Elf: Release? Not possible.

Ordinary trainers, except for regular Pokémon battles, are not allowed to fight at will, and they are not even allowed to use Pokémon to fight for the purpose of revenge due to personal grudges.

Otherwise, you will be severely punished, and in serious cases, you may even be disqualified as a trainer. Many people who join criminal organizations and are active in the underground world started committing crimes because they were disqualified as trainers.

Gym trainers are not allowed to conflict with ordinary trainers. Not only will their gym trainer qualifications be revoked, they may also face severe punishment from the league, so such a thing is almost impossible to happen.

"Of course I know that, that's what I said, but that guy is so scary!"

As a trainer from the Cerulean Gym, Xiaoxia certainly knows this very well, but Ma Zhishi's size always makes people feel intimidated.

"Then let's go!" After hearing this, Xiaozhi smiled and said no more. He took the lead and walked towards the Pokémon Center. Xiaoxia and Xiaogang quickly followed.

At this time, outside the gym, three sneaky figures emerged from the bushes nearby and watched Xiaozhi and the other two leave.

"I never thought that Pikachu would actually defeat Raichu. This is incredible." And these three people are Team Rocket.

"Only a Pikachu like this is worth snatching." Musashi spoke excitedly after hearing what Kojiro said. Pikachu's strength made it worth their hard work to follow him.

"But, how are we going to deal with such a strong Pikachu, meow?"

"Yeah! That little brat is too difficult to deal with." Kojiro was a little worried after listening to this. He had suffered so many losses at the hands of Pikachu, and Pikachu was getting stronger and stronger and more and more difficult to deal with.

Looking at the battle just now, Pikachu was able to defeat Raichu because of Ash's command. Not only Pikachu, but also Imp seems to be more difficult for them.

"Hmph! As long as you don't give up and keep following them, you will definitely find an opportunity." Musashi was not afraid at all when he heard this.

"That's right, in order to be promoted to a cadre! Come on!!"

Pokémon Center

Xiaozhi also returned to the Pokémon Center and handed Pikachu and Eevee to the care of Miss Joy. Miss Joy was surprised when she saw Xiaozhi bringing Pikachu and Eevee over.

Pikachu and Eevee were not as seriously injured as other trainers' Pokémon. Although they were injured, they were awake and energetic. Miss Joy asked about the situation curiously and found out that Xiaozhi had actually defeated Zhishi.

After being surprised, he congratulated Xiaozhi, then left with Pikachu and Eevee.

What surprised many trainers who had previously challenged the Vermilion Leaf Gym was that their nightmare, the Vermilion Leaf Gym Master, Mashiro, also came when Xiaozhi and the others left for the restaurant.

And he came here to heal the Pokémon, which surprised many trainers, especially those who lost to Mashiro.

Ma Zhishi's coming here means that he was defeated, so he came to treat the Pokémon. Miss Joy was also surprised when she saw Raichu. The injury was not much better than those Pokémon sent by the trainers who were defeated by it before.

The other trainers didn't know who the trainer was who defeated Satoshi, but Miss Joy knew it was Satoshi who did it.

However, Miss Joy did not make any noise. When she saw Ma Zhishi coming, she complained and asked him not to be so harsh on other people's Pokémon.

Although Ma Zhishi is tall and strong, he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly when Miss Joy scolded him, saying that he would pay more attention next time.

Chapter 167: St. Ann (Subscription Request)

"Have you heard? The newly built super-large cruise ship, the St. Ann, is about to start sea trials!"

"I heard about it! But I heard that it is the most luxurious cruise ship in Vermilion City so far. It is said that a special invitation ticket is required, which should be very expensive!"

When you come to a seaside city, taking a boat trip is naturally the most interesting thing. Many people come here to travel, and even traveling trainers don’t want to miss such an opportunity.

"Hehe! You don't know this! Because it's a trial voyage, in order to celebrate the trial voyage of the St. Ann, there will be an event to give out free invitation tickets!"

"What? There is such a good thing? Where is it? I want to see it too!"

"It is said that these are distributed randomly, and you have to be lucky to get one! I just got one!"

Xiaozhi and the others who were eating in the restaurant could not hear the conversation not far away. Xiaoxia also stopped listening to the conversation over there, looking at that place with a little envy.

"A luxury cruise! How wonderful!! Why aren't we that lucky?"

For someone like her who loves water Pokémon, she also loves anything related to water Pokémon, and it has always been a hard walking trip. It's rare that she wants to enjoy it.

But unfortunately, the invitation tickets must be very expensive to purchase. As for the invitation tickets that are distributed, it should be just a gimmick and they will not be distributed in so many.

Xiaozhi was busy eating and didn't pay attention. Saint Annu? If I remember correctly, it seemed to be a trap specially made by Team Rocket to trap trainers who took the opportunity to travel and seize Pokémon.

