Chapter 60 Meeting Hercules on the Road and Stealing the Crystal
Wu Ma rested for one night at Dr. Kuangmu's research institute and set out for the next city the next day. The trip to Johto officially began.
Wuma came to the alliance hall of Luoye Town and registered for the competition. After registering, he left Ruoye Town.
After leaving Ruoye Town, Wuma first passed a grassland and then entered a forest.
Wu Ma discovered that there were also some Pokémon from the Kanto region in this forest, such as green caterpillars. Of course, in addition to these, there were also Pokémon native to the Johto region, such as ladybugs and orb spiders.
.
Ladybug is a relatively gentle Pokémon. You need to be careful when encountering orb spiders. There are some orb spiders that live alone and some that live in groups. If you encounter a group situation, you will not only encounter a large group of orb spiders.
, and you might even encounter its evolved form, Alidos.
Alidos is a bit like the giant needle wasps in Kanto, they are very difficult to mess with.
"The air here is so nice." The fairy beast ran out again without permission.
"Wuma, where are we?" Fairymon asked, looking around.
"This is the Johto area, a new area."
"Well, then there must be something more fun." Fairymon flew forward happily.
While walking, a Pokémon suddenly rushed towards Wu Ma. Wu Ma subconsciously turned sideways to avoid the attack.
During the training on the island, this avoidance reaction has formed muscle memory.
After dodging, Wu Ma discovered that the one attacking him was a rata.
"Fairymon, teach it a lesson."
Wuma will not harm Pokémon at will, but if a Pokémon attacks him, it will be punished slightly.
"Look at me!"
The fairy beast flew over, raised its spear, and lifted Lada into the air. Then it lifted it hard and knocked Lada into the air.
After Lada flew to the highest point, it fell rapidly. Before falling to the ground, the fairy beast used its spear to hit it into the air again. After going back and forth several times, Lada could no longer bear it.
"That's it."
The fairy beast flew back. Lada fell down and hit the ground. The continuous shaking up and down, coupled with the final impact, made Lada faint and became unable to move for a short time.
"Okay, let's go!"
After the short interlude, Wuma continued on his way. After walking for a certain distance, he suddenly realized that something was not right around him.
Wuma saw several smaller trees withering nearby. If only one tree had withered, it would be normal. But when he walked more than ten meters, he saw that many trees had withered.
"These trees are so strange." Fairymon said as he walked around a few dead trees.
Wuma walked over and observed carefully. He found that there were many small holes in the trees, which seemed to have been bitten by something. These trees probably died because of these holes.
Wuma continued to walk forward, and suddenly saw a dark blue Pokémon lying on the tree and chewing.
The witch horse walked over and took a look and found that it was Heracross. He walked closer and found that Heracross had bitten a hole in the tree and sucked the juice inside.
Wuma immediately wondered how those trees died. It seemed that it was probably due to Heracross excessively sucking the sap from the trees.
But Wu Ma also felt something strange. This forest had existed for many years, and Heracross did not appear in this forest suddenly.
Heracross must also understand that if the tree dies, they will no longer be able to suck the sap from the tree. So when they suck, they usually look for stronger trees and only suck part of the sap from the tree to ensure that the tree
In this way, when the tree recovers, they can absorb it again. It is really rare to absorb it all at once like this.
The witch horse saw that in addition to Heracross, there were also some insects such as bada butterflies, which also came to suck the sap from the tree. Heracross did not choose to monopolize it, but shared it with everyone.
.
From this point of view, they should be very harmonious.
"Damn it, how could they do this? These trees are all dead. It's really abominable."
The fairy beast suddenly rushed towards Heracross.
"watch out!"
The fairy beast swung its spear and hit Hercules, knocking them off the tree.
The other Pokémon were frightened and flew away. After Herakron reacted, he immediately hit the Fairymon.
The fairy beast evaded quickly and escaped the attack.
"I won't let you destroy trees anymore."
"Bit bomb!"
"Stop Fairymon!"
Wu Ma wanted to stop the Fairy Beast, but it was too late. If Hercules was hit by a bit bomb, it would be over.
At this time, several Bada butterflies flapped their wings and used whirlwind to wrap up the bit bomb.
After the bit bomb exploded in the wind, it swallowed up all the wind. With the resistance of the wind wall, the Pokémon was not harmed.
"Wait a minute Fairymon, don't fight yet."
"But I can't let them kill the tree like this." Fairymon said.
"Even if you can stop it this time, you won't be able to stop it in the future. And I think they may not have destroyed these trees."
"Really? But I clearly saw them chewing on the tree trunk."
"What we usually eat is the sap of trees. Generally, sucking some will not cause much harm to the trees. So there should be other reasons for the death of those trees."
The witch horse noticed that the tree that Heracross had just sucked sap from was of a different type than the dead trees.
The tree they just sucked from was big and had a lot of sap, so it was no problem to suck some. But the dead trees were smaller and didn't secrete much sap. After the sap was sucked, they died directly.
