Chapter 3
The Late Little Zhi

“System, how do I use the Silver Crown?” Xiao Mao decided to train his Squirtle as his main Pokemon. Since the Silver Crown could enhance the potential of Pokemon below Champion level, he decided to use it directly.

【Host, simply think about which Pokemon you want to use it on and what item you want to use, and it will automatically be used. 】

“Use the Silver Crown on Squirtle.” Xiao Mao thought to himself.

【Ding! Use successful, Squirtle's potential has been raised to Champion level. 】

“Hmm~ not bad!”

Xiao Mao nodded in satisfaction. Now, he could continue to train Squirtle.

A Pokemon's level growth is closely related to its potential.

Pokemon Potential Classification: Normal (LV1~29), Elite (LV30~39), Gym (LV40~49), Quasi-King (LV50~59), King (LV60~69), Champion (LV70~79), Quasi-Legendary (LV80~89), Legendary (LV90~99).

“Now it’s Champion level. If it develops normally by the time of the Silver Conference, Blastoise definitely won’t lose to Satoshi’s Charizard.”

Xiao Mao didn’t want to repeat his defeat at the Silver Conference.

Forget the Silver Conference, even the Kanto region’s Indigo League was the same. This time, Xiao Mao was going to win the Indigo League championship.

“Let’s go!”

After enhancing Squirtle's potential, Xiao Mao decided to set off on his journey immediately.

As for the low-level Rare Candies in his backpack, he didn't plan on using them now, considering they could only be used on Pokemon below level 30.

Currently, Squirtle was still at a low level, and Xiao Mao could train it himself. He could use the low-level Rare Candies after Squirtle reached level 20, which would be more efficient.

Xiao Mao had only obtained the system recently, and the tasks it currently issued were completely random.

Xiao Mao also needed time to slowly figure out the pattern behind the tasks the system issued, so he had to use his current resources wisely.

“Grandpa, I’m leaving.” Xiao Mao greeted Professor Oak when he came out of the room.

“Xiao Mao, are you sure you don’t want to bring an assistant on your journey?” Professor Oak asked with concern.

Professor Oak was very fond of his grandson.

This could be seen from the plot of the original series. He directly arranged a Rolls Royce for Xiao Mao's journey, as well as a dedicated assistant.

Even Xiao Mao found a bunch of girlfriends, making others envious. He was the epitome of a rich second-generation character.

However, the Xiao Mao in front of him was not the arrogant Xiao Mao from the original story. Even without the system, Xiao Mao planned to travel alone. Only in this way could he experience the fun of traveling.

“Alright, be sure to tell me if you encounter any difficulties while you’re out there.” Professor Oak instructed.

“Don't worry, Grandpa, I’ll definitely tell you if anything happens.” Xiao Mao said.

“Then take this, this is the Pokedex I developed. If you encounter any Pokemon on the road, the Pokedex will tell you what kind of Pokemon it is.” Professor Oak took a red Pokedex out of his pocket.

The Pokedex was invented by Professor Oak, and later on, it evolved into the Rotom phone Pokedex.

However, the current Pokedex was still too simple. It only recorded Pokemon from the Kanto region. Other regional Pokemon were also recorded, but only their names and photos were recorded. There was no information about their data.

Xiao Mao took the Pokedex Professor Oak handed him and carefully examined it. It was indeed very rudimentary, so he suggested, “Grandpa, shouldn’t you try to integrate Pokemon into the electronic Pokedex? That would make the Pokedex more intelligent.”

“Oh, integrate Pokemon into the Pokedex!” Professor Oak suddenly became startled. He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of this before. He was surprised and said, “Xiao Mao, how did you come up with this?”

“Grandpa, I remember that in the Sinnoh region, there’s a Pokemon called Rotom that can possess appliances, making them more intelligent. You could try it.”

“Then I’ll be off now.”

Xiao Mao had said all he needed to say.

After all, he was just a 10-year-old kid. It was great that he could come up with a conceptual idea. It would scare people to death if he actually created the Rotom Pokedex.

“Rotom and the Pokedex… maybe I could try that.” Professor Oak thought silently about the suggestion Xiao Mao gave him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a good idea. He completely forgot that Xiao Mao had already left.

......!

Outside the Oak Research Lab.

“Go! Go! Xiao Mao!”

“Amazing! Amazing! Xiao Mao...!”

The crowd outside was abuzz with excitement. They were all people from the town. Knowing that there were four new trainers in town, they had all come to cheer them on and send them off.

At this moment, Xiao Mao pushed his Lightning bike to the entrance, and his cheerleaders cheered him on.

“Sigh~ Even in my second life, I’m still so cool.” Xiao Mao shook his head, deliberately letting his bangs sway, which immediately made the girls in the cheering squad’s hearts flutter.

Xiao Mao didn’t want to be like this, but he couldn't help it because he was too handsome, and he was also Professor Oak’s grandson. It was difficult for the girls in Pallet Town not to be attracted to Xiao Mao.

But Xiao Mao knew very well that these girls were too superficial. They were all women who were attracted to men and loved to show off. It was fine to play around with them occasionally, but they were absolutely not suitable as girlfriends.

Moreover, Xiao Mao wasn’t interested in these young girls at all.

“Satoshi that guy is definitely late again.” Xiao Mao looked around but didn’t see Satoshi’s figure. It was clear that he was late.

As a time traveler, Xiao Mao didn't change the plot. After all, if Satoshi wasn’t late, he wouldn’t have met Pikachu.

“Excuse me, could you please move aside?”

After a while, a young man wearing green pajamas squeezed through the crowd.

“That’s Satoshi!” When Xiao Mao saw Satoshi, he was delighted and immediately taunted, “Satoshi, you’re late right from the start!”

“Xiao Mao!”

Satoshi had just squeezed through the crowd and was still a little dazed, but he still recognized Xiao Mao.

“As my opponent, you’re already late on the first day of becoming a trainer. You’ve lost to me from the very beginning.” Xiao Mao said.

“So, have you already gotten your Pokemon, Xiao Mao?” Satoshi didn’t pay any attention to Xiao Mao's mockery. Instead, he was curious about what kind of Pokemon Xiao Mao had received.

Xiao Mao was speechless about Satoshi. He was clearly taunting him, but Satoshi was still focusing on the Pokemon.

It had to be said that this was also one of Satoshi’s advantages. Xiao Mao admired Satoshi's genuine love for Pokemon.

“Instead of asking me this, you should go to my grandpa to get your Pokemon. You’re late, and it’s a question whether you’ll even be able to get your starter Pokemon.” Xiao Mao said.

“What!”

“My Pokemon, Xiao Mao, I’m not going to chat with you anymore.”

Satoshi suddenly panicked and immediately rushed into Professor Oak’s research lab.

After watching Satoshi run into the Oak Research Lab, Xiao Mao also rode his mountain bike and left.
