He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Hello, I'm Xiaozhi."

"Pica~!"

Ash smiled in response and Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder, waving his little paws.

The appearance of Pikachu immediately attracted the attention of the three people.

"Is this the legendary Pikachu from TV?!"

"Even the legendary Pokémon from other places and that monster pink bear were defeated!"

Apparently, all three of them watched Ash's live broadcast of the Alola Finals.

Xiaozhi looked at Professor Oak, who coughed and then explained the whole story to Xiaozhi.

These three just turned ten this year. They are friends who grew up together. They agreed to come to the Oak Research Institute together to receive their initial Pokémon and set out on a journey at the same time.

Although Professor Oak will give Pokémon to newcomers from time to time.
But after all, those were new trainers from other places, and Professor Oak was just following the standard procedure.

But today, he is my fellow townsman and junior, so of course I have to pay more attention to him.

"They know that you've returned recently, Xiaozhi, and they're clamoring for you to distribute new Pokémon to them."

"OK! Leave it to me then!"

Xiaozhi waved his hand and agreed directly. Naturally, the younger generations from the same hometown would be taken care of specially.

I never thought there would be a day when he would give out the three great families to new recruits!
Hearing this, Xiao Qu and the other two looked at each other and became excited.

So Professor Oak led the way in front, Satoshi walked in the middle like a mentor, and the three little ones surrounded him curiously and excitedly.

"Senior Xiaozhi, I also want to challenge the gym and the league conference like you!"

"Then Xiaoqu, from now on we two will be rivals."

The two new boy trainers were full of enthusiasm, and it was obvious that they were trainers eager to fight.

The only girl, Ayumi, doesn't seem to be very interested in Pokémon battles.

"I want to be like Xiaozhi and capture all kinds of Pokémon, even legendary Pokémon!"

Ayumi looked at Magearna beside Satoshi and spoke with envy.

Xiaozhi smiled and replied:

"You can't just throw the ball at wild Pokémon, you have to catch them with one ball~"

"So if you want to capture powerful and rare Pokémon, you must also improve your own Pokémon battle skills."

Hearing this, the two boys also joined in:
"Yes, Ayumi, you are going to challenge the Gym Alliance like us!"

"I heard that the Nibi Gym next door is a rookie gym, and it's the easiest to pass~!"

The relationship between the three of them was quite harmonious, which made Xiaozhi's mouth twitch slightly.

It’s quite different from the time I was there.

After a while, everyone came to an exhibition hall inside the institute.

"Pickup?"

Pikachu looked around and twitched his ears.

It remembered the first time it met Xiaozhi, it seemed to be in this room.

In the center of the room stands a Poké Ball storage platform, on which are arranged four Poké Balls in order, with the outer shells of the Poké Balls also labeled with the symbols of water, fire, grass, and electricity respectively.

Because of the outstanding performance of Ash and Pikachu, the new Pokémon distributed to the Kanto region now are not the Starter Three, but the Starter Four - with the addition of Phantom Pikachu.

However, in the past two years, trainers who chose Pikachu as their initial Pokémon have suffered a lot!

It cannot output anything and is as brittle as paper.

Even its most outstanding speed is only slightly faster than that of an ordinary Pokémon.

Pikachu is really not as good as one on the roadside.

However, due to its popularity, the Pallet Town Research Institute still chose Pikachu as a candidate.

"So, who among you three will choose first?"

Xiaozhi was very familiar with the process, and he couldn't help but get excited when he gave the right to choose to the three people. When he first became a rookie trainer, he was extremely conflicted about which starter Pokémon to choose.

Although I was late in the end, I couldn't choose
The three of them looked at each other, and Xiaoqu, as a passionate young man, took a deep breath and was the first to step forward.

"Senior Xiaozhi, let me go first."

His eyes were fixed, and he reached out to grab the Poké Ball with the "lightning" pattern. It was obvious that he had made the decision long ago.

"The decision is yours, Pikachu!!"

Xiaoqu grabbed Pikachu's Poké Ball in his hand, and Xiaozhi and Pikachu nodded repeatedly.

Boy, good choice!

"Uh"

In the back, Professor Oak and Xiao Jian showed sympathetic looks.

Currently, there seems to be only one trainer who can train Pikachu to be successful, and that is Satoshi. Most of them regretted it later.

boom!
Xiaoqu opened the Poké Ball, a red light fell, and a chubby Pikachu appeared in front of him.

This is Pikachu in the original style. Its body shape is about the same as Rowlet's, and you can't even see its neck.

"Pickup?"

But it has a good temper. Facing the palm extended by Xiaoqu, it rubbed it in a friendly manner and was not shy enough to give electric therapy to everyone.

"Thank you for your guidance, Pikachu. We will be partners from now on~"

Xiaoqu smiled and picked up Pikachu, then followed suit and put it on his shoulder.

"Pica~!"

Xiaozhi's Pikachu just hooked his little hand and greeted him in the tone of a senior.

Hey young man, would you like me to teach you my exclusive Electric Mouse Style secret technique?

"Pickup?"

The Pikachu in the original style blinked and jumped down obediently. It ran to the side with Xiaozhi's Pikachu to receive the inheritance of the ultimate move.

"Well, don't worry about them for now. It's your turn now."

Xiaozhi turned his gaze towards Xiaojin and Ayumi.

The former waved his hand, indicating that Ayumi could choose first, while the latter stared at the Poké Ball, feeling dilemma and unable to make a choice for the time being.

There was no choice, Xiao Jin could only choose first.

"In that case. Charmander!"

Xiao Jin obviously had a plan in mind, and without hesitation, he grabbed the Poké Ball with the fire mark.

boom!
As the red light fell, a healthy young Charmander appeared, with its tail burning with flames, proving that it was in good condition.

"Then please give me your guidance, Charmander~!"

Xiaojin rubbed Charmander's bald head and greeted him with a smile.

Nowadays, information channels are very open, and even people in Kanto know that Charizard can mega evolve, and that there are two rare mega evolution forms.

There are even many experts whose signature Pokémon is Charizard!

How many other masters are there whose signature items are Venusaur and Blastoise?

Then Charizard is definitely the strongest!

“Good choice.”

Xiaozhi nodded, Charmander is indeed very suitable for a combat-type trainer.

However, the evolved Charmeleon and Charizard will become arrogant and may become disobedient.
This is the problem that this type of trainer needs to deal with.

Both of them have made their choices, and finally only Ayumi is left.

"Squirtle or Bulbasaur?"

She is still struggling and in a dilemma. (End of this chapter)
