The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

These two, who had only been training at Master Ma's Martial Arts School for a few days longer than Xiao Zhi, were already scheming against each other. They both wanted to defeat the other so that they could become the most prominent person in Master Ma's Martial Arts School and gain the respect and admiration of everyone in the school.

But now that Ash has appeared, it's like a thorn in their side for both of them.

"Ahem...! Although I wasn't really fighting you seriously just now, you're actually pretty good." Clara said, trying to appear calm.

"Ahem... That's right, that's right. You're very talented. After all, you actually made me use 3% of my strength." Saiboli also pretended to be calm.

"However, our martial arts school is really... has a very impressive history. Even the champion Leon has studied here," Clara continued, explaining to Ash.

"With your strength, you probably won't be able to keep going. So, why don't you skip Master Ma's martial arts school over there and just do some sightseeing on the island before heading back?"

Sai Baoli's words were also a clear case of protesting too much.

"So... listen to me! Well then, goodbye! I hope we never see each other again~! Bye-bye!"

"Farewell, you whom I will never see again, Saiboli, teleport!!"

The two left a message for Ash and then disappeared in a flash.

Ash shook his head helplessly, feeling both amused and exasperated.

After wandering around the Yirei Plains, Ash headed straight for Master Ma's martial arts school.

After all, the most common Pokémon found in this field is Galar Slowpoke, along with other Water-type Pokémon that can be found in other regions.

After crossing a bridge, you will see Master Ma's Martial Arts School.

To be fair, this martial arts school is quite beautifully built, and the signboard on the roof features a picture of Xiong's disciple.

As soon as Ash arrived at the entrance of the dojo, he saw Clara and Saiboli chatting with a woman who was wearing a green off-shoulder top, white trousers, green high heels, green earrings and a gold bracelet, green eye makeup, purple nail polish, and had neat brown hair.

"Oh dear~ So the newcomer just went back like that?" the woman asked.

"It seems so~ I really gave him a proper welcome, you know."

"But after he fought someone, he suddenly disappeared," Clara said.

"It seems he went back."

"Although my hospitality was impeccable, he suddenly disappeared after the Pokémon battle." Saibaoli nodded in agreement.

"I was so happy that this big family was finally going to have a new member. What a pity," the woman said with a hint of regret.

Xiao Zhi shook his head again. These two were lying through their teeth, and they really weren't ashamed of themselves.

At the same time, the woman suddenly noticed Xiaozhi walking over, so she stepped forward and asked,

"Ah you are?"

When Clara and Saibao saw that Ash had arrived, they both screamed at the same time!

"Huh...? Oh my!?"

"Hmm...? Oh my goodness!?"

"Huh!? What's she doing here!? What's she doing here!?"

"If this continues, their lie will be exposed!" Clara thought to herself.

Why is he here? Why didn't he leave?!

Could it be that my premonition of the future is wrong?! If this continues, my sweet lie will be exposed. "Saiboli thought to himself.

"You wouldn't happen to be the newcomer to our martial arts school starting today, would you?" the woman asked.

"No, you've mistaken me for someone else," Xiao Zhi said, waving his hand.

But at this moment, seemingly afraid that their lie would be exposed, Clara and Saibao immediately rushed to Ash's side, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke one after the other,

"That's it, really!? This kid! Have you changed your mind?"

Um, but... but! I'm so incredibly happy to see you, Clara!!!

"Yes, yes, yes, that's right! You suddenly disappeared just now, I thought you teleported!"

However, I am truly overjoyed to see you again.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but cast a disdainful glance at the two of them.

“It’s nice to meet you too. I remember your name is…” the woman asked.

"Oh, hello, I'm Ash from Pallet Town, and this is my partner Pikachu."

"Pickup!"

"Yes, yes! It's Ash!"

Hmm? Is that the newcomer's name?

Never mind, my name is Honey Leaf, and I'm the mistress of Master Ma's Martial Arts School.

"Don't be so formal, just call me Master's Wife," Mi Ye said with a smile.

Wow, Ma Shide is really an old man marrying a young woman! A man in his seventies or eighties has married such a young and beautiful wife.

That's what he thought, but on the surface, Xiao Zhi immediately spoke respectfully.

"Hello, Madam."

"Oh, what a good child!"

I think you probably already know them, these two somewhat eccentric kids are Clara and Saiboli.

They're training here because they want to become gym leaders.

Okay, you three should get along well.

"Aha, nice to meet you!" Clara said.

"Well then, please guide me," Saiboli said.

"Oh dear, I really shouldn't have let our guests who came all this way stay outside."

The smell of sweat inside might be a bit strong... but come on in, come on in." Honey Leaf then invited Ash to come in and sit down.

The teacher's wife, who was very warm and welcoming, gave a very pleasant impression.

It's normal to have a strong body odor, after all, this is a martial arts gym. It would be strange if there wasn't any body odor at all.

Seeing Honey Leaf walking ahead, Clara and Saibao immediately leaned close to Ash's ears and said fiercely to each of them,

"If you dare to tell your master's wife about what happened at the post station, I'll melt you into a lump of stinking mud!!"

"That's right. If you dare to tell Madam Shi about our conversation at the post station, be careful, or I'll make you mysteriously disappear!!"

To this, Xiao Zhi simply shrugged, then reached out and patted their shoulders, leaning close to their ears and saying with a smile,

"Alright, I'll wait and see."

These words immediately angered the two men, who stormed into the martial arts school.

Ash smiled and tried to go in, but his attention was drawn to two intriguing auras coming from above.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but look up.

You won’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked.

Two bear disciples were standing on the roof of the martial arts school!
