Chapter 3072: Exploration, Ten Carat Hill!

Ten Carat Hill, also known as Diamond Head Mountain, is located in the southern area of ​​Melemele Island, almost halfway between the town where the Pokémon School is located and Hau'ola City.

Surrounded by the sea on three sides, there is only a small mountain road bordering the land that can be climbed.

The huge cone-shaped outline seen from the outside is said to be a unique terrain formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.

"It is said that wild small diamonds inhabit the ten-carat hills~It is related to diamonds, Lotto~!"

Rotom hovered on Ash's shoulder and introduced.

"Little diamond...?"

Ash is familiar with this kind of Pokémon. It is a Pokémon unique to Kalos, and its entire body is made of diamond ore. Unexpectedly, it also lives in the Alola region.

Generally, the way for locals to land on the Ten Carat Hills is from the sea. They ride a giant tooth shark and smash all the surrounding sea rocks to a position bordering the sea water. There is an entrance that leads directly to the hinterland of the hill.

But today, he was just on the spur of the moment, and he didn't have any Pokémon that could ride on water, so Xiaozhi simply entered the mountain through the most direct land entrance.

Located approximately south of the Pokémon School, through the small jungle on this side, Ten Carat Hill has appeared in front.

It's just that the only road in front of us is blocked by several huge rocks more than two meters high, making it impassable.

"Ouch~owoo!!"

Rock Dog took the lead and immediately jumped in front of the rock, preparing to use his "strange power" to push the rock away.

Unlike Big Bird, which is quite resistant to the use of secret moves and can be used as a "tool dog", Rock Dog is particularly excited.

Then it rested its two forelimbs on the rock at the same time and began to show its teeth and exert force.

"Ouch!"

After only exerting force for a long time, the hind limbs retreated a certain distance on the ground, and the huge rock in front of him still did not move at all.

"It doesn't work. How about I do it instead?"

Ash suggested.

However, it was the first time that I was traveling with Xiaozhi. Today, the rock dog had a great desire to express himself and immediately barked to signal him to come.

The next moment, Yanyan Dog's raised forelimbs were wrapped in white light, and he punched it hard.

"Rock breaking trick?!"

Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, would you do this again?

Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Iwa Dog Battle yet.

Click.!

However, this powerful rock-breaking punch only broke a crack of less than 10 centimeters at the point where the dog's claws came into contact. The entire huge rock still showed no sign of collapse.

"Aowu."

This also made the rock dog droop its tail all of a sudden, and walked to the side lonelyly and began to moan softly.

"Can't you hide your emotions at all?"

Xiaozhi also laughed dryly, the rock dog's emotions were directly displayed on his face.

"Leave this rock to me~!"

So he bent down and rubbed the rock dog's head, and then walked to the rock that was much higher than his own.

I don’t know who stacked the huge rocks on this only way, so move them away first!

Xiaozhi put his hands on the rock, gritted his teeth, and began to push forward.

Originally, Rock Dog didn't know what Xiaozhi was going to do. How could a human push such a boulder?

Click.!

Until the boulder in front of him actually moved slightly, making Yan Gou's eyes widen in an instant.

Then Xiaozhi increased his strength, and the giant rock seemed to suddenly turn into a plastic hollow statue. It was easily pushed back more than two meters away, and the two sides finally staggered the path forward.

"Done~!"

Xiaozhi took a long breath, his "strange power technique" is still a treasure, not inferior to Big Bird!

Rock Dog: “???”

Its dog brain can no longer function.

The rock dog even ran to the huge rock and tried to push it, but it still didn't move at all.

"Ouch!! Ouch!!"

This made it bark angrily at the boulder.

It suspected that the stone was alive and was clearly targeting it deliberately.

Regarding the innocent and cute behavior of the rock dog, Xiaozhi just smiled casually, walked around the huge rock blocking the road, and looked ahead.

No wonder most people who enter Ten Carat Hill take a detour and enter from the sea entrance.

This land entrance, even though the frontmost rock has been pushed away, the cave entrance is located on a five or six meter high slope.

There are no steps or plants, just rugged rocks that need to be climbed up to officially enter the cave.

It is difficult for ordinary people, but it is not difficult for Xiaozhi. He also knows the "rock climbing" trick.

"Let's go!"

With a greeting, Rock Dog once again took the lead, trotting all the way up the steep rocky slope.

As a rock-type Pokémon, the terrain here is perfect for it.

Xiaozhi also climbed very easily. He spotted a few stable stepping points and climbed up the five-meter-high hillside in a few steps. The entrance to the cave came into view.

"Let's go, the goal is to conquer the Alola Little Fist Stone!"

"Beep! Leave it to me, I will detect Lotto~!"

"Ouch~!"

Rotom and Rock Dog walked up and down to lead the way, and Xiaozhi was also looking around at the scene inside the cave.

It's not a dark and narrow cave, it can be said to be a paradise!

Ten Carat Hill looks like a bare cone-shaped volcano from the outside, but inside it is a flat and open lawn square, protected by surrounding rock walls.

As soon as Xiaozhi came in, some local wild Pokémon such as Stoneball and Bigmouth scattered and hid in the surrounding bushes.

He even saw two jumping small diamonds.

"There really are such Pokémon!"

I wonder if there is a diamond mining country under Alola?

After a rough tour inside the Ten Carat Hill, Xiaozhi did not see any Pokémon he wanted to capture.

Most of them were cave Pokémon such as Zubat and Stoneball, so he did not have any intention of expanding the team.

This is why few people come to Ten Carat Hill on weekdays.

First, there are no diamonds, and second, there are no rare Pokémon. It is better to explore the vast jungle on Route 1.

Of course, the scenery here is still very good.

However, the focus today is to capture Geodude. Xiaozhi called on Rock Dog and Rotom to spread out and search.

"Then I will also use the power of wave!"

Xiaozhi closed his eyes and spread out his power of wave, looking for its wave similar to Geodude.

It is said that the Geodude of Alola is also of electrical attribute, and is a "magnet" like Chaobei. Xiaozhi is looking for electrical feedback in the feedback waveguide.

In fact, Geodude of Alola generally lives on Ula'ula Island, where there is a geothermal power plant and a desert area, which is more suitable for Geodude of electrical attribute to live.

Of course, there are also some scattered distributions on other islands.
