Chapter 248 Majestic Teeth: Damn it, it's coming for me?
The next morning, when Qingyu got up, she could already hear the pattering of rain.

I reached for my phone from the bedside table. Last night, the weather forecast predicted a 95% chance of sunny weather, but when I woke up, it had quietly changed to a moderate rain forecast.

"I imagine the meteorologists are probably wondering about this too..."

Why did the weather suddenly change when there was absolutely no sign of rain?

This is far more absurd than a sudden clearing up.

"However, they probably never imagined that this would be the result of human interference, right?"

He suddenly understood the exhilarating feeling of rain falling wherever he went, completely defying the logic of reality.

A bighead carp? Nothing special!

Qingyu murmured to herself as she quickly got up and washed.

After preparing everything, he walked out of the dojo and took off the rain doll outside.

Going out in the rain is usually a miserable experience, but because Milton has an "autopilot" function, and the physical constitution of humans in the Pokémon world is somewhat absurd, he didn't even bother to put on a raincoat for a light drizzle.

Since becoming a trainer, Qingyu has been able to clearly feel that his physical fitness is getting better and better.

He wasn't quite sure why, but perhaps it could only be attributed to the extremely high level of physical activity required in the Pokémon world...

His Pokémon are all quite formidable; Sylveon trains his arm strength, Bagon trains his resilience, and occasionally they even help Urgot farm.

If this continues, Qingyu always feels that he might become a "super Padia" in the future?
After waking Milton from its deep sleep, Qingyu smiled slightly, despite Milton's somewhat disappointed expression, and took out the sandwiches she had prepared.

"Let's go, Tabletop City!"

As a rideable Pokémon, Milerton is quite easy to manage. Just prepare a few of its favorite sandwiches as "fuel" and it will automatically recharge.

Highly efficient, clean, and pollution-free, it's an essential mode of transportation for home and travel.
Riding Milton to the outskirts of Tabletop City, Steven can be seen waiting for him at the Pokémon Center station in Padia.

He stood ramrod straight, chatting casually with a Miss Joey who was in charge of Tabletop City, occasionally flashing a confident smile, exuding charisma.

As expected of a perfectly dashing young nobleman, he can even turn the Pokémon Center into his own territory when he's out of the rain; you can spot him at a glance...

With that thought in mind, Qingyu quickly moved closer.

Daigo glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and quickly noticed Aoba's arrival, then immediately looked at him.

"Teacher Yu, you've arrived."

"I am coming."

Qingyu replied instinctively before realizing what was happening—

People from the Pokémon world probably wouldn't understand this joke, right?

Sure enough, his reply stunned Daigo.

But Daigo didn't seem to care much and quickly spoke again:
"In that case, let's set off."

"Teacher Yu, the preparations you mentioned yesterday, were you waiting for today's rain?"

That guess was pretty accurate...

Aoba raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. He just gave Daigo a mysterious smile and then waved at him.

"No time to explain, get in the car quickly!"

……

The majestic Ya is located in the Khun Khun Desert, a special region in western Parthia.

The Padiya region boasts an exceptionally favorable ecological environment. In addition to the common plains and hills, the north features Mount Frostmoor, the highest peak in Padiya, and the vast Lake Dagba (Great Cauldron). The west is a dry, scorching desert, the east is a large mining area, and the south has been developed into a residential region with numerous towns.

This is also the main reason why there are so many different types of Pokémon in Padonia.

After traversing the vast olive groves of Dockland, one can vaguely see the distant, scorching desert.

"Padia is such a wonderful place. Not only have we discovered Pokémon from the past, but there might also be fossils left by ancient Pokémon in the desert!"

"Generally speaking, there are some fossils in every region. If we can use fossil restoration technology to bring them back to life, I think it would be a very meaningful thing."

As they gradually drove towards the scorching desert, Daigo, sitting in the back seat of Qingyu, couldn't help but sigh.

"..."

Qingyu did not respond.

As expected of Daigo-san, you can't stop talking about fossils.

Besides his well-known hobbies of mining and Steel-type Pokémon, Steven is also a fossil enthusiast.

Of his main Pokémon, apart from the Steel-type Aggron, Skarmory, and Metagross, the other three (Cradle, Archon, and Claydol) can be considered as having been dug up from the ground.

Maybe he personally dug them up and nurtured them before...

As a champion, it's normal to have some hobbies, right?
Unfortunately, based on Qingyu's knowledge, the Padia region likely doesn't contain the fossils he's hoping for. After all, the Ancient Species in Paradox Pokémon are individuals from the past, and they don't even need fossil reconstruction; a batch could be found simply by entering Sector Zero.

