Chapter 318 Laplace and Dragonite

"The first condition for entering the dragon cave is to pass through the strong tidal vortex in the entrance or break through the strong air flow. Basically, the only test is the strength of the trainer."

Looking at the people who have set off one after another, Zhulan analyzed thoughtfully.

Dorasena also added her own opinion in a leisurely tone: "I have heard of the dragon cave of the dragon family. Most of the area there is caves and lakes. There are Pokémon like the Thorn Dragon family, Mini Dragon and Haxorus, as well as some Pokémon that are closely related to dragons."

"But there are rumors that there is a passage somewhere in the dragon cave, and the passage leads to the real core area of ​​the dragon cave. There are four seasons like spring, and ordinary Pokémon and many dragon-attribute Pokémon live in harmony. It's like a utopia~"

"Utopia!"

Alice beside Zhulan showed a look of longing, and she couldn't wait to enter the dragon cave and meet her new partner.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is attentive.

The information that was a legend to Doracena made Luo Mu confirm one thing.

In the animation, behind the passage deep in the dragon cave is a place called "Dragon Sanctuary". In Luo Mu's opinion, it is very likely related to the so-called hidden trial.

After a while.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, several people also planned to set off to the wide lake behind to find the entrance to the dragon cave.

Doracena rode her Sonic Dragon, and Zhulan used Liebite Land Shark to carry Alice into the dragon cave together. After all, Alice's Dragon Head Digger and Fangya obviously could not take her to move on the lake.

Several people planned to act separately, and Luo Mu did not rashly do anything extra. After all, whether it was Zhulan or Doracena, they were already the top trainers in terms of strength.

Before leaving, Luo Mu took the time to look at Zhulan's Garchomp. Although it did not release its aura, its every move showed its powerful foundation. Its smooth take-off action showed how powerful Garchomp's control over its body was.

This Garchomp was really strong.

Luo Mu and Dragonite gave it a high evaluation.

In fact, the entrance to the dragon cave is not difficult to find.

Riding on the Dragonite flying at a constant speed, Luo Mu's eyes swept over the trainers who were looking for the entrance in the middle of the lake, and sighed slightly.

The entrance is usually not at the bottom of the lake, where only aquatic Pokémon can reach it, and there is no airflow that blocks flying Pokémon, but the entrance is not in the center of the lake, where there is nothing.

The only place that can accommodate a dragon cave like a cave is close to the land, with a lot of soil and rocks.

At Luo Mu's request, Dragonite flew around the edge of the lake at a constant speed and soon found the entrance to the dragon cave.

Looking at the strangely shaped and extremely deep entrance, Luo Mu exclaimed: "It's like an open mouth, even the upper and lower sharp teeth are so beautiful."

Without Luo Mu's words, Dragonite approached the rock dragon mouth that seemed to be able to choose people to eat, and as expected, saw that the lake water below began to form a large vortex at the entrance.

The power of the vortex is very strong. In the darkness, many trainers who set out first and were lucky to find the entrance are fighting against the attraction of the vortex with their Pokémon.

In Luo Mu's opinion, the geographical environment here should not be enough to form a tidal wave. Thinking of the power of Xiaozhuang's trump card, the Thorn Dragon King, which can cause a huge tidal wave in the lake and the sea, Luo Mu roughly guessed the answer.

"Bowu."

Dragonite also frowned and stared at the tidal wave below, as if there was something in the depths that made Dragonite unhappy.

Dragonite's reaction confirmed Luo Mu's guess. After all, there was a distance between the sky and the bottom of the water. The Thorn Dragonite clan and Dragonite should not have a fight. They should break through the turbulent airflow in front of them in one breath.

Those airflows should be created by some flying Pokémon arranged by the Dragonite clan. After all, many flying Pokémon are inextricably linked to dragon-attribute Pokémon.

"But. This level is not enough to stop Dragonite."

