Page 78 Ironclad Rhino
The armored rhinos are not a kind of social Pokémon. Unless they are raising cubs, they are mostly single or married to two husbands. Perhaps because they don’t have enough brains, most armored rhinos rarely have any contact with their own kind. Once the mating season is reached, they will consciously widen the distance between them and their kind.
For this reason, Merlin's search target was mainly single bachelors, such as a couple or a group of iron-armored rhinos with brothers and sisters, all of them were ignored by him.
More iron-armored rhinos actually live on the warm grassland outside the desert. In the words of Machine Bobo, these iron-armored rhinos in the desert were "exiled" or simply "exiled" for various reasons.
"Like this big guy..." Mei Lin, who was peeping at a large armored rhino dozing between the cliffs, was looking at the big guy carefully while listening to the machine Bobo's low voice in his ears, "It was because it caused too much damage and losses that the park was driven here..."
Merlin's eyes wandered on the iron-armored rhino's head, covered with hideous and twisted scars.
"It originally lived in the 'free wilderness' in the 'wild plain'. Because of its huge physique and outstanding talent, it was once a popular target for capture. However, it was a very persistent and violent temper. According to records, the iron-armored rhino overturned a total of 36 modified heavyweight tour jeeps and several other models of small vehicles, causing a total of six deaths, more than 70 people were disabled and seriously injured. For a while, it seemed that it would deliberately chase cars and humans within its sight... The park once planned to transfer it to the 'hunting range' or 'euthanasia'... but it did not succeed, but sacrificed several staff members. In the end, it had no choice but to drive it all the way to drive it here..."
Meilin curled his lips.
A group of bold tourists are killed and injured in the wild wilderness area every year. Regardless of whether these tourists suffer because of their stupidity or because of their lack of caution, the ones who pay the price in the end are often wild Pokémon. These innocent creatures who "break down" the "sin" of human casualties are often transferred to the shooting range to exert their residual heat or execute the so-called painless death penalty on the spot to explain the so-called "family families of victims".
It is obvious that the big guy under his feet seemed to have suffered similar punishments for similar reasons. However, perhaps because it was difficult to be anesthetized for some special reason, it was finally sentenced to a punishment of "exile". It was a blessing in disguise.
"Next..." Merlin withdrew his gaze and continued to climb deep into the canyon.
He didn't plan to provoke a big guy with so many bad records. You know, the armored rhinos are famously unmemorable. Their orange-sized heads can only remember one thing at a time, and once they run, they can only remember "run". But it is this brain, such memory, that makes it firmly remember to overturn cars, trample on humans, and persevere. It can be imagined what is filled with its already pitiful mind.
Besides, from Merlin's perspective, the large iron-armored rhino may be not far from evolution. Once it evolves and its brain capacity increases again... hehe, it will be really fun to watch.
Continue to climb the rocks deep into the canyon along the cliffs. The loyal guides along the way often introduce the origin of the armored rhinos under their feet to Merlin. Most of them were exiled here. The reasons for the exile were similar, almost all of which caused casualties of a certain scale and were difficult to deal with.
"Oh, oh..." A certain machine Bobo warned Merlin, "Guest, guest, you must be careful. Although the main position in the canyon is the iron-armored rhino exiled here by the park, this place was actually the habitat of Rock Pokémon. Have you seen the caves on the rock wall ahead? There is a settlement of Rumble Rock and Rumble Rock! Don't get close to..."
Merlin's expression was as usual and continued to climb forward.
The machine waves lowered their voices and said anxiously: "You must pay attention. A little movement can wake up these 'stones'..."
Merlin turned a deaf ear to the noise of the machine waves and continued to move forward.
After finally passing through the rock walls that were covered with holes, the two machines, who had been worried, finally got relieved.
"Customer, you are not only very good at climbing skills, but you also have good luck." The machine Bobo said half a joke, "It's great not to disturb those stones along the way. You know, the security equipment we equipped with is difficult to play a role in those stones..."
Just as the machine waves were noisy, a huge roar suddenly came from the canyon. Then the rock walls on both sides of the canyon also swayed slightly with the roar, and gravels of large and small fell from the rock walls. The stones "grabbed" in Meilin's hand and the bulges "stepped" under his feet also collapsed and shattered.
The machine waves who saw this scene shouted loudly in panic.
Mei Lin simply left the rock wall directly, using his mind to repel the gravity and suspended it in the air.
The machine bobos who saw this scene paused for a moment, and then began to scream even more hysterically.
"Shut up." Merlin stretched out his right hand and made a closed gesture with his palm. Then the mouths of the two machine waves were forced to be closed by invisible force, and could only make a dull buzzing sound. The machine waves rotated their electronic eyes, making them look innocent.
"Don't scream." Merlin warned, and then opened their mouths.
"My God~~"
"Superpower~~"
As soon as the two machines opened their mouths, they were about to start making noise. This time, Merlin did not give them a chance to continue talking, so he took action and closed their mouths manually again.
