He knows Pokémon better than me.

The next day, Pokémon School.

In class, Xiaozhi did not stand on the podium today, but stood at the back as an auditor.

At this moment, in addition to Kukui, there was also a white-haired woman on the podium.

She was in her twenties, pretty, with long white hair tied up with a green headband and healthy dark skin.

She was wearing a short-sleeved suspender shirt and shaping leggings, with a loose coat tucked into her waist. It looked like a diving suit?

After landing, he did not take it off, but simply took off his shirt and tied it around his waist.

"Ahem, everyone be quiet for a moment. Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Barnett!"

Kukui coughed in front of the podium, his expression much more serious than usual.

Barnett is not an academic doctor who stays in the research institute all year round. From the diving suit he wears, it can be seen that he often goes outdoors and has a very outgoing and free-spirited personality.

"Hello everyone, my name is Barnett. I am currently researching Pokémon from all over the world. I have a research institute in Kangdai City on Akala Island. I often go out for field trips, and I especially like diving and surfing!"

Barnett put her hands on her hips and introduced herself with a smile.

Under the stage, Xiaozhi stood between Kachi and Mamane, quite puzzled.

Is this Dr. Kukui, the one who often goes to the neighboring island to discuss research?

But why did Dr. Kukui look so nervous today? Although his face was tense, his face and ears were visibly red.

"Hehe~ This one is the one of Mr. Kukui~"

Beside him, Mamane smirked at Xiaozhi, raised his pinky finger and whispered.

Xiaozhi blinked, not understanding the meaning of Mamane's actions.

"As for why Professor Kukui invited me to the Pokémon School today, it was actually to give you an outdoor class."

Hearing this, everyone perked up.

"This is it, I call it an outdoor riding device~!"

Barnett took out a green device similar to a slider phone from his arms, with a Poké Ball connected to the top.

"Riding device?"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but look at Kukui. He must have lent him this thing before.

"Pokémon riding is actually not uncommon in the Alola region. Riding Pokémon and asking them to do things that we humans cannot do is even possible in the classroom. In fact, some students should have used it more or less on a daily basis."

Dr. Barnett looked at everyone.

In the audience, Kachi nodded. He rode a Charizard across the island to go to class every day.

Shui Lian next to her also nodded. When she had nothing to do, she would ride the dragon she raised at home to go fishing in the coastal area.

There are also the Kentaro group that was knocked unconscious by Xiaozhi at the beginning of the school. These are also riding Pokémon raised in the Pokémon School.

"The purpose of today's class is to give you a complete and systematic introduction to Pokémon Riding, and even to let you actually use this machine~"

Barnett said with a smile, pulling down the whiteboard next to him, on which various types of Pokémon rides had been marked in advance.

For each riding style, a specific mount Pokémon is also selected.

"For example, for daily riding and long-distance travel, you can use the mount Kentaro."

"And the long-haired dog, with its keen sense of smell, can also use its sense of smell to find buried treasures while riding."

"Riding a heavy mud horse, you can pass through rugged mountain roads." Riding on the ground alone is divided into three categories.

Especially the Shaggy Dog Riding. There are good things buried in the underground of Alola, such as Z Pure Crystal. If you ride the Shaggy Dog around every day, you might get some unexpected gains!

"On the water, you can swim with a dragon, spray with a megalodon, and surf with a giant flying fish~!"

Dr. Barnett then introduced three more types of Pokémon rides, which perked up Shuilian.

Swimming on a dragon is the most common activity, and you can also go sailing on the sea and fishing.

The Megalodon Jet can use the Megalodon's powerful impact force to smash the reefs on the sea surface. For example, there are many such reefs around the Ten Carat Hill. If you use the Dragonite normally, you will be blocked outside by the rocks and unable to enter the mountain.

As for the giant fin flying fish surfing, this is a very popular sport in the Alola region.

"There are also fire-breathing dragons flying and super-strong thrusts."

The rest are some functional Pokémon rides.

Even pushing hard doesn't count as riding—

The monster holds the trainer with its lower two hands and uses its upper two hands to push rocks.

"I see."

Xiaozhi suddenly realized and understood.

In the past, these things had their own secret tool moves, but the Alola region has tied these moves to specific Pokémon.

Everyone around started talking about it.

For example, Kentaro is riding a bike. Although Kentaro is very powerful when charging, it can actually replace Super Strength and use its horns to push heavy rocks?
"Although these Pokémon rides have existed for a long time, they have never been systematically improved. I invented this Pokémon ride device so that trainers can use Pokémon rides as soon as they need them."

Dr. Barnett shook the small device in his hand and returned to the topic.

"Next, follow me to the playground downstairs, and I'll show you~!"

As they spoke, everyone followed Kukui and Dr. Barnett out of the classroom and headed outside.

Xiaozhi understood what Dr. Barnett was going to do. By pressing the riding device, he would release his riding partner like a Poké Ball, which was very convenient.

After a while, everyone came to the playground behind the teaching building.

Barnett also started the riding device in her hand, and with a "bang", a Kentaro appeared in front of her.

Moreover, it was a Kentaro with a saddle already installed on its back, ready to roll over at any time.

Seeing that no one looked too surprised, after all, this was just a Poké Ball.

Even Kachi can now raise his hand and release his Ride Charizard.

Barnett was not in a hurry and continued to press the device in her hand:
"It's not just Kentaro."

Then there were the sounds of several Poké Balls bouncing off each other, and then a long-haired dog and a heavy mud horse appeared in front of her.

This time, everyone finally showed surprise on their faces.

"That's the benefit of this riding device. It can load eight types of Pokémon to ride at one time, which means it can release up to eight types of Pokémon."

"The most important thing is that it does not take up the trainer's quota of six Pokémon~!"

Hearing this, even Xiaozhi's expression changed this time.

This means that with this riding device, the trainer can bring 6+8 Pokémon at once?! (End of this chapter)
