He knows Pokémon better than me.

It was a rare sight to encounter a wild Galar Goby, and Ash was delighted to see the prey, so he couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

"cowry!"

Tengchui's eyes narrowed, and he instantly realized Xiaozhi's intention.

He pulled his hand out of his pocket, shook out a black stone, and kicked it twice with great force, launching it towards Xiaozhi.

"You underestimated me~!"

Xiaozhi grinned and quickly raised his hand, easily catching the stone hidden weapon that was coming at him.

"Sure enough, he is very good at leg skills!"

While praising, Xiaozhi subconsciously looked at his palm and found that it was not a stone, but a black one, similar to charcoal.

Bang!

The next moment, the black charcoal exploded suddenly, like a smoke bomb, and thick smoke instantly filled the surroundings.

"Ahem. So it's a smokescreen trick?"

Xiaozhi quickly fanned his hands in front of his face. This move can also be used by Charmander in his hometown, but Charmander sprays smoke directly from its mouth instead of using this smoke bomb.

"It's decided that it's you, Farfetch'n, use the Defogging!"

He quickly released the Onion Duck, which understood what he meant and swung the onion across the spot.

Phew~!

In an instant, the smoke in the sky dissipated and the air became much fresher.

"Gah!"

The Onion Duck then continued to carry the onion on its shoulder with satisfaction, and held a second half-meter-long onion with its other wing.
This is the item that Xiaozhi just bought, Scallion. At this moment, Farfetch'd is adapting to his dual-sword fighting style.

The original 2-meter-long scallion is used to perform heavy power-type moves, while the item scallion is used for delicate assaults, making it easier to deliver targeted hits to vital points.

just
Both the young general Tengchu and those cunning little foxes disappeared.

"Did he run away? That Tengchui kid should be the leader of the cunning little foxes or something like that?"

Xiaozhi didn't show any regretful expression, and guessed in his heart.

Even though the smoke screen obscured their view, his wave power had never been turned off, and he could clearly see that General Tengchu was protecting the five cunning little foxes as they fled together.

It’s just that foxes eat rabbits, right?

The feeling is completely the opposite!

This actually made Xiaozhi even more interested in this cool football rabbit.

"Is there a small jungle over there?"

Turning his head to look in the direction where Tengchui left, Xiaozhi could vaguely see a pair of orange pupils crawling in the grass, staring at him intently.

It's a very alert Pokémon.

"Anyway, come back first."

Xiaozhi took back Farfetch'd. He was now close to the middle of Route 2. The middle of the river was connected by an arched stone bridge. On the other side was Professor Mulan's home.

Similar to the research institute in Mugan Town, it still has a purple roof covered with some ivy and petals, which looks very elegant.

Xiaozhi plans to ask Dr. Mulan first what she knows about these cunning little foxes and the Tengchui boys.

After crossing the bridge, walk to the Purple House building and knock on the door.

dong dong!

After a while, the door opened and a woman with gray-brown hair came out.

She was an elegant and intellectual old lady wearing triangular glasses with a lanyard, a white coat over a yellow dress, and leaning on a blue crow cane.

"Who are you.?"

After seeing Xiaozhi, the old woman with a cane first looked Xiaozhi up and down, then looked at the Meltan on Xiaozhi's shoulder and couldn't help but look at it a few more times. "Oh, I'm Xiaozhi from the Kanto region, and I just moved to the Galar region recently. You are Professor Mulan, right? I have some questions to ask you!"

Xiaozhi introduced himself enthusiastically.

"Kanto region?"

This time, Dr. Mulan's gaze fell on Pikachu again, with an expression that said "as expected".

Although there are Pikachu in the Galar region, their appearance is slightly different from that in other places.

Of course, it has not yet reached the level of "regional differences".

"Hello, I'm Dr. Mulan, come in first."

The latter smiled politely and nodded. It was a rare occasion for someone to visit him, so Dr. Mulan directly invited Xiaozhi into the house.

Entering the entrance, Xiaozhi found that there were many young and fashionable shoes and boots next to the shoe cabinet, and many fashionable sunglasses were hung on the wall.
I guess there are some young people living in Dr. Mulan's house.

"These are all my granddaughter's. But she's been out for the past few days."

Dr. Mulan was making tea in the kitchen and answered Xiaozhi's question as if she had guessed it.

Xiaozhi sat on the sofa and looked around curiously, while Pikachu and Meltan started exploring the surroundings.

"Don't eat anything, Meltan!"

Seeing that Meltan was about to eat the tin of cookies on the TV cabinet, Xiaozhi quickly picked up this restless guy and pressed him down on his lap.

Dr. Mulan also came up with two cups of tea.

"You are the Satoshi from Pallet Town, right? I've heard of you for a long time~"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi immediately stood up from the sofa. Just now he only said that he was from the Kanto region.

"I heard Mashid mention you before, and he even let me watch your Pokémon battle video."

Dr. Mulan smiled politely and signaled Xiaozhi to sit down again:
"Well, although Pokémon battles in other regions are somewhat different from those in the Galar region, I can see that you are an extremely capable trainer."

She did not skimp on her praise.

The last trainer who impressed her was the current Galar champion, Dende.

"Thank you for the compliment, Dr. Mulan."

Xiaozhi laughed and scratched his head. It seemed that the other party was Master Ma's friend, so that was easy to deal with.

So he got straight to the point and held Meltan directly in front of Dr. Mulan:
"To be honest, I came here this time to ask about the method of evolving this Pokémon! Does Professor Mulan know anything about this Pokémon?"

Dr. Mulan pushed up her glasses:
"Meltan."

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. The other party directly read out Meltan's name, obviously knowing her.

"Milu~!!"

Meltan even hugged Dr. Mulan's thighs with a look of anticipation.

"Meltan's evolution. You've asked the right person."

"You probably can't find much information about Meltan on the Internet these days. I guess only the old people in the Galar region know something about it."

Dr. Mulan did not hide anything and picked up Meltan and poked the liquid metal body.

At the same time, he slowly recounted the history of the Galar region decades ago:
"At that time, the Galar region was not as technologically advanced as it is now, and many things were not recorded. Even Dynamax battles were not popular."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of a middle-aged man in a suit, always smiling, with a tuft of curly hair hanging down on his forehead.

Roz!

Although she now has different ideas from President Ross and has long since withdrawn from the Galar Alliance.

But I have to say that this man has indeed greatly changed the Galar region! (End of this chapter)
