Pokémon Padea Adventure: The Journey Continues

Chapter 33 The lost salt stone treasure discovered the secret seasoning



On Xiaozhi's and his party's way to Shenbo Town, a small dispute attracted their attention.

"Naughty Yan Shibao, don't do this kind of prank, the long-winged gull uses a water gun."

"That's right, it's so abominable, the sunflower monster uses a seed machine gun."

"Gulu, Gulu..."

Salt Shibao, who was attacked by the move, groaned in pain. Upon seeing this, Xiaozhi and others hurried over and stood in front of two passerby trainers' Pokémon.

"Stop, what are you doing! Why are you attacking this Pokémon?"

I saw the two passerby trainers saying.

"Look at it, it's here to do the damage."

Xiaozhi and the others looked at the Salt Stone Treasure and saw that it dug a big pit on the flat mountain road, and he was nestled in the middle of the pit, surrounded by salt particles secreted by himself. It made itself and the road completely white.

"The salt particles splashed everywhere destroyed the surrounding vegetation, and accidentally injured the people and Pokémon passing by. The salt particles were stained and injured. We tried our best to persuade it, but it still ignored it, so we decided to give it This lesson!”

Pipa said eagerly at this moment.

"No, look at the traces of salt on the ground. This salt stone treasure is very weak now."

Only then, under Pipa's reminder, did everyone see traces of moist and caked salt oozing out from under Yan Shibao's body, and noticed the dark brown soil surface and square white salt blocks on its body. There are also cases where the parts of the body that get wet turn dark.

"Salt stone treasure is..."

Ash said as he took out his cell phone Rotom.

"Salt Stone, a rock salt Pokémon, is of the rock type. Salt Stone was born in the rock salt layer underground, and its body will produce salt at any time to replenish it. It is willing to share the precious salt, so it was very valued in the past, and its body will It’s subject to ground wear, so just walking over it leaves a trail of salt.”

"Pipa, what happened to this salt stone treasure?"

"The salt stone treasure should live in dry places such as rock walls, Gobi, caves, and deserts in the Padia region. Now it appears here in the grassland, and its body is still so weak. I think it must have gotten lost somewhere. Just came here.”

"Also, it produces salt from its body to replenish itself, which also supports my suspicion that it is saving itself, drying its body as much as possible to maintain vitality, and at the same time, it is digging into the ground to absorb The salt in the ground. But this is not a dry place like the Gobi desert. If the salt stone jewel continues to be worn in this place, it will be very detrimental to its life."

"Leave the matter of Salt Stone Treasure to me, you don't have to worry about it."

Two passerby trainers said.

"So that's the case. Then we blamed it wrongly. Please resolve this matter."

After saying that, they took their Pokémon and left. Piper also provided timely rescue based on the items he had on hand.

First, he took out a large-diameter deep pot and spread a thick layer of edible salt on the bottom. Then he picked up the salt stone and gently placed it in the pot. Finally, he added the remaining edible salt. Spread evenly over its body.

"Well, I guess that'll do. It's a much more comfortable environment than the damp, caked-on salt it sits in."

Then Xiaozhi and the others smoothed the potholes on the ground, and then walked in the direction where Salt Stone Treasure was lost.

Xiaoqing looked at the cell phone Rotom in his hand and said.

"After passing this winding mountain road, ahead is the rock wall area of ​​the South Third District. I think Yan Shibao came from that place."

Slowly walking uphill, the open scenery in front of them immediately caught Xiaozhi's eyes. The endless rock wall landscape was lifeless, but it showed people a different majesty and magnificence of nature. As a result, they stopped where they were and never left for a long time. Xiaoqing also did not forget to take a few photos of this magnificent scenery for submission to the photography competition.

Xiaozhi and the others went deep into the hinterland of the rock wall and stopped at a dry place.

"I think this place should be fine."

With that said, Pipa stopped walking, took out the Salt Stone Treasure from the pot, and gently placed it in a cool place on the desert floor. At this time, the Salt Stone Treasure was so comfortable that he fell asleep.

"Hey, what is this?"

Pipa found a pink plant leaf stuck in the gap on Yan Shibao's head. He gently picked it off and looked at it carefully, then put it to his nose and smelled it. It was indeed a spice leaf that he had never seen before. Such a significant discovery. Pipa immediately became excited and said.

"Xiao Zhi, Xiao Qing, I think we have come to the place where the first secret seasoning is hidden. We have to stay here for a while and find out its whereabouts."

Xiaozhi said curiously.

"Why do you see it? Why are you so sure?"

Piper handed the leaves of the spice plant he found into Ash's hands.

"This is?"

Xiao Qing also came over and smelled it.

