It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 372 Acting Alone, Strange Underground Cave
When he came to the temporary stronghold on the edge of the deep cave, Millerton stopped and immediately attracted the attention of some motorcycle lizards staying here, but the cold temperament he exuded prevented them from approaching.

Millerton noticed their awe of him, but he didn't care about it. At this moment, he was more concerned about the crystal energy gushing out from the huge deep cave with a diameter of more than 50 meters in front of him.

After Hoshino got off it, he looked over there silently, but unfortunately, even with the waveguide, he couldn't see or feel the Taijing energy at all.

"It's really strange..."

He definitely wouldn't suspect that Millerton's feeling was wrong. As a legendary Pokémon in the Padia area, he was naturally a professional counterpart in this area, so it was very likely that something happened next.

At this time, after seeing the deep cave surrounded by guardrails in front of her, Liliai glanced at the deep darkness below, and her expression was extremely shocking: "This is too big, it seems like some kind of force that dug out the surface of the earth." It's like a big hole..."

"Yes, it's really scary. I was taken aback when I saw it for the first time, but don't get too close, and be careful not to fall."

Nemo said with a smile, then put her hands on her hips, and continued to speak: "Let's go, go to the principal first."

"Ok!"

Several people walked towards the tent not far away, while Hoshino was still focusing on the deep cave, thinking about possible problems.

But just as they approached, the tent door was suddenly pulled open, and a yellow-skinned duck wobbled out of it with its tail cocked. After seeing a few people, it stopped and stared at them blankly. .

"Ok?"

Sensing the line of sight, Hoshino came back to his senses, looking at the Kodak duck with its head tilted, he was a little surprised, and waved his hand to say hello: "Isn't this Mr. Duck? Long time no see, why did you come so far? Didn't you work in the library today?"

Before Koda Duck responded, Pipa explained: "The college library has the largest number of books in the world, and some of them record the legend of Marie Gioia, and Mr. Duck is very clear about the placement of each book. location, if you want to find these books, you must ask it to help deliver it."

"That's right, but for things like delivering things, it's okay to ask the students in the supply class to help?"

"Maybe Teacher Ya is also interested in the deep caves in the desert? But the weather here is so hot, isn't Teacher Ya afraid of drying out?"

Lillie also asked curiously, water-type Pokémon generally don't like places like deserts, let alone Pokémon like Kodak that likes a humid environment to keep their skin moist and smooth.

"Ah..."

In response to everyone's curiosity, Koda Duck just held his head and continued to look dumbfounded, then his eyes suddenly swept away, as if staying there for a while, and then he took small steps and left.

Seeing it go away, Li Liai covered her face and said with a smile, "Mr. Duck is so cute."

When mentioning this, Nimo remembered something, and said with a smile: "Mr. Duck is very popular in the college. I conducted a teacher popularity ranking in the school before, and Mr. Duck was even more than 100 votes ahead of Mr. Mimosa, winning the popularity in one fell swoop." First!"

"That's so good? By the way, speaking of Teacher Mimosha, didn't she want to take the exam as a nursing teacher and go ashore? Have you passed the exam now?"

"I passed the exam last year, and I have started formally teaching students in the first half of this year."

"That would be really nice."

Several people walked into the tent talking and laughing, only Hoshino touched his chin, his eyes still stayed on the direction where the duck left, because it always felt that the last sight of the yellow duck was on him.

As early as a few years ago, he had suspected that this Kodak duck was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kabukicho. It happened that one of the Four Heavenly Kings was represented by Cong Youbing. They were all ducks, and they were somewhat related.

With some guesses in his mind, he followed the others and walked into the tent...

Because it was built temporarily, there was not much decoration inside the tent. It looked a bit like a combat meeting room during a war, so there were some tables and chairs.

Clavell, who hadn't seen him for a long time, was sitting in the front seat with a computer in front of him. He seemed to be reporting work to someone, and his expression was a little tired, which showed the pressure during this time.

"Students are missing, the headmaster is worried about the students, and at the same time he has to be busy with the work of the college. It's really hard. I think it's still..."

Li Liai sighed softly, but before she could finish her sentence, a very familiar voice suddenly came from the front: "Minasang~ It's time for Qishu Qishu's live broadcast again~ Sorrah~ Good morning, noon and evening~ "

"???"

"I think he has a lot of free time."

Hoshino smiled and shook his head, but when he heard the voice, Clavell suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly exited Qishu's live broadcast room, got up pretending nothing had happened, then put his hands behind his back and coughed lightly.

