The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

They're likely to be constantly on guard and become very aggressive," Lila said.

Hearing this, Xiaozhi spread his hands speechlessly.

Do I need to tell you this? Isn't this what Bi Ke just reported to me? We already knew about it here.

We have received three tasks so far.

The first is to investigate the ecology of unknown UB,

The second is to prevent UB and prevent people from being endangered by it.

The third is to protect UB, or to completely eliminate UB." Lila said.

"We have received orders from our superiors. If the UBs are harmful beasts hostile to this world, they must be eliminated." said the handsome guy.

"But, Handsome and I don't want this to happen. Even if it's UB, it's still a life. We want to protect and save them." Lila said.

Xiaozhi also nodded in agreement and said,

"Me too. Ultra Beasts are still Pokémon after all.

They are not wrong, they just feel a little overwhelmed because they have come to a strange world.

This is all because we humans don't understand them well enough, and we can't impose these faults on the Ultra Beasts."

"However, protecting UB, in other words, capturing it, requires more effort than completely destroying it, and we don't have the combat power to achieve this goal yet," said the handsome guy.

"After talking for so long, let me get straight to the point, Xiaozhi. I would like to ask for your assistance in our UB protection mission." Lila said.

"Of course. On the one hand, I have received orders from my superiors to cooperate with you. On the other hand, I myself want to do my part to protect the Ultra Beasts." Xiaozhi said.

"That's great. With your help, we can definitely complete the mission of protecting UB." Lila said.

"Please take care of me in the future, Xiaozhi." said the handsome guy.

"I would also like to ask for your guidance."

After hanging up the call, Xiaozhi stretched comfortably.

Since yesterday, Xiaozhi has been moving his luggage from Dr. Kukui's house to the branch office.

As a reward for Ash, the Alola branch building funded by the Pokémon Supervision Bureau has office areas for staff on the lower floors, but the entire top floor belongs to Ash!

In addition to the office used for daily work, the other areas on this floor are decorated very luxuriously, almost like a single-story villa, including the rooftop on the top floor, which is also Xiaozhi's living area.

Xiaozhi also moved out of Dr. Kukui's house to avoid being a third wheel and affecting his and Dr. Barnett's new marriage.

Unfortunately, just a few days after their wedding, Dr. Barnett went on a business trip, leaving Dr. Kukui alone at home.

Nothing major happened in the next few days. Everyone also learned how Principal Oak met the tree-pillowed bear, and the story told by Shuilian and Mao about the old man in the forest, who was an old dragon.

Monday soon arrived. On this day, the Pokémon School organized everyone to come to Mount Lanakila on Ula'ula Island.

Mount Lanakila is the highest mountain in the Alola region, located north of Kapu Village on Ula'ula Island.

The name Mount Lanakila means "victory" in Hawaiian.

It is said to be the steepest and coldest mountain in the entire Alola region, and its mountain structure is very complex.

Mount Lanakila is a towering snow-capped peak that requires an elevator ride to the mountainside and a hike to the summit.

Sometimes hail falls here, and sometimes ice crystals fall on the top of the mountain.

There are also frozen stones in the caves on the mountain that can evolve certain Pokémon.

Xiaozhi had been to Ula'ula Island before and had also completed the island pilgrimage here, but he had never been to Mount Lanakila.

This time, it wasn't just everyone in the class who came here, Mr. Hala also came along.

He planned to come here to participate in the Pokémon Sled Jumping Competition to be held here tomorrow, and also planned to let Crabbe evolve here.

So Professor Kukui decided to take everyone here for an outdoor class to observe the wild Pokémon on Mount Lanakila.

Xiaozhi is still full of curiosity about this place. You know, the Alola region is located in the tropics, and the four main islands are all tropical islands.

And it is really amazing that there is a snow-capped mountain on this tropical island.

This is also Bai Gun Gun’s hometown. However, it was taken away from here when it was still in an egg, so today is the first time that Bai Gun Gun has returned to his hometown.

After all, they were going to the snowy mountains, so everyone basically changed into thick winter clothes. Only Kachi, Hala, and Dr. Kukui were still dressed in their usual attire, without adding any more clothes.

The temperature on the mountain was so low that even the strong Mr. Hara couldn't help sneezing.

Kachi reminded Hala that she would catch a cold if she wore too little in such a cold environment.

Hala rolled his eyes at Kachi and asked him what qualifications he had to say that to him.

Indeed, everyone here is qualified to say Hala except Kachi.

Even if Dr. Kukui still had his chest exposed, he should at least wear a coat.

Kachi is still shirtless in this snowy environment as usual, which makes people admire his strong ability to withstand cold.

But the next second, these three people who insisted that they were not cold at all were shivering in the biting cold wind on the mountain. They quickly put on the down jackets they brought with them and only then did they feel better.

However, although Dr. Kukui put on a down jacket, he still left his chest open, without zipping it up, and did not wear any extra clothes underneath.

The group walked all the way up the mountain, and they could see many wild ice-type Pokémon along the way, such as Snow Onna, Alola Sandshrew, etc.

Hala also released his competitive crab, ready to upgrade the level and complete the evolution here.

It picked a Xianla as its opponent, and with one enhanced punch, it quadrupled its strength, hitting the Xianla head-on and killing it instantly.

After winning the battle and gaining experience points, the Victorious Crab successfully upgraded its level, and the light of evolution emanated from its body.

In a few seconds, it successfully evolved into a strong and competitive hairy crab, which made Mr. Hara very excited.

Everyone was very excited to see the Pokémon called Victorious for the first time, so they decided to rest nearby for a while.

For this outdoor course, everyone brought a lot of food to share with each other.

Lilia brought a one-liter thermos with hot black tea in it.

Mao baked chocolate cookies at home and brought them over in a cooler box.

Shuilian brought some Mori no Yokan,

Kachi brought some Moo Moo fresh milk bread made from his own ranch.
