In the dark sky, pattering raindrops fell from the heavy clouds, muddying the mountain road that was originally full of loess.
Fortunately, this situation was considered by Su Yuan before departure.
The props you carry for outdoor exploration also come with corresponding rainproof equipment.
"Pfft——"
When the rain boots were stepped on, the turbid liquid formed by rainwater mixed with loess slightly splashed around.
Su Yuan covered her face with her right hand, sweeping away some of the raindrops on her cheeks, sighing in her heart that she was unlucky.
Although rain had been on his mind from the beginning, Su Yuan only considered it as the worst case scenario.
Originally, the mountain roads in Pawnee Grand Canyon were rugged and difficult to navigate. Now, because of the rain, the mountain roads are muddy and difficult to move forward, and you must always be careful of slipping.
"It would be great if Groudon could come and walk around at this time." Su Yuan muttered in his heart.
The only Pokémon in the world that can truly affect the natural weather are the three gods of Hoenn.
Oh, and maybe include an extra Arceus.
Other Pokémon, even if they have skills such as "Sunny" and "Rain" that can be called "weather" moves, cannot really affect the weather after all.
Even if it was a "sunny day" that he and Orchid Mantis used properly, it would probably be extinguished in the heavy rain within a moment.
But... rainy days are not all bad.
The only thing that made Su Yuan somewhat gratified was that in this rainy weather, most of the Pokémon living in the Poni Grand Canyon chose to stay in their nests.
After all, apart from dragon-type Pokémon, most of those living in Poni Grand Canyon are rock, ground, steel-type and a small number of flying-type Pokémon.
Most of these Pokémon don't like rainy days, and they won't choose to go out for activities on rainy days.
"If we walk a short distance, we will almost reach the cave where the Sonic Dragon is."
Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, gauging the distance in his mind, then turned back to look at Lillie and said, "Why don't you take a short rest later?"
The mountain road on a rainy day is no more exhausting than usual, and it consumes more energy than usual.
This little physical strength has no effect on Su Yuan, but it may not have any effect on Lillie.
Not far ahead, there happens to be another slightly protruding rock wall.
It's not big, but it's enough for two or three people to take shelter from the rain and rest temporarily.
Su Yuan's mind flashed with lightning, and the movements of his hands did not stop.
He held Lillie tightly with his right hand and exerted some force, half pulling and half pulling Lillie to his side.
Ahem, this is not Su Yuan trying to take advantage.
It's just that the road is slippery on rainy days, so it's safer to hold hands and walk together.
But...
Su Yuan didn't think about anything, but Lillie started to think wildly.
The temperature from the palm passes through the blood and finally reaches the heart.
"Dong dong dong..."
Plus last night...
Thinking of this, Lillie felt the temperature on her face rise again.
She wouldn't say that when she went to bed last night, she mistakenly recognized Lan Yuhua's embrace as Su Yuan's, and ended up being nervous most of the night.
Coupled with the fact that little Nebula suddenly appeared in her arms and was restless even when sleeping, Lillie even more mistakenly thought...
"ah!!!"
Lillie felt shy in her heart. After hearing Su Yuan's voice, her eyes subconsciously met hers.
Calm black eyes, with a little concern in his tone.
Lillie's eyes trembled slightly, but she escaped from sight for just a moment. At the same time, she opened her mouth and let out a soft hum.
She didn't refuse.
Today was not like driving on flat ground like yesterday. The climb and rugged mountain roads coupled with the moderate rain really made her feel a little tired.
Ten minutes later, under the protruding rock wall.
After adjusting her breathing for a moment, Lillie wiped the traces of sweat or rain on her forehead, then picked up the mineral water handed over by Su Yuan and took a small sip.
Placing the bottle on the ground that was not very wet, Lillie crossed her hands and gently rubbed the palm of her left hand with the thumb of her right hand.
"Tick tock..."
The small splashes of water from the raindrops are fleeting.
Lillie suddenly felt that this rain was not as bad as she imagined.
Well... at least let her be with...
Most of the rainwater cannot hit the area covered by the rock wall.
The backpack on Su Yuan's back was suddenly pushed open by a round spherical object, opening a small gap.
Unlike the Orchid Mantises who can hide in Poké Balls, in order to avoid the rain, Little Nebula can only temporarily hide in a waterproof backpack.
This really suffocated little Nebula.
Now I am taking advantage of the opportunity to take shelter from the rain, so I have the opportunity to go out for a walk.
"Mogu...?" Cosmogu stretched out his "hands", carefully put them into the rain, and then quickly retracted them.
A few drops of rain fell on Cosmogu's hand, bringing with it a cool moistness that aroused little Nebula's playful thoughts.
She quietly turned around and looked at Su Yuan and Lillie. After seeing that her "parents" had no intention of stopping them, Little Nebula became more playful.
"Mogu Mogu~"
Cosmog's hands retracted and stretched out again, having a great time playing.
Su Yuan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but recall himself when he was a child, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
When I was a child, I seemed to have the same bear-like appearance, and it seemed even worse.
Especially after losing to the fire-spotted cat in the "rain hiding game", some of them couldn't afford it, so they rushed into the heavy rain with the fire-spotted cat and started playing around.
Of course, you will inevitably be scolded by your mother afterwards.
Su Yuan silently took out his mobile phone and pressed the video recording button.
The magnetic field in the canyon can interfere with device communications, but video recording is still possible.
"In the future...after Cosmog evolves into the Sun and Moon Gods, what will his expression be like when he sees himself now?"
Su Yuan thought with some evil intentions.
The evolution of some Pokémon will change their personalities. For example, the three evolution stages of Flame Rabbit and Lalu Lash have different personalities at each stage.
As one of the legendary Pokémon, Cosmog is naturally the same.
It should be quite interesting, right?
Time gradually moves to the right in Cosmogu's fight.
After a short rest, Lillie's physical strength was almost restored. She and Su Yuan put on their rainproof suits again and continued towards the cave where the Sonic Dragon was.
It's a pity that during this break, instead of letting down, the rain seems to be getting heavier.
"Well, after entering the cave, the weather outside has nothing to do with us for the time being." Su Yuan said.
Lillie nodded and responded softly. In her free hand, she held several bottles of "Golden Spray" that she had prepared long ago.
As a former doctoral assistant, she actually knew it very well.
Pokémon in this kind of weather don't like to go out, and most of them stay in their lairs.
That is to say...
"The sonic dragon's cave that we are about to enter later will probably be much more dangerous than usual."
Lillie lowered her eyes and secretly decided in her heart, "At least I can't hold back Su Yuan."
