Elf System: I, the strongest champion of the league

'That guy Bibiniao didn't dare to be distracted when fighting me. Where did you get the courage? 'Flying Mantis sarcastically said. Fortunately, Pikachu reacted in time and avoided the lethal scythe.

""Pikachu said in horror. He knew that Scyther's move was serious. If he hadn't dodged it in time, he might have collapsed to the ground.

‘Sluggish reactions, hesitant movements, and distraction during combat……’Flying Mantis's face gradually turned gloomy,"Guys like you... don't even think about fighting!" '

The Flying Mantis exploded with powerful momentum, and countless sharp air blades were released from the scythes on both arms, constantly approaching Pikachu who hurriedly avoided it.

Cold sweat continued to drip from his forehead, and the fearful Pikachu actually had the idea of giving up at this moment.

(What should I do! This guy really wants to kill me!)

‘Just give up like that? Is your desire for revenge so small? Or... you simply don't have the courage to become a strong man! 'Spy Mantis questioned, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Xiao Chi, who nodded silently. After Spy Mantis understood Xiao Chi's meaning, he let go of his prejudice against Pikachu.

"Brother, is this too harsh?"Xiao Zhi said worriedly. He couldn't bear to see Pikachu being abused like this, even if it was just for training.

"Xiaozhi! Do you think you can defeat your opponent in a Pokémon battle just by shouting a few times? If you and Pikachu continue to maintain such a childish mentality, not to mention becoming Pokémon Masters, not even the Ma Zhishi of the Dead Leaf Gym can be defeated!"

Xiao Chi reprimanded, and the stern tone made Xiao Zhi unable to refute for a while. Xiao Zhi was tough when facing others, but he did not dare to refute even when he was with Xiao Chi and Hanako.

"Xiaozhi……"Xiaoxia looked at Xiaozhi worriedly and murmured

"Xiaoxia, these are things Xiaozhi must experience!"Xiao Gang comforted, but he couldn't bear to see Pikachu hurt by the flying mantis like this.

‘Or don't seek revenge. Wouldn't it be better to be a pet beside your master obediently?' Scyther sneered, 'Fighting is not something that weaklings like you can touch!'

Scyther swung his arms, and two sharp wind blades merged together to form a huge wind blade. The combined wind blades kept approaching the injured Pikachu.

Perhaps it was reluctance, or perhaps it was fear. All kinds of emotions kept hitting Pikachu's heart. Pikachu, who was eager to become stronger, also roared at this moment, releasing a powerful electric current from his body to resist the approaching giant wind blade.

(Has he finally mastered the release of his own electric current?)

Scyther's eyes revealed a hint of relief, and he used high-speed movement to take the attack of the wind blade for Pikachu.

‘Why are you……’Pikachu was incredulous. He couldn't believe that the previously indifferent Scyther would take the initiative to bear the damage of the wind blade for him.

‘snort! Stop being so sentimental! 'Flying Mantis used split tiles to defeat the remaining wind blades, and still looked at Pikachu indifferently, 'It's just carrying out the master's mission!’

"Barely passed!" Xiao Chi said calmly,"But we still need to do staged training!"

Xiao Zhi and Pikachu, who had just been excited for a while, lowered their heads and wilted at the same time after hearing Xiao Chi's words, thinking that the training was over.

The next day

After the special training, Xiaozhi and Pikachu came to the Vermilion Gym in high spirits. Xiao Chi and the other two also accompanied them, intending to witness the excitement of Pikachu defeating Raichu.

As soon as they arrived outside the Vermilion Gym, Xiao Chi and his companions saw several rookie trainers being defeated by two subordinates of Ma Zhishi. Seeing that they couldn't even beat the gate guard, most trainers knew that they couldn't beat Ma Zhishi and left consciously, saving Ma Zhishi from complaining about being forced to participate in the gym challenge every day.

After seeing the arrival of Xiao Chi and his companions, the two subordinates hurried back to the Vermilion Gym and called out their boss Ma Zhishi. Ma Zhishi saw Xiao Chi at first sight and trembled instinctively.

Then Ma Zhishi glanced at Xiaozhi who was confident on the side. After noticing the difference between Xiaozhi and Pikachu, Ma Zhishi also nodded and agreed to Xiaozhi's gym challenge, but Ma Zhishi still didn't think that Pikachu could beat his Raichu!

