The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Merdan never fails to deliver at critical moments and is very reliable. He always takes care of Acerola, but he is also easily influenced by Acerola.

However, Merdan also has a cunning side and likes to hide his identity as the king of the island from challengers.

In Pokémon battles, he is also good at using strategies such as luring the enemy deep into his territory and attacking them by surprise.

As a trainer, he is also very experienced, often using clever designs to enable challengers and Pokémon to realize their potential.

"Hello, Mr. Merdan, I didn't expect to find you so easily."

Merdan was frightened by this and took a step back, shaking his head.

"Merdan! It's not me."

Xiaozhi smiled helplessly. It turned out that this Uncle Merdan was known for being afraid of trouble. If someone didn't know him, they would really be deceived by him.

"Then do you know where Uncle Merdan is now?" Xiaozhi asked knowingly.

"Oh, that Merdan, he's my colleague. He just went out on patrol."

"Really? Then what about the Evil Z Pure Crystal on you and the Z Power Bracelet on your hand? Did you pass the Great Test and get it from Merdan, the King of the Island?"

"Yeah...yes, you guessed it right."

"Okay, Uncle Merdan, you don't have to play dumb anymore. Since I came to Ula'ula Island to challenge the island tour, I must have studied the king of the islands here.

Uncle Merdan, you used to be an international police officer with the code name 000.

Ten years ago, you and Mr. Handsome were members of the same team, hunting Ultra Beasts together to protect the Pokémon world.

At that time, the International Police used the "bait" method to attract the Ultra Beasts, so there was also a Fall in the team.

But during the mission, you and Mr. Handsome developed sympathy for the hunted Ultra Beasts.

At the same time, your abilities at that time were not enough to successfully capture the ultimate beast called the Evil Food King.

The mission ultimately failed, and Fall, who was in the team at the time, was also knocked down.

After the mission, you also unexpectedly discovered Lila who had lost her memory.

Later, you retired from the ranks of the international police and became the island king of Ula'ula Island.

Lila joined the UB Countermeasures Headquarters as the new "bait" and partner of Mr. Handsome.

Fall is the name given by the international police to humans who possess the ultimate space energy.

When a living being passes through the Ultra Hole, its body will be bathed in the energy of the Ultra Hole.

Humans who bathe in the Ultra Hole will be chased and attacked by Ultra Beasts. The International Police takes advantage of this feature and recruits humans who carry the energy of the Ultra Hole as "bait" to hunt Ultra Beasts.

Simply put, any human who has entered the Ultra Cave is a Fall, such as Lila, Gladion's father Morn, and so on.

When he heard Xiaozhi tell him everything that happened 10 years ago, Merdan's face, which had remained calm for decades, now widened with shock.

"You... who are you? How do you know what happened in the past? And you know it in such detail!"

In response, Xiaozhi smiled, took out his ID and said,

"I'm Ash from Pallet Town, the top prosecutor of the Pokémon Inspectorate. By the way, I'm very close to Mr. Handsome."

"Tsk, so that guy told you. After all these years, you still have so much to say."

Uncle Merdan put his hands in his pockets, glanced into the distance inadvertently, and spoke with disdain and complained about the handsome guy's talkativeness, but Xiaozhi could hear from his words that he missed his old friend and lamented the passing of time.

"So, you admit that you are Mr. Merdan?" Xiaozhi said with a wicked smile.

"I didn't say that. I already said Merdan is my colleague and he's out on patrol."

Just as Xiaozhi was about to speak, a voice of jade sounded before him.

"But you, Uncle Merdan, are the only police officer in this police station."

Xiaozhi looked back and saw that it was a girl about 145cm tall, about 11 to 19 years old, with purple hair, a gold armlet on her left arm, and a purple dress that looked like it had been patched up several times.

It was none other than Aserola, the ghost captain of Ula'ula Island.

There's also a shining Mimikyuu floating in the sky beside him!

Acerola, known as the "Idol of the Spirit World", is friendly and lively, and is very popular among ghost-type Pokémon.

She uses her first name, Acerola, as the first person.

Because her little Mimikyu is a real ghost, many ghost-attribute Pokémon are often attracted to her.

Therefore, when people around her get caught up in trouble caused by Ghost-type Pokémon, she blames herself and feels very guilty.

She deeply loves her work as a librarian and reading picture books to children, and considers these jobs to be her greatest treasures.

She is also an optimistic, cheerful and responsible girl who is always eager to help others.

She also loves playing with Pokémon.

Because they lived together, she knew Merdan's tricks very well.

He also often scolded Merdan when he was lazy at work and shirked his duties.

"Aselora, why did you tell him my identity?" Merdan said with a hint of resentment in his tone.

"Alora, Uncle Merdan,

Your name is Xiaozhi, right? I just heard it, Alola."

Acerola smiled at Merdan's sad look and turned to greet Xiaozhi.

"Alola, you must be Acerola, the ghost-type captain of Ula'ula Island."

"Hehe, I've been recognized." Aserola chuckled.

To be honest, Acerola is really cute.

"Okay, everyone come in."

Merdan invited the two of them in. As soon as they entered, Xiaozhi was shocked by the scene in front of him. There was a room full of Alola Meowth!

Xiaozhi was so scared that he quickly looked at the doorplate. This is indeed the police station. I would believe it if you told me this is a stray cat shelter.

As soon as they entered, Ash, Pikachu, and Eevee were pounced upon by a large group of Alola Mew.

Some of the more well-behaved ones are really cute, allowing Xiaozhi to enjoy the joy of petting cats.

But some of them are more naughty and like to scratch and bite people.

Just when Xiaozhi was complaining, he saw Uncle Merdan put a few cat teasers and bags of cat food on the table, made a please gesture to Xiaozhi, and ran away from the police station.

Xiaozhi gave a helpless smile. He really was worthy of being a former Interpol officer. He didn't expect that despite all his calculations, he was still tricked by Uncle Merdan.

Fortunately, Acerola was here. Her Shiny Mimikyuu seemed to be particularly experienced in dealing with these Alola Mews, and she dealt with them in no time.
