Pokémon: Ash's Rebirth World Line Concludes

Chapter 32 Ma Zhishi and the Retro Showdown

Passing through the lobby of the Dead Leaf Gym, everyone arrived at the gym's No. 2 venue.

In a standard venue, two men in camouflage overalls were working out with Electabuzz and Pikachu.

Seeing that Pikachu lifting a 50kg dumbbell with its tail, Xiaozhi's Pikachu couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

That's kind of cruel, man!

"Bisquix! Steve! E on! Come to work!" Tony called out loudly.

"Yes, sir." A man and a woman, both muscular soldiers, came up to Tony, stood straight with their hands behind their backs.

"What's the problem? Tony, did you call me just now?" A sturdy man with a green military uniform and a soldier's dog tag, rubbing his golden hair, walked out from the inner passage.

"Master, there's a challenger. I'm just about to start the assessment!" Tony reported.

"Oh~boy...are you the challenger?" Ma Zhishi lowered his head, looking down at Xiaozhi from his 1.9-meter height.

"Kowayi~" Chengzi swallowed and took a step back.

Zongci also had a serious expression. The main reason was that Ma Zhishi had a face like a native of China, and he didn't look like a good person...

Xiaozhi raised his head without being servile or arrogant: "Yes, I am Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. Please join me in a gym competition."

Gently lifting the collar of his coat, revealing two shining badges, Xiaozhi's meaning was very clear: I am not a pushover.

"Oh~ the badges of the Nibi Gym and the Cerulean Gym." Ma Zhishi twisted his neck and looked at Xiaozhi's Pikachu: "Did you get it with this?"

"Of course, Pikachu is my partner." Xiaozhi nodded.

"Hahaha, quite interesting." Ma Zhishi's eyes were burning. In the past, he would not even look at this baby-like elf.

But there was no way he could resist the fact that a certain trainer had once used Pikachu to teach him a lesson.

So after seeing Xiaozhi's partner Pokémon and the familiar feeling between his eyebrows, Ma Zhishi got itchy hands...

"Since you are already the owner of two badges, I am in a good mood today, so there is no need to test you." Ma Zhishi grinned, waved his hand and ordered: "Dongni, open the main venue ring, I will play with him!"

"Yes!" Tony saluted seriously, turned around and trotted towards the main venue behind him.

"Hey~ This big fool looks fierce, could it be that he is a nice person?" Chengzi was surprised.

Xiaozhi looked towards the main venue, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I hope you will think so later."

"Hey, boy! Let me see if you are a real man, come on!" Ma Zhishi hooked his finger, then looked at the two deputy captains: "Bisquisi, Steve, you two should also go and observe, and prepare the first aid kit by the way."

"Yes!" The two deputy captains nodded and trotted after them.

"Xiaozhi, I feel something is not right. Do you want to reconsider it?" Souji advised.

"How can a man say no? Besides, the arrow has been drawn on the string, it's too late to regret it." Xiaozhi smiled and said, "I can't let Ma Zhishi mock me for not being a man."

After comforting Souji and the other man, Xiaozhi took the lead and walked towards the main venue.

Chengzi and the other man followed closely behind.

The main venue is illuminated by spotlights and is surrounded by soft ropes like a boxing ring.

The mirror-like floor looks very metallic.

Just as Chengzi and the other man were about to take two steps forward, they were stopped by Bisquez.

"Entourage personnel, please stay behind the yellow line and watch the game."

Souji looked at the strange venue and couldn't help but frowning.

"Okay, Xiaozhi boy, stand in the challenger's position." Ma Zhishi threw his coat, revealing two vests and well-defined muscles.

Xiaozhi stomped the ground, chuckled, and walked onto the stage.

Both sides stood still, and Tony, as the referee, stood at the sidelines and announced: "Next, the official match of the Withered Leaf Gym will begin. Two Pokémon can be used. Only the challenger can change Pokémon.

When one Pokémon or trainer loses the ability to fight, the game ends."

"Huh? Trainer!" Souji and Seiko were suddenly shocked.

"Close the switch!" Ma Zhishi smiled heroically and waved his hand to give the order.

Steve on the sidelines immediately turned on the power switch. With a click, sparks burst out from the soft ropes around the stadium, and then the flow of electric current could be faintly seen.

