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

After bidding farewell to Master Ma Zhishi, Lu Yi stood outside the gate of the Dead Leaf Gym, feeling that this trip was a bit inexplicable.

He glanced at the photos displayed on Rotom's screen, then looked around at the environment of Dead Leaf City, finally took a deep breath and began to think.

The boy in the photo is only about ten years old, and must have just reached the age legally allowed to travel independently. But after he failed in the challenge yesterday, which direction did he go?

Lu Yi frowned and was a little undecided for a moment.

The area to the east of Kuye City is vast, connected to the famous "Gopher Tunnel", and continuing eastward can reach the main coastal road; to the south is the port, and many areas can be reached depending on the number of flights and routes.

Lu Yi prayed that this person would not board the ship and leave, otherwise even if he agreed to Mr. Ma Zhishi, he would not have time to search for him all over the world!

Lu Yi decided to go to the Elf Center first and ask Miss Joy about the situation. That kid failed miserably in the battle yesterday, so he should go to the elf center.

So he went to the nurse's desk and showed Miss Joy the boy's photo.

……

"Yes, I have indeed seen it." Miss Joy smiled and nodded. "Did Mr. Ma Zhishi ask you to find him? Then he is quite thoughtful!"

When Miss Joy heard Lu Yi's intention, she couldn't help but have a better impression of Ma Zhishi.

"The kid seemed to have suffered a big blow yesterday. He didn't seem to be in a very good mental state. Even after recovering Squirtle and Bobo's physical strength, he didn't even think about a second battle and left Dead Leaf City directly. .”

Lu Yi was very surprised to hear what Miss Joy said.

So, with the initial lineup of Squirtle + Bobo, that boy dared to challenge Ma Zhishi's electric gym? ?

Do you think you are also a master of reverse attributes?

"Do you know which direction he went?" Lu Yi curled his lips and said speechlessly.

"It should be in the north." Miss Joy blinked her beautiful eyes, "I saw that his fighting spirit was low, so I suggested that he first challenge the Cerulean Gym, which has balanced attributes. Anyway, Dead Leaf City is very close to Cerulean City.

That kid is real. Isn't it normal for Squirtle and Bobo to lose to Raichu? But he seemed to be particularly concerned about it, as if there was something in his heart that he couldn't get over! "

Lu Yi smiled awkwardly when he heard this, thinking that he might care about more than just the battle.

"Thank you, Miss Joy."

With information on the boy's whereabouts, catching up to him became much easier.

Lu Yi walked directly along the dirt road north of Dead Leaf City. The boy was a new trainer, so he would not look for shortcuts. He should enjoy the scenery along the way and try to meet various elves at the same time.

Lu Yi walked very quickly, but he also observed very carefully. After traveling for about two hours, he finally heard some fighting sounds in the woods ahead.

"Squirtle, don't let it escape! Block its escape route with the water gun!"

Lu Yi heard the boy's command from afar, ran a few steps quickly, leaned against a tree and watched the battle.

At this time, the boy was commanding Squirtle and had a fierce fight with a walking grass. Lu Yi watched it with great interest, but he couldn't understand why he was so keen on the opposite attribute battle.

Didn't this new trainer who was defeated miserably by Ma Zhishi have a Pidgeot next to him? Why not let it deal with walking grass?

The boy was sweating profusely and directed for more than ten minutes. Finally, when Squirtle and Squirtle were both exhausted, he threw the idle Poké Ball in his hand!

After a while, the indicator light in the center of the Poké Ball stopped flashing, which meant that the boy had conquered the third Pokémon in his life! He was instantly tired and ran forward excitedly to share this moment with Squirtle!

"Crack...crack..."

Lu Yi clapped his hands with a smile on his face and walked up from the woods behind.

The boy was a little dazed, not knowing when he came.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

The boy looked at Lu Yi doubtfully, his face full of the childishness of a ten-year-old boy.

