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

Page 352

"Oh."

Ash reluctantly took out his Pokédex and searched for information about Riolu.

Pokédex entry: "Riolus, an Aura Pokémon, emits an aura from its body that becomes stronger when it is fearful or sad, alerting its companions to its impending danger."

516: Sandstone Town, separated from Ash.

"Just like Lucario, it can use Aura. Let me check Lucario's stats again," Ash muttered to himself.

I first encountered Lucario in the castle, but I knew absolutely nothing about him, only that he was a Pokémon of the Aura Controller, as the Queen told me.

Pokédex entry: "Lucario, an Aura-guided Pokémon, the evolved form of Riolu, can sense the opponent's energy fluctuations and read their thoughts and actions."

"Wow, that's amazing! It makes me want to catch a Lucario too!" Ash exclaimed excitedly.

Ash was supposed to catch Pokémon based on fate, but after seeing the information and stats of the two Pokémon, he started clamoring to catch them. He's still a child at heart.

However... it's best to postpone catching Lucario for a few years.

The death of Lucario in the movie is a source of deep regret for many Pokémon fans. Ash even encountered Riolu in the Sinnoh storyline, and everyone thought he would catch Riolu in the Sinnoh region, but it turned out that they only met and he did not catch it.

Ash finally caught Riolu during the Travel series, which can be considered as fulfilling a wish.

"Oh right, let's take a look at the Infernape that Gary mentioned." Ash thought of the Infernape that Gary wanted to catch, so he decided to check it out as well.

A Pokémon that even Shigeru is interested in is definitely worth paying attention to.

Pokédex entry: "Infernape, a fire-type Pokémon, is the evolved form of Infernape. Its personality is as intense as the flames burning on its head, and its agility is second to none."

"That's Infernape! It's so cool!" Ash exclaimed.

"hehe."

Gary smiled, wondering if he should try to steal Ash's Infernape.

After all, Ash only used Infernape at the Lily of the Valley Conference, and hasn't used it since.

Ash's Infernape, in particular, has the EX Blaze ability, making it a very worthwhile target to snatch.

"It seems to still be in Shinji's hands," Shigeru thought to himself.

Judging from the timeline, it seems that Shinji returned to the Sinnoh region after his trip to the Kanto region, preparing to participate in the Lily of the Valley Conference. He used it in his first 3v3 battle against Ash.

In other words, Shinji has already captured the little chimpanzee, so if you want to intercept it, you can only wait until Shinji discards the little chimpanzee.

However, Chimchar's abandonment wasn't just due to his inability to control Blaze; Ash also played a significant role in the process, otherwise Shinji might not have abandoned Chimchar.

It's such a headache.

Forget it, let's capture that oddly colored giant monster first.

Outside Windward Town in the Sinnoh region, there lives a ferocious Shiny Metagross.

Metagross is a very dangerous Pokémon in the wild. Despite being a Steel-type Pokémon, it is a predatory Pokémon that eats meat, and its way of eating is extremely cruel.

Instead of killing its opponent before eating it, Metagross uses its body to subdue its opponent and then eats the prey alive with the teeth on its abdomen. The prey watches as its body is slowly devoured by Metagross and eventually dies from excessive bleeding.

In order to maintain peace in the region, Shigeru decides to capture the metal monster.

"Ding!"

"Dear passengers, the cruise ship has arrived at Masa Town. Those who need to disembark should disembark before 4 pm. Please take your luggage and mobile phones with you."

The cruise ship has arrived at the dock in Zhensha Town and has come to a stop.

"Ha, we've finally arrived!"

"Pickup!"

Ash and Pikachu were very excited, as they were about to embark on a new journey.

"Let's go back to our room and get our luggage."

"it is good."

Shigeru and Satoshi returned to their room, retrieved their luggage, and disembarked together.

"Gary, let's go to Professor Yamanashi's lab," Ash said.

"You go ahead, I won't go," Xiao Mao refused.

"Hey, aren't you going to pay them a visit?" Ash asked.

"I'll visit him myself later. I have something to do, so I'll be going now." With that, Xiao Mao walked down another road.

"Honestly, why be so unconventional?" Ash was quite reluctant to part with her, since he usually had companions with him when he went on trips.

However, Gary was determined to leave, and Ash couldn't do anything about it.

"Pikachu, let's go visit Professor Yamanashi," Ash said.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu nodded.

Ash and Pikachu headed in another direction...!

"In order not to disrupt the plot, this is the only way."

Gary was unwilling to go with Ash to visit Professor Yamanashi, naturally because he didn't want to disrupt the original storyline.

Based on what happened when Ash first arrived in the Sinnoh region, Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket, but eventually escaped from Team Rocket and met Dawn.

Ash learned from Professor Yamanashi that Pikachu had encountered a girl, so he went to the wild to look for her. During his search, he happened to meet a Staraptor and caught it.

Gary knew that with Ash by his side, Team Rocket would most likely not dare to make a move, so he decided to leave to avoid interfering with the storyline.

Stark appeared many times during Ash's subsequent journey, and if Ash hadn't caught Stark, it might have affected the later plot.

As for why Gary wanted to recreate the Sinnoh storyline, it's naturally because an apocalyptic event occurred in the Sinnoh region, and Ash encountered the vengeful Arceus when he traveled to Michinar.

