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

Page 181

Charizard was taken aback, then nodded, bursting with heat. Streaks of blue flames swirled around its body as it channeled all its power into this attack—it was all or nothing.

"Roar!!"

Charizard slammed its fist into the ground, causing the ground around the giant light dragon to crack open and erupt with a large amount of flames. The flames touched the light dragon and exploded instantly, detonating the giant light dragon.

boom! ! !

The energy surrounding Dragonite shattered, and Dragon Dive was successfully countered.

"It worked!" Xiao Mao was overjoyed. Sure enough, Pokémon only unleashed their power at crucial moments.

"Boo!"

However, Dragonite did not stop and charged towards Charizard at high speed, its fists flashing with lightning.

Are you... really confused?

Just now you know to use Ice Punch when fighting Zapdos, and now you know to use Thunder Punch when fighting Charizard. Are you sure this is how a Pokémon should behave when it's in a confused state?

But no matter what, we must stop Dragonite, otherwise Charizard will definitely lose consciousness after taking a Thunder Punch.

"Gengar...!"

Boom! ! !

Just as Xiao Mao was about to speak, a bolt of lightning struck, hitting the Dragonite directly.

"Boo!!"

Dragonite let out a painful howl, its body tilting straight down to the ground, its eyes rolling back, and it lost consciousness.

"what!"

Everyone was shocked. The Dragonite that had been invincible just moments before was suddenly struck down by lightning.

"Ouch!!"

A roar resounded, a tiger's howl shaking the heavens.

270: Thunder God Takes Action

Everyone looked in the direction from which the roar came, and upon seeing it, no one uttered a sound; all of them looked utterly astonished.

The Dragon Sanctuary is located in a valley, surrounded by mountain walls. On one of these walls, a golden figure stands.

“That’s… Lei Gong!” Kabu exclaimed in surprise.

"It's actually the Thunder God."

Ash and his friends were also surprised. They had been to Erimo City and knew about the three legendary beasts, but they never expected to meet Raikou here.

Xiao Mao was also surprised; he hadn't expected Lei Gong to appear and save him at the last minute.

"This guy...!" Xiao Mao breathed a sigh of relief, even feeling a sense of satisfaction.

I thought Lei Gong was gone, but I didn't expect him to follow me and not go far.

Seeing that everything was resolved, Lei Gong didn't linger. He jumped off the mountainside and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that Raikou had left, Xiaochun immediately realized what was happening and quickly ran over to check on Dragonite's injuries.

Dragonite was not defeated. After the paralysis wore off, it revealed an innocent look in its eyes, looking at everything around it, and then suddenly showed a sorrowful expression.

This Dragonite is the Pokémon of the previous Gym Leader. It is a gentle female Dragonite that has always guarded the Dragon Sanctuary.

"It's okay, it wasn't your fault. It's all over now, you don't need to blame yourself," Xiaochun comforted her.

"Boo...!" Dragonite was still somewhat remorseful, looking resentful. It certainly wouldn't be able to get over it for a while and would need time to recover.

However, the Dragonite in its confused state was incredibly powerful, completely different from its current state.

"Now that everything is resolved, we'll be going."

"Yes, goodbye."

"Bye-bye, meow!"

Once the three Rockets players saw that the matter was resolved, they immediately ran away.

"You guys...!" Kabu was speechless for a moment; the other party was running way too fast.

"Oh no! Dragon's Fang!" Kabu quickly discovered that the Dragon's Fang inside the box he had brought was missing.

"Team Rocket!" Ash immediately realized that Team Rocket had stolen it.

“A thief never leaves empty-handed; we can’t just leave empty-handed,” Kojiro said smugly, still clutching an ancient dragon’s fang in his hand.

"Gengar, use Psychic to retrieve the Dragon Fang," Gary commanded.

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar used Psychic to snatch back the Dragon Fang.

"Damn it, give me back the Dragon Fang!" Kojiro said angrily.

Gengar ignored Kojiro and handed the Dragon Fang to Gary.

"Alright! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash, seeing that he had Dragon Fang, launched a fierce attack with Pikachu.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu unleashed a golden bolt of lightning, instantly striking Team Rocket's trio.

boom! !

With a loud bang, the Rockets trio soared into the sky once more, completing their farewell performance for the day.

Afterwards, led by Xiaochun, the group left the Dragon Sanctuary and arrived at the Pokémon Center in Mozilla City to treat the Pokémon.

"Gary, did you also come here to challenge the Blacksmith Gym?" Ash couldn't help but ask after handing his Pokémon to Nurse Joy.

“No, he didn’t. He beat me a week ago,” Xiaochun said.

"Ah!" Ash was taken aback. He thought Gary had also come to challenge the gym, but found the gym leader wasn't there, so he went to check around the Dragon's Den.

