Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Xiaozhi and everyone were shocked to death by Pipa's sudden decision, and Xiaozhi asked.

"What's going on? I neither returned to Jinhui Town nor stayed in Boping City. Now I have to go to Zhiqin Town. How come the third answer comes up? Isn't this nonsense?"

Xiao Qing tapped Xiao Zhi on the head with a look of disgust.

"Didn't you listen to what Kenci said? Mr. Aoki is not in Jinhui Town right now. It's useless for us to go there..."

Xiaozhi thought for a while and continued.

"Then we are in Bottle City?"

Piper spoke again to persuade.

"Xiao Zhi, whether it is your gym challenge or my cooking competition, it requires the participation of the main character Chef Haidai. He is in Zhiqin Town now. We can only help him come back here as soon as possible. We are in Boping City tasks can be implemented.”

After saying that, Xiaozhi finally cleared his mind.

"So that's it, then why are we waiting here now? It's a round trip between three o'clock and the first line. The time is short and the tasks are heavy. Let's go and come back early!"

Looking at the excited Xiaozhi, Xiaoqing and Pipa also felt the rush of excitement.

Joel was deep in thought on the side. After learning about the itinerary of Xiaozhi and his party, he felt that this was a perfect plan. The personnel relationships in the three locations were closely intertwined, and it was indeed a good decision.

It's just... that helping Chef Haidai is an internal matter for them. It's up to them to do the job. Is it really okay to trouble Xiaozhi and the others? Out of normal humanistic considerations, no one would be so unreasonable.

But now Joel and the others really can't get away. If there is an errand boy to help him now, it will indeed save a lot of effort. Therefore, Joel also fell into deep self-blame.

Piper saw Joel's difficulty, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"That's it! Don't worry about us. Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing and I have made an agreement to go on a journey throughout Padia. We will set foot in every corner. It's just a matter of time."

After listening to Pipa's advice, Joel finally put his heart into his stomach, then handed the wallet back to Xiaozhi's hand and said.

"Then I'll trouble you. Fortunately, you showed up..."

In response to the thanks, Xiaozhi waved his hand and said.

"You're welcome, just leave it to us!"

When Xiaozhi and the others were about to return the wallet, Joel did not forget to remind them.

"By the way, I heard that there were the screams of unknown monsters and strange sandstorms in the dry desert. It is recommended that you pass through the pillar cave terrain to the north of it. I think Chef Haidai will also pass by. There, you chase him faster and try to intercept him halfway..."

Just when Joel was explaining this, the words "unknown monster" made Xiaozhi's eyes shine with gold and he said dreamily.

"I..., I think it would be better to pass through the dry desert."

Different from Xiaozhi's excitement, Xiaoqing also said with fear and trembling.

"You didn't hear Joel's suggestion just now, and you still want to go to the desert?"

Pipa said helping Xiaoqing.

"Xiao Zhi, our main task is to return the wallet to Chef Haidai. We must determine the priority and priority of good things, but we must not focus on one and lose the other! We can wait for Bingbing Desert and complete the task from Zhiqin Town , go there when you return, and you must go, after all, Mr. Aoki is there."

Xiaozhi also nodded and waited until everything was over before going to the place with the monster.

Joel continued to speak as he had not finished explaining what he just said.

"However, although there are no unknown monsters in the Pillar Cave, it is a wind-eroded landform with natural sunshade. It is the habitat of a group of wild little blacksmiths. They are not as cute as they appear on the surface."

"Little blacksmith?"

Ash took out his cell phone Rotom and inquired.

"Little blacksmith, forge Pokémon, fairy type and steel type.

Blacksmiths are only female. A hammer is made by pounding iron filings, and is redone over and over again until a satisfactory result is produced. It needs to wield a handmade hammer to protect itself, but its hammer is often snatched away by metal-eating Pokémon. "

This also made Xiaozhi regain his interest. At least it was possible to encounter new unseen Pokémon.

After Xiaozhi and the others left here and walked towards the door, Kenji said in silence.

"What did I say? Why did they just leave..."

Looking at the confused Kenji, Joel patted him on the shoulder, pushed him back to his seat and said.

"It's nothing. Just enjoy the rest of the food in peace. Your task is completed and you can log off. I'm going to work too..."

