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

"Mushroom, come back." Without any hesitation, Xiao Mao immediately recalled the mushroom.

Even with elemental advantage, it's useless for a level 16 player to fight a level 43 player; the opponent can definitely kill the mushroom in one hit.

Dujuan didn't expect Xiaomao to be so decisive. As soon as he saw the North Face, he immediately replaced the Mushroom, without even having time to use Rock Blockade.

"Latios, it's yours now." Gary threw out the Poké Ball.

Baton!

【LV65 Latias♂/Legendary】

"What... Latios!!" Dujuan was stunned. She never expected that Shigeru would send out a legendary Pokémon. Who exactly was Shigeru in front of her? How could he capture a legendary Pokémon?

"Block the north-facing nose with rocks," Du Juan quickly regained her composure and immediately gave the order.

"Dragon Pulse!" At the same time, Shigeru issued the command.

The two Pokémon unleashed their skills, and massive rocks appeared above Latios, falling downwards. Ignoring the falling rocks, Latios channeled energy from its mouth and spewed a dragon-shaped energy blast towards Nosepass.

boom! ! !

Boom! ! !

The two attacks hit each other, kicking up a cloud of dust. When the dust settled, North Nose had already fallen, while Latios was floating in mid-air, unharmed except for a little dust on his body.

"North Nose is incapacitated; Latios wins!"

"The gym battle is now over, and the winner is challenger Shigeru."

With the referee's announcement, the dojo battle came to an end.

"Latios, come back." Shigeru quickly recalled Latios.

After all, legendary Pokémon are too conspicuous, so it's best to use them sparingly. Originally, Shigeru didn't want to use Latios, but that girl, Cuckoo, doesn't know any martial ethics.

I clearly stated that I only needed to catch Pokémon in the Hoenn region, but you little girl sent out a Gym Leader-level Pokémon. Aren't you making things difficult for me?

"This is the Rock Badge, the symbol of defeating the Rustboro Gym." After the battle, Cuckoo walked up to Gary and handed him the Gym Badge.

"Thank you."

Xiao Mao thanked him and accepted the badge.

[Ding! Mission complete. Rewards have been sent to your inventory.]

"Farewell."

After receiving the badge, Xiao Mao didn't talk to Du Juan any longer and turned to leave.

Du Juan watched Xiao Mao disappear at the entrance, muttering to herself, "Looks like this Rainbow Spirit Gathering will be quite an event."

...!

After leaving the Rustboro Gym in 2.9, Gary opened his inventory to see what items would affect random battles, but he was completely baffled when he opened the system inventory.

[Thunder Stone Evolution Stone (Allows Evolve Razer to Mega Evolve!)!]

"What?! A Super Stone?!"

Xiao Mao was confused, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the Super Stone was also a kind of item that affected battles.

If that's the case, there's a certain probability that you'll randomly get a Super Stone in the future.

"Why is it Electabuzz..." Gary was very troubled. Electabuzz is a Pokémon unique to the Hoenn region and is the original Electabuzz. If it weren't for the introduction of its Mega Evolution form, it would have been forgotten long ago.

Even if Evolve has Mega Evolution, it's still useless. After Mega Evolution, its ability becomes Intimidate, but Intimidate is only effective when it enters the battle.

To undergo Mega Evolution, you first need to release Raiden and perform Mega Evolution, so Raiden is pretty useless.

321: Devon Corporation

"Whose ace Pokémon is Evolve?"

Shigeru thought that the deadly trainer's ace Pokémon was Electivire, so he could use an Electivire evolution stone to trade for other Mega Stones with him.

But upon closer reflection, it seems that among trainers with some reputation, only Iron Whirl's ace Pokémon is Electrike.

Tetsuya is the head of the Violet Gym in the Hoenn region. He is an old man who is nearly 70 years old. When he was young, he was an engineer and had quite a bit of wealth.

The key issue is that Tie Xuan, this old man, doesn't have any other super stones.

"How about... asking Daigo? No way!"

Shigeru thought of Steven; Devon Corporation must already be researching Mega Evolution, and might even have Mega Stones inside.

If the Raiden Evolution Stone were to be sold to Steven, Steven would likely be very willing to pay for it. However, if it were to be used to exchange for other Mega Stones, he would probably be unwilling.

But this is just Xiao Shi's guess. For the company, research data is very important, and Devon Corporation would probably be happy to spend more money to research new Mega Stones.

Unfortunately, Professor Oak wasn't interested in researching Mega Evolution, otherwise Gary could have considered getting Mega Stones from his grandfather, Eleven.

Currently, in the Kanto region, only Dr. Fuji has conducted in-depth research on Mega Evolution. Mewtwo's ability to Mega Evolve is also related to Dr. Fuji's research on Mega Evolution.

It is estimated that when creating Mewtwo, Dr. Fuji used the research results he had made on Mega Evolution on Mewtwo. This can explain why Mewtwo can Mega Evolve while Mew cannot.

"Let's go to Devon Corporation and see." Shigeru decided to try his luck at Devon Corporation, believing that they would value the data of Mega Evolution and would be willing to make the trade even if it meant taking a loss.

"What skill should I choose for this optional skill?" Then, Shigeru began to think about which Rock-type skill to choose.

