Alex stood on top of a sand dune, in the middle of a vast desert with yellow sand surrounding him on all sides. Due to his rapid killing of magic beasts to farm exp points, Alex had killed almost all of the magic beasts around Balon City and it was taking too long for more beasts to come occupy the territories of the dead ones.
For this reason, Alex was forced to travel very far just to look for more magic beasts to kill. Currently, he was millions of miles away from Balon City and had found this desert that was infested with hundreds of sand worms.
This was where Alex had gotten the rest of his exp for the day, he had wiped out the entire population of sand worms and rendered the desert empty; it would probably take some time for more magic beasts to migrate here and Alex knew that he would need to go even further the next time he came out of farm exp.
