Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"Xiao Lu, what do you think? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Haoyan has decided that if both Pokémon feel uncomfortable, then he will decisively abandon the mission.

Despite spraying so much golden mist on him, it had absolutely no effect on these wild Pokémon.

It seems the force that instigated their riot was not weak.

Kirlia closed her eyes, carefully sensed it, and shook her head.

"I didn't feel anything unusual, except that it was very hot inside this cave!"

Just as Kirlia was answering the question, Hao Yan keenly noticed a Zubat flying by not far away.

This supersonic bat moves nimbly and is not aggressive.

Perhaps it smelled the strong scent of gold spray on Haoyan from afar, shook its head and flew away on its own.

Haoyan took in the scene before him.

Following up on Kirullian's question, she asked, "Hot?"

Kirlia nodded seriously, pointed to the depths of the cave, and said earnestly, "It's hot, it's even hotter in there."

Hao Yan remained silent. After entering the cave, he did not feel hot at all. On the contrary, he felt that the cave was cooler than the outside.

But why do Lucario and Kirlia both feel hot inside?

Also, why did Mawile and Cocoyora, both Steel-type characters, riot?

On the other hand, why are Poison and Flying-type Zubat unaffected?

"Could it be that a large number of fire stones have appeared here?"

"The Fire Stone emits fire-type energy, which is why Xiaolu and Xiaoou feel hot!"

"Steel-type Pokémon are afraid of fire. They entered a berserk state after being exposed to fire-type energy?"

"However, fire stones mostly appear in places with relatively high temperatures."

"How could a fire stone be born in a cool cave?"

“Unless…” Hao Yan thought of a scenario where a large number of fire stones would appear in a cool cave in a short period of time.

"If a large number of fire stones appear in the cave, then this trip, even if it's very dangerous, will be worth the risk!" Hao Yan's eyes brightened.

There are ten types of evolution stones.

It can be used to evolve different Pokémon.

Pokémon of the same level have vastly different battle strengths in their initial and final evolved states!

Take the Dark Stone as an example; it can evolve Murkrow into Ravenhead, significantly increasing its combat power!

However, evolution stones are not produced in large quantities.

A rare Dark Stone has a market price of around 100 million Alliance Coins.

If the item is in good condition, the price can double.

In the Hoenn region, there is a volcano called Mt. Chimney, where Fire Stones are produced in slightly higher quantities.

It's also the cheapest.

However, even the cheapest Fire Stone has a market price of 30 each.

Those in better condition are more expensive.

To make all the Steel-type Pokémon in the cave go crazy, you would need at least 20, or even more, Fire Stones to achieve what you have now.

Thinking of this, Hao Yan's heart burned like a fiery stone.

However, Haoyan did not lose his way because of such a huge temptation.

We definitely need to go in and investigate.

But not in the current state.

He took out fresh water and food from his backpack and handed them to Kirlia, saying, "Little Lu, have something to eat first."

"Then use meditation to recover the energy you just lost and get yourself back into a good state."

"Once you've recovered, we'll go into the cave and explore it further."

"Leave this area to me to keep watch."

Kirlia obediently took it and ate it silently.

Kirlia's teleportation was what allowed Hao Yan to venture deep into danger and escape peril.

... ...

Half an hour later, Kirullian emerged from her meditative state and opened her bright eyes.

Their energy and spirit have reached their peak.

"Little Lu, hold me tight." Hao Yan bent down, gesturing for Kirulian to jump onto his back.

Without wasting any of Kirlia's stamina, the two of them can teleport at any time while connected.

Kirullian blushed slightly and jumped onto Haoyan's back with a touch of shyness.

Hao Yan tightened his grip on Kirulian, took a deep breath, and scanned his surroundings with lightning-fast alertness before slowly walking deeper into the cave.

Chapter 28 An Unusual Change Alarms the Alliance

Unpaku Town, Odamaru Research Institute.