Originally, Shigeru wanted to choose between the skills Invisible Rock and Sandstorm, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that real battles are not games. There are many ways to dispel Invisible Rock and Sandstorm, and it is not necessary to rely on specific skills to remove them.

"System, select the Rockfall skill."

[Ding! Successful selection. You have obtained the Rock Slide permanent skill learner.]

In the end, Gary chose Rock Slide because there are quite a few Pokémon that can learn it, and Rock Slide is also very useful, allowing for wide-range attacks.

After choosing his skills, Xiao Mao went to the restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, Xiao Mao went to the Devon Building.

The Devon Building is the headquarters of Devon Corporation, and it even has a research lab inside. The fossil research lab is located in the Devon Building. As long as you have fossils, you can bring them over and pay a little money to have them restored.

During lunch, Xiao Mao also browsed some news about Devon Corporation online.

As Xiao Mao guessed, Devon Company has begun researching super stones and is currently acquiring all kinds of rare stones, with prices negotiable in person.

Devon Company was also cunning; they claimed to be acquiring rare stones, but in reality, they were trying to see if they could acquire super stones.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Mao went to the Devon Building alone. Since he didn't have a work badge, he was naturally stopped by the security guard at the entrance.

"Young man, this is Devon Company. Outsiders are not allowed to enter," the security guard reminded him.

"I saw the news that Devon Company is going to acquire Qishi and can conduct the transaction in person. What? Is the news fake?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Oh, it's a rare stone. Please wait a moment while I make a call." Upon hearing that Xiao Mao was there to sell rare stones, the security guard immediately made a call to his superiors.

Shortly after the phone call, a woman in uniform came out of the building. After handing over the call to the security guard, she learned that Xiao Mao was there to sell rare stones and then pushed Xiao Mao into the Devon Building.

"Little friend, I haven't asked your name yet." On the way, the woman asked Xiao Mao for his name.

“My name is Shigeru, and I’m from the Kanto region,” Shigeru said.

"Kanto region, you actually came all the way from such a far place..." the woman said in surprise.

Although the acquisition information released by Devon Corporation covers the whole world, the people who come to sell their rare stones are all from the Hoenn region. So far, no one from other regions has come to sell their rare stones.

"I came here to attend the Rainbow Festival. I saw the announcement from Devon Corporation and came over," said Xiao Mao.

"That's it."

The woman nodded.

At this moment, the elevator arrived at the top floor, and the woman led Xiao Mao to a luxurious room, which was the chairman's office. Inside were two people, an elderly man and a handsome young man.

Shigeru knew them. The older man was named Zivchi Mujin, and the younger man was named Zivchi Daigo. They were a father and son, and the heads of Devon Corporation.

"Daigo is here too!"

Shigeru thought Daigo was digging for rocks in some remote corner, but it turns out he's still in Kanazawa City.

"President, young master, this is the trainer who's here to sell rare stones," the woman introduced.

“Okay, you can go about your business now,” Daigo said.

"Yes."

The woman nodded and left, departing from the chairman's office.

"Please take a seat."

Daigo invited Shigeru to sit down on the sofa.

Shigeru didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa. He took the opportunity to look around at the 037 decorations in the room. He had to admit that Daigo was really a big spender. It was just an office, but he had decorated it to be more luxurious than a presidential suite.

When Daigo and Mujin saw that Shigeru was looking around like he had never seen the world before, they thought that Shigeru should be easy to manipulate. If the strange stone he brought was the super stone they needed, they could get it at a low price.

Mulan gave Daigo a look, and Daigo understood immediately, asking, "May I ask what your name is?"

“My name is Shigeru, and I’m from the Kanto region,” Shigeru replied.

"Kanto region!" Daigo, like his secretary, was very surprised that Shizuka had come from such a far place.

Daigo didn't ask Gary what he was doing in the Hoenn region, and went straight to the point: "Gary, can I see the strange stones you brought?"

Shigeru originally thought that the person he was talking to would be a researcher, but he didn't expect it to be Daigo himself, which shows that Daigo values ​​Mega Evolution very much.

"no problem."

Shigeru took out the Raiden Evolution Stone and placed it on the table.

When Daigo and Mujin saw Shigeru pull out the Evolve Stone, they were shocked, but their faces remained unchanged. After all, one was the chairman of Devon Corporation and the other was the former champion of the Hoenn League. They had long since developed the ability to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of them.

322: Exchange Super Stone

"Can I take it and observe it?" Daigo asked.

"can."

Gary had complete confidence in Steven's character. Just the fact that Steven didn't take back the Ancient Stone after it was stolen by Frass proved that Steven was a person who understood right and wrong and would never steal his own Mega Stone.

Daigo immediately took out a magnifying glass, picked up the Evolve Stone with his right hand, and examined it carefully with the magnifying glass.

Under magnification, the willow-leaf-shaped Mega icon inside the Mega Stone can be clearly seen. Daigo can confirm that this is the Mega Stone, and one he has never seen before.

Daigo didn't observe it for long before putting the Super Stone back on the table and asking, "Shigeru, I'm very satisfied with this rare stone. How much do you plan to sell it for?"
