He knows Pokémon better than me.

Ma Shide looked at Xiaozhi and said seriously:

"Xiaozhi, I hope you can rebuild this small castle and make it return to its former glory!"

"Rebuilding the castle?"

Xiaozhi was stunned and subconsciously looked around again.

Why does it feel like he's here to be taken advantage of?

Mashide seemed to see what Xiaozhi was thinking. He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly around the edge of the wall.

"Of course, this is just a suggestion from me. After all, you are the owner of this castle now, Xiaozhi. You can arrange it however you want."

"But this place is spacious enough. Xiaozhi, you can build your own castle here as you wish, or even a farm or ranch?"

"If you feel the area is not enough, you can also knock down the wall and continue to expand outwards~"

Xiaozhi scratched his head, still confused.

How come farms and ranches are all out?

Ma Shide pointed to the empty space next to him and continued to talk to himself:

"For example, you can grow crops over there, the area near the wall over there can be a cowshed or chicken shed, and you can plant fruit trees over here."

"Buildings such as walls and watchtowers can also be restored and even replaced with luxurious villas."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Xiaozhi raised his hand, looking shocked:

"Master Ma, I'm not here to do real estate development. I still want to travel in the Galar region!"

He originally wanted to stay in this abandoned castle for only two days, wander around the wilderness and then leave; he had no intention of staying here for a long time.

Ma Shide turned his head and asked:

"Xiaozhi~ I heard that when you were in the Alola region, you settled in one place, right? To understand a region, sometimes you don't need to travel all the time."

Don't underestimate his intelligence network!

Xiaozhi's mouth twitched. He really couldn't refute this.

Just staying here all the time really makes me feel like an old black slave working!

"Then let me say something good about you, old man~"

Ma Shide coughed, and Xiaozhi realized that the other party came here today just to act as a lobbyist. He simply crossed his arms and prepared to listen carefully to see if he could convince himself.

"First of all, you know about Dynamaxing. This phenomenon not only occurs in battle arenas in cities, but also in Pokémon nests, and these nests only exist in wilderness areas."

"The types of Gigantamax Pokémon that appear in these Pokémon dens are different each time, and there are even rare Pokémon. If you live here, it will be much more convenient to explore."

"Only in the wilderness?"

This is the first time Xiaozhi has heard of this.

Before now, he had always thought it was just a Pokémon battle system, similar to mega evolutions or Z-moves.

He nodded, which was barely an excuse, but not enough.

"Run a castle ranch, you can do whatever you want, capture ranch Pokémon, plant crops and trees, and trade output."

"This doesn't mean you can't go to other places in the Galar region. To put it bluntly, it's like a base, just like your trip to Alola."

Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Your intelligence network is really wide!"

But he is a real newcomer and does not have any "farming" genes in his body.

But this experience is novel and can barely be considered the second reason.

"Then the old man will talk about the third point."

Ma Shide suddenly smiled mysteriously:

"As long as you can stay here for a month, I will give you a very special Pokémon. I won't ask you whether you want to leave after a month."

"If we classify it by type, well, it should be a legendary Pokémon!"

"And it has extraordinary potential. If trained properly, its strength can even surpass most legendary Pokémon!" Upon hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes lit up instantly.

Legendary Pokémon?!

Why didn’t you say it earlier? Why do you need 123 reasons?

"make a deal!"

Xiaozhi directly held Mashide's palm and shook it continuously.

If you stick around for a month, you can get a legendary Pokémon. Who can refuse that?!

And this month, I'm not in jail.

Although I only worked for half a day yesterday, it was great to work with my own Pokémon and in my own property.

Don’t mention it, it’s really a novel experience!

The deal was done, Ma Shide touched his white eyebrows and smiled slightly.

He really didn't want Xiaozhi to be a slave.

On the one hand, I don't want this place to be depressed forever, on the other hand, there is really a big secret in this castle.

"As for that bear apprentice, he also needs a suitable trainer partner~"

Ma Shide laughed secretly in his heart.

The negotiation was concluded, and when Xiaozhi looked around again, his thoughts changed.

It's no longer a matter of "just dealing with it for two days" and leaving, but a real desire to renovate it. Otherwise, how about tearing down the broken wall first and then expanding it by 1000 square meters?

"By the way, Xiaozhi, you can go out freely during this month. You can go to the neighboring Mechanical City or other cities to do some shopping or just hang out."

"Of course, you can also challenge the local gym trainers~"

Mashide added that he had no intention of imprisoning Xiaozhi here.

Then he gave Xiaozhi some thoughtful suggestions:

"There are some tools in that house that I used before. They should still be usable, right?"

"I've placed a shipping box outside the castle. You can put things you don't need or things produced by the castle in it. Someone will come to pick them up every three days and give you a certain reward."

"If you have nothing to do, you can go to the neighboring Mecha City or the town in the south to meet some new friends and capture new Pokémon. Of course, the surrounding wilderness is also worth exploring~!"

Xiaozhi nodded and took out the three-fold Rotom to record them one by one.

"Beep! Loto has been recorded~!"

A notification sounded from Rotom. In fact, all the castle ranch management procedures and suggestions were in its database.

"Well then, Xiaozhi, let's go first. I'm looking forward to what this castle will become in your hands next~?"

Ma Shide said with a smile, preparing to leave.

Before leaving, I glanced at the watchtower next to me. I wonder if Xiao Zhineng can rebuild the tower in a month.

boom!

Walking out of the castle, Mashide threw a Poké Ball, and a big bird covered with ink-colored armor appeared next to him, its red pupils looking very imposing.

It is roughly the same size as a Pidgeot and is a large bird.

Xiaozhi took out the illustrated book——

"Beep! Steeljaw, a flying and steel attribute, is a home bird in the Galar region. It has excellent flying ability and a high IQ. Many Steeljaws work as flying taxis in the Galar region. Loto~!"

"Is this the Galar region's home bird? It's quite impressive."

Xiaozhi nodded secretly, he seemed to have seen this Pokémon before.

"Well then, do your best, Xiaozhi~!"

Mashid climbed onto the back of Steel Armor Crow, which spread its wings and soon disappeared into the sky above the wilderness. (End of this chapter)
