Chapter 2997 Adjacent cabin neighbors?

While Kukui was still busy cooking, the rock dog also followed behind with his tail wagging, intending to help. There was no room for another person in the kitchen.

"Doctor, take your time, I'll go out for a walk first~!"

After hearing Kukui's echo from the kitchen, Xiaozhi put Eevee on his shoulders, pushed open the wooden house and went out.

Well, it's a little strange that instead of Pikachu on the shoulder, it turns into an Eevee?

But he hadn't taken a good look at the beach just now. Xiaozhi took a deep breath and looked around.

"It's almost lunch time, so let's hang around near the door."

Xiaozhi did not go far. He looked around and found that the beach looked very empty, as did the sea directly in front. There was no shelter and the view was wide.

But about two to three hundred meters adjacent to the wooden house, very unexpectedly, there was also a wooden house built on the beach.

When I came here just now, my attention was all on Kukui's house and I hadn't seen it yet.

"Beep! Besides Dr. Kukui, is there anyone interested in building a house on the beach? Lotto?!"

Rotom turned around and took a picture of the house in the distance.

The house over there is much smaller than Kukui's research institute - this is both Kukui's home and his research institute.

It's only about 1/3 of the size, and the sea surface connected in front is a reef area. Rugged reefs of different heights protrude from the water. Some of the rocks are also covered with Pokémon such as Good and Bad Stars and Slowpoke that disgrace the scenery.

Well, it’s not a beautiful coastline scenery.

Unknowingly, Xiaozhi had walked outside the neighbor's cabin.

The door was closed and the windows were sealed tightly, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

However, some footprints can still be seen on the steps at the door, which are not covered by sand. It is obviously not an abandoned hut that has been unoccupied for a long time.

Could he be Dr. Kukui's friend?

"Oh Xiaozhi, why did you come here~?"

While he was trying hard to study, Kukui's voice suddenly came from behind.

Turning his head, Xiaozhi found that Kukui was still wearing a scarf, and there were even some traces of charcoal on his face, as if he had fought a battle with the kitchen.

"The meal is ready, let's go back!"

"Oh, by the way, doctor, this house is?"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but point at the room in front of him, always feeling gloomy.

"This is the house where a young and outstanding trainer lives. He is probably about the same age as Ash, right~?"

When he mentioned this person, Kukui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he obviously admired him very much.

"Are you the same age as me?"

Xiaozhi secretly murmured, should they be students from the Pokémon School, or students with excellent grades who graduated early?

"By the way, didn't I just say that this person lived in your little attic before?"

Speaking of this, Kukui was still a little proud.

Although the other party later moved out, he probably fell in love with the environment of his institute, so he built his own wooden house on the beach a few hundred meters away. It is currently his only neighbor.

It's just the other person's personality preference, a bit curious!

Kukui rubbed his head and looked at the rough sea reef area directly in front of the wooden house with some distress.

Especially at night, it is even gloomy!

That's right, the child himself is quite gloomy, so he probably chose such an area as the scenery in front of the door.

"But she went to other islands recently. I won't be at home for the time being until she comes back. Let me introduce you two to each other~!"

Kukui urged Xiaozhi to go home:

"Anyway, let's try my special Alola specialties first~!!"

When it came to cooking, Xiaozhi's stomach started to growl, so he simply suppressed his curiosity, licked the corners of his mouth and walked quickly back to the research institute.

Until I saw three plates of unknown carbon-black objects placed on the dining table.

Xiaozhi: "?"

One of the plates of food was vaguely shaped like a heart, which made Xiaozhi bite the bullet and look at the large landscaped water tank next to it.

Well, the two love fish are still there, so it shouldn’t be so outrageous.

Maybe it just doesn’t look good, but it actually tastes okay?

Under Dr. Kukui's eager gaze, he grabbed a fork and tried to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth

“Missing Citron’s first day!”

This was the only thought in Xiaozhi's mind.

The most outrageous thing is that Kukui seems to have realized that his cooking skills are terrible until now.

"Haha~ Actually, I live alone most of the time and don't cook~"

Kukui smiled dryly and said, studying cooking is much more difficult than studying academics!

"Sure enough, let's go to Aina Restaurant to solve the problem of eating in the future."

Aina Restaurant is a restaurant owned by Mao's family. It is located near the school. It has a wide variety of stews, barbecues, and seafood fried rice. Kukui basically has three meals there on weekdays.

"Reliable!"

Xiaozhi nodded solemnly, restaurant takeout is the best choice!

For the first time, there was resonance between two men who didn't even cook.

Not only now, Xiaozhi always feels that he has met Dr. Kukui somewhere before?

The latter gave him a very familiar feeling.

Moreover, there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy?

Dinner was not the main point. After barely eliminating these unknown objects, Kukui's eyes fell on Eevee, who was eating with Rock Dog next to him, and his expression gradually became serious.

"There is a prop that can transform the Ice Dragon Kyurem. Does this Eevee also have the Gene Wedge?"

"And it can evolve and degenerate at will in various evolutionary forms!?"

He had listened to Xiaozhi's description in full and was horrified. This Eevee has extraordinary potential.

According to Mr. Akrom, Eevee's exclusive Z-Crystal may indeed produce a wonderful reaction with Eevee's special Gene Wedge, thereby helping the latter to control its own evolution.

"Although I haven't seen Eevee's specific Z-Crystal yet, there is a chance that it exists."

Kukui pushed his glasses. Although ordinary Z moves are not common in the Alola region, they are not particularly rare.

Rare ones should be the exclusive Z-Crystals of specific Pokémon.

For example, his Blazing Roaring Tiger has an exclusive Z-Crystal, which can be used to perform a unique evil-attribute Z-Move!

Eevee's words

"I don't know much about this kind of Pokémon, but I know a student who is very good at commanding Eevee to fight, and he also has a general Z-Crystal that Eevee can use. It seems that he has been looking for Eevee's exclusive Z-Crystal before, and now he may have found it."

Kukui flipped through the phone address book seriously, and muttered in his mouth:

"He is an outstanding graduate of our school, he should be 2 years older than you, and he passed several island tours before graduation."

"When I contact him, I will arrange for you two to meet."

"Good."

Hearing this, Xiaozhi was overjoyed and nodded with satisfaction. The first task is still going very smoothly!
