8. I'll go back and practice for a few more years

Nibi City, Pokémon Center.

Miss Joy, as usual, stayed quietly at the front desk of the Pokémon Center with her assistant Gilly Egg, waiting for the Pokémon and trainers who needed help.

A handsome boy of seventeen or eighteen years old walked in through the door.

"Miss Joey, please help my Pokémon recover." Lu Ziming handed the four Pokéballs to Miss Joy.

"No problem, please leave it to me." Miss Joy smiled and took Lu Ziming's Poke Ball.

"Whew~ It's finally time to take a break." Lu Ziming wiped his sweat and sat down on the chair next to him. Today is the fourteenth day that he has been in the Pokémon world. Over the course of two weeks, he took in two more Pokémon. As for Kohei Soma and Ayasaki, they returned to the Central Tower the next day because they couldn't afford the value points they could stay in this world.

Lu Ziming sat on the chair and took a nap for a while, and Miss Joy came to him with a Pokémon that had recovered its strength.

"Ah, have you recovered? Thank you, Miss Joy. Lu Ziming said.

"It's nothing, that's what I'm supposed to do, after all, Joey's job is to help trainers in need." Miss Joy laughed.

"Hehe, Miss Joy from Tokiwa City said the same." Lu Ziming said with a smile. He had been to the Pokémon Center in Tokiwa City before, and when he thanked him, Miss Joy said the same thing.

"That's because we're all Joey." Miss Joy smiled, "By the way, that Miss Joy in Tokiwa City is my sister." ”

Lu Ziming didn't say anything more, but he was surprised in his heart. The genes of the Joy family are so strong that every Miss Joy looks almost identical. Not only that, but they are very similar in personality and even in the tone of their speech, with very few exceptions. I don't know, I think they're clones. Saying...... They're really not cloned, are they?

Throwing those weird thoughts out of his mind, Lu Ziming said goodbye to Miss Joy. His value points are also running out, and he doesn't have much time to spend in the Pokémon World to waste in the Pokémon Center.

"I've got something to do, so I'll go first, goodbye, Miss Joey." Lu Ziming waved his hand at Miss Joy.

"Goodbye." Joey smiled and waved at him as well.

After walking out of the Pokémon Center, Lu Ziming took out the map of the city, and while looking at the map, he walked towards the Nibi Gym.

The Gym is a very important facility in the Pokémon world. If you want to participate in the Pokémon League, you must travel around the world, challenge the Gym, and collect eight badges.

What Lu Ziming has to do now is to challenge the Nibi Gym. However, his purpose is not to collect badges, not to mention that he has no value points, and even if he does, he is reluctant to buy time to participate in the league. He just felt that coming to the Pokémon World without playing a gym felt like something was missing. You can also test your strength casually.

The Nibi Gym was not too far from the Pokémon Center, and it took Lu Ziming less than twenty minutes to reach his destination.

Very coincidentally, when Lu Ziming walked to the Nibi Gym, he met a teenager with Pikachu and an orange-haired girl. And the boy with Pikachu also wears a red and white sports cap.

"Wouldn't it, such a coincidence?" Lu Ziming was a little surprised. He happened to meet the plot of Ash's challenge to the Nibi Gym. And I feel that the live-action version of Ash is much more handsome than the stupid things in the anime, and Xiaoxia is also a lot more beautiful.

In line with the idea of watching a live-action anime and reliving his childhood memories, Lu Ziming generously gave the opportunity to challenge to Ash, saying that he could come back tomorrow.

"Thank you." Xiao Zhi thanked Lu Ziming and said, although he didn't care if he challenged today or tomorrow, but others were kind to him, and he still had to thank him.

"Nothing." Lu Ziming smiled, he was different from Xiao Zhi. He came to the gym just to satisfy his obsessive-compulsive disorder, in fact, it doesn't matter if he fights or not.

Then, the owner of the pavilion, Xiao Gang, asked Ash some questions as usual, and after Xiao Ash finished answering, Xiao Gang released a Pokémon that looked like a stone on the side of the road, but had two small arms.

"Little fist stone?" Ash saw the Pokémon released by Xiao Gang, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The Nibi Gym is a rock-based gym, and Xiao Gang's use of small fist stones, which have both rock and ground properties, is completely unexpected for him.

"Go ahead, Pikachu." Ash sent Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Pickup!" Pikachu let out a cheerful cry and jumped into the battlefield.

Xiao Fist Stone, Pikachu, and seeing that Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang both released Pokémon, Lu Ziming's thoughts on the side were a little wandering.

In the anime, Punch Stone is defeated by Pikachu's electric shock. At that time, Lu Ziming thought it was very strange, how could the special move of the electrical department attack the Pokémon of the ground system? I didn't know until Lu Ziming entered this world. It's true that the ground system is resistant to electric shocks, but that's when you're standing on the ground. And the little fist stone is a strange Pokémon, although it has the attribute of the ground system, it is usually floating in the air!

On the other side, seeing that both sides released their Pokémon, Jiro, as the referee, cleared his throat and said:

"The challenger of this Gym Tournament is Ash from True New Town. The number of Pokémon that can be used is two. Among them, only the challenger is free to change Pokémon. ”

"Game – Begin!"

The referee's voice pulled Lu Ziming's thoughts back, the first battle between Zhiye and Xiaogang, think about it, there is still a little expectation.

"We'll take the first attack, Pikachu, use 100,000 volts!" Ash shouted imposingly.

"Pikachu!" Under Lu Ziming's shocked expression, Pikachu screamed, the rat's body shook, and a terrifying golden electric current emanated from its body, with unparalleled might, rushing towards the small fist stone.

After a crackling sound, the smoke cleared, revealing a large oval-shaped crater with a radius of about ten meters and a depth of about two meters. Lu Ziming was dumbfounded, is there any mistake, is this a novice trainer and a novice Pokémon supposed to be destructive? What made Lu Ziming even more shocked was that after such a powerful attack, Xiao Gang's little fist stone didn't have anything to do at all.

I won't go into detail about the next battle development here, in short, Lu Ziming feels that his Pokémon is a dead word.

After about half an hour, Ash was finally defeated by Xiao Gang's men. Xiao Gang asked Lu Ziming, who was in a trance on the side:

"This challenger, I have time right now, do you want to challenge me right away?"

Lu Ziming: I'll go back and practice for a few years.
