Outside Withered Leaf City, Ash and his party stood at the junction of the forest and the city with a slight wolf bèi. Pikachu was lying on the ground, apparently unable to walk. Eevee and Grass Snake barely stood beside Pikachu. Xiao Mao looked at them helplessly, if it weren't for the fact that after Xiao Gang successfully brought them to the gathering place of the big needle bee and the iron shell kun, he cheered up and took them out of the forest, I was afraid that Xiao Zhi and they would have to wander around the forest for a few days.

After seeing the familiar city, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang both said that they wanted to take a shower and change their clothes and take a good rest. And Ash shouted violently to destroy the atmosphere, "Hurry up and go to the Dead Leaf Gym, let's go." ”

"You're going to take on this challenge? Pikachu hadn't eaten properly in two days. And you're not in a good state right now. Could it be that you are planning to have a reason to lose the match?" asked Xiao Mao, who was checking Pikachu's body after Xiao Gang reached out and grabbed Xiao Zhi.

"I'm not going to lose the game!" Ash turned around and shouted at Shigeru with great vigour. Xiao Mao glanced at Xiao Zhi, should he say that he is worthy of a tendon creature? They are all tired and lie down, Xiao Zhi can still be so confident.

"Shigeru is right, Ash, see for yourself what Pikachu looks like now. Xiao Gang pointed to Pikachu lying on the ground. Ash looked in the direction that Xiao Gang's hand was pointing. I saw Pikachu lying on the ground weakly, spitting out his pink tongue slightly, and his dark eyes looked much darker. Apparently there is a great need for rest.

Shigeru examined Pikachu and found that he was just a little prostrate. He picked up Pikachu and handed it to Ash. Ash hurriedly took it and looked at Xiaomao. Xiao Mao saw Xiao Zhi looking at him, so he told the result of his diagnosis.

Ash complained a little helplessly, "Pikachu, don't be defeated by hunger, this is also part of the training." Just as Ash finished speaking, Ash's stomach suddenly screamed.

Ash smiled awkwardly, "Let's go to the Pokémon Center first......"

Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang looked at Xiao Zhi with a little disgust, while Xiao Mao smiled a little helplessly and said, "Okay, elf, they're already very tired." I've had a way to find a Pokémon Center before, come with me. ”

"Okay, fortunately, there is Xiao Mao in our group, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to go out in the deep mountains and old forests. Xiaoxia praised Xiaomao's behavior of always preparing in advance.

"Yes, if there is no Xiaomao, I'm afraid that we will be taken away by Ash every time. Xiao Gang also said that if there was no Xiao Mao, I was afraid that they would be more miserable this time.

Ash complained aggrievedly, "I have an effort to find the way according to what Xiao Mao said...... Pikachu, who stayed in Ash's arms, called out weakly, "Qiu ......"

"Pikachu, do you think that too?" Ash asked aggrievedly, Pikachu didn't bother to reply to Ash's words. And Xiao Mao, 'forcibly' picked up Eevee and Grass Teng Snake, and said to Ash, "Okay, everyone is tired, hold on, and go to the Pokémon Center to rest before talking about other things." ”

Ash glanced at Xiaomao, then at Pikachu in his arms, and finally let go of his shoulders and said helplessly, "That's the only way." ”

When Shigeru took Ash and them to the Pokémon Center, he handed over all the pokemon to Joey. After Joey arranged a hospital room for Pikachu and them, seeing that Ash and the others were still looking at him, he couldn't help but smile and ask them if they thought she was similar to her sisters, and sued them. She is the cousin of Joey of Nibi City and the cousin of Joey of Changxin City. At the same time, he asked them playfully, "Don't you think I'm the prettiest?"

Xiao Gang replied blankly, "Yes." And Xiao Mao was thinking, how did Joey and Junsha inherit their genes so perfectly?

At that moment, a boy and Gilly Egg ran in from the outside, pushing the bed where Little Lada 1 was lying. When Xiao Gang saw the situation of the little Lada, he asked, "What is the matter with that little Lada? ”

Joey stood up, looked at the little Lada who had been pushed into the emergency treatment room, and sighed, "This is the fifteenth of the month." ”

"The fifteenth, what's going on?" Xiao Mao asked suspiciously. Is there someone maliciously engaging in the elf battle?

