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

“Saru”.

Gardevoir nodded; it intended to give the Mega Stone to Gary.

"Do you know what this stone is for?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Saruru." Gardevoir naturally knew that this Mega Stone belonged to its trainer, but its trainer had passed away, so there was no use for the Mega Stone if it remained with it. It was better to give it to Gary, since the stone was meant for his daughter anyway.

Gary was surprised; he never imagined that Gardevoir and Gallade's owners possessed Mega Stones.

Thinking about it carefully, it's unrealistic for Kirlia to find the Hidden Stone on its own if it wants to evolve into Gallade. This means that both Gallade and Gardevoir have trainers, and these trainers also have the ability to Mega Evolution.

This is not surprising, as the origin of Mega Stones is in the Hoenn region, and it is normal for trainers here to have Mega Evolution.

"Thank you for the gift. I will give this to Kirlia when it evolves into Gardevoir," said Gary.

Gardevoir nodded with satisfaction.

Shigeru is with Kirlia.

Little Blue never expected that just coming here to let Kirlia meet its parents would result in him getting a Mega Stone for free.

I've been having good luck lately. First, I encountered a majestic tooth in the desert, and now I've gotten a super stone for free.

From this perspective, Kirlia needs to accelerate its development into Gardevoir.

Gardevoir doesn't have a high evolution level requirement. Kirlia can evolve at level 30, so as long as Kirlia reaches level 27, Gary can use 3 low-level Rare Candies to evolve Kirlia into Gardevoir.

After leaving Manchong's house, I replenished my supplies at the Elf Department Store in town.

The next day, Shigeru and Higana continued their journey, passing through the Kalu Tunnel and arriving in Kanaz City after three days.

After spending a day replenishing their supplies in Kanaz City, they continued their journey to Petalburg City.

Five days later.

Shigeru and Higanbana finally arrived in Orange Blossom City.

During the journey, Xiao Shi's Pokémon also improved to some extent.

Hyperactive ape LV25-27!

Hatchompula LV34-35!

Armored Dragon LV30-31!

Kirlia LV23-25!

Mighty Chicken LV18-20!

For spirits not recorded, their level remains unchanged.

Looking at his Pokémon's level, Shigeru wondered if he should give it some special training.

Senri is hailed as the successor to the Elite Four, so his strength is naturally very powerful. Even though he doesn't use his ace Pokémon in gym battles, he's still quite strong, especially his Slaking, which can't benefit from the Sloth ability, which is truly outrageous.

However, considering that Ash's Grovyle could defeat Slaking from afar, Slaking's level must not be high. Even so, a Pokémon with a base stat total of 670 is still difficult to deal with.

"Let's go try it out first," Xiao Mao thought, deciding it was better not to waste any more time.

After obtaining the Petalburg Badge, you'll need to travel to the eastern Hoenn region to collect the Greenwood Gym Badges. Then, you'll embark on a sea voyage to collect the final two badges from Mossdeep City and Sootopolis City.

Next, we need to take Higana to the Sky Pillar, which will waste a lot of time going back and forth.

So Xiao Mao decisively gave up the special training and decided to try it out first. If he failed, he could always do the special training again.

So... the next day.

Gary tossed Higanbana some money, telling her to take care of her own lunch, and then headed off to Petalburg Gym.

Seeing how independent Sylvanas was, Gary decided to train her independence as well, so that Sylvanas and her Pokémon would have to take care of their own food from now on.

Since we'll have to separate sooner or later, and Xijiana will have to take care of herself in the future, we need to train her in this area as early as possible.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Petalburg Gym, Gary looked at the missions issued by the system.

[Ding! Mission issued: 1. Obtain Petalburg Gym Badge / Rewards: 6 Intermediate Rare Candies, TM for Ultimate Impact (Permanent), 1 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.]

Just like when I first came to Petalburg Gym, judging from this, Senri wouldn't send out Pokémon that are too strong. All three Pokémon should be below level 40.

Xiao Mao pressed the dojo doorbell.

A short while later, a male apprentice from the martial arts school came to open the door.

"Is there something you need?" the dojo apprentice asked.

"Hello, I'm here to challenge the Petalburg Gym," said Gary.

"So you're here to challenge the gym. Come with me."

The dojo apprentice led Xiao Mao into the dojo. Xiao Mao had been there once before and was quite familiar with it.