Lu Yi was much taller than him. Standing face to face at this time, he needed to bury his head very low.

He suddenly no longer wanted to hold this younger brother responsible. The boy was too immature, so a verbal warning would be enough. Presumably he had no idea what he had done, let alone the idea of ​​"deliberately obstructing official duties"!

"Hello, I'm coming from the direction of Kuye City. The owner of Ma Zhishi asked me to bring you a message."

Hearing Lu's name, the boy frowned instantly, as if he didn't like it.

But since Lu Yi chose to get straight to the point, he naturally had to finish his words at once.

"It's like this. Mr. Ma Zhishi found the electric door key in the trash can today. You should know who lost it, right?"

"Well, I lost it." The boy was very honest, "I think the pre-match test at the Dead Leaf Gym is very unreasonable, and asking the challenger to dig through the trash can is too much!"

The boy was a little excited, as if this was a very unpleasant memory for him.

But what Lu Yi said next made the boy hit the cotton with his tightly clenched angry fist.

"Well, it is indeed excessive. Mr. Ma Zhishi thinks so too."

"what?"

The boy was stunned for a moment. He thought Lu Yi was here to teach him a lesson on behalf of Ma Zhishi, and he even thought about how to retaliate! Unexpectedly, Lu Yi said that Ma Zhishi also thought his test was unreasonable!

"Mr. Ma Zhishi is very generous. Even if you delay the normal operation of the gym, he feels that the responsibility lies with him. From today on, he will leave some slogans in the hall to remind some challengers who cannot stand the stains of the trash cans. , you do not need to take this test.

Of course, correspondingly, for those challengers who failed the test, Mr. Ma Zhishi will also be more serious in the subsequent battles and increase the difficulty of obtaining badges. "

After hearing this, the boy was obviously stunned and didn't know how to reply for a while.

"This……"

Lu Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "In addition, Mr. Ma Zhishi asked me to say sorry to you and hope that you can regain your strength and continue to attack the Orange Badge in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the boy was completely stunned and fell into deep reflection.

"I'm sorry..." He seemed to have done something very wrong, his momentum and head dropped. "I am the one who should say I'm sorry. I didn't expect Mr. Ma Zhishi to be so arrogant. I should have communicated with him face to face if I had known."

Lu Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. You will still have many opportunities in the future. After you are fully prepared next time, tell him clearly in person!"

The boy nodded vigorously.

"Okay, the words have been conveyed, my mission is completed!~" Lu Yi stretched out easily, and then he was ready to move on, heading back to the police station from Hualan City.

When the boy saw this, he looked at him doubtfully.

"Brother, aren't you going back to Kuye City?"

"Huh?" Lu Yi turned around and immediately thought that the boy had mistaken him for a gym staff member.

"Oh! I'm not from Kuye City. I'm just a challenger like you. I happened to accept the commission from Mr. Ma Zhishi."

"Then you are also a traveler? Do you want to spar with me?" The boy's eyes suddenly lit up. Lu Yi gave him a strong feeling. He should be able to accumulate a lot of experience from this battle!

But Lu Yi just smiled at him.

"Forget it, you should only have Bobo capable of fighting now. This place is still quite far away from Cerulean City. It's impossible not to have a strong partner around you!"

Hearing this, the boy blinked and felt that what Lu Yi said made sense.

"Indeed...thank you for the reminder."

Lu Yi waved his hand indifferently, and then turned around again.

But the boy soon caught up with him.

"Brother, it's really hard for you to chase me all the way from Kuye City to here. Why don't you leave me your contact information? We are both collecting gym badges. Maybe we will meet again in the future. I'll treat you to that time. Let’s eat and catch up on today’s competition!”

After hearing this, Lu Yi readily accepted it when he saw the sincerity in the boy's eyes.

"Okay, my name is Lu Yi. If you encounter any danger in the future, please call this number."

"Yes! My name is A Lei!"
