There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Xiaoye walked into the semi-ruined Pokémon Center, which had been destroyed beyond recognition by Pikachu. However, just as Miss Joy said, the walls of the treatment room had only turned a little darker, and the specially made glass door had some spider patterns on it.

Xiaoye asked Miss Joy who was busy contacting gym trainers in Viridian City to help rebuild the Pokémon Center.

"Ms. Joy, I would like to borrow the phone, can I?"

"Of course." Although Miss Joy looked a little annoyed, she still stood up to make room for Xiaoye. "Please use it as much as you can. You are a great contributor to protecting the Pokémon Center."

"Thank you, Miss Joy." Xiao Ye noticed the fatigue flashing across Miss Joy's eyes and asked, "Are you worried? You don't look very happy."

"It's okay, it's just a small problem." Miss Joy lowered her head to sort out her emotions, and when she raised her head, she put on a gentle smile again, "Please don't worry about it."

"Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help." Xiao Ye noticed a dark spot under Miss Joy's eyes, and it was obvious that she was very busy with the Pokémon Center's affairs last night.

"It's okay." Miss Joy declined again, "It's just that the gym trainer in Viridian City can't be contacted at the moment. I can handle it."

Seeing this, Xiao Ye didn't want to force it. After Miss Joy pushed the empty bed away, he called Professor Oak.

"Oh! It's Xiaoye!" Professor Oak appeared on the screen with his back to Xiaoye. Just by looking at his back, one could feel his panic. "I was wondering when you would contact me. Xiaomao called me yesterday, but there was no message from you."

"Good morning, Dr. Oak." Xiao Ye said helplessly, "Are you lazy again and don't want to make breakfast, so you eat instant noodles to fill your stomach?"

Professor Oak on the screen trembled all over, and the next second he turned his hands behind his back with a cup of steaming instant noodles in his hands.

"I definitely wouldn't do such a thing." Professor Oak didn't even have time to look up at the dark computer that hadn't been turned on before he began to defend himself, "I've already had a good breakfast."

"Dr. Oak..." Xiaoye sighed softly, "Please look back."

Professor Oak quickly turned his head and looked at the screen with Xiaoye on it behind him. He chuckled dryly and pressed a button on the computer. Xiaoye could finally see Professor Oak's face covered in soup.

"Hanako cleaned my research institute so cleanly that she forgot that the computer was damaged." Professor Oak looked embarrassed and forced an explanation, "Actually, this is the lunch I prepared for myself. I had rice balls and miso soup for breakfast!"

Xiao Ye didn't believe a word he said. He lowered his head slightly, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes. "For the sake of your health, you should eat less instant noodles and more nutritious food. Your body is your capital. Only when your body is well taken care of can you conduct better research."

He did not say this out of thin air. A few years ago, it was Professor Oak who gave him these heartfelt words.

Xiaoye’s memory went back to when she was ten years old.

At that time, he felt as if there were dozens of Gyarados making trouble in his mind. He had no memory of the past and his head ached from time to time.

He didn't know who he was, how he got here, or where his parents were.

Moreover, from time to time, some hallucinations that were unclear through the fog would appear, tormenting him all day and all night.

This kind of torture made Xiao Ye, who was only ten years old, unable to bear it at all. He collapsed and rejected everything. He bit anyone who wanted to get close to him like crazy, and protected his little self with the sharpest claws.

Just as he was giving up on himself and becoming thinner, Professor Oak came up with a hot dish and said the same words to him.

"Eat more nutritious food and you will recover soon. Your body is your capital. Once your body recovers, you can do whatever you want..."

"I know, I know." Professor Oak interrupted quickly, "I'll go make a decent breakfast in a moment. So what's the matter with you contacting me so early in the morning?"

"Yes. I would like to ask you to help check the child's physical condition." Xiaoye did not push his nose like Xiaomao, but stopped while he was ahead. He took out a Poké Ball and placed it on the transport device beside him. "Besides, it is a bit shy, so it wants Vine Snake to accompany it. Is that okay?"

"Of course, no problem. Just put Snake's Poké Ball up here as well."

Professor Oak tapped his fingers on the keyboard a few times, and with a flash of white light, the two Poké Balls placed on the device were teleported from the Pokémon Center in Viridian City to Professor Oak's laboratory.

"Let me see what Pokémon you captured."

Professor Oak looked at the information displayed on the computer with approval in his eyes, "It's Ditto, it's a very mysterious Pokémon."

"I think you all have great potential. You captured your second Pokémon so quickly."

His tone suddenly changed, with an unconcealable smile on his face, "Only Ash still has only one Pikachu so far, it looks like he has to work hard."

"But Pikachu and him have a good understanding." Xiaoye slightly defended Xiaozhi and showed Professor Oak the ruins behind him. "This is the power of that Pikachu. The entire Pokémon Center has become like this."

However, Professor Oak's expression did not show praise as Xiaoye expected. Instead, he became serious and said with a serious face, "Xiaoye, tell me what happened to you last night."

