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

"Are there only Psychic-type Pokémon?"

"Yes."

"Can it be improved significantly?"

“No,” Naza shook her head. “There’s only a chance of improvement, and I don’t know how much it will improve. That’s what the book says.”

Currently, the potential detection for Pokémon can only be detected up to the Gym level. The potential beyond the Gym level cannot be determined. The key issue is that the data collected on Pokémon is not detailed enough. As more data is collected, we will be able to determine the potential of a Pokémon more accurately.

After all, the species of elves are different, so each elf has its own potential assessment criteria. Generally, one needs to be extremely familiar with the elf to accurately assess its potential.

Sabrina's method can only be used on Psychic-type Pokémon, but it's unclear how much it can boost a Pokémon's potential.

Gary also believed there was a chance, since when he battled Sabrina, Sabrina's Abra evolved into Kadabra in battle, and its potential didn't change at all.

Xiao Mao thinks this might be related to Eevee itself. Eevee's genes are very unstable and easily affected by external factors, so the probability of its potential increasing after evolution is greater.

Of course, these are all Xiao Mao's guesses, and the specific conclusions can only be determined through experiments.

"Let's not talk about that. Did you get your badge?" Sabrina knew that Gary had gone to challenge the gym this morning.

"Of course I got it," said Shigeru. "Now that we have the badge, let's head to Cinnabar Island."

"Are there any gyms on Crimson Island?" Sabrina asked.

“Yes, the Cinnabar Gym is very strong. Its research institute is dedicated to training stronger Pokémon, and it's a place many trainers aspire to be,” said Gary.

This was the first time Sabrina had ever heard of Crimson Lotus Island; she hadn't expected it to be so prestigious.

Chapter 108: Reencounter with Ash

"Are the trainers at the Crimson Lotus Gym very strong?" Sabrina asked.

"Well... I can only say that it used to be very powerful, but because it was too powerful, no one dared to challenge the Crimson Lotus Gym anymore, and it has declined in recent years. On the contrary, it has become a famous tourist and leisure destination because of the hot springs on Crimson Lotus Island," said Shigeru.

"Is it similar to the hot springs in the hot spring town?" This was the first time Naza had ever soaked in a hot spring, back in the hot spring town.

"Yes, and because of its unique geographical location, the hot springs there are volcanic hot springs, which have a strong beautifying effect," Xiao Mao said.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s set off this afternoon,” Naz said.

Having experienced a hot spring resort once, Naz really enjoyed soaking in the hot springs. Especially after hearing that volcanic hot springs might have some effects, Naz couldn't wait to go.

"Okay, let's take a cruise then," Xiao Mao said.

"A cruise ship? This area isn't near the sea, so where would a cruise ship come from?" Naz asked, puzzled.

"Of course, we'll fly to a city with a sea. You forgot that my fossil pterosaur is skilled in flight. The nearest port city is only about an hour away."

"Then let's pack our bags quickly."

After saying that, the two went back to their room to pack their luggage. Once the elf had recovered at Nurse Joy's, they would leave Azure City.

Sabrina and Shigeru, riding on a fossil pterosaur, quickly arrived at a nearby port city. Coincidentally, a luxury cruise ship was docked nearby and would also pass by Cinnabar Island.

Xiao Mao and Na Zi bought their tickets and boarded the cruise ship, which would arrive at Crimson Lotus Island a week later.

On the cruise ship, Shigeru didn't train his Pokémon, giving them a seven-day vacation instead.

Unfortunately, Zapdos cannot be released for the time being. Legendary Pokémon are too eye-catching, and every time he feeds it, Gary has to find a separate, enclosed environment, which is quite troublesome.

And so, seven days were spent on the cruise ship...!

We stopped briefly before arriving at Crimson Lotus Island, and then headed straight there.

Gary and Sabrina were resting in the cruise ship's lounge area, but Gary kept an eye on the situation on the deck. According to the original storyline, Gary would meet Ash and his friends on the cruise ship.

However, since Xiao Mao didn't follow the route in the story, he might not run into her.

However, Gary underestimated the power of fate. Ash and his friends actually boarded the cruise ship, but they only bought ordinary business class tickets and were not eligible to enter the luxury area of ​​the cruise ship.

"Naza, we've run into someone we know." Xiao Mao said.

Sabrina, wearing a white one-piece swimsuit, took off her sunglasses and looked in the direction Gary was looking, and saw Ash and his friends.

"Shigeru, I've noticed you seem to pay a lot of attention to Ash. Why is that?" Sabrina asked.

Sabrina hadn't asked before, but she noticed that every time Gary met Ash, he would take the initiative to go to Ash. It seemed like he was teasing Ash, but in reality, he was encouraging him. If Ash really encountered something, Gary wouldn't ignore him.

"Because he's been my childhood friend, and he's very resilient. Although he has a lot of problems, I think we'll meet at the top someday," Xiao Mao said.

Sabrina was surprised. The Gary she knew had always been very arrogant, but she never expected him to value Ash so much.

"waiter!"

Xiao Mao waved.

A young woman approached and politely asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Could you call those guys up here for me?" Shigeru asked, pointing to Ash and his friends inside the deck railing.

"Is it a group of three, two men and one woman?"

"Yes."

"Okay, please wait a moment, guest."

