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

Page 36

Xiao Mao and Na Zi left Hengbin Town and rode their bicycles all the way to Yuhong City.

After a long day's journey, we arrived at a mountainous area where there was very little greenery, only mountains and rocks.

"Ash caught his Primeape here," Gary recalled the surroundings.

Ash's Primeape was encountered in this area on his way to Celadon City. That Primeape had an amazing talent for fighting, and even helped Ash win the P1 Fighting Championship.

In the end, Ash realized that Primeape loved fighting, so he gave it to Fantoo, saying that they would meet again in the future. But it was already the end of the series, Pidgeot had returned, but Primeape never appeared.

The key point is that Infernape has great potential; Gary estimates it has at least the potential to become an Elite Four member. It's such a waste that this idiot gave it away.

Fighting matches can be participated in at any time, so there is absolutely no need to send Primalmon away, especially since Primalmon can evolve further into Forsaken.

Since Ash is destined to release the Primeape, Gary might as well catch it himself, as Gary is currently lacking a Fighting-type Pokémon.

According to the timeline, Primeape has not yet evolved; it is just a monkey monster that usually travels along mountain roads.

Furthermore, this monkey monster isn't afraid of people and even accepts rice balls from Ash and his friends, suggesting it often receives food from passersby, which explains its lack of fear.

Chapter 51: Monkey Monster

The sun gradually moved to the 12 o'clock position.

"Naza, we need to prepare lunch." Xiao Mao saw that it was almost 12 o'clock, and it was time to prepare lunch in advance.

"Ah."

Naz nodded.

The two found a relatively open area, let the elves roam freely, and then began preparing to feed them.

Shigeru and Sabrina were eating curry rice prepared by Mr. Magic, and it must be said that Mr. Magic's cooking skills were quite good.

Moreover, Sabrina's Mr. Mime usually enjoys watching food channels and specifically learns how to make dishes from TV, making her a highly skilled cook.

With Mr. Mime's culinary skills, he's more than qualified to open a small restaurant, which would be packed with customers every day.

Shigeru ate absentmindedly, constantly observing his surroundings. In order to lure the monkey monster out, Shigeru even had Mr. Mime make curry so that the aroma could spread.

"Shigeru, why are you so distracted? Is the curry rice made by Mr. Mime not good?" Sabrina asked.

"No, I was just looking around," Xiao Mao said.

environment???

Nazi looked around. This road was all mountainous terrain with very little vegetation. At most, you could only see a few trees, and the environment was not exactly beautiful.

"By the way, has Mr. Ishibashi contacted you?" Naz asked.

Almost a week has passed since the incident in Konoha City, but Ishibashi still hasn't contacted Shigeru. Sabrina wonders if he's going to break his promise.

"Probably not. If he really goes back on his word, there's nothing we can do, since it was just a verbal promise," Xiao Mao said.

Xiao Mao didn't care at first, but then he thought that so much time had passed and the other party still hadn't contacted him, so maybe they really might break their promise.

It seems I'll still need to find the Pidgeot myself.

However, Gary wasn't worried. If he really couldn't catch Pidgeot, he could just give up on training it and wait until he was strong enough to go deep into Viridian Forest and catch a Pidgeot. He could also learn from Ash and catch it and then release it. The main thing was to complete the mission.

"Then I'll have to find Slowpoke myself..." Sabrina said with some dissatisfaction.

Naza has always had everything she wanted since she was a child, but this time she was broken a promise, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable. However, she also understood that it was just a verbal promise, and since someone was going to break their word, there was nothing she could do.

"grumble!!"

Just then, an affectionate call rang out.

Xiao Mao and Na Zi were instantly attracted by the shouts and looked in the direction from which the sound came. They saw a clump of grass behind a rock not far away, moving slightly. Then, a white figure jumped out of the grass and landed on the rock.

"Monkey!" Sabrina recognized what kind of Pokémon it was and was also surprised that Monkey was here.

Xiao Mao also looked at the monkey monster, and it must be the monkey monster in front of him.

【LV25 Monkey Monster ♂/Near-King】

Aside from the fact that its potential is one level lower than what Xiao Shi predicted, there's nothing different. It's a Pokémon with near-Elite Four potential, definitely worth catching.

"grumble!"

The monkey monster wasn't afraid of Xiao Mao and the other elves at all. It hopped over to Xiao Mao and looked at the curry rice on his plate.

