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

Page 204

It's been a week since the Silver Tournament ended, and now that it's overseas, who would remember who the Silver Tournament champion was?

The two didn't say much about the arrogant Xiao Mao; they thought it was fine if he didn't participate.

After registering, Ash went to the teleporter and contacted Professor Oak's lab, asking Brock to teleport Totodile over. Then they began to tour Altomarai and enjoy the local delicacies.

Xiao Shige spent the entire journey sightseeing, looking here and there, hoping to find Latias.

Latias is very mischievous and likes to transform into a young girl and wander around the city. Unfortunately, Latias doesn't seem to be in this area today and hasn't shown up.

Xiao Shi wasn't worried; with Xiao Zhi's succubus body, how could he not encounter legendary Pokémon?

After resting overnight in Altomare, the water race began the next morning. Ash and Misty were entangled on the floating platform specially used for the competition, holding reins in their hands, one end of which was tied to their respective Pokémon.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. The summer festival of Odomare is here, and as is customary, the annual elven water race is about to begin."

The surrounding area erupted in enthusiastic cheers from residents and tourists.

"Pickup!"

"Bah!"

Pikachu and Eevee are also cheering on Ash and Misty.

"Who will ultimately win the prestigious Odomare Glass Award? Let's wait and see."

As soon as the words were spoken, three natural finches and one natural bird rented the starting light. The three natural finches all stood on the natural bird's head. Every second, one of the natural finches would spread its wings. Once the natural bird spread its wings, the competition would officially begin.

In an instant, the water-type spirits that were in the water swam rapidly like wild horses.

Totodile and Ash took the lead, Misty followed closely behind, and a bunch of other contestants were close behind.

"Pica! Pica!"

Seeing Ash take the lead, Pikachu excitedly jumped around, but lost its footing and jumped off the bridge.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Mao were both confused, but fortunately Xiao Zhi took the lead and managed to pass through the bridge hole and catch the falling Pikachu. In this way, Pikachu also joined the competition.

Xiao Mao pouted. "Totodile was already struggling enough just with Ash, and now they have to add Pikachu to the mix. It's going to be a lot of pressure."

Unfortunately, the water races are not broadcast on video; they have to swim a long loop along the Odomare waterway back to the starting point before the race is over.

The race wasn't long. About ten minutes later, two figures appeared on the final straight. It was Xiaoxia and Rossi. Xiaozhi had already disappeared without a trace.

305: The Legendary Infinite Sprites

"Was she kidnapped by Latias?" Shigeru wondered to himself.

According to the original storyline, Ash first met Latias during a water race, but Ash didn't notice Latias.

"It's here! A contestant has caught up! It's Ash and his Totodile! Oh my god, Ash has overtaken Misty and Rossi! The champion is about to emerge!" the host exclaimed.

Shigeru immediately looked at the three people rushing towards the finish line and saw Little Sawtooth using his light-footed skill to walk on water. Others could not see anything unusual, but Shigeru did.

【LV60 Latias♀/Near Legendary】

Xiao Mao saw a name appear above the totomato and follow it. Just as the totomato was about to reach the finish line, another name rushed towards it and landed directly on top of the Latias name.

【LV65 Latios♂/Legend】

Latios grabbed Latias and flew towards the alley entrance, with the little totoro naturally following uncontrollably to the alley entrance as well.

"Oh no, the little tortoise has gone out of control and veered off course!" the host exclaimed in surprise.

Finally, only Xiaoxia and Rossi remained to compete. Their Pokémon were neck and neck, with no clear winner. The difference between them was very small, and it looked like they were crossing the finish line at the same time.

According to footage captured by a sports camera, when slowed down several times, it can be seen that the sun coral's horns crossed the finish line first, so the final winner is Xiaoxia.

Afterwards, Rossi, who won the runner-up, very kindly invited Xia to ride on his boat to celebrate.

In Odomari, taking a boat trip costs money, just like taking a taxi in the city. However, the boat trip is very expensive, and Xiao Mao didn't want to be ripped off.

After celebrating Xiaoxia's victory, everyone found Xiaozhi and rode on Rossi's boat to visit the Grand Canal. Along the way, they saw statues of Latios and Latias, and Rossi gave everyone a special explanation.

"Shirley, do you know these two Pokémon?" Ash asked curiously.

Ash knows Gary very well. Gary has known about many Pokémon since he was a child. Before the Pokédex was available, whenever Ash encountered a new or unusual Pokémon, he could always get an answer by asking Gary.

“I know, Latios and Latios are legendary Pokémon. They are very fast, around Mach 4, and they can be found in various regions. The only known information is that their scales can make them invisible, and some trainers have even caught Latios,” said Gary.

"What! Someone has subdued Latias!!" Rossi exclaimed in surprise.

Ash and the others were also very surprised, not expecting that someone could catch a legendary Pokémon. But then they thought about it, and realized that Gary had also caught one, so they weren't too surprised.

