Chapter 11 Leaving Table City and enjoying the infinite scenery
Stepping out of the school gate, walking in the city of Deshitai outside the school, before going out into the wild...
Xiaozhi and the others didn't know it, and were shocked when they saw it. Ever since they entered Table City, they were chased by Team Rocket's giant robot all the way to Orange & Grape Academy. Within a month of studying, I have yet to take a good look at what the scenery of Table City is like outside of the academy.
After all, the college is so large that there are restaurants, canteens, medical rooms, home economics classrooms, art classrooms and other departments all available, so there is no shortage of necessary facilities for any kind of life. So much so that Xiaozhi and the others had no intention of going out for off-campus shopping, and at that time, he was focused on finding ways to obtain qualifications for off-campus adventures.
In the city, there are all kinds of shops and vendors along the way, including clothing stores, beauty and barber shops, flower shops, commodity stores, desserts, restaurants, and snack shops.
A food stall came into view of Xiaozhi and the others.
“Padiya Snack Shop…”
Ash said to Pikachu and Lucario beside him.
"Let's go try it."
Looking for the scent, Xiaozhi and the others seemed to be fascinated all the way, and passed by in a state of ecstasy.
Looking at the snacks filling the screen, Xiaozhi was already drooling...
"Boss, please give me this refreshing and sweet-sour sandwich..."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After a while, the steaming hot sandwich was ready. After Xiaozhi took it, he divided it into three pieces and shared it with the two Pokémon.
Pikachu and Lucario were eating with relish, while Xiaozhi fell into thinking after finishing his piece of sandwich... The snack bar owner couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"What's wrong, guest? Does it taste bad?"
Xiaozhi couldn't explain why, so he hesitated.
"I don't know how to put it. Maybe it's because my neighbor who lives in the college dormitory next door likes to tinker with spices and has been influenced by him for a long time, so I feel that the taste is a little lacking."
Bang bang bang... The snack shop owner couldn't help but applaud after hearing this.
"Awesome, awesome... I bet you are a student of Orange & Grape Academy, right?"
"Yes, I am indeed a transfer student who has been studying there for a month. I didn't expect that I changed back to my original clothes for an adventure outside the school... and you, the boss, recognized it."
"Because I just heard your description, and I have been exposed to this special spice in a short period of time. Except for Afeng, the pastry chef of Paisure Mousse who is not in this city, and Hai Dai, the chef of the Chinese restaurant Hai Dai Club, Apart from these two masters and apprentices, the only one left is Savaro, the home economics teacher in the college..."
"But my cooking skills are vastly different from theirs. Only the three masters who can make the seasoning close to the secret taste are the three masters I just mentioned... Then your neighbor is Mr. Savarro!"
"Uh, no, I live in the student dormitory area. The person living next door to me is also a student and is my senior."
The owner of the snack bar looked incredulous after hearing this.
"What! Light has allowed you to improve your sense of smell to this level... It seems that the student is really talented in cooking."
In fact, Xiaozhi didn't do much research on the culinary industry in the Padia region. His dietary preferences just followed his own appetite, just like animals.
"Boss, how much is the sandwich?"
The other party was confused.
"Money? Although it is okay for foreign tourists to pay with money here. However, since you are a student of the academy, you should know that it is more cost-effective to pay with LP points..."
"LP points?"
"Yes, don't you know? It is exclusively created and issued by the Padian Alliance. It is used to replace ordinary gold coin transactions. It is similar to an electronic currency... Well, you have the mobile phone Rotom distributed by the academy, right? .”
"Yes, I have!"
Xiaozhi said, took it out from his pocket and handed it to the other party. After taking it and playing with it for a while, he handed it back to Xiaozhi.
"Look, it's not right here."
"Oh! It's really..."
Xiaozhi said and patted his face with his hand, thinking...
"Damn it, I probably didn't pay attention in class. Otherwise, how could I not know about this function on the Rotom mobile phone? And after the battle with the two members of the Sky Star Team, the Tai Jing Bead needs to be charged. I have no way of knowing..."
"Uh, Tai Jingzhu... By the way, I haven't accumulated energy yet!"
Immediately ask the snack shop owner to arrive.
"Boss, do you know where the Pokémon Center is in Table City?"
"Pokémon Center! It's at the west gate of this city... But you are closer to the south gate now. If you plan to go out of the city through the south gate, I suggest you go out in the current direction. Because in There is a Pokémon Center not far outside the door..."
