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

Banjira staggered backward, crashing through several more trees before finally stopping.

"After hatching, approach Tyranitar with the high-speed water cannon," Gary commanded.

Blastoise glowed red, retracted into its shell, and spun at high speed, unleashing two water jets from its cannon as it charged toward Tyranitar.

Tyranitar endured the pain and used Rock Slash, but this time, Blastoise's speed increased significantly. The stone blade that burst out of the ground missed Blastoise, and Blastoise rushed in front of Tyranitar. The high-pressure water cannon hit Tyranitar, causing it to stagger back several meters until it crashed into the mountain wall and stopped.

Tyranitar still didn't fall down, and when it saw Blastoise approaching, it opened its mouth to bite Blastoise.

"Explosive Fist!" Shigeru commanded.

Blastoise's fist, gleaming with white light, punched Tyranitar in the head.

Boom! ! !

Tyranitar was hit by the Burst Punch, and its massive body fell to one side, its eyes finally closing.

Fighting-type moves can deal four times the damage to Tyranitar, and Burst Punch is the final blow that Gary prepared for Tyranitar.

"Kami..."

Blastoise looked at the fallen Tyranitar and sat down on the ground, exhausted. This was the first time Blastoise had experienced such an intense battle.

"Good job, you did a great job." Gary praised Blastoise, then took out a Poké Ball and threw it at Tyranitar.

bump!

The Poké Ball hit Tyranitar, capturing it. After shaking it slightly three times, the Poké Ball stopped shaking, indicating a successful capture.

Gary picked up the Poké Ball and checked Tyranitar's stats.

【Pokémon: Tyranitar♂】

[Attribute: rock, evil]

【Level: 60】

[Potential: Champion]

【Characteristic: Sandstorm (will turn the surrounding weather into a sandstorm)】

[Skills: Tackle, Gaze, Rockfall, Dig, Tit for Tat, Terrifying Face, Rockslide, Stomp, Knock Down, Crunch, Earthquake, Rockslide, Rock Slash, Iron Wall, Dark Pulse, Sandstorm, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact.]

【Intimacy Level: 110 (Maximum 255)】

"As expected of a quasi-god, he has awakened so many skills," Xiao Shi commented with satisfaction.

This Tyranitar has awakened a total of 17 moves. It has awakened almost all of the powerful moves in Tyranitar's racial moves. The only regret is that Fire Fang, Ice Fang, and Thunder Fang are not awakened.

Furthermore, Tyranitar's affinity with Gary is quite high, mainly because he defeated Tyranitar in a fair and square manner; otherwise, the affinity wouldn't be so high.

Tyranitar is a Pokémon that enjoys challenging strong opponents and adheres to the rule of "winner takes all"—if it loses, it has to cede territory.

"Blastoise, you should come back and rest too." Gary recalled Blastoise, then climbed onto the back of Aerodactyl and sped back to the Indigo Plateau.

...!

"Gary, have you caught Tyranitar yet?" Back in Indigo Plateau, Sabrina asked Gary about his progress.

"I was lucky. I found Tyranitar quickly over there and caught it. It's currently being treated at the Pokémon Center," said Gary.

"You met him so quickly!" Sabrina exclaimed in surprise. She had only asked casually, but she hadn't expected that Gary would actually be tamed. That was incredibly fast.

“Tyranitar is a very powerful Pokémon, and it has virtually no rivals in the wild. Once you know where Tyranitar is, it’s easy to find,” said Gary.

Look at those illegal Pokémon hunters, almost every one of them has a Tyranitar. It's not that Tyranitar is common, but rather that it's easy to find.

Once it's confirmed that the surrounding terrain has been damaged, it's almost certain that Tyranitar was responsible. So, as long as Tyranitar isn't injured, a little provocation will lure it out.

“Tyranitar isn’t very strong, so you must have put in a lot of effort, right?” Sabrina said.

"Yes, it was indeed difficult to deal with, but that Tyranitar was wild and lacked combat experience. It suffered a lot of losses in its battle against my Blastoise and ultimately lost," said Gary.

"I can't believe you beat Tyranitar without even using Zapdos. Your Blastoise has gotten even stronger!" Sabrina exclaimed.

Sabrina watched Wartortle grow into Blastoise, and she never imagined that in just a few months, Blastoise could defeat a pseudo-legendary Pokémon on its own. Although it relied on its type advantage, it was still very impressive to be able to reach such a level in such a short time.

"It's alright. I'll show you Tyranitar later, and see if your psychic powers work on it," said Gary.

Sabrina has never used her psychic powers against Dark-type Pokémon before, and she's eager to see if her psychic powers can be used against Dark-type Pokémon.

After lunch.

After Gary's three Pokémon were healed and he received his Poké Balls from Nurse Joy, Gary and Sabrina went to the common area.

"Bangjira, come out."

Xiao Mao opened the Poké Ball in his hand and released Tyranitar.

"Roar."

Tyranitar emerged from its Poké Ball, striking a defiant pose. It glanced at Gary once, then ignored him completely.

Sabrina was slightly surprised by Tyranitar's enormous size. Although Tyranitar was not very tall, it was very strong and full of explosive wildness.

Sabrina also tried to use her psychic powers to bind Tyranitar, but found that her psychic powers lost their effect instantly when they landed on Tyranitar, as if Tyranitar wasn't there at all.