"Xiaozhi, why don't you say anything?" Seeing that Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were silent, Xiaoxia immediately turned around and said.

"say what.〃?"

"Don't you want to go on a luxury cruise?" Misty felt a little uncomfortable seeing Xiaozhi's indifferent look, because she really wanted to go.

"It's not bad! When it comes to traveling, walking is about the same as taking a cruise ship!"

Xiaozhi didn't care. To be honest, he had just received a large bonus when he caught the Pokémon Hunter. It was actually no problem to take a cruise.

But there is no need to spend money on this. It is a trap in itself. It doesn't matter whether you go or not.

If you don't go, just travel normally. If you go, just treat it as a contact with Team Rocket. After all, you will inevitably deal with Team Rocket in the future. Even if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you.

"Hmph! You really don't understand romance!" Xiaoxia turned her head away angrily after hearing the voice. Xiaogang next to her couldn't help but laugh, as he was used to Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia bickering.

"Maybe you won't feel romantic anymore once you go up there." Xiaozhi said casually, putting down the fork in his hand.

He didn't know whether other cruise ships were romantic or not, but she definitely wouldn't find the St. Ann's romantic. Even the most romantic cruise story in Xiaozhi's memory ended in tragedy.

"How is that possible? On the cruise ship, you can enjoy luxurious food and the sunset sea view. Maybe you will have a beautiful encounter. A lovely girl like me will definitely be approached by many elegant gentlemen."

Xiaoxia clasped her hands in front of her chest and began to imagine herself on a luxury cruise ship.

"Ah!" Xiaozhi and Pikachu couldn't help but spread their hands and shook their heads and sighed.

"What's the meaning of your sighs! Xiaozhi is so annoying. Why is he even like this to Pikachu?" Seeing Xiaozhi and Pikachu's reactions, Xiaoxia said angrily.

"Okay! If you want to go, I have a feeling you'll be able to get an invitation ticket soon!" Seeing this, Xiaozhi stopped teasing her, stood up and walked towards the front desk with Pikachu.

"Huh? What do you mean? Xiaozhi is not planning to buy an invitation ticket because of me?" Hearing this, Xiaoxia was a little confused, but then she put her hands on the table and supported her chin with a shy look, thinking that this must be the case, and secretly thought that this wooden-headed man finally got it.

Alas... you may be disappointed!

However, Xiaogang, who was standing next to him, sighed helplessly and shook his head when he saw Xiaoxia falling into fantasy. Fantasy is destined to be fantasy. Based on his understanding of Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi would not do that.

Xiaozhi went to the front desk, made sure the other Pokémon were fine, then called Misty and Brock, packed up and left.

After leaving the Pokémon Center, we arrived at the pier, Vermilion City Pier, which is the largest pier in the entire Kanto region. There are more than ten cruise ships docked here, and people come and go. The daily passenger flow exceeds six figures, and it does not seem crowded at all.

"｀~Xiaozhi, where is your invitation?" Seeing Xiaozhi coming to the pier, Xiaoxia became even more excited, because if she didn't take the cruise, there would be no need to come to the pier.

"Invitation ticket? I don't have it!" Xiaozhi responded calmly when he heard Xiaoxia's question.

"What? You... didn't you just go to buy an invitation ticket?"

"No! I won't spend money on things like this." Xiaozhi responded seriously.

"Then... then what did you say..." Xiaoxia was immediately choked by Xiaozhi. All her fantasies were shattered. Taking back her previous words, he was still a blockhead.

"Didn't you just say someone was sending it?"

"What? That's just a gimmick. If someone really gives it to me, I will..." Xiaoxia was furious when she heard this. So you just want to try your luck?

Bang bang! ! Even!

There was a sudden noise, and countless colorful ribbons flew over in the air. Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were both scared, and then they saw two "girls" in school uniforms, with dark skin and heavy makeup appeared in front of them.

"Congratulations, you seem to be super lucky people!" Xiaoxia was interrupted before she finished setting the flag.

"What...what?" Xiaoxia looked at the two people in front of her in confusion and asked.

Xiaozhi looked at the two people in front of him and thought to himself that it was these two guys by chance, because he did not want to be defeated by Ma Zhishi in the anime this time, so they did not show up.

He really came here to try his luck, because he knew that even if Musashi and Kojiro were not there, there would definitely be some Team Rocket members from Qiaozhuang distributing invitations.

Xiaozhi recognized the two at a glance. Musashi was okay, but Kojiro was a bit eye-catching, but he was still quite dedicated.

Chapter 168: A Gentleman's Invitation (Subscription Request)

"It's like this, we have an invitation to the St. Ann!"

"That's a super, super luxurious cruise ship, and they invited many trainers to hold a party on board. It's really fun!"

The two of them were talking back and forth in front of Xiaozhi and the other two, and for some reason, it always seemed like they were showing off.

