He knows Pokémon better than me

"Hey, that Pokémon is...?"

Before they even reached the end of the bridge, Xiaozhi and the others saw the big black dog from a distance, with its arms and legs stretched out, and it was estimated to be two meters high on its back!

"It's the first time we've met."

Serena took out the illustrated book and scanned it from a distance.

"Godfather Mastiff, a guard dog Pokémon from the Padia region, has a vicious attribute. He likes to play with children very much. He usually has a gentle temperament, but his expression will change when he is protecting his family."

Different from its tough appearance, the Mastiff Godfather introduced in the illustrated book sounds like a reliable and gentle Pokémon?

"Guys, please stay! If you want to enter Desert City, you must have a valid reason!"

The middle-aged bridge guard saw that Xiaozhi and others were dressed like outsiders and wanted to cross the bridge, so he quickly raised his hand to stop them.

"Ouch~"

The Mastiff Godfather behind him was a little helpless and barked in cooperation, but his voice was soft.

"What a useless guy!"

The man guarding the bridge couldn't help but glance at the Mastiff Godfather and cursed secretly.

This is a mastiff that the prince bought at a high price from other places. It is said that its deterrent power is the most powerful among dog Pokémon.

After being sent to Desert City, it turned out to be a docile Pokémon! ?

As the name suggests, he is the "godfather" of mastiffs who likes to protect and take care of his offspring!

It's just that live sales cannot be returned. There is no other way, so the prince sent this mastiff godfather here to help guard the bridge.

With such a big body and a stern face, he should still have some intimidating power.

"A valid reason?"

Xiaozhi was stunned. He never heard that there was any reason to enter a city.

"This is natural. Due to the annual repairs in Desert City, daily operations require high costs and cannot support a large number of people living there."

The bridge guard saw that several people were outsiders, so he explained a lot:

"So the population entering and exiting needs to be strictly controlled, and everyone who enters must have a legitimate reason!"

When he said this, he glanced at the Mastiff Godfather behind him guiltily.

Well, with this big dog around, outsiders shouldn't be able to break in, right?

"Legitimate reasons include but are not limited to: having a household registration in Desert City, working on the ground, being summoned by the royal family, etc.!"

Although Desert City has modern architecture, it is still essentially a monarchy.

Although now, the relationship between the king and the people is not so respectful and strict, and they can only bow when they meet.

However, the power to operate the city is still in the hands of the royal family of Desert City, including the bridges and rivers used to prevent civilians from entering the city at will.

Strictly speaking, the civilian areas are only the periphery of Desert City and are not included in the city.

"It's a normal reason, can we come for a trip?"

Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask.

"Travel? Do you have any reservations? The number of tourists in Desert City every year is accurate to single digits."

The bridge guard said seriously.

Although Desert City relied on the rich local oil resources to start its business, today, a large part of its financial revenue comes from tourism.

Every year, countless people want to come to Desert City and experience the aristocratic life.

Of course, these must be reserved in advance.

"A reservation?"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi and the others looked at each other, they all came directly.

Hupa suddenly flew up and said happily:

"Xiao Zhi is here to help Hu Pa find the golden ring! This is a legitimate reason!!"

Hearing this, Xiaozhi reacted and quickly held Hupa in his arms:

"By the way, the oil in Desert City was transported by Hupa, right? Logically speaking, Hupa's identity should allow him to enter at will!"

The legend that Mei Yali told before is like this.

If the residents of the Valley of Creation believe in Arceus.

So the people in Desert City should believe in Hupa, which allows them to make a fortune, right?

"Hupa.?"

The bridge guard raised his eyebrows and looked curiously up and down at Hupa in Xiaozhi's arms.

"The Pokémon I've never seen before is just the legendary demon Hoopa. It should be a giant three or four meters in length. It can't be such a little thing!"

"And oil and other things, these are things that already exist in Desert City. They are the wealth given to us by God and not brought here by the demon god Hupa. These are just legends and no one will take them seriously."

The bridge guard waved his hand, not recognizing Hupa's status at all.

These words made Xiaozhi and others stunned. It seemed that Hupa had no status at all here.

Originally, they thought they could rely on Hupa's identity to live a noble life in Desert City for a few days!

"I was shocked. Didn't Hupa carry the oil?"

Little Hupa also stared in surprise.

Mainly because it has no memory of what the demon god Hupa did in the past.

"In short, if you want to travel, it is forbidden to enter the city without a valid reason. The outer areas also have their own customs~"

The bridge guard spread his hands, not intending to let them go, and pointed at the area of ​​civilian stone buildings behind them that was the same color as the desert.

These words immediately made several people very discouraged.

You can't just force your way in, right?

"Hey Xiaozhi, look what's posted there!?"

At this time, Citron suddenly saw a notice posted on the bridge sign. The words "Prince Samman" were marked in the lower right corner. It seemed that it was a notice from the royal family.

That should be called "King List"?

"Let me see"

Xiaozhi hurriedly moved forward. The text was normal and general text, so he couldn't understand it.

"I will be going out to challenge the masters from the outside in the near future, so I am in urgent need of sparring. You are required to be good at Pokémon battles, and you must be able to fight with me for at least fifty rounds. You will be well paid, and you can enjoy the privilege of entering Desert City at any time. !”

Seeing this, the eyes of Xiaozhi and his group all lit up.

And such a good thing!

Serena, Citron and others also looked surprised, and their eyes all fell on Xiaozhi.

Let alone fifty rounds, if Xiaozhi is sent with all his strength, he will win if the opponent can sustain it for five rounds.

"Tear!"

Xiaozhi even tore off the king list on the spot and held it in his hand.

In this case, there is a legitimate reason to go to the city, right?

"Oh, are these some powerful trainers from other places? Then you are very welcome!"

Sure enough, after seeing the confident expressions of several people, the eyes of the bridge guard instantly brightened.

These days, the wayward prince has been looking for a powerful trainer to accompany him, but he has never been able to find a suitable candidate locally.

The trainer from out of town won't be able to come again for a while.

Their prince is also the noble crown prince, the future ruler of Desert City, with a very high status!

"You guys, come with me. The prince will be very happy to see you."

The bridge guard immediately happily acted as a guide.

But he also had some doubts about the strength of Xiaozhi and others.

After all, the electric mouse on Xiaozhi's shoulder should be a Pokémon that is out there in the streets. I hope it won't make the prince angry.

Should I ask this little brother to put away this rustic electric mouse first?
