Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

He had always been very interested in this island king, who was probably even smaller than himself, and wanted to see Ash's strength for himself.

"Ash, how long can you stay on Melemele Island?" Kukui asked casually.

"I won't be here long. After challenging Mr. Hara, I'll have to prepare to return to Kanto."

From the moment Ash arrived at Melemele Island, his journey in Alola was already in its final countdown. He could only stay for another ten days or so at most, making it a full month.

The journey in Johto must continue, Ho-Oh's trials are about to begin, and Mewtwo is waiting for him to return to host the party!

"But don't worry, I'll help you with some preparations for establishing the league during this time," Ash quickly added, seeing Kukui's slight disappointment.

"That's wonderful! You must tell me your thoughts!" Kukui said excitedly.

"My idea is a secret for now... but could you please help me apply to Principal Oki here? I want to audit classes at the school."

"You...go to school?!" *N

Another gasp rang out on the beach.

Chapter 424 Going to School, and the Ugly Fish Who Surprised Her

The fact that Ash wanted to go to school surprised many people.

His own people, after returning to the hotel, also engaged in a heated discussion.

"Xiao Zhi, you didn't slip up, did you...? Did you really mean to say you want to become a teacher?"

In Xiao Gang's opinion, Xiao Zhi nowadays has nothing to do with being a student.

With his abilities, his continued presence at schools would put immense pressure on both students and teachers.

“You’re right, I’m going to be a student and audit the classes,” Xiaozhi said matter-of-factly. “I’m only eleven years old, the same age as them, I don’t want to be a teacher.”

At eleven years old, Xiao Zhi would repeatedly emphasize his current age.

Even though he is powerful, holds a high position, has a large harem, and always deals with all sorts of cunning old men and legendary Pokémon...

But he's still a child~

Besides, Ash isn't exactly a teacher. It's fine for him to guide others as a senior, but he doesn't have the time to take on apprentices or teach students.

"The reason you don't become a teacher is probably because you're worried about not being able to make a move on those students," Xiaoxia sneered. "I saw it all before. That Lillie who hadn't said a word was definitely looking at you strangely! And you've already captured an Ultra Beast with the same name. It's hard to guarantee that you won't have any improper thoughts about me."

"Not necessarily..." Seeing Ash's helpless expression, Lyra weakly offered her rebuttal.

"Why not? Don't you know your brother?" Xiaoxia boasted that she had seen through Xiaozhi's character.

"What I mean is, there are three girls in that class, so my brother's target... must be more than one~"

"Lyla, you..." Ash almost spat out a mouthful of blood, while Misty and Brock laughed heartily, and even Bea's face showed a barely perceptible smile.

Well, these kids have all gone astray now.

It's bad enough that Xia is getting more and more critical and jealous, but even Lila, who was perfectly fine, has gone astray!

Who is the culprit?

"What nonsense are you all talking about? You're really underestimating Ash. Is he that kind of person?" Blue said seriously, trying to smooth things over. "Even if our Ash becomes a teacher, it won't stop him from flirting with those girls~"

"You!" Xiao Zhi stared at Xiao Lan, his lips trembling.

He will definitely not let this culprit get away with it tonight!

But Xiao Lan had already put on a serious expression, carefully considering: "Xiao Zhi has gone to be a student, we need to find something to do too..."

"Hey, aren't you guys coming along?" Ash was taken aback; he thought Blue and the others would want to join in the fun.

“We need to get down to business, so we don’t waste this time,” Xiao Lan said, shaking her head. “I’m planning to take Lila to Etherland. What about you, Hua Lan sisters?”

"I want to train with her!" Xiaoxia went straight to Caidou. As for whether it was to train her Pokémon or to exercise her body, only she knew.

“Sure.” Cai Dou was of course indifferent.

"I'm going to help out at the Pokémon Center. I've already made arrangements." Brock was clearly keeping his business in mind. "Miss Nurse Joy here has a very unique method for treating Pokémon. I want to learn it from her."

Hmm... Xiao Gang would look more serious if he didn't have heart-shaped eyes.

In the end, only Ash went to school by himself, but that's fine too, because it will be easier for him to integrate into the students if he acts alone.

