Tuesday, December 30th.

The blue harbor of the city of withered leaves, the sea breeze blows.

To quote Dr. Ohki's writing, "Dead leaves are the orange and yellow colors of the twilight." ”

The afterglow of the sun cast out to sea, and the whole city was covered with an orange halo.

The "orange badge" of dead leaves is also named after it.

Docked at the Dead Leaf Port, you can see a luxury passenger ship called the "Water Flow".

And the captain of the "Water Flow" is Ma Zhishi, who is known as the "lightning tough guy".

Lu Ye looked at the big signboard of the Withered Leaf Gym with mixed feelings.

Is it that the salary of the gym owner is really low?

Not only is Xiaogang going to be a security guard, but even Ma Zhishi is going to be a sailor......

"Kouji!" Geng Ghost floated in mid-air, looking at the sign, smiling and nodding.

This new little brother is very good!

I don't need to remind you, you just came to the gym by yourself!

"The emblem is not badge, and the baby can't be lost......"

Lu Ye shook his head and kept up with Ash.

……

Inside the Dead Leaf Gym.

The yellow-haired man was dressed in a camouflage vest, his legs in cargo pants were resting on the table, and he was shaking his head with headphones on.

As a former major of United Forces, Ma Zhishi is also a big fan of TARP.

It is said that he also recorded and released his own hip-hop records... But sales are quite dismal.

"Pavilion Master!"

The noise broke Ma Zhishi's leisure time.

He took off his headphones and looked dissatisfied: "What's wrong again?" ”

"There's a challenger coming to the door."

A member of Ma Zhishi's team, Tony of the sausage mouth, said dryly:

"Vice Captain Beth Kwai Si, you're already fighting with the challenger!"

"Oh." Ma Zhishi said lazily: "Then it would be good to let Bisi Kuisi solve it directly." ”

"But the problem is," Tony whispered, "that challenger, it seems to be the trainer who defeated you before!" ”

Ma Zhishi was slightly stunned, and a fierce smile appeared on his face.

When it comes to trainers who take on the second challenge, the gym master will naturally show his true level.

"Defeated me before?"

Ma Zhishi got up, turned his neck, and made a soft noise.

"Let's go, let's see who the challenger is!"

……

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

When Lu Ye walked into the Dead Leaf Gym, Ash had already started the second round of challenges.

The woman-like Bess Aois, commanding Raichu, constantly counterattacked.

Eventually, Ash's Pikachu is knocked out by Raichu's "Volt Attack" and falls into a circle.

Is this already the second round of the competition? Lu Ye said blankly:

"You're too efficient, aren't you..."

Ash hugged Pikachu with one hand, scratched his head and smiled: "Because, I can't miss any opportunity to become stronger......"

"Didn't you already get the orange badge?"

Xiao Zhi nodded and said seriously: "But I still want to ask Mr. Ma Zhishi for the combat skills of the electricity system!" ”

If there's any difference between DP Ash and Muji, it's the change in mentality.

Muji Ash is extremely paranoid and even a little arrogant......

But under the tutelage of Qinglu, Teacher Lu and others, Xiaozhi has obviously embarked on the road of continuous learning.

Lu Ye touched his chin.

It stands to reason that with Ma Zhishi's strength, it is impossible to lose to Xiao Zhi, a stunned young man.

The only possibility is to put the whole Pacific Ocean in water.

But even so, Ma Zhishi is also the first gym master that Xiao Zhi defeated...

Ma Zhishi, shame!

"Hey, little ghost, what do you think of Mr. Ma Zhishi!"

Bisi Kuisi frowned and said, "He is not idle, and it takes a lot of effort to accompany the two of you!" ”

Two?

Lu Ye looked left and right, pointing to himself.

"Look at what." Bisi Kwai Si said coldly, "If you want to challenge the hall master, pass my level first!" ”

Lu Ye was overjoyed.

And this kind of good thing?

"No, you're going to get busy with yours."

Lu Ye smiled heartily, and was about to drag Ash away.

Pikachu in Ash's arms, but woke up slowly.

"Pika—" Pikachu said, still fighting.

"Pikachu, let's go and heal first." Ash comforted Pikachu and said, "Wait until next time!" ”

"Pickup... (?????? ︿??????)”

At this time.

There was a 'bang' and the back doors were pushed open from both sides.

