Chapter 83: Dead Leaf Gym

The next morning, Yosuke went to the Pokémon Mall in Vermilion City.

Vermilion City is a world-class port city and its economic ranking in Kanto is only below Golden City. The Pokémon Mall there is much larger than the Pokémon Malls in the cities that Yosuke has visited.

Therefore, in just one morning, Yosuke bought all the materials needed for Magikarp's evolution potion.

In addition, Yosuke bought some Rock Essence and Flying Energy Crystals in the mall, which directly cost more than three million Alliance Coins.

Of course, after this purchase, Yosuke's balance became 5.82 million Alliance Coins, which is enough for a while.

After buying things, Yosuke returned to his room and started making potions.

Fortunately, there was still one day, which was enough for Yosuke to make it.

Early that morning, Yosuke and Yamada went to the Vermilion Gym.

"There are so many lightnings." Yamada said as he looked at the outside of the Vermilion Gym.

The outer walls, roofs, and spires of the spire-shaped gym were covered with large and small lightning-shaped decorations, which looked so dense that it made people feel sick.

"I'm really afraid that others don't know the attributes of this gym." Yang Jie despised the vulgar aesthetics of the gym owner.

The gyms in the region do have strong personal attributes.

"The Vermilion Leaf Gym is really hard to challenge. I was beaten like this a few times before. Forget it, let's go to the next door Ishibashi City to challenge it tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, the key is that since the old gym owner of the Vermilion Leaf Gym passed the title to the new gym owner Ma Zhishi a few months ago, the apprentices have become more and more ruthless."

At this time, several trainers walked out of the Vermilion Leaf Gym, complaining as they walked.

Yang Jie listened to the exchanges of several trainers next to him and realized what was going on.

He was not unaware that the Vermilion Leaf Gym was extremely tough in its attitude towards challengers, but it was the first time he really saw a ruthless gym battle, and he was somewhat surprised.

Maybe this is also related to the gym owner Ma Zhishi who took office not long ago.

The gym owner Ma Zhishi used to be a lieutenant in the navy and participated in large and small battles.

He advocated an aggressive combat command style, and the real enemy would not say stop at the right time, so he would hit harder.

When educating his gym apprentices, he also made their personalities gradually closer to his own.

Yosuke shook his head slightly as he looked at the miserable Pokémon and their trainers.

"Yosu, is this Dead Leaf Gym so strict?" Yamada looked at the miserable Pokémon and said to Yosuke.

"Why, are you going to give up?" Yosuke asked.

"Give up, how can it be possible? Although I am not as hard as you, I have also trained hard in the Hualan Strait for half a month. If I give up at this time, what is my previous hard work!?" Yamada said.

"Then let's go. No matter how big the difficulties are, just face them bravely." Yosuke said.

Yosuke and Yamada walked into the gym, and then went to the No. 1 ring under the guidance of the staff.

At this time, the gym trainer Ma Zhishi was already waiting there.

Muscles undulating like mountains, skin as hard as steel, meridians emerging on the surface like dragons, golden short hair, a two-meter-tall burly man jumped into the eyes of Yosuke. He was Ma Zhishi, the gym trainer in Vermilion City.

"Hello, Ma Zhishi, I am Yamada Soki who made an appointment to challenge the gym before." Yamada said to the strong man.

"Hey, boy, you are the one who made an appointment to challenge this morning!"

Ma Zhishi's height of more than two meters brought a lot of pressure to Yamada.

Even Yosuke behind him felt a sense of pressure.

Yosuke always felt that Ma Zhishi should become a fighting-type Pokémon trainer like Sheba instead of an electric-type Pokémon trainer.

"Yes, please compete with me!" Yamada said directly.

"Okay!" Ma Zhishi looked at Yamada's eyes and nodded, then said.

Just as Ma Zhishi's voice fell, the open space between Yamada and Ma Zhishi began to separate, and then a ring slowly rose.

"Now we are going to have a gym challenge between Yamada Soki and the Vermilion Gym in Nibe City. It's a 2V2 Pokémon showdown. The challenger can change Pokémon freely, but the gym trainer cannot change Pokémon. Is there a problem?" The referee asked Yamada after he finished explaining the rules.

"No." Yamada replied directly.

"Please send your Pokémon to the field." The referee said again.

"Okay, go, Magnemite!"

Perhaps because Yamada didn't look too young, Ma Zhishi sent out a green Magnemite with excellent qualifications and a level of LV23.

Pokémon: Magnemite

Attributes: Electricity, Steel

Features: Magnetism

Qualification: Green (61-70)

Level: Level 23

The moment Magnemite flew out of the Poké Ball, it floated in the air, and its big eyes became bright and energetic, completely different from the slightly dull appearance of ordinary Magnemites.

"In that case, it's your turn to play Squirtle!" Yamada released Squirtle directly.

"Kamei!" Squirtle appeared on the ring with full fighting spirit.

Stottle's current level is 25. Although it is two levels higher than Magnemite, the water type is restrained by the electric type, so this battle is not optimistic.