"Oh, this is the first time I've heard that there are Pokémon centers outside the city. Aren't they usually built in small towns? Doesn't this design look like an inn?"
After the boss heard this, he thought about it carefully.
"Is it an inn... Pfft, hahaha! When you say that, it really means something like that. Guest, you are really an interesting person..."
After paying for the sandwich, Xiaozhi began to leave the gate of Table City and embark on a real adventure.
Walking out of Zuotai City, everything was so interesting. In the vast land, strong winds blew in, blowing the wild shuttlecock grass and shuttlecock flowers on the roadside into the sky... I was actually chased by the Rockets along the way. The scenery when riding a bicycle.
"This familiar scenery... this slowly upward road... the puddles on the roadside slopes... the pink waterfowl with long legs, long necks and long beaks that I have never seen on the puddles... It turns out that we were from Here, all the way to the south gate of Table City, so many things happened... It seems that we should also thank the Rockets for helping us get off to a good start!"
Xiaozhi sighed to Pikachu next to him..., suddenly.
"Oh, look Pikachu, what is that?"
Looking in the direction where Xiaozhi exclaimed, he saw a Pokémon that looked like Ubaba but was black in color, playing by the pit...
"Let's go over and take a look!"
As he said that, he took Pikachu and slid down to the puddle on the slope of the roadside... The "Black Wave" by the puddle also noticed Xiaozhi and Pikachu coming over, and jumped into the puddle with a splash, stirring up a wave of excitement. The ripples on the water also startled the "pink long-necked waterfowl" that were foraging on the water, and they flew away...
Before Xiaozhi could see clearly, they all left, but a new target came into view.
"Oh, oh! Pikachu, there, there!"
Under the tree on the other side of the road, there was a "white yarn ball" Pokémon that was frightened by Xiaozhi's startled voice. It sprayed out white silk threads and swayed to the tree... There was also a "black ball" Pokémon behind the tree. The Pokémon, which was round and had a snorting sound from its nose, rolled into the bushes not far away...
"Wow! Look, Pikachu, it's a new Pokémon I've never seen before. I'm so happy..."
Unknowingly, we were talking, laughing, walking, running and jumping along the way... and arrived at the Pokémon Center where the snack bar owner pointed the way.
"So this is the Pokémon Center that the boss said? It does look like an inn."
The Pokémon Center in the Padia region looks like an outdoor "pavilion". The small "pavilion" is divided into three areas, which are divided into blue, red, and green areas. Red is the color favored by the Pokémon Center, blue is the Pokémon Store, and the green area is unknown.
When he got closer, he saw that the doctor in the red area of the Pokémon Center was Miss Joy, whom Xiaozhi was familiar with. Xiaozhi took out his Tai Jing Bead and approached to ask.
"Hello, Miss Joy, is the energy storage of the Taijing Bead performed here?"
"Hello, of course the energy is stored here at the Pokémon Center. We have a cooperative relationship with the alliance. In addition, it can also help you restore the Pokémon's physical strength!"
Xiaozhi thought.
"Of course I know that no matter which region you are in, Pokémon centers are used to restore Pokémon's physical strength, but I haven't seen a Pokémon center in this area before. Before, I went to the infirmary in the academy, Mimosa Medical Changna helped the Pokémon regain its strength."
Answer to the other party.
"Thank you, Miss Joy. Please help my Pikachu and Lucario regain their strength."
After helping Xiaozhi recover the physical strength of the two Pokémon, Ms. Joy enthusiastically introduced them.
"This is our unique outdoor Pokémon Center in the Padia region. It will be distributed in multiple locations in the Padia region... You remember, the red is the Pokémon business, and it is in the blue area on my side. The guy on the other side is a Pokémon store, and the smart robot in the green area on the other side provides communication services for traveling trainers... "
Xiaozhi's eyes lit up.
"Communications business?"
At a glance, Xiaozhi only saw Miss Joy in the red area and the store boy in the blue area. As for the cylindrical robot in the green area, Xiaozhi thought it was some kind of instrument. Miss Joy continued.
