"Yo!"

After the water ballet performance, Xiao Yu gently bypassed the staff - for some reason Xiao Yu always felt that the movements of the staff who looked up and yawned or lowered their heads and rubbed their eyes were somewhat exaggerated - and then slipped backstage to find the green-haired paper macchiato who had just changed her clothes and came out of the dressing room. "It's been a long time, Macchiato who almost starved to death in the green field~~"

"Ah, this is not a hundred ......" The A-class special forces member who had just raised his hand and was about to say hello immediately collapsed when he heard Xiao You's words, "...... How long are you trying to tease me with this meme!? ”

"Well...... "Xiao You" smiled, "Let's talk about it for a hundred years." ”

Macchiato covered her face: "Ahhhhh......h

"Well, let's not mention this first." successfully hit the other party's Xiao You, and accepted it when he saw it, and changed the topic back. "Anyway, you, an A-class agent, don't do your job of abducting, cheating, killing, and setting fires, what are you doing here to betray your hue?"

"Don't use strange words to describe my job," said Macchiato helplessly...... "I'm just doing part-time here." ”

"Part-time?" Xiao Yu made an exaggerated sad expression, "Team Rocket's salary is really so meager that you need to sell your hue to make it difficult to survive......"

"Don't use strange words! It's ...... here."

"Good work, Macchiato!" The green-haired girl's words were interrupted by a young man wearing diving goggles coming out of another locker room - the one who had been in the middle of a group of girls with beautiful legs in a previous water ballet performance, and who had managed to attract the envy and hatred of most of the male audience in the audience. "The performance just now is in place, and the audience has a very high evaluation...... By the way, who is this? ”

"Hello! I'm Zhou Fangyou of Zhenxin Town! Because he was worried that someone would accidentally say the name Lily, Xiao Yu preemptively said loudly without waiting for Macchiato to speak, "I'm a friend of Macchiato, and I heard that she performed here when I was traveling as a trainer in the Johto area, so I came to take a look!" What a wonderful show! ”

"Ahaha, if you like it!" Apparently the young man was very much appreciated by such a compliment, and he smiled happily.

“…… Let me introduce you, this is Ryuji, the leader of the water ballet performance, and also the gym trainer of this Ryugu Gym. Macchiato took the opportunity to introduce the identity of the young man to Xiao You, "Xiao You, if you want to challenge the gym, you will also find him." ”

"Little Youjun, right? Please advise. The young man shook Ryuji's hand very warmly, "You are welcome to challenge my Dragon Palace Gym, but my elf has just performed a water ballet and needs a little rest before fighting...... Why don't you take this time and let me show you around this gym? It's not a boast, it's still rare to see a gym built underwater like the Dragon Palace Gym, right? ”

Xiao Yu thought about it for a while, although he was basically watching bikini girls in the previous performances, he remembered that there were indeed a few water elves jumping around...... So he nodded: "Then please." ”

So Xiao You followed the gym trainer Ryuji to visit around the inside of the gym. Along the way, Long Si's mouth kept introducing this and that, but it made Xiao Youlian listen and guess the details of this Dragon Palace Gym......

It turns out that this Ryugu Gym was not an official gym recognized by the alliance less than a month ago, but a private gym established by Ryuji in imitation of the style of the three Hualan sisters (*1) in Kanto Hualan City.

Since it is a private gym, it naturally does not have the right to issue badges to trainers, nor does it have the various subsidies enjoyed by official gyms, and even the application for a building site in the city is not approved...... Ryuji, who had exhausted all his savings to establish the gym, couldn't even afford to hire a referee for the battle, so he could only try to perform water ballet on his own to earn extra money to maintain the gym.

But here's the problem with the stricter zhòng - that's right, it's the promotional poster that Xiao You has seen to attract audiences......

Imagine the state of mind that would have been felt when the audience came with good expectations after watching an ad for a dozen pairs of beautiful legs, and found that the whole performance was full of only one man in a swimsuit who was more conservative than a woman......

What about the beautiful legs!? What about the said good bikini!? Where's the good sister paper!?

Nima was deceived and Ariki Yu!!

As a result, the audience who came to see the performance became smaller and smaller, and if there was less audience, there was no income, and if there was no income, there was no money to maintain the gym equipment, and the equipment was old and the private gym had no badges, so the trainers were even more reluctant to come...... Unquestionably the rhythm of a vicious circle.

However, just when Ryuji himself was about to become disheartened and planned to close the gym and go back to his hometown to fish to pay off the debts of the gym, a young trainer and his friends came to the gym......

After this performance, he closed the door and went back to his hometown to get married...... Well, I mean the fishing mentality, Ryuji bred up and put on a water ballet with his elves in an audience of four. However, both the Trainer Boy and his two companions praised their performances (although one of them seemed to be in a bad mood...... And when he learned that he was still a gym trainer in a private gym, he also took the initiative to request a gym battle!

