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

In particular, Naz's naturally aloof and noble temperament is something that all international supermodels can only dream of.

"That's amazing! Naza, you're a natural-born top model. If you're interested in runway shows, I can recommend you to the modeling world," Hengzi said excitedly.

“I have no interest in being a runway model,” Naz said.

Nazi has a personality that keeps strangers at bay. Taking photos is fine, but making her walk the runway in front of a crowd, being watched like a monkey, is something she can't stand...

"Are you interested in making movies? You'd be perfect for the lead role in a film," Hengzi said.

"Making a movie...!" Naz looked bewildered. She had seen movies before, but she never expected to have the opportunity to act in one herself, and she was immediately excited.

"Where was the movie filmed?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Of course, it's the movie 'Elf Hollywood.' Hollywood is planning to launch a new series called 'Elf Special Forces.' There are several main characters, and the director wants an actress with a cold temperament, but he hasn't been able to find a suitable role. I think you, Naz, are perfect for the part," Hengzi said.

“But…I’ve never studied acting before? Can I act?” Naz asked.

“You can learn if you don’t know how. I personally think you have a lot of talent for acting. Besides, this TV series doesn’t have any romance scenes. It’s just about a girl with superpowers out of control. It shouldn’t be too difficult,” Hengzi said.

A girl whose superpowers have gone out of control...!

Naz said she felt subtly mocked, but the role seemed tailor-made for her.

“Miss Hengzi, I need to think about it and cannot give you an answer at the moment,” Naz said.

"Alright, here's my business card. If you've thought it through, you can contact me anytime. But this drama will start filming in six months, so you only have two months to think it over." Hengzi handed his business card to Nazi.

If others had this opportunity, they would definitely agree to give it a try, regardless of whether it succeeds or not.

But there's no need to worry about Sabrina's identity. She's a superhuman with a status far higher than movie stars. If Sabrina wanted to make a movie, Hollywood would welcome her warmly.

After the shooting.

Xiao Mao and Na Zi are having dinner at the restaurant.

Naza remained as aloof as ever, but after spending time with her, Xiao Mao noticed that she was deep in thought.

"Naza, you can talk to me about anything that's bothering you," Xiao Mao said, giving Naza a chance to speak.

Naza looked at Mao, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Mao, I've never been able to find something I want to do before. Now that I have the opportunity to make a movie, I want to give it a try."

"Then let's give it a try," Xiao Mao said.

"But I have to go to the Unova region to film, so I can't travel with you."

"What does it matter? We have a long life ahead of us. Are you planning to travel with me forever?" Xiao Mao said, "Wouldn't that be a waste of your time?"

"Don't you want to travel with me?" Sabrina's expression was unfriendly; judging from Gary's attitude, he couldn't wait for her to go to Elf Hollywood to film a movie.

"Of course not. My trip went so smoothly thanks to your help. But you said you have your own things to do, so of course I can't stop you from going just for my own sake. I hope that you can become the person you want to be. And if you really become a big star in the future, don't forget me." Xiao Mao said.

Hearing what Xiao Mao said made Na Zi feel a little better, but she was still hesitant about whether to leave.

“Naza, don’t hesitate. Life is about trying new things. Don’t worry about me. Aren’t you worried about me traveling alone?” Xiao Mao said.

“Alright, I’ll leave after you’ve captured Moltres,” Sabrina said.

“That might not work,” Xiao Mao shook his head and said, “I’m not sure if Moltres will appear at Mount Lamp. If it appears for half a year, it will delay your filming.”

“Then let’s wait two months,” Naz said.

“Two months is too much for you. You only have two months to think. It will take you time to get to the Unova region, and you will also need to learn how to perform. I suggest that you go to the Unova region after one month, regardless of whether you encounter Moltres or not,” Gary said.

"Okay, I listen to you."

Although reluctant, Nazi still wants to go and film. After all, it's not easy to have something she wants to do, so she should give it a try.

The next day, Naz told Hengzi that she was willing to act in the film. Hengzi said that after she finished filming on the island of Shichi, she would return to the Chong region and call Naz. If the director agreed, he would call Naz.

Furthermore, Hengzi also stated that he could not guarantee that Naz would get the role. Hengzi was only giving Naz an audition opportunity, and if she did not pass, Hengzi would recommend her to other production teams.

After all that talk, Hengzi still couldn't give a guarantee.

However, Xiao Mao didn't think it was a big problem, because Sabrina later developed her career in Elf Hollywood and became a famous movie star. He believed that the director of Super Power Team would take a liking to Sabrina.

After three days of taking the photos she wanted, Hengzi left to take pictures on other islands.

Shigeru was finally able to search for Moltres as planned. Although Moltres is one of the three legendary birds, it is very combative and can even be challenged by some powerful wild Pokémon.

For example, Ash's Infernape actively seeks out Moltres to battle during the journey.

After all, the flame for the League Tournament is made from the flame of Moltres, which shows that Moltres itself is a symbol of battle.

Gary and Sabrina rode Blastoise across land and sea to reach the entrance of Mount Lampfire.

Instead of going through the cave, Shigeru chose the outside path and went directly to the top of the volcano. As for why he didn't just fly up, he naturally wanted to see if there were any Pokémon worth catching.

The collection mission for Team Blue and Green issued by the system is not yet complete. Currently, we still need to capture three Pokémon: Gyarados, Heracross, and Machamp.

Gyarados has already been decided. Heracross isn't on the Seven Islands, so Machamp isn't included either, but Machop and Machoke are.

Machop and Machoke are not Fire-type Pokémon, but they like to stay in places full of rocks because they like to punch rocks to exercise and use rocks as weights for training.