Shigeru originally intended to capture it directly through battle, but since the monkey monster didn't seem to be attacking, Shigeru decided to try a more lenient approach to see if he could capture it.

"Want to eat?"

Xiao Mao handed his curry to the dog monster.

"Chi! Chi!"

The monkey monster didn't eat immediately, but instead came closer to smell the aroma and shouted excitedly; it was this aroma that had attracted it.

"Awoo...Awoo...!"

The monkey monster didn't stand on ceremony and began to feast. After eating one serving, it wasn't enough, so it ate two or three more. With such a good appetite, the monkey monster was also very healthy and strong.

Sabrina was also looking at the monkey monster, wondering why Gary would suddenly be so nice to a wild monkey monster. Gary had never been so friendly to wild Pokémon before.

"grumble!"

Having eaten his fill, the monkey monster was very satisfied. He sat down on the spot and patted his round belly.

We've eaten and drunk.

Now it's time to get to the main topic.

Xiao Mao squatted down next to the monkey monster and asked, "Monkey monster, would you like to be my spirit?"

"grumble!"

The monkey monster was taken aback. It had lived here for some time and had naturally witnessed the process of trainers capturing Pokémon. In fact, many trainers had tried to capture it, but none of them had succeeded.

The main problem is that trainers who want to capture Mankey usually resort to violence right away. This is the first time I've encountered someone like Gary.

"Chirp." The monkey monster stood up and made a squeak, but it was impossible to understand what it was trying to say.

"The Mankey says that you need to defeat it first to capture it, and it only wants to follow a strong trainer," Sabrina translated.

"Okay, then let's rest for a bit and then have a match," said Xiao Mao.

"grumble!"

The monkey monster nodded, its eyes sharpening. It was clear that this monkey monster was taking the battle very seriously, a stark contrast to its previous attitude of coming to beg for food.

Xiao Mao is also growing more and more fond of this monkey monster.

After half an hour.

The battle between Shigeru and the monkey monster has begun.

"grumble!"

The monkey monster shouted loudly, signaling to Xiao Mao to quickly release the spirit.

"Exeggutor, this duel is up to you." To prove his strength, Gary didn't intend to let Alakazam send out the stronger Exeggutor.

"Coconut eggs!"

Exeggutor stepped out of the group and came to stand in front of Shigeru.

"grumble!"

Before the word "start" could be spoken, the monkey monster charged toward the coconut tree without any regard for martial ethics. However, halfway through its charge, the monkey monster suddenly stopped, its body enveloped in a layer of light blue psychic energy, and it floated into the air.

then.

Exeggutor threw the monkey monster directly at a nearby rock. Although surprised, the monkey monster reacted quickly, crossing its arms, covering its hands with energy, and slashing at the rock.

Cross split!

boom! !

The rock was shattered by the monkey monster's cross-shaped slash, avoiding the impact damage.

"Not bad, let's try this move, Seed Machine Gun," Shigeru ordered.

"Coconut eggs!"

The Exeggutor plant sprayed out three green energy seeds, each seed resembling a 5.56 mm bullet, which were launched rapidly.

Faced with such a dense attack, the monkey monster panicked and used both hands and feet to defend itself, its feet moving constantly and its hands grabbing wildly.

However, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat, and the Seed Machine Gun quickly broke through the monkey monster's defenses, forcing it into a series of retreats.

"grumble!!"

Enraged by the repeated hits from the seed machine gun, the monkey monster's rage soared, causing it to lose its reason and pounce fiercely.

"Psychic power!"

The three heads of the Exeggutor released their telekinetic power simultaneously, instantly immobilizing the monkey monster.

Chapter 52: Subduing the Monkey Monster

"grumble!!"

Even though the monkey monster was frozen in place, it continued to struggle, its body trembling constantly, showing that it was using a great deal of strength.

"Calm it down, use hypnosis," Xiao Mao commanded.

"Coconut eggs!"

Exeggutor placed the monkey monster in front of it, and its three heads simultaneously released hypnotic waves.

"grumble...".

The angry monkey monster was affected by the hypnotic fluctuations. Its angry expression vanished instantly, its eyelids began to droop, and it fell asleep not long afterward.

"It doesn't seem to be a motivational trait," said Xiao Mao.

Mankey's primary ability is Energize, and Pokémon with Energize cannot be hypnotized.

This suggests that the Mankey in front of us is most likely the one Ash caught, but we still need to catch it to confirm.

Ash's Mankey knows many powerful moves, such as Rampage and Mega Kick, all of which have a power of 100 or more.