Joey led them to the hospital room and saw a large number of trainers sitting beside his elf's bedside, tending to the injured elf. Joey says that they were all defeated by the Marchis of the Withered Leaf Gym.

Ash said with some surprise: "He... He's so powerful. Xiaoxia asked, "What, are you scared?"

Ash immediately replied that it was not. However, Xiaoxia ignored Ash, and continued, "Well, that's no way. Even though you get two badges. But that's just me and Xiao just sympathizing with you and giving it to you, but not by strength. ”

Xiao Mao saw that Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia were arguing, and he was very helpless. He was interested in opening his mouth to stop it. But he was now in a state of urgent need to rest, so he could only rub his forehead helplessly and wait for them to finish arguing on their own.

Even Xiao Gang, who has always been steady, advised Ash not to be too rash. Ash could only look at Shigeru, expecting him to say something.

When Shigeru saw Ash looking at himself, he took a look at the injuries of the other elves. He said, "Judging from the elf's injury, it should be an elf from the electrical department." And the electrical department is very strong, Ash, you better calm down and think about countermeasures. ”

"I think Xiao Mao is scared, hmph, when Pikachu comes out, I'll go with it to challenge the gym!" Hearing Xiao Mao's analysis that he is an elf in the electrical department, Xiao Zhi didn't want to think about it, so he planned to fight hard. Xiao Mao frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Just then, music suddenly sounded, and Joey came over and said that their elf had recovered. Ash: They immediately walked out. I saw Pikachu sitting on a chair, holding a red apple and eating happily.

Ibu lay on his stomach, seemingly sleeping lightly. The grass snake is carrying out the arrogant route, sitting sideways, holding the apple and eating elegantly.

Seeing that Pikachu had regained his health, Ash told Pikachu that he was going to challenge the gym. At this time, a teenager and Jili Dan ran over.

Pikachu didn't react much when he saw the miserable appearance, but after hearing Xiaoxia say that he was also beaten so badly. It was clear that Ash was going to take it to challenge such a powerful unknown enemy. Hurriedly stood up, shook his head at Ash, and said, "Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu." ”

Ash asked suspiciously, "What, what's wrong with you, Pikachu." ”

Pikachu said "Pika Pika" as he made movements with his short forelimbs, asking Ash if it didn't matter if it was beaten as badly as the elf. Eevee, who was pretending to be asleep, also opened his eyes and looked at Ash.

I saw Ash bow his head and say, "That's what I said...... and then after Pikachu breathed a sigh of relief, he looked up and laughed, "That's it, so it's no problem if you win." ”

Shigeru looked at Pikachu's expression with obvious horror, and then desperately tugged at the edge of the seat and refused to let Ash drag him away. He sighed helplessly, wanting to make Ash give up the elf battle was as difficult as getting Ash to give up on subduing the wild elf.

After Pikachu's final frenzy paralyzed Ash Den's whole body, Xiao Mao said, "Pikachu, the other party is an electrical elf, and you are also an electrical department, so you don't want to lose to Pokémon of the same attribute, right?"

"Pikachu?" Pikachu stopped the shock and looked at Shigeru suspiciously. Xiao Mao opened his mouth and explained to Pikachu, "I was injured by the elf of the electrical department before, and you are also an elf of the electrical department. Against the elves who are also in the electrical department, although there is no advantage, they will not be restrained. Well, are you interested in taking on a challenge?"

"Pickup... Pikachu looked a little shaken and looked at Eevee. Eevee nodded in agreement. Pikachu is too timid, and he should participate in more competitions to get used to fighting.

Pikachu looked at the numbness of his own electricity again, but looked seriously at Ash, who was waiting for the result. He nodded reluctantly. If it's an electrical elf, he shouldn't be as miserable as the previous elf, right?

Xiao Mao didn't plan to follow because his physical condition was not too good. The way to the Withered Leaf Gym was given to Ash after they made it clear where to turn on that street and how many meters they walked. So he took the grass snake to the lounge prepared for travelers in the Pokémon Center. And Eevee followed Ash and them to challenge the Withered Leaf Gym.

Before going to bed, Xiao Mao went to Joey to borrow some instruments and did a simple inspection for the grass snake. After saving the number of jù, Xiao Mao said to Cao Teng Snake, "When I wake up, I will prepare a more detailed training plan for you and Yibu." If you are bored, you can go out for a walk. ”

The grass snake didn't say anything, just quietly ate the snacks that Xiao Mao had prepared for it. Xiao Mao could only smile helplessly at the arrogant behavior of the grass snake, and then went to bed.

