Chapter 61

"Salted Fish Teacher's Livestream Defeat!"

Ma Zhishi's booming voice echoed through the metal hall.

With a wave of his hand, he accurately tossed a red and white Poké Ball onto the center of the battlefield.

He then stepped back a few paces and assumed a fighting stance.

Chi Hong was so excited that her blood boiled and her breathing became rapid.

This was the first time he had ever seen a no-rules battle against a gym leader in a game!

"Red, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and release the Poké Ball."

Bai Zhou's voice rang out, startling Chi Hong, who was immersed in excitement, from her reverie.

"I?"

Red was taken aback when he saw White, who had already followed Mt. Surge's movements and finished throwing the ball as well.

"Wasn't this your fight against Lt. Surge?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Vermilion City Gym has special rules; it uses a no-rules battle mode."

Bai Zhou quickly explained:

"Friends who play together online can take on the challenge at the same time, but as the number of players increases, the difficulty of the challenge will also increase."

"Really?! That's amazing, Pokémon!"

Red shouted with delight, immediately controlling Little Red to take out a red and white ball and throw it towards the dot in the center of the field, then quickly ran to Little White and stood next to him.

The two characters stand side by side, facing Ma Xueshi on the high platform.

"No rules + two-player challenge? This gameplay is amazing!"

"Mortal Kombat mode activated! Trainers battling each other is no longer a dream!"

"A moment of silence. I don't know how he managed to win against Crimson Legend and Salty Teacher in a one-on-one fight, let alone in a no-rules match."

Lt. Surge: Oh no, it's coming for me!

As the barrage of comments scrolled by, the battle officially began.

The three of them started moving in unison, heading straight for the Poké Ball in the center of the field.

In a no-rules battle, whoever releases their Pokémon first gains the absolute advantage!

Little Red charged forward headfirst.

Xiao Bai kept a close eye on Ma Zhishi's movements.

Lt. Surge, with its height and long legs, arrived first, its thick arms whistling through the air, and it looked like it was about to touch the Poké Ball first.

"Now!"

Bai Zhou's lips curled up slightly.

He didn't even try to steal the ball. Instead, he controlled White to crouch down and dash forward, his shoulders lowered, and delivered a standard Iron Mountain lean to Mascherano's side as he sprinted at full speed!

grumble!

A dull thud resounded.

Lt. Surge was caught off guard and stumbled from the impact, his arm reaching for the Poké Ball instantly twisting to the side.

"Red! Get the ball!"

Bai Zhou shouted sharply.

Just as Red was about to grab the Poké Ball, Lt. Surge, who had been knocked aside, suddenly swung his Scorpion Tail backward, sending the three Poké Balls flying and scattering them everywhere.

With three identical red and white Poké Balls mixed together, no one can tell which one is their own.

Without any hesitation, Red controlled Little Red to pounce on the nearest Poké Ball.

Ma Zhishi steadied himself and tried to grab the other one, but Bai Zhou controlled Xiao Bai to engage in close combat again, using his body to block his path.

Just as Red grabbed the Poké Ball...

Ma Xueshi, standing on the high platform, suddenly grinned with a strange smile.

He pulled a remote control button from his camouflage pants pocket and pressed it immediately.

sizzle-

A piercing electrical sound instantly filled the entire dojo!

The seemingly decorative, cold metal pillars in the venue suddenly burst forth with dazzling blue-white electric light from their tops!

Thick arcs of electricity leaped and connected wildly between adjacent metal pillars! In an instant, they intertwined to form an electric cage in the center of the field!

And Little Red, controlled by Crimson, is positioned right between the two newly activated metal pillars!

Little Red couldn't react in time and was instantly pierced by the electric current!

The Poké Ball between her fingers rolled to the ground due to the paralysis caused by the electric current.

"I can't move!"

A blood-red scream rang out.

"Lt. Surge: Hahaha! This is my home turf! If you accidentally get an electric shock, you'll be paralyzed!"

While speaking, Ma Zhishi didn't forget to use his strong physique to deliver a vicious elbow strike to Xiao Bai.

