There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Until Nadeshiko angrily parked the car behind a gym-like setting and stopped.

The bang on the car door was enough to prove her anger.

"It's just as you said!"

Nadeshiko walked quickly, holding her phone in her hand. "The coach said he's not cut out for acting! He can only raise his chin and squint his eyes. He can't make any other expressions!"

Sakutani Ye and the other two followed her closely, and saw the neatly arranged filming location amid Nadeshiko's angry shouting.

No wonder this place is called the Hollywood of Kanto. At least the scene layout is almost impeccable.

There are various motivational posters on the walls, and some fitness models with clear muscular lines are flexing their muscles, showing their sunny and healthy beauty.

In the center of the gym is an open area with various professional fitness equipment.

In one corner, there is a full-length mirror covered by a cloth, which was originally intended to allow the actors to pay attention to their expressions and postures in time. However, due to the reflection of the lens, it is temporarily covered.

Nadeshiko glanced around the filming location calmly, and walked towards the man with a resolute face sitting behind the monitor.

“What are you filming now?”

Nadeshiko lowered her head, her long, smooth hair brushing the man's neck, causing his dark skin to tint a faint red.

"The encounter between the hero and the heroine."

The man's Adam's apple rolled up and down, his head tilted unnaturally, and he explained, "We can't let that one person slow down our filming progress, right?"

"What about others?"

The man pointed his index finger to the side and pursed his lips to signal Nadeshiko.

Nadeshiko looked in the direction of the finger, and the first thing that caught her eye was rows of benches for rest.

On the neatly arranged bench, a figure was hanging his head nonchalantly, his fingers swiping back and forth on the screen of his mobile phone.

That leisurely look was in sharp contrast to the busy staff around him. Many of them would quietly spit when passing by carrying heavy objects to express their dissatisfaction.

At the same time, Sakutani Ye, who was following behind Nadeshiko, suddenly stopped.

Fujino Sakura, who was walking beside him, turned her head curiously, but found that there was shock and helplessness in his eyes.

So Fujino Sakura took a few steps towards Sakutani Ye and stood on tiptoe to look forward.

A handsome figure came into view.

He had a handsome face, and seemed to have an innate noble air. His dark hair was a little messy and casually draped over his forehead, covering part of his eyebrows and eyes.

The teardrop mole under the right corner of the eye is particularly eye-catching, as if a drop of ink was accidentally spilled on the perfect painting, but it unexpectedly adds a bit of mystery and unruly.

Every time he blinked, the teardrop mole would move slightly.

However, contrary to his outstanding appearance, his eyes revealed a kind of nonchalant indifference at this moment, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Only after Fuzi's footsteps got closer did he put his phone aside and gave her a casual glance.

"You came."

"How can I not come?" Nadeshiko was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She said with a breath held back, "It was you who offered to help finish the movie, but what's wrong with your attitude now?!"

"I'm serious." Several fine lines appeared between the boy's eyebrows, and his eyes showed obvious displeasure. "It's the people here who don't understand what I'm saying. They keep asking me to act down and out."

He sneered. "If you want to make a name for yourself with this work, you'd better replace all the people in your team and don't let any random people get in."

Fuzi almost fainted when she heard the boy's explanation, and said with a smile, half covering her swollen and painful forehead.

"You mean everyone except you is fishing in troubled waters?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

The two of them were arguing loudly without paying any attention to the people around them. The man, who was already a little worried, quickly stood up from behind the monitor and walked over quickly.

"Calm down, calm down." He patted Fuzi's tense shoulder muscles and soothed her, "Don't bother with him."

"I'm so pissed!" Nadeshiko clenched her fists and panted rapidly, "No! I must settle this account today!"

"Come, let me ask you! The role assigned to you is clearly that of a wealthy kid who has fallen on hard times and who co-founded a gym after losing nearly all his wealth."

"A dazzling and dazzling child of destiny has fallen into the mire. It would be fine if you didn't show your dejection, but why are you looking up at him with your nose in the air?"

"You are a poor fellow now! A poor man who can only live on the help of others! Isn't it a bit abrupt for you to put on such a condescending attitude?!"

The young man frowned in displeasure after hearing this, and retorted as if he had heard something harsh, "As expected, your background determines your perspective. In the eyes of people like you, what you hope to see most is that the person you couldn't even look up to is instantly stepped under your feet, so that you can satisfy your despicable sense of superiority."

He sneered, "You think that people who have lost everything will just lie there struggling in the mud, without even the courage to get up and start over."

"But you don't know that the wealth that has flowed from my fingers is a weight that you cannot bear. Every bit of money I have ever had is an experience that you will never be able to accept in your lifetime."

"So..." His eyes flashed, and his sharp gaze swept over the two of them, "Why should I bow down to a group of ants? Even if I fall down and start over, they still can't catch up with me."