At this time, Ash and Pikachu, who were challenging the Dead Leaf Gym, were in a bitter battle, and the elf that appeared on the other side was Raichu 2.

After Pikachu and Raichu come on the court, Pikachu uses an electric shock to hit Reichu accurately, but it has no effect on Raichu. Instead, Reichul's electric shock left Pikachu seriously injured.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang asked Ash to take back Pikachu, but Pikachu forcibly stood up and looked at Ash, hoping to continue to stay on the field. Ash was momentarily embarrassed, and Pikachu took advantage of this to use a ramming attack on Raichu, and Raichu instead took the opportunity to use a megaton punch against Pikachu.

Raichu swung his fist and hit Pikachu as he flew over. Ash's 'Don't Go' didn't change Pikachu's mind. And the price Pikachu paid for this was to be kicked far away by the megaton kick.

Ash called Pikachu's name worriedly, but Pikachu got up again with a rare refusal to admit defeat, and seemed to want to fight back. At this time, Marchis ordered Raichu, "Give him the final blow, Raichu, 100,000 volts!"

Under Pikachu's surprised gaze, a deep yellow lightning flashed from Raichu's body. That represents a powerful trick, and the lightning accurately hit Pikachu, who had not fully climbed up, and Pikachu was knocked out.

Ash quickly ran over, picked up Pikachu and Xiaoxia Xiaogang, and they quickly ran back to the Pokémon Center. Eevee after seeing Pikachu resting in a hospital bed. He squinted slightly, then turned to leave. Go to the front desk and ask Joey, whose trainer is there.

Joey was worried that Ievee would go to his trainer alone, so he asked Gilly to lead the way. After Jili Dan sent Eevee to the room where Xiao Mao was resting, he quietly left.

Eevee looked at Xiao Mao, who looked tired, and then at the grass snake that had glanced at him without a trace when he entered. In the end, he easily jumped to the side of Xiao Mao's bed and lay down. Anyway, Pikachu needs to rest for some time, so it's better to wait for its own trainer to wake up.

After Yibu pretended to sleep beside Xiao Mao for more than an hour, he took advantage of the grass snake to wake up Xiao Mao without paying attention. After Xiaomao was woken up by Eevee, he rubbed his forehead and got up, looked at Eevee, who looked slightly wrong, and asked, "What's wrong, Eevee?"

Eevee didn't speak, but bit at Shigeru's clothes. Seeing Eevee like this, Xiao Mao said, "Eevee, don't worry, is something happened to Pikachu?"

"Bouie. Eevee looked at Shigeru and nodded. The grass teng snake originally watched Eevee's gaze turn to Xiao Mao, and saw that Xiao Mao's tired color disappeared a lot. He continued to rest, while Xiao Mao nodded and said, "You want to avenge Pikachu, right?"

"Bouie. Ibrahimovic tilted his head in denial. A faint smile crossed Xiao Mao's eyes, it was really hard-mouthed. And the grass snake on the side suddenly walked over, "Da moo." ”

"Do you want to challenge? Indeed, you of the grass type are more suitable for challenging the electric elves than the ordinary Ievee. Xiao Mao thought about it for a while, the restraint of the electric system against the grass system was not as strong as the restraint on the ordinary system.

When Eevee heard this, he wanted to express his intention to fight with Xiao Mao, but thinking of Xiao Mao's previous expression, Eevee decisively chose to back down. "Buibui. ”

"I know, Ibu, you're worried that I'm not as strong as Xiao Zhiqiang, and I'll be surpassed by him. Grass Teng Snake, wait a minute, come with me to challenge the Dead Leaf Gym. Xiao Mao expressed understanding, then looked at the grass teng snake and smiled.

The grass snake raised its chin and did not speak. Xiao Mao acquiesced to the Grass Snake, and took Eevee and the Grass Snake out of the room, and saw Ash and them at the vending machine in the corridor.

After seeing Shigeru, Ash asks a few things about Raichu and Pikachu. And Xiao Mao also learned from Xiaozhi's mouth that Marchis's Raichu was hastily promoted.

