After a short day of travel, Xiaozhi and Serena finally landed on the island where the last gym, the Durian Gym, was located.

Hot spring tourist attraction, Durian Island.

This is an economic center focusing on tourism.

"Wow, it's so prosperous." As soon as she got off the boat, Salina was surprised by the endless stream of tourists and the dazzling hotel advertisements.

"After all, the Orange Islands are a region that focuses on tourism, and Durian Island is a tourist destination among tourist destinations. It is said that because of the hot springs, some tourists who cannot stay on Honglian Island will be diverted here." Xiaozhi explained.

As soon as we arrived at the beach, a group of hotel receptionists came up to us:

"Would you like to stay here, handsome? Our hot springs are very comfortable."

"Stay at our house. We have a free elf gym."

"Live in our house. We have a beautiful bath scrubber..."

When Xiaozhi heard this, his face darkened. Oh my god, couldn’t you just say this in secret? Didn’t you see Serena was glaring at me?

"No need, we've already booked a hotel." Pushing aside the enthusiastic receptionists, Xiaozhi and the other person walked out of the crowd.

"Huh...it's so enthusiastic that it's scary." Serena patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go buy you a coconut, then we'll go to the hotel and rest." Xiaozhi shrugged.

"Oh~" Although she knew that this sentence didn't mean anything else, Serena still blushed~

Xiaozhi and his friend booked a room at the most luxurious Dihao Hotel on Liugan Island last night.

This isn't Xiaozhi trying to show off. It's just that he hasn't received any pocket money from the young master for a long time.

However, Xiaozhi doesn't have to pay to live here.

That’s right, the Imperial Hotel was opened by Liuli, the gym trainer of Liugan Island and the Eastern Star of the Southern Cross.

Challengers can challenge one person, two people can challenge for free, and if you win the gym, you will get souvenirs...

So Xiaozhi doesn't have any psychological pressure living here.

"Jiang Jiang~ Xiaozhi, this is the coconut I picked out myself." Serena lively held the selected coconut in her hand and handed it to Xiaozhi.

Looking at the faint trace of peach lipstick on the straw, Xiaozhi smiled knowingly, took the coconut and tasted it: "Hmm, very sweet~"

(Xin Er: (?o?o) The best word for you is coconut!)

At this moment, a panicked figure suddenly rushed out from the side.

Xiaozhi was quick to pull Serena into his arms, and the coconut in his hand fell to the ground.

Snap! The coconut broke into two halves, and the coconut juice splashed out.

"Be careful, buddy~" Xiaozhi said with a slightly dissatisfied tone.

"Sorry, my mother is chasing me!" The boy raised his head nervously.

"Eh?"

"Pickup?"

For a moment, Xiaozhi and Pikachu were stunned~

Opposite me was a little boy in a blue short-sleeved shirt with a Pikachu on his shoulder.

Xiaozhi and Pikachu couldn't help but frown: "Hiss~ It's like looking at a mirror, what's going on..."

"Eh? This kid looks so much like Satoshi!" Serena couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Kouji! Stop right there and don't run anymore!" An anxious female voice sounded behind Xiaozhi.

"Oh my god, my mom is here. Big brother, you hold on, I'll retreat first!" The young man called Koji turned around and wanted to run.

"You wish~" Xiaozhi tripped the other person with his foot, and he plunged directly into the beach.

"Ma'am, your son... um!" Xiaozhi turned around, but before he could say anything, he was suddenly submerged in a turbulent wave.

"Koji, how can you run around? Mom is worried." The middle-aged woman pressed Xiaozhi's head hard and beat him...

"Wait! This is not your son!" Serena's face turned red with anxiety, and she pulled Xiaozhi out with force.

This woman, really, how could she hit someone with the ball? What if Xiaozhi learns bad things? Serena touched her chest indignantly, wait a little longer, in a few years, I will definitely surpass her!

"Yes, Auntie, this is your son." Xiaozhi grabbed Koji from the ground.

