Elf: Release? Not possible.

"I see. Although I've never been there, I heard that the gym trainers at the Tokiwa Gym are very powerful. So far, no one has succeeded in challenging them! It might be a tough battle, Satoshi!"

Listening to what Xiaozhi said, Miss Joy was not surprised, as she knew that a gym had been opened in the city.

And that gym has actually been built for a long time, but it was only opened recently.

"I know, so please help me restore the Pokémon's condition!" Xiaozhi took out the Poké Ball and gave Pikachu and Jigglypuff to Miss Joy.

"Okay, no problem, I'll take good care of them." After hearing this, Miss Joy lent the Poké Ball and Pikachu to them, and they responded enthusiastically.

"Beautiful Miss Joy, please take care of me too! My heart can't stop beating after seeing you."

At this time, Xiaogang's old problem came back again. He had met Miss Joy in every city along the way, but he had not yet met Miss Joy in Tokiwa City!

"Uh..." Miss Joy was stunned when she saw this.

"Alright, alright! Don't disturb Miss Joy. Sorry Miss Joy, you don't have to pay attention to him!"

Seeing this, Xiaoxia looked at Miss Joy apologetically, then pulled Xiaogang's ear and walked away.

Miss Joy smiled awkwardly, then left with Ash's Poké Ball and Pikachu.

The three of them then sat in the cafe in the Pokémon Center for a while. They didn't have to wait too long because the Pokémon were in good condition and had not been injured before.

Just simple care allows the Pokémon to relax and better prepare for battle.

Soon the front desk notified Xiaozhi, and the three of them went to the front desk, took back the Poké Ball, and Pikachu and Jigglypuff also jumped back onto Xiaozhi.

"Thank you Miss Joy!"

"You're welcome. Good luck in the gym challenge!" Miss Joy responded with a smile.

. . . . .

After picking up the Pokémon, the three of them left the Pokémon Center and headed directly towards the Tokiwa Gym.

The most iconic building in the city is not difficult to find. You can find its location by just asking for directions. It is only about 20 minutes away from the Pokémon Center.

Soon the three of them arrived outside the Tokiwa Gym. Xiaozhi knew that this was Team Rocket's gym, but there was no one guarding outside.

Just as he was about to go in, the door of the gym opened and a figure walked out. Xiaozhi paused slightly when he saw the person coming.

The figure who came out was stunned when he saw Xiaozhi, then a smug smile appeared on his face and he walked down the stairs in front of the gym.

"You're so slow, Xiaozhi!" The person who came was none other than Xiaomao.

Xiaozhi was a little surprised to see Xiaomao, and was a little surprised to see that he was safe and sound.

Xiaozhi was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, according to his memory, Xiaomao should have encountered Mewtwo in the Tokiwa Gym. But he did not succeed in the challenge because he met Mewtwo.

But looking at its current state, it seems that it did not encounter Mewtwo, and looking at its proud expression, it seems that it has succeeded in the challenge.

"Did you get the badge?" Xiaozhi asked.

"Of course, I'm a genius. To say that this is the strongest gym in the Kanto region is just average!"

Xiao Mao said this, and opened his hands, gently tossing the badge in his hand that looked like a green leaf.

"Congratulations!" Xiaozhi sounded as calm as usual, ignoring Xiaomao's swelling voice.

"You... forget it, go and challenge him now while he just fought with me!"

Xiao Mao gritted his teeth for a while after listening to this, but soon calmed down and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were both a little dissatisfied after hearing this. Doesn't this mean that Xiaozhi took advantage of the other person who was tired after he had just challenged him to take advantage of him?

"Thank you then!"

Xiaozhi didn't care and walked past Xiaomao. Even if he was tired, it was the Pokémon that was tired, but for the boss of Team Rocket, it could be said that he had endless Pokémon, so there was no such thing as picking up a bargain.

Xiaozhi walked towards the gym, and Xiaoxia and Xiaogang hurriedly followed him. Seeing this, Xiaomao watched Xiaozhi leave.

I had originally planned to leave, but when I saw Xiaozhi walking into the gym, I stopped.

After Xiaozhi got this badge, he got eight badges and was qualified to participate in the league competition. In his heart, Xiaomao actually wanted to see how strong Xiaozhi was now.

