He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Ah!? I lost?!"

Tajima looked at Nut Dumbbell who had suddenly been defeated in disbelief.

When he encounters an opponent who cannot restrain himself, his nut dumbbell can sometimes torture even one or two thousand opponents!

He quickly took out his cell phone to check his ranking.

It dropped directly from 3888th place to 5888th place. This is the risk of competing against lower-ranked players. Once defeated, the ranking will drop sharply.

"I won! You're really good at this!"

On the other side, Xiaozhi stepped forward and held up Meltan in celebration. This little guy really gave him a big surprise!
"Meilu, Meilu~!"

Meltan raised his little hand, formed a nut fist and shouted.

Add chicken legs tonight, the Steelix kind!

Xiaozhi took out the Tri-Fold Rotom again, curious about his new ranking.

After defeating his opponent ranked 3888th, his ranking also broke through from five digits to 6666th at once.

"Not bad~!"

Xiaozhi was delighted and thought that he would be able to reach the super ball level after a few more games.

After two games, he probably had some idea of ​​what a Poké Ball-level opponent was.
Most of them are players with 1 to 8 badges, and their numbers fluctuate.

However, for the top 3000, their strength should be higher.

"That Pokémon."

The gym owner, Yaluo, who was watching the whole process from the side, focused all his attention on Meltan.

It looks like just a baby, but it has extraordinary potential and is obviously not an ordinary Pokémon.
After the battle, Xiaozhi and Tajima exchanged alliance cards. The latter also understood Xiaozhi's strength. No wonder he was able to catch the criminal that they had been unable to catch for several days. He was indeed quite good.

The hostility I had towards Xiaozhi before also disappeared. Now I just wanted to go back and train my Knocking Monkey well to get back the ranking that I had dropped.

Seeing Yaluo coming, Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask curiously:
"By the way, Mr. Yaluo, I want to tame a Galar's Sakurai. Is there a place where I can get one? Or, where can I find one in the wild?"

The locals should know better.

"The three great families of Galar?"

Yaluo answered truthfully:
"It may be a little difficult to get it. The training of the three major families in Galar is firmly in the hands of the Marrokomon Group, and then it is distributed to newcomers by a special organization."

All appointments need to be made in advance, and the review process for newcomers is also very standardized.

Unlike other regions, if you have a good relationship with a Pokémon professor, he may give you a starter Pokémon when you visit him.

"But it's much easier to get the other three great families from other places."

Yaluo cited the example of Dandi's strongest trump card Charizard. The latter received a Charmander at the beginning, and the collection in this regard was much more relaxed.

As for the wild Big Three Pokémon in the Galar region, it's purely a matter of luck, which is basically non-existent.

"There are usually none in the wild. But if you're lucky, you might find a Gigantamaxed Pokémon in a Pokémon den."

The Pokémon Nests in the wilderness are natural monster spawning spots. Whether it's the Starter Three Pokémon or the even rarer Quasi-Gods, you may encounter all of them, except for the Legendary Pokémon.

"I see."

Xiaozhi showed a look of regret, it seemed that he would not be able to obtain the three starting Pokémons of Galar for the time being.

"But speaking of Pokémon Doctor, you can go see Doctor Mulan. Maybe she can help."

Yaluo suddenly pointed at the Meltan on Xiaozhi's shoulder:
"You should also hope that this Pokémon will evolve? Professor Magnolia is knowledgeable and may be able to help you understand this Pokémon." In the battle just now, he could feel that Xiaozhi was trying to evolve this Nut Pokémon. However, by accident, he learned a new move.

"Dr. Mulan?"

"Well, Dr. Mulan is an amazing person. Even the most special Gigantamax wristband in our Galar region was invented by her."

Yaluo was not stingy with his praise. He raised his arm and showed his Gigantamax wristband to Xiaozhi.

"This is the item that allows Pokémon to achieve Gigantamax combat!"

Xiaozhi's eyes gradually became hot. This is a unique battle system in the Galar region. He has fought against several Dynamax monsters, but he has never used it himself!

Imagine if Pikachu, Meltan, etc. were made into the size of a 30-meter-high mountain. How shocking the scene would be!

However, this item does not seem to be usable normally in the wild and can only be used in specific environments, such as in a gym arena.

"Anyway, I have to get my own Gigantamax wristband!"

Xiaozhi secretly made up his mind to find time to visit the legendary Dr. Mulan.

"As for Dr. Mulan, she now lives in Mugan Town. It's in the wilderness area where you are, and it's the town next to the southern exit."

Yalu still remembered the location of Xiaozhi's real estate certificate, so he enthusiastically pointed him in the right direction.

Strictly speaking, he can be considered half-neighbor of Xiaozhi.

"Wooden Pole Town"

Xiaozhi nodded and kept it in mind.

Speaking of which, to the north of the wilderness is Jiqing City, where he often goes, but he has never been to the south.

It seems that Hepp’s home is also there. I’ll find a chance to go there for a visit!
The matters in Caolu Town were successfully concluded. After wandering around the area for a day, Xiaozhi said goodbye to Mr. Yalu and headed back home.

As for the gym challenge, he gave up for now.
It’s enough to compete in the World Championships!

Many gym leaders from the Galar region seem to be participating in the competition, and most of them are at the Super Ball level or Advanced Ball level.
It is said that one of the owners was a master-level player ranked in the top eight in the last World Championships!

When the time comes to fight with the gym owner opponent, the location will naturally be the arena in various places.

In the arena, whether it is the gym owner's Dynamax Pokémon, or you can temporarily borrow the Dynamax wristband in the gym to fight Dynamax
You can experience it all, so there is no need to go to the gym to challenge it extra.

Even if you are not a gym owner, you can apply to temporarily borrow the gym arena at the super ball level and advanced ball level. So there is no need to worry about not having the opportunity to fight in the gym!

When I arrived at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, I saw a man in a dog-head hat leaning against the carriage, and next to him stood a majestic Steelix, who had been waiting there for a long time.

"I'm sorry to bother you again, Uncle Gouda~!"

Xiaozhi greeted him with a smile. He had already booked a flying taxi in Rotom in advance.

He is now curious about what is going on at home.
“It’s really a novel experience~”

Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, I would just travel when I went out, but now I have my own property in the Galar region. Every time I go out, I miss my family more.

"Oh~ The guests have arrived, let's set off immediately~"

Uncle Gouda flipped over again and jumped onto Steelix, who grabbed the carriage and soared up.

This time, there was no carpooling, and Xiaozhi was the only one in the car, so Pikachu and Meltan could lie next to each other, and occasionally jump onto the car window to look out! (End of this chapter)
