Joban City.
This is a city located between Zhenxin Town and Nibi City. It is also the city where Xiaozhi first arrived. Looking at the familiar environment around him, it can be said that everything is back to where it started.
But now Xiaozhi is no longer a newbie, and he can even memorize 7 levels of content in the attribute restraint table.
Looking around with a new attitude, this time he could feel a hint of dangerous coldness in the air, instead of an ordinary first stop for beginners.
"Go to the Elf Center first."
This time Xiaozhi's biggest support was gone, and he had to be cautious in everything. He tried his best to suppress the idea of going straight to the gym as soon as he arrived in the city like in the past.
I don’t know if the current gym leader is Boss Sakaki himself.
As the boss of a large multinational company, he has a lot to deal with every day, so he may not always stay in the gym to accept challenges.
And even if you really face Boss Sakaki, as long as you don't mention words like "rushed" casually, it shouldn't be a big problem?
Xiaozhi thought to himself.
"Not necessarily. I have blindly guessed why Team Rocket set up a gym. It is probably to provide talent for Team Rocket..."
Xiaogang patted him on the shoulder. He had always had a different understanding.
"Muggle trainers will naturally be kicked out, but when you meet a truly qualified new trainer, you can either join Team Rocket on the spot. If you don't join, it probably won't be cheap for the Pokémon League, maybe..."
His eyes couldn't help but darken. With the current Xiaozhi, if he fully demonstrated his strength, he could definitely reach a level that would attract the Rockets' attention.
In addition, he has encountered many core cadres before, and they may have been blacklisted now...
However, they can be so unscrupulous, and even next door to the west of Joban Gym is the Quartz Plateau and the Pokémon League headquarters. It seems that the current position of Team Rocket in the Kanto region is far greater than they imagined.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi also swallowed hard and couldn't help but said to the electric mouse taking a nap at his feet:
"Pikachu, the Viridian Gym seems to be ground-based. You have to work hard this time!"
Pikachu: "?"
The ground gym, is it outrageous that it has to clock in to work this time? !
...
Everything was ready and dressed up. Xiaozhi and his Pokémon had reached a peak state. It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and the group started to head towards the Viridian Gym.
In less than a moment, they could already see the Joban Gym in the distance. It was a small earth-yellow castle with an outer wall made of light yellow stone bricks and pillars. It looked old and had a classical feel.
On the floor at the entrance, facing outward, is a large red silk carpet, which has a somewhat upper-class feel in its classic style.
On both sides of the red silk carpet were several symmetrically arranged sculptures, with the same cat-shaped Pokémon statue on top. A cat paw was held up to the ear, as if to attract wealth.
The most outrageous thing is that there are two guards in steel armor standing at the door, holding a steel spear in their hands, with serious expressions, standing on both sides of the door looking forward, looking Spartan style.
This is Joban style security.
Xiaozhi and the other three approached the Viridian Gym. When they walked in, they discovered that a challenger was already standing at the gate, seemingly about to enter.
Wearing casual yet idol-style dark blue long-sleeved trousers, a pair of brown men's hiking boots, a string of egg-shaped pendants passed down by Dr. Ohki at the collar, and a birdcage-like backpack on his back.
There is always a arrogant smile on his handsome face, and the brown hedgehog hair standing on top of his head really attracts hatred.
"Hey, isn't this my hxd Xiaogang and his two men?"
The hedgehog-head noticed the three people approaching. He first pretended to ignore Xiaozhi at the front, but went up to shake hands with Xiaogang warmly. The three-star mountain man bond made them good brothers now.
It was Xiaomao from Zhenxin Town.
Then Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi again, his eyes narrowed to a slit, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he put an arm on his shoulder, looking arrogant and speaking lightly.
"Oh, I didn't recognize it for a moment. Isn't this my fellow countryman Xiaozhi? Why are you late again?"
Xiaozhi frowned and shook off the opponent's shoulder with a flick of his hand.
This action and words were also done by the other party on his first day of travel, which made him a little unhappy.
"Xiao Mao, are you here to seize the last badge?"
"The last one? Hahaha, you really made me laugh."
Xiao Mao laughed with his hands on his hips, then took out a jewelry box from his arms and opened it. Inside, there were two rows of badges of different shapes and colors neatly arranged, shining with a strange light.
"1, 2,...10?!"
Xiaozhi's eyes widened, and there were 10 badges lined up in the box.
The entry requirement is 8 badges, but at this moment, Xiaomao has collected as many as 10 badges. Some of them are different from his 7 badges. It seems that there are really more than 7 gyms in the Kanto region.
It's just this speed...
"You are too fast, Xiaomao."
Xiaozhi couldn't help but admire.
"Humph, no matter what I do, I am always so fast, hahaha."
Xiaomao laughed again with his hands on his hips. Unlike Xiaozhi, he did not come to Viridian City to collect badges. Now that all the badges have been collected, the league competition will not be held in another month and a half, so he has found a hell for himself. Difficulty copy.
I rushed to Boss Sakaki!
He had already secretly investigated and found out that Boss Sakaki was in the Kanto region these days, and the last possible hiding place was the Tokiwa Gym in front of him, so he specially chose the auspicious day of the zodiac to challenge.
"Hmph, I was here first, so you can just watch from outside as I smash through Boss Sakaki's handsome background alone."
Xiao Mao turned and walked toward the door. Halfway there, he suddenly thought of something. He turned his body to the side, raised his palm, and pointed at one of the cat boss sculptures.
"Is this a monitor? Hey, Sakaki, are you looking at my handsome face from behind right now?"
His tone was very arrogant and his words were merciless. He even called Sakaki by his first name and started a war immediately.
"Listen up, I am Xiaomao from the new town. I will go in and rush you now. Tomorrow I will hang you on the flagpole sign at the gate of the Quartz Alliance to blow the wind, and I will also carve "Uncle Xiaomao is here" on your forehead. This trip has "7 big characters!!"
Xiaozhi and three others: "!"
Turtle, you are too cruel! ?
Is this what you can say with the support of a green and green boss? !
One thing to say, Xiaozhi now has the urge to give Xiaomao a hammer on the back of his head, and then leads the head on his neck to ask for credit from Boss Sakaki, subduing this kind of villain, how can two people mess around? Is this the level of Team Rocket?
"Sakaki! Wash your anus, I'm coming in! Hahahaha!!"
Xiaomao finally gave a middle finger to the sculpture, ignored the two frightened Spartan guards, and directly opened the door and entered the Viridian Gym.
"I want to go in too!"
Just as Xiaozhi was about to go in, the two guards reacted and tilted their two sharp spears in front of Xiaozhi.
"Jiwan Gym Rules!"
"Only one person can enter at a time!"
