The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Froghead lost the ability to fight, and Frogger won, so the winner is Xiaozhi."

"Well done, Bubble Frog."

"Quack!"

"Come back, Frog. Thank you for your hard work.

Xiaozhi, you guys are really strong. I didn't expect you could defeat my Frog. It seems our training is not enough.

Your Froggy's shadow clone is amazing, and it's comparable to the ones performed by the Pokémon around my brothers."

"Thank you. By the way, I just heard you mention the Ninja Village. Is that your hometown?"

"That's right. In this village, there is my oldest brother, Ippei, who is also the strongest man in the ninja village, and his Greninja.

There is also the second most powerful brother in the Ninja Village, Erping and his Bulbasaur.

My goal is to one day defeat my two brothers and become the strongest Pokémon trainer in the Ninja Village."

"Keep up your spirits, and let's fight again next time we meet."

"I understand."

After saying goodbye to Sanping, Xiaozhi and his group arrived at Gumu Town.

Gumu Town, known as the "old-world town", is a town where the manor villas of declining nobles were transformed into tourist attractions. The residents here are very hospitable.

As soon as they arrived here, everyone's attention was immediately attracted by a loud snoring.

When I got closer, I found that it was a Snorlax sleeping in the center of the town, and its occasional snoring was deafening.

According to the residents here, Snorlax and this town have a symbiotic relationship.

At this time of year, Snorlax will run down from the mountain and eat up all the roots of the crops that have been picked in the fields.

When Snorlax eats all the roots of crops, it is equivalent to turning the soil in the field, allowing the next batch of crops to grow faster.

So every year after Snorlax eats the roots of crops, the people in the city hold a festival to pray for a good harvest in order to express their gratitude to Snorlax.

When the festival reaches its climax, the Lord of Lazy City will play the Pokémon Flute, and then Snorlax will eat all the tributes and return to the mountain while dancing.

But this year, because the Lord of Lazy City has not shown up to play the Pokémon Flute, Snorlax has been sleeping here all the time. Not to mention that his loud snoring has caused the residents to lack sleep, important festivals cannot be held.

It is said that the residents of the city have gone to Lazy City to ask the city lord for help many times, but each time he gave them an excuse.

Xiaozhi also has the Pokémon Flute, but each Snorlax likes a different melody.

If you don't like this melody, Snorlax will be very angry when he wakes up, so it can only be played by the Lord of Lazy City.

So Xiaozhi and his group set off to the Lazy City, but the Lord of Lazy City said that he was allergic to the recorder, so he couldn't play it.

Of course Xiaozhi wouldn't believe such a ridiculous reason.

Finally, under the persuasion of the butler, the lazy lord told the truth. The Pokémon Flute was not with him now, but was taken away by Princess Ali from the nearby Balfam Incense Hall.

Because Princess Ali is particularly willful and capricious, she must get what she likes, and Princess Ali's father, the owner of the Balfam Fragrance Hall, often takes care of Lazy City, so the Lord of Lazy City cannot refuse.

The Balpham Incense Temple is the most famous attraction in the Kalos region. As a tourist, Xiaozhi and his friends came to the Balpham Incense Temple.

The ticket here is 1000 yen per person. According to the housekeeper here, they do not charge random fees, and the money collected from the tickets is used for the daily maintenance of the palace.

The prototype of the Balpham Palace is the Palace of Versailles.

This palace was built 300 years ago by a king who won a war with a neighboring region.

The king at that time built a luxurious castle to show off his power. (Not the war in the Kalos region between AZ and the final weapon 3000 years ago)

It has now become a museum and was bought by Princess Ali's father.

The palace displays many statues of loyal guards and Pokémon from 300 years ago, including some of the Slash Commander, and at the entrance is a carving of the Pokémon Milotic, which is said to be the most beautiful in the world.

The statues of Milotic and Slash Commander are all made of gold.

Once you enter the palace, you can see many rooms and paintings.

The former king's chamber was the first one on the left.

There were many tourists and tour guides in the palace.

On the 2nd floor there is a corridor with a whole wall made of mirrors on one side and a door leading to a balcony on the other side.

The palace is connected to the palace's back garden by a bridge across the lake behind it.

In the back garden there are statues of two legendary Pokémon from the Unova region, Reshiram and Zekrom.

As well as statues of a Clay Giant, Eevee, a Blue Toad and a Knight.

The garden has a maze consisting of 4 hedges, some Poké Ball statues and a fountain.

Three of the mazes resemble the Sun Rock, the Crystal Lamp Spirit, and the male Flame Lion.

As the tour continued, Xiaozhi and his companions were completely shocked by the palace.

There are many collections inside, not to mention their priceless value. The entire palace, including the back garden, is over a million square meters in size, and it would take more than a day to walk around it.

When Xiaozhi and his friends were visiting, they also helped a man find his lost Dorimia.

After that, they found Princess Ali and asked her to return the Pokémon Flute, but she refused stubbornly.

She even asked Xiaozhi to give her Pikachu as an heirloom. How could Xiaozhi spoil her? He just slapped her.

How could Princess Ali, who had been spoiled since childhood, lived a life of luxury and had never suffered any grievances, endure such humiliation? She broke down on the spot and cried, wanting to have a Pokémon duel with Ash, and specified that Ash must send out Pikachu.

Then she sent out a Dorymia in the shape of a noble lady, who immediately fired a charging beam at Pikachu, but was killed instantly by Pikachu before it could even be fired.

By the way, Dorimia's special feature is the same fur coat as the cat boss in Alola, which reduces all damage taken by any physical skill attack by half, which is pretty amazing.

Not only did she lose the battle and get beaten, she couldn't argue with Xiaozhi at all. Princess Ali was completely defeated again and she collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.

Princess Ali's crying attracted her father, and Xiaozhi then discovered that Princess Ali's father, who was also the current owner of the palace, was the man that Xiaozhi had helped find Dorimia.
