He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 3146: Challenge Tapu Kokoro! ?
After a while, Xiaozhi invited Liliae and her siblings into the house.

As for Man Yue, she had already run back to her home.

He closed the door tightly, as if he was planning not to go out for the next half month.

Liliae and Gladion sat in front of Xiaozhi, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Gladion even tickled his cheek. A man and a woman were alone together, and the woman jumped out of the window and ran away early in the morning. Uh, it's hard to associate it.

Liliae put on a serious face and asked directly:

"Teacher Xiaozhi, what are you and Miss Man Yue like?"

Looking around, Teacher Kukui is not at home either.

Xiaozhi scratched his head. He had just promised Man Yue not to tell anyone, so he simply answered truthfully:

"I promised Man Yue that what happened last night would be a secret!"

The two siblings across the table: “?”

What secret happened last night?!

Gladion's mouth twitched, and he could only smile awkwardly:

"Uh, Mr. Xiaozhi, isn't it too early at this age? Of course, you are free to do whatever you want, it actually has nothing to do with us~"

Liliae kept blinking, her doubtful look gradually becoming clear:

"I see! Mr. Xiaozhi and Ms. Man Yue must have stayed up all night last night to prepare new lessons, and then they are going to give us a surprise!"

Gladion patted his little sister's shoulder and sighed.

I really hope Liliae can always keep such pure thoughts.

Seeing that Xiaozhi did not deny it, Liliae became more certain of her guess and immediately showed a happy smile.

I’m looking forward to Teacher Xiaozhi’s new course!

The incident of Man Yue came to an end. Xiao Zhi made a cup of tea for each of the two guests and asked curiously:
"What do you want from me so early in the morning?"

Could it be that he is here for combat training again?
"I'm here to challenge you. Of course, my target this time is not Mr. Xiaozhi."

Gladion said, now addressing Satoshi as teacher more fluently.

"I plan to challenge the island guardian of Melemele Island, Tapu Kokoro!"

"I heard that Mr. Xiaozhi and it have fought before. I want to know how to meet it!"

Gladion is eager to become stronger, and in addition to Xiaozhi, he also sets his sights on the island guardians on the four islands.

However, the four guardian gods are mysterious and difficult to find, let alone challenge them.

So he came to Xiaozhi specifically to learn from him, hoping that he could challenge Tapu Kokoro today.

After knowing her brother's idea, Liliae also clamored to come and watch and cheer.

"Oh, do you want to challenge Tapu Kokoro?"

Xiaozhi understood that Tapu Kokoro's strength was much stronger than the average second-level god.

Although Gladion's strength is already quite outstanding among his peers, it is still difficult for him to face Tapu Kokoro.
"I have confidence! Anyway, Mr. Xiaozhi, please help me contact him!"

But Gladion seemed quite confident today, speaking passionately.

Xiaozhi nodded. The Nocturnal Garou was obviously much worse. He should be planning to use the artificial Pokémon that looked like a Stitched Monster with shackles on its head, right?
It looks like that Pokémon has made some kind of breakthrough?
"I don't know the specific process, but I can help you try to call Tapu Kokoro!"

Xiaozhi agreed on the spot, and then added:
“Of course, success is not guaranteed.”

Gladion's eyes suddenly brightened and he nodded.

"That's enough!" "Wait for me a moment, I'll put on my clothes."

So Xiaozhi changed his clothes quickly. Today he was just leading the way, so he didn't need to prepare anything special. He was putting on his shoes at the door within a few minutes.

The three of them walked out of Kukui's house. When they passed by the small wooden house next door, Xiaozhi enthusiastically knocked on the door:
"Man Yue, do you want to go see Tapu Kokoro together?"

But after filming for a while, there was no response for a long time
Xiaozhi shrugged and didn't force it. This woman was indeed very strange.

Then they left the beach and walked into the town. Xiaozhi also stopped at Eina's Restaurant to buy some breakfast bread and ate it while walking.

"This is a special dish I created based on the well-known Great Demon King in the Kalos region~!"

Before leaving, Mao's brother Ulu enthusiastically introduced his new masterpiece.

"."

Xiaozhi looked at the dark red hedgehog-shaped bread in his hand, with some spiky crispy crust on one side, and his face couldn't help but be silent for a while.

Why does it look a bit like Bucarilon?

After leaving the town, Xiaozhi led the Gladion siblings northward, crossed Route 1, and soon arrived at the town of Lili.

This posture even scared the island king Hala.

Did you think that Xiaozhi was going to challenge you so early in the morning, and even brought the audience with him?

"I plan to summon Tapu Kokoro"

After hearing their intentions, Hala heaved a sigh of relief and allowed them to go to the war ruins.

This was not Xiaozhi's first time here. He led the two siblings through the town and walked onto a narrow suspension bridge.
The suspension bridge was shaking due to the air currents and it looked like it had not been maintained for a long time and it seemed like it would break at any time.
Gladion said softly to his sister:

"Lilia, just wait for us here."

"Ah."

Liliae swallowed and didn't try to be brave.

Xiaozhi was a little surprised to see this, he didn't expect that Gladion, who was always cold, would have such a gentle tone.

So the two of them crossed the suspension bridge. They were both brave people and did not feel there was anything to be afraid of.

Walking across the narrow suspension bridge, the relics of war come into view.

There was a stone arch outside, with all kinds of strange patterns painted on the walls. Xiaozhi vaguely remembered that there seemed to be similar patterns on Tapu Kokoro's body.

Stepping inside, there is an open-air sacrificial platform——

When he won the All-Out Celebration and got the Z bracelet, he prayed here with Mr. Hala.

It is said that one can communicate and call out to Tapu Kokoro here.

The two looked at each other, then walked up the stone steps to the altar.

Following Xiaozhi's eye signal, Gladion also understood and walked solemnly to the middle of the sacrifice, facing the wall that resembled a peacock's tail.

"My name is Gladion, the guardian of Melemele Island. Today, I challenge you!"

"My courage is like a raging fire, and my determination is like a great wall of steel. Tapu Kuku, let me break the shackles of fate and show your glory!"

Gladion then chanted a long passage in a very eloquent manner.

With an exaggerated and high-pitched tone, his face was full of indignation.

Xiaozhi: "."

Liliae's brother is still so humorous.

As the middleman, Xiaozhi finally concluded with one sentence:
"Come out quickly, someone is here to challenge us!"
