He knows Pokémon better than me.

Seeing that the Digger Rabbit seemed to have fallen into the jungle in the distance, Xiaozhi could only look away helplessly.

"Forget it, maybe we'll see each other again if we have a chance~"

This kind of wild Pokémon is not like the ones in the Pokémon Nest, which will disappear after you defeat them.
Maybe in a few days, I’ll be able to see it again at my doorstep.

Back at the watchtower castle, Farfetch'd was still walking with his head held high at the gate, dragging his long onion.

The guard level is lv.2, which can intimidate even the higher-level digging rabbit and prevent it from approaching easily.

"Gah!"

After seeing Xiaozhi's return, Farfetch'd picked up the onion and shouted excitedly, just like a medieval castle knight.

After having no presence in the backyard for such a long time, the Farfetch'd Ducky is now going to make up for it.

"Thank you for your hard work~"

Xiaozhi rubbed Farfetch'd's head and thought it was a good decision to bring this guy here!
Just push the door open and go in, the scene inside is still very primitive——

The dilapidated stone house with its roof blown off and weeds growing wildly here and there, with large tracts of yellow earth exposed in the open space, looks messy and desolate.
"As expected, farming and grazing are secondary. The key is to complete the construction as much as possible!"

At the very least, there must be a table and chairs, otherwise when friends come over there will be nowhere to sit!

However, it is too difficult to rely on the construction and manual work of the Giant Claw Crab level 1.

So Xiaozhi called Uncle Pierre, whom he had just met, for help.

"Oh, no problem~! I have some simple wooden furniture here, I can give it to you, but I suggest you DIY it yourself, Xiaozhi. You can find furniture blueprints online. Gather enough raw materials, and use the lv.2 'Handicraft' Pokémon to easily build it."

Uncle Pierre said enthusiastically.

Xiaozhi looked around and there were currently no level 2 manual Pokémon, so he could only make do with this for now.

But he never gets anything for free, so he agreed with Pierre to exchange some experience candies for it.

It just so happens that I got a lot of experience candies from Xiaomao in the previous Baby Cup competition.

Xiaozhi doesn't plan to use this kind of props on low-level Pokémon, as he feels that it is a bit of a waste of time.

For high-level ones like Pikachu, eating them as candy beans will not provide any improvement at all, which is a complete waste.

But experience candies are hard currency in the Galar region, especially type M and above candies, which are highly praised by local trainers.

After all, the Galar region advocates Pokémon battles, and one more level up will increase your chances of winning!
The furniture is ready, as for the surrounding walls and roofless stone houses
"The house is not okay."

Xiaozhi shook his head and decided to tear it all down and turn it into a wooden house.

The general process is to build a wooden house first, and then upgrade it to a brick and stone house when you have money and materials, right?

But in this case, a Pokémon with lv.2 building ability must help.

"Sure enough, it's the Digging Rabbit Trifold from before. Go outside and search for its location!"

Although it seems unfriendly to Magearna, but after the flower cannon just now, the digging rabbit's fiery desire should have subsided a lot, right?
Just as the Triple-Fold Rotom was about to fly out to work, it suddenly trembled and issued a warning sound.

"Beep! The World Championship player I have scheduled a match with is nearby Loto~!"

Xiaozhi was stunned, and subconsciously took Rotom to check, and found that there was indeed a light spot on the screen map, less than 500 meters away from here.

"Well, when did I make the appointment for a fight?"

"Beep! The trainer has already accepted all the challenges, so Lotor is the one who accepted them by default~!"

San Fold reminded.

Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows. After signing up that day, he seemed to have pressed "OK" and "OK" all the way for convenience.
But it was good this way. If I had to go to the challenge, I wouldn't have to go there specially. And the system seemed to only match opponents of the same rank, so it shouldn't be difficult.

The task of searching for the Digging Rabbit was put aside first. Xiaozhi flipped the screen upwards and a ranking diagram for the World Championship appeared.

It is pyramid-shaped and divided into four levels:

The top level is the master level, which has only 8 people.

Then there are 99 people at the advanced level and 999 people at the super level, and they are also divided by Poké Ball type on the left.

The fourth level is the general level, also called the Poké Ball level, which refers to all contestants ranked after 999. The picture shows that there are a total of "10406" contestants.

"The number of people has increased again. It seems that I am not the last one to sign up."

"10213" is written in the upper right corner of the screen. This is the current ranking given to Xiaozhi when he registered yesterday based on the order of priority. Unexpectedly, after only one day, nearly 200 more people registered.

The trainers in the Galar region are really hot!
"Gah!!"

After a while, the sound of Farfetch'd's protest was heard at the door, and Xiaozhi hurried out.

At this moment, a brown-haired man wearing a fiery red sports T-shirt and white shorts was standing outside. In the middle of his clothes there was a pattern of the Mecha Arena with the Burning Centipede as the design element. It was a special competition suit.

He was facing the door with the onion held by Onion Duck, and could only keep backing away with his hands raised.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm here to compete in the World Championship!!"

Xiaozhi went out and quickly stopped him:

"Come back, Farfetch'd! We're guests!"

After hearing Xiaozhi's shout, Farfetch'd put away the onion, but still looked at the man in red warily, as if he would immediately point out any inappropriate behavior.

The corner of Xiaozhi's mouth twitched. It seemed that being a guard level 2 was not always a good thing. He also had to teach Farfetch'd how to distinguish the types of visitors.

"Excuse me. I am the opponent you challenged, Xiaozhi!"

Xiaozhi quickly went up to him with a dry laugh and spoke.

"Oh, you're really fierce, Onion Duck."

The man in red waved his hand, not really caring. What concerned him more was that people could live in such a dilapidated castle?!

"My name is Xinbo, I'm a trainer in the Mecha Arena, and I'm currently ranked 6666!"

He said loudly, and it was obvious that he was a fire-attribute trainer, excited and passionate.

"Mecha Arena?"

Xiaozhi remembered that it was the gym in the neighboring Mecha City.

However, the Alliance Gyms in Galar are all very professional, and are all uniformly built to resemble sports arenas, so their names have also been uniformly changed to XX Arena.

Of course, the "gym trainer" here does not refer to the gym owner, but only the trainees in the gym.

The first battle after the opening is to challenge the contestant ranked 6666, very auspicious!
So they each took out their Rotom cell phones to confirm each other's identities.

Although 10213th place was a bit low, it was probably the first time he fought against another opponent. Even if he won, it would not significantly improve his ranking of 6666.

On the contrary, if Xiaozhi wins, his ranking will be improved a little bit!

"It's not a big deal. No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat~"

Xin Bo smiled secretly, his greatest pleasure was to teach the newcomers a good lesson! (End of this chapter)