After standing there in silence for a moment, Xiao Mao turned around and walked towards the gym again.

On the other side, Xiaozhi didn't know what Xiaomao was thinking. He came to the gym. The door opened automatically and Xiaozhi walked in first.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang immediately followed and entered the gym. They found a passage in front of them. The lights were dim and on both sides of the corridor, there were two people in black uniforms standing guard every few meters.

The entire gym gave people a sense of oppression that was different from other gyms. Xiaoxia and Xiaogang both felt a little uncomfortable.

PS: Because the previous story of Rainbow City was written with the story in Pokémon: Origins, the bottle here is also written according to the story in Origins, which just echoes the previous story. Mewtwo has left long ago, and the purpose of Team Rocket taking the Master Ball is also for Mewtwo. This part in Origins is actually more exciting than in the original series. As for the story of Mewtwo's counterattack, it will be written after the League Conference is over.

"Who are you?"

A man in black standing at the front suddenly spoke, which scared Xiaogang and Xiaoxia. They didn’t know why, but they always felt that the people in this gym were very tough.

"I'm here to challenge the gym!" Xiaozhi was very calm. These people were all dressed the same, but none of them were wearing clothes with the Team Rocket logo.

But Team Rocket's own temperament hasn't changed, so naturally Misty and Shaun will find them scary, but Satoshi has dealt with them so many times that he's not affected at all.

"The gym owner just happened to be out for something!" After hearing Xiaozhi's words, the man in black responded again.

"It's okay, I can wait!"

Xiaozhi ignored her and responded directly, then walked straight ahead.

The man in black was slightly stunned when he saw Xiaozhi walking away so arrogantly. Not only the person who spoke, but also the people standing guard in front looked over.

It was a bit surprising, because previous challengers, if they heard that the owner was not there, would usually either say they would come next time or ask when he would be back.

They had never encountered anyone saying they could wait and then just walking in as if no one was around. This situation made them feel as if they were being looked down upon.

"Hey!! You..." The man in black who was talking to Xiaozhi walked forward and wanted to call Xiaozhi.

"Is there any problem?" Hearing the other party's voice, Xiaozhi became a little impatient and turned half-way to look at him coldly.

"Uh..." The man stood there in a daze, and the hand that was originally reaching out for Xiaozhi's shoulder stopped in the air.

"What are you trying to do with that hand?" Looking at his hand, Xiaozhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and the others around him also felt a dangerous aura.

The man looked at Xiaozhi's eyes, and his hands that were suspended in the air began to tremble unconsciously. How could he have imagined that he would be scared to the point of being breathless by a teenager?

Of course, he didn't know that the boy in front of him had defeated hundreds of Team Rocket members in Rainbow City and was the "culprit" who caused hundreds of members of Rainbow City to be arrested.

"Forget it... forget it! Just wait if you want to! It's up to you!"

After a moment, unable to bear Xiaozhi's dangerous look, he put his hand down and stood back in his original position.

Xiaozhi ignored him and turned around to continue walking inside. The people around him didn't organize themselves anymore and walked straight along the dark passage, and soon reached a room.

There are also two people standing guard on both sides of the entrance to the room. In front is a competition venue with a large black screen on the side.

On the opposite side of the venue, there is a half-person-high platform, on which are placed six Poké Balls, which appear to be the Poké Balls used by gym trainers.

On both sides of the stage, there were two people standing to guard the stage.

"What's going on? The atmosphere of this gym is completely different from the other gyms we've had before." Xiaoxia said a little nervously.

Especially in a place like this where it's always gloomy and there's not much light, it's easy to make people feel panic.

"Yeah! This is the first time I feel this way too!"

Xiaogang, who used to be a gym trainer, felt uncomfortable. His Nibee Gym was also dead in the past because he was the only one there.

However, even though this gym has so many people in it, it still has a lifeless feeling. The people around are obviously human beings, but they seem like robots. It is really weird.

"..."

Xiaozhi didn't say much. He took the Jigglypuff off his head and handed it to Xiaogang. Then he walked straight forward and went to the challenger's position in the front field, waiting quietly without saying a word.

