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

"There's nothing I can do, that's just how it is. I'll pay your phone bill for now, but I'll be leaving after the Rainbow Tournament, and you'll have to take care of the bill yourself then," Xiao Mao reminded him.

"I know, I will definitely save money carefully."

Ever since Xijiana realized the importance of money, she has been saving it all, keeping all the money she wins from gambling, and using Xiaoshi's money for food and drink.

Xiao Mao didn't mind; he considered it as repaying a favor.

Moreover, the rainbow meteorite in Meteor Village can (bbcj) create super stones.

Xiao Shi has quite a few Pokémon that can Mega Evolve.

In the special manga, Higanbana's grandmother gave Gardevoir and Gallade Mega Stones to others, suggesting that Meteor Village not only has Rainbow Meteorites but also Mega Stones.

Genji, one of the Elite Four of the Hoenn League, visited Meteor Village when he was young, and his Salamence evolution stone most likely came from Meteor Village.

If we take good care of Higanbana, we might even get a Mega Stone from her grandma for free.

After resting for a day in Mauville, Gary and Higanbana head to LavaCover Town, but to get there, they have to pass through Mt. Chimney.

...!

Chimney Mountain is an active volcano, but it doesn't erupt. Many fire-type spirits live around it.

Gary is currently missing a Fire-type Pokémon among his captured Pokémon, and his target is Torchic.

Coincidentally, Torchic exists near Mt. Chimney, and Shigeru wants to see if there are any Torchic with high potential.

Since the last bronze crown has already been used by Ralts, the Torchic that has been captured must have the potential to reach the level of an Elite Four member.

The famous Elite Four member, Mura, lives in LavaCover Town. He is a Fire-type Elite Four member, and most of his Pokémon were caught in Mt. Chimney.

Xiao Mao plans to first look for wild turkeys, and if he can't find any that he likes, he'll go to the turkey breeding center in Fubuki Town.

There is a place on the outskirts of Blazeeville where Torchic are raised, specifically to provide Torchic to new trainers. Any surplus Torchic are also sold to the public.

It must be said that the starter Pokémon provided by the League of Pokémon Breeding have very good potential.

For example, Little Shigeru's Blastoise.

Ash's Charizard was also provided by the League Breeding House, but Charizard's initial trainer was too incompetent, so he abandoned Charmander.

Higanbana was only interested in Dragon-type Pokémon, so she focused on training Shellder Dragon and Tyranitar along the way.

Because of his keen insight, Shigeru discovered a problem.

That is because the level of the Dragon-type Pokémon in Higanbana's hands increases very quickly.

Three days ago, Higanbana's Armored Dragon was only level 37, and now it's level 38.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mao's Adolphin is only level 36, and this leveling speed completely surpasses Xiao Mao's Pokémon.

However, Gu Niu Niu doesn't have any level, but even so, it can be seen that Xi Gana seems to have a special ability, like the dragon-type Pokémon beside her, which can accelerate her growth.

Based on the leveling speed of the Hilgana sprite, it is estimated that the Armored Dragon will reach level 40 in about a month.

The baby Tyrannosaurus might also reach the required level for evolution, level 39.

"Shigeru, how much longer are we going to stay outside?" After staying near Chimney Three for three days, Shigeru didn't go up the mountain. Instead, he searched for Torchhounds near the foot of the mountain.

After searching for three days, they did find some Torchic, but Shigeru said that these wild Torchic had no potential and he didn't manage to catch a single one.

"No rush, give me three more days. If we can't find it, we'll leave," Xiao Mao said.

Gary needs a Fire-type Pokémon from the Hoenn region, so he doesn't want to leave easily.

“Alright, then I’ll give you three more days.” Higana didn’t have any objections, since the travel expenses were all covered by Xiao Mao.

Without Shigeru, Higana can't go anywhere, and she doesn't even have the money to take the cable car.

Three days.

Gary found another brood of Torchic, a female Mighty Chicken taking care of three Torchic. Their potential was only at the Elite level, and Mighty Chicken was only a Gym Leader, which was far from meeting Gary's requirements.

"Sigh, it seems that it's still hard to find wild high-potential turkeys."

I searched for almost a week at the foot of Chimney Mountain, but still couldn't find the turkeys I wanted, so I had to spend money to buy them from the breeding center.

The next morning.

Shigeru and Higanbana boarded the cable car and decided to go to the top of the mountain, and from there take the mountain path on the other side to reach Furen Town.

Because of the harsh environment of Chimney Mountain, the cable car departs at fixed times, once at 9 am and once at 3 pm.

