Chapter 74 The mining town—Xuezha Town, three people separated
The Pokémon looked at the new-faced Earth Dragon brother, and all of them were surprised and moved closer to take a closer look. The sudden attention also surprised and delighted Brother Tulong, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Xiaozhi took the initiative to step forward and help Brother Tulong introduce each other to the Pokémon. Soon Brother Tulong was playing with other Pokémon...
Pipa quickly divided the freshly baked sandwiches into complete portions. The quantities were divided according to the trainers and Pokémon present. At the same time, she also helped the treasure owner who had been guarding this secret spice to drag the earthworms. Prepared one.
Xiaozhi, Xiaoqing, and the other Pokémon soon began to feast, and they finished their sandwiches in a short while, with expressions of unsatisfied expressions on their faces.
Even the exhausted Slow Crocodile quickly recovered his strength after eating the sandwich and became lively and energetic. He then had fun with other Pokémon, as well as the treasure lord Tutuolu, who was his opponent before. got up.
After ensuring that everyone enjoyed the secret sandwich, Piper also took out the larger piece that belonged to his old friend Mastiff Godfather.
"Come out, Mastiff Godfather!"
Piper held the secret sandwich segment in one hand, and took out the Poké Ball containing the Mastiff Godfather with the other hand and released it... A red light flashed, full of majesty, and the old Mastiff Godfather appeared in front of everyone.
After Pikachu and other Pokémon saw the Mastiff Godfather, who rarely showed his face, they all gathered around him. Pipa tore off the sandwich in his hand and gently put it into the Mastiff Godfather's mouth... Xiaozhi and Xiaozhi Qing Ye was looking here anxiously, always paying attention to every move of the Mastiff Godfather.
I saw the Mastiff Godfather panting heavily, eating the sandwich bit by bit that could restore his energy...
"Just eat it bit by bit, chew it slowly and slowly!"
Seeing this heartwarming scene, everyone hoped that this secret seasoning would be effective.
"Yes, it must be useful! This is the secret seasoning recorded in the "Zhu Chapter" and "Purple Chapter" found in the research institute of Pipa's parents. It will definitely have miraculous effects."
Just after Xiaozhi finished speaking, a miracle happened. After eating the sandwich, the Mastiff Godfather's whole body emitted the same white light as the previous Treasure Master. Under the astonished gaze of everyone..., the Mastiff Godfather's eyes gradually open.
Making eye contact with Pipa in front of him, Pipa's eyes gradually became moist and he said.
"It's great. It has been unable to open its eyes for so long. I'm worried to death... It's great. The current Mastiff Godfather has been developing in a good direction!"
"Wahaha, but its round eyes are so small that you can't even tell whether it is open..." Secret: The salty ingredients are indeed as recorded in the book, and can relieve numbness and pain in the hands and feet. It is also effective in improving muscle strength decline."
"I will definitely make the Mastiff Godfather return to his former energetic self, so Xiaozhi, Xiaoqing..."
Piper said, stood up and faced the direction of Ash and the others, and continued.
"...We still need your full support!"
Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing smiled and said.
"Of course, we are all partners!"
Finally, Xiaoqing also took a photo of this happy scene and said goodbye to the treasure master, Tuo Tuo Liao...
"Master Tuo Duoluo, thank you for protecting this secret spice. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest for your efforts... and please continue to maintain the peace and stability here as always!"
"Kuchukuchi!"
After a friendly farewell, Xiaozhi and his party continued on their journey.
At the same time, far away on the edge of the third east area, they were about to step into the mining area. This was also the place where Xiaozhi and his team first entered. The greedy wild tutuo that Xiaozhi originally wanted to capture Earthworm also happened to escape Xiaozhi's capture and came here to look for food.
He was lurking around in the dirt, chewing and filtering the iron in the dirt. Suddenly, he turned his head and spit out the dirt in his mouth, and started spitting...
"Haha, of course! If you are foraging on the edge of this mining area, the iron content in the soil must be much less than the iron content in the center of the mine!"