"Don't make a sound." Merlin slightly increased his tone. At the same time, he also slightly increased the power of his mind, and also pinched the metal on their mouths. It was not until the machine wave nodded that Merlin let them go again.
"Follow." Merlin dived into the middle of the canyon, and the robot bobo hurriedly followed, "Be quiet." He reminded him again with concern, and the two robot birds immediately nodded and said yes.
The roar and vibration in the canyon continued. When Meilin flew into the canyon, he discovered who the culprit was the cause of the commotion. It turned out that an ordinary-body but a little strong iron-armored rhino was surrounded by three round and fierce rumbling rocks. The roars were the roars of the iron-armored rhino, and the tremors were because the iron-armored rhino was lifting its hooves and preparing to launch an impact.
"Interesting." After seeing the situation clearly, Merlin became more and more mentally watching the show. He hugged his arms and hanged in the air, looking at the confrontation under his feet, "Three rumble rocks are against an iron-armored rhino? You are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity and strength... What are you planning to play?"
Two machine waves hovered on both sides of Merlin's shoulders, their mouths tightly closed and just secretly exchanged sights.
The close battle between the armored rhino and the rumble rock started soon. The rumble rocks that surrounded the armored rhino in an inverted triangle shape were grinning and roaring while holding their rock-structured palms, and quickly approached the armored rhino with their legs. It seemed that they were not stupid either. They knew the sharpest weapon to seal the armored rhino, and knew that they could not give the armored rhino enough acceleration distance and time.
However, the armored rhino did not seem to have enough wisdom. It did not decisively launch a collision while there was still enough distance. Instead, it continued to stomp the ground as if it was still demonstrating there.
Perhaps in order to show himself in front of Merlin, who exposed the superpower, one of the machine waves showed off and analyzed: "Idiots are always idiots. Don't charge when there is enough room for charge to shock your opponent, and wait until you are surrounded by close..." It shook its head and said, and finally made a smacking sound.
"Wait and see." Merlin turned his head slightly and looked at the machine bobo flying on his left shoulder, and said casually, "Maybe there will be surprises..."
The stomping of the iron-armored rhino was very similar to a warning or demonstration at first. Although it could be called a good momentum, it trembled and caused the cliffs on both sides to fall gravel, but it had no deterrent effect on the three rumble rocks that were approaching. The three of them were still approaching with malicious intentions.
The iron-armored rhino's hooves were stomping on the ground more and more. It was no longer like he was simply stomping on the ground to warn him, but more like he was using some trick that was not very skillful.
"Traveling?" Mei Lin, who was floating in the distance, naturally discovered the abnormal behavior of the iron-armored rhino and began to analyze with interest, "It doesn't seem like he is already changing to another trick..."
Merlin's own analysis had just begun, and the iron-armored rhino's stomping on the ground became even more strange. He saw it lift its front body and lift its two front hooves high to dance in the air. After the two front hooves stepped heavily on the ground one after another, a circle of ripples of energy that seemed to be there and not existed outward from the place where its hooves landed. Then the entire valley began to shake and shaking, but the frequency of the tremor was strong and weak, as if it was not very stable.
"Earthquake?" Merlin made an assumption, but quickly overturned it. "No, it won't be an earthquake. The energy output of an earthquake is quite constant, and it won't be strong or weak like this..." Merlin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately thought of what trick was released by the armored rhino, "Magnitude! Only the magnitude is such a constantly changing energy output... Unexpectedly, it actually mastered this trick."
And what Merlin didn't expect is still there.
While the iron-armored rhino hit the ground and magnitude caused the earth to tremble, the strong guy immediately raised his hooves and ran wildly. However, due to the impact and damage of the earthquake caused by the magnitude trick, the three rumbling rocks were difficult to react at this moment. The magnitude trick of the ground system is an effective restraining attack for the rumbling rocks with both rocks and ground attributes, so the three of them suffered enough damage in this earthquake that was not too strong. In addition, the earthquake caused by the earthquake basically caused them to lose their ability to move. The three rumbling rocks are almost in a state of defenselessness.
The iron-armored rhino took advantage of this short opportunity to charge. While it was running wildly, it was still continuing to launch its not-so-skilled magnitude trick. Rounds of successful or unsuccessful earthquake waves were transmitted from under its feet into the depths of the earth, causing waves of earthquakes after wave. These earthquakes that could only be called weak or weak levels actually accumulated enough terrifying power in the process of continuous accumulation, and gradually became a true "earthquake".
When the iron-armored rhino finally stopped charging and stood in a messy valley, there were no three rumbling rock figures in front of it. Only the ugly and hideous cracks on the earth and the piles of falling rocks could barely tell future generations what had happened here.
"Smart, strong." After the earthquake caused by the armored rhino subsided and the smoke and dust all landed back on the surface, Meilin, who was suspended in the air, sighed, "I fell in love with you, big guy." He slowly landed to the appropriate height and said to the armored rhino with a tough attitude: "This is just a cage for you, and I am the one who can take you out of shackles."