After the voice fell, Luo Mu patted Dragonite lightly. Dragonite just flapped its wings lightly, and its body flew forward as if it was pushed by a powerful force.

Then he repeated this step, speeding up the flapping speed of the dragon's wings and increasing the flying speed.

The next moment.

Many trainers who were struggling to move forward with their flying Pokémon in the turbulent airflow suddenly heard a sound.

It was the howling of the wind!

Swish——

The mighty airflow came from far away and descended into the dark and humid huge cave before everyone and Pokémon could react.

The terrifying airflow brought by the orange figure actually dispersed the airflow in the cave. The staggering people only saw an orange figure breaking through the airflow that they had not advanced halfway despite great efforts, and fell into complete silence.

In the dark of the cave, the flying Pokémon that quietly created the airflow was stunned and looked at each other.

What just rushed past?

As they were stunned, the strength of the airflow that continued to reverberate at the entrance of the dragon cave was greatly reduced. When the Pokémon reacted, some cunning trainers took the opportunity to rush out of the airflow coverage in one breath.

The flying Pokémon suddenly felt bad. If they let too many people go at once, they would definitely be deprived of dinner when they returned!

That's the only thing they didn't want!

The flying Pokémon flapped their wings more vigorously, and the airflow, which was much stronger than before, swept across the area again, causing many trainers to complain bitterly. Some trainers even chose to withdraw from here and take the water route instead.

At this time, Shi Jiana, who was riding on the Tyrannosaurus, also found the entrance of the dragon cave. Looking at the violent airflow in front of her, she just said lightly: "Tyrannosaurus, go in directly."

Under the surprised looks of the trainers, although there was no shock brought by the fleeting orange-yellow figure before, the figure of Shi Jiana and Tyrannosaurus strolling forward in the airflow was also very impressive.

Without a strong body and absolute control over the wind, it would be impossible to achieve this level.

Xi Jiana was used to the surrounding gazes, but she didn't understand why those people looked at her with admiration.

As a successor, isn't it natural to do this?

Thinking of this, Xi Jiana lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes like a cattail leaf trembled slightly: "Not enough. In order to be recognized by the Dragon God, I need more powerful power."

"Since there is no Pokémon that can learn super speed, then subdue the mini dragon lineage in the dragon cave."

"Then become stronger through the hidden trial, and then find Rayquaza to complete her"

The environment in the dragon cave is dark, extremely humid, and the internal passages are complicated. If you are not prepared, you may get lost directly inside.

But Luo Mu knows clearly how to find the entrance to the Dragon Sanctuary.

In the animation, after the Rocket Team stole the Dragon Fang from the Yanmo Gym, they took the speedboat by the lake and entered the dragon cave in one breath.

After advancing for a while in the Dragon Cave, Team Rocket accidentally fell into a huge waterfall, and the place connected to that waterfall was the location of the Dragon Sanctuary.

Therefore, the key to finding the Dragon Sanctuary is the waterfall!

While maintaining a constant speed, Dragonite focused most of its attention on its ears, amplifying its hearing, and looking for the violent sound of the waterfall washing over the rocks.

This is not a simple matter. The Dragon Cave is much wider than Luo Mu thought. He has been in the Dragon Cave for an hour, but he feels that he and Dragonite have not even walked half of the Dragon Cave.

However, Luo Mu saw a lot of wild Pokémon living in the Dragon Cave.

Like Dragonite's original form of Mini Dragon, the big eyes that are the same as Dragonite are so cute, and the Ink Seahorse carried by Sea Dragonite, the little guy looks very cute. It seems that because it has not evolved into the Thorn Dragon King, Dragonite has no feeling for the pure water-attributed Ink Seahorse and Sea Dragonite. At most, he just doesn't like their similar appearance to the Thorn Dragon King.

But what surprised Luo Mu the most was that he saw a small group of multiple Lapras (dragons) near a deep water area of ​​the dragon cave.

