vines and flew back into the velvet's body to help restore its stamina.

"Strong, wake up! Use Flamethrower!" Mura shouted, hoping to rouse the Strong.

The parasitic seed has no real power; it only drains Combustion's energy little by little. Combustion remains unsteady, haphazardly kicking at the air.

374: Forest Lizard VS Mighty Chicken

"Use the Breath of the Mushroom to grow, then use the Stone Attack to finish off the Mighty Chicken," Shigeru commanded.

"Dou li!"

Breloom spreads out its body and begins to absorb sunlight to increase its physical and special attack stats.

Mura could only watch helplessly, as chaos usually requires attacking the target and the pain to break free.

Although the elves themselves have a chance to dispel the confusion, that probability is too low; without the favor of Lady Luck, it is very difficult for such a thing to happen.
