The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Pickup!"

"Oh, this is your seventh badge. So, Xiaozhi, have you decided where to challenge the last gym?" asked Hatchku.

"I've decided. I plan to challenge the Shuanglong Gym in Shuanglong City." Xiaozhi said.

"Well, it's a great choice. Not only is it close to Snowflake City, but there are also very powerful Pokémon and powerful gym trainers waiting there.

Isn't it just right for you who want to challenge a strong opponent?" Hachiku said with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Hatchku, Ash and the other two returned to the Pokémon Center to rest.

The next day, Douzi also challenged Hakiku to a gym match.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of King Yanwu, the artificial cell egg, and Nanny Mambo, Douzi successfully won the Icicle Badge.

The artificial cell egg was a powerful force that Douzi had been pursuing for a long time before arriving in Snow Flower City.

Because of its joining, Douzi finally has six Pokémon.

However, Mingyi did not choose to challenge the Snow Flower Gym. She was giving special training to the Pokémon and did not want to interrupt halfway.

At this point, Xiaozhi and Douzi have each obtained seven badges, and they only need the last badge to participate in the Unova Alliance conference competition.

And Mingyi only has five badges.

The three of them set their next target on the Shuanglong Gym in Shuanglong City.

Another day passed, and the three were about to leave Xuehua City for Shuanglong City.

I was told by Miss Joy from the Pokémon Center in Snowflake City that the Double Dragon Gym had been closed recently for some unknown reason.

Upon hearing this news, Xiaozhi was very disappointed, because the Double Dragon Gym is the strongest gym in the Unova region, and the gym trainer Shaka is very powerful.

Equivalent to the Sinnoh region's electric current.

But Xiaozhi still holds out hope, because he will go to Shuanglong City sooner or later.

But now, Xiaozhi had to temporarily change his goal and set his sights on the Liyong Gym in Liyong City.

As long as you go downstream from Xuehua City, you can quickly reach Liyong City.

Ming Yi also decided to challenge this gym.

Douzi was unwilling to do so. Anyway, there were still three or four months left before the opening of the United Alliance's conference competition, and Douzi was only one badge short. So for this final battle, she still wanted to challenge the strongest Ssangyong Gym.

When leaving Snow Flower City and passing through a town called Neighboring Town, Xiaozhi and his two companions met Tiantong.

Tiantong said that he was invited by a wealthy man named Mr. Hattori who lived in this town. Tiantong himself didn't know what he was asked to do specifically, but he only knew that it was related to the job of a Pokémon sommelier.

Xiaozhi and his friends had nothing to do, so they went along to join in the fun.

When she got to the door, she found that Cabernet Sauvignon was also there, but she was stopped outside by the housekeeper and was not allowed to enter.

The reason is that the grade of Cabernet Sauvignon is not high enough. He is just a C-level sommelier, which means he is only a novice in the sommelier world. He is too rubbish to be an assistant to an A-level sommelier.

As an A-level sommelier, Tiantong was also invited by Mr. Hattori, the owner of the mansion, so he was naturally invited in with the highest courtesy.

I heard that Xiaozhi is a four-time champion, a Pokémon prosecutor, and knows Tiantong.

After receiving the report, Mr. Hattori hurriedly asked the butler to invite Xiaozhi and the other two in.

When they arrived at the living room, Xiaozhi and his friends met the owner of the mansion, Mr. Hattori, and his daughter Momo.

Although Mr. Hattori is a rich man, he is very approachable and humble.

His daughter, Momo, was just a little girl under 10 years old. She was a little cute and shy. She kept hiding behind Mr. Hattori and would occasionally peek out.

But that pink hair made Xiaozhi shudder.

Because the pinker the hair, the steadier you can hold the knife.

As I said, be careful with the second dimension.

This time, not only Xiaozhi and his friends and Tiantong came, but also another A-level sommelier named Pinot Noir, who sounded a bit effeminate.

Mr. Hattori invited them here this time so that the two A-level wine waiters could choose the first Pokémon for his daughter Momo.

When it came to the professional knowledge in the field of Pokémon sommeliers, Xiaozhi and the other two just watched and left the stage to Tiantong and Pinot Noir.

Mr. Hattori brought everyone to his courtyard and asked Tiantong and Pinot Noir to choose a Pokémon that was suitable for Xiaomo from among these Pokémon.

There are dancing swans, Tantan mice, zebras, Qingpiaopiao, Four Seasons Deer, Bug Baobao, Little York, Foam Chinchilla, Kapok Ball, Wind Fairy, Lily Root Doll and so on.

According to Mr. Hattori, Momo gets along very well with all these Pokémon.

If it were Xiaozhi who chose, he would definitely choose Wind Fairy and Black Heart Cotton without hesitation, needless to say.

And it is a noble fairy type.

The Miss Skirt evolved from the Lily Root Doll is not bad, but only the Miss Skirt in the Washed Jade form is powerful. The ordinary Miss Skirt is just so-so.

So for Xiaozhi, the best choice must be Wind Fairy.

Based on her cute appearance and elegant temperament, Pinot Noir chose the Lily Root Doll for Xiaotao.

Mr. Hattori was very satisfied with this choice, but Momo was a little unhappy, as it was obviously not what she wanted.

At the same time, Xiaozhi used the waveguide to sense that Cabernet Sauvignon had arrived nearby.

Sure enough, Cabernet Sauvignon broke into the manor dressed as a judge.

The housekeeper was about to kick her out, but she claimed to be the legendary S-rank Pokémon sommelier, and successfully intimidated everyone except Xiaozhi, Tiantong, and Pinot Noir.

Cabernet's disguise was so poor, she dressed as a man and called herself an old man. Xiaozhi didn't know why others couldn't see through it.

However, Pinot Noir and Tiantong raised questions. Since Cabernet Sauvignon is a legendary S-level sommelier and so famous, why have they never heard of it?

Cabernet Sauvignon called herself Vinegar Sauvignon and even produced a fake S-level sommelier certification badge, saying that she was rated as an S-level sommelier before Pinot Noir and Tiantong were born.

Although they questioned the fact that there was no sommelier association at that time, Pinot Noir and Tiantong could not say anything more.

Cabernet was very proud of this, and chose Little York as Peach's first Pokémon because Little York had the same scent as Peach.

Mr. Hattori said it was because he used Xiaotao's shampoo to bathe little York the night before.

Just when Xiaozhi was about to expose Cabernet, the little Yorkshire terrier that Cabernet brought over snatched away Cabernet's forged sommelier badge.

Cabernet panicked, and in the process of getting it back, his disguise fell off, and the forgery on the sommelier's badge was also removed, turning the S into a C.

The exposed Cabernet Sauvignon was like a fish just pulled out of the water. Although he shouted and struggled with his hands and feet, he was still ruthlessly thrown out by the housekeeper.
