"Schools from various regions?"
Xiao Zhi clearly didn't know much about these schools.
However, Li Qingfeng knew a bit: "To name some famous ones, there's the Indigo Plateau Academy and Celadon University from the Kanto region, schools from the Alola region, Naranja Academy from the Paldea region, and Blueberry Academy from the Unova region."
The schools Li Qingfeng mentioned were all quite popular, and they all had substance, unlike the subpar school Yuto Seihiro attended.
Besides these, there was also a school in Canalave City in the Hoenn region...
What Xiao Mao said was similar to what Li Qingfeng said, but he added the mention of a subpar school. Xiao Zhi didn't take this to heart and instead asked Xian Hou which school she attended.
"Me…?" Xian Hou sighed, looking as if she had encountered some difficulty or trouble.
However, Xian Hou still said that she attended Naranja Academy, but due to certain reasons, she now needed to return to her hometown of Galar for a year and a half of study abroad.
Xiao Zhi and the others were somewhat surprised by Xian Hou's words, but they respected her choice and understood the possible underlying reasons behind it.
Xiao Zhi changed the subject and asked about her hometown: "Then, would you mind telling me about Galar? Li Ke what Pokémon are there!"
"As for Galar, the newly discovered Pokémon are actually quite good," Xian Hou said, mentioning some Pokémon unique to Galar, such as the Galarian Ponyta and Slowpoke.
She then mentioned the Dynamax phenomenon, an astonishing phenomenon occurring in the Galar region.
Dynamax is a special phenomenon that causes certain Pokémon to become giant under specific conditions, and their moves are greatly enhanced.
"Dynamax allows some Pokémon to become incredibly large and gain even stronger power. This phenomenon is widely studied and explored in the Galar region."
"If you ever travel to the Galar region in the future, you can personally experience and challenge these Dynamax Pokémon and feel their power and unique qualities."
After thinking for a moment, Xian Hou said to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Mao: "If you two have the chance in the future, you can visit the Paldea region. The atmosphere at Naranja Academy has improved a lot; there won't be any campus violence there."
The two nodded slightly, indicating their understanding.
Xiao Zhi then asked: "Xian Hou, are you going back to Galar soon?"
Xian Hou nodded and replied: "Mmm… I'm leaving tomorrow. Although I'm a bit reluctant to leave here, I'm also looking forward to returning to Galar and continuing my study abroad."
All good things must come to an end. Xiao Zhi and his three companions' meeting with Xian Hou was only a brief moment. Their future reunion was uncertain, but they all believed that their fate would bring them together again.
As they parted ways, Xiao Zhi called out to Xian Hou: "Remember to watch my battle with Xiao Mao at the Indigo Plateau Conference on TV then!"
Xian Hou smiled and nodded: "Of course! I'll be really looking forward to your battle, and I believe you'll show off wonderful combat and skills. I'll support you wholeheartedly on TV! Go for it!"
Their farewell, though brief, carried a deep sense of friendship and anticipation.
They believed that no matter where they were, their adventures and growth would continue, and they trusted that at some point in the future, they would meet again.
The moment of farewell arrived. They shook hands and said goodbye, their hearts filled with blessings and good wishes for each other. Each embarked on a new journey, continuing to pursue their own path as Pokémon Trainers.
Time quickly came to night, and Xiao Zhi and his group stayed at the Pokémon Center in Shidun Town.
That night, Xiao Zhi and Li Qingfeng had a long and pleasant talk.
'Oh, by the way, Brother Qingfeng, speaking of schools, when we get to Tokiwa City, I'll take you to Indigo Plateau Academy. I just don't know if you'll be able to see the person you want to see.'
Li Qingfeng smiled. He knew that Li Ke hadn't arrived at Indigo Plateau Academy yet. At this point in time, Li Ke was probably still at home in the Paldea region.
As for Indigo Plateau Academy, he did want to see it. He felt that something was vaguely attracting him.
In the following days, Xiao Zhi and his group successfully resolved the issue in Black Cloud City. Then, they arrived at a small town and unexpectedly discovered a large group of Coconut Egg Tree.
At that time, a person who called himself a magician tried to use Exeggcute's Hypnosis to hypnotize Xiao Zhi. However, with Li Qingfeng's enhancement, Xiao Zhi's mental fortitude had significantly improved.
Therefore, he was not affected by the opponent's Hypnosis and directly broke their hypnotic technique.
Then came the attacking Coconut Egg Tree. Charmeleon, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and a host of other Pokémon stepped forward to stop them, eventually sending those Coconut Egg Tree back home.
After that, they also went to Neon Town and solved the problem of not sleeping at night.
In the days that followed, Xiao Zhi also sent Squirtle and the others out to battle.
However, Squirtle looked a bit off.
Xiao Zhi also felt that Squirtle had changed slightly recently, and during a picnic, he asked him: "Squirtle, what's wrong?"
"Squirtle." (I feel Li Ke there's a power about to surge out from within me recently.)
Squirtle was puzzled; he couldn't quite describe this feeling, it was just very strange.
Seeing Squirtle's condition, the Pokémon in the group who had experienced evolution came over and used Pokémon language to ask Squirtle how he felt.
They ultimately concluded that he was about to evolve.
In comparison, Pidgeotto also had a similar feeling. Li Qingfeng estimated that when they fought the Coconut Egg Tree, these Pokémon exerted more effort.
In game terms, it means they had enough experience points. (But honestly, they should have already reached the level to evolve, right?)
As for Charmeleon, in the original work, he didn't evolve into Charizard because he reached enough experience points, but because he was angered into evolving. This premature evolution was truly problematic; the original work stated that Xiao Zhi's Charizard evolved too early and was underdeveloped.
Xiao Zhi looked at the two Pokémon about to evolve and quickly asked Brock, who was beside him: "Brock, where are we? I want to see if there are any Trainer battles around!"
Brock looked at the map and replied: "We're near Dasha Valley. There aren't many Trainers here; mostly archaeologists."
Xiao Zhi heard Brock mention Dasha Valley, and he curiously asked: "Dasha Valley? What kind of place is it? Why are there so many archaeologists here?"
Xiao Xia also joined the inquiry: "Yes, I've never heard of this place. Is there anything special about it?"

Preparing to do something more for Xiao Zhi.
But, which Pokémon is going to evolve?
