Chapter 201: The Traces of Steel Snake

Xia Yu and Zhao Ruohan walked in the forest, chatting about interesting things they experienced when they were studying.

Zhao Ruohan is beautiful, has good grades, and has a gentle personality. She has always been the white moonlight in the hearts of many boys, and many people have written love letters to her.

To be honest, Xia Yu had a little crush on Zhao Ruohan before. It's normal for men to like pretty girls, but Xia Yu was also very restrained.

Now that more than half a year has passed, Xia Yu no longer has any thoughts about Zhao Ruohan in this regard.

Somehow, Xia Yu suddenly thought of Teacher Long who was far away in the imperial capital. He wondered how Teacher Long was doing recently. There was no cell phone signal in the deep mountains and forests, so he couldn't contact Teacher Long.

"Xia Yu, Xia Yu." Zhao Ruohan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xia Yu, interrupting Xia Yu's train of thought: "What are you thinking about? You are thinking so deeply."

"Oh, I was just thinking about something and accidentally got distracted." Xia Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Where were we just talking about?"

"You asked me why I suddenly wanted to be a trainer. Don't blame me. I remember you didn't want to be a trainer before, right?" Zhao Ruohan looked at Xia Yu and asked.

She remembered that Xia Yu had not captured any Pokémon before. When others asked him why, he always said that he just wanted to be a Pokémon doctor. As a result, after the summer vacation, Xia Yu embarked on the path of a trainer.

Xia Yu was speechless. Didn't I want to be a trainer before? It was because his passive skill "Master Style" had never been able to capture a Pokémon with the King-level qualifications.

"Actually, I don't want to be a trainer now. I'd rather be an ordinary Pokémon doctor. Buy a big villa by the sea, marry a beautiful wife, have some big fat boys, do research every day, play with Pokémon, what a comfortable life. It's unlike a trainer who has to go out fighting every day. It's too dangerous." Xia Yu was telling the truth. He really wanted to live such a life. A plain and simple life was the real life, but reality didn't allow it.

Xia Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's a pity that people in the arena can't decide for themselves."

Listening to Xia Yu's words, Zhao Ruohan couldn't help laughing, and looked at Xia Yu with a pair of bright eyes: "You are still helpless? Now you are Dr. Xia, and your future is bright. You also have a big house, and there are so many girls who want to marry you. Your dream is actually very easy to achieve."

"You don't understand." Xia Yu sighed: "Do you know where I got the Aledo in my hand? The Pokémon Association rented it to me to protect me. Now there are many people who want me dead, or to capture me alive to help them do experiments."

"No way." Zhao Ruohan frowned slightly. After all, she was just a high school girl and didn't know much about this world. Naturally, she couldn't understand the danger that Xia Yu said: "Is it really as dangerous as you said?"

"Of course, I'm not lying to you. It's the same for all scientific researchers. Once you reach the top level in a certain field, you have to consider your own safety." Xia Yu had seen too many reports of scientists dying in strange ways in his previous life. He could find many related news by searching for keywords such as scientist murder online. "So I had to become stronger, otherwise I would live in fear all day, worried about being assassinated."

It's not that Xia Yu maliciously speculates about the dangers of this world, but when it comes to life safety, he must consider the worst-case scenario.

"Okay, then do you usually encounter any danger?" Zhao Ruohan looked at Xia Yu and asked with concern.

"Yes, didn't we encounter danger during the patrol that night?"

…………

The two walked in the forest and unknowingly came to a stream. The gurgling water flowed through the mountains. As the sun rose, the temperature rose to more than 20 degrees.

"boom."

Suddenly, a sound was heard from the front. Although the sound was not loud, it was very obvious and startled the bobos perched on the tree, causing them to fly away one after another.

"What's that sound?" Xia Yu and Zhao Ruohan looked at each other, their expressions suddenly becoming a little nervous. Could they be so unlucky? They had just encountered poachers two days ago, and they wouldn't encounter them again today.

Xia Yu said, "Let's go and take a look."

"Yeah." Zhao Ruohan nodded, followed Xia Yu closely, and walked up.

"Come out, Humbat." Xia Yu walked towards the place where the sound came from, and at the same time released the scout Humbat, telling Humbat to check the situation: "Humbat, go and see first, so you don't get caught. "

The buzzing bat made a cheerful sound, flapped its wings, and flew in the direction where the sound came from.

The two followed the buzzing bat and ran towards the place where the sound came from. As they got closer to their destination, they became more cautious and gradually slowed down their pace.

At this moment, the buzzing bat had already obtained information from afar. As its strength continued to increase, its telepathic ability became more and more proficient, and it communicated with Xia Yu through telepathy.

"You mean you found a giant steel snake?"

Buzz Bat nodded.

"Let's go and take a look."

The two couldn't help but quicken their pace, and finally after more than ten minutes, Xia Yu and Zhao Ruohan arrived at their destination, only to see a huge hole on the ground, which was obviously the hole left by the giant steel snake.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Looking at the hole left by the Steelix, Xia Yu turned and asked Zhao Ruohan.

"Are you going?" Zhao Ruohan asked instead of answering.

"Of course I have to go in and take a look."

"Well, I'll go with you."

The two of them walked towards the hole dug by the giant Steelix. When they got closer to the hole, Xia Yu realized that the area of ​​the hole was very large, enough for two people to move forward side by side. This also showed that the giant Steelix must be quite large.

Walking down along the cave entrance, the deeper Xia Yu went, the more empty the interior of the cave became. After they walked for nearly ten minutes, the cave entrance disappeared, and it was pitch black below, with no bottom in sight.

"Buzz Bat, go down and take a look."

The buzzing bat continued to act as a scout, flapping its wings and flying down, and soon sent back information.

There was an open area below the cave entrance, as wide as a square, but it was about several dozen meters below the cave entrance. At such a height, Xia Yu naturally had no choice but to release Charizard and carry himself and Zhao Ruohan to the bottom of the cave.

For safety reasons, Zhao Ruohan lay on the Charizard, while Xia Yu protected Zhao Ruohan from behind. Fortunately, Xia Yu's Charizard was big enough, otherwise it might not be able to accommodate two people.

They rode the Charizard to the bottom of the cave. It was pitch black without any light. At this moment, a sound was heard in the darkness, as if something was approaching them.

"Charizard, spit fire!"

Xia Yu didn't care about anything else and directly let Charizard spray fire. On the one hand, it could threaten the enemies in the dark, and on the other hand, he could use the light of the fire to identify what the object was.

The flames flickered, and Xia Yu finally saw clearly that it was several Alola Sandshrews led by an Alola Sandslash that attacked them!

However, Alola Sandslash's dual attributes of ice and steel are four times weak to fire, so it fell to the ground after being hit by just one jet of flame.

With the help of the firelight, Xia Yu discovered that there seemed to be a lot of Pokémon hiding around. Looking one by one, he found that most of them were steel-type Pokémon!
