[Pokemon] Late Autumn

None of the three people were talkative, and the desert was very windy and sandy, so they all invariably reduced the frequency of their conversations.

In late autumn, I turned on the GPS on my watch and checked. Sure enough, it was only useful on the outer edge of the desert. When I reached the depths of the desert, the signal was lost again. It was the same result as in the depths of the forest.

Just off the mark.

After a long time, Yamada's Chuanshan King was finally found.

"How about Xiao Jin, did you find anything?"

King Chuanshan shook his head in frustration.

"Is that so..." Yamada couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Could it be buried in the sand? After all, the terrain will change in this windy and sandy weather, so it's normal to not be able to find it."

"It doesn't matter, just walk further in." Dawu comforted him.

"Yeah, maybe we haven't reached the innermost yet." Shenqiu felt that since he could encounter the ruins once or twice, it meant that he was very lucky. "To be honest, I already knew it not long after I came to Fengyuan. There are many ruins in Hoenn."

Yamada nodded, looking proud: "We in Fengyuan have a very long history. There are many legends about super-ancient elves, and there are many relics. There must be hundreds of them, not to mention too many."

several hundred……

The Hoenn region really has a long history.

"Ah, yes." Shen Qiu blinked and suddenly had an idea, "Come out, Riolu."

Yamada was puzzled as to why Riolu was released at this time?

"Use the waveguide to see if there are any strange stones or ruins around," Shenqiu thought for a while, "especially the strange energy fluctuations."

Due to the vicissitudes of the ruins, the geomagnetic field near it will undergo some strange changes over the years, causing the energy field near it to be affected. If Riolu can detect it, it means that the ruins are not far away.

Riolu closed his eyes, centered on himself, and slowly spread the power of the waveguide to the surroundings. However, due to the influence of wind and sand, the detection range of Riolu's waveguide has become smaller.

However, in the field of view of a large waveguide, there is nothing but sand.

"There's nothing strange about it." Riolu sighed and shook his head.

Shenqiu didn't think he could find it right away, so he didn't care. He rubbed Riolu's head and motioned for him to search as he walked.

It is true that the area currently being explored is still too small.

"Yamada-kun, do you have any clues about this ruins?" Daigo suddenly asked.

"Sorry, it really doesn't exist anymore." Yamada shook his head. He thought carefully about whether he had missed anything. "Even this map was made by several seniors who have not personally explored it, but only saw the records from a distance. Those who came down... they only said they saw a ruins in the desert with many strange rocks next to it, and the rest was..."

At that time, as researchers, they all knew what this discovery meant. Although they did not explore it personally due to various reasons, now that there is a mark, whoever discovers this place can better understand the ancient history of Hoenn.

Their research can build a bridge between ancient and modern times.

Yamada has loved studying history since he was a child, and now works in an ancient ruins research institute. Although he is not an archaeological expert, he has a lot of relevant knowledge. Yamada has felt so lucky countless times that his career is consistent with his own preferences.

To get here, he has taken the first ninety-nine steps, and the last step is to find the ruins.

Yamada closed his eyes, then opened them again, staring sharply ahead.

No matter how strong the wind and sand here are, he will definitely find the ruins in the desert!

However, late autumn does not hold many optimistic thoughts.

Since we didn't go in personally but just watched from a distance, it should be very obvious in such a big wind and sand... And now that the wind and sand are so big, it's almost impossible to find a ruin that you don't know may have been buried by the sand.

"I have an idea." Riolu's voice suddenly came in Mid-Autumn's mind.

"What can I do?" Shenqiu looked at Riolu and asked using the waveguide as well.

"Since Mr. Yamada wants to find ruins in the desert, why don't we ask the elves living here?"

It seems...that's really the case?

"But the wind and sand here are too strong, so I didn't see any elves."

Shen Qiu glanced around and shook her head slightly, "There are many elves living outside the area. There is less wind and sand there, but there are no elves here anymore."

Yamada and Daigo didn't know what Miqiu and Riolu were communicating in their minds, but Kuruga, who had been paying attention to Miqiu, discovered that Miqiu and Riolu were "looking at each other affectionately". He understood instantly and irritably He let out a breath of hot breath and moved his eyes to the side.

One look and you know it's starting again.

Suddenly, Shenqiu let out an "ah" in surprise.

"What's wrong?" "What happened?" Yamada and Daigo both looked over.

This is really...why did she accidentally say something.

