Two days later.

"It's a good weather, so let's take this symbol smoothly!" As soon as he came out of the Pokémon Center, the warm sun shone on Peng's body, and he felt full of strength. Although Xiao Yao's words didn't get the ribbon at the Golden Conference two days ago, she was quite optimistic, after all, there were still many opportunities, and she would definitely be able to win five ribbons within half a year.

"Are you also here to challenge the battle arena?" An unfamiliar voice sounded, and Peng immediately noticed a silver-haired young man standing behind him, who seemed to be a little taller than himself... He looks like he's about 15 years old.

"Well, do you have anything to do, or do you want to fight with me?" Ah Peng immediately responded to him, and there were often trainers on the road who challenged Ah Peng, because it was in the Kanto region, and there were many people who knew Ah Peng, including those who wanted to take a group photo, some who wanted to sign autographs, and even those who apprenticed......

"Battle?hehe, I'm sorry~ My current identity is not a Pokémon trainer, this is my business card. As he spoke, the man took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Peng.

"Warwick Gym referee... Eh, you're a referee?" Ah Peng was taken aback after reading it, and his expression didn't recover for a long time.

"It's... Yes, why are you so surprised? Are you lamenting that I'm so young as a referee?"

"Uh...... It's nothing, in fact, I've always wanted to complain before, the referee's job is also a national first-class professional...... "When Ah Peng saw the unique Kanto steel seal pattern on it, he was speechless, when did the referee profession become so NB, and the league actually stamped the steel seal to distinguish the authenticity......

"Let's pack up, let's go, Ah Peng!" At this moment, Xiao Yao, who had cleaned up in the house early in the morning, also came out, and Xiao Sheng next to him was still eating potato chips, when did this little ghost become as greedy as Xiao Yao.

"Well, right away. Ah Peng responded to Xiao Yao, and then looked at the business card in his hand, this young man is called Kamiya Ruofeng, a very strange name, but it seems that he has heard it somewhere......

"That~ can you call you Ruofeng, right? Although it feels weird..."Ah Peng asked, nodded on the other side, and Ah Peng continued: "I'm going to challenge that battle arena, do you know the way?"

Ruofeng suddenly sighed, "It's really unfortunate, today is the weekend, so the arena is closed, if you don't dislike it, you can come to our Warwick Gym to challenge, just treat it as ~ as a warm-up." Ruofeng explained, but Ah Peng always felt that he had no confidence in asking him the last sentence. Although I am not a person who likes to kick the gym, since everyone has sent out invitations, wouldn't it be undignified not to go?

"Then let's go over and have a look, I haven't seen the gym in the Kanto region yet!" Xiao Sheng looked excited, Xiao Yao's words were okay, this time it was supposed to be Ah Peng's challenge, as for the arena or the gym or something, it didn't matter.

"Then Ruofeng, please show us the way. Peng said. Seeing that Ah Peng agreed, Ruofeng suddenly exhaled a long breath, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

But after all, Peng has never heard of a Warwick Gym here. I took out my own universal illustrated book.,I found that there really is this place.,But it doesn't seem to be included in the Eight Avenue Pavilion in the Kanto region.,Not many people come to challenge.,It's still a euphemism...

"By the way, Ruofeng, you just said that your current identity is not a Pokémon trainer, so before..." On the way, Ah Peng suddenly thought of this question, how could there be people who were interested in the profession of referee, and besides, he was so young.

"Haven't you traveled?" asked Xiao Yao. Ruofeng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then replied with an expression full of concern: "Ah~ I used to have a ......" Ruofeng wanted to speak and stopped, as if he didn't want to recall that past.

Chatting and chatting, the group came to the Warwick Gym, which looked decent on the outside, and was not much different from the general gym facilities. After entering the door, what appeared in Ah Peng's eyes was a different scene, the surroundings were deserted, and several people wearing gym costumes were packing up their things, as if they were in... Uproot?

"It's... What's going on?" Xiao Sheng asked, "Are you going to move?"

Before Ruofeng could answer, suddenly an old man came out of the back room, with silver hair like Ruofeng.

"Ah Feng, you are... Wait, you are!" the old man was talking to Ruofeng, and suddenly noticed Ah Peng next to Ruofeng, "God Peng! No!" seemed to recognize Peng, but the reaction was too big......

"If... Ruofeng, you are~" Ah Peng was also confused, and was about to ask Ruofeng, but suddenly he bowed 90 degrees towards Ah Peng!

"I'm sorry! I lied to you just now!" Ruofeng suddenly said that?" I'm not a referee at all, this gym was opened by my grandfather, and this old man in front of you is the one in front of you. Our gym has been open for decades, and then grandpa passed the gym to Dad, and Dad is also very dedicated to this gym for ten years, but just half a year ago, he and his mother went abroad for a vacation, but the flight they took was... But~" Ruofeng couldn't help but sobbed as he spoke.

"Don't worry, tell us slowly, maybe we can help. Ah Peng said, hearing that Xiao Yao and Xiao Sheng were confused, "Ah Peng, what are you talking about? They haven't said they want us to help, how could you..."

"Haven't you found out yet? He brought us here under the guise of being a gym referee, and then told us about some of his family's suffering, what can you think of from that?" explained Ah Peng, and the two of them suddenly realized.

"That's right, it's true that as you said, our gym is about to be forced to close. Grandpa Ruofeng sighed and said.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Yao didn't like to detour very much, so he asked straight to the point, Ruofeng and his grandfather nodded to each other, and then Ruofeng said: "Actually, there is only one reason why we were forced to close the gym, that is, we couldn't pass the audit of the gym on the alliance's side, you know, every three years all the gyms have to go through the audit of the alliance, the examiner is generally Miss Joy, the first few audits Dad has passed, but no one thought that he would have an accident... Grandpa's words are already old, and his Pokémon can't play anymore, so ......"

"So it's still time for you to take on this burden, isn't it?" Xiao Yao suddenly spoke, but it was rare for Xiao Yao to take the initiative so much today.

"That being said, but I~" If the wind wants to speak, it seems that there is something unspeakable.

Just as everyone was waiting for him to answer, Ruofeng's grandfather suddenly coughed twice, walked up to Ruofeng and touched his head. "Because his father hopes that he will have a better life in the future, he did not let him become a Pokémon trainer when he was 10 years old, but continued to let him study, until his father died half a year ago, he decided to protect this gym, but this time the alliance sent not Miss Joy, but a very high level trainer, Ah Feng He lost three games in a row, because the level of the gym trainer is not up to standard, the alliance gave an order to close the gym, which is also a matter of no way~" After saying that, Grandpa Ruofeng sighed again, and now he could only use crutches to support his body, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

"But why are you pretending to be a referee?" asked Peng.

"This... I heard that a genius boy in the original Kanto region, that is, you, won the league for three consecutive years, and I heard that you came to challenge the development zone, and I discussed with my grandfather that if I could ask you for help, I would definitely pass the review, and I was looking for it near the Pokémon Center these days, hoping to meet you one day. Please, save our gym! With your strength, you will definitely be able to!" Ruofeng said and bowed to Ah Peng again. Peng just looked at him, with an elusive expression on his face, and time seemed to stand still for three seconds...

"I refuse. Peng replied.
