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

As soon as he finished speaking, five or six auction staff members pushed a large cage onto the display stand, inside which was a giant elf.

"Gabimon!"

"They're actually auctioning off such a spirit."

"Snorlax eats too much, nobody wants it."

The guests in the audience showed no interest in the elves in the cage.

"Not interested in this at all?" Gary was dumbfounded; Snorlax was being rejected.

Back when I was playing the Pokémon series, Snorlax blocked my way. Without the Poké Flute, I couldn't wake up Snorlax at all.

Furthermore, Snorlax is an overpowered Pokémon in the Kanto region, with a base stat total of 540, 160 of which is allocated to HP, making it incredibly durable. Combined with Leftovers and the Rest move, it's practically unbeatable.

It's worth noting that among all of Ash's Pokémon, Snorlax has the highest K/D ratio. Every time it enters the battle, it can take down one or even two or three of the opponent's Pokémon. Its record is even more impressive than Charizard and Pikachu.

But when it was put up for auction, no one here showed any interest whatsoever.

Gary was clearly overthinking it. Snorlax is indeed powerful, but it's also incredibly lazy, only slightly lazier than Slaking. Being that lazy, it's impossible for it to compete normally.

In addition, Snorlax has a large appetite. Although it can eat cheap thorns, how can a trainer stay in a place where thorns grow for a long time? Therefore, raising Snorlax is a big problem, since trainers can only carry a limited amount of food when traveling.

However, this doesn't bother Gary, because Professor Oak has specially made Energy Cubes, and just two are enough to fill Snorlax's stomach.

only...!

【LV28 Snorlax (male) / Gym】

The Snorlax in front of us is too low-level. Gary has already caught enough Pokémon, and we need to improve their potential. If we catch another Snorlax, it will be difficult to allocate resources later.

So I'll have to miss out on this Snorlax.

"This Snorlax was found in the Orange Islands. Its ability is Immunity, and it knows moves like Tackle, Rest, and Sleep Talk...!" Ishibashi began to introduce Snorlax's data in an orderly manner.

Gary was also quite surprised. It seemed that Ash caught Snorlax during his trip to the Orange Islands, but it shouldn't be the same one. Ash's Snorlax was very powerful, at least with the potential to become an Elite Four member.

"Starting bid: 300 million! Each bid must be at least 10. Bidding begins now," Shiqiao announced.

"310!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another woman raised a sign.

"320!"

But soon, another man held up a sign.

Although people don't particularly like Snorlax, there are still people willing to spend money to buy a Snorlax with gym potential, since those who can enter this gym are usually from wealthy families.

In the end, this Snorlax sold for four million.

Next, the second Pokémon... was a Horsea Seahorse.

The appearance of the black seahorse immediately drew cheers from the audience.

Horsea is a relatively rare Pokémon, and its appearance is very cute, making it popular with girls. Crucially, Horsea has dragon blood in its veins, and after evolving into Seadra, it can use dragon scales to evolve into Kingdra, which has the dragon attribute.

Especially since this Horsea Seafoam has gym potential, it immediately sparked cheers from the crowd. Within minutes, the price reached 500 million, and it was finally sold for 680 million.

The Pokémon that were subsequently put up for auction were all quite ordinary: Nidoran, Totodile, Teddiursa, Shellder, Oddish, Zigzagoon, Dilophosaurus, and Nerubian.

Among the ten Pokémon are those from other regions, but they are all quite ordinary. Only a few are worth raising, though they all have good potential.

But none of them could move Xiao Shi's heart. If there was one Pokémon that could move Xiao Shi's heart, it was Shellder.

Because this Shellder is shiny, Shigeru always remembered the system's mission: if he could capture 10 shiny Pokémon, he could obtain a high-level shiny charm.

Unfortunately, shiny Pokémon are extremely rare, no matter where they are. Everyone present was wealthy, and when Shellder was auctioned off, the price instantly reached eight figures, making Gary hesitate.

After all, shiny Pokémon are only different in appearance from their counterparts, and there are no other differences. If it's under eight figures, Gary might be willing to buy it, but buying a Shellder with the potential to become a Gym Leader for over eight figures would be a huge loss.

"It's a pity, none of the Pokémon auctioned today are the ones we need," Sabrina said regretfully. She had also hoped to see if there were any Slowpoke Pokémon with Gym potential at the auction, but unfortunately, there weren't any.

