Pokémon: Newborn Ash Ketchum, starting from Hoenn

"Alola, Professor Kukui!"

Today, Xiaozhi is finally going to start his first island tour in his life - the great test of Melemele Island!

The Pilgrimage to the Islands is a traditional ritual unique to the Alola region. It replaces the previous gym challenge mode in various regions. For Ash, this is undoubtedly a brand new challenge.

In the tropical Alola region, children who turn 11 are eligible to embark on the challenge of the island pilgrimage. They will travel the entire Alola region and break through the tests set by the four islands one by one.

These tests are not easy, they cover various forms, including fierce battles with Pokémon, searching for key items, testing wisdom, etc. Every challenge is full of uncertainty and surprises.

After completing those tests, challengers will have to challenge the dominant Pokémon. These dominant Pokémon have strong power, and only by defeating them can they gain true recognition.

The final test is a big test of fighting Pokémon against the King or Queen of the island that governs the island. The King and Queen of the island are on their respective islands. They are all chosen by the four guardian gods, Tapu, Kokoro, etc., and have extremely high status and prestige.

If you beat this big test, you will officially have completed all the tests on the island and can be considered one of the top trainers in the area.

The king of the island of Melemele is an old man named Hala, who is a respected elder.

Since Xiaozhi is preparing to start the pilgrimage of the islands, Professor Kukui said that he could take Xiaozhi to meet Mr. Hala, so the two agreed to go together today.

Starting from Dr. Kukui's laboratory, Xiaozhi and his friends headed north along Route 1, aiming to reach the town of Lili. According to Dr. Kukui, Mr. Hala, the king of the island, lived there.

After leaving the bustling Haole City, they entered a peaceful rural area with large tracts of farmland planted with a large number of phoenix fruits.

However, when they just arrived at this place, there was a sudden commotion in front of them. Xiaozhi and Professor Kukui walked forward curiously to check the situation.

A group of people gathered together, and it seemed that something had happened. Miss Junsha also rushed to the scene. She announced to everyone with a loudspeaker: "Please note that this road is closed to traffic until the wood is cleared. Please cooperate and take a detour!"

Unlike the Junsa that Xiaozhi knew before, Miss Junsa in the Alola region showed a different kind of gentleness. She looked very cute when holding the trumpet.

After all, the land and water nurture the people!

The two men walked forward and understood what was happening. It turned out that the farmers here were transporting wood on a Kentaro cart, but for some unknown reason they were suddenly disturbed, causing the cart to overturn and the wood on the cart to fall down, blocking the intersection.

"What happened, Miss Junsha?"

Seeing the two people coming, Miss Junsha hurriedly bowed respectfully, and then told them the situation in detail: "It was a group of wild Ladas and small Ladas that destroyed the farm fields. When they were escaping, they rushed onto the road in a panic, which caused the current situation!"

Just as Xiaozhi was about to help, suddenly, a tall, strong, white-haired old man appeared in front of him. The old man looked over 70 years old, but his body was still full of strength and vitality, and he was followed by a Super Power King!

The old man effortlessly carried the thick wood one by one and placed it steadily on the Kentaro. Each of these woods was very heavy, and ordinary people would need to spend a lot of effort to lift them, but the old man seemed to do it easily.

Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile: "Old man, you don't need to be so troublesome!"

After saying that, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and he began to use his superpowers. As he controlled it, all the wood seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, slowly rising, and then neatly falling on the Kentaro car.

Even the piece of wood on the old man's shoulder was not spared and was moved onto the car.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, without any pause or lag. All of this was seen by old man Hara, but he did not show any surprise. On the contrary, he raised his head and his eyes met Xiaozhi's.

"Is this a superpower? It's really convenient!" Grandpa Hara said with a smile, a hint of appreciation in his tone.

Dr. Kukui hurried forward and introduced Xiaozhi: "Xiaozhi, this is Mr. Hala, the king of the island!"

Xiaozhi immediately introduced himself, "Hello Mr. Hala, my name is Xiaozhi, from Pallet Town, thank you for your guidance!"

At this time, Miss Junsha also came over. She first gave Xiaozhi and the other two a standard military salute, and then sincerely expressed her gratitude: "Thank you very much for your great help!"

Xiaozhi smiled and waved his hands, indicating that it was just a small favor. Then Miss Junsha left.

"Xiaozhi, I heard Kukui mention you! Especially that you have the Z-Band and Z-Moves that I have never seen before!" Grandpa Hara smiled at Xiaozhi, "If I am not mistaken, you are here for a big test, right? Then follow me!"

Seeing this, Xiaozhi and the others quickly followed Grandpa Hala's footsteps and arrived at Grandpa Hala's house.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiaozhi was shocked by the scene in front of him. Grandpa Hara's house was filled with various Z bracelets, which were obviously made by him.

Grandpa Hala warmly invited Xiaozhi and the others to sit down, then he looked at Xiaozhi seriously and said, "Xiaozhi, you should have heard about what happened just now, right? The residents of the island have been troubled by wild Rattata and baby Rattata recently. They are always causing trouble and bringing a lot of trouble to everyone. So, I want to ask if you have any solution to this problem?"

Then he added: "However, fighting must be excluded. After all, the concept of the island tour appeared in the Alola region a long time ago. This is not just to cultivate the combat ability of trainers and Pokémon, but at a deeper level!"

"That is to cultivate young people who love Alola Island, Pokémon, humans, and everything, and who can protect all of these."

From these words, we can see that the test has begun, and the answers to the questions have prerequisites. You need to think carefully before answering, and you can't act rashly! This is one of the tests, wisdom questions and answers!

The Rattata and Rattata in the Alola region are different from the ones that Xiaozhi saw in the Kanto region. They are Alola forms of Rattata and Rattata, and their attributes have become a combination of Dark and Normal!

It is actually not difficult to solve this problem. You just need to find their natural enemies and drive them away!

Dr. Kukui crossed his arms and smiled, "Come to think of it, Mr. Hara has asked me similar complicated questions in the past!"

Xiaozhi did not rush to give an answer, but raised his eyebrows, looked at Dr. Kukui, and asked curiously: "Dr. Kukui, have you participated in the island tour before?"

Dr. Kukui nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes, I have participated in the island tour before!"

Xiaozhi nodded, then looked at Grandpa Hala and grinned, "This question is very simple. If the Rattata in Alola were really so rampant, they wouldn't have come out to destroy it now! So I guess they must have natural enemies, and we just need to let them drive them away!"

"Rotom, pull up Alol Rada's data!"
