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

"This...!" Xiaoxia was at a loss; none of the elves she had could use hypnosis.

"Little Gary, do you know any Water-type Pokémon that can learn Hypnosis?" Misty asked.

“Water-type Pokémon… Psyduck can learn it, but you already have Psyduck, so it’s just Poliwag left,” Gary said.

"I don't have any mosquito coil tadpoles..." Xiaoxia said helplessly.

Xiao Mao was taken aback. He remembered that Xiao Xia seemed to have a mosquito coil frog king, which was bred from mosquito coil tadpoles. It seemed that Xiao Xia had not yet caught mosquito coil tadpoles.

"Then go and catch it, or you can see if Ash and Brock have any Pokémon that know Hypnosis," Gary suggested.

"None of the Pokémon I've caught can use Hypnosis," Ash pondered, then suddenly asked, "Gary, by the way, how many Pokémon have you caught so far?"

"Why are you asking this?" Xiao Shi asked, puzzled. Weren't we discussing who had a Pokémon that could use hypnosis? Why did Xiao Shi suddenly change the subject?

"Just ask me, please tell me," Xiao Zhi pleaded.

"10 elves."

"What! You've only caught 10 Pokémon?" Ash exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you surprised about?" Gary didn't understand why Ash was surprised. According to the current timeline, Ash's current number of Pokémon caught is no more than double digits.

"I thought you had a lot of Pokémon caught, but it turns out you haven't caught as many as Orange and Yellow," Ash said.

Chapter 72: Assisting Xiaoxia

"What's the point of catching so many Pokémon? You can only use 6 Pokémon in a competition. Catching too many Pokémon is just a waste of resources. It's better to concentrate your resources on a few Pokémon," Xiao Shi complained.

However, the reason why Xiao Cheng and Xiao Huang caught so many Pokémon is because they wanted to compare the potential of similar Pokémon and choose the one with the highest potential to train.

Do you really think everyone can be like Ash, casually catching a Pokémon with potential exceeding that of a Gym Leader?

Although it's unclear what the potential of Ash's Squirtle and Bulbasaur is, it's likely that they have the potential to become Elite Four members; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to defeat Age of Gods' Pokémon later on.

"You're right, but isn't the point of being a trainer to catch as many Pokémon as possible?" Ash asked, puzzled.

Xiao Mao said with a headache, "That's just kids competing with each other. Besides, spirits need to eat. Can you afford to feed so many spirits you've captured?"

"That's right!"

Ash was taken aback, realizing that raising Pokémon costs money. Ash, who is usually quite frugal, felt that catching too many Pokémon was not a good thing.

"Hey! We're talking about hypnosis right now. Do either of you have a Pokémon that can hypnotize?" Misty interrupted their conversation.

"I do not have."

Xiao Zhi shook his head frantically to indicate no.

"As for me... I remember Zubats can hypnotize, but I don't know if my Zubat can either," Brock said.

"Then hurry up and test it out," Xiaoxia urged.

So, after soaking in the hot spring, everyone went to see if Xiao Gang's Zubat could hypnotize people.

...!

"Zubat, come out!" Brock opened the Poké Ball in his hand.

Baton!

A small supersonic bat appeared.

【LV21 Zubat♂/Near-Elite Four】

Upon seeing the name of the supersonic bat, Xiao Mao's eyelids twitched.

Who is this person? Even a Zubat he casually captured has the potential to become a Champion.

If it weren't for Shigeru's serious search for wild Pokémon with high potential, one would suspect that this world is teeming with potential Elite Four Pokémon, and that Elite Four and Champion potential Pokémon are just around the corner.

Shigeru remembers that Brock caught Zubat at Mt. Tsukimi, and it seems to have been caught in a rather rudimentary way. It's hard to believe that a Zubat caught so casually has the potential to become a Champion. It's truly enviable.

"Ultrasonic Bat, do you know hypnosis?" Xiao Gang asked.

"Squeak." The Zubat nodded, indicating that hypnosis could be used.

"That's great! Can Psyduck be tested?" Misty immediately pushed Psyduck towards her.

"Guba?"

Psyduck looked completely bewildered, not understanding what it meant to hypnotize itself. Its sleep was perfectly fine; it never suffered from insomnia, only lacked sleep.

"Zubot, try using hypnosis to put Psyduck to sleep and give it the command to release its psychic powers," Brock said.

"squeak."

Zubat flew up to Psyduck and, under Psyduck's puzzled expression, used hypnosis.

Zubat's hypnosis is achieved using sound waves. The hypnotic sound waves spread out, and Psyduck is instantly hypnotized. Its eyelids droop and close, and it falls into a deep sleep.

"Psyduck, use telekinesis." Misty tried to command Psyduck, but Psyduck was fast asleep, completely different from the state Sabrina was in when she hypnotized it.

"Why is Psyduck asleep?" Misty asked, looking at Gary and Sabrina in confusion.

