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

"Alright, you've all finished your tour. We can start the gym battle now," Blaine said.

[Ding! Mission issued: Obtain Crimson Lotus Gym Badge / Mission Rewards: 10 Intermediate Rare Candies, a permanent Flame Burst TM, and 1 Superior Charcoal (increases the power of Fire-type moves by 50%)]

The system suddenly issued a task.

The rewards for completing the mission are the same as those for challenging other gyms. It seems that the reward for challenging any gym is only low-level or mid-level Rare Candies, and there are no high-level Rare Candies.

“Dr. Shaber, wait a moment, I have something I want to ask you,” said Shigeru.

"go ahead."

"I'm very interested in this Eevee and am willing to pay for it, is that alright?"

Blaine remained calm. Eevee is a very popular Pokémon with multiple evolutions, which can fill the gaps in a team's stats.

“This won’t work. These Eevee are not perfect yet and cannot evolve normally. Even if you buy them, they won’t evolve,” Blaine said.

“Mr. Shi has already told me, and I don’t care. I still want to try cultivating it,” Xiao Mao said.

Blaine looked at the earnest Gary and was surprised that Gary would go and raise a defective Pokémon.

Blaine pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I can give you this Eevee, but you need to record the entire process of Eevee's growth and submit the recorded data to me every month."

"no problem."

Shigeru understood Blaine's meaning; he wanted to see if handing Eevee over to a trainer could solve the problem of it not being able to evolve.

"Mr. Blaine, can I have an Eevee too?" Seeing that Gary got an Eevee for free, Ash also wanted to get one for free.

“Sure, as long as you pay 100 million, you can tell me about the Eevee training process afterwards,” Blaine said.

"What? One million!" Ash was shocked. He had never bought a Pokémon since he became a trainer.

“Although the Eevee in the research institute cannot evolve, each one has extremely high potential. If properly nurtured, their strength can definitely surpass that of a gymnast. One million is already a bargain,” Blaine said.

Blaine is right. A Pokémon with gym potential can fetch a million at auction, and the two worst Eevee here have champion potential. Even if they can't evolve, their value is definitely over a million. A million is a very cheap price.

"Then forget it." Xiao Zhi is a freeloader; he'll take anything that's free, but he won't take anything that costs money.

Gary didn't make a move either, since Ash in the anime never caught Eevee, and Ash already had Pikachu, so why would he need Eevee?

·· ·······Requesting flowers···· ··

“Dr. Shaber, it’s time for a battle,” said Shigeru.

"follow me."

Blaine was also itching to play. He hadn't had a gym battle in years, so he was naturally looking forward to today's match.

...!

The group arrived at the area behind the research institute.

Shigeru looked at the terrain; he was prepared to fight inside the volcano, but Blaine, after a while, chose to fight in a normal area.

In the original storyline, Blaine initially battled Ash inside the volcano, and the second time they fought directly at the crater.

It may seem like a test for the challengers, but in reality, it's about taking advantage of the terrain. Anyone with eyes can see that only Fire and Rock-type Pokémon can move around in these two battlefields; other Pokémon simply cannot fight in such a place.

 …

Blaine knew the weaknesses of Fire-type Pokémon, which is why he chose this battlefield, making the Cinnabar Gym so challenging.

“According to the rules of the Crimson Lotus Dojo, the match is 3 against 3,” Xia Bo said.

"oh, I understand now."

Without further ado, Blaine threw out a Poké Ball.

"My first Pokémon was this one, go, Ninetales!"

Baton!

【LV42 Nine-Tailed Male/Near-Ultraman】

Xiao Mao was shocked. Blaine's starting Pokémon was terrifying, reaching level 42 right from the start.

You should know that Blaine also has a Magmar, which should be stronger than Ninetales. Can Gary's Charizard really beat it?

Pokédex entry: "Nine-Tailed Fox, a fire-type Pokémon, the evolved form of Six-Tailed Fox."

Ash also took out his Pokédex to look at Ninetales' basic information.

"A Fire-type Pokémon, Gary will probably bring out his Blastoise, right?" Ash knows that Gary has a Blastoise, so he will definitely send out Blastoise.

"Of course! Unlike you, Xiao Shi isn't the type to send out a Pokémon with the opposite type in battle," Xiao Xia retorted.

“That was mine before. I wouldn’t do that kind of thing now,” Xiaozhi retorted.

Gary looked at Ninetales, having already decided which Pokémon to use, and took a Poké Ball from his waist and threw it out.

Baton!

A colossal object, over two meters tall, appeared on the field.

【LV51 Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex♂/Near-Ultraman】Thousand.

Chapter 116: VS. Blaine

"Wow, that's a Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex! How imposing!"

