He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Well, the Galar region is really fun."

Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh.

I've heard that it's a place with a strong fighting atmosphere, and they've invented a "characteristic ointment" that can modify characteristics.
I didn't expect that even the experience candy was invented there.

This is a Pokémon battle, how crazy is this?!

"Pickup?"

Pikachu moved quickly and picked up an experience candy and started eating it.

Slightly sweet and chewy, but... it doesn't seem to have any use.

Another one wasted!
"It seems that this gift pack is for young Pokémon to quickly become stronger."

He wasn't really averse to nutritional potions, he hadn't used them before simply because he couldn't afford them.

As for this experience candy, save it for Halloween and give it to children.

He wasn't going to use it anyway.

Xiao Mao shrugged his shoulders at this. He was only responsible for giving out the gifts and it was none of his business how the gifts were used.

From then on, the first Baby Cup officially came to an end.

"Hey, Chris, this seems quite interesting! Let's hold one when we get back to Ruoye Town!"

Offstage, A-Jin had already made up his mind to steal Xiao-Mao's idea on the spot.

Chris nodded, it was a good idea.

"Hey~ You two, before you go back to Wakaba Town, why don't you come to our Hualan City as a guest~! It's a good opportunity to watch our most famous water ballet and relax~!"

Xiaoxia spared no effort in inviting them, determined to bring the two of them back to her hometown.

As the sky gradually darkened, the crowd around the ring gradually dispersed, but there was still enthusiastic discussion about the match everywhere, and it was obvious that Xiaomao's event was very successful.

As the host, after the game, Xiaomao enthusiastically invited Xiaozhi and his group, including Ahong, Abin and others, to his Evergreen Gym and held a small celebration party.

However, during the party, Xiaozhi was suddenly approached by a pink-haired woman.

"Hello~! Mr. Xiaozhi, my name is Clara. I'm also a contestant in the Baby Cup just now!"

Clara was completely outgoing. She came up to Xiaozhi and greeted him warmly with a smile.

"Hello."

Xiaozhi subconsciously stepped back to keep his distance and tilted his head to glance at Xiaomao.

Aren’t all the people invited our own people? This is it?
"Hehe~"

On the other side, Xiao Mao held up the cup and gave Xiao Zhi a calm look.

He heard that Satoshi might be heading to the Galar region next, and Clara is from there, so wouldn't this be a good opportunity for Satoshi to find a local person to learn about the situation in advance~!

"Well, please allow me to formally introduce myself!"

Clara suddenly straightened her expression, as if she had transformed from a "girl idol" into a serious martial artist.

"I'm actually a disciple from Master Ma's dojo! I was assigned by my teacher to come to see Mr. Xiaozhi!"

She originally planned to go directly to Pallet Town, but halfway there she saw that there was such an interesting competition in Evergreen City, so she temporarily postponed her mission.
If I had known this earlier, I should have gone directly to Pallet Town!
But there was also an unexpected gain, I met the target person here in advance.

"Master Ma?"

Xiaozhi was stunned, and couldn't help but remember the old master whose eyebrows drooped like a beard and whose clothes could burst at any time.

He looked at the colorfully dressed idol girl in front of him. She had a completely different style from the plain and simple teacher Ma!

"Hehe, actually I used to be an idol~"

Noticing Xiaozhi's gaze, Clara held her face and blushed a few times.

To be honest, she used to be an underground idol. She held concerts, fan meetings, and even released an album.
However, the debut song "Bewitched by Clara Like a Roadside" only sold 8 CDs in the end, and graduated as soon as it debuted.

The Galar region still values ​​passionate battles more than cute idols.
There was no other choice but for Clara to become a disciple of the former Galar champion, Master Ma, in the dojo opened by him, hoping to use this as a springboard to become a Galar gym trainer and increase her popularity.

Upon hearing that Master Ma had an important task to arrange, Clara was naturally the first to petition. Maybe after returning, she could officially become an apprentice!
"Clara, go to Pallet Town in the Kanto region and look for a trainer named Satoshi. He should be there recently."

"Then give him this letter. Remember, it must be given to him personally."

It’s just a small task to deliver letters, and you can also go on business trips at public expense~!

"Yes, this is the letter that Teacher Ma asked me to give you~"

Clara carefully pulled a letter out of her bag and handed it to Xiaozhi.

She could probably guess that it was probably Teacher Ma who saw Xiaozhi's potential and wanted to take him in as his disciple. If he joined the dojo, she would no longer be the junior sister with the least experience!

"Well, judging by the performance of that Mumu Xiao just now, no wonder Master Ma thinks highly of him."

Clara thought that Owleye was Xiaozhi's limit.

As for Pikachu, in the Galar region, it is just a small shrimp that was swallowed by the Falcon. There is nothing to worry about!
"A letter from Master Ma?"

Xiaozhi took the letter in a daze with a strange expression. What era is this? Does anyone still write letters?
However, the envelope was bulging in my hand, and it was not just a simple page of letter paper.

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang beside him also came over and looked at him curiously.

As a classic first-generation trio, the two were quite unaware of themselves; your letter is my letter.

"Next year, our Galar region will host a new Pokémon World Championship. Among the participants is the strongest champion, Dante. Xiaozhi, you should be very interested, right?"

"Old man, I sincerely invite you to travel to our Galar region and participate in the conference. By the way, I have a small property in the south of the Mechanical City. I will give it to you, Xiaozhi, as your place to stay in the Galar region, right?"

"No one has used that place for a long time, it's a bit old, but if it's Xiaozhi, maybe he can give it new life."

"Anyway, let's meet up and talk in detail after Xiaozhi arrives in the Galar region~!"

Xiaozhi felt confused and didn't quite understand. Was this a free property?
However, Master Ma seems to be very wealthy. When he was in the United World Championships, he also had his own garden and property there.
Under the envelope, there was a long map that was folded several times.

When it was unfolded, it seemed to be a map of the Galar region, running long and narrow from north to south, with all the major towns and attractions specially marked.

Located in the south of Jiqing City, it is specially marked with a purple circle. It looks like a towering lighthouse, surrounded by buildings similar to manors or castles.

Under the map, there is also a red property certificate.

Xiaozhi: "???"

I opened it and saw that the address of the property certificate was written as "Galar Region, Wild Area (South), Lookout Castle". (End of this chapter)
