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

"Garuda, come out." Upon arriving at the indoor training area, Gary released Garuda.

【LV39 Garchomp♂/Champion】

Garchomp is already level 39, just 9 levels away from the level required for evolution.

Gary reached out and placed his hand on Garchomp's rough skin, using 9 Medium Magic Candies on it.

Garchomp's level increased rapidly, and it soon reached level 48.

"ah...!"

Garchomp was incredulous and wanted to ask something, but the restless evolutionary power within its body surged, and a white light appeared on its surface. The light grew increasingly dazzling, completely obscuring Garchomp's body and bathing it in the light of evolution.

The Garchomp grew rapidly, soon surpassing Shigeru's height to reach nearly 2 meters, and also became more slender, with its dorsal fin also growing longer.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

As the light faded, a Garchomp with a five-pointed star-shaped yellow spot on its nose appeared.

"Crack!"

Garchomp surveyed its new body. Not only had its perspective changed, but its sickle-shaped fins on its arms had also become thicker. Although its appearance hadn't changed much, its size had grown considerably.

The key is that after evolving into Garchomp, it gains the ability to fly. Garchomp's flight speed is comparable to that of a jet aircraft, reaching a maximum speed of Mach 3. This speed is enough for Garchomp to reach various places in the Sinnoh region in a short time.

.. ..... ...

Of course, if it were to be carried by a man, Garchomp would definitely not be able to fly at full speed, because the human body could not withstand such a speed.

But with only Garchomp as his vehicle, Gary's journey can be sped up considerably.

"I need to buy a cushion, otherwise it's not very comfortable to sit on." Xiao Mao touched the skin on Garchomp's back; it was very rough and even a little prickly.

Gary imagined himself sitting on Garchomp's back, and if Garchomp suddenly braked, his butt would definitely get hurt.

Black Gold City is quite developed. The Pokémon Department Store here sells flying gear. You just need to order a set of flying gear according to Garchomp's physique, it just takes a little time.

Gary wasn't in a hurry. According to Shaymin's migration route, they were still a long way from Flower Garden Town. Shaymin only got lost from the group around the time Ash and his friends arrived in Flower Garden Town.

Judging by the timeline, Gary should have gotten his third badge, while Ash hasn't even gotten his first one yet. However, Ash and his friends should already be heading towards Oakland City, and they'll probably arrive there soon.

Next, Gary used two Medium Rare Candies to level up Garchomp to level 50, and also taught it some moves to enrich its move pool.

After finishing all that, Gary went outside and let Garchomp get used to flying. After all, it had just mastered the ability to fly, so it definitely needed to get used to the state of flying beforehand.

524: An unexpected encounter with Ash and his friends

"Crack!!"

Garchomp was quite excited when it tried to fly for the first time, just like Salamence was when it first took flight.

Furthermore, in the wild, Garchomp and Salamence are competitors, often engaging in aerial battles over food. It remains to be seen whether Garchomp will be able to get along well with Gary's Salamence in the future.

Garchomp flew in the air for more than twenty minutes before coming down, seemingly because it was getting tired.

Gary patted Garchomp on the shoulder and said, "We'll have lunch later. This afternoon I'll take you to the Pokémon Department Store to get some flying gear customized. From now on, I'll be relying on you to carry me around the Sinnoh region."

"Crack!"

Garchomp nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

Xiao Mao touched Garchomp to check its current stats.

【Pokémon "Two-Five-Three": Garchomp♂】

[Attributes: dragon, ground]

【Level: 50】

[Potential: Champion]

【Trait: Sand Cloak (In sandstorm weather, evasion rate is increased by 20%)】

[Skills: Tackle, Dig, Dragon Breath, Stomp, Bite and Cleave, Dragon Claw, Crunch, Double Slash.]

[Inherited Skill: Metal Claws]

[Teach the following skills: Shadow Claw, Rest, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Dragon Pulse, Body Slam, Flame Burst, Iron Tail, Protect, Earthquake, Stealth Rock, Hyper Beam, Aqua Crack.]

【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】

Garchomp's current stats are already quite good; the only thing that makes Blue not satisfied is the lack of a status move to boost its abilities.

Logically speaking, all Dragon-type Pokémon should know Dragon Dance, but Garchomp just doesn't, which is a real disgrace to Dragon-type Pokémon.

Fortunately, there are quite a few Pokémon on the path of Blazing Bite that can learn Swords Dance.

then...!

"System, I want to exchange for the Sword Dance skill."

[Ding! Sword Dance skill successfully redeemed.]

By consuming a selectable permanent skill learner, Xiao Mao acquired the Sword Dance skill.

After teaching Garchomp, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar the Swords Dance move, Gary took Garchomp to the Pokémon Center for lunch.

in the afternoon.

Garyss went to the Pokémon Department Store in Black Gold City and found a place that specializes in selling Pokémon items, where he ordered a set of flying gear.

The shop assistant measured the shoulder height and body width of the Land Rover and told Shigeru that it would take 3 to 5 days to make the flight gear and a week to deliver it here.

Xiao Mao is naturally fine.

Garchomp isn't quite proficient at flying yet, so a week is a good time to train its flying skills. The other Pokémon can continue training without any delay.

