Pokémon's Easy Journey

Chapter 114 Drought in Huipi Town

Xiaozhi and the other two passed through the last forest and arrived at Huipi Town. On the way, Xiaozhi subdued the lazy Fireball Rat and also taught the trainer who owned the Sand Mountain King a lesson.

At this time, the three of them came to Huipi Town in Chengdu area.

Huipi Town is a small town located in the south of Chengdu area.

Huipi Town is very famous. One of the reasons is that there is a Slowpoke Well near the farmland on the eastern outskirts of Huipi Town, and a large number of Slowpoke live in the Slowpoke Well.

"Master is so lucky! You can encounter rare Pokémon like Fireball Rat in the forest!" Nana was complaining about her luck at this time.

"Isn't it said that Huipi Town is a town with developed agriculture and good weather?" Xiaoxia looked at the dry farmland around her with confusion.

The strong sunlight was shining brightly, and Xiaozhi had to cover his eyes with his hands and look around.

The surrounding area was very dry, and there were cracks of various sizes on the ground. It looked like it hadn't rained for a long time.

"It seems like something's wrong with Slowpoke!"

"Master, over there!" Nana pointed to a pink dumb Pokémon.

Xiaozhi and the other two immediately walked over to Slowpoke to observe.

"It seems to be asleep?" Nana said looking at the motionless Pokémon.

"Slow Pokémon?" Xiaoxia said.

"Quaa?" Pokuda duck sneaked out from the Pokmon ball again.

"Stay~" Slowpoke opened his eyes and looked at Kodak.

"Hey. Who are you?" A farmer holding a hoe was looking at Xiaozhi and others with eager eyes.

"We are Pokémon trainers, we are just observing Slowpoke!" Xiaozhi quickly explained after seeing the farmer's attitude.

"Don't disturb Mr. Slowpoke, leave now!" After hearing this, the farmer waved his hoe before Xiaozhi could say a few words.

There was no other way. After all, it was someone else's farmland. Xiaozhi and the other three had no choice but to leave and enter Huipi Town.

The streets of Huipi Town were in a state of depression. There were closed shops everywhere, and not a single soul was seen for a long time.

"Is this really a town?" This was the first time Nana saw such a depressed street.

"There is an announcement over there." Xiaoxia pointed into the distance and said.

"Due to the long-term drought, the water supply is now seriously insufficient. In order to ensure the normal production of farmland, the town has implemented restrictions on water supply. Residents, please understand!"

"what!"

Suddenly, a Slowpoke fell from the roof. Nana was frightened. She had no time to dodge and was crushed by the Slowpoke.

"stay!"

"Who! Dare to hurt our respected Slowpoke-sama!" A young man in strange clothes jumped out of nowhere and quickly pulled Slowpoke away and said.

Soon, residents rushed out from all directions and surrounded the three of Xiaozhi.

"Hey, are you being unreasonable? Slowpoke is holding me down, okay!" Nana still wanted to argue, but she forgot that this is a town where Slowpoke is respected.

"It would be an honor for Slowpoke-sama to hit you!"

"That's right!"

...............

The residents stared at the three men fiercely, as if they had done something heinous and bad.

"Pika!" Pikachu and Xiaonai were staring at the residents.

"Are you Xiaozhi?"

At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, who seemed to be a Zhengfu staff member here.

"Yes."

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." The middle-aged man apologized immediately.

"Everyone, leave what needs to be dispersed!"

The crowd dispersed.

"I'm really sorry, because it hasn't rained here for a long time. Everyone is looking forward to Slowpoke praying for rain, but..."

"But what?" Xiaoxia asked immediately.

"But the people here have long been blinded by profit!" An old man wearing a Slowpoke costume said as he took off his hood.

"Mr. Steel." the middle-aged man said.

"This is God's will, a punishment from God!" Mr. Steel continued.

"Why do you say that?" Xiaozhi asked.

"Oh, come with me!" Mr. Steel sighed, and led Xiaozhi and the other two to the Well of Slowpoke.

"This is where the Slowpoke lives, come in."

Later, Xiaozhi and the others entered the underground of the Well of Slowpoke from a nearby cave and saw a shocking scene!

"Here, why do so many of the Slowpoke beasts here have tails?" Nana said in shock.

