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

Page 364

"This is my ability, isn't it amazing?" Xiao Mao laughed.

"Gurgle."

The Money-Seeking Spirit did not respond to Xiao Mao's question, but instead pointed to the gold coins in its hand, meaning it wanted money.

Compared to learning new skills, the Money-Grubber is more interested in gold coins.

"You miser, do you think I owe you anything?" Xiao Mao was furious. He took out the Money-Grubber's coin pouch from his spatial backpack and threw it directly at the Money-Grubber.

When the money-seeking spirit saw the money bag, its brain went blank. It let the money bag hit it, then happily ran to the top of the money bag, tore open the rope, and jumped into the money bag.

Immediately... a blinding white light shot out from the mouth of the money bag, and the money bag deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the body of the Money-Gathering Spirit gradually grew taller. Although its height did not exceed that of Xiao Mao, its size was at least 10 times larger than that of the Money-Gathering Spirit.

As the light of evolution faded, a tycoon made entirely of gold coins appeared.

Despite his glittering gold exterior, Sai Fuhao's body is actually composed of 1000 gold coins. The coins are so densely packed that they appear as a single unit, but when attacked, the affected parts scatter into gold coins to absorb the impact and thus withstand the damage. He can also launch gold coins from various parts of his body as bullets to attack.

"good."

Xiao Mao looked at Sai Fuhao and checked Sai Fuhao's data again.

[Elf: Saifu]

[Attributes: Ghost, Steel]

【Level: 30】

[Potential: Champion]

[Ability: Golden Body (A Pokémon with this ability is immune to status moves that target other Pokémon with this ability.)]

[Skills: Fright, Impact, Nightshade, Substitute, Shadow Ball.]

[Teach skills: Reflect, Sleep, Protect.]

2.9 [Intimacy: 255 (Maximum 255)]

【Item Required: Soothing Bell】

After evolving, Saifuhao's characteristic became Golden Body, and it awakened three new skills: two attack skills and one transformation skill, all of which are quite good.

Xiao Shigeru also taught Sai Fuhao the skills, and evolving into Sai Fuhao would allow him to learn even more skills.

After a series of instruction, Sai Fuhao only mastered 3 skills. It has to be said that Sai Fuhao's skill pool is not very wide. However, Sai Fuhao's exclusive skill, Gold Rush, is still very strong.

Unfortunately, Sai Fuhao's current level is too low to awaken.

"I wonder what the effects will be after the Golden Body is strengthened," Xiao Mao asked curiously.

Cypher's Golden Body is similar to Metagross's Cleanse, but Cypher's Golden Body is stronger, even granting immunity to the effects of its attacks.

"Should we upgrade it?"

Xiao Mao hesitated about whether to enhance Safer's characteristics.

Since the system started awarding Ability Enhancement Stones, Ability Enhancement is obviously limited to Pokémon with three abilities to maximize its effectiveness.

However, Cypher only has the Golden Body ability and no second or hidden abilities, so it would be a waste to focus solely on enhancing Cypher's Golden Body ability.

"Never mind, let's try to strengthen it. If all else fails, we can just challenge the Sinnoh Frontier later."

Shigeru used one of his ability enhancement stones to enhance Sai Fuhao's ability.

[Ding! Enhancement successful.]

Xiao Mao immediately checked Sai Fuhao's characteristics.

[Elf: Saifu]

[Attributes: Ghost, Steel]

【Level: 30】

[Potential: Champion]

[Ability: EX Golden Body (A Pokémon with this ability is immune to status moves targeted by other Pokémon with this ability and will reflect them back)]

[Skills: Fright, Impact, Nightshade, Switch, Shadow Ball.]

[Teaching skills: Reflect, Rest, Protect, Thunderbolt, Hyper Beam, Psychic.]

【Item Required: Soothing Bell】

"Wow, it has an added magic mirror effect, awesome!" Xiao Mao exclaimed in surprise.

This EX Golden Body is really strong! Not only does it ignore negative effects, but it can also reflect them. That's amazing. This one feature alone is stronger than three features combined.

"come in."

Having acquired Sai Fuhao, Xiao Mao decided to move on to his next target.

Shigeru's next target Pokémon to catch is Whale.

Whale is an Ice-type Pokémon that lives in cold places. When Gary came, he did some research and knew that Whale lives in the northern region, and that Whale and Great Whale live near Frostmourne.

Furthermore, Shigeru also wanted to take the opportunity to challenge the gyms in the Padilla region and see what kind of missions the system would issue.

In the Padiya region, all the snowboard gyms are located in small towns, not in cities. There is one such gym on Frostbite Mountain, called Frostbite Mountain Gym, and its owner is a man named Gurusha, who was once a professional snowboarder.

The Mt. Frost Gym is the strongest of the eight gyms in the Padilla region, and all the Pokémon used there are Ice-type.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Gary contacted Professor Oak's lab to send Garchomp back to Professor Oak's lab and then sent Kenny to send Articuno over.

