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

Page 143

"Shouldn't Grass-type Pokémon be immune to Water-type moves? Why?" Junichi looked at Gary's Eevee with confusion.

"Boohoo." Eevee looked at the fallen Chikorita leaf, feeling bored, and happily returned to Gary's side.

“Don’t be surprised. Grass-type Pokémon are indeed not afraid of Water-type moves, but Chikorita’s level is too low compared to my Eevee,” Gary replied. “The level difference is too big. Even moves that are not super effective against it can still cause a lot of damage.”

"Is that so...!" Junichi looked at Eevee next to Shigeru. Eevee was just too cute and didn't look like a powerful Pokémon at all.

"Quickly take Chikorita to the Pokémon Center for treatment!" Gary reminded him.

"Yes!"

Junichi then remembered Chikorita and immediately took it to the Pokémon Center.

When Joey saw Junichi returning with chrysanthemum leaves, he shook his head helplessly.

This young man is so stubborn and always acts on his own initiative. If he continues like this, the elf will suffer a great loss.

"Miss Joey, please treat my chrysanthemum leaves quickly," Junichi said anxiously.

Despite her anger, Joey, acting as a nurse, still took Chicory Leaf to the treatment room for treatment.

Shigeru and Eevee followed them in, mainly because Shigeru wanted to see if Junichi would be frustrated after being defeated.

Unfortunately, Shigeru was clearly overthinking things. Although Junichi's expression wasn't good, he wasn't discouraged; instead, his fighting spirit was ignited.

"Senior Xiao Mao, once I become stronger, can I challenge you again?" Chun Yi asked.

Gary was ashamed; Junichi was exactly the same as Satoshi in some ways.

"See you at the Silver Conference," said Shigeru.

"Okay, I will definitely participate in the Silver Tournament." Chunyi clenched his fist and said, his fighting spirit rekindled.

"Junichi, how are you?" At that moment, a man and a woman walked in.

Both Shigeru and Junichi looked towards the doorway.

When Shigeru saw the couple walking in, he immediately recognized them. The man was named Kenta and the woman was named Marina. Like Junichi, they were all new trainers in this batch of Wakaba Town. The three of them knew each other and were friends who had grown up together.

"Ah... Marina!!" Upon seeing Marina, Junichi immediately went over and said, "Marina, would you like to travel with me? I'll take care of you along the way."

"Thanks, but it's not necessary." Marina said with a hint of disdain, "Judging from your appearance, you didn't seem to be affected at all. Did you win the battle?"

"Oh, Marina, so you care about me so much! You even know about my battle," Junichi said excitedly.

"Don't misunderstand, I just happened to be at Dr. Sora's place. It was Miss Joy who called Kenta, so I came along to check on him. It wasn't because I was concerned about you," Marina quickly explained, afraid that Junichi would misunderstand.

Marina has made it clear that she doesn't like Junichi, but Junichi is shameless and keeps trying to curry favor with her.

"Junichi, are your chrysanthemum leaves alright?" Kenta asked.

Mentioning the chicory leaves, Junichi said somewhat dejectedly, "It's alright, I've already handed it over to Joey for treatment. I never imagined that my first battle would end in defeat. What a misfortune."

"Who beat you?" Marina asked curiously.

Although all three are rookie trainers, Marina knows Junichi well. Junichi seems very confident, but he also studies hard and has a wealth of knowledge about Pokémon. A trainer who can beat him must be extraordinary.

"Didn't you see? It was him." Junichi pointed at Shigeru and said, "It was his Eevee that defeated me."

Kenta and Marina both looked at Shigeru, and immediately had different opinions.

"This is the trainer who defeated Junichi. He looks very composed. I really want to challenge him." Kenta thought to himself.

"Wow, so handsome! Even more handsome than Kenta," Marina thought to herself.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Mao." Xiao Mao greeted them politely.

"Hello, my name is Marina." Marina responded quite enthusiastically upon seeing the handsome man.

Chun, standing to the side, was immediately a little jealous. She was so enthusiastic on their first meeting; she really was a woman who only liked handsome men.

"Hello, my name is Kenta. You just defeated Junichi. Would you like to have a match with me?" Kenta challenged him directly.

"Kenta, you...!" Marina wanted to stop him, but seeing that it was her beloved's decision, she didn't say anything more.

Marina is a very fickle girl. She aspires to be Watari's lover, but she secretly likes Kenta. She's a complete womanizer, just like Natsuki.

　(Good for Zhao) "Kenta, Shigeru is very strong, I suggest you give up." Junichi spoke up for justice.

Junichi was very confident before, but after experiencing defeat, he calmed down. As a newcomer, he was indeed no match for the veteran trainers, and he didn't want to see his good brother lose.

"That can't be left out! You've already taken on the challenge, so I'm going to give it a try too!" Kenta said, full of fighting spirit.

“Um…you’re a newbie like Junichi, right?” Xiaoshige said.

“Yes, I just got the Pokémon today,” Kenta nodded.

Xiao Mao: Um...!

Are all the new trainers in Wakaba Town so fearless and naive?

"Alright, let's have another match then," Xiao Shigeru agreed.