Late Qiu was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain. Fortunately, the rising sand could cover up her red cheeks: "It's okay, it just suddenly occurred to me... maybe we can ask the elves here."

Daigo understood what Miqiu meant in an instant, and looked at Riolu with his peripheral vision without comment.

Riolu noticed his gaze and nodded seriously.

She coughed lightly and explained to Yamada: "Although Riolu hasn't evolved yet, he is already proficient in using waveguides. He can help."

"I see." Daigo believed in Miqiu and Riolu, "Then let's see if there are any elves nearby."

Riolu released the waveguide again to detect nearby elves. This time, after a long time, it suddenly opened its eyes.

"Sure enough, it's underground." Riolu had already guessed it and was not surprised at all. "It's a group of mandible ants. I'll go and ask."

"Okay, remember to pay attention to safety."

Riolu dug a hole directly in the direction of the waveguide, and the exposed hole was quickly covered by the wind and sand.

"This..." Yamada was stunned.

Underground in the desert, Riolu carefully explored forward in the direction of the waveguide.

After a while, a very open space appeared in front of him. Riolu cautiously released the waveguide and "looked" around, and found many waveguides of large jaw ants scattered around.

This should be the nest of the mandible ant. Such a complex structure is like an underground maze.

But now that it's here, those mandible ants should have discovered itself.

Sure enough, a mandible ant noticed a strange elf appearing here, and immediately screamed loudly to convey the news to his companions.

"Quick, there are foreign enemies here!"

"How did it get in?"

"Stop him!"

"Protect the territory!"

The mandible ants took action one after another and stopped Riolu. One of the larger mandible ants stopped Riolu and said in a very unfriendly tone: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I mean no harm," Riolu slowly took two steps back and used the waveguide to send a calm voice to the other party, "I just wanted to get some information."

The mandible ants thought for a while and stopped: "What message?"

"Have you ever seen strange-shaped rocks here? I heard that there are ruins nearby, which are relatively tall, but I have never been able to find them."

Riolu is very good at dealing with wild elves. It hid it from Late Qiu and the others, and pretended that it was going on its own, so that the wild mandible ants would not be too vigilant.

The mandible ants looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what the ruins meant. They could only understand that the elf in front of them was looking for a strange stone.

After a long time, a mandible ant with a deep voice answered Riolu's question: "We haven't heard the ruins you mentioned, but I have seen strange-shaped stones."

Its jaws are powerful, and although it moves slowly, it is not afraid of Riolu, this strange elf at all.

It approached Riolu little by little, narrowed its eyes and asked slowly: "Are you going by yourself, or with humans?"

This guy is so sharp.

Riolu was silent for a moment, and then said his true intention: "I am not a wild elf, but I guarantee that they are all kind people."

The mandible ants have lived here for a long time and have not seen much, and the elves do not deliberately lie to others. Since this seemingly upright elf said so, they easily believed it. What Riolu said.

The mandible ants murmured and started discussing.

"Speaking of which, no humans have come here for a long time." "What are they doing looking for rocks?" "How do they stay in the desert?"

"Fight with me."

After hearing this, Riolu looked at the mandible ant that seemed to be the leader, with a confused expression.

"If you win, I can take you there. If you lose, how about leaving the desert with those humans?"

Riolu understood and his expression turned serious instantly.

This big-jawed ant is not ordinary. Whether it is the information from the waveguide or the confidence revealed in the words, this big-jawed ant is probably not easy to deal with.

but--

He can only win this battle!

"Okay, I agree, I will do as you say."

Riolu thought for a while, looked around, and shook his head, "But here? It's better to go to the ground. This is your home after all."

"no problem."

Hearing what Riolu said, the mandible ant also had a good impression of this guy.

The wind and sand on the ground were very strong, and it was difficult to see the opponent's figure clearly. Riolu frowned, simply closed his eyes, and used waveguides to replace his own eyes.

This is the home turf of the mandible ant, but it is not without its advantages.

Riolu stood quietly. It did not take action immediately, but carefully observed the opponent's movements. The Big Jaw Ant was not polite and directly used the heavy stamp.

The giant-jawed ants stepped heavily on the ground, and the ground trembled violently. Riolu was a little unsteady, and the nearby sand was blown up by the force, mixed with wind and sand, and blew towards Riolu.

Fortunately, Riolu was well prepared. He quickly adjusted his posture and jumped up, leaping above the head of the ants. The wave missile that had been prepared vertically hit the ants on the ground vertically.