"Wow! It smells so delicious. This sweetness is something I have never smelled before. It is a sweetness that I have never smelled before in all the desserts in the Paisley Mousse store."

"I see, it turns out that this is the taste of the secret seasoning, and it is also one of the spices that can detoxify the toxins in Milton's body."

"That's right, so we must look carefully for this place. It should be not far away."

Xiao Qing said doubtfully.

"But how are we going to find it?"

Piper thought for a moment and said.

"Actually, there are records in the "Book of Zhu" and "Book of Purple" left by my parents. Although these two books are currently being studied by Teacher Leihe, the information about secret seasonings recorded in them has always been profound. In my head.”

"The content recorded above is: 200 years ago, the Area Zero expedition team discovered a wonderful plant in Area Zero, called the secret seasoning. They planted this unique plant in Area Zero throughout Padia. , but the number of adult plants is too small, and only a handful of plants survive. The surrounding wild Pokémon will become extremely huge after eating the secret seasoning that has not fully grown, and are responsible for protecting these secret seasonings. It has the important responsibility of seasoning and is known as the Treasure Master Pokémon.”

"That is to say..."

Xiaozhi also said excitedly.

"In other words, there will be a certain type of Pokémon that is larger than other Pokémon of the same species. That is really interesting. The Pokémon that does this kind of thing, isn't it? Is it similar to the Overlord Pokémon in the Alola region?”

Although Pipa and Xiaoqing didn't understand the second half of Xiaozhi's words, they understood the meaning of the first half. Xiaoqing said worriedly.

"If this kind of Pokémon really exists, how can we defeat it?"

Xiaozhi said still emotionally.

"Don't think too much, Xiaoqing. If such a behemoth really exists, I can't wait to have a good fight with it."

"Xiao Zhi, your old Pokémon battle madness is showing again."

Pipa comforted Xiaoqing and said.

"It doesn't matter. This is just a record in an ancient book. There is no evidence. Even if it exists, Xiaozhi and I will protect you."

With that said, Xiaozhi and the others explored deeper, leaving behind only Salt Stone Treasure who was still slowly regaining his energy and sleeping soundly in a comfortable environment.

"Hey, Pokémon Master, where are you? Come out quickly..."

"Pika Pika..."

Xiaoqing said speechlessly.

"Xiao Zhi! What we are looking for is a secret seasoning. No one can prove the existence of the Pokémon owner. No matter how you call it, it won't come out. It's better to lower your head and look for the spice plants."

Xiaozhi said a little helplessly.

"I can't help it, it's too boring. Let alone the treasure master Pokémon, there are only some gophers and small charcoal figures here, and there is no giant Pokémon at all."

Pipa said as he assessed everyone.

"Don't give up, everyone. Spice plants like secret seasoning should be hiding in some inconspicuous places, maybe growing in the crevices of rocks. Let's look for them."

Just when Xiaozhi and the others were searching seriously, a pedestrian hurried back not far away, still talking incoherently.

"Help, help..., ok, what a big crab Pokémon!"

They rolled and crawled to Xiaozhi and the others, Xiaozhi said excitedly.

"What! Such a big Pokémon? How big is it and where is it?"

At this time, the shocked passers-by could no longer hear Xiaozhi and the others' questions. They just pointed at the road they came from and continued running away without stopping. Xiaozhi immediately became interested and said hello.

"Pikachu, let's go take a look."

With that said, Xiaozhi and Pikachu left first.

"Xiao Zhi, don't act rashly..."

Pipa was worried that the words of warning had not reached Xiaozhi's ears, and they had disappeared without a trace. Pipa turned to Xiaoqing again and said.

"There's nothing we can do, Xiaoqing, let's follow him and take a look."

"Do you really want this! I don't want it..."

With that said, Pipa and Xiaoqing followed one after another.

Xiaozhi came to the place where the passerby pointed, and looked around, but still did not find the shadow of the giant creature. Suddenly, Pikachu made a discovery, jumped in front of Xiaozhi, and entered battle mode.

"Pickup!"

Xiaozhi also looked in the direction of Pikachu's alert, and saw an orange Pokémon walking out sideways.

Xiaozhi shouted.

"You are the treasure master Pokémon, please hand over the secret seasoning you are guarding."

The other party also noticed the clamor of Xiaozhi and the others, and turned around, waving the pliers at them. Xiaozhi took out his cell phone Rotom to inquire.

"The Hairy Crab, an ambush Pokémon, rock-type. The Hairy Crab lives on a steep cliff. It can rotate its protruding eyeballs like a bone and look around without leaving any blind spots. In order to attack the prey directly above, It always stands upside down and sticks to the cliff, but it cannot wait for too long because it will cause blood to flow to the head and cause dizziness. Its pincers have a strong clamping force, and even if they fall off during the battle, they will remain there for a while. Later it grew back, and its tongs were considered a prized ingredient in some parts of the Padian region.”

