Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Citron pushed his glasses up. "The Alola region's Z-Moves are truly extraordinary. This method of concentrating all one's strength into one point is truly worth studying."

Seeing that her brother only cared about research, Yu Lijia stamped her feet in frustration and said:

"Brother, your focus is so strange! That girl down there must be in a bad mood after losing the competition. As a single person, shouldn't you go over and show some concern and win her favor?"

As she said that, Yulijia rolled up her sleeves and rushed to the competition venue, as if she was going to win the right to choose a spouse for her brother.

"Don't mess around!"

Hitron was startled and quickly took out a mechanical arm from his backpack and pulled Yulika back.

This girl was getting more and more aggressive, and he felt a little overwhelmed.

Xiaozhi was also infected by the battle below, and at this moment he was filled with a fighting passion:

"I'm on fire! Who wants to fight me?"

"I come!"

As soon as Xiaozhi finished speaking, Serena subconsciously took over the conversation.

Because when they were traveling, Xiaoguang once secretly told her that to pursue a boy, you should start with his hobbies, and she remembered it.

After traveling with Ash, she discovered that his biggest hobby was Pokémon battles.

It was so much so that it almost became a conditioned reflex for her to hear that Xiaozhi wanted to fight.

...

Afterwards, Xiaoyun returned to the rest area and saw Xiaoguang standing in the corner at a glance.

He deliberately shook the red cape on his shoulders, walked up to her, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How about it, do I look more handsome in this red cape?"

Xiaoguang came forward and touched it. "This is the Duke's cloak. It's red and looks really nice. It's much more impressive than the previous Marquis' cloak."

"That is."

Xiaoyun nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Ah Xun who had just come over, and deliberately dragged out his tone:

“I haven’t seen it yet…”

"Greetings, Your Excellency the Duke. Good luck to you."

Before he finished speaking, Ah Xun had already bowed exaggeratedly and clasped his hands together, showing a very good attitude.

Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, that's right."

This kid's attitude was so good that Xiaoyun felt a little embarrassed to continue teasing him.

At this time, Violet came over and said, "Congratulations, Xiaoyun. You were promoted from Baron to Duke in less than a week. Such speed is extremely rare in Carlos."

She remembered that it took her half a year to be promoted from Baron to Duke. She simply couldn't do the continuous high-intensity fighting for a week like Xiaoyun did.

"Haha, thank you."

Xiaoyun smiled faintly and was not proud of it.

To be honest, as long as there are enough opponents, any superstar can do it.

It’s just that the battle castle is mainly for socializing after all, and no one treats it as a dungeon like he does.

"By the way, why haven't I seen Master Chaklo?"

“Isn’t this right…”

Violet subconsciously turned around, only to find that the dark figure that had been following her had disappeared.

Oh my god, this guy runs so fast.

Little did they know that the moment Chaklo heard that Xiaoyun was promoted to Duke, he slipped away quietly.

Now the two of them have the same title. If the Inspector gets itchy and wants to find an opponent of the same level to compete with, wouldn’t he be in trouble?

Just now, Ayaka took the bullet, but this time no one will help him!

Run, you must run!

Even if we really lose, we have to lose in our own gym, at least we can have some home advantage.

While everyone was chatting, Xiaozhi couldn't wait to throw out the white gloves given to him by Butler Karen, ready to find a new opponent.

I've fought Serena privately so many times that I can guess her moves with my eyes closed.

But as soon as he threw his glove, it was caught steadily by a white hand.

Well, it's still Serena.

According to the rules of the Battle Castle, whoever picks up the glove will immediately establish the battle agreement.

"Go, Frog!" x2

A moment later, Xiaozhi and Serena threw the Poké Ball almost at the same time.

Two white lights flashed, and two almost identical croaking frogs appeared on both sides of the field.

Xiaoyun stood in the stands, looking at the two croaking bubble frogs below.

I thought to myself that this future frog god now looks no different from an ordinary croaking frog. It turns out that potential is only discovered slowly.

"Quack Bubble Frog, Water Wave!"

Xiaozhi gave the order first. He knew Serena too well. According to her previous habits, she would definitely use the same moves as him.

The Bubble Frog immediately condensed a blue water ball and shot it towards the opposite side with force.

But this time, Serena suddenly changed her command: "Frog, use Shadow Clone!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her croaking frog figure flashed and instantly split into five or six identical clones, which dispersed in different directions.

