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

Page 87

Ibrahimovic nodded frantically.

Although it's a bit inconvenient to leave Pokémon outside, considering that Ash's Pikachu is also left outside, leaving Eevee outside isn't a big deal.

"Alright, then I won't put you in the Poké Ball. But if you're outside, you must stay close to me and don't attack humans randomly," Gary reminded him.

“Buyi”.

Ibu nodded repeatedly, then hugged Shigeru's leg, revealing a smile that said, "My master is the best."

"Little Mao, shouldn't we stay on Crimson Lotus Island for a few more days?" Sabrina asked.

"What? Do you want to stay a few more days?" Xiao Mao asked.

“If possible, I would like to stay for three more days,” Naz said.

“But I only booked two days at the guesthouse. If we don’t leave today, we won’t have anywhere to stay,” Xiao Mao said.

Although Gary is a rich kid, there are too many people coming to Cinnabar Island, and all the hotels are fully booked. Even the Pokémon Center can't accommodate everyone, so Gary can't find a place to stay.

"Alright, let's go then." Seeing that there was nowhere to stay, Naz didn't want to stay any longer. She wanted to soak in the hot springs for a few more days, but since there was nowhere to stay, there was naturally no hot spring to soak in.

So, after packing their luggage and having lunch at the guesthouse, the two took a boat back inland in the afternoon.

...!

Harbour City.

After arriving in Harbor City from Crimson Lotus Island.

Gary and Sabrina stayed in Harbor City for a while. The reason for this was that there was a gym there.

Gary plans to train here for 670 weeks, obtain the gym badge, and then go to Viridian City.

During this time, Shigeru also took a good look at the newly acquired Ibrahimovic.

Just as Blaine said, this Eevee cannot evolve, no matter what evolution stone is used. When the evolution stone touches Eevee, it will react and Eevee will flash with evolution light, but the light will dissipate after a while.

Eevee wasn't carrying an Everstone, but it just couldn't evolve; it couldn't evolve using an Evolution Stone anyway.

As for whether Sun Sprites and Moon Sprites can evolve, the Crimson Lotus Research Institute is not sure yet, since the evolution based on intimacy has not been fully understood.

Because you can't be sure about affinity. If the relationship between the Pokémon and its trainer is good enough and the potential is sufficient, they will definitely evolve. But if the relationship is bad, they will never evolve successfully no matter what.

If this Eevee can evolve, Gary naturally hopes it can evolve into Umbreon, so he'll keep an Everstone for it, just in case, and only take it off at night.

"Bah!"

After finishing his physical training, Ibrahimovic came to Shigeru's side and clamored for an energy cube.

Shigeru also took out two Energy Cubes for Eevee to have a treat, and then stroked Eevee's fur, which was a little damp from sweat.

Chapter 123: Ibrahimovic's Amazing Skill Pool

"I don't know if you can teach skills, but let's give it a try."

Shigeru looked at Eevee and decided to try to teach it some moves. Although Eevee can evolve into many forms, it can only learn a few moves, and its move pool is not wide enough.

But considering the unique nature of this Eevee, Shigeru still wanted to give it a try.

So, Xiao Mao first tried to teach the million-ton kick.

[Ding! Professor failed.]

Hearing the professor's failure notification tone, Xiao Mao didn't pay much attention and tried to teach how to break the water flow.

The failure notification tone did not sound.

"Bu-ee!"

Eevee was startled, realizing that it had suddenly awakened a new skill.

"You've awakened a new skill?" Gary asked immediately upon seeing Eevee's surprised expression.

"Bue-ee." Eevee nodded blankly, wondering how Gary knew.

"This is my ability; I can teach Pokémon some skills. Try using Water Burst and see," said Gary.

“Buyi”.

Eevee immediately used Aqua Rush, a layer of water enveloping its fluffy tail. The water was compressed into a water blade, which Eevee wielded as it swung its tail, as if it were holding a water knife.

"You actually mastered it!"

Shigeru was shocked. Logically speaking, Eevee shouldn't be able to master Aqua Tail, but it actually did.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mao interrupted Eevee's move, placed his palm on Eevee's head, and Eevee's long ears drooped down.

Shigeru immediately taught Ibuki the 100,000 Volts.

There was still no failure message during the teaching process.

Ibrahimovic: (ΩДΩ)...!

Eevee was shocked. It had been half-believing and half-doubting, but suddenly it awakened a new skill and began to believe that Gary was telling the truth.

Then, Ibrahimovic really did unleash 100,000 volts.

Seeing Eevee unleash Thunderbolt, Gary was certain that this Eevee was extraordinary; although it couldn't evolve, it could master so many moves.

Shigeru thought of a possibility and immediately taught Eevee Solar Prowess, Flame Burst, and Dream Eater, and they all succeeded.

Currently, Eevee has mastered 5 skills, all of which correspond to the attributes of Eevee's 9 evolutions.

Could it be that this Eevee can learn moves that are only available in its evolved forms? Eevee can evolve into nine different forms, so this Eevee could learn moves of nine different types. That's incredibly powerful!

