Chapter 310 Adu's Headache
Deep in the core area of Baiyin Mountain.
With Dragonite's accelerated flight, this more primitive area finally came into Luo Mu's field of vision.
Along the way, there were Pokémon that were much stronger than the one called Ursa Major that attacked Luo Mu and Dragonite. The one that impressed him the most was a giant Steelix that was 11 or 12 meters in size.
The opponent was lurking in a tall mountain. The moment Dragonite flew over, it leaped to Dragonite's height with its super jumping ability that was not in line with its huge body. The long tail made of steel was about to wrap around Dragonite and Luo Mu.
Originally, according to the flying altitude that Dragonite usually likes, Steelix would have absolutely no chance of coming into contact with Luo Mu and Dragonite. However, in order to deter those poachers, Luo Mu chose to let Dragonite fly at a low altitude.
Fortunately, Dragonite reacted quickly, using his increasingly skilled skills to control the strong wind. He used the wind force to shift his position and avoided Steelix's attack by a hair's breadth. Then he used a huge blast of fire to blast Steelix into the mountains.
The scorching dragon flames made Steelix suffer from high temperatures all the time, not to mention touching Dragonite and Luomu who were well prepared. It was weak to fire and could only choose to dig a hole underground to put out the flames on its body while avoiding the revenge of Dragonite and Luomu.
Luo Mu and Dragonite naturally would not waste time staying here to cause trouble for Steelix. Instead, they were surprised by the appearance of Steelix.
A Steelix of that size and strength could not possibly live in the outer area. Its existence showed that Luo Mu and Dragonite were close to the core area of the Silver Mountains, where the Banjiras tribe usually lived.
Although it is called a tribe, Pokémon like Bankiras actually have a strong sense of territory. Just like the previous Ursaring, male Bankiras is full of possessiveness over his territory and does not allow other creatures to step in or mess around.
Completing the two stages of evolution also means that Banguilas has reached adulthood, and an adult Banguilas will not allow other male Banguilas to stay in his territory. This also means that as long as the newly adult Banguilas leaves the form of Shakilas, he will face being driven away by his father, who is like a Sichuan opera face-changing.
Female Bankiras will often only live with male Bankiras when they are protecting newly born elf eggs. After the male Bankiras expels his offspring, if they like the male Bankiras, they will choose to continue living with him, or directly leave the male Bankiras's territory and return to their own territory or find a new territory.
Therefore, Pokémon like Bankiras usually travel alone.
But Luo Mu's target is not those solitary Bankiras. When they choose their territory, they often do not take the high nutrient content of the underground soil into consideration. After all, they are now Rock + Dark Pokémon, not Rock + Ground Pokémon.
They are fully capable of and have the ability to find other better foods instead of eating soil.
But it’s different for the Banguilas couple who have parenting needs. They use their innate ability to find areas with the richest nutrients in the underground soil and then occupy them as their territory.
Even if the territory that the Bankiras couple coveted had an original owner, there were few wild Pokémon that could compete with a Bankiras, let alone two Desert Tyrants.
The ending is often that the original owner of the territory is forced to leave due to the combined power of the two desert tyrants, and the two Bangilas couples take over the mountain as kings and begin the process of raising offspring step by step.
The sun in the sky was at its hottest, and near noon, Luo Mu and Dragonite finally discovered a trace that might be related to Bankiras.
It was in a conspicuous, empty rocky area with little vegetation.
The originally clear blue sky was now covered by a thick layer of yellow-gray dust, as if the huge sky curtain had been ruthlessly torn apart, leaving a chaotic background.
The air was filled with the smell of sand. Even though he was still some distance away from the rocky area, Luo Mu could still smell a dry and pungent scent.
The grains of sand became gradually blurred under the blowing of the strong wind, as if they were kneaded into flowing waves by a huge force. If you get closer, in addition to the whistling sound of the wind, you can also faintly hear the chilling roar of beasts coming from the inside of the sandstorm.
Even though they were in the sky, Luo Mu and Dragonite could sense the faint vibrations on the ground below.
The usual characteristic of Banguiras is to raise sand, which is why it is called the Desert Tyrant, but a Banguiras will not make such a big noise for no reason.
Luo Mu quickly took out a set of equipment that he often wore when entering the desert from his backpack, and changed it on Dragonite's back.
Only after putting on the last pair of sand-proof goggles did Luo Mu pat the Dragonite under him.
"Let's go in and see if it's the one we think it is."
Although clothes that completely cover more than 90% of the body may make people feel uncomfortable in this hot summer, it is much better than running into a world of flying sand and then having the sand penetrate into the eyes, nostrils and skin.
Dragonite nodded slightly, held its breath, and rushed into the territory that seemed to be the Desert Tyrant in one breath.
In the north of the Silver Mountains, located in the far east of the Johto region, there is a modern city built in the mountains.
A'du, who was working with his tribesmen to arrange the Dragon Gathering to be held tomorrow, was attracted by the voice of the communicator he carried with him. Although he had a flamboyant red hair, he was very kind to others. After saying goodbye to the other party with an apologetic look on his face, he came to a quiet place and took out the communicator.
"This is."
