Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"By the way, could you tell me where you bought it?"

He raised his head and looked at Sakaki with sincere, inquisitive eyes.

The air was silent for two seconds.

Sakaki: "?"

Sakaki opened his eyes.

Ok?

It's not surprising that the idiot who recruited those three idiots was the one who recruited them.

Taking a deep breath, Sakaki reluctantly raised his right hand, pinched his brow between his thumb and forefinger, and rubbed it vigorously.

"go out."

"But boss, I haven't—"

"go out!"

Get rid of this idiot.

Sakaki closed his eyes again.

With my index and middle fingers still pressed on my temples, I could feel the blood vessels inside throbbing.

Just as he was about to gather his thoughts, there was another knock on the door.

"Enter."

The man who came in was the head of the intelligence team, a man in his early thirties who was usually quite composed.

But at this moment his face was a little pale, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he was holding a small communicator in his hand, the screen of which was still lit up.

He walked quickly to the table and stood still.

"Boss, the alliance has taken over this matter, and our men dare not get too close."

"However, according to the news that came back, Mewtwo was not obtained by the League, and the Viridian Gym..."

"...has completely disappeared."

Sakaki paused, his hand rubbing his temples.

It's not surprising that Mewtwo ran away, but the gym is gone?

"entire?"

"Yes, the whole thing."

"Not a single bit left?"

"Not a single drop is left."

Sakaki felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Although the cost of building the Taoist temple was not high, it was still his money!

His money!!!

206. One whose heart is filled with thunder, yet whose face remains as calm as a still lake, is worthy of being appointed a general!

After receiving treatment, another group of Officer Jenny emerged from the group; the sky was almost dark by then.

The three walked on the streets of Changqing City.

At this moment, a few lights have already been lit.

In the distance, the flattened ruins were reduced to a blurry outline in the twilight.

Xiao Gang held the thin check in his hand up to his eyes and examined it again and again in the light of the street lamp.

The amount column contained a string of numbers that were not many, but certainly not few.

"How many more times are you going to watch it?"

Seeing this, Xiaoxia, a former rich woman, couldn't help but make a disdainful remark.

"You've been looking at it ever since you left the police station, haven't you had enough yet?"

Xiao Gang did not answer immediately.

Instead, he carefully slipped the check into his pocket, patted it with his finger to make sure it was securely in place, and then sighed contentedly.

"No."

"But to be fair, this Gym Leader Sakaki is so considerate, he's really a good person!"

"Considerate?" Xiaoxia raised an eyebrow. "That Pokémon impersonating him at his gym almost wiped us all out, and you still call him considerate?"

"Isn't that just a misunderstanding?"

Xiao Gang waved his hand.

"Didn't you see that when they came in, they weren't anxious at all about the dojo being destroyed? If it were an ordinary person, they would be furious if their own dojo was smashed up like that."

"Look at Gym Leader Sakaki! He was all concerned about us first, asking where we were hurt, whether we needed a doctor to take a look, and telling us not to be shy..."

"That's just polite talk, isn't it?"

Xiaoxia interrupted him.

She always felt that the curator with the high hairline was a bit strange.

Although I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about him, I just don't get the feeling that he's a good person.

"Then they said they were deeply sorry for what happened, saying it was all their responsibility, that they hadn't done a good job of security, which allowed a Pokémon from who-knows-where to sneak into the gym and even impersonate them."

"Listen to that attitude! That's what a model gym leader should be like!"

Of course, there's also the final step of pulling out banknotes and filling in the numbers without even blinking.

He directly gained Xiao Gang's approval!

Even the interruption that allowed him to admire Officer Jenny's beauty... oh no, I mean, the time he helped Officer Jenny with her political affairs, Xiao Gang forgave him!

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes.

"I have a feeling you've been bought off by that check."

Am I that kind of person?

Xiao Gang retorted righteously and sternly, then touched the location of the check in his pocket.

"I'm just giving an objective evaluation! Don't you agree, Xiaozhi?"

"really."

Hearing this, Ash nodded as he received the badge personally given to him by Giovanni.

Giovanni is indeed a model gym leader.

Upon seeing the three of them, Sakaki's heart suddenly raced and pounded.

But his facial expression remained completely calm, and he spoke normally. Someone who can do this... is definitely a true powerhouse!

It definitely deserves this rating!

Since Xiaozhi had already said so, Xiaoxia didn't dwell on it any longer.

She asked directly.

"So what do we do now? Should we rest for a day and then go back to Pallet Town?"

"No! We're not going back!"

Xiao Zhi clenched his fist.

"I need to really test Giovanni's strength! I've never seen how strong the real Giovanni really is!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu also clenched its fist.

Even mice!

It didn't participate in today's battle at all!

"But...didn't Gym Leader Giovanni say that he's going to be doing gym renovations and can't accept challenges for the time being?"

"It's okay! I can wait!"

Xiao Zhi answered without hesitation.

"Pickup!"

"Didn't we not know how long the repairs would take...?"

"It's okay! I can wait!!"

"Pikachu!!"

"What about Aunt Hanako...?"

"It's okay! I can wait!!!"

"P...Pikachu?"

Pikachu dared not agree this time.

It lowered its noble head directly.

Sorry, little smart beast, the enemy this time was just too powerful.

I can only cheer you on in my heart.

Ash clearly didn't notice his partner's last-minute retreat and was still there, clenching his fist with high spirits.

"Ash, didn't you already get the Viridian Gym badge?"

Xiao Gang asked a question.

It was given to me personally by Giovanni, certified by the dojo, and is genuine.

"This isn't about badges or badges!"