"Xiao Mao, how did you find the Dragon Sanctuary?" Xiao Chun asked.

Although Shigeru was a great help this time, outsiders are not allowed to enter the Dragon Sanctuary. Since Shigeru was here, Tsubaki naturally needed to understand the situation.

"Well... it was Mr. Yulong who took me to the outskirts of the dragon's lair to learn skills. I happened to hear some noise coming from the Dragon Sanctuary, so I came to check it out," Xiao Mao told him truthfully.

"Master Yulong, it's Third Grandfather!" Xiaochun exclaimed in surprise. In Yanmo City, the only person who could be called Master Yulong was Third Grandfather in the family, because only Third Grandfather taught skills.

"What are you talking about? What skills are you going to learn?" Ash grasped the crux of the problem; he really wanted to know what Pokémon Gary wanted to learn.

A skill that even Gary wants to learn must be a very good skill, and Ash thinks it's necessary to know a thing or two about it.

“Explosive flames,” Xiao Mao said.

"Was that the move your Charizard just used?" Ash asked.

“Yes, it’s an ultimate skill,” Xiao Mao said.

"Can I let my Charizard learn it?" Ash asked.

“Of course, as long as you’re willing to spend the money,” Xiao Mao said.

· ·Requesting flowers·· ·······

Upon hearing that it would cost money, Xiao Zhi froze, knowing all too well how expensive it was to learn ultimate skills.

"Miss Tsubaki, that Dragon Master is your grandfather, could you make an exception?" Ash immediately shifted his focus to Tsubaki. He was helping to protect the stability of the Dragon Sanctuary, so learning some ultimate skills for free shouldn't be a problem, right?

Who says Ash is stupid? He's quite shrewd when it comes to money.

"I can't do that. Third Grandfather is a bit eccentric and an elder, so I can't make decisions for him. But I can ask around for you." Xiaochun was a little embarrassed, but considering Xiaozhi's help, she decided to ask around for him.

Shigeru fell silent. He had only said it casually, but Ash actually had the chance to learn a secret technique. This was not good.

...... ..... ....

Gary didn't think Ash's Charizard was bad at mastering special moves, but rather that the timing was bad.

Then comes Celebi's storyline. Its special moves are extremely difficult to learn. It took my Charizard ten days to master them under emergency circumstances.

Even if Ash is the chosen one, it will still take his Charizard at least half a month to learn Blast Flare. This could potentially delay Ash's travels, and if he misses out on Celebi's storyline, what will Professor Oak do?

Xiao Mao didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only wait and see how things developed.

"Then what are we waiting for? Ask her now, Miss Tsubaki," Xiaozhi asked impatiently.

"Alright, I'll take you there."

So, the group left the Pokémon Center and went to the house where Yulong Xian lived.

"Xiao Chun, what brings you to visit your Third Grandfather? And you've brought so many people with you." Yu Longxian saw Xiao Chun arrive with a group of people, clearly indicating that she had something to discuss with him.

"Third Grandfather, it's like this..." Xiaochun told Yulong Xian about what happened in the Dragon Sanctuary not long ago, and also mentioned that Xiaozhi wanted to learn the ultimate skill.

After listening to Xiaochun's account, Yulong Xian looked at Xiaozhi.

"Grandpa Dragon Master, is this alright?" Ash asked nervously.

“Teaching profound skills is no problem, I can give you a discount, 1.5 million,” Yu Long said casually.

"What! One and a half million!" the worker exclaimed.

271: Yu Longxian's Identity

"Good!" Xiao Mao was secretly delighted. As long as it was something that cost money, Xiao Zhi definitely wouldn't learn it.

Ash is incredibly stingy. Forget about a million dollars, he hasn't even paid for Misty's bicycle yet, and he even ate and drank Misty's food and drinks throughout the trip.

Finally, Ash even had an affair with Serena. How could he do that to Misty?

Gary really wants to keep Ash and Misty together, so they won't taint their other sisters anymore.

"Grandpa Dragon Master, are you sure you want a discount?" Xiao Zhi immediately said, "I seem to remember that the cost of learning the ultimate skill is only one million."

"Of course there's a discount. The tuition fees are naturally different. Your friend Xiaomao spent two million to learn. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to learn." Yulong Xian didn't offer a cheaper price just because Xiaozhi helped him.

"Third Grandpa, do you think '987' can be cheaper?" Xiao Chun was a little embarrassed, after all, the tuition was indeed too expensive. Her own dojo also had skill teaching programs, and the tuition was only a few hundred thousand.

“Little Chun, your third grandfather has already given you face by giving you a discount of 500,000. You should know that I have been expelled from the Yulong family, so I need to earn some money for my retirement,” Yulong said casually.
