He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Why? Xiaozhi, are you familiar with the gym leader there?"

Ma Shide saw the expression on Xiaozhi's face and said with a smile:

"Hot knowledge, local museum owners who apply for the celebration conference will generally participate in the competition~!"

For example, in the celebration held in the city of Sala in the Kalos region last month, the local gym leader Korni was also a participant and made it to the top of the Super Ball rankings at one go.

I guess they are all preparing for the advanced level promotion matches now——

Promotion from Poké Ball level to Super Ball level is natural.

When it comes to advanced ball, if you want to get into the top 99, you have to go through a special qualifying tournament.

"So, does that guy Shinji also participate in the competition?"

Xiaozhi's expression suddenly became serious. That guy was not a simple trainer.

After taking a look at his new Galar team, he realized that they must double their training before next week, otherwise they would definitely be able to defeat Shinji.

Well, he didn't want Shinji to say things like "You're going backwards as you get older" or "Useless guy" with his head held high.

"Haha, Xiaozhi, you better work hard next time. Seeing how you built the castle, I, an old man, don't have any more guidance to give."

"Just remember to come to Kai Island next time~"

Masdelehehe pointed at his bear apprentice who was touring with the magic wall puppet not far away, gave him some final instructions, and then chose to say goodbye.

"I won't be participating in this World Championship, old man. But I'm still looking forward to your performance, Xiaozhi~!"

After saying this, he walked out of the castle, boarded the Steel Crow, and flapped his wings to take off.

Xiaozhi watched the man and the bird gradually disappear into the sky. The blue jay on the roof showed a look of longing and envy, wondering when it would be able to possess those majestic armor and feathers.

Back in the castle, Xiaozhi clapped his hands and signaled everyone to come over.

"Okay, everyone just heard it. There is an important mission waiting for us at the coastal celebration next week, so the next few days will be special training!"

"Lucario, please take some time out these few days to teach them your ancient martial arts."

Hearing this, Lucario shook the wool in his hand. It was now a hardworking weaver.

"Well, let's put work aside for now."

Xiaozhi could only raise his hand and press it down. After all, he had no plans to build a luxurious villa, marry the goddess of the lake, or build a castle.

It’s enough!
Glancing at the sky, the sun was already high in the sky. Thinking that he had not yet reached the morning exercise target for the teddy bear, Xiaozhi quickly put it down and started doing sit-ups.

"Apprentice Bear, you should also join the morning exercises with the Bear Doll from now on."

"Drink!"

The bear disciple growled, clasped his fists and nodded, then began to practice, imitating the movements of the man and the bear.

After completing three sets of 100 reps, it’s time for a -kilometer long-distance run.

This time, the long-distance running team was led by Tengchui at the front, with the bear doll in the middle and the bear apprentice at the end. Xiaozhi followed beside them on a Rotom bicycle.

"You have good physical fitness."

Seeing that his bear apprentice's movements and breathing were even throughout the whole process, and he was just gasping for breath after running, Xiaozhi's eyes lit up.

This physical fitness seems to be better than Mashado's. It seems that he has already undergone training on Kai Island before.

Don’t know how it works in actual combat?
The bear apprentice was also quietly observing his companions, and felt that sit-ups, squats, and long-distance running were the most basic training items, and did not improve their strength. However, thinking that Xiaozhi could even "massage" Mewtwo, it had no objection and strictly followed it.

In the afternoon, Xiaozhi rode the Rotom bike directly to the northeast edge of the wilderness area, and the Mecha River was right in front of him.

Looking up, the stone bridge connecting to the second mine was built on the Jiqing River. The stone pillars below were extremely high, about 50 meters, like a small hill, and it was impossible to climb the bridge normally from below.

There was a simple wooden bridge over the water, but now he was riding the latest model of amphibious bicycle.

Wow!
Once near the riverbank, Rotom Bike switched forms and crossed the river with ease.

When we reached the wilderness north of the Jiqing River, the light suddenly dimmed.

This place is located right below the huge stone bridge, like a tunnel, and is called the bridge space.

Towering stone pillars of the bridge separated the ground. The surroundings were a bit damp and the fog took a long time to dissipate.

"No, is it the mist venue?"

Xiaozhi looked around and saw that the mist was a little pink, which was very strange.

In this environment, there are naturally many fairy-type Pokémon living there.

For example, the young form of the Magic Wall Doll, Monini, is raising his two little hands and jumping around by the river.

In the past, Monini was considered to have a single superpower attribute, but now it has been corrected to have superpower + fairy attributes.

If it completes its evolution in the Galar region, it will become an ice-attributed Magic Wall Doll, which looks like my cousin.

There was also a pool of creamy yellow mud. When it saw Xiaozhi approaching, it immediately squirmed and hid beside the bridge pillar.

There was also a pink fairy-like Pokémon with a pointy nose and ears, which was sticking out its tongue and making faces at him, and would immediately run away when he approached.

"These are all Pokémon I've seen for the first time."

Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. The types of wild Pokémon he saw after crossing the Mecha River were completely different.

Taking out the Pokédex, I found that these two Pokémon are fairy-attribute Pokémon.

"Beep, Fairy Milk, a fairy attribute Pokémon, is said to be born from the sweet aroma in the air. The more sweet aroma it absorbs, the bigger its body will expand!"

"A mischievous little demon with evil and fairy attributes. He likes to use his nose to absorb the negative energy generated by other organisms when they have negative emotions, so he often makes trouble everywhere to cause trouble. Loto~!"

Xiaozhi nodded. Little Fairy Milk was probably the young form of Frost Milk Fairy. Not to mention, it did give people a feeling of increased appetite.

In the mist, he even saw a Gardevoir wandering around, like a human woman in a long skirt walking in the mist, and its figure looked quite strange and creepy.

"Is this the 'bully' Pokémon around here?"

Seeing that its level was very high, Xiaozhi did not take the initiative to provoke this Gardevoir, but rode his bicycle through the space between the bridges.

After coming out, the view immediately widened. Outside was a green lawn area, with several huge rocks of different shapes scattered among them, forming a unique landscape.

This is the area called the Boulder Field.

Going further, you will reach the heart of the wilderness area north of the Jiqing River.

However, Xiaozhi’s goal today is not to explore this wilderness area, but the Pokémon Nest!

But in the middle of the two erected giant rocks, there was a honeycomb-shaped stone platform, and from the hole in the middle, a beam of purple-red energy beam was radiating straight upwards! (End of this chapter)
