He knows Pokémon better than me.

Three days later, Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang arrived at Ula'ula Island.

After the incident at the Huiklani Observatory, the two returned to the quiet city of Marie.

After lunch, they simply packed their luggage and walked out of the Pokémon Center.

Since the trip to Ula'ula Island is basically to go to one place, then return to Malie City to rest, and then go to the next place. So you don't have to carry heavy luggage all the time.

Xiaozhi simply carried a bag on his back, with the Pokémon egg of Deoxys in it.

"I wonder when it will hatch?"

Beside him, Xiaoguang said expectantly, what will hatch out then may be a rare mythical Pokémon!
"Probably not so fast."

Xiaozhi shook his head. Although he couldn't be as precise as Ajin in terms of the exact number of weeks,
You can probably tell which stage you are at.

The giving of life to Deoxys is almost equivalent to laying a brand new egg, so the counting will naturally start from step 0.

A late blooming quasi-god needs several months to hatch.

The legendary beast would probably take at least half a year even if it moves around frequently every day, right?

Not in a hurry.

Now just pretend that the egg doesn't exist and put it in your bag without any worries.

Then Xiaozhi looked at the girl next to him. Today, Xiaoguang had changed out of the flower-dancing-bird style kimono dress she wore yesterday.

Instead, he changed into a pure white Alola commemorative shirt and denim shorts. On the shirt was a squashed Owl pattern.

It was said that they would go horseback riding outdoors today, so Xiaoguang changed into clothes that were convenient for movement.

The two waited at the southern exit of Malie City. Today they planned to go to the southernmost part of Ula'ula Island, a place called Kapu Village.

Xiaozhi had already made an appointment with a local to lead the way.

clatter! clatter!
As the agreed time approached, Xiaozhi suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, and the ground was shaking slightly, so he subconsciously looked up.

He spotted a huge brown wild horse slowly walking towards him from the southern outskirts of the city. Even when Xiaozhi stood up straight, he could only reach the latter's neck.

"so big.!"

Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. It was almost three or four times the size of the Flamehorse they knew!

The hair on the head of this brown wild horse was tied into brown dreadlocks and hung down like Nigo, and on its feet were red mud protective gear that looked like thick shoes, which made it look very heavy and bloated.

There is a blue riding saddle on the back of the giant horse, and a petite girl in a long skirt is sitting on it, which is full of visual impact!
"Hey~ Teacher Xiaozhi, I'm here~!"

Acerola greeted with a smile, a pale Mimikyu floating on her shoulder.

"Mimi~"

It stretched out a shadowy ghost claw from under its skirt and waved in greeting.

Unlike the Rocket Team's Mimikyu who likes to laugh sinisterly, this shiny Mimikyu appears to be very cute and lively.

"You must be the Hikaru that Mr. Xiaozhi mentioned on the phone. Welcome to our Ula'ula Island!"

Acerola also greeted Xiaoguang, but did not go down.

Well, it took her a long time to climb up the heavy mud and pull the horse. If she went down, it would probably take her a long time to fiddle with it again.

"Anyway, you two come up first~!"

Acerola pointed behind her and found that there was an empty seat.

Xiaozhi nodded, took the lead, grabbed the saddle, flipped it over and sat on it.

Then he reached down again, took Xiaoguang's hand and pulled him up, sitting in front of him. "Sorry, it's a bit narrow~"

Acerola apologized, saying that the back of the heavy mud draft horse is very wide, but the saddle is originally designed for a maximum of two people to ride.

I sat alone in the driver's seat, with Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang squeezed together in the back seat.
There was no way. She had just received a message from Xiaozhi last night saying that he needed to add someone temporarily, and there was no time to change the Riding Pokémon.

In order to experience the local customs and culture, Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang did not release Pokémon like Dreaming. They both wanted to try the feeling of pulling a horse with heavy mud.

"It's okay, just squeeze in."

Xiaoguang coughed awkwardly, and Xiaozhi also fell back almost to the horse's butt, so it was actually not that crowded.

Then the three of them rode on their heavy mud horses and headed towards the south of the island.

First we passed Route 11 adjacent to the quiet city of Malie. It was a flat field and the road was not long.

However, when they reached Route 12, it turned into a completely rugged and steep circular mountain road.

There are rugged, jagged, and sharp rocks everywhere along the way, which normally cannot be forced through.

Only with the help of the red mud protective gear on the four legs of the heavy mud draft horses can one successfully pass through this area.

rumble!

No matter how rugged and sharp the rocks were, they were flattened by the heavy mud horses and could be walked over without any problems.

“How amazing!”

Xiaozhi turned his head and looked down, and found that the draft horse had trampled out a smooth path in the heavy mud.

This form of riding is somewhat similar to the armored rhino riding in the Kalos region.

At that time, he and Serena were riding on an armored rhinoceros together, passing through the countless "rock spikes" mountain roads in front of the Shining Cave.

"Haha, the whole journey is expected to take an hour~! Along the way, you two can enjoy the unique scenery of Ula'ula Island. This is the only place in the entire Alola region that can have such scenery~!"

The driver, Acerola, was shouting and introducing the car in the front.

They had to go from the south of Malie City, go around the eastern mountain road and reach Kapu Village in the south.

This was also what Xiaozhi and Acerola had agreed on before.

So the two of them began to appreciate the surrounding scenery with curiosity.

Below is a Gobi mountain area, one side is the ocean, and on the other side, you can see a vast desert in the distance.
From time to time, sand would blow in and cover their faces with sand.

“I didn’t expect the terrain to be like this?”

Xiaoguang was secretly surprised. To the north were two consecutive high mountains, and to the east were Gobi and desert. The terrain of Ula Ula Island was quite diverse.

At this moment, Acerola suddenly remembered something and apologized:
"By the way, Mr. Xiaozhi, I'm sorry that I told you to fight the King of the Island directly before, but now the situation has changed."

"Mr. Merdan has been busy with work recently and is unable to accept the challenge for the time being."

At this point, Acerola felt a little guilty.

Busy work means a lot of sleep.

"But as long as you defeat the dominant Pokémon of Ula'ula Island, he will put aside his busy work and fight you in the Great Trial!"

Acerola quickly added.

"Are there any dominant Pokémon here? What attributes are they?"

Xiaozhi became interested, but he hadn't collected all the Z-pure crystals yet. (End of this chapter)
