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

"Shigeru, your Eevee is amazing! It knows so many skills. How did you train it?" Professor Oak suddenly asked.

Professor Oak heard the sounds of a battle coming from the backyard, so he went out to check. He then saw Eevee and Glaceon battling, and was quite curious about where Glaceon came from. However, as the battle between the two Pokémon intensified, Eevee unleashed one powerful move after another, leaving Professor Oak completely dumbfounded.

Professor Oak is a Pokémon researcher, so he has naturally studied Eevee, a Pokémon with high research value. He knows very well that Eevee cannot master those skills. In fact, he has never seen an Eevee with so many skills in his entire life.

"This Eevee was bred at the Cinnabar Research Institute, and its base stats are naturally higher than those of a regular Eevee," Gary explained.

"Oh, they actually bred this kind of Eevee? How come I didn't know?" Professor Oak also follows research institutions in various regions. Since this Eevee is allowed to be sold, it will definitely be published in academic journals first.

"Because this Eevee 0.7 has a problem, which is that it can't evolve," said Gary.

"What! An Eevee that can't evolve!" Professor Oak exclaimed in surprise.

When Gary brought the Eevee over, he didn't tell Professor Oak about it. Professor Oak thought Gary just wanted to catch another Eevee and train it to evolve into another form.

“Yes, I got one from Dr. Blaine and trained it. During the training process, I discovered that although this Eevee cannot evolve, it can master moves that Eevee cannot master. From the current perspective, it seems that Eevee can master moves of 9 types, and all 9 types correspond to the types of Eevee's evolved forms,” said Gary.

"Oh, that's amazing. It takes a long time for a Pokémon to learn a new move. I remember you only arrived at Cinnabar Island a month ago," Professor Oak said, puzzled.

132: Giving Professor Oak a little shock

“Yes, this Eevee has a very strong learning ability. It can master a skill in about a week, and it has already mastered five skills, all taught to it by my Pokémon,” said Gary.

"So it seems the price of having such high talent is the inability to evolve," Professor Oak concluded.

"Who knows? At present, it just can't evolve with evolution stones. Eevee also has three other forms that don't evolve with evolution stones: Espeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon," said Gary.

"That's true, then you should raise this Eevee well." Although this Eevee is quite peculiar, Professor Oak doesn't think it's anything special; it's still within an acceptable range, since it's unclear how far this Eevee can grow.

"Oh, right, Grandpa, when I was challenging the Viridian Gym, I encountered a Pokémon I'd never seen before. I took a picture of it; could you take a look?" Gary said.

"Oh, a Pokémon that even you don't recognize." Professor Oak was surprised because Gary had been with Professor Oak since childhood and knew a great deal about Pokémon. He was familiar not only with Pokémon in the Kanto region but also with Pokémon in other regions. He was practically a Pokémon encyclopedia, and some new researchers were not as knowledgeable as Gary.

28 "Let me see it quickly," Professor Oak urged.

Xiao Mao took out his phone, which had been upgraded to a camera version. Although the resolution was a bit low, it was still able to capture clear images of the subject.

"This Pokémon is...!" Professor Oak was also shocked when he saw the photo, his pupils widening slightly. Although the photo did not capture Mewtwo's original appearance, it still captured its general outline.

Gary had been watching Professor Oak's expression closely, and he was certain that Professor Oak knew about Mewtwo's existence.

"I've never seen this Pokémon before either." Professor Oak shook his head seriously, indicating that he didn't recognize the Pokémon.

"Grandpa, are you sure you don't recognize him?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Although I'm a Pokémon professor, this world is full of all kinds of Pokémon, and I haven't seen every single one. However, these photos are very valuable for research, so I'll leave them to you, Grandpa." Professor Oak took his phone and left to save the photos.

Gary didn't stop him; he just wanted to find out if Professor Oak knew about Mewtwo's existence. Now that Gary knows the answer he wants, those photos aren't that important anymore.

