【Rock Fall】

When the Mane Rock Werewolf lifts up the massive rock of the island.

For the cypress and the super steel snake looking up from below, the name of this Z move seems to be partially interpreted.

"Z's move is really different."

He sighed.

The power of the Z move in the game is only two hundred and two, and usually it is only two hundred, which is not as powerful as the big bang.

But in the anime, it has much more power than the basic moves.

Because of the hard work of the animation production team, the Z move has the expressiveness combined with those crazy and dazzling names.

The performance of Rock Z made Kashiwagi look forward to what kind of power he could exert after getting the Z bracelet and Z pure crystal.

But for now......

"It's your turn."

Kashiwagi stared at the sky-covering boulder that had been thrown down by the Mane Rock Werewolf like the top of Mount Tai, and was unheard of the terrible hum beside him like a high-energy reactor reaching its highest tipping point.

He raised his hand: "Smash it!" ”

Boom!

The earth settles in a tremble.

The silver dragon harnesses the endless sand and gravel, roaring through the air!

"Roar!!"

A thunderous roar was heard from above the sky, and the entire body of the super steel snake that hit the boulder bloomed with a crystal-like brilliant mercury brilliance.

Suddenly.

It turned into a beam of silver light that was difficult to touch, and the rings that swirled around it were like bands of light from planets, forming an incomparably beautiful and shocking scene.

And then.

Puff——!!

[Heavy Impact]!

The boulders that obscured the sky and the sun disintegrated inch by inch with a heart-pounding boom.

The silver glow easily pierced through the entire massive rock, making it shatter like a meteorite that had been shattered by a missile!

For the first time, Gragio looked horrified.

Above the sky.

The Nightmane Werewolf only felt a sudden silver light in his sight, and the hard boulder it trusted easily shattered.

Before it could express any thoughts, the silver light quickly took over its full attention.

"Whew-"

The maned werewolf's cry came to an abrupt end.

Rumble!!

As countless large and small debris rained down, a majestic cloud of smoke covered the otherwise clear sky by the beach.

Kashiwagi thought he was going to be smashed.

Unexpectedly, the gravel turned into fine sand and fell with the wind halfway.

Z moves are amazing.

Boom!

The metal behemoth fell from the smoke at great speed, its terrifying weight causing the ground to tremble, and the fall of the Nightmane Werewolf was nothing compared to it.

On the beach.

Gragio picks up the incapacitated Maned Werewolf.

His silence was deafening.

As a wealthy young master, Gragio was never short of knowledge, and before something happened, the family often traveled around the world to watch the top trainer competitions.

He knows exactly what it means to be powerful.

So.

When the super steel snake pierced through the [Destroying the Rock Fall] that he was proud of like a meteor.

Gragio realized that there was a giant he needed to look up to.

The head-to-head confrontation with Rock Z was so easy......

He looked at the super large steel snake whose body reflected a snow-silver metallic luster like unstained dust, and couldn't help but wonder if he also had such strength, and could protect everything he cherished.

It's okay to think about it.

"Maned Werewolf, thank you."

He softly thanked him and took the Maned Werewolf back into the ball.

The battle is over.

It ended in his fiasco.

But Gragio was not disappointed, on the contrary, a long-lost excitement overflowed in his heart.

This strange trainer may be more powerful than the king of the islands, if you can learn from him-

The thought came to mind.

Gragio's heart was like someone poured cold water on him, and he quickly calmed down.

He has secrets that can't be exposed.

No one knows that he actually owns the third Pokémon besides Moon Eevee and Maned Rock Werewolf, and the important thing is that there is only one Pokémon in the whole world.

Gragio knew that he had only just met the other party, and he didn't even know what the powerful trainer was called.

He can't bet.

The other side.

Kashiwagi fiercely praised the big steel snake that had changed back to its original form.

As he had previously thought, the Great Steel Serpent was more talented at collision moves than Boskodora.

Even the so-called boulder that can "destroy the world" is a huge rock that can "destroy the world" and is only broken into countless dregs like a biscuit that has been stepped on.

This has not yet triggered the trait [Power of Sand].

If we can make up for the relatively slow start, it will not be a problem to beat Reggis Chirou, who was previously held to a draw for too long.

He raised his hand slightly and said: "Grasp the expertise of both hands, one sand wall and one charge, control and attack, there will definitely be no problem in the future." ”

"Roar~"

The serpent leaned down so that the trainer could stroke his head.

