"Qiaolong shut up!"
The slightly older dragon trainer girl covered his mouth, "You're the only one who talks too much!"
Zhen Ya sighed and said, "This matter is quite complicated to explain. You will know it sooner or later, so I won't go into details here. In short, most of the time we are the kind that cannot be faulted..."
From him, Kashiwagi gradually learned a situation—
Almost everyone in the Meteor Clan wanted those dragon-attributed super stones, but there were too many people and too little supply, so those dragon-attributed super stones had already been divided up.
Whenever a vacancy appears, many dragon trainers will scramble for it.
Those who cannot grab the stone can only settle for the next best thing and choose super stones with other attributes, or go out and look for the super stones they want without relying on the village.
But after thousands of years, almost every corner of the Hoenn region has been traveled by the people of Meteor. It is no exaggeration to say that they have dug three feet into the ground, so there is no way to find a super stone with dragon attributes.
After listening to Jinya's rather helpless explanation, Kashiwagi wondered why not go to the Kalos region to look for it?
Simultaneously.
He also learned that the Dragonite Evolution Stone, which had finally become vacant in recent years, was obtained by Shijiana.
The latter is an elite among the young generation of dragon trainers, and her comprehensive strength is among the best among all dragon trainers. Not only that, she has another identity.
"Inheriter?"
Chapter 372: Inside the Meteor
Thanks to Kashiwagi for the strong suggestion.
Zhen Ya released the Land Shark that he had just retracted.
"Crack~"
The dense scales reflected a faint light in the slightly dim cave, and the strange dragon that had the element of shark fused together let out a low roar of joy.
It can be seen that it is very adapted to this environment, and it was most likely born in Meteor Falls.
"See these two oval-shaped things? They are Land Shark's sensory organs. They can easily sense any movement no matter how far away it is."
Jinya said complacently: "Team Rocket—"
"Stop! I already know that Garchomp is very powerful, so there's no need to say anything more." Kashiwagi spoke out to stop this guy from subconsciously setting a flag, and then looked at him and moved closer to his feet to stay away from Garchomp's big mouth.
"Uh!"
Zhen Ya's speech was blocked back into his mouth.
He actually wanted to recommend Lu Shark to Kashiwagi, but in the end the other party seemed to be more concerned about Team Rocket, which made him come to his senses a little.
But Jinya still felt a little confused, "Kashiwagi, why do you seem to be afraid of Team Rocket?"
"It's not fear, it's respect."
Kashiwagi shook his head, "From an objective point of view, the fact that Team Rocket has been able to cause trouble in Johto and Kanto for so long without being wiped out by the League Prosecutors is enough to prove that their power is extremely powerful and hidden, and we must guard against them.
"Besides, I am more concerned about the technological power they hold... This may sound a bit vague to you."
He gave Big Mouth a reassuring look, and stepped back a little to choose an open location with higher ground. He took off his backpack and said loudly, "Let your Land Shark attack me with its dragon claws. It's best to attack the clothes I'm wearing, because it is one of the most powerful protective suits currently available."
"What's a protective suit...eh? Wait! Isn't that too dangerous?"
Zhen Ya was stunned for a moment and refused without thinking.
"Don't worry, it's okay. Just let the Land Shark attack!" Kashiwagi waved his hand and said earnestly, "Really? Believe me!"
Zhenya muttered, "Even if you say so..."
"I just want to show you the results of technology. Do you believe that Land Shark's attack can't break through the defense of this suit?" he said loudly.
"I don't believe it! Just such thin clothes?"
"Just give it a try!"
"But... okay, Land Shark uses Dragon Claws!"
“Ka-po…”
Garchomp looked at his trainer hesitantly, and when he saw his trainer nod and give him a look, he had no choice but to lower his body, hold his shark fin, which was glowing with a bright green light, horizontally, and rush towards Kashiwagi!
As a supersonic Pokémon, its shark fins can generate air blades when running at high speeds, which is enough to cut a tree in half. But right now, it doesn't dare to use its full strength.
But even if some of the force was reduced, the power was still terrifying.
Bang!
The shark fin suddenly cut into Kashiwagi's chest, and the explosion of dragon-attribute energy immediately sent the latter flying backwards!
Kog'Maw's figure disappeared in an instant, and he quickly rushed towards the place where the trainer flew to, but stopped halfway, and his tense face relaxed slightly.
Garchomp stood there with a strange expression on his face. It felt like his moves weren't quite right...
"Kashiwagi!"
Zhen Ya shouted in panic, but in the next moment he saw the other party roll backwards extremely nimbly, put his feet on the rock wall, rolled forward to the ground, and stood up with extraordinary ease.
"Huh~ Didn't you use your full strength? But it should be pretty intuitive."
Kashiwagi stood up and brushed off the dust on his body, revealing his clothes without even a scratch. He smiled at the rather resentful Big Mouth Baby and said, "Look, it's okay."
