It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 254 Another Earthquake in the Dry Desert

In the morning of the next day, after getting ready, the three of them came to the lower level of Boping City and set off for Zunqin Town.

The distance between the two places is not too far, but there is a scorching desert in the middle. Although people who have passed by for a long time have stepped on a road in the middle, the temperature will not drop because of this.

If you walk at full speed, there will be no accidents... If you don't encounter sandstorms, you can cross the desert in at most two days.

And there will be a watchtower half-buried in the sand in the middle. Although it was a military facility built during the Partian Empire, it has been used for other purposes after the unification of the empire.

A few years ago, the Partia Alliance built a Pokémon Center there, which can provide rest for trainers traveling in the desert, and avoid danger when they can’t find a camping place at night. It’s a great care for these trainers and students. .

At night, Hoshino and the others arrived at the Pokémon Center and rested here. The sand outside was not suitable for camping at all, and it was so hot that they could only run inside...

"It's comfortable, I really don't want to run in the desert, my hair is full of sand..."

After taking a bath in the bathhouse of the Pokémon Center, Lillie ran away complaining while wiping her hair with a towel, but Nemo hadn't come out yet.

Although most of the Pokémon Centers in Padia are designed like gas stations, this does not mean that there is no place to live in the gas station. The supermarket here has everything.

Hoshino borrowed the kitchen here to make dinner, and was eating with the Pokémon on the other side of the sofa. Pope the dolphin stayed in the ball for a day, and this meeting can finally be released.

Mi Lilong couldn't stand the scorching heat of the desert. He hid in the tail of the iron bundle for a day, and now he came out to cook, but he was still honest and didn't cause trouble.

At this time, Ms. Joy took a cup of water to make tea and passed by. Hoshino looked up and asked curiously: "It seems that there is no one in the Pokémon Center except us. Has it been like this recently?"

"Ok?"

Miss Joy stopped and looked at him sideways. Although her expression was a little melancholy, she still responded with a smile: "It was fine before, and many college students would come to the desert to practice and dig treasures, but this year there have been several sandstorms and strong After the earthquake, after the alliance intervened in the investigation, many people were reluctant to come."

"It's true, not many people are willing to make fun of their own lives... What about you, Miss Joy?"

"Me? There are people changing shifts here every day, but some intern nurses who are assigned are not willing to come. Although they can get a fixed salary if they are not busy, they are still somewhat boring..."

"Hmm... understandable."

Hoshino nodded, it seems that the impact of the desert these few times is indeed a bit big, and then he continued to ask: "I seem to have heard from a student that he saw a huge monster with fangs walking slowly in the desert, leaving huge footprints , is there really?"

He intentionally described the appearance of Xiongweiya, mainly to confirm whether it is really the Lord Earthquake who is here. After all, Ms. Joey has worked here for several years, so she may have an impression.

"A monster with fangs?"

Miss Joy tilted her head and showed a pensive expression, her side ponytail swayed slightly, then she shook her head and responded, "I haven't seen it, and I haven't heard it from a trainer, let alone the huge footprints in the desert..."

"However, there were some trainers in the past who seemed to have seen scorched wheels left by rolling wheels in the desert, and then discussed here who didn't ride a motorcycle lizard in the desert, but drove a big car and burned the tires, which attracted Some trainers laughed."

Speaking of this, Miss Joy couldn't help laughing, and after hearing the cry of the happy egg not far away, she said hello and left.

Just hearing this, Hoshino frowned slightly, tilted his head and began to be puzzled.

Just as he was starting to think, Liliai came to sit beside him, and then withdrew his thoughts, looked at the other person, smelled the fragrance from his hair, and asked with a smile, "How was it, the experience of driving in the desert?"

"It's terrible, but you have to persevere, right? But what were you talking about with Miss Joy just now?"

"That's all for asking about the situation in the desert. If you leave early tomorrow, you should be able to reach Zheqin Town in the afternoon, and relax there."

"Ok!"

Soon, Nemo also walked over with long hair, and started cooking without any hesitation. After walking in the desert for a whole day, everyone was tired.

The dry desert at night is relatively calm, the night wind slowly blows the sand and dust, and the Pokémon living in the desert also bury themselves in the sand to rest, everything is so harmonious, and then it is broken...

The sudden sandstorm swept across the entire desert, and the erupting earthquake almost caused the only Pokémon Center in the desert to fall into it. The impact of these natural disasters became stronger each time.

The violent shaking lasted for a while before it stopped, but the sandstorm barely calmed down until early in the morning, but the wild Pokémon couldn't fall asleep, and Hoshino and the others who were resting in the Pokémon Center...

In the early morning of the next day, Ms. Joy opened the door of the Pokémon Center, and all the sand that covered the door poured in in an instant. Fortunately, the iron burden ignited a blizzard and blew all the sand away.

"Thank you, otherwise I don't know how long I will be cleaning."