"Oh...it's true..." The middle-aged woman covered her mouth in surprise: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't scare you..."

Xiaozhi rubbed his nose awkwardly. This is really... hard to describe.

"Hehe...Mom...you caught me." Koji lowered his head and admitted his mistake, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Pikachu..." Koji's Pikachu also lowered its head cautiously.

These two ran away from home and were caught by their mother. Now they are so embarrassed that they are tapping their toes on the ground.

"I'll teach you a lesson later." The middle-aged woman just glared at him in dissatisfaction, then looked at Xiaozhi: "Don't you think so? The nose and eyes really look like my Koji. And this Pikachu is the same~"

Xiaozhi nodded helplessly: "Indeed."

This is a strange face, and it is an eye-opener for me~

“You two, I’m sorry that my son’s willfulness has caused you trouble.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Liuli. I am quite well-known in Liugan Island. If you two don't mind, please come to my Dihao Hotel and stay there for free. It will be my apology to you two." Aunt Liuli invited enthusiastically.

"Luli is just..." Serena was stunned for a moment.

Xiaozhi nodded: "The gym trainer of the Rugan Gym."

Hearing the conversation between Xiaozhi and the other person, Liuli's eyes sparkled: "So, who are you two?"

Xiaozhi smiled and nodded: I am Xiaozhi from Pallet Town, and I am challenging the Orange League. The Durian Gym is my last gym.

"So, Southern Cross, you have already taken down three people." Liuli showed admiration in her eyes: "But, I am not that easy to defeat."

Xiaozhi took a deep breath and replied in a good mood: "I will win!"

Compared with the other three weirdos, this Eastern Star is the only gym owner who expressed his desire to fight right away and did not use any uncomfortable tone.

It's really a clear stream~

"What a great ambition!" Liu Li smiled with satisfaction.

"Wait a minute, mom!" Koji stood up at this time and looked at Xiaozhi with a firm gaze: "I want to challenge Xiaozhi!"

"Challenge?" Serena looked at the lookalike in confusion.

"Why? Koji, I need a reason." Liuli asked seriously.

"Xiaozhi doesn't look much older than me. We are both teenagers. Why can he pursue his dreams freely while I can only stay by your side and be a good boy?" Koji summoned up the courage to speak.

“Koji, you are different from Xiaozhi. The fact that he was able to obtain three badges shows that he is a very capable Pokémon trainer.

And you have been with me since you were little, and you have never experienced any hardships. If you set out rashly like this, I am afraid you will be hit hard." Liu Li explained worriedly.

"Then, as long as I beat Xiaozhi, will you be relieved?" Koji looked at his mother stubbornly.

"This..." Liu Li was still hesitating, but Koji seemed to have been suppressing his emotions for a long time and finally burst out:

I'm the son of the Ryugan Gym Leader! I can fight! Pikachu is also strong!

I can't stay by your side forever, I'm not some little thing~

I also have my own pursuits and dreams!

Xiaozhi smiled and shook his head, full of youthful vigor and ambition. Some things can only be done without regrets.

Similarly, the value of some feelings can only be understood after experiencing separation.

"Okay! I accept your challenge!" Xiaozhi stepped forward and agreed seriously.

Koji looked at his mother with anticipation in his eyes.

Liuli was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and looked at Xiaozhi: I’m sorry, my son, for causing you trouble.

Xiaozhi shook his head: "I also have a mother who cares about me. I know that for her, a mother worries about her child no matter how far away he is.

However, my mother still plucked up the courage to send me out of the house.

I will fight seriously. If he still yearns for the sky after going through the cruel test, I also hope that you will understand him. "

Liu Li nodded with emotion: "Maybe I spoiled him too much. Seeing you so mature really touched me.

In that case, let's go back to the hotel. I'll treat you all to a meal, and then I'll open the venue of the Liugan Dojo for you to use."

"Thank you, Mom! Thank you, Xiaozhi!" Koji almost jumped up in surprise.

"Don't thank me~" Xiaozhi curled his lips: "Just don't hate me after the fight..."
