Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

Chapter 185 Zeraora, the Wonders of the Sewers

Little Rada leaped and rolled onto the ground, its eyes fixed intently on Xiong Meng, eager to see what this human would say.

After seeing the other party clearly, Xiong Meng remained silent for a moment, then took out an energy cube. "Don't rush, I just want to ask about something."

He had originally wanted to appear more serious, but looking at the tailless Rattata, he fell silent.

Even if there are problems, they will mostly arise later, but to prevent the worst-case scenario, it's still best to ask around first.

Waveguide connection: [Hello, this is my special ability; you can communicate directly in your mind.]

[Ah!! A voice appeared in my mind!! Who is it!! It's a monster!!]

"Look ahead, there are humans offering you delicious food. Everyone says this is my special ability."

"Hey, hey,"

[To those who don't know, I've never seen this before, but now I do. And thank you for the delicious food.]

After thanking him, Little Rada took a few small bites of the energy cube, then carefully placed it aside.

Why aren't you eating it? Is it not to your taste?

No, it's just that it looks like a good product and tastes great, so I wanted to bring some back to share with everyone.

{..：：.It's okay, there's plenty here. If I go with you, I guarantee we won't be able to finish it all.}

"Really?! Let's go together then! I really was sent by the Scizor leader!"

Upon hearing that there would be many energy cubes, Little Rada quickly reiterated his identity and briefly recounted the events of the daytime competition.

Heracross, who was standing nearby, nodded after listening and, after asking a few questions, confirmed that it was sent by the Scizor from earlier that day.

Okay, now I'll ask you a few questions. Just answer them normally. By the way, I can tell if you're lying, so think carefully before you speak.

{....OK.}

First, where do we need to go?

{It's from the sewers.}

How long will it take to get there?

{It takes me more than an hour to walk, but because I don't have a tail, I can't run fast in some places. Your journey is much longer, so it should be much faster.}

{...Are there other humans at the destination, or have we seen or heard about humans obtaining it today?}

No, it's not true that only we humans live there; no other humans come.

One last question: Will you set traps or attack me later?

{Why would they attack you? The Scizor leader and Detective Cat said they needed your help, and told me to speak politely.}

Rada remained calm, answering all the questions after careful consideration, without showing any panic or tension.

Yes, this one has passed through, no problem.

If there's something wrong with Little Rada, the only explanation is complete ignorance. Although there's still a risk, it's worth checking out.

Okay, you've passed my question. I'll go with you now.

"Squeak!" Great, let's go quickly!

"Squeak~" But if you're going into the sewer, I hope you'll change your clothes or something and do some preparation.

"It's okay, you can just sit on this drone and guide the way. I'll take the drone there when it arrives."

After much deliberation, Xiong Meng finally decided on a special drone that could fly and climb, and most importantly, had a concave center that allowed Little Rada to sit perfectly inside.

After carefully checking the small Rattata to make sure there were no problems, I placed some Power Blocks next to it.

"Eat it directly. If you get through this smoothly, there will definitely be enough."

"I can see outside through the drone. Just tell me if you need anything. Then you just need to direct the direction."

I casually patted the little mouse's head, and while the mouse was in a daze, the drone entered the ventilation duct.

Little Rada belatedly put its little paws on the spot where it had just been touched, then remembered its boss's task and quickly gave instructions.

Inside the room, Xiong Meng went to Dragon Champion's room and had Polygonus 2 turn on a screen and place it in front of him, broadcasting live footage from the drone.

After passing through the ventilation duct, we entered a narrow alley. Without stopping, we went straight into the sewers and continued walking through them, experiencing various bends after half an hour of flying.

During this process, the drone also detected signs of many Pokémon in the vicinity, but they only peeked out and then disappeared.

"Ouch~" Are there any humans here? What is this... is this drone waterproof?

"It's waterproof, so you can go down directly. Just point it normally. The drone is very fast, so remember to grab the side."

Little Rada nodded, then pointed underwater. Porygon2 controlled the drone to plunge in; the sewer water was incredibly black.

Under Rattata's guidance, we entered an underwater tunnel. The tunnel was inhabited by many Magikarp and Feebas, as well as Water-type Pokémon like Corphish. The drone was startled when it first entered, but relaxed after seeing Rattata on it. After giving Rattata a bubble, we invited it in.

The underwater route is quite long, with at least dozens of places to place bubbles along the way, so it can be said that the preparations were thorough.

