Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

Following the winding path of Pallet Town, everyone came to the foot of the bluestone spiral staircase. Xiaozhi pointed to the red-roofed building with a large windmill halfway up the mountain, with a smile on his face: "Everyone, we are here, this is the Oak Research Institute."

"Behind that building, there is a vast courtyard hidden." Xiaogang continued to introduce.

"So this is the Oak Research Institute." Xiao Jian raised his head and looked at the magnificent building in front of him, his heart filled with a solemn feeling like a pilgrimage.

The three of them climbed up the stairs and finally arrived at the door of the Oak Research Institute. They rang the doorbell, but no one answered...

"Maybe he didn't hear it." Xiaozhi pushed the door open without hesitation and walked in.

"Hey, is this really okay? What if the doctor is doing important research?" Xiaojian asked the question somewhat stiffly.

"Don't worry, when I was an assistant, I often came in like this." Xiaozhi shrugged with a smile.

As soon as I entered the door, a stinky mud pounced on me. "Baiduo!" It seemed very excited.

"Wow... calm down, Muddy." Before Xiaozhi could finish his words, he was wrapped in it. The soft feeling was like hugging a huge lazy sofa.

"Xiaozhi, are you okay?" Xiaoxia and Xiaogang rushed over.

"Wow... Thank you for saving me." At this time, Professor Oak emerged from the stinky mud. It turned out that he had just been "accidentally swallowed" by the stinky mud...

"Ash, you're back. I'm feeding Muddy." Professor Oak explained.

"You mean to dedicate everything you have to him..." Xiaozhi said with a hint of joking tone.

"Wow, Dr. Oak, your demeanor is still admirable!" Xiao Jian's eyes sparkled as he expressed his sincere respect for Dr. Oak.

"Oops, I've been pushed away again." Mud pounced on Professor Oak again, but was easily pushed away.

"Professor Oak really cares about Pokémon." Xiao Jian's gaze fell on a unique place, which made people admire his observation skills.

"Okay, Golduck, show your telekinesis and move the Slimy Slime away." Xiaozhi had no choice but to command.

"Guba~" Goduck gladly obeyed the order and used his telekinesis to make Mud reluctantly leave Professor Oak.

"Huh, we're finally saved, thank you, Xiaozhi." Professor Oak was freed from the encirclement of the stinky mud and sighed, "Pikachu, how have you been recently?"

"Pika!" Pikachu raised his hand, full of energy.

"You seem to be in good shape." Dr. Oak saw that Xiao Gang was also there, "Oh, Xiao Gang, you are here too. Dr. Uchiki asked me to say hello to you."

When Xiaogang heard this, he was so moved that he hugged his knees tightly. Chouchou Ni seemed to feel his emotions as well and rubbed his body gently...

"Xiaozhi, don't forget to take out your things." Xiaojian reminded.

"Oh, by the way, Professor Oak, this is a gift I brought specially for you. It's a souvenir from the Pokémon observer of the Orange Islands." Xiaozhi finally remembered his mission.

Xiaozhi naturally suggested recommending Xiaojian to Professor Oak.

"I'm not referring to myself," Xiaojian hastened to clarify.

"Oh, I see." Xiaozhi nodded, then took out the GS ball, "Sorry for coming back late, Professor Oak, this is your ball."

"Oh, great, I will study it all night long!" Dr. Oak said excitedly.

"Perhaps, Doctor, you shouldn't stay up too late." Xiaozhi reminded with a little concern.

Then, Xiaozhi turned to Professor Oak and said, "Doctor, Xiaojian is interested in being your assistant. What do you think?"

"Oh? Research work is very hard. Can you accept it, Xiaojian?" Dr. Oak asked with a smile.

"Yes! I have always dreamed of becoming a researcher like you, Dr. Oak." Xiao Jian straightened up and said firmly.

"Also, Xiaojian's cooking skills are amazing, and he can take good care of the doctor both in work and in life," Xiaozhi added.

After hearing this, Dr. Oak thought Xiaojian was a good candidate: "It sounds great, Xiaojian, you can stay. You can choose any room on the second floor."

