Jon's face was expressionless, "I'll think about it."
"No problem." Dawu said very generously, "It's just a suggestion. I completely respect your idea."
After a while, he said again: "By the way, I have seen a lot of your works. Can you sign it for me later?"
Jon held his forehead helplessly.
He had a hunch that he wouldn't be able to get rid of this guy easily in a short time.
…
…
One day later, the moon appeared at the foot of the mountain.
"Okay, we're here."
Xiaogang, carrying a mountaineering bag, looked into the distance.
Um.
He said this, but his eyes still didn't open.
"Although it's not my first time here, no matter how many times I've been here, the scenery here is always so good." Dawu opened his arms and smiled at Xiaogang: "I'll leave it to you, owner Xiaogang—
—”
"No problem, leave it to me!" Xiaogang patted his chest.
Jon behind the two said: "No matter what, I'm addicted to digging. My hands are itchy and I'm very anxious."
It's a coincidence.
On the evening of the day Jon and Daigo met.
The two of them were getting together to discuss Pokémon of different colors when they met Xiaogang who was returning from work.
"The Strength of the Mountain"
He is indeed a man as reliable as a mountain.
Although he is young, he has shouldered the burden of supporting a large family.
I sit in the gym in the morning and go out to work in the afternoon.
In his spare time, he goes into the mountains to mine and sell valuable fossils and ores to museums for a fee...
Due to Jon's quality in the morning, the main Pokémon fell down one after another, and Xiaogang did not stay in the gym anymore.
Staring at Jon, he thought about it and came over to say hello.
Say a few words.
When Master Dawu said that he wanted to go to Yuejian Mountain, Xiaogang immediately said that I was familiar with that place and could be your guide!
Dawu was very happy and directly paid Xiaogang some money as a deposit.
Originally, Xiaogang didn't want money, but he couldn't resist Dawu and stuffed it into his arms.
no way.
Friendly guides become paid guides.
After hanging the "Challenge Suspended" sign outside the gym, the three of them happily sang folk songs all the way (from Xiaogang's perspective) to the foot of Yuejian Mountain.
"It's difficult to climb over here. Most travelers will pass through the cave."
Xiaogang pointed to the mountain over there, "According to legend, meteors often fall here. It is true that rare meteorites such as moon stones can be dug up."
"There is also star sand. When I came here alone before, I got some star sand by accident. That thing is so beautiful." Dawu looked forward to it.
After a pause, he patted the Pokémon ball on his waist: "Speaking of which, you all have Pokémon to mine, right?"
Xiaogang said there was no problem.
His Big Rock Snake (backup, main treatment at the Pokémon Center) is the most flexible...snake in the mountains.
In short, it is very useful in this kind of rocky site.
The two people cast their gaze over, and Jon spread his hands: "Nidorino can dig holes."
Oh, that’s okay——
Dawu and Xiaogang talked about something else.
"I really hope we can meet some Pippi this time."
"Those little guys are very cute, and I like them very much."
"Speaking of which, Daigo-kun, you are not the kind of person who rejects Pokémon battles, right?"
"What, Master Xiaogang, do you want to fight me?"
"No, no, no, my main Pokémon is being treated at the Pokémon Center because of Qiao Qiao, and I don't have any Pokémon on hand to fight with... I mean, there are many Pokémon in Yuejian Mountain who are keen on fighting.
Backpacker.”
At this time, Jon suddenly said: "The moment when the eyes meet, it is the signal for the battle to begin. Be careful, uncle. A tall and handsome guy like you must be the first choice of those uncles."
Daigo:???
But he didn't say anything, just smiled.
"When the time comes, I will show them the power of steel."
…
…
"So strong."
The mountaineer held his little fist stone and said helplessly: "Your Metagross is the strongest Pokémon I have ever encountered."
"I accepted this gentleman." Dawu said very gracefully, "It's just a fluke."
Outside the battlefield, Xiaogang opened his eyes slightly due to shock, and kept mumbling to himself: "If the Big Rock Snake encountered the situation just now... no, no, no, if I can force the Metagross before it completes its 'high-speed movement'
Close..."
Xiaogang is not considered a top gym owner.
But at least nothing has gone wrong in the dark gray gym these years, so you can naturally see how terrifying Daigo's strength is.
It's because he has been burdened by the burden of life for too long. Apart from paying a little attention to the situation in Johto, he pays little attention to other areas, so he doesn't know that Daigo is the current champion of the Hoenn League.
champion.