“It’s really useless,” Nazi exclaimed.

“That’s natural. Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic-type Pokémon. Unless you use Miracle Eye, Psychic powers have no effect on Dark-type Pokémon,” said Gary.

"Tyranitar! Scream!"

Suddenly, a voice came, and a man dressed in black with a red cloak underneath came over.

"You are... A-Du!"

Xiao Mao recognized the other person's identity.

139: Adu, the Four Heavenly Kings

"Hello, it seems you know me," Adu said.

The Kanto League headquarters is located on the Indigo Plateau, so it's not surprising that Lance is there. However, Lance is a workaholic. In addition to being one of the Elite Four, he is also the champion of the Johto League and an investigator.

"Is it Wataru, one of the Four Heavenly Kings?" Even Sabrina, a homebody who rarely goes out, knows Wataru.

“That’s right, I am A-Du. Are you training here in Banjira?” A-Du asked.

"No, I just let Tyranitar out, since I just caught it not long ago," Gary said.

"Oh, was it caught in Mt. Silver?" As someone who knew the Indigo Plateau, I naturally knew that Mt. Silver was home to Tyranitar, and only Tyranitar from that area could be caught.

"We encountered it in the Silver Mine Wild Area, and there were no violations of the Pokémon Protection Law," Gary explained in detail to avoid any misunderstanding from Lance.

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to interrogate you. I'm just planning to catch Tyranitar recently, so when I saw your Tyranitar, I came to take a look," A-Du explained.

Xiaomao:? ? ?

Naza: ? ? ?

“Mr. Adu, aren’t you the Dragon King?” Xiao Mao asked.

A-Du knew what Xiao-Shiao meant and explained, "Although I like Dragon 603 type Pokémon, I will also train Pokémon that are similar to Dragon."

"Does Tyranitar resemble a dragon?" Sabrina pointed at Tyranitar, who looked nothing like a dragon.

“Do you think Tyranitar looks a lot like a lizard?” Adu said.

Gary and Sabrina looked Tyranitar up and down. Although it was quite large, it did have lizard-like features.

“Judging from ancient fossils, ancient dragons were similar to lizards, so Tyranitar must have been related to dragons in ancient times, and may even have dragon blood in its body,” Adu judged.

Xiao Mao broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Tyranitar looks like a lizard, its egg group is a monster group and has little to do with dragons. Although Tyranitar can learn some dragon-type moves, the connection is not significant.

However, in the special episode, Lance did catch a Tyranitar, and Lance's team of Pokémon is not all Dragon-type. He also has a red Gyarados, which he used in the Master Tournament and in almost every battle.

But now that Gary is here, he's included the red Gyarados in the system's capture mission.

If Lance can use that red Gyarados in the Masters Tournament, it means that the red Gyarados has the potential to be no less than the champion's, so Gary can only be impressed by Lance.

"Is that so?" Xiao Mao didn't contradict him. Since A-Du thought so, let him think so.

"By the way, young man, what's your name?" A-Du suddenly asked.

"My name is Xiao Mao, and I'm here to attend the Quartz Conference," Xiao Mao said.

Upon hearing that Gary was there to participate in the Indigo League, Lance looked at Tyranitar again and said, "As long as you don't encounter a Water Terrain, your Tyranitar should be able to help you reach the finals."

The Quartz Tournament has venue restrictions. For the first four rounds, players will randomly choose one of four venues: water, grass, ice, or rock to fight on.

The randomization of the battleground takes place after the players enter the arena. Therefore, the three Pokémon that a trainer prepares cannot all be of the same type. Otherwise, if a player prepares three Rock or Ground-type Pokémon and is randomly assigned to a Water-type battleground, they can simply surrender.

Therefore, in the first four rounds, players should prepare at least one Water-type Pokémon to avoid being randomly assigned to a Water-type area.

Of course, if a player doesn't have a Water-type Pokémon, it's just bad luck for the player, and they should pray they don't encounter a Water-type terrain.

"Are you so sure, Mr. Awa?" Xiao Mao asked.

According to his memory, the contestants at the Quartz tournament weren't particularly strong; at least the contestants before the top 16 weren't worth mentioning. As for the strength of the finalists, Shigeru didn't know either.

However, as long as no extraordinary male character suddenly appears and wins the championship, it shouldn't be a big problem.

“My judgment is sound. As long as there aren’t any particularly strong competitors from the CIBD this year, you could even win the championship,” Adu said.

Such late-blooming Pokémon are rare in the League Tournament. But when they do appear, they are guaranteed to make it into the All-Star Battle and will most likely reach the finals.

"Mr. A-Du, would you like to have a match with me?" Xiao-Shigeru asked.

As soon as these words came out.

A-Du was stunned for a moment, and even Na-Zi was very surprised.

Even though Sabrina has never fought the Elite Four, she knows that the Elite Four's strength far surpasses that of ordinary trainers; they are figures who stand at the pinnacle of all trainers.

With Shigeru's current strength, he has no chance against the Four Heavenly Kings, especially since Wataru is not just one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he has the strength of a champion.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?" This was the first time A-Du had been challenged by a young boy. Xiao-Mao was too young, at most 11 years old.

“Yes, is that alright?” Xiao Mao nodded firmly.

"Alright, how do you want to fight?" A-Du asked.
