Trainer on Dragon's Back

Bai Ze advised it to land and rest.

But it doesn't.

Get a taste of flying.

I never want to put my feet on the ground again.

"I can understand how you feel, but holding on like this is not a solution. Can it be that a bird flying in the sky will never land?" Bai Ze said earnestly.

"Then... let's take a break!" Groudon summoned countless cliff swords at the bottom of the sea and walked on the sea surface, seeming to be much more relaxed.

"You can practice slowly in the future, and your flying speed will increase as you practice. Now you have to speed up and take us to find the exit of the secret realm as soon as possible." Bai Ze looked around at the endless sea, unable to tell east, west, south, and north from each other, and had no idea where he was.

"It will take at least five days even if we speed up!"

Groudon was forced to change his itinerary.

Although I have no complaints in my heart.

But the journey back will be much longer.

Walking on the sea for so long.

It almost forgot where it came from or where it was going. Once one of the three gods of Hoenn, it is no longer in the Hoenn continent or the Hoenn region.

"Five days? So, you will be with us for five days." Bai Ze plans to treat this journey as an adventure and see if there are other islands along the way. If he is lucky, he might discover a new continent.

of course.

There is another situation.

This secret space connects to the elf world.

Just walk and walk and you will arrive there.

It is equivalent to traveling through time again.

It's not impossible that this could happen.

"I'll sacrifice myself." Groudon risked his life to accompany the gentleman, as a way of repaying Bai Ze for teaching it the flying skills. This kindness is higher than the sky and wider than the sea.

"Since you said so, can you let me ride on you?" Bai Ze suddenly had an idea. He had long wanted to experience whether it would be cool to ride Groudon, so he took this opportunity to propose it, making it impossible for it to refuse.

"You can fly, why do you want to ride me?"

"Because you're handsome."

"..."

Groudon didn't know how to respond for a moment.

This praise makes it feel a little embarrassed.

Human's little thoughts.

It's nothing more than wishing to ride a divine beast.

Even though he was extremely reluctant, in the end, only Bai Ze was allowed to ride on its back. He didn't think there was anything wrong with being ridden by his eldest brother, but others were not allowed to do so.

Jiang Bei was watching from the side, feeling extremely envious. It was impossible to ride Groudon, the most he could do was touch its rough red armor skin.

On the vast sea.

Groudon walked slowly with Bai Ze on his back.

Silver Winged Dragon and Shining Metagross followed closely behind.

They dare not fly too fast.

Very fast.

Have to turn back.

Why go through so much trouble?

Since Groudon is leading the way, we must move forward according to its walking speed or low-altitude flying speed.

It was almost noon, and Bai Ze was planning to stop for lunch before continuing on his way, but Jiang Bei suddenly shouted inexplicably: "Look, there is a small island ahead, it seems to be a small desert island, should we go there to rest?"

Following the sound, we found a small island, which looked particularly abrupt in the vast ocean. It was not large but we could vaguely see sand dunes all over the island.

The island has no vegetation.

There is no green either.

The towering sandstone in the middle is particularly eye-catching.

Needless to say, they would definitely land on the island.

Anyway, Bai Ze has long forgotten about the Rainbow Island and Ho-Oh. With Groudon's help, he hopes to find the exit of the secret realm smoothly.

"What a strange island. It looks like a desert and is so lifeless." Jiang Bei walked around the shore and didn't dare to go too deep into it. It is better to be cautious about unknown areas.

According to Bai Ze's observation, apart from a large area of ​​sandstone as tall as a mountain in the center of the island, the surrounding area is full of rolling sand dunes and flowing sand. The environment is extremely harsh and not very suitable for the survival of organisms. There are no drought-resistant plants such as cacti.

Groudon was the last to arrive on the island.

Feet on the sand dunes.

The knees are sunken directly below

Hesitate for two seconds.

Still not going in.

The elf's intuition told it that this sand dune island was full of traps and the sand underneath was flowing, and it would be trapped if it was not careful.

"You can fly, right? What are you afraid of?" Bai Ze saw Groudon's concerns. It turned out that it also had moments of caution. Quicksand was scary, but it could be easily broken if it could fly.

"Who said I'm afraid? I just don't want to collapse this pitifully small sand dune island. If you're interested in exploring, go ahead." Groudon said he would wait for them to come back on the shore before continuing on his journey.

"Don't sneak away!"

"Do I look like that kind of...divine beast?"

"Who knows."

"Go and come back soon."

"Why rush? Let's eat first."

Since there was no shade on the Dune Island, Bai Ze had to take Jiang Bei and Silver Winged Dragon into his personal space to solve the lunch problem.

After eating and drinking, it is natural to explore this lifeless sand dune island, just as a small adventure on the way to broaden your horizons.