"Do you want it?" At this time, the female student who was working overtime at Musashi handed the invitation ticket in her hand to the three people, and Xiaoxia was stunned.

No way? Someone actually sent me an invitation ticket? I glanced at Xiaozhi secretly. Just as I was about to say that someone sent me one, I jumped off the dock. Fortunately, I didn't finish my words.

"Well... we really want it, but we don't have the money." Xiao Gang said after listening.

Judging from the other person's appearance, he didn't seem to be a cruise ship staff member, which means he might be someone else who got the invitation ticket. I thought to myself that he might be a scalper.

"Really? Talking about money is so vulgar."

"Actually, we want to go too, but we have to go on a date with our boyfriend, so if you like Pokémon queuing, just accept it!"

Musashi looked very disappointed, but he had no choice but to hand the invitation tickets to the three people.

"Thank you very much!" Xiaoxia excitedly accepted the three invitation tickets, unable to hide the smile on her face.

"Then please enjoy yourself!" Seeing the three people accepted the invitation, the two turned around and left without hesitation, disappearing in front of the three people in the blink of an eye.

"This is so lucky." After the two left, Xiaoxia couldn't help feeling happy. She held the invitation ticket tightly in her hand as if she was afraid of losing it.

"You just said, what if someone gives you a gift?" Xiaozhi of course knew it a long time ago and was teasing her on purpose.

"Oh! You are in a good mood, don't worry about these details! Let's find out where the St. Ann is, otherwise the ship will leave when the time is up." Xiaoxia saw this and quickly changed the subject, then walked forward.

Xiaozhi and Xiaogang looked at each other from behind, feeling a little helpless. This is what women are like, women who change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

Following Xiaoxia's footsteps, I searched at the dock and soon found the St. Annus at a crowded dock in the distance.

Looking at this ship, it cannot be described as huge. In the entire dock, no cruise ship can be compared with the St. Anne's size. It is like a steel monster on the sea.

Even Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh that Team Rocket is indeed very wealthy.

"It's really more luxurious than I imagined! I would be willing to travel around the world on it." Arriving in front of the cruise ship and taking out the invitation tickets, the staff politely motioned for the three of them to go on board.

While walking on the road, Xiaoxia spoke excitedly. Unfortunately, this time it was just a trial voyage, so the destination of the St. Ann was another seaside city, Lanpruich.

It is not far from Vermilion Leaf City. Perhaps it is because of cost considerations, after all, so many invitation tickets are issued.

"Welcome to the St. Anne's. I hope you have a pleasant journey. Please come in!"

After walking up the stairs and being warmly welcomed by the staff, the three of them entered the cabin and arrived at the main party hall, which was already packed with people.

Most of them are trainers, with trainers of all kinds of professions. Many of them have released their Pokémon to exchange experiences with other trainers, and some are even setting up stalls to sell souvenirs.

"There are so many people! I'm looking forward to this trip." Looking at the surroundings, Xiaoxia also became excited.

"Great! Come on!"

At this moment, cheering sounds were heard not far away. The three were attracted and looked over there. Many people gathered together. The three looked at each other and walked over there.

After getting closer, I found out from the crowd that it was a battle field. There were two trainers fighting at the moment, including a boy wearing a green T-shirt who looked to be only about ten years old.

On the other side was a gentleman dressed in a suit and a top hat, about 30 years old. The little boy was using the Gem Starfish, while the gentleman was using the Lada.

The three of them squeezed to the front to watch the two people compete, and the battle was already coming to an end.

"Rada, give him the final blow, use the Angry Fang!"

At the gentleman's command, Rada launched an attack, pounced on the gem starfish, opened his teeth, and his huge incisors suddenly flashed red, and then he bit the gem in the middle of the gem starfish.

Crack, crack, bang! !

A shattering sound was heard, and the gem in the center of the Gem Starfish shattered. Rada shook her head and threw the Gem Starfish out directly. Both of them landed at the same time, and the Gem Starfish fell directly to the ground.

"Ah! Gem Starfish!!"

Seeing this scene, the boy hurried forward and hugged his jewel starfish, with a distressed expression on his face, but the gentleman was not moved at all.

"It seems that your Gem Starfish is not strong enough. You should practice harder! Well, is there anyone who wants to challenge my Rada?"

The gentleman ignored the boy and looked around, looking around proudly as he spoke.

"Honey, you are so awesome!" At this time, a woman wearing a purple dress, dressed noble and mature, came over and leaned against him and spoke softly.

"Thank you for the compliment, dear."

The woman's attractive appearance attracted the attention of many men around her.

"Wow... so beautiful!" Xiaogang, needless to say, was also one of those men.

"You really are such a jerk. You do it again!" Xiaoxia was speechless when she saw Xiaogang's infatuated look on his face.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the game was over, Xiaozhi had no intention of staying any longer.
