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

Page 320

Torterra defeated Omastar using Leaf Storm. After successfully using this move, it will lower the user's Special Attack. The effect of lowering the stats will be removed by recalling the Poké Ball.

Shinji also took the opportunity to check the information about the fossil pterosaur using the encyclopedia.

Pokédex entry: "Fossil Aerodactyl, a fossil Pokémon, a ferocious Pokémon from ancient times, which seems to be able to spread its wings and glide through the sky."

After reviewing the information about Aerodactyl, Shinji put away his Pokédex and took out a Poké Ball from his pocket.

"You deal with Aerodactyl." Shinji threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

"Roar!"

A creature even larger than a fossil pterosaur appeared, measuring seven or eight meters in length and covered in blue scales.

【LV49 Gyarados♂/Champion】

"Gyarados...!"

Shigeru was surprised; he hadn't expected that Shinji had used Gyarados to battle Ash in the Travel Anime.

Especially since this Gyarados in front of me has champion potential, it should be the same Gyarados from the Travel Anime. I never thought I would have the chance to battle this Gyarados.

Shinji really puts players' expectations into practice by preparing three Pokémon with type advantages; if other Gym Leaders were to face Shinji, they would definitely have a terrible headache.

However, none of this mattered to Xiao Mao.

"Fossil Pteranodon, attack with sharp stones," Shigeru snapped his fingers and commanded.

“Use waterfall climbing!” Shinji immediately retorted.

"Roar!!"

Numerous sharp stone blades appeared around the fossil aerodra's body, and these blades shot rapidly toward the Gyarados, creating a continuous sound of air being pierced.

"Roar!!"

Gyarados was enveloped in a curtain of water, leaped into the air, and collided with the Stone Attack.

The sharp stone blades clashed with Gyarados's body, easily slicing through the water outside its body. Subsequent stone blades cut through the water and struck Gyarados's body.

"Roar!!"

Gyarados's Waterfall was abruptly interrupted, and its massive body was knocked to the ground, letting out a painful roar.

"Rockfall!"

Xiao Mao gave him no chance at all.

A fossil pterosaur hovered above a gyarados, causing rocks to fall.

Boom! Boom! Boom...!

A cloud of dust rose up, engulfing Gyarados's body.

Upon seeing this, the fossil pterosaur gently flapped its wings, blowing away the dust.

Gyarados was lying on the ground, its eyes already darting around.

"Gyarados is unable to battle, Aerodactyl wins!" Little Yellow said.

Shinji looked surprised. He hadn't expected that Gyarados could block two attacks from Aerodactyl. The difference in strength was quite significant.

"Come back." After his initial surprise, Shinji regained his composure, recalled Gyarados into its Poké Ball, and then threw it back out.

"The earth turtle is now in your hands."

Baton!

"Bata!"

The Earth-based tortoise makes another appearance.

Shinji immediately attacked after releasing Torterra, saying, "Torterra, use Energy Ball!"

The Tortoise stared straight at the sky and fired an energy ball at the Aerodactyl, but the energy ball missed and was easily dodged.

"Flying Technique!" Xiao Mao commanded.

The fossil pterosaur flew onto the rooftop, its body enveloped in a raging wind, and charged towards the earth-based tortoise.

The earth-based tortoise has a huge body and no room to hide, so it can only face the attack head-on.

"Turtle Terrace uses Crazy Plants!" Shinji retorted.

"Bata!"

As the Earth Tortoise stomped on the ground, thick vines sprouted wildly, lashing towards the sky. However, when the vines touched the fossil pterosaur, they were torn apart by the wind force surrounding it.

. ...... 0

The fossil pterosaur charged into the frenzied plants, fought its way through, and crashed headfirst into the earthworm.

"Bata!!"

The earth turtle's heavy body was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground, but even so, it did not fall down.

"Wing attack!" Shigeru commanded.

The fossil pterosaur used its legs to propel itself forward and pounced. Before the earthworm could recover, its wings, gleaming with white light, struck the earthworm's body.

Bah! !

The earth turtle was defeated once again, its massive body unable to stand up, and it lay motionless on the ground.

"The Earth Tortoise is unable to fight, the Fossilized Aerial Dragon wins!" Xiao Huang immediately said.

