[Characteristic: EX Analysis (First mover, skill power increased by 15%; second mover, skill power increased by 30%).]
[Second Ability: EX Magnet (Strong-type Pokémon without the Ghost type are trapped and unable to escape; Electric-type moves are increased by 20%.)]
[Third Ability: Sturdy (When HP is full, it cannot be one-shotted; one-hit KO moves are ineffective against Pokémon with this ability; damage from Super Effective moves is reduced by one-quarter.)]
[Skills: Impact, Electric Shock, Electromagnetic Wave, Gyro Ball, Electric Light, Piercing Sound, Electromagnetic Levitation, Cannon Beam, Discharge, Triple Attack, Metallic Sound, Light Wall, Electric Field, Magnetic Bomb, Mirror Reflection.]
[Teacher's skills: 100,000 Volts, Signal Beam, Sleep, Hyper Beam, Gravity, Body Slam.]
【Intimacy Level: 255 (Maximum 255)】
Wow! Real shrimp!
When Xiao Shi saw the three enhanced traits, although the improvement wasn't huge, each trait 2.9 became very practical.
The EX analysis showed that the move's power was not increased as Shigeru had expected. Instead, the move's power was increased regardless of whether the user attacked first or last, although the power increase was smaller for the user who attacked first, with only a 15% increase.
EX Magnetism adds a stat that increases the power of Electric-type moves by 20%, which is equivalent to giving Magneton a Magneton item, and the original effects are still there.
EX Sturdy also greatly improves, reducing the damage of special moves by a quarter, which is equivalent to having an additional Sturdy ability. Magneton itself has many resistances, and its weaknesses are only Fighting, Ground, and Fire.
Magneton can fly, and in most cases, Ground-type moves are useless against it, so it only has two and a half weaknesses, which is terrifying.
465: Commissioned by the Alliance, to serve as the temporary curator.
"If this were equipped with a top-quality magnet, a single electromagnetic cannon shot would be enough to...!"
Xiao Mao carefully calculated that the Electromagnetic Cannon has a power of 120. If it is used later, the power can reach 240. If it is used first, the power is 222. The power of one move is almost as good as a Normal-type Pokémon using Self-Destruct.
The most powerful Electric-type move is the Electromagnetic Cannon. If there were an even more powerful move, Magneton could truly kill a god.
Unfortunately, Electrocute is a skill exclusive to Aluminosi, otherwise Magneton could have been improved.
"Kuoyi?"
Seeing the terrified look on Xiao Shi's face, Magneton was also a little confused. Although most of its two abilities were enhanced, Magneton could not sense it.
After all, both EX Magnetism and EX Analysis require Magneton to use its skills to trigger, and EX Sturdyness requires being hit to feel the changes.
"You're already very strong. After lunch, continue your combat training this afternoon. You'll feel a different version of yourself," Xiao Mao said, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
"Kuoyi?"
Magneton nodded thoughtfully, wondering if it had been tricked by Gary again. But then it remembered that Gary had never broken his promises to Pokémon, so it must be that its senses were wrong.
I'll practice with Charizard this afternoon.
Charizard: (?へ?╬)！ Come on, don't think that just because you have a type advantage over me, I can't do anything to you.
Charizard is level 70. Even though Magneton is very strong now, it can't overcome the gap of two levels.
For the rest of the time, Gary stayed at Oak's lab, supervising his Pokémon training and taking care of some miscellaneous tasks at the lab. His days were quite fulfilling.
As for Ash, he is still on his way back. He took a boat from the Hoenn region and could only reach Vermilion City. After that, he still had to walk back to Pallet Town from Vermilion City. Even if he took a vehicle along the way, it would take at least half a month to get back.
That noon, after preparing food for the Pokémon, Gary went back to his house to eat, along with Professor Oak and Ken.
Professor Oak saw Gary and greeted him, "Gary, sit down."
Seeing his grandfather's benevolent smile, Shigeru felt strange. Professor Oak usually looked like that when he needed something from him.
"Grandpa, is there something you need?" Xiao Mao asked directly.
"Haha, it's like this, the League asked me to ask you if you'd be interested in becoming the Gym Leader of Viridian City," Professor Oak said.
"What?"
Shigeru wondered if he was hallucinating; the League was actually asking him to become the gym leader.
“I know you’re confused, but you’re fully qualified to be a gym leader. The League will cover all your expenses during your tenure as gym leader, if you’re willing,” Professor Oak said.
“But I don’t really want to be the curator. I want to travel to other regions afterward,” said Xiao Shi.
"It's not a position you'll hold indefinitely. You'll only need to temporarily serve as the Gym Leader for two months, and the League will pay you accordingly," Professor Oak said.
"Can I choose the reward myself?" Xiao Mao became interested when he heard that there was a reward.
"What do you want to choose? If it's too outrageous, the League won't allow it," Professor Oak cautioned.
"Don't worry, I won't ask for anything excessive." Xiao Mao waved his hand and said, "I just need a Pokémon."
"Pokémon? What Pokémon?" Professor Oak was puzzled. Gary had already caught more than forty Pokémon. If there were any Pokémon he wanted to catch, Gary could easily catch them himself.
A Pokémon that even Gary couldn't catch must be extremely rare.
"I want either Riolu or Gible," said Gary.
Gary hasn't been idle lately; he's been thinking about what Pokémon his Sinnoh team should prepare, sending out the five Pokémon they already have, and at least catching one or two more.
But when it comes to the Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, after much thought, Gary can only decide that, apart from the legendary Pokémon, Lucario and Garchomp are worth raising.
