"This little guy doesn't have long legs, but it walks quite fast."

Rosa looked at Edward's Torchic waddling beside them amusedly.

Although the Torchic is much larger than the average chicken, it looks funnier.

"Chic."

Torchic seemed to understand Rosa's words and replied arrogantly.

"The little guy is smart too. Edward, where are we going now?"

The two put the washed things back into their backpacks and were ready to continue their journey.

"Let's fill some boiled water first and then head to the volcano region."

Edward said, picking up the canteen and filling it with water.

Although the water looks clean, they are still in the wild after all. They still know some survival rules.

It's better to boil the water first to avoid some unnecessary troubles.

Seeing that Edward was so confident, Rose's eyes lit up. She was really following the right person!

Since she came to the island, not only was she not afraid, but she also had a good time following Edward.

Following Edward's words, Rosa started to move again.

Soon, the preparations were done, and the two officially planned to set off towards the volcano region.

There are more powerful Pokemon to see over there.

"Are we going just like this?"

Rosa hesitantly asked Edward, who was strolling on the path.

"Of course, aren't we protected by Torchic here."

Edward looked at Torchic beside him and said.

Torchic may not have understood anything, but he seemed to know that Edward was praising it. It puffed out its chest and cried confidently.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

"Chic!"

It didn't understand what the two were saying, but it could analyze it from their tone of voice.

After all, Pokemon are very intelligent creatures.

The audience is also delighted to see such a beast with a humane expression.

[Look, Torchic is so confident.]

[The smartest chicken in the world!]

[I never imagined that a chicken could make so many expressions.]

...

The audience is jealous of Edward for having an intelligent and powerful pet like Torchic.

Rosa still decided to trust Edward and walked beside him.

After a few hours, they gradually moved towards the volcano region.

While walking along the way, they encountered a new beast not far from them.

[There's a new kind of beast.]

[Hey, it looks like a pangolin.]

...

What appeared in front of everyone was a bipedal mammalian beast that looked similar to a pangolin.

Its brick-patterned yellow hide is dry, tough, blends in with desert sand, and protects its soft white underbelly and muzzle.

It has blue, almond-shaped eyes, a pointed snout, and triangular ears with white insides. Its tail is thick and conical.

It has two long claws on each foot and three sharp claws on its forepaws, which are used to dig a hole like what it is currently doing.

"This beast can instantly smash hard rocks and dig them out. It seems that the ability to dig holes is their forte."

Rosa stated her opinions.

"Well, it seems to like burrowing in the ground. Let's just call it Sandshrew."

Edward said, looking at the Pokemon who was playing in the sand.
