Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

After several days of traveling along the horse route, Xiaozhi and his party arrived today at Heiyun City, an industrial city with a sense of vicissitudes of life. This city seems to have been forgotten by history. The sea water is filthy, the sky is shrouded in haze, and even the sea breeze is filled with a unique smell similar to durian barbecue.

"The factories here are too dense." Xiaozhi looked at the giant chimneys standing around and emitting thick smoke, and sighed with a frown.

"I don't like it here." Nazi frowned and whispered with the same dissatisfaction.

Xiaoxia, holding Xiaogang's travel brochure, explained to everyone: "It is said that this Heiyun City was once extremely prosperous due to the cluster of factories."

"However, it is precisely because of the existence of these factories that the sky and ocean here have been severely polluted, which has led to its rapid decline." Xiaogang added regretfully while flipping through the pages of the book, shaking his head.

"It seems that in such an environment, you can only find Pokémon like Slime." Xiaozhi put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly.

Suddenly, "Pika~(〒﹏〒)~" Pikachu's abnormal state caught Ash's attention. Its face was slightly red, and sparks of electricity flashed from time to time between its cheeks.

Xiaozhi immediately hugged Pikachu tightly, and saw the electric beads suddenly emerging from Pikachu's chest, greedily absorbing the surrounding electricity. "This is a charged state!" Xiaozhi recognized it at a glance. But he was confused, because in theory, Pikachu with electric beads could never overload the stored power.

Just as he was thinking, Pikachu suddenly released an uncontrollable electric shock, which caught the unprepared Xiaozhi off guard... "Ash, are you okay?" Xiaoxia asked nervously and concernedly.

"That's right, Xiaozhi, put on these rubber gloves quickly!" Xiaogang took out a pair of rubber gloves from his daily laundry items and handed them to Xiaozhi.

"No problem, we have to hurry up and get to the Pokémon Center." Xiaozhi took the gloves and put them on quickly, holding Pikachu in his arms, and the three of them rushed towards the Pokémon Center.

Deep in the veins of the city, a periscope rises silently from the sewer.

"Meow~ As expected, they are rushing to the Pokémon Center, meow~" Meow's voice came from the deep sewer.

"To protect the stability of the world from destruction"

"To protect global peace and order"

"I~ Ouch..." Musashi and Kojiro could barely suppress the feeling of vomiting after just reading the first sentence of the opening remarks. At this moment, they are hiding in the city's underground drainage system.

"Put on the diving suit I prepared in advance, Meow." Hidden in an isolation cabin similar to the shape of a UFO, Meow suggested.

Despite their complaints, Musashi and Kojiro hurriedly put on their diving suits.

Meowth activated the switch, fresh air instantly poured into the diving suit, and the two of them let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ah, I'm finally alive." Kojiro slumped on the ground comfortably, his face filled with relief after relief.

"That's right, you big idiot!" Musashi echoed with anger on his face.

"I have set up the electric pump and will continue to deliver fresh air to you. Stop complaining." Meowth calmly waved his hand, "Now dive into the smelly muddy water immediately, and then enter the Pokémon Center from there."

"What?! Are you kidding? Let me get into the smelly muddy water? Never!" Musashi rejected the proposal without hesitation.

"That's right!" Kojiro emphasized in a firm tone, "We are cute and charming villains. Even if we are facing the unique Pikachu, we cannot abuse ourselves like this. I firmly oppose it!" He shook his head repeatedly. Like a rattle swinging eagerly.

"Just press it." Meowth touched the button nonchalantly, and the diving suit was instantly connected to high-voltage current. Musashi and Kojiro were instantly electrocuted and danced.

A minute later, the pair dived helplessly into the fetid muddy water.

Musashi said sharply: "Meow meow, I have recorded this account."

Kojiro warned: "You only have this chance."

On the other side, Xiaozhi and his team hurried to the Pokémon Center. Xiaozhi anxiously rang the call bell in front of the bar...

"Come on, come on~" Miss Joy from Heiyun City walked out of the backstage, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "It's really a headache. Do you know what time it is now? Normally well-behaved children should have fallen asleep by this time..."

Miss Joy yawned lazily, looking like she had just been awakened from sleep.

Ash explained apologetically: "I'm sorry, my Pikachu is not feeling well, so I'm sorry to trouble you."

Despite yawning profusely, Miss Joy glanced at Pikachu with one eye and said casually: "Hmm, maybe it's a symptom of a cold."

After hearing this, Xiaoxia immediately expressed her dissatisfaction: "Can you please check it carefully? It is the most cherished Pokémon of my friends! Don't your Joey family always take good care of Pokémon?"

"Uh-huh~" Miss Joy still kept one eye slightly open, gently waving her hand to Xiaoxia to calm down.

Be patient, don't panic, look at Pikachu's bulging cheeks, they are flashing with weak electricity, which is an early sign of the electric rat cold. As long as it rests here for one night, the condition will improve quickly.

Xiaozhi nodded lightly. Although this Miss Joy seemed careless, lazy and casual, she did have some real talents.

"Has anyone ever told you that compared to the other Joy sisters, you have the most unique personality?" Xiaozhi handed Pikachu to Joy with a smile and asked with interest.

Miss Joy laughed when she heard this, "No, it should be said that they are too ordinary." Joy from Heiyun City successfully attracted Xiaozhi's attention with her unique personality. Perhaps she is the least traditional image in the Kanto region. She is the one with the image of Joey. Even if Xiaogang meets her, she will not blush and her heart will beat. She stands out with her charming personality.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang looked at each other with subtle expressions on their faces.

At this moment, in the Heiyun City Seawater Power Plant, as a group of stinking mud blocked the seawater intake, the generator that supported the entire city's power system had no choice but to shut down.

Meow Meow was trying to supervise Musashi and Kojiro's diving in the intricate sewer pipes. When he saw the oxygen pump suddenly stop running, his hair was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

"If the oxygen pump stops working, the oxygen supply in the diving suit will be interrupted, which means..." Miao Miao's heart tightened, and she turned around and pretended to be innocent: "I don't know anything, I'm just ordinary. Just a meow, just a meow~"

But Musashi and Kojiro, who were struggling to move towards the Pokémon Center, were in trouble like two dried salted fish due to the sudden loss of oxygen... They could only hope for God's blessing.

At the Pokémon Center, an unexpected power outage plunged it into darkness. Xiaozhi and the other three followed Joey's footsteps and rushed into the emergency room. There were still many Pokémon there receiving monitoring and treatment. At this moment, all the monitoring equipment had fallen silent due to a power outage.

"Oops, these Pokémon are in the recovery period. If the power cannot be restored in time, they will face great risks." Miss Joy was extremely worried, with a cloud of worry gathering on her brows.
