The world's strongest trainer

"Congratulations on the successful challenge!"

It took a long time for Laotai to recover.

His ace Pokémon was hit in the vital point by Shakira with a move called Iron Strike. It was really embarrassing to tell him about it.

The penetrating force hit the vital point, causing a severe concussion to War Hammer Dragon. The skull was thick and hairless, but the key was that the penetrating force could pass through.

Strike the iron.

Can penetrate steel.

This is where the skill name comes from.

Yoji~ Shakira was deeply surprised. When he used the strike iron, he used a little too much force and almost couldn't control the strength. Unexpectedly, the War Hammer Dragon took the initiative to hit it head-on. It seemed to be very powerful against the thirty centimeter thick skull. confidence.

Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. Because Shakira used too much force, he did not hit the protruding area of ​​War Hammer Dragon's skull. Instead, he hit the edge of the back of its head. The attack position shifted, and the force of the penetrating body just hit the back of the head. and spine.

That's why it resulted.

War Hammer Dragon did not lose unjustly.

"This is the Coal Badge."

Houtai came over.

He took out a badge from his pocket.

Bai Ze took the Coal Badge, but he didn't show any excitement. He just smiled and said to Shakira, "We got the seventh badge!"

Shakira flew over and observed the charcoal badge with great interest. The design was a combination of charcoal blocks and Poké Balls. It looked like a treasure chest. It was dark brown in color and there was nothing eye-catching about it.

After getting the badge, Bai Ze decided to explore the scenic spots around Black Gold City. He ran to the auditorium to say goodbye to Xiao Hui and Cheng Wei, and left the Black Gold Gym first, without staying to watch the battle. He took this opportunity to start traveling alone.

Suitable for short trips together.

It's not convenient for long distances.

Bai Ze took Da Zhuang out of the Black Gold Gym and wanted to check out the Black Gold Charcoal Pit, hoping that the adventure would lead to major discoveries.

Heijin Charcoal Pit is the most famous attraction in Heijin City. You can visit it in the past, but you must not affect the coal mining process, otherwise you will be kicked out.

cough~

So much dust!

Da Zhuang doesn't like it here.

He quickly urged Bai Ze to leave quickly.

But Bai Ze still wants to take another look. According to the intelligence sent by Zhuang Zhuang last night, there seems to be abnormal space fluctuations near the Black Gold Charcoal Pit. The Pioneer Association has sent people to investigate and may arrive this afternoon.

There are abnormal space fluctuations, which means that a new secret realm entrance is very likely to appear. Bai Ze wants to get ahead of the Pioneer Association and collect new secret realms.

Take control of the secret realm.

It is equivalent to occupying resources.

Bai Ze needs a lot of training resources, resources that can be obtained without spending money. Although he is not short of money now, who can refuse resources that do not cost money? No wonder he rushed here after challenging the Black Gold Gym.

There are many miners digging coal in the Heijin Charcoal Pit, and most of their partners are hand-powered. The entire coal transportation system is fully automatic, and no hard work is required to transport it.

However, mining the charcoal pit will destroy the living environment of wild Pokémon. Last night, a person on duty discovered that there were strange spatial fluctuations near the black gold charcoal pit. The whole process lasted only five minutes and then disappeared.

The Pioneers Association received the news as soon as possible and immediately concluded that there might be a new entrance to the secret realm near the Black Gold Charcoal Pit. They sent people over overnight to check, but it was a long way and it would take some time to get there.

Bai Ze pretended to visit and did not ask these miners about space fluctuations, so as not to attract the attention of the Pioneer Association. No one knew whether the Pioneer Association had spies among these miners, so it was better to be cautious.

Zhuangzhuang has special intelligence channels.

It is inconvenient for Bai Ze to inquire about this.

Taking advantage of the visit, Bai Ze secretly launched an environmental exploration and faintly sensed abnormal energy less than two kilometers away from the Black Gold Charcoal Pit.

It is currently impossible to determine whether the abnormal energy is related to space fluctuations. Since there are new discoveries, I will go over there to find out.

Men of the Pioneer Association.

Arrived only in the afternoon.

He has time to investigate.

Walking to a remote place, he called the Ultrasonic Larva from the secret realm. To save time, he grabbed the Ultrasonic Larva's legs and flew over while hanging his body.

