Pokémon: Start with a Mewtwo invitation

Chapter 116 Seven Days Later, Tokiwa Gym, Moltres Appears
Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, it was already seven days later.

During these seven days, Xia Mu took Sonia through many towns. During this period, they arrived at Cerulean City and obtained the badge of Cerulean Gym. Then they arrived at Deep Gray City and defeated Xiaogang's father to obtain the badge of Deep Gray Gym.

Xia Mu had no expectations for Hualan City. Just as he expected, the three sisters were of average strength and they took it down easily.

As for the father of Gang from the Dark Gray Gym, Xia Mu originally wondered if he was really a person with hidden strength. However, after a battle, he found out that Gang's father was really weak. Compared with the three sisters from the Cerulean Gym, he was only weaker than them.

The reason why he had this feeling was entirely because he had read quite a few novels in his previous life, all of which described Xiaogang's father, Takenori, as an elite trainer second only to the king level.

There are even some novels that mention martial arts as having special identities...

It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes and felt it for himself that he realized it was complete nonsense.

He was an irresponsible man who abandoned his family to travel in the early days. He failed while wandering around and finally came back alive. Due to his incompetence, he dared not go home and could only sell stones near his home for a living.

Later, Xiaogang forgave Takenori, and Takenori became the gym trainer.

Xia Mu also met Xiao Gang's mother Xiaomi.

As a mother of so many children, she is still a well-maintained woman.

How to say it, Xia Mu felt that this couple was not as smart as he had imagined. Instead, they were a bit stupid and easy to fool.

No wonder Xiaogang is so cautious and unwilling to easily hand over his home to this pair of parents who are like children to him.

At the beginning of the original novel, Xiaogang went on a trip with Xiaozhi, and gave him many instructions and warnings, and even left a thick book of daily life records, because he was worried that something unexpected would happen at home.

Fortunately, everything was peaceful at home while he was traveling. Until later, due to some things, Xiaogang had no choice but to stop traveling and return to his job as a gym trainer.

This is all you did in five days?

Of course, he did more than just these things. Xia Mu also brought Sonia to Hollywood, the once very famous movie city in the Kanto region.

This Hollywood is certainly not that Hollywood.

The first reason for coming here is that Sonia had heard many beautiful stories about the movie city and wanted to watch a movie to fulfill her wish. Although there are not many companies continuing to shoot movies here due to the economic depression, there are still theaters showing new movies.

Xia Mu and Sonia watched a romantic action movie, and then went looking for Miaomiao's dream lover Madonna.

This is the second purpose of coming here.

The original book had a specific plot that told Xiamu where Madonna was, so Xiamu found his target with almost no effort.

Some unpleasant things did happen along the way, because the attempt to tame Madonna was opposed and obstructed by other meows and the cat boss.

Xia Mu is not the type to use force, but he still defeated all the meows and cat bosses without mercy.

Xia Mu didn't feel that he was doing anything wrong in dealing with a group of stray cats who only knew how to steal and rob, and the cat boss who led the cats to do bad things.

These meows and cats are all capable of living independently and well, but they only want to get something for nothing. After being criticized by humans, they not only did not wake up, but became even worse.

In Xia Mu's words, that means being too self-righteous and not thinking about whether there is something wrong with oneself.

Fortunately, Madonna has only joined the team not long ago. Unlike in the original book, Madonna was kept in captivity by the team because she could not survive due to hunger. She has become accustomed to this kind of life.

The choice was given to Madonna, and words were used to let it know that what they were doing was wrong.

Compared to her performance in the original book, Madonna at this time is obviously very smart. She knows that if she wants to return to her previous life of food and clothing, she has to rely on humans.

Being used to a life of luxury, it is difficult to live frugally. In the original work, that was because no powerful trainer was willing to tame Madonna. Compared to wandering with Meowth, it would be better for it to stay in the team. At least it could be a vassal of the big cat, and other Meowth would have to call it "big sister" when they saw it.

After taming Madonna, Xia Mu was not in a hurry to send it back, but kept it with him for a while.

It's not about cultivating Madonna, but about making her what he wants her to be.

