He knows Pokémon better than me.

“The view here is great!”

Climb up the stone bridge. The terrain here is very high and there are no obstructions on the north and south sides, so you can see an excellent view.

The south is the wilderness we came from, and the northern wilderness area is the first time Xiaozhi has seen it.

Because it is blocked by the high-lying Jiqing City, the northern area is usually invisible, unless you get to the vicinity of the Jiqing River, where you can avoid the obstruction.

Just looking at the wilderness area in the north, the environment seems not very good. There is a layer of wind and sand in the air, and if you sweep away the dust, there is still a large area of ​​desert next door.

Whoosh!

However, you can see a purple-red beam of light rising into the sky in the wind and sand.

"Is it a Pokémon nest?"

Xiaoyou stood beside and introduced:

"That's an area called the 'Dust Basin'. The wild Pokémon that inhabit there are generally of higher levels."

Therefore, those who are active in the north of the Jiqing River are all experienced Watt merchants, while she is more active in the south.

To travel to other cities, you can take a flying taxi or train directly instead of crossing the wilderness.

"I see."

Xiaozhi nodded and stayed on the stone bridge for a long time before getting back on the road. This time his destination was not the wilderness in the north, so he could only go there next time.

Zizi!

From time to time, a few cyclists would pass by quickly. They were dressed neatly, and their wheels were spinning at high speed, sparking and flashing all the way.
"Is there really lightning?"

Xiaozhi squinted his eyes and really saw the lightning flashing between the wheels.

"That's the Rotom Bicycle~"

While walking in front and leading the way, Xiaoyou explained with a smile.

Last year, the most popular leisure activity in the Galar region was playing frisbee with one's own electric dogs and call dogs.

This year, cycling is very popular.

I especially like riding on this flat and straight bridge, and it is also a good place to hatch eggs.

This is a special bicycle invented by the Marrokomon Group that can store Rotom AI. The principle is that electricity is generated and stored when humans pedal, and the current can be used to accelerate when needed, achieving a lightning-fast effect.

"The highest speed is five times faster than the Sonic Bike in the Hoenn region~!"

Of course, the current will be exhausted quickly. If you sprint to generate electricity, the power will go out after about a hundred meters, and you will have to slow down and pedal again to generate electricity.

"I heard that the Marrokomon Group has a beta version, the 2.0 Rotom Bike, which has a larger battery capacity, faster charging speed, and can automatically switch to a water riding mode when approaching water."

But I heard that the price is extremely high, which is somewhat contrary to President Roz's original slogan of "Everyone can afford a Rotom phone, and everyone can afford a Rotom bicycle."

But speaking of this, Xiaoyou couldn't help but glance at the Triple Fold Rotom in Xiaozhi's hand.

This was probably obtained through internal channels, right?

She had seen President Ross from afar before, and it seemed that the Rotom phone he was holding was also a three-fold style?

Is it possible that Xiaozhi is very familiar with President Ross?
"It's really good~!"

Xiaozhi stared at the speeding bicycles with fiery eyes.

Although riding a Lingyou horse is more handsome, and Blue Crow will also have powerful flying ability after evolving, it is not a big problem to collect one at home.

Next time when I run 10 kilometers with Tongduoxiong, it seems like I will feel more like a coach when I ride my bike myself?
Walk across the stone bridge, go down the stairs on the other side, and you will arrive at the outskirts of Jiqing City.

The land connected by the bridge gradually turned black and hard, and the vegetation became sparse.

In the distance, you can see a long series of low hills.

"That's the Galar Second Mine~" Xiaoyou pointed ahead and introduced.

Along the way, we can see many miners wearing helmets and carrying pickaxes, and their partners are mostly strength-type Pokémon——

The strong man with the wrist, the strong man with the power, and the porter and the iron-boned worker, a classic coolie combination, followed beside them pushing a cart.

After all, after going in to mine, you have to move out.

“It’s basically all manpower here, not as convenient as the First Mine in the west.”

As a Watt businessman, Xiaoyou obviously knows this very well.

A complete minecart track has been built at the First Mine, connecting almost all of the deepest parts of the mine to the outside of the mine and even to the train station, allowing for one-stop transportation by machine to every town in the Galar region.

The mine also has many large equipment, mining vehicles, etc., with a strong industrial atmosphere, and ordinary retail investors cannot enter at all.

“The second mine here is much easier, and it’s basically all free mining by individual retail investors.”

After all, one person can only dig out one cart of water at a time, which is extremely inefficient, so the management is very casual and you only need to register briefly before entering the cave.

"By the way, Xiaozhi, don't you have a cart ready?"

Arriving at a service point in front of a mine, Xiaoyou pointed to the cart rental area next to it. She remembered that Xiaozhi was also here to mine, right?
"Me? No need~"

Xiaozhi smiled and waved his hand, then glanced back at his own shadow with a smile on his face.

With Machado here, his shadow is the biggest mine cart!

And this time his target is special and precious minerals, or minerals that cannot be dug up in small mines.

So things like stones and coal that are everywhere can be discarded directly.

Just dig some iron ore and copper ore and take them with you, so there will be more than enough shadow space.

"Oh"

Xiaoyou nodded without asking any more questions. She was just a guide.

Then the two of them came to a checkpoint outside the only way to enter the mine, where they carried out a simple registration.

"Remember, you can only fill up one mine cart at a time, and one person can only go in and dig once every three days."

The male climber who was registering was lazy and didn't seem to take the rules seriously.

After simply writing down their names, the two officially entered the mining area.

You can see a large cave at the end of the road. Of course, you can also enter through other caves, but the dangers and rewards are random.

"Moo!"

Just as the two were about to enter the mine, Xiaozhi suddenly heard a low elephant roar.

Does the voice sound familiar?

Boom!
This was followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the wall, and the mountain shook slightly.

Not far to the side, there was also a noisy discussion, which seemed to be the entrance to other small caves in the second mine.

Xiaozhi and Xiaoyou looked at each other, became interested, and then walked over to watch.

However, behind several huge rocks, there was a small hole two meters wide. A curly-haired old lady was directing a bronze elephant to continuously hit the mountain.

There were five or six male miners climbing the mountain around her, shouting and trying to stop her, but the "old lady" just ignored her and paid no attention to the protests of others.

"Hmm? This old lady looks a little familiar."

Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows and quickened his pace. (End of this chapter)
