Chapter 153: First Meeting with Xiaozhi, Team Rocket (4k)
Chenghua Gym is located on the outskirts of Chenghua City, far away from the bustling city. The gym is surrounded by trees and there is a botanical garden greenhouse next to it.
The appearance and layout of the gym are like a real, traditional Japanese gym.
Su Yi took Lu Cao into the atrium of the gym, and the sound of fierce fighting came from the battle field inside.
"Oh? Is anyone challenging?" Su Yi walked in with interest.
"Pikachu, lightning flashes!"
"Hyperactive ape, catch it!"
A fierce command sounded.
When Su Yi heard the extremely familiar voice that he had heard countless times from the video, he was surprised and said: "What a coincidence?!"
Entering the spacious battle arena of the gym, the two combatants stood on both sides of the arena.
A middle-aged man wearing a jacket has a serious look on his face, and he commands an ape-like Pokémon, Hyperkinetic.
The hyperkinetic ape wields its sharp claws and attacks one after another with great momentum, giving its opponent a great sense of oppression.
Opposite the middle-aged man, a young man wearing a hat had an anxious look on his face.
On the field, the Pikachu he commanded was covered in bruises and was obviously in a tough battle.
On the audience bench next to the venue, a lady and a pair of siblings were watching the battle.
Su Yi's arrival attracted the attention of everyone except the young man on the field.
Seeing the look in the eyes of the gym leader looking over from thousands of miles away, Su Yi nodded, sat on the chair and waited patiently.
"Challenger?" Qianli understood clearly and turned his attention to the field again.
On the field, the apes are still alive and kicking, but Pikachu is in danger.
"I finally met Pi Shen and Xiaozhi." Su Yi sighed silently.
The young man on the field is none other than Ash, whose goal is to be the Pokémon Master, but now he and Skin God are still immature.
"Pikachu, can you still fight?" Xiaozhi asked worriedly.
"Pika!" He responded with Pikachu's tenacious cry.
"Okay, then..." Xiaozhi put down his worries and prepared to fight with all his strength.
At this moment, there was a bang, the wall of the gym was broken open, and smoke and dust flew away in an instant.
Su Yi and Lu Cao were right on the opposite side of the opened hole, and smoke, dust and gravel rushed straight towards them.
"Meow?!" Lucao was stunned by the sudden attack.
"Be careful!" Su Yi quickly picked up the small shield and blocked it in front of Lucao. For a moment, the shield was clanked by small stones.
"Cough cough cough! What...what's going on?!" Su Yi covered his mouth and nose in the smoke and coughed.
"What...what's going on!?" A female voice deliberately imitated Su Yi's tone.
Su Yi: "...Masaka (could it be)!?"
"Since you asked the question sincerely."
"Then I will tell you with great mercy."
"To prevent the world from being destroyed."
"To protect world peace."
"Carrying out love and truthful evil."
"A cute and charming villain."
"Musashi, Kojiro."
"We are Team Rocket traveling across the galaxy."
"White hole, the white one is waiting for us tomorrow."
"That's it, Meow!"
"Shoo!"
A man and a woman wearing uniforms with the letter R printed on them, and a talking meow. The three of them said classic lines one by one. In the end, the cat ran out of the ball and screamed. end.
"Team Rocket!" Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao, who were watching the battle, said angrily.
But Qianli's wife, Xiaoyao's mother Mitsuko, said in surprise: "Oh? Are you Xiaoyao's friend? Thank you for taking care of me."
He even bowed politely.
Xiaoyao suddenly said with shame and anger: "He is a bad person! Mom!"
Mitsuko covered her mouth and said in surprise: "Is that so?"
Su Yi:......
This guy who broke through the wall doesn't look like a good person, does he? Madam, you are too natural.
"Hand over Pikachu and Hyperkinetic!" Team Rocket immediately sent out Arbor and Double-Bomb Gas to start snatching Pokémon.
Dual Bomb uses a smoke screen to block the line of sight, and Arbor rushes into the smoke and starts snatching Pokémon.
Su Yi fanned the smoke and coughed repeatedly: "Ahem...are you still here?!"
"Meow? Su Yi meow!" Lu Cao's voice suddenly sounded in the smoke, and then quickly disappeared.
"Lucao?!" Su Yi exclaimed, then quickly threw the elf ball.
"Steel-armored crow! Use the storm to blow away the smoke!"
"Maga!" The steel-armored crow flapped its wings, and the strong wind swept up the smoke and blew it away, making the gym instantly brighter.
