Azure City.
It took a week, but Xiao Mao and Nanasu finally arrived in Azure City, home to the Flying Technique training center.
The training center was a driving school, which, in addition to teaching Pokemon how to fly, also taught people how to fly airplanes.
“Hello, how can I help you?” A man wearing a blue work uniform approached them at the entrance hall.
“I want my Pokemon to learn Flying Technique.” Xiao Mao explained his purpose.
“Oh, you’re here to learn Flying Technique. Go to window number 3.” The man pointed to a window on the right.
Xiao Mao and Nanasu followed the man’s directions.
At window number 3, a young lady was sitting there.
“Hello, this is the window for Flying Technique learning. Are both of your Pokemon going to learn it?” The young lady asked.
“It’s my Pokemon that needs to learn it.” Xiao Mao said.
“Alright.” The young lady nodded and asked, “What kind of Pokemon is it?”
“Pidgeot, Crobat, Aerodactyl.” Xiao Mao replied.
“Okay, I’ll take note of that.”
The young lady entered the names of the Pokemon, Pidgeot and Crobat, into the form. When she was about to write Aerodactyl, she paused, then turned to ask, “Sir, you said Aerodactyl, right?”
“Yeah.”
The young lady “......!”
“Sir, you’re not joking, right? Aerodactyl is an extinct Pokemon.” The young lady reminded him.
“No, if you don’t believe me, I can bring out Aerodactyl to show you.” Xiao Mao said.
“No need.”
The young lady was surprised. Although Aerodactyl was an extinct Pokemon, it still existed in the present day.
Currently, the champion of the Johto League, Lance, had an Aerodactyl.
“Sir, what is your name?” The young lady asked.
“Da Mu Mao.”
After filling out the form, the young lady briefly explained the curriculum. The training period was one month. In the first week, there would be coaches to teach. Each session would be one hour. Afterward, they would need to train themselves and supervise their Pokemon. The second half of the month would also be for training themselves, according to the instructions provided.
If they couldn’t master Flying Technique after one month, the driving school would not be responsible.
If they wanted to continue learning, the second payment would be half price, but there would be no guarantee that they would be taught. All subsequent payments would also be half price.
“I understand.”
Xiao Mao didn’t say much and paid nine thousand.
The driving school also had Pokemon teleporters. Xiao Mao asked Professor Oak to send Crobat over, while he sent his own Growlithe over.
After paying the registration fee.
The next morning.
Xiao Mao arrived at the training ground of the driving school.
When he arrived, he saw the coach already there. Beside the coach was a Pidgeot standing tall like a man.

“Hello, I’m Xiao Mao. I’m here to learn Flying Technique.” Xiao Mao walked up to the coach and Pidgeot.
“Hello, my name is A Jin. I’m the Flying Technique coach. Go ahead and release your Pokemon.” A Jin said.
Xiao Mao nodded.
“Come out!”
Bang!!
Pidgeot, Crobat, and Aerodactyl appeared on the scene.
“Oh! Aerodactyl!”
Seeing Aerodactyl, A Jin was startled. He hadn’t expected that one of the students would have an extinct Aerodactyl.
“Coach, can we start the training?” Xiao Mao asked.
It has to be said, Aerodactyl was incredibly famous, even more famous than the Legendary Dragonite. After all, it was an extinct Pokemon.
Currently, Aerodactyl was much rarer than Dragonite.
“Okay. Have your Pokemon fly up to the sky first. Let my Pidgeot demonstrate Flying Technique to your Pokemon.” A Jin said.
Hearing this, Xiao Mao made his three Pokemon fly up to the sky. A Jin’s Pidgeot also flew up and demonstrated Flying Technique for Xiao Mao’s three Pokemon to observe.
Learning Flying Technique wasn’t too difficult. As long as the Pokemon could control wind element energy, they could learn it.
The first step was to use the power of the wind element to construct an air shield around the body to fly.
Xiao Mao’s three Pokemon were all at high levels. They had excellent control over wind element energy. The first step was simple. All three Pokemon successfully built an air shield around themselves.
They successfully built the air shield, but every time they flew, the air shield would shatter. An air shield like that wouldn’t be able to withstand the wind resistance of full-speed flight.
“Not bad. Your three Pokemon are very strong. All you need to do now is to stabilize the air shield. Mastering it within a month is no problem.” A Jin said.
“Really? That’s great.”
Xiao Mao nodded in satisfaction, while taking in A Jin.
A Jin wasn’t simply a Flying Technique coach. He was also the Gym Leader of the Azure Gym.
Xiao Mao came here mainly to learn Flying Technique, and also to challenge the Azure Gym.
Xiao Mao had been paying attention to A Jin’s Pidgeot, and it was incredibly strong. Its flying technique was stronger than Xiao Mao’s three Pokemon.
“Time’s up. Spend some time with your Pokemon. I’ll go ahead.” A Jin looked at the time. It was already one hour. He had to leave.
“Okay, see you tomorrow, coach.” A Jin waved his hand towards the sky.
“Pi!”
Pidgeot immediately swooped down and landed in front of A Jin.
“See you tomorrow.” A Jin said and then rode Pidgeot away. Pidgeot used Flying Technique, its air shield enveloped him and A Jin, then it soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
“Not only is it fast, it’s also very flexible. Looks like the Gym battle will be a bit troublesome.” Xiao Mao muttered.
Xiao Mao had investigated. The battleground of the Azure Gym was an open area, with a large range of movement. Using non-flying Pokemon to fight him would be difficult.
After all, Flying-type Pokemon had air supremacy and could launch attacks from the air. Ground Pokemon could only defend or evade. Even if they had air-targeting moves, they might not be able to hit the opponent.
Especially A Jin’s Pidgeot. It was so fast, and his other Flying-type Pokemon wouldn’t be much slower.
“It seems like the Gym battle will be up to the three of them.” Xiao Mao looked up at the three Pokemon who were practicing Flying Technique hard.
Aerodactyl had Rock-type, which countered Flying-type Pokemon. It would definitely be the main fighter in the upcoming Gym battle.
Half a month passed.
“Mr. Xiao Mao, your package has arrived. Please come and claim it.” On this day, Xiao Mao came to the counter, and Nurse Joy informed him that there was a package for him.
The things in this package were naturally the equipment needed for Tyranitar to evolve. The task given by the system was completed. It was time for Tyranitar to evolve.