Drago looked in the direction where he was speaking, and saw that it was Nemo who had arrived late from Shanshan after returning to Niangguang City, her mobile phone Rotom Company, and saw her looking at it with interest. The wild earthworms in front of me were chatting with each other.
The strange thing is that the glass container containing unknown Pokémon eggs she just obtained is now empty... She raised one hand with one hand and looked at the empty glass container and said.
"It's not good to throw it away casually. This is no longer needed. We have to get to the next city quickly to get rid of this extra stuff..."
“Also, it’s just a good time to test your strength, my new partner—Xiao Tan!”
While Nemo was talking to herself, a Pokémon with flashing flames appeared from behind her and came to the front of Toto.
"Xiaotan, start your first battle well! And Tuoduoluo, let's see how strong you are... and whether you can help me achieve victory in the Padia League."
"Come on, Xiao Tan!"
After Xiaozhi and his group left the mining area there and walked on the road to the next city, Xiaozhi asked.
"Which city are we going to now?"
Xiao Qing looked at the cell phone Rotom and checked the map.
"Following this direction, the next city we will go to is Anzha Town."
"Xuzha Town? What kind of city is it? Is there a gym?"
As he spoke, Xiaozhi's eyes lit up.
"Uh..., no, there is no gym here. It just says that this is a mining town, and its specialty is minerals."
Listening to Xiaoqing's answer, Xiaozhi became a little disappointed.
"Oh, that's it...then there's nothing worth visiting."
"Wait a minute, Xiaozhi, it may be true for you, but that's not the case for Piper..."
Pipa was also curious, and she and Xiaozhi came up to take a look.
"It turns out there's a savory-themed cooking competition going to be held in this city..., great Pipa!"
Pipa also looked embarrassed.
"Oops! I didn't even mention it. I forgot about this thing I agreed with Dunzi... I still have two taste badges to get, so let's take this as an opportunity to get the second one in one go."
"It's rare that Pipa has such an impact, let's go to Anza Town together!"
After everyone reached an agreement, they headed to Xuzha Town together. After a while, they arrived at the mining town.
Entering Xezha Town, I saw that this small town is close to the mine in the East Third District. The interior is similar to the style of that mining area. It lacks green vegetation and is a single gray color. Barren rich mineral color.
At least compared to Niangguang City, where they had conducted gym challenges before, it looked a lot more rustic, and there didn’t seem to be much to play in...
First of all, when you arrive in a new town, the first thing you need to do is to help Slow Crocodile, who has experienced Pokémon battles before, and the various Pokémon to recover their physical strength. ...After a while, everyone arrived at the Pokémon Center.
After the group of people restored the Pokémon's physical strength, Piper also went to the green area in the Pokémon Center, where the robot Interli Jun was located to register for the cooking competition held in the town.
After learning that the cooking competition with the theme "Salty" was going to be held the day after tomorrow, which happened to be the salty badge that Pipa had not yet obtained, it was a matter of course to complete the registration.
Xiaozhi said in disbelief.
"What! It won't be held until tomorrow, so don't we have to stay here today and tomorrow?"
Seeing Xiaozhi's depressed reaction, the robot Intelijun said.
"Because this town is located in a mining area, it is dirty, has poor air, and lacks vibrant vegetation. At the same time, it is close to the most prosperous Niangguang City. People are constantly attracted to move there. The largest population here is only The people who work hard at mining are the towns with the lowest sense of presence in the entire Padia region.”
"If the competition is reported in other areas, it will definitely be filled up quickly. There are few tourists passing by here, so it takes a few more days to register to meet the replenishment of applicants. As for why one is held here, it is because This is an opportunity to attract people from the outside world to pay attention to this town, which carries the infrastructure development and energy support of the Padia region and is also a unique and charming place."
"At the same time, I also want the hard-working people in this town to have a delicious reward to relieve everyone's fatigue."
Listening to Intelijun's explanation about the sense of mission carried by this town, Xiaozhi and his team's respect for it arose spontaneously.
