He knows Pokémon better than me.

Whoosh!

It wasn't just the wave-like aura, there was also a sharp sound of breaking through the air coming from behind him, which made Xiaozhi's hair stand on end instantly.

Turning his head, he saw an arrow shot towards him, aiming at his forehead!
"?!"

Xiaozhi was shocked. Why did they aim directly at the vital parts? Even if it was Team Skull seeking revenge, it was too outrageous, right?

He subconsciously reached out to grab it, but when the arrow was about to touch his palm, it suddenly turned and flew towards the sky.

call out.!

After twisting 360 degrees in the air, the arrow turned sharply downward and finally pierced into the beach.

Xiaozhi was stunned. Did he miss the target?
But just as he moved, he felt as if there was a strange restraining force all over his body, and he could not move at all.

Looking in the direction of the arrow, he saw that it did not miss, but hit the head of his own shadow on the beach. He was aiming at the shadow in the first place!

"If I hit the shadow, can I imprison the target?!"

Xiaozhi quickly analyzed the principle of this arrow.

Moreover, when he looked closely, he found that this arrow not only had tail feathers at the back, but also feathers at the front. It was not a normal sharp arrowhead.

Shifting his gaze upwards, he finally saw clearly the person who shot the Arrow of Confinement.

Two people.
Or rather, it was a human girl and a humanoid Pokémon standing on a high beach slope not far away.

He had seen this Pokémon in the Rotom Pokédex not long ago. It was a bird-man-like creature, about 1.7 meters tall, with broad brown wings. When it folded its wings, it looked like it was wearing a long cloak that reached the ground.

The feathers around its head and neck are green, like a hood covering the top of its head, completely obscuring its face.

It is the final evolution of Mumuxiao, the Sniper Feather Owl!
Xiaozhi didn't expect to see this Pokémon in person so soon. It has a completely different style from the silly Owlbit, like a hidden elf archer in the forest.

At this moment, the sniper feather owl used the two green vines on the green hood as a string, pulled out a feather arrow from the inner wing, bent the bow and aimed at Xiaozhi again.

Only then did he realize that there were countless such arrows hidden in the broad and long wings of the Sniper Owl, and the tail feathers were the feathers on its body.

In contrast, the human girl next to Sniper Feather Owl looked much smaller.

This girl looks like she should be the same age as him?

She has a bright and beautiful face, wearing a small round straw hat, and her black hair is tied into two pigtails that fall to her shoulders.

She was wearing a sleeveless top and white shorts in the same color as Kapu Mingming, and a pair of rattan sandals, which was a perfect match for the tropical style of Alola.

The beautiful black-haired girl had a cold face under the moonlight. She stared with her eyes fixed, as if she would call on the sniper beside her to shoot the second feather arrow at any time.

"Who are you and why are you at my doorstep in the middle of the night?"

The pigtailed girl asked coldly.

She also had a medium-sized travel bag on her waist, probably because she had just returned from a trip.

Rotom finally caught up and was shocked by the scene before him.

"Beep! It's Sniper Feather Owl. And its unique move, Shadow Sewing Loto~!"

Rotom exclaimed, but he still introduced them instinctively.

Shadow Seam is a ghost-attribute move that does not attack the target directly, but rather the target's shadow, restricting the latter's movements. The arrow itself can even trigger an energy explosion, causing decent secondary damage.

The three starter Pokémons of the Alola region all have their own unique moves when they evolve to their final forms. The pigtailed girl glanced at Rotom and was slightly startled, revealing a strange look.

"Don't do it, we are all on the same side!"

Xiaozhi, who was imprisoned by the Shadow Seam, quickly raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.

Just by looking at Xiaozhi's actions, she realized it belatedly and was stunned again.

Wait, how can you still raise your hand?

In the past, the Sniper Feather Owl's Shadow Seam Confinement effect should have been able to confine even a strong human for at least five minutes.

However, the effect of Xiaozhi's Shadow Seam Confinement seemed to be completely non-existent. He bent down very naturally, pulled out the feather arrow in front of him, and played with it in his hand.

"Wow, there really are feathers on both sides?"

The confinement effect of Shadow Seam is indeed very strong, but after all, it is a ghost-attribute move, not a superpower move.
Xiaozhi used a little more strength and easily broke free from the shadow seam effect.

But the girl in front of him was the owner of this gloomy cabin, so Xiaozhi quickly greeted her.

"Alola~ I'm Satoshi from the Kanto region, currently living in Professor Kukui's house."

He also pointed to Dr. Kukui's cabin next to it.

This must be the person Mao mentioned, an expert who knows a lot about tree fruits and herbs. I didn't expect him to be so young.
Hearing this, the other party temporarily put away his guard, and the sniper feather owl beside him also lowered his wings.

But she suddenly seemed to have thought of something, her pretty eyebrows furrowed, and a strange look appeared on her face.

If I live in Dr. Kukui's house, doesn't that mean I'll just be sleeping in her old boarding house?
"My name is Man Yue."

Man Yue did not introduce himself in detail, nor did he shout out the classic "Alola" greeting of the Alola region. He just responded briefly to his name, and seemed to be very wary.

During the process, she was looking Xiaozhi up and down.

Barefoot, wearing shorts and a sweatshirt, he really looked like someone who lived nearby.

And the Z bracelet on my wrist
Man Yue probably believed what Xiaozhi said.

In the Alola region, only those recognized by the King/Queen of the Island can be awarded the Z Bracelet, so one's character is trustworthy.

"Wulu~!"

At this time, the Alola Mud in the wooden house seemed to sense the breath of its owner, and it also crawled out from the gap in the window and crawled towards the full moon happily.

Then he hugged Man Yue's slender, white long legs, and on one of his soft mud hands, he held a beige Z-pure crystal as if asking for credit.

"Generally speaking, Z? I understand."

Man Yue glanced at the Z bracelet on Xiaozhi's wrist, which was completely bare, and immediately understood why the latter was peeking at her door in the middle of the night.

So she patted the head of the stinky mud in a reproachful manner, then took the General Z, walked to Xiaozhi's side, and bent down to apologize seriously.

"I'm sorry, it was my stinky mud that accidentally took your Z-pure crystal."

"Uh, it doesn't matter."

Xiaozhi took his Z Pure Crystal without hesitation. He was a little uncomfortable with the other party's sudden serious apology.

Then Man Yue also shook her right hand, and she also had a Z bracelet on her fair wrist! (End of this chapter)
