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

"Shigeru, who is she?" Ash ignored Masaru's words; he was more curious about the girl next to Shigeru, whom he didn't recognize at all.

"My name is Higanbana, I come from Corasic City, and I'm a rookie trainer," Higanbana introduced herself.

“A new trainer, just like May,” Brock said.

Upon hearing Xiaogang's words, Xijiana immediately stared at Xiaoyao, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Hehe... Hello, my name is Xiaoyao." Xiaoyao felt a little nervous under Xijiana's gaze, so she had to introduce herself first.

“Since we’re both new trainers, let’s have a Pokémon battle,” said Higanbana.

"Huh, battle?" Xiaoyao was stunned. She had only been a rookie trainer for a few days and had never thought about battling.

"What? Do you want to refuse?" Higana said, displeased.

She really wants to battle against other trainers, and May is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"May, just say yes. It'll be a good opportunity to see Torchic's strength. You'll have to face it sooner or later anyway," Ash said.

"Yes, sister, please agree." Xiao Zheng was also looking forward to seeing Xiao Yao's trainer level.

"Alright, then I'll agree to fight you." Seeing that so many people were suggesting that she take the lead, Xiaoyao simply agreed.

"Then you can start now. I'll prepare lunch for everyone," Xiao Gang said.

So Xiaogang took on the responsibility of being the head chef, while Xiaomao and the others used a relatively wide area near the river as their battleground.

"How do you want to fight?" Xiao Mao naturally acted as the referee.

"I only have one Pokémon, so I can only accept one-on-one battles," May said.

1v1 is good. Cici only has one Shellder Dragon to fight with, while May only has one Torchic, which is no match for Shellder Dragon.

“Okay, then it’ll be one-on-one,” Higana agreed.

"Alright, then please send out your spirits."

As the flower fell, Higanbana eagerly threw out a Poké Ball.

"Go, Shellder!" Higanbana immediately threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

Ankylosaurus makes its appearance.

"Whoa!! Shellder!" Xiao Zheng was immediately surprised. As a native of the Hoenn region, he naturally knew that Shellder was a very strong Pokémon.

"Shellion?" May, a complete newbie, really didn't know what Shellion was, so she immediately took out her Pokédex and scanned Shellion.

Pokédex entry: "Shellion, a Dragon-type Pokémon. Inside its hard shell, cells are changing and forming a new body. Because the shell is very heavy, it moves slowly."

"It's so slow..." May thought to herself that her Torchic was quite fast, so dealing with a slow-moving Pokémon shouldn't be a big problem.

"Torchic, it's your first battle, come out." Although May is a bit weak, she is still Senri's daughter and has seen many gym battles, so she still has the air of a trainer.

Baton!

"Moo!"

Turkeys are very cute, just like little chicks, and they look so pitiful.

"What kind of Pokémon is this? It's so cute!" Higanbana was also charmed by Torchic's appearance and took out her Pokédex to scan it.

Pokédex entry: "Torchic, a Fire-type Pokémon, has a part of its body that allows it to burn, making it very warm and cozy to hold. Its entire body is covered in fluffy feathers."

334: Let's have a friendly competition.

Seeing that both sides had sent out their Pokémon, Gary announced, "Then... let the battle begin."

"Torchbear, use Ember Attack!" May commanded.

"Moo!"

Torchic's body was engulfed in flames, and it spewed a shower of sparks at Shellder. Shellder stood still, taking the hit without any harm.

"What! She's alright!!" Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise.

"Your Torchic's Ember is too weak, watch ours!" Sigana commanded, "Shellion, use Headbutt!"

The Shellder Dragon charged up in place, then lunged forward, charging towards Torchic. Torchic immediately jumped up, leaping two or three meters high, dodging the Shellder Dragon's headbutt.

"Great, use Ember!" May immediately launched a counterattack. Torchic landed and spat Ember in retaliation. Although it hit Shellder, it didn't have much effect.

Although there is a significant level difference between the two, the Shellder Dragon is too slow, making it very difficult for it to hit the agile Torchic.

"Shell Dragon, with your terrifying face," Higan-na commanded.

"Hum!"

The armored dragon gave Torchic a fierce look, which startled Torchic.

"Very good, use dragon's breath."

The Kabuto spewed a green dragon breath at Torchic, and Torchic, following May's command, used Ember. The two moves collided, Ember was consumed, and Torchic was also hit by the dragon breath.

"Moo!!"

The turkey let out a mournful cry, collapsed to the ground, and was instantly killed.

"What!!" Xiaoyao couldn't believe it. They were fighting back and forth at the beginning, so how come Torchic couldn't even block a single attack from its opponent?

