He knows Pokémon better than me

"Thank you for your hard work, Chenglong~ Let's have a good rest~"

After successfully landing on the island, Shui Lian rubbed Chenglong's cheek and said softly, taking it back.

Xiaozhi looked at this small sea village with curiosity.

The main outline of the village is formed by a long and narrow wooden foundation, with support bridges extending to both sides, like the back of a giant whale.

In the very center, there is a prosperous and dense giant tree with an umbrella-like crown. Its roots penetrate into the seabed and play a role in stabilizing the village.

Pokémon centers, shops, specialty hotels and restaurants, or local people's houses are built on the edges of these bridges, connecting the main foundations.

What surprised Ash the most was that these houses were basically built to look like Pokémon—

A restaurant on the sea that looks like a roaring whale king

A sea store shaped like a hunting grouper

A Pokémon training cabin shaped like a big steel snake

Magikarp-shaped boat dock

"Is it so lively?"

Xiaozhi was quite surprised. From a distance, he thought it was deserted, but in fact, when he arrived, he found that it was really a lively town with full functions.

There were also some local children playing and chasing each other on the main wooden bridge.

"Well, the environment here is great~!"

Beside her, Shui Lian took a deep breath and showed a happy smile on her face.

Apart from the Gurgling Hills, this is definitely her first favorite place in the Alola region. People's clothing, food, housing and transportation are closely related to the sea.

But the focus today is not to travel here.

Shui Lian took Xiao Zhi to the westernmost corner of the Ocean Residents' Village. The wooden bridges connecting to the outside were more densely packed, and they were not connected to fixed houses, but to small boats the size of houses.

"This is a public area. People can temporarily dock their boats here and just connect them to the wooden bridge. It's like settling their houses here."

Shui Lian patiently introduced.

People who usually park their boats here will basically change the shape of their boats to look like Pokémon.

From a distance, it looks like a group of giant Pokémon gathering on the sea.

And Shui Lian’s target is a Menas-shaped ship——

There is a normal hull in the middle, but Menas' slender and elegant head extends from both sides of the front end.

"Hey Shui Lian, Alola~ You came as promised~!"

As soon as they approached the Menas ship, a pleasant and crisp greeting came from above.

Xiaozhi looked up and saw an older sister with long wavy orange hair.

She wore a shell headdress and a dark blue dress with beautiful fish scale patterns on it, and her whole body exuded a unique atmosphere of the ocean.

"Alola, long time no see, Miss Iya!"

Shuilian quickly said hello seriously, and introduced Xiaozhi by the way:

"This is Teacher Xiaozhi, he brought me here with him."

"Teacher Xiaozhi, this is Miss Iya, a very famous performer in the Alola region!"

Iya quickly smiled and waved her hands:

"What kind of performer? I've never participated in Carlos' competition, right? Teacher Xiaozhi? I'm just a street performer~"

It's really strange. He looks 2 years older than Shui Lian. Is this also a teacher?

"Street performer?"

Xiaozhi was stunned. The street performers in his impression were all dressed up like circuses, with platypuses breathing fire on the streets.

After getting off the Menas ship, Eya was still holding a round harp in her hand.

Iya is a street performer who sails around the sea. When she encounters an island, she will go ashore to perform street performances and earn some extra money in exchange for supplies.

One time when she was performing ashore on Melemele Island, she met Shui Lian and became friends.

And Eya's performance is not just about playing, but a fusion of music and Pokémon performances.

"Haiwu~!"

Next to Iya, there is a beautiful and gorgeous Western lion Hairen.

The final form of Alola's water-attribute royal family, a voluptuous and slender blue-white sea lion.

But the appearance is completely different from the bloated and fat sea lion, more like the legendary mermaid——

The lower body has a dark blue fish tail, a pure white upper body, a beautiful feminine face decorated with pink starfish, and a head of beautiful sea-blue long curly hair, sectioned with white pearls.

"Haiwu~!"

The Western Lion Hairen shouted cheerfully, with bright eyes, as if he recognized Shui Lian and said hello to the latter.

"Ah, evolved!"

Shui Lian slightly exclaimed, the last time Iya performed at Melemele Island, her partner was Huayang Sea Lion.

Bang!

With a backhand, she released her flowery sea lion.

The two approached slowly, their noses came together for a sniff, and then they rubbed their cheeks gently and affectionately.

"Your Qiuqiu sea lion has also evolved~"

Iya said with a smile, the last time they met, Shuilian's partner was still in the initial stage.

However, the Huayang Sea Lion, which has not yet evolved, is completely like an immature child in front of the mature and beautiful Xishi Hairen. Both appearance and temperament are much different.

"Well, there is a big gap between the middle stage and the final stage of the Royal Three Family in Alola."

Xiaozhi thought about Roaring Tiger and Sniper Feather Owl again, and thought to himself.

"Then according to the agreement, as long as Shui Lian can meet my expectations today, I will..."

"Ah, but Miss Iya, you also need Xishi Hairen's exclusive Z pure crystal!"

Shui Lian realized it later and suddenly interrupted with an exclamation.

Yiya is not a retired middle-aged uncle Yinghu, who no longer needs Z-Crystal.

If I give it to her, won't my own Xishi Hai Ren be useless?

"Don't worry, Shui Lian~"

Yiya smiled softly, first raised her hand to show her Z bracelet, which was inlaid with a blue-green Z-Crystal.

The surface was engraved with a rather abstract Xishi Hai Ren "mermaid" pattern.

Xishi Hai Ren's exclusive Z-Crystal!

Then, she took out another Z-Crystal of the same model from her pocket.

"This time my husband found a total of two Xishi Hai Ren Z-Crystals on the seabed~ So there is no problem at all to give one to Shui Lian!"

Yiya said with some pride.

Her husband is a treasure hunter who specializes in finding hidden treasures sunk on the seabed.

The couple sailed around on the sea by boat. When they went ashore, Yiya performed with Xishi Hai Ren on the street.

Her husband was in the nearby town, asking around for secrets about whether there were any underwater treasures around and collecting information.

Once, two Z-pure crystals of the Sea Lion were accidentally dug up on the seabed.

So Yiya thought of Shuilian at the first time and made an appointment to meet at the Village of Ocean Dwellers.

"Is that so!"

Shuilian's eyes lit up. Now she had no psychological burden and could go all out to get this rare Z-pure crystal!
