Chapter 403: Secret Realm of Silver Mountain (2)
The secret realm map does not have obvious road signs like the city map, and there are no landmark buildings for reference. This secret realm map is very vague, especially the Silver Mountain Secret Realm, which is full of mountains. The only landmark is the winding river that runs through the entire secret realm.
Wang Qiyi and Li Yunfeng flew along the river and entered the Thunder Canyon about halfway through the river. This was the paradise of the Thunder Elves marked on the map.
When Wang Qiyi entered this area, he felt a tingling sensation on his skin and the hair on his body stood up. There is a strong static magnetic field here.
"The entire canyon is an electrical field. No wonder electric Pokémon like to live here." Li Yunfeng looked around and saw a few Pikachus running on the ground and hundreds of Magnemites flying in groups in the sky, making the whole place dark.
The two landed in the canyon. The static electricity in the electric field made the flying Pokémon feel uncomfortable. Wang Qiyi also put the egg into the Poké Ball. The two walked in the canyon to look for the trace of Rotom.
"It's Pikachu again. This is the twentieth Pikachu I've seen. It seems like this place is full of Pikachus." Li Yunfeng looked around.
"Pikachu is a social Pokémon. They live in groups and form tribes. This area should be Pikachu's territory. If we want to find Rotom, we must find Rotom's territory." Wang Qiyi said.
"The Thunder Canyon is so big, and we can't fly on the elves. It looks like we won't be able to explore it in two or three days."
"Don't worry, we can practice elf diplomacy. I brought an electric-specific energy block. As long as we find the leading elf here and make friends with it, we can easily let it lead the way for us."
"You have this skill, kid."
"I also relied on this to bribe Elder Kuailong, and that's how I was able to subdue Dracula. Otherwise, how could I have been so successful?"
"The elder Dragonite is very picky. He even disdains the highest quality energy cubes that our family offers every year. What energy cubes do you have that can impress him?"
"Hehe, this is my exclusive secret recipe. Only the energy cubes made by Ah Dai have this quality. Even Dream can't make a taste of this level."
"Menghuan? You know Menghuan? The mythical beast Menghuan!"
"Don't be so surprised. Mew is not that magical. This guy is elusive and loves to play. Many of us have seen it, but it will transform into other elves and play in secret places all over the world. So sometimes the ordinary elves you see may be Mew, but you just can't recognize it."
"And how did you discover it?"
"This is a trade secret. I have a unique way to identify the potential of elves." Wang Qiyi smiled mysteriously.
"Boy, where do you get so many secrets?"
"Pikachu! Pika Pika..."
As Wang Qiyi and Li Yunfeng were chatting and looking for Rotom's trace, a group of Pikachus appeared in front of them. There were more than a hundred of them. One of the Pikachus blocked their way and kept barking at them.
"Is it talking to us?" Li Yunfeng didn't understand Elvish, but from the looks of it, Pikachu seemed to be saying something to them.
"It's telling us that the land behind is their habitat, and asked us not to get any closer." Several elves around Wang Qiyi can speak human language, and he has also learned a little bit of the Elvish language from them. He can roughly understand what Pikachu is saying.
After Wang Qiyi finished translating for Li Yunfeng, he turned to Pikachu and said, "Dear Pikachus, I am Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. We came here just to find a Pokémon called Rotom. Do you know where they live?"
While asking, Wang Qiyi also activated his wave power, which could establish a telepathic communication with the elves, so that the elves could quickly understand what he meant. At the same time, he also took out an electric-specific energy block and handed it to Pikachu.
Pikachu smelled the energy cube in Wang Qiyi's hand and immediately became interested. Wang Qiyi's friendly waveguide made it feel very friendly, so it didn't guard and immediately reached out to take Wang Qiyi's energy cube. The Pikachus nearby looked at this place curiously, and saw that Pikachu put the energy cube into his mouth with a happy expression. The other Pikachus were no longer reserved and immediately rushed over to ask for the energy cube.
"Okay, okay, we have everything. Just remember to lead the way for us later." Wang Qiyi took out a box of energy cubes and distributed them to the Pikachus.
"Pikachu! Pikachu!" Suddenly a Pikachu on the high stone platform shouted loudly, scaring the Pikachus who were begging for food. Everyone stopped what they were doing. A Pikachu rushed to the platform and presented the energy block to the shouting Pikachu. It was obvious that this Pikachu was the leader of this group.
Wang Qiyi waved to the leader Pikachu and said, "Hello, Pikachu, I'm Xiaozhi from Pallet Town. I want to ask you about a Pokémon called Rotom. It probably looks like this." Wang Qiyi said as he took out a sloppy portrait of Rotom that he had drawn.
"As a token of my appreciation, I give you these delicious energy cubes." Wang Qiyi said as he released friendly wave power.
However, the leader Pikachu did not take the energy block from his subordinate Pikachu, but stared at Wang Qiyi blankly, his eyes flickering, as if he had something to say to Wang Qiyi.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wang Qiyi looked at himself, then looked at Li Yunfeng in confusion. Li Yunfeng shrugged at him to show that he didn't know the situation. "Do you have something to say to me?"
"Pika Pika, Pikachu!" Pikachu seemed a little excited. It rushed to Wang Qiyi, and a faint electric light was released from its cheeks. The electric current hit Wang Qiyi, paralyzing him for a moment. At the same time, a telepathic wave was transmitted to Wang Qiyi's mind.
"What did you say your name was? Where are you from?" Wang Qiyi heard the message Pikachu conveyed to him.
Wang Qiyi was also stunned when he heard this. He seemed to sense something. Seeing Pikachu's eyes and the emotional power contained in the information conveyed, he felt that this was a very strong bond. With such a strong bond, this Pikachu must be very strong.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he murmured, "I am Xiaozhi from Pallet Town..."
"Pikachu!" Pikachu suddenly threw itself into Wang Qiyi's arms with tears in its eyes, and Wang Qiyi hugged it unconsciously.
"Do you two know each other?" Li Yunfeng was puzzled. How did Wang Qiyi know the wild Pikachu in a secret realm in the Kingdom of Eagle?
"I... can say I know him, or I can say I don't know him." Wang Qiyi stammered, "Maybe it recognized the wrong person."
Pikachu rubbed against Wang Qiyi for a while, then suddenly jumped down and waved to him to follow. Wang Qiyi and Li Yunfeng looked at each other, and they both followed, followed by dozens of Pikachus. After passing through a bush, they saw a flat grassland where hundreds of Pikachus, as well as Pichus and Raichus, lived. They played and frolicked here, making it a paradise for Pikachus.
Seeing a stranger coming in, all the Pikachus became alert for a moment, but when they saw that it was a human led by Leader Pikachu, everyone returned to normal and continued playing, as if they had great trust in Leader Pikachu.
Pikachu led Wang Qiyi and Li Yunfeng to a cave. The cave was short and small, which was very convenient for the short Pikachu to enter. Wang Qiyi wanted to crawl in, and Li Yunfeng suggested guarding the cave entrance.
The cave was dark, but Pikachu's flashing light illuminated a small area around it. Wang Qiyi followed him to the depths of the cave, and Pikachu dug out a wooden box from the ground and pointed at it.
Wang Qiyi took out the wooden box and slowly opened it. Inside was a hat that was severely faded and almost decayed. Judging from its shape, it should be a sun hat. Wang Qiyi didn't dare to touch it, for fear that it would break into pieces. He carefully identified it and found some faint red stains on it. It should have been a red sun hat.