Yesterday at the Pokémon Center, Ash was very curious about what Mega Tyranitar looked like. Now that he has finally seen it in person, he was immediately captivated by Mega Tyranitar's imposing appearance.

"Giant Iron Rhyperior, it seems you are indeed no ordinary trainer and are qualified to challenge me," Blaine commented.

Blaine also has a Rhyperior and knows very well what kind of strength Rhyperior is. Since Gary has a Mega Rhyperior, then the strength of this Mega Rhyperior must be at the Gym level.

After all, Iron Rhino needs to be level 42 to evolve into Iron Tyrannosaurus.

"Let me test your strength, Nine-Tails, Flame Breath!" Blaine gave the order first.

"Woo~!"

Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth and spewed a stream of flame at Super Iron Tyrannosaurus.

"Sharp stone attack!"

Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex "973" raised its arms and slammed them into the ground. Boom! The ground shattered, and sharp rocks burst forth from the soil. The flames it spewed were unable to melt the rocks that broke through the soil, and it was pushed back step by step by the rocks.

Seeing this, Nine-Tails immediately stopped spewing flames and quickly dodged to the side, but under the control of the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus, sharp stones continued to surge from the ground, chasing after Nine-Tails.

At Professor Oak's lab, Gary instructed the Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex to practice its Rock Slash attack. It can now skillfully construct rocks and even track targets. If Ninetales wants to break its attack, it can only use a more powerful move to detonate the elemental energy underground to interrupt the attack.

"Stop dodging, use Flame Vortex on the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus," Blaine commanded.

Even while fleeing, Nine-Tails stopped running and unleashed a vortex of fire at Super Iron Tyrannosaurus. The flames seemed to have a mind of their own, surrounding Super Iron Tyrannosaurus. The sharp stone attack also hit Nine-Tails, sending it flying.

Seeing the Tyrannosaurus Rex surrounded by a vortex of flames, Gary ignored it and directly commanded, "Earthquake."

"Roar!!"

The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus stomped its foot on the ground, and the shockwave spread out rapidly. Ninetales dared not take the earthquake head-on, as the sharp rock attack had made it very uncomfortable, and it immediately leaped high into the air.

However, at that very moment, the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus suddenly charged forward, the drill on its head spinning, and a golden energy swirling around it, forming a vortex—this was the Straight Drill skill.

The earthquake was only meant to force the Nine-Tails to jump, so it wouldn't be able to move around randomly.

"Stop the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus with Flamethrower," Blaine immediately commanded.

Nine-Tailed Fox immediately spewed flames in the air, but the flames were weak and powerless, and could not stop the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex at all.

boom! ! !

"Woo!"

With a mournful howl, Ninetales was knocked out of the arena by Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex and crashed to the ground, its eyes spinning in circles.

"Wow, that's amazing." Ash was shocked to see Ninetales defeated by Giganotosaurus, because Ash rarely used such conventional tactics to win battles. He usually won by surprise when facing strong opponents.

Both Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were sweating profusely. Unlike Xiaozhi, they were not ignorant. A single battle was enough to show Xiaoshi's trainer level, which clearly overwhelmed Xiaozhi. The two were not even on the same level.

Especially since Ash keeps saying he wants to surpass Gary, that's going to be quite difficult.

"A very powerful Drill Strike, but the battle isn't over yet. My second contender is this one. Go, Rapidash!" Blaine sent out his second Pokémon.

Baton!

"Yu~!"

A neighing sound rang out, and a magnificent horse with pale yellow coat was released.

【LV45 Fiery Steed♂/Heavenly King】

That's some serious potential.

Compared to the gyms I challenged before, it was rare to see Pokémon with the potential to become Elite Four members. However, the Pokémon Blaine had seemed to be at least Elite Four members, which is worthy of a researcher specializing in enhancing Pokémon.

Unable to recall its Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex due to the influence of the flame vortex, Gary preemptively issued the command: "Earthquake!"

"Roar!!"

The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex stomped the ground, causing an earthquake.

"Jump up and use the bright sunshine!" Blaine commanded.

The fiery horse leaped into the air, jumping incredibly high.

"Straight-through drill!" Xiao Mao said.

When the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus looked up, it saw that the sunlight in the sky had become extremely bright, so bright that it hurt its eyes.

Shigeru was wondering what was going on, but when he looked up, he realized that the same situation was happening to Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex. The other party was using the blinding light to block Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex's vision.

The next moment, the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus felt a shadow looming over it. It immediately opened its eyes and saw a pair of hooves hurtling towards its face.

boom!boom!

Rapidash sent the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex flying back several meters with a double kick...

"Sunlight Spell!" Blair immediately issued the deadly command.

The Flame Horse casts Sunbeam, and a beam of incandescent light shoots out from its mouth.

boom! !

When the Sunlight spell hits, the effect is outstanding!
