Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

After leaving the woods where the Fire Crocodile lived, Xiaozhi and his party headed north, heading towards the next town.

On the way, Xiaozhi looked at the round mold badges and deep bowl badges lying quietly in the badge box, and couldn't put them down and played with them carefully.

Xiao Qing looked at Xiao Zhi's weird behavior from behind and said.

"Xiao Zhi, I'm very happy to know that you got two gym badges. We are also happy for you, but you won't walk with your head down all the way without raising your head, right? You should pay attention to the road under your feet."

When Xiaozhi heard Xiaoqing's worry about him, he immediately closed the badge box and put it back into his backpack, but the smile on his face did not shrink at all, and he answered vaguely.

"You don't know that I was almost 'imprisoned' before, but now that I can travel freely, I am very satisfied."

Xiaoqing and Pipa asked, confused.

"What was being sacrificed for?"

Xiaozhi finally woke up and thought to himself.

"Damn it, I let it slip! The news that I am the new champion of the World Championships has not yet spread throughout the Padia region where electromagnetic signals are abnormal."

Xiaozhi quickly replied.

"No, I'm talking about getting qualified for off-campus adventures. It's really a series of twists and turns... You're right, Xiaoqing."

Xiao Qing was confused for a moment, but still confirmed.

"Indeed, Xiaozhi's qualifications for off-campus adventures are different from those of most students, but it's not as exaggerated as you said and almost couldn't get out, right?"

Xiaozhi accompanied Smiley and smiled awkwardly. Although the questions he answered were a bit irrelevant, fortunately Xiaoqing and Pipa had no doubts. Xiaozhi and Pikachu looked at each other with sweat on their foreheads, and then each breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Xiaozhi asked, changing the topic again.

"By the way, where are we going next?"

Piper replied while looking at the map in Rotom on her phone.

"We should be in East District 2 now. A little further ahead we will reach Niangguang City, where there is a Niangguang Gym."

Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"Great, so I can get my third badge."

Xiaoqing smiled and said.

"It's good to have confidence, but don't be too proud..."

He turned to ask Pipa again.

"...Pipa, what is Niangguang City? I seem to have heard the name of this city from time to time in the academy before."

"Cough cough..."

Piper cleared her throat and continued.

"Nianguang City is the second largest city in the Padia region, second only to Table City. It is known as a city of high technology and commercial transactions..."

Before Pipa finished speaking, Xiaozhi ran forward with a whoosh...

"Look, what is that?"

I saw the place where Xiaozhi and Pikachu were running towards. They climbed up a small slope and looked from a distance. The beautiful scenery in the distance immediately came into view. They walked through the grassland and came to the edge of the sea. The soles of their feet were soft to the touch. Fine sand, and in the distance is the blue sea and sky, which is the East Padian Sea.

And not far away is a high-rise building with flashing lights and steel jungle-like outer walls even in the daytime. There are many docks on the seaside of the city, and there are endless ships circulating on the sea... It must be... We arrived at the Niangguang City that Pipa mentioned.

Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"It is indeed known as a city of high technology and business transactions. It is so prosperous here. The power of technology is really great. It doesn't feel like a modern building at all. In a huge city like this, skyscrapers stand side by side with ordinary high-rise buildings. Jihe, I have only seen it in Feiyun City in the Hezhong region..."

At this moment, a familiar voice appeared behind Xiaozhi and the others...

"Haha, thank you for your compliments. Although I was not born in this city, I am deeply attracted by this city..."

When Xiaozhi and his group turned around, they realized that the owner of the voice was Xitian who had just left Shenbo Town before. Everyone was curious, so Xiaozhi asked.

"What a coincidence! I met you again. After we separated in Shenbo Town, where did you go to work hard for the photography competition?"

Nishida smiled and said.

"There is no good inspiration. So far, there is only one shortlisted work on the secluded beach where we first met."

Xiaoqing curled his head and said.

"That's not bad. One is shortlisted, and I don't even have one!"

"Don't be anxious, Xiaoqing, take your time, I heard there are quite a lot of players participating in the competition..."

