Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

Many of them are Pokémon trainers, since using Pokémon to help dig is much more efficient than humans wielding shovels and hoes themselves.

However, Kitagawa Yu looked around and didn't see Shigeru or Ash Ketchum, so they probably hadn't arrived yet.

"It's a pity that Ash and Pikachu are here too. That way we could find Team Rocket and borrow their Weezing," Kitagawa Yu muttered regretfully before beginning to survey the terrain.

The Grand Canyon is simply too vast. Without Ash's protagonist aura, he really wasn't sure how long it would take to find that underground cavern if he were to dig normally.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the skills of those tomb raiders, and after looking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Why don't we just blast this place apart? With our combined strength, it shouldn't be difficult for us," Elena suggested.

However, Chizuka shook her head upon hearing this and said, "What if we blast the cave and crush all the ancient magical creatures living inside?"

"Probably not, aren't the Pokémon here not easy to die?"

"But you're using magic, not the power of Pokémon."

"Ah, I almost forgot!"

Elena stuck out her tongue shyly.

"What if we let Sakura do it? Her imaginary space devouring shouldn't cause a collapse."

“But Sakura’s spatial entrance can’t be opened too big yet. It would be too time-consuming to find the location in such a large canyon…” Kitagawa Yu thought for a moment and said, “Forget it, I’ll just use my search skill. The money from selling one Aerodactyl, a dozen Kabutos, and Kikunojo can buy at least a few hundred Ponyta.”

For such a large sum of money, spending a week's worth of CDs is quite worthwhile.

Chizuka, Elena, and Artoria looked at each other, none of them having any better ideas.

But then Ilya suddenly spoke up, saying, "Didn't Onii-chan always say that Artoria-neechan's luck stat is maxed out? Why don't we let Artoria-neechan try her luck?"

Everyone, including Kitagawa Yu, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

“Ilya’s suggestion seems to make a lot of sense… Why don’t you give it a try, Artoria? If it doesn’t work, I’ll activate my skill.”

"it is good!"

Without much thought, Artoria nodded and readily agreed. Then, with the pterosaur in mind, she began to observe the surrounding terrain.

"Just there!"

Artoria didn't observe for long before casually pointing to an open space.

"Alright! Come out, Dragonite!"

Kitagawa Yu summoned his Dragonite, Artoria also summoned her Dragonite and Charizard, and Illya summoned the two Sandslash Kings she had caught along the way.

Of course, compared to those three flying behemoths, the two pangolins were really inconspicuous.

With the appearance of the three behemoths, the gold diggers, who were already secretly watching them because of their good looks and because Gardevoir, who had been following Elena and hadn't been put into a Poké Ball, immediately gasped in surprise.

"My God! Those are Dragonite! And there are two of them!!!"

As the most powerful Pokémon below the legendary level, Dragonite is extremely rare. However, thanks to Lance, the strongest and most popular Dragon-type Elite Four member of Kanto, almost every Pokémon trainer knows Dragonite.

After all, in the hands of an Elite Four member like Lance, Dragonite is his trump card.

Moreover, even a Champion like Lance only has one Dragonite, while Kitagawa and his team brought out two at once. How could this not shock them?

On the other side, Kitagawa Yu and his six companions couldn't help but frown as they listened to the exclamations of the crowd.

"If we actually find the underground cave entrance and discover fossil pterosaurs and ammonites, will these guys come and fight over them?"

Elena frowned and muttered to herself.

It's not impossible. Although they haven't encountered any bad guys besides Team Rocket along the way, this situation is still not out of the question.

"Let's just use the 'Disperse Bystanders' skill to temporarily drive them away, so as to avoid a real conflict later," Kitagawa Yu said after thinking for a moment.

Chizuka and Artoria had no objections to this.

However, Elena's eyes lit up, and she chuckled, "Why don't we take the fossils they've already dug up too?"

"Alright, don't corrupt Sakura and Illya~" Kitagawa Yu chuckled and tapped her on the head.

Then Elena waved her wand to disperse the onlookers, covering most of the valley with their location as the center.

Pokémon are practically magical creatures, so they don't sense anything unusual or get affected by the magic, but their human trainers are not.

Under the influence of the magic, one by one, these people remembered something very important, put away their Pokémon, and hurriedly headed out of the Grand Canyon.

Some impatient individuals didn't even have time to take their tools with them, leaving them behind.

In just over ten minutes, the Grand Canyon, which had been bustling like a large construction site, became completely deserted.

"All done! Let's get started!"

"Go, Dragonite! Use Focus Blast!"

"Go, Sandslash King, use Burrow!"

"Go, Charizard, use Slash!"

A deafening roar began to echo throughout the canyon. As the Pokémon unleashed their full power, a crater several meters deep quickly appeared on the ground and continued to extend rapidly downwards.

About ten minutes later, a sound like an eggshell being crushed by a heavy object suddenly rang out from deep underground. Immediately afterwards, the area where the large pit was located, along with the area where they were, collapsed.

The change was somewhat sudden, but it did not have any impact on Kitagawa Yu and the others.

Before Irena could even make a move, Gardevoir had already used its psychic powers to lift everyone into the air.

