He knows Pokémon better than me.

As the gravity chamber stopped operating and the red light dissipated, Pikachu emerged from it, its face glowing red as if it had just received a major injection.

"How's it going, Pikachu? Did it work?"

Xiao Zhi strode forward and quickly asked.

Pikachu stretched leisurely, its joints cracking with every step, before giving a contented reply:
"Pica~!"

It felt like I had a top-notch spa massage; my whole body felt soft and relaxed.

Xiao Zhi looked exasperated and quickly interrupted its blissful expression:
"No, I was asking about the effectiveness of your special training!"

“Pickup truck?”

Pikachu scratched its ear, examined its body, and felt that neither its speed nor its electricity seemed to have changed.

However, its condition is much better now.

If a native Galatian god were to appear now, it could still give the other party an electrotherapy treatment.

"It's not working?"

Ash looked at the experts next to him with suspicion. The golden crown was a very precious item, but all he got was a massage.
You could also find those two octopus-clawed martial arts masters at the department store entrance.

"If it doesn't work, it might mean your Pikachu was already a perfect 6IV from the start."

The fitness instructor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly explained.

He now realized that the man and the rat in front of him were definitely important clients!

"Here's a free one-year VIP gym membership. You and your Pokémon can work out for free at any Marlo Gym in Galar anytime!"

"All nutritional supplements and performance enhancers are 8% off!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi's eyes lit up. There were quite a few fitness machines here that weren't even in the castle.

I'll have the Mr. Mime come over another day, record all these professional instruments, and then buy them back in perfect replicas.

Of course, he was more interested in the gravity chamber than anything else—

Since they're all owned by the Marocmont Group, the construction experts who're coming to inspect the giant nest should be quite knowledgeable about gravity chamber construction. We can consult them then.

"Beep beep! You have received a new text message, Loto~!"

At that moment, Rotom-Cell Phone automatically flew to Ash's side and issued a notification.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Mr. Mime beckoning him home; experts from the Galar League had already arrived.

"This is really efficient!"

Xiao Zhi sighed. He had just communicated with Chairman Rose last night, and the person had arrived just after noon today?
So he quickly accepted the gym membership card, so that he could come here to work out and practice boxing in the future, whether he was a martial arts bear master or dressed as a bear.

Soon, Ash returned to the watchtower, and the castle wanted to see who this architectural expert was.

The gate was wide open, and the Onion Soldiers, holding their Onion Spears, were solemnly guarding the gate.

He just saw some exercise equipment that looked like helmets and armor at the gym, which seemed quite suitable for Cong Youbing to wear?

However, on the other side of the gate, there was a familiar Pokémon—

The brightly colored bird, with its round head and long tail, is quite different from modern birds of prey; it looks more like a winged beast.

"Archaeopteryx?"

Ash was stunned. Wasn't this the fossil Pokémon from Unova?

It must have been the expert who brought the flight crew. Even their landing and resting movements were identical to those of the Steel Ravens in the Flying Taxi, showing how well-trained they were.

He strode into the castle, where a guest was sitting at a wooden table under the giant grass seed, accompanied by a well-dressed Mr. Mime, who was chatting happily with him.

The art style was strangely harmonious. Upon seeing Ash, Mr. Mime immediately stood up and enthusiastically introduced him:

"Bari, bari~!!"

His phone, Rotom, provided a live translation:
"This is Mr. Maga, the architectural engineering expert sent by the Galar Alliance! He must know a lot about the architectural structures throughout the Galar region!"

"I never imagined that this very special Mr. Mime would end up working as your butler after it went missing."

Magu stood up, grinned, and held out his palm to Ash:
"Hello, my name is Magua, and I am also the owner of the Battle Arena!"

Ash looked at the blond man in front of him and realized that this was the Rock-type Gym Leader that Marnie had challenged earlier.

Yes, it is related to building construction.

"Hello, I'm Xiaozhi."

He quickly shook hands. The man in front of him was probably under twenty years old, short and stout, wearing pointed-framed sunglasses, which made him look very flamboyant.

He was wearing a flashy gym uniform with a rock pattern on the chest, a leather jacket over it, and two-tone leather shoes, looking like a nouveau riche.

He's a bit like that rich guy he met in the Hoenn battle frontier.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Xiao Zhi suddenly understood and looked at the other person in surprise:

"Wait a minute, you know my Mr. Mime?!"

Magua took off his stylish sunglasses and nodded subconsciously in response:

"Of course I recognize it. It used to be our Zhanjing Town Ice and Snow Ocean Park."

"Bari!!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Mr. Mime suddenly jumped between the two of them as if he had been stepped on, crossed his arms in front of his chest to form a big "X", and interrupted them abruptly.

"An aquarium?" Ash was stunned.

He remembered that Mr. Mime had indeed mentioned that his hometown was in Battlegrounds, which happened to be Maga's territory, so it was reasonable for the two of them to know each other.

However, seeing that the Mr. Mime seemed quite resistant, he didn't press the matter further.

"Ahem, let's get back to the main point, about Pokémon nests."

Magua coughed lightly and changed the subject.

Although she dresses flamboyantly, she is actually very easy to talk to.

Fun fact: In the Galar region, besides Lurina being a highly popular celebrity model, Maga is also extremely popular, with every autograph session and other event she holds always packed to capacity.

It's almost catching up with another popular online celebrity, Qibana.

However, there was one thing that greatly frustrated him—his number one fan was his own mother, Mei Rong, who was also the other owner of the Battle Arena.

The mother and son did not have a harmonious relationship.

"The giant nest is right there!"

Ash pointed to the dilapidated watchtower next to him, which immediately made Maga look at him with curiosity.

He is very professional in the field of architecture, especially in the area of ​​Galar's various cutting-edge technologies.

This time, it was personally assigned by Chairman Rose, and it was also an extremely rare "Pokémon Nest". So as soon as he got up in the morning, he rode Archaeopteryx from Battlegrounds to the Wild Area.

"Good, it's fortunate that this place hasn't been renovated, otherwise it would be a waste."

As he spoke, Magua strode toward the watchtower.

For the giant nest to be put into normal use, this tower definitely needs to be completely demolished.
The new watchtower will probably have to be built on the other side of the city wall. (End of Chapter)
