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

However, this kind of thing only happens to weak trainers. Giovanni is the Viridian Gym Leader, so it shouldn't be possible for this to happen to him.

"Who knows what happened? Maybe it's a problem with that elf itself."

"Miss Joey, please heal all my spirits."

Gary handed the defeated Pokémon to Nurse Joy.

"Okay, don't worry." Nurse Joy didn't ask any more questions, handed the Poké Ball to Chansey, and took it to the treatment room.

Shigeru glanced at Nurse Joy, who had regained her composure. Although Nurse Joy was a nurse, they were all members of the Pokémon League and even had connections with the League's investigators. Any information they gathered in the city would be passed on to their superiors.

Gary had been keeping an eye on Nurse Joy from the very beginning, and he was certain that she was a spy for the Pokémon League, specifically tasked with gathering information about anything happening in Viridian City.

Otherwise, Nurse Joy wouldn't have told Gary about the Viridian Gym as soon as she met him. Her purpose was to get Gary to challenge the Viridian Gym so that Nurse Joy could ask about the battle and gather information, regardless of whether Gary won or lost.

Shigeru was aware of this, which is why he deliberately told Joey about his experience at the Tokiwa Dojo.

Gary was wondering if the Pokémon League already knew that Viridian Gym was an important base for Team Rocket and had already begun investigating.

After all, even Professor Oak's database contains information about Mewtwo. In the anime, Dr. Jung developed the Mirage System, which can create Mirage Pokémon. However, the prerequisite for creating a Mirage Pokémon is to collect complete data on a Pokémon before it can be created.

Professor Oak specializes in researching Pokémon data, and his research institute's database contains a lot of complete research data on Pokémon. Dr. Jung wanted to steal the research data from Professor Oak's research institute so that he could conjure all sorts of Pokémon.

It was during this period that the Phantom System created Mewtwo, indicating that Professor Oak had studied Mewtwo and even possessed some complete data about it.

This illustrates that Professor Oak was involved in the creation of Mewtwo. After all, it's impossible to collect complete data about Mewtwo from pictures alone; only by personally participating in the research could one obtain Mewtwo's data.

According to Gary's understanding, there are currently two Mewtwo. One was created by Team Rocket, and the other was developed by a laboratory in the Unova region.

Mewtwo was born and spent most of its time in slumber. Team Rocket's Mewtwo was asleep for a full 10 years before it awoke. During this time, various basic tests could naturally be conducted on Mewtwo, and Professor Oak was probably involved in these tests.

Gary plans to ask Professor Oak properly when he returns to Pallet Town whether or not Professor Oak was involved in Mewtwo's research.

in the afternoon.

While shopping in Viridian City, Gary and Sabrina heard that the Viridian Gym had been blown up and completely destroyed.

It's obvious without even guessing that Ash and Team Rocket were responsible.

At first, Gary was worried that Mewtwo would escape prematurely, which would change Ash and his friends' original storyline. It seems that as long as the interference is not too severe, it will still develop in the normal direction.

"The Team Rocket trio are really tough." Gary admired the Team Rocket trio; they managed to escape twice after he sent them to the police station. They truly deserved to be called the chosen villains.

...!

the next day.

Gary and Sabrina rode back to Pallet Town. Since they didn't plan to collect any Pokémon along the way, they continued on their journey and arrived at Professor Oak's lab at dusk that day.

"Gary, you're finally back." Professor Oak was naturally very happy to see his grandson. After all, Gary had grown up by Professor Oak's side since he was a child. As the saying goes, grandparents love their grandchildren very much.

"Grandpa, it's been a long time," Xiao Mao said.

"Hello, Professor Oak," Sabrina greeted politely.

"Saria, you came along too! Welcome! Welcome!" Professor Oak was even happier to see Sabrina, after all, she was the girl his grandson had brought back.

Although Sabrina is a bit older than Gary, she is a psychic. If she and Gary develop a relationship in the future, from the family's perspective, having another psychic in the family wouldn't be a bad thing.

·· ·······Requesting flowers···· ······

"Grandpa, I'm going to the backyard to see my elf first," Xiao Mao said.

"Alright, go check it out. Your Pokémon are very self-disciplined and train every day," Professor Oak said.

Shigeru nodded and followed Sabrina to Professor Oak's backyard.

"Everyone, come out." Gary released all his Pokémon, except for Zapdos, which he didn't release yet.

"Bah!"

"Bah!"

Before long, two Eevee came running over. One Eevee jumped into Xiao Mao's arms, and the other Eevee, seeing that Xiao Mao's arms were occupied, hugged Xiao Mao's leg.

Both Eevee are Gary's Pokémon.

"Eevee, long time no see. How have you been here?" Gary squatted down and patted the Gym Leader's potential Eevee.

Since this Eevee only has the potential to become a Gym Leader, Gary doesn't plan to train it into an Umbreon.

Shigeru doesn't intend to give up on this Eevee and plans to evolve it into Glaceon, since Shigeru's team is missing an Ice-type Pokémon.

"Eevee, I'm planning to evolve you into Glaceon, what do you think?" Gary said.

"Eevee!" Eevee nodded frantically. It had wanted to evolve for a long time, but because it was carrying the Everstone, it couldn't evolve at all. Now that Gary said he would let it evolve, it couldn't be happier to agree.

"Bee! Bee!" Eevee showed off to the Eevee on Gary's shoulder, indicating that it could finally evolve.

