Jiang Chuan's 10,000 volts were even bigger and more powerful!

Back home, Jiang Chuan's face was icy cold as he prepared to head straight to the police station to find Miss Officer Jenny.

I just arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center.

"Jiangchuan!"

"Jiangchuan!"

Two urgent calls came through.

Jiang Chuan turned his head and saw Xiaoxia and Huazi running back quickly.

Xiaoxia's pretty face turned bright red with anger, her chest heaved violently, and her little fists were clenched so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

Hanako stood beside her, her face also pale, her gentle eyes now filled with worry and anger.

"Jiang Chuan! Jiang Chuan! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!!!"

As soon as Xiaoxia saw Jiang Chuan, it was as if she had found an outlet. She rushed to him in a few steps, her voice urgent and angry, and trembling slightly.

"That Lt. Surge from the Vermilion Tree Gym! He... he's not even human!"

"He not only goes all out in battles, beating other people's Pokémon to a pulp!"

"He...he also...he also bullies girls! He...he..."

When Xiaoxia got to the crucial point, she felt both ashamed and indignant. As a girl, she found it difficult to utter those specific vulgar words.

But her flushed face and almost fiery eyes said it all.

Jiang Chuan's heart sank.

It seems that Xiaoxia and Hanako have also gotten the truth out of them.

He reached out and gently pulled the emotionally agitated Xia into his arms, while holding Hanako's slightly cool hand with his other hand.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly," Jiang Chuan's voice was calm. "What did you find out?"

Hanako took a deep breath and added for Kasumi, who was so angry she was incoherent: "Following Miss Joey's instructions, we went to contact those girls who were acting strangely."

"At first, they wouldn't say anything, they just cried."

"Later...later Xia persisted and was very sincere, and one of the younger girls finally managed to say it, albeit haltingly..."

Hanako's voice also carried a chill.

"After a fight, Lt. Surge would use the excuse of 'guidance' and 'comfort' to grope female challengers. He would put his arm around their shoulders, touch their waists... and even... go further."

"He would also threaten them with their injured Pokémon, forbidding them from telling anyone. He would say that he was the Gym Leader and that no one in Vermilion City could touch him."

"Those girls were all frightened by this, and they became like that because they were both ashamed and scared."

Xiaoxia nodded vigorously in Jiang Chuan's arms, then looked up, her eyes red with anger: "That's right! He's a scumbag! A disgrace to trainers! I must..."

"I know the answer to that question too," Jiang Chuan interrupted her, gently rubbing her arm.

"What? You found out too?" Xiaoxia and Hanako were both taken aback.

Jiang Chuan nodded, his eyes sharp: "I went to the dojo and saw it with my own eyes."

He briefly described what he witnessed during his infiltration, including Mascherano's molestation and threats against the girl.

"You beast!" Xiaoxia gritted her teeth.

"It really is true..." Hanako covered her mouth, both shocked and frightened. Fortunately, Jiang Chuan didn't have any spirits with him at the time, otherwise, given his personality, he might have rushed up directly.

"I'm on my way to the police station to see Miss Officer Jenny." Jiang Chuan waved the illustrated guide in his hand. "I've recorded the evidence."

"Go! Let's go together!" Xiaoxia shouted immediately, breaking free from Jiang Chuan's embrace and pulling him and Hua Zi away. "We can't let this bastard get away with this for even a second longer!"

Hanako nodded vigorously.

The three immediately turned and walked quickly toward the direction of the Kureha City Police Department.

………………

Inside the police station, Miss Officer Jenny was reviewing documents.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan and the other two's report and seeing the video in the encyclopedia, which, although angled slightly off, clearly showed Ma Xueshi's evil deeds, she slammed the folder shut.

That handsome and righteous face was instantly covered with frost.

"As expected... it's him again!" Officer Jenny's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

"Miss Officer Jenny, you knew about this beforehand?" Jiang Chuan keenly caught her choice of words.

Officer Jenny sighed and rubbed her temples. "Recently, we have indeed received some vague complaints and rumors about misconduct by the Vermilion City Gym Leader. But... firstly, we lack direct evidence, and secondly, Lt. Surge's identity is special."

She explained, "He is the official Gym Leader of Vermilion City, one of the city's representatives, and registered with the League. Without solid evidence and proper procedures, it's difficult for us to take direct coercive measures against him."

"We had previously tried to request access to the dojo's battleground surveillance footage, but Lt. Surge always made excuses such as equipment malfunction, overwriting of footage, and privacy concerns for trainers."

Officer Jenny looked at the image in the Jiangchuan Atlas, her eyes regaining their resolve: "Now it's good. With this direct evidence, we have a breakthrough!"

She looked at Jiang Chuan and the other two, and said solemnly, "Thank you very much for the evidence and clues you provided. Please rest assured that our police will handle this matter seriously."