The strongest trainer in the region!
It's really not a random boy in shorts who catches bugs and can mess with things.
Jon was also very touched.
The two Pokémon in his hands were in no way comparable to Metagross in terms of physical strength.
But victory or defeat...
There are two things to say about this thing.
If it really doesn't work, you can still go there on your own.
When the time comes, it will definitely shock Dawu-san a little bit and let him understand what "the human body is, it's amazing, isn't it?"
Back to business.
As we go deeper into Mount Yuemi, there are more and more wild trainers.
Except for Xiaogang who really didn't have any Pokémon at hand that he could fight with, Jon and Daigo both fought a few games.
The two had a winning streak all the way.
It's quite overwhelming.
"It's really amazing, Qiao Qiao-kun. Although your Nidorino and Gyarados are a little green, your mastery of your own moves and the use of tactics are far beyond those of ordinary trainers."
In the Yuejian Mountain Cave, Daigo carefully examined Jon's two Pokémon: "With this strength, I should be able to easily collect eight badges and achieve good results in the regional competition."
Speaking of this, Xiaogang felt aggrieved.
Yesterday, he spent the whole night thinking about it, but he couldn't figure out how to solve the problem of "Substitute Poison". Seeing that Daigo was also an outstanding trainer, he decided to expose his shortcomings and tell the story of the gym battle.
Dawu's eyes became more and more interested: "Is there such a thing?"
After pondering for a moment, he spoke cautiously: "Although I'm not completely sure, I think that if I meet a trainer like Qiao Qiaojun... well, he'll be unique."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jon raised his eyebrows: "You just said you have no quality, there is no need to cover it up for me."
"A winning tactic is a good tactic. I have encountered a few times before that used poisonous skeleton frogs to slowly erode the opponent. It was a really tough fight... Having said that, this tactic is not invincible. When I met Qiao
For a trainer like Qiao Jun who is skilled in the use of guarding and substituting, it will be much easier to fight with a Pokémon that can 'provoke'."
A champion is worthy of being a champion.
Intuition is really sharp.
Jon spread his hands: "There is no invincible tactic, and there is no invincible Pokémon. For example, the 'poison guard' tactic is worthless in front of you, Daigo-san."
Xiaogang nodded: "Indeed -"
Metagross itself is immune to the poison attribute.
Jon couldn't fix it even if he wanted to.
"I think you won't only have this tactic, Qiao Qiaojun, let's have a fight if we have a chance." Dawu said with a smile.
Xiaogang refused to admit defeat: "I also want to fight Qiaoqiao again."
Male mothers also have pursuits and tempers.
He believed that his Big Rock Snake would not be defeated by the same person...twice!
"Besides, the main reason is that I have too few Pokémon right now, so I can't use many of my ideas." Jon casually excused himself.
He is the kind of trainer who values the essence rather than the quantity, and will not conquer any Pokémon specifically for any specific tactics.
His criteria for selecting Pokémon are also very simple, except for a little bit of emotion, and more importantly, fate.
Like the Bulbasaur saved from the Pokémon hunter last time, the little guy was unwilling to leave with Jon, and Jon didn't force him.
But if fate comes, he would really like a Pippi.
Nothing else.
Mainly cute.
By the way, Joe also has a good impression of silly-type Pokémon such as Ducky and Slowpoke.
The interior of Yuejian Mountain is not stable. In addition to small fist stones disguised as stones, supersonic bats will come out to attack at every turn.
In the end, Xiao Gang got annoyed and just grabbed one.
Yes.
If Xiaozhi is a super sincere person.
Xiaogang can also be counted as a super dark gray man.
Seeing an opportunity, he reached out to fish it out, and he caught a certain unlucky supersonic bat.
The elf ball hit the Super Bat's head.
——Pokémon is happy plus one.
"Dang-dang-dang, thump thump thump thump thump!"
Xiaogang didn't know why and looked at Qiaoen who was humming a strange BGM.
Jon said: "Don't worry, the ball will make this sound after rolling three times without cracking."
Daiwu: "It seems that Qiao Qiaojun has a kind of humor that others can't understand."
The conversation changed: "However, don't forget our purpose."
The sky and the earth are vast, not as big as fossils.
Father and mother, no ore relatives.
What.
You asked Chairman Dewen if he has any objection to his son's attitude?
Let's put it this way.
Dawu inherited this hobby from his father.
It’s just a matter of forgetting the child for the sake of the stone.