"Yes, due to the influence of the magnetic field of the huge crater in the area, communications within Padia and external communications within the region will be blocked by Rotom on the mobile phone alone. Just contact our robot in the green area here. It can enhance the signal for communication... but it is not mastered every time. It is still being used on a trial basis. You can try it a few more times. It can also help trainers store more than six Pokémon on hand and send them to Orange & The Pokémon Ranch in Grape Academy..."
Xiaozhi had heard a little about how big the college ranch was, but he didn't know where he was sent... As for Xiaozhi, who had been away from the Galar region for a long time, he thought that he had never said hello to Dr. Oak and his mother at home, and he had never said hello before. I tried to communicate via Rotom on my cell phone but failed... I thought I'd give it a try now that I'm here.
Come to the green cylinder intelligent robot.
"Hello, I would like to communicate with the Oak Research Institute in Zhenxin Town, Kanto Region."
The robot twists its body and makes sounds.
"Jiligulu...Okay, please control the panel in front of you."
Through the panel instructions, it was successfully connected.
"Dududu... Hello, hello! This is Dr. Omu's research institute. What can I do for you?"
"Hey, this voice! Are you Xiao Jian?"
"You are... Ash! That's right, it's me. We all saw it on TV. Congratulations on becoming the king of the Pokémon World Championship. Congratulations!"
"No, it's just that Mr. Dandi has let the water go... By the way, where is Dr. Omu?"
"Ah! If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten that the news said you were missing... Dr. Omu and your mother are worried!"
During the communication, a voice came from the other side.
"Xiao Jian, who are you talking to? Is it Xiao Zhi?"
Dr. Oak came over to take a look.
"It's really Xiaozhi, where did you go? Your mother is very worried about you!"
Xiaozhi replied sheepishly.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Omu. I'm in the Padia area now..."
Dr. Oak thought.
"The Padia region! I know that place, on an overseas island. A strange magnetic field prevails there, which causes the area to be relatively lacking in all communications outside the island. In this regard, people in the area have no access to the outside world. The information received was lagging behind, and the outside world also knew nothing about the secrets in the giant pit inside... The last time I met the local Dr. Olin and Fortu was ten years ago when I went out to sea to do Pokémon research. matter."
"By the way, Xiaozhi, why did you go to that place?"
Xiaozhi told Dr. Oak and Xiaojian the whole story in detail.
"Mr. Dandi is really good. He sacrificed his own freedom in exchange for your freedom, Xiaozhi... I believe that the title of the strongest runner-up will be the same as his previous title of the strongest champion, and will continue to shine."
"Yes, this is a secret between us that is not told to the outside media. My identity has not been known to the Padia area, so I can take risks here without any worries from fans."
After hearing this, Dr. Omu was thoughtful.
"In that case, Xiaozhi, I have a heartfelt request..."
"Dr. Ohki, you're welcome, just say it."
"It's a rare opportunity, so just practice Pokémon training here... At the same time, I also ask you to help solve the mystery of the mysterious magnetic field in the giant pit in the area. Orin and Dr. Futu have also lost contact for ten years. During this period, I also tried to communicate with them many times, but there was no word from them. I also hope that Xiaozhi can help them solve the problem."
"Of course, doctor. I have also obtained the Tai Jing Bead and officially embarked on an adventure outside of school..."
Dr. Omu sighed with emotion.
"Tai Jingzhu! I didn't expect that their fantasy research and conjecture ten years ago has now really become a reality. Pokémon can choose any one of eighteen attributes, which greatly improves the flexibility in battle. It’s truly a rare piece of research.”
The two people who haven't seen each other for a long time, one is a well-known Pokémon doctor in the field of Pokémon research, and he is also the guide for Xiaozhi to become a Pokémon trainer; the other is a young boy who came from a small place, and gradually... Grow into a world-class king. The grandfather and grandson had a great time chatting with each other, and they chatted for a long time without realizing it.
"Zizzizi..."
During the call, the other party's voice became smaller and smaller, and the sound of the current became louder and louder. The robot on the side reminded.
"Sir, the call current is beginning to be interfered with, and the signal will no longer be received. Please keep your words short."
"Oh, okay! That's it, doctor, the signal is blocked and will be interrupted soon. I will take good care of myself. Say hello to my mother for me. Goodbye..."
"By the way, you should still be able to meet important trainers from your hometown in the Padia region..."
Xiaozhi didn't seem to hear the last words of Dr. Oak's instructions. After ending the call, the Tai Jing Bead also charged up, and continued walking on the road ahead.
