Not a Trainer This Time Chapter 322

Chapter 322 Making friends with lava bugs (5000)

 Through a narrow mountain road, traces of other Pokémon appeared in front of them.

They are a group of Pokémon that are strong, look like rocks, and have a pair of muscular arms.

 “So many little fist stones!”

Zhi Shu looked around and saw small fist stones floating on the mountain road, wandering there.

There is also a small fist stone that buries half of his body into the ground, blending in with the surrounding environment. Only a pair of eyes and the top of his head are exposed to observe him and Gu Ledun.

The number of small fist stones on this mountain road is particularly large. From what he can see, there must be at least fifty or sixty.

 Guluton and Babu Tubo also saw those small fist stones floating in mid-air.

For the Pokémon of these bodies like stones, but can leave the ground floating, Papu Tu Da was very surprised. He quickly pointed to a floating boxing stone and asked how it did.

 Zhi Shu looked at the situation and roughly guessed what Babu Tubo meant.

  But this question involves his knowledge blind spot.

Logically speaking, the small fist stone does not have floating properties, but it can float off the ground like a ghost. This is really amazing.

After thinking for a while, Naoki guessed: "Maybe it has something to do with gravity?"

 “Bamo…”

   Babu did not understand what gravity meant, and had a confused expression on his face.

At this time, Naoki suddenly noticed that Gu Ledun was about to step on a small fist stone hidden in the ground, and quickly reached out to grab it, deliberately letting it go.

 “Huh?” Luton was a little confused at first, but when he lowered his head and looked at it, he understood immediately.

 Naoki: “Don't step on them.”

It is recorded in the illustrated book that Pokémon such as Fiststone have a bad temper, are tough, and rough. Once someone steps on them, they will get angry.

Although Guluton is very strong, there are so many small fist stones here. Once a riot breaks out, it will be troublesome.

With the idea that more trouble is worse than less trouble, Naoki led two Pokémon around the group of small fist stones.

 About thirty minutes later, they finally climbed halfway up the mountain.

At this time, Zhi Shu also smelled a faint smell of sulfur in the air.

 The surrounding temperature also increased a lot unconsciously.

All of this is saying: Hell Valley is here!

 “It's here!”

 Zhi Shu suddenly became energetic, and Babu Tubo was also very excited.

As a few people went deeper, the surrounding temperature became higher and higher, and from time to time, a stream of milky white gas could be seen spewing out from the mountain road.

In this hot environment, Zhi Shu and Babu Tubo were sweating profusely. In comparison, Guluton was much better.

 It's too hot... No wonder this place is used as a training place by those trainers.

This kind of environment is indeed an excellent place to hone perseverance and character.

There are many fire-type Pokémon living nearby.

Not far away, several Dairubi were observing the situation vigilantly. Some Dairubi let out a series of terrifying long howls, using this method to convey information to nearby companions.

Zhi Shu took one look and understood immediately.

This place seems to be the territory of those Dairubi!

At this moment, a sound of fighting suddenly came from the front.

The group of vigilant Dairubi suddenly turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound.

That is the only way to go deeper into Hell Valley, and Naoki continued to move forward.

After crossing a rocky road, the scene ahead appeared in front of them.

A young man is directing a battle between a Blazing Monkey and a wild Heiluga.

That flaming monkey was very powerful and easily defeated Heiluga in just a few rounds.

Looking at Heiluga who fell to the ground, the trainer took out the elf ball and took Heiluga inside.

Derubi, who was surrounding him, dispersed in a hurry upon seeing this, and soon disappeared.

The young man didn't care much. He put Heiluga's elf ball away and planned to turn around and leave.

 But at this moment, the two people's eyes met.

At a glance, the young man saw the mysterious Pokémon with a scarlet body and a strong body not far away.

And the Pokémon next to him with pink fur, a red cape tied behind his back, and a small silver hammer in his hand.

The young man's eyes showed interest. The flame monkey beside him felt the trainer's heart, and the flames on his body burned more and more fiercely.

Zhi Shu waved his hand and said hello proactively: "Hi, how are you?"

The young man is full of fighting spirit: "You are also a trainer who comes here to practice, right? Since we have met, why not have a Pokémon battle here!"

 Zhi Shu: “…” Sure enough, he knew it!

 The moment the trainer's eyes meet, the battle is about to begin!

But it was too hot here, and he didn't want to stay any longer. He just wanted to find the lava worms quickly and go back to town to eat apples.

"No, I'm not here to practice." Naoki refused: "I'm just here to look for a Pokémon."

 After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but the young man ran to catch up with him.

 “Looking for a Pokémon? What kind of Pokémon it is, maybe I know it!”

Zhishu glanced at him.

The young man explained: "I have been practicing here for a month, and I am very familiar with the Pokémon that live nearby! I can help you find them, as long as you and I have a Pokémon battle!"

 Naoki: “…”

Aren't these trainers too obsessed with Pokémon battles?

However, in order to find the lava worms and leave this hot place as soon as possible, Zhi Shu still stopped and asked: "Do you know where there are lava worms?"