"Hoshino-san, are you here...Why don't you say hello when you enter the door? Be careful next time, knock on the door before entering."

"I thought there was no door for me to knock on. I just pushed it lightly and came in."

"..."

Clavell coughed again, and the tent seemed to be quiet for a while, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward. He also quickly changed the subject and asked, "Are you going down to find the treasure hunter?"

"That's right, so come and say it."

"That's all right, please be careful. If you have any questions, you can go to the archaeological team below. Teacher Leihe is also there to help, but I still need to remind you of some things."

"Ok?"

"Because it is very dark deep underground, the archaeological team chose to plant bright flowers to illuminate all the way in order to avoid destroying the ancient monuments. If you want to explore unknown areas, you'd better bring a Pokémon that can flash to avoid encountering Danger."

Clavier reminded in a serious tone that this is also his belief in the strength of the few of them. If other students came, they would probably be driven away without giving them a chance to go down.

After all, if you are used to being free in the Padia region, it is easy to have a sense of comfort, and feel that you can spend money to lure people to come here at any time if there is an accident, but in this unknown area, no one knows what happened, so he I dare not let the students be reckless.

"We get it."

"Well, safety is the most important thing. Anyway, you are not newcomer trainers. If you can, help find those missing students below. Although I don't know if they survived, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can't give up. .”

As he spoke, Clavell sighed softly, shook his head, then suddenly thought of something, and continued: "One more thing, there was news from over there this morning that there are wild Pokémon living in the deep cave, but these Pokémon Most of the Kemengs are rather strange... and I don't know why, they obviously have the energy of the crystals, but there is no way to use the crystals."

"Huh? Is it so strange?"

"Yes, and this deep cave may be bigger and deeper than we imagined. At present, they are still exploring down, and it has exceeded 800 meters!"

"Eh? I remember the Great Pit of Padia..."

"The distance from the starting point of the Padia giant crater to the ground is only 800 meters, and the deepest part is already [-] meters underground... But the two places are far apart, so there is no relationship."

Claver shook his head. At first, they did guess that there might be some kind of connection between the deep cave and the giant pit, but they denied it later. After all, there is not even a single crystal crystal that can be used for lighting in the deep cave. It's just the other way around.

After learning about the news, they prepared to leave and continued to watch Qishu's live broadcast without disturbing the principal.

When he came outside the tent, Nemo crossed his waist and sighed softly, and said, "I still need to prepare a Pokémon that can flash. Suddenly, it feels like a renaissance. I need to go to the Pokémon Center to exchange it."

"Let's prepare a few high-power flashlights... By the way, there are also ingredients to prepare, so go back to Glass Bottle City first?"

After thinking for a while, Paipa suggested that neither Lillie nor Nemo had any objections. Being in danger is a trivial matter, but if you are hungry, it will be a serious matter.

But Hoshino didn't intend to go with them, and decided to stay here and wait for them, because he wanted to observe the deep cave for a while, and what Millerton told him still made him more concerned.

Seeing that he wanted to stay and observe more, the others didn't have any opinions. After asking if there was anything they needed to help bring, they went back to Glass Bottle City to prepare together...

In a blink of an eye, only Hoshino was left here. He retracted his gaze and focused on the bottomless hole in front of him. He grabbed the guardrail with both hands and looked there calmly under the scorching sun.

Xinye Miao fell asleep on his head, and the hair absorbed the sunlight to carry out photosynthesis automatically, exuding a fresh and sweet smell, making people forget the heat inadvertently, and the whole person relaxed.

Millerton also came to the side, with a rare solemn expression, as if he was very concerned about the situation in the deep cave, and it seemed to sense something...

Hoshino stroked his chin and fell into deep thought. He thought of what Kravel said just now. The bottom of the deep cave cannot be too crystallized, and there is no Taijing crystal lighting formed by the condensation of Taijing energy.

But Millerton also felt it before, although the Taijing energy here is weird, but its purity is extremely high!

And in this case, the interior of the deep cave should be full of crystals like the diamond mine country is full of diamonds, but why is this?
While thinking about this in his mind, Hoshino suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that Millerton was about to climb over the guardrail and head towards the deep cave ten meters away!

"Don't run around, wait for them!"

"Moligo!"

Millerton responded in a deep voice. It felt that there was something below that was attracting it, but it couldn't remember what it was.

"Something is attracting you? Could it be related to your memory?"