"Tsk!" Big Mouth Kid turned his head away and ignored him.
Kashiwagi said helplessly to the extremely shocked Jinya and Garchomp, "As you can see, Garchomp's claws didn't cause much damage to me."
"Ah? Why? It's impossible?"
The young dragon trainer could hardly believe his eyes. You know, Garchomp's claws could even cut rocks into pieces. Not to mention that it didn't hurt anyone, how could it not even damage a piece of clothing?
Jinya ran over and grabbed Kashiwagi's clothes, turning them over and over, "It's just this thin? Is this true?"
"Facts speak louder than words. This special protective suit called Lava Suit has reduced the attribute energy and impact force I have endured to the greatest extent. The remaining force is nothing to me."
The latter took off his coat and handed it over. "This is the power of technology. The technological power possessed by Team Rocket is very likely not weaker than it, and may even be far superior."
Zhen Ya, who was pinching the clothes, was speechless.
Obviously, this is a bit beyond their cognition. The rapid development of science and technology in the outside world is absolutely beyond the comprehension of the Meteor people who live in a remote corner. Secluded from the world as a whole will only make them fall further behind the times.
In Kashiwagi's opinion, Meteoric Village can set up a gym like Yanmo City to further strengthen its connection with the outside world.
Although the Dragon Town is a peaceful place, at least it has the mayor of Shuanglong City and the gym leader to protect it, and later on there is also a Unova champion like Alice.
However, among the people of Meteor, there is no such person who enjoys a high status in the outside world.
"In short, don't underestimate Team Rocket, even if it's just its technological strength." Kashiwagi patted Jinya's shoulder earnestly.
Daigo and Raikou will certainly take care of this matter, but who knows when Team Rocket will arrive, and whether these two great gods can make it in time. Just don't let anything go wrong by then.
Begin patrolling again.
Jinya quickly recovered from the shock brought by the lava suit and introduced every interesting place in Meteor Falls to Kashiwagi.
The two chatted, and from time to time a few wild Pokémon passed by.
For example, the three or two Zubats flying overhead, the rolling Geodudes, and even the groups of Pipis, all didn't seem to be afraid of people.
"They mainly recognize the clothes and know we won't do anything to them."
Jinya took the initiative to answer Kashiwagi's questions.
The traditional clothing of the Meteor People often has a scale-like symbol, which comes from the mark on Rayquaza - Team Aqua and Team Magma also use the patterns on Kyogre and Groudon as their team emblem.
"What are those seed- and tooth-like patterns on the elder's shoulders?" Kashiwamu circled his neck with his hands.
Jinya thought about it and suddenly realized, "Ah! You mean the inheritor's cloak? That is a piece of clothing that only the inheritor can have. The champion's cloak unique to the Hoenn region is derived from it."
"Ah~"
He nodded in understanding.
After a while, as they moved forward, the sound of rushing water gradually became louder. When they turned a corner, a huge cave waterfall appeared in front of them.
It is much larger than the small waterfalls I have seen before...or rather, this is what you call a real waterfall!
"We're here! The Longmen Waterfall leads to a deeper place!" Zhen Ya's voice was a little excited.
"Longmen Falls?"
"Yes, look carefully toward the waterfall."
Under Zhen Ya's guidance, Baimu looked towards the waterfall, and immediately saw several large red fish falling from the top of the waterfall, and several others rushing upwards with their tails swinging.
In the turbulent river emitting a bright blue light, there are a large number of carp kings swimming back and forth.
"Ouch!"
There are still a lot of loaches in the river ahead, but here are only Magikarp left?
And this behavior...
"The Magikarp gathered here just to go upstream to the top of the waterfall, and the Magikarp that succeeded in the end is the one that we believe can definitely evolve into Gyarados!"
Zhenya whispered, "So 'the carp leaps over the dragon gate', the Dragon Gate Waterfall!"
“I didn’t expect there was such an allusion.”
Kashiwagi looked at the Magikarp that were competing to jump, and he didn't expect that they would have such a habit... They were simply helping dragon trainers select excellent Magikarp individuals!
If you want to be sure that your Magikarp will evolve into Gyarados, just go up there and wait.
Suddenly.
He thought of his Harlequin fish.
Although this is Longmen Waterfall, which represents a carp leaping over the dragon gate, this guy's evolution is after all a Pokémon from the Dragon Egg Group, so it has some relationship with dragons.
Besides, the principle of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan is the same as the carp leaping over the dragon gate!
This may be a good place to cultivate confidence in Harpy Clownfish.
Baimu secretly took note of Longmen Waterfall and planned to come here to let the Harlequin Fish give it a try after he finished patrolling with Zhenya. He believed that with the Harlequin Fish's strength, this waterfall would not be a problem at all.
"Not bad."
He nodded.
Zhenya next to him smiled with satisfaction.