Sometimes simplicity and focus can be exchanged for extraordinary power, just like Ash's Pikachu learns new moves every year.

The three-plate axe with 100,000 volts, iron tail and electric flashes has never been forgotten.

After appeasing the big steel snake that was still unfinished with the battle, Kashiwagi gave Boskodora, who was watching the whole time, a look and walked towards the opposite side.

Unexpectedly, without waiting for him to speak, Gragio took the lead in making a statement:

"Your strength is admirable, thank you so much for your willingness to take on this matchup."

The excellent etiquette that did not match the dress in the late second year made Kashiwagi realize that the person opposite was still a rich young master with family roots.

A smile appeared on his face and he said, "You're welcome, I'm also glad to be able to fight you after dinner." ”

"I'm afraid I'll challenge you again. Now allow me to take my leave and go to the Pokémon Center to heal my partner. ”

Gragio bowed his head slightly in respect, but he was not at all interested in talking, and he was ready to run away after saying a few words.

Kashiwagi hurriedly stopped the impatient guy: "Wait a minute! I have a few small questions that I hope you can answer. ”

“…… Please. ”

Gragio was wondering what he was going to ask, when he saw the latter's gaze fall on the Z bracelet on his wrist, and suddenly realized: "This thing is called the Z bracelet, and the crystal inlaid on it is called Z Pure Crystal, which is a powerful force that belongs to the Alola region. ”

Kashiwagi pretended not to understand and said, "The ability that the Mane Rock Werewolf exerted just now is derived from this thing?" ”

"Yes, when Pokémon resonate with the trainer's mind, they can invoke the power of nature through Z-bracelets inlaid with Z Pure Crystals and specific dance moves!"

The second junior briefly danced, not feeling ashamed at all, and said seriously: "This one in my hand is called Rock Z, which can use the Z move of the rock attribute [Destroying the Earth Giant Rock Fall]!" ”

Kashiwagi looked at the colorful description, nodded in understanding, and said, "It's not the first time I've seen it, and there was also a trainer from Eevee who used it at the Saiyu tournament in the Hoenn region last year. ”

"Ibrahim's trainer."

Gragio's brows furrowed, and he quickly let go, and said, "Z bracelets and Z pure crystals are not uncommon in the Alola region, as long as you can participate in the islands tour and pass the great test of the king of the islands, you can get them. ”

Hearing this, Kashiwagi asked:

"Is it okay for outsiders?"

All the previous questions are intended to foreshadow this last sentence.

The Tour of the Islands is a special ritual given by the king of the islands to school-age children in the Alola region, and the protagonist who moved to the Alola region in the game can participate, and the medicine man who moved to the Alola region in the simulation can also participate.

But both are boys and girls in their early teens.

Is he an adult tourist?

Kashiwagi is very worried that Hara, the king of the island, will reject him due to age or some other factors, and when the time comes, he will probably have to ask the Boss Liuge to follow the path of Medan.

The king of the island was affiliated with the international police in the game, and Liuge may be able to find a connection.

Ash?

It's true that Ash is also here to travel, but the Z bracelet was given by Kapu Mingming, and Hala can't admit it if she wants to.

Under his expectant gaze, Gragio shook his head.

"I'm sorry I don't know the basic requirements for the islands tour, but Hara, the king of the islands of Merlot Island, lives in the small town of Lily, so you might want to check it out."

"Okay, thanks."

Kashiwagi was a little disappointed in his heart, thinking that the other party, as an outsider who moved to the Alola area, could more or less give him a hint.

Unfortunately not.

Gragio, who had answered his doubts, left.

Although the Pokémon in the Poké Ball are in a stable state, he also wants to heal his Pokémon as soon as possible.

——

Inside the wooden house.

Kashiwagi silently prepares the plan.

There is more than one way to get the Z-Band, from the King of the Island, from the Island Patronus, or even from someone else, such as Team Rocket.

He definitely hopes that the method of getting the Z bracelet will be normal and participate in the islands tour smoothly.

Hence this last basic exclusion.

Island patron saint?

Like Dream, the Kapu family is a legendary Pokémon that is notoriously moody and makes people wonder what it's thinking.

Kashiwagi didn't dare to get anything from it, as long as he didn't come to toss him......

I hope so.

He remembered that Kapu Mingming was notoriously warlike and had a well-known belligerent personality, so once his strength was exposed, there was a high probability that he would attract Kapu Mingming, who symbolized [war].

