Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

His Bubble Frog no longer used the water waves to accelerate, and immediately shot a water gun at the sticky foam, knocking the foam down.

"Frooggy, we have to fight back too! Use Water Wave!" Xiaozhi continued to shout.

"Hit back with a slap!"

The two Bubble Frogs gathered their energy at the same time, and the aqua-blue energy condensed in their palms, ready to be launched at the same time.

But before they could launch their attacks, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared above their heads, blocking the sunlight.

The two frogs subconsciously looked up, and Xiaozhi and Xiaoyun also looked in the direction they were looking.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

"Oh my god! No way!"

Serena also noticed the dark shadow above her head and was immediately horrified. She shouted upwards:

"Xiao Guang! Don't come over here!!"

Above their heads was Gyarados falling from the sky!

then……

Boom boom! ! !

A bolt from the blue!

Huge waves were splashed by Gyarados's body, like a tsunami, sweeping away Xiaoyun, Xiaozhi, Serena, and other nearby players!

One move and the whole team is wiped out!

"Wuhu! So exciting!"

Xiaoguang cheered and jumped off Gyarados' back, standing on the surfboard.

The continuous water splashes and tornadoes allowed her to move forward unhindered, and what was even more amazing was that there was not even a single person trying to stop her.

The last time I experienced this feeling of speeding was on Fenglu’s plane.

"Hey, is this the end?"

Xiaoguang looked at the red flag in front of him with some surprise, and then easily crossed the finish line with Gyarados.

After a while, the figures of the contestants, including Xiaoyun, Xiaozhi, Serena and others, emerged from the water.

Then they were pulled back onto the boat by the rescue team that arrived.

The final result of the game was as expected.

The first place is naturally Xiaoguang who has been cheating all the way.

The second place was a lucky contestant who followed Vaporeon and dodged Gyarados's range attack.

As for the third place….

Yes, it’s Xiaopi who is riding on a mini surfboard.

Seeing Pikachu standing on the podium, Xiaozhi felt terrible.

Who is the trainer after all?

.............

The next day.

Dig and dig in the small cave, and if you find a fossil, you will be rewarded with a big red flower.

In the Shining Cave, Xiaoyun raised his pickaxe and once again dug out a gray-green stone the size of a palm from the countless mud.

The surface of the stone is covered with fine lines and has a rough texture that has been deposited over the years. It is obviously quite old and looks very old.

Xiaoyun felt that this must be a great treasure.

"Xiao Luo, please identify it."

Rotom immediately flew over, scanning light emanating from its body, carefully sweeping over the stone.

A few seconds later, a voice rang out: "Identification completed, it's nothing."

Xiaoyun's smile froze, and she stubbornly held the stone in front of Rotom.

"Why don't you take a closer look? This pattern, this texture, how could it be nothing?"

Master Luo had no choice but to perform a second scan:

"It has been confirmed that this item is the feces of a fossilized Pokémon."

"Come on, we've found history."

Xiaoyun's mouth twitched, and then she silently buried it back in the pit, covered it with soil, and waited for the next person with the right fate.

At this moment, Xiaozhi's excited voice came from not far away: "I dug something too!"

I saw Xiaozhi holding up a yellowish-brown stone with a proud look on his face.

Rotom flew over at the sound, and a moment later, the familiar electronic voice sounded again:

"The identification is complete, it's nothing."

"Ah, why is this happening?"

Xiaozhi instantly wilted.

Xiaoyun walked over and said teasingly, "I told you you were quite confident. You agreed to Mr. Takeda's request so readily before, but now you're feeling weak?"

After the surfing competition, several people went to visit the Fossil Research Institute in Guxiang Town.

At the research institute, they met the director, Mr. Takeda, who, with his knowledge of fossil Pokémon, acted as a temporary tour guide to help explain fossil Pokémon and its related history.

When it came to studying, Xiaoyun and Xitron listened very carefully, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Xiaoguang, Xiaozhi and others gradually became confused.

I feel sleepy and want to sleep.

Just when the lecture was halfway through, Mr. Takeda received news that the jaw fossil and fin fossil that he was originally going to display had disappeared out of thin air. All the staff in the institute were sent to investigate, and there was no one to search for the fossils again.

When Xiaozhi heard that someone was looking for something, he immediately came to his senses and volunteered to help.

