Chapter 312 Adu: That's right, Liekongzuo is the real dragon!
After obtaining some spicy seasoning and seeds from Millong's cave, Qingyu successfully completed her main objective in coming to Daguo Lake.

Anyway, he doesn't have much need for spicy seasoning for the time being. Only the godfathers of Milton and Piper need a little bit, so it's good to bring some seeds home for Ponpon to raise slowly.

As for Mililong and Chihouba...

Although they had only been in contact for a short time, Qingyu could tell that they were probably the ones in charge of this Big Pot Lake.

Unlike other Pokémon's environments, ordinary people rarely come to Lake Big Pot; it's Pokémon's territory.

Therefore, Qingyu will not drive it away like she did when she beat up the hairy cliff crab before.

Since the Pokémon in the vicinity have no objections, maintaining the current order is a good thing for everyone.

Qingyu and his group quickly and tactfully left Mililong's territory.

Now that we have the seasonings, it's time for the main event – ​​a picnic!
……

In an open area above the Great Pot Waterfall, a picnic blanket was filled with humans and Pokémon.

After transmigrating, Qingyu repeatedly tried to make various dishes.

In this process, he gradually came to understand a very cruel reality.

I don't think I have any talent for cooking.

However, the Padiya sandwich, which requires no special skills and only involves arranging the ingredients neatly on the bread dough, is the one he makes with great flair.

One's own efforts and sweat undoubtedly account for the majority of the success; as for seasonings and such, they are merely supplementary!

In conclusion, A-Du and Xiao-Chun made the right choice in coming this time.

Compared to the seasonings used before, the final spicy seasoning was significantly more potent, which is why it tasted exceptionally good.

Even though Qingyu had tried to reduce the dosage as much as possible before serving the first sandwich as an experiment to Millerton, Millerton was quickly stimulated by the pain far exceeding that caused by capsaicin and howled.

However, even though his mouth was in a state of turmoil, and his tongue was embarrassingly sticking out, Milton still didn't give up on taming this unruly sandwich, leaving the person watching all this stunned.

Is the effect really that outrageous?
With Milton as a cautionary tale, the other Pokémon hesitated for a moment when receiving the sandwich from Blue Feather.

However, the craving for delicious food ultimately and easily overcame the fragile fear.

"Boni!!!"

After removing its mask, Egui Peng took a small bite and immediately let out a scream.

Even though it wasn't wearing a stove mask, it quickly spewed out a large ball of flame from its mouth, like an acrobatic performance.

Logically speaking, someone like Egui Pong, whose personality is defined by a fear of loneliness, should like spicy food...

Even it found the spiciness a bit unbearable, but Millerton managed to hold back from spitting out the sandwich. It took half a minute for his brain and mouth to finally convince his body to swallow it.

Qingyu immediately realized—

I think I misunderstood Millerton just now.

Are people really going to such lengths to avoid wasting food?

Hakimi, you might be terrifyingly persistent...

"Buyi!"

The naturally timid Sylveon couldn't handle spicy food, and seeing that even Evil Pine was defeated by the spicy seasoning, it decisively chose to follow its heart, shrinking into Qingyu's arms and shaking its head repeatedly.

Compared to the battle, the scorching hot sandwich in front of me, which looked like a demon from hell, was far more terrifying!
Seeing this, Qingyu felt helpless.

However, apart from Milton, other Pokémon don't really need to eat spicy seasoning.

If Sylveon doesn't want to, then just make it a regular sandwich.

"Luka..."

Lucario stood upright on the ground, seemingly contemplating life.

Spicy taste is actually a form of pain, which is why Erguipeng reacted so strongly just now.

But perhaps this spicy sandwich was intentional on the part of the trainer, a test he set for himself?
If you can't even handle this little bit of spiciness, then your willpower is clearly not up to par!

Thinking of this, Lucario subconsciously looked at the man in the red and black cloak beside him.

Compared to himself, who was still struggling with his decision, this human, who had a good relationship with his trainer, clearly had a much stronger will. After eating a whole sandwich, he was still able to remain expressionless and even as still as a mountain.

Indeed, the will of the strong is terrifying!

Aoba also noticed Lucario's admiring gaze and subconsciously looked at Lance sitting next to him.

He hasn't made a sound since he casually took a piece of the sandwich...

As expected of the ever-strong-willed Awata Tenshin, even at a time like this, he still wants to maintain his perfect image.
But upon closer inspection, Qingyu suddenly realized:
Adu's patience isn't strong at all, it's like a revolving lantern!
His eyes were almost out of focus; he might be about to see his great-grandmother!
"They really are suffering for the sake of saving face."

Xiao Chun, standing to the side, shook her head helplessly.

……

The picnic incident ended quickly, but Qingyu didn't rush to leave.

Lance and Tsubaki became interested in the Pokémon in the vicinity, so they went in different directions, hoping to get lucky and encounter an interesting dragon Pokémon.

As for Qingyu himself, he stayed near the Big Pot Waterfall, intending to verify something that was very important to Baby Dragon.