The sharpness in the boy's tone startled Nadeshiko, but the man next to her nodded thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, Shuo Gu Ye and the other two walked out from behind them.

"Maruta, long time no see."

Sakutani Ye's interruption interrupted the confrontation in time, forcing Maruta Kei to stop speaking and turn to look at the boy.

"You guys again?" Wan Taijing raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his lips unnaturally, and tried his best to put on a relaxed attitude and said, "I just helped them shoot a movie when I had nothing to do. Don't get me wrong."

Before Shuo Guye and the others could say anything, he hurriedly took out the badge box and opened it, saying, "I have obtained three badges, plus the one that Xia Bo owes me, I now have four badges."

"So fast?!"

Not only Fujino Sakura, but even Sakutani Ye was shocked by Maruta Kei's speed.

You know, when Sakuya Ye obtained the Crimson Badge, he still didn't have a single gym badge, and it was unknown whether he could even participate in the Quartz Conference.

But only about half a month had passed, and he had obtained four gym badges at an astonishing speed!

Such a speed is unheard of!

"Of course!"

Having finally made up his mind, Maruta Jing raised his chin proudly, "All the extra money I saved was spent on travel. An expedited taxi service only takes about three or four days to travel to and from a city."

"Plus, I don't need to fight in any level one gym to prove my strength. I can just fight in any city with a gym if I pass by one! This way, of course, it will be faster."

After saying that, he crossed his arms over his chest and looked triumphantly at Shuoya Ye, who had previously caused him to lose miserably. "What about you? How many more badges have you obtained after so much time has passed?"

"Uh..."

Shuo Gu Ye spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "We are all on the road, so it's still four."

"The distance from Honglian Island to Qianhong City is very long. Even if we travel day and night, it will take more than half a month."

Maruta Jing was silent for a few breaths, and then said, "It doesn't matter. For people like us, we don't need badges to prove our level."

He stood up and walked towards Shuo Gu Ye, stopping one step away and said, "You must have improved a lot compared to before. Let me see you again."

He raised his hand from his waist, and three Poké Balls lay in his palm.

"The level of those gym trainers is too weak. From the time I separated from you until now, there has not been a single battle that I could enjoy."

Maruta Kei put his five fingers together and raised his fist to his shoulder. "How about having another Pokémon battle with me?"

"Fight him!"

Before Shuoya Ye could even open his mouth, Nadeshiko, who was already furious, shouted, "Sakuya, come on! You must beat him so hard that his parents won't recognize him!"

"Hey, he'll have a role to play later."

The man came back to his senses from his thoughts and quickly raised his arm to hug Nadeshiko's waist to prevent her from raising her fist and rushing forward to teach Maruta Kei a lesson.

As someone who had watched her grow from an unknown person to a fighting tournament champion, he never doubted the extent of her impulsiveness.

"What are you filming for?! I'm not filming anymore!"

Constrained by the force at her waist, Nadeshiko could only shake her fists in the air, "No matter if we win or lose, get out of here! I don't need people like you in my team!"

It’s a pity that Maruta Kei didn’t even glance at the angry woman, and still stared at the handsome boy with his right fist raised.

"How about this."

Shuoya Ye took a deep breath and raised his left hand.

The two hands met in the air, and their fists collided with a dull sound.

"Just like our last fight, let's place some bets."

"can."

Marutaki nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

"If I win, please apologize to Ms. Nadeshiko and help her complete the planned filming as agreed."

"Okay." Although Maruta Jing's expression changed a little, he still agreed.

Then he said, "If I win, you will pay the compensation and medical expenses to the police station and the hospital on my behalf, how about that?"

"Hey! I knew you had no money!"

Upon hearing this, Fujino Sakura rushed over and pointed at his nose, saying, "We don't want it! Who knows how much you owe? And you still want us to pay for you? Dream on!"

She snorted, "You were the one who initiated this fight against Xiaoye. Don't expect us to take the blame for you!"

"Is that so? So you don't have any money either?"

Maruta Jing raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It seemed that he simply could not understand that, apart from him who went bankrupt due to an unexpected disaster, there were still people in this world who would be so stingy about even such a small fine.

So he took a step back and said again, "Then you can give me 1 Alliance Coins. With the start-up capital, I will think of a way to easily pay the fine."

"There is a battle site not far away."

Kitazawa Lingyou put away his phone and said at the right time, "But it looks like this is also a set built to imitate a real battle field. If you want to use it for battle, I'm afraid you two will need to apply for it."

"I'm going right now!"

Upon hearing this, Nadeshiko immediately turned around and ran away, running at a speed faster than a flash of lightning.

Fujino Sakura looked at this scene and sighed again.

She knew that teleportation was never a skill unique to Pokémon!
