He knows Pokémon better than me.

On the way to the Evergreen Gym, Xiaoxia suddenly remembered something and looked back at the crowd:
"Hey, where's Xiaoguang? Didn't she come with us?"

As someone who knew "Brother Chi", she naturally knew that this trip was not just an exchange and study at school, but also to help Xiaoguang create a body.

Although she has never met Xiaoguang, she has heard Xiaogang mention him many times and wants to meet him today.

Xiaozhi came back to his senses and said casually:

"Xiao Guang will be one more day late~it's not a big problem."

Xiaoguang is the winner of the Sinnoh League Tournament and is not a gym leader himself, so there is no need for him to rush to participate in this gym exchange and learning.

However, this made him curious and asked back:
"By the way, where's Xiao Mao?"

It's a rare occasion that I brought my students to his territory, but this guy didn't even come to pick me up at the airport to save his face?
"Oh~ Xiao Mao is already waiting for you at the Evergreen Gym~"

Xiaoxia replied with a smile, saying that she hadn't seen Xiaomao for a while.

However, after meeting today, I didn't expect that the latter seemed to have become a completely different person.

In the past, Xiaomao was as bad as fleas and liked to do things everywhere.
Now, although he looks young, Xiaomao's calmness in words and deeds reveals a maturity and stability beyond his age.

"Mr. Xiao Mao, the Master of the Evergreen Gym", this title is now popular among countless boys and girls in the Kanto area.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxia glanced at Xiaozhi secretly, feeling ashamed:

"This guy is exactly the same as when we first met 20 years ago! Maybe even younger?"

Of course, he looks young, but she knows that Xiaozhi's current strength in the field of Pokémon battles is completely different from his appearance!
Xiaogang was in the back, gathered together with Kachi and the others, and was introduced to the customs and culture of the Kanto region.

"Is this the city in the Kanto region?"

"It's completely different from the Alola region."

Along the way, Kachi, Mao and others looked around curiously, finding everything new.

After all, the big cities in Alola are basically seaside resort cities that focus on tourism and service industries.

Inland cities like Viridian City have a classical charm in their streets and architecture, which is not found in the Alola region.

Even when they occasionally see someone passing by on the street carrying a pangolin or a small fist rock, they would exclaim in surprise.

"Kanto's Geodude is bald!?"

"And the sand rats, uh, they look pretty fierce."

As a senior, Xiaogang took on the responsibility of explaining:

"This is the regional difference in form. Some Pokémon will evolve into different appearances and attributes in different regions~"

Everyone was stunned. These knowledge points had been taught in school before, but they were all knowledge from textbooks.

Schools rarely bring Pokémon with regional differences from the Kanto region for actual comparative displays.

Soon, everyone came to a rather strange classical building, which seemed somewhat out of place with the surrounding high-rise buildings.

At the front, there are several steps on both sides, with a fountain with a dragon head statue in the middle.

The Evergreen Gym is located on the steps and occupies a large area, about five or six times the size of a standard gym.

The gym is made of blue-gray bricks and stones, and the orange-red wooden decorations complement each other, making it look calm and solemn.

The arched gate in the center looks like the gate leading to a castle. On the squares on both sides in front stand neatly lined stone pillars, standing solemnly like loyal guards.

"Well, there used to be guards at the door."

Xiaozhi stopped in front of the gym and couldn't help but complain.

When he first came to the Evergreen Gym, there were two Spartan guards with spears and helmets standing at the door. After many twists and turns, he came here again.

“It seems very powerful.”

All the Alola people couldn't help but exclaimed.

Their Overlord Pokémon Trial or the Great Trial of the Island King can basically be started directly on a piece of land in the open air. There is no need to specially build a magnificent building.

"Come on, everyone, follow me in~"

Xiaozhi walked in front. He was familiar with the place and didn't need to knock on the door. He just pushed the door open and walked in.

The people behind immediately followed in a mighty force.!

Entering the Evergreen Gym, the battle venue is at the entrance hall, but it is pitch black all around and you can't see anything.

Deng!
At this moment, the sound of high-powered lights being turned on came from both sides, and the interior of the Evergreen Gym finally appeared clearly in front of everyone.

Under your feet is a standard battlefield. There is not much space around the edges, and there are very spacious areas on the second floors around the walls. There are even seven or eight rows of spectator seats on each side.

"A bit similar to the Royal Arena?"

Kachi looked around and thought to himself.

At this moment, there were already two figures waiting on the other side of the stadium.

On the left is a tall blond man with fair skin and glasses. There is a tuft of long, curly blue hair on his forehead that is particularly conspicuous, like a satellite orbiting the earth.

He was wearing a gray-white research robe with a stand-up collar, and a strange controller screen device was revealed at the wrists.

On the right is a boy of about thirteen or fourteen, wearing a black leather jacket and brown trousers, with unruly short brown hair.

He has a handsome appearance, a grin, and a somewhat cynical expression.

"Hey Xiaozhi, long time no see~"

Xiao Mao raised his hand and greeted coolly.

Akromah beside him also smiled and nodded slightly.

"Xiao Mao, and Mr. Akromah!"

Xiaozhi's heart was filled with excitement again and he walked over quickly. He really met a lot of old friends today!

By the way, Mr. Akromah has already arrived at the Evergreen Gym?

"Well, I've been here for almost a week~"

Akromah smiled calmly and gently, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

"Xiaozhi, you are getting younger and younger~"

Although there is a ten-year age difference between them, Akroma still values ​​this young man very much, with whom he had traveled and adventured in the Unova region.

Of course, Xiaozhi, who was familiar with the opponent, had no doubt that if Akroma opened his coat, there might be some dangerous weapons hidden inside that could threaten the entire area.
"Let me introduce you to everyone!"

Seeing that Kachi and the others also came up curiously, Xiaozhi stood in the middle again and introduced the two sides.

"This is the Evergreen Gym Leader, Xiao Mao."

"And this one is an inventor from Unova, Mr. Akrom, who is also my good friend~"

Xiaozhi waved to the other side again:
"These are my students in the Alola region. Oh, and Teacher Man Yue!" (End of this chapter)