According to the Pokédex, in addition to physical development, there is another somewhat puzzling condition for the evolution of Baboon.

It needs to build the confidence that "it can actually fly" in order to complete its evolution.

This is the main reason why Baby Dragons seek out high places and enjoy falling from great heights; this behavior is even ingrained in their DNA. Qingyu vaguely felt that this might be the catalyst for Baby Dragons' evolution.

The best place to verify this is right here in front of you—the enormous cauldron-shaped waterfall.

Even with the Baby Dragon's hard iron skull, there is still a certain risk in falling from too high a height.

But with the water hitting the ground as a buffer, the situation will be much better.

The Liangjiosaurus that just floated downstream and was clearly a repeat offender is the best proof of that.

Therefore, this is the perfect place for baby dragons to train in flight!

As Qingyu pondered this, she took out the Taijing Bead from her pocket.

Unfortunately, he hadn't thought of this before coming. Otherwise, it would have been better to bring more fragments of Taijing to give the baby dragon the Taijing flying attribute as double insurance.

While using the Crystal Fly ability won't teach Pokémon to actually fly, it will at least let them experience what the Flying type feels like.

For Beast Dragons that evolve into Salamence, it might actually be somewhat useful.

As for the other Pokémon that also want to learn to fly...

The effect is likely to be relatively limited.

When the baby dragon realized that it was upstream of the waterfall and had a very exaggerated height difference with the bottom, its face quickly showed excitement.

If Qingyu hadn't reached out and grabbed its little paw, this little guy would probably have immediately and without hesitation performed a "leap of faith".

Aoba borrowed another Dragonite from Aoba, and it was now quietly waiting below the waterfall for the dragon to leap down.

Before Milton mastered the skill of flying, Qingyu didn't really have anyone to refer to for Baby Dragon, so they had to temporarily borrow outside help.

As Qingyu expected, the moment he let go, the baby dragon's eyes lit up and it quickly arrived at the waterfall with an arrogant gait.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, and with obvious joy on his face, Baby Dragon took a step forward and sped downstream with the water flow.

"Buyi..."

Sylveon stared at the excited Baby Dragon, speechless for a moment.

"Tsk, this little guy is much braver than you."

Qingyu smiled slightly and reached out to pat Sylveon's head.

In a way, this little guy who likes to jump off cliffs is quite brave.

Jumping from such a height, let alone Sylveon, even he himself would absolutely not dare to do it.

Judging from its personality and its behavior since childhood, its ultimate move after evolution will probably be a self-sacrificing charge...

Yes, that does fit the character of Salamence.

As Qingyu was thinking this, she suddenly noticed a sonic boom coming from the horizon, and instinctively looked up.

Then, he immediately froze on the spot.

Today was a beautiful day with clear skies, so everything in the sky was within his sight.

A tall, slender figure, entirely dark blue with gilded patterns, was directly above them, hurtling straight down at an alarming speed.

Due to its excessive speed, it quickly produces a loud explosion wherever it goes, even leaving a long white trail in the air.

Qingyu recognized the guy at a glance.

Black Rayquaza was also an old acquaintance of his, appearing in his line of sight from time to time...

However, this time its target does not seem to be itself.

It was a baby dragon that was falling.

Such a commotion caused many Pokémon in Lake Daguo to surface, and upon discovering the source of the sound, they immediately and frantically dived back into the water.

Even the usually easygoing Slowpoke was a beat slow to react and immediately leaped into the lake.

Even A-Du and Xiao-Chun, who were a little further away, immediately noticed this "uninvited guest" and were quickly shocked.

This black Rayquaza is clearly the same one I saw in the Dragon-type Master Tournament!
It was obvious back then that its relationship with Qingyu was unusual, and this time it's even more obvious than before.

A look of shock quickly flashed across Adu's eyes.

Rayquaza is a legendary creature in Hoenn that controls the sky, and Blue Feather is the one who has earned its favor...

Without a doubt, he will definitely become a Dragon Tamer of extraordinary status in the future!
However, A-Du's focus was not on this.

Compared to the other dragon-type Pokémon I've encountered in Lake Dagos, Rayquaza definitely has the most dragon-like aura. Although its name doesn't contain the word "dragon," it looks the most like a dragon.

That's right, Rayquaza is the real dragon!

As for the Black Rayquaza, which attracted the attention of all the creatures near Lake Daguo as soon as it appeared, the reason for its sudden appearance here is also very simple...

Its enormous body flashed like lightning across the cascading waterfall, its agile form plummeting straight down until it reached the same height as the baby dragon that was about to touch the water's surface, at which point it immediately turned.

While catching the baby dragon steadily, my body also suddenly turned ninety degrees, like in the game Snake, and changed direction by skimming the surface of the water without making a splash.

Dragonite, who was originally the safety officer, stood there stunned for a long time before he reacted and clapped his hands awkwardly.

That aerial drifting maneuver just now was an absolutely perfect performance, a 100% score!
