Chapter 298: Giant Ants in the Desert
"Be good, I'm fine!" Qingyi gently comforted Youkira, "The sandstorm is over now, we are safe!"
However, due to the impact of the sandstorm, she didn't know where she was running in a panic and had long deviated from her original route.
So Qingyi took out the Pokémon Encyclopedia to determine her location and replanned her route.
Afterwards, Qingyi and Yukira walked along the planned route, but not long after, she stopped in front of a sand dune.
"Yukira, do you feel that the sand dunes in front are moving?" She bent down and stared at the sand dunes that were vaguely moving.
Kira looked at it carefully and nodded, "Yu~" It was really moving!
"Let's go and take a look!" Qingyi was about to walk over when the sand under her feet began to loosen.
The sand in the area centered on the sand dune to Qingyi's feet collapsed instantly, and she and Yukira fell down.
"Ah, puff~" Qingyi lay in the sand pit, raised her head and spit out a mouthful of sand.
Then she grabbed the rope and pulled Yukira out from under the sand. She sighed as she cleaned the sand for herself and Yukira, "Today is such a bad day, either a sandstorm or a landslide!"
At this moment, a huge orange-red head suddenly popped out from the sand under Qingyi's feet.
This big round head has a huge jaw and a pair of small eyes like copper coins.
"Big jaw ant!" Qingyi exclaimed, sliding down to the front of the big jaw ant, "So the reason why this place suddenly collapsed is because there is a nest of yours underneath!"
According to the information, the Jaw Ant is a Pokémon that lives in dry deserts and stays motionless in a garlic-pounding-pot-shaped nest, waiting for prey to fall into it.
At night they retreat back into the sand to sleep, and can survive for a week without eating anything. The big crocodiles have the power to crush rocks.
Their natural enemy is the dark-eyed crocodile.

Qingyi couldn't help but scan the information of the giant jaw ant, and unexpectedly found that they were all quite good. Her eyes lit up.
The big-jawed ant also blinked its little eyes. It was very surprised by the arrival of Qingyi and Youkira.
The big-jawed ant looked at Qingyi, as if to confirm whether she was hostile.
Seeing this, Qingyi quickly waved her hands to show that she had no ill intentions, "We were just passing by here and accidentally fell into your nest."
Yukira also nodded in agreement, "Yu~" That's right, we fell down accidentally!
But the giant jaw ant didn't seem to listen to what she and Yukira said, and the look in its eyes when it looked at them changed.
It was the look of one looking at prey. This big-jawed ant obviously regarded Qingyi and Youkira as its prey.
The big-jawed ant thought: I am so lucky today. So much food fell today, enough for me to eat for a long time!
But there is so much food, how can such a small animal carry it back home?
Thinking about his own small body, the big-jawed ant was very distressed.
"You~" Yiyi, why does You Kira feel that this guy's eyes are weird!
Yuki pulled Qingyi's clothes and asked in confusion.
Qingyi nodded, agreeing with him, "I feel the same way!"
As she spoke, Qingyi pulled Youkira and wanted to climb up first. There was no sense of security in this sand pit. They didn't know when they would be buried by the sand.
But the giant-jawed ant suddenly bit Qingyi's trouser leg and pulled her down while she was climbing up.
"What do you want to do?" Qingyi asked with a stern face as she looked at the giant-jawed ant that was still biting her trouser leg.
Yukira also put her hands on her hips and said, "Yu~" which means, what do you want to do?
The big-jawed ants stared at Qingyi and Youkira with their coin-like eyes, thinking that they must not let the food for the next six months escape.
Because it has let too many big prey escape, if the prey escapes again this time, it will start moving and wandering again!
Seeing that the big-jaw ant didn't react, Qingyi moved closer to it, reached out her hand and gently stroked its head, saying softly, "Can we go up first?"
No!
The big-jawed ant shook his head.
If they go up, they will definitely run away. This is what happened to the big prey before. They told them to go up first, but they ran away after going up!
It won't be fooled again!
The big-jawed ant thought this in his mind, and tried to pull Qingyi's trouser leg to the hole below.
"You little guy...you think you and Yukira are your prey!" Qingyi looked at the giant jaw ant that was pulling her so persistently, with a look of surprise on her face, and then she felt a little funny.
"In that case, I won't be polite!"
She grabbed the giant jaw ant's huge head with both hands and pulled it out of the sand.
The big-jaw ant struggled violently. Just as it opened its mouth wide to bite Qingyi, Qingyi let go of the big-jaw ant and suddenly shouted, "Yukira, use your noise!"
The big-jawed ant still wanted to bite Qingyi, but a very harsh sound rang in its ears, causing it to suffer great pain in the head.
The giant-jawed ants wanted to get rid of this devilish sound, so they endured the pain and dug in the sand, trying to return to their nest.
Can’t it just give up the big prey?
The world outside is so scary! Its head is about to explode!
"Go ahead, Poke Ball!"
Just as the giant jaw ant was digging a hole, Qingyi threw a Poké Ball at it, hitting the giant jaw ant accurately.
The Poké Ball opened, took the Jaw Ant inside, and then landed on the sand.
