Chapter 948: Goodbye Xiaozhi, puzzling differences(1/3)
"There should be a Sara Gym inside the refining tower you saw over there..."
Serena, who came to the observation deck, fell silent as she spoke.
"How to get there?"
"Pickup?"
Ash, Serena, Pikachu, Citron and others looked at the refining tower in the water with some confusion.
"There's no bridge or anything here?" Citron was puzzled.
"That island doesn't float on the sea, right?" Yurika was a little curious.
Serena frowned slightly: "This way I can't go to the gym."
"Pikachu..."
"We're all here but we can't go to the gym."
Both Pikachu and Xiaozhi were a little disappointed.
"How could something so extreme happen?"
"I obviously want to fight right away!"
"It's your turn to appear."
Lu Ze looked at Xiaozhi who was grumbling at the observation deck with a chuckle, and said to Kerni beside him.
"Okay~"
Korni lifted her feet and the shoes under her feet turned into roller skates.
With a slight movement, he slid towards Xiaozhi and the others.
"O you who seek great power!"
Korni flipped and landed on the lawn behind Xiaozhi and others.
With a smile on his face, Lu Ze followed Korni unsteadily.
"In the face of that determination, the road will naturally open!"
"Wow, Korni!"
"Pickup!"
Xiaozhi and others looked excited and happy, while Kerni turned around full of energy.
"I'm just kidding~"
After Lu Ze winked at Xiaozhi and others, Korni's Lucario, who was following Lu Ze, also took a run-up, jumped up and landed next to Korni.
"Kah!"
"Lucario is here too!"
"Pikachu~"
After Lucario raised his hand to say hello, Ash and Pikachu also happily said hello to their old friend.
"Kerni is still so full of energy." Serena was equally excited.
"Everyone is in good spirits too. Welcome to Salo City!"
"Did you come here specially to greet us?"
"Well, I thought you were almost there, so I'll be waiting here."
After Korni smiled and nodded, Lu Ze also appeared in everyone's sight.
"Hey! Mr. Lu Ze!"
After seeing Lu Ze come out, Xiaozhi instantly became excited: "Mr. Lu Ze, I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Why?"
Seeing Xiaozhi's enthusiastic look, Lu Ze was a little stunned.
Xiaozhi…
You shouldn’t know yourself, right?
It is known that Xiaozhi's croaking frog in Hoopa The Movie evolved into a croaking frog.
It is known that when Xiaozhi challenged the Sara Gym, the croaking frog had not yet evolved into the croaking frog.
From this we can see that Hupa’s theatrical version takes place after challenging the Sara Gym.
So, now that Ash has not challenged the Sara Gym, the Hupa Theatrical Edition should not have happened.
In other words, Xiaozhi probably doesn’t know him!
Regardless of whether the theatrical version is an independent world or mixed in with the plot, Xiaozhi probably doesn't know him.
But now Xiaozhi calls his name right away...
Look at Serena and Pikachu next to them, and Citron's reaction.
Did they really recognize themselves?
"Long time no see, Xiaozhi, how is Hupa?"
After thinking quickly in his mind, Lu Ze did not show anything was wrong, and also reached out to say hello to Xiaozhi and the others.
"Hupa said he misses you, but he can't seem to find your coordinates."
"Pica~"
Xiaozhi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"That's it."
"Mr. Lu Ze, does he have any Pokémon with him?"
After seeing Lu Ze, Xiaozhi obviously remembered what he said when they parted last time.
"This time, of course I brought it with me."
Lu Ze smiled, then looked at Kerni: "But I just got the combat badge."
"If you want to challenge me, wait until you successfully challenge the Sara Gym."
Lu Ze smiled, Xiaozhi's talent was very strong.
Every time he successfully challenges a gym, his strength will improve a lot.
There's no point in fighting the current Xiaozhi.
It's like bullying a child.
Let’s see how much our strength will improve after challenging the Sara Gym.
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
After Xiaozhi nodded and agreed, he turned to look at Korni.
"Are you ready to challenge the gym?"
Kerni naturally understood what Xiaozhi meant, so she took the initiative to ask Xiaozhi.
"That's natural!"
Xiaozhi looked confident, but Serena next to him was a little worried: "Obviously, there is no battle plan at all..."
"I have continued to practice since then, fighting all the way..."
Korni said and glanced at Lu Ze.
"I only lost to brother Ozawa!"
Seeing Xiaozhi's confident look, Kerni didn't want to be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum, so she said with some pride.
The way he puts his hands on his hips is really cute.
Lu Ze couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at Korni's appearance.
"Does that mean you always win?"
"Kerni is so amazing!"
Serena and Yurika couldn't help but praise.
But while praising him, he also looked at Lu Ze.
Kerni, who had always won, lost to Lu Ze.
Then Lu Ze must be very powerful.
Not only Serena and Yurika, but also Ash Ketchum and Pikachu also looked over.
"Sure enough, a trainer who owns a mythical beast must be very strong!"
Xiaozhi felt himself getting excited.