Listening to Xi Tian's comforting words, it did not have a relaxing effect, making Xiao Qing more and more anxious.

Pipa also came out and said.

"I heard at Sunflower Monster Square that you were going back to Niangguang City. Why are you still here now?"

Nishida changed from his previous calmness, and started to rush around. There were words in his mouth, and he said hurriedly.

"Oops, no! I've been out for too long to make a fuss. The boss of the part-time job is going to be angry... I won't say any more. I'm leaving first. I'll talk to you again when I have a chance to come to Niangguang City. I'm leaving now. Already..."

As Xi Tian's words drifted further and further away, everyone turned around. Xiao Qing asked curiously?

"Why are you so anxious... By the way, I seem to have heard that he works under Qishu before, which means his boss is Qishu!"

Xiaozhi asked doubtfully.

"Who is Qishu?"

Xiao Qing looked shocked.

"What, Xiaozhi! Don't you know who Qishu is? Qishu is a popular live broadcaster in the Padia region. Even if I don't know Niangguang City, I still know Qishu's name..."

Xiaozhi replied with a look of disdain.

"What's wrong, aren't you just a human?"

After saying that, he waved his hand indifferently, and Xiaoqing continued helplessly.

"...At the same time, she is also the gym leader of Niangguang Gym."

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi immediately changed his nonchalant attitude and became serious.

"Oh! Then we really need to get to know each other well. Let's head towards the Niangguang Gym now!"

Xiaoqing was speechless for a while.

"Xiao Zhi, you are really..."

As they talked, a group of people unknowingly approached the beach very close to Niangguang City. Flying in the sky on the beach were the electric petrels that Xitian had used before. A group of wild electric petrels Hovering in the air. Looking down, I saw another white unknown Pokémon stretching freely in the sand...

Just when Xiaozhi wanted to go up to find out, there was a lighthouse next to them, and the winding stairs on the tower sounded a "tap, tap, tap..." sound coming down the stairs.

A dark figure walked up the stairs at the back of the tower. Following the winding design of the stairs, it gradually turned back to the front. The person who came was none other than Peony, who had met once before in the academy.

Xiaozhi said in surprise.

"Hello, Peony! What a coincidence, I meet you in this place..."

Xiaoqing also greeted him enthusiastically.

But Peony was still so indifferent and replied fearfully.

"It's not a coincidence, I'm waiting for you here specially..."

Hearing this, Xiaozhi felt a little confused and asked.

"Wait for me? What should I say? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Peony shook her head and said.

"Nothing special. In fact, I was helping the supply class for extracurricular activities and treasure hunts. Since I am good at machinery and hacking technology, I can contribute behind the scenes. Therefore, I was picked up by a person named the Fairy Queen. Assigned to deliver supplies for you after you defeat the boss of the Tianxing Team..."

As he spoke, he took out some bits and pieces and handed them to Xiaozhi, and then explained.

"These are some Pokémon drops. Specifically, you can go to any drop exchanger in the Padia area for valuation. How do you negotiate? In other words..."

At this time, Xiaozhi interrupted Mudan's explanation of the dropped items and the alliance exchange point, and said.

"Okay, you don't need to explain this. I've heard Natsu and Namor say it a lot before."

Although Mudan didn't understand who Nazunamo was, since Xiaozhi knew it, he saved her a lot of time to explain, and continued.

"Well, as expected of Xiaozhi, he knows everything. I heard that every time you pass a base and eliminate the Tianxing team there, you can get a reward. There are four bosses, so come on."

Just when Xiaozhi wanted to ask something more, Mudan had already said goodbye and turned around to leave.

Everyone is also beginning to wonder why the originally unknown Mudan is related to the Tianxing team.

Xiaoqing replied.

"Peony is the roommate next door to me and Nemo. I remember she seems to be a student in Class 1-D, and the teacher of their class is Teacher Taimu."

At this time, Xiaozhi also began to have pictures in his mind.