After saying that, everyone started to get busy.

Xiaozhi and his party were leaving towards the west exit of Bottle City. In front of them was the endless dry desert. The bright sun above their heads produced bursts of heat waves, but that direction was not their target. Along the northern part of the desert, A rock formation surrounded by continuous rock masses was their route.

The bright sun at noon was extremely hot, except for some ground-type and rock-type Pokémon that were not afraid of the heat, such as baby elephants, gophers, sand hippos, sandbag snakes, and fire humps. And the thorny ball cactus with the characteristic of hiding in the sand is still playing in the desert.

Other Pokémon that do not have the above characteristics choose to live by the river near Bottle City, or hide in the shadow of Pillar Cave to escape the heat, such as Skunk Poo, Monkey, Mongoose, etc. In the same shady living environment, they coexisted peacefully and harmoniously... When Xiaozhi and his party also went there, there were no hostile disputes.

In a cool environment, Xiao Qing was so hot that she stuck out her tongue and held New Leaf in one hand. New Leaf, a kitten Pokémon, was also afraid of the heat and stuck out her tongue at the same time. Xiao Qing used her hands as a fan, fanned herself, and said weakly.

"It's such a vicious sky, even the sky lacks flying Pokémon..."

Pipa rolled up her sleeves due to the heat, moved the huge backpack behind her into her hands, held the straps in her hands, and answered.

"Yes, the weather is quite hot... but there may be some threat due to the desert location, which may prevent them from passing by easily."

Ash half took off his jacket, exposing his shoulders, and replied disheveledly.

"Forget it for now, why haven't we met Mr. Haidai yet? Are you sure he will pass by here?"

Piper said, shaking her head.

"I don't know. Looking at Chef Haidai who rushed out of the bottle gym before, looking at his posture, I don't think he was just jogging all the way, right?"

"Ding dong, ding dong..."

Just as Xiaozhi and the others were walking and chatting, there was a sound of metal knocking in front of them, which inevitably aroused the curiosity of Xiaozhi and his group.

"What is this sound, ding-ding-dong-dong?"

Others did not have the answers to their questions. Practice gave true knowledge, and Xiaozhi and his party could only go to the place where the sound came from to find out.

Taking a closer look, a group of Pokémon look like purple-red elves, with a small pink hairpin on their heads and a huge metal pendant on their chests. The big hands on both arms are particularly eye-catching, each holding a small pendant. The small hammer with a tattered and pitted handle was hammering and forging against the rocks exposed on the ground. Under the influence of the accumulated attacks over time, the surrounding stones have become broken and devastated.

Xiaozhi looked at the appearance of these Pokémon. They were almost the same as the blacksmith information that he had previously checked in Rotom on his mobile phone, and said curiously.

"So this is the Little Blacksmith! Just like the introduction in the illustrated book, he is a group of Pokémon who knock and make hammers. The sound of 'ding-ding-dong-dong' was also made by them."

Looking at the group of wild blacksmiths, each one had their eyelids drooped, the corners of their mouths turned down, their faces full of fear, and they were trembling. I felt pity for them, which made Xiaozhi and the others relax their vigilance and unconsciously move in their direction. near.

Unexpectedly, the little blacksmiths were extremely sensitive. When they saw Xiaozhi and the others approaching, they all raised their hammers and waved them at Xiaozhi and the others, forcing Xiaozhi and his party to leave. The hammers fell with a "ding-ding-dong-dong" sound. , sending out bursts of shaking sensations on the ground.

Pipa said, urging Xiaozhi and Xiaoqing to leave.

"Xiao Zhi, Xiao Qing, let's not go there. Those sensitive little blacksmiths are getting suspicious and are on guard to prevent us from getting close. Let's go around."

"It can only be the……"

With that said, Xiaozhi and his group began to leave around the edge. After Xiaozhi and the others walked away, the wild little blacksmiths breathed a sigh of relief and began to carry out their own forging work again... and watched. With their reaction like this and respecting the survival habits of wild Pokémon, Xiaozhi and his group could only leave in anger.

As Xiaozhi and the others walked away, the loud and loud echoes that echoed in the wide pillar cave began to gradually become smaller and smaller until they disappeared.

Xiaozhi said reluctantly.