"Isn't this the town of Jupik where Slowpoke is respected?"

"Well, we used to respect Slowpoke, but one day a businessman came and said that Slowpoke's tail is a high-quality ingredient and he bought it at a high price." Mr. Steel said.

"Many people think that even without Slowpoke, there is plenty of rain in Jupik Town, so..."

"Since then, many people have cut off the tails of their own Slowpoke, even those who want other people's Slowpoke! For this reason, we have to protect the Slowpoke here!"

"That's too much!" Xiaoxia, as a water Pokémon lover, was very excited.

"However, God seems to know the sins people have committed. It has not rained in Huipi Town for a long time. Our water is basically transferred from surrounding towns."

Looking at the Slowpoke beasts with their tails cut off around them, Xiaozhi felt a little distressed.

"Can Slowpoke's tail grow back?" Nana asked.

"Slowpoke is a lizard Pokémon. Its tail can heal itself, but every time its tail is docked, it will shorten Slowpoke's lifespan!" Mr. Steel said.

"Does the alliance not care?" Xiaoxia asked.

"This is legal. The society built by humans is of course based on respecting humans." Xiaozhi took out the illustrated book and looked it up, and found many ingredients similar to Slowpoke tails.

"No matter what, I won't buy it!" Xiaoxia said looking at the ingredients in the illustrated book.

"How to solve the drought?" Nana asked.

"These are all sins committed by the people of Huipi Town. After the punishment, the drought will naturally end!" Mr. Steel said.

"But will those who didn't cut off the tails of Slowpoke also be punished?" Nana asked.

"The farmland water supply in Huipi Town is provided by the alliance. Most of the people selling Slowpoke tails are "beasts" who are blinded by profit. Most of them live in the city.

And when the trend of cutting off Slowpoke's tails appeared in that town, those who were unwilling to do so had already left here with their Slowpoke. "

"Although people in this town still worship Slowpoke, it's all hypocritical. If there hadn't been such a long drought, they wouldn't have reflected at all!" Mr. Steel said.

"In this case, why not legislate in Juniper Town and not allow harm to Slowpoke?" Xiaozhi suggested.

"Oh, I mentioned it a long time ago, and many people opposed it!" Mr. Steel replied.

"But that was before. Now that the drought has become so severe, I believe everyone will not object."

"You're right!" Mr. Steel took off his Slowpoke costume, his eyes lit up, and he led Xiaozhi and the others to the square of Huipi Town, and called the residents who were still in Huipi Town.

"Everyone, the drought, God's punishment for harming our respected Slowpoke, has been going on for a long time. Now I hope to pass a law that will never harm Slowpoke in our town of Juniper!" Mr. Steel said with a loudspeaker.

Several men seemed to have bad expressions. As soon as they raised their hands to object, people around them gathered around.

"You guys were the ones who tricked us into selling Slowpoke's tail! Do you still want to object now?"

The men suddenly withered and left the square dejectedly.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Seeing everyone's changes, Mr. Steel was very moved.

"In this case, from today onwards, harming the Slowpoke in Huipi Town will be considered an illegal act, and Huipi Town will have the right to arrest anyone who violates the law!"

Miss Junsha was also very happy on the sidelines, and she didn't want to see people hurting Slowpoke.

That's when the bill took effect in the town of Juniper and was posted on a large bulletin board.

The Slowpoke in the Well of Slowpoke were currently on the mountain, yawning and raising their hands toward the sky.

The clouds in the clear sky became thicker and thicker, and the sky darkened, completely shrouded in dark clouds.

Feeling the water energy in the sky, Xiaozhi knew that this was the Slowpoke's prayer for rain. With the efforts of Mr. Steel, he forgave the people in the town.

Soon, drops of rain, from weak to strong, began to appear from the dark clouds, and a downpour was coming!

People in Juniper Town rushed out of their homes, "Lord Slowpoke!"

Many people know in their hearts that this is all the help of Slowpoke, and from now on, everyone truly regards Slowpoke as "gods"!

With the heavy downpour, the dry riverbed was filled with rainwater, and many Pokémon flew back to the vicinity of Juniper Town, very happy by the river.

The dry farmland has become fertile, the cracked land has slowly healed, and the earth has become green again.