Xiao Mao had a plan in his heart, and told Ash about the high-speed movement training method that Pikachu could use at this stage. Shigeru asks Ash to take care of Eevee for him, and he wants to go out and buy something.

Xiao Zhi was a little puzzled by Xiao Mao's sudden need to buy something at this time, but he didn't come up with anything with a simple mind, although Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia felt puzzled. But he didn't say much, just promised Xiaomao that he would take care of Eevee.

Xiao Mao said, "Please." He left the Pokémon Center with the Grass Snake.

Xiao Mao took the map and came to the Withered Leaf Gym and pushed the door open. Seeing the three foreigners, Shigeru politely asked, "Is this the Withered Leaf Gym?" ”

"Oh, it's another baby? There are so many babies lately. The tall foreign man said in a strange accent.

Xiao Mao's face was calm, and he didn't get angry because of this. The grass snake stood beside Xiao Mao, not even bothering to give the foreigner a look. Seeing that he had been ignored so thoroughly, the foreigner also felt bored, so he announced the start of the competition just like an ordinary gym.

Marchis released Raichu, who looked at the grass snake with a fierce face as soon as he appeared, but the grass snake walked into the arena slowly, not even giving Raichu a look. Such an attitude angered both Raichu and Marchis.

"Raichu shows them how good we are, 100,000 volts!" Sensing the arrogance of the Grass Snake, Marchis ordered.

"Grass snake, use a rattan whip. Xiao Mao calmly ordered at the grass snake.

The grass teng snake understood what Xiao Mao meant, and the rattan whip was used as a wire to guide the 100,000 volts released by Raichu into the ground. The grass snake didn't need Xiao Mao's order again, and used another rattan whip to quickly whip it over.

After seeing that Xiao Mao actually dissolved 100,000 volts in this way, Ma Qishi unexpectedly glanced at Xiao Mao who calmly watched the battle situation. The original contempt became valued. And ordered Raichu, "Megaton kicks, Raichu." ”

"Grass Teng Snake, use a shadow clone. Xiao Mao guessed that the other party would not use the trick of moving at high speed. Sure enough, after the Grass Teng Snake used the shadow clone, Raichu stopped attacking, looking at the figure of the Grass Teng Snake around it, looking a little confused.

"Racul, 100,000 volts loom over the audience. Seeing that he couldn't directly attack the grass snake, Ma Qishi decisively ordered.

Yellow lightning flashed all over Raichu's body, and the entire field lit up. Xiao Mao frowned slightly, and then said, "Use the light wall 3." ”

The grass snake used the wall of light to block the attack of 100,000 volts, and before Raichu could react, Xiaomao ordered, "Use parasitic seeds." ”

The Grass Snake threw the seed out and parasitized it on Raichu's body, and the seed quickly grew and turned into vines to tie Raichu together. Marchis watched in amazement as Raichu was tied up and couldn't move. And Xiao Mao knew that he had to attack quickly to win before Marchis reacted. Then he said, "Grass Teng snake, use the rattan whip and then use the steel tail." ”

Steel Tail was taught by the Grass Teng Snake when he taught Eevee before, and although the success rate has not yet reached 100%, the success rate has also reached more than 80%.

Using a rattan whip, the Grass Snake lifted Raichu high and slammed him to the ground. When Raichu was smashed and was about to use an electric shock, the grass snake released the rattan whip and rushed towards Raichu who was about to land, and a white light appeared on his tail, and he slammed it on Raichu's body.

Raichu was knocked flying, but he was about to use an electric shock when he flew out, but the electric sac flashed, but no lightning came out. Puzzled, Raichu fell to the ground, trying to stand up. Xiao Mao ordered, "Grass Teng Snake, use knife leaves." ”

The Grass Snake moved to Raichu's side, its tail flashing green, and it struck Raichu. Raichu was knocked unconscious and incapacitated to fight. The referee declared that Shigeru's grass snake had won.

Shigeru took the orange badge and left the Dead Leaf Gym with the Grass Snake. After buying some things on the way, Xiao Mao said some modifications and mentions to Cao Teng Snake.

After hearing Xiao Mao's words, Cao Teng Snake thought for a while, and then agreed to the rectification plan. When Shigeru returns to the Pokémon Center with the Grass Snake, Shigeru entrusts the Grass Snake to Joey and goes to Ash.

Seeing Ash guarding Pikachu, he thought for a moment and didn't go in.

