Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

On their way to Yuanmo City, Xiaozhi and his party decided to rest outdoors and finish their lunch before continuing their trip.

"It's so delicious. I never had the opportunity to eat the sandwiches made by Pipa before, but now I can eat them every time. I really can't get tired of them."

Xiao Qing also said affirmatively.

"The sandwiches made by Pipa can indeed be said to be among the best in the Padia region. However, we seem to have been eating sandwiches lately..."

Piper smiled sheepishly and said.

"Thank you for the compliment, but it is true that my cooking skills are limited to making cooking sandwiches and Pokémon food for Pokémon. I can't do anything else."

"How is that possible? You can do so well with sandwiches alone, how can you say that you can't do anything with other dishes?"

"Indeed, the strange thing is that I can only make sandwiches. I can make other dishes that are inedible. This is my biggest weakness."

Xiaoqing scratched his head and said.

"Actually, I can also help with other dishes, but I'm afraid of fire. If an open flame is used, my mother can only do it for me."

"I heard that Xiaoqing's mother is Ms. Lanlian! But your mother is not with you now, and why are you afraid of fire? And I think you also seem to be afraid of fire-type Pokémon. This is……"

Xiaozhi saw Xiaoqing's difficulty and took the initiative to say.

"Because when Xiaoqing was young, she accompanied her mother to work and was frightened by a fire Pokémon, so now she is afraid of fire and the weakness of fire Pokémon."

Piper said understandingly.

"So that's it. I'm not afraid of fire. Then if we have the opportunity, we can cook other dishes together."

"Okay, it's a deal."

Xiaozhi said it didn't matter.

"Whether it's Paipa's sandwich or other dishes made by Xiaoqing, I like to eat them all."

Xiaoqing said with her hands on her hips.

"Xiao Zhi, don't just eat, you also have to help."

"Ah this..."

At this point, the three of them burst into laughter.

While they were talking, the remaining sandwiches and Pokémon food on the table were left unattended. A black, ball-shaped Pokémon jumped up to the table, snorting from its nose and facing it. The leftovers on the table were eaten like a gust of wind.

Pikachu was the first to notice this dirty uninvited guest, and jumped on the table to confront it, with sparks of electricity flashing on both sides of his cheeks.

"Pika Pika..."

Facing the harsh scolding Pikachu, the other party still went his own way, gobbling up his food without paying attention to Pikachu, and pushed him off the table.

Finally, Xiaozhi and the others also noticed the noise at the dining table nearby. They heard the noise and saw Pikachu falling to the ground, and said worriedly.

"Pikachu, are you okay? This Pokémon is..."

Piper said, recognizing the Pokémon immediately.

"Isn't this because I love eating dolphins?"

"Love to eat dolphin is..."

Xiaozhi was muttering as he took out his cell phone Rotom to check.

"Porpoise, a pig Pokémon, is a general type. It looks like a pig and is black overall, but its face is brown. It has a pink nose and yellow wavy lower eyelashes. Its four The hooves are also pink.

The dolphin may seem fat at first glance, but it will run around looking for food all day long. So it's actually a strong man with almost all muscles. It obviously has an excellent sense of smell, but it is only used to find food. Using its proud nose, it can always accurately find fragrant weeds and fragrant fruits, and only eats carefully selected food. This gives it a vanilla-like smell that bug Pokémon hate..."

When Xiaozhi learned who the visitor was, he put back his cell phone Rotom and said happily.

"So your name is Dolphin Lover. Nice to meet you."

The dolphin lover still ignored them and continued to eat the remaining food.

Xiao Qing said worriedly from the side.

"It looks like it's been hungry for a long time. It's still dirty all over. I don't know if it's a trained Pokémon or a wild Pokémon."

Xiaozhi immediately became interested, took out the Poke Ball and said.

"Just let me test it, I want to catch it..."

At this moment, a strange man's figure emerged from the grass and shouted.

"Ai Chi Dou, where have you been? Ai Chi Dou...oh! Ai Chi Dou, so you are here, let me find you easily..."

The other party took a closer look and saw the dolphin enjoying its feast, and shouted.

"Well, you are a dolphin lover. I was wondering why you ran away quietly. It turns out that your nose smelled such delicious food. Thank you for kindly inviting my dolphin lover to eat. Then I’m not polite either.”

After the man finished speaking, he followed the dolphin eaters and started eating wildly. Xiaozhi and the others were confused. Seeing how this man and his Pokémon were gobbling up their Pokémon, they did not dare to step forward to stop them.

I saw that this man was just like his favorite dolphin, his whole body was still dirty, and he didn’t know how long he had been hungry. Although the man was dressed like a refugee, the travel bag he was carrying on his back was huge. Surprisingly, it was also covered with jingling items, including flowers, plants, bottles and cans. The richness of the backpack formed a sharp contrast with his simple clothes.