Of course, whether or not they can win is another matter entirely.

Paradox Pokémon are not like the wild Pokémon of today who know when to stop and fight.

Humans probably hadn't even been born by the timeline of their existence, let alone reached a tacit understanding with them.

In the ancient Pokémon worldview, a defeated trainer was considered lucky to survive if they weren't eaten immediately, meaning every battle was essentially a dark duel.

Therefore, after the incident in Zone Zero, the Padiya League immediately chose to close the access route.

If this magnificent tooth hadn't remained unharmed for the past six months, the league would probably have already deployed personnel to deal with it.

But even if you haven't made a mistake yet, it doesn't mean you won't attack innocent passersby in the future!
Therefore, today, Teacher Yu will join Daigo in upholding justice!
Soon we entered the area of ​​the scorching desert, where the originally solid ground was replaced by yellow sand dampened by rain, making it appear somewhat soft.

"Gah..."

Feeling the subtle sensation under his feet, Millerton sighed helplessly.

Normally, it would never venture into this desert and get itself dirty, but...

Qingyu gave us too much! (Referring to the sandwich)
"Is it because of the rain? There was no sandstorm in the desert of the Parthian region. I even prepared two pairs of dust-proof goggles."

The sound of Daigo's muttering behind him quickly brought back memories of Aoba's early days in the Gem Generations.

The person who came up with the idea of ​​placing a small section of desert between two roads, which would be impassable without the dust goggles given to them by their nemesis, is a genius.

When Qingyu got stuck in the desert, she really wanted to complain. It looked like such a short distance, why not just rush through it if all else fails...

Don't underestimate the physical strength of humans in the Pokémon world!

Perhaps because the rain made the weather humid, some of the Pokémon in the desert didn't seem to adapt well to the change and didn't appear.

Pokémon like Jalapeno and Cactusaur are noticeably more active.

After traveling a short distance in the scorching desert, Qingyu soon heard a loud rumbling sound, and even the ground began to tremble as the sound traveled.

The Pokémon that were leisurely absorbing water were suddenly startled and scattered in all directions.

Millerton also suddenly stopped, his gaze passing over the thin mist stirred up by the rain, looking in a certain direction not far away.

It could sense that there was a very familiar presence there.

"Is this... a minor earthquake caused by some kind of Pokémon running?"

Daigo quickly realized what was going on. He was an expert on ground, rock, and steel, so he made a judgment instantly.

"If it can affect such a large area, it must be quite large, right?"

"But if it could make such a noticeable commotion, why hasn't it been discovered all this time?"

While pondering, Daigo quickly raised his own questions.

Qingyu remained calm in response and casually replied:
"It's probably the rain that's affecting it. The rain has made this Pokémon, which hates water, even more irritable, which is why it couldn't help but get angry."

Although the reason is rather far-fetched, it is still reasonable.

After all, Qingyu couldn't very well say outright that the Padia Alliance was short-handed, which was why they hadn't had time to deal with it...

Thinking about it carefully, the league has indeed always been short-handed.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings of Padia is missing, and the workaholic Aoki needs to remain stationed in Jinhui Town, which is the only entrance to the Zero District.

On the surface, Aoki is an Elite Four member and the Gym Leader of Kinkaku Town, but in reality, his main job right now is to stay in Kinkaku Town to prevent any Pokémon from breaking through the blockade and escaping again.

Dragon King Bashuo also took on the work of managing and supervising Orange Academy, and it was clear that he was not able to be spared.

As for Xinli and Yeci, they still need to solve the mountain of work piling up within the alliance.

Even if a nine-year-old superstar joins the league in the future, they can't just assign these tasks to a child, can they?

So you can't blame President Yeci for exploiting Aoki. There's really no other way. The entire alliance is so busy that they don't have time to deal with these things.

It's a bit unsettling to leave it to the Gym Leaders, since Paradox Pokémon are all incredibly powerful. If things go wrong, the consequences could be huge.

But it doesn't matter, Qingyu has always been a kind-hearted person.

Since the alliance is having difficulties, I (and Daigo) will just lend a hand and help solve them!
Driving the somewhat reluctant Milerton, Qingyu continued towards the direction from which the sound came. Soon, he saw a huge creature, as tall as two or three people, charging forward in the distance.

In appearance, it does indeed have obvious similarities to Donak, except that its pair of thick, curved tusks look more ferocious, and the red scales all over its body and the red down on its feet highlight its primitive nature.

The biggest difference between him and Donjia is his pair of scarlet eyes that seem to be filled with rage and could erupt at any moment to hurt people.

The moment Qingyu saw this behemoth, he knew in his heart—

They've found their target for this trip!