Gary wanted to see if he could meet a Machamp he liked, so he teleported Aerodactyl and Tyranitar back to Professor Oak's lab, leaving two empty slots.

Bang! Bang! Bang...!

When they reached the middle of the mountain, Shigeru and Sabrina found a relatively open area where a group of arm wrestlers and gorillas were hammering rocks in an open space, some of them using the rocks for weightlifting.

【LV35 Arm Strength♂/Elite】

【LV31 Arm Strength♂/Elite】

【LV33 Arm Strength♂/Elite】

【LV38 Powerful Female/Elite】

【LV39 Powerful♂/Elite】

There were five Pokémon in total. Gary glanced at them but lost interest; they all had Elite Abilities and were not worth his time.

When Xiao Shiu catches a Pokémon, the minimum potential is at least Elite Four level. Although the standard is very high, if he encounters a Pokémon he particularly likes, he can lower it to near-Elite Four level. This is the bottom line and cannot be lowered any further.

"What? These arm wrestling and power techniques don't appeal to you?" Sabrina asked.

Sabrina's knowledge of Pokémon is not as extensive as Gary's, but she can tell that Machop and Machoke are healthy and seem to be doing well.

"They're well-trained, but they're all too old. Judging from the force with which they shattered rocks, their strength isn't even at the gym level. At such an old age, if their strength hasn't reached the gym level, their potential is definitely lacking," said Shigeru.

“Is that so? Then let’s take our time looking,” Naz said.

The two continued climbing the mountain, and along the way they saw Fire-type Pokémon such as Ponyta, Vulpix, and Magmar. Near the crater, they also saw Lava Bug and Lava Snail, which are unique to the Johto region.

Unfortunately, I haven't encountered a single high-potential Pokémon. The highest potential is only Elite, and I haven't even met a Pokémon with Gym potential. My luck is really bad.

We arrived at the top of the volcano.

Looking down at the scorching lava, Xiao 523 Mao could see Lava Bugs and Lava Snails moving around on it, as well as Magmar. All three of these Pokémon could live in lava.

"Zaporn, come out," Gary said, releasing Zapdos. "Let's change the weather around here."

"Aww!!"

Zapdos cried out and flew into the sky.

Lava Bugs and Lava Snails, which live in magma, all hid when they saw Zapdos, as did Magmar. The aura of the legendary Pokémon still had an effect on these ordinary Pokémon.

Soon, a layer of dark clouds covered the sky above Denghuo Mountain, followed by a light drizzle.

The raindrops fell on the lava, making a hissing sound. The rainwater evaporated instantly, and as the rain became more and more intense, wisps of white smoke rose up.

Xiao Mao and Na Zi watched quietly from the side, and could smell a strong sulfur odor.

Xiao Mao planned to force Moltres out because Moltres sensed the change in the weather outside. If it was really in the lava, it would definitely come out and change the cloudy day to a sunny day, which would help it recover.

Because sunlight can also restore the energy of Fire-type Pokémon.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the lava inside the crater remained still. It seemed that the Moltres was not going to be here anytime soon.

168: Skillful Witch

"Zetzart, you can remove the rain now!" Gary shouted to the sky.

The dark clouds that had been hanging over Mount Lantern dispersed, revealing the sun once more, and Gary recalled Zapdos.

"Naza, we can go now," said Xiao Mao.

"Leave? Isn't Moltres here?" Sabrina asked, puzzled.

"It looks like he's not here. Let's come back in a week. Let's go check out the second island," said Xiao Mao.

It was already very lucky to encounter Articuno on Twin Islands, so it's normal not to encounter Moltres this time. However, it's certain that Moltres will come to places like Lantern Mountain to rest, so we can just wait patiently.

Anyway, there's more than one legendary Pokémon like Moltres. Gary knows of at least four Moltres, so the number is quite considerable. We can wait and see.

"Shall we go to the second island?" Naz asked.

“Let’s just treat this as a trip, but I need to visit a skill-teaching fanatic,” said Xiao Mao.

"A skills-teaching maniac?" Sabrina looked puzzled.

"The northernmost island of the second island of the Seven Islands is called Edge Cape. There lives a professor madman who can teach three different elemental techniques: grass, fire, and water. I'd like to visit him and see if I can teach Blastoise some special techniques," said Gary.

This trip to the Seven Islands wasn't just about catching the Moltres, but also about acquiring its ultimate technique.

These three ultimate skills are Crazy Plant, Explosive Flame, and Hydro Cannon, skills that only the starter Pokémon can master.

In the game, the location where the three skills are taught is on the second island of the Seven Islands, and this skill fanatic also exists in reality, so Shigeru naturally has to go and pay him a visit.

"Ultimate skill! What kind of skill is it?" Sabrina asked curiously.

"You'll know once you go. Let's go," Xiao Mao said, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

The two hurriedly left Lantern Mountain and returned to the town. In the afternoon, they took a speedboat to the second island.

They arrived at the second island in the afternoon, so Shigeru and Sabrina decided to go find the skill maniac first.

After making inquiries, it was confirmed that the skill fanatic lived in the Edge Strait. This skill fanatic was a prayer master, an elderly woman.

This old woman has a strange personality. She doesn't teach just anyone. Whether you can learn a secret skill from her depends entirely on her mood. If she's in a bad mood, she won't teach you no matter how much money you offer. Her temperament is rather eccentric.

Shigeru didn't care. Since this old woman was famous, she must have taught other trainers' Pokémon. It's just that the Pokémon that were turned away were not strong enough.