These students in Kukui's class were his key targets for observation.

In the game, apart from Lillie, the other four are all team leaders.

Alola needs to form an alliance, and the Island Tour needs to re-establish its captains; they are naturally the first choice.

In short, everyone's itinerary was decided... What Ash didn't know was that after learning about his enrollment, the school was also making preparations in full swing.

...

Bang!

The next morning, when Xiao Zhi arrived at the school gate, a burst of colorful ribbons suddenly exploded above his head, followed by a warm welcome from two men and three women.

"Alola! A surprise is coming!"

The first one to rush over was Mao, a warm-hearted girl who carried a special sweet scent emanating from a sweet bamboo stalk on her shoulder.

Tropical fruit Pokémon, with their delicious, juicy flavor, are a favorite of many insect and bird Pokémon…

"This is a ceremony we've prepared carefully!" Mao raised her hands in a welcoming gesture. "That was the first surprise I prepared!"

"It's a pleasant surprise indeed." Xiao Zhi nodded with a smile.

"Next, I'll bring you the second surprise. I'm going to challenge you!" The chubby little Mamane jumped out, his eyes fixed on Ash.

"Challenge me?" "Pikachu?"

Ash and Pikachu raised their eyebrows simultaneously. Beside Mamane was a Togoldema, an electric mouse unique to Alola.

But actually it's a hedgehog...

(It's a spiny rat.)

Xiao Zhi: ...

Well, that's a quick slap in the face.

"Of course not, I can't beat the island king~" Mamane readily admitted defeat.

The so-called challenge is actually popping balloons. Two piles of inflated balloons are placed in a basin, and the challenge is to see who can pop all the balloons first.

The Pokémon that Mamane will use is, of course, his Alola cousin, which has a great advantage in this regard.

"As for me, I'll go with Feebas," Ash made an unexpected decision.

Even for a fun competition, sending out a Feebas is way too much of a waste!

However, some people do not share this view.

"That ugly fish seems quite pretty," Water Lily said, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the ugly fish.

"Great eye!" Ash gave a thumbs up. "My Feebas is no ordinary fish. I'll give it my all in the upcoming match!"

Ash gave Feebas beautiful scales and massaged it every day using massage techniques he learned from Nanami to enhance Feebas's beauty.

Although its appearance is still pitted and uneven, it is indeed different from ordinary individuals.

Lana could see some differences, which shows that she really knows a lot about Water-type Pokémon.

"Then let's start the match right away!"

"Togodemar, backstab me!"

Mao impatiently announced the start of the competition, and Mamane immediately made the little hedgehog raise its back spikes like steel needles, while he himself kept bringing up balloons and popping them one after another.

"Ugly Fish, make it a bit more elaborate... Blizzard!" "Hush!"

Snow and wind spewed from the ugly fish's mouth, instantly freezing all the balloons into a crystal-clear ice sculpture!

As the ugly fish continued to exert its strength, the ice sculpture and balloon shattered into countless ice crystals, instantly attracting everyone's attention!

"Amazing..." "So beautiful~"

The boys and girls at the scene reacted in completely different ways, but no one expected that Ugly Fish would end the competition in such a powerful and magnificent way.

"Next up is my turn." After Little Fatty's defeat, Water Lily stepped forward. "Can I race Ball Ball the Sea Lion in running and swimming?"

"No problem, I'll continue using Ugly Fish."

"Still using it?" Water Lily was stunned. Ugly Fish's special move might be powerful, but running... wouldn't that be a bit too much for a fish?

But when the competition actually started, the ugly fish's performance completely overturned Lily's understanding... It only relied on slapping the ground with its tail to jump forward, but it was faster than the Ball Ball Sea Lion!

Once it reached the current, the ugly fish was even more unstoppable, twisting its body and leaping out like an arrow, giving its opponent no chance at all!

Chapter 425 VS Kukui, the Special Rock Dog

"Sorry... Ball Ball Sea Lion, we lost..."

After the match, Lana bent down and picked up the little guy who looked dejected: "You tried your best, but Ash and Feebas are stronger."

"Yeah, why can a fish move so fast on land?" Kachi asked, somewhat doubting his own existence.

He has decided to postpone his big test.