Although it is not clear, Xiao Mao did not meet Mewtwo like in the anime, but he thought it might be caused by what happened in Rainbow City. In any case, he just has to wait.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia looked at each other without saying much. One of them held Togepi while Jigglypuff stood aside.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about fifteen minutes, footsteps were heard in the passage behind him.

"BOSS!" At this time, the two people who had been standing at the entrance like statues finally moved.

A figure walked in with his hands in his pockets. Under the dim light, one could see an evil smile on the man's face.

"I guessed you would come to this place soon, and I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Xiaozhi opened his eyes slightly, and at this time, the person who came also raised his head slightly. Although the light was dim, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang could see the person clearly at this time.

His eyes were full of surprise and disbelief, and his face was filled with panic, and he was speechless for a moment.

The person in front of him was none other than Itsuki, the boss of Team Rocket.

"Why are the people from Team Rocket here?" Misty and Brock couldn't understand why the boss of Team Rocket was in this place. Isn't this the League's gym?

Perhaps because they all came from the same gym, they could never have imagined that this gym was Team Rocket's gym.

"Hmph! I'm Itsuki, the gym trainer of the Tokiwa Gym!" Itsuki seemed to have heard what Misty said, and he sneered and spoke while walking towards Satoshi.

"What?! Then this is..."

Xiaogang was even more surprised after hearing this. He couldn't accept that a guy who occupied someone else's company and used Pokémon for research was actually a gym trainer.

"This is our Team Rocket's hiding place!"

(Mmmm Hello) Banmu walked past Xiaozhi, talking to himself, and then walked to the stage across the venue.

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia listened to Banmu's words and never imagined that this was the base camp of Team Rocket.

The Rocket Team, which was extremely evil and caused the disaster in Rainbow City, was hiding in Viridian City so brazenly and even opened a gym.

At this moment, Banmu stood in front of the platform, reached out from his pocket and picked up a Poké Ball on it.

"Since you're here, you want the green badge?"

"That depends on whether you are a gym trainer or the boss of Team Rocket!" After hearing this, Xiaozhi reached out and pinched the brim of his hat to lower it, and spoke calmly.

"..."

"Is there any difference?" Banmu was silent for a moment after hearing the voice, then he weighed the Poké Ball in his hand and asked.

Chapter 557 Special Treatment (Subscription Request)

"Heh! If you're a gym trainer, I'm here to get the badge. If you're the boss of Team Rocket! I'm here to beat you up on behalf of the Pokémon you've harmed!"

Xiaozhi slowly raised his head with a slight smile on his face and his tone was full of confidence.

Banmu, who was standing in front of the stage with his back to Xiaozhi, was slightly stunned when he heard this. The subordinates around him also reacted from their daze and were a little annoyed, but they didn't dare to do anything since the boss didn't say anything.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Hearing such an arrogant provocation, Banmu didn't seem to be angry at the moment. It seemed that only his laughter could be heard in the huge dojo.

While Banmu was laughing to himself, a figure walked in from the passage. It was Xiaomao who had already challenged the gym.

When Xiao Mao walked in, the laughter paused slightly, but only for a moment before continuing to walk in.

Even though he had already challenged it, he said he was with Satoshi and the others, and the people outside didn't stop him. 443 And how come Xiaomao was the first person to get the badge since the opening of the Tokiwa Gym?

However, when Xiao Mao walked in, he happened to see a laughing figure turning around. He had heard this voice before. It was the person who had accepted his challenge before.

But when the other party turned around, even Xiao Mao showed a surprised expression.

During the previous fight, he did not recognize that the voice was Banmu's, because Banmu had been in the dark during the previous battle.

"Banmu?! Why is he here?" Xiao Mao immediately became alert when he saw Banmu.

"This is Team Rocket's base camp, their gym!" Misty and Brock also walked up to Xiaomao and spoke.

"What!!"

Xiao Mao never expected that the League-certified Tokiwa Gym was actually the base camp of Team Rocket. Looking at Xiaozhi in front of him, he immediately frowned.

However, at this moment, Banmu didn't care about Xiaomao's sudden intrusion. He seemed not to have seen him. He half turned around and looked at Xiaozhi, with an evil smile still on his lips.

"So...what kind of identity do you want me to have?"
