There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Under the threat of Ma Zhishi, the nine trainers could only reluctantly hand over the Poké Balls to Miss Joy and return to their original positions.

When Miss Joy saw that the situation had stabilized, she walked up to Ma Zhishi, stretched out her right hand and bent four fingers.

Ma Zhishi took out a Poké Ball and handed it to her, adding some special instructions.

"It's not seriously injured, just some minor injuries will be fine."

Miss Joy nodded, took the Poké Ball, and immediately trotted to the observation room with Happiny who was pushing a cart to do a preliminary check on the trainers' Pokémon.

The next moment, Ma Zhishi's gaze turned to the team of five people standing together.

He walked over quickly and said to Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, who were confused, in the eyes of everyone, "The youngest sister of the four Hualan sisters and Wu Neng's son, I need your help now."

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang looked at each other and pointed at themselves hesitantly, "Our... help?"

Ma Zhishi nodded and continued, "Currently, I only have five Pokémon that are not affected by the evolution noise. Three of them were released to stop the crazy Pokémon in the city."

Seeing the two people looking increasingly confused, he controlled his temper and continued to explain.

"We don't know what happened in the forest yet, so I need the highest evolved Pokémon in your hands to ensure that we can solve the root cause of the problem without fail."

After hearing Ma Zhishi's explanation, Xiaoxia's eyes lit up. She twisted her waist slightly, took out the Poké Ball and handed it to Ma Zhishi.

"This is my favorite. It's the Pokémon that I grew up with."

Xiaogang was not wary of the gym leader, especially since this person was related to his father.

So he also took Onix's Poké Ball in his hand, spread it out and handed it over, "This is a Pokémon I raised myself, please feel free to use it."

Although Xiaozhi was not mentioned by Ma Zhishi, he was not to be outdone. He waved his arms under the man's nose and said, "Mr. Ma Zhishi, my Butterfree is also the highest evolved Pokémon!"

Ma Zhishi looked at the three people with enthusiasm, but his expression was as ugly as if he had eaten bitter melon.

"Didn't your relatives as gym leaders give you Pokémon?"

"Hey, what do you mean?"

The three of them were stunned, and Xiaozhi's hand holding the returned Butterfree stopped in mid-air.

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Ma Zhishi understood everything. His eyebrows jumped, and he closed his eyes for a long time before speaking.

"Forget it, since it's a Pokémon you raised yourself, just keep it and don't get involved in this dangerous thing."

After saying that, he turned and left, striding into the observation room.

----

"What does Mr. Mashishi mean?" Xiaozhi released Butterfree and stroked its head. "Why do you suddenly not want our Pokémon anymore?"

"Maybe he thinks our Pokémon are too weak?" Brock sat on the ground and leaned against the wall. "He needs high-level Pokémon trained by real gym leaders."

"What an ignorant man! How can my sisters' Pokémon compare to mine..."

Xiaoxia squatted down and complained unhappily, "They only have little sea lions, Magikarp, and mosquito coil tadpoles in their hands. They are not as good as me."

Xiao Ye listened to the three people's casual conversation, his fingers running across the slightly reflective bracelet on his wrist, not knowing what he was thinking.

The boy standing next to him with his back to the wall came over and whispered in Xiaoye's ear, "Do you want to help?"

A warm breath blew past her ear, and Xiaoye stopped stroking the bracelet for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

“Well, but Mr. Ma Zhishi doesn’t seem to want us to get involved.”

"I have a way to get you into the observation room."

Xiao Ye raised his head when he heard that and looked into the obsidian eyes.

Yes, a very familiar look.

It seems that any promise made by Kitazawa Reiyuu will make people 100% convinced.

Calm, fearless, and confident of victory...

After he finished speaking, he felt his wrist being clamped and a pulling force came.

Slightly cold, but gentle movements.

When Xiaozhi and the other two who were sitting far away saw what Xiaoye and the others were doing, they looked at each other and followed them.

----

Kitazawa Lingyou knocked lightly on the cold and hard password door, and soon Miss Joy pushed open the door lock and appeared in front of them.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Miss Joy looked at the two young trainers and lowered her voice and said, "The inspection is not over yet. Please wait a moment."

As she was about to close the door, a bony hand grabbed the door and stopped her.

"Ms. Joy, we want to help."

"Help?" Miss Joy was stunned for a moment, then smiled and refused Kitazawa Lingyou who was leaning against the corner of the door with his toes.

