He knows Pokémon better than me.

The next day, Xiao Zhi woke up sleepily with two big panda eyes on his face.

As it turns out, men's desires are in no way inferior to women's. He was drained by the diamond until the wee hours of the morning.

The two were separated by the bed; Gangshi explored, and he kept responding.

Knowing that Ash wouldn't be staying in King Kong Village for a week like he did in Pearl Village, and that he would be returning to the village tomorrow, King Kong seized this precious opportunity.

So Ash recounted all his experiences and observations from all over the world—

Whether it's about the development and changes of the future era or novel electrical technologies.

It's still about the modern training, battles, tournaments, and combat mechanics of Pokémon.
All of this broadened Gangshi's horizons.

"I really wish I could experience a world in another time!"

Gangshi, like a passionate ten-year-old boy, uttered a longing and exclamation.

Ash chuckled dryly. This guy was the opposite of Shellder, yet remarkably similar.

If Celebi were around, he wouldn't mind letting Celebi take the diamond to travel and explore different points in time.

"Speaking of which, if I want to return to the modern era now, I don't necessarily have to ask Mr. Wang Luo for a way. If I find Celebi, I should be able to use his power to return to the modern era, right?"

Ash thought to himself, "I wonder which timeline Celebi and Jirachi have wandered off to now."

As for the explanation of the Great Lord Sinnoh—

Despite his complete trust in Ash, Rockstone remains convinced that Dialga, who controls the power of time, is the only Sinnoh Grandmaster in the Greenland region.

All others are false venerable ones!

"It seems that neither Kongshi nor Tsurugi will come to their senses until they see Palkia and Dialga with their own eyes."

Ash had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​reconciling Team Kong and Team Pearl.

After a simple breakfast at Pearl Village in the early morning, he released his Corviknight and prepared to return to the village.

"By the way, Ash, do you need this?"

Before leaving, Rockstone handed Ash a fist-sized cloth bag. When the drawstring was pulled open, it was found to be stuffed full of black seeds.

"These are all...Master Seeds?!"

Xiao Zhi's face lit up with joy. He weighed the pills in his hand and figured there were probably about a hundred of them.
"Haha, consider this payment for the stories from last night~"

Golem laughed heartily and winked at Ash.

The two talked for a whole night, and later, when they got really into it, he even crawled into Xiaozhi's bed—

Zoroark was caught off guard and revealed Ash's true form.

However, this did not surprise Gangshi too much.

His sensitivity to time had led him to guess that Xiao Zhi was neither from this era nor a member of the Ginkgo Merchant Guild.

Although those chambers of commerce had traveled far and wide and had seen much, their vision was limited to the Xicui region of this era.

So Ash stopped hiding his identity and used his real name and appearance to get to know Rocky anew.

As for Ash's purpose in concealing his identity, Gorilla didn't ask too many questions; he trusted his intuition more.

"So, will the future Greenland region be called the Sinnoh region?"

Just knowing the name is enough for Diamond to spend 100 Mastery Seeds as a reward!
Not to mention they also learned that the Sinnoh region would see the establishment of various cities, gyms, and Pokémon Leagues in the future.
"That's a great deal! Uh, let me give you a heads-up, Mr. Golem, these Master Seeds are incredibly useful for Pokémon training."

Xiao Zhi still felt that he should explain it beforehand.

People in this era don't pay attention to Pokémon breeding or battling, so no one knows the importance of mastering the seeds.

In places like King Kong Village, you don't specifically collect Mastery Seeds when gathering resources in the wild, but you won't throw them away if you find them.

Over time, many things have been preserved in the settlements.

I imagine the situation is similar over in the pearl settlement.

Its sole purpose is to sell it to the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce, which will then transport it to Zhuqing Village for resale.

However, the villagers of Zhuqing Village are not enthusiastic about this product, so the recycling price has always been very low, making it a common, neglected commodity.

After thinking it over, Ash decided to emphasize the importance of teaching moves over mastering them. Mastering moves, in particular, is essentially equivalent to "Mega Evolution" or "Z-Moves" in this era.

The people washing green still don't understand Pokémon!
"I understand now, the importance of these proficient seeds."

Golem nodded seriously, but still gave the bag of seeds to Ash.

"Actually, our King Kong team has accumulated quite a few of your bags, probably only 1/10 of the total."

Xiao Zhi raised an eyebrow. "That number must be in the four digits, right?"

So the reason why the probability of wild Pokémon carrying them is so low is not because of his and Dawn's collecting.
It seems like the feelings have already been collected by either the Kong Team or the Pearl Team, right?
Now that they understand the importance of mastering the seeds, this resource has naturally become a target for the Kongo Squad, and they will likely focus on collecting it in the future.

"Could it be because of me? No wonder we no longer see players proficient in moves in the modern Sinnoh region."

Xiao Zhi gave a dry laugh.

Gangshi, on the other hand, was eager to learn that now that they knew the greatest use of the Seed Mastery, the Kongo Team should have closer ties with Zhuqing Village and make good use of their training grounds.

Or, we could just invite Miss Berry over for a while!
A thousand mastery seeds may seem like a lot, but if divided equally among a team of over a hundred people, each person can only get 10 seeds, and at most can only practice two mastery techniques.

If you factor in the success rate of learning, you might not even be able to master a single move.

"From now on, our Team Kong must pay more attention to Pokémon training and battles!"

Having listened to so much of Ash's story, Rockstone now possesses a perspective far beyond his time.

We can't just think about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation; we need to have higher aspirations!
"In that case, I'll accept it."

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi stopped making excuses. After this round trip, his number of Master Seeds was suddenly abundant!

By the way, should we also take a trip to the pristine white permafrost while we're on the way, to remind the pearl oysters?
You might even get an extra 100 Mastery Seeds!
"Then I'll be going now, Mr. Gangshi. Thank you for the seed."

After packing his luggage, Ash mounted Corviknight, which then took flight.

The majestic black and blue steel bird surprised many members of the Kongo team.

Diamond waved goodbye from below, then suddenly added loudly:

"Oh, right! I'll be going to Zhuqing Village in a few days too. Tell me more stories then!"

He naturally wanted to experience the strength of the so-called powerful/swift moves.

These words nearly made Ash fall off his bird's back; he really couldn't resist the inquisitiveness of the two team leaders! (End of Chapter)