Although it is impossible to understand what kind of secret space the Rainbow Island is in, since the moment I met Groudon, it is enough to show that these special secret realms have no boundaries and have some inexplicable common characteristics.

so far.

Still haven't seen the shadow of the mainland.

This sand dune island is located in the vast ocean.

It is the second island besides the Rainbow Island.

So it cannot be taken lightly.

"let's go!"

Jiang Bei stepped into the island with excitement.

Be careful to test your feet throughout the process.

Generally speaking, places with sand dunes and deserts should have drought-resistant succulents such as cacti, but there is nothing here, which is indeed a bit strange.

"Be careful, there is quicksand ahead!" Bai Ze pulled Jiang Bei in time to prevent both of them from getting stuck in it, because the quicksand here was not very obvious.

Wow~

Rusty~

Except for the sound of flowing sand.

There were also some strange and subtle movements.

Bai Ze immediately expanded his perception range, his expression suddenly became excited, and informed Jiangbei that there were a large number of ground-type elves living under the sand dunes.

"What ground-type Pokémon?"

"you guess!"

"Living in the desert, could they be elves like mole rats and sand hippopotamuses?" Jiang Bei frowned and thought about it seriously.

"No!" Bai Ze objected.

"What is that?" Jiang Bei asked.

"There is a large garlic-pounding-pot-shaped nest under the sand dune. These guys are waiting motionlessly for us to fall into it. It seems that they regard us as prey." Bai Ze said with a smile.

"A garlic-pounding bowl-shaped nest? Could this sand dune island be the territory of the giant-jawed ants?" Jiang Bei finally understood and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"That's right, there are a lot of giant-jawed ants under the sand dunes waiting for us to fall into the trap. The number seems astonishing, making me really want to catch one." Bai Ze continued to perceive.

"The giant-jaw ants will evolve into ultrasonic larvae, which are dragon-type Pokémon. Their final evolutionary form is a desert dragonfly, which is definitely your cup of tea... Since they are here, let's capture them!" Jiang Bei also became excited. You know, groups of wild giant-jaw ants are rare.

"No hurry, let me spy on their nest."

Bai Ze half squatted down.

Close your eyes.

Focus your attention on perception.

It is not difficult to roughly figure out the size of their nest, but the sandstone in the center of the island that is as tall as a mountain seems to be hollow, and there seems to be another world inside, full of vitality. So Bai Ze suggested flying over the sandstone first to see the situation.

Jiang Bei acted quickly, immediately riding on the back of the Shining Metagross, and ascended into the sky with Bai Ze. You wouldn't know until you saw it, and you were shocked to see that the huge sandstone body in the center of the island was indeed hollow, with lakes, trees, and forests inside, full of greenery, in sharp contrast to the harsh desert environment outside.

"Oh my god, what's outside is a fake!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Aze, it's a good thing you have the ability to perceive."

"Then let's go straight in."

"Look over there, there's a giant steel snake coiled on top of the sandstone. It seems to have discovered us and is throwing rocks over here." Jiang Bei's eyes were very sharp, because this was a giant, shining steel snake, its entire body was golden in color, blending in with the sandstone, and its camouflage was perfect.

Don't pay attention.

It’s really not that easy to find.

At this point it initiates the rockfall.

Mainly to shoot down aerial invaders.

Bai Ze signaled the Shining Metagross to follow him and fly upwards, quickly creating distance between himself and the wild Steelix to avoid being hit by falling rocks, and then find a way to deal with it.

"It's actually a shiny Steelix... I was so focused on the environment inside the sandstone that I didn't notice there were several Onix hiding around it." Bai Ze couldn't help but squint his eyes. In addition to the shiny Steelix that attacked them, there seemed to be an ambush in the sand around the sandstone.

"Where is Onix?" Jiang Bei didn't see it.

"In the sand!" Bai Ze pointed out.

"Oh my god, they're all shit green and yellowish Onixes... they're all flashing!" As Jiang Bei spoke, Onixes came out of the sand one after another and gathered around Steelix.

I guess it’s the environmental impact!

For better disguise.

Their skin color is close to the color of sand.

There are a total of one wild Steelix and five wild Onix. The wild Steelix at the head should be the leader of the five wild Onix.

Jiang Bei was just about to touch his pocket to take out the Poké Ball and call Pokémon out to deal with them, but he found that his pocket was empty.

Uh, he seemed to have forgotten that all the Poké Balls were embedded in Bai Ze’s space compass, and all the Pokémons were also released in the underground world of his portable space. Only the Shiny Metagross was carrying him, and he had no other Pokémons in his hands to use. How embarrassing.

This is the downside of letting the elves run wild.

You have to remove the Poké Ball in advance to use the Pokémon.

Once something happens.

There was no time to call the elves for help.

"This……"

Jiang Bei shook his empty trouser pockets.