On the way, we have to pass through sparse bushes and a sour and smelly river with dark water. There is an abandoned mine in the mountains ahead.

"Put me down."

"咿咿～"

The ultrasonic larvae did so.

There was something indescribably weird about the abandoned mine in front of it. It seemed that a very serious collapse occurred inside, and many miners died. What it smelled was the smell of death, so it reminded Bai Ze not to go in.

Bai Ze looked around. The abandoned mine had a cordon in place not long ago, but the cordon was destroyed by someone unknown. There were many hacking marks on the site.

But on the way over just now, no trace of wild Pokémon was found. Logically speaking, there should be no signs of damage, but the hacking marks on the rocks were new, as if they were just made yesterday.

"Aze, be careful!"

Ultrasonic larvae sound early warning.

Unknown creatures rushed out of the abandoned mines.

Bai Ze hurriedly dodged, so that his arm was not cut by the unknown creature. Ding Qing took a look and found that it was the extinct axe-splitting mantis.

The axe-splitting mantis was full of murderous intent and struck Bai Ze again with the rock ax in his hand. It seemed that he regarded Bai Ze as an intruder and launched an attack without any explanation.

At the critical moment, the ultrasonic larvae spit out green dragon breath and drove the axe-splitting mantis ten meters away to ensure Bai Ze's safety.

Swish~

Ax Splitting Mantis wields a giant axe.

His eyes are as sharp as an eagle's.

It seemed to be afraid of the ultrasonic larvae. It was hurt by the dragon breath just now, so it didn't dare to rush up rashly, and looked ferocious.

The Axe Mantis is a species unique to the Xicui era. It evolved from the Scythe. It needs black stones during its evolution. The abandoned mine just happens to have black stones and coal. The reason for the collapse accident is that the black stones were not handled properly.

But why did Splitter, a long-extinct Pokémon, appear here? Now is the Sinnoh era. If there is Splitter in the abandoned mine, then Splitter should be found when mining before, but in fact there is no news.

From this, Bai Ze can conclude that the Axe Mantis has just appeared recently. According to the abnormal spatial fluctuations last night, it is very likely that it ran out of the secret realm. After coming out, it was unable to return to the secret realm and started chopping at the stones.

"Calm down first!"

Bai Ze sent out telepathy.

There is no point in fighting.

Only communication can solve problems.

"Who? Who is talking?" The Axe Mantis was startled and looked around vigilantly. After a while, it realized that it was the boy in front of it who was communicating with it.

"My name is Bai Ze, and I'm here to check out the abnormal spatial fluctuations." But the Axe Mantis didn't understand what he said. It still held the giant rock axe and threatened Bai Ze not to come near. Even with telepathy, there were still communication barriers.

The Axe Mantis lived in the Xicui era and could not understand what the abnormal spatial fluctuations were. It mistakenly thought that Bai Ze was coming to catch it.

Although Pokémon are magical species with very high IQs, not every Pokémon can understand the terms used by humans. This requires a lot of knowledge. Zhuangzhuang is a vivid example. He is smart enough to be Dr. Panda.

Bai Ze saw that the Axe Mantis was about to take action.

He raised his voice again and shouted.

"If you don't understand, I can explain it to you slowly. Please don't chop people, okay?" Telepathy was transmitted into the spiritual world of the Axe Mantis.

At the same time, the ultrasonic larvae also activated their vitality, controlling the surrounding bushes to stab towards the axe mantis. If the axe mantis dared to move rashly, it would pierce its body with branches.

Seeing that the ultrasonic larvae were so strange, the axe mantis subconsciously retreated two steps, with half of its body immersed in the shadow of the abandoned mine. It might hide in the cave at any time. It seemed that it didn't know why it suddenly appeared in this place.

Abandoned mines smell like death.

It's really stuffy staying in there.

If it weren't for the strange black stones scattered on the walls of the cave, it would probably run around. The reason it didn't run around is because it was not sure where it was.

"I guess you came out of a secret realm, right? This is the Sinnoh era, not the Chrysanthemum Era you're in, nor the Chrysanthemum Era secret realm you're in. I don't want to say this, but the Splitting Mantis has long been extinct."

Bai Ze saw the Axe Mantis' eyes wide open with a look of horror, obviously not believing what he said, so he asked carefully: "Do you understand what I am saying? This is a time more than a thousand years later."