But at the speed of a drone, these are unnecessary. After more than ten minutes of twists and turns, the little Lada finally pointed upwards, indicating that we were almost there.

Light reappeared, revealing a vast underground space. Amazingly, there was no sunlight here; instead, the glowing creatures were lanternfish in the puddles.

There are few forests here; instead, there are many edible crops such as tree fruits grown in the water or ocean. After coming up, Little Rada first took a bath in the water pit at the exit before walking further in.

On the other side, Xiongmeng and Longguan Champion in the hotel were very surprised. They did not expect there to be such a place underground, especially with the special Pokémon that appeared in sight to work, and the reasonable allocation and planning.

It's truly unbelievable that they could create such a space underground and maintain it so well.

At the end of the line of sight were many stone houses. Reaching the largest house in the middle, Little Rada got off the drone and went inside.

"Squeak~" Uncle, I've brought the person back.

A figure emerged from the dimly lit room, sporting golden slicked-back hair, an eye patch over his left eye, and a missing piece of his ear. He walked out with a serious expression, his hands behind his back.

It's Pu!! Detective Mongoose!

"Mao?" Why can't I see anyone?

Little Rada pointed to the drone that came in from behind, and the cat detective's expression froze when he saw it. Then, Porygon2 appeared with Bearmon.

"I'm here."

He raised his hand and released Heracross to reveal his identity, while also curiously observing the cat detective in front of him.

Although it was difficult to see clearly in the dimly lit room, the wave guide wouldn't lie; the blindfold of this mongoose detective wasn't hollow, and the hand behind it couldn't be felt.

A special Pokémon, and an extremely special one at that.

The aura was activated immediately. "Hello, I'm the Heracross trainer you've been contacting. Please let me know what's up."

[Telepathy? Special ability?]

Yes, it seems you are quite knowledgeable.

[It's alright, I just lived a little longer. Wait for me.]

"Hey~" Little Rada went to call everyone together, and I chatted for a bit before going out.

After arranging for Little Rada to leave, Inspector Mongoose gestured for him to sit down and said, "Xiong Meng, you've got to pull out a lamp, turn it on, and place it beside you."

The lights illuminated the dimly lit room, completely exposing the armless Detective Mongoose.

[I miss those lights so much; it's been so long since I've seen them.]

Xiong Meng looked at the other person's nostalgic expression and used waveguide to sense it again. At the same time, he also approached it from the perspective of emotions, and there was no negative feeling at all.

"To be honest, I'm curious. This space isn't one that just anyone can walk into, is it really okay for me to come in?"

"Or rather, you just believe me like that? Why?"

Detective Cat looked intently at Xiong Meng, then shook his head. "I don't know, because it wasn't me who chose to believe you, but rather the master and guardian of this place."

"Um?"

"~"

Just as Xiong Meng was about to ask for more details, a figure walked out from the side, revealing its entire body under the light.

Blue lightning bolts and black patterns cover the entire body, with blue concentrated on the chest and face. A cool cat with a cape and ponytail, standing upright and wearing yellow and black!

"A mythical beast, Zeraora!" Xiong Meng exclaimed in surprise.

Jeraora nodded in acknowledgment that she had come over after sensing Xiong Meng's waveguide scan, and nodded slightly in satisfaction after a careful inspection.

I know you can communicate directly, so I'll get straight to the point. I was introduced by Boss Zekrom, and he should have mentioned this to you. I can go with you, but I have a few conditions. First, all the Pokémon here must be properly taken care of, and second, the humans who did bad things to Sakura must be punished.

[If you do these things, I will be your Pokémon as long as you live.]

Jeraora gave her answer and waited silently for the other party's reply, but Xiong Meng had some concerns.

When Kyogre first came over, I made excuses and hesitated. You, a mere mythical beast, dare to come with conditions? You just look like a monk and suit my taste, so you want me to agree right away?

"Um, could you tell me the reason for the second one first?"

Xiong Meng assured him that he wouldn't necessarily agree; he was just curious as to why Zeraora was so angry.

Compared to the whole thing getting turned around, it's definitely more interesting to just enjoy the gossip.

Upon hearing Xiong Meng's question, Zeraora looked up with hatred, as if she could see right through the earth and see something.

"[Let me explain.]" Detective Cat sighed helplessly and stepped forward to explain the reason.

