He knows Pokémon better than me.

After arriving at the destination, the students behind him dispersed and each looked for places that interested them.

There were some interesting stalls around the arena, and some locals were holding cockscomb-headed dolls that looked like Kapu Mingming and performing some traditional dance performances.

"Hey, that Pokémon is...?"

While wandering around casually, Xiaozhi noticed that there was a Miss Junsha patrolling near the arena, followed by a meerkat inspector who was over one meter tall.

This meerkat inspector went to the farm warehouse to eliminate rats not long ago, and now he is following Miss Junsha.
Is this a direct conversion to a regular employee after obtaining the establishment?
It's just a bit strange. This meerkat inspector has a bandage on his right ear, as if his ear is injured.

Could it be that he was bitten by Alola Rada that day?

"Miss Junsha, this is Inspector Mongoose's ears"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but walk forward and ask kindly.

"Hey, you're the new teacher who defeated Tapu Kokoro, right?"

Miss Junsha looked at Xiaozhi and recognized him immediately after seeing Pikachu on his shoulder.

After defeating the island guardian on the first day of school, Xiaozhi's fame has gradually spread throughout Melemele Island.

Teachers still have a very high status on the island, so Miss Junsha answered with a straight face:
"We were accidentally attacked by gangsters yesterday and our ears were injured."

When Xiaozhi heard it at first, he was shocked. There were people in the Alola region who were attacking with guns?
Could it be that the Skeleton Team's behavior was not right? They are just a group of thugs, they wouldn't pull out guns to attack.

After listening to Miss Junsha's explanation, Xiaozhi finally understood.

In fact, she was on routine patrol as a meerkat detective with her new partner yesterday, and a trumpet-pecker suddenly jumped out of the grass.

It seemed that he had some old grudge against Inspector Mongoose, and without saying anything, he fired the seed machine gun directly at Inspector Mongoose's head.

Fortunately, Inspector Mongoose subconsciously turned his head to the side, and was only grazed by the machine gun on his ear, and was not seriously injured.

Later, the trumpeterpecker was arrested on the spot. It seemed that it had colluded with the group of Rada that had been taught a lesson by Inspector Mongoose before, and came specifically for malicious revenge.

Xiaozhi: "."

Do the Pokémon of Alola also have so many grudges and hatreds?

Seeing that there was still some time left, Xiaozhi, who was strolling around, walked up to the island king Hala and challenged him to a battle again:
"Mr. Hara, I wonder when you will have the time for the great test of the island tour."

"Haha, Xiaozhi, I'm a little busy lately, so I can't accept your challenge for now."

Hala narrowed his eyes, raised his head and laughed, interrupting Xiaozhi's request in advance.

"But I can introduce you to the Queen of the neighboring Akala Island. She can conduct a big test at any time. If you need it, you can come to me at any time. I can arrange a yacht for you to go directly to Akala Island~!"

He then pulled out the queen of the island next door to use as a shield.

After Xiaozhi defeated Tapu Kokoro, he became famous in Melemele Island, but no one knew him on Akala Island!

"The queen of the island next door?"

"Wow Mr. Satoshi, are you going to challenge Miss Lizzie?! She's a beautiful and powerful island queen~!"

Kachi happened to stroll over and immediately interrupted excitedly:
"Please let me watch the game then!"

Xiaozhi nodded. Maybe Mr. Hala is really busy recently. He could try to see the level of the "strongest" on other islands first.

Seeing that Xiaozhi had diverted his attention, Hara finally breathed a sigh of relief and touched her big belly.

He didn't want to fight against the one who defeated Tapu Naruto at all!

"Alola, Ash~!"

At this moment, a cheerful voice of greeting suddenly came from behind.

Xiaozhi turned around and saw a man with dark skin and short pink hair. He was about 1 or 2 years older than him, wearing a neat white short-sleeved shirt and cropped pants, with a brown knitted vest on the outside. He looked like the son of a wealthy family.

Well, this skin color matched with the pink hair and the gentle demeanor makes her stand out in the crowd.

"Who are you.?"

Xiaozhi blinked. He should have seen the man in front of him before, but where?

Seeing that Xiaozhi seemed to have no memory of him at all, Ilima looked a little lost.

But on second thought, it makes sense.

He and Ash competed in the Unova World Championships together, but he was eliminated in the first few rounds.

However, Xiaozhi made it all the way to the finals, facing the Gigantamax of the former champion of the Galar region, and even defeated him in the end, winning the championship.

Ilima was at the scene of that game and was stunned.

I didn't expect to see the real person in the Alola region today! ?

Just now Ilima was a little bit unbelieving. After all, Xiaozhi's current appearance was a little different from what he remembered. It seemed like he had become a lot younger all of a sudden?
"Teacher Xiaozhi! This is Senior Ilima, an outstanding graduate of our Pokémon School!"

Beside him, Kachi excitedly introduced again.

"And Ilima, like Mr. Xiaozhi, has been to many places, participated in many large-scale competitions, and won many honors."

"Gentle and patient, he is the most popular senior in the school!"

Liliae, Mao and the others also gathered around and spoke and nodded seriously.

Senior Ilima is a very famous graduate in their school and is deeply admired by them.

We have even participated in league conferences in other regions and world championships, and achieved excellent results.

I just listened to the praises from my juniors, and they were praising me in front of Xiaozhi.
Ilima is already sweating profusely!

The locals in the Alola region might not know, but how could an outsider like Xiaozhi not know? !

In the league conference and the world championship, he just focused on participating, which was not considered a good result at all.

But the Xiaozhi in front of him has a championship trophy in each hand!

Ilima's face was already red and hot, but fortunately it was not so obvious because of his dark skin.

"Haha, I'm not as awesome as Kachi and the others say. I'm just an ordinary contestant!"

So he hurriedly laughed dryly to interrupt the flattery of Kachi and others. If they continued to flatter, his toes would tear the ground apart!

"Wow, you're awesome!"

But Xiaozhi hadn't reacted yet. After listening to the introduction of Kachi and others, he seemed to be a really incredible trainer. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Ilima: “.”

Looking at Xiaozhi's expression, he seems to be serious?!

"Alola, Ilima~ You already know each other, so I won't introduce you~"

At this time, Dr. Kukui came over with a smile, put a hand on Ilima's shoulder, and said to him:

"Xiaozhi, this is the Eevee expert I mentioned to you last time. It just so happens that he has returned to Melemele Island today to participate in the Full Power Celebration."

"You need the Z-Crystal for Eevee. Ilima might have some information~" (End of this chapter)
