Chapter 112 The Treasure Master of the Rock Wall - Hairy Crab

Riding motorcycles... Milerton, Qingyu, and the other two quickly set off from Little Key Town, preparing to head to the South Third District where the Rock Wall Treasure Master was located.

The map of Parthia does not have clear regional divisions. Centered on the Great Hollow of Zone Zero, it is divided into dozens of regions along the four cardinal directions.

The South Third District is located not far to the east of Tabletop City, so it is not that far from Little Key Town.

Even a Padian superhuman like Pipa only took two days to walk back and forth to gather information.

At Milton's speed, a round trip within a day should be more than enough.

Sitting on Milton's broad back, Qingyu gripped the horn-like protrusion extending from its chest to its rear, and began to try to drive this future species of motorcycle lizard.

(Millerton's handlebars)

As expected, he received a glare from Millerton as he turned his head.

Do you think of me as too high-tech?
"Brother Qingyu, although Milton looks very high-tech, it's still a Pokémon..."

Pipa, sitting behind him, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The researcher who did this last time was thrown out by Millerton and had to recuperate for quite some time.

But when Qingyu did the same thing, Milton only gave her a warning.

It seems like they get along quite well, right?
Piper felt he had made the right decision.

"..."

Qingyu reluctantly withdrew her hand.

Damn it, I thought I could drive a motorcycle at 300 km/h in the Pokémon world, but it turns out to be self-driving!
"No, it's too fast, I feel like I'm going to fly out of the air..."

Nemo, who is usually full of energy and looks like a sporty girl, finally revealed her true colors as a hapless person on her first outing.

Even just riding on Milton's back, she seemed to be having a hard time, and her eyes were already rounded.

"Nemo, you're such a weakling..."

Pipa couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

"If you can't even ride a motorcycle lizard, then you'll have to climb that super, super long staircase every day when you enroll at Orange Academy, and that'll be even worse for you..."

"I want you to take care of it!"

The three of them, in one car, were arguing and making a ruckus all the way when they happened to pass through Tabletop City.

Although we didn't actually enter the city, just looking through the main gate, we could see a tall building perched high in the center.

Orange Academy.

As Piper said, the only way to the college was a staircase with at least two or three hundred steps.

Qingyu suddenly remembered the event that would be triggered when she first came to Tabletop City in the game.

It seems that Nemo also went through several attempts before finally getting into Orange Academy...

It seems like she, the trainer, is the one who should be doing strength and endurance training more than Brutus!
After circling around Table City for a short while, we arrived at the South 3rd District.

This region is characterized by numerous earthen slopes, creating a natural maze-like environment with varying elevations in many areas.

When the Path of Champions is open, we'll put some gadgets like the zipline and the move learning machine in there to encourage students to explore.

But they clearly don't have the leisure to go out and have some fun today.

"Phew—, I almost thought my soul was leaving my body..."

After getting off Millerton's back, Nemo was still shaken and took several deep breaths to recover a little.

"Speaking of which, I tamed the little earth dragon around here!"

Although her energy cap is very low, Nemo's recovery speed is exceptionally fast, and she soon returns to her normal state.

Qingyu nodded slowly. That's why Padia is said to be a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. The variety of Pokémon in the region is ridiculously large, and even Pokémon that mature late in life have their own habitats.

In South District 3, there are even quite rare wild Growlithe dogs.

I even caught one while playing the game, and it remained in my main team until I beat the game.

Qingyu looked into the distance and saw a group of Growlithe chasing and playing around a stone wall, looking very happy.

"The habitat of that giant hairy crab should be in this area."

Pipa pointed to a small hill in the distance. From where they were, they could indeed see a group of hairy crabs lying on the rock face, waiting for their prey.

At the summit of the cliff, a giant hairy crab, several times larger than them, was taking a nap.

That was their goal this time.

"Before we clash with that Rock Wall Master, let's try to drive away all the Pokémon around us to clear the battle area."

Qingyu glanced at the terrain and quickly made a judgment.

In the game, once you enter a battle, the trainer and Pokémon are in an "unselectable" state, so you will never encounter a group attack.

And this treasure owner is clearly the king of the hairy cliff crabs in this area.

If we don't clear the area before making a move, we might face an attack from the entire tribe...

"Ah."

Piper responded with a comment, then spoke again after a few seconds of thought:
"Before the battle with the Pokémon Master begins, can I go and catch a Pokémon nearby?"

He currently only has a low-level Greedy Squirrel, which can play a very limited role in this battle.

If the opponent is a hairy crab, the large tongue shell that lives in the nearby waters should be a good fighting force.

"It's alright, you go first. These hairy cliff crabs are all quite weak. Nemo and I are enough."

Qingyu readily agreed.

Because the Pokémon living near Tabletop City are mostly at the same level as the new trainers in Orange Academy, they are perfect training partners for them.

Of course, there are occasional instances where teaching assistants run off with students.

However, even if their strength is average, their sheer numbers can still be quite troublesome.

Neither Riolu nor Eevee on Qingyu's side are particularly good at group battles, and as for Milton...

Thinking of this, Qingyu turned around and looked at Millerton, who had already hidden eight hundred meters away and seemed indifferent to the matter. He was speechless for a moment.

This thing is actually a legendary Pokémon from our Padia region?
"Teacher Qingyu, can I use that tactic?"

Noticing that the hairy crabs had already noticed them approaching, Nemo turned her head to look at Qingyu.

Qingyu didn't speak, but nodded silently.

When the opponent is not strong enough, this is the perfect time for Nemo and her earth dragon brother to practice new tactics.

"Then the decision is yours!"

Nemo immediately threw out a Poké Ball, and the little earth dragon brother, lying on the ground and looking silly, appeared.

Qingyu silently pulled the trigger, summoning the waiting Riolu to his side.

"Earth Dragon, use the Circle Transformation skill!"

As Nemo gave the command, the little earth dragon quickly joined its body head to tail, forming a circle.

Immediately following, a second command was issued:

"Then it's rolling!"
