He knows Pokémon better than me.

After finishing my explanation to Dr. Yamanashi, it was already close to dusk.

"Satoshi, are you really not going to stay at the research institute for the night?"

Dr. Yamanashi sighed, still trying to persuade him to stay.

Although there are many pictures and videos, nothing can be more direct than the firsthand account of someone who experienced it.

Upon seeing the former's gaze, Xiao Zhi immediately shuddered and shook his head.

He was all too familiar with that look; Gangshi and Zhubei had stared at him like that countless times before!
However, previously we were telling people about our modern experiences in ancient times, but now we can completely switch to telling them about our modern experiences.

We were young back then, after all!

The thought that an old man might sneak into my bed in the middle of the night, whisper in my ear, and ask me questions in a low voice...
Ash chose to give this opportunity to his best friend in the Sinnoh region.

"By the way, Doctor, Hikari also went to the Seishi area. And she should know more about it than I do."

This is the truth.

He spent most of his time in the entire Greenland region undergoing intensive training, challenging the boss Pokémon from various regions.

On the contrary, Xiao Guang joined Team Galactic, completed missions of all sizes, pacified kings in various places, and rode the unique ride of Xi Cui while playing the Divine Flute.

—It's like experiencing the most complete story of the Xicui area.

Sure enough, Dr. Yamanashi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing these words, and he couldn't wait to go to the neighboring town of Futaba to chat with Hikari that very night.

However, we still have so much jade washing data in hand.

"Ahem.!"

Dr. Yamanashi coughed, composed himself, and decided to wait until he had finished organizing his thoughts before making the visit.

Xiao Zhi gave him such a generous gift this time that he felt somewhat ashamed and didn't know what to give in return.

The lab actually has some rare and promising Pokémon cubs, or special items related to legendary Pokémon.
But none of these things seemed to appeal to Ash at all?
Especially since Ash has a slightly strange-looking Pokémon on his shoulder, and it seems like he'd be giving away a Ralts or Togepi as a bonus.

In the end, Professor Yamanashi made a promise that he would do his best to help Ash whenever he needed it.

Incidentally, I also booked him a plane ticket from Zhuqing City to Qing City.

As Apple's flagship bird, the Steel Raven's battery life is naturally excellent.
However, at most, it can only fly within the region and cannot reach the level of transoceanic navigation.

Furthermore, the Sinnoh region and the Galar region are not adjacent; they are separated by the Unova region.

"Boarding at 8 PM, hmm. We should arrive in the Galar region tomorrow morning."

Ash nodded and used his Rotom phone to receive the e-ticket sent by Professor Yamanashi. He couldn't help but feel excited when he heard the words "Galar Region".

Finally, we can see the big brother crab and the giant king crab!
Zhuqing City and Zhensha Town are adjacent and not far apart.

Ash compared the locations in the Shizuku region and realized that he was currently in the Obsidian Plains, not far from where he had just left Zhuqing Village.

This is roughly the place where Hikaru subdued the leader, Speaker Cricket.

So he stayed at the research institute for a simple dinner, and witnessed two Sinnoh newcomers receive their respective Chimchar and Piplup, bow to him in gratitude, and then embark on their own journey as rookie trainers.

However, most new trainers set off in the early morning, but the two of them were delayed until dusk due to problems at the research institute, so they can only speed up their pace now.

Only one unclaimed baby turtle remained on the spot.

"grass~"

It was staring at Ash with wide eyes and a hopeful expression, as if it wanted to find a trainer to train with on its own.

However, the precious dragon on his shoulder took the initiative first.

"Bee!!"

The baby dragon leaped down and fiercely bit the tender shoot at the top of the grass seedling, causing the latter to run around wildly and howl in pain. Its trainer's slots are full; don't even try to get near it!

Despite its young age, this ancient dragon made a face, exuding a strong aura of evil.

Unless you're a newbie who's almost god-level, don't even think about joining this circle!

Xiaozhi: "."

This guy should get along well with that small group of pseudo-gods in the backyard who like to engage in racial discrimination.

"correct!"

Thinking of the backyard, Ash borrowed a computer from the research lab and called Professor Oak.

The video call connected, and the screen still showed the classic image of an old man, a beaker, and instant noodles.

"Professor Oak, I have three Sinnoh starter Pokémon here. I'll send them to you first."

"The Sinnoh starter Pokémon? Ash, weren't you traveling in the Galar region?"

On the other end of the video call, Professor Oak paused, stunned:
"I heard you have a villa over there. Xiao Mao and I are thinking of going there together sometime to visit!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the background around Ash, which looked somewhat familiar.

Professor Oak didn't realize what was happening until the serious and old-fashioned Professor Yamanashi walked over.

"Huh? Is this the Yamanashi Research Institute?"

Yamanashi raised her hand in greeting, her tone involuntarily becoming more enthusiastic:
"Oh, Damu, long time no see. By the way, next time we chat in the group, I won't be sitting at the same table as you guys."

"Things are getting better in our Sinnoh region now!"

He and Professor Oak are of the same generation, while Elm, Birch, and Juniper are their juniors, so he did not use honorifics.

Damu: "?"

Ash chuckled dryly and quickly returned the three Poké Balls. One can imagine Professor Oak's astonishment when he opened them in the backyard.

The two professors then started talking about Ash's journey to find greenery, with Ash occasionally chiming in.

Ash's magical journey through time.
Professor Oak remained completely unfazed.

I've heard it too many times!

Basically, every time Ash travels to another world, he mentions it to him.

This time, it's just a journey to ancient times, not even to another world!

"Xicui area? Isn't that a fabricated part of your history?"

Professor Oak frowned when he heard that Ash had also brought back the special battle mechanic of "Mastering Moves".

Their whiteboard diving table staff has been reduced again!

And it might even be reduced again soon—

Nowadays, the Pokémon academic community has basically assigned the "Mega Evolution" battle mechanic to both the Kalos and Hoenn regions, making it a dual-region mechanic.

After all, a wide variety of Mega Stones and Key Stones can be found in the Hoenn region, and many local records also confirm that Hoenn trainers were already using Mega Evolution a long time ago.

Even earlier than Carlos!

So, all that's left at the whiteboard diving table are him, Kongmu, and the yew tree!
Professor Oak frowned and immediately gave Ash a serious order.

"Why don't you go back to the ancient Kanto region? Maybe we have some special battle mechanics there that have just been forgotten?"

Ash: "." (End of Chapter)
