Chapter 47 Giovanni's Rage
"Boss, do we really have to pay?"
"Hmph, what do you think?"
Ma Zhishi glanced at the male subordinates around him coldly: "Keep an eye on those three brats, and when they leave Vermilion City..."
After he finished speaking, he made a gesture of wiping his neck!
"Yes!!!"
The male and female subordinates nodded excitedly in response.
This time, they were stepped on by Ash, and they were also very angry
...
After leaving the Vermilion Gym, Ash and the other two went straight to the police station
"Ash, where are we going?"
"Let Ma Zhishi pay the price!"
"Hey, didn't he admit his mistake and agree to compensate the Pokémon that he seriously injured?"
Ash shook his head and looked at Misty with a puzzled face: "For a guy like him who is so Power Trip to bow his head and apologize so easily, there must be something fishy!"
Ma Zhishi is the Executive of Team Rocket after all. He must have other intentions to bow his head to him so neatly.
Enter the police station
In the office, Ash reported to Officer Jenny
The Pokémon that severely injured Rookie Challenger in Vermilion Gym and the identity of the suspected member of the evil organization Team Rocket.
"Ash, can you take responsibility for what you said?"
Officer Jenny looked at Ash with great solemnity.
"Of course, I think Officer Jenny can also see that there are not many gym trainers like him who like to bully the weak!"
"But this cannot be used as evidence to identify Mr. Ma Zhishi"
To convict someone, let alone the Vermilion Gym Master.
Officer Jenny's tone was extremely cautious.
Hearing this, Ash pointed to the computer in front of her.
As a regular gym recognized by the Alliance, the battle site is equipped with monitoring equipment so that the Alliance can monitor the normal progress of the gym battle.
Officer Jenny, who was awakened by Ash, immediately operated it.
Of course, she knew that the gym had monitoring equipment, but the gym and the police station worked for the Pokémon Alliance, and they would not check the images of the gym battle at ordinary times.
And the Alliance rarely sent people to check.
Officer Jenny retrieved all the recent surveillance videos of the Vermilion Gym, and her eyes swept across several screens.
Her face quickly turned ugly.
In the video, Ma Zhishi played tricks on the Trainers who came to challenge him, and even though he was sure to win the battle, he would still seriously injure the opponent's Trainer's Pokémon.
He often spoke wildly and complained about the Alliance's policies.
If that alone was not enough to punish him.
However, Officer Jenny found through the video that the girl Trainers who challenged the Vermilion Gym in the past month had been harassed by Ma Zhishi.
If Ash had not reacted in time today, Misty would probably have been taken advantage of by that guy.
"Although there is no evidence of his collusion with Team Rocket, the above evidence is enough to charge him with harassing female Trainers!"
After watching the video, Officer Jenny believed Ash's words.
Judging from the pictures taken by the surveillance cameras at the battle site, he had no respect for the Pokémon Alliance.
It seems that there is a quirk for "specific" female groups!
"That's all, I don't think it's enough!"
Ash shook his head, borrowed the phone from Officer Jenny, called Professor Oak who was far away in Pallet Town, and told him about this matter
Professor Oak, as a consultant for the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League, would naturally not let it go of the fact that the Vermilion City gym leader might be a member of Team Rocket.
He assured Ash that the Alliance would definitely get to the bottom of this matter
Soon, Officer Jenny received a call.
After unanimous discussion among the top leaders of the Alliance, it was decided that Officer Jenny would lead the in-depth investigation and research on the Vermilion gym leader Ma Zhishi
Once any clues were found, he would be controlled immediately
With permission from the higher-ups, Jenny quickly took action.
Although she failed to find out the relationship between Ma Zhishi and Team Rocket, she unexpectedly uncovered many crimes he had committed in the Unova Region.
She compiled a timeline with sufficient evidence.
Ma Zhishi, who committed serious crimes including "molesting a girl" and premeditated murder in the Unova Region, escaped with his military status.
After retiring, he came to the Kanto Region to serve as the Vermilion Gym Leader. The process of becoming the Gym Leader was unclear. Jenny wanted to investigate further, but soon encountered resistance from within the Alliance.
After several setbacks, she turned her attention back to Ma Zhishi.
All the bad things he had done in the Unova Region, including when he came to Kanto to serve as the Gym Leader, were revealed.
If you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself.
What's more, Ma Zhishi acted so high-profile!
In the end, he was stripped of his status as the Vermilion Gym Leader and sentenced to decades in prison.
However, during the roundup against him, he easily escaped with several Elite-level main Pokémon in his hands.
Jenny felt that there must be a traitor who tipped off Ma Zhishi before the operation began.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to foresee the future and escape easily.
Ash was quite emotional about this matter.
Professor Oak is indeed a world-renowned Pokémon Professor. Even the Pokémon Alliance has to give him face.
If he had not put pressure on the Alliance, Officer Jenny would have had a hard time punishing Ma Zhishi.
Although Ma Zhishi escaped, the Vermilion Gym, which harbored filth, was temporarily banned.
After all, he is the Rocket Team Executive and has extraordinary strength.
Ash did not expect Officer Jenny to catch him.
Even if he was caught, with the Rocket Team's infiltration and corruption of the Pokémon Alliance, he probably wouldn't be able to be locked up for too long!
This is the best result now!
"Professor Oak's name is still useful. It seems that I have to take some research-worthy photos of the old man for free in the future!"
"Just consider it as a way to bring them closer!"
Ash thought to himself.
...
Because the Vermilion gym was banned, Ma Zhishi fled back to the headquarters
The Vermilion City Rocket Division, without an Executive, had to lie dormant temporarily to avoid being implicated.
Ash's name was also reported to Giovanni
Ma Zhishi wanted to start a revenge against Ash immediately, but Giovanni shook his head and rejected it.
He was just a Rookie Trainer who had just started traveling. The main reason why he could foresight the Rocket Team's deployment in Vermilion City was that Ma Zhishi was incompetent.
As an Executive, he couldn't even handle a little kid!
Considering that the other party came from Pallet Town, he seemed to be highly regarded by Professor Oak.
Giovanni didn't want to cause trouble for this young man.
After all, Niijima's god-making plan was about to succeed.
As long as they can successfully control the powerful Pokémon, Team Rocket will overthrow the Pokémon Alliance and rule the world in no time.
In comparison, these small fights are meaningless.
Although Ma Zhishi had some complaints, he did not dare to question Giovanni's decision.
He could only find another way and ask whether the operation of the Saint Annu should be canceled directly.
This is an operation to snatch passers-by Trainer Pokémon to improve the combat power of the organization members.
If it is not canceled, then he will personally board the Saint Annu and trick Ash and others onto the ship. At that time...
However, it seems that he saw Ma Zhishi's intention and Giovanni decisively terminated the operation.
He was even more disappointed with Ma Zhishi, who was full of violence.
At this time, he was still thinking about personal grudges, and even did not hesitate to hurt the interests of the organization.
If he did not have the strength of the Elite level, he still needed him to contain the Kanto Elite, and he would have thrown him into the river to feed the fish!