"Great! Doctor, I will definitely work hard!" Xiaojian was very excited.

"Okay, next, let's take everyone on a tour together." Professor Oak put away the GS ball and decided to lead everyone around.

Walking through the corridor and coming to the backyard, the first thing that caught my eye was the chubby Snorlax. This Snorlax had just finished his meal and was leisurely picking a few apples for dessert.

"Snorlax, are you used to living here?" Xiaozhi waved at it and greeted it.

"Snorlax..." After eating the berries, Snorlax immediately lay down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

"Look, it's asleep already?" Xiaozhi couldn't help laughing as he looked at the Snorlax in front of him.

"Snorlax's characteristic is to sleep soundly after a full meal." Xiaojian explained with a smile.

"Oh, look there!" Xiao Jian suddenly pointed into the distance, and saw dust flying and a team rushing towards them.

"Those are my Kentaros." Xiaozhi said helplessly, but with a smile on his face.

"These guys love to run," explained Professor Oak.

"Are all these Satoshi's Kenshin?" Xiaojian asked curiously.

"Yes." Xiaozhi nodded, his face full of pride.

"Wow, it's spectacular!" Xiao Jian exclaimed, taking out his sketchbook and quickly sketching the scene.

Afterwards, Beedrill, Pidgeot, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise and other Pokémon appeared one after another. They interacted intimately with Xiaozhi. Pokémon such as Tyrannosaurus, Nidoking, and Poliwag also came out of their hiding places to spend a happy time with Xiaozhi. Pokémon such as Dragonite, Ammonite, and Scyther also appeared. They have their own characteristics and are dazzling. In addition, cute Pokémon such as Jigglypuff and Togepi also appeared one after another. Pokémon such as Cuju Boy and Scyther also came out to get close to Xiaozhi.

Finally, Xiaozhi released the Pokémon he brought with him and invited everyone to play together.

Xiaojian was deeply attracted by Xiaozhi's endless stream of Pokémon. He was so excited that the pen in his hand kept flying on the paper.

"Oh, your drawing is really excellent." Dr. Oak took a quick glance and gave high praise to Xiaojian's professional ability.

"Dr. Oak, actually I have some observation reports that I would like you to review." Xiaojian said a little shyly.

"Of course, I'm happy to listen." Professor Oak nodded in agreement.

So everyone moved to the living room, and Xiaojian sat next to Xiaozhi, showing his observation report while drinking tea. He was so nervous that he was shaking all over, sitting on the edge of the chair, only daring to sit one-third of the way up.

Xiaoxia hadn't even taken a sip of the tea in her hand when Xiaojian's body suddenly shook and splashed it onto her face.

"Xiaojian, relax." Xiaozhi could only comfort him helplessly.

"You work so hard, you will definitely achieve what you want." Xiaoxia also encouraged loudly.

"This report is very well written." Professor Oak nodded in praise and was about to make further comments...

Suddenly, a huge canvas covered the outside of the institute. With a loud bang, a triumphant laugh came from the hot air balloon above the institute: "Hahaha, no one can escape now!"

"This is our foolproof capture plan!" Kojiro smiled happily.

"That's awesome." Musashi covered his mouth and laughed.

"What is going on?" Professor Oak couldn't help but wonder.

"Meahaha~" Team Rocket, Musashi and Kojiro were proudly showing off their acrobatic talents as they pulled the tightrope on the ceiling of the research institute. They seemed to have become the focus of the stage, attracting everyone's attention.

Since you are asking so earnestly, I will graciously tell you. We act in this way to protect the world from destruction and to maintain world peace and tranquility. Just like a true hero would do!

On the stage, white light shines, like a bright and shining white hole. A brand new tomorrow is waving to us! The world is calling us! That's it! Together we are heading towards the other side of victory!

Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi and Professor Oak could not help but exclaimed: "Team Rocket is really creative this time, and actually appeared in the form of a circus." They clapped their hands. However, Xiaozhi was also a little helpless: "Alas, Team Rocket, you guys are really endless."

