Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Xiao Zhi's logic forms a perfect closed loop within himself.

"The reason you lost is nothing else."

Xiao Zhi patted Xiao Ming, who was already in a mess.

"It's because your purity is too low!"

41. Sworn Brotherhood in the Forest!

half an hour.

Xiao Ming, whose mind had been blank, finally recovered from that state of logical confusion.

He took a few deep breaths and rubbed his face vigorously.

Knowing his own limitations, he resolutely and quickly rejected Xiaozhi's subsequent enthusiastic offer to "give you some to try."

joke!

He knew exactly what the pangolin was capable of and what its limits were!

If they go down that strong path, they'll probably have to be rushed to a Pokémon Center for emergency treatment on the spot.

But faced with Xiao Zhi's heartfelt sincerity, Xiao Ming couldn't very well refuse him outright.

Well, after all, he's a ruthless person who can recite that formula without batting an eye.

If he gets carried away and forces me to drink it by pressing down on my neck, I probably wouldn't be able to resist with my small frame.

To change the subject that was giving him the creeps.

Xiao Ming cleared his throat, shifting his attention away from the battle.

"By the way, Ash... which city are you planning to go to next?"

As a philosophical question of equal weight to "where do we come from?"

Its power is equally astonishing wherever it goes.

Upon hearing this, Ash paused in taking out the pills.

He then turned to look at Pikachu on his shoulder, the bright yellow little guy looking up at him.

"Of course, it's Konoha City."

"Pickup!"

Pikachu nodded.

I heard that the dojo there has a Raichu!

"Kuroba City, huh? I've been there a few times."

Xiao Ming crossed his arms and resumed his usual tone.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi immediately pressed for an answer.

"Is the owner of that guild strong?"

"Is it strong or not...?"

Xiao Ming frowned and tried hard to recall how many times he had passed through Kuye City.

However, they pay less attention to the distribution of local supplement stores than to the dojos.

"As for the gym challenge... with your strength, it shouldn't be a problem."

He carefully considered his words.

"The Vermilion City Gym Leader, the Electric-type Gym Leader... what was his name again? I think he was a pretty famous model, something like Little...?"

"Little Chrysanthemum".

A calm voice came from the side.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang immediately joined the group chat.

"She is the Electric Gym Leader of Raven City in the Unova region."

He added, his expression calm.

He didn't usually pay much attention to the owners of small-scale art galleries, but unfortunately, Feng Lu's photos were in his treasured albums, and after looking at them a few times, he naturally got a bit of an impression of her.

"Oh, it's from Unova..."

Xiao Ming felt a little embarrassed, but then another name came to mind.

"That's the streamer...!"

"That's a strange tree."

Xiao Gang subconsciously denied it again.

"He is the Electric Gym Leader of Niangguang City in the Padia region."

Yes, he remembers that clearly too.

Because A-Feng from the Round Model Gym and Lip from the Bakegu Gym often appear on the same page as Qi-Shu.

"No, not really..."

Xiao Ming scratched his head, feeling that the list of regional pavilion owners in his mind was a bit contradictory.

"Then...that's the one who's really close to the Heavenly King? Is he the Heavenly King's good brother? No...it doesn't seem like it."

He muttered to himself, then changed his approach again.

"Is that the guy who does scientific research? The one with glasses?"

"...Well, anyway, the gym leader in Vermilion City seems to be just an ordinary Electric-type gym leader without any particularly outstanding characteristics."

He couldn't remember the name at all, so he simply gave up trying to recall it.

"It's not particularly special..."

Ash and Pikachu were somewhat disappointed.

After answering Xiaozhi, Xiaoming turned to look at Xiaogang, who had just made two accurate corrections.

Xiao Gang remained very calm throughout.

His knowledge base is also far broader than that of a typical novice trainer's companion.

"By the way, this looks familiar."

Xiao Ming looked Xiao Gang up and down, especially noticing his unique gaze.

A vague impression surfaced in my mind.

"and many more……"

He seemed to have thought of something, took out his Pokédex, quickly manipulated it a few times, brought up a trainer forum page he frequented, swiped his finger across it, then looked up to carefully compare Brock's face, and then looked down at the screen.

"You..." Xiaoming's voice carried a hint of uncertain surprise, "What is your relationship with Mr. Wu Neng from Nibi Dojo...?"

Xiao Gang didn't seem surprised by the question; he simply nodded slightly and answered calmly.

That's my father.

"really!"

Xiao Ming slapped his thigh, his expression instantly changing from confusion to a mixture of excitement and realization.

"Rock and ground are inseparable!"

"I have the utmost admiration for Mr. Wu Neng!"

"My planned travel route includes a visit to the Pewter Dojo as my first stop!"

He suddenly moved closer to Xiaogang, his attitude becoming much more enthusiastic.

"No wonder you know so much about the museum owners in different regions! You must have a family background in scholarship!"

Xiao Gang waved his hand modestly.

"Not at all, it's all thanks to my own habit of reading and memorizing more in my daily life."

"Too modest!"

Xiao Ming shook his head repeatedly, then, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up and his tone was full of curiosity.

"By the way! I've always wondered, how exactly did Mr. Wu Neng manage to do that?"

"It's one thing to fight Lance, since Rock has an advantage over Flying in terms of type. But how did he manage to withstand three moves against Steven and Patia, the Steel-type Elite Four member, despite such a significant type disadvantage?"

"When did this uncle start going up against the king of the Parthian region again?"

Xiao Zhi, who was standing to the side, blinked as he listened.

"He didn't mention this at the Pewter Gym last time, did he?"

Xiao Gang also looked completely bewildered.

Putting everything else aside, he only knew about his father's achievements from Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia.

"You don't know?"

Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang in surprise.

He then quickly resumed working on his encyclopedia, his fingers flying across the screen.

"Although Mr. Wu Neng himself is low-key, three people have recently revealed a lot of shocking information... Look at this!"

He turned the Pokédex screen towards Ash and Brock.

In a highly popular forum post, the title was "Deep Dive into the Rock-type Gym Leader - Wu Neng's Achievements in Pewter City!"

Below the post, there was a lot of analysis, discussion, and amazement.

Three users, eager for a good spectacle, tagged the champions and well-known figures from various regions in the battle records.

What's noteworthy is that several prominent figures actually left comments or likes below the list of people who were tagged.

Aside from leaving a simple "..." which seemed to have a deeper meaning.

The account of Poppi, the officially recognized Steel-type Elite Four member of the Pardia region, is also prominently listed.