However, these two Pokémon are extremely rare, making them very difficult to obtain. Although both Pokémon can be found in the wild, the chances of encountering one are very low.
After traveling around the Hoenn region, Gary didn't encounter any wild Bamako or Bellossom. He only managed to get Salamence from Meteor Village; he hadn't encountered any wild ones.
Instead of searching for wild Riolu and Gible in the Sinnoh region later, it's better to ask the League directly. The power of an organization is always stronger than that of an individual.
Have you seen those hunter organizations? As long as the employer pays enough, they'll capture legendary elves for you.
"Both of the Pokémon you requested are extremely rare, they're not found in the Kanto region. Let me ask around for you." Professor Oak didn't guarantee the League would provide them; he wanted to check first.
“Alright, if the Kanto Alliance doesn’t have one, then forget about being the temporary headmaster,” Shigeru said.
Gary had no interest in becoming a Gym Leader, because he didn't have any suitable Pokémon. The rules of Gym battles were already set: Gym Leaders could only use Gym-level Pokémon at most, and all of Gary's Pokémon were above that level.
Another rule in key gym battles is that the type of Pokémon that the gym leader can use is also limited to 190. For example, in a Fire-type gym, the gym leader can only use Fire-type Pokémon.
With these two restrictions, Gary can only use Water-type and Rock-type Pokémon to battle, because Gary only has these two types of Gym Leader Pokémon.
These are Kabutops and Omanyte, which were captured in Big Fool Valley. They both have the potential to become Gym Leaders and are currently around level 45. They have been kept at Professor Oak's lab.
"Ok."
Professor Oak could tell that Gary was unwilling to take on the job and only agreed because of Professor Oak's sake. If the Kanto League couldn't provide any Pokémon, then he would have to refuse.
After lunch, Professor Oak contacted the Trainers Association of the Kanto League, as Gym Leaders are managed by the Trainers Association.
The Trainers Association was in a dilemma when they received Gary's request. They only asked Gary to serve as a temporary Gym Leader. If he were to join the Kanto League directly, sending him out wouldn't be a problem, since it would be a great opportunity to recruit a trainer with great potential.
However, since Gary hasn't indicated that he wants to join the league, the Trainers Association will have to carefully consider its investment.
The reason why the Kanto League championship has remained vacant is not because there is no suitable person to fill the position, but because the trainers who hold these positions must have a role within the league.
466: Gible
The champions and the Four Heavenly Kings hold very high positions, but correspondingly, they also need to shoulder the responsibilities of champions and the Four Heavenly Kings.
Champions and the Four Heavenly Kings from other regions all hold important positions within the league, contributing to the development of their respective regions. This can be seen in the fact that champions and the Four Heavenly Kings from other regions are all concerned about the development of their regions.
The characters that Gary met in the Hoenn region, Steven and Wallace, were both willing to give their lives for the safety of the region.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!
It's impossible to gain honors without putting in the effort.
Therefore, Gary doesn't plan to participate in the League Challenge. Instead, he plans to participate in the World Championship in the future to compete for the title of the world's strongest trainer, so that he won't have to bear too much responsibility.
Seeing that Professor Oak had hung up the phone, Gary asked, "Grandpa, what did the Trainer Association say?"
“They said they’d think about it and give me an answer by tonight,” Professor Oak said.
"Oh."
Xiao Mao nodded and went to the backyard to supervise his Pokémon's training.
That evening, the Trainers Association responded, agreeing to Gary's request. They offered a Gible as payment and sent it over that same night.
"Shigeru, this is Gible's Poké Ball." Professor Oak took the Poké Ball out of the teleporter's slot and handed it to Shigeru, continuing, "This Gible was bred at the Dragon Breeding House. It was originally intended for a younger member of the family, but Mr. Lance agreed to give it to you."
"Oh, A-du!"
Xiao Mao never expected that this matter would involve A Du.
However, Dragon-type Pokémon are rare to begin with, let alone pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon. In the Kanto region, only the Dragon Clan can produce one.
Xiao Mao didn't rush to release the Gible; he wanted to check its stats first.
【Pokémon: Gible♂】
[Attributes: dragon, ground]
【Level: 5】
[Potential: King]
【Trait: Sand Cloak (In sandstorm weather, evasion rate is increased by 20%)】
[Skills: Ramming, Digging.]
[Inherited Skill: Metal Claw]
【Intimacy Level: 100 (Maximum 255)】
It actually has a genetic skill, but unfortunately it's just a metal claw, which isn't very useful in combat.
Because Gible can learn Iron Tail, but Metal Claw only has a power of 50 while Iron Tail has a power of 100, so it's a waste of its inherited power.
"Gible, come out." After reviewing Gible's stats, Gary released Gible.
"Huh!"
Gible emerged from its Poké Ball and immediately looked around, glancing at Gary and then at Professor Oak. It had heard at the breeding center that it was going to be sent to a powerful trainer, and it couldn't tell whether Professor Oak or Gary was the powerful trainer.
Gary squatted down and smiled, "Hello Gible, I'll be your trainer from now on. Please take care of me."
"Hmm?"
Gible approached Shigeru, scrutinized him closely, and then leaped up, biting Shigeru's knee.
"Hi~!"
Xiao Shi could feel the pain, but it wasn't too bad. The Gible didn't bite with all its might; this is how Gibles greet people they're close to.
"Looks like you really like it." Shigeru scratched his head, completely unconcerned that the Gible was biting his knee.
