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

551: Great Wetland, Yuanye City

In the game, the meteorite crater in Veil City has a purpose: after capturing Deoxys, bringing it there will cause Deoxys to change its form due to the energy within the meteorite.

But this is only its role in the game. In reality, Deoxys can change its form at will and does not need to rely on the power of the meteor.

In the anime, the meteorite in the crater reacts with the Gun Key, so Team Galactic tries to steal the meteorite, but Ash and Lee stop them. The subsequent story doesn't provide any further information about the meteorite.

But one thing is certain: this meteorite contains some kind of energy, an energy that must exist only in the universe and may even be related to Arceus.

Xiao Shi was not very interested in Arceus, but he was very interested in Deoxys. Deoxys was very strong; although it only had a base stat of 600, it could change its form at will.

Xiao Mao looked at the meteorite in the crater, hoping to use the Insight Eye given to him by the system to see if he could discover anything.

Deoxys is a Pokémon with an infinite lifespan. As long as its core is not destroyed, it will not die. As long as its energy is infinite, it can even destroy Rayquaza.

Unfortunately, Xiao Mao went over and carefully examined each meteorite, but found nothing.

"I really want to split these meteorites open and see what they're like."

Shigeru had a strong intuition that there was something inside the meteorites, but these meteorites were the property of Veil City, and each meteorite crater was surrounded by ropes, allowing visitors only to tour them and not to touch them.

Considering his current status, Xiao Mao knew that if he were to split these meteorites, he would definitely be arrested by the police.

However, Shigeru came up with a plan. Team Galactic would be dealing with the meteorite here later. He could use the excuse of driving Team Galactic away to have his Pokémon split the meteorite in half. He could just apologize later.

As for compensation, that was caused by Team Galaxy, so if you want compensation, go to Team Galaxy.

After figuring it out, Gary released Garchomp and rode it to Nomad City. Before Ash traveled to Veilstone City, he wanted to collect all the Gym Badges in the Tohoku region.

"Crack!"

Garchomp flew south at high speed, and when it passed Lake Ritsuki, Gary observed it from the sky for a while.

The shore of Lake Lizhi is just a lake, which looks to be only a few dozen acres in size. There are no small islands in the center of the lake, so it can be confirmed that Arknom is not in the lake, but is hiding in the subspace.

Shigeru knew that Arknom wouldn't show itself unless someone was chosen, so after observing for a while, he left.

After passing over the vast wetlands, Shigeru arrived at Haruno City.

What started as a small town, formed naturally to protect the vast wetlands in the area, gradually developed into a city.

Furthermore, the Great Wetlands are also the hunting grounds of the Sinnoh region. For just 500 coins, you can get 30 Safari Balls and enter them to catch Pokémon.

However, there aren't many good Pokémon in the Great Wetlands. Most of them are Grass, Bug, and Water types, so there aren't many rare Pokémon. The rarer ones are only Drapion and Kangaskhan; the rest are not very good.

After having lunch at the Pokémon Center in Nohara City and resting for a while, Gary headed to the Nohara Gym.

Nohara Dojo is essentially a swimming pool. It doesn't host competitions on Saturdays and Sundays, but it's open to people from the city for swimming.

"Thankfully, it's not the weekend today."

Shigeru looked at the notice board. Today was Friday, and it was also the gym's open day. If he was a day late, he would have to wait until next Monday to challenge the gym.

Xiao Mao walked to the entrance of the dojo. The entrance was open, and Xiao Mao went straight in. There was a girl dressed in a revealing swimsuit at the counter, which made people stare.

"Hello beautiful, I'm here to challenge the dojo." Xiao Shigeru stated his purpose for being there.

"Oh, so you're challenging the gym leader. Come with me." The beautiful woman got up and led Shigeru to the arena inside the gym.

Xiao Mao followed behind the beautiful woman, not knowing where to look, so he could only pretend not to see her. He only breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at the venue.

Then the beautiful woman went to call the owner over.

Watching the beautiful figure disappear down the corridor, Xiao Mao couldn't help but think of Sabrina. Counting the time, Sabrina was already sixteen or seventeen years old. According to the laws of this world, 16 years old is considered an adult, so she could... hehehehe.

Gary was thinking that after the Lily of the Valley Conference, he would go to the Unova region to find Sabrina. If possible, he would also like to take Sabrina down with him. As a successful trainer, he needed a woman behind him.

"Who dares to challenge me, sir?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a bare upper body came out.

The middle-aged man was Yoshinobu, the Nohara Dojo trainer.

Besides being a trainer, Yoshino is also a professional wrestler. In the wrestling world, he is also known as Rolling Torrent Masked Man.

Yoshinobu has also participated in the World Championships. He is actually a trainer with considerable strength. Serving as the Gym Leader of Nohara City is a waste of his talents. Yoshinobu's true strength should be enough to enter the top 100 of the World Championships.

“Hello, my name is Shigeru, I come from the Kanto region, and I’m here to challenge your gym.” Shigeru said.

“Oh! The Kanto region, so it seems you’ve been a trainer for quite some time now,” Yoshino said.

“Yes, I’ve been a trainer for over three years now,” Gary said.