Looking at the constantly shaking Poké Ball, Qingyi stared at it nervously.
The Poké Ball kept shaking, and just when Qingyi thought it would not succeed, the Poké Ball suddenly locked with a "ding" sound!
Qingyi smiled happily and picked up the Poké Ball. "Luckily it's a deluxe ball. If it was an ordinary red and white ball, I might not be able to capture you!"
"Come out, big-jawed ant!"
As soon as the big-jawed ant came out, it looked around blankly.
It just seemed like... it entered a space that was very suitable for its survival...
Why did you suddenly come out again?
It must be the work of this big prey!
The big-jawed ant stared at Qingyi in front of it and opened its big mouth to bite her.
"Ah..." Qingyi quickly reached out and closed the big mouth of the giant ant, saying: "Little guy, you still want to bite me, but I am your trainer now, and you are my Pokémon!"
The giant-jawed ant seemed to understand Qingyi's words. It tilted its head and remembered a neighbor it met in a desert when it was wandering. The neighbor also had a trainer, and then it followed the trainer.
The neighbor never came back until it moved.
However, the neighbor said a lot to it before leaving, and one of the things he said was that it should find a trainer as soon as possible.
It didn't understand, so it asked the neighbor why he wanted to find a trainer.
The neighbor said that with a trainer, they can live a good life and no longer have to wander around!
It didn't take this sentence to heart at first, and after a long time, it forgot about it, until now when it heard the word "trainer" and remembered it!
So, it found a trainer for itself out of nowhere? Does that mean it can live the good life that the neighbors talked about, with enough food every day?
If that's the case, that doesn't seem so bad!
The big-jawed ant analyzed the situation for a long time in his mind, and finally nodded to Qingyi, repeating in his mind: This is not a big prey, this is a trainer!
Seeing its cute appearance, Qingyi gently touched the head of the big-jaw ant and said with a smile: "Big-jaw ant, we are partners from now on. My name is Qingyi, and this is Yukira!"
Upon hearing this, the giant-jawed ant tilted its head, let out a cheerful cry, and then touched Qingyi's hand to show its friendliness.
"Big Jaw Ant, you and I are destined to be together!" Qingyi took out a rope and tied it to the big jaw ant, muttering as she did so: "We were originally walking on another road, which was completely unrelated to this direction. Who knew that we would encounter a sandstorm and hurriedly ran over here, and fell into your sand pit. Tell me, are we destined to be together?"
Qingyi said a lot of things at once, but the big-jawed ant didn't quite understand and reacted a little slowly.
Yukira nodded seriously, "Yu~" It is indeed a fate!
After tying the rope, Qingyi quickly led Yukira and the giant jaw ant out of the sand pit.
"Thank you, Big Jaw Ant!" Qingyi touched the Big Jaw Ant's head.
She took out two ground-type energy cubes from her bag, looked at the giant jaw ant and said, "Ah... open your mouth!"
The big-jaw ant opened its mouth obediently.
Qingyi threw the energy cube into the mouth of the big-jaw ant. The big-jaw ant chewed it and its eyes lit up instantly.
It found that although these two cubes of things didn't look very good, they tasted unexpectedly so good!
It’s so delicious!
The big-jawed ant happily turned around after eating the delicious food, and then climbed onto Qingyi's shoulder.
Then, Qingyi opened the Pokémon Encyclopedia again and followed the planned route...
………………
After walking in the desert for another two days, Qingyi, the giant jaw ant and Youkira finally walked out of the desert.
They rested for one night in a small town on the edge of the desert, and rushed to Inyu City without stopping the next day.
After arriving in Inyu City, Qingyi ran to the Pokémon Center.
After opening the room, she gave Yukira and the giant jaw ant a bath first.
Although these two little ones don't like touching water, they are not made of rocks, so it is no problem for them to take a bath.
After so many days in the desert, my body was covered with dust and sand!
Very much in need of cleaning!
After bathing the two Pokémon, it was her turn.
"I'm so tired! Now I finally get a good night's sleep!"
After taking a shower, Qingyi fell on the bed. She felt so sleepy!
She yawned, looked up at Yukira and the Mandible Ant who were sitting on the bed and chatting in a friendly manner, and said, "Yukira, Mandible Ant, you two can play by yourselves. I'm so sleepy and need a nap!"
After saying that, she turned over and fell into a deep sleep the next second.
She felt very tired after running around in the desert these days. She was so sleepy that she fell asleep in seconds!
When the Jaw Ant saw that its new trainer had stopped moving, it was a little worried that its future would be in jeopardy, so it crawled over and wanted to rub against her.
But he was pulled back by Kira.
The Jaw Ant looked at Yukira in confusion, not understanding what it meant.
You Kira lowered her voice and explained: "You, You!" Don't disturb Yiyi's sleep, otherwise if you wake her up, she will be angry!
Big Jaw Ant: "If Yiyi gets angry, will I have no cubes to eat?"
Looking at the innocent appearance of the giant jaw ant, You Kira couldn't help but fool it with an exaggerated expression: "You, You!" That's right, Yi Yi is so scary when she gets angry!
