Chapter 955 Shopping! Exploring Treasure Island

Today is a rare weekend, but Xiaozhi was dragged out shopping by Latias.

In the shopping street of Melemele Island, Xiaozhi and Latias ran into Liliae and her two daughters who were shopping together, accompanied by two strong men, Kachi and Mamane.

After a crazy shopping spree, Latias, Liliae and the other two girls decided to go to Alola Sun City to continue shopping. Upon hearing this proposal, Kachi and Mamane immediately panicked and found an excuse to run away.

Hoopa and Victini did not go out with them because, for these two playful little guys, this boring shopping activity was far less interesting than watching TV programs at home.

Recently, Hoopa, Victini, and Rotom have been obsessed with watching the TV series "Alola Detective Ratchet".

Therefore, Xiaozhi only brought Pikachu, Eevee and Meloetta with him when he went out. At this moment, all the strong men brought by Liliae and the other two girls had fled the scene, leaving Xiaozhi alone.

Xiaozhi didn't run away. In fact, he couldn't escape because Latias had been holding his arm tightly. He said helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't run away. But where is Alola Sun City?"

"This is a very popular jewelry store among the girls on Melemele Island!" Liliae's eyes sparkled as she hugged Bai Gungun. "I've always wanted to go to Alola Sun City!"

Mao explained to Xiaozhi in detail with excitement, "Using the heart scales that drifted to the seashore, the sun coral horns and the like, these things made from natural things are very beautiful!"

"set off!"

----------

The accessories in Alola Sun City are all made from natural products and are very popular among girls. Xiaozhi also bought some accessories for Serena and the others here, and planned to have Hoopa give them to them when he returns.

Xiaozhi shopped very quickly. After he quickly paid and packed up a bunch of things, Liliae and the others were still in the store, happily choosing products with the Pokémon.

Xiaozhi casually put all his belongings aside and walked out of the store, enjoying the fresh sea breeze.

This store is located on the seaside, overlooking the blue sea. There is an uninhabited island on the other side of the sea.

"That little island, people call it 'Treasure Island'!" The store manager walked up to Xiaozhi and said, "Sometimes I go to that island to collect materials for making accessories. That's my fun, and I can meet many wild Pokémon there."

After hearing these words, Xiaozhi nodded and said that he planned to go to the island to take a look.

"Xiaozhi, sorry to have kept you waiting!" Liliae and the others finally came out of the store, each holding several bags filled with various items.

"We're done shopping!"

"Great, then the time is perfect!" Xiaozhi pointed to the Treasure Island in the distance, "I was just thinking about going to that island to take a look!"

Then he handed all the things he bought to Latias and Meloetta. With their super powers, it was easy for them to take these things back.

Liliae, Suiren, and Mao also said goodbye to Xiaozhi and went home.

Arriving at the deserted beach, Xiaozhi looked at Pikachu and Eevee on his shoulders with a smile, "Let's go!"

"Pika!" "Booey!" Pikachu and Eevee responded happily.

Xiaozhi threw the Poké Ball in his hand with a smile on his face and shouted loudly: "Weakling Fish, it's decided that it's you!"

A ray of light flashed, and the sea monster, the squid, appeared before his eyes.

Xiaozhi took Pikachu and Eevee to ride on the broad back of the weakling. They held on to the fins of the weakling tightly and felt the breeze. As the weakling swam, they quickly left the coast and headed towards the treasure island.

Treasure Island was not far from where Xiaozhi was, but because the Weevilfish was very fast, they arrived at their destination in just half an hour.

Xiaozhi, Pikachu and Eevee stood on the beach of Treasure Island, admiring the beautiful scenery around them, and then said to Squidward: "Thank you, Squidward. You can move around freely in the next period of time, and we will go back together in the evening!"

The fish made a low sound, then dived into the sea and disappeared beneath the waves.

"Pika!" Pikachu's ears suddenly jumped and he pulled Xiaozhi's trouser leg. Xiaozhi followed Pikachu's gaze and found a noise coming from the beach.

"Let's go and have a look!" Xiaozhi curiously took Pikachu and Eevee to the area. When they got closer, they saw a group of Crabs gathered in a circle and were having a fierce boxing match.

These competitive crabs are full of fighting spirit, waving their claws and gathering in a group. The two competitive crabs in the middle are particularly eye-catching, and their fight is particularly fierce.

These competitive crabs are exactly the evolved form of Grandpa Hala's competitive hairy crab.

"That little guy is going to win!" Xiaozhi looked at one of the competitive crabs and smiled.

At this moment, the favored crab lived up to everyone's expectations and knocked the opponent away with a beautiful uppercut, then raised his fist and cheered excitedly. It successfully won the game and became the champion.