The water waves hit one of the clones, and the clone immediately turned into foam and dissipated.

“You didn’t hit it?”

Xiaozhi was a little surprised. Why did Serena suddenly change her moves today?

"Use lightning flash!"

Serena's command came again, and the six Froggys moved at the same time, turning into six afterimages and rushing towards Ash's Froggy.

"Use Bubble Intercept!"

Xiaozhi quickly gave the order, and his Froggy immediately spit out a string of crystal bubbles and shot them towards the afterimage.

Boom!

The bubble hit the clone, but upon closer inspection, it still hit the real body of the Bubble Frog.

"How come there is no real body?"

Xiaozhi frowned. Serena suddenly felt different today.

"In heaven."

Serena reminded with a smile.

The Bubble Frog took advantage of the gap when the bubble was intercepting the clone and quietly jumped into the air.

Xiaozhi looked up and saw that, sure enough, Serena's Froggy was looking down at his Froggy.

A confident smile appeared on Serena's lips. This trick was taught to her by Xiaoyun before she went on the stage, and she also said that Xiaozhi would definitely fall for it.

Instructor Yun’s skills are still too valuable.

"What! Bubble Frog, use Water Wave!"

Xiaozhi quickly gave the order, and his Froggy immediately raised his head, condensing water balls to prepare for a counterattack, but Serena's order also sounded.

"We also use water waves!"

"Cuck!"

The water wave of Selina's Bubble Frog has taken shape and smashed out with a sound of breaking through the air!

boom!

The future frog god was beaten back repeatedly and was almost thrown out.

"How come Serena suddenly became so powerful?"

Xitron said in surprise. He remembered how Serena performed when she challenged the gym before. If she had such command ability at that time, she would not have lost.

Xiaoyun stood beside him with a teachable expression on her face.

He had already figured out Xiaozhi thoroughly. This guy felt most at ease with things that were familiar to him.

Fighting against Serena every day, his continuous victories had already made him develop a fixed mindset, and he would be caught off guard by sudden changes on the spot.

"For the final blow, use the Water Wave!"

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Serena's eyes, and her Froggy condensed a water ball again and smashed it hard at Xiaozhi's Froggy.

This time, the Frog God had no time to dodge and was directly knocked away by the water waves and flew out of the arena.

Although it has not lost its combat ability, according to the rules of the Battle Castle, if the Pokémon falls out of the field, it is considered a failure.

“I lost…”

Xiaozhi scratched his head. Although he felt a little unwilling, he still praised sincerely: "Salina, your command just now was amazing! Especially that shadow clone and the aerial attack, I was completely unprepared!"

"Actually...it's not that great."

Feeling Xiaozhi's sincere praise, Serena's cheeks instantly turned red and she lowered her head a little embarrassedly.

Yeah! It seems that catering to one's tastes is the right thing to do.

Serena became more determined in this idea. Since Xiaozhi's dream was to become a Pokémon master, she would work hard to become a Pokémon master.

Hehehe, perfect!

----------

Xiaoyun, who achieved the Duke achievement and also gave some pointers to Serena, did not stay in the battle castle for too long. After saying goodbye to his friends briefly, he continued his journey to Carlos with Xiaoguang.

A few days later, the two accidentally entered a valley. Following the faint stone steps upwards, they discovered a dilapidated relic deep in the valley.

The broken walls were covered with moss, the weathered stone carvings were blurred, and a thick smell of dust filled the air.

"So, are we lost again?"

Xiaoguang poked a stone pillar several people tall beside her. Her intuition told her that they had taken the wrong path again.

There are so many abandoned ruins in Kalos.

Xiaoyun glanced at the dilapidated stone door and turned to look at the somewhat guilty Rotom beside him. "Master Luo, what do you think about getting lost?"

Does this navigation have its own ideas?

"No and no."

Seeing Xiaoyun looking over, Rotom, feeling guilty, immediately put on an expert attitude, slowly walked around the ruins, and said slowly:

"This place is ancient and mysterious, with picturesque scenery. Just looking at the exterior gives you a sense of history. You can tell at a glance..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a dull thud, and a loose stone above the stone door suddenly fell down, hitting the spot where Rotom had just been floating.

........

Rotom froze in mid-air for a second, then turned around without changing his expression, his tone growing more certain. "It looks like a good place! There must be treasure hidden inside!"

