Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

After seeing the light of day again, Xiaozhi and his party stretched out towards the sky after walking out of the Pillar Cave. However, to be precise, they had not completely walked out at this time because they were still under the huge mountain. , but wind erosion has chipped away the surrounding mountains.

Xiao Qing tentatively stamped her injured foot. After feeling nothing strange, she broke away from the hands of Xiao Zhi and Pipa, and then slowly regained her footing after swaying again.

Pipa stretched out her hands to protect her worriedly and said.

"Be careful, Xiaoqing, don't force yourself, continue to let us support you..."

After Xiaoqing shook her head, she jumped up and down again, and said.

"Look, I'm okay now, much better!"

Xiaozhi said happily when he saw Xiaoqing who was no longer seriously injured.

"It's fine if nothing happens, but you still have to have a good rest. You and Qi Qilin both suffered in the Pillar Cave before..."

As soon as Xiaozhi mentioned Qilin's name, Qilin ran out of the elf ball... Since Xiaozhi and the others had not yet left the mountain's sunshade, Qilin Qilin's head slammed against the mountain above after it appeared. The collision caused it to bend down in a half-crouched position.

Xiaoqing said distressedly.

"What's wrong? You, Qi Qilin, suddenly appeared...does it hurt?"

After saying that, Xiao Qing gently stroked Qi Qilin's lowered head. Qi Qilin shook his stunned head and signaled that he was fine. Then he stretched his neck and pointed at his back... which made Xiao Qing a little confused.

"I think Qi Qilin is still worried about your injury and hopes that he can continue to carry you after leaving the column hole, right?"

After hearing Paipa's guess, Xiaoqing asked Qi Qilin.

"Is that so? Qi Qilin..."

Qi Qilin nodded vigorously. It was obvious that Pipa guessed its thoughts. Xiao Qing politely declined after smiling slightly.

"Thank you, Qi Qilin, but I have recovered now, and you are also injured, so just go back to the Poké Ball and have a good rest!"

Facing Xiaoqing's rejection, Qilinqi shook his head and still insisted on carrying Xiaoqing away... Xiaoqing couldn't resist it for a while, and he felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Xiaozhi said enviously from the side.

"Isn't this great? Isn't it cool to ride such a tall Qilin on the road and become the focus of everyone's attention?"

Xiao Qing retorted forcefully.

"That's right, I just don't want to be as noticed as you said, so I decided to refuse!"

After making a fuss for a while, Xiaozhi and his party said goodbye to the wild little blacksmiths, left the sunshade of the Liezhudong mountain, and were truly exposed to the dazzling sunlight.

Together we continue on the road to return Haidai's wallet and head to Zhiqin Town.

Pipa became a little anxious and said.

"We were delayed a lot by Team Rocket's trouble. We originally thought we could intercept Chef Haidai on the way...but now we can only go to Zhiqin Town non-stop."

Xiaozhi said after adjusting his hat.

"Then there is nothing we can do. We can only go there. When we come back, we will definitely help you go back to your parents first..."

Piper remained silent and just nodded silently.

"What? What did you say underneath..., Xiaozhi, Pipa..."

In the end, Xiao Qing accepted Qi Qilin's request and rode on it to the road. Because Xiao Qing was holding Xinye Miao and sitting on Qi Qilin's back some distance away from the ground, she did not hear Xiao Qing clearly. Wise what they say.

After a while, Xiaozhi and the others gradually approached Zhiqin Town from the edge of the dry desert. Vegetation gradually appeared in the barren desert along the way, indicating that they were getting closer and closer to the town.

Not far away, a towering lighthouse rose from the ground as Xiaozhi and the others approached, and Xiaozhi shouted excitedly.

"That lighthouse! We are almost at Ziqin Town."

After saying that, he started running with Pikachu and headed there quickly, eager to see what kind of place Zhiqin Town and Zhiqin Market were.

After getting closer, they found that the lighthouse was built on a gentle slope. Xiaozhi and Pikachu climbed up there and came to the side of the lighthouse. After arriving here, I realized that I had taken the wrong path. The end of the slope was just a small fault except for the lighthouse. The real road leading to Zhiqin Town was downhill on the side of the slope.

By the time Xiaozhi came to his senses, Pipa and Xiaoqing were already following closely behind them, coming in the wrong direction...