I have to say that Madonna is not worthy of training. She is timid and cowardly, has average talent, and apart from being cute, she has no other advantages.

Maybe for Miaomiao, what attracted it in the first place was Madonna's noble temperament, so it was bewitched.

The reason why Miaomiao is still obsessed with Madonna is entirely because of the past experience of not being able to get what she wanted.

In other words, Miaomiao has actually been working hard and climbing up all the time, partly because of the influence of Madonna.

The motivation brought by first love is so huge.

……

Joban City.

Tokiwa Gym.

This is Xia Mu's last stop in challenging the gym.

Sonia is not clear about the situation in Kanto, and Xia Mu will not tell her what he knows, so Sonia will not know the inside story.

After spending more than half a month, they finally arrived here. Natsuki was looking forward to the battle with Sakaki.

Like him, Mewtwo was also in very high spirits. Although it still couldn't appear this time, Natsuki wanted to avenge it and Moltres.

Even if he couldn't do anything, he had to collect some interest first to make Sakaki aware of his existence.

No need for Mewtwo, but Natsuki has already decided to use Moltres.

This is the legendary bird that Team Rocket wants to capture. I wonder how Sakaki will react after seeing it?

As for whether he will encounter any evildoers in the future?
Xia Mu is not afraid at all. He is strong enough to withstand any crisis. He is not afraid of Sakaki taking action, but is afraid that Sakaki will not take action.

After entering the Tokiwa Gym and explaining that they were there to challenge the gym, Natsuki and Sonia were quickly taken to the challenge arena inside the gym.

During this period, the staff obviously reported the news of the challenge, so Sakaki was waiting here in advance.

The condescending posture, with the red wine swaying in his hand, gave people an unparalleled sense of oppression just from his aura.

He is worthy of being the boss of Team Rocket, a true hero.

[That's him! The guy who used me!] Mewtwo's voice echoed in my mind.

[Don't get excited. If you take it seriously, you will lose.] Xia Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and responded to Mewtwo in his heart.

After calming Mewtwo down, Natsuki raised his head slightly and looked at Sakaki who was standing on the second floor.

We cannot lose in momentum, nor can we let others look down on us.

Sakaki was particularly shocked by Natsuki's performance, because very few people could remain calm under his gaze.

Although Xia Mu looked like a young man and didn't look like a young trainer, he had met very few people who could look him in the eye without being affected at all. "There is only less than a week left before the registration for the Quartz Conference ends. I'm really surprised that there are still trainers coming to challenge the gym at this time." Sakaki smiled and stood up, standing on the second-floor platform.

After saying this, Sakaki revealed a hint of ridicule: "No matter how many badges you have collected, unfortunately you have come to the wrong place. The badges of the Tokiwa Gym are not easy to obtain. In the past month, no one has been able to get a badge from me."

"Really? Then I should be an exception." Xia Mu didn't say any more nonsense. Just one sentence made Sakaki's face change slightly and look a little ugly.

"You are such an arrogant boy. I haven't seen a trainer as confident as you in a long time." Sakaki smiled, took out a Poké Ball and threw it down.

As a giant Beedrill appeared, Sakaki spoke again: "The challenge is three on three. As long as you defeat my three Pokémon, you can get the badge."

After saying that, Sakaki drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at Natsuki, and waited for Natsuki to send out his Pokémon.

"No problem." Xia Mu remained calm and saw through the strength of this giant Beedrill at a glance.

【Giant Beetle】

[LV: 60]

[Gender: Female]

[Attributes: insect, poison]

[Personality: Cheerful]

[Features: Sniper (Hidden feature: When hitting a vital point, the power will become stronger)]

[Skills: Random Attack, Double Needle, Poison Needle, Silk Spinning, Hardening, Insect Bite, Continuous Slash, Sharpening, Gathering Qi, Venom Shock, Malicious Pursuit, Poison Spike, Straight Drill, Missile Needle, Poison Attack, High-Speed ​​Movement, Reckless Action, Rapid Return, Deadly Needle Stab, Cross Scissors...]

[Friendliness: 0]

[Emotion: General]

……

The level was not unexpected. Although it reached level 60, it did not exceed level 60.