"Now the gym trainer battle begins. The Pokémon available are one-on-one. The Pokémon used by the gym trainer Ma Zhishi is Raichu, and the Pokémon used by the challenger Ash is Pikachu. There is no time limit. ,Game start!"The referee announced, ringing the bell for the game.

"Go, Pikachu!""Go, Raichu!"

Pikachu rushed forward and started close combat with Raichu. Raichu was planning to hit Pikachu in the face with his tail, but Pikachu avoided it flexibly. Raichu was also stunned for a moment, not understanding how the"little mouse" yesterday became so flexible today.

After seeing that he easily avoided Raichu's attack, Pikachu smiled happily. This was the result of his hard work and efforts yesterday. Thinking of this, Pikachu once again thanked Pippi and Scyther for their help.

"How is it possible, Leiqiu, use Taishan to press the top!"Ma Zhishi ordered. He didn't believe that Pikachu's strength would improve so much, and he rashly ordered Raichu to use Taishan Pressure.

"Pikachu, use high speed movement!"

"What!"

Ma Zhishi looked at the Pikachu moving at high speed on the field in disbelief. His own Raichu looked around in confusion and could not catch the position of Pikachu at all.

"Damn it, if that's the case... Raichu, use one hundred thousand volts to cover the entire field, I don't believe you can't hit!"Ma Zhishi ordered.

After hearing Ma Zhishi's instructions, Leiqiu stood on the spot and accumulated electricity all over his body, and then suddenly released it. The powerful current instantly covered the entire place, and even the glass above the gym was hit. Broken, Ma Zhishi confidently commanded Raichu to stop attacking. In Ma Zhishi's opinion, the weak Pikachu could not withstand Raichu's high-voltage current.

"Pikachu!" Xiaozhi cried out in pain.

""It's over!" Ma Zhishi said confidently.

The smoke from the explosion caused by the electric current dissipated, and something happened that surprised everyone except Xiao Chi. Pikachu stood there unscathed, with its tail inserted into the ground to form a natural lightning rod, directing all the electricity released by Raichu into the ground.

""I see, that's a great idea! Pikachu uses its tail as a grounding wire to conduct electricity into the ground!" Xiaogang praised.

"Pikachu is so awesome……"X3

Team Rocket, who was hiding in the dark and watching secretly, sighed with emotion, strengthening his determination to snatch Pikachu away in the future.

"Now is the time to fight back!" Xiao Chi said calmly.

After hearing Xiao Chi's words, Xiao Zhi immediately commanded Pikachu to launch an attack. Pikachu first used Lightning Flash to knock down Raichu, then twisted his body and used Iron Tail to hit Raichu in the face.

Iron Tail was also learned under Xiao Chi's forced order. Pikachu learned that Iron Tail can promote a variety of attack methods, so that the tail will not become a decoration. Xiao Zhi only learned about the existence of Iron Tail yesterday. Before, Xiao Zhi always thought that Pikachu's tail was just a"decoration.""

"How is that possible? Raichu, hurry up and use 100,000 volts!"Ma Zhishi said anxiously, not wanting to lose to Xiaozhi like this.

Raichu wanted to release the electricity in his body, but he was stunned with a confused look on his face. The 100,000 volts he had released with all his strength before had already exhausted Raichu's power. At this moment, Raichu was gasping for breath but could not release a single bit of electricity.

"Good opportunity, Pikachu, let Raichu see our 100,000 volts!"Xiaozhi shouted excitedly

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu burst out with electricity all over his body, and the power of one hundred thousand volts was injected into Raichu's body. Raichu, who was stunned first, was directly attacked by one hundred thousand volts head on, and he was electrocuted and fell to the ground.

"Raichu has lost the ability to fight, and the winner of this game is Ash Ketchum from Zhenxin Town!"The referee shouted, announcing Xiaozhi's victory.

"Great! Pikachu, we won!"

The excited Xiaozhi hugged Pikachu, and Pikachu was also excited to share the joy of victory with Xiaozhi. This was the result of their hard work yesterday.

(It seems that I evolved Raichu too early...)

The two failures made Ma Zhishi realize the weakness of Raichu. After handing the orange badge to the victorious Xiaozhi, Ma Zhishi decided to temporarily retreat for a week to train Raichu's speed ability.

It's a pity that the challengers who came later suffered. A few challengers could still defeat Raichu by luck with the advantage of speed. After Ma Zhishi's retreat, this naive idea probably won't work.