"It seems Onii-chan was right, Artoria-neechan's luck stat is really maxed out~!" Illya exclaimed excitedly.

The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

At this moment, Kitagawa Yu suddenly realized that if we exclude the protagonist's halo and only consider attribute values, the elementary school student Illya, who has become a heroic spirit, is also very high.

"If Ilya's luck is exceptionally good in this world, it means that the luck attribute is universal across worlds."

Thinking about this, Kitagawa Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity to investigate further.

"Ilya, why don't you go down first?"

"Eh? Eh? Eh?" Illya, who was being held in Chizuka's arms, was stunned when she heard this. Looking at the dark hole below, she subconsciously shrank her neck, which was extremely cute.

However, she didn't think much of it, assuming that Kitagawa Yu was letting her, a child, explore the way, and that Kitagawa Yu simply wanted to train her combat experience.

"Oh"

Coming to her senses, Ilya obediently agreed, then used her magic to lift herself up and fly downwards.

Kitagawa Yu and the others followed behind her, keeping a slight distance from her.

After going down about fifty or sixty meters, the group finally reached the bottom of the cave. It has to be said that the underground cave is indeed enormous, allowing such a large flying Pokémon as Aerodactyl to survive and reproduce here for so many years.

Moreover, the thickness of the cave ceiling from the ground surface is much greater than expected, reaching nearly thirty meters.

If Artoria hadn't chosen a location that happened to be a weak point in the strata, finding this cave would have been quite difficult for them.

"Come back, Sandslash!"

After landing, Ilya first collected the two Sandslash Kings that were caught off guard and were dizzy from the fall.

Then, after sensing the area again, they unearthed two heavily injured Kabuto Scythes, one Kabuto Fossil, and one Omanyte in the large area buried by the collapsed ground.

These few Pokémon alone could fetch billions or even more.

However, since Illya only had two Pokémon slots left, she had to ask Sakura for her Poké Balls in order to pack all the Pokémon away.

Next, Ilya began searching for the most valuable fossil pterosaur in this maze-like underground cavern.

Throughout the entire process, Kitagawa Yu and the others did not interfere at all. They simply kept a slight distance behind Illya and searched entirely by feeling.

It's unclear whether the fossil pterosaur heard the earlier collapse and sensed the free air outside.

They had only turned a corner at the fork in the road ahead and walked a few dozen meters to the left when the fossil pterosaur they had been longing for flapped its wings and flew anxiously from the depths of the cave ahead.

"Aerodactyl, a Rock/Flying-type Pokémon, possesses saw-shaped teeth that can bite through an opponent's throat. It is a ferocious ancient Pokémon that knows nothing of fear."

"Is this a case of luck coming into play?"

Kitagawa Yu touched his chin and then took the initiative to call back Ilya, who was struggling with whether to send out the Lily Root Doll or the Bubble Squirrel.

Unfortunately, both Sandslash were injured and unable to fight, and the newly captured Kabuto and Omanyte were constantly bullied by Aerodactyl and were no match for it.

As for sending the foam squirrel and the lily root doll into battle, is it because the fossil pterosaur hasn't had a new dessert in a long time?

"Go, Dragonite! Use Tornado!"

At Kitagawa Yu's command, Dragonite immediately conjured a tornado and swirled towards Aerodactyl.

Compared to its previous forms as Dratini and Dragonair, now that it has evolved into Dragonite, its tornadoes are much larger in terms of speed of formation, size, and power.

The fossil pterosaur, which had reigned supreme in this underground world for countless years, never expected that anyone would dare to provoke it, and was immediately swept up by the sudden tornado.

Chapter 226 One Pot

Immediately afterwards, Dragonite launched Flame Vortex at the Aerodactyl in the tornado, having learned the combination move Flame Tornado that Kitagawa Yu often used.

The wind fanned the flames, and the fossil pterosaur caught in the fire was immediately breached, letting out a painful roar.

However, the roar contained more anger than anything else, which meant that the fossil pterosaur had not completely lost its fighting ability and had not surrendered.

"Dragonite! Use Focus Blast, then follow up with Thunder Punch for the final blow!"

"Roar!"

Upon hearing Kitagawa Yu's command, Dragonite immediately spat out a white ball of light the size of a basketball, which shot towards the tornado.

The next second, the energy blast, trailing a long white beam, struck the tornado column, causing a massive explosion.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted. The entire earth, along with the surrounding rock walls, shook violently, and the stalactites overhead fell like leaves in a downpour.

The Aerodactyl, which had been roaring furiously, was now charred black and falling weakly to the ground, seemingly on the verge of death. However, Dragonite was still diligently carrying out Kitagawa Yu's command, clenching its fists and igniting two balls of golden flame. With its small wings fluttering, it charged towards the Aerodactyl at an astonishing speed of more than twice the speed of sound.

In any other world, if Aerodactyl were to be hit like that again under these circumstances, it would definitely be dead. Fortunately, this is the Pokémon world, and as long as Dragonite doesn't intend to kill, Aerodactyl won't die.

"boom!"

There was another loud noise.

The fossil pterosaur, which was originally in free fall, was suddenly launched high into the air like a cannonball and crashed directly into the rock strata at the top of the cave, so deeply that it couldn't be pried out!

"How miserable!"