No Pokémon, apart from Mew, can learn so many different types of skills. The Pokémon with the widest skill range can only learn 5 or 6 other types of skills.

"Do you want to be a technician elf in the future?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Uh-huh?"

Eevee tilted its head, not understanding what "Technician Elf" meant, but it sounded quite high-class.

Shigeru tried to teach the remaining skills to Eevee, but all of them failed to teach. It couldn't learn Signal Beam either. Normally, Jolteon can learn Signal Beam, but this Eevee can't.

This suggests that this Eevee can only learn 9 types of moves that can be evolved, and cannot learn other types of moves that can only be learned in its evolved form.

"I don't know how good your learning ability is." Xiao Mao had a bit of a headache. He had discovered how powerful this Eevee was, but teaching it skills would be very difficult.

Gary only has so many TMs, so the number of skills he can teach is limited. Eevee can learn so many other types of skills, it would be a shame not to teach it more.

"Bue-ee." Eevee strutted proudly. It was the smartest Eevee in the research institute, so its learning ability was definitely strong.

"Really?" Xiao Mao said skeptically.

"Buee." Ibu indicated that it was worth a try to see its learning ability.

"Okay, Alakazam, come here for a second." Gary beckoned to Alakazam and briefly explained the situation to it.

Shigeru plans to have Ibuki learn Psychic from Alakazam first, to see if Ibuki can master it.

Alakazam also taught Eevee how to use Psychic, and even demonstrated it in front of Eevee.

Ibrahimovic carefully observed Alakazam's every move. Although the two had different physical structures, Ibrahimovic imitated Alakazam's demeanor quite well.

"Hu!" Alakazam unleashed his Psychic attack three times, then let Eevee try it out.

“Buyi”.

Eevee's eyes glowed blue, and its invisible and colorless Nen ability struck the ground, stirring up dust. It successfully unleashed its Psychic attack, which, while not as powerful as Alakazam's, was definitely a qualified Psychic attack.

Hudi: (O_o)??

Alakazam was dumbfounded. It considered itself the smartest Pokémon in the team, but it never expected that this Eevee would be so terrifying. It only watched it three times before it used Psychic.

"Ibrahimovic, you just used Imitation, didn't you?" Shigeru said.

"¨" Eevee... Seeing that it had been exposed by Shigeru, Eevee also showed an embarrassed smile. It had just used imitation.

"Hu?" Hudi looked puzzled, not knowing what the Imitation skill was.

"The Imitation skill allows you to mimic the moves others use. Except for some specific moves, you can imitate all other moves," Xiao Mao explained.

"Hu!"

Alakazam was shocked. He never expected that a Pokémon would know such a move. It was too invincible.

“Imitating this move is good, but it’s different from truly mastering it. If Eevee uses the imitated Psychic, it can’t beat you, including in terms of the move’s form. It’s not as good as a Pokémon that has truly mastered the move,” Gary said.

Hearing Xiao Mao say this, Hu Di felt relieved. Otherwise, all the skills he had worked so hard to master would be useless if the other party could use any skill just by imitating it. Wouldn't all his efforts be a joke?

“Ibu, don’t use Imitation. Try releasing your Psychic yourself. You (Zhao Hao) have the Imitation skill, so your learning ability should be outstanding,” Xiao Shi said.

Pokémon with the ability to mimic are very strong at learning, since they can copy the opponent's moves, easily grasp the difficulty of a skill, and learn a skill very easily.

Of course, this is on the premise that the Pokémon can master the skills it is learning. If it cannot master them, even if it can imitate them, it will not be able to master them on its own.

"Buyiji!"

Knowing he couldn't imitate, Eevee tried using Psychic on his own. Soon, an invisible energy burst forth from Eevee's body, impacting the field. However, this power was far from Psychic, not even as strong as the impact of Psychic.

This is already very good, considering it's Eevee's first time practicing. To achieve such an effect right away at least confirms that Eevee can learn Psychic. The next step is to see how long it will take Eevee to master it.

Chapter 124: Harbor Dojo

A week later.

Xiao Shigeru arrived at the entrance of the Harbor Dojo.

Harbor Dojo is a fighting dojo with rooms similar to those in martial arts schools. It is said that Harbor Dojo has a connection with the original Golden Yellow Dojo.

Golden Dojo was originally the dojo of karate master Taketoku, but later the dojo was taken over by Sabrina's father. It is said that the owner of Harbor Dojo was a fellow disciple of Taketoku.

[Ding! Mission issued: Obtain Harbor Gym Badge / Rewards: Beginner Rare Candy x5, Intermediate Rare Candy x5, Explosive Punch Permanent TM, Superior Black Belt (Increases Fighting-type move power by 50%) x1]

System task release.

Judging from the tasks released by the system, the Harbor Gym Leader's strength is not that great, about the same as Lt. Surge.

Enter the dojo.

Xiao Mao saw a group of men dressed in karate uniforms practicing karate in unison, each wearing a red headband around their waist, indicating their current karate level.

"Are you here to learn karate? If you sign up now and excel, our dojo will reward you with a Fearless Boy." A man saw Xiao Mao come in and assumed he was there to learn karate, since this age was perfect for a child.