"Drip~"

Looking at this scene, Liliai and Nemo, who had been on the sofa without rest all night, really wanted to curse, and there was an earthquake and sandstorm as soon as they came, who did they provoke?

Hoshino was fine. After walking out of the Pokémon Center to take a look, he saw the yellow sand outside and felt that these things were a bit strange.

If it is really the Lord of Earthquakes, the other party has lived in the dry desert for at least 200 years. It is impossible for such a long time to cause these movements now, and they are so frequent, so there must be a reason.

"Strange, too weird..."

He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply ignored it and left the desert early, so he went there to prepare breakfast.

Looking at the half-dead two, he rubbed his forehead and shook his head, and said, "Okay, I'll make you some soy milk with seasonings to restore your spirits, but don't lie down halfway and ask me to drag you along."

"Meter?"

Hearing the seasoning, Mi Lilong opened his eyes wide and looked over curiously, and then saw Hoshino taking out a pink leaf from the bag, which was the secret: a part of the sweetener, which had been sparingly used all the time.

"Meter!"

"Meow?"

"Didi?"

The gazes of Xinye Miao and Tie Baofu fell on the drooling Mi Lilong at the same time, and found that the other party was staring at the seasoning, and they all showed puzzled expressions. Then Maomao stepped forward and interrupted his sight with a wave of his claws. And ask what the guy wants to do.

"Meow!"

"Meter……"

Seeing Xinye Miao, Mi Lilong immediately covered his eyes and shrank into a ball, weak and helpless...

"Meow……"

After finishing their breakfast, they bid farewell to Ms. Joy, and hurriedly set off to continue their journey, lest the situation last night would happen again after a long delay.

Xinye Meow lay on Hoshino's head, shielding him from the sun, while absorbing sunlight with its hair for photosynthesis, and exuding a cat-like scent.

This time, Mi Lilong didn't hide in the tail of the iron burden, but lay on Hoshino's shoulder, his eyes would move on the backpack from time to time, and there was a hint of calculation in the corners of his eyes...

"Didi?"

Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way. Although some strong winds would blow hot sand occasionally, the iron burden would also launch blizzards into the sky. While helping to cool down, they could also be blocked with snowflakes. sand.

Such a convenient Pokémon makes Nemo's eyes turn red. Not only can it be used for bathing, it can also be used as an air conditioner and refrigerator, and even use its tail as a basketball racket when you are bored. How convenient!
"Technology products are like this, they were originally born to serve mankind..."

Hoshino murmured softly, although he said so, the outbreak of an omnic crisis is another matter.

As the evening approached, the three of them finally saw the Padia West Sea in the distance. The lighthouse was very conspicuous, and the seaside town not far below was Zinqin Town, the destination of this trip. Looking from a distance, one could feel the The pleasure of living here.

Leaving the desert, the Pope dolphin finally jumped out of the poke ball again. It looked at the town from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a little lost. After being captured by the lower stone bird for so long, it didn't expect to go home.

Li Liai walked forward with Xiao Xingyun in her arms, looked at the twilight scene on the sea, and said with some surprise: "The scenery here is really nice, so quiet, standing here looking at the twilight scenery, inexplicably feels like returning to the Alola region Feel."

"The West Sea is like this. This is one of the best places in Padia to watch the dusk. However, Zuqin Town is famous for its vegetable market and auctions. The trading market here is quite large."

Nemo has been here several times, so he naturally introduced it as a tour guide, but Hoshino didn't care about it, and came here for a visit, mainly to bring the Pope dolphins back to have a look.

"Let's go to the dolphin show!"

He patted the Pope dolphin, then grabbed it and ran downhill. The motorcycle lizards followed immediately, and they didn't want to lag behind to reach the town.

Seeing that these guys are still so energetic, Liliai sighed softly, patted the hat full of sand, and then put it on again, thinking that it would be better to find a place to take a bath and change clothes...

The Zhuqin Market in Zhuqin Town is the most famous place here. There is a saying in Padia, as long as you want to buy something but can't find it, you will be able to find it when you go to the Zhuqin Market.

This is not unreasonable. The main reason is that there are a lot of merchants in Zunqin Market, and many trainers who have returned from treasure hunting everywhere set up stalls here, and the occasional auctions have boosted the popularity.

Zunqin Market is in the center of the town, with a big shed built on it, it is very obvious and can be seen from a distance, the fastest route to the pier is to pass through here, but there are often trainers who are caught by the goods when they pass by. Attracted, thereby forgetting to get on board and leave.

Hoshino came here first, and was about to go to the pier, but unfortunately he was also caught in the trick, and his eyes were attracted by the ingredients sold by some trainers, so he ran over.

"Translation..."

The Pope dolphin looked around, it didn't have anything to buy, it was just hesitating whether to leave first, to go to the pier alone to see if the statue of Dolphin Man was still there.

After hesitating again and again, it chose to slip past quietly. Xinye Miao glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, and followed it, wanting to see what it was going to do...
