Kashiwagi: "No need to bother Daigo-san...Okay, okay, I'll go to Akiba Town next. Give me another day and a half at most, and I'll definitely be there."
Ryza: "Got it! I'll have Daigo contact you when the time comes!"
Kashiwagi: "..."
Why do these sisters talk as if they can order champions around at will? However, with Daigo's fanatical love for stones, if he hears about stones carrying mythical Pokémon, he will definitely come running over no matter how far away they are.
-
The north stop of the cable car.
Kashiwagi pushed the huge cart down and sped along under the curious gazes of the staff and travelers.
The wind blew a corner of the black cloth, revealing rugged rocks.
This made them look away.
There are many people coming to Chimney Mountain to pick up stones. Although there are few people who pick up a large pile like Baimu and leave, there are some.
Baimu, who was walking down the mountain path, stopped the cart in front of a forest, lifted the black cloth to let Lei Gong go free, and threw the unwanted stones aside.
"…It still can't fit in. What should I do?"
After he put the Fire Stone into his bag, he found that there was no room for the remaining Fire Gems and Wishing Stars. His bag was already filled with various things. He couldn't help but look to Lei Gong for help.
"..."
The latter looked away silently.
What can it do? It's not a Kentaro that pulls a cart.
"It seems I have to keep pushing this cart." Kashiwagi reluctantly put the bag and stones on the cart, covered them with black cloth and tied them up with a rope to prevent them from falling off.
Since we have to get to Qiuye Town or its vicinity before tomorrow, there is no need to go to places like Daihuotuo Farm.
He took Raikou and Galar Sun Coral to find the nearest Flame Trail.
This tunnel.
The game connects the two ends of Route 112, allowing players to bypass the desert that was inaccessible before obtaining goggles.
But in the animation, it is located at the bottom of Chimney Mountain. It is well connected, but there are only two exits. It is mainly used for travelers to pass through quickly and reach the main traffic artery of Route 113 in a short time.
However, it should be noted that there are many lava worms with bad tempers here.
When they move in groups, they are called lava tides. Their extremely high body temperature makes everything they pass by charred, like some kind of natural disaster.
Trainers often provoke them and are chased down madly.
And there is no doubt that its skin in the animation is like the fire on the Megalodon and the Flame Horse with rough skin characteristics. It is a magical creature that will not be harmed if you recognize it and touch it.
So don’t be surprised to see someone touching a lava snail, which is said to have a body temperature of 10,000 degrees.
Just basic animation.
"There's no need to scare them. Look, they don't even dare to come over."
Baimu pushed the cart, looked at the lava worms that were emitting bright light not far away, and said to Lei Gong beside him.
The Phoenix Guards are like heroes to weak wild Pokémon, and they will unconsciously approach them to seek their protection. But for the wild and gregarious wild Pokémon like Magma Worms, they have a different feeling when they see Raikou.
Especially when Lei Gong releases his aura.
[Sense of Oppression] allows it to maintain an extremely ferocious aura at all times. Although it has little effect on Kashiwagi who is particularly familiar with it, it is still quite effective in bullying wild Pokémon.
"……Roar."
Lei Gong glanced at him.
If there was no way to command those lava worms, I would have let them rush over to scare this little kid.
Do you like being surrounded? Let me surround you as much as you want!
pity.
When Baimu saw the look in Lei Gong's eyes, he knew that this guy was probably up to something bad, so he hurriedly pushed the cart forward.
To be honest, this cart is quite useful, but its wheels are too small and not suitable for outdoor environments. It will easily break if small stones get stuck in it, so he tries his best to avoid going to places with a lot of gravel.
Fortunately, most of the ground on the Flame Trail has been either trampled or burned, making it very friendly to carts.
With excellent leg strength.
Soon they passed the exit on Route 113.
The sunlight shone on the two of them again, causing Kashiwagi and Raikou, who were fed up with the smell of dust in the tunnel, to subconsciously take a deep breath, and the Galar Sun Corals on their shoulders also quickly relaxed.
However, since volcanic ash often blows in this direction, the air quality on Route 113 is also very worrying. Every breath you take is filled with the scent of nature.