Young man: "Lava worms? Of course I know!"

 Very good, Naoki said simply: "Then let's have a battle now!"

 “Eh?!” The topic jumped too quickly, and the boy couldn't react for a while.

 But soon, he came back to his senses, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "I'm looking forward to it! Flame Monkey, it's about to go!"

The flame monkey nodded coldly, and then took a step forward.

Zhi Shu sent Gu Ledun.

 There are not many restrictions on Pokémon battles in the wild. Once the trainer and Pokémon are in place, the battle will officially begin.

The young man looked at Gulton and said, "Although we have never seen that Pokémon, we will never lose! Flame Monkey, Flame Wheel!"

The command was given, and the flames on the Blazing Monkey's body roared loudly.

Flame enveloped its body, and the Blazing Monkey rushed straight towards Guledun.

Zhi Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at this scene, and said directly: "Go full blast!"

 “Ah gah!”

Huluton nodded slightly, and the scarlet body jumped up, crimson energy flowing on it, and the ancient aura instantly filled the air.

 Its form changed rapidly, with the force of shattering the earth, as it faced the Flame Monkey.

 The two Pokémon collided directly with each other. The terrifying energy continued to impact, and then a violent explosion occurred.

 The Flame Monkey was blown away on the spot and fell to the ground losing the ability to fight.

Young man: “???”

 So...so strong!

The young man's face was full of shock, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

What kind of Pokémon is that? Why did he kill the flaming monkey he was most proud of in one move?

You know, he is a trainer who has participated in the Suzuran Tournament and achieved the top eight!

 But now, he was defeated by his opponent with one move...

 The young man's brain was running rapidly, and then he came up with a shocking idea.

Is it possible that this person is a champion trainer?

Seeing that the young man looked confused, he seemed to have not yet reacted.

Zhi Shu coughed a little embarrassedly: "It's over."

The young man was subdued. He stepped forward and fed the Blazing Monkey a bottle of medicine to restore physical strength, and then put it back into the elf ball to rest.

“I'm willing to admit defeat, I will take you to the lava worm's habitat now!” the young man said.

 “Thank you.” Naoki thanked him. Now he could save a lot of time.

"You are not from Beishang Township, are you?" The young man asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, my name is Helian, what about you?"

"Zhi Shu." Zhi Shu replied: "I came from the Padia area." "Padi, Padia area?" Helian's face was shocked, that was on the other side of the planet! Coming from so far away to this place…

"Yes." Naoki nodded slightly: "I'm here on a business trip."

No wonder, Helian suddenly realized, no wonder he didn't recognize these two Pokémon. They turned out to be Pokémon from the Padia region!

 He took out the Pokédex and scanned Gullton and Baboo.

  The answer was "Cannot be found, it belongs to an undiscovered Pokémon type".

Seeing that he was curious about Gulton and Babu, Naoki introduced: "This is just Gulton, and this one is called Babu. They are Pokémon from the Padia region. Are you from Sinnoh?" ?”

Helian opened his eyes wide: "How did you tell?"

Naoki: "...Because the Blazing Monkey is the third member of the Three Kingdoms issued to new trainers by the Sinnoh Alliance."

Helian smiled sheepishly: "I almost forgot, but having said that, you are really strong. Your strength should have reached the championship level, right?"

"I don't know either." Naoki shook his head. It was difficult to discuss this topic. After all, he had never participated in the championship assessment.

Moreover, most of his Pokémon are produced by eating food, so it is difficult to evaluate them.

Helian was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Zhi Shu said truthfully: "I have never participated in the championship assessment because I am a rancher by profession. This time I came to Beishang Township to have agricultural exchanges with farmers here."

Helian: “???”

 He opened his mouth, even more shocked.

He knows about ranchers, and he also knows about farmers, but the question is why is the rancher in front of him so different from the rancher in his impression?

"I feel that if you participate in the Suzuran Tournament held in the Sinnoh region with your ability, you have a high chance of becoming the champion directly." Helian said.

“Suzuran Conference?” Naoki raised his eyebrows. When he heard these four words, the first thing he thought of was the Beast Boy in the anime.

"That's right! That's the biggest conference held in the Sinnoh region!" Helian introduced: "Only trainers who have collected eight badges can challenge!"

“If you win the championship, you will not only get fame and a large bonus, but you will also get the opportunity to compete with the regional champion, Miss Sirona, in a Pokémon battle!”

　　Sirona... A figure of a cold-haired lady with blond hair appeared in Naoki's mind. He smiled and shook his head and said:

“Everyone's ambition is different! Rather than becoming a champion, I want to live with the Pokémon I like.”

 “I understand.” Helian nodded.

 At this time, the surrounding temperature is getting higher and higher.

Helian, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, was so hot that he took off his clothes and his face turned red: "It's too hot... I can't stand it anymore!"

Zhi Shu's clothes were all soaked with sweat. He exhaled a breath of hot breath and silently said in his heart that calmness will naturally cool down.