After Xiaozhi turned around, he said to Xiaoqing and Pipa.

"We're going the wrong way, turn around!"

Just when Xiaozhi and Pipa were about to return the same way, Qi Qilin carried Xiaoqing and Xinye Miao and continued to move forward. Facing the upcoming fault, Xiaozhi shouted anxiously.

"Be careful if you fall! Xiaoqing, Qi Qilin..."

At Xiaozhi's warning voice, Qi Qilin raised his forelimbs and stepped out into the air. The next second, he landed firmly on the ground of the fault. After taking off his hind limbs, he actually walked over safely. Xiaozhi and Pikachu looked at each other. stunned.

Piper then said.

"It seems that this small slope can no longer stop Qi Qilin's long legs."

After Qi Qilin crossed there, he kindly extended his neck so that Xiaozhi and Pipa could keep its neck and slide down the fault...

With the help of Qi Qilin, Xiaozhi and the others were able to get down from the top smoothly. They could go straight to Zhiqin Town in front of them without having to make a special detour. Even Xiaozhi said with envy.

"That's great, Xiaoqing, you have such a cool mount..."

However, Xiao Qing's face may be so natural. As Xiao Zhi and his party get closer and closer to Zhiqin Town, there are more and more pedestrians on the road. Xiao Qing, who is sitting on the tall Qi Qilin, Became the focus of everyone.

A mother on the road passed by with her child. After seeing Qi Qilin and Xiao Qing, the child's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly to his mother.

"Mom! I also want to sit on Qi Qilin..., Mom! Let me sit quickly..."

After the mother glanced at Xiaoqing and the others, she pulled the child aside and said.

"Be good and be obedient. That's my sister's Qi Qilin. You can't sit on it..."

Unexpectedly, the child cried louder.

"No, I want it! Let me sit down quickly..."

As Xiaozhi and his party passed by the mother and child, the sound of the child crying became farther and farther away until it disappeared...

At this time, Xiao Qing's face, which was sitting on Qi Qilin's back, was getting redder and redder, and his lowered head was lowering lower and lower. Until now, Xiao Qing couldn't bear it any more, so he rolled off Qi Qilin's back and shouted to the ground.

"Don't sit down anymore, don't sit down anymore, Qi Qilin..."

Qi Qilin looked at Xiao Qing with a puzzled look, and Xiao Zhi also came out and said curiously.

"Why don't you sit down, Xiaoqing?"

Facing the persuasion, Xiao Qing shook her head decisively, with an attitude that she would not sit down no matter what she said this time, and spoke.

"My foot injury has healed, and I no longer need to be taken care of by Qi Qilin!"

After Qi Qilin saw that Xiao Qing was completely fine, he had no choice but to give up. Xiao Qing immediately took out Qi Qilin's Poke Ball and subdued it. After all, the tall Qi Qilin had suddenly become the center of attention.

Finally, after crossing the desert, Xiaozhi and the others finally arrived at Zhiqin Town, and Haidai was somewhere in this town.

Entering Zhiqin Town, a bay town, a gentle sea breeze blows from time to time. Even in midsummer, you don't feel hot. With the light salty smell of sea water, it becomes more and more fresh and pleasant.

Before Xiaozhi and the others could feel comfortable for a moment, Pipa spoke.

"I remember Joel said that Chef Haidai came to the Zhiqin Market in Zhiqin Town to conduct an auction. So where is the Zhiqin Market?"

As he was talking, at the very edge of the town near the seaside, a huge building covered with a white tarpaulin came into view.

Ash said after pointing there.

"The Ziqin Market you mentioned is not there, right?"

"Maybe, let's go there and have a look."

After a while, Xiaozhi and the others also came to what was suspected to be the Ziqin Market. After getting closer, they found that the Ziqin Market was even bigger. On both sides of the several passages extending in all directions in the middle, there were all kinds of goods put out by various merchants. Items are for sale.

One by one, I saw the vendors in front of me. It is indeed a small town near the bay. On the seaside of the market is the pier where fishing boats are docked. The fishermen go out to sea for fishing. After the fully loaded fishing boats dock, they can go directly to the stalls. For sale.