After leaving the Pokémon Department Store, Gary would enter his daily Pokémon training mode, but in the afternoon, he would still go out into the wild to look for wild Pokémon.

It wasn't about catching any Pokémon. The area around Black Gold City is mostly populated by Rock and Ground-type Pokémon. Gary wanted to see if he could encounter any Shiny Pokémon. If he didn't, it wouldn't matter; he could just consider it a Shiny Pokémon hunt.

For this reason, Gary specially teleported Gardevoir over, because Gardevoir has the ability to sense the emotions of living beings, and the surrounding Pokémon cannot avoid Gardevoir's search.

As for why Gardevoir is the only choice, it's naturally because Gardevoir is beautiful, and wild Pokémon will naturally be less wary of it.

Unfortunately, the Pokémon that Gary caught in the Sinnoh region, apart from Glaceon, all looked ferocious and menacing. They were not suitable to keep near him, as they would easily scare away wild Pokémon.

Although Glaceon doesn't look scary, the outside climate isn't suitable for it to go out, so Glaceon stays in its Poké Ball when it's not training.

Days passed, and Xiao Mao spent his free time running around the vicinity of the Black Gold Gate.

"Looks like I won't be able to find a Shiny Pokémon." For the past few days, Gary has been searching for wild Pokémon near the Black Gold Gate and Route 207, but he hasn't found a Shiny Pokémon in six days.

However, this area is close to the city, and there aren't many wild Pokémon around. Xiao Shi saw many Pokémon he had seen before. In total, he encountered no more than 100 wild Pokémon in six days.

The real wild isn't like a game where you can endlessly grind Pokémon in a patch of grass and level them up to 100. The number of Pokémon in an area is fixed, especially in the wild and forests near cities, where the number of Pokémon will rarely exceed 100, and even 50 is very rare.

"I'm leaving. I can leave tomorrow."

Xiao Mao has given up on the search. The flying gear will be delivered tomorrow, so there's no need to rush the Shiny Pokémon; we can take our time finding it.

You may have caught a shiny Metagross before, and the shiny charm has respawned. If you want to encounter a shiny Pokémon again, you can start farming from the beginning.

Xiao Mao immediately turned back, and when he reached the Black Gold Gate, he saw three people walking out of it.

Xiao Mao and the three people who came out of the black gold gate looked at each other, and for a moment they were both stunned.

One of the girls asked in confusion, "Ash, Brock, what's wrong with you two?"

"Xiao Mao!!"

Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang said in unison.

"Sho... why are you with Brock? And who is she?" Gary asked knowingly.

"You two know each other?" Xiao Guang asked, looking surprised.

Ash then gave a brief introduction: "His name is Gary, and he's my childhood friend. I came to the Sinnoh region with Gary, but we separated when we were in Sandstone Town."

"Oh, I see." Xiao Guang nodded and said, "Hello, my name is Xiao Guang."

"Hello." Gary nodded, then looked at Brock and asked, "Brock, how did you get to the Sinnoh region?"

"I'm traveling to become a breeder. I happened to be in the Sinnoh region in 2.9, and I met Ash on the way, so I started traveling with him," Brock said.

"Oh, I see. You two are really destined to meet," Xiao Mao said with a smile.

How could Gary not know how Brock met Ash? He clearly met a woman who delivered goods in a truck on the road, and they traveled together to the Sinnoh region. But then he met Ash on the way and was abandoned by her.

Along the way, Xiao Gang even took care of the truck lady's food, clothing, and lodging, and even paid for it out of his own pocket. He was such a swindler.

However, the truck lady was not lucky. Although Xiao Gang was a womanizer, he was still very devoted.

Especially since Xiaogang's family collects stones. How many families can afford to collect stones these days? Those girls are truly blessed but don't know it, missing out on the opportunity to marry into happiness.

525: Xiao Shi's True Strength

Inside the Pokémon Center.

They met Ash and his friends, and together they went to the Pokémon Center in Oregon City.

"Gary, what are you doing in Orichalcos City? Are you here to challenge the gyms too?" Ash suddenly asked.

"I'm here on a trip, and I'll probably try my luck at the gyms while I'm at it," said Shigeru.

"Is the Black Gold Gym Leader powerful?" Hikari asked curiously.

Dawn is currently a rookie trainer. Although she plans to become a Coordinator, she is still very curious about gyms and usually only hears about them from other people.

"Well... I'd say it's strong enough for a new trainer. If you use Pikachu, you can easily take on three opponents at once," Gary commented.

Pikachu: "Pika! (￣▽￣)~*"

"Is Pikachu that powerful?!"

Xiao Guang was startled. Although she had monitored Pikachu's strength, she did not know how strong the Gym Leader was. She found it hard to believe that Pikachu could defeat three opponents at once.

"Pica! Pica!"

Pikachu was quite unhappy with Dawn's questioning. If it weren't for the fact that Dawn had saved it, it would have definitely let her taste the flavor of Electric Shock 11.

"Okay, okay, it was my fault. I shouldn't have doubted your abilities. I'm sorry," Xiaoguang apologized.

"Pickup!"