"However," Officer Jenny changed the subject, her tone becoming serious, "please refrain from any rash actions for the time being, and do not publicize this matter."

"Lt. Surge is, after all, the city's representative gym leader, with a considerable network of connections and influence. To prevent him from resorting to desperate measures or using his connections to get wind of the situation and escape, I need to immediately report to the league and the city government to obtain formal search and arrest warrants."

"Only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong and that this scoundrel is brought to justice!"

Jiang Chuan nodded understandingly: "We understand. Then we'll leave it to Miss Officer Jenny."

Although Xiaoxia wanted to rush to the dojo and beat someone up right now, she knew that Officer Jenny was right, so she could only nod and hold her breath.

Hanako said softly, "Ms. Officer Jenny, if you need our testimony, or if you need testimonies from other victims, we can help you make contact."

Officer Jenny smiled gratefully: "Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything. Thank you again!"

It was completely dark when I left the police station.

………………

That evening, all three of them were still feeling heavy-hearted and resentful.

"Damn it... I can't sleep just thinking that bastard might still be in the dojo!" Xiaoxia sat on the bed, hugging her pillow and sulking.

Hanako poured her a glass of water and gently comforted her, "Officer Jenny has already taken care of it; we should trust the police. Besides, isn't Jiang Chuan supposed to challenge the gym tomorrow?"

At this, Xiaoxia's eyes lit up, and she suddenly looked at Jiang Chuan, who was checking his Poké Balls: "That's right! Jiang Chuan, you have to teach that Lt. Surge a lesson tomorrow! Beat him to a pulp! Get revenge for those girls!"

"Don't worry, I won't let him get away with this."

Jiang Chuan looked at the two women: "You must be tired today, get some rest. We have things to do tomorrow."

Xiaoxia and Huazi nodded.

………………

Silent all night.

The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

Jiang Chuan and his two companions got up early and met up in the dining area of ​​the Pokémon Center.

"Let's split up." Jiang Chuan took a sip of milk and outlined the plan. "Hanako, you're meticulous, gentle, and easy to trust. Go back to the Pokémon Center and see if you can reach out to and comfort more potential victims, encouraging them to come forward and testify. This is crucial for Officer Jenny's follow-up investigation."

Hanako nodded seriously: "Okay, leave it to me."

"Then I'll go with you to the Vermilion Gym. I want to see you beat up that beastly gym leader," Xiaoxia pleaded eagerly.

Jiang Chuan agreed to Xiaoxia's request.

The three then split up and began to act separately.

.........

Nine o'clock in the morning, at the Leaf Dojo.

Jiang Chuan and Xiao Xia entered the somewhat dark dojo.

The gates to the battlefield were wide open, and the lights inside were dim, with only a few spotlights shining in the center of the field, and shadows looming all around.

This environment is clearly not for lighting during the competition; it seems more like it's designed to create an atmosphere that makes it easier to conceal something sordid.

"Hey! Someone's showing up early looking for a beating?"

A flippant male voice rang out.

The first to emerge from the shadows were not Ma Zhishi, but the male and female staff members that Jiang Chuan had met yesterday.

They wore matching dojo uniforms and sported the same unsettling, smirking grin as Lt. Surge.

"Who is it? Coming here so early in the morning to be a 'victim'!" Ma Xueshi's impatient, gruff voice came from backstage, accompanied by heavy footsteps.

He lifted the curtain and came out, still wearing that camouflage vest, his muscles bulging, and his face showing a volatile, sleepy expression.

"Let me see which blind fool is... huh?"

His gaze fell on Jiang Chuan, then caught sight of the spirited Pikachu on his shoulder. He paused for a moment, then burst into exaggerated laughter.

"Hahaha! Who do we have here? Turns out it's a 'Baby Trainer' with a 'Baby Pokémon'!"

He pointed at Pikachu and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"What's wrong, little one? Lost? This isn't a place for playing house!"

The male and female henchmen also joined in the laughter, their eyes filled with mockery.

After laughing enough, Ma Zhishi's gaze fell on Xiaoxia, who was glaring angrily at him, standing next to Jiang Chuan.

Ma Xueshi's eyes lit up immediately, and he whistled.

"Hey ho~ Not bad, Baby Trainer. You're a baby yourself, but your girlfriend is pretty hot!" He licked his lips, and a vulgar curse slipped out: "Oh my~ You three babies are all so 'cute'! You're all making me a little... excited, hahaha!"

Jiang Chuan frowned as he listened to the blatant flirting, feeling a chill and a sense of disgust: Really? Is this bastard bisexual? Are all those who served in the US so "free" in their tastes?

Xiaoxia was disgusted by his gaze and words, and was so angry that she was trembling. She was about to curse back when Jiang Chuan gently pulled her hand, signaling her to calm down.

