Kingdom border?
Northern Unova region?
Draconis was slightly taken aback.
As far as he knew, Lacunosa Town and Giant Chasm were located in the northeastern part of the Unova region.
Didn't this mean that the distance between them and Giant Chasm wasn't as far as they had imagined?
"I also heard from the villagers there that traveling merchants from other places visit periodically, bringing specialties and daily necessities from other regions to trade with them," Evan added.
Draconis nodded thoughtfully.
In that case, they could also trade with the village there.
Traveling merchants have been to many places and must be well-informed; perhaps they could inquire about Lacunosa Town from them, Draconis thought.
However, for now, important matters came first.
Draconis turned his gaze to Gerolt, this fierce man who could defeat an entire Haxorus group with his mortal body.
"Gerolt, I have a mission for you."
"Please speak, Your Highness."
"Go to the Mine and protect the miners so they can go deeper into the Mine to extract more ore," Draconis said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Gerolt performed a standard knight's salute.
"Alfred, please arrange the work for the newcomers. Have them help with mining, logging, or Gathering berries in the wild. We must speed up the construction progress," Draconis said.
"Yes, Your Highness!" the Old Butler softly responded.
"Teacher, what about us?" Anna, holding Zorua, asked with anticipation.
They must also have new missions, right?
"How is Zorua's combat training coming along?" Draconis asked.
Anna's face was full of fighting spirit: "All the Geodude on the mountain have been defeated by us!"
Previously, she and Zorua were protecting the miners at the Mine. Bored, Anna directed Zorua to battle the Geodude inhabiting the area, one after another, thoroughly 'troubling' all the Geodude on the entire Mine.
Draconis: "..."
It seemed Anna and Zorua had grown incredibly fast during this period?
"In that case, I do have a new mission for you," Draconis said.
"Mission accomplished, guaranteed!" Anna immediately straightened up and promised.
"I haven't even said what the mission is yet..."
Saying that, Draconis turned to the page of Combee in the Pokémon habitat map recorded by Christina and handed it to Anna.
"I need you and Zorua to try and make contact with this magical beast."
Anna looked down and saw two bee-like magical beasts on it.
Below the two magical beasts, someone had made a mark with a pen.
"Vespiquen" and "Combee."
"Huh? Combee and Vespiquen?" Anna read out the two names.
Draconis nodded: "This is a group-dwelling magical beast led by a Vespiquen. Her status in the group is like that of a king among humans, and the Combee are her most loyal soldiers."
Anna's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, are we supposed to find them and defeat them?"
She understood! This must be a test from her teacher for her and Zorua! Anna's eyes lit up.
"...No." Seeing Anna's expression, Draconis was momentarily speechless. He pondered for a moment, then explained: "It's not about defeating them. I need you to approach them and build a good relationship with them."
"Eh?" Anna was stunned.
"Combee are very good at brewing sweet honey from nectar. If they can join our territory, we can produce our own honey," Draconis explained.
Without a Vespiquen, Combee are very weak Pokémon in the Pokémon world.
In the wild forests, they are often driven away by the greedy Beautifly, who then steal their nectar.
And the nectar stored in Combee's nests is often unceremoniously taken by Pokémon like Teddiursa and Ursaring.
Even Mothim will sneak into sleeping Combee's nests in the dead of night to steal honey and get a share.
Upon hearing this, Anna immediately understood.
Build a good relationship, invite Combee and Vespiquen to join the territory! She could definitely do it!
"Everyone, I'm counting on you!" Draconis looked at the crowd and said.
With the orders given, Gerolt and the others turned and left to carry out their missions.
The vast lord's hall suddenly became empty.
Draconis leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh.
Construction, Gathering, logging, mining... Now that the territory had enough population, these projects could finally proceed simultaneously.
However, this was still not enough.
Besides firing bricks, they also needed to fire glass.
After all, how could a qualified house be without a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing glass window?
Thinking of this, Draconis opened the panel again, constantly scanning the names in the citizen interface, trying to see if he could find some skilled personnel among them.
This way, he wouldn't need to spend extra satisfaction to unlock technology. In the early stages of pioneering, the more he saved, the better.
However, he didn't find any talent, but he did see two unfamiliar names among the Pokémon citizens.
[Machoke]
Huh? Draconis was a little surprised. Where did these two Machoke come from?
He immediately clicked on Machoke's name to view its specific information.
[Pokémon: Machoke]
[Type: Fighting]
[Gender: Male]
[Ability: No Guard]
[Moves: Karate Chop, Glare, Low Kick, Bulk Up, Low Sweep, Seismic Toss]
[Friendship: 0]
[Pokémon History: In the 145th year of the Kingdom's calendar, Machop was born.]
[In the 146th year of the Kingdom's calendar, Machop was captured by humans, put in shackles, and began working for humans.]
[In the 147th year of the Kingdom's calendar, under high-intensity work, Machop evolved into Machoke. The long-term oppression made Machoke lose its will to resist, and even after evolving, it did not change the reality of their exploitation.]
[In the 148th year of the Kingdom's calendar, Machoke was dispatched to the fiefdom with Third Prince Draconis.]
This is... Machoke?
The image of this Pokémon immediately appeared in Draconis's mind.
Machoke, the Superpower Pokémon, has a very robust physique. In modern times, it is a strong contender with both powerful muscles and lasting endurance.
Their strength is famously great. In that distant future, Machoke and its evolution, Machamp, often help out at moving companies, construction sites, and similar places.
Whether it's carrying heavy luggage and furniture, or helping to move cement mixers and dump trucks at construction sites, they are very skilled.
The territory actually has these two Pokémon... If they had the help of Machoke, their construction progress could be further improved.
After all, there were currently no Pokémon in the territory more suitable for moving bricks than Machoke.
However, these two Machoke had been exploited for so long, and he didn't know what their current situation was.
After a moment of thought, Draconis decided to find them and observe them first.
