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

"Haha, I've captured Eevee."

Xiao Zhuang revealed an innocent smile.

Next, Xiao Zhuang personally teleported Eevee to Oak's lab.

Professor Oak received the Poké Ball and assured him, "Don't worry, Xiao Zhuang, I'll take good care of Eevee. I'll bring it back to you once Eevee is healed."

"Yes! I believe in Grandpa Da Mu," Xiao Zhuang nodded.

504: Battle Tower

After sending Eevee to Professor Oak's lab, communication was interrupted.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Zhuang's parents arrived at the Little Elf Center.

"Xiaozhuang, are you seriously injured?" Xiaozhuang's mother asked with concern.

"Mom, I'm fine, it's just a sprain, I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Xiao Zhuang said.

"No, Mom will take you to the hospital later." Xiaozhuang's mother was still worried.

"Uncle, let's go outside and talk things over," Xiao Mao said.

After all, Xiao Zhuang is still a minor, and his guardian needs to know what happened today.

"Wife, you take Xiaozhuang to the hospital first, I need to talk to Xiaomao," said Xiaozhuang's father.

"Okay, you two have a good chat."

After Xiaozhuang's mother finished speaking, she took Xiaozhuang and left the Little Elf Center.

Xiao Mao also told Xiao Zhuang's father about what happened tonight at "223".

"What! Team Rocket...!" Xiao Zhuang's father was shocked to hear that Xiao Zhuang had gotten into trouble with Team Rocket. As a native of the Kanto region, he knew very well that Team Rocket was a criminal organization.

“Mr. Fujimoto, you can rest assured. I’ve already sent Ibrahimovic to Professor Oak’s place. Team Rocket shouldn’t make things difficult for you, but you should still be careful. Mr. Fujimoto, you can contact the local police. My grandfather has already spoken to the league leaders on your behalf, and they will protect you,” said Shigeru.

"I see."

Fujimoto nodded. Although he was annoyed at having messed with the Rockets, the Rockets' target was Ibrahimovic. As long as Ibrahimovic wasn't in Xiao Zhuang's hands, the Rockets shouldn't make things difficult for them.

Furthermore, the local police will take care of the family, so it's believed the Rockets won't dare to act rashly.

“Mr. Fujimoto, Xiaozhuang is a good boy. I hope you and Auntie won’t scold him too much,” Xiaoshige said.

Fujimoto couldn't help but chuckle to himself. In his eyes, Shigeru was also a child, only six or seven years older than Shigeru.

"Don't worry, I won't blame Xiaozhuang."

"Then I won't bother you any longer. Mr. Fujimoto, please go and look after Xiaozhuang."

After everything was explained, Xiao Shigeru didn't talk to Fujimoto much more.

Fujimoto also left the Pokémon Center and headed to the hospital...!

Watching Fujimoto leave, Shigeru said, "Ibu, you really hit the jackpot this time!"

Ibu: "Eee? (O_o)??"

Ibrahimovic doesn't understand what he's earning anymore.

"Didn't you see that Eevee can freely evolve and degenerate using the electronic device on its ear? This thing might be able to help you evolve," Shigeru reminded him.

“Buyi”.

Eevee looked worried. Although the electronic device could allow Eevee to evolve, evolution had side effects.

"Don't worry about that. I believe Grandpa and Dr. Chapman can crack the secret of this device and perfect it," Xiao Mao said.

“Buyi”.

Ibu nodded, and could only place his hopes on Professor Oak and Professor Blaine.

"Come on, let's go eat."

I've been busy since the afternoon, and it's already past 8 pm. I haven't had dinner yet, and it's time to eat.

“Buyi”.

Ibu nodded. It was hungry too. It was almost mealtime, but it had been teleported here by Shigeru and had been busy for several hours, so it was hungry as well.

...!

Day two.

Xiao Mao got up and ate breakfast.

At 9 o'clock, Shigeru set off for the Battle Tower on his Charizard.

The Battle Tower is located in the southern suburbs of Celadon City. Once you get close, you'll see the towering Battle Tower, which is easily visible from the sky. Just fly straight towards it with your Charizard.

Land at the entrance below the battle tower.

Xiao Mao arrived at the door, and the door opened automatically.

"Xiao Mao, you're right on time."

Inside the door was the reception area, where Ashida was sitting on a chair. She greeted Shigeru as soon as she saw him.

"Mr. Ashida, you've arrived so early?" Shigeru asked as he walked in.

