So far, Gary hasn't caught a single Dragon-type Pokémon. He's already traveled all the way to the Hoenn region, so he should catch at least one Dragon-type Pokémon by now.
"It seems there are no Dragon-type Pokémon on this level of the entrance." After searching around, Gary couldn't find a single Dragon-type Pokémon. The only Pokémon on this level of the entrance were Zubat and Solrock.
Since it's daytime now, Sunrock comes out to bask in the sun. At night, Moonstone will come out. These two Pokémon only need sunlight and moonlight to fill up their energy, making them quite easy to raise.
"Giganotosaurus, you dig the hole." Gary released Giganotosaurus.
"Roar!"
The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex looked at the ground and immediately began digging a hole.
Xiao Mao stood right next to the cave entrance, watching.
Xiao Mao originally planned to find a way to the lower level, but after searching around, he couldn't find one, so he had no choice but to dig a tunnel.
Meteor Falls isn't very deep underground. The Tyrannosaurus Rex sensed the depth and quickly broke through to the next level. Gary also followed the opening into the next level.
Upon arriving underground, it was naturally pitch black. Shigeru shone his flashlight, and the first thing he saw was a large number of Moonstones.
[LV30 Moonstone/Gym]
[LV21 Moonstone/Common]
[LV33 Moonstone/Elite]
...!
So many moonstones!
Xiao Mao was surprised. It seemed that the moonstones that had been hidden during the day had all gathered here. However, Xiao Mao was puzzled. He couldn't find an entrance above, so how did these moonstones get underground?
If the person entered the underground using the digging skill, then so many moonstones would definitely cause the ground to collapse, which means that there must be another entrance on the level above the entrance.
324: Meteor Falls! Armored Dragon!
"You've worked hard, come in and rest."
Shigeru recalled his Giganotosaurus into its Poké Ball, grabbed a flashlight, and followed Eevee as they searched underground.
The underground area was pitch black. In addition to the moonstone, some supersonic bats and bigmouth bats were also found. Like the moonstone, they were all sleeping.
Xiao Mao didn't disturb them. He followed the sound of the flowing water to find the water source, because Pokémon need to drink water, and he could find more different kinds of Pokémon near the water.
With Eevee by his side, Gary had no trouble getting through. When they encountered obstacles, Eevee could simply use its Psychic ability to move them aside. When they needed to climb, Eevee would float Gary across with it.
As long as it's not a dead end, Xiao Mao always finds a way to get through.
Soon, Xiao Mao arrived at the underground river. He shone his flashlight into the river and found that the water was crystal clear, and he could see the spirits in the river.
【LV25 Magikarp ♂/Normal】
【LV18 Horned Goldfish♀/Normal】
【LV15 Mud Loach - ♂/Normal】
...!
The Pokémon in the river are all fairly common, including Magikarp and Goldeen, while Mudskipper is also a very common Pokémon in the Hoenn region.
"It seems there really are people living here." Xiao Mao walked along the river and found that the paths on both sides of the river were very fast and did not look like naturally formed paths. It was obvious that someone had maintained them.
This reminded Shigeru of the Meteor Village. Could it be that he had just randomly chosen a passage and knocked on it to find the entrance to the Meteor Village?
As Xiao Mao walked, he reached the end of the river, where there was a small waterfall, but nothing else particularly special.
"It seems we'll have to keep digging."
Without much thought, Shigeru found a relatively dry spot and released the Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Boom! !
Just as the Tyrannosaurus Rex was about to dig a hole, it saw the ground not far in front of it crack open, revealing a white shell. When its body was completely emerging from the ground...
【LV35 Armored Dragon ♂/Champion】
"Holy crap!! An armored dragon!!"
Xiao Mao was stunned; he never expected to encounter an armored dragon here.
The armored dragon was also confused, but when it saw the light, it immediately spotted Shigeru.
The next moment, the armored dragon instinctively wanted to escape and immediately burrowed back.
"Don't let it get here. Use your mental power to control it," Xiao Mao quickly commanded.
This is a crustacean I searched for for ages before finally finding it. How could I let it get away? It even has champion potential! That's amazing.
"Bah!"
Eevee used Psychic to pull the Shellder, which was halfway inside, out and threw it onto a nearby rock wall.
The armored dragon didn't fall. Its hard shell protected it from most of the damage. Enraged by the attack, the armored dragon glared at Shigeru and charged straight at him, though its speed was rather pathetic—too slow.
"Super Iron Tyrannosaurus, use a weaker Ice Punch," Gary commanded.
Shigeru was worried that the heavy freezing punch would kill the Armored Dragon.
The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus was speechless as it watched the Armored Dragon slowly swimming towards it, so it walked up and punched it.
Bah! !
The armored dragon, struck by the freezing fist, was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground. This time, it did not get up and lost consciousness.
