Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

The mine has been abandoned, and the tunnels inside have become a habitat for wild Pokémon over the years.

Su Hao stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then decided to go down into the mine to take a look.

It wasn't to catch Pokémon or find treasure; I just wanted to go and take a look.

Finally, the alliance has not yet released specific details regarding casualties.

However, the Shenzhou Alliance has begun contacting other countries attacked by the Nova Group to prepare a counterattack.

Chapter 314 Going to the Mine

Before going down into the mine, Su Hao specifically used a waveguide to check the surrounding area.

The area is deserted and uninhabited, not even a bird's droppings.

There are only some Bug or Grass-type Pokémon with low aggression, and some Geodude.

Geodude won't attack passersby unless you deliberately provoke it.

Of course, if you accidentally step on it, that's a different story.

Bright pink light illuminated the dim mine shaft, its interconnected passages as intricate as an ant's nest.

Su Hao was followed by Tianxi, who was in charge of lighting and support.

Diancie's moves are generally very powerful, and her attacks can easily affect the stability of this long-neglected mine, causing it to collapse.

Similarly, Incineroar and the others are also like this; the destructive power of professional-level Pokémon can easily pose a threat to the surrounding environment.

If you encounter wild Pokémon at this point, you'll have to rely on Riolu and Dragapult to find a way out.

Su Hao immediately released Riolu and Doronic into their Deluxe Balls, preparing to devise a plan.

Even Eevee, who was unable to battle, was released from its Poké Ball and held in his arms.

For no other reason than that Su Hao felt that watching Ibrahimovic from a distance would also broaden his horizons and give him some experience.

"Leo!"

As soon as Riolu jumped out of the Poké Ball, its red pupils looked around carefully.

He then faced forward with the pads of his palms, and the waveguide that was already taking shape rippled out with his movements.

The range covered by Riolu's waveguide is currently limited, only ten meters. After all, Riolu is still a relatively new company.

But it's already excellent that Riolu has this intention. The waveguide will strengthen along with his growth, and he will eventually reach Su Hao's current level.

This period of time will not be too long.

Leo explored the area and found the third passage on the right.

He repeatedly probed the channel using a waveguide.

Compared to other passages, he did not sense any auras from wild Pokémon in this passage.

In other words, this passage is the safest passage where no battles will occur.

"Oro!"

Once he was sure it was safe, Riolu didn't think twice and immediately took the lead, urging Su Hao and the others to follow.

"hold head high--"

Duolongqi glanced at Su Hao with some worry in his narrow eyes, his slender tail swaying slightly, as if he were somewhat uneasy.

Su Hao understood what he meant, shook his head and said nothing more to Riolu.

"Buy?"

The Eevee in my arms also made uneasy noises, its brown pupils staring straight into the deep passage, its fluffy tail swaying nervously from side to side.

His instincts, racial traits, and survival genes reminded him that this passage contained the natural enemies of small canine Pokémon like himself.

Diancie, acting as a spotlight, remained silent, but her hands were already poised to unleash their attack.

An atmosphere of vigilance instantly spread among all the Pokémon except for Riolu.

Riolu was completely unaware of all this.

This passage is only a little over ten meters long. After winding through the passage like a snake, a slightly more spacious area comes into view.

The small, dark, and damp cave was overgrown with weeds.

Over time, the rusted and broken tracks are scattered haphazardly all around.

"hiss--!"

"Leo!?"

A chilling screech and Riolu's startled cry appeared simultaneously.

Amidst the waist-high weeds, a purple cobra about three meters long flicked its tongue, staring menacingly at Riolu.

His body color was so conspicuous against the weeds that Arbok naturally developed other hunting skills when he couldn't ambush them.

Arbok's serpentine body coiled up like a spring, and a faint red light flashed, instantly boosting its aura.

The next second, Arbok shot out like an arrow, its fangs gleaming with an eerie purple-green light. Anyone bitten would likely be immediately poisoned.

As a wild Pokémon, Arbok is very good at assessing situations.

Monkeys are not to be trifled with; they can't bite through stones, and dragons...

Don't mess with them.

Therefore, his target is naturally only Riolu, who is standing at the very front!

When Arbok's mouth opened wide enough to swallow the small Riolu, Su Hao stopped Diancie from unleashing her attack and immediately shouted, "Dragon Tail!"

Doronchi understood immediately. A strong wind blew up where he had been floating, and his figure disappeared instantly.

Draco's burst speed is even faster than this elite-level early-game Arbok.

Arbok is about to succeed, at the last possible moment.

What was reflected in his suddenly contracting snake-like eyes was—

The dragon energy gathered in an instant, and the emerald green dragon tail tore through the air, making a loud whipping sound.

The dragon's tail, carrying immense force, whipped Arbok away instantly like a lightning bolt!

"hiss--!"

As the rubble on the mine walls exploded, Arbok was blasted into the wall, and even the mine itself seemed to tremble.

The powerful force caused Arbok to let out a painful hiss.

"Leo..."

Riolu, who had been stunned by the danger, came to his senses, feeling a lingering fear, and looked at Doronchi with gratitude.

Dorronki was still wary of Arbok and didn't have time to deal with him.

However, Doromecia, who was perched on Doroma's head, flew over to Riolu and chirped a few times to reassure Riolu.

As a foul, pungent odor gradually filled the mine, countless poison needles stained with purple liquid shot out in unison.

Before Arbok could even pull itself out of the wall, in pain and anger, it opened its mouth and fired a poison needle at Doronic.

"Riolu, snap out of it! Coach! Draco, use Steel Wing to intercept the Poison Needle!"

Su Hao anticipated Arbok's release of the poison needles just moments before it was about to strike and gave the order without hesitation.

Doronki transformed into a silver flash, fearlessly facing the rain of poison needles amidst the cheers of his brother, Doronmesia.

Su Hao's words, imbued with the essence of waveguides, struck Riolu like a dagger, immediately pulling it out of its regret over the mistake.

Despite being the last to attack, Riolu's move took effect earlier than Dragapult's and Arbok's moves.

Characteristic: Mischievous Heart!

"Leo, Leo!"

Fighting-type energy, guided by Lissler's Aura, transformed into light and empowered Draco.

Physical Attack +1, Defense +1.

Doronchi's gaze was focused, enveloped in steel-attribute energy, and his metallic wings deflected all the poison needles with the force of an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"hold head high--"

After shooting down the poison needle, Doraki's momentum remained undiminished, determined to make Arbok, who had frightened his younger brother, pay the price.

The sharp steel wings slashed straight at Arbok.

They completely forgot that it was their group who had broken into Arbok's lair first.

Arbok swallowed hard, sensing something was wrong.

He stopped running altogether, and dense ground-based energy, like a drill bit, instantly gathered in front of his snake-like mouth.

In the blink of an eye, he had carved a hole in the mine wall large enough for him to crawl through.