Although Ash and his friends did not purchase luxury tickets, Gary, who did, was entitled to invite people aboard. However, they could only invite people aboard; they would not be able to enjoy the services offered.

Ash and his friends were still discussing the Cinnabar Gym when a waitress suddenly appeared and invited them to a luxurious area. They were puzzled as to who would invite them.

"Guest, your invited guest has arrived."

The waiter led Xiaozhi and his friends to the luxury area and went to Xiaoshige's side to give him a reminder.

Shigeru was sitting in a chair with his back to Satoshi and the others. They couldn't recognize who was sitting there and were quite puzzled. They didn't know any wealthy relatives and were very concerned about the other person's identity.

"Okay, you can get back to work now."

"Ok."

The waiter then left.

"That voice...!" Ash was the first to react, finding the voice very familiar.

"Satoshi, can't you even recognize my voice anymore?" Shigeru stood up from his chair.

"Shigeru!" Ash was startled, not expecting to run into Shigeru here.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were both stunned, but considering that Xiaomao was Professor Oak's grandson, it was normal for him to be able to afford a luxury ship ticket.

"Hey, Shigeru, what are you doing here?" Ash asked.

"Of course, we're going to Cinnabar Island for a vacation, and while we're at it, we'll also take down the Cinnabar Gym badge," said Gary.

"That's such a coincidence! I'm also planning to challenge the Cinnabar Gym. Let's see who gets the Cinnabar Gym Badge first," Ash suggested.

After being defeated by Gary last time, Ash knew he wasn't strong enough, but two months later, his confidence returned.

"This is pointless, you're bound to lose," Xiao Mao said.

"What did you say! We haven't even started the match yet, how do you know I'll lose?" Ash retorted, unconvinced.

This time it's not a battle against Gary, but a contest to see who can get the Cinnabar Gym Badge first. Whoever gets to the Cinnabar Gym first has a better chance of winning.

“Because the Crimson Lotus Gym has been closed for a long time, and now Crimson Lotus Town is just a tourist hotspot. Where are you going to challenge them?” Gary said.

"What! The Cinnabar Gym is closed? How is that possible?" Ash immediately looked at Brock and asked, "Brock, didn't you just say that Cinnabar Island is a place that trainers dream of?"

"I only heard about it from my father when I was a child. So many years have passed, and I don't know the current situation of the Red Lotus Dojo," Xiao Gang said.

"What...!"

Ash was speechless for a moment, but then he suddenly thought of something and immediately looked at Gary, asking, "Since the Cinnabar Gym is closed, Gary, you can't challenge it yourself either, can you?"

“The Crimson Lotus Gym is closed, but that doesn’t mean Blaine isn’t here. He just thinks the opponents are too weak and doesn’t want to accept challenges from those weak trainers. But I’m sure Blaine will acknowledge my strength, and he’ll agree to battle me,” Gary said.

"Is the Gym Leader of Crimson Lotus Gym named Blaine?" Ash asked.

"You haven't changed at all. Before challenging the gym, you didn't even do your research. And you think you can compete with me to see who gets the Crimson Gym Badge first? You're really confident," Gary complained.

"I...!" West.

Chapter 109: Crimson Lotus Island

After hearing what Xiao Mao said, Xiao Zhi felt very embarrassed. He didn't know anything about it, yet he was going to have to compete with Xiao Mao.

If Gary really agrees to the match, Ash thinks he'll definitely lose since he can't even find Blaine.

"So, Xiao Mao, do you know Xia Bo?" Xiao Zhi asked.

"I don't know him."

Three Murkrows flew over Ash and his friends' heads...!

"What? So you don't even know Blaine yourself." Ash thought Gary knew Blaine and even wanted to go with Gary to find Blaine.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't tell me you haven't collected all 8 badges yet? If you can't find Uncle Xia's, you've made a wasted trip," Xiao Mao said.

"Did you collect all 8 badges?" Ash asked, unconvinced.

Ash's process of collecting badges is very difficult. He has only collected 6 badges so far, which is 2 badges short of the participation standard for the Indigo League.

Without saying a word, Xiao Mao took out the badge box and opened it, revealing nine badges neatly arranged inside.

“1、2、3...9...什么！你有9枚徽章。”小智震惊道。

Ash remembers that two months ago, Gary only had one more badge than him, so how come he has three more now?

In an instant, Ash realized that there was no need to compete with Gary in terms of the number of badges; it was better to simply widen the gap between them.

"Wow, that's amazing! They've collected nine badges! Ash has 447 badges, and Gary has them all too!" Misty remarked after observing them closely.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, let's talk about the Cinnabar Gym." Ash quickly changed the subject, saying, "Gary, how exactly are you going to challenge the Cinnabar Gym?"

“Let’s go find Uncle Xia,” Xiao Mao said.

"Don't you not know Blaine?" Ash asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know him, but Xia Bo is also a researcher. He’s at the Red Lotus Research Institute. You can find Xia Bo by going directly to the institute,” Xiao Mao said.

“I see. Then when we get to Cinnabar Town, we’ll go straight to the Cinnabar Research Institute. I want to challenge Blaine first,” Ash said.

"I advise you to challenge me after me. Watch my battle with Blaine first, see what kind of Pokémon Blaine has, and learn from my fighting style. That way, you'll have a better chance of defeating Blaine," Gary suggested.