"I understand, let's start the gym battle then." Yoshino couldn't wait to battle either.

Soon, the referee from the dojo arrived, stood in the command area, and announced, "The dojo match of Nohara Dojo will now begin."

"Blue team... Challenger is (Qian Zhao) Xiao Shigeru from the Kanto region."

"The red team... is Yoshinobu Yoshinobu, the Nohara Gym Leader."

"The number of Pokémon used in this competition is 3. The competition ends when all of a player's Pokémon are unable to battle. In addition, only the challenger has the right to replace their Pokémon."

[Ding! Mission issued: 1. Nohara obtains a Gym Badge / Rewards: 6 Intermediate Rare Candies, a permanent Water Pledge TM, and 1 Superior Mysterious Water Drop!]

[2. Obtain the Rustboro Gym Badge using Sinnoh region Pokémon / Rewards: 6 Medium Rare Candies, a permanent Water-type TM of your choice, and 1 random Pokémon item.]

Looking at the tasks issued by the system, and judging from the number of intermediate-level magical candies as a reward, the three Pokémon sent out online should not exceed the level of a gym.

It seems Yoshinobu doesn't intend to go all out and will stick to the rules of dojo matches.

552: Shigeru vs. Yoshino

"Let me show you my Pokémon. Go, Gyarados!" Yoshino sent out his Pokémon first.

Baton!

The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, and a ball of white light fell into the water. Immediately afterwards, a huge head emerged from the water, staring at Gary with a ferocious expression.

【LV41 Gyarados♂/Gym】

The Pokémon that Ji Xian sent out were all of a pretty high level, all above level 40, so it seems he has more than one Gyarados.

"Since it's a Water-type Gym, Electivire is yours." Gary casually tossed out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

【LV63 Electabuzz♂/Champion】

Xiao Shi doesn't have a suitable Pokémon yet, so he should hurry up and gather all the Sinnoh region's guild leaders first. Later, when he has time, he'll go and defeat all the Sinnoh region's pioneer leaders.

Yoshino also realized that Shigeru was a normal challenger, which was really boring.

"Electrify, it seems you were prepared. Gyarados, use Waterfall!" Yoshino commanded.

"Roar!!"

Gyarados, its entire body enveloped in a layer of water, charged across the surface, splashing out two streams of water as it rapidly approached Electivire.

"Thunder!" Xiao Mao had no time for playing around and immediately unleashed his killing move.

Wow!

Golden arcs of electricity shot from Electivire's tentacles, and its body was instantly covered in lightning. It unleashed 287 bolts of lightning, which struck Gyarados. The violent lightning tore apart the water curtain on Gyarados's body and hit Gyarados's main body.

"Roar!!"

Gyarados immediately stopped charging, howling in pain. Its entire body was ravaged by violent lightning, and it collapsed onto the water's surface, half of its body floating on the water, its eyes darting around.

"Gyarados is unable to battle, Electivire wins!" the referee announced.

Yoshino recalled the defeated Gyarados and said, "Don't think you can get away with just having a type advantage. The Pokémon I'm sending out isn't afraid of Electric-type moves. Go, Quagsire!"

Yoshihiro threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

【LV45 Swamp King♂/Gym】

Swamp King has the Ground attribute and is immune to Electric-type moves.

Although it is immune to electric-type moves, Electivire is not limited to a single electric-type move.

"Electrify the monster, use Swift!" Gary commanded.

Golden stars appeared on the thick arms of the Electrified Beast, which automatically charged towards the Swamp King.

The high-speed star automatically locks onto the target, so even if the Swampert is hiding in the water, it cannot escape.

"Swamp King, use mud bombs!" Yoshinobu chose to meet the attack head-on.

Swamp King's head popped out of the water, and it opened its mouth to spew out a mud bomb in retaliation. The velociraptors were like shurikens, shattering the mud bomb. The remaining velociraptors passed through the smoke and landed on Swamp King, but they did not kill it instantly.

Against Gym-level Pokémon, it's difficult to KO them without a super-effective move. However, Swift also deals significant damage to Quagsire.

"Swamp King, use the Freeze Beam!" Yoshino ordered.

Swamp King leaped out of his water cannon and spewed out an extremely cold beam of ice.

"Destruction Ray," Shigeru commanded.

The electric monster condensed an orange energy between its palms, and then the condensed energy ball transformed into a beam of light and shot out.

The freezing beam collided with the destructive death ray.

Snapped! !

The freezing beam was instantly destroyed by the destructive death ray.

Boom! ! !

A plume of black smoke rose.

"This Gary is too overpowered." Yoshino was certain that Quagsire had lost, but he also felt that Gary's Pokémon was too overpowered. Gym-level Pokémon were no match for that Electivire.

As the smoke cleared, the Swamp King was seen floating motionless on the water, its back to the sky, while its eyes, hidden in the water, were already circling around.

"Swamp King is unable to fight, Electabuzz wins."

Yoshinobu retrieved the Swamp King and then sent out a third spirit.

"The Floating Weasel is yours." Yoshinobu dispatched the Floating Weasel.

Baton!

【LV49 Snorkeling Weasel♂/Gym】
