I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

In addition, because the Safari Zone retains its pristine natural environment, the Pokémon here are generally of higher levels.

They were basically around level 30, so the cautious Yang Xiying sent the level 70 Azure Flame Blade Ghost to accompany them.

Everyone around was stunned. A level 70 Pokémon? That's something only Elite Four level trainers can have!

—Now the staff at the hunting grounds all think this guy is here to buy supplies.

However, just as they said, Yang Xiying really did come to this place to buy goods, since he wanted to catch quite a few Pokémon in the Safari Zone.

Kangaskhan! I've been really craving it ever since I saw it at Mitsui Masahiko's place. I've mentioned its advantages before, but there's one thing Mitsui Masahiko didn't bring out, so I'll skip that.

That's the Mega Evolution of Kangaskhan. After evolving, the babies in its pouch will also have combat abilities and fight together.

Since it's a Mega Evolution, it's only considered one Pokémon, and its ability to fight together is solely due to its Parental Love ability.

The Parental Love trait is a heavyweight trait whose description is enough to write a short essay. Its effect is that the user can use the same attack move twice in one turn.

That's equivalent to two moves in one turn! That alone is enough to prove how overpowered Mega Kangaskhan is, not to mention the variety of Pokémon moves.

It also includes an enhanced punch that guarantees a level increase in attack power upon use, essentially a sword dance with added attack power.

Therefore, this kind of Kangaskhan also has the greatest MEGA evolution boost, so Yang Xiying naturally wants to collect one.

Then there's Scyther. Yang Xiying used to admire its appearance, and it's a formidable opponent among Bug-type Pokémon.

Its Attack and Speed ​​are both over 100, and it even has the Mastery ability. The only downside is that it's a Bug/Flying type, so a single Stealth Rock attack can take away half its life.

However, it has an evolved form, Scizor, which, although it doesn't increase base stats, still has 500, and its type changes to Bug/Steel, the same as Forretress.

The Bug/Steel type is pretty strong, except for Grass Knot and Ladybug, with Scizor being the best among them.

Even though Forretress has retired from the meta in his world, this kid hasn't, and like Kangaskhan, it can also Mega Evolve.

—The increase in base stats has been mostly allocated to useful attack, defense, and special defense!

Next up is Pinsir, formerly known as Pinsir. This Pokémon is also one of the more powerful Bug-type Pokémon.

However, it is far inferior to its counterpart, the rhinoceros beetle Heracross, though it also has MEGA evolution.

After Mega Evolution, the base stat distribution improved significantly, with Attack reaching 150 and both Defense and Special Defense stats increasing.

There's even an extremely useful Flying Skin ability that turns Normal-type moves into Flying-type moves and increases their power slightly.

There are quite a few useful moves with normal attributes, and with Mega Evolution, it gains the Flying type, resulting in STAB (Same Type Influence) and explosive damage.

Of course, just like with Scyther, a single Stealth Rock can take it down to half its life, but that's okay! At least it's still usable.

Moreover, Yang Xiying no longer needs to specifically limit the number of Pokémon he has, since he's being kept by a rich woman.

He won't be eaten out of house and home by an ever-growing number of Pokémon, and catching Pinsir and Scyther will help him complete a certain achievement faster!

【Emperor Ama's Team King】: Captured Kairos, Ancient Giant Dragonfly, Scizor, Viper/Butterfly, Beedrill, Electric Spider, Orup, Iron Ant, Heracross, Dragon Scorpion, and Fierce Leg Locust.

Rewards: Beedrill Evolution Stone x1, Pinsir Evolution Stone x1, Scizor Evolution Stone x1, Heracross Evolution Stone x1, Bug-Z...

Alright, just these few items are enough to make Yang Xiying want to complete the achievement; becoming the Insect King isn't out of the question.

In short, Yang Xiying came to the hunting zone and captured Pokémon without restraint: Rhydon, catch! Nidorino, catch!

Poliwag! Catch! Tauros! Catch! Dratini! Can't find one! Chansey! ... Yang Xiying chose a spot to lie down.