"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Pikachu was not kidnapped by Team Rocket as usual.
Qianli looked at the hyperkinetic ape beside him and asked, "Are you okay, hyperkinetic ape?"
"Ouch!" The hyperactive ape was still full of energy.
"The one who was kidnapped is..." Xiaoyao looked at the broken wall.
Team Rocket originally wanted to take advantage of the smoke and quickly run to the hot air balloon not far away to escape, but after the smoke was blown away, their sneaky figures immediately emerged.
"Huh? Pikachu is still there!" Kojiro looked back in surprise.
"Then what we caught is..." Musashi looked at the little guy tied up in his arms.
"What are you doing, meow?! Let me go, meow! Su Yi is very powerful, meow!" Lu Cao shouted angrily.
"What kind of Pokémon is this?! It can talk like Meowth!" Kojiro said in surprise.
"And it's a cat-like Pokémon like me!" Meowth said in amazement.
"It even has the ending sound of meow, and it's so cute, much cuter than meow." Musashi was immediately attracted by the cuteness of Luca.
"Such a rare Pokémon, meow..." Meowth said, rubbing his hands.
"If I give it to Boss Banmu..." Kojiro also reacted immediately, looking forward to it.
Then the three of them shouted happily: "Promotion and salary increase, becoming a cadre, what a great feeling!"
"Are you too proud too early?" Su Yi walked forward with a dark face, and behind him, Steelix showed a sharp look.
"Oh? Is this your Pokémon? Sorry, it belongs to us." Musashi said proudly with his hands on his hips.
"Why did you mess with me?" Su Yi sighed.
Originally, I liked the real protagonists of Team Rocket, but people whose Pokémon and partners were taken away by them couldn't be happy.
"What are you talking about?" Kojiro snorted.
"You guys, you're so arrogant after stealing other people's companions!" Xiaozhi said angrily.
Su Yi didn't bother to talk nonsense, pointing at Team Rocket and said: "Steelcrow, Bravebird!"
"Gaaa!" Steelcrow flapped its wings and flew into the air, a stream of light like flames wrapped around its body, and then swooped down like a meteor.
"Arbok!"
"Vazquez!"
"Stop it!"
However, before the two Pokémon had time to use their moves, they were instantly knocked away by Bravebird.
Bang bang!
Arbok and Vazquez fell to the ground with circles in their eyes.
"It only took one hit..." Meowth said in panic.
"Is that Pokémon so strong?" Musashi and Kojiro looked at their Pokémon who fell to the ground with cold sweat.
"That Pokémon is so strong, is it also a Pokémon from the Hoenn region?" Xiaozhi said in surprise.
But Qianli shook his head and said, "This shouldn't be a Pokémon from the Hoenn region."
Xiaozhi took out the Pokémon Book to check, but got the hint of "Unknown Pokémon".
"It's over, Steelwing!" Su Yi shouted.
Buzz!
The wings with a metallic luster danced lightly, cutting the rope tied to the Dew Grass, and then slapped Team Rocket away.
With a bang, they hit Arbok and Gastly, and finally fell next to the hot air balloon.
"Storm!"
As soon as the words fell, a fierce gust of wind swept towards Team Rocket.
Ka...Sizzle!
The hot air balloon seemed to have some problems in the gust of wind, and began to flash electric sparks.
"Oops...Oops!" Team Rocket suddenly felt bad.
Boom!
The next moment, the hot air balloon exploded, and several black shadows rushed straight into the sky and disappeared into the clear sky.
"What a disgusting feeling!"
"Can it really fly that high?" Su Yi looked up at the sky and said in great surprise.
"Su Yi, meow!" Lucao trotted over, Su Yi opened his arms, picked him up, and asked, "Are you okay, Lucao?"
"No, meow." Lucao shook her head.
Xiaozhi held Pikachu and ran over curiously, saying, "Really? It's a talking Pokémon, just like Team Rocket's Meow."
"Hello, I'm Xiaozhi from Pallet Town, and this is my partner Pikachu."
"Pika~" Pikachu, who was held in his arms, waved his short arms and greeted Lucao and Su Yi.
"Hello, my name is Su Yi, an adventurer from a faraway place, and this is my partner, Lucao."
"Hello, meow~" Lucao, who was also held in his arms, waved in response in a friendly manner.
The cute representatives of Pokémon and Monster Hunter, at this moment, had an epic meeting.
"In other words, Brother Su Yi, you are not from the Hoenn region?" Xiaozhi asked curiously.
"That's right, I'm not from the Hoenn region."
