He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 3366 Christmas Eve Invitation

One evening, on the beach.

"Werewolf, use rock blade!!"

Gladion commanded his night form of Lycanroc to hammer out a long string of sharp stone blades on the beach, spreading towards Xiaozhi.

On the other side, Xiaozhi called out a low-power move:
"Mane Rock Werewolf, use Rock Rush!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the werewolf in front of him, who looked like dusk, jumped out from the dim light in an instant, covered in silver-gray light, like a speeding meteor.

The rock-rushing trick, which originally had only the power of a flash of lightning, was now extremely powerful, with an unstoppable wild impact.

Rumble——! !

The loud noise shook the air and actually shattered all the protruding stone blades along the way, causing gravel to fly everywhere, with a terrifying noise.

However, after breaking all the sharp rock blades, Chongyan's move had exhausted its power and was knocked back by the Night Mane Werewolf's punch, so the move did not work.

"How can it be?!"

This scene alone was enough to shock Gladion.

Could it be that the impact rock could offset the sharp rock blade?

Not only that, the wild aura around Xiaozhi's Wolfman seemed to be much more violent than usual, as if it was ready to explode at any time.

Although everyone has red eyes, the other person's eyes are darker, as if blood is about to drip from his eyes.

"Tsk, no success?"

Xiaozhi frowned, feeling a little regretful.

There is nothing wrong with the training direction of Lycanroc Super Rage, but the degree of improvement is still much lower than that of Infernape.

Of course, it is much higher than the increase in power of an ordinary Nightmane Werewolf when it goes into a frenzy.

"That's true."

Xiaozhi whispered to himself as he looked at Gladion's favorite general.

The daytime version of Lycanroc gains a unique move, Rock Rush.

The Night-Looking Werewolf has no unique moves, but instead has the special ability to enter a berserk state.

The Duskmane Werewolf combines the strengths of both, mastering both the rock charge and the berserk state!

The two's training battle continued until nightfall, and the beach became quiet under the dim light.

Xiaozhi then stopped and continued to attack.

"That's enough for today, Gladion."

He said loudly, retracting his Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Today is just training, not a formal battle, so there is no rush to determine the winner.

"I see."

Gladion nodded and put his Zoroark back.

Before leaving, he bowed politely and expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xiaozhi. I have benefited a lot from it."

During this period, in addition to the students from the school who came to seek advice, even Gladion came to visit.

Of course, unlike others who only considered reaching the semi-finals as a success, Gladion had two goals.

Win the first Alola League Championship!

And, defeat Xiaozhi!!
However, Gladion is also aware of his current strength and is definitely no match for Satoshi.

So he put aside his pride and humbly asked Xiaozhi how to become stronger, making no secret of his desire for strength.

Xiaozhi naturally wanted it very much, as he just happened to be lacking a sparring partner for his special training, and Gladion's strength was just right.

Especially the Pokémon that the latter brought——

The night-like Lycanroc, Umbreon, Zoroark inherited from his father, and the artificial Pokémon Silverbringer and the artificial Pokémon Porygon-B.
Each of them was quite powerful, and was clearly a notch stronger than Kachi, Hau, and the others. There was no need to teach them verbally, and for Gladion, Xiaozhi chose to go straight to the point and let the Pokémon battle do the talking.

Seeing that the night had completely fallen and the stars were dotted all over the sky, Gladion was ready to leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at Man Yue, who was sitting on the doorstep behind him grinding herbs alone, and subconsciously asked:
"By the way, don't Mr. Xiaozhi and Man Yue have any activities today?"

These two should be a couple, right?

At that time, Gladion also witnessed the scene in the early morning when Man Yue, dressed in a messy manner, jumped out from the second floor of Xiaozhi's house.

Now the two of them no longer have to hide it and just live together!
"Hey, Lilia."

A complex emotion flashed across Gladion's eyes, and he secretly felt sorry for his sister.

He could see that his sister had a great admiration for Teacher Xiaozhi.

It's not just a teacher-student relationship, there seems to be a more special emotion.

But now the latter can no longer become his brother-in-law, right?
such a pity!
Otherwise, even if he couldn't defeat the opponent, at least he could still surpass Xiaozhi in terms of status!

"Today? Are there any activities today?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Xiaozhi scratched his head in confusion and subconsciously looked back at the full moon.

Coincidentally, the latter also raised his head and looked at him with his cold eyes for a moment.

Then, Man Yue quickly lowered her head and continued to grind the herbs in her hands, as if she didn't care about anything around her at all.

Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

I took another look at the wooden house next door, which was decorated with colorful Christmas ribbons.
Of course, these things could not have been installed by the straight man Dr. Kukui.

Now that there is a woman in the family, Dr. Barnett naturally decorated their love nest with some warm decorations to add a sense of festive ceremony.

“Oh yeah, it’s Christmas again.”

Xiaozhi suddenly realized and whispered to himself, with a hint of emotion on his face.

Time flies, another year has passed.

He remembered that he had spent last year's Christmas in the Kalos region with Serena, Citron and others.

At that time, I happened to be traveling to Yingxue City, which was a city covered in silver, which was very suitable for the scene.

The last time was in the United States.
I wonder where I will be this time next year?

Thinking far ahead.
When I returned to the present, Gladion had quietly walked away.

He hasn't been home for a long time. Tonight, he wants to go home and spend time with his family.

Under the night sky, the wind blew past the beach. Looking back, I saw that the shape of the full moon almost overlapped with the darkness, looking cold and lonely.

This suddenly gave Xiaozhi an impulse!
So he walked up to the latter without hesitation:

"Man Yue, are you free now?"

"Now?"

Man Yue finally stopped what he was doing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed a little surprised.

But his expression soon softened, and he seemed to be looking forward to Xiaozhi's next words.

Tonight, the neighboring city of Haole is holding a lot of festival activities.

"If you have time"

Xiaozhi scratched his head and then invited seriously:

"Come and have a Pokémon battle with me! You are also going to participate in the League Conference, it's time to give your Pokémon some special training!"

"."

Man Yue's expression was frozen and he was silent for a long time.

It doesn’t seem so surprising!