It’s just a fossil. Look, I’ll get it for you.

As soon as these words were spoken, before everyone could react, Mr. Takeda thanked them warmly and even kindly put the map of the Shining Caves into Xiaozhi's hands.

So, everyone became what they are now, working hard as gold miners in the Shining Cave.

"Well, I didn't expect you to dig it yourself."

Xiaozhi explained sheepishly.

According to normal thinking, if something is lost, shouldn't you look for it? What's the point of digging it up again? When will this end?

Xiaozhi could only place his hopes on Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, you are knowledgeable and experienced. This time it all depends on you."

Xiaoyun rolled her eyes helplessly when she heard that.

What does being knowledgeable have to do with finding stones? He is not Daigo.

But now that we are here, we can’t give up halfway.

He thought for a moment and continued to say to the baby Tyrannosaurus beside him: "Baby Tyrannosaurus, try to see if you can sense the presence of other fossils around you."

Baby Tyrannosaurus, also a fossil Pokémon, nodded and sniffed the air around him.

After a while, it seemed to have discovered something and walked quickly towards a corner.

Xiaoyun felt that there was hope, so he immediately picked up the pickaxe and prepared to start digging.

.....

Two and a half minutes later, Xiaoyun raised the pickaxe and continued digging towards the rock wall.

boom!

The rock wall suddenly shook, and then large pieces of rock began to fall down, and the rock wall collapsed directly!

Oops, it collapsed.

"Xiaoyun!"

Xiaoguang quickly ran towards the collapse and saw Xiaoyun surrounded by rubble. He quickly asked, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"Ahem, luckily, there's the baby Tyrannosaurus."

Xiaoyun was covered in dust and crawled out of the rubble coughing.

At the moment the rock wall collapsed just now, the baby Tyrannosaurus immediately blocked the rocks and built a rock wall to block the falling debris.

"Ahem, I was almost buried."

At this moment, a figure flapped his clothes and walked out from the gap in the collapsed area.

The man had a gentle face, silver-blue hair, wore an orange shirt and khaki trousers, and was accompanied by a Cocodora.

"Oh, there are so many people."

The man was stunned for a moment when he saw the group of people at the cave entrance, then he smiled friendly and said:

"Hello, my name is Daigo, please give me your guidance."

"Daigo! Former Hoenn Champion!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, even Xiaoyun was no exception.

Daigo Tsushima has a series of titles including former Hoenn champion, heir to Deven Corporation, mining master, rare stone collector, etc. He is truly rich, handsome and powerful.

"Haha, I've been recognized."

Daigo heard everyone's exclamations and smiled gently. Then his eyes fell on Xiaozhi and he said in a familiar tone, "Long time no see, Xiaozhi."

"Mr. Daigo, I didn't expect to see you here."

Xiaozhi walked forward excitedly, as he had seen Daigo before.

While traveling in Hoenn, Daigo helped his group and the trio escape from the Stone Cave in Butou Town.

However, Daigo did not reveal his identity as the Hoenn Champion at that time, and it was not until later that Satoshi learned about it.

Daigo smiled and nodded. "Yes, I heard there are many rare stones in the Shining Cave, so I came here to take a look. By the way, what are you doing?"

Xiaozhi raised the pickaxe in his hand and said:

"What a coincidence! We are here to dig stones too."

When Daigo heard about digging stones, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a like-minded partner, and his tone became closer:

"Could it be that you are also stone lovers?"

"No, we are..." Xiaozhi was about to explain when a cold voice suddenly came from the cave.

"Mr. Daigo, you are here."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a purple-haired boy wearing a safety helmet walking out of the cave.

The boy had a stern face and sharp eyes.

It's the powerful enemy, Shinji!

"Shinji!!"

Xiaozhi and Xiaoyun shouted in unison, with some surprise on their faces, obviously not expecting the other to be here.

"Xiaoyun?"

Shinji first looked at Xiaoyun, and then looked at Xiaozhi: "And you, why are you here too?"

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about?"

Xiaozhi said dissatisfiedly, what do you mean he is here too, can't he come to mine?

"Of course, we're here to mine."

Xiaoyun looked at Shinji with interest: "Look at your equipment, are you the same?"

