He knows Pokémon better than me.

Picking up Pikachu and placing him on his shoulder, Xiaozhi stepped onto the land outside the wooden path at the pier. He then officially entered the Alola region.

"Don't call me teacher. Why should I put it? It always feels weird."

Xiaozhi scratched his cheek. Not only Liliae, but this title also sounded a little strange to him.

He is happy to teach, but as soon as you call him teacher, his back starts to sweat!

"puff!"

Seeing that Xiaozhi was as flustered as herself, Liliae relaxed a lot and even covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing.

The two walked out of the pier side by side. Outside was a long coastal road, located on the edge of the island town, slightly higher. On the side close to the town, there were some vendors selling tropical fruits and drinks.

When Xiaozhi and Liliae pass by, he will greet them enthusiastically.

On the other side, walking down the stepped embankment next to it is a vast sandy beach connected to the surging sea water. This is also the direction Xiaozhi came from.

At the end of the distant coastline, you can see a rising conical mountain.

However, there is no hot atmosphere around. It should be a dead volcano, or the shape of a meteorite from outer space?
"This is Melemele Island. It is the largest island in the northwest of the four large islands in the Alola region."

Lilia walked beside him and slowly introduced the island's customs to Xiaozhi:
“This is a resort-style island with a long sandy coastline. There is nothing strange on the island. It is a very suitable place to relax~”

Melemele Island is the most "ordinary" of the four islands. In addition to the largest modern city, Haole City, located in the southwest corner, there are also some small towns and villages scattered around it.

Apart from this, there are basically some shrub and jungle gardens, and the risk factor is not high.

As for the other three large islands, there are volcanoes, deserts, snow-capped mountains, canyons and all kinds of strange and dangerous maps.

"Also, in our Alola region, we have a unique way of greeting each other. Say 'Alola'~!"

Liliae suddenly stopped, and greeted Xiaozhi with a smile, raising her two palms in front of her and spreading them to both sides.

It means roughly the same as "hello" and "kou ni ji wa" outside.

"Ohhhh is that so, Alola~!"

Xiaozhi followed suit, using both his hands and mouth.

Even the Pokémon Rotom and the Eevee on his shoulder were shaking their hands like curious babies and learning.

"Pickup."

As for Pikachu, he had turned into a puddle of mud and fell on Ash's shoulder without even raising his head.

The important task of guarding the next Greninja is so tiring, so I won’t do it today.

Seeing his Eevee, Ash suddenly came to his senses, and as the two walked towards the Pokémon School, Ash couldn't help but ask about the "doctor's advice" that Lillie had mentioned earlier.

"This is the matter."

Hearing this, Liliae's expression tightened and she looked a little conflicted:

"Actually, for some reason when I was a kid, I never dared to touch Pokémon."

Since it was the first time she met Xiaozhi, Liliae didn't want to tell all these things.

"Recently, an experienced doctor cured my problem and told me to try to get in touch with unfamiliar Pokémon more often. So when I saw Eevee just now, I couldn't help myself."

"I see."

Xiaozhi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He seemed to have encountered this situation several times when he was traveling before, and most of them were caused by Pokémon that had given him a huge shock.

However, there is a bond between humans and Pokémon, and eliminating the gap will naturally solve this problem.

Judging from the way Lillie touched her Eevee before, there shouldn't be any problem.

After walking for about ten minutes, Xiaozhi could already see a school.

It is not located in the city, but is some distance away from the city of Haole in the west. It is located in the suburbs.

The outside of the school is not surrounded by steel fences and walls like the schools in the Kanto region. There is only a circle of neatly arranged trees planted on the outermost edge to serve as a demarcation between the school map and the outside world.

"Ding ding~ This is the Pokémon school~!"

Arriving at the school gate, Liliae waved and introduced with a smile.

The full name is Alola Pokémon School, but there is only one school in the Alola region itself, so the prefix Alola can be omitted.

Xiaozhi walked in curiously, stood at the entrance and looked around, everything he saw seemed new to him.

Directly in front of the entrance is a spacious square with red soil, which is a place for students to relax and have fun.

It is not class time now, so you can see a lot of students hanging out and chatting. Almost everyone has a Pokémon with them, and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed.

The children vary in age, but most are between 7 and 12 years old.

On the left is an open pond with clear water. You can see some Pokémon such as Starfish and Pistol Shrimp resting and napping on the shore.

At the back of the right side is a running track facility with extremely slender coconut trees planted on the edge of the track and a lawn similar to a football field in the middle.

Right in front of the campus is the teaching building which is composed of several cylindrical buildings next to each other.

Each of these teaching buildings is not very wide, and is roughly circular in shape, with spiral ramps and stairs on the outside that lead to platforms on the second or third floors.

It has a pointed thatched roof, and even under the scorching sun, you can still feel the cool shade of the grass and trees.

"that is?"

Xiaozhi also noticed that there was a huge tree behind the teaching building that was obviously much taller. It was almost wider than all the teaching buildings combined, and the branches and leaves were dense on top. It was close to the teaching building, as if serving as a support.

"That's where we usually have classes. Each classroom is not big, so each class is small, and there are usually no more than 7 students."

The two walked into the campus side by side, with Liliae still introducing enthusiastically.

"No more than 7 people!"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and this number made him feel relieved.

In Kanto schools, desks are packed so densely that 50 students can sit in one classroom. There are several rows of heads under the podium. Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!

"Also, behind the teaching building are the offices for faculty and staff, such as the principal and teachers, who all work there~"

Lilia pointed to the back of the teaching building again. The building behind could not be seen from the front.

She received a commission from the principal, which was to take Xiaozhi to the faculty office area at the back.

"Oh, let's go!"

After entering this school, Xiaozhi felt that it was pretty good, and even took the initiative to speed up his pace! (End of this chapter)