Gary naturally had no intention of bullying the newcomers, but these three were trainers chosen by Professor Elm, and as a senior, Gary could offer them some guidance.

209: The People Who Bullied Dr. Elm

Having decided to fight, Shigeru, Junichi, and the other two went to the public area outside once again.

Shigeru and Kenta were already standing in the command area.

Marina and Junichi watched the battle from the sidelines. Shigeru had been wondering if Marina would also challenge him, but he received a clear rejection.

Marina wasn't interested in Pokémon battles; she wanted to become a Pokémon Coordinator, so she didn't plan to challenge Gary.

“The Pokémon I sent out was Eevee,” said Gary.

"Bue-ee!" Eevee rushed into the arena. The battle just now hadn't satisfied it, and it hoped that Kenta would send out some powerful Pokémon.

Clearly, Ibrahimovic's expectations are going to be dashed.

Kenta and Junichi are both new trainers who just received their Pokémon from Professor Elm today.

As the story unfolds, Kenta gets Cyndaquil as his starter Pokémon from Professor Elm, which is a decent Fire-type Pokémon, but unfortunately, it's far inferior to Charmander.

"Go, Cyndaquil!" Kenta threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

An elf that looks like a mole makes its appearance.

【LV8 Fireball Mouse♂/Elite Four】

Seeing the potential of Cyndaquil, it's clear that Professor Elm went all out this time, giving out such a high-potential Cyndaquil. It's unclear whether all the Pokémon Professor Elm gives out have high potential, or if the professors have their eye on the newcomers who receive Pokémon.

"Cyndaquil, show some fighting spirit!" Kenta said.

"Bar!"

The Cyndaquil's cry is adorable, and flames burst from the red spots on its back, showing that this Cyndaquil is quite aggressive, much more so than Ash's Cyndaquil.

"Cyndaquil, attack with Ember!" Kenta commanded.

The fireball spewed out clusters of tiny sparks the size of pebbles at Eevee. The sparks fell towards Eevee, and their appearance was so weak it was almost unbearable to look at.

"Let's take care of it with high-speed stars." Xiao Mao also felt it was pointless. Bullying the newbie satisfied his perverse sense of humor, but once the fight started, it really wasn't fun at all.

“Buyi”.

Eevee unleashed a high-speed star, generating a golden energy star that swirled around its tail. As Eevee swung its tail, the golden star shattered the sparks and hurtled towards Cyndaquil.

"Cyndaquil, use Dig!" Kenta commanded.

Cyndaquil immediately burrowed underground, and all the high-speed stars fell to the ground, turning into dust and dissipating into the air.

Cyndaquil naturally lives underground, and digging is a skill it is born with.

Xiao Mao looked at the ground and said calmly, "Trust your intuition and use the Water Stream Breaker to attack the threatening locations."

"Bah!"

With water swirling around its tail, Eevee immediately sensed a threat from the ground beneath it. Following its instincts, it leaped forward and swung its Water Blade to slash at the earth.

Boom! !

The ground in the common area was not solid, and it crumbled instantly, sending sand and stones flying. Cyndaquil was shaken out, and Eevee saw it and swung its tail again, sending Cyndaquil flying.

boom! !

The Cyndaquil crashed into the fence and fell to the ground, extinguishing the flames on its back.

"Cyndaquil!!"

Kenta ran over worriedly and picked up Cyndaquil to check its injuries.

"Don't worry, Ibu didn't hit hard. He just passed out. Nurse Joy can treat him." Shigeru said.

Kenta nodded, picked up Cyndaquil, and rushed into the Pokémon Center. Junichi and Marina followed closely behind Kenta, with Kenta clearly leading the group.

Xiao Mao also went into the Pokémon Center to take a look.

"Kenta, Dr. Kuki just called and said he has something to give you and wants you to go back," Joey said.

"Oh, I'll go after Cyndaquil is healed," Kenta said.

As soon as Shigeru entered the Pokémon Center, he overheard Nurse Joy and Kenta talking.

Kenta looked at Shigeru, walked up to him, and said, "Shigeru, I heard from Junichi that you will be participating in the Silver Tournament, right?"

“Yes.” Xiao Shi nodded, wondering why Kenta would ask such a question. Could it be that Kenta was also going to participate?

In the original storyline, Kenta and Junichi had the same goal: to become Pokémon Masters. However, Kenta did not participate in the Silver Tournament, while Junichi did.

“I admit you’re strong. Let’s have our second match at the Silver Tournament,” Kenta said.

"Okay, good luck to you guys. Oh, and if you're going to see Dr. Elm later, please say hello for me. I won't bother him." Shigeru said.

"Um!?"

Do you know Dr. Kongmu?

Junichi and Marina looked puzzled. They had grown up in Wakaba Town and often visited Professor Elm's place, but they had never seen Shigeru before.

"Of course I know him. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Xiao Shi didn't want to linger here any longer; he still needed to catch new Pokémon.

Gary hasn't forgotten his promise to Ash. He's using the Pokémon he caught in the Johto region to battle, but he hasn't caught a single Pokémon yet.
