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

Page 58

Each time you need to pay 15000 yuan to get 30 hunting balls, you have to leave the hunting area after you use up the hunting balls. If you want to continue hunting, you need to pay another 15000 yuan.

We arrived at the office building in the hunting grounds.

Xiao Mao and Na Zi went up and knocked on the door.

Soon, an elderly cowboy opened the door.

This cowboy is the keeper of the hunting grounds.

"Hello, I'm Caesar, the manager of the hunting grounds." Caesar introduced himself, but it was clear he was introducing himself to Sabrina.

Don't let Caesar's age fool you; he's a total lecher. He doesn't even spare young girls like Xia. If he weren't so old, who knows how many young girls he would have ruined.

“Mr. Caesar, we’ve come to the hunting grounds to capture Pokémon,” Shigeru explained his purpose.

“I understand. You are not allowed to attack the Pokémon in the Safari Zone. You are only allowed to use Safari Balls to capture them. Do you understand?” Caesar said.

"clear."

Are you both going in to catch Pokémon?

"Yes."

"It's 30,000 in total, how do you plan to pay?"

"Swipe your card."

Xiao Mao swiped his card to pay 30,000, and then he and Natsu each received 30 hunting balls before entering the hunting area.

Chapter 82: Searching for the Armored Rhinoceros

Enter the hunting grounds.

Before their eyes was a patch of green grass, where many elves could be seen strolling. These elves noticed Gary and Sabrina, but they all seemed indifferent.

The Safari Zone has existed for many years, and the Pokémon living here are all familiar with its rules. If a Pokémon wants to go with its trainer, it doesn't need to struggle; it can simply be captured by a Poké Ball.

In fact, most Pokémon in the Safari Zone want to be captured.

Because those who can come here to subdue elves are all wealthy, and they live a life of luxury by following humans.

Over time, these elves also became very clever, developing a keen ability to read people and discern who looked wealthy and who didn't.

Furthermore, the Pokémon here generally don't welcome trainers, because trainers use Pokémon to battle.

Although elves can fight, it doesn't mean they want to fight, since fighting can result in injury.

Gary and Sabrina's attire clearly indicated they were trainers, so the Pokémon weren't very enthusiastic when they saw them.

"Moo~!"

"Moo!"

"Moo...!"

The mooing continued all day, the ground began to tremble, and a herd of Tauros came running from afar, galloping wildly across the grass.

"Oh! Kentaro."

Shigeru was surprised; he hadn't expected to encounter Tauros so soon after entering the hunting grounds.

In the first generation, Tauros with the Intimidate ability was the god of the game, because there was no distinction between Attack and Special Attack in the first generation, and Intimidate was a top-tier ability.

Furthermore, Tauros has a base Speed ​​stat of 110 and an Attack stat of 100, which are absolutely outstanding stats in the original version.

"Moo...!"

Even after seeing Gary and Sabrina, the Tauros showed no sign of stopping and kept charging forward.

Gary and Sabrina immediately stepped aside. As the Tauros passed by, they all glanced at Gary and Sabrina, their eyes seemingly filled with anticipation.

However, the Tauros only glanced at it before continuing to run straight ahead.

“These Tauros were watching us just now, Sabrina, did you see them?” Gary asked.

“Yes, they want to be subdued by us,” Naz said.

Xiao Mao was shocked.

He knew there were elves here who wanted to be tamed, but he didn't expect these Tauros to be so proactive.

Upon closer reflection, it's clear that every time Ash tries to catch other Pokémon, these Tauros suddenly rush in and block his Safari Ball. It's a remarkably coincidental occurrence, and it's obvious that the Tauros are doing this on purpose.

It seems that the reason Ash managed to capture 30 Tauros was because these Tauros kept wandering around him, wanting to be captured themselves.

"Then we'll have to be careful when we capture Pokémon," Gary warned.

Ash should catch these Tauros; I have no interest in them myself.

Gary and Sabrina continued deeper into the grasslands of the hunting grounds. They didn't search for long, only about fifteen minutes, before Gary found their target Pokémon.

On the grassland, an armored rhinoceros covered in gray armor was strolling around, occasionally lowering its head to nibble on some grass.

【LV20 Armored Rhino/Normal】

“Little Gary, look, it’s an Armored Rhino.” Sabrina pointed at the Armored Rhino and said, knowing that Little Gary planned to tame it.

"This one isn't good enough." Xiao Mao shook his head slightly. Even an ordinary potential Armored Rhinoceros can't evolve into an Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex, so it's not worth breeding.

Ironclad Rhino can only evolve into Ironclad Tyrannosaurus at level 42. Pokémon with normal potential can only grow to level 30 at most, and those with elite potential can only grow to level 40, which is 2 levels away from the evolution level requirement.