This is a ray of light in the darkness for Ryuji, who is at a low point in his life.

Although a group of fools who claimed to be from the Phantom Regiment tried to stir up the situation in a strange way, Ryuji still had several exciting battles with the visiting trainers, and the boys and girls all thought that the battle rules of the Ryugu Gym were unique and interesting, and expressed their willingness to promote Ryuji's gym when they went to the Alliance Silver Conference in the future......

But that's not all.

As mentioned earlier, there were only three people in the Trainer and his friends, and there were four spectators watching Ryuji's "last" water ballet performance......

Sitting in the corner silently watching Ryuji's performance was an uncle who didn't look amazing, and this uncle watched Ryuji and the trainer's boys' private gym battle quietly after the performance, and found Ryuji after the trainers left after the battle. It turned out that this uncle turned out to be a rich businessman, and he also admired the uniqueness of Ryuji's performances and battles, and wanted to sponsor Ryuji, so that the Ryugu Gym would truly become the official gym of the Alliance!

It's almost pie-in-the-sky good! Ryuji didn't hesitate at all and agreed!

Then the local tyrant uncle showed the young man the power of money. Funds, equipment, and personnel are in place...... In just a few days, the Ryugu Gym has been renovated inside and out, replaced with the latest and best facilities, and a group of beautiful girls and Ryuji have been specially invited to perform water ballet together to carry forward the characteristics of the gym...... Even a few days ago, the prosecutor of the alliance was invited to authenticate the gym qualification! And the excited Ryuji even played a super level in the test, making the Dragon Palace Gym truly become an official gym recognized by the alliance......

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiaoyoujun, I don't dare to open my eyes every morning these days, for fear that when I open my eyes, I will find that this qiē is my own dream...... I am really grateful to Ash (a young trainer) and Mr. Jinping (Uncle Tyrant), one of them gave me the motivation to stick to my dream, and the other gave me the conditions to realize my dream...... Even now, Miss Sakura, Miss Calamus, and Miss Peony of the Hualan Gym are still my idols, and I will continue to work hard to make the Ryugu Gym one day become a famous gym like the Hualan Gym...... Speaking of which, Ash's companion Xiaoxia seems to be the younger sister of the three Hualan sisters (*2)......"

It is estimated that he has been in a state of excitement for a long time, and at some point, Ryuji changed from walking side by side with Xiao Yu to introducing the gym to walking in front of him and talking to himself incoherently...... However, Xiao Yu was also happy to be ignored, quietly slowed down and distanced himself from Ryuji, and then whispered to Macchiato, who was following behind:

“…… So, this is actually the rhythm of Team Rocket's 'sub-base'? Xiao Yu asked quietly in a volume that could only be heard when he was very close.

"That's right. Team Rocket Ryugu Branch ......" Macchiato nodded and replied in an equally subtle voice. "Mr. Jinping, who invested in the project, is actually the head of the construction department in the Johto area, and the entire gym is a member of Team Rocket, except for the gym trainers, from the referees to the cleaners. Enough space has been dug up underneath the gym, and the real base part has been built above the average......"

"By the way, you're going to keep him in the dark like that?" Xiao You quietly pointed to the young man of Longsi who was still talking excitedly not far in front of him, "If he accidentally finds out that day, do you want to put it in a sack and sink into the sea?" ”

As a result, Macchiato smiled: "Captain You, didn't you notice?" The staff of the gym you see, as well as the performers of the water ballet in the past, as well as the greeters and ticket sellers at the door...... What do they all have in common? ”

Xiao You recalled for a moment, and then a few black lines hung down on his head: "Uh, it seems to be ...... All girls? ”

Macchiato smiled and nodded: "Then the secret passage to the real base, set up in the women's locker room......"

“……”

"So it's definitely not going to be exposed! After that, we can subtly deepen Long Sijun's good impression of Team Rocket, and then we can achieve peaceful evolution......"

“…… Have you ever considered the possibility that that guy is actually a sanctimonious muffled **? ”

"Isn't that easy? directly beat him to the point where he couldn't take care of himself in life. Miss Junsha wouldn't believe the gibberish of a severely concussed **, would she? ”

"Well, you win......"

*1: Angry Kasumi: "It's the Four Sisters!" Four sisters, the soul is faint!! ”

*2: Angry Kasumi: "Mouth!" What kind of trouble is the 'sister of the three sisters'! It's said that it's four sisters!! ”

PS: When I watched Cup War UBW today, I suddenly found out that the voice actors of Assassin Kojiro and Team Rocket Kojiro are both Shinichiro Miki...... Is this actually a Kojiro professional......
