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

Moreover, there is an ancient people in Liuli City called the Liuli People. The descendants of this people are actually the same as the Meteor People, but they were left in Liuli City and renamed the Liuli People in order to protect the Meteor People.

Mikoli is a descendant of the Glass People, but he doesn't care much about the responsibilities passed down within his clan and basically ignores them.

Upon arriving above Liuli City, you'll see that it sits within a white volcano crater. The reason the volcano is white is that the magma inside disappeared 1000 years ago. The volcanic rocks are white because they have been eroded by seawater and rainwater over a long period of time.

"It really has an artistic feel to it."

Gary walked around Sootopolis City. The architectural style inside was very artistic, which explains why it was able to cultivate so many excellent Coordinators.

· ·Request flowers·· ·········

The most powerful trainer in Sootopolis City is undoubtedly Wallace, followed by his mentor Adam. Both of them are trainers and coordinators. It can be said that most trainers in Sootopolis City are coordinators, who pay great attention to the coordination and elegance of their Pokémon.

Enjoying the scenery of Ruri City along the way, Shigeru found a restaurant near the lake and sat down at a table close to the water.

Sitting here, you can see the giant tree in the center of the city. This tree has existed in Lilac City for hundreds of years. In the game, this tree was a gift from the giants of the Carlos region, and there is an eternal flower at the foot of the tree.

This eternal flower was naturally left behind by the petals and stem, and that giant was the Eastern King of the Carlos Empire.

. ... 0

In order to revive the deceased Huayedi, the Eastern King sacrificed the enemy kingdom and many innocent lives, bringing Huayedi back to life and even gaining eternal life himself.

Because too many innocent lives were sacrificed, Huayeti left Dongwang. Dongwang was in great pain after losing Huayeti and could not die. He could only wander in the Carlos region and then wander all over the world, becoming a homeless man named AZ.

Although he was said to be wandering, AZ had actually been searching for the whereabouts of Flower Leafy, and the big tree he gave to Liuli City was also a tree that Flower Leafy liked.

However, the storyline in this world is a bit different. The ultimate weapon created by AZ did not appear in the Carlos storyline. Shigeru even learned that this ultimate weapon did exist, but it was destroyed 300 years ago.

At that time, the people of the Carlos region were collectively overthrowing the imperial system. The final weapon was destroyed during that period, and the imperial system was also disintegrated at that time, leading to the establishment of the Carlos League.

From this perspective, the final weapon will be destroyed, AZ must have intervened, and Huayedi should have forgiven AZ. The two may already be living happily together.

After filling his stomach and resting in the park for a while, Shigeru went to the Glass Dojo.

The Ryuri Dojo is built like a cathedral, with a blue roof and white stone pillars around it. The patterns on each pillar are carefully carved, making it look like a work of art.

429: Glass Dojo

"Let's see Adam's strength first."

Shigeru isn't in a hurry to challenge the gym; he wants to see Adam's strength first.

Adam is Wallace's mentor, and his strength should not be underestimated. Ash battled Adam, and in the end, he only managed to win by a narrow margin thanks to Pikachu. This shows that Adam can send out Pokémon with near-Elite Four or even Elite Four level strength.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Glass Dojo, a system task was issued.

[Ding! Mission issued: 1. Obtain the Glass Dojo Badge / Rewards: 5 Advanced Rare Candies, a permanent Rock Tomb TM, and 1 Superior Mystic Water Drop!]

[2. Obtain the Sooty City Gym Badge using Hoenn region Pokémon / Rewards: 5 Super Candies, TM for Water-type Pokémon (permanent), 1 Random Battle Effect Item.]

"Premium Magical Candy...!"

Seeing that the mission reward is a high-grade magical candy, it can be confirmed that Adam's Milotic is definitely stronger than a Champion, and may even be at the Champion level.

"Forget it, let's use Latios."

Xiao Mao initially thought that Adam's Pokémon level was too high, so he would upgrade his own Pokémon's strength. However, considering that apart from Milotic, the other Pokémon's levels were not very high, he realized that with Latios as a trump card, he could still fight directly.

After thinking it through, Shigeru went to the doorbell next to him and pressed the unique Poké Ball-shaped doorbell.

"Young man, please wait a moment, I'll be right there," a voice came from the loudspeaker at the door.

Since the other party asked him to wait a moment, Xiao Mao waited silently.

A few minutes later, the door opened loudly, and inside was an elderly man dressed in a butler's uniform, who looked to be in his sixties.

Adam's dojo and home were in the same place, so he specially hired a dojo master who also took charge of the dojo assistant's work.

"Hello, I am Sebastian, the butler and assistant of the Glass Dojo. May I ask what brings you here?" Sebastian asked.

"Hello, I'm Gary, a trainer from the Kanto region. I'm here to challenge the Sooto Gym."

"So it's a gym challenge. Please follow me."

Knowing that Shigeru had come for a reason, Sebastian led Shigeru into the gym. After confirming Shigeru's identity, he notified Adam.

Upon arriving at the dojo's grounds, we saw Adam already there.

Adam is a very elegant person. He wore a navy blue evening gown and had his bangs dyed white, making him stand out. This is typical of a Coordinator, who loves to dress up in a flashy way.

