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

Damn it, if I can't afford to mess with you bunch of robbers, I'll just run away, okay?

Doraki's steel wings could only scrape a deep, bone-revealing wound at Arbok's tail before it even entered the cave.

Su Hao was slightly surprised and said, "That digging speed is amazing. Are all wild Pokémon this fast?"

"Euro..."

With a soft, almost inaudible call, Su Hao felt his trouser leg being tugged.

He looked down and saw Riolu holding a small purple gem in his palm, looking at him guiltily.

Gengar, Pichu, Oddish, Jumpluff, Sunflower.

Chapter 315 Robber

This is... the Poison Gem?

Wow, is this what they mean by "a rare and precious treasure is always guarded by a fierce beast"?

A poisonous gem worth tens of thousands of Shenzhou coins, such a harvest right after mining, not bad at all.

Su Hao nodded in satisfaction, surprised to have two unexpected gains after coming down from a casual stroll.

It's as delightful as suddenly finding tens of thousands of dollars while walking down the street.

And then... the most important takeaway was that it taught Leo a lesson on the road.

Su Hao put down Eevee, who had just witnessed a fierce battle and was still a little dazed.

Then Su Hao half-squatted down to take the Poison Gem, his starry eyes looking directly at Riolu, who was looking at him guiltily, and said in a gentle voice, "Do you think this was your own mistake?"

Riolu nodded honestly, its previously erect blue pointed ears drooping slightly, looking very remorseful and guilty.

"It was indeed your mistake. After the waveguide probe reached its limit and confirmed that there was no danger, you immediately became reckless."

Su Hao's voice made Riolu's small, not-yet-strong body tremble. Just as he was about to close his eyes to accept the criticism, Su Hao's calm voice came again.

"But your mistake this time didn't cause any negative consequences, did it?"

"You've only been in this world for a month, so it's common for you to make wrong judgments due to a lack of experience."

After speaking, Su Hao gently patted Riolu's shoulder and said, "Make good use of the experience from this mistake, and you won't make the same mistake next time."

Su Hao had some suspicions about Riolu's contradictory personality, and he didn't expect to encounter such a perfect opportunity today.

Riolu was very cautious, and he would use waveguide detection again and again in places he found suspicious.

Riolu is reckless. Once he's sure nothing bad will happen, he loses his composure and becomes focused on charging forward without any sense of vigilance.

More than the Poison Gem, the unexpected joy of this mining trip was that it made Riolu realize his own problems.

Excessive caution or recklessness is not good.

"Buy~"

Seeing Riolu standing there in a daze, Ibrahimovic went up to him and encouraged him with great enthusiasm.

Although Eevee is currently unable to mobilize energy to fight, it is precisely because he has suffered persecution from darkness that he has a very clear understanding of many things.

These are minor difficulties; they can be overcome easily.

With Diancie staying behind to protect the two little ones, Su Hao led Doronchi to continue exploring forward along the passage.

A short while later, Diancie, along with Riolu and Eevee, caught up with them.

Su Hao didn't know what Eevee and Riolu had said, but Riolu clearly seemed to have regained its energy and was no longer in a state of self-doubt.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He left Riolu with room to think so that Riolu could figure it out on its own.

It seems that Riolu's mindset has clearly changed now.

He no longer insisted on absolute safety and even became more familiar with Ibrahimovic.

Both Pokémon are based on canines.

Surprisingly, Su Hao felt that it was only natural for the two of them to have a good relationship.

This time, guided by Su Hao's waveguide, and facing the intricate passages, in order to prevent getting lost, he chose the most primitive method—marking the way by carving symbols on the walls.

About an hour had passed since Su Hao left Arbok's dwelling. In order to avoid unnecessary battles, he tried to avoid the nests of wild Pokémon as he went.

However, there are always times when it is unavoidable.

"Dragon Tail!"

Su Hao commanded Duolongqi to fight against a lone but hostile giant coal mountain.

During the battle, Su Hao frowned slightly.

This giant Coalossal's hostility wasn't directed at any Pokémon, but rather at him...

The coal carried on the back of the giant coal mountain emitted a red glow, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted.

As the giant coal mountain moved, numerous rocks, glowing red-hot and radiating intense heat, were hurled at Su Hao.

In a sense, this Rock Blockade, like Flying Press, is an attack using both fire and rock elemental energies.

This

That's also the wonder of Pokémon in real life.

Doronchi's dragon tail, like a long snake, precisely and swiftly shattered one rock block after another.

This wild Giant Coal Mountain is only at the early Elite level, giving Doraki a complete advantage.

However, Su Hao had some concerns and did not allow Duolongqi to defeat Giant Coal Mountain quickly.

Riolu and Eevee were perfectly safe under Diancie's protection, and Coalossal showed no sign of aggression towards them.

He remembered that Su Qing said the mine used to be rich in mineral deposits.

Various gemstones, evolution stones, and even rarer fossils or precious minerals have all been unearthed here.

In this environment, it wouldn't be surprising to attract wild Rock-type Pokémon or even pseudo-legendary Pokémon capable of devouring an entire mountain.

In fact, someone once captured a baby Giras in this mine.

But now the mountain's mineral deposits have been almost completely depleted, and it has gradually fallen into disrepair. It has probably been at least several decades since any human has visited this place.

Why does Giant Coal Mountain only show hostility towards Su Hao, who has a human form?

Moreover, wild giant coal mountain shouldn't live in this environment.

Ordinary ores are only ranked low in their diet; their favorite food, besides stones with rich fire-attribute energy, is coal.

Coal is essential for maintaining the temperature of the burning coal on Giant Coal Mountain's back; only by regularly consuming coal can Giant Coal Mountain maintain the high temperature on its back.

In other words, these Pokémon are mostly found in mines with abundant fire-type energy or in mines with coal deposits.

First of all, the fire element energy in this mountain is not abundant.

Could it be that there are coal deposits in this mountain?

Even if we figure out why there's a Pokémon like Mt. Coalossal here...

The reason why Giant Coal Mountain harbors hostility towards Su Hao remains unexplained.

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao decided to try communicating with Giant Coal Mountain using a waveguide.

The azure wave spread out, just like the super-power in the Arceus movie, as Su Hao tried to communicate with the giant coal mountain filled with "anger".

Perhaps it's the aura that conveys emotions, coupled with the subtle, almost mystical, affinity of the Viridian Force for Pokémon.

After much effort, Su Hao's waveguide finally connected with the now quiet Giant Coal Mountain.

After Giant Coal Mountain finished complaining, Su Hao finally understood why he was so hostile to humans.

In short, there was indeed a larger cave further ahead, containing rich coal deposits, which attracted the Giant Coal Mountain tribe to settle there.

However, not long ago, a dark-skinned human male led several trainers to drive away the Coal Mine Clan and take over the cave where the coal mine was located.

Such thuggish behavior naturally caused the scattering and fleeing tribes of Giant Coal Mountain to harbor resentment towards humans.

That's why he launched an attack the moment he saw Su Hao.

------------

Blue Raven.

Chapter 316 Accidental collision

Men with darker skin?

Su Hao tilted his head, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

With a hint of doubt, Su Hao looked earnestly at Giant Coal Mountain: "Perhaps I can help you with this. Can you take me to see it?"

Generally speaking, trainers are conscious of avoiding damage to the habitats of wild Pokémon.

This behavior can easily provoke wild Pokémon, making it very troublesome to deal with.
