Chapter 500 Master Xiaomao's Journey as a Researcher
Alliance calendar year 798, February 10th.

Nine p.m.

Luo Mu was busy all day today, finding opportunities to do so.

After preparing some local specialties from the farm as souvenirs and asking Hitron and Yurika to pass them on to Mr. Limone, Luo Mu watched them pass through the ticket gate and into the terminal hall. Only after the international flight took off did he turn around and leave.

He rushed to Grape Academy without stopping, taught Shinji and the others a lesson, and contacted Nemo and the other two who were out treasure hunting. He learned that they had already rested in Ice Box Town and were planning to climb the mountain in one go when the weather was good to challenge the Frost Mountain Gym.

Pipa also won a bronze medal in the Fighting Tournament, while Papa successfully captured a baby bear in the forest near Cauldron Lake.

It seems that I have to give away my three peat blocks.

After class, Luo Mu returned to Pingdie Town and studied medical skills with Miss Qiao Yilin for two hours as usual. He went home to prepare dinner and busy himself with various things. Time passed quickly and it was now.

"There is a 12-hour time difference between the Kanto and Johto regions and Padia. If we calculate the time, the first round of the tournament should have already begun."

Luo Mu muttered to himself as he returned Cosmogu in his arms to the Bud Crown King. He ran barefoot to the bedroom on the third floor to take down his laptop and prepare to watch the live broadcast.

While he was fiddling with the Internet, the Blue Flame Blade Ghost, who was practicing swordplay outside as a way to digest his food after dinner, came over and asked curiously, "Hiss?"

Zhihuixing was not there, and the Bud Crown King ran to take Cosmog to absorb the "Essence of the Sun and the Moon". Moltres huddled in his bird house, and Serpentine ran to the new orchard to sleep with the children.

For a moment, Luo Mu really couldn't understand the meaning of Cang Yan Blade Ghost's words.

Fortunately, although the Cang Yan Blade Ghost is usually like a taciturn person, when he wants to express something, he will not just stand there and shout dryly, but will find ways to express his general meaning in other ways.

It pointed the tip of its sword at the laptop computer and barked again.

"Hiss Luo."

An ordinary person might think that Cang Yan Blade Ghost wanted to perform a sword-chopping performance to liven up the atmosphere, but Luo Mu's train of thought was obviously different.

He asked, "You want to watch the game too?"

The Blue Blade Ghost nodded, then shook his head.

I do want to watch the game, but that's not what I meant just now.

Luo Mu blinked, not knowing how he understood what Cang Yan Ren Gui meant, and asked again, "Do you want to know how Tan Xiaoshi is doing?"

The ghost fire burning like smoke in the pupils of the Cang Yan Blade Ghost suddenly swelled, and he nodded with glowing eyes.

Although they had only been together for a little over a week, it still cared about this fellow species who had similar experiences to itself.

Luo Mu stared at the Cang Yan Blade Ghost for a long time, as if he was deliberately teasing it. He stared at it until it felt uncomfortable all over, then he withdrew his gaze, and his voice was inevitably tainted with a hint of laughter.

"If you want to watch Tanshi, I can show you a replay of his game later."

"It's just that tonight, Tan-sama probably won't have a chance to play."

The Cang Yan Blade Ghost showed a puzzled expression, but Luo Mu answered its questions without it asking anything.

"Tonight. It's morning in the Johto region. For Xiaozhi, he will fight against his most important rival and childhood friend."

"For him, this battle is very important. I think he will treat it seriously."

For Xiaozhi, he thought that the opponent he needed to defeat the most in the Silver Conference was Xiaomao. Because of Luo Mu, Ye Yue, whom he didn't know, couldn't even get a number.

After Luo Mu finished speaking, Cang Yan Ren Gui, who was listening attentively, showed a hint of understanding in his eyes.

This is true.

At least from its observation point of view, the young man who had been staying on the farm for a while was a rare trainer who was very passionate about fighting, just like Luo Mu's student Nemo.

Not sending out the honeymoon period Pokémon is not to ignore or suppress it, but to find the right time for each of his Pokémon to appear.

Cang Yan Ren Gui vaguely remembered that Luo Mu had mentioned this truth to the young man many times.

Thinking of this, Cang Yan Rengui no longer worried about Tan Xiaoshi's appearance.

At Luo Mu's invitation, it sat on a chair beside it, staring at the laptop screen intently with its back straight.

If you don’t know, you would think it will play in the game.

Suo Cailing also climbed up onto its helmet with difficulty, looking at the flashing screen curiously.

"Yeah, it's connected!"

As the network was successfully connected, the image on the laptop screen suddenly changed.