Looking at the message from his colleagues, A'Du's expression suddenly became serious, and his whole body exuded an aura of majesty without even getting angry.
If ordinary poachers were acting in the Silver Mountains, Adu would not have much of a reaction. The main problem was the person who told Kona the news. Not only was he a champion-level trainer who would represent the Padia Alliance to arrive in Yanmo City to attend the Dragon Gathering tomorrow, but he was also the hero who prevented the Orange Islands crisis not long ago.
The day before yesterday, Miss Junsha from Manjin City reported that the other party was attacked by Rocket Team soldiers in Manjin City. This made the Johto Alliance tense, fearing that they would neglect this distinguished guest.
But this young trainer actually ran into the Silver Mountains, which is forbidden to enter, without saying a word. From the coordinates provided by the other party, Adu knew that the other party must not have gone through the main entrance, but took a road often taken by poachers.
This gave Adu a headache, as this violated the rules of the Johto Alliance, but the Johto Alliance could not use this as a reason to punish Luo Mu.
Not to mention that if the other party saw the poachers acting recklessly in the Silver Mountains again, how would the Kanto-Johto Alliance, as the alliance headquarters, gain a foothold in front of other alliances in the future?
Not to mention, Adu's own sense of justice and his professional ethics as a Pokémon investigator would not allow poachers to get away with it.
"Cousin, why do you look so sad when you're only in your twenties?"
Xiao Zhuo, a blue-haired boy with completely different hair color from A'du, suddenly appeared in front of A'du who lowered his head, and looked at him curiously with his hands behind his back.
A'Du put the communicator back into his large cloak as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "I have an urgent mission to go out. I will leave my work to you. Is that ok?"
Xiao Qiao smiled at A'du, who had been his idol and pursued object since childhood, and said: "Well, okay, since you, cousin, have begged me, I will reluctantly help you~"
"I'm not begging you. Anyway, don't make any mistakes. The experts who will be visiting tomorrow are experts in using dragon-attribute Pokémon from various alliances. They are very important to us, the Dragon Clan."
A'du looked at his cousin helplessly. Ever since she grew up, he had trouble dealing with her.
After saying that, A'du lifted his cloak and left the main home of the Dragon Taming Clan in a leisurely manner.
If his little fans in the Kanto and Johto regions saw this iconic and handsome move, they would probably scream and then faint from excitement.
Outside, as the wind howled, A'du rode a Dragonite that was significantly different from Luo Mu's Dragonite in many aspects and flew into the sky, heading towards the Silver Mountains not far from Yanmo City.
At the same time, the poachers' jeeps also completely entered the depths of Silver Mountain.
I was glad that I brought a full set of equipment with me, so I didn't have to endure the dancing yellow sand that cut into my body like tiny blades.
Luo Mu and Dragonite hid behind a huge rock, enduring the violent shaking of the ground, staring at the three blurry figures in the dancing yellow sand. "It's impossible that it's them. Aluminum Steel Dragon will appear in the Kanto region!?"
In that world of raging sand, two gray-green behemoths raised their heads and roared, their bodies covered with angular and hideous armor. With every move they made, the earth emitted a miserable humming sound as if it could not bear the heavy burden. The roar was incessant, and the nearby areas were experiencing earthquakes that never stopped.
The Pokémon that was confronting the two Banguirus was naturally the Steelix that Luo Mu mentioned in surprise just now.
The appearance of the Aluminum Steel Dragon is like a two-legged monster like Bangilas, but its body is made of aluminum metal. Its heavy body stands in the yellow sand, and neither earthquakes nor strong winds can shake it at all.
The scene looked like two Godzillas fighting Mechagodzilla, but what shocked Luo Mu was the Alcatelron.
Steelix is a Pokémon introduced from the Galar region in the eighth generation "Sword/Shield". It has the attributes of steel and dragon. How come it is also found in Silver Mountain?
At this time, the Aluminum Steel Dragon let out a threatening dragon roar, opened its big mouth in the yellow sand, and wrestled with a Bangiras. At the same time, bright silver beams of light kept spewing out of its mouth, colliding with another Bangiras that was spewing out dark waves.
For a moment, it seemed that the Aluminum Steel Dragon was not at a disadvantage at all.
Looking at the three giant beasts fighting each other in the yellow sand, causing a roar in the sky, Luo Mu frowned and remembered something.
He remembered that, because the habitats of Banjiras and Alphadon overlapped to a great extent and they both liked to feed on rocks, these two Pokémon were almost universally recognized enemies in the Galar region.
Almost every time they meet, they will engage in a life-and-death battle. Of course, the real situation will not be that tragic. No matter whether Bangilas or Altanon wins, they will choose to drive the other out directly.
The two Bangilas were obviously a little young, and were held back by the Aluminum Steel Dragon in a way that divided the battlefield. For a while, they were completely unable to take down the Aluminum Steel Dragon.
Moreover, according to Luo Mu's observation, the two Bangilas were obviously very restrained during the battle. They never shook the earth at the same time to launch an extremely effective attack on the Aluminum Steel Dragon. Their behavior was also somewhat timid, and their expressions were more like guarding the territory rather than fighting for it.