Helian looked around, seeming to confirm something.

Then, he ran to a hillside. After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, he immediately turned back and shouted: "Zhishu, come here quickly! The lava worms are here!"

 Zhishu ran over quickly.

I saw a large group of red lava worms lying on the hillside that was turned white by the sun.

The surrounding rubble piles are constantly erupting hot volcanic gas upwards, and the lava worms are crawling around slowly, looking very lively.

Finally found!

 Zhishu's eyes lit up.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed the strange sight on one of the lava bugs.

The lava bug's body is emitting a colorful light that looks like crystals at this moment, and a red candlestick is on top of its head.

That is... too crystalline? !

 Zhi Shu was confused.

Isn't this wrong? Beishang Township is so far away from the Padiya area, why is there Taijinghua here?

 Helian on the side also noticed that scene.

He was also very puzzled: "I don't know what it is. That lava bug is not the first Pokémon to turn into such a Pokémon. In the past month, I have encountered several strange-looking Pokémon here. Kamu, after knocking them down, they will return to their original state.”

 “That's Tai Jinghua.” Naoki explained.

 “Too crystalline?” Helian was stunned for a moment.

“It is a magical phenomenon that occurs in the Padia region. The energy of the Taijing envelopes the Pokémon's body, temporarily changing their attributes and making the moves they use become more powerful, just like...”

 Naoki originally wanted to say it was the same as mega evolution, but at this time, mega evolution may not have come out yet, so he changed his words midway:

“It's similar to the Dynamax in the Galar region.”

 “What is Gigantamax?” Helian was even more confused.

 Naoki: “…”

 He couldn't help but ask: "Don't you pay attention to news from other regions?"

Helian scratched his head in embarrassment: "Because those places are too far away from us...and I usually travel outside and don't have the chance to watch the news."

 “Okay.” Naoki thought of the way Helian used the Pokédex to scan Gulton just now.

His Pokédex should only be a regional Pokédex for the Sinnoh region, not a national Pokédex, so it does not record information about Pokémon from other regions.

Coupled with the communication limitations of this era, the network is not yet developed, and some trainers basically have no channels to understand the situation in other regions.

Thinking of this, Naoki said: "If you have the chance, you can go to the Galar and Padia regions to see for yourself."

Helian: “I will!”

Zhi Shu looked at the group of lava worms and said to Babu:

 “Babu Tudou, I leave it to you!”

 “Bamo!”

 Seeing so many lava worms, Babu Tubo could no longer hold himself back.

Following Naoki's order, it took out the fruit and flew over, and introduced itself to the lava bugs with some embarrassment.

 “Bamo Bamo!” (Hello, I am Babu Tubo, I want to become good friends with you!)

The group of lava worms looked up at Babu Woodchuck and blinked one after another.

Soon, the lava bug, which was not interested in the Babu woodchuck, looked away and continued to crawl slowly on the ground.

  Babu Tubo is so disappointed.

 “Bamo…”

 Because almost all the lava worms in front of him ran away.

But at this moment, a relatively small lava bug slowly crawled in front of it.

Babu's attention was immediately attracted and he turned his head to look at the lava bug.

 The lava bug looked at the fruit in its hand with its yellow eyes.

Babu landhog looked down at the fruit, then at the lava worm, then happily stretched out his flesh pad and handed the fruit over: "Bamo!"

The lava worm stretched its head, took the fruit from the hand of the Babu woodpatch with its mouth, and then ate it happily.

   Babu Tubo happily extended his hand to it: "Bamo?" (Are you willing to be my good friend?)

　　The lava bug that had finished eating the fruit looked up at this strange Pokémon and blinked in confusion.

 “Goooo?”

Baboo explained: "Bamo!" (A good friend is a good friend! I will give you a lot of berries, and we will play together every day. If any Pokémon bully you, I will knock them all down. !)

The lava bug had never heard of such a thing. It followed Babu's words and imagined it, and then it began to spray white smoke all over its body.

 For a time, the sound of "bang bang bang" resounded throughout the entire cliff.

Babu Tubo was slightly startled. Having watched "Warm House of the Lava Bug", he understood the meaning of the lava bug in an instant.

 This means that this lava bug is very happy now!

Babu Tubo's eyes were shining with anticipation, and he took the opportunity to ask: "Bamo?"

The lava worm looked at it, then made another thumping sound.

Seeing this, Babu Tubo turned back and glanced at Zhishu.

 Naoki handed it a Poké Ball.

At the invitation of Babu Groundhog, the lava bug happily lived in the Poké Ball and planned to go home with Babu Groundhog.

 “Bamo!”

 The Bubba was so happy that it successfully made new friends. It flew back with the lava bug's Poké Ball and handed it to Naoki.

Helian, who witnessed the whole process, was shocked and stunned.

  Nani? !

This, this, this…

Is it still possible to conquer Pokémon like this?

 No, that's not right! This Bubba woodchuck actually tamed a lava bug!

 But will the lava bugs subdued by Babu Tubo obey Naoki's command?