Ma Zhishi made a few jokes, then suddenly seemed to remember something, his laughter subsided, and his eyes darted suspiciously between Jiang Chuan and Xiaoxia.

The unusual commotion at the battlefield yesterday... and the two of them coming together again today... is it a coincidence?

He temporarily suppressed his more explicit thoughts and decided to proceed with the "normal" process first.

"Forget it, I'm in a 'good' mood today, I won't bother with you guys." Lt. Surge waved his hand, walked to the trainer command seat, and put on that cruel and mocking smile again.

"Come on, baby trainer! According to the rules, the Vermilion City Gym is a 1v1 singles battle, only one match, okay? You really want to bring out this 'baby' Pikachu?"

He pointed at Pikachu and burst into laughter again.

The male and female subordinates next to them also joined in with exaggerated laughter.

"Haha, Gym Leader, maybe they just think Pikachu is 'cute,' enough to make your Raichu swoon!" the female subordinate said in a high-pitched voice.

"Exactly, a baby with a baby!" the male subordinate chimed in.

Jiang Chuan remained calm and composed in the face of the mockery.

He didn't even reply, he just patted Pikachu on the shoulder.

Pikachu understood, lightly jumped off the shoulder, and landed steadily on the battlefield. Its small body stood straight, and its sharp eyes locked onto the opponent.

Pickup!

This attitude says it all.

"Damn it, he's asking for it!" Seeing that Jiang Chuan ignored him and actually sent out Pikachu, Lt. Surge cursed, "Raichu! Come out and teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"

A flash of red light appeared, and the burly Raichu with its thick tail appeared on the field. It looked down at the tiny Pikachu opposite it, flicked its tail disdainfully, and sparks flew.

Jiang Chuan glanced at it.

Elite Raichu.

His Pikachu, after special training and battles, is already at the near-Gym Leader level (LV40)! Not to mention the double boost from the Electric Ball, Pikachu's exclusive artifact!

Superiority level, superior hardware!

Lt. Surge clearly didn't take Pikachu seriously at all; he didn't even bother to give any tactical instructions.

"Raichu! Go all out! Thunderbolt! Let this little mouse know what real electric shock is!"

Raichu charged up, and a violent golden current erupted from its body, forming a thick electric snake that roared as it struck Pikachu! The force was terrifying!

"Pikachu," Jiang Chuan's voice rang out calmly, "We'll use 100,000 volts too."

Pikachu!

Pikachu was already poised to pounce, its little face crackling with electricity!

With the help of the [Electric Ball], the surging electricity within it far surpasses that of its kind, and even surpasses that of many final evolutions!

A more dazzling, more solid, and significantly larger golden lightning bolt than Raichu's lightning struck first, violently colliding with it!

"What is it?" The sinister smile on Lt. Surge's face froze instantly!

The next second, two 100,000-volt jets collided in mid-air!

No stalemate!

Almost instantly upon contact, Raichu's seemingly ferocious Thunderbolt was like a stream encountering a torrent, completely swallowed and crushed by Pikachu's "larger and thicker" golden Thunderbolt with overwhelming force!

The massive bolt of lightning, still brimming with power, slammed into Raichu, who was completely stunned and had no time to react.

"Raichu!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out!

Raichu's massive body was completely engulfed by the lightning, tossed high into the air, and then crashed heavily to the ground like a tattered sack. Its entire body was charred black and emitting blue smoke. The lightning on its tail flickered weakly twice before going out completely.

One strike!

Sold out instantly!

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence in an instant.

Only the burnt smell of an electric shock lingered in the air.

Mascherano stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape and his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, as if he'd seen a ghost. He looked at the yellow electric mouse on the field, which was still standing straight, its tail tip emitting a little smoke.

His two subordinates, a man and a woman, standing next to him were completely petrified.

The female subordinate instinctively covered her mouth, her wide eyes filled with disbelief, and she muttered to herself:

"How...how is this possible? It's even bigger and thicker than the club owner's. How can it be so powerful?"

Everyone was stunned by this revolutionary result.

Jiangchuan's Pikachu, with its overwhelming level and doubled power, easily won with absolute dominance.

As for Lt. Surge, due to his arrogance and contempt, he didn't allow Raichu to use any buff skills or tactics at all.

This powerful 100,000-volt attack directly decided the outcome of the battle.

The silence lasted for several seconds.

Until Jiang Chuan's calm voice rang out:

"Referee, aren't you going to announce the result?"

The female subordinate snapped back to reality, looked at the unconscious Raichu in the arena, then at the expressionless Jiang Chuan and the powerful Pikachu, and announced in a dry, trembling voice:

"Raichu...Raichu has lost its ability to battle...So, the winner is...the challenger's Pikachu..."
