Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Looking around, all I could see were strings of *** and unintelligible angry symbols.

Occasionally, phrases like "King of Trash Cans" and "Disgusting" are interspersed.

Clearly, the style of the museum owner, M. Surge, left an extremely deep and indescribable experience for the challengers.

"Oh, this is my family's dojo."

Xiao Gang also came over to take a look, seemingly more interested in the changes in Nibi Dojo's rating.

Pewter City Gym (Rock-type): Rating 7.7 → 8.9

[A must-visit spot for Flying-type trainers!]

[The most prestigious curator ever!]

The comments section is noticeably more harmonious and positive now.

Uncle Wu, who is known as "unbeatable in three moves" and seems to have recently experienced a resurgence, seems to have generated a wave of positive feedback, causing the previously mediocre Nibi Dojo's rating to rise sharply and reach the top.

Moving our gaze upwards, the two gyms ranked highest, with extremely close scores and almost tied for first place, are Cerulean Gym and Saffron Gym.

Cerulean Gym (Water-based): Rating 9.9

Goldenrod Gym (Psychic-type): Rating 10.0

There's not much to say about the comments section of Cerulean Dojo; the style is highly uniform, mostly consisting of a group of seasoned foodies.

Comments are usually accompanied by keywords such as "beautiful", "worth the price", and "spiritual baptism". Occasionally, comments discussing tactics are quickly drowned out by praise.

Clicking on the detailed comments for "Golden Yellow" reveals that the scrolling messages are almost unanimously praising it.

Sabrina is powerful and beautiful, offering a unique Psychic-type battle experience!

[Highly recommended! A dojo you must challenge at least once in your life!]

[If you don't come, you're not a true Kanto person!]

As you read through them one by one, praise abounds.

But after reading so many, Xiao Zhi vaguely felt that something was off—the enthusiasm of these comments was certainly high, but the wording seemed... a little too uniform?

It's like a template that's been used repeatedly.

"It certainly looks like a classy dojo."

Xiao Gang stroked his chin and concluded.

"Psychic-type gyms are already rare, so the gym owner must be quite remarkable to run one so successfully."

Although he and Xiaoxia could be considered owners of the museum.

However, I don't know much about the other owners.

However, just as Xiao Zhi, out of curiosity, casually swiped up the screen with his finger to browse earlier or less "selected" ordinary comments, something unexpected happened!

A message with a completely different style, each word seemingly squeezed out with all one's might, exuding cold panic, suddenly appeared in the center of the screen without warning:

Anonymous user: [Fake! It's all fake! Don't answer! Don't answer!! Don't reply with **&……&%!]

This comment appeared for only a brief moment.

It didn't even wait for Xiaozhi to show it to the other two.

The screen refreshed automatically, and the message disappeared without a trace.

Almost immediately afterward, the same anonymous user posted a brand new comment, which seamlessly joined the scrolling queue of praise, with content identical to the other positive reviews.

Sabrina is powerful and beautiful, offering a unique Psychic-type battle experience!

"……Um?"

Xiao Zhi blinked, wondering if he had seen wrong.

67. You're really rude!

Ash stared at the Pokédex screen and blinked again.

It has been confirmed that the strange warning message has indeed disappeared.

Only then did he raise his head and look at Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, his face showing obvious confusion.

Did you guys just see that?

He pointed to the screen.

"Just now, suddenly, a strange message appeared saying 'It's all fake, no reply,' and then it disappeared in an instant, replaced by a normal compliment."

I told the two of them.

Both of them felt that something was fishy going on.

Xiaoxia's reaction was particularly intense.

"I knew it!"

Xiaoxia raised her voice slightly, with a hint of indignation that she had expected this.

"First place should belong to our Hua Lan Dojo! 9.9 points is well-deserved!"

"This Goldenrod Gym, 10.0? Perfect? ​​Nothing's that perfect! It's definitely rigged!"

"Calm down, this is just speculation..."

Xiao Gang attempted to analyze the situation rationally.

Although he also felt that something was amiss.

"What are you guessing! The evidence almost came out, didn't it? That deleted comment is the evidence!"

Xiaoxia was full of fighting spirit.

She despises this kind of fraudulent behavior the most.

"The person who issued the warning must know the inside story!"

Her eyes lit up, as if she had found a breakthrough, and her fingers flew across the encyclopedia.

"Yes! Let's go find him!"

"Send him a private message! I want to see how much money he received!"

Xiaoxia spoke with unwavering resolve, her face radiating a determination to uphold justice and defend the honor of Hualan Dojo.

Xiao Zhi was somewhat interested.

"Private message? What can we ask? Will that person even reply?"

"We have to respond, whether we want to or not!"

Xiaoxia had already clicked on the anonymous user's profile picture.

Without hesitation, he then clicked "send message".

Fingers flew across the virtual keyboard:

Hello! I'm the trainer who saw your previous comment!

The truth must be revealed!

Xiaoxia was still organizing her thoughts, trying to figure out how to make her words more persuasive.

"Ding."

The reply came right away.

Unexpectedly fast, so fast that it was almost beyond human reaction speed.

【Who are you? 】

Three words, brief, cold, carrying a mechanical sense of alienation.

Xiaoxia was taken aback, and quickly exchanged a glance with Xiaozhi and Xiaogang.

A quick reply followed.

[I'm just a trainer who stands up for what's right!]

Seeing that your warning has been deleted, I believe what you said is true! What exactly is wrong with the Goldenrod Gym?

send.

The response was much faster this time.

【...】

A series of meaningful ellipses followed.

Did you see it?

Before Xiaoxia could even ponder the meaning behind the ellipses, the next message arrived:

[Give me your address; I have a gift to send you.]

Xiaoxia: "...?"

gift?

Where is this going?

Ash leaned his head even closer.

"This person is quite polite; he gave me a gift after only a few words."

Xiao Gang: "......"

Xiaoxia: "......"

Would this be a normal person's reaction?

Shaking her head to banish those inappropriate thoughts, Xiaoxia patiently replied.

[What gift? I don't want a gift, I want to know the truth!]

She tried her best to make her tone sound sincere and firm.

The message is displayed as "read" at the top of the chat box the moment it is sent.
