Chapter 5: Shining Metagross

---

"This is Squallville!"

After arriving in the Sinnoh region by flight, Gary did not sit idle but rushed to a small town in the Sinnoh region, Squallville.

Looking at the small town surrounded by mountains in front of him, Gary was also full of emotion for a while.

As for why Gary came to this nameless town in the Sinnoh region, I think every reader should know.

Yes, Gary's purpose for coming here is to get the nearby Shiny Metagross, the same platinum Metagross as the former champion of the Hoenn League, Steven.

You must know that Metagross, as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, is already very precious, and the preciousness of the Shiny Metagross now, I think it goes without saying that you know its value.

"Nowadays, the Shiny Metagross is still the main one."

Although Gary felt a little tired after a long journey, the urgent desire to capture the Shiny Metagross made Gary give up the idea of resting. He left Squallville and continued towards the Shiny Metagross.

According to Gary's memory from his previous life, this Shiny Metagross is located in a mountain range between Squallville and Grass Town.

After determining the approximate location of the Shiny Metagross, Gary immediately left Squallville and continued towards Grass Town.

After spending a long time, Gary saw a mountain range in the forest as he wished.

"This should be where the Shiny Metagross appears!"

Standing in the forest, Gary looked at the mountains not far ahead, and his heart became more and more expectant.

In particular, after Gary used the power of Evergreen and talked with several wild Pokémon around, he confirmed from them that the Shiny Metagross lived in the mountains ahead.

After seeing that the destination was not far ahead, Gary could not help but speed up his pace and continued towards the mountains ahead.

In a short while, Gary walked into this mountain range and began to look for the target of this trip, the Shiny Metagross.

In this way, Gary explored step by step in the mountains, but he never found the Shiny Metagross he wanted.

"Strange, isn't it this mountain?"

Gary had some doubts about not finding the Shiny Metagross for a long time, but they were soon dispelled.

"But the Pokémon nearby are very sure that the Shiny Metagross lives here, and Pokémon do not lie."

"It seems that we need to look carefully!"

After thinking it through, Gary, who had taken a short break, started looking again.

However, when Gary was walking in a small canyon in the mountains, a slight movement immediately attracted the attention of the highly alert Gary.

"That is..."

Gary, who heard the movement, immediately looked towards the place where the sound came from, and soon saw a scene that surprised him.

He saw a Pokémon with a platinum body and a giant golden X mark on its face appear on a small mountain peak.

There is no doubt that this Pokémon that just appeared is the Shiny Metagross that Gary has been pursuing.

The Shiny Metagross that was discovered by Gary was staring at him.

Although it felt a warm and intimate breath from Gary, it had to be alert to Gary's intentions after living in the wild for a long time.

At the same time, the Shiny Metagross also let out a hiss, and the meaning of the words was known to Gary, who had the power of Evergreen, asking him to leave its territory.

Looking at the alert Shiny Metagross, Gary immediately used the power of Evergreen, which could get close to the Pokémon, to bring him and Shiny Metagross closer.

Because of the influence of the affinity of Evergreen, Shiny Metagross was a little wary, but there was no extreme behavior.

After Gary took a few steps closer, he found that Shiny Metagross did not have any extreme reaction, and soon came to it.

"Metagross, the purpose of my trip is to find you."

Gary came to the front of Shiny Metagross and did not hide it, but directly stated his purpose, to capture it.

After hearing Gary's straightforward words, Shiny Metagross was also slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

After seeing Shiny Metagross fall into deep thought, Gary also took the time to persuade it.

"I think Metagross, life in this mountain range is also quite hard, after all, eating wind and rain, it's not good no matter how you think about it."

Gary paused and continued: "As long as you are willing to follow me, the quality of life will be guaranteed to be raised to several levels."

Gary said this with confidence; he is not Ash, whose family is relatively poor.

Because Gary is the grandson of Professor Oak, his family's industry can be said to be very rich.

You have to know that a single research institute covers the entire back mountain of Pallet Town, not to mention that there are many Pokémon in it, even Ash's big eater Snorlax is raised by Professor Oak.

After hearing Gary's heroic words, Shiny Metagross was also moved.

After seeing that Shiny Metagross was somewhat tempted, Gary immediately took advantage of the situation and continued to persuade it.

"And I also promise you that I will do my best to train you and make you the strongest Metagross in the world, and then show your strength on the world stage!"

After hearing Gary's continuous temptations and his intimacy, Shiny Metagross finally agreed.

However, Shiny Metagross is a pseudo-legendary Pokémon after all, and it still has its own pride. If Gary wants to capture it, he must show his strength.

After hearing what Shiny Metagross meant, Gary immediately opened the system and checked the relevant data of Shiny Metagross in front of him.

Pokémon: Metagross (Shiny)

Attributes: Psychic, Steel

Ability: Light Metal

Level: 62

Qualification: Pseudo-Legendary

Moves: Psychic, Metal Claw, Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash, Zen Headbutt, Flash Cannon, Iron Defense, Agility, Psyshock, Hyper Beam...

After seeing the luxurious panel data of Shiny Metagross, Gary secretly said in his heart that he had come to the right place.

"Do we have to battle before I capture it? Of course, no problem!"

Gary also agreed decisively to Shiny Metagross's desire to see his strength.

"Then let's start the battle now!"

As soon as Gary finished speaking, Shiny Metagross was ready to fight.

"You, I will capture you!"

Gary said confidently to Shiny Metagross, holding the Poké Ball.
