The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

After hearing the whole story, Princess Ali's father had Princess Ali taken back to her room, and then asked the butler to bring the Pokémon Flute.

Xitron whispered into Xiaozhi's ear and said that Princess Ali's father was quite sensible and knew that his daughter had done something wrong. He was completely different from the willful and capricious Princess Ali and was very well-educated.

Xiaozhi smiled with relief and replied to Xitron,

"That's right. They charged us 1000 yen each, so how could they treat us badly?"

Only then did Xitron realize it.

However, Xiaozhi and his companions also knew that they had been deceived by the Lord of Lazy City, because this Pokémon Flute was indeed the treasure of Lazy City.

However, the Lord of Lazy City owed a lot of money to Princess Ali's father, so he used the Pokémon Flute to pay off the debt.

After getting the Pokémon Flute, Xiaozhi and his friends returned to Gumu Town. The Lord of Lazy Town played a beautiful melody, which successfully woke up Snorlax. The festival was held as scheduled and the residents were very happy.

At night, when they returned to the Balfam Temple to return the Pokémon Flute, in order to thank Xiaozhi and his friends for helping to find Dorimia, Xiaozhi and his friends' father were invited to watch the fireworks show on the balcony.

The fireworks were very beautiful, and coupled with the beautiful and spacious garden behind the Balpham Temple, they looked even more dazzling under the night sky.

Afterwards, at a radio observatory in the forest, Xiaozhi and his friends saw Miss Junsha's motorcycle parked outside and went in to take a look.

As soon as they entered, a woman with a black robe covering her face and a king squid appeared in front of Xiaozhi and his group.

She attempts to use hypnosis to control Ash's Pikachu and use it for her own purposes, thereby conquering the world.

Xiaozhi was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so Pikachu just used 100,000 volts and instantly electrocuted the Squidward into a grilled squid.

And that Mrs. X was none other than Miss Junsha who was controlled by the Squid King.

A few days ago, Miss Junsha received an alert that the Squid King had committed a crime nearby, so she came alone to investigate. As a result, she was accidentally hypnotized by the Squid King and was controlled.

In addition, there are many Pokémon that are also controlled by the Squid King's hypnosis.

Xiaozhi really laughed. Another one who wanted to conquer the world, didn’t he have any new dreams? Just because of the Squid King, he wanted to conquer the world?

Do you think Arceus and the others are just here to eat?

Xiaozhi and his friends handed the Squid King over to Miss Junsha to escort him back to the police station and then left.

He also informed the Alliance and arranged a Pokémon with the sleepless attribute to guard the squid king.

A few days later, after crossing Route 7, which stretches straight along the river bank and is known as the "longest road in the Kalos region", Xiaozhi excitedly arrived at the Battle Fortress.

This is a very famous battle facility in the Kalos region.

You can improve your ranking and obtain titles by continuously winning battles.

It's a bit like a ranked game.

The place here is based on the prototype of the knight duel and follows the etiquette of chivalry. In addition to calling them by their titles, all trainers here will be collectively referred to as Knights, which means knights.

This place provides a fighting venue and opportunity for trainers who love fighting, and grants trainers titles.

This is a unique form of combat in the Kalos region.

Before the battle, both sides must first perform the ritual of touching the Poké Ball.

Trainers participating in the battle need to wear cloaks according to regulations.

Different titles correspond to different cloak colors: baron corresponds to white, viscount corresponds to blue, earl corresponds to green, marquis corresponds to yellow, duke corresponds to red, and the top-level grand duke corresponds to purple.

The titles are the duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron in ancient Daxia, which are easy to remember.

People of each rank can only fight against people of the same rank as themselves. As long as they successfully defeat ten trainers of the same rank as themselves, they can be promoted one rank.

The gym trainers in the Kalos region are basically marquises and marquises, the four heavenly kings in the Kalos region are basically dukes and duchesses, and the regional champion of the Kalos region, Karunori, is the title of Grand Duchess.

But it's just an empty title, and these big guys don't take it seriously.

Violet and Chakro are the only two gym trainers who frequently come to the Battle Fortress to fight, so their current titles are Duke and Duchess, and they are only one battle away from becoming Grand Duke and Grand Duchess.

However, this mechanism seems to have some problems and its value is not very high, so it is understandable that the big guys don’t care about it.

Because when we usually play ranked games, we get extra points or stars if we win, and we lose points or stars if we lose. You have to win to win. It is possible that you play ranked games for a whole day, but end up staying where you are because of winning and losing, or even losing all the time and falling down the rank.

But it’s different in the Battle Fortress, because there is no impact if you lose, and defeating ten trainers of the same rank is only cumulative, not continuous, and can be interrupted by being defeated, no problem.

This means that you can win by quantity. As long as you fight enough battles here, sooner or later you will be able to reach the title of Grand Duke or Grand Duchess.

Extra points for winning and no points deduction for losing, how can there be such a qualifying competition?

On the way here, Xiaozhi and his friends met Nikola and Tesla, who were brothers and also came to challenge the Fortress.

Nikola is already a Baron, and will be promoted to Viscount if he wins one more game, while his brother Tesla is making his first challenge today and is a newcomer to the Battle Stronghold just like Xiaozhi.

The plaque at the entrance of the Battle Fortress reads:

"Fight the Fortress! Prove your strength with your title!"

I have to say, this slogan really makes people excited.

I pushed open the door and walked in, and a maid quickly came to greet me.

"Lord Baron Nikola, welcome back to the Battle Fortress."

"My brother is here with me today. Please help him arrange a first battle." Nikola said.

"Hello, I'm Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. Today is my first time here at the Battle Fortress. Please help me arrange a first battle."

"Ok."

At the same time, Yikong, the steward of the Battle Fortress, came over.

"It's our first meeting. I'm very happy to welcome guests from the Kanto region. I'm the butler of the Battle Fortress. My name is Yikong.

This is a social venue for all gentlemen and ladies to engage in ultimate and noble battles. Please aim for a higher rank and work hard to climb up."

"Okay, please give me your advice."

"Next, I will take you to the salon, where you can freely choose the opponent you want to fight."

Led by the maid and Yikong, Xiaozhi and his friends and the Nikola brothers came to the salon which served as the players' lounge and banquet hall, where there were many trainers.