Ibrahimovic: "咘咿! (?へ?╬)!"

Provoked like this, Eevee could only get angry; its inability to evolve was indeed its Achilles' heel.

"Don't get arrogant just because you can evolve. Even if you evolve, you might not be its match," Xiao Mao warned.

"Bah!"

Eevee turned its head away, clearly not believing Gary's words. Pokémon naturally become stronger after evolving, so how could it be weaker than its previous form?

"If you don't believe me, I'll let you evolve later, and you'll see when you spar with it," Xiao Mao said.

"Boohoo!" Ibu nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Bue-ee-ee!" The Eevee on Xiao Mao's shoulder also agreed, wanting to prove that Eevee was no worse than its evolved form.

131: Ice Sprite

"This is the Ice Stone. Now we can take out the Everlasting Stone." Xiao Mao had already bought the top-grade Ice Stone on his way here.

“Buyi”.

Ibrahimovic shook his body, and a round, gray stone fell out of his fur.

Then, Eevee grabbed the Ice Stone, and instantly, Eevee burst into evolutionary light, its body rapidly growing to the size of a medium-sized dog, and a chilling aura emanated from it.

As the light of evolution faded, an ice sprite with entirely blue fur, resembling a fox, appeared.

【LV38 Ice Sprite♂/Near-King】

Eevee successfully evolved into Glaceon, and its potential was raised to the level of a near-Elite Four member.

【Sprite: Ice Sprite♂】

[Attribute: Ice]

【Level: 38】

[Potential: Quasi-king]

【Characteristic: Snow Cloak (When it snows, it uses the snow to conceal the figure of "617".)】

[Skills: Tackle, Tail Wag, Quick Attack, Round Eye, Helping Hand, Swift Strike, Bite, Slam, Ice Shard, Icy Wind, Ice Fang, Snowscape.]

【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】

In the game, the Snow Cloak ability increases a Pokémon's evasion rate, but in reality, it allows you to use the reflection of snow to conceal yourself, making it a pretty good ability.

Ice Sprite was lucky; after evolving, it awakened four ice-type skills, and the snowy scenery perfectly matched Ice Sprite's characteristics.

"Bah!"

Eevee jumped off Grind's shoulder and challenged Glaceon.

"Ice!"

The ice sprite revealed a fierce expression and accepted the challenge.

"Alright, you guys go fight over there, stay far away, and don't let the other Pokémon get caught in the crossfire. Blastoise, you'll be the referee and keep an eye on things," Gary instructed.

"Kami!"

Blastoise took Eevee and Glaceon to an open area for battle.

Gary didn't watch the battles. He naturally left the battles between his own Pokémon to them to resolve themselves; Gary, as a trainer, wouldn't interfere.

Furthermore, Shigeru also wanted to see other Pokémon.

As they entered the woods, they saw Butterfly, Exeggutor, and Furball. Upon seeing Shigeru arrive, they immediately rushed out and surrounded him.

Dog trainer, you haven't come to see us for so long, we've surrounded you...!

【LV45 Exeggutor♂/Near-King】

【LV40 Butterfree♂/Gym】

【LV30 Pom-Pot♀/Elite】

Gary looked at the three Pokémon. Exeggutor had grown to level 45, and its strength had improved quite a bit.

Due to its inherent potential, the level of the Butterfly starts to slow down after reaching level 30, but it is still quite good to grow to level 40.

As for Pokémon, Gary only uses it to collect shiny Pokémon, so he doesn't care whether Pokémon is strong or not. In addition, Pokémon is living very well here. Its body has become much rounder than before, and it looks like it is about to evolve.

Gary then looked at Pidgeot, Arcanine, Forsaken, Crobat, and Magnemite, and they were all doing quite well.

However, Gary was having some trouble with Arcanine, because the Arcanine that Officer Jenny gave him was only Elite level, and even with a Superior Fire Stone, its potential could only be raised to Gym level.

A Pokémon with high gym potential can only grow to level 49 at most, after which it cannot grow any higher. At this level, it can easily fight in gym battles, but participating in the League Conference will be more difficult.

Although the strength of the contestants in the League Tournament varied, the trainers who made it into the top 32 were generally at or above the Gym Leader level, and some even had one or two Pokémon at the near-Elite Four level.

Arcanine's potential is not enough for Gary to use it in battles later on, and items that can increase its potential are very rare. However, Gary really likes Arcanine and doesn't want to give it up. He can only wait until he gets items like the Bronze Crown to increase Arcanine's potential and slowly improve it.

However, Arcanine cannot be used in battles at the moment; it can only be used in gym battles.

Crobat faces the same situation as Arcanine, but Gary uses Crobat as a tool Pokémon, as Black Eyes is a very useful move that makes it easier to catch Pokémon.

After reuniting with all his Pokémon, Gary and Sabrina returned to Professor Oak's lab.

Upon returning, Shigeru saw Glaceon looking unwell and Eevee looking energetic. Clearly, Eevee had won the battle between Glaceon and Eevee.

"Eevee!" Eevee ran to Shigeru's side, a smug look on its face, wanting Shigeru to praise it...

Instead of praising Eevee, Xiao Mao went to Glaceon's side and comforted it, saying, "You only lost one battle. You're just not familiar with your newly evolved body yet. Once you get used to it, Eevee might not be able to beat you."

"Ice." Ice Sprite nodded, indicating that it would challenge Eevee to a battle after it had practiced hard.