These speculations made Luo Mu's eyes widen, and he felt that he was close to the truth.
It's probably not the young Bankiras couple who are trying to seize the Aldenius's territory now, but rather the experienced Aldenius who is provoking Bankiras and the others. Perhaps it wants to take advantage of the fact that Bankiras is afraid to use ground-based moves that are extremely effective for it to decide the outcome in one go.
You have to know that a Pokémon like Bankiras can cause a huge roar just by taking steps, and it contains an unparalleled power that is powerful enough to cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack. Even if the illustrated book is exaggerated, it is impossible for it to only produce such a small noise.
This is why Luo Mu and Dragonite were not sure whether the Pokémon inside the sandstorm was Banguirus or Dunjia when they were outside the sandstorm just now.
Outside the sandstorm, one could only feel faint vibrations, which was too little damage to a Pokémon like Banguirus.
Then there is only one truth!
In the ground below here, there are probably the offspring of the two young Bankiras couple. The hatched baby Bankiras are constantly devouring the soil underground, which makes the Bankiras afraid to use their full strength high-powered ground-based moves!
This was obtained without any effort. The half-day search became meaningful at this moment.
Thinking of this, Luo Mu's eyes lit up slightly, and without hesitation he called out two experts in digging holes - the Alola Sandslash couple.
Their steel claws are thick and sharp, and can easily dig through most mountains.
"rustle."
As soon as they left the Poké Ball, Sandslash and his wife looked around and found themselves in a world of yellow sand. There were three giant beasts there PKing in the Imperial City, and their expressions were obviously a little panicked.
Their strength is not outstanding among wild Pokémon. They are just fast at digging holes. Where have they ever seen such a battle?
Fortunately, Steel-attribute Pokémon are naturally immune to most damage from sandstorms, so the Sandslash and his wife at least didn't feel as frustrated as Dragonite, who was harassed by the yellow sand and couldn't control the strong wind to blow the sand away so as not to attract the attention of the Bankiras and his wife and Steelix.
Being stared at with uneasiness by the Chuan Shan Wang couple, Luo Mu gave them a look that said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Perhaps it was because they had seen those powerful Pokémon on the farm that were almost out of their reach, Luo Mu's promise had unexpected weight to the Sandslash couple, and quickly calmed their uneasy expressions.
Taking this opportunity, Luo Mu carefully took out a sack used to hold soil from his space backpack and whispered, "Dig near the most vigorous breath of life under the ground. Don't hurt the other party. Just keep digging out the soil around the other party and put it into this bag."
"If you wake the other one, then tell me and I will go into the cave with you personally so that I can comfort it."
Before, when Luo Mu was in the Eco-Dome of Blueberry Academy, he knew that the hole dug by the Chuanshan King and his wife was just right for him. It was very convenient to get in and out, and it would not get his butt or head stuck.
If the little Kiras who ate and slept underground was awakened by the noise of the Sandshrew and others, Luo Mu would use his usual method to coax it to prevent the Bankiras couple above from knowing.
"rustle!"
The Sandshrew couple looked at each other, nodded to Luo Mu, and then swung their hook-like steel claws to a suitable position and began to dig quickly on the ground. However, within a few breaths, the figures of the Sandshrew couple who were digging the hole together were almost blocked by the new hole.
This efficiency is absolutely amazing.
Luo Mu took out another Poké Ball and released the Monarch Snake.
As soon as it left the Poké Ball, Serpentine frowned deeply. What it hated most was the sandstorm with flying yellow sand. If it stayed there for a while, all its elegance and nobility would be gone.
Thinking this, the monarch snake silently controlled the vines to build a fortress for itself.
Serpent had just entered the sand shelter not long ago, and seeing Dragonite looking at it with a pitiful expression, Serpent sighed helplessly and could only build another one for Dragonite.
The size of the fortress was no larger than the huge rock where they were hiding. In addition, Serpentor was an expert in energy control, and the grass-attribute aura it leaked was almost unnoticeable. The three Pokémon who were fighting fiercely could not notice this side.
Luo Mu looked with envy at the vine fortress that just covered Serpentier and Dragonite, and stopped Serpentier from building a fortress for him.
"I should go down there soon. The biggest threat to me at that time is the full-force earthquake attack that the Benjilas couple will use when they lose their minds. If you see them showing signs of using an earthquake without caring about their own children, then you should show up and suppress them."
"is that OK?"
"Galaka~" "Bowu!"
The Monarch Snake looked so proud. Who did Luo Mu think it was? It was easy to subdue those big guys!
Whether it is using the trick of tying a grass knot or suppressing with pure force, it is 100% sure.
On the other side, Dragonite was also full of confidence. Although the two Banguirus and Steelix were strong, their strength was limited, not to mention that it had improved a lot recently.
Don't give them the chance to use earthquake, magnitude and ground-shattering moves, easily.
After instructing Serpent and Dragonite, Luo Mu stuck his head out to look at the deep cave that led to nowhere and no trace of Sandshrew and his wife could be seen. He crawled in without hesitation.
Now is the time to stock up on high-nutrient soil!
The dozens of sacks in his space backpack are already thirsty!