According to the original work and the game, Beedrill did not appear, but Sakaki's Beedrill in the special episode was really outstanding.

As Sakaki's main force, if Beedrill is at this level of strength, then Sakaki's strength is actually not at the king level, at most he can barely reach the king level.

[So I upgraded Moltres to level 80 ahead of time, which is too much. Let alone level 80, even if it is still only level 65, it is more than enough to deal with Sakaki.] Xia Mu thought to himself.

While thinking, Xia Mu took off Moltres's advanced ball.

"It seems that I had expected too much from Gym Master Sakaki's strength. I also heard from Gym Master Aju that your Beedrill is very strong, but as of now, it can only be considered average." After the teasing words fell, Xia Mu threw the advanced ball.

"Gah-ah~~!!!"

As a sharp cry sounded, the white light transformed into the body of the Moltres, and a scorching flame aura erupted, sweeping across the entire arena.

A powerful pressure descended, without holding back at all.

Moltres had already learned the details from Natsuki, so she knew that her opponent this time was the culprit who had sent people to plot against her.

"Molten?! You, actually have Molten Bird...so..." Sakaki was so shocked that he almost let the cat out of the bag.

That operation seemed foolproof, but a very powerful trainer suddenly appeared and not only disrupted the capture plan, but also wiped out the entire Hunter J team.

In order to rescue these people, he risked being exposed and had his men ambush the Alliance police.

I originally thought that this matter had come to an end, and that it would be gone for a while, and that it would be over after the storm died down.

Now that Natsuki came with Moltres, Sakaki's breathing became a little rapid for a moment.

Was this premeditated? Or did this guy know nothing and just use Moltres to deal with his Beedrill?

Looking at Sakaki's dull expression, Xia Mu knew that the effect he wanted had been achieved.

"What's wrong? After seeing Moltres, is Master Sakaki scared?" Xia Mu continued to tease with a smile.

Scared?
When faced with the divine bird, ordinary trainers would naturally be afraid.

But a cunning person like Sakaki would not do that, otherwise he would not have ordered the arrest.

"Haha~ After seeing your flaming bird, I roughly know your identity. You are the grandson of old man Xia Bo, the youngest and most outstanding descendant of the Xia family...

"In fact, if you have Moltres, you no longer need to challenge gyms to get badges. You can participate in the Quartz Conference by just declaring it. After all, if the tournament officials knew you had Moltres, they would be eager for you to appear with Moltres."

Sakaki rested his hands on the second-floor fence, looking at Moltres with undisguised greed in his eyes.

The power of this flame is indeed strong.

If it weren't for this kid, the power would have already belonged to him.

"But compared to this, I still prefer to participate in the competition in my own way. After all, I have enough strength. What do you think?" With the power of waves, Xia Mu can feel Sakaki's emotional changes more clearly.

No matter how well you cover it up, it's impossible to hide it completely.

Sakaki snorted and turned his gaze to Xia Mu: "What you said does make sense, but I don't think I am a match for you using the Divine Bird to fight against me as a gym leader. You can take the green badge directly."

Seemingly unwilling to get entangled, and knowing that the Pokémon in his hand could not defeat Moltres, Sakaki simply chose to give in.

As expected, he is the man who can control the entire Rocket Team. His IQ is beyond imagination.

He easily took on Xia Mu's move and resolved the current bad situation by directly giving out the badge.

If you don’t fight, you are giving; if you fight, you still have to give, so it’s better to give it directly.

Sakaki has already taken Natsuki to heart and plans to investigate him thoroughly next.

For such a character, even if he took advantage of his loophole to subdue Moltres, it is not something that ordinary people can do to make Moltres obedient.

Sakaki did not doubt the strength of Natsuki's other Pokémon, because Yamato and Kozaburo had already given the answers, and even Hunter J was far from being their match.

Sakaki may not believe in the strength of others, but he knows very well how strong Hunter J is.

That woman is at the level of a superstar. If it weren't for her, the plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly in the beginning.

Look at the current Moltres, it is obviously much stronger than mentioned in the data.

Combined with the previous mention of Aju, the real strength of this kid in front of him is probably beyond the King level, at least he has cultivated a champion-level Pokémon.
