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

"Alright, Treecko, use Slap Attack," Xiaoyou commanded.

Treecko charged straight at Eevee, whipping its thick tail at it.

Seeing this, Eevee disliked Gary's command and used its tail to retaliate, blocking Treecko's tail. With a little force, it sent Treecko flying and crashing to the ground.

"What... such a huge difference in strength!" Xiao You was shocked. He could see that Eevee hadn't used much strength at all to push Treecko back.

"Your Treecko is too low-level, it's far inferior to my Eevee." Gary said.

"Really? Then let's try this trick." Xiaoyou said skeptically, "For the Treecko, use leaves!"

Treecko clapped its hands together, creating green energy leaves that transformed into petals and hurtled towards Eevee.

"Lightning Flash!" Xiao Mao gave the command.

Whoosh!

A white light flashed past, scattering the leaves and sending the wooden gecko flying several meters away.

Bang! !

The tree tree fell to the ground, its eyes darting around, and was instantly defeated.

"this...!"

Xiaoyou was surprised. He knew that there was a big gap between him and Xiaomao, but he did not expect that Shuten-dōji could not even withstand a single move.

"You flatter me," Xiao Mao said.

Eevee didn't use its full strength just now, otherwise Treecko wouldn't have just been sent flying several meters.

"Alright, Yu, hurry up and take the gecko to the research lab. There are treatment devices inside," Birch urged.

Xiaoyou nodded, picked up the gecko, and rushed into the research institute.

Although Xiaoyou seems a bit reckless, she still cares a lot about the elves.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you," said Professor Birch. He could easily tell that Gary wasn't taking the battle seriously and was clearly letting Yu win.

"It's alright, most new trainers are like this," Gary said nonchalantly. "By the way, Professor Birch, could I take a look at the Pokémon you choose for new trainers?"

"Of course, no problem, come with me."

Professor Birch led Gary back to a room in the lab. On a table were two Poké Balls, the missing one being the Treecko that Yu had taken away.

"These are the three Pokémon that we choose for new trainers in the Hoenn region." Professor Birch opened the two Poké Balls on the table.

Great!!

【LV5 Mudkip♂/Near-Elite Four】

【LV5 Torchic♂/Elite Four】

Professor Birch explained, "This is Mudkip, this is Torchic, and the Grass-type Pokémon is Treecko, which has already been chosen by Yu."

"They're all so cute."

Gary crouched down and carefully examined Mudkip and Torchic. When Torchic saw Gary, it immediately looked timid and hid behind Mudkip.

Mudkip stared blankly at Shigeru, showing no fear whatsoever.

It's so timid, this turkey must be Haruka's.

"Professor Birch, did these Pokémon all come from the breeding center?" Gary asked.

"Yes, they are all trained by breeders appointed by the League, specifically for new trainers."

Professor Birch asked, "What? Gary, do you also want to breed Mudkip?"

"I'd really like to breed one. Do you know where the breeding houses for these Pokémon are located? I'm willing to pay to buy one," said Shigeru.

"These three Pokémon are specially prepared for novice trainers and are not for sale to the public. If you want to buy them, you'll have to go to the market to look for them," Professor Birch said.

"Oh, that's a shame." Xiao Mao didn't mind; he could just go and catch it in the wild himself.

Furthermore, there is a Treecko Forest on the outskirts of Petalburg City, where wild Treecko can be caught.

"Shigeru, your information has been registered and you are now eligible to participate in the Hoenn League Tournament." At that moment, Professor Birch's assistant walked in and handed the Pokédex back to Shigeru.

"Thank you... Professor Birch, I won't bother you any longer." After receiving the Pokédex, Gary bid farewell and left.

Professor Oda Birch also had his assistant see Shigeru out.

After leaving Birch's Lab, Gary went to the Pokémon Department Store in Last White Town, bought some supplies, and then rode his mountain bike to Petalburg City.

The distance between Suebai Town and Orange City is very short; you can get there by bicycle in no time.

Furthermore, Gary is really looking forward to battling Senri, who is recognized as the strongest Gym Leader in the Hoenn region and is hailed as the successor to the Elite Four.

If I could have a dojo match with Qianli without holding back, the rewards from the system's mission would be quite generous.

315: First Shiny in the Hoenn Region! Mushroom!

We arrived in Orange Blossom at dusk.

Shigeru didn't plan to challenge any gyms today, so he went to the entrance of Petalburg Gym to trigger a system-issued quest.

[Ding! Mission issued: 1. Obtain the Petalburg Gym Badge / Rewards: 6 Intermediate Rare Candies, a permanent Ultimate Impact TM, and a Premium Silk Scarf!]

[2. Obtain the Petalburg Gym Badge using Hoenn region Pokémon / Rewards: 10 Intermediate Rare Candies, a Normal-type permanent TM of your choice (Naturally teachable Normal-type moves), and 1 random battle-affecting item.]

