Chapter 1379 The Hawthorne Family
“A Master-level Arcanine…” Mi Ye looked at the majestic Arcanine in front of him and said in a deep voice, “It seems we are quite lucky. We have only just entered the cave and have already encountered our first Master-level Pokémon. However, we managed to capture it as quickly as possible, as there are still pursuers behind us.”
"Is anyone interested in this Arcanine?" Mi Ye said, turning to the group around her. "This time, we'll follow the rules of group exploration; all discoveries and gains will be divided equally..."
Mi Ye paused slightly at this point, then continued, "Although Xia Yu didn't enter the cave, he bought us valuable time and made a huge contribution, so he deserves credit. Also, he has the right to choose first, and I don't think anyone has any objections to that, right?"
"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So, is anyone interested in this Arcanine?" Mi Ye continued, "If you are, you can try to catch it first."
Hearing Mi Ye's words, everyone had different expressions, their faces showing thoughtfulness, and they remained silent.
This Arcanine is top-tier in both aptitude and strength, reaching the pinnacle of master level.
In the outside world, it would be something countless people would fight tooth and nail to subdue, but in this secret realm, it requires careful consideration.
They are now exploring as a five-person team, which means that if they choose to catch Arcanine at this time, they will lose the right to catch the four Master-level Pokémon they encounter next.
Even if you encounter a Pokémon that catches your eye, you cannot catch it.
Only if all five people present have caught a Master Pokémon will they be eligible to catch a Master Pokémon a second time.
Of course, this is a downside. The upside is that it ensures a stable harvest from this expedition. Even if you find fewer than five Master Pokémon, you don't have to worry about returning empty-handed. It also avoids competing with your teammates for high-potential Master Pokémon.
In short, choosing to capture the Arcanine in front of you means that this exploration will yield a stable reward, thus avoiding risks but also losing the opportunity to pursue huge profits.
However, this cannot be considered entirely. Sometimes, catching a Pokémon depends on its compatibility with the trainer.
For example, Mi Ye, being a Grass-type Pokémon, is not actually suitable for catching a Pokémon like Arcanine. Similarly, Lu Li, a Fighting-type trainer, is not suitable for this Master-level Arcanine.
…………
"Is nobody interested?" Mi Ye said when no one spoke up. "In that case, if everyone is not interested in this Arcanine, then we can only work together to capture it first, and then we can decide how to distribute it..."
"I'll do it." Seeing that no one spoke, Feng Kuangyin suddenly spoke up.
Feng Kuangyin's strength was relatively weak among the crowd, and he never expected to be able to achieve great success in this exploration of the secret realm and subdue a master-level divine beast.
He was already quite satisfied to be able to catch a Master-level Pokémon, but Arcanine's type was not what he wanted, which was why he hesitated.
Seeing that no one was stepping forward, he simply decided to capture this master-level Arcanine.
Moreover, although this master-level Arcanine's type doesn't match his, its strength is definitely not weak. Its lion-like size is something that ordinary Arcanines cannot possess.
"Okay, Captain Feng, we'll help you subdue this Arcanine as soon as possible!"
…………
Not only did the Chinese people reap the rewards, but the other champions who entered the cave also gained a great deal.
Some people found S-rank Everstones, some found S-rank Wet Rocks and various type gems, and some even found Z-rank Crystals or Mega Stones and Key Stones.
Of course, most people only discover rare resources and items, and a very small number of champions encounter master-level Pokémon.
For example, the American champions were the first people outside of China to enter the cave, but they took a different path and went down a completely different road from the Chinese champions.
"A master-level Iron Fist Pokémon?" Elijah and Levi looked at the Iron Fist Pokémon blocking their way, their lips curling up slightly, a faint smile on their faces: "Looks like we chose the wrong path... But this is also a good thing. If we follow behind China, we won't encounter any master-level Pokémon."
“Iron Fist Warrior… It’s a pity it’s a Fighting-type Pokémon.” Elijah said, then turned to look at Levi beside him: “It seems this Pokémon is yours to help you improve your strength. With this Master-level Iron Fist Warrior, you should have no problem holding onto your champion position next time.”
Elijah is a top-ranked champion from the United States and the strongest of the three United States champions on this trip. He is also one of the very few Psychic-type champions and Psychic users in the world, and his specialty is naturally Psychic-type Pokémon.
As for Champion Levi, he is a multi-type trainer with a very complex collection of Pokémon, and he accepts all kinds of Pokémon. Of course, most importantly, he and Champion Elijah are brothers.
They are also well-known brother champions in the United States, but compared to his brother Elijah, Levi is rather ordinary. He does not have the powerful superpowers of his brother Elijah, and his strength is relatively mediocre among the champions of the United States, ranking last.
In addition, they have a younger brother and sister who are both among the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the United States. Their family is the Hawthorne family, which is deeply rooted in American history and power.
“Yes.” Levi nodded in response, “Go, Crimson Armor Knights.”
"Let's work together and hurry! There are many treasures in this valley, and there are definitely more than one Master-level Pokémon. We have to seize this opportunity. Go, Starmie!"
"it is good!"
…………
The sounds of battle echoed continuously in the vast valleys and even underground, and the intricate tunnels were as complex as a maze.
After discovering that the entire mysterious valley was a huge treasure trove, the attitudes of the champions from various countries became ambiguous, and the tense atmosphere had long since disappeared.
Even if they happen to bump into each other, they simply exchange greetings and then head in different directions. This proves that as long as the benefits are plentiful enough, everyone can get along peacefully.
They avoided fighting as much as possible, racing against time like bandits, scavenging the entire mysterious valley like autumn leaves in the wind.
The gains from this trip to the secret realm were equivalent to what they would normally earn in a year or even several years, so almost everyone had a smile on their face.
As for whether they can take all the spoils with them, they haven't thought about that yet.