Axe Mantis nodded mechanically.

There was no more viciousness as before.

His face was filled with panic.

"Don't be afraid, I can help you, but you have to tell me how you ended up here?" Bai Ze was afraid that it wouldn't understand.

"I was swinging an axe to chop rocks last night when a strange vortex suddenly appeared around me and sucked me in. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a cave, and the walls around me were covered with many strange black stones." The Axe Mantis tried to express it in the Elvish language.

"Whirlpool? That should be the vortex caused by the distortion of space. Now I can be sure that you come from the secret realm of the Xicui era." Bai Ze frowned thoughtfully.

"Fu~ How do I get back?"

"There is no other way except to reopen the entrance to the secret realm. It seems that there is an unpredictable disorder in time and space, which is why the secret realm of the Qingcui era is connected to the Sinnoh era more than a thousand years later."

"Fu~ How do I open it?"

The Axe Mantis looked at Bai Ze with pitiful eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with its ferocious expression just now. It seemed that it had realized the seriousness of the matter.

If you can't return to the secret realm.

Stay in this strange era.

They will be captured and studied.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come over to check what was going on." Bai Ze spread his hands helplessly. Seeing that the Axe Mantis was no longer attacking him, he felt at ease to explore the situation around the abandoned mine. There was indeed some abnormal space fluctuation energy remaining here.

I just don’t know when the entrance to the secret realm will be opened. Once the people from the Pioneer Association come, they will seal it off.

Axe Mantis hung its head in disappointment. When it learned from Bai Ze that pioneers would come to seal off the abandoned mine in the afternoon and that if it continued to stay there, it would be captured for research, the entire Pokémon world suddenly felt bad.

run!

The first thing it thinks of is running.

Stay away from abandoned mines.

You can save your life.

However, the environment here was too unfamiliar, and the Axe Mantis didn't know where to escape. It turned back after running a short distance.

Bai Ze was not surprised that it turned back. The bushes were sparse and there was no possibility of hiding. Due to the vigorous development of the coal industry, the ecological environment around Heijin City was almost destroyed and the living conditions in the wild were extremely harsh.

The nearby river exudes a sour smell, and the heat waves rolling on the surface will bring the sour smell over, which can be smelled from hundreds of meters away.

As a Bug and Rock-type Pokémon, Spinner must have certain requirements for its living environment, otherwise it would not have become extinct. This is why it turned back.

"Don't look at me like that. You wanted to chop me with an axe two minutes ago." Bai Ze raised his head and met the axe mantis's resentful black eyes. The more he looked at his face, the more he looked like a hairy monkey. There was a kind of appearance that was hard to describe.

The Axe Mantis didn't say anything either.

Follow Bai Ze silently.

It hadn't noticed just now that Bai Ze was emitting a very powerful aura, which made it feel unprecedentedly at ease.

Sonic Larva is also a Bug-type Pokémon. It is always on guard against Axe Mantis, in case it suddenly raises the giant rock axe in its hand to chop at Bai Ze, and does not let it get too close to Bai Ze. Unexpectedly, Axe Mantis is like a fool and insists on following Bai Ze.

The two Bug Pokémon glared at each other.

No one likes anyone else.

"Okay, stop doing this. I have to find a way to open the entrance to the secret realm. If the people from the Pioneer Association come, I won't have the chance to collect new secret realms." Bai Ze looked at the sun rising higher above his head and knew it was noon.

"Why don't you let me try?"

Axe Mantis came up with an idea.

I just don't know if it can be done.

"Then give it a try."

Bai Ze had no other choice at this time.

I saw the Axe Mantis find a stone nearby and swing the giant rock axe in his hand, chopping non-stop like sharpening a knife, imitating what he did last night.

"Is this move Rock Axe?" He remembered that the exclusive skill of the Axe Mantis seemed to be called Rock Axe. It used a giant rock axe to attack the target. The scattered rock fragments would float around, causing damage while also making the venue fall into an invisible rock state.

The flying rock fragments once again caused abnormal space fluctuations. Bai Ze was planning to use the energy stone pendant to collect the entrance to the secret realm when he suddenly saw a red and white figure rushing out and crashing into Bai Ze at an extremely fast speed.
