The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

The city is dotted with lawns of different colors, including tea green and lemon yellow.

In the center of the city there is a small bridge over a pond, and in front of the pond there are flower beds with pink and white flowers swaying in the wind.

Many mushrooms grow from tree trunks, dotting the city with a slightly magical atmosphere.

As a quaint big city, although the streets are crowded with people, the classical houses can still be vaguely seen.

Coming here, not only Satoshi who wanted to have a gym battle and get the sixth badge was excited, but Serena was also excited.

Because she especially wanted to meet Ms. Maxiu, the gym trainer of the Aromatherapy Gym.

Maxiu is a very famous designer in the Kalos area. Her clothing store is located inside the Aromatherapy Hall, and Serena really wants to go and see it.

The Aromatherapy Gym was built under a giant tree. A group of people pushed open the door and walked in. The staff inside were moving things in a hurry and looked very busy.

At the same time, a noise at the front desk attracted Xiaozhi's attention.

A boy with green hair was arguing with the front desk lady at the gym.

When Xiaozhi looked carefully, he realized that this was Shota, also known as "Pikachu's Little Brother"!

(Shota and Pikachu are voiced by Ikue Otani)

"I want to have a gym battle no matter what. Please," Shota said earnestly.

"No matter how much you beg me, there's nothing I can do. Miss Maxiu won't accept gym battles today because she has an event going on. Please come back tomorrow." said Mami, the girl at the front desk.

"why is it like this."

"I'm really sorry."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Xiaozhi shook his head helplessly. It seemed that there would be no gym battle today.

Then he walked over, patted Shota on the shoulder and said,

"Long time no see, Shouta."

"Ah! You're Xiaozhi! It's been a long time."

Shouta said excitedly, shaking Satoshi's hand.

"It's not just me."

Only then did Shota notice Serena, Citron and others behind Satoshi.

"It's Serena, so you two are traveling together.

"Ah! Aren't you the gym trainer of the Miare Gym?" Shota exclaimed.

"Long time no see, Shota." said Serena.

"Xiaozhi, how do you know Shota?" Hitlon asked puzzledly.

"Because we were classmates with Shota before." Xiaozhi said with a smile.

"I see. After I separated from you and returned to the Miare Gym, Shota came to challenge me.

His wood gecko has very special movements and is very agile." Xitron said.

Xiaozhi agreed with this point very much. He had already witnessed the power of Shota's Bokeh when he was in school.

“Even though I lost the match, I gained great experience.”

After a long time, Yurika realized that she and Shota were the only ones she didn't know.

"By the way, Shota, are you traveling in the Kalos region now? How many badges have you obtained?" asked Xiaozhi.

“I’ve only got one so far, so I still need to gain more experience.

Bimbisara is my first Pokémon. I am still training now. I must make it stronger and then challenge the Miare Gym again."

According to Shota, he has been following Daigo to various places to investigate and dig stones since graduation.

I just recently took my wood gecko out for a trip, and the first area we chose for the trip was the Kalos region.

Because the Kalos region is the birthplace of mega evolution, stone lover Daigo asks him to investigate here while traveling here to see if he can find a mega evolution stone.

"Okay, Miare Gym welcomes your challenge at any time." said Xitron.

"But aren't you a gym trainer? Why are you here?" Shota asked puzzledly.

"I handed the gym's affairs over to Hitroit so that I could travel with Xiaozhi. I think traveling with Xiaozhi can gain a lot of valuable experience."

"Xiaozhi is really awesome. By the way, Xiaozhi, how many badges have you obtained so far?" Shota asked.

"There are five of them now, and we are going to come to the Aromatherapy Gym to challenge the sixth badge."

"You already have five badges. You are really worthy of being Xiaozhi. You are so amazing. I have to work harder and catch up with you soon."

Because the gym was closed today, they decided to go to the Maxiu store first. Serena exclaimed that it was awesome.

In the direct-operated store, Serena and Yulijia were having a great time looking at the beautiful clothes that were all designed by Maxiu. They were almost dazzled by the choices.

Xiaozhi and Xitron had already prepared to pick up their bags and pay the bill, so they found a place in the store to sit and wait.

"Shota, since we can't have a gym battle today, why don't you have a battle with me? Let me see how much you have grown now."

Xiaozhi suggested when they were free.

"Okay, let's fight. If possible, I hope it can be a doubles match. I've always wanted to try it." Shota said.

"As expected, you understand me well, Shouta. You know that I like doubles battles the most."

After saying hello to Serena and the other two, the three of them immediately went to the battle field outside the gym.

Xiaozhi and Shouta stood on both sides of the fighting field, and Xitron served as the referee.

"Come on, Wood Gecko, baby dragon."

This baby dragon is level 19 and has a hard head. It will not be damaged when using anti-injury skills.

This wood gecko is level 15, with lush characteristics. When its HP is less than one-third, the power of its grass-type skills is 1.5 times greater.

These are the only two Pokémon that Shota currently has.

However, one is the starter Pokémon, and the other is a Hoenn quasi-god. Both are very rare Pokémon with unlimited potential.

"Frog, Gyarados, it's you two, get ready to fight."

"Quatou!"

"Ugh!"

As soon as Gyarados appears, the characteristic Intimidate is activated, reducing the physical attack of Dragonite and Bimbisara by one level respectively.

"It's actually a shiny Gyarados. Satoshi is so amazing that he can capture such a rare Pokémon." Shota said.

"Then now, the battle begins!"

"Baby Dragonite, use Headbutt on Gyarados. Wood Shovel, use Parasite Seed on Gyarados."

Shota actually knew that he could focus his fire on one of the opponent's Pokémon first, which made Xiaozhi look at him with admiration.

"Quackaru, use Water Stream Blast on the Dragonite. Gyarados, use Water Stream Tail to knock down all those seeds for me."

The tip of Gyarados' tail gathered water energy, knocking away the attacking seeds one by one, and then collided head-on with Baby Dragon's headbutt.

For a moment, they were evenly matched, and the baby dragon made up for the lack of power in its skills with its hard head.
