He knows Pokémon better than me

The next day, Pokémon School.

In class, Xiaozhi did not stand on the podium today, but stood at the end as an auditor.

At this moment, in addition to Kukui, there was a white-haired woman on the podium.

She is about 20 years old, with a pretty appearance, long white hair tied up with a green hairband, and healthy dark skin.

He was wearing tight-fitting short-sleeved suspenders and shaping leggings, with a loose coat pinned to his waist. It looked like it should be a diving suit?

I didn't take it off after landing, I simply took off my shirt and tied it around my waist.

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me introduce you. This is Dr. Barnett!"

Kukui coughed in front of the podium, his face much more serious than usual.

Barnett is not an academic doctor who stays in a research institute all year round. As can be seen from the diving suit on her body, she often runs outdoors, and her personality is quite outgoing and free.

"Hello everyone, my name is Barnet. I am currently engaged in researching Pokémon from various places. I have a research institute in Kangdai City on Akala Island. I usually do outdoor inspections, and I especially like diving and surfing~!"

Barnett put her hands on her hips and introduced herself with a smile.

In the audience, Xiaozhi stood between Kaqi and Mamane, which was quite puzzling.

Is this Dr. Kukui, the doctor who often goes to the island next door to discuss research?

But why did Dr. Kukui look so nervous today? Although his face was sullen, his face and ears were visibly red.

"Hehe~ This one is Kukui-sensei's one~"

Next to him, Mamane smiled evilly at Xiaozhi, raised her little thumb and whispered.

Xiaozhi blinked, not understanding the meaning of Mamane's actions.

"As for Dr. Kukui's invitation to come to Pokémon School today, I'm actually here to give you an outdoor lesson."

After hearing this, everyone cheered up.

"That's it, I call it an outdoor riding device~!"

Barnett took out a green device similar to a slider phone from her arms, with an elf ball connected to the top.

"Riding device?"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but look at Kukui. He must have lent this thing to him before.

"Pokémon riding is actually not uncommon in the Alola region. Riding Pokémon and asking them to accomplish things that we humans can't do even in the classroom. In fact, some students should also do it on weekdays. More or less in use.”

Dr. Barnett looked at the crowd.

In the audience, Kaqi nodded. He rode a fire-breathing dragon across the island to attend class every day.

Shui Lian next to her also nodded. She usually rides the Chenglong that she raises at home and fishes in the offshore area.

There are also Kenteros, who were knocked unconscious by Ash just after school started. These are also riding Pokémon raised in Pokémon schools.

"The purpose of today's class is to give you a complete and systematic introduction to Pokémon riding, and even to enable you to actually use this machine~"

Barnett said with a smile, pulling down the whiteboard next to her. Various types of Pokémon rides had been marked on it in advance.

For each riding style, a specific mount Pokémon is also chosen.

"For example, for daily riding and long-distance travel, you can use the mount Kentero."

"And long-haired dogs with a sensitive sense of smell can also rely on their sense of smell to find treasures buried underground while riding."

"Riding a heavy mud draft horse can pass through rugged mountainous areas."

Cycling on the ground alone is divided into three categories.

Especially the long-haired dog riding. There are good things like Z Pure Crystal buried in the underground of Alola. If you ride a long-haired dog around every day, you might get something unexpected!

"On the water surface, it can be divided into dragon swimming, giant tooth shark jetting, and giant fin flying fish surfing~!"

Dr. Barnett introduced three more types of Pokémon rides, which made Suiren perk up.

Swimming by dragon is the most common, and you can do sea sailing and fishing.

The Megalodon Jet can use the powerful impact of the Megalodon to smash sea rocks. For example, there are many such reefs around Ten Carat Hill. If you use Chenglong normally, you will be blocked by the rocks. There is no way to enter the mountains.

As for giant fin surfing, this is a very popular sport in Alola.

"There is also a fire-breathing dragon flying and pushing with strange power."

The rest are just functional Pokémon rides.

Even pushing hard is not considered riding anymore——

The lower two hands of Guai Li held the trainer, and the upper two hands were used to push the stone.

"I see."

Xiaozhi suddenly understood.

There used to be special Secret Tool moves for these things, but the Alola region has tied these moves to specific Pokémon.

Everyone around was also discussing it.

For example, like Kentaro riding, but Kentero is very powerful when charging, it can actually replace the strange strength and use its horns to push heavy rocks?

"Although these Pokémon rides have more or less existed for a long time, the system has never been perfected. The Pokémon ride device I invented is just to allow trainers to use it as soon as possible when needed. Use Pokémon to ride.”

Dr. Barnett shook the small device in his hand and returned to the topic.

"Follow me to the playground downstairs, and I'll show you~!"

With that said, everyone followed Kukui and Dr. Barnett out of the classroom and walked outside.

Xiaozhi understood what Dr. Barnett was going to do. By pressing the riding device, he could release his riding partner just like a Poké Ball, which was very convenient.

After a while, everyone came to the playground behind the teaching building.

Barnett also started the riding device in her hand, and with a "bang", a Kentaro appeared in front of her.

And it was a Kentaro with a saddle installed on its back, ready to turn over at any time.

Seeing that everyone did not show too much surprise, after all, this is just a Poké Ball.

Even Kachi can now raise his hand and release his riding Charizard.

Barnett was not in a hurry and continued to press the device in his hand:

"It's not just Kentaro."

Then there were several sounds of Poké Balls popping up, and then a long-haired dog and a heavy mud draft horse appeared in front of her.

This time, everyone's faces finally showed surprise.

"This is the benefit of this riding device. It can carry eight types of Pokémon at a time, which means it can release up to eight types of Pokémon."

"The most important thing is that it does not occupy the trainer's own six Pokémon~!"

After hearing this, even Xiaozhi's expression changed this time.

This means that with this riding device, the trainer can carry 6+8 Pokémon at once? !