“Yes, you said you arrived at 9:30, but I arrived a little after 8,” Yashida said.

Xiao Mao was very skeptical of the veracity of Ashida's words.

That old bastard Ashida now hopes that Shigeru will lose a game, and he'll come over in advance to greet the leaders of the pioneers.

"Huh! Ibu?!"

Ashida was about to say something when she suddenly noticed Eevee on Shigeru's shoulder.

"This is my Eevee. I plan to use it in today's battle," Shigeru introduced.

"I see. I'm really looking forward to today's match."

Ash was quite curious. According to common sense, Eevee was clearly not suitable for this level of competition, but seeing Ash's Pikachu, Ash wouldn't judge Eevee by its appearance.

Having witnessed Shigeru's strength firsthand, Ashida felt that Shigeru's Eevee must be something special.

"When will the competition start?" Xiao Mao asked.

As soon as the words were spoken, a purple-haired girl walked out of the passage. The girl had a rather androgynous appearance, but judging from the smoothness of her skin, it was still possible to tell that she was a woman.

The Lila in the animation is too young, only in her teens, while the Lila in the game is a mature and sophisticated woman, especially when she wears the International Police uniform, which is a real treat for uniform enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, Lila is not fully developed yet, and we will have to wait a few more years for her.

Lila saw Shigeru, paused for a moment, then walked over and asked, "Mr. Ashida, is this the challenger you mentioned yesterday?"

“That’s right, he’s the challenger, his name is Shigeru,” Ashida said.

Xiao Mao was speechless. Yashida had just said he arrived at around 8 a.m., but he arrived yesterday. He was really dishonest.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Mao." Xiao Mao introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Lila, the Grand Marshal of the Battle Tower." Lila nodded and introduced herself.

"Can the competition begin now?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Anytime is fine, please come with me."

Lila led Ashida and Shigeru into the Battle Tower.

The Battle Tower is a facility specifically for trainers to battle, and people often come here to challenge each other.

However, the challenge method is different. The rules for opening the Battle Tower to the public are that trainers can enter and take on random challenges, with each round consisting of 7 battles.

You'll receive BP points as a reward for successfully completing the challenge. BP points can be exchanged for spirit items available in the Battle Tower.

The battle between Shigeru and Lila is a Frontier Battle, which has different rules than the challenges inside the Battle Tower.

The group took the elevator to the competition venue on the top floor of the battle tower.

The competition venue was much larger than the public venue, and it was surrounded by spectator stands, but it was completely empty.

Xiao Mao and Lila were already standing in the command area, and a young male referee was also standing in the referee area.

505: Battle against Grand Duchess Lila

Lila stood on the command area, her expression serious, and said, "Shigeru, Mr. Ashida told me yesterday that you are the strongest challenger in the history of the Pioneer Zone, and that I must use all my strength to deal with you."

"I won't hold back in the upcoming match, so I hope you'll give it your all."

The words fell.

Xiao Mao immediately looked towards the audience seats.

Ashida, seemingly oblivious to everything around her, turned her head to the side, pretending to know nothing.

Xiao Mao felt helpless. He had only taken a few pieces of gold from him; was it really necessary to make such a fuss?

However, this is actually quite good. The stronger the elf sent out by the pioneer leader, the richer the rewards for the system missions.

Especially since Lila in front of him is very strong, Xiao Mao even thinks that Lila has a Champion-level Pokémon.

“Miss Lila, you can rest assured. I wouldn’t dare to be careless when facing you. I will definitely defeat you with all my might,” Xiao Shigeru replied.

【叮！发布任务：获得能力象徵/奖励：高级神奇糖果X6、11特性强化石X1、银色王冠X1、自选永久技能学习器X1！】

The system task has been issued.

Xiao Mao noticed that the only reward for the mission was a high-grade magical candy. It seemed that Lila didn't have any champion-level Pokémon, or if she did, she didn't plan to use them.

“Okay, let’s begin.” Lila signaled to the referee that they could make the announcement.

"Next up is the pioneering battle between challenger Gary and the adversary Lyra. Three Pokémon can be used, and only the challenger has the right to substitute Pokémon..."

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Mao suddenly called out.

"Huh? What's the problem?"

The referee was taken aback, thinking there might be something wrong with his announcement.

“Let’s forget about replacing the Pokémon. Miss Lila can do that too. Since both sides are going all out, it’s fairer. I don’t want to take advantage of that. Also, let’s release the Pokémon together,” said Shigeru.