Soon, the dojo apprentices arrived at the training ground with Senri.

"It's you. It seems you've collected enough badges." Chisato said with some surprise when she saw that the challenger was Shigeru.

"Yes, we've already collected four badges." Shigeru took out the badge box, opened it, and showed the badges inside.

"Alright, let's begin the gym challenge." Qianli didn't waste any more words and started the gym challenge directly.

The dojo apprentices were responsible for acting as referees, and Shigeru and Potential also went to the command area.

The gym apprentice said to Gary, "The rules for the Petalburg Gym Challenge are 3 vs 3. (Okay!) Also, only the challenger has the right to switch Pokémon. Do you understand?"

“Understood, we can start anytime,” Xiao Mao said.

"Therefore, I hereby declare... the Gym Challenge officially begins."

The words fell.

He threw the Poké Ball from afar.

"Please, lazy otter."

Great!

"Mada".

The lazy otter stood listlessly on the ground. Although it looked languid and swayed as if it was about to lie down at any moment, it just wouldn't.

The average lazy old man would lie down on the ground as soon as he came out, not wanting to move at all.

【LV30 Lazy Otter♂/Champion】

Xiao Mao doesn't understand how Qianli trains Pokémon, but this Sloth has clearly overcome the effects of its Sloth ability.

"Go, Breloom!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

【LV32 Breloom♂/Gym】

383: Breath of the Breath vs. Sloth and Hyperactive Monkey

"Oh! A heterochromatic conical mushroom."

Senri was slightly surprised to see Shigeru send out the Odd-colored Hatchomp.

"It seems there's a specific strategy in place, but elemental advantage isn't very effective. Lazy Otter, use Blizzard!" Qianli commanded.

Don't let the lazy otter fool you; it has a very wide skill set.

"Mada!"

The Sloth opened its mouth and exhaled a gust of cold wind, mixed with snowballs, which rushed towards the Breath-shroom. If it could hit, it would definitely cause great damage, but it was certain that it would miss.

"Hoodie mushroom, dig a hole!" Xiao Mao commanded.

Bressilizer immediately burrowed underground to avoid the blizzard that countered it. Then, Gary continued to command, "Come out from underground and use Sonic Punch."

Boom! ! .

Instead of using the digging attack, the velvet mushroom burst out from three meters to the left of the sloth, arriving in front of the sloth with lightning speed and throwing a punch.

Bah! !

The fist struck the lazy otter squarely in the face, knocking it back.

"Don't stop, power up your punches!" Shigeru pressed his advantage, giving the lazy otter no chance to catch its breath.

Although it's unclear why Sloth managed to escape the effects of the Sloth ability, Sloth's base stats are poor, and its abilities in all aspects are far inferior to Breloom.

"Dou li!!"

The straw mushroom took 113 quick steps, chasing after the lazy otter, its fist surrounded by orange energy as it slammed into the lazy otter.

Seeing this, Qianli immediately ordered, "Use Shadow Claws to retaliate!"

The sloth reacted quickly, its claws enveloped in dark purple energy, and it swung them out, colliding with the Hathorn's enhanced punch.

After a clash, neither side gained the upper hand, but the Mushroom's attack was far from over. It unleashed another punch, covered in orange energy.

Boom! ! !

"Mada!"

The lazy otter howled in pain as it was punched in the head. Its entire body was sent flying, crashing onto the ground and losing consciousness immediately.

"Sloth is unable to fight, Breloom wins!" the gym apprentice announced.

"I actually lost...!" Qianli was also surprised. Even though he was hit by the Sonic Fist and the Enhanced Fist, the power of these two skills was not high.

Little did he know that Gary had already given Breloom a Black Belt, which increases the power of Fighting-type moves by 50%. Combined with Breloom's own type bonuses, Mach Punch and Power-Up Punch could reach a power of 80.

Even if the sloth otter has a level, without evolution, its abilities in all aspects are definitely no match for the hyperactive ape, so it's normal for it to lose (bbcj).

Furthermore, Breloom's Power Punch defeated Sloth, boosting its Attack stat by 1 stage.

Now, the scales of victory have tipped in Shigeru's favor.

"Your hoodoo mushrooms are growing very well."

"Then my second Pokémon... Go! Sauron!"

Qianli methodically dispatched the second spirit.