"Among my two partners, Luca's race is called Elu. Because it looks like a cute cat, it is generally called Elu cat. It is a race in our area."
"And Steeljaw is captured by me in the Galar region." Su Yi introduced.
"Galar...?" Xiaozhi didn't know that place.
"It's a rare guest from a very far place." Qianli said in surprise.
"Luca is so cute." Xiaoyao came over and looked at the furry cat, her heart almost melted.
"What?" Xiaoyao's initial partner, the orange-feathered Chick looked up at her.
Xiaoyao quickly squatted down, stroked Chick, and said: "Of course Chick is also cute."
"What~" Chick happily raised his head and rubbed Xiaoyao's hand to act coquettishly.
"Steeljaw is so handsome, whether it is Brave Bird Attack or Storm, they are all used with ease." The little boy with glasses said excitedly.
The sharp eyes and armor-like body of the Steel Crow obviously attracted the little boy more.
"Can I touch it, Brother Su Yi?" The little boy took a step closer and asked expectantly.
Mitsuko quickly pulled the eager little boy and said, "Don't be too willful, Xiaosheng."
Su Yi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but be careful not to make the Steel Crow feel uncomfortable."
"Yeah!" Xiaosheng agreed quickly, and then reached out to touch the wings of the Steel Crow.
"Smooth, tough, and a touch of steel." Xiaosheng felt the contact with the Pokémon with curiosity.
"Su Yi, thank you for driving away the bad guys and protecting everyone's Pokémon and my family." Qianli thanked.
Su Yi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Qianli, you are too kind."
But Qianli said apologetically: "You are here to challenge the gym, but as you can see, the battle field is already in a mess."
"It is the gym leader's negligence to show a bad side to the challenger. Please let me send a professional team to repair the gym. The battle can start tomorrow at the latest."
In fact, Su Yi wanted to say that he didn't care, but considering that the gym was also Mr. Qianli's home, if the broken wall had a load-bearing function, the danger would be great.
"It doesn't matter, I have plenty of time." Su Yi nodded.
…
Mr. Qianli made a call, and within a few minutes, a team of people with professional tools and Pokémon began to repair the damaged gym.
There was no other way, Su Yi could only go to Chenghua City for a tour first, while Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng volunteered to be tour guides.
"If Pikachu hadn't been injured in the battle with Mr. Qianli, I would have really wanted to have a battle with Brother Su Yi." Xiaozhi sighed on the way to the city.
"Xiao Zhi is really overestimating his abilities. He dares to challenge our gym even though he doesn't have all the Pokémon." Xiao Sheng teased.
"I told you, I want to challenge with the friends I conquered in Fengyuan!" Xiaozhi said angrily.
"But in the practice battle just now, you were always suppressed by dad's hyperkinetic ape." Xiao Sheng chuckled and hummed.
"This is because..." Xiaozhi was speechless for a moment.
Su Yi was speechless when he heard this. Xiao Sheng, a little brat, was quite annoying in the early stage.
"That's right!" Su Yi paused.
"What's wrong?" Xiaozhi turned around in confusion.
"It's like this. Not long ago, I went to Kanto to find Dr. Oak to discuss cooperation. When passing through the Evergreen Forest, I met a Pokémon."
Su Yi said, took out his cell phone Rotom, and clicked on the video.
"Xiao Zhi, this is your competition."
"Diao!?" Xiaozhi looked at the Pokémon in the video. He couldn't admit it. This was his Pokmon!
"Is this Xiaozhi's Pokémon?" Xiaoyao looked curiously.
In the video, Bi Diao was chattering.
"It said you can go on adventures with peace of mind, meow. They won't be bullied anymore, meow." Lucao said from the side.
"Bi Diao..." Xiaozhi looked at Bi Diao and the group of people surrounding it, feeling both longing and relieved in his heart.
"Is it better than a carving?" Xiaozhi asked.
Su Yi nodded and said, "Well, under its protection, the Bobo group is growing steadily. It is a reliable and powerful leader."
"That's great, Bi Diao." Xiaozhi looked at the energetic Bi Diao in the video, and his nose felt a little sore.
Su Yi looked at this young man. At this age, he had learned to let go, not for his own selfish gain, but for the sake of Pokémon and his tribe.
It's been an amazing growth.
"Xiao Zhi, I understand your desire to meet new partners and start new adventures with the new partners you have conquered in this area."
"But sometimes, old friends will miss you. Occasionally, take them to see the scenery you see now." Su Yi said earnestly.
"Well, thank you, Brother Su Yi." Xiaozhi smiled again.
