Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Outside, the underground space was illuminated by stones emitting a red glow, while inside the tunnel, tiny, crystalline fragments were scattered haphazardly on the cave walls.

Xia Yan casually picked up a piece.

It's spread out in my palm.

It's very small, less than half the size of a fingernail.

Its shape is also irregular, and its overall color is bright silver with a faint silvery halo.

The light it brings is very little.

But the tens of thousands of tiny fragments densely distributed inside the cave illuminated the entire cave.

"This is......"

The elves also gathered around with great curiosity. The little fire monkey stood on the rock wall next to Xia Yan, its small body showing remarkable climbing skills.

Xia Yan looked up at Beedrill, and his gaze met Beedrill's.

"Silver powder?"

The bee nodded hesitantly, but then quickly shook its head.

It's not silver powder.

Although they look similar, the silver powder particles are much smaller, and it doesn't feel any attraction to them.

"If it's not silver powder... then it must be scale powder."

Xia Yan had an answer.

Some Bug-type Pokémon carry scales that emit a faint silver glow, which is also one of their attack methods. One of the more famous examples is Momogra.

So much scale powder densely packed in such a cave?

He blew the scales off his palm, clapped his hands lightly, and said, "It might not be safe inside, so be careful."

He gave Yongjira a wink.

Kadabra understood and gently pulled the little Chimchar closer to itself using its psychic powers.

They cautiously walked inside.

As they went deeper, the intense heat and dryness became increasingly apparent.

This shows that they are on the right track.

"Chocolate!"

Suddenly, Togekiss flew to the ground, picked up a small, dark red fragment, which was similar to the one Chimchar used to pick its teeth, only slightly different in shape.

He took the fragment from Pokkiku.

Xia Yan slowly furrowed his brows.

"Another small fragment like this?"

Given Groudon's original size, the two pieces he obtained before were already considered relatively small.

What Groudon obtained this time was probably just a small amount of keratin on its body.

Even after being enveloped by superpowers, the burning, dry feeling did not disappear.

There's more inside.

"Was it a fragment of Primal Groudon's shell that was shattered by a certain Pokémon, or... was Primal Groudon destroyed?"

Did Chapter 94 wander onto the wrong set?

This tunnel is very long.

Very long.

But along the way, you can always find some original Groudon shell fragments, no, pieces, of varying sizes, shapes, and patterns.

They were all small pieces, only the size of a thumb, some even smaller than a thumb, about the size of a fingernail.

But don't say it.

All things considered, I've collected quite a lot.

These fragments were all taken and kept by Pokkigu.

In its own words.

'I'll help you put it back together.'

Puzzles are something Pokkigu excels at.

Xia Yan didn't have any demands, so he simply gave it to Pokkigu and let it do what it wanted.

Because there were so many pieces, Chimchar also joined in the "puzzle" process.

Two elves followed behind them, chattering excitedly about where to put one piece and where to put the other.

The little fire monkey drew a big circle with both hands.

Pokkigu shook his head, took out one of the long, thin pieces, and indicated that this wouldn't work.

Then, its little eyes darted around, and it put its two little hands together, pulling horizontally from the inside out.

The little fire monkey's eyes lit up instantly, and it nodded repeatedly.

Reliable.

Pokkiku is truly insightful and has many ideas.

So, under Togekiss's command, the two Pokémon worked together to piece together the fragments.

We encountered another one.

This one is slightly larger, but not by much.

Kadabra used its psychic powers to pick it up and give it to Togekiss and Chimchar, but Xia Yan's attention was no longer on it.

Because this long tunnel seems to be finally coming to an end.

Not far away in the dim light, at the end of the tunnel, there was a patch of orange light.

He quickened his pace without realizing it.

They didn't encounter any attacks from wild Pokémon along the way, which gave Togekiss and Chimchar the time and interest to enjoy the trip.

As they approached.

The orange light became even more pronounced.

Along with this, the temperature also rose higher and higher. Even with Xia Yan's superpowers protecting him, fine beads of sweat still appeared on his forehead.

The most noticeable change is in the flames on the tail of the little chinchilla, which are now very strong and full of energy.

at last.

As Xia Yan took the final step, the scene before him changed.

The monotonous, dimly lit tunnel was transformed into a towering cavern filled with orange light. What immediately caught his eye was something hanging above the cavern, radiating a rich orange glow, like a small sun.

"A...cocoon?"

Xia Yan stared intently at the glowing object and could easily tell that it was a cocoon wrapped in thick silk threads.

Because above this huge cave, there were a large number of silk threads, densely packed like a canopy of the sky, fixed to the rock walls around the cave, and distributed regularly around the cocoon.

The light emanating from the cocoon was just like a burning sun, but the bright white silk threads showed no sign of burning.

Furthermore, this cave has remained in this state for who knows how many years.

Chimchar is most sensitive to fire-type energy. It stared blankly up at the cocoon above its head, feeling...

It was like a massive accumulation of fire-based energy, so massive that it defied description.

"Chocolate!"

The sharp-eyed Pokkigu spotted another piece of debris scattered on the ground, and its shape and size were almost exactly as it had imagined.

It's the last piece of the puzzle.

Without saying a word, he picked up the broken pieces.

Then, with a bit of effort, it slowly and painstakingly hammered it into the already outlined object in its hand.

As this stone slab was embedded, the previously scattered fragments became completely compacted, and the gaps between them became almost invisible.

You know what?

Pokkiku certainly has a talent for "puzzle-solving," piecing together things from different places...

Xia Yan's gaze moved from top to bottom and finally saw a dark red fragment about the size of a basketball directly below the glowing cocoon. The golden patterns on it were particularly clear and appeared even brighter in the halo of light shining down from above.

It is a fragment of the original Groudon's shell.

It was also the largest piece Xia Yan had ever seen, even larger than the two pieces he had collected before combined.

Just as he was squinting, wondering if taking the fragment would cause any negative consequences, Pokkigu presented him with the piece he had pieced together, as if it were a treasure.

Feeling the warmth from his palm, Xia Yan instinctively grabbed it.

"Ok?"

He quickly sensed something was amiss in terms of touch and shape.

That's not right.

No matter how Pokkiku pieces it together, the resulting fragments shouldn't be a slightly rounded or angular shape.

Warm, round, hard, slender...

Xia Yan couldn't help but look down.

then.

He was completely stunned.

Pokkigu flew up to him, put its hands on its hips, and raised its head arrogantly, with an expression that said, "Praise me, I want to hear it."

But Xia Yan's attention was completely drawn to what he was holding.