"Moli..."

"...Okay then, don't run around, I'll go with you to have a look."

Hoshino hugged the sleeping Xinyemei in his arms. Since Millerton cared so much, he was going to go down to the deep cave to have a look first, and just wait for Lillie and the others to come over.

"Moli~"

"Let's go!"

As he said that, Hoshino rode on Millerton. At this time, a guard noticed their actions and was about to stop him, but he didn't stop at all, and jumped forward while riding Millerton.

Only then did he turn his head away and waved to these people with a smile, and shouted, "Don't worry, I've already said hello. When my companion comes over, please tell me that I've gone down, thank you!"

After the words fell, Millerton transformed into a gliding mode, and rushed towards the bottomless darkness below, leaving only the guards outside the guardrail, standing there with their hands outstretched.

Not far away, an onion ranger standing above the tent was looking at this side sharply. After staring for a while, he turned and left...

Discovered - the deep caves of the dry desert!

A line of words suddenly appeared on the map of Rotom on the mobile phone, indicating that it is a new location, and the map will be updated at any time, but there is no detailed map of the deep cave.

Hoshino did not let Millerton rush down quickly, but maintained a normal gliding speed, and he observed the surrounding situation.

"Although I don't know much about geography, there is indeed no trace of Taijing crystals here, and Taijing beads..."

He was holding the Taijing Bead in his hand to confirm something. When he descended about 200 meters, the Taijing Bead had completely turned off. It was similar to the change when he left Padia, but there was a difference!
After leaving Padia, the Taijing energy stored in the Taijing Pearl will gradually dissipate, but it doesn't exist now. Instead, it seems that there is a special force that prevents the Taijing energy from resonating!

"It should be the weird crystal energy that Millerton mentioned, right? The lack of crystal crystals here is probably related to this..."

Hoshino continued to observe the surroundings, and found that there were many glowing flowers growing on the stone wall, dispelling the surrounding darkness. This is what Claver called the bright flower, which is a special kind of plant that usually only grows in the form of seeds in caves .

The seeds are planted on the ground, and after being hit, they will bloom and glow, and they will disappear after a few days. They will not have any impact on the environment, and they can also use the power of grass-type Pokémon to maintain time.

"It's so strange, it looks like it came out of some other game..."

For a moment, Millerton had slowly landed on the sandy ground below with Hoshino, but at this moment, it seemed to be somewhere in the deep cave, and something seemed to sense its presence.

Then suddenly, a strong vibration struck, and there seemed to be some unusual changes in the entire deep cave. The vibration lasted for about three seconds and then dissipated, but Hoshino was already covered with sand.

"what's the situation?"

He looked around in bewilderment, and under his feet was the sand and soil left over from the previous collapse, which had already been excavated to find the missing students.

It's a pity that after watching for a long time, I didn't find any abnormalities. Maybe it's just a coincidence?But I've heard that there hasn't been an earthquake since the collapse here.

"..."

He didn't get out of the car, but with these questions, he raised his head and looked around. The underground space was very large, and it was too dark to see clearly in the distance. Even if his waveguide tried to go out, he couldn't perceive the end.

However, some Pokémon living here were found, and there were also many bright flowers, indicating that the archaeological team had explored the place, but they did not perceive them, and they should have explored far away.

"It's very big~"

Hoshino smiled softly, and didn't think about the earthquake just now, and he didn't know why. This mysterious and unknown place can easily arouse a person's desire to explore, perhaps because he is not afraid of possible dangers.

Millerton glanced around, as if he was trying to find the thing that attracted him, but the place was too big and full of weird crystal energy, it couldn't tell where it was.

"Moli..."

"Don't worry, look for it slowly, we don't lack time, first go around and check the situation."

Hoshino patted its head, then rode it for a stroll around, and at the same time continued to observe the surroundings, looking for useful clues...

They walked downhill in the direction of Guangminghua. At this time, Hoshino discovered something very interesting, that is, there are many huge plant rhizomes underground, which grow interspersed, and some even grow upwards, as if supporting ground.

These rhizomes can't help but remind him of the big rhizomes that Kigard made in Miare City last year. They are very similar, but this one has a much more normal color and grows in the sand.

Maybe it's because this place is underground in the desert, sand can be seen everywhere, and from time to time there is sand washed down from above like a stream of water, allowing Hoshino to take a "comfortable" bath, with sand all over his head.

