Chapter 1327 Luring Ya Xuan
"Nuomi!"
Amidst the terrified cries of many Xi Cui Nian Mei Long and Nian Mei Er.
They became captives of the Shiny Gengar, their eyes covered by a pinkish-purple halo, their expressions dazed, and their bodies swaying.
Gengar waved its fat claws, and the Goodra instantly lined up to jump into the river like puppets, splashing up large sprays of water, with only their heads showing.
"Is he really the champion?"
Ya Xuan couldn't help but turn his head and ask.
Zhu Lan smiled slightly, "If no one is impersonating him, it should be that Champion Oule."
Ya Xuan remained silent.
Would a normal champion randomly hypnotize a wild Pokémon and force it to guide them to their habitat?
This is something only a Pokémon hunter would do!
Although he knew that Kashiwagi's actions had averted a near-conflict, he was still somewhat curious.
He then asked, "Bai Mu, you've gone to their habitat, what are you planning to do next?"
"Let's go take a look."
Kashiwagi gave him a strange look. "We're all here now, and Nianmeilong and Nianmei'er have noticed us. We can't just come here for nothing, can we?"
Since there's no information about Heatran on Iron Island anyway, taking a look at the current living conditions of the wild Green Golem won't be a complete waste of time.
The search process may have been a little unpleasant, but Kashiwagi believed it wasn't a big problem.
The grain-distributing boys are already itching to get started!
Upon hearing Kashiwagi's response, Yaxuan finally understood that his purpose was to conduct a Pokémon ecological observation...
Such activities are quite common, as the unique ecological environment of Steel Island often attracts research groups from all over the world to form teams and conduct activities.
But no one would do what Kashiwagi did—it's like holding a gun to a polar bear's head and saying you want to observe its daily activities!
Ya Xuan unconsciously glanced at Zhu Lan again.
Zhu Lan crossed her arms and smiled, "I have 100% trust in Bai Mu, so no matter how illogical or even shocking his actions may be, I can understand them."
She had learned about Ou Lei privately and knew that it was no easy feat for Bai Mu to achieve what he had today in that kind of living environment.
Perhaps some of his behaviors are a bit peculiar, but Zhu Lan believes that Bai Mu has a heart of gold.
My fondness for Pokémon is definitely genuine.
Ya Xuan's eyes flickered. Of course, he could also "see" Bai Mu's kindness; the wave guide had already told him everything.
This is also one of the main reasons why he and Lucario remained silent and watched.
"Gentlemen, it's time to set off."
Kashiwa shared the miniature scuba gear and diving goggles inside Gengar's belly, saying, "Polygonus II will protect our clothes from getting wet."
Ya Xuan took the Poké Ball, glanced at it, and then said to Lucario, "Come back."
The structure of the scuba gear is only suitable for humans. Although Lucario can swim and is even better at diving, who knows whether Goodra's habitat is underwater or on land? It would be best to recall it just to be safe.
Cynthia turned to look at Garchomp, and Garchomp looked at her too.
"You're not going to drown, are you?"
"..."
What? The Pokémon you went swimming with in the pool this summer wasn't me?
Ignoring her partner's silent gaze, Zhu Lan said, "Let's go, don't keep Bai Mu waiting."
"Crack!"
Not far away, the cypress trees had already been submerged in the water.
With only his head showing among the large group of sticky dragons and sticky girls, the scene was surprisingly harmonious.
Zhu Lan couldn't help but chuckle, "I never knew you had such a cute side."
"cute?"
Cypress was puzzled.
Zhu Lan didn't say anything more. She put on her scuba gear and diving mask, grabbed Garchomp's arm, and they both fell into the water.
puff!
Water splashed high into the air.
Ya Xuan was a little slower; he was still protecting the hat on his head.
The three exchanged glances and nodded to each other. With the help of the illumination from their multi-faceted cell phones and the protection of their mental power, they followed the hypnotized group of Emerald Dragons and slowly swam towards their habitat.
During the process, Kashiwagi sensed subtle changes in the water pressure around them, indicating that they were heading deeper into the river.
Could the habitat be a riverbed?
Can the green-spotted wrasse survive underwater for extended periods?
Kashiwagi's conjecture was quickly refuted by reality. They did indeed touch the riverbed, but in the blink of an eye, they found a cave along the riverbed, and the Washing Green Dragons lined up to crawl inside.
The three followed closely behind, sometimes going down and sometimes up, going around and around until it was impossible to tell which side was the sky and which side was the ground.
More than two minutes later, light came from above.
Puff puff!