There are only three worlds for Pokémon: the wild, the Eastern Region, and the region outside the Eastern Region.

In the wild, you are on your own; if you can survive, you survive—that's the normal way.

In the Eastern Empire and surrounding areas, it is a place that all Pokémon dream of. For example, Pokémon in coastal areas can seek its help and will truly respect it.

But in other regions, people capture animals indiscriminately based on their aptitude, and their future is determined by their aptitude at birth. Sometimes, it's good if they can survive, but if they can't...

There are also disabled Pokémon that are often abandoned at will; only those with sufficient strength can be hatched freely.

Only then can one choose freely.

The most unexpected thing was that Detective Zangoose revealed something terrifying: in Sakura, many families would duel with Pokémon to demonstrate their samurai strength.

They fought in various ways... ...and the final result... ...

The cat peered into the direction where the arms were missing, a sense of sadness and anger emanating from it.

"I.."

"Don't make things difficult for this kid. He doesn't have the strength to accept you on behalf of Donghuang, nor is he capable of dealing with those bastards."

Xiong Meng's words were suddenly interrupted as Dragon Champion emerged from the drone, accompanied by Polygonus Z.

"He's still young, and these are things he shouldn't be experiencing at this age, but as the current champion of the Eastern Empire, I hereby announce that the special voice Pokémon here will be properly arranged."

"I'm sorry, but Donghuang isn't as good as you think. We can't fight against the forces of nature, nor can we guarantee that we can handle everything."

"But I assure you, Donghuang will take action soon, and then we will see a satisfactory answer."

Dragon Champion raised his hand and released his personal doctor, Almost Doll. He then turned to Xiong Meng and asked him to take out the things he had bought and give the Pokémon here a simple treatment and examination first.

[Kid, bring Zeraora back to me! The Eastern Empire will handle the rest, don't mess around!]

God knows how wide-eyed the Dragon Champion was when he saw Zeraora, especially Porygon2, whose eyes widened even more after the translation. It's like a mythical Pokémon delivered right to their doorstep!

And just like that, they appeared right in front of me, so fresh and beautiful! Isn't that amazing? I never expected to have such an unexpected surprise while visiting the cherry blossoms!

After understanding the situation, Long Guanjun realized that the other party had approached Xiong Meng because of that person, but that was alright, there were still a bunch of helpful people around.

Look at what Donghuang has arranged! They've changed into the champion's official uniform, contacted their exclusive Porygon Z, and are ready to make their appearance.

"Xiong Meng is too young. You should be the one in charge here. Let's talk about the specific details."

Dragon Champion looked at Detective Cat, and also pushed the dazed Xiong Meng and Jieraola out, "Hurry up and cultivate your relationship, or I'll hold you responsible!"

"Alright, now that everyone's gone, let's have a proper chat."

"First, is it confirmed that these things were done? Is there concrete evidence?"

No, those people knew they couldn't reveal themselves. There was no direct evidence, only memories and testimonial Pokémon.

Long Guanjun frowned. Without evidence, things would be difficult. Without direct evidence, it would be too easy for the other party to escape.

"Alright, let's arrange your check-up first, and then we'll talk about it when we get to Donghuang."

Inspector Meerkat was somewhat incredulous. "Really?"

"I am the champion of Donghuang, so I still have the right to participate. At worst, I can just go back and write a report. You arrange for people to gather and register, and I will contact the person in charge."

Although it's a bit strange that this champion suddenly appeared, none of the people Zeraora approves of have said anything, so it must be true.

Overjoyed, Detective Cat slung his little legs over his shoulder and went out to begin the registration and inspection work.

As soon as the other party left, the Dragon Champion contacted someone to report that a Pokémon would be coming over soon. Although the other party was puzzled, they began to prepare.

The dragon champion perked up when he said it was the mythical beast trial. A mythical beast trial? How rare!

We need to get moving! Let's get moving!

Outside, a person and a cat, pushed out of the house, stared at each other.

"It seems that what you just described is probably true, otherwise you wouldn't hate humans so much."

"There are some things I can't do, besides having people I care about and plans I have, there's also the fact that my current status isn't suitable for me to do them."

But I assure you, I will gather all the evidence I can and make things even worse here.

In the Japanese division's dojo and martial arts school, he met Zyra and Ojai, then returned to the Twin Dragons historical world, three years later.

The service was launched in the first year, stabilized in the second year, and developed in the third year.