Even the scene of the super steel snake crashing through the rock Z just now has been discovered by it, and now it is very likely to lie on the skylight and peep.

Hehe.

The brain hole suddenly got bigger.

Kashiwagi looked up at the skylight in amusement.

A strange orange-haired creature with arms resembling a bird's head came into view.

The two sides looked at each other.

Nest grass!?

Kashiwagi got up quickly, and Kapu Mingming outside the skylight withdrew his gaze and drifted away, and by the time he chased outside, the patronus was nowhere to be seen.

"Did you see that?"

He turned to ask about Boskodora and the Great Steel Serpent, who had been outside.

The two looked at each other, and question marks flashed on their faces.

See?

What do you see?

Kashiwagi asked about the other Pokémon in disappointment, but he received a reply that he didn't see it, as if everything just now was his delusion.

But how could it be.

He looked at the endless tropical forest behind the hut with mixed feelings.

It stands to reason that Kapu Mingming should be silently following Ash at the moment, how can he have the leisure time to share his attention to him?

Then again, did Ash find Nebula?

Kashiwagi's thoughts drifted away, and he suddenly pulled back.

He realized that he could actually consult one person about the Z-bracelet and the Tour of the Islands, Dr. Kukuy!

I believe that this person will be able to generously answer his doubts.

"I'm going to go on a trip! I might go shopping in the city for a while, but do you want to go together? ”

Kashiwagi shouted a few words inside and outside the house.

Because he was just going to talk to Dr. Kukuy, he wasn't prepared to shout out all the Pokémon with great fanfare.

After all, since you're in the Alola region, there's no need to stay in the Poké Ball all day, and everyone is moving appropriately.

A few minutes later.

"Whoa—"

The three dragons raised their heads and howled excitedly, flapping their six wide wings and carrying their beloved trainer into the sky.

That pesky locomotive has finally been abandoned!

That's great!

It always felt that the smelly two-wheeler couldn't compare to it, but the trainer always liked to ride it.

The three dragons had almost forgotten the last time they had carried their trainers in the sky.

Fortunately, it has finally waited for this day.

Long live Alola!

The three dragons roared excitedly, causing many passing bird Pokémon to look sideways.

Kashiwagi looked helpless.

Sometimes it's really not that he doesn't want to ride, it's really not that the conditions don't allow, he can choose three evil dragons, he must choose three evil dragons first, and he rode it when he returned to Meteor Village to rest a few days ago.

Who knew that this guy would compete with a motorcycle for favor and eat the vinegar of a motorcycle!

It's really hard to understand.

"Fly over there!"

He patted the three dragons on their thick necks and guided them to Dr. Kukuy's institute.

It's still early.

Dr. Kukui and Ash shouldn't have gone to Pokémon School yet-

Is it wrong?

Three dragons flew over Dr. Kukuy's institute, and Kashiwagi's gaze swept over the empty beach and quiet wooden houses, prompting the former to land and knock on the door.

"Is anyone home, please?"

There was no answer.

Went to school and work?

It's early!

Kashiwagi returned to the back of the three dragons, thought about it and decided to go to the Pokémon school, anyway, sooner or later.

"Let's go! Go to school! ”

"Whoa!"

The three dragons flapped their wings and flew away, and in the blink of an eye, they led the trainer to the sky above a strange complex.

Pokémon School.

The main stage of the animation Sun and Moon, where most of the plot takes place.

For the first time, the Pokémon animated series has also changed from a road trip mode to a fixed stage unit drama mixed with a main story mode.

Due to the sudden change in the style of painting and the wonderful arrangement of the last season of XY, the attention of the sun and the moon has greatly decreased.

But Kashiwagi liked it very much.

Further infantilization makes Ash and Pikachu's various memes less obtrusive, and the occasional battle is well funded.

What's more, Liliai, Mao, and Water Lotus are really cute!

"Whoa!"

Three evil dragons slowly descended outside the campus.

While it shouldn't be a big deal to end up on campus, it's best not to do that and walk in honestly.

Just as Kashiwagi was about to go inside, a Dr. Oki somehow came out of the grass next to him.

He said, "May I ask you what's the matter?" ”

A weird tone, an inexplicable Pokémon joke, and a swarthy face that mimics a trumpet bud like a change.

The corners of Kashiwagi's mouth twitched unconsciously.

It's you!

Known as a man with a thousand Poké faces-Naiya Daiki!
