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

[Attributes: water, flying]

【Level: 55】

[Potential: Champion]

【Ability: Intimidate (Upon entering the field, intimidate the opponent, lowering their Attack by 1 stage.)】

[Skills: Leap, Tackle, Leer, Tide Whirl, Freeze Fang, Bite, Waterfall, Crunch, Autumn Rain, Water Tail, Dragon Dance, Water Cannon, Storm, Rampage, Hyper Beam]

【Intimacy Level: 75 (Maximum 255)】

【Equipped Item: Everstone】

"The Everlasting Stone...!"

This Gyarados has an Ever Stone in its inventory, no wonder it didn't evolve at level 55. But since it's carrying an Ever Stone, why can it still evolve?

"Could it be that this Gyarados evolved to version 2.8 because of the Everstone?" Gary wondered.

The Everstone is used to suppress Pokémon evolution, while the Evolution Wave is used to promote Pokémon evolution. The two are in conflict with each other, which is why Magikarp evolves.

In that case, Dr. Shera's evolutionary waves cannot evolve Pokémon at all, but they can make Pokémon that have not evolved to their final form become listless or even feverish.

After all that, it turns out that Dr. Shiranu's evolutionary radio waves were completely useless. It's a shame that Xiao Shigeru was even somewhat interested in evolutionary radio waves.

Because in the sixth generation movie, a man named Jarvis used mysterious science to develop a device that forces Pokémon to undergo super evolution.

This device emits a type of electromagnetic wave called Mega Wave. Pokémon that are interfered with by Mega Wave will be forced to Mega Evolve.

257: Defeated Team Rocket officers

"It seems that not all the PhDs on Team Rocket are elites; there are some who are just filling in the numbers," Gary thought to himself.

Before long, the roar of an engine could be heard, and a burly man, accompanied by two men dressed as Team Rocket in black, arrived in a car and stopped.

“Team Rocket…!” Gary remembered the burly man in front of him, but he couldn’t recall his name. He was the special Team Rocket member who was assisting Dr. Shelan.

Xiao Mao remembered that this guy was quite strong and could fight A-Du to a standstill, but Xiao Mao wasn't afraid of him.

"Captain Chenji, the surveillance footage just showed a Blastoise fighting a Shiny Gyarados. It should be the Blastoise in front of us," one of Chenji's subordinates immediately reported.

"Kid, where did Gyarados go?" Tatsumi demanded.

“Here it is.” Gary showed the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Damn it, that Gyarados belongs to Team Rocket."

"If you know what you're doing, quickly hand over your Gyarados and your Blastoise too, and we'll consider letting you go."

The two subordinates behind Tatsumi acted in unison, completely disregarding Gary. Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Blastoise next to Gary was a Pokémon they had released.

"Blastoise, use Water Gun!" Gary wasn't exactly friendly towards Team Rocket.

Xiao Mao didn't intend to cause trouble, but since the Rockets had come to him of their own accord, he wasn't going to be polite to them.

"Kami!"

Blastoise fired two water cannon shots from its cannon.

"What!" Chen Ji was startled. His years of adventure experience made him realize the danger, and his body instinctively rolled to the side.

Bang! !

Chen Ji's two subordinates were not so lucky. The car behind them was hit by a water cannon and exploded, blasting them into the sky, where they turned into two stars and disappeared into the horizon.

"Damn it, come out, Finch." Tatsumi realized that Gary wasn't an ordinary kid, so he immediately threw out two Poké Balls.

Great..!

【LV55 Big-Toothed Finch ♂/Near-Elite Four】

【LV54 Big-Toothed Finch ♂/Near-Elite Four】

Tatsumi's Pokémon are two Finch, both of which possess near-Elite Four level strength. In Team Rocket, this strength would be comparable to that of a senior member, but it's still not enough in front of Gary.

"Blastoise, use Water Cannon!" Gary commanded.

Blastoise immediately fired its water cannon, but the two Finch were not so easily dealt with. They flew towards the two, preventing Blastoise from chasing them simultaneously, and in the end, neither of them hit.

"It's no use. Even if your Blastoise is strong, it can't take advantage of Flying-type Pokémon." Chenji waved his hand and commanded, "Find an opportunity and use Aerial Ace to attack."

Upon hearing the sound, the two big-billed finches attacked Blastoise from different directions, leaving Blastoise unable to defend itself from both ends. For a moment, Blastoise was unsure which one to deal with first.

"Blastoise, use Water Pulse to attack the left-hand Finch first," said Gary.

"Kami!"

Blastoise faced left, and water balls shot out from its cannon, hurtling towards the Pidgeotto attacking from the left. Seeing the dense water ripples, the Pidgeotto quickly took to the air to dodge, its movements very practiced, clearly the result of long-term cooperation with another Pidgeotto.

Seeing its companion being attacked, another Finch sped up and charged towards Blastoise, its entire body enveloped in a violent wind force.

Shigeru coldly watched the attacking Pidgeot and said indifferently, "Thunderbolt."

A bolt of golden lightning shot out from Xiao Mao's shadow. The next second, the lightning tore through the wind power on the Great Sparrow's body, bathing it in lightning.

"What? There's another spirit?" Tatsumi hadn't expected that there was a spirit hiding in Shigeru's shadow.

Thud! Thud! Thud...!

"Gawoo!!"

A mournful cry echoed from the sky as the Great Sparrow was repeatedly struck by Water Pulse, plummeting from the sky to the ground, its eyes rolling back as it lost consciousness.

Tatsumi realized something was wrong, realizing he had underestimated Gary. This Gary was no ordinary trainer; he shouldn't have brought only two people with him.

"Kami".

