He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Is this the pressure of 1,000 kilograms? Sure enough, it's starting to get a little heavy."

Xiaozhi took a deep breath. Beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead. The simple action of raising his hand to wipe the sweat was quite challenging.

At this moment, with every step you take, the soles of your shoes will leave a clear mark on the ground.

But this is far from his limit.

Xiaozhi can still move normally, and his movement speed has hardly changed.
If it exceeds the body weight, his movement speed will be greatly reduced, and he may even become as slow as a coal turtle, unable to move in place.

But this is the limit of this small mine.

Looking back, the mine on the 20th floor had been completely cleared by them, and the cave would be empty before tomorrow.

"Tsk, we can only come back tomorrow. Now let's go home, Meltan, Machado."

Xiaozhi moved his shoulders, and there was a crisp sound between the bones, and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Today I have no choice but to go home.

Machado: “.”

It followed Xiaozhi silently the whole time, looking at Xiaozhi's back, with a little change in its eyes.

These days, Machado's focus has been on the Pokémon that Xiaozhi has captured, hoping to use the body movements and fighting skills of these Pokémon to make his "Seven-Star Soul-Taking Kick" reach perfection.

But now its mind has changed!

"Why can the only thing I can learn is Pokémon?!"

"Master Zhi, it seems that he is the one I should learn from the most!!"

As for this load-bearing capacity, let alone humans, even Pokémon's physical strength can rarely reach this level!

In fact, this is not Xiaozhi's limit!

It would be unimaginable if Xiaozhi displayed his fighting skills!

"?"

Walking in front, Xiaozhi was full of questions, and felt a little pressured by Masha's stare at him.

Why do I feel that the gaze of the dark man behind me suddenly becomes fiery?

Return along the original route to the Watchtower Castle.

With the help of Machado, Xiaozhi dumped out all the stone materials stored in his shadow and piled them in the corner.

After that, you will need to use the magic wall puppets and Lucario's manual work ability to transform it into stone bricks of standard size that can be used directly.

Xiaozhi looked around.

According to the current construction progress, he has to go to the mine every day, which will probably be able to offset the wear and tear of the building.

"It's okay. I'm not tired anyway~"

It takes less than an hour a day.

In addition to the basic rock materials, he also found some star sand, rubies and other props, and even a fire stone.

The magic wall puppet, who serves as the chief butler, organizes and classifies everything one by one.

The usable props can be temporarily stored, such as star sand, ruby ​​and other decorative gems, which can be directly placed in the shipping box outside and exchanged for rewards from Uncle Pierre.

However, Xiaozhi also dug up a crystal ball on this trip, which makes a total of two including the one stored in the storage box before.

"Oh, right, I remember this thing needs to be smashed open, right?"

Xiaozhi remembered that the illustration had introduced that the crystal ball was like a "mineral egg" and no one knew what it would be until it was smashed open.

It could be an ordinary stone that is worthless, or it could be a precious mineral or prop. But if you don’t just break it open and sell it, the purchase price will be a very ordinary price.

"In that case, let's just smash it open!" Xiaozhi also became interested and immediately took out a small hammer -

This is a basic farm tool that the Magic Wall Doll made by hand using a stone and a piece of wood according to the production drawings.

He twisted the stone hammer and hit it.

Bang!

The first crystal ball cracked, and a round gray-blue stone was embedded in the cracks.

"The Stone of Immutability? It's OK."

Xiaozhi recognized it at the first sight, at least it was not an ordinary stone.

Not a loss.

When he looked at the second crystal ball, he became excited for a rare time. Not to mention, it also gave him the thrill of opening a blind box.

Bang!

When the second hammer fell, Xiaozhi discovered that there was a copper-green stone half the size of a palm embedded inside.

There seems to be something strange wrapped between the stones. It looks like a crooked, curved shrimp?
"this is?"

Xiaozhi raised an eyebrow, he looked a little familiar.

At this time, we need to rely on the illustrations to identify it. Point the camera at the green stone and start AI recognition.
"Beep! It's a fossil fish! A fossilized fragment of a Pokémon from Galar's ancient times. It's said that it once lived in the vast ocean, Lotor~!"

Xiaozhi showed surprise:

"Sure enough, it's a Pokémon fossil!"

He had come across stones of this shape several times before, but this one had a pattern on it that he had never seen before.

Fossil fish, fossil fish.
Xiaozhi thought about all the fossil Pokémon from various regions that he had come across in the past, but it seemed that there were no Pokémon related to "fish"?

"So this is the new fossil Pokémon from the Galar region? Interesting!"

After all, in the Alola region, there were no fossil Pokémon of its own, which made Xiaozhi feel a little regretful.

It seems that I have to find time to go to the local fossil resurrection organization to see what kind of fish can be resurrected from this "fossil fish"?

"So the crystal ball can also produce fossils!"

This makes Xiaozhi more motivated for the mining work in the next few days!
Carefully put the fossils into the storage box. It seems that there are precious things in the castle that are "worth stealing".

After that, Xiaozhi went to the Mecha City and bought several pieces of Frosty Flavor cakes to feed the Pokémon.

As for Steelix's chicken legs, this is illegal.

Fortunately, we dug up some iron ore and copper ore when we went down the mine, and gave them all to Meltan.

He is not running a farm, and there is no need for the trainer to personally carry out the work with a copper axe or a golden hammer.
Just leave it all to Pokémon!

Therefore, there is no need to upgrade farm tools or the like.

During this time, Ash was also searching for a Poké Ball-level opponent in the nearby World Championships so as not to let his ranking drop.

This is also a good opportunity for Meltan and Farfetch'd to practice their combat abilities!
As for Magearna, Crab, and even the foreign aid Lucario and Bricaron
Using them to play Poké Ball-level games is somewhat bullying.

"Well, once the outer walls of the castle are built, we'll go to Mugan Town to visit Dr. Mulan."

"Then I'll try to capture one or two Galar Pokémon."

Xiaozhi made up his mind secretly. After all, the ones he was using now were all old pets he brought from home.

When night came, when all the Pokémon were tired from work, Ash took them to the mine hot spring in the back mountain, where they all soaked in the water, living a very comfortable life.

This is a completely different experience from traveling in the region! (End of this chapter)
