After watching the battle, Xiaozhi nodded slightly and recognized Kotetsu's strength.
This headband trainer may not look reckless, but the riddle operation of "slapping the forehead with the headband" at the critical moment was quite good and directly turned the tide of the battle.
Some strength...
But, not much.
But don't mention it, this trainer named Kotetsu seems to be surprisingly like himself when he first embarked on the journey?
Xiaozhi touched his chin and thought to himself.
Then he glanced at Acroma and Mingyi again and exhaled.
It's not a big problem. Now I am a mature trainer. In the eyes of my two new companions, I am also mature and reliable!
There are no former partners here to expose the shortcomings...
"Hey, why do I feel that the trainer with Riolu looks so similar to you before, Xiaozhi?"
At this time, a burst of ridicule suddenly came from behind.
Xiaozhi frowned, why did he just think of this and then it really came out?
And this voice sounds a bit familiar...
He quickly turned his head and saw a young girl standing behind him.
She has short orange hair, slightly tied into a short ponytail on the right side, and a pretty face with a lively and sassy temperament.
She was wearing an orange bikini, her chest was slightly raised, she was full of energy, and she looked like a beautiful beach girl.
Seeing Xiaozhi's dull expression, Xiaoxia pointed her finger at Xiaozhi and then raised it, making a handsome greeting gesture.

"Young~Xiaozhi, long time no see~!"
"Xiao...Xiaoxia? Wait, why are you here?!"
Xiaozhi opened his mouth wide and blurted out in surprise.
And it's not just Xiaoxia, this person next to her is...
She has long burgundy hair tied into a long ponytail, wears glasses, and has a beautiful face with the unique temperament of a mature woman.
Especially since she is also wearing a bikini suit, but her figure is like a real mountain compared to Xiaoxia's small hill!
Such a magnificent cup made Ming Yi, who was also a woman, couldn't help but blush.
"Ahem..."
As an adult man, Akroma could only cough and look away in embarrassment.
It's a little too big.
"Master Kona, why are you here too?"
Xiaozhi's mind was filled with doubts at the moment.
The red-haired woman is none other than the ice-attribute king of Kanto, Kona!
"Oh~ Xiaozhi, long time no see."
Kona chuckled and said hello.
Although he has a proud figure, his tone is soft and gentle, giving him a soft and restrained intellectual temperament.
The two had some in-depth exchanges when they were on the Orange Islands... Of course, they also met occasionally at the subsequent alliance meetings, and they were quite familiar with each other.
"Are you Xiaozhi's partners~?"
Xiaoxia also looked at Mingyi and the two, showing her silver teeth with a smile, then turned around, put on a pose and said:
"Hello, I am Xiaoxia, the trainer of the Hualan Gym in the Kanto region and the number one beautiful girl in the world~!"
This self-introduction made Mingyi stunned, but Acroma next to him touched his chin and thought about it for a while.
"So they are the three golden flowers of Hualan Gym... By the way, why don't I remember the name Xiaoxia?"
In addition to scientific research, he also does some academic research.
Hearing this, Xiaoxia immediately replied angrily:
"There are always four golden flowers!
"
Xiaozhi is used to this. The most famous thing about Hualan Gym is Xiaoxia's three beautiful elder sisters. It seems that every time Xiaoxia has to explain it to others in a red and warm neck.
The focus now is why Xiaoxia and Master Kona suddenly came to Ripple Town in the Hezhong area!
"Hey! That trainer with the electric rat from outside, do you want to have a battle with me, Kotetsu!"
After killing Kenny Yang, Kotetsu on the side also noticed the movement here and immediately challenged Xiaozhi to a battle.
However, Xiaozhi was enthusiastically pulling a group of people towards the elf center, preparing to find out what was going on, and did not hear any invitations from outsiders.
"..."
Kotetsu, who was left behind in embarrassment, watched the others walk away in silence.
Damn it, my eyes are wrong!
"Xiao Zhi, by the way, that shorts Xiao Zhi looks really similar to you at first!"
Along the way, Xiaoxia couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, was Xiaozhi this stupid before?"
Mingyi next to him asked curiously.
In her eyes, Xiaozhi has always been a mature and powerful senior. Is there still a time when he is reckless?
But the girl named Xiaoxia in front of her was casually hooking up with Xiaozhi and playing...
The relationship between the two must be very good...?
...
...
Soon, everyone arrived at the Elf Center in Ripple Town.
After putting down their luggage, they returned to the lobby... Of course, Xiaoxia and Kona had already put away their luggage and were waiting for them at a round table with parasols.
With the beach in front of it, the location of this elf center is almost like a resort hotel.
"Jaw~!"
Xiaozhi also released his black-eyed crocodile, allowing the latter to dig in the soil and hide in the beach at will. The black-eyed crocodile seemed to like this terrain very much.
And Xiaoxia also introduced the reason why they came here to several people.
"Master Kona and I are going to participate in the World Championships to be held in Fanba City in two months~!"
Xiaoxia smiled and took out an invitation letter. The cover was the same as the invitation letter Zhulan gave to Xiaozhi.
Kona next to him chuckled and helped Mingyi sign...
After knowing that the other party was the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, Mingyi naturally became obsessed with collecting immediately and asked for autographs.
Of course, Xiaoxia, as a rare gym leader in other places, has also become a member of her collection.
"Our Kanto Alliance plans to send me and Master Kona to represent the Kanto region in the war this time~!"
Xiaoxia pointed at herself with a smile, quite proud.
The World Championship in Fanba City has sent invitations to strong players from all over the world.
Of course, most powerful people will not pay attention. After all, who are you? We can come if you want us to?
The first tournament without a reputation will naturally not be able to attract strong passers-by to participate.
However, Pokémon alliances in various places will still sell some face, and arrange some local strong people to make up the numbers to fill the facade.
The Kanto Alliance sent a Gym this time, and adding an Alliance King to participate was enough to give them face.
As for the strongest champion...
It seemed that he had fought against Dandi, the champion of the Galar region, and was more interested in the latter, so he went to participate in the world championship in the Galar region.
"Um, isn't it still 2 months away...isn't it a little too early now?"
Akroma rolled his eyes and couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Xiaoxia just replied with a smile:
"It's not a big problem. It's a public trip anyway, so everything can be reimbursed~"
She happened to hear that Xiaozhi was also traveling here. A few days ago, she secretly asked Dr. Oak about Xiaozhi's itinerary, and then she took Ke to snipe!
