Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

What's more, Ash and Brock were walking in front, and those two had four... two eyes that were practically shining.

They just kept rushing forward without stopping at all.

"Guide! Fossil Pokémon! And a complete variety of them!"

"A move that can make even a Heavenly King temporarily retreat!"

Xiaoxia looked at the two people in front of her who were still rushing forward with their heads down, and then looked at her own sore and weak legs.

"Hello--!"

"Hey you two! Are you even listening to me?!"

The sound echoed several times in the valley before Xiaogang and Xiaozhi finally turned around.

Their faces were just filled with the same bewilderment.

"say what?"

"Yes, what did they say?"

Xiaoxia was so angry she almost flew to heaven. All she wanted to do was pick up a rock and give those two guys a proper demonstration of Charizard's three signature moves.

Pikachu, however, understood the situation.

It peeked half its body out from Xiaozhi's shoulder, tilted its head, and glanced at Xiaoxia, who was panting heavily.

Then, he raised the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, glancing sideways at Xiaoxia with a meaningful smile.

"Pikachu?"

This won't do. It's only been a short time and it's already like this.

Me, a little mouse, haven't even broken a sweat yet.

Having figured out the meaning behind Pikachu's cries, Xiaoxia, who had made a temporary breakthrough, instantly bristled.

"You've been on Xiaozhi's shoulder all afternoon and haven't walked a single step! I could do that too!"

"Pickup!"

Pikachu defiantly gestured with its little paws, its expression self-righteous.

What happened?

Trainers are also an important part of a Pokémon's strength!

If you're so capable, why don't you go and tame a little intelligent beast yourself!

Besides, I, the little mouse, have been maintaining my balance the whole time, which is quite tiring!

Xiao Gang looked up at the sky, then looked down at Xiao Xia, who looked like she was about to fall apart, and shook his head helplessly.

"It hasn't been that long, and you're already not very good at long-distance running. You really should train more..."

"What do you mean I'm not good at it!" Xiaoxia was even angrier. "This is normal physical strength, okay! It's clearly the two of you who are abnormal!"

Looking at the two of them, Xiao Zhi scratched his head and suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Hey!"

"How about this—I'll just take you all with me and run away?"

He gestured with his hands as he spoke, looking very serious.

"Even though my shoulders are worn out... I can still manage one in each hand! If I keep going at full speed, I should be there in no time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Gang's expression changed.

That deathly pallor, that terror, that expression as if they were seeing their own life flashing before their eyes.

"No no no no no—"

Xiao Gang shook his head frantically.

"No need, no need, really no need. Taking a rest is actually quite good!"

I still vividly remember the time Ash dragged me around like crazy because I was trying to get into the Pokémon Center before it rained.

Although the time was short.

But he never wants to experience that feeling of the wind whistling in his ears, the scenery turning into streaks of light, and his stomach churning again.

Xiaoxia's expression also changed.

The people of Hualan are always inclined to compromise and moderation.

If you say she lacks physical strength or exercise, she, who swims and surfs at the beach year-round, will definitely disagree and argue with you endlessly.

But if you're suggesting that Ash carry it while running...

The phrase "lack of exercise" suddenly seemed kind and perfectly acceptable.

"Okay! I just need to rest, a little rest will do!"

She decisively found a flat rock to sit on and rubbed her sore calves.

"I'm really not good at long-distance running, I should really work on it!"

Both of them looked determined to rest.

Xiao Zhi didn't insist and plopped down next to Xiao Xia.

Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and rummaged around in the pile of rubble at the base of the rock wall.

See if there are any interesting little stones to expand its collection.

Xiao Gang leaned against the rock wall, looked up at the sliver of sky above, and said to Xiao Zhi.

Even if you don't find any fossils, being able to see explanations... I mean, being able to touch a fossil Pokémon yourself, that would be a wonderful thing too.

“I’m different.”

Ash put his arm behind his head and stared intently at the azure sky above the rock wall.

"I want to have a match with that legendary fossil aerodragon and see if I've improved in my training with Wataru's Dragonite during this time."

While in the hunting area, his brother Dragonite, a master of cheat codes, guided him to use the peculiar power within his body.

Although it's been a short time, I've already grasped some of the basics.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu poked its head out from the pile of rubble, clutching a shiny little stone in its paw, and waved it vigorously in agreement.

Just as Xiaoxia was about to interject, Xiaozhi suddenly moved.

He suddenly twisted his neck to the top of the rock wall on the right, his eyes fixed on a certain direction.

Pikachu followed suit, perking up its ears.

"what happened?"

Xiaoxia was startled by this reaction.

"It looks like something is coming."

Xiao Zhi squinted his eyes.

I followed his gaze.

On the rock face, a huge black shadow stood against the wind, its head peeking out.

The afterglow of the setting sun poured down from behind it, gilding its outline with a dazzling golden edge, making it almost impossible to see the details.

But that pose, that silhouette, anyone who studies fossil Pokémon would not mistake it.

"This is....."

A pair of huge wings, rough as rocks, with wing membranes trembling slightly in the wind.

Its head was covered with sharp horns and bony protrusions, and its eyes gleamed in the backlight.

It slowly spread its wings, as if announcing its existence to the whole world.

Then, it raised its head and let out a deafening roar.

"Ow-!!"

The sound echoed back and forth in the canyon, causing boulders to fall from the rock walls.

"...It's a fossil pterosaur!"

Xiao Gang opened his eyes.

And judging by its size... it's even bigger than my dad's!

I was just about to take a picture.

However, the next second, everyone's expression froze.

There stood that majestic fossil pterosaur.

That ancient dragon that had just been overlooking all living beings from the rock face, letting out a kingly roar—

He stepped into thin air.

Perhaps the rocks on the edge of the cliff are not strong enough due to years of weathering, or perhaps it was so focused on posing that it forgot to look down.

In short, its massive body suddenly stumbled and plummeted straight down the rock face.

The fossil pterosaur frantically flapped its enormous wings, trying to regain lift.

However, its movements were stiff and clumsy, and the direction and frequency of its flapping were completely wrong. Not only did it fail to take off, but it also tumbled several times during its descent.

It was about to land face-first, making intimate contact with the ground at that speed.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhi did not hesitate.

He instantly used high-speed movement, then kicked and pushed off the rock face, using the protruding rocks to quickly climb up.

Ash spread his arms in mid-air and accurately met the falling, massive body.

The fossil pterosaur crashed heavily into his arms.

Ash showed no intention of letting go. Instead, he tightened his grip and, just before landing, used his waist and abdomen to perform a clean roll to dissipate the force of the Aerodactyl.

Gravel flew everywhere, and dust rose into the air.
