He knows Pokémon better than me

early morning.

Zhanlan City, the shop of secret medicine.

Leaving the Whirlpool Islands and stepping into this city, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia also successfully found this small shop that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

The storefront doesn't look big, and the decoration is shabby, like entering a black shop.

"This is the secret medicine that Ms. Ami ordered~ Dianlong eats it, and you will be alive and kicking again in a few minutes~"

The manager of the secret medicine shop is a short, fat man with sunglasses and a mysterious appearance.

It's full of philistinism, like an unscrupulous peddler selling dog skin plasters on the side of the road.

"Thanks."

Xiaozhi took the secret medicine and put it carefully in his backpack.

It doesn't matter, he is just helping to deliver the secret medicine, and is not responsible for testing whether the source is reasonable or not.

Bring it back and you're done.

...

Out of the secret medicine shop.

Zhanlan City is a seaside beach city, and the ground under his feet is as soft as sand.

Looking up, in the distance, you can still see the ocean in the east of Zhanlan City.

That's the direction they came from.

The western part of Zhanlan City is said to be contracted by a real estate developer, and it is said that some big event is being held in full swing these days.

"Our boat ticket back to Asakonion City is at five o'clock in the afternoon~"

Beside, Xiaoxia hummed a little song and said.

The mood is obviously very happy, and from time to time he still hugs Bokby in his arms, just hula dancing in place.

Because I was in the Whirlpool Islands before, looking at Xiaoxia eagerly beside me, that mother Rogia finally flew out another feather, which turned into a string of small bracelets made entirely of sea water, and presented it to the former.

Sea bracelet.

Although it doesn't have the magical ability to subdue Pokémon like the silver feather pendant on Xiaozhi's chest.

But wearing it in the palm of your hand will still give you the comfort of bathing in sea water.

Xiaoxia has already planned to use it as a family heirloom of their Hualan gymnasium.

As for the tickets...

Ami finally remembered that Xiaozhi and Xiaozhi had not been given stamps yet, and had just sent the QR code to Xiaozhi's illustration book just before.

The Whirlpool Islands have no worries, and they can go back directly by boat on the return journey.

"That means I still have about half a day to challenge the Zhanlan Gym here...!"

Xiaozhi clenched his fists, his eyes were fiery.

There is still a gymnasium in this place.

Immediately, the two stopped hesitating and headed towards the northwest of Zhanlan City, the Zhanlan gymnasium indicated on the map...

...

...

Zhanlan Gymnasium, like Kikyo Gymnasium and Yuanzhu Gymnasium, are all ancient wooden buildings with tiled roofs that look like traditional ashrams in the Chengdu area.

The four-corner fence outside forms a courtyard, and a gate opens on the front.

Seeing that the courtyard gate was open, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia exchanged glances and stepped inside.

Soon, a middle-aged strong man walked up to him.

The upper body is naked, with thick and muscular muscles, and the lower body is the white exercise uniform of a fighter, tied quietly with a belt.

He has short brown hair with three split ends raised in front of his forehead, and two brown beards growing around his mouth.

But when it comes to being strong, it's not like that.

It's more like the puffiness of a middle-aged person. Even if you observe carefully, you can know that the abdomen is not abdominal muscles, but a slightly protruding beer belly.

"Hello, I'm the trainer of Zhanlan Gym, Ah Si!!"

The middle-aged man's voice was deep and thick, and he naturally introduced.

Xiaozhi was overjoyed when he found the target as soon as he came up, and quickly reported his background.

"I am Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town, and this is my partner Pikachu. We are here to challenge Zhanlan Gym and get badges!!"

"Pickup...!"

Pikachu on his shoulders also cooperated with his cheeks, sparking a burst of lightning.

"Is it really a new town...?"

Hearing the key words, Ah Si's eyes narrowed, as if he was recalling something.

This appearance made Xiaozhi ask curiously:

"Mr. Ah Si, have you ever been to Zhenxin Town?"

Ah Si shook his head.

"I remember a young man from Zhenxin Town who cultivated his Dao Heart with me a while ago. He is undoubtedly an excellent piece of jade..."

Saying that, Ah Si nodded again in satisfaction.

"That boy, his Dao heart is now pure, and there will be no disturbances due to external things. Oh, his name is Xiaomao, and he should be about the same age as you."

Xiaozhi: "!?"

It turns out that Xiaomao came to the Chengdu area in advance, and he said that he is practicing meditation, so this is here?

It's just that the Xiaomao Ah Si mentioned is completely different from the Xiaomao he knew.

Dao heart innocent?

No, it was still alive and kicking a few days ago.

Even the esoteric stunt such as beating people along the network cable has been created.

Xiaozhi even wondered if this guy, Xiaomao, often played high-intensity battles with others on the Internet?

"Since you want to challenge our Zhanlan Gym, come with me."

Soon, Ah Si returned to the topic and led the two of them towards the interior of the gymnasium.

"I won't show mercy to you just because you are Xiaomao's friend."

Hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes were even more fiery.

"I can't ask for more."

...

Next, several people were taken to a spacious indoor arena.

There is a wooden floor under the feet, and a cantilevered roof above the head. It is about 7 or 8 meters high. This height is barely enough for flying Pokémon to spread its wings.

"The challenge rule of Zhanlan Gym is 2v2. Once both Pokémon on one side lose their ability to fight, the match is over."

A kung fu brother also wearing a martial arts uniform stood at the edge of the arena as a referee.

Ah Si and the referee's attire also indicated that they were a fighting gym.

"2v2? I get it..."

Xiaozhi nodded, making a decision in his mind.

On the other side, Ah Si had already thrown his elf ball one step ahead.

As a gym trainer, you have to fight first.

boom!

A red light flashed, and a humanoid Pokémon with a rock gray body appeared in front of Ah Si.

The limbs and arms are muscular, with an unruly expression on the head, and a belt connected to the underpants around the waist, and the gleaming gold medal is dazzling.

Hao Li!

This is the Pokémon from his hometown, and this is not the first time Xiaozhi has seen it.

"Fighting Pokémon, it's up to you!!"

I saw that Xiaozhi didn't reach out to touch his waist, but with his palms up, he grabbed the silver feather pendant on his neckline.

call out!

The next moment, a stream of silver-white light flew out from the silver feathers.

In the process, it swelled several times, and finally turned into a half-meter-high, animal-like cub.

Little Rogia!

It's just that the surface of the latter's body is still black and blue, and his eyes are like two glowing red light bulbs, which looks a bit weird...

It has not exited the state of the dark ghost dragon.

"What's this?!"

On the opposite side, Ah Si and Kung Fu brother were immediately dumbfounded.

The latter has little experience, but Ah Si is more or less a sensible brother.

"This is the legendary Pokémon, Lugia, right?"

This figure, he could vaguely recognize the similarity of the legendary Pokémon.

After all, Zhanlan City is next door to the Whirlpool Islands.

It's just Lugia, why is it so small?

And why is it black? !

And why not from the poke ball, but from that feather pendant? !

Ah Si's mind was full of doubts.

...