Gary believes that even if Professor Oak reveals what he knows about Mewtwo, it won't help him much unless Professor Oak is willing to create Mewtwo.

However, creating Mewtwo is extremely difficult. In addition to Mew's genes, it also requires the combination of genes from other Pokémon. It is a Pokémon cloned from multiple Pokémon genes. Moreover, the process of creating a Mewtwo is very long, requiring more than 10 years, and there is no guarantee of 100% success.

Otherwise, given the Rockets' technology, they couldn't have created just one Mewtwo.

In the evening, everyone ate dinner together.

"Shigeru, there are still two months until the Indigo League. What do you plan to do in these two months?" Professor Oak asked.

"I plan to go and take a look at Silver Mountain," Xiao Mao said.

"The Pokémon in Mt. Silver are incredibly powerful. Are you sure you want to go there?" Professor Oak exclaimed in surprise.

Mt. Silver is located in the eastern part of the Johto region. It is a huge mountain range, with half of it in a protected area and the other half in a wild area. There are very strong wild Pokémon in it, and ordinary trainers are likely to be attacked by wild Pokémon if they go in.

“Yeah, I’m planning to catch a Tyranitar, so I’ll have to try my luck at Mt. Silver,” said Gary.

The wild areas of Mt. Silver are not protected, and the Pokémon League will not pursue any Pokémon caught by trainers there.

The system issued a collection task requiring the collection of Tyranitar, so Gary could only start from Mt. Silver, because wild Larvitar and Taric are too rare to encounter. They hide underground after birth until they evolve into Tyranitar, at which point they will emerge from underground and begin to live a life of freedom.

"Tyranitar is an extremely powerful Pokémon. Only trainers at the level of the Elite Four can subdue it. Are you sure you can?" Professor Oak asked worriedly.

Tyranitar is a pseudo-legendary in the Johto region, on par with Dragonite in the Kanto region. However, Tyranitar is much more ferocious than Dragonite. Many trainers have tried to catch Tyranitar, but almost all of them have never returned.

“Grandpa, when have you ever seen me do something I’m not sure of? Besides, I have a very powerful Pokémon, and with my other Pokémon, defeating Tyranitar shouldn’t be a problem,” Gary said.

"Oh, what kind of elf?"

Professor Oak looked puzzled. He had seen all of Gary's Pokémon, and as a retired trainer, he knew that Gary's current main Pokémon were stronger than those of the Gym Leaders.

However, wild Tyranitar are naturally at the level of Elite Four members, and ordinary trainers are far from being their match. Even Gym Leaders, without using their main Pokémon, would find it difficult to defeat them.

Not to mention Tyranitar, who can dominate Mt. Silver, whose strength is even more terrifying, and may even be at the level of Elite Four member or Champion.

"Grandpa, you forgot that I once caught a Pokémon, but I never teleported it over here (397)." Shigeru took a High Ball out of his pocket.

"Oh! A high-level ball!"

Oak was startled. Gary usually caught Pokémon using ordinary red and white balls, so the fact that he suddenly took out an Ultra Ball meant that the Pokémon inside must be very powerful.

Compared to regular balls, Ultra Balls have a higher catch rate and are specifically designed to catch powerful Pokémon. Gary would never use an Ultra Ball to catch a Pokémon with mediocre strength, which means that the Pokémon in this ball is very strong, and it is Gary's trump card against Tyranitar.

"What kind of Pokémon is inside?" Professor Oak asked curiously.

"Let's go to the backyard. It's nighttime now, so there's not much of a place around," Xiao Mao said.

Professor Oak was puzzled. It was just a Pokémon, why go to the backyard? And judging from Gary's tone, he was deliberately waiting until night to talk about the Pokémon.

Professor Oak was becoming increasingly curious.

The three of them came to the backyard.

"Come out."

Gary throws out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

A Zapdos with its golden feathers standing on end emerged from the Poké Ball.

"Quack!"

When Zapdos saw Gary, it calmed down and silently looked at Professor Oak, whom it was meeting for the first time.