"Hey, it's rare to meet new Pokémon. I can only watch them from a distance but not get close. It's really a pity."

Piper behind her said comfortingly.

"Okay, I know Xiaozhi that you like all kinds of Pokémon, and we will meet again sooner or later. The only task now is to hurry up and get on with it..."

Just when Xiaozhi and the others were about to pass through the Pillar Cave, a rustling sound came from their side. Pikachu in front of everyone immediately became alert and took a defensive posture...

Xinye Miao, who was in Xiaoqing's arms, also broke away from the embrace and landed firmly on the ground, staring at the sound in the darkness.

Xiao Qing was startled by the sudden sound and said quickly.

"What...what happened? What happened."

In the darkness, "swish, swish", several purple-red, young figures flashed out, startling everyone. After Xiaozhi and the others came back to their senses, they saw clearly that the person who came was none other than the little forge who passed by before. The craftsmen saw fierce looks on their faces, blocking the way for Xiaozhi and his party to leave here.

Xiaozhi asked quickly.

"What's wrong? Little blacksmiths, why are you blocking our way..."

Before Xiaozhi had finished asking..., at this moment, the three little blacksmiths led by them suddenly launched an attack, and huge fists suddenly fell down, hitting the three of them in the direction of Xiaozhi.

Fortunately, the three of them had quick eyesight and quick hands, and avoided their gravel attacks with screams. The moment Xiaozhi and his party jumped away, the attack hit the ground where they were originally standing. When they took their hands back, they found large holes left in the ground.

Xiaozhi and the others were stunned for a moment.

"What kind of strange power is this! I thought it was a cute Lolita-shaped Pokémon, but it turned out to be King Kong Barbie!"

Facing the surprise attack, with the crazy shouts of Pikachu and New Leaf, a battle was about to break out, but Xiaozhi and the others did not want to fight them, and shouted one after another.

"Pikachu, stop it!"

Facing Xiaozhi and the others' concession, the little blacksmiths did not hold back. A fairy wind attack blew over the heads of Xiaozhi and the others, and almost hit them...

Pikachu tried his best to communicate with the other party, hoping to find out why the other party was attacking Xiaozhi and the others.

"Pika, pika, pika..."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The anger of the wild little blacksmiths has not been calmed down. After the negotiations were fruitless, they also provoked a second round of attacks, forcing Xiaozhi and the others to retreat continuously... When they turned around, they found that they were also surrounded by other little blacksmiths. The craftsman stopped him.

The attentive Xiao Qing discovered the clue and said to Xiao Zhi and Pipa.

"Wait a minute, look at the little blacksmith's hands. They were previously in his hands, but the hammer used for forging is missing!"

Following Xiaoqing's reminder, Xiaozhi and the others also paid attention.

"No wonder the banging sound became quieter. I thought I had left their territory, but it turned out that the hammer was lost..."

Suddenly, Piper interrupted Ash and exclaimed.

"I see. I think the hammers of the little blacksmiths were missing for some reason. When they couldn't find them, they mistakenly thought they were taken away when we just passed by, right?"

"Is that so? Pikachu!"

Faced with Xiaozhi's question, Pikachu nodded fiercely.

The opponent's attack is still continuing...

"It seems that we have been completely misunderstood by these little blacksmiths. If we don't help them find the hammer, they will definitely not give up... That's it! Let's escape there quickly."

Following the direction of Pipa's finger, Xiaozhi and the others looked to the side, where they could enter the depths of the Pillar Cave..., so everyone went inside one after another.

A small blacksmith attacked behind them, waving an alloy claw with a metallic luster in his big hand to attack, and violently smashed into the hole where Xiaozhi and the others entered...

A violent explosion was triggered, and the cave entrance collapsed. The wind and thick smoke set off by the explosion blew Xiao Qing away from the team, causing Xiao Qing to fall into a hollow space extending downwards in the cave.

"Xiaoqing, catch me quickly!"

"what……!"

Xiaozhi stretched out a rescue hand, but Xiaoqing was too late and was not long enough to reach it. Just like that, Xiaoqing and Xiaozhi, Pipa, Pikachu, and Xinye Miao were separated, and one person fell into the depths of the sunken cave of Liezhu Cave. at.