Because the climate in Frosty Mountain is cold, Garchomp is 4x weak to ice, so it's not suitable to bring Garchomp there. Articuno, on the other hand, is very suitable. Moreover, Articuno can control the cold air, so you won't feel cold when riding Articuno.

After resting overnight at the Pokémon Center in Tabletop City, Gary left Tabletop City early the next morning after breakfast, riding Articuno.

Articuno's flight speed is not as fast as Garchomp's, but it's not slow either. It only took 3 hours to reach Frostbite Mt. and land in Frostbite Village.

There are dojos on Frostmog Mountain, so there are people living nearby, but it's just a village with a small population.

Wow! Articuno!

Xiao Mao landed outside the village and was just about to retrieve Articuno when he saw a child standing only ten meters away from him.

It was a little girl with blue hair. When the little girl saw Articuno, her eyes lit up.

"Come back." Shigeru ignored the little girl and went about his business, retrieving Articuno.

Seeing the Articuno retrieved, the little girl snapped out of her daze, quickly walked up to Xiao Mao, and boldly greeted him, "Hello, my name is Gu Ling, and I'm a local from Frostbite Village."

Seeing the lively and cheerful Gu Ling, Xiao Mao couldn't ignore her, so he introduced himself: "My name is Xiao Mao."

"Xiao Mao," Gu Ling murmured Xiao Mao's name, then asked, "Where are you from?"

Due to its climate, Shuangmo Mountain is rarely visited. It is usually only frequented by snow sports enthusiasts, and people only come for travel during holidays. No one usually goes to Shuangmo Mountain.

“I’m from the Kanto region,” said Shigeru.

"People from other regions!!"

Gu Ling looked shocked and pale.

Xiao Mao was also surprised by Gu Ling's expression. It seemed that the Padiya region was not so backward, and its level of modern social development was no less than that of other regions.

"what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I rarely see people from other regions come here. This is the first time I've encountered someone like this," Gu Ling explained. "By the way, Brother Xiao Mao, if you need anything, you can tell me. I'm very familiar with Frostmog Mountain."

Xiao Mao sized up Gu Ling. Although she was a child, as a local, she could still provide Xiao Mao with a lot of information.

"Really? Can you tell me where there are whales near Frostmog Mountain?" Xiao Mao asked.

“Whale! I know, is Brother Xiao Mao planning to tame the Whale?” Gu Ling asked.

“Yes, I plan to catch a Whale.” Gary didn’t deny it. It’s normal for trainers to catch Pokémon, and Whale isn’t a protected species in the Padilla region, so it’s allowed to catch one.

“Whalewalker is a very strong elf, I’ll take you to find it,” Gu Ling said enthusiastically.

Although Gu Ling was very enthusiastic, Xiao Mao felt like a human trafficker. The key was that he didn't actively kidnap the child; 287 was the child who came to him on his own.

"You don't need to take me there, just tell me the location," Xiao Mao said.

"No need, I'm going up the mountain this afternoon, it's just on my way," Gu Ling said.

“No, the mountain is full of wild spirits. Will your family feel at ease if you go up the mountain alone?” Xiao Mao asked.

Even in this world, where 10-year-olds can travel, Gu Ling looks only six or seven years old. There are quite a few wild elves on Frostmog Mountain, and the Ice Ghost Guardian and the Tundra Bear are carnivorous elves.

"It's okay, I have Snow Swallower." Gu Ling took out a Poké Ball, opened it, and released an adorable Pokémon that was all white. The Pokémon's appearance didn't look like anything in particular, but it looked a lot like the juvenile form of a reptile Pokémon.

【LV15 Snowbug♀/Dojo】

The Pokémon that Guling released was Snowbeard, whose base stats were even lower than Caterpie. However, Snowbeard had some pretty strong moves, and although it only had two moves, they were both very useful.

Furthermore, Snowflake's strength is still quite formidable after evolving into Snowflake Moth, especially its exclusive ability, Ice Scale Powder.

Xiao Shi was certain that Gu Ling's family background was extraordinary; being able to raise a Pokémon with gym potential as a pet was not something an ordinary family could do.

536: Vast Whales and Whale Walkers

“Although you have a Pokémon, your Snowgut is too weak and can’t form any real fighting power for the time being. If you encounter a stronger wild Pokémon, you won’t be able to deal with it,” said Gary.

Snowbug's combat strength is only slightly stronger than Caterpie. If it were active in a beginner's area, Snowbug would still have some combat strength, but the wild Pokémon around Frostmourne Mountain are all of high level. The harsher the environment, the more it can stimulate the potential of a creature.

It's fair to say that new trainers born in Frostbite Village are facing an extremely difficult challenge from the start. The Pokémon at the entrance are all level 20 or 30, how are they supposed to compete?

“No, my Snow Devouring Worm is very strong,” Gu Ling retorted.

Judging from Guling's attitude, he probably wants to become a trainer in the future.

“Then I can’t go out with you,” Xiao Mao said.

"Why?"

"Because you're still a child, you need your parents' permission to go into the wild," Xiao Mao said.

“My parents will agree. I often go to Frostmog Mountain,” Gu Ling said.