"I appreciate your kindness, but let Happiny and the others do the nursing work. You guys just take a good rest."

"I'm a student at the Pokémon Professional Research School, and I've learned basic nursing knowledge."

Kitazawa Reiyu saw through the crack in the door that Happiny was busy as a wretch and Jigglypuff was dazed and moving slowly in the observation room, and continued to persuade them.

"I won't cause you any trouble. Besides..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaogang, who had been following behind him for a long time, took a few big steps and squeezed in, kneeling on one knee with his arms outstretched.

"Beautiful Miss Joy! My name is Xiao Gang, and my dream is to become the world's best Pokémon breeder! So I have some experience in taking care of Pokémon, so please let me help you!"

Xiaoye turned around in surprise and saw Xiaogang's slightly red face, as well as Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia who were greeting him awkwardly beside him.

Miss Joy looked hesitant, and was obviously tempted.

The nurses at the Pokémon Center in the Kanto region are usually Chansey and Luckycoin, but now most of the Chansey are not in good condition and their work efficiency has dropped significantly.

If these children with some medical knowledge come to help, perhaps many Pokémon lives can be saved.

Although it was against regulations, Miss Joy was willing to vouch for these children and accept their help.

Not for anything else, just because of the love in their eyes.

Pure, noble, and untainted.

"Then I'll trouble you, Pokémon nurses."

----

Ma Zhishi was originally sitting aside waiting for Miss Joy to treat Raichu, holding up the walkie-talkie to listen to Miss Junsha's report on the situation in the city.

But when he looked up by chance, he actually saw five familiar figures.

After blinking repeatedly to confirm, he held his breath and walked over quickly. He suppressed his voice but the anger could still be heard in it.

"How did you get in? This is not a place to play house!"

"No, we're here to help!"

Ash retorted, with Pikachu on his shoulder whispering in agreement.

Ma Zhishi looked at Miss Joy for confirmation with a slightly suspicious look.

Miss Joy nodded at him and began giving instructions to everyone.

Seeing this, Ma Zhishi didn't say anything more and just shut his mouth so as not to disturb Miss Joy's work.

He is somewhat aware of his voice, as can be seen from the occasional glances from Happiny beside him.

The habits acquired in the military camp are indeed not so easy to change.

On the other side, Xiaogang and Kitazawa Lingyou quickly took over all the tasks that originally belonged to the five people. They put on gloves and took gauze to help bandage the seriously injured Pokémon.

Ma Zhishi looked at the three people who were still standing in front of him like wood, and said in a low voice, "What are you still doing here? Aren't you here to help?"

Xiaoxia scratched her head, touching her fingertips on her chest, and said confidently, "Those with a medical background have already left, and the rest are not very good at it..."

Ma Zhishi took a deep breath and promised that today was definitely the worst day since he became the gym leader!

It's worse than the day I met that bell sprout trainer!

"Then what are you still doing here?" Ma Zhishi squeezed out words from between his teeth, "Go back and don't cause any more trouble!"

"No, no, no. Although we are not very good at treatment, we are still very confident in combat." Xiaozhi shook his partner on his shoulder and vowed.

"I'm a trainer with two gym badges, I can definitely help!"

"You? Are you good at fighting?" Ma Zhishi raised his eyebrows and said, "If you can be considered good at it, then there is no trainer in the world who is not good at it."

Xiaozhi and Pikachu also remembered the battle at the Withered Leaf Gym where they were almost crushed, and the muscles on their faces stiffened in defeat.

"Don't you know me? I'm the youngest of the four Hualan sisters."

Xiaoxia raised two index fingers and placed them on both sides of her cheeks, blinking and saying in a coquettish voice, "Sisters must have told you, right? Their fourth sister is not only powerful but also beautiful, the world's most beautiful girl, Xiaoxia!"

The dark-skinned man sneered, dealing a heavy blow to Xiaoxia. "They said 'The Three Hualan Sisters and the Leftover Tea Dregs'. As for the long list of names you mentioned...?"

Misty, who was also defeated, clenched her fists, retreated to Xiaozhi's side angrily and roared.

"How can they say that about me? They should be talking about the mermaid Xiaoxia and her three unknown sisters!"

But soon they turned their attention to Xiaoye.

This is their last hope!

Under great pressure, Xiao Ye smiled dryly and stepped forward in front of Ma Zhishi to accept his review.