Musashi responded dissatisfiedly: "Don't say that, we deliberately changed the style this time." She seemed a little unhappy. At this time, Xiaogang put his hands on his hips and sighed: "I haven't heard this set of lines for a long time. I really miss it." A trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

Xiaozhi responded to Xiaogang in silence: "Hey~ Xiaogang, don't mention that guy all the time." There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Kojiro asked curiously: "Where have you been recently? We miss you too." Hearing this, Meowth was not to be outdone: "The Pokémon in the research institute are all ours!" It announced proudly. Xiaozhi was suddenly embarrassed when he heard this. He tried to make himself look calm: "You wish. Come out, my Pokémon have been waiting here for a long time." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly summoned his Pokémon. However, at this moment, a Muddy Mud suddenly appeared from the research institute and pulled Xiaozhi's trouser leg. At this moment, the air was filled with tension and excitement. "Baiduo~" Muddy Muddy seemed to be conveying some information to Xiaozhi.

"Oh, you're here too, Muddy, go ahead!" Xiaozhi said to Team Rocket.

"More than a hundred!" Stinky launched an attack instantly, rushing straight towards Team Rocket.

"Fight, Big Tongue!" Musashi responded quickly.

However, the big tongue stayed where it was, unable to find an opponent for a while.

Stinky Mud deftly circumvented the large tongue and tackled Musashi to the ground effortlessly.

"Oh, this situation is really unexpected." Xiaozhi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"How could this happen! You should go find Big Tongue, it is your opponent!" Musashi felt very annoyed.

"Uh, sorry. This slime usually likes to be close to people, so maybe he's used to it," Professor Oak explained awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.

"This is the deep friendship between humans and Pokémon." Meowth nodded with deep emotion.

"Damn it! Go ahead, Vulture Flower!" Kojiro ordered decisively, but Vulture Flower suddenly turned around and swallowed Kojiro in one gulp. This time, Team Rocket was completely wiped out...

Meow Meow shook his head helplessly: You two have made no progress at all.

After knocking down Musashi, Muddy turned to Meowth.

Kojiro and Musashi, who wanted to continue attacking, were stunned when they saw the scene where the Venusflower was disgusted by the Mud and vomited. The Venusflower confronted the Mud for a long time, but the Mud seemed to enjoy it.

"This is really a piece of tough meat, worthy of being called Stinky Mud." Xiaozhi exclaimed.

"That's because I've been taking care of it." Professor Oak puffed out his chest proudly.

Just as everyone was enjoying the fun, a man in a cloak suddenly returned and shouted angrily: "What is this? It's in the way!" and instantly split the tent apart.

A Nidoqueen suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

"Nidoqueen, show your strength, use the freeze ray, and then use your million-ton punch to show your power!" As the order was conveyed, Nidoqueen began to show amazing fighting ability.

Before Team Rocket could react, they were frozen by the freezing ray and instantly turned into ice cubes. Then, they were violently knocked away by Nidoqueen's punch.

"This is a disgusting feeling..." someone muttered.

At this time, Nidoqueen's trainer took off his cloak, revealing his true face. It turned out to be Xiaomao, with hedgehog-like hair and a smile on his face.

"Long time no see, Xiaozhi." Xiaomao greeted him jokingly, his tone revealing a long-lost friendliness.

"Xiao Mao, long time no see." Xiaozhi teleported and appeared directly on Xiao Mao's back, "You've become stronger, kid!"

"Hahaha, of course." Xiao Mao felt his hair fluttering and the sunlight shining on his face, and he smiled brightly.

"Grandpa, I'm back." After interacting with Xiaozhi, Xiaomao turned to Professor Oak.

"Well, you are worthy of being my grandson." Professor Oak's eyes showed relief.

"Nidoqueen is so powerful." Misty exclaimed.

"Yes, Xiaomao has become much more mature and stable." Xiaogang nodded in agreement.

"Well, the long-awaited competition has arrived. Xiaozhi, let's have a fight!" Xiaomao looked at Xiaozhi with a challenging gleam in his eyes.

"I accept the challenge." Xiaozhi flexed his wrists, preparing for the duel.

The battle between the two rivals is about to begin. What will be the outcome? Everything is yet to be continued...