"Squirtle? Boy, don't you even know the basic attribute restraint? I really don't know how you got the three badges. Could it be that those gym leaders let him go? But I'm different. It's impossible for Yosuke to let him go." Ma Zhishi said to Yamada after looking at the Squirtle that appeared.

"Hmph, you don't need to let him go. I know that Squirtle is restrained by the electric type, but Squirtle is my important partner and I believe in him." Yamada said to Ma Zhishi.

"Kamei!"

The Squirtle in front also shouted loudly after hearing Yamada's words.

"Well, let me see your performance!" Ma Zhishi looked at the eyes of Yamada and Squirtle and nodded slightly and said.

"Squirtle, use high-speed star!" Yamada said to Squirtle.

"Kamei!" Squirtle immediately used high-speed star after hearing this.

"Give up the strongest water attack and use attribute skills that are not restrained? Magneto, dodge and then electromagnetic wave." Ma Zhishi said.

"Kuai~"

Magnemite flew into the air and dodged Squirtle's attack, then used electromagnetic waves directly.

"Kamei!"

The electromagnetic waves easily hit Squirtle, and Squirtle immediately felt uncomfortable, but fortunately he did not fall into paralysis.

"Squirtle, come on, use water cannon." Yamada encouraged Squirtle.

"Kamei!"

Squirtle immediately started to fight back.

However, Magnemite, which was moving freely in the air, evaded the water cannon several times flexibly.

"Magnemite, use electric shock!" Ma Zhishi said.

"Kuai~"

Magnemite released yellow lightning from his body and rushed towards Squirtle.

"Squirtle, retract into the shell and use high-speed rotation." Yamada said.

Squirtle retracted into the shell after hearing this, and then the shell rotated at high speed to directly avoid Magnemite's electric shock and rushed towards Magnemite.

"Do you think that's all? Magnemite continues to use electric shock. No matter what, Squirtle is a water-type, and any water-type will not be safe from electric-type skills. As long as Magnemite hits it once, it will be seriously injured. What do you want to do, kid?" Ma Zhishi said.

"Kuai~"

Magnemite heard Ma Zhishi's words and kept discharging electricity at Squirtle.

"Damn it, Squirtle, come on, keep using high-speed rotation." Yamada knew that Ma Zhishi was right, but he had no choice at the moment.

Finally, Magnemite's electric shock directly hit Squirtle, who was spinning at high speed.

"Kamei~"

Squirtle immediately screamed in pain.

"Squirtle, come on, use water cannon to fight back!" Yamada said to Squirtle.

It was too difficult for Squirtle, a water-type, to deal with electric-type Pokémon, so Yamada could only let Squirtle bite the bullet and go on the road.

"Kamei!"

Squirtle finally heard Yamada's order, rushed out of the shell immediately, and directly fired a water cannon at Magnemite.

"Magnemite, get out of the way." Ma Zhishi said.

Yamada saw Magnemite narrowly dodge the water cannon. It turned out that Magnemite had consumed a lot of physical strength after multiple discharges.

Yamada immediately said: "Squirtle, use the water cannon again."

This time, Magnemite did not dodge.

"Kuai~"

Magnemite was hit by the water cannon and flew directly to the back.

"Squirtle, take advantage of the victory and use Rocket Headbutt." Yamada said to Squirtle.

"Kamei! Squirtle hit Magnemite again with a Rocket Headbutt while Magnemite has not recovered yet.

Two consecutive attacks directly made Magnemite lose its combat effectiveness.

"Magnemite loses its combat effectiveness. Squirtle wins this game. Please change the Pokémon at the gym." The referee said on the side.

"I see, using Squirtle to shrink into the shell to defend against Magnemite's electric shock, and then counterattack in one breath, a good tactic." Ma Zhishi took Magnemite back to the Poké Ball.

"Then how are you going to deal with him next! Come out, Magnetron. "Ma Zhishi released the elf again, this time it was Magnetron's evolution.

Yosuke also looked at the Magnetron from a distance, then shook his head. Now it depends on whether Kokodora can turn the tables.

Elf: Magnetron

Attribute: Electric + Steel

Feature: Magnetism

Qualification: Green (61-70)

Level: Level 34

"Little friend, what are you going to do now? You can't deal with Magnetron with the tactics just now." Ma Zhishi said to Yamada.

After the battle just now, although Squirtle won with tactics, he was also seriously injured. Facing the high-level Magnetron, Squirtle had no chance of winning.

"Damn it, Squirtle, come on, use water cannon!" Yamada said to Squirtle.

"Kamei! "

After hearing this, Squirtle immediately used his water cannon to attack Magneto.

"Magneto, use 100,000 volts!"

Ma Zhishi said to Magneto.

"Kuai~"

After hearing this, Magneto fired 100,000 volts of electricity directly along Squirtle's water cannon at Squirtle.

"Kamei!"

Squirtle was directly hit by 100,000 volts and lost his combat power.

Obviously, Magneto, who is at level 34, has such powerful electric skills that he can defeat Squirtle with just one hit.
