He knows Pokémon better than me

On this day, Xiaozhi was eating lunch in the living room at home, and Kukui was sitting next to him.

Because the wedding is approaching, Kukui hasn't gone to other islands much recently, and Xiaozhi has seen him more frequently.

At this moment, the TV was showing the ring recording of the Royal Masked Man and his flaming roaring tiger last weekend.

"Roar!!!"

It was still an overwhelming victory. Roaring Tiger ended with a vicious Leap Crush, defeating the other three Pokémon in the ring.

"The masked man's roaring tiger is still so powerful."

Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh while eating.

Since I was traveling in the Kanto region, I missed the must-see weekly Royal Masked Arena live broadcast. Now he is making up for it.

"Roar! Roar!"

Next to him, his blazing roaring tiger almost stuck to the TV. It was not until the end of the recording that he raised his arms and roared with a look of longing and excitement.

Speaking of which, since it evolved, it hasn't had a real showdown with the Royal Masked Man's Roaring Tiger.

"roar!!!"

So Roaring Tiger turned to look at Xiaozhi and growled a few times.

It's time, let's challenge the masked man to a fight!

Or sign up now to take on the Masked Man in this weekend’s Royal Dome Challenge!

"Hey, we can't do it this weekend. It's Dr. Kukui's wedding."

Xiaozhi could only smile to calm Roaring Tiger's restless mood.

Moreover, there was a notice written at the end of the recording, indicating that the Royal Masked Man had some personal matters in the past two weeks and would not go to the Royal Dome for the time being. The challenger had turned into a strange force.

"roar"

Hearing this, Roaring Tiger immediately lowered his head in disappointment. What kind of clown thing is Wei Li?

So I ran out to practice boxing with a look of regret on my face.

"Haha~ Maybe Mr. Masked Man has something urgent to do recently?"

Next to him, Kukui felt a little on pins and needles as he listened to one person and one tiger discussing him.

Xiaozhi turned his head and looked at the roaring tiger on the beach outside, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Royal Masked Man's Roaring Tiger should be the strongest flaming roaring tiger in the world, right? Well, I really want to defeat it head-on~"

"The strongest in the world?"

Kukui was startled, then smiled and shook his head:

"No, I also know a being who is even more powerful than my Royal Masked Man's Roaring Tiger!"

Xiaozhi suddenly became interested. He swallowed the sandwich in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He approached Kukui out of curiosity:

"More powerful than the Royal Masked Man?! Is there such a person in the Alola region?!"

Never heard of it.

The Royal Masked Man is currently recognized as the strongest trainer in the Alola region. Ash watched and even fought against him several times.

Really strong!

If placed outside, it should be easily defeated against ordinary alliance kings.

Even if we were to face the champion, if we were to face the United Champion, Mr. Adek, we should have a good chance of winning.

Above this, are there any masters? !

Kukui could only comfort him:

"Yes. But I guess the other party may not be from Alola~"

Seeing Xiaozhi's high interest, Kukui simply started telling:

"That's what I experienced when I was a kid. I was about, uh, six? Or seven years old."

"At that time, I accidentally met a trainer with a blazing roaring tiger. He should be about the same age as you, Xiaozhi, right?"

"That trainer's strength is extraordinary, especially his Roaring Tiger, which is also ridiculously strong~ Unfortunately, we only met briefly at that time, and we never met again~"

Speaking of this, Kukui couldn't help but narrow his eyes and fell into memories.

Xiaozhi retracted his body, a little surprised.

Calculating this, the trainer Dr. Kukui knew should be in his 30s to 40s now, in his prime.

It's just that no matter in the Alola region or even outside the country, I haven't heard of a powerful middle-aged trainer with a blazing roaring tiger.

"Is he really that strong?"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. The trainer he met when he was six or seven years old was only met once by chance.

And looking at Kukui’s expression, it’s just like the longing expression on his Roaring Tiger’s face when he looked at the Roaring Tiger on TV.

Isn't it just a childhood idol filter?

After a while, Kukui came back to his senses and said in a positive tone:

"In short, if that trainer is still here, his Roaring Tiger will definitely be more powerful than my Royal Masked Man's Roaring Tiger!"

The only pity is that his Roaring Tiger has now achieved great success, but he has no chance to find the trainer and compete with him.

After Kukui officially became a trainer at the age of ten, he searched everywhere for that person's information, and even challenged countless trainers carrying Roaring Tigers, but without exception, they were not targets.

Later, when I got older, I buried these things in my heart, but I didn't mention them to outsiders for a long time.

Kukui crossed his arms and nodded, and solemnly concluded:

“So no matter how strong the Masked Man’s Roaring Tiger is, it can only be ranked ‘second in the world’ at best, not ‘first in the world’.”

Xiaozhi looked surprised. He didn't expect Dr. Kukui to have such an encounter when he was a child.

"Is he truly the best roaring tiger in the world? Hey, I want to meet him too."

He leaned back on the sofa, feeling a little regretful.

Could it be that the man who trained his family in middle age also retired completely due to the pressure of life like Mr. Shadow Tiger, and even gave away his treasured Eevee exclusive Z?

Kukui's childhood memories are just an episode. These days, the preparations for the wedding are still in full swing.

Some of Lilia and others paid money, some made appointments, and some made decorations.

Xiaozhi was free.

His task was very "simple" -

Invite the sun god Solgaleo to come, and then cooperate with him to perform an exclusive Z move "Sunlight Spinning Under the Sky" at the wedding scene to present the most grand celebration fireworks for the wedding.

Of course, for others, it is a difficult task.

So after lunch, Xiaozhi rode the Dream God to the Aether Foundation to see if Lilia's mother had any way to contact Solgaleo.

"It's not a big problem. Now we can accurately help people go to the Ultimate World~"

Hearing Xiaozhi's intention, Lusamine gave a plan confidently.

With the power of the little nebula stored in the full moon, their Aether Foundation can now open the Ultimate Hole at any time.

"Ah, will that cause harm to the little nebula?"

Xiaozhi asked worriedly, his eyes subconsciously looking at Zaobo next to him.

He remembered that using the power of the little nebula to open the Ultimate Hole would cause the former to suffer abnormally, right?

"Ahem. I have been cleansed, no, I have turned over a new leaf."

Beside him, Zaobo coughed and quickly defended himself.
