He knows Pokémon better than me.

At sunset, to the south of Shuizhou Town, walking further ahead is the outskirts leading directly to the mine.

"Then I'll go back to the hotel first. Anyway, thank you for accompanying me today."

Mudan said gratefully that after these two days of getting along, she had become much more familiar with Xiaozhi and could now communicate with him normally and fluently.

"Oh, it's okay. I wanted to watch the game too~"

Xiaozhi smiled and waved his hands, saying it was a reward for the bicycle exchange voucher, but he actually did nothing.

"So you're going back to the Padilla region next?"

Speaking of the Padya region, I seem to have heard of this place from someone before, and even experienced a special battle there. It's called Tai Crystalization?

It seems to be a very interesting place.

"Well, school is about to start there."

Mudan nodded. Although she was from Galar, she preferred the atmosphere of the Padia region.

There, the atmosphere of Pokémon battles is not as frenetic.

She actually felt that her uncle had pushed the Galar Pokémon battle a little too far.
"I don't know what's going on at school."

Mudan was still a little anxious because the organization she had founded in school had quietly turned into a bullying group.

It seems that they have become even worse than the Galar region's Shouting Team?

For this reason, she accepted the school's punishment plan, disbanded the organization, and suspended her classes for half a year. Now it is time to go back and take a look at the situation.

"By the way, Xiaozhi, if you come to the Padia region in the future, remember to inform me as soon as possible!"

Mudan said that Xiaozhi was a rare friend of hers outside the Padia area.

"I see. Well, I will probably go to the Padiya region to see it in the future."

Xiaozhi nodded, but it was still too early for this trip.

The two then exchanged contact information, and Xiaozhi said goodbye, heading back to the second mine alone.

"What a strange man."

Watching Xiaozhi leave, Mudan couldn't help but sigh.

From what my uncle said, he is an extremely powerful and talented trainer, but recently he seems to be building a castle and mining in the mines?

Inexplicable.

Especially since he just sent encouraging text messages to multiple girls
Mudan curled her lips and decided to think carefully about the affairs of her Tianxing team!
After finishing this trip to Shuizhou Town, Xiaozhi returned to his ordinary identity as a miner.

I get up early in the day, exercise with my little bear and Tengchui, and then mine until lunchtime.

After lunch, you can practice with other Pokémon, or look for nearby World Championship opponents to fight and improve your ranking.

However, the scope has been expanded to Shuizhou Town, which is not too far away anyway.

The next day, on the outskirts of Shuizhou Town, Xiaozhi faced an opponent ranked 4000+.

Although it wouldn't improve much even if I defeated him, at least I'd be a qualified sandbag.

"Geranium, use the Vine Whip!!"

A young man trainer with short green hair, pink bangs and a rather gorgeous outfit, shouted and launched an attack.

The three main families used are still from the Johto region.

Xiaozhi sent out a blue jay, which was a good opportunity for him to hone his understanding with the home bird.

"Blue Jay, fly!"

The blue jay immediately spread its wings and flew up, moving nimbly to avoid the vines that were strangling it.

After all, it is a Pokémon captured in a four-star nest, and this Blue Crow has excellent physical fitness.

"Use the air blade!" "We use the magic leaf!"

Then the blue crow flapped its wings in the air, and countless sharp slashes flew out through the air. The geranium on the other side was not to be outdone, and emerald green energy leaves also shot over.

Bang bang bang!
In the center of the stadium, there were sudden bursts of explosions, and smoke and dust rose up.

Xiaozhi suddenly launched a quick attack:

"Right now, peck!!"

The blue jay's wings flew into the smoke. The blue jay, which had not yet evolved into a steel-armored jay with hard and thick armor feathers, was in the second stage at this moment and was actually the fastest form.

Whoops!

The sharp bird beak accurately hits the geranium's neck, causing extraordinary damage!
Not only that, a blue jay flying by even snatched away the "miracle seeds" that Geranium was carrying.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's a foul! Isn't the pecking move only for taking away tree fruits?!"

Geranium's trainer was named Shengye, and he immediately protested to the air shot Rotom.

However, after AI judgment, the protest was ultimately rejected:
"It is reasonable and legal, please continue to fight."

Let’s not talk about whether there is any problem in pecking and taking away the “Miracle Seed”. Even if you don’t use any moves, it is completely legal to directly snatch the items carried by the opponent.

Of course, once the stealing movements become more skilled, they turn into a thief's special skill.

So strictly speaking, any move can be transformed into a thief, with the added effect of taking away the items being carried.

Hmm!

The blue jay swallowed the miracle seed in one gulp and licked its beak happily.

This scene immediately broke down Geranium's defense. The miracle seed was not only a carrying prop, but also its jewelry necklace!
Seeing that his opponent was in a state of chaos and didn't even listen to the trainer's command, Xiaozhi immediately launched a fierce attack:

"Good opportunity, Blue Jay, use the peck drill!!"

Whoosh!
The blue jay's beak instantly turned into an electric drill, spinning at high speed. It spread its wings and dived, using its sharp beak to go straight for the geranium's vital points.

"Hurry up and block it with the flower petal dance!!"

However, Geranium could not hear Shengye's command at all, and used the whip recklessly to try to catch Blue Crow, but was dodged by the latter's agile flying movements.

Finally, the peck drill hits Geranium's chest!
Outstanding effect!

The power of pecking is much stronger than pecking. With one blow, Geranium fell down and lost consciousness on the spot.

"Geranium loses the ability to fight!"

"So Xiaozhi won this match! The real-time rankings of both teams have been updated!"

Aerial Rotom said loudly, then lowered the flight altitude and pointed the camera at Xiaozhi——

Although it is legal and reasonable to seize items carried by your opponent during a battle, they must generally be returned after the battle.

Of course, disposable items such as fruits are counted separately.

If Xiaozhi fails to return the Miracle Seed, he will not be judged as a loser, but his act of theft will be recorded.

Seeing his opponent's geranium slowly waking up and lying on the ground staring at his blue crow pitifully, Xiaozhi thought of his own big chrysanthemum and couldn't help but smile.

"Give it back, Blue Jay!"

The blue jay nodded, opened its beak and swallowed with a little force, and soon spit out the miracle seed again.

"Bird Pokémon all have crop organs, so the food they eat is not swallowed directly into the stomach, but temporarily stored in the crop and can be vomited out at any time~!"

Xiaozhi explained it very clearly.

Apart from anything else, as the family bird master, he is quite knowledgeable about bird Pokémon.

For example, his Wood Owl often stores the Immutable Stone in his crop, and can use it as a "rock cannon" to eject it whenever needed! (End of this chapter)
