After laughing, Dr. Soragi said, "I'm actually here to be commissioned to work on a Poké Ball. ”

After speaking, he looked at Xia You's dusty appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Let me guess, you can come here to challenge the Hinoki Gym, right?" ”

"That's right." Xia You nodded, "I'm here this time to challenge Ah Bi, the owner of the Hinoki Gym!" ”

Dr. Kuki pushed his glasses and planned Xia You's journey in his mind.

"Judging from the location of Hinoki Town, you can only come to challenge at this time, it must have taken a big circle, by the way, how many badges have you collected?"

"It's been a big circle, but fortunately, I've gained a lot along the way, and as for the badge, I've already got the sixth."

"Six," Dr. Kuki sighed, "It's not slow anymore, as far as I know, there are a lot of trainers who have set out from Wakaba Town, and they've only collected four or five so far." ”

Isn't it really slow?

Xia You smiled and shook his head, but didn't explain anything.

If he hadn't been distracted by Team Rocket or anything else, and had just focused on challenging the Gym, he would have collected all eight badges a long time ago, and he wouldn't have had to drag it on for so long.

But in that case, you won't be able to exercise your Pokémon at all, and you won't be able to experience the joy of traveling.

At this time, Dr. Kumu also noticed Lijia beside Xia You, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this young lady?" ”

"Let me introduce you to you." Xia You took a step back and introduced the two of them, "This is Lijia, the owner of the Yuhong Dao Hall in the Guandu area, and is now traveling with me, Lijia, this is Dr. Kuki, the authoritative Pokémon doctor in the Joto area, and a former student of Dr. Oki!" ”

Lijia gave a graceful salute, and her temperament and demeanor directly reflected her upbringing.

"Hello, Doctor."

"Hello, Miss Lijia."

Seeing that the two had greeted each other, Xia You asked, "Doctor, what do you mean by studying Poké Balls just now...?" ”

"It's a magical Poke Ball, brought by a trainer from the Guandu area, because there is no way to open it so far, so I was invited to study it together, by the way, since you are also here, then come with me to see it, maybe as a champion, you can give us some help!"

Hearing what Dr. Kumu said, Xia You already had a guess in his heart.

The magical Poké Ball that was brought all the way from Guandu to Hinoki Town means that Ash was brought back to the Oki Research Institute from the Orange Islands and then sent here to the GS Ball!

I didn't expect that after so long, these people still haven't studied it!

Well......

Anyway, it's okay now, and there's no hurry to challenge the gym, Xia You and Lijia glanced at each other, then agreed to Dr. Kumu, followed him, and walked towards the west side of the town together.

Hinoki Town is not very big or bustling, the streets are empty, and only occasionally pedestrians pass by, and the pace of life seems to be very slow.

In fact, in addition to the bustling big cities, most of the small cities and small towns in the Guandu and Johto areas are like this.

Along the way, they also saw that there were a lot of Dumb Beasts here, lying under the trees, on the walls, in the eaves, lazily basking in the sun, and in addition to that, there were even many 'Beware of Dumb Beasts' signs everywhere!

And the people here don't look strange to the dumb beasts, but live in harmony with them, even if they openly eat the fruit from the fruit stall, the stall owner turns a blind eye.

"Amazing, isn't it?" Dr. Kuki explained, "The people here have a special reverence for the Dumbbeasts, and some even consider them gods! ”

Lijia asked, "Is it because of that rain four hundred years ago?" ”

"That's right, that heavy rain saved this land and saved many lives, so since then, the Dumb Beast has been loved by the people here, even if there is any harm to the Dumb Beast, it is not allowed here, and it has to be sent to the police station!"

Dr. Kumu nodded at first, and after explaining a few words, he couldn't help but approve: "Even I know about this deed, it seems that you have done a lot of homework before you came!" ”

"Of course, this is called not fighting an unprepared battle!" Xia You said, but in the next second, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand and looked up at the sun, "Then again, this place is really hot." ”

"It's really hot." Dr. Kuki let out a long sigh, "The sun here is very poisonous, and because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the moist sea breeze can't blow in at all, so this is the reason for this. ”

"I see." Xia You suddenly said, "No wonder there was such a great drought four hundred years ago." ”

At this time, they walked past a dumb beast lying in the middle of the road, Lijia glanced at Xia You, and said softly: "There are so many dumb beasts, almost at your fingertips, don't you accept one?" ”

Xia You shook his head.

"No, I'm not interested in this kind of Pokémon, and if I really subdue them here, I will definitely be chased by the residents of the town, which is really worth the loss."

However, when it came to the Dumb Beast, Xia You subconsciously thought of the Dumb King who was subdued in the Orange Islands, and couldn't help but think of Nazi.

At this moment, Nazi is doing what is she doing in the Golden Yellow Hall?

While chatting, the three of them passed through most of the juniper town and came to the northwest corner of the town.

Standing in front of an old-fashioned mansion that occupies a large area, Dr. Kugi said, "Alright, here we are, this is Mr. Steel's home." ”

He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a short time, a little girl opened the courtyard door and revealed half of her body.

This little girl was only about four or five years old, with two small pigtails that were rolled up, and she looked like a big ghost.

"Who are you looking for?" She asked in a crisp voice.

"Hello." Dr. Kugi stepped forward with a kind smile on his face, "I'm Dr. Kuragi, and I'm here at the invitation of Mr. Steel. ”

"Ahh I know you! Hearing Dr. Kuki's name, the little girl suddenly said, "Grandpa told me that if there is a doctor who wears glasses like a monkey, let him in directly!" ”

Dr. Kuki: ......

Xia You and Lijia couldn't help laughing, but because of Dr. Kumu, no one dared to laugh.

Got a monkey......

In fact, when he first met Dr. Kuki, looking at his thin appearance and the unique head shape on his head, Xia You also had such a feeling.

"It's Mr. Steel's granddaughter...... Dr. Kuki smiled awkwardly, "really...... It's lively and cute. ”
