Pokémon: I, Xiaozhi, return to the beginning

"Look, isn't that in front..."

After walking a certain distance in the mine, Xiao Gang, who was walking in the front, pointed to a figure lying on the ground in front of him and said so.

"It seems... is it really Mr. Hyota?"

Seeing this, Xiaozhi also stepped forward, squinted his eyes for a while, and then answered with a certainty and uncertainty.

It's no wonder that Xiaozhi and Xiaogang didn't dare to recognize Piaotai for a while, but his current state is really a bit too sloppy.His clothes and body were covered with dust, and he was lying on the ground without any energy. Although he didn't faint, his eyes were just staring at the sky, let alone the owner of the gymnasium. The current appearance is almost no different from that of a tramp. If there is one, I am afraid that the clothes he is wearing are more complete.

"Why... What happened to Heijin City..."

Lying on the ground, Piaotai didn't notice the arrival of Xiaozhi and others at all, he just kept mumbling something in his mouth, it always gave people a weird feeling in this deep underground, until Xiaozhi yelled After saying his name, Piaotai finally came back to his senses in a burst of trembling.

"Ah?! What, what? You are..."

After finding someone standing next to him, Mrs. Piao also wanted to save himself as much face as possible. He quickly got up and patted the dust off his clothes, and asked Xiao Zhi and the others.

"My name is Xiaozhi, and I'm here to challenge the Gym. In addition, we just received an entrustment from Miss Joey at the Pokémon Center to tell you a message."

"Pick, challenger... Sorry, if it's a gym challenge, it can't be done now, because the black gold city is just like what you see... Wait? You said Miss Joey has something to inform me? "

Mrs. Piao didn't realize anything until halfway through her words, so she hurriedly asked. He seemed to think that Ms. Joy had got some good news. After all, other than him, other researchers were still in various positions in the mine. Looking for abnormal places, if there is any good news that is not coming from the researchers, it must be coming from the outside.

Unfortunately--

"Well, actually..."

Xiaozhi told Piaotai all the strange situations they encountered in the mountains, and Piaotai also realized the problem after hearing about it.

"All the Pokémon in the mountains disappeared?"

This is something he never thought of. After all, after such a big sandstorm in Heijin City, he instinctively thought of the situation in the cave. the outside environment.

But now it seems that the situation is not as simple as I thought, otherwise there would not be so many professional researchers who went deep into the mine for two days and couldn't figure out why.

"I see... I will go to the mountain to confirm the situation! I really appreciate the information you provided, that's it! I will return to the gym immediately after the matter is resolved!"

After Piaotai finished speaking, he ran towards the depths of the mine without even giving Xiaozhi and others a chance to continue chatting. It seemed that he was going to inform the people inside to go back, right?But how long will this situation last?Xiaozhi and the others don't have a clue either... You can't say that you will stay in Heijin City for a week, or even a month, right?

......

Putting on the mask again, Xiaozhi and the others strolled on the dusty street. It has only been about an hour, and it feels like the dust is bigger now than it was at the beginning.

"What should we do now? Should we continue to stay in Heijin City?"

Xiaoguang shouted so loudly through the mask and the wind and sand, for fear that the other two would not be able to hear her voice clearly.

"Then what else can I do..." In fact, Xiaozhi himself was a little at a loss for the current situation. "Anyway, wait another day, if there is no news, we can only go to the next city first!"

Although skipping the gymnasium in a city and not hitting Xiao Zhi, I always feel uncomfortable with thousands of ants crawling on him, but there is no way to do it. After all, Xiaoguang still has to participate in the gorgeous competition. If you wait too long, you will definitely miss the gorgeous competitions held in many places, right?Compared with a gymnasium competition, it must be Xiaoguang's gorgeous competition is more important.

"There's no way, it's the only way to go. After all, isn't the reason right now still unclear...huh?"

As Xiaogang said this, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed in his tone. Following Xiaogang's gaze, he saw a figure walking towards them slowly across the street full of flying sand, and when the other party saw them, , that person also seemed surprised.

Everyone is wearing masks, although they can't see each other's faces clearly, but with the clothes and the indifferent temperament on the other side, Xiaozhi and others can recognize each other even if they don't speak.

"Shinji?" Xiaozhi stepped forward and said, "Are you also here to challenge the Black Gold Gym? If that's the case..."

"..."

Shinji was silent and did not speak, but silently took out the badge box from his pocket, opened it and showed Xiaozhi a look, the badge of the black gold gymnasium lay on it impressively.

"..." Xiaozhi scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "So you are..."

"Go to Yuanzhi City, the wind and sand in the north is bigger than here, it's impossible to get through."

"The wind and sand in the north is worse than here...? Hey! Wait!"

Xiaozhi originally wanted to ask Shinji more about the situation, but maybe Shinji didn't want to stay longer in such an environment, so he turned around and left before Xiaozhi continued to ask, obviously planning to find another way Let's make a city next.

"Shinji said...the wind and sand in the north is bigger than here?"

Looking back, Xiaozhi and the others seemed to feel that there were some problems. Why is the wind and sand in the north bigger than here?It stands to reason that the bigger the wind and sand, the closer to the source of the dust. If it is really inferred according to this logic, maybe...

"Go and see."

Xiaozhi took the lead in expressing the feelings of the other two.

Rather than sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to investigate. Although it seems that the best choice in this situation is to tell Piaotai the news and let him, the owner of the black gold gymnasium, solve this problem, but right now, after all, they have It's just a guess, if it's wrong, wouldn't it be a waste of Piaotai's time?