However, the temperature underground was low. Although there was no wind at all, the quiet environment still made Hoshino shiver inadvertently from time to time.

On the way, he found some traces of broken buildings, which should be the buildings of Marie Gioia in the past, and they were marked with bright flowers around them to prevent anyone from accidentally stepping on them.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the side, standing just at the dividing line between the lighting range of the bright flower and the dark environment, only half of the egg-shaped body could be seen clearly, and its pair of peas eyes seemed to emit a dim red light. Inexplicably filled with a trace of weirdness!
"Moligo!"

Millerton was the first to spot the opponent, and immediately became vigilant, and Hoshino followed suit. Although the opponent only exposed half of his body, it was difficult even if he didn't recognize the shape of the pink round egg.

"There are wild lucky eggs here?"

He frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a little unbelievable. How could there be wild lucky eggs in this kind of place? It should be someone from the archaeological team who explored here. He was responsible for the treatment, but the question came, why did the lucky eggs appear alone?

Lucky egg is a kind of Pokémon that is afraid of life and runs away quickly, but it has a very kind personality. It is even said that it will bring luck to those who can catch it in the wild, because it is generally difficult to see it in the wild, even if you see it It is also difficult to catch up.

However, in the past, some Pokémon hunters would intentionally injure themselves in order to catch wild auspicious eggs, so as to win the sympathy of these innocent and kind auspicious eggs, so that they would turn around and come back to rescue themselves when they escaped, and then they could take the opportunity to capture them.

Not to mention these, it is very lucky to meet auspicious eggs in the wild, and even their cry is the same as "lucky", but now this Pokémon that can only bring luck suddenly appears here, But inexplicably gives people a strange feeling...

"It's weird, it's weird..."

Hoshino did not approach the opponent rashly, but first used the waveguide to sense it, and confirmed that it was an auspicious egg, and everything was normal, but the more normal at this time, the more weird it is!
After a short thought, he still decided to take a closer look. There was nothing to be afraid of, so he asked Millerton to be ready to fight at any time and approached the past.

But Millerton just took a step, but the auspicious egg seemed to be frightened, and suddenly threw the egg in its belly pocket to reduce the load, then turned around and ran into the darkness without hesitation, and ran fast!

"Humph! I want to escape!"

Hoshino immediately asked Millerton to chase after him, and grabbed the egg thrown by the other party. The eggs produced by Lucky Egg every day are precious ingredients, and as a chef, he will never waste ingredients.

In this way, they broke away from the original route with bright flowers, and successfully entered into the dark environment. At this moment, Millerton's eyes suddenly lit up, shooting out two rays of light like headlights, illuminating the environment ahead, don't worry about seeing There is no way.

Although the lucky egg is fast, it is not worth mentioning to Millerton at all. After a while, there is only less than ten meters left.

But when Hoshino was about to ask Millerton to release the electric current and stop the other party, the egg he picked up suddenly shook and exploded with a bang. This was not a raw egg, but a fried egg...

Xinye Miao was so frightened by the movement that she woke up on the spot, and Hoshino, who was put together, was showing a self-deprecating smile on his face, and continued to chase the lucky egg. He could even bully Gulardo, but today he was bullied by a An auspicious egg has been tricked, can this be tolerated!
Just at this moment, Millerton suddenly seemed to feel something, and hurriedly braked to stop, almost throwing Hoshino and Xinyemao on his back.

"……What's wrong?"

"Moligo!"

Millerton looked ahead, and saw that it was a dead end, surrounded by huge rhizomes, and there was no other place to pass through, but the lucky egg that was still chasing him was nowhere to be found!
"Ok?"

Hoshino was taken aback for a moment, but Millerton turned around at this moment and looked around. At some point, many crystal-like things appeared here.

They shone like gems, and driven by a special force, they released dark red stardust like broken crystals, as if they outlined a galaxy in the dark environment around them!
But how could Hoshino fail to recognize that these crystals are all Taijing crystals, and the scattered stardust is too pure Taijing energy, but when exactly, there is this dark red color...

He was a little puzzled, because his waveguide didn't feel anything, but Millerton was completely vigilant, and in the next second, these dark red crystal energy suddenly condensed together like a liquid, turning into one Tentacles, grab them!

"What hell thing!!!"

Caught off guard, Hoshino was taken aback by the arresting Taijing energy, but his waveguide still didn't feel anything.

But it was too late, Taijing energy was everywhere, when he reacted, his neck was firmly grasped by one of the arms...
