Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

Lu Yi spent the night on the cruise ship and finally returned to the familiar Kanto area early the next morning.

Standing on the wooden bridge at the port of Kuye City, he stretched his waist lazily, his head still unable to fully adapt to the hardness of the land.

The crew members worked really hard. They traveled between ports in various regions all year round. They must have experienced vomiting again and again before they gradually became familiar with ocean life.

He was not in good condition now, but in order to report back to the police force as soon as possible, he went directly to the electric gym in Kuye City.

……

"Eh? Temporarily closed?"

Lu Yi blinked in surprise. He had just been informed of the unexpected situation by the tall man in front of him.

"Yes, I'm sorry to delay your trip."

The man looked helpless. He was Ma Zhishi, the leader of the Dead Leaf Gym.

In real life, Ma Zhishi is as muscular as a humanoid fortress. Lu Yi remembered that he was a retired air force, but the unit he once belonged to was not the current Elf Alliance. He should have served in a country not under the jurisdiction of the alliance.

In the anime, Ma Zhishi is the first gym owner that Xiaozhi wins with his strength. He is keen on pursuing absolute power and even looks down on Pokémon that have not yet evolved to their final form.

In the special story, he, like Nazi, is one of the three leaders of Team Rocket. Ma Zhishi was the first person to use Naughty Thunderbolt's big explosion trick as a bomb, and he personally captured the legendary Pokémon Zapdos, whose true strength was terrifying.

But no matter how brilliant his previous record was, it now affected Lu Yi's plan.

"Senior, aren't you standing right here? Why can't we open?"

Hearing Lu Yi's doubts, Ma Zhishi curled his lips helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do. I lost the key to the inner door of the gym."

"Ah??" Lu Yi was very shocked, "Then can you remember where you threw it?"

Ma Zhishi shook his head.

"If I could remember it, I wouldn't call it 'lost'!"

Lu Yi thought the same thing when he heard this, so he changed his question.

"When did you find out that the key was missing? Have you been to any crowded places in the past two days?"

Ma Zhishi thought for a while and did not meet Lu Yi. Although the latter did not show his identity as a police officer, there were also some enthusiastic guys among the adventurers. Ma Zhishi was still very grateful to him for caring about him.

"I was using it normally yesterday, but I can't find it this morning." Ma Zhishi frowned in distress. "As for the location, I basically didn't go anywhere last night. I went home directly after the gym closed."

Hearing Ma Zhishi's description, Lu Yi frowned even more tightly than him.

This means that he has never been to places with large crowds and prone to thieves, and he has also served in the military, so he certainly does not have a bad habit of leaving things behind. The possibility of forgetting his keys at home is very low.

So where was it lost? Lu Yi was a little confused.

"Senior, are you sure you always carry this key with you?"

"I'm sure. At most, it will be handed over to the gym's security for occasional use when something unexpected happens and needs to leave early."

"Could it be that the security guard took it but forgot to tell you?"

"No." Ma Zhishi shook his head again, "He has a day off today and doesn't need the key. Besides, I called him and he's pretty sure he didn't take it."

"That's strange." Lu Yi rubbed his chin.

He glanced at the door inside the gym. There were many violent electric currents flashing across it. If he didn't have a key to cut off the power, he might be electrocuted into a fool.

The gym run by Ma Zhishi is relatively hard-core, which is related to his background as a soldier.

Usually when he is in the gym, challengers can naturally initiate invitations; but he is also the captain of the "Santiano" cruise ship, and often leaves the gym for overseas missions. At this time, in order to express his respect for the challengers Since then, Ma Zhishi arranged some "extra tests".

He set up dozens of trash cans in the hall, with mechanisms hidden under each trash can. When he is not in the gym, the challenger can open the door inside by finding the connection between these institutions.

This is a test of insight and patience, which Ma Zhishi enjoys and will give a certain percentage of bonus points to challengers who pass the test, making it easier for them to obtain the orange badge.

But now, Ma Zhishi himself is blocked from the electric gate. Although he can also open the door by digging through the trash can, the question is, will he have to dig through the trash can once a day in the future? Not having a key is really a hassle!

"By the way, senior, did you forget your key in the venue? For example, yesterday there happened to be a challenger who opened the door by himself, and then you left the key when you were fighting with him, but you didn't notice it. When you left later The door was always open, so it wasn’t discovered?”

Hearing what Lu Yi said, Ma Zhishi blinked and then seemed to remember something.

"Eh? It seems like it's really possible!"

He told Lu Yi what happened yesterday. As the latter guessed, a challenger did come to visit yesterday, and Ma Zhishi was not in the gym at the first time. It was the challenger who turned on the switch on his own.

So Lu Yi suggested that he open the door first, maybe the key would fall on the field inside.

Ma Zhishi agreed very much, and the two of them started digging through the garbage pile.

However, what surprised Lu Yi was that about three minutes later, he actually found a series of objects in a trash can.

"Senior, could this be what you are looking for?"

Lu Yi squatted in front of the trash can, holding a bunch of keys in his right hand and shaking it towards Ma Zhishi.

The latter's eyes widened and he trotted over quickly.

"Yes! That's it! Why are you here??"

Ma Zhishi took the key with a confused look on his face, and Lu Yi was also stunned for a long time, not understanding what was going on.

Do you think highly of him? Is Ma Zhishi actually a very sloppy and rough person who can throw away keys as trash?

wrong. Lu Yi quickly denied his thoughts.

He already knew how strong Ma Zhishi was and how cautious he was in doing things. It is impossible for the former to do such a careless thing, unless the world collapses due to his appearance.

In this case, Lu Yi has reason to suspect that someone else did it.

"Senior, I would like to ask you a question."

When Ma Zhishi heard what Lu Yi said, he turned and looked over, and Lu Yi was looking at him very seriously at this time.

"what is the problem?"

"Did the challenger yesterday lose miserably? Didn't he even get the badge?"

"Eh? How do you know?" Hearing this, Ma Zhishi's eyes widened in surprise!

"He did lose miserably. The main reason is that he is not strong enough and has no combat experience at all. This is the first gym he has challenged!"