Xiaozhi stepped forward and asked.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The other person's mouth was full of food and he replied in a slurred manner.

"Please, please wait for me, wait until I've eaten and drank enough... Ai Chi Dou and I are traveling from one meal to the next. I don't even remember when we had our last meal."

"Okay, okay, you guys eat slowly."

"This sandwich is so delicious, even the leftover trimmings are so delicious. The chef who made this is really a genius..."

When Piper heard the words of praise for herself, she replied in embarrassment.

"You're welcome, these things are cold. I'm making new food for you to eat."

While talking, the other party and the gluttonous dolphin had finished eating the remaining food, and burped with their mouths full of grease.

"Thank you for the hospitality, you kind people! My name is Naz, and this is my partner Dolphin. I am a drop collector and exchanger affiliated with the alliance. Hello."

Ash and the others also introduced themselves to their new friend Natsu, and then Ash asked curiously.

"Excuse me, who is the drop collector and exchanger?"

Natsu said with a confused look on his face.

"Don't you know our profession? It seems like you are a foreigner."

"That's right, I'm from Zhenxin Town in the Kanto region. I really don't know what kind of profession this is. Have you heard of it, Xiaoqing?"

Xiaozhi turned around and asked Xiaoqing who was beside him. Xiaoqing said awkwardly.

"I've heard of it, but I don't remember it being that name. I don't know exactly what it is."

At this time, Pipa came out and explained.

"I know that the alliance's drop exchange offices are located near various Pokémon centers. Whether they are in towns or outdoors, there will always be a person carrying a huge travel backpack. The purpose is to exchange them in In the Padia area, whether it is through ordinary Pokémon battles; or after catching wild Pokémon, you will get some drops from the Pokémon family; or in outdoor places where wild Pokémon pass by, good luck Sometimes you will also get fresh drops. Collect the same type of items, and after reaching a certain number, you can exchange them with these staff for items or alliance payment points, which are LP points."

"LP points...why is this name so strangely familiar?"

Xiaozhi was talking to himself.

"Oh, I remembered it. When I left Table City that day, the owner of the snack bar mentioned this. I also bought it with the LP points at that time. It turns out that I can still exchange it this way."

Natsu nodded and replied.

"What everyone said is correct, but I have a special reason. Maybe I have more freedom compared to other staff members. For example, in addition to helping passers-by exchange points, I also I collect them myself and use them as my own collection. If others need them, I can also barter them for other dropped items.”

Hearing this, Xiaozhi was still confused, so Natsu took out his collection for Xiaozhi and the others to enjoy.

Opening the large, rich travel backpack, all kinds of things were neatly placed on the ground, such as the hair of Pichu, the leaves of shuttlecock grass, Darubi's teeth, and the bead spider's teeth. "Wait a minute," Natsu continued.

"These are various Pokémon drops that the Alliance is willing to collect, which will be more conducive to their research into the past and future research of Pokémon."

Xiaozhi became enlightened this time.

"It turns out that's what it is. It's a really smart approach. In this way, the collection has changed from a collection by alliance scientific researchers to a common collection by all the people in the region."

"Yes, that's why the alliance invented the alliance payment point, LP point replacement, and used this clumsy method to make up for the lack of communication affected by the magnetic field in the area."

"The value of replacement dropped items is also related to the value of the dropped items."

Natsu looked around carefully before speaking in a low voice.

"I'll give you an inside tip. Collect these dropped items, including coins from Suo Cai Ling, fragments from the Bronze Mirror Monster, and fragments from Lai Sad Tea. You can exchange them for some pretty good stuff."

Xiaozhi looked at the dolphin who was eating and drinking and sleeping contentedly beside him. He was not interested in the inside information Natsu said and asked curiously.

"Your Dolphin looks pretty strong. Even my Pikachu was pushed away by him..."

Natsu curled his lips at Dolphin and said.

"It's so awesome. This guy can't help at all. I originally wanted to use its sensitive sense of smell to find dropped objects. Who knew that every time it responded to things, it was based on its own preferences. There are many The sweetness on the back of the honey dragon, the delicious pliers dropped by the hairy crab, etc. are all things it is interested in. But by the time I found them, they had already entered its belly, causing us to often travel long distances. I trudged away and came back empty-handed... Look, after eating and drinking enough, I look like this lazily again."

After Natsu finished complaining about his love for eating dolphin, Ash embarrassedly continued the conversation he had just had.

"Natsu, what I want to say is, if possible, I would like to have a Pokémon battle with your porpoise. Do you think that's okay?"

Xiao Qing slapped her forehead and shook her head. Pipa, who was standing by, saw Xiao Qing reacting like this and asked in confusion.

"Xiaoqing, why are you doing this?"

Xiaoqing, on the other hand, was weak and said helplessly.

"Ash, his old habit of being keen on Pokémon battles has happened again."