Here, most of them are rich in seafood, including various kinds of sea fish, shellfish, sea plants, etc., and there are also stalls selling fruits, props, medicines, souvenirs, etc. The variety is so diverse that it is overwhelming. A dazzling array of items.

Looking at the shouts of sales and the movement of people everywhere, it was not easy to find Hai Dai.

Xiaozhi suddenly had an idea and said.

"By the way, the three of us have all met Mr. Haidai once before, and we all know his appearance. I think that as long as we search separately, we will be able to find where he is soon..."

Xiaoqing and Pipa nodded, accepted Xiaozhi's suggestion, and then divided their troops into three groups and began to search separately...

After they separated, they also noticed that the auction session of this Zhiqin market turned out to be at a small stall. After the stall owner took out a rare product, he shouted to the tourists. Among the people gathered, some were spectators, and some were real buyers. Since there was only one buyer, of course he took all the money.

But after there are more than two or more sellers, the stall owner of the product will display the starting price and let the sellers conduct a bidding auction. The one with the highest price will win. Therefore, this kind of small gathering auctions happen from time to time in front of stalls in this market.

When Pipa just passed by a stall, an auction happened to be held here. After the auction, all the tourists left one after another. At this time, there were not many products left in this stall, and the young stall owner was planning to close the stall after earning enough fees.

In his stall, the only remaining product was a fiery red stone that caught Pipa's eyes. Pipa was also fascinated by it involuntarily. After seeing Pipa approaching, the stall owner naturally introduced it.

"This little brother, you are really discerning. This piece is not an ordinary stone, but a fire stone produced in nature. It is a stone used for the evolution of specific fire Pokémon. I am not exaggerating, this stain is In the Qin market, I am the only stall that deals in evolutionary stones. I am destined to meet you, and I am planning to close the stall and go back. Well, if you want to buy it, I will give it to you at a cheaper price. How about you just take a fire stone?"

After seeing the young stall owner's enthusiastic sales pitch, Paipa did not shy away from speaking out.

"Hello, I do have a companion on hand who needs the power of this fire stone, but at the price you offered, I don't have it for a while. What I have on hand now is only one thing... "

As he spoke, Pipa folded the backpack behind his chest. After unzipping it, he rummaged through it. After a while, a thunder stone appeared from his backpack. That was just before, when Pipa and the others were pacifying the plains of light pods, those pods used the remaining thunder stones.

After seeing Pipa's Thunder Stone, the young stall owner first felt contempt and then spoke.

"This little brother, aren't you? It's not the rules here in Zhiqin Market to exchange the Stone of Thunder for the Stone of Fire. There are only two modes of normal trading and auction here, and all other forms are not supported. .”

With that said, the young stall owner began to pack up his stall, and Paipa behind him said angrily.

"Then there's nothing I can do, because I only have this..."

After saying that, he planned to turn around and go back, but he was attracted by the sound of a hungry stomach. It turned out that the sound of a hungry stomach came from the young stall owner.

After finishing cleaning up, I saw him rubbing his hungry stomach and talking to himself.

"Hey, if I had known I would have eaten that half of the bread before leaving the stall in the morning. I have been busy from morning to night today, and my stomach has already been unable to bear it even if I haven't eaten even a drop of water."

After saying that, the young stall owner's nose moved, which was when he smelled the aroma of food, and then turned his head to look.

I saw Pipa taking out a sandwich from his backpack and handing it to the other person and saying.

"It's not okay to be hungry. You have to eat three meals a day on time and maintain normal nutritional intake to maintain your daily life and work needs. I'll give you this sandwich."

The young stall owner looked at Pipa's sandwich and then at Pipa's face, and then said while suppressing his hunger.

"Well, even so, I won't accept barter."

Piper smiled and said.

"It's two different things. I'm not going to buy it, but it's not my style to see people hungry."

At this time, the young stall owner was already drooling from the sandwich in Pipa's hand. After taking the sandwich from Pipa's hand gingerly, he thanked him and wolfed it down quickly.

After a while, he wiped out the sandwich, then he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to the sky and roared.

"It's so delicious. This is the best sandwich I've ever had..."

Seeing the young stall owner giving such comments, Pipa was satisfied. As he was leaving, he was suddenly stopped by the other party.

"That little brother, please wait a moment..."