The expressions of the three were slightly stiff.
immediately.
"...Keep trying! Qiuye Town is right before us!"
Kashiwagi was the first to break the silence, speaking excitedly to the two Pokémon, one big and one small.
Unfortunately, what he faced today was neither the three-headed dragon nor Happiny, but two completely dumb people. You can't expect any response even if you shout at them, so it was a cold reception as expected.
"keep going!"
Kashiwagi just assumed there was a response in his mind and pushed the cart along the path.
then……
The wheel of the cart broke.
"It only took a little more than half a day." He looked at the cart that collapsed to one side, holding the disassembled wheel in his hand.
This thing broke right down the middle and there are no replacement parts yet.
It caused his body to crack as well.
Seeing this, Lei Gong silently went into the grove covered with volcanic ash to prevent himself from being forced to become a moose at someone's request.
"In that case... I'm counting on you, Porygon!"
After much thought, Kashiwagi decided to entrust the difficult task of moving the stones to Porygon, who had the ability to transform.
really.
The Polygon, transformed into a floating truck by its angular shape, perfectly carries all the rocks, and uses an electromagnetic levitation system to make it look effortless.
The only question is how long it will last.
Normally, changing the body structure will put a burden on the Pokémon's spirit, just like Vaporeon used dissolving and Happiny used shrinking. But there are always one or two special cases.
For example, there is Ditto, who is born with the ability to transform, and Porygon, who is given the power to transform.
"If there is really no other choice, I can only call Steelix over." Kashiwagi thought so, and then he thought that maybe it would be okay to use the net bag to hang on the three-headed dragon?
It really is true that as long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than problems.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Kashiwagi patted the only part of Porygon's head that was left. Although it was difficult to increase the trust of the six hearts, he believed that it would be satisfied soon.
"Pah~"
Porygon responded with a smile.
It is very happy to be able to help the trainer, not to mention that this can also exercise its transformation ability.
Kashiwagi looked away towards the bushes and shouted helplessly, "You can come out now! We don't need you to work anymore!"
There was no movement.
It seems that he is too embarrassed to come out.
This big cat is really...
Kashiwagi shook his head, knowing that it would leave after he left, and continued on his way.
A few seconds later, the forest began to rustle, as if it was the sound of thunder moving.
-
And with the unremitting efforts of Kashiwagi and his team.
After sunset, the evening gradually falls.
They finally saw the outline of Qiuye Town. Shrouded in the night, the town was ablaze with colorful lights. The bright light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the sky with a special layer of light.
"call……"
Kashiwagi exhaled, looked at the three-headed dragon that was pulling the rock with a rope beside him, and touched its middle head. "Thank you for your hard work! Hold on a little longer!"
Porygon couldn't hold on to the end after all, even though it used wheels and self-regeneration later on.
Being too low in level results in deficiencies in many aspects such as physical strength, which results in such a "difficult" task having to be handed over to teammates.
"Slurp—"
The three-headed dragon rubbed his palm in return. Not to mention that he was not very tired, even if he was so tired that he was gasping for breath and didn't want to talk, he would feel a hundred times more energetic when he heard the trainer's voice.
Lei Gong stood on the other side, looking at Qiuye Town in the distance, and suddenly growled.
"roar~"
"What? You're going to Meteor Falls now?"
Although Kashiwagi didn't understand what this guy was talking about, he could roughly guess it, especially since this guy's eyes were fixed in the direction of Meteor Falls.
"I haven't even had dinner yet! And I want to go with you too—eh!"
No words were spoken.
Lei Gong has already run away.
"Will you come back at night? Will you be able to find me?" Kashiwagi shouted at the guy's back, and the latter growled, which made him feel relieved a little.
It's not a big deal if you can respond.
He discovered that Lei Gong's senses were extremely sharp in all aspects, not only breath and smell, but he could also observe things through the charged particles that were everywhere in the air, which enabled him to always easily find what he wanted, such as Jirachi, the Fire Stone, and the Fire Gem.
The same is true for other aspects. The Rocket Team's base was most likely sensed by it through the abnormal electric current.
From this point of view, it is relatively easy to find him.