Blastoise's attack did not stop; after taking down one Finch, it turned its attention to another Finch.

Thud! Thud! Thud...!

With a series of Water Pulse attacks, Pidgeot was hit by Thunderbolt, which reduced its flight speed. It was then hit by a Water Ball and then by Water Pulse, instantly losing consciousness.

"Come back." Tatsumi took out a Poké Ball and recalled the two defeated Finch, then ran away in a flash.

Shigeru didn't stop him, because he knew that even if Tatsumi was sent to the police station, he would most likely be rescued. The Team Rocket members who wouldn't be rescued were all people abandoned by Giovanni.

Although Shigeru looks down on Giovanni from the anime world, it must be said that Giovanni will do everything in his power to protect those who are loyal to him.

Giovanni helped pay off the huge debts owed by Team Rocket. Even when Jessie and her friends destroyed the giant Pokémon Island that Team Rocket had built, Giovanni chose to forgive them. This shows that Giovanni treats his loyal subordinates very well.

However... Shigeru wouldn't be interested in someone like that. In the special manga, Shigeru is decisive and ruthless, readily discarding anyone who has no use to him.

As for directly killing the opponent, Gary doesn't want to do that yet. Killing a few small fry is fine, but if he really kills the elite members and executives of Team Rocket, then it will be a fight to the death, and he will truly become an enemy of Giovanni.

Gary has sabotaged Team Rocket's operations many times before, but he hasn't faced any retaliation so far, all because the main figures aren't in mortal danger. Otherwise, Giovanni would definitely have taken action against Gary.

Of course, there's also the fact that Gary is Professor Oak's grandson. If they really killed Gary, the Kanto League would definitely punish Team Rocket severely.

Furthermore, the founder of Team Rocket in the anime world was not Giovanni, but his mother.

Giovanni's mother did not share his ambition. Her initial motivation for creating Team Rocket was to make money, and their businesses spread throughout the Kanto and Johto regions.

It wasn't until after Giovanni's mother passed away and he took over Team Rocket that he began to have the idea of ​​conquering the world. So, in the anime, Team Rocket was originally just an organization with the goal of making money. It was only after Giovanni took over that he began to want to conquer the world.

"Hopefully, this guy and Syranu will know what's good for them and not court death." This time, Xiao Mao didn't kill them, but if Tatsumi and Syranu come looking for him, he won't hold back.

After driving Tatsumi away, Shigeru didn't stay long at the Lake of Rage and rushed back to Kaji Town.

258: Magneto

Back in Kaji Town, Gary contacted Professor Oak to teleport Scizor back and then teleport Magneton back.

The system-issued capture mission has been completed, Magneton can now evolve, and the best Thunder Stone has been prepared long ago.

After Jian teleported Magneton over, Shigeru left the Pokémon Center and went to the public area outside to release Magneton.

【LV52 Magneton/Ultraman】

After some time apart, Magneton's level hasn't increased much; because it joined the party relatively late, it has only increased by 2 levels.

“Magnemite, it’s time for you to evolve.” Gary took out the Thunder Stone he had prepared earlier from his backpack.

If Magneton evolves using a Super Thunder Stone, its potential will increase to Champion, allowing it to level up continuously.

"Kuoyi!"

Magneton immediately approached, and Gary placed the Thunder Stone on Magneton. Stimulated by the energy within the Thunder Stone, both Magneton reacted instantly, emitting a dazzling white light and radiating the light of evolution.

The three-in-one Magnemite's body rapidly changes, gradually flattening from its original form of three small Magnemites combined, until it becomes a disc before stopping. The light of evolution dissipates, and a brand new self-destructing Magnemite appears.

Because Magneton is a Shiny Pokémon, after evolving, its body color is a silvery-white metallic color, the pupil of its middle eye is also blue, and the three Magneton under its body are a dark red color. Overall, the colors are brighter.

【LV52 Magneton/Elite Four】

"Huh? Why hasn't the potential changed?"

Upon seeing Magneton's basic information, Gary was instantly dumbfounded, not understanding why Magneton's potential after evolution was still that of an Elite Four member.

“That’s right, I’m using the highest grade Thunder Stone.” Xiao Mao thought it over and over and felt that Elf Department Store would definitely not sell him fake products, because he had compared them before buying.

Compared to a top-tier evolution stone, a regular Thunder Stone is significantly different in both its individual characteristics and color.

Xiao Mao frowned, racking his brains, and then came up with a possibility.

"Could it be that the effect of the Supreme Thunder Stone in enhancing potential is similar to that of the Bronze Crown, only working on Pokémon with potential below Elite Four level?"

Thinking about it carefully, when Gary used evolution stones to evolve Pokémon, apart from Magneton, the potential of the other Pokémon was basically Gym potential. This is the first time that he used evolution stones to evolve Pokémon with Elite Four potential.

As Xiao Mao considered this possibility, the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was indeed true.

Fortunately, it was only a waste of a top-grade Thunder Stone, and the items rewarded by the system were not wasted.

"Looking at it this way, if the system rewards evolution items, it will also be useful for Pokémon with the potential to become Elite Four members," Gary said, pondering.

The Sneasel I caught earlier had the potential to become an Elite Four member. After evolving it using the Sharp Claws rewarded by the system, its potential increased by 1 level. This means that evolution items rewarded by the system are useful for Pokémon with potential below Champion level.

"System, what kind of Pokémon will the top-grade metal membrane you gave me be effective against?" Little Gary could only ask.

Although the system usually ignores Xiao Mao's inquiries, it will still answer questions about system reward items.

[Items awarded by the system will increase the potential level by 1 when used to evolve a Pokémon with less than Champion potential.]

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