Dr. Birch, with bloodshot eyes, was with several researchers, flipping through a table full of materials.

"What exactly caused the mutation of the Maw of Venus in the Stone Cave?!"

Dr. Oda Scroll muttered to himself as he quickly flipped through the documents.

He hasn't slept for two days and two nights, and has been researching the cause of the Maw Kid's mutation.

Next to Professor Birch, a young man with blue hair and dark skin was slumped wearily on the table.

This blue-haired youth is Teng Shu from the martial arts dojo.

After consulting a large amount of information, Dr. Birch still had no results, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

I accidentally bumped into the desk lamp that was placed to the side.

The desk lamp fell to the ground with a thud.

The sudden sound startled Teng Shu, who was sleeping on the table.

As Teng Shu picked up the desk lamp in a daze, he muttered to himself, "I thought another meteorite had fallen. It gave me quite a fright."

"What did you say, Fujiki?" Professor Birch, who was relatively close by, had heard what Fujiki said and immediately asked.

"Ah... I... what did I say?"

Teng Shu hadn't slept well for two days and two nights, which made his mind sluggish. He didn't immediately understand what Dr. Birch was saying.

"I'm asking you, what's this about the meteorite you just mentioned?" A thought suddenly flashed through Oda Scroll's mind, as if she had grasped the key point.

"A while ago... a small meteorite landed in Wudou Town," Teng Shu replied immediately upon seeing Professor Birch's serious expression.

"Meteorite?"

"Did the meteorite land near the Stone Cave?" Dr. Oda's bloodshot eyes suddenly lit up with a different kind of light as she put down the documents in her hand and asked.

"Well... I think so. It was nighttime, so I'm not sure exactly where it landed, but judging from the sound, it didn't seem to be a very big meteorite."

"Doctor, from what you're saying, is the anomaly in the Stone Cave caused by a meteorite impact?" Teng Shu's mind finally started working, keeping up with Professor Birch's pace.

Dr. Oda didn't answer; instead, she quickly sat down at the computer and began searching.

After a while, Professor Birch shouted.

"The problem lies with the Fire Stone!"

Teng Shu and the surrounding researchers immediately gathered around him, waiting for his explanation.

"The meteorite brought a lot of heat energy, and the Fire Stone was created because of the accumulation of heat energy in a short period of time."

"Inside the Stone Cave, there are a lot of Mawile. Steel-type Pokémon don't like Fire-type energy, and being scorched by Fire-type energy will cause them pain!"

"Pain is what drives them to madness!"

Having spent so much time finally receiving an answer to the question about the anomaly, Teng Shu immediately asked Professor Odama, "Professor, what should we do now?"

"Report to the Alliance and have them send people to Martial Arts Town to provide support immediately!" Professor Birch said with a solemn expression, "Besides Mawile, there are also Cocoyora in the Stone Cave, and even powerful wild Cocoyora!"

"These Steel-type Pokémon are just starting out and can still withstand the heat of the Fire Stone."

"But as time goes on, they will definitely escape the Stone Cave!"

"If a frenzied Steel-type Pokémon were to run rampant on the island, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"We must eliminate these Fire Stones before the Steel-type Pokémon go berserk!"

After listening to Dr. Oda's analysis, Teng Shu also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Wudou Town is not large; it's just a small island.

Just thinking about what would happen if a wild, frenzied Pokémon ran out of the Stone Cave and into a residential area is enough to make anyone wonder.

Wudou Town cannot withstand such a storm!

Teng Shu immediately stood up and, together with Professor Oda Scroll, went to Saiyu City, which is the headquarters of the League, to request support.

After the seriousness of the matter was explained to the alliance headquarters, the alliance also took it very seriously.

An immediate decision was made to dispatch 50 elite investigators to resolve this anomaly.

As for the tasks sent out by the Alliance Center?

Nobody cares.

Such large-scale incidents cannot be resolved by the efforts of one person alone.
