He knows Pokémon better than me.

As the smoke and dust cleared, the quicksand was torn open, forming a small pit. Inside, a giblet lay with its eyes darting around, having lost its fighting ability.

"Aww~!"

Baby Dragon let out a triumphant growl, dispelling the arc of its double slash, and jumped onto the lawn beside it.

He lowered his head and spat out a few small flames, which ignited the grass seedlings and created an updraft.

Call ~
Baby Dragon spread its arms, its body instantly levitated and rose, then glided lightly to Ash's shoulder with a smooth motion.

"Is there such a way to take off?"

Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in amazement.

Compared to other baby dragons that are obsessed with flying but can only jump down from high slopes at most, this one has already mastered the fancy "flying" ability right from birth!

"Did you lose so easily?"

On the other side, Wang Luo paused for a moment, then took out a Green Poké Ball and recalled Gible.

He already had a Garchomp, so he carefully nurtured his second Garchomp from its juvenile stage.

I didn't expect to be defeated so easily!
Just how good is this guy at fighting?

Wang Luo glanced at Xiao Zhi, who was teasing the baby dragon, and a hint of gloom flashed across his face.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to challenge Ash again with his true trump cards, Garchomp and Rockruff, Wangluo put on a friendly smile again and walked up.

"What a special Pokémon!"

As for Pikachu on Ash's other shoulder, it looks harmless.

But every time I make eye contact with him, I always have the illusion that I'm being mocked.
Pikachu was munching on a grapefruit when it turned its head and gave Wanglu a mocking smile.

"Pica~"

It's not an illusion!
Wang Luo: "."

This guy's Pokémon all seem a bit off!

After the battle, the two returned to Zhuqing Village together, chatting and laughing. Wangluo continued to probe Xiaozhi's background and purpose.

After several exchanges, Wang Luo was amazed by Ash's knowledge. He could talk about his experiences in other regions, including the Green Region, and even Pokémon, without hesitation.

Like a trainer who has traveled the world for twenty years, he knows all sorts of secrets and special Pokémon like the back of his hand.

Even Wang Luo himself had never heard of most of them.

Of course, what Wang Luo was most interested in was the part related to legendary Pokémon—

"Was it a legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region that triggered the volcanic eruption? Or was it actually using the volcanic eruption to expand the land area?"

Listening to Ash's introduction of Groudon, Wang Luo looked on as if he were listening to gibberish.

His expression shifted from initial probing to a fervent thirst for mythological knowledge.
Wang Luo is a master schemer, but he shares the same hobby as Zhu Lan: a deep interest in myths and legends from all over the world.

The biggest difference between the two is that Zhu Lan views the myths and legends of various regions equally.

I don't think Dialga and Palkia are any better than Groudon and Kyogre.

But Wangluo is different. In his heart, the Sinnoh Grandmaster is the greatest being in the world, a level higher than legendary Pokémon from other regions.

Of course, his "Sinnoh Daisuke" is not the same as that of Team Kongo or Team Pearl.
The two continued until they returned to the entrance of Zhuqing Village.

"Huh? Are you here already?"

Wang Luo belatedly realized what was happening and stared blankly at the village entrance.

They got so engrossed in their conversation that they unknowingly returned to Zhuqing Village. Moreover, he was now asking about the customs, legends, and stories of various places, completely forgetting his original purpose of probing Xiaozhi!

On the other side, Ash had already released Zoroark and used his Illusion ability to transform him into a member of the Ginkgo Merchant Guild.

The two people from the Ginkgo Merchants Association were traveling together, and the guards at the village entrance let them through after a brief inquiry.

They don't have time to investigate the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce right now; the village entrance is in a mess.

"Hurry up, the Qinghai Coast needs our help."

"These Zubat, Murkrow, and Beautifly are all yours to handle. They're all Pokémon that know the Defog move."

Miss Bellila, the head of the guard team, handed seven or eight Poké Balls to her subordinates and was giving them instructions.

Dawn's information has been relayed back; Team Galactic is now sending more Pokémon to the Azure Coast to purify the air.

Bellila wants to stay in the village so that more Pokémon can learn the "useless" move Defog.

Noticing Ash returning to the village, Bellila waved in greeting:
"Oh, Guo Gang, long time no see. By the way, the training grounds are closed to the public these days, sorry."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran away.

Xiao Zhi pursed his lips, not seeing anything wrong with it.

He's now proficient in all the seed techniques and is very familiar with the learning process for mastering them, so he can teach the techniques himself.

That's right, we can't make the master pills yet.

"Don't rush things now, let's go back and have Lucario remake it."

Ash subconsciously touched his pocket. He had already filmed the whole process of Aiolia making pills by hand, so he should be able to make a level 3 Lucario by hand soon.

"Then I'll head back now, Mr. Wang Luo~"

So at the village's accommodation area, Ash pointed to Dawn's house and prepared to say goodbye.

"That's it"

Wang Luo stared intently at Xiao Zhi, her tone filled with reluctance and her gaze burning with passion.
This made Xiao Zhi shudder.

He recognized that look!
The way Zhubei and Gangshi looked at him before was exactly the same!
They all had that look in their eyes that seemed to want to climb into his bed in the middle of the night, whisper urging him on, and drain him dry!
Xiao Zhi could only laugh awkwardly. He didn't want to sleep with such a dangerous person right now, so he immediately turned around and went into Xiao Guang's room.

Outside, Wang Luo stood there for a while before gradually suppressing his regretful expression.

Then, his expression became somewhat intriguing.

In the past, when he interacted with anyone, all he thought about was how to take advantage of them; his seemingly friendly conversations were actually hiding his own self-interest.

However, on the way back with Ash just now...
"It feels pretty good?"

Wang Luo was somewhat taken aback. Apart from the electric mouse always giving him a mocking look, he felt particularly relaxed spending time with Xiao Zhi.

Without realizing it, even my own goals were temporarily put aside.

"No... I'm actually wavering!"

Wang Luo suddenly shook his head, his expression turning gloomy.

He is the purest of the Celestials, and the one he worships, the Divine Lord, is the greatest being, far surpassing any outsider like Team Galactic, Team Kongo, or Team Pearl!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the King Kong Team and the Pearl Team are local forces.
But in Wang Luo's eyes, they were no different from the Galaxy team.

Only people like him, who are from the divine realm, are the purest, native Xicui people.

Only it is qualified to establish a connection with Grandmaster Sinnoh, and even control his power! (End of Chapter)
