After taking a short rest, the three of them arrived at the Dead Leaf Gym.
The road outside the gym was previously blocked by dead tree branches.
This is a small test set by the gym leader in advance for the trainers who come to challenge them, to see how they can successfully reach the gate with their own abilities.
But recently, an unknown tree-cutting maniac appeared in Dead Leaf City, cutting down trees whenever he saw them.
They even chopped down all the dead trees and branches in the entire Dead Leaf City, directly exposing the gate of the gym.
The news media in Kuye City immediately took advantage of the situation and advocated a wave of green and sustainable development concepts: "If you want to get rich, plant trees first."
"Little Ratta, hold on and don't die, you have always been my best friend!!!"
At this time, a young man who looked like a novice trainer ran out of the gym gate.
His expression was mixed with anxiety, resentment, and regret, and he ran and screamed.
In his arms, he was holding a little Rattata that couldn't fight, looking miserable on the outside and tender and fragrant on the inside.
He didn't pay attention to Xiaozhi and the others, but kept encouraging his Rattata. He soon passed by the three of them and disappeared at the entrance of the Dead Leaf Gym.
"We must stick to the elf center! This way I can save a vitality fragment!"
In the distance, you can still hear his shouts.
...
The three of them couldn't help but swallowed when they looked at the miserable state of the Rattata.
He was in a state of being unable to fight and being whipped endlessly.
"Xiao Zhi, I'm afraid this gym master is not a good person..."
"It's definitely more cruel than our two gyms..."
Hearing this, Xiaozhi did not dare to neglect, took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened the door of the Dead Leaf Gym.
As the future Pokémon Master, he's not afraid of anything!
As soon as he entered, a dazzling light shone on his eyes, and he couldn't help but imitate Xiaogang next to him and squinted his eyes.
Small eyes have advantages.
A rather deep and rough man's voice came from inside, with a self-complaining tone in his tone.
"Why is there someone challenging me again..."
"I don't know who cut down my tree, and now some cylx is coming to challenge me..."
"Horse's."
The lights dissipated, and Xiaozhi and the other two regained their vision.
Unexpectedly, the interior layout of the gym this time was not as fancy as the previous two gyms, with rocks and a large pool.
The Dead Leaf Gym is an ordinary standard open training ground with some auditorium seats around it.
A rugged man with a skin color between Xiaozhi and Xiaogang was standing in front of him.
He has strong muscles and is nearly 2 meters tall, like a hill.
"!"
The huge shadow covered Xiaozhi with such a huge momentum that the latter couldn't help but take a step back.
"Ahaha, are you a newbie kid again? Go and defeat the weak Cerulean Gym and Nibi Gym next door before you challenge me. I won't show mercy! Ahahaha!"
The man couldn't help but laugh, his expression arrogant.
Xiaogang, Xiaoxia: "!"
Have been offended.
Then the two of them suddenly slapped their palms on Xiaozhi's shoulders and said in a deep tone:
"Xiao Zhi, don't give me face."
"Xiao Zhi, hurry up and borrow Charizard from your friend and teach him a lesson!!"
Xiaozhi: "..."
He blocked his arms, pressed his hat slightly, and looked at the man head-on.
"This is my fight, I won't borrow other people's power!"
Although Brother Chi is powerful, he is only an external force after all, and those Pokémon are just the Pokémon of outsiders.
When he takes away Brother Chi one day, he might consider using those Pokémon.
red:"..."
Or maybe Brother Chi will be saved by a monk one day, and he will be able to inherit his legacy legitimately.
Why don't you touch the monk's porcelain with your hands when you encounter him in the future, and bump into him on purpose?
Then the other party can give him a powerful Tianlong?
It is said that there are many monks in the Johto area...?
red:"?"
Can you wait until I'm asleep before considering these operations...?
...
Xiaozhi raised his head and saw the man in front of him with blond hair and a dark green military uniform. He secretly wondered if the trainer still works part-time as a soldier...?
"I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, the future Pokémon Master, and I am here to challenge you!"
He showed no signs of weakness and shouted vigorously.
The man nodded slightly, temporarily recognizing Xiaozhi's courage to face the challenge head-on.
"It's better than those cowards in front of me. Since it's a challenge, let's follow..."
Before he was halfway through speaking, the tall man's eyes suddenly widened.
He saw the Pikachu next to Xiaozhi's legs, as if he had seen some exotic beast.
"Let's take a look, I'll see, I even have an electric mouse with me. The fur is smooth, the electric sac is full, and the steps on the tail are the standard 4 bends... You've done a pretty good job raising this Pikachu!"
"You're just a little too fat. With this body type, can you still take steps and use impacts?"
Hearing this, Xiaozhi was not happy, and quickly raised his hand to cushion Pikachu, trying to show that his Pikachu was not too heavy.
However, I just lifted it and didn’t get used to the weight, so I pressed my arms down a little.
Well, it did sink again.
But that's not the point.
"My Pikachu is extremely fast! Even the lightning flash is much faster than others!"
He defended quickly.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu said that Xiaozhi was right and also waved his fist.
"Yes, yes, I recognize you. My name is Ma Zhishi, and I am an honorary member of the Electric Rat branch of the Pokémon Club in Dead Leaf City!"
Ma Zhishi suddenly stretched out his broad palm to shake hands.
Xiaozhi was stunned. He did see a Pokémon club next to the Pokémon Center.
He thought Team Rocket was here to trick people.
Is it now fashionable for rough men to be girlish?
"In that case, let's compete in an electric mouse breeding showdown."
Xiaozhi: "?"
Why do you think the plot is developing in a strange direction?
Next, Ma Zhishi threw his elf ball.
boom!
This is an electric mouse that is several times larger than Pikachu. It has yellow and black skin, and the ladder tail behind it has also turned into a slender lightning-marked tail.
He looked aggressive and eager to fight.
"Didi. Raichu is the evolved form of Pikachu. Its physical strength and electricity have been improved, but its appearance has become lower. It ranks in the top three of this year's list of the top ten Pokémon that want to degenerate as soon as they evolve."
Xiaozhi's picture book automatically broadcasts reports.
Ma Zhishi: "?"
Raichu: "?"
Xiaozhi quickly stuffed the illustrated book back into his pocket.
"Haha, this illustrated book is old and antique. I like to talk nonsense, so don't pay attention..."
He was really afraid that this illustrated book would be dismantled one day.
Although this Pokémon named Raichu...doesn't seem that cute anymore.
Xiaozhi had no reason to imagine the scene where his Pikachu evolved into a Raichu with the help of a power amplifier, and then crushed his shoulders.
Well, it can't evolve!
Stay away from power amplifiers in the future.
Ma Zhishi quickly defended:
"Ahem, although this year's official blog of Dead Leaf City did rank Raichu in the top three of the top ten Pokémon that want to evolve and degenerate, but these are all malicious negative reviews from those who are not happy with their lives. In fact, there are many People like Raichu!”
Xiaozhi frowned, there was actually such a list.
You need to check it carefully when you get back later, don't make mistakes by evolving randomly at the wrong time...
"Pika pika..."
Pikachu also noticed the sudden appearance of Raichu, his eyes narrowed, his little finger pointed at the latter, and he couldn't help laughing and bent over.
What a fat electric mouse!
He's even fatter than himself! ?
Still dark! ?
"Pikapiwu..."
Xiaozhi quickly squatted down and blocked Pikachu's mouth.
If someone else is a Raichu, that's a standard figure. Don't judge others by your Pikachu figure.
Duck with green onions!
They are all just talking nonsense, how can one of them be more playful than the other with ridicule!
