Chapter 897?
"It seems that the situation is not optimistic..."
Following Gyarados's instructions, we arrived at the entrance of the Cerulean Cave.
Lin Jing and Sakura's faces also looked very ugly.
This place looks ordinary, and except for a hole here, it seems to be no different from the surrounding scenery.
If... there were no broken rocks around and the gravel that still floats on the water...
"The Thorn Dragon King..."
Although they had searched everywhere, unfortunately, Sakura and Gyarados could not find any trace of the Thorn Dragon.
"Come in first. According to what you said, you are on land, right?
In that case, I'll leave it to you, Windy Dog."
Ride Gyarados until you land steadily on the land near the cave.
Lin Jing threw out another Poké Ball.
"Is there anything that tastes like the Thorn Dragon King?"
The wind speed dog's hair suppressed its subconscious instinct to howl, and Lin Jing looked at Sakura again.
"Yes! Yes!"
After rummaging through her clothes for a long time, an old-looking black and yellow Poké Ball appeared in Sakura's hand.
"This is the Poké Ball of the Thorn Dragon King. It should be OK!"
"Wind Speed Dog."
Without giving a direct answer, Lin Jing just looked aside.
"Ouch. (No problem. I've got it down.)"
The dark nose moved slightly, and the wind speed dog nodded confidently towards Lin Jing.
“Awooo~ (But I really don’t like this place~)”
Looking around, Windspeed Dog was still muttering in dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright, just be patient for a while.
If I’m not mistaken, this might be your chance to make an appearance.”
Lin Jing patted the side of Windy Dog and said unhappily.
Didn’t this guy see how anxious the person next to him was?
Still talking about this and that.
"Ouch! (Really? You said it, don't lie to me!)"
Upon hearing this, Windspeed immediately perked up.
But the next moment, Lin Jing jumped up and hit it hard on the head.
"It's true, so hurry up!"
"Awoo~ (I promise to complete the task~)"
I didn't care much about the guy who was so light that he had to shake his fists to relieve the pain.
Windspeed's triangular eyes also looked full of concentration at this moment.
The tip of his nose moved slightly, and nearly ten thousand different smells in the air had entered Windspeed Dog's mind.
The dampness is the smell of water, the special smell of stalactites, and the rocks that have been soaked in water for many years. I have long been accustomed to the smell of a little sweetness? The smell of the female human in front of me, the smell of perfume, and the smell of various Pokémon, sweet, salty, yes! It is this smell that has a bit of the fishy smell of the sea but is a bit ancient and mixed with other attributes.
"Oooooh! (Found it!)"
After opening his eyes again, Arcanine grabbed Lin Jing's collar and swung it skillfully, and Arcanine's transformation into riding form was completed.
"Walk slower, Miss Sakura found the Wind Speed Dog.
Please follow me, this guy doesn't like anyone other than me sitting on it, so excuse me."
After patting Windspeed's back to remind it, Lin Jing quickly called out to Sakura.
Sakura, who was worried about the Thorn Dragon, didn't care about the little problem of Arcanine and chased after it with a happy look on her face.
……
In the dark and deep cave, crystal clear water splashed down from the rocks above the head.
The azure water kept dripping, making a clear and pleasant sound when hitting the ground.
Although... Windy Dog doesn't seem to appreciate the scenery at all...
(╬◣д◢) "Ouch! (I hate this place!)"
"Alright, alright, just bear with it for a while."
Lin Jing also comforted him again.
He also knew that this kind of place was one of the environments that Windspeed Hound hated the most.
"Ouch. (Can't you just let them hold up a shield for me like before?)"
Windspeed took a sidelong glance at the guy who was sitting comfortably behind him and looked indignant.
"Huayedi and the others need to retain their strength and be ready to handle any battle that may break out.
So just make do with it.”
After feeding Hua Yeti another energy cube, Lin Jing also looked into the distance.
Unfortunately, outside of the light provided by the wind speed dog, it was pitch black.
"Awoo... (If I don't feel satisfied in the fight then, I won't forgive you...)"
Although he was very annoyed by the constant dripping of water, he also knew that what Lin Jing said made sense, so Windy Dog just muttered to himself.
While Lin Jing was talking to Windy Dog, Sakura, who was standing next to him, looked very curious.
It is said that if you spend enough time together, you will be able to slowly understand the meaning of Pokémon. It seems that Mr. Lin Jing has also reached such a level of tacit understanding.
Clearly, all she heard were a series of howling sounds of varying pitches, but Mr. Lin Jing seemed to understand it all, and Arcanine didn't seem to correct her.
As expected, he is a challenger who has defeated a gym trainer who truly gave his all.
No, to be more precise, she is already a trainer at the same level as her mother.
"Ow~"
"Hmm? Is it finally time?
Ms. Sakura, please get ready and hide behind me.
Windy Dog said that he was very close to the smell of the Thorn Dragon King. "
“Yes, don’t worry, Gyarados was also left by our mother to protect us four sisters.
Please feel free to help.
Of course, if it's the Dragon King..."
"I'll do my best to bring it back safely."
Nodding slightly, Lin Jing patted the back of the Wind Speed Dog.
Arcanine also understood what he meant, and its originally careless movements suddenly became light and graceful.
Even the flame that served as the light source was extinguished.
He only relied on his keen sense of smell and hearing as well as Lin Jing who was releasing waves behind him to perceive the outside world.
...
After walking a few steps forward, the corner of the originally dark cave was brightly lit.
Especially the occasional footsteps and the sound of clattering sounds were more conspicuous in this dark cave.
I gently tapped on the fur of the Wind Speed Dog, and the Wind Speed Dog understood what I meant.
It is obviously a large dog, but at this moment it is crawling on the ground, like a big orange cat half lying on the ground.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Something is wrong!
Feeling the strange feedback coming from the waveguide, Lin Jing tightened her grip on the wind speed dog Maomao.
The next moment, Lin Jing felt a lightness beneath his body, and the Windy Dog had left the spot.
At the same time, a gust of wind blew past where they were originally.
Swipe~
No longer hiding, Windspeed instantly lit up the fire.
There was a large net left where they were before.
In front of them were two backlit shadows.
"You guys...are you the ones who captured the Thorn Dragon King?!"
Looking at the two blurry figures, Lin Jing spoke subconsciously.
"Since you asked the question sincerely!"
???
