He knows Pokémon better than me.

This afternoon.

Xiaozhi had just returned from class. He threw his backpack and socks aside and fell directly onto the sofa in the living room.

Now he is increasingly treating Kukui's home as his own home.

Of course, the main reason is Kukui
Now I spend less and less time at home, and I go to Akala Island every few days.

It seems that they are preparing to take down Dr. Barnett in one fell swoop.

So most of the time, Xiaozhi had the whole house to himself.

When he fell on the sofa, Xiaozhi suddenly remembered something and asked:

"By the way, Rotom~Have you sent today's email?"

"Beep! It was sent out at noon, Loto~!"

Rotom flew over, and a smug expression appeared on the screen:
"Including today, this is the ninth email I've sent~! But Mr. Royal Masked Man hasn't replied to Loto today~!"

Since Xiaozhi did not meet the Royal Masked Man last weekend on Akala Island, he has been looking for another opportunity to visit the latter.

In addition to visiting old friends and seniors, of course, I also want to have a long-lost exciting battle with this master!

So I kept sending emails and making appointments during this period.

However, in the previous eight letters, the royal masked man either fell ill or had urgent matters and declined his invitation to meet.

"It's not a big problem, let's continue the appointment~!"

Xiaozhi was not annoyed. He just had to ask Rotom to send the emails according to the formula every day. It was not a big deal.

But today, I gained something different.

"Beep! New email!"

Rotom's body suddenly trembled, and the email interface opened on the screen. This time, it was not a polite rejection for various reasons:

"Oh Xiaozhi, long time no see. You are in Melemele Island now, right? It happens that I have a tour there tomorrow, let's meet then, Loto!"

Upon hearing Rotom's voice recitation, Xiaozhi's eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up from the sofa with a somersault.

"Will we be able to see the Royal Masked Man tomorrow?!"

Finally I got an appointment with this busy man!
Then he ran out of the door in a hurry and found the hot cat who was exercising by breathing fire on the beach in front of him.

"Flame Meow, you'll be able to see the Blazing Roaring Tiger tomorrow!"

"Meow?!"

The golden eyes of the hot cat instantly became lively, and a lot of the hair on its back stood up.

It usually watches the live broadcast of the Royal Dome on TV and has become a die-hard fan of the Royal Masked Man and the Fiery Roaring Tiger.

Especially the scene where the flaming roaring tiger kicks a kid with one kick.
“Meow~!”

The eyes of the hot cat are extremely bright.

In its eyes, that is the number one flaming roaring tiger in the universe, right?

If he could defeat the opponent, the long-haired dog would be able to truly relax and not have to worry about him anymore.

Thinking of this, Yanremao was like a chicken with its blood pumped up, and he threw himself into active exercise again.

"Well, don't overdo it, or you'll be too weak tomorrow."

Xiaozhi could only give a helpless reminder and stand behind, accompanying Tornado in training.

He naturally understood what Yanremao was thinking, but the long-haired dog had already recognized Yanremao's strength and would not have any regrets.

But, Hot Cat simply wanted to do more.

"In that case, Emperor Yan, please, give me some special training!"

Xiaozhi turned around and looked at Entei who was standing next to the wooden house.

Emperor Yan nodded. He also valued the talent of this competitive little brother of the same nature.

Puff! Immediately, a mouthful of holy flame sprayed onto the body of the hot cat.

In an instant, the Heat Cat's fatigue disappeared completely, and even the flames it spewed out were much stronger than before.
Time quickly came to the afternoon of the next day.

After receiving the news, Liliae, Kachi and others gathered in front of Kukui's house early, whispering to each other and waiting.

You will soon be able to meet the Royal Masked Man in person!
Even Mamane was wearing the same mask as the Royal Masked Man.
He is a die-hard fan of the other party!

Even Gladion, who had just returned to the island, came here at this moment, curious about the Royal Masked Man——

What kind of sparks will this strongest person in the Alola region currently create with Xiaozhi?
"Ah! Brother!"

At this moment, Liliae noticed Gladion, covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed, then ran over to recognize him.

Gladion's cold face revealed a tender smile.

Of course, I still replied coolly:
"Oh, it's Liliae?"

Xiaozhi: "."

Why does Gladion sound like a middle school riddler every time he speaks?

The relationship between this pair of siblings is very close, especially Liliae, who admires her older brother very much.

He immediately pulled Gladion in front of his classmates and introduced him enthusiastically:

"Let me introduce you, this is my brother, Gladion~!"

Everyone nodded in understanding. The brother's temperament was completely different from Liliae's.

However, among the crowd, Kachi did not give Gladion a good look, and even looked at the latter warily.

Not long ago, when he was riding Charizard to Ula'ula Island to deliver goods, he saw Gladion hanging out with a group of Skull Team members.

Well, even the black clothes they are wearing are the same color as the Skeleton Team.

This must be Liliae's corrupted elder brother!

"."

Noticing Kachi's wary look, Gladion didn't bother to curry favor with him. He didn't want to hang out with these people from the Pokémon school in the first place.

"Ah, everyone."

This put Liliae in a dilemma for a moment.

Fortunately, Xiaozhi came over, and then without any hesitation, he hooked one hand around Kachi's neck, and hooked the other hand around Gladion's neck in a very familiar manner and pressed down.

"Haha~! Anyway, we'll all be friends from now on~!!"

This sudden move actually eased the atmosphere a lot.

Especially Gladion and Kachi, who were both held by the neck, had less confrontational expressions on their faces.

Liliae immediately gave Xiaozhi a grateful look.

As expected, it’s Teacher Xiaozhi!

"."

Man Yue, who was watching the whole process from behind, couldn't help but change her expression.

Xiaozhi, a social butterfly who is very outgoing, is a disaster!
The farce did not last long. According to the time agreed in the email, soon, loud cheers were heard from the direction of the street near the beach.

Xiaozhi looked over quickly and found that there were a dozen nearby residents approaching their direction.

They were surrounded in a cluster, and in the middle was a figure who was obviously taller than the others.

He was shirtless and wore a fiery red mask with some patterns of other colors on it, with only a beard around his chin showing.

He has a strong and muscular body, with clear and distinct muscle lines.

The lower body is wearing black tights and white boots commonly seen by wrestlers.
Xiaozhi's breathing tightened, and his heart surged:

"Here comes the Royal Masked Man!" (End of this chapter)
