He knows Pokémon better than me

The next day, Kapu Xiongxiong's name really shocked the entire Alola region.

While walking on the streets of Maliejing City, Xiaozhi could hear the crowds all around him who were intensely discussing yesterday's incident at Lanakila Mountain.

Even Kachi and Mao called Xiaozhi to inquire about the situation.

After knowing that Xiaozhi was also present, they all felt regretful and upset.

They already knew about Mamane's trip to Ula'ula Island and witnessed the battle between Deoxys and Rayquaza.

Sure enough, if you follow Teacher Xiaozhi, you can see incredible things!

However, what happened on the top of Mount Lanakila yesterday made many Melemele Islanders feel excited and proud.

After all, wearing a bear means living on Melemele Island, which means that their island suddenly has two patron saints!

"Is there such a big movement?"

Xiaozhi looked around with a smile, but there was not much emotion on his face.

Speaking of which, he even wanted to have a real fight with Kapu Xiongxiong!

But today, the person we want to fight is not Kapu Xiongxiong, but the island king of Ula'ula Island!

After a while, Xiaozhi took Xiaoguang to the gym opened by Nightshade.

At this moment, a huge arena has been set up on the street in front of the gym, and many people have gathered around, watching curiously.

There was even a huge banner hanging above it:

"The Grand Trial of the Island Tour! Teacher Xiaozhi vs. Merdan, the King of the Islands!"

"——This competition is sponsored by Kuanglong Gym!"

Xiaozhi's mouth twitched. This was too showy. He just asked Solanum to lend him the venue for a big trial.

And what the hell is the Mad Dragon Gym? !

Although he did suggest a resounding gym name at the time, but Mad Dragon?

However, when I think of Nightshade's bright red leather skin and cool hairstyle.

Well, it does match the reputation of "Crazy Dragon Gym".

"Hey~ Teacher Xiaozhi, and Xiaoguang~ you are here~!"

After seeing the two people from a distance, Nightshade Nightshade shouted and greeted them, as if using the "Dragon Sound Encouragement".

Beside him, Acerola had been waiting here for a long time.

The pretty face was smiling, obviously very satisfied with this flamboyant arena.

She had made an appointment with Xiaozhi before for a big trial battle in Maliejing City, but the venue hadn't been arranged yet. She couldn't just start the battle on the street, right?

So Xiaozhi thought of Nightshade's new gym.

The battle with the King of the Island should be able to gain some popularity, right?

On the other end of the phone, Solanum nigrum naturally agreed happily. It was a win-win situation!

Therefore, outside the gym, the arena that was originally used for the gym competition to attract customers was simply lent to Xiaozhi for the big trial battle.

"Teacher Xiaozhi, let me introduce to you~ This is Uncle Modan~! He is also the strongest trainer on our Ula'ula Island and the king of the island~!"

Acellola immediately took Modan's arm and introduced him enthusiastically.

Modan yawned and scratched his head, but did not accept Acerola's boast:

"Well, although I am the king of the island, I am not the strongest trainer. Ma Ruiyin, that kid is much stronger than me~"

Xiaozhi quickly looked at Modan and found that he was a middle-aged uncle with gray hair, wearing a baggy police uniform and slippers on his feet. He looked like he had no fighting spirit.

The cheeks looked a little thin, but Xiaozhi faintly felt a dark and dangerous aura from the other person.

Generally, this kind of feeling can only be felt when facing the cadres of villain organizations in various regions, right?

Xiaozhi felt strange, but the other party obviously had nothing to do with the villain organization, so he quickly said hello politely:

"Alola~Mr. Merdan! I am Ash from the Kanto region! This is my Pikachu~!"

Beside him, Xiao Guang also said hello with a smile. "My name is Xiaoguang, from the Sinnoh region!"

Hearing the word "Guandong", Mo Dan cheered up a little:

"A trainer from Kanto?"

Before, he only knew him as a young and promising foreign teacher, and he didn't know much about Xiaozhi.

But judging from this look, it probably has nothing to do with Sakaki, Team Rocket, or anything like that.

"Teacher Xiaozhi, right? Alola~ Everything is fine, let's go to the big trial~"

Modan said lazily, putting his hands in his pockets and taking the lead to walk to one end of the field.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but look at Acerola, as if asking, "Is this the enthusiastic island king you mentioned who wants to conduct a big trial?"

It seems that he is completely forced to clock in to work!

Acerola quickly explained with a smile:

"Haha, Teacher Xiaozhi! Although Uncle Modan is not very motivated on the surface, in fact, he is already very excited in his heart~!"

Xiaozhi nodded and quickly climbed onto the ring.

In short, we can finally have a serious battle. Ula Ula has been watching from the side for so long, and he has already been itching!

And many people have gathered around the ring.

"Teacher Xiaozhi? Who?"

“Never heard of it”

There is still some delay in information between the four islands. On Melemele Island and Akala Island, Xiaozhi's name is actually quite famous, but Ula'ula Island is still unfamiliar.

As for Modan on the opposite side.

"Modan? Who?"

“Never heard of it”

"So we also have an island king on Ula'ula Island?"

It seems like no one knows him.

This made Aserola very anxious. How could the king of the island be so unimpressive? So she shouted at the top of her voice:

"Fight with all your strength! Uncle Merdan! Show the momentum of the king of the island!"

Merdan scratched his head. It was rare to see this girl so attentive.

After thinking about it, Merdan sighed and his expression gradually became serious.

"Hey, brother, the rules of the Grand Trial on our Ula'ula Island are different from those on other islands."

"According to the rules, the king of the island can use three Pokémon, and the challenger can only use one Pokémon. If you can't defeat all three Pokémon, the Grand Trial challenge will be considered a failure~"

Merdan spoke loudly, slightly emphasizing his tone.

"1v3?"

Xiaozhi was stunned. This was the first time he heard of such a rule.

He subconsciously glanced at the audience, and Aserola nodded at him, proving that it was not a rule made up by Merdan on the spur of the moment.

The battle rules of Ula'ula Island are 3v1. Of course, the strength of the three Pokémon also increases in sequence. It is difficult to deal with without three Pokémon.

But it is also very difficult to pass the round-robin battle.

So Xiaozhi nodded and agreed on the spot:

"OK, I accept!"

At this moment, as the host, Long Kui also stood in the middle and said loudly:

"Then as the owner of the Crazy Dragon Gym, I declare that this Ula'ula Island Trial has officially begun!"
