To the north of Feiyun City, on Route 4.
This is a longitudinal asphalt road, and construction seems to be still going on on both sides. There are rail cars of construction materials and temporary workshops everywhere. From time to time, some workers pass by Xiaozhi and his party.
However, the view on both sides of the road opens up to a vast desert.
The dry air, no shelter, and the hot sunlight made the ground very hot to step on.
sough...!
From time to time a gust of wind would blow, and the yellow sand on Route 4 would be filled with it, making it a bit confusing.
"Is this a wilderness scenic area..."
Mingyi lowered his sun hat slightly to block the sun.
"Rice wine, rice wine..."
The rice wine next to him was hanging out his tongue and swaying around, looking weak and dehydrated.
After seeing Xiaozhi's Pikachu always accompanying him, the competitive water otter also followed suit and followed him outside...
However, for a Pokémon with a very high water content in its body, coming to this desert environment would be a kind of torture.
Mingyi looked around, already looking for the local check-in point.
Although this is a desert area, the rare terrain is also a very famous tourist destination in the Hezhong area. Every year, many tourists come to experience the desert culture.
As for the previous collaboration with Ati in the cafe...
Unable to withstand the other party's repeated requests, and even offered a high reward, Mingyi finally agreed and authorized his own comic image.
The reward is not important, the main thing is that she also wants to see what she will be like in the comics.
At that time, words like "devote yourself to art" and "great works are eclectic" that Yadi said always made Mingyi a little worried.
However, the other party is the leader of Feiyun Gym, so he shouldn't do anything outrageous, so he will leave it up to him.
"Ah! Found it!!"
Soon, Mingyi found the tourist spot check-in place, which was located in the middle section of Route 4 and was built with a small house.
In addition to checking in and guiding tourists, they also sell drinks, food, and even clothing and equipment for entering the desert.
After all, under constant sunlight exposure, the temperature of the sand in the desert is extremely high. If you step on it, the soles of ordinary shoes will melt and the soles of your feet will be burned.
"Guys, you can freely enter the desert in the east. There is no danger. You can play freely~"
The manager of this tourist spot introduced Xiaozhi and the others with a smile:
"But the desert in the west is still an uninhabited desert area. Dangerous wild Pokémon may inhabit it, or there may be a risk of desert collapse. If you are not a professional, please do not take risks... So it is recommended to visit the desert in the east~! "
Of course, this place is not blocked by any agency.
The uninhabited desert area to the west is also freely accessible. Many explorers or archaeologists enter it every year.
After all, the legendary ancient castle is buried under the desert in the west, and countless people are flocking to it, hoping to be the first to discover it.
However, because the area is so vast, even if traces of the ancient city are found by chance...
But as the wind and sand blew, the sand covered everything, leaving no definite traces and guidance at all.
"Let's go, Xiaozhi, let's go to the desert in the west~!"
Acroma took the lead and walked in front.
"Oh, Mr. Acroma is very adventurous today~!"
Xiaozhi was a little surprised when he saw this. It seems that this scientist is also very interested in that ancient castle?
Naturally, he would not refuse. Exploring unknown areas is much more interesting than taking the established route.
"Eh..."
Seeing that both companions had chosen a direction, Mingyi looked troubled, but she gritted her teeth and followed.
She just wanted to check in and didn't want to go into some wild desert!
Next, they should go directly across Route 4 and reach Raven City...
It was a fashionable city with a highly developed entertainment industry, and Mingyi had already gone there for a stroll.
...
All the way to the border of the desert in the west, there is a protruding asphalt road. Going forward is the land of yellow sand. The surface sand flows slowly with the air current.
The desert ahead is endless, with no end in sight, only undulating sand dunes and ravines.
Occasionally, one or two ferocious-looking vultures flew by, their sharp eyes scanning the desert, as if they were looking for corpses and carrion to eat.
Pikachu didn't think much and walked up directly, his hind limbs sinking into the sand.
"Pi, Pika!!!"
After a few seconds of delay, Pikachu's expression suddenly changed and he jumped up suddenly in the desert.
He was still holding his feet in the air, but within a few seconds of touching the sand, they were already burned and swollen.
It's just that Pikachu can't fly. After jumping up, it quickly fell down naturally. This time, its butt touched the sand.
Bah...!
There was a sound of grilling meat on the iron plate, and Pikachu jumped up again, hugging his red-hot butt and screaming in panic again.
Boom!
Even Pikachu's body burst into flames for no apparent reason.
"Um, are you in a burn state?"
Xiaozhi tilted his mouth, could this cause burns?
He quickly stood on the edge of the desert, stretched out his hands forward, caught Pikachu and hugged it back.
After feeding Pikachu a Muzi fruit to relieve Pikachu's burn condition, Xiaozhi squatted down and tried to insert his fingers into the hot sand in front of him.
It's really hot...
But it's not as exaggerated as Pikachu, is it acting again?
But you can’t. You can also act in a burnt state, right...?
Mingyi and Water Otter next to them saw that Xiaozhi had already inserted half of his hand into the sand, so they also tried to touch their fingers to the desert.
Bah...!
The instant burning sensation of high temperature made both of them almost shed tears. They quickly withdrew their fingers and kept blowing on their mouths.
It's outrageous. Is Xiaozhi's arm made of iron? A whole hand is inserted into it? !
Soon, Xiaozhi stood up. In any case, it should be impossible to enter this desert on foot.
At the door just now, I didn’t buy a special desert spaceship——
It is a person standing on a small wooden boat, and then letting a heat-resistant Pokémon or a flying Pokémon pull it forward. This is a very common mode of transportation in this desert area.
But it wasn't a big problem. The next moment, both Xiaozhi and Mingyi looked at Acroma.
"Mr. Acroma, it's your turn to take action!"
“Let’s see the power of technology!”
The few of us have been traveling together for some time. Whenever we encounter any problems, Acroma's machine inventions are always trustworthy!
"Hmph~ Just leave it to me~!"
Hearing this, Acroma hummed and chuckled proudly.
He pushed up his glasses, controlled the robotic arm, and rummaged through the four-dimensional bag of the robot accompanying him...
