"Brother Ozawa, it's not good!"

After making an agreement with Sirona to challenge her after successfully entering the senior ball rankings, Lu Ze also left Sinnoh.

Continue to challenge upwards and constantly improve your ranking.

It's a pity that there is no battle celebration during this time.

Although Lu Ze is very strong, his improvement in ranking is not very fast.

Mainly because it’s a waste of time on the road.

This morning, Lu Ze, who was about to leave for the Galar region, suddenly received a call from Xiaozhi.

But what surprised Lu Ze was that the voice on the other end of the phone was not Xiaozhi's.

But...

Xiaohao?

Lu Ze looked at the caller ID on his cell phone with some strangeness. After seeing that it was indeed Xiaozhi, he spoke.

"Xiao Hao?"

"What's wrong with Xiaozhi?"

"Xiao Zhi seems to be autistic."

Xiao Hao on the other end of the phone spoke anxiously, and Lu Ze had to comfort Xiao Hao first.

"What's the situation? Tell me specifically?"

After Lu Ze finished speaking, Xiao Hao also talked about what happened to Xiao Zhi during this period.

During this time, Xiaozhi has been specially training his Riolu and Green Onion Duck.

When I went to Golden City a few days ago, I met a karate girl from the Galar region.

The girl's Pokémon are a Wrestler and an Octopus.

Xiaozhi was defeated by the Octopus Warrior without any ability to fight back.

Although he was defeated by the Eight-clawed Martial Master, Xiaozhi did not suffer any consequences and just underwent special training again.

But in the next challenge of the Pokémon World Championship, Ash failed twice again.

Both of these battles were between Riolu and tentacle-type Pokémon.

An octopus barrel and a stinging jellyfish.

They all failed in the same way. Riolu was entangled by tentacles in close combat and was defeated.

"What should I do? Xiaozhi, who has lost three games in a row, is now autistic."

"He asked Riolu not to fight up close, but to use long-range attacks!"

As Xiao Hao talked, he became anxious again.

Lu Ze helplessly raised his head and said, "Where are you now? I'll go find you."

"Currently at the research institute in Kuye City."

"OK."

After Lu Ze nodded, he hung up the phone.

After listening to what Xiaohao said just now, Lu Ze probably understood.

The first opponent Xiaozhi will most likely encounter is Caido.

As one of the gym leaders in the Galar region, Caidou is quite powerful.

This time when Lu Ze went to Galar, he also wanted to challenge Caidou.

After all, among Lu Ze's few memories, Caidou's ranking in the Pokémon World Championship should be among the top thirty.

The ranking shouldn't be that high now, but it's certainly not low.

But is Ayadou in the Kanto area now?

If we meet, we can have a fight.

But we still need to solve Xiaozhi’s problem first.

Xiaozhi's problem, in Lu Ze's opinion, is a typical over-the-top problem.

The reason why Riolu is not allowed to fight in melee is mainly because Riolu did not defeat the opponent in melee.

In addition, there were three battles and three defeats, all three of which basically failed in the same way.

Controlled by the opponent's tentacles, and then defeated.

Obviously the psychological shadow is too great.

The way to get Xiaozhi to come out is also very simple.

Just break Xiaozhi's psychological shadow.

However, are any of your Pokémon capable of using tentacles?

Lu Ze was thinking as he flew towards the Kanto area.

Fortunately, he is in the Johto area now, not very far from the Kanto area.

It’s just that I didn’t see A’Du this time.

It is said that A'Du is preparing for the Eight Masters competition.

You should be able to see it by then.

Lu Ze quickly arrived at the Sakuragi Research Institute in Kuye City.

"Ozawa is here, please come in."

As soon as Lu Ze and the Crossed Bat landed, Dr. Sakuragi opened the door.

After seeing Lu Ze outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and invited Lu Ze in.

"Ozawa is here for Xiaozhi, right?"

"Yes, Xiaohao called me and said that Xiaozhi seemed to be very serious."

Lu Ze nodded helplessly, but Dr. Sakuragi laughed.

"Although it is indeed very serious, I believe Xiaozhi will realize this soon."

After Dr. Sakuragi finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ze with a smile: "But your arrival should make Xiaozhi recover faster."

"After all, you are the person Xiaozhi trusts the most."

Dr. Sakuragi felt a little emotional. The person Xiaozhi trusted the most was Dr. Oak.

But after a trip to the Kalos region, the person Xiaozhi trusted the most became Lu Ze.

After all, this feeling of having someone to take care of you no matter what is so comfortable!

Although Dr. Sakuragi doesn't quite understand it, he understands it.

It was probably the feeling as if Dr. Ohki was standing behind him.

"Xiao Zhi, do you want to have a battle?"

Together with the two of them, Lu Ze quickly arrived in front of Xiaozhi.

Looking at Xiaozhi squatting on the ground with his knees in his arms and a black line on his head, Lu Ze did not hesitate and directly invited Xiaozhi to fight.

"Brother Ozawa, why are you here?"

Xiaozhi looked up and asked in surprise when he saw it was Lu Ze.

"Xiao Hao said that you are in a state of autism. Let me come over and enlighten you."

Lu Ze smiled, and then extended the invitation again: "How about, do you want to have a battle?"

"Just use your Riolu!"

"good!"

Xiaozhi hesitated for a moment, but still agreed to Lu Ze's request for a battle.

After all, Xiaozhi would not refuse a battle.

"Xiao Hao, can I borrow your Pokémon?"

Riolu is still at the senior level, while the weakest one in Lu Ze's hands is already at the second stage of the King level.

If Porygon were to fight against Ash's Riolu, it would have no effect at all.

"sure."

After Xiaohao was stunned for a moment, he quickly nodded in agreement.

Together, the three of them soon arrived at the nursery behind the Sakuragi Research Institute.

In the nursery, there are all the Pokémon that Xiaohao captured and then fostered here.