Luo Mu waved his hand and asked the Eevee sisters and the Burning Bug who were snuggling next to the Burning Bug to come over.

Holding a large self-heating fluffy pillow with burning bugs, two cute Eevee lying on my lap, and ice cola and popcorn on the table, life is so colorful.

On the laptop screen, the battle between Satoshi from Pallet Town and Shigeki, also from Pallet Town, has already begun.

Luo Mu's attention was immediately focused on the screen.

At this point, both sides have lost a Pokémon.

Xiaozhi's Kentaro left the stage, and Xiaomao's Nidoqueen also left the stage.

It looked like they were both destroyed, or one side defeated the other but was taken away by the second Pokémon sent out by the other side.

The real answer can only be known when watching the replay.

The Pokémon that Xiaozhi sent out at this time was Heracross, known as the "Bug King", while Xiaomao's Pokémon was Incarnate.

Upon seeing this, the Blue Blade Ghost began to interrogate his soul.

"Sirlo?"

Why use Bug-type Pokémon to fight against our Fire-type Pokémon?

Luo Mu: “.”

Why is this kid playing a reverse attribute battle again!
But this Heracross does have something special.

Heracross was very strong when fighting against Infernape. The force of his flapping wings was even enough to extinguish the jet of flames that were entangled with him. In addition to the Super Horn Attack, Heracross also mastered a new move.

Ground-type physical attack move, 100,000 horsepower!

Thinking about the Swampert that often wrestled with Heracross, Luo Mu probably knew who taught it this move.

Unfortunately, after Heracross's glory, he faced the admiral Blastoise sent by Xiao Mao. A full-powered water cannon broke through the rocks he used to hide in, and coupled with the accumulated damage from Incarnate, he was carried away directly.

Luo Mu was not surprised by this result.

All in all, Xiaozhi only stayed on the farm for about ten days, and most of the time, I taught Xiaozhi what he needed to do as a trainer, rather than battle methods.

The strength of most of Ash's Pokémon may have improved, and a few have undergone qualitative changes through evolution. This is the result.

Heracross was not included in the qualitative change, so it won one game and then lost.

After all, Xiao Mao is Professor Oak's grandson, so at least he is not weak in the tournament.

At this time.

The black ball placed aside as a decoration started to move again. As it turned into a flat surface, a stack of photos were transmitted over.

With difficulty, he moved his hand away from the hairy body of the burning worm, picked up the photos and quickly flipped through them. After a few seconds, he raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised.

“Is this live broadcast also delayed?”

On the laptop screen, Ash sends out Forsaken, shocking everyone, and then punches and kicks Blastoise.

As expected, the Messenger Bird was also watching the Silver Conference. In the photos it sent back, both Monkey and Blastoise had their Poké Balls taken back by Ash and Shaggy, and they had not lost their combat capabilities.

The ones fighting now are Windy and Snorlax.

There is also a photo that captured the friends and family seats next to the battle venue. In addition to Misty and Brock, there are also cheering Pikachu, Young Kiras and Tanto.

They should be unable to play.

Luo Mu handed the photo to Cang Yan Ren Gui and said with a smile: "Tan Xiaoshi is in it."

Although Black Ball was continuously sending back photos taken by the Messenger Bird, Luo Mu didn't want to be spoiled, so he put the photos aside and watched the game attentively with the Pokémon.

After taking a head-on water cannon that could have killed Heracross, Monkey's angry punch almost broke Blastoise's shell. Both sides took back their Pokémon at the same time, and it became Windy vs. Snorlax again.

This battle was similar to Luo Mu's impression. Basically, Snorlax relied on its tankiness to withstand the output of Windy Hound, and sent it away with a destructive ray.

Perhaps it was because it was a bit lively here, the Pokémon that were originally in the room, such as Mimikyu, Uruk-chan, Victini, Frostmilax, and Healer, all came to the living room one after another, consciously brought their own little chairs, and sat down to watch the game.

Before I knew it, the living room was filled with Pokémon.

After Arcanine left the field, Xiaomao sent out Titanfall. That Titanfall probably had the "light metal" attribute, and its speed completely crushed Xiaozhi's Snorlax, which had maxed out agility. Even though it was hit by a Surf that had no effect at the end, its condition was still at its peak.

If Snorlax hadn't eaten a lot of tree fruits on the farm and had more fat, he wouldn't even have had time to use surfing.

Xiaozhi sent out Monkey King again. Monkey King has four times the resistance to insects, which is barely an advantage.

After winning a fierce battle, Monkey King faced Xiaomao's fifth Pokémon, Armored Bird.