As soon as Xiaozhi put down his cell phone Rotom, the hairy crab was so angry that he was disturbed by Xiaozhi and ran over here. Xiaozhi said immediately.

"Want to fight? Come on, Pikachu uses Steel Tail."

Pikachu's attack hit in one hit.

"Ku Ke, Ku Ke..."

The hairy crab that was hit by Pikachu fled from here in pain. His unexpected escape reaction left Xiaozhi and Pikachu stunned in situ.

"What? It ran away now. This Pokémon is too weak... Also, it doesn't seem to be big. It's about the same size as my Giant Crab."

Just when Xiaozhi was confused, Pipa and Xiaoqing arrived late.

"Xiao Zhi, what's wrong! Was there a fierce battle here just now? Where is the treasure master Pokémon?"

After Xiaozhi saw it clearly, he pointed at the back of the figure who had just fought against the hairy crab and escaped. Pipa looked at it and explained.

"This is just a normal-sized hairy cliff crab, not the treasure lord size."

"Oh, really! No wonder I think Pikachu fights easily."

Xiaozhi looked around again and found that there were other individuals nearby that were similar in size to the hairy crab that he had just fought. His glance swept over the faces of Xiaoqing and Pipa, and saw the expressions on their faces. His face was pale, his mouth was open but no sound came out, beads of sweat seemed to be rolling down his forehead, and his pupils were shrinking. Xiaozhi didn't notice anything strange behind him for a while, and asked them doubtfully.

"Xiaoqing, Pipa, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoqing did not recover from facing the strange situation, while Pipa slowly raised his arm and pointed in the direction behind Xiaozhi.

"Point to me! What's wrong with pointing to me? Is there anything dirty on me?"

Pipa raised her hand pointing behind Xiaozhi, but Xiaozhi mistakenly thought it was pointing at herself. She quickly looked at herself for anything unusual, and even discovered that even Pikachu had entered an abnormal and tense state. status.

Suddenly, behind Xiaozhi, there came one after another huge, dull sounds that could only be heard when something hard hits the mountain, and the shaking of the earth accompanying these sounds was also firmly transmitted to Xiaozhi and the others. feet. Even the slow Xiaozhi, who had not reacted to this sudden abnormality at first, had to notice it and slowly turned his head away...

I saw an equally huge Pokémon attached to a towering and huge rock wall behind me, which was the Pokémon's main Pokémon, Hairy Crab. At this time, it was walking along the side of the mountain step by step from the back of the mountain to the front of the mountain facing Xiaozhi and the others. It turns out that the loud sound that hit the mountain just now was the sound made by the hairy cliff crab's six crab legs grabbing the mountain when it was climbing.

At this time, the size of the Treasure Master Hairy Cliff Crab in front of Xiaozhi and the others was no longer comparable to that of the normal-sized individual just now. Against the backdrop of the huge size, even the majestic and steep rock walls seemed smaller in proportion. Dissonance. It's as easy as the Treasure Master Hairy Crab can travel around the mountain with just a few steps.

Xiaozhi and the others couldn't help but spend time worrying and thinking. The pair of big protruding eyes of the Treasure Master Maoya Crab had been looking in the direction of Xiaozhi and the others.

Xiaoqing suppressed a trembling voice and said.

"Why, I feel like that Treasure Master Hairy Cliff Crab seems to be focusing on us. Is it my imagination?"

Piper also tried his best to calm down and said.

"Xiao Zhi, look, next to the Treasure Master Hairy Cliff Crab, is there an individual of normal size? There are traces of a crack on the crab shell above its head when it was hit."

Looking in the direction that Pipa reminded, it was indeed as he said, there was such a crab next to the treasure master.

"This, this shouldn't be the one hit by Pikachu with its steel tail, right?"

At this time, everyone was also enlightened and understood why the treasure master Maoya Crab suddenly appeared and looked at Xiaozhi and others with eager eyes. It turns out that the kind of individual accidentally injured by Pikachu tipped off the boss among them to seek shelter.

Xiaoqing accused Xiaozhi worriedly.

"Xiao Zhi, look at it! I told you not to run over and start another dispute."

I saw Xiaozhi trembling and becoming more and more excited.

"This, this is the type of treasure I'm looking forward to. Let's fight. It's exactly what I want."

Xiaozhi and Pikachu had already opened their stance, Xiaoqing and Pipa were hiding behind Xiaozhi, and the treasure master Hairya Crab just roared "" at them.

"Kuke!"

The battle with the Pokémon Master is about to begin.