"Well, it turns out that this town is such a special existence, and the people here, in order to support the rapid development of the Padia region, have to sacrifice so much. It is really a city with the most backbone."
"We know! We will definitely take a good look here and feel the unique charm of this small town!"
Listening to what Xiaozhi and his group said, Yintelijun also felt that everyone was teachable.
"Thank you. This is the purpose of this cooking competition. Thank you for your understanding and support!"
Just after Pipa completed the registration, Xiaozhi and his team were about to leave and plan to visit the town. The interface after the registration in the green area switched back to the announcement content that was broadcast in turn.
The announcement content sent on the screen was an update on the shortlisted contestants and shortlisted works of the recent photography competition. Thinking of Xiaoqing, who had not been paying attention recently, she stared at the screen anxiously, hoping that her work and name would appear on it.
Until the scrolling screen and the names of participating authors were coming to an end, Xiao Qing's name still did not appear, and a trace of sadness appeared on Xiao Qing's face... Suddenly, a familiar picture appeared on it, which was shot from above at night. City photos.
"This, isn't this the beautiful scenery I saw when I was led by Nishida and talked with Ms. Guangnan? That's great, Xiaoqing!"
Just when Xiaozhi and Piper were happy for Xiaoqing, the name that appeared made their hearts freeze. I saw that the name on the work was "Million Volt Night Scene", which was indeed the same name as the work Xiaoqing had submitted before, but the author's name was actually...
"Xiao Zhi! How could it be you?"
Pipa asked Xiaozhi confused.
"Xiao Zhi, when did you sign up and submit your work!"
Xiaozhi also said with a confused look.
"The registration was when I wanted to sign up for the Padya League competition. I accidentally made a mistake and entered it into the photography competition. As for the work, I suddenly became interested after seeing Xiao Qing shooting with her camera. Randomly photographed with a cell phone Rotom.”
After hearing this, Pipa was speechless for a while, then covered her face and said.
"Xiao Zhi, you..."
Xiaozhi also said to Xiaoqing from the side.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoqing, I didn't mean to..."
Xiaoqing stared closely at the picture Xiaozhi took at random and thought to herself.
"The picture is indeed much better than what I took with a professional camera. Thinking that Xiaozhi is just a layman, and the equipment is only the camera function of the mobile phone Rotom..., it is actually much better than the picture I took. , if I were a judge, I would definitely let Xiaozhi's work be shortlisted."
Pipa continued to persuade Xiao Qingdao who gradually became disappointed.
"Xiao Qing, don't worry about it. Xiao Zhi just punched the old master to death. It was just a coincidence that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse."
Xiaoqing turned her head to look at them, with a forced smile on her lips and said.
"Well, I'm fine... Xiaozhi, you are very talented, and I will never give in... Since Pipa has to prepare for the cooking competition and will stay here for two days, I suggest that we separate here and realize our own cultivation!"
Faced with Xiaoqing's answer, the heartless Xiaozhi said happily.
"That's great! I'm also planning to have a Pokémon battle with my newly conquered Earth Dragon brother to see how strong it is!"
Pipa heard a hint of reluctance in Xiao Qing's words. He was about to say something, but was swallowed hard. He thought it would be better for Xiao Qing to calm down alone, so he answered.
"Okay, since Xiaoqing made this request and Xiaozhi also has his own plan, then I have to start preparing for my next cooking competition... Then let's separate."
After saying goodbye to Xiaozhi and Pipa, Xiaoqing took the New Leaf Cat and left here without looking back. Xiaozhi said in confusion.
"Great, Xiaoqing is fine! But think about it again, why should I apologize? I don't seem to have done anything wrong!"
Looking at Xiaozhi who was still unaware and dull, Pipa didn't know what to say for a moment and could only reply.
"Hey... then Xiaozhi, I will leave first. I wish you good luck with your special training."
"Well, okay! Pipa, I also wish you success in winning the cooking competition!"
In this way, the three people who said goodbye began to go on their own for two days.