Xiaogang had conquered a new Pokémon, and when he was excited, he patted his chest and decisively led the two of them to a secret place.
"Very few people usually come here. If you dig carefully, you should be able to gain something."
The activity of digging for fossils.
Generally speaking, it is like opening a blind box without guarantee.
It’s tiring and the harvest is uncertain.
But Jon was still very interested.
He and Daigo commanded Nidorino and Metagross to dig downward respectively.
This is an exercise in itself.
Nidorino never refuses to become stronger.
His claws and scales were polished to be more detailed and harder.
"Laying a good foundation can better adapt to the evolved power. This is a trial... abandon the immature self of the past and move towards a new future." Jon gave his Pokémon timely poisonous chicken soup.
.
"Nidorino!" After hearing this, Nidorino dug even more vigorously.
Dust was flying and gravel was flying.
Xiaogang was watching from above, guarding against wild Pokémon that might appear at any time, while communicating with his newly conquered Supersonic Bat.
As a civilian trainer, he had never thought of breeding Pokémon like Baby Dragon because he simply couldn't afford it.
In comparison, small fist stones and ultrasonic bats are more friendly to the people.
The guard didn't show anything for a long time. Xiaogang was a little moved and released his backup Big Rock Snake.
This big rock snake is a full two to three meters shorter than his main force, and it has not learned any special combat moves, but it is still very useful for simply digging holes.
Xiaogang prayed in his heart: "Please give me a fossil. Whether I can eat meat this week depends on the harvest this time!"
God seemed to hear his voice.
Suddenly, a shining red light appeared.
But, it's not the place where the big rock snake is, but where the imposing Metagross is.
"It's garnet." Dawu smiled and said, "I'm pretty lucky."
Xiaogang was very envious.
At this time, Nidorino's continuous exploration also yielded results.
"Nido Nido!" Nidolino gave Jon what he dug up like a treasure.
Jon took a closer look.
Oops, the fat four-pointed star.
"Star fragments!" Daigo recognized Nidorino's harvest at a glance and couldn't help but said: "This is really a treasure land. I didn't expect to be able to dig up star fragments."
Does this thing work?
Useless.
It's simply beautiful.
However, there are many people in the world who collect star fragments, and they can sell them for money or exchange them for skill machines.
Xiaogang:⊙▽⊙
Damn it, big rock snake.
Dig it for me quickly!
No one knows how much pressure Xiaogang is under.
Every day when you open your eyes, you have to face many mouths that want to eat.
"Big-eyed, white-skinned handsome guy, I have no use for this thing, so I'll give it to you." Jon said, casually throwing the star fragments to Xiaogang.
Xiaogang subconsciously caught it, and after realizing it, he shook his head: "No, it's too expensive, I can't have it!"
"It's not free. It's considered as wages paid to you. Let your big rock snake help me dig out rocks, preferably special ones. I'll be of great use."
Jon has no shortage of skills, machines and money, so there is no use keeping the star fragments. He might as well give them to Xiaogang who needs them more.
Xiaogang was speechless.
My heart was moved beyond measure.
Although I don’t know where Qiaoqiao learned about his situation, this friendship...
He ‘The Strength of the Mountain’ memorized it!
"Come on, Big Rock Snake, let's go together."
As soon as he took off his coat, Xiaogang revealed his strong muscles. He planned to go out in person and use his strength to dig rocks for Jon.
Jon didn't care either.
Continue to command Nidorino to dig east, dig, and dig west.
He still couldn't believe it. He couldn't find a super stone that he liked in the huge Yuejian Mountain.
at the same time.
the other side.
"Hiss-"
"Para Pella!"
"Fist stone, fist stone, fist stone!"
"Pip! Pip!"
Many Pokémon were caught in the special net, struggling desperately but to no avail.
More than a dozen Rockets members looked proud and chatted with each other.
"I'm so lucky to meet a group of Pipis."
"Who says it's not? Let's not talk about Pokémon like Sonicbat and Fiststone. Pippi is a real rare thing. The boss will definitely reward us."
"Haha, those guys from the Science and Technology Research Department are sometimes useful. I really like the portable rope net gun this time."
"Can't you upgrade to a higher level this time?"
"Level one? Level two! You know, that's Pippi! It can be sold for a big price!"
"Sweet, good times are coming!"
The Rockets are looking forward to a bright future.
However, they did not notice that a round and fat figure was quietly hiding in the dark, watching everything anxiously.
"Geely, geely, geely (we have to find a way to rescue them)!"