Michael's flamboyance is clearly a direct result of Adam's influence.

"Hello, I am Adam from the Glass Dojo." Adam introduced himself politely.

"Hello, my name is Shigeru, and I'm here to challenge your dojo," Shigeru said.

"Shigeru...have you met Michael?" Adam suddenly asked after Shigeru said his name.

Xiao Mao was also a little surprised; it seemed that Mikoli had told Adam about his situation.

"Yes, I have seen it. Is there a problem?" Xiao Mao asked.

“There’s nothing wrong. I just heard from Michael that he met a very nice junior. I’ve heard everything Michael told me about what you experienced on the Sea Violet. You saved Michael, and as Michael’s master, I naturally have to thank you properly,” Adam said.

“That’s what I should do, Mr. Adam, you’re too kind,” said Xiao Mao.

Although it's unclear what Adam's social status is in the Hoenn region, being able to build such a gym suggests he must be of high status, and he might even get a Mega Stone for free.

"After the gym battles are over, Gary can have a good time in Sootopolis, and all expenses will be on me," Adam said.

Xiaomao:? ? ?

After all that, it turns out it's just the cost of the trip. Do you really think you're as easy to deal with as Ash and his friends, that a few meals will do the trick?

"Hehe, when is the match?" Xiao Mao immediately changed the subject, realizing that Adam wouldn't give him anything good, so he should hurry up and start the match.

“We can start now.”

"Then let's get started."

After saying that, the two went to stand in the command area.

Xiao Shigeru looked at the arena in front of him. It was a water arena, and there were two floating platforms on his side, which were meant to be convenient for challengers.

Sebastian, standing in the referee's area, announced: "The Gym Battle between Gym Leader Adam and Challenger Ash will now begin."

"This gymnasium challenge will use 5 Pokémon. Please choose two Pokémon for the first double battle. The first round ends when both Pokémon on either the Gym Leader's or the Challenger's side are unable to battle."

"Next, the Pokémon that won the doubles match will continue the second round of the match. The second round is a 1-on-1 duel. The match ends when one side's Pokémon are all defeated. Also, only the challenger has the right to substitute Pokémon."

Sebastian gave a long introduction, explaining that the Sootopolis Gym has two battle formats: first, a double battle where both sides send out two Pokémon to battle; after the opponent defeats both of their Pokémon, the battle is paused, and then a 1-on-1 singles battle takes place.

"Xiao Mao, did you understand?" Sebastian said all this, naturally for Xiao Mao's benefit.

"understood."

Shigeru nodded. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was all to test the trainer's reaction ability.

"Then the gym challenge officially begins."

The words fell.

Adam took out a Poké Ball.

"Alright, let's begin. Go, Deviljho and Goldeen." Adam threw out two Poké Balls.

Great!!

A plump, blue-furred sea lion appeared in the pool, next to a horned goldfish king. The two creatures looked chubby and had a kind of endearing clumsiness.

【LV40 Sea Lion♂/Gym】

【LV45 Goldfish King ♂/Gym】

Neither of the two Pokémon is very high level; they are both at the Gym level.

Shigeru really wanted to send out Bosscopter, but this venue was clearly unsuitable.

"Gardevoir, Swampert 2.9, you two go!" Gary threw out a Poké Ball.

Great!!

【LV44 Gardevoir♀/Elite Four】

【LV39 Swampert♂/Elite Four】

Gardevoir and Swampert landed on the floating platform.

"Bring it on, Xiao Mao," Adam said calmly.

"Alright! Gardevoir, use Precognitive to attack Goldeen."

"Swamp Monster approaches Deviljho and uses Power Punch!"

At her command, Gardevoir's beautiful eyes emitted a blue glow, sending telekinesis to a point in the future.

Swampert jumped directly into the water and swam quickly toward the sea lion.

Gary's first target to defeat is Dewprik. Dewprik is an Ice-type Pokémon, vulnerable to Fighting-type moves, and hasn't evolved to its final form yet, making it the easiest to deal with.

430: VS Adam! Doubles

"Goldfish King attacks Gardevoir with Waterfall."

"Sea Lion, wait for Swampert to get close, then use Ice Ball to block it."

Upon hearing the sound, Goldeen emerged from its body and leaped into the water, rushing quickly towards Gardevoir. Swampert and Goldeen sidestepped and came to the front of Dewprika.

"vomit!"

The sea lion had already condensed an ice ball the size of a yoga ball, waiting for Swampert to burst out of the water so it could launch it immediately.

Boom!

Swampert overpowered all magic with a single punch, shattering the ice ball. The broken ice shards scattered and splashed onto the Deviljho, but were all blocked by the Deviljho's thick layer of fat.

Swampert's offensive didn't stop. It chased after them and unleashed another Power Punch, knocking the Deviljho back into the water.

Meanwhile, Goldeen burst out of the water and charged straight at Gardevoir. Gardevoir remained calm and teleported to the opposite platform. Then, it used Psychic to restrain Dewprich.

"Great opportunity! Explosive Fist!" Shigeru commanded.

"Swamp!"