"Let's check again tomorrow. If it's not there, then forget it," Xiao Mao said.

"Ok!"

Naz nodded.

As the two prepared to leave, the lights in the auction house suddenly dimmed, leaving only a single spotlight shining on the center of the stage.

"what happened?"

Xiao Mao was taken aback, thinking that there was some special Pokémon going to be featured at the auction.

Chapter 45: Team Rocket, Yamato and Kosaburo!

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two dark figures appeared on the central exhibition platform.

"Ah...! Who are you?" Ishibashi was completely bewildered. There was no performance scheduled for today, and he didn't recognize the two people on stage. They shouldn't be auction staff.

"Since you asked the question sincerely."

"Normally, I won't answer."

"...!"

A man and a woman threw off their robes, revealing Team Rocket uniforms. The woman had long blonde hair, and the man had green hair.

"What! The Rockets!"

"What are the Rockets doing here?!"

Those present knew about the Rockets and what kind of team they were.

"How did they end up here?" Xiao Shi was surprised and suspicious. The other party was none other than Yamato and Kosaburo, the rivals of the Rockets trio.

These two guys hold a very special position on the Rockets and have performed exceptionally well.

"Security!" Ishibashi shouted immediately.

However, no one came up.

"Stop shouting. When we came back in, we had already taken care of all your men," Kosaburo said disdainfully.

"Those who know what's good for them, surrender and hand over all your elves, and we might spare your lives," Amado threatened.

After saying that, a group of Team Rocket henchmen rushed in with rocket launchers and machine guns. This time, it wasn't just Yamato and Kosaburo who were on the mission; they had brought other Team Rocket members with them.

Instantly, the people in the hall panicked. Although they were rich, none of them were trainers, and although they had Pokémon, their strength was not very high, and they were all unable to deal with these firearms.

After all, wealthy trainers wouldn't care about the Pokémon at the auction, and poor trainers couldn't even get into such a high-class place, so they would just become fish on the chopping block.

"Naza, how many people are there?" Xiao Mao asked.

“There are twelve people in total,” Naz replied.

Sabrina is a psychic with extremely sharp senses. As soon as the two Team Rocket members appeared, Sabrina activated her senses to detect how many Team Rocket members were nearby.

"Can you handle these people?"

"can."

"Then I'll release my Pokémon later and they can go straight for the people with firearms. There's no need to hold back," said Shigeru.

"it is good."

Naz nodded in agreement.

Gary coldly watched the Team Rocket members in front of him, put his hands on his waist, took out five Poké Balls and threw them out.

Great...!

Wartortle, Exeggutor, Scizor, Zubat, and Alakazam appear.

"Exeggutor, Alakazam, use Reflect to protect everyone. Wartortle, Zubat, Scizor, attack the weapons on Team Rocket's bodies!" Gary immediately issued the commands.

"what!"

"Watch the cannon!"

"What's going on? Why can't I press the switch?"

The 10 Team Rocket members, armed with firearms, discovered that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't press the weapon triggers.

Sabrina's eyes flashed with blue light; she had used her telekinesis to render these firearms unusable.

"Kami!" Squirtle fired a barrage of water gun shots, instantly knocking the rocket launchers out of the hands of the two Team Rocket members.

Scizor used its speed boost to instantly eliminate the Team Rocket member wielding a rifle, casually smashing all the rifles in the process.

Crossbat used his cross-shaped poison blade to destroy the firearms in the hands of the others.

"Hu!"

Alakazam also used his telekinesis to seize all the grenades from the Team Rocket members.

"what!"

"who are you?"

Yamato and Kosaburo were surprised to find trainers at the auction. They had done their research and found that everyone who could enter the auction was from a wealthy family, and none of them were trainers.

Xiao Mao and Na Zi also stepped forward from the crowd.

"Two little devils?!" Yamato was shocked to see Shigeru and Natsume, never expecting that it was two children who had done it.

"You two brats dare to interfere in Team Rocket's affairs! I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Yamato was clearly unaware of his current situation, spouting nonsense and throwing a Poké Ball.

Baton!

A large rat appeared.

"Kami!"

Upon seeing this, Squirtle immediately came to Gary's side.

"Come out, Zubat!"

"Go, little Rada!"

"...!"

When the Team Rocket members saw that their firearms had been destroyed and captured, they released their Pokémon, but they were all Zubat, Rattata, and the like, which were all second-rate Pokémon, with the highest potential being only elites.