At the same time, Xiaozhi vaguely felt a numbness under his feet.

"Hey, how can a real man let Pokémon bear the scars of battle alone!" Ma Zhishi patted his chest: "In my Withered Leaf Gym, if a Pokémon is damaged during a game, the trainer will also be punished by electric shock!

How about it, boy~ do you want to challenge me again? "

"How could it be, even a trainer!" Makoto was horrified.

"Xiaozhi, this is too dangerous, don't agree to it!" Souji shouted anxiously.

"Well, don't get excited." Xiaozhi waved his hand at the two of them: "It's just a little bit of wind and frost. I'm quite experienced in receiving electric shocks."

"Very good, very good!" Ma Zhishi said with admiration: "Today's trainers are too delicate, not interesting at all!

You know, in our era, Pokémon's attacks could be directly released at the trainer!

The current rules are too sissy! Xiaozhi, you are pretty good, let me see if you have the guts to be as tough as your words! "

Xiaozhi nodded confidently: "I don't believe there is anyone more stubborn than me, come and fight!"

Tony nodded: "Let the game begin!"

"Raichu, go!" Ma Zhishi's first one was the evolved form of Pikachu.

"Raichu~Raichu~" Raichu, which was two times bigger than Pikachu, with a thicker tail and limbs, hooked its finger at the Pikachu on Xiaozhi's shoulder.

Xiaozhi was also not afraid: "Pikachu, it's decided to be you!"

"Pika!" Pikachu jumped up and came to the venue to confront Raichu.

"Start!" Tony raised his hands.

"Raichu, use thunder!" Ma Zhishi clenched his fists and smiled cruelly.

Lightning strikes at the opening, let’s see what you will do!

Xiaozhi made full use of Pikachu's speed advantage: "Move at high speed to avoid it!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu grew and ran wildly, leaving an afterimage as it ran at high speed across the field.

Crack! A loud thunderclap struck, and Pikachu dodged it easily.

"He missed the target!" Ma Zhishi shouted angrily.

"Pikachu, flash of lightning!" Xiaozhi immediately launched a counterattack.

Below the ring, Bisquis nodded: "As expected of a trainer who has obtained two badges, he has some skills."

Steve shook his head and chuckled, "But it's still too naive."

Seeing Pikachu turn around and suddenly charge towards Raichu with white lightning bursting out of its body, Ma Zhishi sneered.

"Raichu, discharge!"

Boom! Dazzling golden lightning burst out from the body of Raichu, sweeping across the entire venue in an instant.

"Pika!" Pikachu was also blown away by this attack.

However, being another Electric-type Pokémon, this move is less effective.

There was a surge of electric sparks under his feet, and Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows: Oh, here it comes.

Sizzle! A fierce electric current suddenly rushed up Xiaozhi's body, and Xiaozhi was completely enveloped by the electric light, shining with golden light.

"Xiaozhi!" Seiko was about to rush forward worriedly, but was stopped by Souji.

"He's still in the game, don't get in his way." Souji said firmly, "We have to trust Sadosi."

Hiss~ A puff of green smoke came out of his body and the electric current on Xiaozhi's body faded away.

Everyone was paying attention to Xiaozhi's reaction.

Crack~ He twisted his neck, rubbed his wrist and raised his head: "This electric shock~ is far worse than Pikachu..."

"Yo~" Steve whistled in surprise, and Bisquis gave him a thumbs up: "Real man!"

Ma Zhishi laughed even louder: "Hahaha, Subarasi, Xiaozhi you are awesome! Keep fighting!"

Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and smiled: "Pikachu, don't let others look down on you! Lightning flash!"

"Pika!" Pikachu suddenly kicked the ground and his whole body bounced out!

Bang! It was so fast that Raichu was knocked to the ground before he could even react.

Swish! Ma Zhishi was immediately engulfed by the electric light, but this guy’s vest and gloves were obviously made of anti-electric material. Although his whole body was shining with golden light, he did not suffer too much damage.

"Tsk~" Xiaozhi pouted in dissatisfaction: "If you want to play like this, I won't be polite."

Ma Zhishi chuckled and said, "This is my personal equipment. If you win, I can give you a pair of anti-electric gloves."

Xiaozhi then nodded with satisfaction, and the game continued!
