He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 2996 Settled in Kukui Research Institute!

"Not bad, this is my home~!"

Walking up to the wooden house, Kukui put his hands on his hips and introduced it proudly.

"."

Xiaozhi did not answer, but stared blankly at the door of the wooden house, still thinking about Professor Oak's promise in his mind.

I can only say that he is worthy of being a fellow villager, and he is the one who is being cheated!

Since it was impossible to build the house directly on the soft sand, a solid foundation was laid at the bottom of the house, and several steps were installed outside to reach the front door.

As the two men walked to the front door of the cabin, a figure jumped out from inside, accompanied by bursts of spirited dog barking.

Xiaozhi looked closely and found that it was a light brown puppy with bent ears, and the tips of the ears, mouth and paws were tan.

The neck and tail are covered with thick, fluffy gray hair, and there seem to be some stones stuck to the hair on the neck.

"Yan-ao~! Yan-ao~!"

The light brown puppy smelled Kukui from a distance and rushed over excitedly, wagging its tail.

"Oh! Thank you for watching the house today, Rock Dog~!"

Dr. Kukui rubbed the rock dog's head, and the latter immediately wagged its tail even more excitedly.

It was not afraid of strangers. When it saw the stranger next to it, it immediately jumped into Xiaozhi's arms, forcing him to half-squat down and hold the rock dog's front paws.

"Is this Alola's dog? So enthusiastic."

Xiaozhi smiled and rubbed the dog's head. The rock dog stuck out its tongue and even rubbed Xiaozhi's face with the rock on its neck, giving people a rough and even painful feeling.

"Beep! Rock Dog, a rock attribute, is very approachable and likes to rub people with the rocks on its neck. But these rocks are very sharp and will cut Trainer Lotor~!"

Rotom immediately introduced.

Of course, with Xiaozhi's physique, even if the rock on the rock dog's neck was worn off, it might not be able to cut it.

"So Dr. Kukui, is this your rock dog?"

Xiaozhi quickly held the Rock Dog in his arms and pointed the dog's head at Kukui.

"No, this Rock Dog is a Pokémon I took in before. One time, it suddenly passed by my house alone and injured."

Kukui explained that after the dog recovered from its injuries, it stayed to guard the door of his house.

He did consider taming the rock dog, but that is beside the point.
"Anyway, let's go in quickly~"

Kukui happily opened the door.

Xiaozhi followed behind, always feeling that something was unreliable.

He had already seen the cross patch on the wooden door, and when he looked from the side, there were also some traces of repaired wooden patches on the roof and walls.

It looks like it's been hit by unknown explosions frequently. Is this still a dangerous building? !
However, after pushing the door open, Xiaozhi's eyes lit up.

There were no wallpapers or tiles in the entire house. The walls and floors were all original brown wood grain. The large ceiling space above made the house look extremely spacious, especially since there were only two of them living there at the moment.

On either side of the entrance is a dining table and an open kitchen, where food and sundries are piled up.

On the other side are the sofas and TV, which is a place for daily leisure and chatting.

Further in, there is an open space covered with carpet, with some stuffed toys randomly placed around.

"Yanao~!"

The rock dog pounced directly, bit a gray doll that looked like a cat, and started to bite and kick its legs. It was obvious that this was its usual playground.

"Buyi." Seeing this, Ibrahimovic also became interested. He bravely approached and fiddled with a scattered ball of fluff.

There is also a giant aquarium tank built in the center of the house, connecting the floor and the roof, with two love-shaped fish swimming in it.

"My room is over there, and your room is up there, Xiaozhi."

Kukui pointed to a high platform nearby. It was not a room in the conventional sense, but a two-story platform. It was a small attic with no shelter, and one even had to climb stairs to get up there.

It was Xiaozhi's first time to encounter this kind of "room", so he quickly climbed up.

It's like this is a small secret base up there, and people on the first floor can't see what's going on up there.

Although the distance to the ceiling is a little close, the space in this small attic is still quite spacious. In addition to the sofa bed, some sundries and tables placed in the corner, the middle can accommodate at least five or six people sleeping side by side.

"Someone else lived up there before. But don't worry, I cleaned it up yesterday!"

Kukui raised his voice slightly and gave a warning from below.

Speaking of this, he was actually a little worried that Xiaozhi would not be able to accept it.

If you want a big hotel, there is only one in the neighboring Haole City, but the accommodation fee is not cheap.

Kukui, who is short of money, is currently trying hard to save money for his wife.

“I feel great here~!”

However, Xiaozhi had no objection to this. It was the first time for him to live in such an environment and it was quite novel.

He is not a spoiled person and he is not obsessed with a big hotel bed. As he often travels outdoors, a bed bag is enough for him. Why does he need a bicycle?

Come to think of it, Pikachu hasn't blown up any bicycles in the Alola region yet?

"Buyi~!"

Ibrahimovic had already jumped onto the sofa bed and was sniffing around, looking for his own exclusive bed.

After arriving in the Alola region, the little guy's mood was obviously much better.

Perhaps it was because all the tragic experiences in the past happened in the Kanto region, and now that we have moved to a new region, those memories seem to have been lost.

"Pickup.!"

Pikachu threw his head on the sofa and fell asleep.

Don't wake it up before dinner!

After a while, Xiaozhi had already put the luggage and clothes in the small attic. He put his hands on his hips, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction.

The next place is my home!
"Thinking about it carefully, this place seems to be quite nice?!"

After all, there must be a lot of people around the hotel, it's too messy.

As soon as you open the door of this house, you will see a wide view and beautiful beach coastline outside.

Although this beach is not very famous and has not been developed, it does not mean that the environment here is bad.

You don’t have to walk far for daily Pokémon training. There is an open beach outside the door, and you don’t have to worry about being watched by passers-by.

It is not far from the school, only about 15 minutes away.

It’s a nice place!
Xiaozhi couldn't help but recall the time he spent in the Ripple Town Villa when he was traveling in the Unova region. The environment was quite similar to here.

After cleaning up everything, Xiaozhi went down the stairs and saw Kukui's back busy in the kitchen.

"Don't worry, Xiaozhi, I'll make you a welcome dinner right away~!!"

Just watching Kukui busying around, with flames rising from the iron pot from time to time and dyeing the walls red, Xiaozhi began to doubt Kukui's cooking skills!