Sabrina didn't say anything. After traveling with Gary for so long, Sabrina discovered that Gary's judgment of Pokémon potential was very accurate; he could almost determine a Pokémon's potential at a glance.

Sabrina attributed Gary's sharp eye to Professor Oak, since Gary grew up around Professor Oak and knew a lot about Pokémon.

“Let’s go, let’s talk to the armored rhinoceros,” Xiao Mao said.

Although this armored rhinoceros has limited potential, it doesn't mean it doesn't recognize other armored rhinoceroses.

"Hello, Ironclad Rhino," Xiao Mao greeted him as he stepped forward.

The armored rhinoceros merely glanced at Xiao Shi, ignored him, and continued its leisurely stroll.

Seeing that the armored rhinoceros ignored him, Xiao Mao didn't care. He took out two green energy cubes and waved them in front of the armored rhinoceros.

The armored rhinoceros stopped and looked at the energy cube swaying in front of it. Although it didn't know what it was, the armored rhinoceros could smell that the energy cube had a very fragrant smell.

"Come and taste it."

Xiao Mao handed the energy cube to the armored rhinoceros.

The armored rhinoceros didn't stand on ceremony and ate it directly, because many people who come here use food to lure the local spirits in order to make it easier to capture them.

"Roar...!" After swallowing the energy cube, the armored rhinoceros's pupils widened considerably; it was the first time it had ever tasted such delicious food.

"Do you want more?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Roar." The armored rhinoceros nodded. Those few energy cubes weren't even enough to satisfy its craving for energy.

Xiao Mao gave the Iron Rhino two more energy cubes, but clearly, that wasn't enough.

“Ironclad Rhino, if you still want it, you’ll have to do me a favor,” Xiao Mao said.

"Roar." With food, even an ox can work. The armored rhinoceros's previous indifferent attitude vanished, and it transformed into a complete licking ox.

"It's simple for me to ask you for help: help me find the other armored rhinos here. For each one you find, I'll give you two energy cubes," Xiao Mao said.

"Roar." The armored rhinoceros looked up and thought for a moment, then agreed to Xiao Mao's conditions and turned its side towards him.

"Do you mean you want me to sit on it?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Roar!"

The armored rhinoceros nodded.

Armored rhinos can be ridden. Because of their broad and thick bodies, the ride is very stable, and armored rhinos races are even held in many regions.

Shigeru and Sabrina sat on the armored rhinoceros.

When the armored rhinoceros runs, its speed is very even, with almost no bumps. The edges of its armor can be used as grips, and it is very stable to sit on.

"Moo!"

"Moo~...!"

Before long, a group of Tauros rushed over, deliberately passing by this spot. However, when these Tauros discovered that Gary and Sabrina were on Rhydon's back, they immediately showed disappointment and turned away quickly.

Not long after, the armored rhinoceros carried Shigeru and Sabrina to a forest where there was an armored rhinoceros.

【LV21 Armored Rhino ♂/Normal】

This armored rhinoceros has only average potential, and Shigeru definitely won't tame it.

"Let's go find another one," said Xiao Mao.

Chapter 83: Armored Tyrannosaurus

"Roar." The armored rhinoceros nodded, indicating that it was okay, and handed over the energy cube first.

As agreed, Xiao Mao also gave the Iron Rhino two energy cubes to eat.

After eating the Power Cube, the Armored Rhino continued its search for more Armored Rhinoes with Gary and Sabrina. They soon arrived at the Rocky Region and encountered two more Armored Rhinoes along the way, but unfortunately, they were of normal and elite potential, respectively, and could not be tamed.

"Roar!" After finding more than a dozen armored rhinoceroses, the armored rhinoceroses suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mao asked, puzzled.

“The armored rhinoceros says there are no other armored rhinoceroses here,” Natsume said.

Xiao Mao had pinned his hopes on the Safari Zone for the Ironhide Rhino, but there were only a dozen or so Ironhide Rhinos in the Safari Zone – that's a really small number.

Still somewhat unwilling to give up, Xiao Mao tentatively asked, "Are there any Ironhide Tyrannosaurus Rex around here?"

“Roar! (There is one.)” said the armored rhinoceros.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that there was an Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Xiao Mao was speechless. If he had known there was an Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex, he wouldn't have bothered looking for an Armored Rhino.

Armored Rhinoceros: ? ? ?

Didn't you say you were looking for the Armored Rhino? You didn't ask if there was an Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex, so what's it to me?

"Then please take us to find the Ironclad Rhino," Xiao Mao said, handing three Power Cubes to the Ironclad Rhino.

The armored rhinoceros wasn't petty at all. After eating the energy cube, it led Shigeru and the others to the area where the armored tyrannosaurus was active.
