Knights of the Elf World

"Pikachu, we will definitely win!"

"Pikapi!"

Xiaozhi encouraged Pikachu and himself, and Pikachu responded to Xiaozhi with full firepower.

Pi is full now, let’s see how Pi beats that big rat!

But Xichen is not optimistic about Xiaozhi. With the current Xiaozhi and Pikachu, there is a 90% probability that they will lose, and lose miserably. As for the remaining 10%, of course it is the uncertainty on the battlefield. However, Pikachu also has its advantages. I just hope that Xiaozhi can discover this.

After lunch, Xichen and others also came to the Dead Leaf Gym. When they pushed open the door of the Dead Leaf Gym, Ma Zhishi was already standing opposite the venue, and the referee was one of his younger brothers.

"Hahaha, you're finally here, Brother Xichen." Seeing Xichen coming, Ma Zhishi immediately showed an excited look, "Come and fight with me!"

Xichen nodded, and just as he was about to take out the Poké Ball, he was stopped by Xiaozhi.

"Wait, Brother Xichen, I want to challenge him first. I want him to know that Pikachu can defeat Raichu!"

Looking at Xiaozhi's determined eyes, Xichen reluctantly gave way. Although he knew Xiaozhi would lose, he did not remind him. This was something Xiaozhi had to go through. Only by letting this silly boy truly experience defeat could he grow. Just like Xiaoxia said, the two gyms that Xiaozhi challenged before were not won with their own strength. Xichen hoped that Xiaozhi could see his own shortcomings in this gym challenge.

"Tsk, it's not Brother Xichen, but you, the baby?" Seeing that it was not Xichen who wanted to challenge him, his interest was gone all of a sudden. However, based on his status as a gym trainer, Ma Zhishi had no choice even if he was dissatisfied. "Then I have to quickly get rid of you, the baby. Go, Raichu!"

"Now begins the gym challenge between challenger Xiaozhi and the leader of the Vermilion Gym, Zhishi. Each side is limited to one Pokémon, and there is no time limit. When one side's Pokémon loses its combat ability, the other side wins. Now, the battle begins!" After the referee announced the rules, he rang the bell to start the battle.

"Don't underestimate me! Pikachu uses Thunderbolt!" Xiaozhi yelled.

"It seems that Xiaozhi still doesn't understand how to use his advantages." Xichen shook his head in disappointment at Xiaozhi's brainless decision to let Pikachu rush forward.

The Pikachu on the field quickly crashed into the Raichu, but the Raichu was too lazy to move and just took the flash of lightning head-on, but his body did not move at all.

"Pickup?"

"Million Ton Punch Sends It Away!"

Faced with Pikachu's face full of confusion, Raichu just smiled contemptuously, then raised his right hand which was glowing white, and punched Pikachu away, and it fell heavily to the ground.

"Damn it, since we can't get in, then we'll use ranged attacks. Pikachu, use 100,000 volts!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu stood up with difficulty, bursts of electricity emanating from his cheeks, and then a beam of yellow electric light shot out from his body and shot towards the Raichu opposite.

"Hmph, Raichu, show this baby what a real electric shock is. Use Thunder!"

An even thicker bolt of lightning shattered Pikachu's 100,000 volts and hit Pikachu directly. Although they were both electric Pokémon, the strong current still made Pikachu feel pain. After the thunder stopped, Pikachu fell to the ground gasping for breath.

"See? This is a real electric move." Ma Zhishi crossed his arms, very satisfied with the power of Raichu's thunder. "As soon as you catch a Pokémon, you should let it evolve, otherwise it will just be a baby! Just like my Raichu!"

"Oh? So this Raichu has not gone through the Pikachu stage, which means it doesn't have the speed that Pikachu should have." Ma Zhishi's words made Xichen in the audience raise an eyebrow. Even though Raichu is several times larger than Pikachu, the information clearly states that Raichu is faster than Pikachu. However, in order to gain stronger power, Ma Zhishi chose to directly evolve Pikachu into Raichu, which means that Raichu has not experienced the speed of Pikachu. This is the shortcoming of early evolution.

"Even without evolution, we can still beat you. Stand up, Pikachu!" Xiaozhi was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue fighting.

"What's going on? This isn't your original strength, Pikachu!"

"That's right, wake up, Pikachu!"

"Pikachu, this isn't your usual self! Hurry up and show us your power to electrocute us, meow!"

The Meowth trio hiding in the dark were also surprised to see Pikachu being beaten so badly, but they immediately began to cheer for Pikachu. After all, Pikachu was the target they had always insisted on capturing. If he was defeated so easily by others, it would be equivalent to trampling on their dreams.

"Hehe, it's time to end the fun, Raichu, use Thunder again!" But Ma Zhishi had lost his patience. Looking at Pikachu who was still trying to struggle to get up, a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.

The strong electric current hit Pikachu again. Pikachu, who had just stood up, had no time to dodge and was directly knocked unconscious by the electric shock.

"The battle is over, and the winner is the leader of the Withered Leaf Gym, Ma Zhishi." The referee also raised the flag in his hand and announced the end of the game.

"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi ran forward with a distressed look and picked up Pikachu. Xichen was not too surprised that Xiaozhi lost so badly. It was expected. If Xiaozhi had used Pikachu's speed, he might not have lost so badly. He might even have won. But Xiaozhi, this iron-headed kid, insisted on going up and fighting. There was nothing he could do.

"Okay, brother Xichen, it's your turn." Ma Zhishi turned his gaze to Xichen, his eyes under the sunglasses revealing a long-lost fighting spirit, "Don't let me down!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you!" After Xiaozhi left the field, Xichen also walked onto the battlefield, holding a Poké Ball in his hand and looking at Ma Zhishi, "You just fought a battle, don't you want to take a break?"

"Hahahaha, the fight just now can only be considered a warm-up. There is no need to rest at all!" Ma Zhishi laughed.

"That scary guy is on the field, meow. I wonder which Pokémon he will send out, meow!" Meow Meow became interested when he saw Xichen on the field, and the sadness that he had felt because Pikachu was defeated was also relieved.

"It must be the Land Shark, after all, it is their main force." Musashi guessed.

"I think it will be the blue dragon-type Pokémon." Kojiro also expressed his own guess.

"It doesn't matter which one he sends, as long as they can teach that arrogant Ma Zhishi a lesson, meow!"

"That's true!"