Xiao Shi was stunned. The challenge issued by the gym had changed, giving two options: one was to challenge as before, and the second was to change the choice of skills and items, but required challenging the gym with Pokémon from the Hoenn region.

"System, are you referring to the Pokémon caught in the Hoenn region, or the Pokémon listed in the Hoenn Pokédex?" Gary asked quickly.

[The Pokémon in the Hoenn region Pokédex.]

Xiao Mao immediately looked constipated.

Gary has caught nearly 40 Pokémon, but apart from Latios, he has no Pokémon from the Hoenn region.

Does that mean we have to use Latios to challenge every gym? While that's possible, it feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"The mission has changed this time, and it's now limited to using Pokémon from the Hoenn region. So, if we want to get double the mission rewards in the upcoming Rainbow Tournament, will we also need to use Pokémon from the Hoenn region?" Gary pondered.

If that's the case, this year's Hoenn Tournament will be quite difficult. Gary will need to train a new team, mainly composed of Pokémon from the Hoenn region.

Gary left Petalburg Gym and returned to the Pokémon Center to rest, planning to challenge the gym again the next morning.

Which Pokémon should I capture?

Back at the Pokémon Center, Gary pondered in his room which Pokémon to catch.

The Pokémon in the Hoenn region are all very powerful, and they have maintained their place in both popularity and PvP for generations.

Of the starter Pokémon in the Hoenn region, Blaziken and Swampert are both very powerful, except for Sceptile which is a bit weaker. In addition, Metagross and Salamence, which are pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the Hoenn region, are also very strong, and all five of these Pokémon have Mega Evolution forms.

Not to mention that Gardevoir, Milotic, and Aggron are also very good Pokémon.

Although all of these Pokémon are great, apart from the starter Pokémon, the rest are extremely rare and very difficult to catch.

Gardevoir's original form is Ralts. Like Abra, it can only teleport. The key is the red organ on Ralts' head, which can sense the emotions of living beings. So if the trainer shows even a little bit of bad emotion, it will scare Ralts away, making its capture rate extremely low.

Needless to say, the two pseudo-legendary Pokémon are prohibited from being bought or sold; they can only be caught in the wild, and it all depends on luck.

"Alright, let's start with Treekia."

What's the point of thinking so much? Even if we could capture these Pokémon, Shigeru wouldn't have enough resources to use them.

One night later...!

The next morning.

Shigeru arrived at the entrance of the Petalburg Gym again and pressed the doorbell.

"Who is it...it's you!"

A cute little boy opened the door, and was immediately taken aback when he saw Xiao Mao.

The little boy is none other than Xiao Zheng, May's younger brother, and one of the supporting characters who accompanies Ash on his journey through the Hoenn region.

Xiao Zheng also dreams of becoming a Pokémon Master, and he always watches the Pokémon League tournaments in every region. He has seen the competitions that Xiao Zhi participated in, so he naturally knows about Xiao Shi.

"You know me?" Xiao Mao asked knowingly.

"Yes, I've seen you on TV. You were the champion of the Quartz Conference and the Silver Conference," Xiao Zheng said.

Compared to when he was with Ash, Gary was much more polite to Gary, and there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Is Mr. Senri here? I'm here to challenge the gym," said Shigeru.

Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Then come in with me, I'll take you to the dojo's training area."

Xiao Zheng led Xiao Shigeru to the inner area of ​​the Petalburg Gym.

Qianli used a Normal-type Pokémon, so the arena was a very ordinary one, without any modifications.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get my father." Xiao Zheng left Xiao Mao on the field and went to the dojo to call Qian Li over.

"She's quite well-behaved."

Xiao Mao thought Xiao Zheng would impersonate someone else to follow him.

When Xiao Zheng first met Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi had a history of impersonating a gym leader. The key point is that Xiao Zhi was easily fooled and didn't know who the gym leader was, which is why he was tricked.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

Before long, Xiaozheng brought Qianli over. Beside Qianli was a girl wearing a red bodysuit, who was none other than the heroine of the Hoenn arc, Xiaoyao.

"Are you the challenger?" Qianli asked.

“Yes, my name is Shigeru, and I’m from the Kanto region,” Shigeru replied.

"So how many badges have you collected so far?" Qianli asked.

"I just arrived in the Hoenn region yesterday, and I haven't collected a single badge yet," Gary said.

“That won’t work. There are challenge restrictions at the Petalburg Gym. You need to obtain 4 Demolition Badges to be eligible to challenge them,” Senri said.

Xiaomao:? ? ?

are you sure?

0 ... ....

When Ash came to challenge you, you didn't mention any restrictions. If Ash hadn't brought too few Pokémon, we would have gone straight to a gym battle.