"Um...are you sure we won't get crushed by rocks if we go in, or get trapped inside and unable to get out?"

Xiaoyun raised an eyebrow, seriously doubting the truthfulness of Rotom's words.

The ruins looked shabby, even the door was about to collapse. It didn't look like there were any valuable things hidden there.

Seeing the trainer questioning him, Rotom continued to deceive him: "Look, you don't understand this, right? The more places like this, the more good things there are!"

"For example, ancient Pokémon murals, or lost evolution items, that's all possible..."

Xiaoguang became interested. She pulled Xiaoyun's sleeve, her eyes sparkling:

"Forget it, since we're here, why don't we go in and take a look? What if we find something good?"

Even if there isn't, just consider it an adventure; it's better than wandering around in the valley."

Xiaoyun looked at Xiaoguang's expectant eyes, then glanced at the dangerous door and nodded.

"Okay, you can go in, but you have to follow me closely and watch your head so you don't get hit by rocks."

"OK!"

Rotom quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily I managed to fool it, otherwise I would have been exposed.

This broken relic doesn't look reliable, it would be strange if there is anything inside...

Just as the two were about to enter the ruins, a man wearing a green coat, a mushroom-shaped haircut, and black-framed glasses suddenly walked out from behind the stone pillar next to them and blocked their way.

His glasses reflected the sunlight, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.

"You two, please stay."

"Hmm? What advice do you have?"

Xiaoyun stopped and looked at the other person warily.

The man with glasses pushed his glasses up, his eyes fell on the white bracelet on Xiaoguang's wrist, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"My name is Arnold. If I'm not mistaken, the thing this lady is wearing is the Evolution Keystone, right?"

He smiles so obscenely, he doesn't look like a good person.

Xiaoyun's heart trembled, and he calmly took a half step forward, blocking Xiaoguang behind him, and said in a cold tone:

"So? This has nothing to do with you, sir?"

Arnold seemed not to have heard Xiaoyun's warning and continued, "So, I want to have a Pokémon battle with this lady."

"If you lose, Miss, how about handing over your Evolution Keystone and the Mega Evolution Stone from your Pokémon to me?"

"You want to steal my Mega Evolution Stone?"

Xiaoguang frowned, his tone clearly filled with displeasure.

Her Mega Evolution Stone was a gift from Xiaoyun, how could she give it to someone else so easily!

Xiaoyun was even more surprised.

He didn't expect that Carlos' pursuit of the Super Evolution Stone had reached this point, and he was directly gambling with the Evolution Stone.

Arnold waved his hand and explained politely, "No, no, no, you two have misunderstood. This isn't a robbery, it's a bet! It's a fair battle agreement, legal, and can't be confused with anything else."

And you still blame civilization... Xiaoyun continued, "Since it's a bet, what if you lose? What can you bet?"

"Same here. If you two win, then this Mega Evolution Stone in my hand will be yours."

Arnold paused, then looked at Xiaoyun again, his tone provocative.

"Of course, if this young lady feels that she is not strong enough and does not dare to accept the challenge, she can let this gentleman do it for her. I don't mind."

So confident?

Xiaoyun became even more confused. Seeing that Arnold looked confident of winning, she became unsure about the other party's background.

To be so confident, he must be either extremely powerful or have something to rely on.

"Xiao Guang, why don't you let me..."

To be on the safe side, Xiaoyun prepared to leave on his own, but before he could finish his words, Xiaoguang gently stopped him.

"Okay, I promise you!"

She was not after Arnold's Mega Evolution Stone, but wanted to take this opportunity to verify her own strength.

Since she mastered Mega Evolution, she hasn't encountered an opponent who can also Mega Evolution!

"That's really nice."

Arnold's eyes lit up.

His identity is naturally not simple. He is one of the trainers who was defeated by Alan in ten consecutive victories in the original work.

His appearance here this time was not accidental, he came here specifically for Xiaoyun.

Challenging Xiaoguang was just an excuse. His real purpose was to draw out the special super-evolutionary fluctuations in Xiaoyun.

If he could force Xiaoyun to take action again, he would be able to observe closely and collect data.

This is the special existence that Lord Fradili mentioned by name.

What, you mean if we lose the game, we'll lose the Mega Evolution Stone?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

What strength can a mere little girl possess? Look at him finishing the fight in two and a half minutes!