It was rare for Xiaoye to see Professor Oak show this expression. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, he did not dare to delay and recounted their battle of wits and courage with Team Rocket at the Pokémon Center.

"So it's using the power of the bicycle and other Pikachu to unleash such a powerful skill."

Professor Oak finally relaxed miraculously, leaning back in his chair and wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Then there's no problem. If a Pikachu alone can unleash a skill of this power, it can only do so because it has overdrawn its strength, but it will leave very serious sequelae."

Professor Oak lazily reached for the two Poké Balls and waved at the screen.

"The old man's spirit can't stand such a shock. I will check their bodies first, which will take about half a day. During this time, you can go around Viridian City more."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, and Xiao Ye also planned to leave to buy something.

Money was not a problem. Many of the desserts he had made before were sent to the restaurant run by Aunt Ito and the sales volume was considerable.

"Xiaoye, is the call over?" Miss Joy came over pushing a bunch of Poké Balls and said apologetically, "Because the Pokémon Center in Viridian City can no longer provide treatment, these Poké Balls need to be transported to Pokémon Centers in other cities for treatment."

"It's over." Xiao Ye quickly stood up and made way for Miss Joy. "Thank you, Miss Joy."

After thanking her, Miss Joy immediately started to work. Through her operation, the Poké Balls were transported to Pokémon Centers in other cities through the teleportation device.

"By the way, Miss Joy."

Xiaoye had no intention of interrupting Miss Joy's work, but if he could help the Pokémon Center a little, it would probably relieve some of Miss Joy's burden.

"I'll probably be staying in Viridian City for a while, so why not stop by Viridian Gym to contact the gym trainer?"

"Really?" Miss Joy raised her head and smiled a rare relaxed smile. "Thank you so much, Xiaoye."

"Easy to do."

Xiaoye said it was nothing to worry about and left the Pokémon Center, deciding to go to the Tokiwa Gym first to take a look.

----

Gyms are located in most cities, and those who are in charge of controlling them are extremely powerful people called "Gym Trainers".

They are entrusted by the Pokémon League to build gyms of different attributes in various places to examine novice trainers who are on their training journey. Only by defeating them can they be recognized, and then they will give you the gym badge representing this gym.

Among them, the Tokiwa Gym is considered by many trainers to be one of the most powerful gyms in the Kanto region, and the trainer in charge of this gym is even known as "Sakaki of the Earth".

Although there is a certain amount of exaggeration in it, it is enough to prove from the side how powerful he is.

But the responsibilities that gym trainers need to shoulder go far beyond this.

As a gym trainer, you must protect the safety of the city you are in. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the gym trainers must be the first to solve the problem and complete the aftermath.

But at this time, the entrance of the Tokiwa Gym was deserted, and no trainer was seen challenging for a gym match there.

Xiao Ye was puzzled and walked in to understand why Miss Joy couldn't contact the gym trainer.

There was a notice posted at the door that read, "Due to my child's birthday celebration, the gym match cannot be held within a week. If there is an emergency, please contact Ms. Manatori, contact number: XXXXXXX."

"Master Sakaki is such a good father." A fat woman standing behind Xiaoye also saw the notice posted on the door and couldn't help but sigh, "He is not only powerful but also so gentle. His children are so lucky."

Another woman who was traveling with her also agreed, adding, "Have you forgotten what happened a few years ago? At that time, the whole city really mobilized to hold a birthday party for his child. The scene was spectacular."

"That seems to be the case." The fat woman recalled the birthday party that shocked the whole city a few years ago and said, "It seems that around this time every year, the owner of the museum has already started preparing birthday gifts for his children."

"Yes." Another woman agreed, "But this is the first time he has temporarily closed the gym and gone out. I wonder what kind of big surprise he will have this time?"

Soon after, the two women left arm in arm. The gossip about "Master Banmu" was just idle chat between the two of them, and they couldn't let it interfere with their business.

But even though she was far away, Xiao Ye could still hear their discussion about the museum owner.

Xiao Ye stared blankly at a light piece of paper covering the closed glass door. A little boy next to him held a ball in his hand and looked curiously at his brother who was facing the gym and looking at something.

As the ball slipped out of his hands, the boy no longer paid attention to his brother who was staring at the gym, but ran away after the ball.

Behind the boy, Xiao Ye also took slow steps, found a bench and sat down, staring at the clear blue sky in a daze.

As an ordinary novice trainer, it was naturally difficult for him to comment on the behavior of the gym leader.

Although from the perspective of a father this museum owner can be considered absolutely excellent, from the perspective of a guardian of a city he has failed in his duty to an unforgivable degree.

Just like the trouble that Team Rocket caused this time, if the gym leader had been present last night, the Pokémon Center would not have suffered such a devastating blow, right?

Especially when I saw Miss Joy's haggard expression in the morning and the countless trainers holding their seriously injured Pokémon who collapsed after learning that the Pokémon Center was currently unable to provide treatment services.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ye quickly shook his head, and the silver-gray hair gently slapped his cheek, which made him a little sober and stopped himself from continuing to complain indiscriminately.