If you miss your train, you'll have to stay overnight at a hotel near the station and continue your journey the next day.

Of course, if you think you're really good at it, you can choose to hike up, but the mountain path is rugged, and you might not even reach the top after a whole day of climbing.

364: Encountering Ash and his friends again

"Wait for me!"

Just as the cable car was about to depart, a familiar voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people came running from afar.

The one leading the race was Ash, followed by May, Brock, and Masahiro.

"Ah, we're here!"

"I'm exhausted, I can't run anymore."

Ash and his friends boarded the cable car, but May and Max, who hadn't traveled much, were exhausted from the journey.

Ash was completely unharmed. After looking at the situation inside the cable car, he exclaimed, "Gary! Cassiopeia!"

Xiao Gang and his two friends immediately looked up and saw Xiao Mao and Xi Jiana sitting on the bench.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect to run into you here," Xiao Mao replied.

Gary wasn't surprised to run into Ash and his friends.

After all, both of them are going to challenge gyms, and their travel order is similar, so it's normal for them to run into each other along the way.

"I didn't expect to run into you either. You must be here to challenge the LavaCover Gym, right?" Ash said.

Ash defeated the Mauville Gym three days ago and then rushed over. Knowing that the cable car departs at 9 o'clock, he set off early in the morning, hoping to challenge the Lava Citadel Gym as soon as possible.

"Wait for us, the cable car over there."

"We want to ride too."

Suddenly, a man and a woman ran into the cable car, along with an elderly woman with a hunched back.

Ash and his friends didn't think anything of the three people who suddenly rushed in; they treated them like strangers.

Only Shigeru recognized that it was the Rockets trio.

Because the old woman with the hunched back had the name of an elf on her head.

【LV30 Meow Meow♂/Normal】

Even without mentioning the meow meow, the hair color of Kojiro and Musashi is enough to clearly identify them.

"Haha, sorry to bother you!"

The Rockets trio didn't immediately launch an attack; instead, they found a corner to sit in.

The cable car started moving at that moment.

Seeing that the cable car was moving, Shigeru didn't intend to attack the Team Rocket trio. In fact, the three guys couldn't say anything either.

Meanwhile, the Rockets' trio gathered at the edge, secretly discussing something.

Kojiro whispered, "What do we do? Shigeru, that wolf-destroyer, is here too."

Musashi said, "Let's observe first before taking any action."

Meowth: "Although Gary is very strong, his Pokémon are very powerful. If we take them back and present them to Giovanni, we will definitely get a promotion and a raise."

Upon hearing Meow Meow's suggestion, Musashi and Kojiro immediately began to imagine their wonderful future life.

Ash and his friends, along with Gary and his friends, were admiring the scenery of Mt. Chimney, completely ignoring Team Rocket.

Even Xiao Mao didn't take them seriously.

The reason we didn't take it to heart was because everyone was on the cable car.

Musashi and Kojiro didn't have any powerful Pokémon; their Pokémon seemed to be Seviper and Spurious Cactus.

The Spathiphyllum is only so-so in strength, while Kojiro's Gymnocalyc is quite good and has high potential, and it has even caught the eye of the Nagae.

Kojiro is a rebellious son. He doesn't want to be a proper young master of the Sasaki family and insists on joining Team Rocket.

Gary thinks that the Rocket Team's frequent escapes from prison are not only due to the Rocket Team's help, but also likely because James's family has put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

Beep beep...!

Halfway through the cable car's journey, an alarm suddenly went off inside.

To everyone's astonishment, the cable car stopped moving and hung on the ropes.

"Huh? What happened?" Xiaoyao asked in confusion.

"Looks like there's been an accident; the cable car's alarm went off just now," Xiao Gang said.

Team Rocket was also dumbfounded. They hadn't even made a move yet, so why was the cable car malfunctioning? Even if they managed to steal Pikachu now, they wouldn't be able to escape while they were in mid-air.

"Oh, there's a phone call."

Xiao Gang saw the emergency contact number inside the cable car and immediately went over to make the call.

Everyone looked at Xiaogang with hope, but when Xiaogang dialed the number, no one answered, and no one knew what had happened.

"It's not working, no one's answering," Xiao Gang said.

"how could it be possible?"

"Then what do we need to do to get out of here?"

Are we going to be trapped here?

Xiao Zhi and his two friends, acting in unison, caused some truly terrible trouble.

"No, no, let me do it."

Musashi, being an impatient person, snatched the phone from Xiaogang's hand and kept dialing for help, occasionally punching the phone twice.