Only then did Pipa understand Xiaoqing's reaction. After all, they were in the same college. Xiaozhi often had battles with people in the college, whether they were students, teachers, or even people from Team Rocket and Team Skystar. He persuaded Xiaozhi who was already gearing up and eager to give it a try.

"Xiao Zhi, it's so rude to suddenly ask others like this."

Natsu waved his hand and replied.

"It's okay, Pipa. After all, eaters are soft-mouthed and takers are short-handed. Eater and I have eaten so much of your food and received such a favor from you, so I will agree to Xiaozhi's request for a Pokémon battle. Bar."

Natsu said as he patted the sleeping Ai Chi Dou awake with one hand. Ai Chi Dou immediately shook his body after eating and sleeping, and hummed energetically.

Xiaozhi jumped up happily and shouted.

"Great!"

Pipa couldn't resist the two people who had reached a consensus on the battle, so she had no choice but to step forward and speak.

"There is no other way, just let me be the referee..."

In Paipa's pre-fight declaration, the two sides distanced themselves from each other.

"The two parties are Xiaozhi and Natsu. A 1V1 Pokémon battle will take place here. If one of the Pokémon on both sides loses the ability to fight, it will be regarded as the loser, and if it loses the ability to fight, it will be regarded as the winner... The battle begins. .”

According to the agreement, Natsu sent out the dolphin who was full of fighting spirit.

Xiao Qing shouted from the side.

"Ash, I'm afraid he sent out Pikachu again."

Xiaozhi answered confidently.

"Don't underestimate me too much. I now have more than just Pikachu. I also have many new companions... Come on, Fire Crocodile."

However, after eating, the fire crocodile sat there blankly, and when he heard Xiaozhi calling him, he turned his head and looked here.

"Ah, it's actually the Fire Crocodile. Although it's very cute, I still..."

Xiao Qing, who was afraid of fire Pokémon, couldn't help but shudder.

"That's right, Fire Crocodile, I haven't used you to fight yet. Let me see your strength."

The fire crocodile looked unaware and came to the battlefield innocently. Natsu ordered as he launched the first attack.

"Love eating dolphins and using mud shots."

A mud attack came towards the Fire Crocodile, and Ash reacted immediately.

"Get out of the way, Fire Crocodile."

Unexpectedly, the fire crocodile, which had not yet entered the state, was suddenly attacked by mud, hit on the head, and let out a wailing sound.

Ash shouted worriedly.

"Dark Crocodile!"

Natsu took advantage of the victory and pursued.

"Good opportunity! I like to eat dolphins and use headbutts."

In a self-defeating situation, Fire Crocodile, who was attacked by Mud Shot, entered a battle mode instead, Xiaozhi said with satisfaction.

"Very well, Fire Crocodile, use sparks on the charging Dorothy."

The fire crocodile obeyed the command, strode deeply, puffed out its belly, and the fire flashed in its mouth, a flame ready to go out. At the moment when the two sides were about to come into contact, the Fire Crocodile opened his mouth and spit out, but no sparks came out.

"what!"

Everyone present was shocked. In the next second, Dolphin-eating's headbutt attack landed firmly on the Fire Crocodile. It bounced several meters and the Fire Crocodile finally fell to the ground.

"At the end of the game, Fire Crocodile loses the ability to fight, Dolphin Eater wins. The winner of this game is Natsu."

Xiaozhi couldn't believe what was happening in front of him. He wanted to test the strength of the Fire Crocodile. He thought about the possible defeat, but he never thought that he would be defeated because he couldn't use fire skills.

Pipa patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder and comforted him.

"It's okay, Xiaozhi. It seems that Fire Crocodile rarely appears in Pokémon battles, so he doesn't know how to use fire-type tricks properly."

Koichi replied.

"Yes, I will cultivate this stupid fire crocodile so that it can use fire skills proficiently."

Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and expressed.

"Isn't it great if you don't know how to use fire skills? There are other skills you can use!"

Xiaozhi said without being curious due to Xiaoqing's words.

"Xiaoqing, you..."

After getting up, Fire Crocodile sat there with a disappointed look on his face, while Xiaozhi stepped forward to comfort him.

"It's okay, Fire Crocodile, let's take our time and work hard together."

Looking at Xiaozhi who was encouraging him and Pikachu who was cheering him on, Fire Crocodile immediately returned to his usual smiling face, jumped on Xiaozhi's shoulders, and nibbled Xiaozhi's head.

Seeing such a heartwarming scene, Natsu also came to see the Fire Crocodile's injuries.

"Xiao Zhi, is Fire Crocodile okay?"

"It's okay, Natsu, thank you. It was a good match. I hope we can play against each other again next time."

"Of course Xiaozhi, that's it."

Finally, after the two sides exchanged greetings, Natsu and Aichi Dolphin continued their exchange and collection journey, and Xiaozhi also headed towards the Yuanmo City.