If Dialga hadn't sent Ash and the others to a parallel universe in the past to resolve the misunderstanding, while the world might not have been destroyed, the Sinnoh region wouldn't have been completely destroyed either, but Michinar would certainly not exist anymore.

Gary didn't dare gamble on how much hatred Arceus harbored. If it wiped out humanity on Earth, that would be disastrous. So, he needed to ensure that Ash followed the original storyline.

The key issue is that the movies that happen in the Sinnoh region are all too terrifying. It won't be long before Dialga and Palkia fight in Ashford.

Later, Giratina will also come out to fight Dialga. Zero takes the opportunity to copy Giratina's ability and gain the ability to enter the Reverse World, almost destroying the glaciers in the Sinnoh region.

The theatrical versions that occurred in other regions were still within a controllable range. Even if they angered the legendary spirits, they would simply deal with those within their sight and leave.

The theaters in the Sinnoh region are full of scenes of time-space collapse, glacier shattering, and world destruction, which is really terrifying.

During his trip to the Sinnoh region, Gary must stay away from Ash. As for Shaymin, who might try to take advantage of the chaos, he has a good chance of catching Sheam.

Although Shaymin are mythical spirits, they are not very strong and they migrate frequently. It is currently the season for Shaymin to migrate, and they will migrate to Gracidia in groups to transform into their sky form through the pollen of the Gracidia flower.

517: Strong Wind Town

"It's decided. I'll go and capture Metagross first, and then I'll go to the Gracidia Flower Fields to capture Shaymin."

After making his decision, Gary went to the Pokémon Department Store in Sandy Town to replenish his supplies. Then, he rode Magneton to Windward Town.

Strongwind Town is located in the north of the Sinnoh region. You can reach it by heading north, but it's quite a distance, almost spanning half of the Sinnoh region.

Magneton isn't very fast, and it took Gary three days to reach Windward Town from Sandy Town, considering he also had to train Garchomp.

Strongwind Town gets its name from the strong winds that often blow here. Due to its unique geographical environment, the town holds a Pokémon Ring tournament every month, which can only be participated in by Flying-type Pokémon.

Ash participated in the Pokémon Ring Tournament when he passed through Windward Town. It was during the tournament that Ash's Staraptor evolved into Staraptor.

Shigeru wasn't very interested in the Pokémon Ring Tournament because he didn't have any Flying-type Pokémon and couldn't participate.

After arriving in Windward Town, Gary asked Nurse Joy about Metagross at the Pokémon Center.

Upon hearing that Gary was inquiring about Metagross's whereabouts, Nurse Joy immediately reminded him, "That Metagross is very strong. Many trainers have tried to catch it before, but all of them ended in failure. Some even didn't come back. I advise you to give up."

Xiao Mao felt that Qiao237 was making a mountain out of a molehill, even fabricating lies to scare him. Although it is not uncommon for trainers to die in the wild, the League would not stand idly by if people knew that there was a region where wild Pokémon would eat people.

For example, in the wilderness of Kaji Town in the Johto region, the rampage of Gyarados in the Lake of Rage attracted Lance's attention, who went to deal with it.

If this Shiny Metagross really does eat people, then the situation will be very serious, and the Sinnoh League will definitely send someone to deal with it.

"What should we do if we accidentally run into them on the road?" Xiao Mao asked.

“You don’t need to worry about that. That Metagross only stays in its own territory. There are signs over there. As long as you don’t trespass into Metagross’s territory, you’ll be fine,” Joey said.

"Oh, I know."

Xiao Mao nodded, thinking to himself, "This Joey really doesn't lie. If he's really as terrifying as you say, how could he only stay within his own territory?"

After getting the information he wanted, Gary left the Pokémon Center and rode Magneton to the area where Metagross was active. It was a gray rocky valley with roads made of rock and full of potholes, making the ride very bumpy. He could basically only walk.

"found it."

Following the road through the valley, you'll see a sign at a crossroads with a picture of a multicolored Megalodon and a red X on it, warning people not to go down that road.

“Let’s go, let’s take a look at this road,” Xiao Mao said.

"Kuoyi!"

Magneton nodded and flew toward the warning section of the road. Along the way, it saw almost no wild Pokémon, because the wild Pokémon in this area all knew that there was a Metagross here and dared not approach.

"Huh, where's Metagross?" Shigeru searched carefully but couldn't find any trace of Metagross. Logically, this Metagross should still be in this area and hasn't been captured by anyone.

Finding an open space, Gary had Magneto put him down and commanded, "Magneto, unleash your magnetism!"

Magnetism is very effective against Steel-type Pokémon. It can affect the actions of Steel-type Pokémon within a certain range. Whenever a strong magnetic field appears, all Steel-type Pokémon in the vicinity will be affected.

That strange Metagross is a local tyrant. Sensing the change in magnetic force, it will definitely think that some Pokémon is provoking it, and it will definitely come looking for trouble.

“Kuoyi”.

Magneto begins to release magnetic force, and the magnets on its body emit electric current as it starts to release more magnets.

In no time, it was discovered that some of the rocks in the valley had moved under the influence of the magnetic force. However, because they were too heavy, these rocks could not float in the air (bbcj), otherwise they would definitely have been attracted to the Magneton.

“Kuoyi”.

Magneton suddenly cried out in alarm, turning its face towards Gary's back.

Xiao Mao immediately turned around and saw a giant white monster with its limbs and iron arms folded together flying towards them.