A direct hit!

The giant jaw ants moved slowly and had no time to dodge, so they had to take Riolu's attack forcefully.

But the damage is not great.

The Jaw Ant raised its head, stared directly at the agile Riolu, and immediately used Quicksand Hell.

As soon as Riolu stood firm, he discovered that the sand under his feet gradually formed a huge whirlpool. It had never seen this scene before. The strong attraction in the quicksand made it stagger, and then it was trapped in this quicksand hell. middle.

Damn it...how can this thing break free!

Riolu gritted his teeth, condensed the wave of missiles with his hands again, and then slapped the energy hard on the quicksand.

With a "boom", the reaction force caused Riolu to escape from the whirlpool of quicksand.

"You are indeed very strong!" The Giant Jaw Ant was surprised that Riolu had broken through his quicksand hell so quickly, and was immediately inspired by Riolu to have a stronger fighting spirit.

"Each other!"

"What was the sound just now?" Yamada stopped.

"It seems like a battle?"

Shen Qiu was not sure either. She looked up at the direction where the huge noise was coming from in the distance. After a while, her eyes suddenly widened and she said, "Oops, could it be Riolu!"

"It's possible! Let's go!"

The three of them looked at each other and immediately turned around and ran towards Riolu.

This mandible ant is so strong. /This Riolu is so strong.

This battle is only theirs, without the help of a trainer, and they fight only with their own consciousness.

It just so happened that it wanted to know who was more powerful, between itself and the elves commanded by the trainer. The Jaw Ant looked at Riolu's figure quietly and thought to himself.

Just let it experience the level of its abilities in this battle!

The giant-jawed ant mobilized its whole body's strength to condense huge rock blocks in the air. It roared, mixed the rock blocks with the gravel, and smashed them down together.

Riolu worked hard, constantly using waveguides to detect where he could put his feet, and using clever movements to avoid them flexibly.

When the giant jaw ant's rockfall ended, Riolu quietly hid his figure, and the bone rod condensed by the waveguide was ready to go.

The mandible ants couldn't find Riolu anywhere, and they didn't know where they would attack from, so they simply dug a hole and went underground.

Just right! Riolu's eyes widened slightly and he showed a malicious smile.

Late Qiu had long ago taught them what to do if they encountered each other digging holes or hiding their figures. Different elves had different methods of dealing with them. In short, the first thing was not to panic.

And its own method is this!

Riolu immediately transformed the bone rod, condensed the wave missile again, and hit the place where the mandible ant had just dug its hole!

No, the wave missile was used too many times just now, and the power of the wave missile this time is not enough...

This was the first time that the Big-jawed ants were blown out of the desert ground. The bursting sand spread violently in all directions, while the Big-jawed ants fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.

"Riolo!" Shenqiu saw Riolu's figure and immediately ran over anxiously.

When the mandible ant saw a human coming, it frowned and looked at the other person warily.

They haven't finished fighting yet, and it can't leave.

"Don't worry, they are all very kind," Riolu signaled to the mandible ants not to worry too much, "The girl in the middle is called Shen Qiu, and she is my trainer."

The mandible ant nodded silently and relaxed its vigilance a little.

"Riolu! Are you okay?" Late autumn found many small wounds on Riolu's body, and immediately took out the wound medicine from his backpack to bandage Riolu.

"Wait a minute, our battle is not over yet!" Riolu waved his hand quickly, "I made an agreement with the Giant Jaw Ant. If I win, it will take us to find those strange stones."

Shenqiu noticed that the mandible ant next to her was also staring at her, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, I won't interfere. But after the battle, you all have to come to me for treatment."

After saying that, Miaki explained to Yamada and Daigo, and respected the wishes of Riolu and Bigjaw Ant.

"Something strange."

"What's weird?"

"Your trainers are here, why don't they command you to fight?"

"But, this is the fight we two agreed upon, right?" Riolu found the Big Jaw Ant's words strange. "And it's not about commanding, but fighting side by side."

"She doesn't look like she's very good at fighting." Big Jaw Ant looked at Late Qiu again and shook his head.

"That's not what I mean... I mean, the relationship between trainers and elves is not that of commander and commanded.

Rather, it should be a companion who understands the other person's thoughts at all times! "

Suddenly, in everyone's astonished eyes, a dazzling white light lit up from Riolu.
