Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

The young man looked down at the photo.

Look up at Xiao Zhi.

Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me.

Those eyes, that nose... they're a bit... a bit...

Ok?

Um--? !

He looked down at the photo, then looked up at Xiaozhi.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

broken!

This seems to be true!

"Only then can you achieve what?"

Xiao Zhi held his notebook upright, pen tip hovering over the paper, waiting to hear what followed.

Everyone's experience is worth listening to, so that we can continuously improve.

A true master always maintains the mindset of an apprentice.

The young man's face went from red to white, and then from white to green.

Finally, he managed to force a smile that looked even uglier than crying.

"Big......"

"big?"

Xiao Zhi looked up, his face full of confusion.

Big what?

To build big muscles?

Is it a special trick for building big muscles?

"...Big...Big Boss!"

The young man immediately stood at attention.

“I’m not a big shot,” Xiao Zhi said seriously. “By the way, go on. I haven’t finished memorizing the part about scientific exercise yet.”

"How could I possibly dare to stand before you, sir—"

"Ok?"

Xiao Zhi raised his head, his eyes clear.

But for some reason, the young man felt there was something in that gaze that made him dare not disobey.

"Yes!"

The next five minutes.

With a trembling but unusually earnest voice, the young man poured out every single word of his training experience accumulated over the past ten years.

How to warm up, what stretching techniques to use, what breathing rhythm to follow, and how to rest properly...

He imparted all his knowledge, no matter how small.

Xiao Zhi listened and took notes, nodding occasionally and asking about a detail or two now and then.

When the young man finally finished speaking.

Xiao Zhi nodded in satisfaction and closed the notebook.

I admit I've been working in isolation.

After this exchange, I immediately realized that there were many areas for improvement in the exercise plan, which could be optimized by at least 5%!

He looked up and saw several diners who hadn't finished their meals, tiptoeing toward the door.

"Oh, right."

Xiao Zhi said casually.

"Things in Golden City aren't what you think."

Everyone nodded vigorously.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"The boss is right!"

"If you say it's not like that, then it definitely isn't like that!"

"This rumor is absolutely outrageous! We were just chatting casually, just chatting!"

"The matter of the Goldenrod Gym must be a misunderstanding, and the matter of the Celadon Gym must also be a misunderstanding!"

"President Lijia was right to refute the rumors!"

"Yes, Director Lijia is absolutely right!"

The two chatted back and forth, nodding vigorously, afraid that if they were even a step behind, they would be accused of spreading rumors.

Xiao Zhi nodded.

The people here are all very reasonable!

He absolutely loves it here!

Ash sat down and spoke to Brock and Misty.

"Debunking this rumor... isn't that difficult, is it?"

Xiao Gang: "...Hmm."

Xiaoxia: "...Mm."

......

Within minutes, as if by prior arrangement, the surrounding diners all got up and left their seats.

Ash watched their hurried departure, a genuine smile appearing on his face.

He turned his head and said to Xiaogang and Xiaoxia.

"It's so nice. The people here are so polite. They even came over to say goodbye before leaving."

Xiaoxia opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

He opened his mouth again, but still hesitated to speak.

Finally, she took a deep breath and looked at Xiaozhi with an extremely complicated expression.

Is there any possibility, I mean, is there any possibility that...?

She paused.

"Huh?" "Pikachu?"

Ash and Pikachu tilted their heads, waiting for her to continue.

Looking into those two pairs of clear yet foolish eyes.

Xiaoxia swallowed the rest of her sentence.

"......never mind."

She waved her hand dismissively.

"What else would you like to eat? I'll go get some."

Xiao Gang put down his teacup.

"I don't need it, I—"

"I want that one! That one! And that one too!"

Xiao Zhi had already raised his hand, pointing firmly towards the self-service area.

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Pikachu excitedly raised its little paws and joined in ordering.

Xiaoxia: "......"

She was just being polite.

You guys really don't consider yourselves outsiders.

Oh well, I'm used to it.

"Just wait and see."

She waved her hand and resignedly got up.

She walked to the self-service area, obediently picked up the tray, and began to put things in it.

Pikachu wants two pieces.

Xiao Zhi wants more of that.

I had just finished taking the things when I heard a sound behind me.

"Huh? Why is the restaurant so empty today?"

"Roar?"

Then, a dark shadow loomed over us.

Xiaoxia subconsciously turned her head and saw a large Pokémon that had appeared beside her at some point.

Its orange and black fur, its burning stripes, its massive and frightening body—and its menacing, menacing face.

The Pokémon seemed to have noticed the human's gaze beside it.

It turned its head and then bared its teeth.

It gave a very kind smile... at least that's what it thought.
