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

Page 291

"I've found you a good opponent this time, come out!" Xiao Mao took out a pink healing ball and threw it out.

Baton!

"Hmm~!"

Latios, with its streamlined shape resembling a jet aircraft, makes its appearance.

【LV66 Latios♂/Legend】

Latios...!

Adam was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that Gary would send out a Pokémon like Latios, a mythical Pokémon!

Even Sebastian, who was usually expressionless, showed a look of astonishment.

"I never thought I'd have a chance to fight a legendary Pokémon. Gary, let me see Latios's strength." Adam was also excited at this moment.

Opportunities to battle against legendary Pokémon are rare, and Adam was eager to see just how strong Gary's Latios was.

433: Latios vs Milotic

"Mr. Adam, it's time for my attack!" Shigeru reminded him.

"bring it on."

Adam's previously calm expression turned fanatical.

"Alright! Latios, use Psychic!" Gary immediately commanded.

"Hmm~!"

Latios' eyes emitted a blue light, unleashing a powerful psychic attack on Milotic.

Milotic, being of enormous size, was directly struck by the invisible and colorless Psychic, but managed to withstand the attack thanks to its strong Special Defense.

Adam deliberately subjected Milotic to psychic attacks, mainly to test Latios's strength. Seeing his Milotic in pain, he realized that this Latios was definitely no weaker than his own Milotic.

"It's our turn to fight back, Milotic, use Blizzard!" Adam commanded.

"Dodge it, then use Dragon Pulse," Gary commanded.

Latios immediately flew into the sky to dodge, and Milotic twisted its neck and chased after it with a blizzard, but it couldn't keep up with Latios' speed at all.

This is still within an enclosed space, where Latios' speed is limited. In a more open location, Latios' speed could be increased.

"Such explosive power!" Adam also noticed this. There are many elves that can be this fast, but it takes time to accelerate to reach this speed in an instant.

"Well!!"

After dodging the blizzard, Latios unleashed a dragon-shaped wave.

Boom! !

The dragon-shaped wave hit Menas, causing an instant explosion, and the water in the pool spread outwards wildly.

As the smoke cleared, Milotic remained unharmed in the pool, its beautiful eyes fixed on Latios in the sky.

Xiao Mao: Smoke but no injury?

"Did it hold?" Seeing that Milotic hadn't sustained any new injuries, it must have used Protect to block the Dragon Pulse.

"Latios, change Milotic's properties and use a simple beam," Gary commanded.

Latios immediately unleashed a mysterious psychic wave at Milotic, the iridescent wave rushing towards Milotic.

"Water tail."

Milotic's tail was coated with a layer of water and lashed forward, but the water tail touched the Simple Beam and passed right through it. The Simple Beam hit Milotic, but did not cause any damage.

"Should we start reducing Milotic's power?" Adam wondered to himself.

Simple Beam is a transformation skill that can change the target's characteristics to simple.

The effect of the simple ability is that the change in ability is twice as strong, whether it is an increase or a decrease. As for why Gary did this, it is naturally because Milotic can only master Coil and Dragon Dance.

Both of these ability transformation skills increase physical attack, but Milotic is a special attacker, so they are quite useless. The only thing that can be used is Coil, which can increase accuracy. It's just unknown whether Adam's Milotic will be able to use Coil.

“Minath, use Coil!” Adam commanded.

The slap in the face came so quickly.

It's alright, though. Coil increases physical attack, physical defense, and accuracy. Latios is a special attacker, but with increased accuracy, Milotic's moves can easily hit Latios.

While Milotic was boosting its power, Gary quickly commanded, "Use Thunderbolt!"

"Well!"

Latios unleashed a Thunderbolt, hitting Milotic, which was boosting its power. Milotic withstood the Thunderbolt thanks to its strong Special Defense.

Adam remained calm and didn't seem to care about Milotic's injury, but the next second, Adam panicked.

"Restore the blockade!" Xiao Mao commanded.

"What!" Adam was shocked, but it was too late.

Latios used Regeneration Lockdown, emitting light from its body. This light did not cause any damage, but circles of light formed around Milotic, completely surrounding it and blocking Milotic's regeneration ability.

