I, the fighting party, became Xiaozhi's golden finger

"Team Rocket has left, and I have to go too. Xiaozhi, goodbye." Xiaoyin took back the Tyranitar and waved goodbye to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi planned to stay downstairs for a while, and then go to Mr. Steel: "Okay, see you later!"

After experiencing this thrilling battle, the Slowpokes were unusually calm. They seemed to be unaware and had no reaction to the pain of their tails being cut.

After Xiaoyin left, Xiaozhi paced underground, looking at these Slowpokes, feeling pity, and carefully applying medicine to them, hoping to relieve the pain.

Under his careful care, the Slowpokes gradually recovered their vitality. Although they still looked a little sluggish, at least they were no longer in so much pain.

While Xiaozhi was busy, Team Rocket had already left the area.

The reason for their retreat was not how strong Xiaozhi was, but because they received an emergency notice that there was a traitor in the team.

This traitor leaked the secrets of Team Rocket, causing them to temporarily evacuate.

Li Qingfeng suddenly spoke up, he felt that there might be something on the second floor underground: 'Do you want to go to the second floor underground to take a look? ’

Without hesitation, Xiaozhi answered: ‘Okay, if we encounter wild Pokémon, let Young Kiras deal with them. ’

...

...

Xiaozhi went down the narrow and steep stairs. The originally dim light gradually became dim, but as he went deeper, a faint breath became more and more obvious.

At the moment he stepped down the last step, Xiaozhi came to the second underground floor.

The air on the second underground floor was filled with a musty smell. There were some old-looking furniture, boxes and books piled up around.

Some dust was raised, as if telling the quiet years here. The oil paintings hanging on the wall were already damaged, but the scenes in the paintings could be vaguely seen.

This place gave people a dull feeling.

In addition to the dull atmosphere and damaged oil paintings, the scene here was even more peculiar.

The second underground floor was surrounded by water, and a wide underground river flowed in the center of the room. The river water was clear and the river bank was covered with green moss.

The gurgling water brought a touch of life to this quiet space.

The stone bridge on the river curved forward, and the two sides of the river were filled with some old-looking furniture, boxes and books.

Occasionally, some Magikarp swam underwater, leisurely shuttling under the stone bridge, and seemed to be unafraid of Xiaozhi's arrival.

"There are so many Zubats around. Did Lance capture the Crossbat here? But it doesn't look like there are Crossbats here."

Xiaozhi looked around and was slightly interested. But then again, why is there water on the second floor under the cave in the Johto region?

It's really strange. Could it be that there are legendary water Pokémon in the Johto region?

(A certain sea god has no water-attributed Pokémon:......)

Just as Xiaozhi was curiously exploring the second underground floor, a master suddenly appeared in front of him. The master was wearing a Taoist robe, had white hair, and his face was wrinkled, which made him look quite wise.

"Young man, has the Rocket Team left?" The Master pointed to the stairs, followed by many Slowpokes and a Slowking.

Xiaozhi nodded, indicating that the Rocket Team had been repelled by himself and another boy named Silver.

The Master handed the crown to Xiaozhi and said seriously: "This crown is the symbol of the Slowpoke tribe here, representing the nobility of their tribe. Now I will give it to you as a reward for driving away the Rocket Team."

Xiaozhi wanted to refuse, but the Master left quickly after handing the crown to Xiaozhi, which was not at all the speed of an old man.

Xiaozhi stood there, looking at the Master's back as he left, and his heart was full of gratitude.

After leaving the Slowpoke Well and returning to Hinoki Town, Xiaozhi came to the Pokémon Center to meet Misty and Brock.

The other party also met with Silver and learned that the Rocket Team appeared here.

Misty looked around at Xiaozhi to see if he was injured: "Xiaozhi, did you see the Rocket trio this time?"

"Yes, after all, they are also members of Team Rocket. It would be bad if they were hurt." Xiaogang said worriedly.

Xiaozhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This time, thanks to Haxorus and Xiaoyin, we successfully repelled Team Rocket. However, the threat of Team Rocket still exists, and we have to remain vigilant."

Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with relief: "That's good, I was worried that you would be injured. Next time you meet Team Rocket, you must be careful to deal with it, understand?"

Xiaogang also patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder and said: "Yes, although we successfully repelled them this time, who knows if they will come back next time. We must be fully prepared to protect ourselves and Pokémon."

InDuring their discussion, residents of Hinoki Town came to the Pokémon Center. They learned from a red-haired boy that Xiaozhi had successfully repelled Team Rocket and protected Slowpoke, and came to ask Xiaozhi about his situation.

Facing everyone's concern, Xiaozhi felt very warm: "Thank you for your concern! But I'm going to find Mr. Steel now, and we'll talk again later!"

Just then, a pale-haired old man came out with a cane in his hand.

This man was Steel, and his granddaughter Chihui was supporting him on the side, looking at Xiaozhi with admiration.

Steel frowned and said to Xiaozhi: "Boy, I heard you were looking for me? Come to my house and talk."

...

...

Mr. Steel's home is located on the edge of Hinoki Town. The surrounding environment is quiet, but as night falls, the three can't help but feel a little nervous.

The house is built of wood, and the exterior wall of the house is a bit old, but it can be seen that the owner is very careful to maintain it.

When they stepped into the house, a fresh scent of wood hit them. The interior of the house is simple but very warm.

There are some Pokémon paintings hanging on the wall, and the floor is covered with soft carpets. In a corner, there is a desk with some Pokémon-related books and drawings on it.

In a corner of Mr. Steel's house, there is a large workbench with various tools and materials for making Pokémon equipment.

This workbench is used to make Pokémon fruit balls. Various metal materials and parts are placed around the workbench, and next to the workbench, there are some already made fruit balls as samples.

Obviously, this is where Mr. Steel usually studies and makes Pokémon props. There are various tools on the forging table, such as hammers, grinding wheels, clamps, etc., for Mr. Steel to forge and assemble Pokémon fruit balls.

"I have heard about this from Oki Yukinari."