"Teacher Taimu is the first teacher I met on my first day in the academy after I separated from Medical Director Mimosa. She is very warm and kind... However, the mathematics courses she teaches are also really good. Disaster!"

Pipa also went on to talk about what he knew about peonies and said.

"Although I have always been obsessed with stories about Millerton, and I often travel to and from the Lighthouse Institute alone. I have not been too involved in the affairs of the college, and I can't help but get acquainted with the students in the college..., but , I seem to remember that Peony seems to be in the same class as me, a second-year student."

Xiao Qing immediately retorted.

"No, she is a first-year student. She is in the first-year class and also lives in the first-year dormitory. How can she be a second-year student?"

Piper scratched the back of his head and continued uncertainly.

"Actually, I'm not sure. I just remember that she seems to be from the Galar region..."

Hearing the words "Galar", Xiaozhi immediately felt frightened, fearing that his affairs would be exposed to others.

"...But I don't know why she submitted her resignation to the principal and went to her hometown of Galar to study abroad a year and a half ago. She didn't come back until half a year ago to continue Padya's studies..."

Hearing this, Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself.

"It's been half a year since I came back, and I hadn't participated in the World Championships at that time."

After hearing this, Xiaoqing said disapprovingly.

"So Principal Clavell is the person who knows Mudan's life experience best."

Unexpectedly, Pipa refuted Xiaoqing's point of view and said.

"The principal at that time was not Clavel. Clavel was also the new principal who suddenly came from the Padian League half a year ago..."

Xiaoqing said in surprise.

"Really! It turns out there is something I didn't know about. Principal Clavell took office three or four months earlier than me. I thought he had been the principal for many years... It seems like , Principal Clavell is really a mysterious person."

Xiaozhi expressed a different view.

"Principal Clavell is currently still in office. On the contrary, I feel that the former principal has never met him and has no idea what he looks like. As for why he resigned as principal, I have no idea. In my opinion, the former principal is comparable to Principal Clavell is much more mysterious.”

Piper smiled and said.

"Indeed, what you both said makes sense. Principal Clavell is mysterious as an airborne principal, but there is also a lot of discussion in the college about the resignation of former principal Mu Fei... As for these things, I think Only the teachers in the academy know the hidden secrets inside."

Xiaoqing curiously muttered the name of the former principal.

"Mu Fei..., it turns out that the former principal was called this name. Although I have never met him and don't know him. But I think he must be like Principal Clavell. He always puts students' affairs first. People."

Pipa nodded, confirming Xiaoqing's guess, while Xiaozhi said, unable to suppress his desire to challenge the Brewing Light Gym as soon as possible.

"Okay, Nishida has gone far, Peony has also gone far, and Nemo is not sure how far ahead of me, so let's hurry up and travel."

After saying that, Xiaozhi and others started to go to Niangguang City... However, they were in the blue sea and blue sky, stepping on the golden beach, and on the sea, the beach was full of tourists playing, and there were places. The Padia Pokémon also stimulates Xiaozhi's sensory nerves from time to time.

As a result, Xiaozhi and his party had to gradually deviate from the original route as they walked. Not far away was a group of people enjoying the beach and ocean, and on the other side was a relatively sparsely populated place close to a hillside.

The appearance of unknown Pokémon in white strips on the beach had already aroused Ash's love for Pokémon, and he ran towards those white Pokémon excitedly.

Pipa also reminded from behind.

"Xiao Zhi, that is..., if you approach so rashly, you will..."

When Xiaozhi and Pikachu approached them, these Pokémon immediately got into the sand, one like this, two like this... Xiaozhi gradually lost patience.

"Why is one like this and two like this? What kind of Pokémon is this? No, I have to catch it once."

One after another... until the last one was still in the middle of the beach, Xiaozhi immediately pounced on it, grabbed it with both hands, and shouted happily.

"Great, I finally caught it..."

Before Xiaozhi could get happy, the "Pokémon" in his hand started to cry loudly and said.

"You, who are you? I want to catch sea gophers, don't catch me..."

Xiaozhi and the others were shocked.
