Good morning, noon and night, hello, trainer

Fortunately, Charizard will not ignore any Pokémon. It will distribute food and ensure that every Pokémon has a full meal.

Old central air conditioning.

“It’s really like Big Brother in this respect.”

Miss Ho-oh Cailuan took the lunch bag and put the energy cubes into her mouth one by one.

Apparently, she was also given food by Charizard.

Lars: "..."

It seems like Cailuan hasn't stopped talking these past few days.

It's either Pokémon or Poké Beans, and now it's Energy Cubes.

Well, it would be interesting if it got too fat to fly.

"What bad things are you thinking about?"

Suddenly, a sharp gaze pierced Las.

Cailuan reached out and poked Las without hesitation.

I don't know who he learned this habit from. Gengar, who has been training with Grandma Kikuko recently, hasn't learned this habit yet.

"togepi~"

Togepi jumped over Lars's shoulder and hugged Cailuan's face.

It's almost a regular thing. After staying in Las for a while, I have to change to Cailuan.

Apart from that, I've developed a habit recently where I hang around Charizard at mealtimes.

It’s better to say that as long as it’s mealtime, there are few people who don’t hang around Charizard.

Even this meal time is Charizard's habit.

"Where's that machine of yours that can create all kinds of strange props?"

"Mashado said you always like to tinker with that thing, but why haven't I ever seen you take it out?"

Miss Cailuan was teasing and feeding Togepi, and seeing that Las was in a daze, she asked casually.

Las subconsciously looked at Machado, who was staring at Togepi with envy written all over his face.

Was it so early, when Machado started following him?

"Because it's too difficult to gather materials for the 500 level."

Iselin's voice suddenly came, answering the question for Lars.

After all, the materials created through Lasna's ability to take things through impressions cannot replace points, resulting in the prop printer being started less and less the more it is upgraded.

Unless you go to the 100 or 200 level to be a gambler.

"Hey, Iselin."

"How come you have time to get out of the lab for some fresh air today?"

But rather than worrying about the prop printer, Lars was more curious about the rare occasion he saw Iselin outside.

Works as an assistant to Professor Oak.

As a result, Dr. Oak only came to the backyard from time to time, while she was in the laboratory all day long.

"That's to make you a few more ball-locking devices!"

Iselin rolled her eyes.

Lars did remember it.

Because I felt that having only one was a bit unsafe, I wondered if I could make a few more, so I asked Professor Oak for help.

I didn’t expect that it was Iselin who was responsible in the end.

"After all, I was originally a member of Dr. Futu's team. I am more familiar with Dr. Futu's things than Dr. Oak."

"So we're out for a walk today because mass production is complete?" Lars asked.

"That's not the case. It's mainly because someone is looking for you."

Hearing this, Lars was also stunned.

Is someone looking for him?

But who in Pallet Town would come to see him at this time...

"Lars! Let's fight!"

As soon as I returned to Oak Laboratory, I saw the battle invitation sent by Xiaozhi.

Oh, no wonder, it turns out that Xiaozhi has returned to Pallet Town.

This time point should be the time in the animation when Satoshi came to Professor Oak to ask about the location and date of the Quartz Conference.

This is also the time in the original timeline when Mewtwo escaped from Team Rocket's base.

Also, Satoshi will meet Shigeru at Oak Laboratory, and then have a strong duel with Shigeru.

"Who are you looking for, Lars?"

Seeing Lars's eyes wandering around, Xiaozhi also became curious.

But the ones who followed him back to Pallet Town were only Misty, Brock, and Serena, right?

"Looking for Xiaomao, it seems Xiaomao hasn't come back!"

Lars lamented the difference between the current situation and TV.

"If you want to fight, then let's go to the backyard. This place is not a good place for fighting."

But for Xiaozhi's battle invitation.

Lars wasn't going to take no for an answer this time.

"Great! I also want to see the Pokémon I captured!"

After reaching a consensus, they quickly returned to the backyard of the Oak Research Institute.

Xiaozhi first called over all the Pokémon that he had captured and sent to the backyard to reminisce about the past.

There are quite a few Pokémon that have only appeared in one or two episodes on TV, and have never even been carried around by Ash.

But they are all very close to Xiaozhi.

For example, giant crab and stinky mud crab.

And those 30 Kentaros.

“Chirp!”

Noticing Xiaozhi, Articuno flew over immediately and started to be very affectionate with him.

But then again.

When Lars saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that Articuno was captured by Ash.

Articuno has basically been in the backyard of the Oak Research Institute, and everyone has forgotten about him.

"Hello! My name is Xiaogang!"

"The incomparable beauty you exude has completely penetrated my heart!"

Looking back, I found Xiaogang half-kneeling in front of Cailuan.

Her face is full of spring.

He stretched out his hands, wanting to hold Cailuan.

Then he was beaten by Machado.

"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment."

Cailuan smiled slightly and politely responded to Xiaogang's compliment.

Instantly revived with full health, Xiaogang wanted to get close to Cailuan again, but was beaten by Machado again.

"Alas?"

"That sister looks exactly like you did last time, Lars!"

Xiaozhi also suddenly noticed Cailuan's appearance.

After his reminder, Serena and Misty were also stunned, and then they realized that it was indeed the same method that Lars used in Viridian City.

Xiaozhi completely ignored the protection that Cailuan learned from Hongshuidu.

Is this the power of waveguide?

It seems that Ali's waveguide is completely no match for Xiaozhi.

"Ah! It's Togepi!"

"There's a Togepi too!"

But Xiaoxia was more excited about this.

Seeing Togepi on Cailuan's shoulder, he excitedly stepped forward to talk to her.

Only Serena stared at Lars and Cailuan back and forth with a puzzled look on her face.

"Lars, have you really learned the art of clones?"

Finally, he walked over quietly and asked in a low voice.

Lars: "..."

This is a bit confusing for him.

Where does this abstract doubt come from?

After thinking about it, he finally gave up. He never understood Serena's train of thought anyway.

So he looked directly at Xiaozhi.

"Ash, what kind of Pokémon battle are you preparing for?"

"How about 3v3?"

Serena: "Ignore!?"

It's not just Russ.

As soon as I heard the topic of battle.

Xiaozhi also ignored her.

Lars excitedly responded: "No problem!"

"Then let's have a 3v3 battle, Lars!"

"I've become much stronger now!"

Xiaozhi started warming up.

Lars didn't know why Ash wanted to warm up.

In short, if you want to have a simple 3v3 match with Xiaozhi, he has two very suitable Pokémon that will definitely be used in the battle.

But until then.

Lars glanced at the backyard.

Then he shouted in one direction: "Ali! Come here! There's a Pokémon battle here that needs you!!"

The Pokémon in the backyard of Oak Laboratory suddenly became quiet.

There was a brief wait.

Soon a louder voice came back!

"I already told you I'm not your personal referee!!!"
