He knows Pokémon better than me.

"The Ultimate World?!"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. He was just wondering how he was going to get through.

No one knew what Brother Chi and Brother Qinglu were doing over there. He had long wanted to go over and watch!
"Well I was just saying possibilities."

Dr. Barnett hastened to correct.

She just guessed that the Aether Foundation had a connection with the Ultimate World but couldn't guarantee it.

I am the director of the Space Research Institute, and I have some business connections, so it is not convenient for me to ask the other party directly.

But Xiaozhi is Liliae's teacher and is from another place. If he asks directly, he might get unexpected results.

"Okay! I'll definitely go next week!"

Xiaozhi is now very interested in this Ether Paradise.

Kukui beside him also had something important to do, and said with a smile:

"By the way, the Royal Masked Man discussed with me yesterday that the location of the Alliance Conference Arena is one of the peaks of the Lanakila Mountains."

"How about it, Xiaozhi, if you have time, come with me to see the scene?"

Kukui invited.

Xiaozhi has been to alliance conferences in many regions and should be able to provide a lot of useful suggestions.

The site is determined and the design drawings of the venue are finalized.
With today's human technology and the collaborative construction of Pokémon power, the arena can be completed within a few months.

“Built on a mountain peak?!”

Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. This was somewhat different from the sites for the alliance conferences he had seen before.

In the past, the venue with the highest altitude should be the Quartz Conference Arena, which was just built in a plateau area.

"Hey, Kukui, do you know the Royal Masked Man?!"

But Barnett suddenly became excited, and immediately pulled Kukui's sleeve like a girl, asking repeatedly:
"How is it? What does the Royal Masked Man look like? Is he a handsome guy?! How old is he this year? Is he married or single?"

She is a huge fan of the Royal Masked Man!
She watches the Royal Dome live broadcast every week, and if she doesn’t have to work on the weekends, she will even go to the scene to cheer!

Kukui: “.”

For some reason, I felt a little sour in my heart.

"Haha, I don't really know his exact identity. I just saw him a few times before~"

Kukui could only laugh dryly and fool around.

Barnett clasped her hands together, showing a look of longing:
"Hey~! I really want to date a man like the Royal Masked Man~!"

Kukui: “!?”

But after thinking about it, Barnett smiled and added:
"Of course, Kukui, you are also a good person~!"

Kukui: “.”

Suddenly, I have a strange feeling that I am cheating on myself?
After saying goodbye to Kukui and the other boy, Xiaozhi also planned to go home after school.

However, at the school gate, Mao blocked his way.

"Let's go, Mr. Xiaozhi, my brother has prepared a feast~!"

Mao had waited until now with great persistence and invited again.

I must introduce my brother to Xiaozhi today!
"Ah, let's go then."

Xiaozhi was slightly stunned, but when he thought that someone was treating him, he seemed to have no reason to refuse.

So the two of them walked out of the campus side by side, went down the hill, and came to the neighboring town.

When we arrived at the restaurant, Einar Restaurant had already gathered quite a few diners.
However, a space was specially left in the middle for Xiaozhi.

"Oh~! Teacher Xiaozhi, you are here, welcome, welcome~!" After seeing Xiaozhi from afar, Mao's father ran out enthusiastically, rubbing his hands to greet him.

Last time, Xiaozhi helped them solve the Skull Team’s free-dining incident.

Although there were one or two members of the Skeleton Team who continued to cause trouble later on
However, they were all kicked out by Mao's sweet dancer, who kicked their jade feet out.

Under the influence of Xiaozhi, Mao also became a mature and brave trainer!
Next to him stood a tall and handsome young man with long dark green hair.

He was about eighteen years old, wearing a white chef's uniform, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a branch in the corner of his mouth like a lizard king.

"Are you the Satoshi teacher that Mao often mentions~! Alola! My name is Uru, and I'm Mao's brother~!"

Ulu still held the iron spoon in one hand and introduced himself with a smile.

"Alola~!"

Xiaozhi nodded, secretly feeling that the personalities of Mao's family were really similar, they were all warm and kind.

There was tape on Ulu’s face, and it looked like he was injured in some way?

"The food I prepared for you will be ready soon~ Please sit for a while~!"

He then pulled Xiaozhi to sit down and ran to the kitchen to stir-fry.

Not long after he sat down, a plate of rich and creamy lasagna was placed in front of Xiaozhi, garnished with broccoli, and three macarons of different colors were placed on a small plate next to it.

“It has a very Carlos vibe~”

Xiaozhi's comment immediately made Uru feel like he had found a soulmate, and he excitedly sat down next to him:
"Haha, Mr. Xiaozhi is really knowledgeable! These are the dishes I learned when I went to the Kalos region~!"

But what makes Xiaozhi curious is.
The fork gently peeled off the lasagna batter, and there were some small pieces of meat that looked like kunai and shuriken inside?
"Hey, I improved this dish. It's called Cream Ninja Lasagna~!"

Ulu raised his head proudly.

The elements of Ninja and Carlos actually brought back some nostalgia for Xiaozhi.

Mao next to me also had a similar creamy lasagna and was tasting it as well.

"Hmm, the taste doesn't seem strange, does it?"

She didn't taste anything different.

What ninja elements? They are more like gimmicks. They don't match the elegant Carlos at all!

"Mao, this is what you don't understand. I saw real ninjas in the Kalos region!"

Ulu's expression suddenly became excited and generous. The thought of this made his blood boil in his chest.

He was also a very outgoing person, and he didn't care about Xiaozhi's reaction and just started chatting about family matters.

"Two months ago, there seemed to be some kind of disaster in Miare City in the Kalos region, and the restaurant where I was planning to do my internship closed down because of it."

"I was out of town at the time, but I flew over there as soon as I heard the news, hoping to learn the restaurant's cooking skills first."

Speaking of this, Ulu's face darkened, with a lingering fear:

"I was walking alone on a suburban road in Kalos when suddenly the ground shook violently, and then a thick vine suddenly sprang up and tried to wrap around and strangle me!"

Xiaozhi: "."

Uh, the story seems to be continuing?
Mao beside her also became nervous. This was the first time she heard of this matter, so she asked:

"and after?!"

"Then I, your big brother, naturally dodged flexibly! I avoided that attack~!!"

Ulu smiled complacently, but while speaking, he subconsciously touched the tape on his cheek.

In fact, the fact is
He was saved by a passing ninja.

Because he was too panicked, Ulu accidentally fell to the ground and got scratched on his face. (End of this chapter)
