The next day, Gary left Blackthorn City and rode his mountain bike to Silver Town.
There were only two months left before the start of the Silver Conference, and it would take a lot of time just to travel from Blackthorn City to Silver Town.
A week later, Gary arrived in Silver Town.
After settling down at the Pokémon Center, Gary contacted Master Chuck as soon as possible.
It had been two months since he had left Machamp and Heracross with Chuck for training, and it was time to take them back.
"Master, how have Machamp and Heracross been training in the past two months?" Gary asked.
"They are all very good, and they have been training very seriously. They have also learned new Fighting skills in the past two months," Chuck said.
"Really? What skills are they?" Gary was curious.
"Teleport them over, and you'll know," Chuck deliberately kept it a secret.
"Okay, then please teleport Machamp and Heracross over," Gary said.
Soon, Chuck put Machamp and Heracross into Poké Balls and teleported them to Gary.
"Just check Machamp and Heracross carefully, and work hard in the Silver Conference. I will watch your game," Chuck said and ended the call.
Gary looked at the two Poké Balls in his hand and used the Eye of Insight to check the attributes of Machamp and Heracross.

```
Machamp and Heracross are both level 54, and their levels have increased slightly. The new skills they mastered are Brick Break and Bulk Up, which are both very practical skills.
"Not bad."
Gary was very satisfied with the improvement of the two Pokémon, and he did not plan to upgrade the levels of these two Pokémon further.
Then, Gary contacted Professor Oak's Laboratory and looked at the levels of the Pokémon there.
Because he did not carry them with him, and the levels of those Pokémon were relatively high, the improvement was not large.
Except for Scizor and Eevee, which reached level 60 and entered the Elite level, the levels of other Pokémon were roughly in the range of 55 to 60.
The levels of the new Pokémon that Gary captured in the Johto Region were not high. Except for Gyarados, the levels were all below level 55, which was no problem for dealing with the Silver Conference.
"If we count the Elite Pokémon, we only have Scizor and Charizard. It's not safe. We need another Elite Pokémon," Gary thought with his chin in his hand.
The players in the Silver Conference are stronger than those in the Indigo Plateau Conference. It's obviously not enough to rely on two Elite Pokémon as trump cards.
"Alakazam, it's your choice."
Gary decided to choose Alakazam. Alakazam has never participated in the Indigo Plateau Conference, and it has a Mega Evolution form.
In the future, the scarce resources rewarded by the system will definitely be given priority to Pokémon like Alakazam.
So, Gary spent 2 high-level Rare Candies to upgrade Alakazam's level to level 60.
Then, according to the rules set before leaving Pallet Town, Gary will upgrade the potential of the Pokémon with the same potential by 1 level for the one with the highest level upgrade.
Alakazam happens to be the highest level among all the Elite potential Pokémon. Gary uses a Silver Crown to raise its potential to the Champion level.
Then, among the Champion potential Pokémon, Scizor has the highest level. He consumes a Gold Bottle Cap to raise its potential to the Quasi-Legendary level.
Gary no longer has any Quasi-Elite Pokémon, so he uses his only Bronze Crown on Arcanine to raise it to the Quasi-Elite level.
Arcanine has been stuck at level 49 for a long time, and today he can finally break through the shackles.
As for Crobat, we have to wait a little longer. When Gary gets the Silver Conference Champion, Crobat and Arcanine can be freed, and even one of them can be raised to Elite potential.
This spot is naturally reserved for Arcanine, who makes Arcanine's appearance high enough, so Crobat can only be wronged for a while.
Then, Gary looked for information about the Iron-Masked Marauder on the Internet.
The Iron-Masked Marauder is a tough guy in Team Rocket, and even Giovanni can't control him.
The Iron-Masked Marauder's information was found. This guy has been wanted and the bounty is as high as 100 million.
As for why the bounty is so high, it is naturally because the Iron-Masked Marauder not only hunts Pokémon illegally, but also actively attacks public officials when he encounters them.
It can be said that he is very rampant and the bounty is naturally very high. "His Dusk Ball should be developed through scientific research."
Gary thought.
No matter how you look at the Iron-Masked Marauder's Dusk Ball, it is a Pokémon made with modern technology, so it should be a product of modern technology.
It is very similar to the Rage device made by Dr. Namba, which uses emotions to enhance the strength of Pokémon and then forcibly controls Pokémon.
Moreover, the Pokémon captured by the Dusk Ball will not 100% obey the Iron-Masked Marauder's words. There is still a certain probability that the controlled Pokémon will be awakened.
In the original plot, the controlled Celebi was awakened by Professor Oak and Ash.
However, although Celebi was awakened, the Lake of Life could not restore him because of the overdrawn energy. In the end, it was Celebi who came from other time and space to heal him.
However... this time is no different.
If Gary wants to intervene in this matter, he will never let the Iron-Masked Marauder have the possibility to subdue Celebi. It is best to get rid of the Iron-Masked Marauder directly, so that there is no need to worry about what will happen later.
When Celebi recovers his energy, he will naturally send Professor Oak back to 40 years ago.
"Celebi Forest."
After careful search, Gary found the place where the incident happened.
In the Celebi Forest, there happened to be a village in the forest called Arborville Village, which can be confirmed to be the place where the incident happened.
