He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 3507 The Responsibility of the First Generation Champion!
That night, an open-air party was held on the beach outside Kukui's house.

Not only Xiaozhi who won the championship, the achievements of others are also worth celebrating.

Xiaozhi also invited the four island kings, as well as Marin, Acerola and others. People from the four islands gathered together, and it was quite lively.

"It's a pity that Mr. Royal Masked Man had something to do and left in a hurry!"

Dr. Barnett couldn't help complaining as he held a glass of juice.

"hehe."

Kukui, who was standing next to him, could only laugh dryly.

This time, not only Man Yue showed a squinting expression, Xiaozhi's expression was also synchronized with Man Yue. He pressed his eyes and seemed to want to complain about something.

Moving his eyes downward, Xiaozhi suddenly noticed Dr. Barnett's belly. The outline of the bulge was already visible.

The tight outdoor diving suit that she had always worn has now been replaced with a loose long skirt.

"It's really fast. It feels like the baby is about to be born."

Mao and his companions surrounded Barnett and carefully tried to touch her belly to feel the heartbeat inside.

Dr. Barnett's daily step count is definitely among the top few among his friends. It is estimated that this child will be born in six months instead of ten months.

An idea suddenly popped up in Xiaozhi's mind:
"I wonder if Master Ajin can help the baby to be blessed?"

Touch it, maybe you are born with supernatural powers?
At the banquet, as the winner, many people came to Xiaozhi to clink glasses and say hello, even many of them were strangers.

"What an incredible popularity, the first champion~"

Even Man Yue came to Xiaozhi with a glass of juice and clinked glasses with him, and deliberately emphasized the word "first generation".

"Haha~ Stop making fun of me~"

Xiaozhi smiled casually. He didn't expect such a lively party, but Man Yue seemed to be very involved today.

But he could roughly guess the reason. This should be the last banquet in the Alola region.

He could even see Man Yue raising a glass and greeting everyone one by one. His network of contacts was so wide that he had never even met many of them.

Ding~!

At this time, Kukui also came to Xiaozhi and clinked glasses with him.

"Xiaozhi, you already know about the Royal Masked Man, right?"

Kukui laughed dryly and did not continue to hide his identity.

"Well, no wonder every time I see the Royal Masked Man, I feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity."

Ash nodded, feeling an odd sense of familiarity even when he first came to the Alola region and saw Kukui in person for the first time.

Kukui's face was filled with emotion:
"Back then at the Quartz Conference, you were just a fledgling trainer. But now, even if I give it my all, even with the help of outsiders, I am still no match for you."

"Xiaozhi, you have really become stronger."

Hearing this, Xiaozhi recalled the Quartz Conference of that year, where Professor Kukui, disguised as a royal masked man, defeated three of the three heroes of Pallet Town and sent them flying.

“It feels like a really long time has passed.”

He couldn't help but look at the Pikachu on his shoulder, also with a lot of thoughts in his mind!

The banquet lasted until late at night, and many people from other places simply stayed overnight in the neighboring Haole City.

Xiaozhi naturally lived in Man Yue's house, right next to the banquet.

Early in the morning, he had just gotten up and washed up when there was a knock on the door.

Squeak!

Yawning and opening the door, Xiaozhi found that the visitors were Professor Kukui and the island king Hala. "Alola~! Alola's first champion~!"

The two of them greeted each other cheerfully.

"Dr. Kukui, Mr. Hala. Alola."

Xiaozhi perked up, still confused, and Man Yue, who was having breakfast in the living room, also cast a curious glance over.

"It's like this, Xiaozhi, you are now the champion of our Alola. We are here to inform you about the responsibilities of the champion and some matters related to the Alola League."

Hara said seriously.

As the regional champion, he naturally had his own duties and obligations.

For example, representing the region and showing the strongest fighting power.

When encountering a major regional disaster, we must take action to stop it immediately.

When faced with a challenge from a challenger, stay in the Alola region and accept the challenge.
Xiaozhi's face suddenly turned dark. He didn't think so much after winning the championship.

"Haha, but considering your situation, Xiaozhi, we have omitted all these tedious things for you."

Kukui changed the subject and said with a smile.

There is no major disaster in any region right now, as for the challenger.
"We plan to follow the example of other regions and select four alliance kings to take charge. Only after you defeat these four people will you be eligible to challenge you."

Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. This was a good suggestion.

"So who are these four Heavenly Kings?"

Kukui continued:
"The current candidates are Acerola, Kahili, Marein, and the one in front of you, Mr. Hala."

Xiaozhi: "?"

He thought it was Gladion, or maybe the Royal Masked Man.

How did he suddenly become Mr. Hala?

"Ahem. Actually, we have approached other players who made it to the quarterfinals, but they all declined for their own reasons. We have no choice but to choose one of the island kings to take the last seat."

Hara smiled awkwardly, sounding a bit like he had gotten something out of the blue.

Once this news is announced, some people might say "Royal Masked Man is the MVP, and Hala is the one who won without doing anything."

Xiaozhi nodded. He quite agreed with this decision.

In this way, the Alola Alliance will be officially established.

"But... I may not stay in the Alola region forever."

Xiaozhi showed an apologetic expression, but still planned to talk about it first.

Generally speaking, regional champions have to stay in their region for a long time, which is something he most likely cannot do.

Although the Alola region is pretty good, he has even gotten used to it in the past six months.
But there are still many areas he has never set foot on and new Pokémon he has never seen, so he will not stay here forever.

Is it time to start thinking about a second-generation champion for Alola?
Kukui and Hara smiled at each other, and the former waved his hand:
"We have already taken this into consideration. Anyway, Xiaozhi, you can go wherever you want. The title of Alola Champion will be preserved for you."

The Alola League has just been established, so it doesn't need to be 100% similar to other places.

Four island kings plus four alliance kings, this lineup is already quite luxurious.

Of course, they also value Xiaozhi's powerful strength!

From now on, whenever Xiaozhi goes out to participate in famous competitions, his introduction label will be "a person from Kanto, and the first champion of the Alola region"!
This will definitely be a huge publicity stunt for Alola!

"Of course, if there really is a particularly powerful trainer who wants to challenge the championship, or if there is a disaster that is difficult to solve, I still hope that you can temporarily return to the Alola region."