"I've really been tricked. It seems that this Xiao Mao knows my Milotic very well," Adam thought to himself.

Adam wasn't worried because Milotic could regenerate itself, but now, due to the Regeneration Lockdown, this regeneration ability is no longer usable.

"100,000 volts!" Shigeru commanded.

"Frozen Beam!" Adam immediately retorted.

Both spirits unleashed their skills.

The golden lightning collided with the cold beam of light. The violent lightning power easily suppressed the frozen beam, but could not destroy it. It exploded during the suppression. Milotic was only affected by the impact of the explosion and was not seriously injured.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

"snowstorm!"

With the boost from the coiled attack, Milotic analyzed the optimal attack route and unleashed a blizzard into the sky.

"Cleanse the light!" Shigeru commanded.

Latios unleashed a dazzling pink energy beam that pierced through the blizzard in the cold wind and struck Milotic's body.

boom! !

"Woo!!"

Milotic let out a wail and was blasted several meters away.

"How did the power suddenly increase so much!" Adam frowned.

Just now, both Thunderbolt and Ice Beam resulted in Ice Hands, so why was Blizzard completely overwhelmed in this skill clash?

That's for sure. Latios just used Thunderbolt, which doesn't have any attribute or item bonuses, so it naturally ended in a draw.

. ... 0

Equipped with a perfectly curved spoon, Latios' Cleanse Beam can unleash a power of 185. Milotic, being a single Water-type, doesn't benefit from Blizzard, so it's naturally no match for it.

"Continue the attack, Cleanse the Light!" Shigeru continued to command.

"Use Milotic to surf into the sky!" Adam knew he couldn't win the fight, so he immediately told Milotic to dodge.

Milotic rode the wave and leaped into the air, dodging the attack of the Cleansing Light.

"Fly around Milotic and look for an opportunity to use 100,000 volts!"

Latios rushed toward Milotic and flew around it. Although Milotic had the ability to fly, its speed was no match for Latios.

Latios used his superb flying skills to confuse Milotic, then took advantage of the situation to land below Milotic and unleash a golden bolt of lightning.

Snapped! !

Golden Lightning commanded Milotic to knock it into the water. Under continuous attacks from Latios, Milotic was severely injured and was clearly on the verge of death.

"Final strike, Cleanse Light!" Shigeru commanded.

"Milanos, use Water Cannon!" Adam realized this was the last time they would fight, so he also ordered Milanos to use Water Cannon.

Latios unleashed a dazzling beam of light.

Milotic spews out a powerful jet of water.

The two skills clashed in mid-air, with both sides unleashing their full power and pouring all their energy into their abilities.

Boom! !

A mushroom cloud covered the field.

434: Collect all the badges and prepare for the Rainbow Tournament

Both Shigeru and Adam watched the situation unfold calmly.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the lineup of two Pokémon was revealed. Latios floated in the air, looking down at the pool below.

The water in the pool had spread outwards due to the impact of the battle, and the water level inside had visibly decreased. In the center of the pool, Milotic floated on the surface, its eyes circling around.

"Mildac is unable to battle, Latios wins!" Sebastian announced. "All of Gym Leader Adam's Pokémon are unable to battle, the winner of this Gym battle is challenger Gary."

The final gym battle in the Hoenn region has finally come to an end.

Of all the gym battles he'd fought, Shigeru felt this one was the most difficult, even harder than the finals of the League Tournament.

“I lost to you both times, you’re amazing,” Adam praised.

“Mr. Adam, you’re too kind. You’re very strong too. Apart from Milotic, your other four Pokémon aren’t your main Pokémon,” said Gary.

“You’re the same way. Latios probably isn’t your strongest Pokémon either,” Adam said.

Xiao Mao nodded slightly, which was taken as an admission.

"This is the Raindrop Badge, proof of defeating the Sootopolis Gym. Now that you've collected all the badges, enjoy your trip around Sootopolis City." Adam handed his family's Gym Badge to Gary.

Xiao Shigeru accepted the badge.

[Ding! Mission complete. Rewards have been sent to your inventory.]

"Yes, then I'll take my leave." Shigeru replied, turned around and left. Sebastian even came out to see Shigeru off.