"Zap...Zapdos!"

Professor Oak was shocked; he never imagined that Gary had caught Zapdos.

133: Ash Returns

"Am I seeing things? Is that really a Zapdos?"

Professor Oak unconsciously walked up to Zapdos, unsure if he was seeing things.

“Of course it’s Zapdos. If you don’t believe me, Grandpa, you can touch it and see,” said Gary.

"Yes, touch it."

Professor Oak was overjoyed and immediately touched Zapdos's feathers.

Zapdos doesn't like being touched by strangers, but since Gary gave permission, he didn't say much. However, Professor Oak was a bit persistent, touching it a few times and then continuing to touch it, as if he wanted to touch every part of Zapdos's body.

So, Zapdos released a tiny bit of electricity, which instantly paralyzed Professor Oak.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Xiao Mao asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, just a little numb. This really is Zapdos. You caught Zapdos and didn't even tell me." Professor Oak was in no mood to care about the numbness. He was Professor Oak, after all, and he had taken plenty of hits from Pokémon.

"I didn't tell you until now because I was afraid you'd get too excited, Grandpa. Besides, I've already told you," Xiao Mao said.

"Quick! Tell me how you caught Zapdos, tell me every single word!" Professor Oak just wanted to know how Gary caught Zapdos.

"It was in Azure City..." Shigeru recounted his experience at the Azure City power plant.

"You brat, you didn't even tell me about something this important," Professor Oak said, displeased.

“If I tell you, Grandpa, you’ll definitely ask me to teleport Zapdos over, so it’s better not to,” Gary said.

"How long do you...how long do you plan to stay in Pallet Town?" Professor Oak asked.

"About a week, then we'll go check out the Silver Forest. Anyway, the Silver Forest is very close to the Indigo Plateau, so we can treat it as special training."

"A week? Do you want to stay a little longer?" Professor Oak asked. He wanted to study Zapdos properly. Although he had seen Zapdos before, this was the first time he had been so close to it.

“Grandpa, Zapdos doesn’t like being touched by strangers, as you just saw. If you want to study it, Zapdos needs to cooperate with you,” Gary reminded him.

"I know, I know, I'll just take a look," Professor Oak said with a smile, his mind now focused on monitoring Zapdos' data.

Xiao Mao had a headache; it seemed his grandfather was about to endure the torment of lightning again.

...!

three days later.

The door to Professor Oak's lab was pushed open, and Ash and his friends entered the room.

"Professor Oak, it's me, Ash!" Ash shouted.

"You're here! Togepi, it's been a long time!" Professor Oak ignored Ash, turned around and greeted Misty and Togepi.

"Bok-doo!"

Togepi also enthusiastically called out.

Togepi is a mysterious Fairy-type Pokémon. Currently, information about Togepi is scarce, and detailed data about them has not yet been researched.

To date, no one has figured out how Togepi was born, because Togepi is born in a parallel universe called Togepi Paradise. Newly born Togepi eggs fall from this parallel universe into the real world.

Furthermore, only a human mind can hatch Togepi. After Togepi grows into Togekiss in the real world, it returns to Togepi Park to reproduce, which is why people have never known how Togepi is born.

The Kingdom of Mirazu in the Hoenn region has an entrance to Togepi Park, which is located on the other side of a mirage, a very special parallel space.

Xiaoxia's Togepi was born in Togepi Park in the Kingdom of Miraju.

Of course, there is more than one mysterious space like Pokémon Park. The exact number is unknown, but there are probably not many. However, there is a Pokémon Park in almost every region, but none of them have been discovered yet.

"Professor, it's me, Ash." Seeing that Professor Oak ignored him, Ash was speechless. Was he really that easy to be ignored?

"Haha, just kidding. Seeing you so healthy is more important than anything else. Come with me." Professor Oak led Ash and his two friends into the living room.

In the living room, Xiao Mao and Na Zi were sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"Xiao Mao!"