Pokémon like Lapras usually live in the ocean and move around in groups. Seeing Lapras in the dragon cave near the inland lake of Yanmo City made Luo Mu wonder if there was a passage leading to the outside sea hidden in the deep water area where Lapras lived.

Unable to bear it, Luo Mu stopped temporarily and let Dragonite descend to interact with this group of rare sea elves.

This Lapras group currently seems to be composed of six adult male Lapras and two female Lapras. Among them, there is a small Lapras that is well protected by the two female Lapras and looks at Luo Mu and Dragonite curiously.

"Good boy, do you want to eat something?"

Luo Mu did not hide his desire to lure the little Lapras over with food and let it touch him.

Lapras is a smart and kind Pokémon. At least the Lapras group that Luo Mu encountered did not show much vigilance towards humans, perhaps because they are almost isolated from the world and do not communicate with humans.

When Luo Mu and Dragonite approached, they did not show any stress response or make any extreme actions, but subconsciously protected the little Lapras.

Attracted by the tree fruit that Luo Mu took out, the surrounded little Lapras looked at their parents with eager eyes.

The two female Lapras were also a little helpless. They usually did not go to the land specifically. At most, they would rest on the edge of some small islands, which made them almost have no chance to eat tree fruits.

Not to mention that the tree fruits that Luo Mu brought out now were all ripened by fruit worms, and the taste and effect were X2. In front of this fresh fruit fragrance, it would be strange if the little Lapras could hold back.

Finally, the two female Lapras could no longer bear the request of their only offspring, so they let the little Lapras approach Luo Mu and Dragonite, and happily ate the fruits in Luo Mu's palm.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Mu was finally able to touch Lapras.

I don't know if it's because the little Lapras is still young or this family is like this, but its exposed skin feels inexplicably moist, which makes Luo Mu feel slippery.

The gray shell on the back of the little Lapras feels like the shell of a lobster that has just molted. It feels soft, but it is clearly hard.

It is obviously not fully developed yet, let alone being able to carry people like an adult Lapras.

Satisfied, Luo Mu was in a good mood and distributed a lot of tree fruits to each Lapras. Taking the opportunity, while Lapras' vigilance was almost zero, Luo Mu tried the feel of several other Lapras one by one. In general, the female Lapras felt smoother to the touch, and even the hard shell on the back was well maintained.

On the contrary, male Lapras may have some scars on their bodies due to fighting with other wild Pokémon. The hard shell on their backs is harder and has many scratches.

However, the eight adult Lapras did not give Luo Mu the same feel as Little Lapras, which reminded him of the three characteristics of Lapras -

"Water storage", "hard shell armor" and "moist body".

The touch of Little Lapras, which is different from other Lapras, may be the effect of the hidden characteristic "moist body".

Just like Luo Mu's own Dragonite, because of the characteristic "multiple scales", the dragon scales on its body are denser and stronger than those of its kind, and can reduce more resistance during flight.

In this real world, different characteristics are not only reflected in the black font effect in the game value, but also more reflected in Pokémon.

The "Intimidating" Blazing Roaring Tiger, which is more ferocious than its peers, and the Serpentine Bear, which has a strong sense of dropped items and is obsessed with picking them up.

Luo Mu, who got along well with Lapras by using food temptation, also tried the riding comfort of Lapras. Although it looks like there are many protrusions on the hard shell on Lapras' back, it will become a thousand-year killing scene if you don't pay attention.

In fact, Lapras' back is frighteningly wide, and those protrusions are used for people to hold on. Although it is a hard shell, it is not very uncomfortable to sit on the buttocks. Although the riding experience is not as good as Dragonite, it should be more comfortable to sit with the riding seat.

Before saying goodbye to the Lapras tribe, whose vigilance was completely thrown out of the sky, Luo Mu also specially reminded these smart and docile water elves that it is better to be vigilant when seeing humans later. After all, not everyone is like him who gives a lot of tree fruits just to touch Lapras.