Xiao Mao didn't know what was going on either, since he wasn't a hypnosis expert.

"Because Zubat's hypnosis skills are not yet up to par, it can only use hypnosis to put its opponent to sleep, and cannot give commands to Psyduck through hypnosis," Sabrina explained.

"What should we do then?" Xiaoxia thought that having a spirit with hypnosis skills would be enough, but she didn't expect that there would be other requirements for hypnosis skills.

“I can give this Zubat some pointers,” Sabrina said.

Sabrina originally didn't plan to help, but she agreed to help because Gary and Ash are friends.

"Naza, do you know how to teach hypnosis?" Xiao Mao asked in surprise.

“I’m a superpowered person, so isn’t it normal for me to teach hypnosis?” Sabrina said.

Xiao Mao's Alakazam doesn't know hypnosis, and he was having a headache about how to do it. Unexpectedly, Sabrina can teach him. He should have let Sabrina teach him.

Unfortunately, Alakazam has been sent to Oak's lab, and we can only exchange it back when we get to the city.

"Miss Nazi, how long will it take to learn?" Xiao Gang asked.

"I'm just providing a teaching method; Zubat needs to practice on its own. If it can't master it, there's nothing I can do," Sabrina said.

"Sister Nazi, how long do you plan to teach her?" Xiaoxia asked hurriedly.

"That depends on whether Xiao Mao's schedule will be delayed."

As soon as Natsumi finished speaking, everyone looked at Maomao.

"We'll be staying in the hot spring town for three days. Is three days enough?" Xiao Mao asked.

“That’s enough,” Naz said.

"That's great."

Xiaoxia was very happy. With the help of Sabrina and Gary, she believed that Zubat could master the specific uses of hypnosis in a short time.

"On behalf of Zubat, I thank Miss Sabrina for her help," Brock said.

Regardless, Zubat is Brock's Pokémon, and Brock, as the trainer, should also be grateful.

Looking at Xiao Gang's sudden change in personality, Xiao Mao thought that it might be because Na Zi was not old enough and not attractive to Xiao Gang.

Xiao Gang is a top-tier traitor; any woman over 20 is within his hunting range. Unfortunately, he's always too enthusiastic when he meets women, which scares them away. Only women from the Unova region are suitable for him.

Girls in the Kanto region wouldn't accept someone like Xiao Gang unless he's handsome enough, otherwise there's no chance.

"Then take a good rest."

After such a long trip in the wild, I need to rest well for these three days.

As for why they stayed in the hot springs for three days, it was naturally because in the battle just now, Primeape defeated Pikachu and leveled up to level 35, which is the level required to learn Rage Punch.

Once Primeape masters Rage Punch, it has met one of the conditions for evolution. After that, it's time to test how to evolve.

Gary's Primeape has also awakened Rage Punch, so it's time to figure out how to evolve it into Forsaken.

the next morning.

Gary brought his Pokémon to an open area on the outskirts of the hot spring town to begin today's training.

The morning was for physical training. After releasing their Pokémon, they all put on the forced training devices and went to train.

"Infernape, come here for a second." Gary called Infernape aside.

"Milo?"

The Infernape looked at Gary, wondering why Gary had kept it around. Was he going to teach it another new skill?

Chapter 73: The Evolution of Primeape

"Infernape, have you mastered a new skill?" Gary asked.

"Miro!"

The Infernape was immediately startled. It had indeed mastered a new skill, but it had only awakened it during its battle with Pikachu yesterday, and only after the battle was over.

When Primeape was battling Pikachu, it was perfectly normal. But after being attacked by Pikachu, Primeape got angry, and inexplicably, it awakened a new move.

Primalmon originally intended to hide its new skill and surprise its friends when sparring later. It hadn't used the new skill even once yet, so how did Gary know it had mastered it?

"Stop hiding it, show it to me," Xiao Mao said.

"Miro."

Infernape braced itself, its right fist covered in shadow power. With a powerful punch, a gust of wind blew away the surrounding dust, and the shadow power on its fist formed a fist shadow that detached from Infernape's fist and hurtled towards the ground.

boom! !

The fist-sized crater was punched into the ground by the angry fist.

Its power can only be described as average, and the Fist of Wrath is very similar to the Shadow Fist. Both can detach from the fist and transform into the Shadow Fist for ranged attacks.

However, the power of the Fist of Wrath is only 50, which is 10 less than the power of the Shadow Fist.

However, Rage Punch has a powerful effect: in battle, every time Infernape is attacked, the power of the next Rage Punch will increase by 50, up to a maximum of 350 power. That is, after being attacked 6 times, Rage Punch will advance to its strongest power state.

"Miggle."

The fiery monkey was furious. It had just confidently swung its fist, but the power of that angry punch was too weak, almost half the power of a million-ton kick. It was too embarrassing for a monkey.