Then came the humor.

I don't know what Xiao Mao was thinking. Maybe he thought that even though Pikachu was a cheerleader, he could still play.

He chose to take an angry punch from the Forsaken and also attacked the electric-type Pikachu.

If it weren’t for the Armored Bird’s incredible defense, it would have been carried away long ago.

Even though the Fist of Fury hit, the Abandoned Monkey still lost miserably because he couldn't fly and a number of other factors.

Ash's fifth Pokémon was Owlcat, which fought with the poorly-conditioned Armoured Bird and both suffered heavy losses, losing their ability to fight.

It is already clear that Mao's last Pokémon is Blastoise. However, Ash knew that Mao's trump card was Blastoise, but he did not choose to send out Pikachu, but sent out Charizard instead.

There is no use in spreading diamond farts on the ground.

This is also the reason why Luo Mu later commented that Sa Ling's move was extremely humorous.

Pre-reading successful, God!

Pre-reading failed, humor!
In the battle between Blastoise and Charizard, Luo Mu remembered that in the original animation, Ash always wanted Charizard to break through Blastoise's firepower network and engage in close combat.

The reason for this is that at that time, the only long-range attacks that Charizard mastered were Flame Jet and Dragon's Fury, and the others were abstract moves such as Earth Throw, Flying, Rocket Head Hammer and Million Punch.

Since he likes close combat so much, Xiaozhi's Charizard seems to be very suitable for Mega Charizard X.

Facing the firepower of Blastoise, Charizard would definitely be powerless.

But things are different now.

Charizard not only learned a lot of flying skills from Moltres, but also learned a lot of flying-type long-range moves.

With these moves, Charizard was able to fight against Blastoise and gain more advantages, but until the very end of the match, Ash still came up with a move that had Charizard engage in close combat and use the Earth Throw to end the battle.

How should I put it, it's very smart.

After successfully defeating his rival Xiaomao, Xiaozhi also advanced to the second round of the decisive tournament.

But, maybe it was Butterfree that flapped its wings.

Xiaozhi’s opponent in the second round is not Ye Yue, but another trainer.

In Luo Mu's memory, he seemed to be the runner-up of the Silver Conference in the original plot.

And Xiaozhi's semi-final opponent is not Ye Yue, but the champion in the original plot.

According to the match chart of the decisive tournament, the duel between Xiaozhi and Ye Yue, a trainer from the Hoenn region, was postponed to the finals.

Luo Mu discovered this by chance when he browsed the official website of the Silver Conference after watching the duel between strong rivals and was looking for the replay of the battle between Tan Xiaoshi and Cang Yan Rengui.

10 month 19 day.

The temperature dropped again, and the cold wind blew across the earth, seeming to symbolize that winter was coming.

"Ms. Junsha, I'll leave Houndoom and Dalubi in your care."

Luo Mu looked at Miss Junsha, who was about fifty years old and had green hair mixed with some silver threads, and stretched out his hand.

"Of course, we promise not to treat them unfairly."

Miss Junsha smiled gently and extended her hand to shake it back.

In fact, she was a little surprised when Luo Mu, the former champion trainer, approached her.

There have always been rumors in the police station.

Although he actually has no real power, the president who founded the league in the Padia region admires him very much. His actions, both overt and covert, show that even without a professional title, he is still a champion trainer in the league.

Junsha has always been curious about him.

Now that I see it, it really lives up to its reputation.

The lack of partner police dogs has always been a concern for the Junsha clan. These Hounds and Dalubys have very good obedience, and after rigorous training in the police dog training camp, they can start working as partners of the police officers.

It can be said that Luo Mu completely broadened their thinking.

In addition to dog Pokémon such as Argent and Ezreal, there are also many good Pokémon such as Houndoom and Daelive, which are notorious for their ferocity.

With a little training, it can be no worse than Arcanine and Ezreal.

Even because of the existence of the evil attribute, it is easier to fight against criminals and poaching gangs who like to use evil attributes. It can also restrain some criminals who use Pokémon with rare attributes such as psychic powers and ghosts to commit crimes.

After officially entrusting Houndoom and the others to Miss Junsha.

Luo Mu and the Houndoom leader who was already in position and had officially joined the farm, watched as the Dalubi, as well as the Houndoom Sangbiao, the younger generation, and the younger generation's childhood sweethearts, stepped into the police truck one after another.

I noticed the leader of Houndoom next to me. No, now you can just call him Houndoom.

Noticed Houndoom's complicated emotions.

Luo Mu tried to liven up the atmosphere.

"Now half of your people are going to expand the territory, and the other half are eating public food. How great is that."
