Misty was surprised when she heard this: "Now that you mention it..."
Even Xiao Gang felt that things seemed a little tricky: "That gym leader, Ma Zhishi, must be very powerful?!"
Is it amazing?
Ash glanced at the many Pokémon that filled the hospital bed.
Rattata,Catterpie,Oddish,Sandshrew,Bellsprout,Poliwag...
"Cheer up, Spearow, you'll be fine!!"
Oh, and there's a Spearow.
By the way, with Pokémon of this level, they dare to challenge the gym... I don't know who gave them the courage~
Ash subconsciously glanced at Misty and Xiaogang beside him, then shook his head.
Even though it is recognized by the Alliance that it is the easiest gym for a novice Trainer to challenge, Gon's Nibi Gym, it is impossible to successfully challenge it with these Pokémon.
Not to mention, it was Mashishi, the owner of the Vermilion Gym who was good at using Electric Type, a highly destructive weapon.
"In fact, when facing challengers before, Ma Zhishi sometimes used heavy hands, but he also knew to restrain some False Swipes."
Nurse Joy said with some concern: "But it seems that after being challenged by a boy named Paul, Ma Zhishi has become not polite to the Trainers at all."
"It can be said that there is absolutely no sense of proportion."
Paul...he's here to challenge the Vermilion Gym too, right?
I guess something must have happened between the two of them.
After resting at the Pokémon Center, Ash and his group arrived at the gate of the Vermilion Gym.
That green one looks like the Normal generator building, with two huge Normal labels with lightning symbols on the door.
They are all telling outsiders that this is a gym that focuses on Electric Type.
Even if you don't know the information about the gym before coming, even the most dull person should know what choice to make after seeing the gym's logo.
But~~~
Ash thought of the Pokémon Center, and the Poliwag and Spearow that were almost electrocuted, and couldn't help but sigh.
To deal with a gym that focuses on Electric-type, they actually sent out Flying-type and Water-type Earl Dervish Pokémon…
There are still many stupid people in this world.
"Squeak."
Ash slowly pushed open the door, "Is anyone there? I'm here to do a gym challenge~"
In the darkness, two young men dressed in two different styles slowly walked out.
They looked Ash up and down, and one of them turned around and said jokingly:
"Master, we have another victim here!"
"Let me see~"
A powerful bass voice sounded from behind, and a tall figure stood up from the dark chair.
He was of sturdy build, wearing a thick military vest and jacket. Although he had an ID tag around his neck, he did not look very much like a soldier.
With frizzy blond hair and dark skin, Ma Zhishi looked down at Ash and his gang in front of him.
"Welcome to Vermilion City~"
His eyes looked around, and when he saw Misty, they instantly lit up.
"This challenger is so cute!"
Ma Zhishi walked directly towards Misty, opened his arms, and gave her a big hug:
"But I won't hold back!!"
"Really? That's right, me too~"
With a flash, Ash stood directly in front of Misty and blocked all of Ma Zhishi's moves.
"Um?!"
Ma Zhishi immediately raised his eyebrows, "Who are you?"
"I am the challenger."
Ash smiled back.
"I see…"
Ma Zhishi glanced at Ash, and then raised a disdainful arc at the corner of his mouth:
"Hi, baby~"
He pretended to reach out another hand and touch Ash's head.
But the next second~
Click!
Ash's palm directly grabbed Ma Zhishi's arm.
"I'm sorry, owner, I'm not a baby~"
Ash kept smiling, and as Ma Zhishi's expression changed, he slowly introduced:
"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and I'm the challenger for today's gym."
Ma Zhishi: "…"
He didn't pay attention to what Ash said, but the strong force coming from his arm made him blush.
"How can this little brat have such great power?!"
Ma Zhishi wanted to shake his arm off Ash's hand, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it.
This shocked him greatly, but also made him more motivated.
Well, the physical fitness of the people in Mega Pallet Town is just a joke to you!
"Master!"
The two younger brothers behind Ma Zhishi saw that something was not right and hurried forward.
"Ash..."
Xiaogang and Misty shouted out in worry upon seeing this.
Misty also felt safe when she saw Ash standing in front of her.
Just now, Ma Zhishi suddenly rushed up and scared her.
If it wasn't for Ash, she didn't know what to do.
Every time, at the critical moment, Ash always appeared in time to protect her.
When the two finished speaking, Ash's hand loosened at the right time~
Thump thump thump!
However, Ma Zhishi, who had been struggling to pull his arm away, was caught off guard and fell backwards.
If those two younger brothers hadn't been quick enough to catch him, he would have fallen headfirst to the ground.
"Wow, you're quite good at this!!"
This result not only did not make Ma Zhishi angry, but instead further aroused his fighting spirit and competitive spirit.
But~~~
"This is...Pikachu?!"
When he saw Pikachu next to Ash, he couldn't hold it back anymore.
