Chapter 252 The Steel Giant Blocking the Road
At the second observation station, after nearly three hours of travel, Luo Mu and Aoki finally arrived here.
After spending time fighting with Roaring Moon, it was not long before dawn. The two entered the Second Observation Station with hope, whose layout was almost the same as the First Observation Station, but left in disappointment in the end.
There is no way to contact the areas below here either, but it is possible to connect to the communication equipment specially reserved by the 1st Observation Station. This can only mean that there is a problem with the 3rd or 4th Observation Station below.
Aoki's Warrior Eagle was gloriously wounded in the battle with Roaring Moon. Its thigh was torn by Roaring Moon and a large wound was left. Even if the flower therapy of Huanhuan can heal the skin wound, the Warrior Eagle will need to rest for at least half a day to ensure that there will be no sequelae. It cannot participate in the battle for the time being.
Fortunately, Aoki brought fully-equipped Pokémon, so there is no shortage of combat power for the time being.
Just a monster from Area Zero caused one of the Four Heavenly Kings and a champion-level trainer to be delayed for a long time. As an area without obvious villains, the dangers within the Padia Pit completely served as the final BOSS.
The two continued to rush towards the third observation station along the route classified as "relatively safe". It was hard to imagine how dangerous it would be in other areas that were not relatively safe.
As they hurried along, Qingmu's eyes repeatedly turned to the high-level ball that was locked tightly around Luo Mu's waist. Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, so Luo Mu said, "You want to ask about the Roaring Moon, right?"
Qing Mu was startled and nodded slightly: "Luo Mu, what are you going to do with it?"
"No matter how you answer, I have to remind you that the monsters in Area Zero are a group of monsters that hunt according to their instincts and are far from modern civilization."
"Some researchers who have faced the horrors of these creatures in the Padya Crater even believe that these creatures should not be called Pokémon, and that even the magical beasts in ancient history are more intelligent than them."
Aoki still had some doubts that he hadn't expressed.
He knew that Luo Mu had opened a farm, where there should be some gentle Pokémon living.
Such as Marely, Braided Sheep, Mount Lamb, Miltank, and some Grass-type Pokémon.
Aoki dared to guarantee that if Luo Mu brought Roaring Moon back to the farm and released it, the first Pokémon would be the ones to suffer.
The Steelix, which they gave a simple treatment afterwards, was also hunted by Roaring Moon, not to mention those Pokémon that had no sharp teeth or claws, had very weak combat capabilities, and whose only worry was how much grass they had to eat today.
After eating these Pokémon, the Moonraker will go hunting in the Padia region, indiscriminately attacking all Pokémon and humans, making it an extremely dangerous target.
However, these guys could actually be captured by Poké Balls, which was something even Aoki had not expected.
From the beginning to the end, everyone who came to explore the Padia Pit never regarded these guys as Pokémon, and after repelling them, they never thought of taming them.
Luo Mu looked directly at Qing Mu and said in a serious voice: "Don't worry, I won't be so reckless."
Luo Mu was well aware of Aoki's doubts. There were many powerful Pokémon in his farm, but there were also weak Pokémon. It would be undoubtedly a foolish thing to just bring back Roaring Moon and let it run wild without doing anything.
He had three considerations when picking up the advanced ball to subdue Roaring Moon.
One was to try to see if the paradoxical Pokémon could be captured like in the game. The other was that even if it was this Roaring Moon, he had sensed some light of rationality in the dragon's eyes, and maybe he could communicate with it after taking perfect measures.
If it doesn't work, beat it up a few times and see if you can tame it.
If communication is still not possible after trying every possible means, then it’s time for the third idea.
Give this Roaring Moon to the two professors or the Padia Alliance for observation and research to deepen their understanding of paradoxical Pokémon.
Moreover, this Rumbling Moon appeared near the road designated as a "safe route". If he and Aoki had not entered the Padiya Pit, it might be the search team formed by Ye Ci that encountered the other party.
Even if the second and third ideas are not realized, you can release this Rumbling Moon to a place far away from the safe route after the dust settles.
Luo Mu felt that his consideration was quite thoughtful.
Seeing that Luo Mu seemed to have a plan in mind, Aoki didn't say anything more. He still had trust in the trainer who defeated him.
Without saying anything more, the two commanded Serpentis and Chrysalis to repel the diurnal wild Pokémon that had become active at dawn, and rushed to the location of the third observation station.
At noon, after a whole morning of travel, the two finally arrived at the middle area of Zone Zero.
The Pokémon responsible for cleaning up attacks by wild Pokémon around the two were also replaced by Mimikyu and Kentaro from Serpentier and Chrysalis.
Aoki's Kentaro was quite sturdy and could carry two people on the journey. In addition, Mimikyu's ability to move with shadows allowed it to jump out at any time to repel wild Pokémon and clear the way for Kentaro. The journey that would have taken at least a day was shortened to half a day by the two of them.
They hadn't encountered any Paradox Pokémon along the way, and just when they thought their luck had changed, they encountered the second Paradox Pokémon on the way to the third observatory.
Looking at the Pokémon that looked like Bankiras in front of him, Aoki's eyes with heavy dark circles widened slightly: "What is this? This is the first time I've seen it!"
The creature in front of me. No, it is more like a mechanical creation than a living creature.
Its body is covered with cold green metal armor, and on the back of the armor there is a "thorn bush" with holes sticking out of it that emits strange green light. The long and thick tail is divided into sections, and green light also glows from the gaps between the joints.
Its overall appearance is almost the same as that of Bankiras, but its cold shape tells Aoki that this guy is definitely not the Bankiras he knows.
But, whatever its connection with Bankiras, now is undoubtedly the time to be vigilant.
This place is very close to the 3rd Observation Station. Maybe it was this big guy that caused the 3rd Observation Station to lose contact.
Aoki clenched the Poké Ball in his hand, intending to "hold on" a little bit.
Just as Qing Mu was about to throw the Poké Ball and command Kentaro to prepare for battle, Luo Mu behind him reached out to stop him and said in a deep voice: "Don't show any intention of attacking, let's just skip it."
Aoki's expression was a little surprised. What was Luo Mu talking about?
The monster from Zone Zero that looked like Bangilas looked at them with its electronic eyes without any emotion the moment they appeared on this road!
