He knows Pokémon better than me.

Mingyi was taken aback and subconsciously looked at him:

"Hey, is this okay?"

"Of course! Don't underestimate me!"

Ash had already stood up and skillfully rolled up his sleeves. Don't let his appearance fool you, he's a Pokémon owner who raises an entire castle and manor!

Anyway, my older cousin still has it with him!
"Then I'll have to trouble you!"

Mingyi didn't stand on ceremony; her heart leaped with joy, and her eyes lit up.
If we act quickly, we should still have time to explore the town in the evening!
Then Mingyi handed a list to Xiaozhi, pulled him into the kitchen, and quickly said:
"The list of Pokémon in the backyard, along with their locations, is all on it."

"The food they need is all here, simply categorized by type. The Pokémon here aren't picky eaters. And this is a stroller."

Their Yew Research Institute isn't that high-end; they customize food according to each Pokémon's specific tastes.

All Pokémon follow a uniform standard: Fire-type Pokémon eat Fire-type food, and Water-type Pokémon eat Water-type food.
In the Unova region, people eat this kind of pre-made Pokémon food.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you~"

After saying that, Mingyi left in a hurry. She had to rush to the greenhouse next door, where some of the herbs needed to be cared for regularly every day. Just raising the flower monkeys there wouldn't be enough.

Ash then released Mr. Mime, which quickly filled the cart with food containers, each containing Pokémon food of different types.

"Bari."

The Mr. Mime even seriously leaned closer and sniffed it.

Could it be that the pre-processed grains from the Galar region are the same as those from the same factory?

Of course, as the castle's head butler, it also sprinkles the corresponding berry powder according to each Pokémon's taste, which is an extra step.

"Stop playing with Pikachu, Victini~!"

After being reminded, Victini flew over and landed on his head.

Pikachu jumped onto the food truck, picked up a few to test for poison, and started eating the buffet.

"Let's go, everyone, let's get to work!"

Pushing the food cart, I returned to the backyard lawn and began searching for the Pokémon located at the specified spots on the list!
The backyard of the research institute.

The first on the list is naturally the energetic, afro-haired water buffalo that runs back and forth on the lawn.

The sound of the rations rattling in the food box had just begun.

"Moo?!" "Moo?!" "Moo?!"

The three buffalo with their afro-like hair turned around almost simultaneously and charged straight at him, kicking up clouds of dust.

Xiao Zhi stood still and casually remarked:
"The difference in momentum is quite significant."

After all, back in my hometown, there was a scene of sixty Tauros running around at once, shaking the earth!

These three buffalo with their afro-like hair were quite well-behaved; they stopped automatically when they reached us, without brute forcefully charging around.

Ash and Mr. Mime quickly placed three food boxes labeled "Normal" and pushed them forward.

The buffaloes with their afro immediately lowered their heads and began to eat, occasionally raising their heads suddenly to let out a "moo" before continuing to bury their heads in their food.

Authentic Hezhong grain-fed water buffalo!

After feeding the afro-haired buffalo, it was Mr. Mime's turn to push the cart. Ash looked down at the list to confirm the direction.

Next, we need to go to a small pond nearby to feed the cold-water monkeys, the toad king, and the ribbed sea turtles there.

There are even fossil Pokémon!

"However, there aren't many Pokémon kept here."

There are only two pages in total, and the number is about fifty. Keep in mind that there are nearly 400 at Oak's laboratory!
Trainers not only in Pallet Town, but also in the southeastern part of the Kanto region, and even in other areas, have made a point of setting up their "backyard" at Oak's lab.

Of course, the research institute only has two people and a frog, so they can't handle everything.

Therefore, Oak's lab stopped accepting fosters and kept the number under 400. Otherwise, given Gary's initial level, he could have tamed over a hundred on his own!
"These fifty should all be raised by local trainers in Deer Town, right?"

The list also included the trainers' names, and even Naruto's Pokémon!

The lightning zebra and the long-haired dog were not far apart.

In addition, he also has the power of waveguides to assist him, so he can immediately lock onto the location as soon as he gets nearby.
In less than an hour, the once full cart was reduced to just a few food boxes.

The remaining Pokémon were all in the most secluded corner of the backyard: Float, Chandelure, and Eelaptor.
They are all rather sinister and underworld-like types.

When Ash finally found the last Eel King near a low-lying rocky mountain, he was surprised to find someone standing next to it.

This was a gray-green-haired boy, about the same age as him, but with a somewhat cold and stern face.

Wearing an orange jacket and beige trousers, and holding a mobile phone, Rotom was taking pictures.
"Hmm, Emperor Xiu? What are you doing here?"

Ash was taken aback when he recognized the trainer as someone he had met briefly when he was traveling in the Unova region years ago.

He quickly looked down and realized that the rather eerie Pokémon on the list all belonged to Xiu Di.

Emperor Xiu was also taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise:
"Ash? It's not strange that I'm here, it's strange that you're here."

He's a local from Deer Village, and all the Pokémon he catches are fostered here.

Ever since seeing the news about Carlos, he has also become interested in Mega Evolution.

So I came here specifically to see my Pokémon, intending to take them home. Both Eelektro and Chandelure have the potential for Mega Evolution.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly saw Ash here.

"Haha, long time no see, Emperor Xiu~!"

Ash snapped out of his daze, smiled, and quickly walked forward to greet them.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Emperor Xiu nodded in polite response.

Ash's performance at the Fanba World Championships back then made Xiu Di no longer consider him a formidable rival of his generation.
They're not even in the same league!

The Emperor's tone became more respectful towards such a master.

Although I don't know how Ash suddenly got here, it's a good thing!
With a tense expression, Xiu Di suddenly looked at Xiao Zhi with a serious expression and directly issued a battle request:

"Can we have a Pokémon battle? I want to see how big the gap is between me now and you?"

Xiao Zhi paused for a moment, glanced at the food cart, and realized that most of the food had been delivered.

So he became interested, clapped his hands, and laughed:
"Alright! Let's have a fight!"

He would never refuse a challenge from anyone!
As for the rules, Emperor Xiudi's fighting spirit was high.

Moreover, it was a rare opportunity to encounter such a skilled opponent, so they immediately proposed a 6v6 battle for all of them, which Ash readily agreed to.

The two drew a line, and the Mr. Mime skillfully took on the role of referee.

"You're starting, you arrogant pheasant!!"

Emperor Xiu first dispatched his allied pheasant as the first to fight, a proud female pheasant with an unremarkable round head.
Ten minutes later, the outcome was decided.

Emperor Xiu: "."

Several Pokémon were already lying sprawled around him.

Xiao Zhi scratched his head, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed:
"Uh, it seems like it ended too quickly?"

strangeness.

Previously, if it was a 6v6 match with all players, the battle would have been less than two hours long, but the time always felt infinitely long, making it feel like a long and tiring week or even ten days!
But today's 6v6 match, which lasted 5 minutes, felt like it ended in just 10 seconds.
This is the first time the time has been shortened. (End of Chapter)
