"The format of the Gym Tournament is a V-1 format, where battles are fought in a standard arena. The winner can get the badge directly, and defeat is defeat, and the final word is no problem. ”

Ma Zhishi didn't make any rude moves, which seemed to be a little inconsistent with his body shape. But also, after all, it is a trainer approved by the Pokémon Alliance, and if there is a character problem, a background problem, or disrespect in behavior, it is generally seized regardless of the strength of the problem.

"Yes."

He nodded, turned back and nodded to the younger brother behind him.

"Let's go get the venue ready."

"It's just..."

Ma seems to be interested in Sika, who is holding on to Ash's shoulder.

"It's called Sika, and it's a Leolu."

"So, you're not a rookie trainer? How long have you been out on a trip? ”

"Uh... I'm a novice trainer... He's just a Pokémon I accidentally took in. This is only my first year as a Pokémon Trainer. ”

Ash shook his head.

"Really... How many badges do you have? ”

"Two, the gray president of Nibi City and the blue badge of Hualan City."

"Quite powerful. Truth be told, it's rare for a trainer who travels in the first year to be able to collect two badges in such a short period of time. Many trainers who travel in the first year need at least a long time to establish a tacit understanding with Pokémon, understand the Pokémon's various statistics, and then adapt to the intensity of Pokémon battles before they can challenge the Pokémon Gym..."

"Isn't it worthy of a trainer who came out of the genius town, the real new town?"

Ma Zhishi muttered to himself, then walked towards the hall, waving his hand for Ash to follow.

The indoor lights illuminated it, and in the square standard training ground in the vast hall, Xiao Zhi and Ma Zhishi stood on one side.

"Is there a problem with one Pokémon to fight against?"

"No problem."

Ash nodded, then glanced at Pikachu on his right shoulder.

"Go ahead, Pikachu."

"Pickup."

Pikachu nodded, and Ash jumped off of his body and jumped towards the arena.

"Pikachu... You should know what Pokémon I usually use. ”

Ma Zhishi narrowed his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed on his originally cold face.

"Come out, Raichu."

The Poké Ball is tossed high, and Raichu jumps out of the Poké Ball and jumps out of mid-air. The bright yellow fur is larger than Pikachu's physique, and the black is like the tail of a long whip.

"Raichu."

"Pickup..."

Sika jumped off Ash's shoulder, jumped out of the arena, and ran to the side. Ash's heart sank, because although from the knowledge he had seen in the books in the past few days, he could barely judge that this Raichu seemed to be a hasty Pokémon, but Pikachu's performance was some...

Landing on all fours, with his tail raised and sparks on his cheeks bursting in a straight line, this is a sign of Pikachu's nervousness.

"Raichu is an evolved form of Pikachu..."

Ash muttered inwardly.

"This Raichu is standing with his heels in his stance, and it's clear that this Raichu isn't used to moving in battle..."

"There should be a good chance that this Raichu... Doesn't use high-speed moving skills at all. ”

"But for a Pokémon that was very flexible before evolution, even if there is a big difference in body before and after evolution, it should leave at least one high movement speed skill, unless..."

"This is just Raichu who was not proficient in high-speed movement skills before the evolution, but hastily promoted it."

"This fight is an important fight for Pikachu to regain his self-confidence, and he must not lose. My opponent Raichu has not been well cultivated, so it should be very beneficial to me..."

"No matter what, you can't lose."

Ash secretly gritted his teeth.

“...”

Ma Zhishi frowned slightly.

This Pikachu doesn't seem to be in good shape.

As the owner of the gym in Withered Leaf City, an electrical specialty trainer who has been training various electric Pokémon for a long time, he is naturally familiar with Pikachu's more representative electric attribute Pokémon.

And this Pikachu... It seems to be cultivated very well, the power seems to be sufficient, the voltage is good, the center of the combat posture is very suitable, and the only thing that doesn't feel right is that it seems to be very unconfident in yourself.

This is clearly a bit counterintuitive.

After all, Pokémon like this tend to be full of confidence. It seems that he shouldn't be the kind of pothouse flower-like Pokémon that is trained to a certain extent before he comes out to fight others.

"Looks like I can't let you through..."

Ma Zhishi's eyes flashed, and he took the lead in attacking:

"Raichu, 100,000 volts!"

"Get out of the way."

"Ray..."

Lei Qiu groaned softly, the electric sac on his cheek suddenly tightened, and with the end of the last "Qiu", the clear yellow thunder light burst out, shining the entire Dao Hall!

Ash's pupils opened suddenly, how could it be?

It's somewhat, it's too exaggerated... The Pokémon that have been hastily promoted are not generally trainers themselves... Could it be that when Ma Zhishi caught this Pokémon, it was already Raichu?

Or did he just raise Raichu like this? Wait a minute.

"His attitude towards Pokémon evolution is not very suggestive of learning..."

“... Ma Zhishi, he is a very powerful Pokémon trainer, don't look at his many Pokémon look like they haven't been trained well, many Pokémon trainers who underestimate him have been taught a lot of lessons. ”

Ash suddenly remembered what Dr. Ohki said when he was safe with Dr. Ohki at the Pokémon Center.

Does that mean...

Ma Zhishi has no intention of exercising Raichu's mobility ability at all? Or do you know that because you know that after Raichu evolves, your action speed will sooner or later not be as fast as many Pokémon, so you simply sacrifice your speed to increase your other attributes?

Damn, I didn't expect this... Also, as a gym trainer, how can you not even take care of your own Russian Pokémon?

The speed of thought was very fast, and between the lightning and flint, several thoughts had flashed through Ash's mind, and the thunder struck the ground, and the gravel and dust exploded and flew. Ash tried to command Pikachu, but was blinded by dust.

Ash's brows furrowed, Pikachu was not in shape, the opponent's level was obviously beyond expectations, and the last straw of the idea that had been wavering in his heart was also crushed... It seems that the hole cards that were planned to be left before are better used out.

Ash pursed his lips, and sure enough, the gym trainer didn't have a fuel-efficient lamp... It's better to be humble in the future.

The Pokémon League completely allows trainers to command Pokémon using methods such as psychic connections, and Ash seems to be able to take advantage of this rule.

The corners of Sika's mouth curled slightly, and the power that had risen quietly retracted from her body.

Ash had experienced a recent accident, and that power had been activated in the midst of suffering.

Waveguide.

The waveguide is born in the will, and the heart is the node and explodes. Ash remained silent, his eyes sharpened.

The invisible power quietly swept away, and a new blue world quietly emerged in Ash's mind.

While other uses for waveguides, such as high-end techniques such as telepathic connection, for Ash's rough waveguide control ability, trying to achieve those methods of auxiliary combat is almost the same as dreaming. But Ash thinks to himself that using the most rudimentary scout usage to aid in combat is barely enough...