Most of them are poachers who are greedy for Lapras or want to catch their entire tribe.

After all, in the sea near Kanto and Johto, Pokémon like Lapras are very rare, and they are not as rampant as in the well-protected Alola region.

Seeing that the smart Lapras leader understood his meaning, Luo Mu smiled and said goodbye to them, and rode Dragonite to continue to move forward firmly in a certain direction deep in the dragon cave.

In fact, he did not waste time in the time he interacted with Lapras. Even though they were far away from each other, Pokémon like Lapras communicated and connected on the sea through singing and gathered together again.

It is also because of this that Lapras have outstanding hearing. The two spiral structures on their heads that look like buns are used to amplify hearing.

In addition to being able to hear sound waves that humans cannot hear, Lapras can hear the fierce rushing water like waterfalls without much effort.

At this time, Luo Mu and Dragonite were heading in the direction of the "sound of the waterfall" pointed out by Lapras.

This was a straight passage, and there were basically no forks where one had to choose between two, three, or even multiple choices. About half an hour later, Luo Mu heard the sound of the waterfall violently washing over the rocks.

"Pooh!"

The opportunity to become stronger was getting closer and closer, and even Dragonite could not hide its excitement, flying over the rushing waterfall in one breath.

In an instant, Luo Mu and Dragonite were suddenly filled with bright sunlight, and in the vibrant vegetation and flower fields below, Pokémon such as Cotton and Butterfree, which were not dragon-attribute Pokémon, were flying leisurely.

In the distance, young Pokémon such as Bluebird, Roundland Shark, and Sticky Pokémon could be seen playing.

I'm afraid that these Pokémon were collected from other areas by the Dragon Clan using their own energy and raised by themselves.

Luo Mu's sight quickly locked onto the most powerful and largest figure in the Dragon Sanctuary -

That was also a Dragonite.

That Dragonite was several times larger than his own Dragonite. Although it was not as huge as the Dragonite at the Zhenghui Lighthouse, it was still a giant among Dragonites.

Let's call it the Big Dragonite.

But when Luo Mu's sight moved to a Pokémon with blood-red wings parked next to the Big Dragonite and the slightly familiar figure on the Pokémon, he was surprised.

Shijiana actually arrived before him?

At the moment when Luo Mu and Dragonite rushed out of the waterfall, Shijiana, Dragonite and even Dragonite also noticed their arrival. The Dragonite with a good temper, which was more honest than Luo Mu's Dragonite, tilted its head, as if it was a little puzzled that there was a guest visiting today.

But Shijiana, who was asking about the content of the Dragonite trial, clenched her hands slightly under the gray cloak. The person who came was actually him!

Luo Mu, the champion trainer in the Padiya region, subdued the powerful trainer of the God of Fire. Even Shijiana, as the inheritor, had to admit the other party's great achievements.

But this does not mean that she will give up the opportunity to become stronger and continue to become stronger before the prophecy arrives!

After Luo Mu and Dragonite landed on the flower field where Dragonite was, Xi Jiana, who had calmed down, smiled without hostility and looked at Luo Mu who had rolled over from Dragonite, and said, "I've heard of you for a long time, Luo Mu, the champion."

"Just call me Luo Mu, no need to add the word champion, I'm retired now." Luo Mu blinked, and felt that he saw some hidden hostility in the smile on Xi Jiana's face. No, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a fighting spirit. "You are the inheritor of the Meteor People, Xi Jiana, right?"

Luo Mu remembered the identity of this girl as an inheritor, and it seemed reasonable for her to show this fighting spirit.

"Then please allow me to call you Mr. Luo Mu. May I ask if Mr. Luo Mu also came for the hidden trial?" Xi Jiana nodded gently. When her eyes stayed on Dragonite behind Luo Mu, Xi Jiana closed her eyes slightly, and opened her eyes and said, "No, it seems that I said something irrelevant."