Yellow is very excited. He thought that Gary's first defeat at the gym was about to happen, but he did not expect to make a complete comeback and defeat two of Paul's Pokémon in a row.

Shinji still has one Primala left, but Primala was seriously injured in its battle with Kabutops, and it wouldn't be a match for Aerodactyl if it continued to fight.

Shinji glanced at the defeated Torterra, then at Aerodactyl, before calmly recalling Torterra and raising his hand, saying, "I concede this gym battle."

Shigeru wasn't surprised by Shinji's surrender.

Shinji is very meticulous in his tactical planning. He knows very well that his Primeape is not in a good enough state to defeat Aerodactyl, so he will not stubbornly charge in and cause unnecessary damage to his Pokémon.

"Challenger Shinji has voluntarily conceded defeat, and the winner of this gym battle is Gym Leader Gary," Huang announced.

474: The successor to the guild master, Xiao Jin

After the battle ended.

Shigeru approached Shinji and praised him, "That was a great match, Shinji. Your Pokémon are all very well trained."

Shinji didn't reply, but asked, "Is that all you're going to say? If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."

Shinji's personality is really stubborn and inflexible; he can't even be a little more polite.

Shigeru didn't care about that, and instead took out a green badge from his pocket and handed it to Shinji.

"This is a green badge. Although you didn't win, I acknowledge your strength. You are qualified to participate in the Indigo League. Take it," said Shigeru.

Shinji's brow twitched, and he slapped away the hand that Shigeru was offering, causing the badge in his hand to fly out and fall to the ground.

"Huh?" Little Yellow was dumbfounded, not understanding what Shinji meant.

The gym leader can decide whether to award a badge based on the trainer's performance; even if you lose, you still have a chance to get one.

"I don't want this kind of charity. Goodbye." Shinji said, turning and leaving.

Gary watched Shinji leave, thinking to himself, "Shinji is truly worthy of the name; he's completely different from Satoshi."

When Ash first became a trainer, most of the badges he received were gifts from the gym leaders; but Paul, on the other hand, refused the badges that the gym leaders offered him.

It's understandable that Shinji would react this way. When he encountered Denji, who was slacking off, during the challenge of the Seaside Gym, he was able to get the badge without batting an eye, which infuriated him.

"Xiao Mao, here's the badge." Xiao Huang picked up the fallen badge and handed it to Xiao Mao.

"Thank you." Gary took the badge, then released Gardevoir and began tidying up the area.

"Shigeru, I think Shinji is very arrogant. He'll probably come back to challenge you again soon," said Huang.

"Maybe." Shigeru wasn't sure if Shinji would challenge him again, but he was certain that if Shinji did come to challenge him, he would be stronger than before.

Without much thought, Xiao Mao left the task of tidying up the area to Gardevoir and Huang, while he went to the Pokémon Center to treat his Pokémon.

...!

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed since I took over as the curator.

Shigeru thought Shinji would come back to challenge him, but he didn't; it seems he's already left Evergreen City.

Today, the gym leader sent by the Trainers Association is arriving, and Gary will finally be free.

Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong...!

The doorbell kept ringing.

"A trainer?" Gary asked, puzzled.

The person who's in such a hurry to ring the doorbell is probably a challenger.

With a sense of doubt, Xiao Mao arrived at the door and opened it to see a boy about his age. He immediately realized that the boy had come to challenge the dojo.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Jin, and I'm here to take over as the head of Changqing Dojo," the boy introduced himself.

"It's you!!"

Shigeru looked bewildered. He had indeed received a notification from the Trainers Association that the person to take over as gym leader was named Shin, but it did not say that Shin was a boy about the same age as himself.

Xiao Jin laughed loudly, "Haha, I know I'm young, but I've fought my way through many competitors, so don't underestimate me."

"Do you have any identification?" Xiao Mao asked.

"some."

Xiao Jin immediately took out his ID card from his bag.

Xiao Mao looked closely and confirmed that the name was indeed Xiao Jin, and Xiao Jin was only one year older than Xiao Mao.

“Okay, then come with me to the Pokémon Center to register,” said Gary.

Even if you see Shin's ID card, you can't be sure if he is the same Shin who took over as gym leader, but you can find Shin's information at the Pokémon Center.

Xiao Jin has been selected as the head of Changqing Dojo, and his information has been registered in the database.
