The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Thank you, Hapwu."

"Finfin!"

At this moment, Tapu Fini also arrived above the battle zone, sprinkling a lot of purifying water to help Mudstalker and Primarina recover their strength.

"Taput Fini, thank you for watching my battle," Ash called out.

"Finfin!"

Tapu Fini smiled and nodded at Ash, then disappeared into the moonlight.

"Congratulations, Ash."

"Congratulations on passing the major test."

Lillie and the others also came forward to congratulate Ash on his victory.

"Thank you everyone for cheering me on."

After the battle, to celebrate for Ash, everyone returned to the Pokémon Center and had their last big meal together during their free study trip on Poni Island.

The next morning, Dr. Kukui, who had been away for several days, returned to Poni Island. He came to pick up the group who had finished their free study tour and take them back to Melemele Island.

Everyone gained a lot during this independent study tour.

Lily's Popplio evolved into Sprite, and she also received Primarina Z from her master, Iya.

Kiawe overcame the challenges Tapu Fini had given him and obtained the Flying Z-Move.

Mao met her mother, fulfilling her long-cherished wish. She also developed many new dishes for the Aina Restaurant using Bonnie white radish as the main ingredient, and even tamed the mythical beast Shaymi.

Lillie investigated almost all the wild Pokémon on Poni Island, obtaining a wealth of valuable research data, and also learned that her father had not died.

Meanwhile, Mamane and the Vaganobugs also completed their special training for the upcoming Vaganobug race.

Ash successfully passed the fourth major challenge and completed the Alola Islands Tour ceremony.

Furthermore, the Flourish evolved into Primarina, Poipo evolved into Jawdrop, and they also caught a Scalebound.

In addition, they obtained Dragon Z, Fairy Z, Ground Z, and Primarina Z.

At this point, Ash had obtained a total of 25 Z-Crystals.

Aside from the 6 Z-Crystals exclusive to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, Ash only has 4 Z-Crystals left that he hasn't obtained.

Psychic Z, Snorlax Z, Alolan Raichu Z, Kommo-o Z.

Everyone who went on this trip to Pony Island gained a lot, which made Dr. Kukui very gratified and satisfied.

Before they left, Hapwu and Miss Joy came to see them off.

Hapuu even rode a clay giant to deliver incredibly fresh Boni white radishes, just pulled from the ground, as a local specialty for everyone to take home.

After thanking Miss Joy for her care over the past few days, Dr. Kukui led everyone to say goodbye to Hapuu and Miss Joy, and then returned to Melemele Island by boat.

What no one noticed was that in the ship's maintenance room, a large number of uninvited Pokémon, like nuts and bolts, had gathered.

After returning from Pony Island, the next day was Monday, and today's outdoor class was baseball.

The pitcher, Kiawe, threw the ball with all his might, and the batter, Ash, immediately swung his club to hit it.

Although the ball was successfully hit as a home run, it flew out of bounds and landed right where a girl seemed to have stumbled upon the spot.

Xiao Zhi knew something was wrong and rushed over, shouting loudly for the girl to get out of the way.

But the girl remained completely calm and composed, calmly taking a golf club from the beak of a large, round-billed bird next to her.

Then, with a powerful swing, she hit the ball that was falling towards her, and it landed precisely in the hands of the receiver, Tortoisemon, without the slightest deviation.

Everyone was impressed by her composure and professionalism. Xiao Zhi looked closely and realized that it was someone he knew.

The girl with long, sky-blue hair, wearing a blue tracksuit and cap, orange knee-high socks, holding a golf club, and carrying a large beaked bird, was none other than Kashiri, one of the future Elite Four of the Alola region.

Kashiri is a talented golfer and was also recommended by Ash to be one of the first Elite Four of the newly formed Alola League, the Flying-type Elite Four.

A-du's companions belong to this category.

Although Kashiri is better known in the Alora region as a talented golfer.

But she is also a skilled Pokémon Trainer, having won the title of Island Tour Champion.

And in order to conquer the world, they embarked on a wandering journey.

At Ash's strong recommendation and at Professor Kukui's invitation, he returned to the Alola region to become one of the original Alola League Elite Four.

In addition, his father is the owner of the Haonohaono Resort.

Haonohaono Resort is located in the eastern part of Kangtai City on Akala Island, adjacent to Haonohaono Beach, and is the largest resort in the Alora region.

The Haono Haono Resort boasts luxurious decor, attentive service, several swimming pools, and a golf course.

It's said that this hotel is already fully booked for next year.

In short, Kashiri is beautiful, wealthy, powerful, and well-known.

If someone like that isn't invited to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings, then who else could be one?

Although it was their first meeting, Ash quickly went to greet them and said,

"Miss Kashiri, I'm Ash from Pallet Town. I'm so sorry, I almost hurt you..."

Before Ash could finish speaking, the giant beaked bird next to Kashiri suddenly pounced on him, yelling and shouting, seemingly trying to keep Ash away from Kashiri.

"It's alright, Ah-Ku, this person means no harm."

After calming the giant gunbeak bird down, Kashiri turned to Ash and said,

"So you're Ash Ketchum! I've heard so much about you."

I'm sorry, it was just trying to protect me. Please don't take offense. A few reporters were bothering me earlier.

"Um, where is this?"

"This is the Pokémon School."

Ash took Kashield directly to the principal's office. Upon hearing that the famous Kashield had come to the Pokémon School, Professor Kukui and Principal Oak also rushed over.

As Xiaozhi learned from the news, Kashiri had recently returned to her hometown of Alola to rest for a few days after suffering consecutive defeats in world-class golf tournaments.

To cheer her up, Ash suggested that everyone play a game of Pokémon golf together.

But Kashili hesitated, frankly, because of her series of defeats in the competition.

She fell into deep self-doubt about whether she was suited for Pokémon golf and even began to consider retiring.

Her partner, the big, beaked bird named A-Gan, was very unhappy about this.