Three days later, Ash took Pikachu to the Withered Leaf Gym again to challenge, and Shigeru originally wanted to go in with Ash's hat, but thinking of Ash's habit of competing with hats, Shigeru could only follow in silence.

After Marchis said that he was easily defeated by Xiao Mao a few days ago, Xiao Ash looked at Xiao Mao unexpectedly, when did he come to play the Gym Match? and Xiao Xia thought that Xiao Mao really came to help Xiao Ash take revenge? Xiao Gang thought that Eevee disappeared after returning to the Pokémon Center that day, presumably letting Xiao Mao go to avenge Pikachu.

They didn't talk for long, and after Xiao Zhi knew that Xiao Mao had defeated the other party, his fighting spirit rose to a new level. And when Marchis saw that Ash continued to let Pikachu maintain his current appearance, he was a little light.

After the fight, Pikachu was slapped hard by Raichu's tail and whipped several times on the ground, and Raichu used Tarzan to press the top and pressed heavily on Pikachu's body.

Pikachu let out a cry of pain, and Shigeru frowned slightly, as Raichu was about to use Tarzan to press the top again. Ash shouted at Pikachu, "Don't lose, Pikachu!"

Pikachu opened his eyes, got up, and quickly left where he had been. And Raichu left because of Pikachu and fell to the ground.

Pikachu's dodge surprised Marchis. Seeing that Pikachu was out of danger, Ash asked Pikachu to use the high-speed movement he had practiced earlier.

Marchis asked Raichu to use Tarzan to press the top, but he was always dodged by Pikachu, and even if Raichu used his tail to attack, he couldn't hit the light Pikachu.

Ash asked Pikachu to use high-speed movement continuously, and Raichu followed Pikachu's figure, but instead made himself dizzy. And Marchis asked Raichu to use 100,000 volts.

A high-intensity 100,000 volts enveloped the audience, and many things around it were shattered by 100,000 volts. Ash and the others looked at the situation in the field worriedly.

When the smoke cleared, Pikachu used his tail to stand on the playing field. It turns out that Pikachu uses his tail to bring 100,000 volts of electricity underground.

Ash ordered at Pikachu, "Pikachu, use the steel tail." ”

"Raichu, use 100,000 volts. Not to be outdone, Marchis ordered.

Raichu wants to use 100,000 volts, but finds that he has no power. The black eyes were full of doubt, and at this time, Pikachu's lightning bolt-type tail with white light had already twitched fiercely.

When Rachu fell unconscious, the referee awarded Pikachu the victory. Pikachu whispered happily, "Pikachu." ”

After the match, Ash shook hands with Marchis and received an orange badge. When Ash happily hugged Pikachu, Pikachu was a little uncomfortable and subconsciously used an electric shock.

After hearing Ash say, "I seem to see the Victory Star." Xiao Mao's eyes couldn't help but cross a faint smile.

When they came out of the Dead Leaf Gym and returned to the Pokémon Center, Ash told Shigeru that he had gotten the orange badge, but Kasumi complained that "Shigeru only fought once, and he won easily." You hit it twice, not to mention, Pikachu is still injured. What is there to show off. ”

"I! one day, I will definitely defeat you!" Ash couldn't refute, so he could only declare war again.

A smile crossed Xiao Mao's eyes, but his mouth was joking, "Counting this time, Xiao Zhi, you have defeated me one hundred and seventy-nine times in a row." ”

"Not this time!" Ash said hurriedly. And Xiaoxia asked rhetorically, "Why don't you count, Xiaomao won easily, compared to you, who was cleaned up miserably." Nature is the winner. ”

Xiao Zhi couldn't argue with Xiao Xia, so he looked at Xiao Gang. Xiao Gang tilted his head to indicate that he was not involved. Ash looked at Pikachu, who silently took two steps back and communicated with Eevee.

Ash shouted depressedly, "I didn't lose directly to Xiaomao, no, no." ”

"Even if you don't count, Xiao Zhi, you have lost to Xiao Mao one hundred and seventy-eight times!" Xiao Xia said without sparing.

"Someday, I'll definitely win it back!" Ash shouted unconvinced.

Xiao Mao couldn't help but smile when he heard Ash's energetic oath. He wouldn't let Ash win, after all, this was the only thing he could attract Ash's attention except for his rival status, right?
