"Draconis, are there many dangerous Pokémon down here?" a miner couldn't help but ask.
Draconis hummed in acknowledgment. He looked around; there were also some exposed veins on the surface. Although large-scale smelting wasn't possible, Draconis thought it should be enough just for developing Poké Balls.
Seeing this, the miners exchanged glances.
"Those Pokémon won't run up to the surface, will they?" someone asked, his face full of fear.
"You don't have to worry about that. Most of those Pokémon live underground. If nothing unexpected happens below, they might never come to the surface in their entire lives."
Draconis pondered as he spoke.
Currently, members of the Knights Order are here to protect these miners, but if they encounter powerful Pokémon, their strength alone probably won't be enough to stop them.
Draconis wanted to invite Trainers to protect the miners, but all things considered, including himself, there were only two Trainers in the territory.
Since that's the case, he could only ask Anna and Zorua to come and help.
With Zorua's excellent illusion-making ability, even if they encountered dangerous Pokémon, Anna and these miners could retreat safely.
"I will send people to protect you later," Draconis said after a moment of thought.
"Phew—" The miners immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Draconis about to leave, they quickly said, "Draconis, please take care!"
Draconis nodded slightly, then turned and left with Dratini and Snivy.
The miners stayed in place, continuing to mine while speculating about who Draconis would send to protect them.
"Hey, Allen, who do you think Draconis will send?" a miner asked his companion.
"I don't know… but it should be someone from the Knights Order, right? Our territory only has these few adults who have fought with Pokémon…"
"I hope it's Sir Ryan. Sir Ryan's swordsmanship is the best. If he's here, we can mine with peace of mind."
"It would be great if Sir Geralt were here too."
After all, Sir Geralt's strength was outstanding even within the entire kingdom.
However, when Geralt was mentioned, the few miners present fell silent.
Last winter, to protect Draconis, that adult single-handedly lured away a group of Pokémon that attacked the convoy. He never returned after that, and his fate is still unknown.
Moreover, that was a large group of powerful Pokémon. Even if Sir Geralt was strong, he wouldn't be a match for them, would he?
"Sigh!"
The miners all sighed. Just as they were guessing who Draconis would send, they suddenly saw a little girl run over.
That's… "Hey, Anna, why did you run out? Go back quickly, it's very dangerous outside!" a miner who knew Anna quickly stood up and said.
"Draconis asked me to protect you!" Anna's mood was incredibly excited at this moment.
Draconis actually entrusted such a difficult task to her and Zorua. Hehe, just thinking about it made her excited!
More importantly, they could finally do something for Draconis!
Draconis not only cured her mother's illness but also personally rescued her when she was lost… His kindness was something they could never repay.
If Draconis needed them, she and Zorua would be the sharpest swords in his hand!
"What?!"
Hearing Little Anna's words, the miners were all shocked.
Was Draconis not joking with them?
Anna seemed to have just turned ten this year, right?
Seeing these miners question her strength, Anna looked serious and said, "Zorua, let everyone see how powerful we are!"
"Woo~!"
Zorua let out a melodious cry.
It leaped nimbly, and a faint blue glow simultaneously appeared in its eyes.
The next second, an invisible psychic wave burst from its body.
With a "boom," a large rock not far away was instantly pulverized by that force.
!!!
The miners immediately turned pale with fright.
They looked in shock at the small Pokémon beside Anna.
"Is that… the power of a Pokémon?" someone couldn't help but murmur.
But what shocked them even more was that Anna was able to command Pokémon in battle like a Pokémon user.
Anna looked at everyone and chuckled, "Do you believe me now?"

In the herb garden, Lila observed the three Pokémon named Petilil in front of her while making notes on paper with a pen.
"Petilil, somewhat timid, seems to have a special fondness for flowers and plants. The method of eating is unknown, but it is suspected that it can replenish nutrients directly by basking in the sun like plants…"
"Jiji~"
The three Petilil ran around lively in the flower bed.
As Grass-type Pokémon, they could clearly sense the vitality and nutrients contained in the soil of this place.
They bathed in the sunlight, gently shaking their small heads, and grew happily.
More importantly, this herb garden was surrounded by a wooden fence, forming a very private area.
And those wooden fences could also keep other dangerous Pokémon out, so they didn't have to worry about being attacked by other Pokémon at any time, as they were in the forest before.
This unprecedented sense of security made the Petilil's hearts relax involuntarily.
This feeling was truly wonderful!
At this moment, the three Petilil turned their heads and saw the human named Lila observing them closely.
"Jiji…?"
"Hello there, Petilil!" Lila rubbed her hands expectantly: "Can I have one of the leaves on your head to look at?"
Leaves?
"Jiji!" Yes, you can!
One Petilil shook its head, and immediately, a leaf slowly floated down from above.
Lila's eyes lit up. As she reached out to pick up the leaf, she was surprised to find that a new leaf had spontaneously grown on Petilil's head!
"This is…"
"Jiji~"
Petilil seemed very happy.
These leaves were nothing to them!
Because even if they accidentally fell off, they would immediately grow back.
Petilil looked unconcerned. Seeing that Lila seemed to like their leaves very much, the other two Petilil also let the leaves on their heads slowly float down.
So, so many!
Lila was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted and quickly thanked them:
"Thank you, Petilil! I will definitely make good use of these leaves!"
After saying that, Lila stood up and returned to the wooden house with the leaves.
Next, it was time to use this precious medicinal material to concoct rare potions.
For a physician, concocting potions is a very important skill, and this skill is key to healing the sick and saving lives.
Lila took out a leaf and tasted it. Immediately, a bitter taste filled her entire mouth.
"So bitter!"
But what followed was that she felt her whole being filled with energy.
"It really does have the effect of restoring mental energy!"
Lila's eyes lit up. So next, it was time to make these leaves into precious potions.
Moreover, Lila also heard that the soup made from these leaves had the effect of an insect repellent.
With it, when the hot summer days arrived, they wouldn't have to worry about mosquito problems!