"Boy, don't rush to leave!"

Ma Zhishi wears punk glasses, camouflage uniform, and folds his arms in a very chic manner.

Tony, who is followed by a sausage mouth, holds a radio, and a rhythmic BGM flows from it.

Lu Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

This guy... Do you still have your own stereo when you come out?!

Ma Zhishi glanced at Xiao Zhi and bowed slightly.

Tony immediately put down the stereo, took out a spray, and handed it to Ash.

"This is a special wound medicine for the Dead Leaf Gym, and it is especially effective for electric shock injuries."

Tony put his sausage mouth on his mouth and whispered, "Don't look at the boss... He is also friendly to challengers! ”

Xiao Zhi took the wound medicine and showed a sincere smile: "Thank you, Mr. Ma Zhishi!" ”

Ma Zhishi crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and bent down to turn off the BGM of the stereo.

I thought it was... It turned out to be Ash's baby.

That's it, don't bully the children, or go back to play electric -

Suddenly, Ma Zhishi's afterglow caught a glimpse of Lu Ye and frowned slightly.

This guy seems to be a little more handsome than me...

Slowly.

Ma Zhishi rubbed his chin with his gloved right hand and fell into deep thought.

Why do I think, this little brother, a little familiar...

"Let's go, it's not too late to challenge next time." Lu Ye said to Ash.

"Hmm!" Xiao Zhi nodded and beckoned with a smile: "Mr. Ma Zhishi, see you next time!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Ma Zhishi shouted.

Walking to Lu Ye's side, Ma Zhishi circled two or three times, and was amazed.

This look made Lu Ye's eyelids jump.

You guy...

It's not like Sakaki, and you're going to give me the badge, right!?

Ma Zhishi stopped, and a smile slowly appeared on his hard-lined face.

"This little brother... Let's fight! ”

Lu Ye: ???

The vice captain Beth Kuisi's face changed, and she stepped forward and said:

"But Captain, he hasn't ...... yet"

"Don't move."

Ma Zhishi stretched out his hand to stop Bisi Kuisi, who was about to approach, and looked at Lu Ye, the corners of his mouth hooked.

"This little brother... It's not something you can handle..."

It was the first time that Bisi Kuisi saw the captain look like a great enemy, and she was at a loss for a while.

But that little white face obviously looks so thin......

Xiao Zhi looked up curiously, looking around at Ma Zhishi, who was nearly two meters tall, and Teacher Lu, who was about one meter eighty-three.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Ma Zhishi... You two know each other? ”

Ma Zhishi laughed and put his arm around Lu Ye's shoulder:

"I ran into it when I played electric before!"

"That's right, mentor...," Ma Zhishi said in a low voice.

Lu Ye was not surprised that Ma Zhishi recognized him.

Like Nazi, Ma Zhishi was also one of the three cadres of the Rocket Team.

After the disintegration of Team Rocket, Ma Zhishi continued to serve as the owner of the Dead Leaf City Pavilion and helped Crimson and others in various major events.

It can be said that this is the image of a soldier who is informal, has the ability to judge calmly, and even has a bit of dry humor.

Despite the fact that he seems to be a reckless man, and his strength on paper does not seem to be strong.

But what Ma Zhishi is really good at is the wild fight of life and death, and once put Crimson in a desperate situation.

After serving as the owner of the museum, Ma Zhishi was not interested in this kind of performance form of competition, so he has been coping with things.

"No wonder he lost to a stupid thing..."

Lu Ye thought to himself and smiled slightly.

Anyway, I won't fight you, so it's useless for you to look at me like this!

"I've been looking up for a long time, Mr. Ma Zhishi."

Ma Zhishi narrowed his eyes, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Mentioned identity... Can you still be so indifferent?

Seeing that Teacher Lu didn't seem to have any intention of fighting, Ash blinked: "So, Teacher Lu and I will leave first?" ”

Ma Zhishi crossed his arms and muttered for a long time.

Rumors about the mentor kept flashing through my mind.

Maybe... He really changed Team Rocket, and was recognized by Nazi and even Sakaki-sama.

But, want me to admit this guy, unless......

"I'm still the same as I just proposed."

Ma Zhishi pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a big smile, his eyes sharp:

"How is it, Mr. Lu... Let's have a non-discriminatory game! ”