Bai Mu and the others couldn't wait to emerge from the water with Xi Cui and the sticky dragons, and glimpsed a new world.
It was another spacious cave, slightly larger and more regular than the previous one, without as many holes dug out by the giant steel snake.
The walls were covered with moss that emitted a faint glow, illuminating this little corner of the world.
You can see that only two Goomys remain in the habitat, while the rest are Goomys the size of footballs. In the corner, several Pokémon eggs are carefully kept, waiting to hatch.
When Xi Cui Nian Mei Er, who was left behind, saw Bai Mu and the others, she was startled at first. Then she ran towards the hypnotized Xi Cui Nian Mei dragons, with the Nian Nian Bao following behind, their expressions full of panic.
"Gengar."
Kashiwa snapped his fingers.
Gengar immediately released the hypnotic control, putting most of the Goodra to sleep, with only a small number remaining awake.
They all jolted suddenly, and when they realized where they were, they let out a low growl of fear and anger.
"Lulu!!"
"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm..."
Yaxuan raised his hand and used Aura to soothe the Pokémon, while Kashiwagi also sent out Blissey, which shook a healing bell that could calm the Pokémon's heart.
Thanks to their combined efforts, the anger of the Washing Jade Sticky Dragons dissipated, and they protected Sticky Beauty and Sticky Treasure behind them, their expressions showing only vigilance.
With this foundation established.
Kashiwagi, holding a Pokémon egg, began feeding it, pouring out large amounts of pre-prepared Pokémon food along with the Blissey.
Ya Xuan frowned unconsciously upon seeing this method—
It actually works!
He was dumbfounded to find that the wild sticky creatures ate the food thrown to them without hesitation, even causing a scramble for it.
They couldn't stop Nianmeilong and Nianmeier, and then they stopped trying.
Because they started grabbing things too!
Ya Xuan couldn't help but ask Bai Mu, who was happily tossing food, "What did you add to it?"
"Onions—cough cough, lots of precious ingredients plus a little bit of cooking skills." He swallowed back the joke that the Pokémon world clearly couldn't understand.
The secret seasoning is being used up little by little now, but once the Taijing Tree transplanted from Zone Zero can grow naturally, there will be no shortage of the secret seasoning from now on.
Ya Xuan shamelessly asked for a few, tasting one himself and handing the others to Lucario after releasing it.
"Ouch!?"
Lucario was initially cautious about putting it in his mouth, but soon his eyes turned green from eating it.
What an amazing delicacy!
The waveguide materialized as if in response, suppressing Lucario's gluttonous desires.
terrible!
Lucario looked at Kashiwagi warily, but Kashiwagi thought it wanted more food and generously handed it a handful. "This is a special food for Steel-type Pokémon. All my Pokémon love it. Don't be shy."
"Gulu!"
Lucario swallowed hard, raising its paw to refuse.
Ya Xuan said, "Take it, Lucario. This is also a token of Kashiwagi's goodwill."
"Woo..."
Upon hearing this, Lucario no longer hesitated and began to enjoy his meal in silence.
Meanwhile, Zhu Lan is observing the damp, moss-covered wall.
She took out her phone for light, gently peeled away the moss, put on gloves, and softly stroked the texture. Excitedly, she turned her head and said, "Cypress wood! It's an ancient relic!"
"what?"
Bai Mu stopped throwing the grain, and Duobian's phone quickly moved closer to scan the wall in front of Zhu Lan.
Sure enough, the marks and patterns were left by human intervention!
Zhu Lan said happily, "It might have been built by the same civilization as the ruins above, and due to geological changes, it sank deep underground—"
A key trait of archaeologists in the Pokémon world: a talent for imaginative thinking.
After all, time cannot be reversed, and archaeological discoveries only reveal a part of history; the rest depends on imagination and speculation.
What if I guess right?
Zhu Lan quickly launched a further investigation, carefully and meticulously peeling away the moss to expose the entire surrounding wall.
Yagen and Lucario spontaneously began to help, while Kashiwagi sent out the two fat guys and the clone of the Pokémon.
He then approached the Blue Goodra and showed them the Pokémon egg in his arms, saying, "I need to clear up this misunderstanding. This isn't your companion; it's mine... well, it should be considered mine."
The phone can be used in two ways: translating and recording the murals on the wall at the same time.
After the dragons finished eating the food he gave them, their eyes became much clearer, and they were at least able to listen to what he said.
The group of giant snails surrounded the cypress tree and began to carefully touch the Pokémon egg with their tentacles. One of the Goodies crawled over to its own Pokémon egg.
In Kashiwagi's arms, the Pokémon eggs swayed gently, as if responding to their touch.
