Pokémon Heart Journey

Xiaozhi clenched his fists slightly, but still took a deep breath and said to him: "Hello, Master Ma Zhishi, I am Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. We met before on the Saint Annu."

"Pika Pika!" The Pikachu on Xiaozhi's shoulder also stretched out his hand and greeted him.

"Oh~! I remember you too, little guy." Seeing this, Ma Zhishi reached out his hand and touched Pikachu's head. Faced with Ma Zhishi's skillful technique, Pikachu squinted his eyes comfortably.

This action couldn't help but make Xiaoyang, who had read the original work, raise his eyebrows. It seemed that because everyone in this world could feel the strength of Pokémon itself, Ma Zhishi would indeed not be the same as in the original work for Pikachu, who had already reached the king level.

"Yeah, it's being cultivated very well." Looking at the Pikachu on Xiaozhi's shoulder, Ma Zhishi nodded involuntarily. Then he realized that his two younger brothers and Xiaozhi behind him were looking at him with strange eyes.

"Ahem," Ma Zhishi couldn't help but cough awkwardly, then he said to Xiaozhi and the others: "Sorry, sorry, my original Pokémon was also a Pikachu. Of course, it has now evolved into a Raichu. You should have seen it on the Saint Anno."

After hearing what he said, everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, Ma Zhishi turned to look at Xiaozhi and said to him: "I remember your name seemed to be Xiaozhi, right? Your Pikachu looks very well trained. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen someone train a Pokémon like Pikachu to the king level."

When Xiaozhi heard what Ma Zhishi said, he couldn't help but feel happy and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Ma Zhishi."

Ma Zhishi nodded to Xiaozhi, then changed the tone and said: "But as a Pokémon, it is better to evolve to the final form, so that the power it brings will be even stronger."

As he said that, he took out a Thunder Stone from his pocket and handed it to Xiaozhi.

Looking at the Thunder Stone in Ma Zhishi's hand, Xiaozhi was stunned at first, but then he reacted and understood what the other party meant. He turned his head slightly and glanced at Pikachu on his shoulder.

Pikachu also looked at Xiaozhi. He didn't say anything, but gave him a firm look. Xiaozhi immediately understood, then turned to Ma Zhishi, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ma Zhishi, but my Pikachu does not plan to evolve."

Hearing what Xiaozhi said, Ma Zhishi frowned slightly in confusion, "Xiaozhi, you should know that after a Pokémon evolves, the abilities it can obtain will become more powerful. Your Pikachu has very good potential. If it evolves into a Raichu with the Thunder Stone, its strength may be even higher."

In response to Ma Zhishi's words, Xiaozhi still shook his head firmly and said: "I know this too, but I believe that even without relying on evolution, Pikachu and I will continue to improve, and I will definitely stand on the highest stage with him."

"Pika!" Pikachu also shouted with great momentum.

"Hahaha! You two really are two courageous men. Okay, I get it. Then, who of you are here to challenge the gym? Make it clear in advance that I will not show mercy," Ma Zhishi put the Thunder Stone back in his hand, then looked at everyone and asked Xiaozhi and the others.

"Except for Miss Nancy and Serena, everyone else present here will be challenged," Xiao Yang replied.

"Hahaha, so it's a big order! Well, let's get started quickly!" Ma Zhishi turned around and greeted everyone, then walked towards the battle venue of the Withered Leaf Gym.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed.

But on the way, he still looked at Nancy behind him with some curiosity, thinking to himself: I saw Miss Nancy and Xiaozhi have such contact before on the Saint Anne, and I thought it was an accident, but now it seems...

Afterwards, he glanced at the excited Xiaozhi, as well as Sundae and Serena following behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Young people nowadays are really amazing. Not only can they kidnap a promising gym leader, but they can also have their feet on three boats at once, and none of these three boats capsized. It's really terrifying!

At this time, Xiaozhi's mind was full of gym battles. He never expected that Ma Zhishi would slander him in his heart like this, although it cannot be said to be slander.

After a while, everyone successfully arrived at the battle venue. Ma Zhishi and Xiaozhi stood at both ends respectively, and the others came to the audience seats as usual. The referee was one of Ma Zhishi's younger brothers.

"The Gym Battle of the Withered Leaf Gym begins now. The rules of the match are one-on-one. The match ends when one of the two sides completely loses the ability to fight. The match begins now!"

With the referee's order, the game officially started.

"Come on! Pikachu!" Xiaozhi pointed his hand forward and shouted at Pikachu.

"Pika!" Pikachu also shouted and jumped onto the field.

Ma Zhishi took out a Poké Ball and grinned, "I didn't expect you to actually send him out. That's great. I'll let you see the true power of Pokémon after evolution. Go, Raichu!"

After a flash of white light, a powerful Raichu appeared on the field.

"Leilei!"

"Pickup!"

As soon as Raichu appeared, he provoked Pikachu, and Pikachu glared back without giving in.

Before the two sides started fighting, sparks flew between their Pokémon.

"In that case, I will also prove to Mr. Ma Zhishi that even if Pokémon does not evolve, it will not be bad. Go, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Xiaozhi shouted to Pikachu.

"Pickup!"

"Haha, that's a pretty good momentum, but I wonder if you can still maintain the same momentum after your Pikachu falls? Raichu, let's use Lightning Flash too!"

"Leilei!"

The two mice, one big and one small, instantly turned into white light and rushed towards each other, but just when they were about to collide with each other, Pikachu suddenly made a sharp turn and came directly behind Raichu.

"what!"

"thunder!"

Pikachu's swift movements and superb skills directly shocked Ma Zhishi and Raichu, causing them to be unable to react.

And Pikachu immediately seized the opportunity and used Lightning Flash at an even faster speed, slamming directly into Raichu's back.

"thunder!"

The huge body of Raichu was knocked away by the tiny Pikachu and it spun several times on the ground before stopping.
