He knows Pokémon better than me.

After easily knocking Peter down, the bear doll suddenly felt bored and let go of his paw.

I usually see my mother break three thick trees in half with a bear hug, and I feel that I am still far from being able to do that.

"Ji~"

Then the doll bear climbed onto Xiaozhi's waist again and continued to hold him like a tree-hugging bear.

This time, no one dared to look down on the bear doll, and many of the miners even looked at Xiaozhi's waist.
Aren't you afraid that you will end up like this guy lying on the ground? !

Or is it that this little bear has already exerted himself, and this guy has a back of steel?
"Uh, did you do it again?"

Looking at Peter who had fainted on the ground, Xiaozhi scratched his head and showed a distressed expression.

Give it directly to Miss Junsha. I guess he will be released alive and kicking in a few days. This guy's behavior is even worse than that of the Shouting Team.

He looked at the little bronze elephant again.

"Moo~!"

The bronze elephant immediately raised its trunk and shook it to show that it was not familiar with Peter.

Xiaozhi curled his lips and looked at the rock wall that the bronze elephant had dug before. He didn't know what this guy was digging for now.

In the end, Xiaozhi was too lazy to deal with this guy and just threw him to the group of miners. These people should be able to take good care of Peter.

"Let's go, Xiaoyou."

"Oh~!"

The two entered the mine from this small hole on the side, and the bronze elephant outside waved its trunk at them in a friendly manner to say goodbye.

From a distance, Xiaozhi seemed to hear the miners' sneering laughter.
After entering Galar's Second Mine and passing through the initial path, we arrived at the main road in the mine.

This is an open area extending from south to north, and the northern exit leads to Shuizhou Town.

On the inner walls of the second mine, there are kerosene orange lamps hung every ten meters, and there are luminous stones inlaid on the walls around the cave, so there is no need to use flash magic and the vision is still clear.

The colorful glowing minerals illuminated the entire cave with a purple haze, and the ground and walls seemed to have turned into purple rocks.

The top of the cave is very high, probably about ten meters, and it seems particularly empty when you look up.

Occasionally, you can see some scattered small mine carts and short-distance tracks.

Including miscellaneous items, wooden boxes, luggage, etc. piled together, they should be some resting spots.

The wild Pokémon that inhabit the area are all cave and mountain types, such as Stoneball, Rolling Bat, and the Cowardly Bug that immediately burrows into the cracks of the rocks when it sees humans.

In addition to the main road, there are narrow paths connecting the two sides from time to time, leading to unknown places.

Keng! Keng!
However, occasionally one could hear the echo of pickaxes striking each other, and it was probably the direction of the mines where the miners were going deeper into the mines.

"Huh? Are there any more Poké Balls?"

As he was walking, Xiaozhi suddenly found a Poké Ball scattered nearby. He subconsciously wanted to bend down to pick it up, but was quickly stopped by Xiaoyou.

"Don't just pick up Poké Balls randomly in the mine!"

Xiaoyou reminded seriously.

When placed in a foreign land, trainers may have the habit of picking up Poké Balls, various props, and rummaging through trash cans in the wild.
But this is an exception in the Galar region, especially in areas such as caves and swamps.

As he spoke, Xiaoyou picked up a small stone and threw it at the Poké Ball.

Click!

As soon as the stone touched the "Poké Ball", the "trap" hidden in the soil suddenly closed, making a clanging sound of blades rubbing against each other.

If it were a normal arm, it would probably have been bitten off.

"So it's a Pokémon?" Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows. It has a flat, gray-brown body like a trap, with some green moss patterns and fins on both sides. It is somewhat similar to the mudfish in the Unova region.

"Beep! Mudfish, Galar-like, ground and steel attributes, living in mud rich in iron. It will use its conspicuous and sexy lips to attract prey to approach, and then use its serrated steel fins to clamp the prey tightly. Lotor~!"

Xiaozhi twitched the corner of his mouth, it really is a regional form.

However, the mudfish in Hezhong are not attractive. They just sit there and wait for people to come to them. Anyone who accidentally steps on it will be given a severe electric shock.

The Galar's Mudfish can also disguise itself as a Poké Ball and actively attract people!

"Crack!"

The mud fish opened its tightly closed steel fins again, glared at Xiaozhi and the other boy, then continued to bury itself in the soil, waiting for the next unlucky person.

"So if you want to mine, Xiaozhi, just choose a branch path here and dig deep into the mine~"

Xiaoyou smiled and pointed to the main road to the north, preparing to leave.

"I'm about to head to Shuizhou Town over there. I hope you can dig up the ore you want~"

"If you need anything, you can always call me~!"

Xiaozhi came to his senses and realized that the two of them had been a temporary team together and would be separated from each other soon.

"Oh, I wish you good luck in your work too!"

The two shook hands in a friendly manner, and the Tears Lizard and the Love Butler also waved to Xiaozhi. The former climbed onto Xiaoyou's shoulder and turned to walk north.

After a while, the figure disappeared around the corner of the main road.

Xiaozhi was the only one left there. He perked up, looked around for a while, and took out the Poké Ball.

boom!
The red light fell, and Meltan appeared in front of him——

Under normal circumstances, Meltan would have gone crazy if he arrived at an area rich in iron ore.

But today, Meltan didn't show any excitement. Instead, he rubbed his liquid slime belly and even burped.

I ate too much Meltan candy this morning and feel a little full.

"Now that you're full, you should start working, Meltan!"

Xiaozhi waved his hand to boost morale. The purpose of his trip was to mine.

As he spoke, he took out a copper pickaxe from his bag. Lucario had helped him make it by hand using copper ore. The quality was much better than that of stone and iron pickaxes.

Then Xiaozhi closed his eyes, and the power of the wave spread out -

In the empty Second Mine, you can feel wild Pokémon and miners working everywhere.

However, his goal was to find a special ore that could be used to construct the "Ghost Sword Barrier". According to the pattern shown to him by the Magic Wall Doll, it was an irregular dark purple stone similar to the Dark Stone.

"In that case, let's look for a waveguide similar to the Aegisblade."

Xiaozhi's wave power can only explore living organisms, not minerals.
It's not a big problem. Wild Pokémon that often live near that kind of ore will probably be infected with similar characteristics to the Ghost Sword.

After a while, Xiaozhi opened his eyes and his eyes lit up.

"It's over there! Let's go, Meltan!"

"Milu~!"

Carrying the copper pickaxe, Xiaozhi led Meltan into a narrow fork in the front and side, scaring all the timid insects along the way into hiding in the cracks of the rocks.

There was even a young sword sheath floating in the air, which immediately became invisible and penetrated the wall, disappearing into thin air! (End of this chapter)