A few seconds later, Xi Cui and the other dragons looked at each other in bewilderment.
This egg...
It doesn't seem to be them!
Although they look very similar, their feel and smell are only similar, not any of them as they recognize them.
Sticky Meow returned, confirming the number of eggs—not one more, not one less.
"Nuomi!"
The leader of the Washi Nymphs began to suspect that the egg originated from the Washi Nymph group that had been taken away.
Kashiwa gradually realized that the place they had just been in was not the nest of the Nymphaloids, but their activity area.
Before humans set foot in that cave, they often used the underground river to travel between the various caves. Who would have thought that the dome of one of them would suddenly collapse?
At the time, they didn't pay much attention and continued to play there. As a result, they were taken away by trainers sent by the Sinnoh League and sent to a remote protected area.
The green dragons were unaware of their companions' whereabouts and were saddened for a long time. They didn't dare to play nearby for a long time and only dared to secretly observe from the water. As a result, they encountered a cypress tree washing eggs by the river.
"Your companions? Hmm, they've probably gone off to enjoy themselves."
Kashiwagi commented.
Putting aside the limitation on activity range, the protected areas established by the alliance are superior to the natural environment in the wild in all aspects.
The people of Xicui and Nianmeilong didn't quite understand the meaning of enjoying happiness, even after Duobian patiently explained it several times.
Just then, a clingy little girl suddenly had a whimsical idea, "Numei?"
Can I eat as much of that stuff as I want?
"Uh, no."
Kashiwa had to explain to them that he wasn't with the group that had taken their companions away, and how precious the food was.
Nianmeilong and Nianmeier understood, "Nuomi!"
It means that if you follow me, you can eat your fill!
Kashiwagi: "...You're right."
Although what he made still suited the tastes of Bosscodora and the others, it was clear that they no longer felt the same joy and amazement as when they first tasted it.
This is a typical example of someone who has eaten so much delicious food that they feel like throwing up.
no way.
Extensive training leads to significant energy depletion, necessitating ample nutrition to maintain combat effectiveness.
Those who received accurate answers then engaged in face-to-face communication.
Kashiwagi stopped eavesdropping and turned his attention back to the frenzied Zhu Lan.
The female champion was clearly in work mode, and sometimes when Ya Xuan called her, she might not get a response immediately, muttering something to herself as if she were possessed.
He walked over to take a look and discovered that he could vaguely understand the fragmented text on it.
Without a doubt, it is the ancient script that the calligrapher studied.
Cypress couldn't help but join in, starting to study what was written on the wall. However, the ground was too damp, and there was a large patch of moss growing, so many of the words were already blurred and illegible.
He had no choice but to guess and translate at the same time, muttering the same words as Zhu Lan.
Ya Xuan's expression was strange, "These two..."
"Serious adventures and research, by the way, how about becoming a teacher?"
After promoting the multi-faceted mobile phone, they didn't forget to recruit teachers for the trainers' school.
To be honest, Ya Xuan was quite interested after listening to its story.
He had been on Steel Island for ten years, and occasionally thought about going out for a while, but couldn't find a suitable reason.
Becoming a teacher? Perhaps that's a good option.
"Let me think about it."
Ya Xuan said with a smile.
Not far away, the Swampyra and the other Grimmsnarls started making a ruckus. The ones that had been hypnotized by Gengar woke up and joined in the noise.
Cypress and Bamboo seemed to be in a trance the whole time, completely undisturbed.
Ya Xuan went to mediate, only to discover that the reason for their argument was actually a discussion about whether or not to go with Bai Mu.
Ok?
what happened?
He learned through careful questioning that many of the Sticky Babies had been captivated by the food provided by the Cypress Tree, and the Multi-Phone's explanation of "enjoying happiness" made them think that leaving this place was not a bad idea.
Perhaps I can even meet those lost companions.
The other wave was outright opposition, with one even revealing a secret—
They must live here, relying on the underground river, in order to continue to thrive; they are Pokémon blessed by the gods.
Ya Xuan didn't understand. Was divine favor something that had to be relied upon through an underground river?
However, even the sticky dragon that said this didn't understand. It had heard it from another sticky dragon, who had disappeared into an underground river one day and never returned.
Like many of his companions.
Ya Xuan remained silent, knowing the implied meaning behind it.
"Pokémon favored by the gods..."
"I see!"
"I know too!"
Zhu Lan and Bai Mu suddenly exclaimed excitedly at the same time. They looked at each other and said, "It was definitely worth the trip!"
"So this was it all along! The steel slab!"