"I don't know. I looked at my grandfather's database and saw detailed data on Latias. With such detailed data, they must have captured or subdued Latias."

Xiao Shigeru said, "Given my grandfather's personality, if it's an illegally captured Pokémon, he definitely won't conduct research on it. So the only possibility is that he caught it."

Ash and his two friends nodded thoughtfully. They had all met Professor Oak and trusted his character.

After touring the Grand Canal, Rossi took Ash and the others back to the city and told them about a great pancake shop nearby that they could try.

As a girl, Xiaoxia naturally loved this snack. After getting off the boat, everyone excitedly headed to the pancake shop.

"Huh? Where's Little Smart?" After buying the pancakes, Xiaoxia suddenly realized that Little Smart was gone.

"Should we go look for Ash? He might be lost," Gary said.

According to the storyline, Ash should have met Latias and also battled Sana and Lian from the story.

"It's okay, Xiaozhi will find us soon. He's always so slow, which is why our planned trips are always delayed by a few days," Xiaoxia said nonchalantly.

Gary knew about Ash's problem, but Ash was really in trouble this time. Is this really a good thing for you guys to do?

Sure enough, a short while later, everyone saw Ash standing on the rooftop.

"See, I told you so."

Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi on the rooftop and shouted, "Xiaozhi, the pancakes are getting cold!"

"After you finish eating, we're going to the cathedral," Xiao Gang said.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

Standing on the rooftop, Xiao Zhi looked puzzled. A girl had been leading him around the city, but suddenly they were back at the starting point, and the girl had also disappeared.

Xiao Zhi didn't think too much about it and quickly came down from the rooftop to his friend's side. Xiao Gang also handed Xiao Zhi a pancake.

Having just done some exercise, Ash was a little hungry, so he ate heartily and even shared some with Pikachu to try.

"Sho, where did you go just now?" Gary asked.

"I went to find Pikachu, and then I saw a girl being bullied by two adults, so I stepped in to help," Ash said.

"Oh? Where is that girl?" Xiaoxia asked immediately.

0 .. 0

"After I saved her, she dragged me around the city, wandering around and around until we arrived at the rooftop, and then she disappeared," Xiao Zhi said.

"Really?" Xiaoxia asked skeptically.

When they found Xiao Zhi, they didn't see any girls with him.

"Of course, you can ask Pikachu if you don't believe me," Ash said.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu nodded frantically; it had also seen the girl.

"Maybe they have something to do. Xiaozhi, hurry up and eat. We still need to visit the cathedral," Xiaomao urged.

"Ah."

Xiao Zhi didn't think much of it, since the girl had already escaped and didn't need any help.

After finishing their pancakes, the group went to visit the cathedral.

The cathedral in Odomare is open to the public and attracts many tourists every day. Its interior is luxuriously decorated, with even ancient elven fossils used as flooring, showing that they are certainly not short of money.

Before long, an old man named Ben Gray came to Ash and the others and explained the history of the cathedral to them. He was a staff member of the cathedral and was in charge of introducing the things inside the cathedral to visitors.

With Bengrave's detailed introduction, the group arrived at a tower-shaped device.

"This is the device that can control the ocean," Xiao Shigeru thought to himself.

In the movie, it was this device that triggered the tsunami. If the device had been destroyed beforehand, it's uncertain whether the tsunami would still have occurred.

306: Latias requests assistance

"This device seems to have been built for peace, but no one knows how to use it yet. It's said that this cathedral has been renovated many times, but the device itself is said to have been here from the very beginning...!"

As everyone listened to Bengal's explanation, Ash noticed a red-haired girl on the second-floor corridor. The girl was the one Ash had rescued not long ago.

"Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, Xiaoshi, you guys go back to the Pokémon Center first, I have something to do." After saying this, Ash ran off.

"Ash...!"

"what happened?"

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were both confused, wondering why Xiaozhi had suddenly become so strange.

Only Shigeru knows what Satoshi has been doing.

Of course, he was going to have a romantic date with Latias. Unfortunately, he mistook her for someone else. The girl was actually Canon herself, not "Zero 20" Latias in disguise.

"Let's go back to the Pokémon Center and wait for Ash," said Gary.

Having finished visiting both cathedrals and basilicas, and after a busy day, Xiao Mao needed to rest to prepare for any unexpected events that might occur that evening.

As for Ash, let him have a proper date with Latias.

...!

evening.

Ash didn't return to the Pokémon Center until almost evening.

"Xiao Zhi, where have you been? You're so late, we were worried about you," Xiao Xia scolded.

"Sorry, I saw the girl I met this afternoon, but I couldn't find her. I got lost in the city. If I hadn't run into Canon, I might not have been able to get back," Xiao Zhi explained.

"Is that right?"

Gary walked up to Ash and stared at him with a questioning look.