He was somewhat curious about the indifferent Shinji, and the sight of him digging stones with a pickaxe in hand was quite interesting.

Shinji subconsciously hid the pickaxe in his hand behind his back when he heard this, and said stubbornly:

"No, I'm not. I'm practicing."

"Oh? Looks like everyone knows each other."

Daigo was a little surprised that someone as cold as Shinji would have friends.

Noticing Xiaoyun's inquiring gaze, Shinji looked away uncomfortably and immediately changed the subject:

"Did you dig up the stones you wanted?"

"Absolutely not."

Xiaoyun spread his hands, and Xiaoguang nodded:

"We've been digging for so long, but we haven't found anything except a pile of ordinary rocks."

Yulijia, who was standing by, was wearing a cute Otodon costume and running around in the cave energetically.

"We haven't found it yet, but we're working hard! We'll definitely find the fossils!"

“It’s really energetic.”

Daigo looked at everyone and spoke gently:

"What fossils or rocks do you need? Maybe I have them here."

After saying that, he opened his backpack.

The moment the backpack was opened, the various stones inside emitted a dazzling light, almost blinding Xiaoyun's eyes.

Because it contains not only various high-quality evolutionary stones, but also many precious fossils.

What’s even more shocking is that there are actually several super evolution stones!

Damn, this rich second generation really knows how to dig.

Evolution stones and fossils are fine, but there are several rare items like super evolution stones. What luck this person has.

Xiaozhi's eyes lit up when he saw so many precious stones: "Thank you so much! I'll be more than welcome!"

As he said that, he reached out to grab the stone in his backpack. Daigo immediately grabbed the backpack and said with a smile:

"Wait a minute."

"Eh!"

Xiaozhi paused with a puzzled look on his face.

Why are there still conditions?

"Things can be given, but there are conditions."

Daigo looked at him like this and stopped teasing him. He said:

"Let's have a fight. These are your rewards, especially for this new Inspector."

Daigo, besides mining and supporting newcomers, also likes to challenge the strong.

As the new champion of the league's championship, Daigo had long heard of Xiaoyun's name from various channels, and even learned a lot about Xiaoyun's strength from Shinji. It was a rare opportunity to meet him today, so he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to play against him.

To put it bluntly, my hands are itching.

"Investigator!"

Shinji's pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

He knew very well that the position of Investigator was not an easy one. Anyone who had held this position was either the king of the league or a strong contender for the next champion. And Mr. Daigo had held this position before!

There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes as he looked at Xiaoyun.

Have you reached this point yet?

"Very well, it would be an honor to fight against the renowned former Hoenn champion. Please advise me."

In Xiaoyun's opinion, among the champions of the league, except for Dante from the Galar region, the champions of other regions, Dodo, Shirona and Daigo are the strongest.

He had challenged Sirona before and had never had the chance to meet Du. Now that he had a rare opportunity to meet Daigo, he naturally would not miss this good opportunity to compete with a strong man.

Since the space inside the cave was too small to be suitable for fighting, everyone went to an open space outside the cave.

Xiaozhi took the lead and stood in the middle, shouting, "It's decided to be you, Pikachu!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu landed steadily and assumed a fighting stance with great momentum.

Daigo looked at Pikachu, smiled and nodded:

"It looks very imposing, then I will..."

"Mr. Daigo, please let me handle this guy!" Shinji suddenly interrupted Daigo.

"Oh? Shinji volunteered to fight, that's a rare thing."

Daigo was a little surprised. Shinji had been training and sparring with him all this time. They met many trainers on a regular basis, but the number of times Shinji took the initiative to challenge him could be counted on one hand.

It seems that this Pikachu is not simple either.

Daigo thought for a moment and nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Daigo."

Shinji nodded slightly, then turned to look at Xiaozhi: "We didn't meet him in the last tournament, so let's deal with him once and for all this time."

He knew very well that with his current strength, he was no match for Xiaoyun, so he could only settle for the next best thing and defeat Xiaozhi, who was also in the top 16, to prove his growth with victory.

When Xiaozhi saw that his opponent had changed to Shinji, instead of feeling disappointed, he became even more excited:

"It's Shinji! Great, I'm lit!"

Shinji ignored him and threw the Poké Ball expressionlessly: "Metalloquin, prepare for battle!"