He raised his right hand to the armored rhino and made an invitation gesture, "Follow me, I will make you stronger. Come with me, I will lead you to see the wonderfulness of the outside world. You should not be trapped here."
"Guest, don't say that..." The machine Bobo reminded Merlin in a low voice: "It's not good if you anger it..."
"Hmph~cry~~" The armored rhino raised his head and looked at Meilin with his small eyes, then shook his head and made a disdainful sniff. Then it actually twisted its body leisurely, took a slow step, and walked away from the valleys that had changed the terrain.
"It seems that you don't seem to believe me very much?" Meilin grinned, raised his suspended height again, and then suddenly stretched out his right hand, widening his palm towards the armored rhino that was gradually moving away, and then slowly made a lifting move.
Accompanied by Merlin's movements, the iron-armored rhino was immediately lifted up by invisible force and left the ground little by little. However, it seemed to be unaware of this and was still "walking" on its own legs.
"Well, guest, your behavior violates the basic regulations of the park..." A machine Bobo carefully gave a comment to Merlin. But before his opinion was finished, the mouths of both machine Bobos were entangled by Merlin's mind at the same time. The machine Bobos, who could only make waves of buzzing through the metal bird beak, immediately gave up the attempt to dissuade Merlin, and landed on his shoulder and looked at Merlin listlessly.
Although the iron-armored rhino was a little dull, it was not stupid. Soon, it discovered the unusual part of itself and realized that it was controlled by superpowers. It began to struggle hard and roar loudly. But these actions were useless. Merlin's mental power still lifted it up little by little, lifting it up to the sky little by little.
"Long guy, I usually don't force Pokémon. I generally don't like to force my will overtake you. So, I'll give you a chance..." Merlin clenched his fist with his right hand, stretched out his index finger and drew circles, while the armored rhino was held up by invisible thought power and circled in the air.
"In a moment, I will put you back on the ground, and then I will give you a chance to fight fairly with me." Merlin said with a smile: "You can try your best to break through my superpower network. If you do it, then I won't be entangled with you anymore. If you can't do it, then I want you to formally consider it and join my team."
As he spoke, Merlin pointed his finger at the ground. The iron-armored rhino fell quickly towards the ground. It was not until it was more than ten centimeters away from the ground that it suddenly stopped falling and was slowly placed on the ground.
As soon as it landed, the mental power that had been entangled in the armored rhino immediately dissipated. The armored rhino also began to lift its neck and stare at Meilin with its angry little eyes, and its feet began to dig to the ground hard. It seemed that Meilin had successfully angered it.
"For fairness," Meilin flew directly above the armored rhino and said condescendingly: "I will give you enough charge distance and space to perform. At the same time, I will create a venue for you to perform... It's too chaotic here, it seems to limit your power..."
Meilin curled the corners of his mouth, flipped his hands and rushed up his palms and raised his arms slightly. With his movements, the pile of gravels within a distance of hundreds of yards in the center of the iron armored rhino, all the dirt blocks were wrapped in purple superpowers and floated up. Then, he suddenly turned his palms again, letting his palms rush down, and his arms made a downward movement. At the same time, all the suspended stones and soil blocks wrapped in thought power turned into delicate particles in an instant, and then they gathered and turned into two torrents of soil that rotated far away around the armored rhino.
"First, eliminate obstacles," Merlin said: "Then, eliminate trauma..."
As he said, two torrents of soil rush into countless small torrents and rushed into the cracks on the earth, filling them all in a blink of an eye.
“Repair the scar.”
The purple superpower turned into a round blanket, covering the above ground with tight slits, and then gently enveloped the round land and slowly pressed down. As the mind force squeezed the earth, there was a sound, and the circular land with an iron armored rhino as the center sank several centimeters. At this time, the round land had been flat to a mirror-like smoothness, and the land had no soil texture and was squeezed into hard stones.
"It seems that it's not strong enough." Merlin said unsatisfiedly.
Then the earth made a sound again, and the earth sank again. This time, the circular area had become shiny and sharp.
"This time, it's almost the same." Meilin was finally satisfied. He raised his left hand and made a sprinkling action. Then the purple energy that had originally enveloped the land immediately turned into countless lines and rose up. These purple lines intertwined and entangled in the air until they turned into a huge semicircular mesh cover, covering the round earth and also covering the iron-armored rhino.
"I'm ready, where are you." Merlin, who was also covered in the net, smiled warmly at the armored rhino and asked, "We can start anytime..."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the legs of the armored rhino seemed to be twitching. It raised its neck and made a scream at Merlin with obvious lack of confidence.
"Oh? You're willing to think about it, this is really good news..." Hearing the words of the armored rhino after Vyzel's translation, Merlin smiled and replied: "Then we can have a good talk..."