By pretending to be seriously injured, Chansey is a Pokémon that will run to lend a helping hand to people in trouble.

So Yang Xiying wanted to try and see if this would attract the Chansey, but not long after he lay down, several men in black suddenly appeared beside him.

"Hey, are you alright?!" These guys dressed like ninjas looked like patrol personnel from the hunting grounds...

Seeing Yang Xiying suddenly fall to the ground, they immediately jumped out, which made Yang Xiying somewhat nervous.

—It seems like we can't lure out this Chansey egg...

"...So you're planning to pretend to be injured to attract the attention of a wild Chansey and then capture it?"

The ninja uncles were somewhat speechless when they heard the reason why Yang Xiying had collapsed, but the leader of the ninjas spoke with a light laugh.

"Haha, Chansey does indeed have this characteristic, and it's commendable that you know how to use this to catch him."

This is a middle-aged man with black spiky hair who is not covering his face; he is around forty years old.

—She was also wearing a red scarf with a distinctly Showa-era feel around her neck.

"But unfortunately, there are no more Chanseys left in this hunting ground. The last one was caught by the little girl who came here last time."

"Oh no, really?"

Yang Xiying was visibly disappointed, and it seemed that she could only think of other ways to get Chansey.

"Unfortunately, that's just how it is."

"In that case, I should head back. By the way, you ninja, you wouldn't happen to be Akari, the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City, would you?"

Yang Xiying responded, then looked at the middle-aged man's face and suddenly thought of something, subconsciously asking the person opposite her.

The man in front of him looked familiar. Only now did he realize that this middle-aged man was Akari, the Gym Leader of Fuchsia City.

According to Rika, she is an expert in medicine and poison, and she has taught Rika how to make Pokémon poison-type moves.

He also has an identity that represents the island nation's culture: a ninja, or a ninjutsu master who inherited the Iga school!

He is good friends with the director of the hunting grounds in Asakusa City and often works part-time there on patrol, so it's normal for him to be here.

"It is I. You must be from out of town. Are you here to challenge the dojo?" Aju looked surprised.

Because he was patrolling the hunting grounds, Yang Xiying's every move was observed by him, and he was a very skilled Pokémon Trainer.

After all, they already have level 70 Pokémon. If they get a few more of similar level Pokémon, they'll be at the Elite 1 level.

Therefore, challenging the gym was unnecessary; he felt that Yang Xiying had come to Fuchsia City to purchase goods from the Safari Zone.

It was strange that he suddenly collapsed, but when I went over, I found out that he was pretending to be sick in order to catch Chansey.

—To feign illness so well that even he didn't notice is truly impressive.

"Yes, my name is Yang Xiying, a trainer from Yan Country. I am currently collecting Gym Badges in preparation for challenging the Kanto Regional League."

"—This crimson gym is my next target."

Yang Xiying then introduced herself, and Aju nodded in agreement, "I see. Then I accept your challenge."

"Just come to the gym to find me tomorrow. To be honest, I'm really looking forward to battling you after watching you catch Pokémon in the Safari Zone."

"Oh," Yang Xiying nodded subconsciously. She realized that the feeling of being spied on earlier wasn't untrue...

"I understand. I need to prepare myself for Mr. Aju, so please excuse me," Yang Xiying said goodbye.

Aju is a Pokémon Trainer with the potential to become an Elite Four member, or rather, several Gym Leaders in Fuchsia City, Cinnabar Town, and Viridian City are at that level.

Anyway, it'll be a bit difficult for him to collect the Gym Badges next. Ah-Ju, he seems to be a trainer who uses Poison-type Pokémon...

"Well, farewell, sir," A-Ju said, and then she and the other ninjas vanished into thin air in a flash.

"..."

Saying goodbye was faster than she slipped away; Yang Xiying's expression was subtle, but at the same time, she was also very playful.

"Ninja Art: Teleportation Technique!"

He casually formed a hand seal and used Instant Transmission to disappear into thin air, which confused the ninjas who were still hiding in the shadows.

Was he a ninja too?

PS: Update!

