He knows Pokémon better than me.

After a simple lunch, Xiaozhi opened the door and walked out. The sun was shining brightly.

This place is located on a flat lawn, surrounded by grass and groves, and there is a low hill behind it.

If you remove this shabby castle watchtower, the scenery is still quite good.

Xiaozhi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and smelled a fresh scent mixed with soil and plants.

"Chirp~?"

Beside him, Majiana blinked in confusion.

She has no olfactory system, and when she inhales and exhales, it is actually a mechanical fan inside her body that is turning.

As Xiaozhi looked around, he saw the vast plain extending into the distance, with the mountains on the edge appearing to be endless.

“Chichi~!” “Chichi~!”

When passing by a patch of grass, a few tiny birds flew by quickly. Their feathers were three colors.

The wings and back are dark blue, the face is black, and the abdomen is dark yellow.

"Beep! A chickadee, a flying bird that is common in the Galar region. Its small size allows it to fly swiftly. Loto~!"

Xiaozhi's eyes followed the movement of these small figures, secretly amazed:

"So this little bird can eventually evolve into Master Ma's majestic steel armored crow?"

What a huge change!

Not only Chipmunk, the wilderness is not short of wild Pokémon. Along the way, Xiaozhi saw many new Pokémon native to Galar.

For example, the gray squirrel squatting on a tree branch, holding a nut and chewing it, has bloated cheeks and a fluffy tail - a greedy chinchilla!

Hiding behind the rocks, looking around carefully, with a cunning reddish-brown fox, its ears and the end of its tail are black, and its four feet seem to be wearing small black boots - a cunning little fox!

There is also a young cotton flower whose body is inserted into the ground like a rhizome, with five yellow petals on the top of its head and red stipules scattered behind it like long hair. If you don't look closely, it really looks like a beautiful wild flower on the roadside.

Along the way, Xiaozhi frequently took out the illustrated book and admired it with relish.

“They are all completely new varieties that are completely different from the previous ones!”

Of course, he was not just taking a quick look, he was also secretly recording and measuring.

It is not enough for the Castle Ranch to rely on the Giant Claw Crab alone. He also needs to add some new members to contribute to the cause of rebuilding the castle!

Triple-Fold Rotom was also very considerate and introduced the overview of the wilderness area to Xiaozhi.

“Beep! There is only one wilderness area in the main Galar region, with the Mech-Qing River as the boundary. We are currently in the wilderness area south of the Mech-Qing River, Loto~!”

Other cities, large and small, are distributed on the outskirts of these wilderness areas and together form the Galar region.

Of course, I'm talking about the wilderness of Galar's main region, not the Lonely Island of Armor overseas, or the Crown Snowfields that stretches southward beyond the mountains.

These two places also have their own wilderness areas.

"And the biggest difference between the wilderness and ordinary roads is whether there are energy point nests where Gigantamax Pokémon live~!"

Seeing that Xiaozhi didn't understand, an arrow appeared on the tri-fold screen. Looking in that direction, Xiaozhi saw a pink and purple beam of light standing straight up from afar.

It is not the rays of light artificially projected into the sky in the city at night, but a natural phenomenon caused by the overflow of energy from the Pokémon nest.

If there is light, it means that there is a Gigantamax Pokémon living in the nest.

"I see.!"

Xiaozhi nodded in surprise and became interested in finding out what was going on.

But the distance was quite far, probably several kilometers, and it was still in the south which was not on his way.

"Forget it, maybe next time." Xiaozhi temporarily suppressed his curiosity. Today he just went out for a walk around the neighborhood.

He will have to stay here for at least another month, so there is plenty of time!

He turned back along the route that Mary had led, and before returning to Jiqing City, he came to the blue lake again.

This time he stopped at the shore and looked across the lake. It seemed as if there was no end in sight.

However, there seems to be a small island in the middle of the lake, probably several hundred meters away from the shore. It is shrouded in fog and only the edge can be seen.

"Mei Lu~"

Meltan jumped right off Satoshi's shoulder and started looking around for metal fragments.

The introduction of Triple-Fold Rotom was also heard:

"Beep! This is Lake Fang. It's divided into two areas, east and west, connected by a bridge in the middle. There is a Pokémon nest on the island in the lake!"

Xiaozhi quickly looked over there and seemed to vaguely see a purple light. It seemed that the energy was not full?

"Wait a minute, Yaya Lake. Does that mean that Yayas live here?!"

Xiaozhi quickly looked around. Fangy, a Unova Pokémon, is quite rare.

However, the grass on the shore was full of Pokémon like Spathiphyllum and Crab, and there was no sign of a "dragon shadow" at all.

"Beep! The name of Lake Fang comes from the shape of the lake, and has nothing to do with the type of Pokémon that live around it, Loto~!"

Trifold Rotom reminded, and a bird's-eye view of Lake Fang soon appeared on the screen.

The shape of the Yaya Lake, which is divided into two parts on the left and right, does look a bit like a dragon Pokémon with its jaws open.

The lake next door is Lake Minas, which does look a bit like a long, slender snake in outline.

"Eh, does that mean there are no Minas in Lake Minas?"

Xiaozhi's face was full of disappointment.

If there is a lake near your home, you can also see the beautiful sight of wild Mienja leaping out of the lake, which is a great enjoyment!

Isn't this a pure gimmick to trick people into coming?

However, the scenery of the two lakes themselves is quite good. Apart from the gimmick that is a bit confusing, Xiaozhi can accept everything else.

After walking half a circle along the shore of the lake, he found the stone stairs at the entrance of Jiqing City facing the center of the two lakes, so he went into the city first.

As soon as you enter Jiqing City, various red buildings fill your eyes, and the sound of steam engines rumbling can be heard in your ears, which is quite different from the wilderness outside.

"Chirp!"

However, Magearna seemed to have returned home. She blinked her pink eyes and looked around curiously, shaking her limbs from time to time to express her joy.

"I remember Magearna's hometown."

Xiaozhi remembered that the place called Azoth Kingdom seemed to be a city with steam machinery, and the style should be very similar to this place.

Although Magearna has lost her memory, her instinctive preferences will not change. It seems that she likes this kind of industrial-style city very much.

"Then let's go for a walk~"

Xiaozhi smiled and let Magearna walk around excitedly in front, while he followed behind.

He has a more important mission.

"Don't eat anything! Meltan!! You can't eat there!!"

Seeing Meltan about to pounce on a metal water pipe, Xiaozhi quickly grabbed the latter's liquid metal body to stop it. (End of this chapter)
