He knows Pokémon better than me.

One day, when Xiaozhi returned home after searching all over the world for his exclusive Z-Crystal, he found that there seemed to be some changes in the cabin today.

"Hmm? Where's the stinky mud?"

Xiaozhi walked up the stairs curiously and looked around.

Normally, before he even set foot on this small beach, Man Yue's Alola Mud would have enthusiastically crawled over to give him a big sticky hug.

Today is quite quiet.

I opened the door and found that the house was also quiet.

There was no light in the house. A letter was lying quietly on the table in the living room, with a key next to it.

He was startled, picked up the letter, and saw familiar handwriting -

"Xiaozhi, I've packed my luggage and everything. I'm not very good at saying goodbye to friends. So, I'm leaving first."

"I will travel with Sister Platinum next. As for where to go, I have not decided yet, but we will find the direction when the time comes."

"Xiaozhi, I have gained a lot in the past two years in the Alola region, especially meeting you. You can come back to live in this house anytime, just think of this place as your home in Alola!"

"I'm quite happy these days with you. I'll come to see you after I find a way to go home."

"Xiaozhi, keep working hard too. I believe you can realize your dream."

"——Full moon."

At the end of the letter, the handwriting paused slightly, as if the writer hesitated for a long time while writing the letter.

Man Yue has said goodbye to her friends one by one, but facing Xiao Zhi
She still chose to say goodbye in a letter.

Picking up the key next to him, Xiaozhi's eyes dimmed slightly and he sighed softly.

“He’s already gone.”

Alola's journey will eventually come to an end.

The house suddenly became deserted, and as night fell, Xiaozhi walked to the beach in front of the cabin, where he could overlook a rocky area in the shallow sea.

On weekdays, Man Yue doesn't like to look at the rough waves, but instead has a special liking for the messy reef scenery here.

Sometimes you can see sun corals napping on the reefs, and then be ambushed by the underwater stars, which suddenly pounce on them and overwhelm them in a thrilling scene.

At this moment, Xiaozhi was sitting on the beach, and Pikachu was leaning quietly in his arms.

Next to him was the sleeping Timber Owl and the Maned Rock Werewolf who was digging a hole on the beach to amuse himself.

"Then I should set off too!"

Everything was ready, and it was time for him to leave the Alola region.

But before leaving the Alola region, there is one more thing to do.

The next night, Xiaozhi went to Kukui's house next door for dinner. The Kukui couple entertained him warmly, like a family of three, and the table was filled with sumptuous dishes.

Kukui already knew about Man Yue's departure. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, he simply smiled and changed the subject:

"By the way, Xiaozhi, Ula'la Island is also being renovated in an orderly manner~"

Future Alola Conferences will be held in Kapu Village, at the southern foot of Mount Lanakila.

The land there is flat and spacious, and there is even a giant abandoned department store next to it, which only needs a simple renovation to be put into use and become a supporting service facility.

However, how to obtain the promise of the wild ghost Pokémon in the supermarket is a small problem. Otherwise, it will be haunted at any time in the future.

It's not a big problem. Acerola has already said that she can act as a mediator and mediate.

Only in the finals of the tournament and the challenge between the king and the champion will the top of Lanakila Mountain be used again. In the future, the top of Lanakila Mountain will become the most magnificent and epic place in Alola!
"Yeah, that sounds good."

Xiaozhi nodded in agreement. The schedule before the League Conference was indeed cumbersome.

It would be too troublesome if you have to go up and down the mountain every time.

Speaking of the alliance conference, the atmosphere at the table became much more relaxed.

The couple warmly entertained Xiaozhi, who clinked glasses with a smile and looked around unconsciously.

The familiar living room, the huge aquarium with two loving fish, and the attic room on the second floor
He has lived here for half a year and is quite familiar with it.

Kukui patted Xiaozhi's shoulder, with a bit of reluctance in his tone:

"Consider this place your home. When you return to Alola, the room on the second floor will always be reserved for you."

The two are equal rivals in Pokémon battles.

But in daily life, rather than being a teacher, they are more like father and son with a closer relationship?
"Thanks, Dr. Kukui."

Xiaozhi nodded, feeling a little warm in his heart.

Then he looked at Barnett's visibly bulging belly. It seemed that the daily steps were indeed effective.

Xiaozhi leaned down and smiled at her belly:

"Then next time we come to the Alola region, I'll be your big brother~"

"Pica~!"

Pikachu even stretched out his little paw and touched it, wondering if there was also a Pokémon egg hidden inside.

Barnett and Kukui smiled at each other, and the warm lights scattered, casting a cozy light and shadow in the house.

After dinner, Xiaozhi and Kukui left the cabin and walked and chatted along the coastline.

It's all about where to go next. However, Xiaozhi himself is not sure about this yet.

"By the way, Doctor, about the power your Blazing Roaring Tiger used in the finals!"

Xiaozhi suddenly spoke in a serious tone, saying:
"Well, I don't know the specific explanation, but you can understand that above the ordinary Pokémon battles, there is a powerful realm that completely transcends ordinary power."

"We call it ultimate power."

"That Evil Leap Crushing Strike you and the Blazing Roaring Tiger unleashed had already reached this level."

Kukui paused, blinked, and tilted his head in confusion.

Although he did cooperate with the Blazing Roaring Tiger at that time, without the surging emotions at that moment, it would probably be difficult to replicate it now.

Even Kukui himself didn't know what was going on.

It's just that there is an invincible thought that "no matter who the opponent is, I can defeat him", and it comes naturally.

He even thought it was just an illusion caused by his excessive excitement.

"The ultimate power? It turns out there is a new realm above the normal Pokémon battles."

It was just a vague thought at first, but after hearing Xiaozhi's firm words, Kukui's eyes gradually changed from confused to solid.

At that time, the power of the Blazing Roaring Tiger seemed to be not an illusion, but real! !

Seeing Kukui's eyes brighten up again, Xiaozhi raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

It seems that the next time I see Kukui and Blazing Roaring Tiger, they will be a truly formidable opponent! (End of this chapter)