NO.332+333 Fuchsia Gym Challenge and Wind & Dew Call!

"Welcome to the Crimson Gym, future champion. This gym features various ninja traps and mechanisms. You will receive a badge for each successful challenge."

"Of course, this is only a Level 1 gym trial for the Crimson Gym. You can continue to challenge Level 2 and Level 3 gyms."

"By the way, how many badges has this trainer already obtained? Oh, six, then he can skip the Level 1 trial directly."

"No need, I want to challenge Level 1."

It's a new day, and the Fuchsia City Gym has finally reopened after the weekend, welcoming its first challenger.

This was Yang Xiying, and he chose to challenge Level 1 because he sensed that the gym trainers inside were mostly male.

—This is a good opportunity for him to gain some experience so that his new members can watch the combat footage.

"Oh, so you want to familiarize yourself with what kind of gym this is through level one?"

The bronze-skinned man in sunglasses looked surprised; it was unclear whether he was a relative of one of the other dojo guides.

"Good luck to you then."

Yang Xiying stepped directly into the dojo, which was decorated in a Japanese style. Surprisingly, there were no obstacles in the dojo.

At first glance, it was a very empty room with no walls, and the only people standing there were various gym trainers.

And the gym leader, so the first gym trial is just about defeating the obstacles in the gym to get to the gym leader?

No, that's not the case, because Yang Xiying could sense that there were all sorts of transparent walls set up in the venue.

The way these walls are arranged forms a natural maze, so it's not just about defeating the trainers.

They still needed to find their way out of the maze formed by the transparent walls, but that wouldn't be difficult for Yang Xiying, since he had superpowers.

Therefore, Yang Xiying did not encounter any walls while navigating the maze, which only seemed somewhat strange to outsiders.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so in a place without obstacles, you can just walk straight ahead, but he took a winding and circuitous route.

This also made the gym leaders and A-Ju turn their heads in surprise. Did they realize there was an invisible wall here even before they hit it?

No one who comes here to take on the challenge has ever escaped defeat; there are only two or three exceptions. One girl even managed to shatter the invisible wall!

—That thing has a hardness comparable to steel!

"Your observation skills as a trainer are quite good. Well then, let me be your first opponent."

Yang Xiying soon encountered the first person to wave, a young man who was performing acrobatics. He immediately pulled out his trainer card and challenged Yang Xiying to a battle!

"Go! Gas bomb!"

"Gengar! It's up to you!"

After both sides opened the interdimensional space, they immediately sent out the Pokémon they were going to use. The juggling youth sent out a purple sphere.

Its expression is comical, its whole body is emitting foul gas, and there is a symbol below its mouth indicating that it is highly poisonous.

This is Koffing, the Poison Pokémon. Yang Xiying had seen it before, and it was the pre-evolution of Weezing.

Seeing this thing always reminded Yang Xiying of the Power Sash and Toxic Gas Bomb she encountered when playing the modified version of Ultimate Emerald and fighting Team Rocket minions.

—It's disgusting, and I still have to make him spend money to buy medicine.

Then, knowing that the crimson dojo is themed around poison, Yang Xiying also needs to be prepared, but because it is the first trial.

The opponent doesn't need to bring any items; just let Gengar fight. Gengar also has the Poison type, so it's immune to poison.

It is also effective against the Poison-type Psychic move Psychic. Although it does not have a STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus), Gengar is currently level 42.

The gas bomb, which was only around level 20, was completely overwhelmed, which made the other gym leaders a little nervous.

—Is this guy here to challenge us?

Regardless of whether they challenged the opponent or not, they had to maintain their professionalism. It was just that they were somewhat unwilling to lose to their opponents by deliberately losing.

And your Pokémon are trained to this level, they must have several badges, right? They even challenged the Hammer Trial 1!

—At least try to learn your lesson from Mr. Aju, who is at level two, before you come here!

"Ha, it seems my carefully constructed invisible wall is no match for you at all."

After dealing with several trainers, Yang Xiying quickly arrived in front of Aju, and then the ninja master praised himself.

—And he also asked tentatively.