Xiaozhi became very interested in this victorious crab, but before he could take any action, they all suddenly ran away!

"Hey, what happened? What scared him away?" Xiaozhi was stunned, full of doubts. At this moment, a small and exquisite little creature, not even as big as a palm, appeared in front of them.

"It's a fly!" Xiaozhi suddenly realized and shook his head with a smile. It was really surprising that these competitive crabs were scared away by a small fly.

Xiaozhi, who was originally somewhat interested in the Crab, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Then Xiaozhi changed his target to the little guy, "Let's follow it!"

Xiaozhi, Pikachu and Eevee carefully followed MoeFly through dense woods and rugged mountain roads. Along the way, they encountered many other Pokémon, but none of them caught their attention.

Finally, they came to a beautiful flower field, full of colorful flowers and exuding charming fragrance.

A large group of horseflies are busy collecting nectar here, and they flutter lightly among the flowers, like a gorgeous dance. In addition to horseflies, other Pokémon such as Butterfree are also flying among the flowers, their wings flashing with brilliant light, like a dreamlike scene.

Outside the flower fields, a group of Alola coconut trees more than ten meters tall were swaying and lining up to pass by.

Such a beautiful scene made Ash, Pikachu and Eevee reluctant to leave. Then Ash and his friends explored other places on the Treasure Island. Although there were many Pokémon, none of them met Ash's standards.

Before he knew it, the sun was about to set and it was time for Xiaozhi to go back. Latias and the others should still be waiting for him for dinner!

Back on the beach, Xiaozhi suddenly heard a rustling sound that seemed to come from inside the cliff.

"What's that sound?" Xiaozhi walked towards the sound and found through the gap that it was a cowardly insect. It had somehow gotten into the crack in the cliff and was now trapped inside and unable to escape.

The cowardly bug, as its name suggests, is very timid and fearful. When it noticed Xiaozhi's gaze, it backed away in fear.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi took action immediately. He used his superpowers to teleport into the cliff in an instant, ready to get the coward out of the predicament.

However, the cowardly bug was frightened by Xiaozhi's actions and began to run around, trying to escape from this terrible environment. Xiaozhi quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

"Pika Pika!" "Booey~"

Xiaozhi continued to release the power of the sea and the power of Changpan, hoping to calm the emotions of the timid bug. After some efforts, the timid bug finally calmed down and was no longer panicked.

Xiaozhi took the opportunity to gently pick up the cowardly bug and carried it out of the cliff.

When they returned to the beach, Xiaozhi gently stroked its head and said, "It's okay, little guy. Be careful next time and don't go into dangerous places casually."

When the cowardly bug heard what Xiaozhi said, it nodded its head to show that it understood, but it did not leave. Instead, it followed Xiaozhi closely, as if it was afraid that he would disappear.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and said to the cowardly bug: "Little guy, do you want to go with me?"

Upon hearing this, the coward nodded excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation and dependence.

Xiaozhi immediately understood what the timid bug was thinking. The timid bugs usually act in groups, but this timid bug was trapped alone in the crevice of the rock wall. Its companions must have fled here long ago. Now, the only person it can trust is Xiaozhi.

So, Xiaozhi took out a Poké Ball and said to the cowardly bug with a smile: "In that case, I will work hard to train you into a mighty armored warrior!"

After saying that, he gently placed the Poké Ball on top of the Cowardly Bug's head. A red light flashed, and the Cowardly Bug was put into the Poké Ball.

【Cowardly Bug】

[Gender: Male]

[Attributes: insect, water]

[Features: Eager to flee (When half of its stamina is left, it will jump away in a hurry)]

[Strength: Normal Peak]

[Moves: Sand Throw, Insect Resistance, Water Jet]

This is already the sixth Pokémon that Ash has captured in Alola. Frightful's timidity is the result of his natural characteristics, but for Ash, he has a characteristic replacement card!

As long as this item is used, the characteristics of the cowardly bug can be changed. After that, Xiaozhi will have the confidence to train this cowardly bug into a brave and powerful real warrior.

However, to Xiaozhi's surprise, this cowardly bug actually has a genetic trick of water jet. This discovery made Xiaozhi very surprised and also made him have higher expectations for the potential of this cowardly bug.

After taming this cowardly bug, night had already fallen completely. There was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, and the faint moonlight was shining on the earth.

Just then, a figure appeared in the moonlight, with colorful scales all over its body, and a very cute posture.

Xiaozhi recognized the figure at a glance: "Kapu Butterfly? Is he here to remind me that I should go to Akala Island for the test?"

As he watched Tapu Butterfly gradually disappear in the moonlight, a smile appeared on Xiaozhi's face.