"What is your name?"

Ma Zhishi glanced at Raichu who was receiving treatment and guessed that there should be enough time for him to play with these little babies for a while.

"Just say it. Don't bring up things like 'a trainer who is good at fighting' or 'the most beautiful girl in the world'."

"She is the most beautiful girl in the world who is not only cute but also powerful!"

Before Xiaoye could say anything, Xiaoxia behind him corrected him reflexively.

The next second, a hand covered his mouth.

Xiaozhi looked at Ma Zhishi and Xiaoye who were looking at him, raised his hand tremblingly and shook it, indicating that they didn't need to pay attention to the girl's intermittent stupidity.

Xiao Ye turned her head back and patted the bracelet with green flowers under Ma Zhishi's oppressive gaze.

"Ditto, say hello to Mr. Ma Zhishi."

The bracelet that was clinging to the slender wrist like green water began to dissolve and fade.

After a while, it turned into a pool of pink unidentified object lying on Xiaoye's arm.

Ma Zhishi immediately became interested, and when he got closer, his eyes met those of a pair of small eyes.

"This is Ditto, my Pokémon." Xiaoye took back his arms and held it in his arms, ending the inexplicable stare-in between the two of them. "It likes to transform into some accessories when it's outside."

The man retracted his gaze and stretched, then sat back in his seat and raised his eyelids and asked, "So?"

"My Ditto is not disturbed by inexplicable noises, and has not experienced gym battles, so it is still capable of fighting."

"That's right, and we are also the 'great heroes who protect the Pokémon Center in Viridian City' named by Miss Joy!"

When Miss Joy heard her name, she stopped what she was doing and looked up, only to see three young men surrounding Ma Zhishi, just like the scene in anime where bad boys and girls pick on good students.

Of course, it would be more similar if the muscles on this "good student"'s arms were not so strong.

In order to convince Ma Zhishi, Xiaoxia risked her dignity and said shamelessly, "You must have heard of it, right? It was us who drove Team Rocket away."

Ma Zhishi nodded, he had indeed heard about this matter.

It is said that four brave young men braved danger and defeated Team Rocket who wanted to seize Pokémon.

At that time, Sakaki, the master of the Tokiwa Gym, happened to be passing through Cerulean City. He specially had a small gathering with the three Cerulean sisters. He expressed his appreciation for the four people in his words and said that if he had the chance, he would go to thank them in person.

"Actually, there is..."

Xiao Ye, who is not good at boasting, stammered as he told what happened in Hualan City.

"Cerulean City was attacked by Team Rocket not long ago. Miss Junsha and I defeated Team Rocket leader Cahill together. Have you heard about it?"

Although he was beaten badly by Cahill unilaterally, he was able to drive away the Rockets thanks to the support of Cat Boss and Golduck Duck.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ma Zhishi's eyes.

I still remember that not long ago he contacted the three Hualan sisters to find out the situation, but they quickly gave him the answer.

He was told to take care of his own Withered Leaf City and not to worry about the affairs of Cerulean City.

However, through the media's interview with Miss Junsha from Hualan City, he discovered a clue.

Miss Junsha on TV greatly admired a trainer and praised his courage and strength in front of reporters. By the way, she also stepped on the three irresponsible Hualan sisters who were only concerned with performance.

When the reporter asked who this trainer was, Miss Junsha righteously refused the reporter.

In order to protect the safety of the trainer registered in the Pokémon League, she will not disclose any information about the trainer.

But what Ma Zhishi didn't expect was that the trainer who was praised by the harsh Miss Junsha as having "great potential" was the Sakutani Ye in front of him.

Although Cahill did not become a member of Team Rocket by relying on the abilities of Pokémon, the fact that he was defeated by a trainer with only two gym badges is also a leader in the league.

With such strength, it is no wonder that Raichu released about half of its electrical energy in the gym battle.

When Xiaoxia was mentioned about her hometown, she felt like she was listening to a story about another city. The boy kept talking about "Calan City" but she didn't feel it was real at all.

She lowered her head blankly, and the pigtails that had been tied up all the time became loose and hung casually at the back of her head.

"Impossible, Sakura didn't tell me this when I secretly contacted her before..."

"So, Mr. Ma Zhishi..."

Xiao Ye took a deep breath and asked Ma Zhishi, who had begun to waver, "Can you take us with you on this operation?"
