Chapter 86: Chapter 86: A City Where the Ground is King
A gambler who carries a dagger with him, his fate is doomed the moment he swings the dagger.
It's just that the process is a little hardcore.
After handling the aftermath, Rax took the injured Murkrow back to the Poké Ball and locked it up, leaving it for points to be exchanged later.
However, Rax couldn't help grinning when he looked at the piercing eyes of Marowak.
His own strength seems to be a little abnormal.
Thinking of this, Rax looked at the big tree next to him and suddenly felt itchy.
Bang!
The big tree shook, and the fist marks on the trunk were clearly visible.
Rax looked at his hands without any broken skin, and realized how terrible the improvement Darkrai brought to him was.
Then, Cresselia's mental power improvement should not be bad!
Well, I'll practice it well in my dreams when I go to bed at night.
Keep moving forward!
After this incident, Scorbunny's vigilance to the surroundings increased a lot.
A pair of big ears kept shaking, hoping to try to perceive more movements through hearing.
Rax watched silently and nodded secretly in his heart.
All that these Marowaks had experienced before, now it was the turn of Scorbunny to experience again.
As their trainer, Rax would not feel bored, and even looked forward to "starting from the beginning" every time.
With this mood, Rax took Scorbunny to walk and stop, to experience and travel at the same time.
A week later, one person and one Pokémon barely arrived at the foot of Mt. Coronet.
As the largest mountain in the Sinnoh region, Mt. Coronet can divide the entire region into two. It is naturally not just an isolated mountain, but a continuous mountain range.
The rich natural resources in the mountains also indirectly "supported" many towns, which were located on the plains at the foot of the mountain.
Sunyshore City, east of .Pastoria City, backed by the Mt coronet, is a medium-sized city built on the mountain. It is also the location of Sunyshore Gym, one of the eight major gyms in the Sinnoh region.
When Rax took Scorbunny to Sunyshore City, one word came to his face.
Earth.
It's not that the people here are dressed so poorly, but that all the residents here, who have Pokémon around them, are ground-type Pokémon.
Geodude, Diglett, Hippopotas... These Pokémon can be seen almost everywhere.
On both sides of the city entrance, there are giant sculptures of Hippopotas and Hippowdon.
The appearance of Scorbunny even attracted everyone on the street with a look of confusion.
This Pokémon is not a ground-type Pokémon, right?
Rax's perception at this time is much sharper than before. In the eyes of passers-by, he felt more rejection than curiosity.
Rax frowned and said rationally: "Come back first, Scorbunny."
Although Scorbunny still wanted to take a good look at Sunyshore City, it was quite uncomfortable with the pairs of scrutinizing eyes around it.
It would be better to enter the Poké Ball first.
Scorbunny disappeared, and the scrutinizing eyes disappeared immediately. Rax did not stay for long and went straight to the Devon Hotel in the city.
After checking in, Rax took a city brochure from the front desk and soon learned about the strange current situation of this city.
Because of Monk, the gym leader of Sunyshore, the whole city is full of ground-type Pokémon lovers.
When new trainers from Sunyshore City receive their initial Pokémon, they would rather have a Hippopotas or a Sandshrew than the standard starter Pokémon, Turtwig and Chimchar in the Sinnoh region.
Even because Mudkip can only have ground-type Pokémon after second stages of evolution, it is disliked by new trainers here and is unwilling to use it as their initial Pokémon.
Although Sunyshore City does not have a clear rule that Pokémon of other types cannot be released on the road, as long as it is not a ground-type Pokémon, it will be stared at by all passers-by with scrutiny, just like Rax just did.
After reading this, Rax felt that it was out of the ordinary!
What kind of magic potion did this gym leader Monk give to the people of the whole city?
Fortunately, he has Marowak, so there is a way out.
But this time when challenging the gym, can he only use ground-type Pokémon?
With doubts in his heart, Rax did not hesitate and did his old job of collecting intelligence.
Half an hour later, Rax leaned back on the computer chair and let out a long breath.
This gym is very strange.
This city also has big problems!
But no matter what, Rax, who just arrived here, chose to keep a low profile.
Resting first is the most important thing.
At night, the four spirited Pokémon filled the room.
Rax sat by the bed and looked at the four Pokémon.
"Are you all full?"
The four Pokémon lowered their voices and answered in unison. There were a lot of food piled up next to them that they could reach.
And there were a lot of energy bars, chocolates, and other things beside Rax's bed.
Then, Rax lay down and said, "Let's start, Skiploom!"
"Fa Fa~"
A small amount of sleeping powder floated out, and the Pokémon found their most comfortable posture and lay down, actively inhaling the sleeping powder with their noses.
Even Skiploom itself deliberately smelled a lot, for fear that it would sleep late.
Soon, the room was filled with the sound of breathing that came one after another and was very even.
At the same time, Rax entered his dream world and called over the Pokémon who were also sleeping.
"Today's training has been arranged, let's get moving!"
Rax clapped his hands and ordered, and at the same time, he also carried a barbell weighing hundreds of pounds and did weightlifting training in an inhuman way.
After the Pokémon looked at Rax with admiration, their training enthusiasm became high.
There was no way. Even Marowak, who had followed Rax the longest, was no match for Rax in terms of strength.
Don't let the trainer play forward and the Pokémon assist in the back when they go out in the future.
Marowak and the others felt ashamed when they thought about that scene.
In this case, they could only train madly.
Anyway, they would not feel tired in the dream world. As long as they woke up and ate a lot, they could get the improvement of a whole night's training.
Who would not envy this efficiency?
Of course, no one envied it, after all, they didn't know.
After doing 2,000 barbell weightlifting easily, Rax stopped at the right time.
Otherwise, there would be too much to eat when he woke up tomorrow.
Looking at the Pokémon who were training enthusiastically, Rax paid a little attention and didn't care much, and turned to train his mental power again.
If he wanted to release his mental power and then form a telekinetic attack, without the guidance of a psychic, Rax could only slowly explore.
As for asking a psychic, Rax couldn't find a suitable person for a while.
And if he could use psychic powers on his own, it could also be a trump card to turn things around at a critical moment.
So, go slow if you want, Rax now has a dream world and has no shortage of time.
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning came in from the window, a familiar pulling feeling came.
Rax waved his hand to drive away all the Pokémon, and he quickly left the dream world.
The moment he regained consciousness, a strong sense of hunger rose from his stomach. Rax didn't even open his eyes, and he skillfully picked up the energy bar beside the bed and started to chew it.
Soon, the chewing sound replaced the snoring, and one person and four Pokémon silently ate high-energy food.
This meal took half an hour.