"I won!"

Higana was very pleased with herself, having won her first battle since leaving Meteor Village.

Gary was quite helpless. Although both of them were rookie trainers, Cyndaquil had been raising Shellder for longer than May, and May had only had Torchic for less than a week. The two were simply not on the same level.

"Torchic, are you alright?" May wasn't too upset; instead, she was more concerned about Torchic's injuries.

"It's just lost its ability to fight, a spray of healing medicine will do." Shigeru walked over, took out a bottle of healing spray from his pouch, sprayed it on Torchic a few times, and Torchic woke up.

Upon waking up, Torchic realized it had been defeated and immediately wore a dejected expression.

"Torchicken, don't be discouraged, it's just a battle," May comforted him.

Torchic was still dejected. It really wanted to beat the Armored Dragon, but unfortunately, it couldn't even withstand a single attack from it.

"Torchicken, don't be discouraged. Shigella's Shellder was bred from a Beast, so there's a big difference in level. If you train hard for a month or two, you'll be able to surpass Shellder," Gary said.

"Moo?" Torchic was a little skeptical. That Shellder was so tough; its skills couldn't hurt it at all.

“Of course it’s true. Shellders have high defense. Once you evolve into a Powerpuff, with your speed and agility, you can easily toy with a Shellder,” said Gary.

"Moo!" Torchic began to dream about its evolved form, which would allow it to easily defeat Shellder.

"If you want to evolve, then you'd better work hard, Trainer. I believe you'll evolve soon."

After calming the turkey down, everyone started helping Xiaogang prepare lunch.

"Everyone, come out." Ash released his Pokémon.

Gary also saw Brock and Ash's Pokémon.

Taillow and Treecko were naturally Pokémon that Ash caught in the Hoenn region, while Forretress was bred by Brock in the Johto region. When Brock came to the Hoenn region, he brought a Forretress with him.

But... Gary was puzzled. Why didn't Ash release Latias? Did Latias not follow Ash?

"Gary, you actually caught a Grovyle!" Ash was also paying special attention to the Pokémon Gary caught. When he saw Grovyle, he was quite surprised, as he knew that Grovyle was the evolved form of Treecko.

“Yes, I went to the Treecko Forest. You caught your Treecko there too, right?” Gary said.

"Yeah, is your Forest Lizard one too?!" Ash exclaimed, stunned.

“Yes, I also wanted to catch your Treecko, but it didn’t want to leave the forest, so I caught another one,” Gary said.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

"Choo moo!" Treecko realized that the Forest Lizard was its companion and was quite surprised that its friend had evolved.

"Cha!" The forest lizard also showed the tree tree the leaf blade on its wrist, indicating that it was much stronger than before.

"Choo!" Treecko immediately protested, declaring that it would spar with the Forest Lizard later to show it that even without evolving, it could still defeat the Forest Lizard.

"Yes!" The forest lizard remained calm, indicating that there was absolutely no problem.

"Huh? Are Treecko and Grovyle going to battle?" Ash asked, puzzled.

"Don't you know?" Xiao Mao said, "The two of them grew up together and are rivals."

"Is that so?" Ash was also very surprised. He never expected that his Treecko and Gary's Grovyle were rivals.

0.....0

"Alright, let's have a battle after dinner." Ash's fighting spirit was immediately ignited; it had been a long time since he had a battle.

Since the Silver Conference ended, Ash hasn't had a proper battle with anyone, especially after learning that Treecko and Grovyle are rivals. Just like Ash and Gary's relationship, it wouldn't make sense if they didn't have a battle.

"Sure, but do you only have three Pokémon right now?" Gary asked.

"Yes, I only brought Pikachu with me to the Hoenn region this time. Taillow and Treecko are Pokémon I caught in the Hoenn region," Ash said.

"Didn't Latias come with you?" Shigeru asked.

Anyway, everyone here is trustworthy, so there's no problem telling people about Latias.

"Latias? What kind of Pokémon is that?" May asked.

“Latias is a legendary Dragon-type Pokémon.” After saying that, Hiljuna stared at Ash and asked in confusion, “You also have a dragon scent on you, very similar to the scent on Gary.”

"The smell of a dragon..." Ash was also puzzled, not understanding how Cynthia could smell the dragon; it was even more sensitive than a dog's nose.

"Latias, I've put it at Professor Oak's lab," Ash said.

"you...!"

Xiao Mao didn't know what to say. You finally got a legendary Pokémon delivered to your door, and you just threw it into the warehouse. You're such a country bumpkin.