Bai Zhou skillfully maneuvered Xiao Bai backwards with a daring slide, barely dodging the vicious attack.

But this gave Lt. Surge an opportunity, and he made a diving tackle that went straight for the Poké Ball on the sidelines.

Catch the ball! Throw it!

A Raichu, crackling with electricity and grinning arrogantly, appeared. With a nimble leap, it landed steadily on Lt. Surge's shoulder.

Lt. Surge: Hahaha! Partner! Looks like victory is mine!!!

At this moment, Red barely managed to break free from the electric current and pick up the Poké Ball.

A flash of red light, and Pikachu leaped onto my shoulder.

In the arena, only the Poké Ball that belonged to Shiro, which had rolled to the side of the field, remained.

"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!"

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by a crimson command beam slashing towards Ma Xueshi, attempting to buy time for Bai Zhou.

Lt. Surge neither dodged nor evaded; Raichu on his shoulder leaped into the air, its tail drawing a powerful arc in the air before swatting away the lightning.

"Lt. Surge: Reichu! Go play with that yellow-skinned rat! I'll take care of this kid!"

Raichu ran towards Red without looking back, while Lt. Surge, cracking his knuckles, walked towards the much thinner White.

"Lt. Surge: Now nobody's bothering us, kid!"

"Teacher Salty Fish!!!"

A red, anxious voice rang out.

If it were just Raichu, it certainly wouldn't stop him from stepping forward to help.

But the constant flashes of electricity in the steel forest forced him to reposition himself, and Raichu kept harassing him from the side.

He had no way of getting close to Xiaobai.

"Oh no! Teacher Salty is going to get a beating!"

"How can Lt. Surge be so shameless? He installed an electric fence in the dojo?!"

"Hahaha, even you've met your match, Mr. Salty Fish!"

"There are no rules! All's fair in war! Master Ma is well aware of this!"

"Teacher Salty Fish's Livestream Defeat!"

The comments section was filled with lamentations, and Crimson was anxious, but only White Boat silently smiled.

"Lt. Surge is right, no one's bothering us now! Haunter, let him taste the power of electricity, Thunder Punch!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of evil eyes suddenly opened in Xiaobai's shadow.

The next moment, a ferocious face slowly rose to the surface, and dazzling golden lightning gathered on the detached claws.

As expected, a punch landed squarely on the waist of the confident Mascherano.

The latter gagged and knelt on the ground.

"Ghost, it seems one punch isn't enough, another..."

Bai Zhou's indifferent voice rang out again, and Ma Zhishi on the ground quickly waved his hand.

"Lt. Surge: I...I surrender! The badge...is yours! Stop it...ugh..."

Lt. Surge shakily shut down the electric grid in the dojo. When Akira came over, he clutched his back and pulled out two orange badges, handing them to the two of them.

"Whitey and Reddy have defeated Gym Leader Lt. Surge!"

"Whitey and Reddy received the Orange Badge from Lt. Surge!"

Ma Zhishi rubbed his back and was about to curse when the dojo door was slammed open.

A sailor rushed in, his face filled with panic.

Sailor: Boss! Something terrible has happened! Our ship has been set on fire and blown up with a huge hole!

"March Strike: What! Everyone in Konoha knows that ship belongs to me! Where's the arsonist? I'll make him regret it!"

Sailor: Thank goodness...we didn't fail in our mission! We've captured him, and he's on board!

Little White and Little Red exchanged a glance, and silently slipped away.

After a brief period of silence, the comments section became active again.

"A shocking plot twist! When did Gastly hide in the shadows? Saltfish teacher is so cunning!"

"Master Ma: Aggressive.JPG → Kneeling and retching.GIF"

"A lightning punch to the kidneys... Teacher Salty knows human weaknesses! Maslow's survival on the spot is a testament to his good constitution!"

Given: The arsonists are Xiaobai and Xiaochi. Question: Will Xiaolü, who is imprisoned on the ship, be able to see tomorrow's sun?

"No!!! My little green one!!!"
