Chapter 775: Alola Alliance Begins
Three days passed in a flash.
Located on the side of the artificial island, the Manalo Sports Field, which is an entire island used as a sports venue, officially opened today!
Standing on the top floor of the stadium, Ash and Pikachu looked up and saw all kinds of ships sailing towards the port area of the stadium.
Among them, large tankers flying the flags of the Four Alola Islands are the main force, and there are also a variety of other means of transportation.
Xiaozhi even saw a bathtub...
"Speaking of which, this stadium is really magnificent." Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh.
All are in accordance with the regulations of the Alliance and are equipped with the latest Pokémon Center, large friendly stores, and various functional areas.
In addition to the various stalls with Alola characteristics, starting from the periphery, there are the bustling commercial area, tourist area, and food area.
Most importantly, this island is completely man-made, without any natural scenery, and was created purely for the Alola Alliance!
"After all, this is the place where the Aether Foundation's top resources are gathered." Kahili and Shota came behind Xiaozhi with notebooks.
“Today is the opening ceremony, which will be held in the evening. Before that, there will be a meet-and-greet with the Four Heavenly Kings and a scheduled exhibition match.
"Senpai, your speech manuscript has been left in the office. You are free to move around until evening," Shota said considerately.
"In addition, Sinnoh Champion Sirona and Unova Champion Alice will visit as guests, and accommodation has been arranged for the two champions." Kashili, as the public relations director, said very thoughtfully.
"They are probably just here for tourism, don't worry about them." Xiaozhi waved his hand.
"By the way, how are the arrangements for the road to championship going?" Xiaozhi suddenly remembered.
“Construction has been completed, and the final venue has been designed at the end of the long steps leading to the gods.
"In the future, the league winners who wish to challenge for the championship will be able to take turns battling the Four Heavenly Kings there. Only the victorious trainer will be able to enter the Alola Palace of Honor and battle the champion." Kahiri meticulously pushed her glasses up.
This woman is not nearsighted, she wears glasses just to look good...
"Okay, I'll leave the preliminary preparations to you guys. I'll also go for a walk around and say hello to everyone." Xiaozhi put on the golden and red hat that was a special gift from the Manalo Tournament and ran away with Pikachu in his arms.
"Really... Doesn't Champion-san lose all his mystery by doing this?" Kahili couldn't help but sigh with her hands on her hips.
"Xiaozhi-senpai is so approachable." Shota smiled slightly: "I think such a champion is more warm-hearted."
……
After getting off the ship at the port area, today's Pokémon School contestants were led by Professor Barnett and Teacher Serena.
"Teacher Serena, isn't Champion-san going to work with you?" Shui Lian asked curiously.
"Well," Serena explained with a smile, "Because he's the Alola champion, he's very busy today~"
"Actually, it's not that busy..." Xiaozhi's voice sounded.
Serena turned around in surprise and saw Xiaozhi walking towards her with a garland in his hand.
After putting a garland on Serena, Xiaozhi waved to the other little ones, "Hey~ Mina-san~ Are you all ready?"
"Yes! Boss, we're fully prepared!" Kachi took the lead and everyone cheered.
"Xiaozhi, is it really okay for you not to go to the competition group?" Serena asked caringly.
"It's okay. Kahili is watching over the tournament uniform team. My role is just to show up and mingle with everyone~" Xiaozhi smiled and shrugged.
"Champion-san! Please give me an autograph." A little kid with a runny nose ran up to Xiaozhi holding a commemorative T-shirt of the Manalo Conference.
"Okay, okay~" Xiaozhi squatted down, gave the other party an autograph as a souvenir, and then touched the little guy's head.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Sun and Moon!" the little kid answered with full energy.
"Oh~ nice name." Xiaozhi nodded.
"In the future, I also want to become someone like Champion Sang!" the other person shouted with sparkling eyes.
"Okay~ Then next time, it will be your turn to be the champion. I'll wait for you on the road to championship!" Xiaozhi said solemnly.
"Okay! It's a deal!" The little guy clenched his fists and then ran over happily.
Shui Lian, Mao and others looked at Xiaozhi from behind, all smiling with pride.
Alola champion, it’s not just talk.
"Okay, everyone can explore the island to your heart's content before the opening ceremony in the evening." Xiaozhi clapped his hands, and the boys, led by Kachi, immediately ran towards the main sports field.
The girls wanted to go shopping in the shopping area.
Xiaozhi thought about it and followed Serena and the others to the shopping area.
The champion’s idea was simple: buy some souvenirs and balloons to distribute to the children.
Just like old man Damaranch in the past, as long as everyone is happy, Xiaozhi as the host will also be happy.
……
On the edge of the commercial district, a pink food truck was parked under a palm tree. Led by the Rocket Three, a whole team of Team Rocket members were enthusiastically setting up a stall...
"Hey! The special Manaro fried bread with two kinds of cream sauce is very popular!" Kojiro clenched his fists.
"Meow haha~ We must have a big sale today meow!" Meow Meow also laughed.
Zhenniao, who was wearing a fast food hat and an apron, expressed shock.
"No... what are you two doing? Isn't your mission to dominate the Manalo Tournament and make Team Rocket famous in Alola?"
"Of course we know." Musashi came back with a plate of food. "But making money for the organization is also important. I'll leave this to you later."
Mana: "Eh? No..."
Seeing Zhenniao busy greeting the guests, the three idiots all smiled as if they had gotten revenge.
Humph! Watermelon-rind glasses girl, you know how hard we usually work at the stall~
……
In a corner of the conference hall, a few idle hooligans just wanted to eat for free, but they were severely beaten up by the Rockets.
At this time, he was holding a few cans of paint and quietly approaching the posters around the venue.
"Qi Kexiu, you actually dared to hit us. Then everyone will have a hard time."
"Hey, let's graffiti all over these walls, and then... let them be disgusted."
The hooligans didn't notice at all that a group of figures in black uniforms, different from police uniforms, had surrounded them.
"Hey~ scum~ You seem very happy~" Guzma's low voice sounded.
"Hey!!! It's the Skeleton Team?!" Several gangsters were shocked.
"What nonsense!" Guz immediately slapped him in the face and pointed at his work ID on his chest: "Look carefully, I'm an Urban Management Inspector!"
"Huh?" The gangster was dumbfounded.
"What are you looking at? We are much more effective than the police in dealing with punks like you." Guzma waved his hand, and the former members of the Skull Team, now the city managers of Alola, rushed up with rubber sticks brandished, grinning.
For a moment, the other party was beaten to the point of crying for his parents...
From then on, the little hooligans in Alola understood one thing: if you commit a crime, call the police!
Because the police are reasonable, if you are caught by the "urban management", sorry, they will really beat you.
As the saying goes, three blows to awaken the social dream, sir, I have a good citizen certificate...
Looking at the thug lying on the ground, Guzma stretched out his body in relief and said, "Done! Time to pack up."
Dr. Kukui, who was passing by, nodded with a puzzled look: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Hmph~" Guzma turned his head away arrogantly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not helping you, I'm working for the champion."
"That's good~" Dr. Kukui nodded with satisfaction and looked at the brightly lit Manalo main stadium not far away.
The brilliant fireworks rose into the sky, illuminating the shining night sky.
The opening ceremony is about to begin~
To be continued...