"Go, Poké Ball!" Gary had already taken out his Pokémon. Seeing Shellder fall down, he threw the Poké Ball out.
Bah! !
The Poké Ball hit Shellder perfectly, then bounced away...!
"Huh? What's going on?"
Shigeru was stunned. Why did the Poké Ball bounce off after hitting him? This didn't make sense.
Could it be...!
Xiao Mao immediately went to the side of the Armored Dragon. The Armored Dragon had its eyes closed, clearly indicating that it had lost its ability to fight.
Unconvinced, Shigeru picked up the Poké Ball that had just bounced away, turned the switch side towards Shellder, and gently pressed it. The Poké Ball opened, and he tried to catch the Pokémon, but a layer of red light appeared on Shellder's body, preventing the Poké Ball from catching it.
"It's taken!"
Xiao Mao frowned deeply. He never expected that the armored dragon in front of him would have an owner.
"Who is this? They have such a precious armored dragon and they're not even keeping an eye on it. Where did they go?" Xiao Mao asked, looking puzzled.
This is underground, and the armored dragon just crawled out from underground, which means it crawled up from the next level.
Could its trainer still be underground?
"Super Iron Tyrannosaurus, dig down into the hole dug by the Shellder," said Shigeru.
· ·Request flowers·· ·········
The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus nodded, walked to the cave entrance where the Shellder had come out, and began to dig downwards. Shigeru took out a spray and sprayed the Shellder with the spray.
Although the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus didn't use its full strength, it still managed to knock out the Shellder Dragon's fighting ability. It will take some time for the Shellder Dragon to wake up, so it can only keep it by its side for now.
"Eevee, it's time to hone your mental strength. Use Psychic to drag Shellder down." Gary said.
"Buyi??"
Eevee stared wide-eyed at the Shellder Dragon, which was even bigger than itself. Thinking that there shouldn't be a big problem, it used its psychic powers to levitate the Shellder Dragon. However, Eevee soon realized that something was wrong; the Shellder Dragon was quite heavy.
Don't let the small size of the Shellder Dragon fool you; it's quite heavy, weighing over 200 pounds. However, that weight is nothing for Eevee, who usually trains his Nen by lifting cars.
0.....0
Even Xiao Mao can easily lift a 200-pound weight, so a mere armored dragon is nothing.
With the help of the Shellder to clear the road, the Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex easily dug through it. Eevee had to use Psychic to move all the soil out of the hole, and the passage was completely opened.
Eevee used its psychic powers to drag Gary and Shellder through the passage to a lower level.
"Strange, there's light!" Upon reaching the next level, Xiao Mao was surprised because there was a faint light source on this level, allowing him to see the interior more clearly.
Xiao Mao searched around for a source of light and discovered that the glow was emitted by a type of green crystal inside.
What kind of stone is this?
Xiao Mao curiously approached the green stones, but he had no recollection of such stones at all.
"Super Iron Tyrannosaurus, smash this rock!" said Shigeru.
"Roar!"
Before the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex could get close to the green crystal, it smashed the crystal with a single blow. Shigeru took out a bottle and collected a few pieces of the green crystal, planning to study them later after they left.
"Hmph!!"
At that moment, the armored dragon suddenly woke up and, realizing that it could not move, groaned a few times.
"Boohoo!" Upon seeing this, Eevee immediately placed Shellder on the ground, but still used psychic powers to restrain it to prevent it from causing trouble.
325: Meteor Dwellers, Higana
"He recovered pretty quickly." Xiao Mao looked at the awakened armored dragon. He had been worried that the guy would take a while to wake up, but he woke up in less than an hour.
Xiao Mao walked up to the Shellder Dragon, gave it a friendly smile, and said, "Shellder Dragon, I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I thought you were a wild Pokémon and wanted to catch you, so I attacked you. Please forgive me."
The armored dragon was initially worried that Shigeru might do something to it, but it was a little confused when it saw how friendly he was suddenly.
Seeing the stunned armored dragon, Xiao Mao could tell that this armored dragon was naive and had not yet experienced the deceit and treachery of humans, and seemed easy to fool.
"To express my apology, here are some specially made energy cubes that can help you recover faster." Xiao Mao took out two energy cubes and handed them to the armored dragon's mouth.
Meanwhile, the "050" shell dragon stared blankly at the energy cube in Xiao Mao's hand, showing no interest in eating it.
"Why aren't you eating...?" Xiao Mao was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized something and apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you can't eat in your current condition."
After a baby dragon evolves into a shelled dragon, it cannot eat or drink. Its body surface will automatically absorb energy from the outside world and accumulate enough energy for evolution in its body.
The armored dragon was speechless; the human in front of it seemed quite unreliable.
"Shellion, please don't mind. I know you have a trainer. Could you take me to see your trainer so I can return you to him?"