After the Fairy Beasts stopped attacking, Heracross flew back to the tree and started sucking. The other Pokémon were frightened and did not dare to come over for the time being. It must be said that Heracross was a group of foodies.
Suddenly, several brown Pokémon rushed out from the nearby bushes. They looked like beetles, with a big pincer on their head. This was another insect-type Pokémon, the Great Armor.
I saw Dajia climbing up the tree and starting to attack Heracross.
Heracross could not withstand the attack and flew to other trees to feed. These trees were the same as those dead trees.
Wu Ma finally understood why those trees died. It seemed that it was because Dajia forced the Heracross to other trees, so that they could only suck the sap of those trees, causing the trees to die.
To solve this problem, the Dajia must be driven away. Judging from the number of dead trees, these Dajia have been in this territory for some time.
"Fairymon, take down those big armors."
"no problem!"
The fairy beasts flew over and beat the big armor away in a few seconds. After the big armors left, Hercules flew back again. It seemed that they really liked the sap of this tree.
"Elfmon, please come back first."
Wu Ma will conduct an investigation next. The Fairy Beast is too impulsive and is not suitable to be taken around. But for the sake of safety, it is still necessary to have a Pokémon follow it. In this regard, Stinky Flower is quite experienced.
"Come out, Stinky Flower." Wu Ma released the Stinky Flower.
"Let's go, Wuma, go see if there is a Dajia residence nearby."
Most Pokémon have fixed places of residence. If the Pokémon would go to the gathering place of Heracross, it means there is something wrong with the Pokémon's own gathering place.
After the Wuma moved forward for a certain distance, more than ten large armored animals rushed out and surrounded him.
Some of the big armors were beaten away by the fairy beasts, and they found more companions to take revenge.
Dajiamen opens and closes the pliers on his head, pointing towards
Attack with a witch horse.
"Stinky Flower, use the seed machine gun."
The Stinky Flower's seed machine gun hit the big armor accurately and drove them back. But soon, the big armors rushed back again.
Dajia's own defense is quite high, and it restrains the grass type in terms of attributes, so the Stinky Flower's attack is not particularly effective.
The giants rushed over madly, much more ferociously than Heracross.
"Stinky Flower, use sleeping powder."
Stinky Flower sprayed sleeping powder around. Wuma quickly covered his nose to prevent him from inhaling the sleeping powder.
The Dajia people inhaled the sleeping powder, became drowsy, and all fell to the ground.
It's just such a group of average-strength armored men who can't cause much trouble to Wuma.
Wuma continued to move forward and noticed some movement in front. He walked over and saw a group of people stationed here.
The witch horse approached quietly, hid in the bushes, and watched from a distance.
The people stationed here cleared away all the surrounding trees and seemed to be digging for something.
Judging from this area, it should be where Da Jia lived. In order to dig things here, they drove Da Jia to where Heracross lived, which led to a series of things that happened afterwards.
This group of people are familiar to each other, because their clothes have a big r written on them. They are obviously members of Team Rocket.
Wu Ma didn't want to mess with the Rockets, but he was very interested in what the Rockets were digging.
Wu Ma suddenly felt something approaching him. He looked over and found two big-mouthed bats.
After the big-mouthed bat discovered the witch horse, it immediately emitted ultrasonic waves. Although this ultrasonic wave was inaudible, it also made the witch horse very uncomfortable.
While trying its best to cover its ears, Wuma also allowed Skunk to attack.
The seed machine gun hit the big-mouthed bat, interrupting the ultrasonic wave.
Although the Big Mouth Bat was solved, he was also discovered by the Rockets. Two members of the Rockets walked over.
"Stinky flower, use paralysis powder."
The Stinky Flower released a large amount of paralyzing powder, forming a barrier. Then Wuma put away the Stinky Flower and quickly ran to the side.
Team Rocket's people covered their mouths and noses and rushed out from the barrier of paralysis powder, but they could not find Wuma.
Wuma hid in a big tree and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing him.
Since Team Rocket used such a level of guards, it means that what they dug must be very important. Traveling is quite boring anyway, so it would be good to see what they are looking for.
At night, Wuma approached Team Rocket's camp again.
This time, Wu Ma put on a specific stealth suit and also paid attention to the surrounding Pokémon. In this way, he should not be discovered by Team Rocket.
After watching for a few hours, Wu Ma saw them digging a white thing out of the ground.
After seeing it clearly, Wu Ma discovered that it was a piece of white crystal. The crystal emitted a faint light, which was extremely conspicuous in the night.
Not long after, they transported another piece of crystal. It seemed that there should be a crystal vein underground.
Wu Ma looked around and quietly ran to the side.
At this time, a big-mouthed bat appeared in front of the Wuma. The Wuma hid in the bushes and breathed less. After the Big-mouthed Bat flew away, the Wuma continued to move forward.
He came to the tent where crystals were stored in the camp.
"Come out, Chuanshan King."
Wuma carefully released King Chuanshan and then let him dig a hole.
Chuanshan King moved quickly and dug a tunnel leading to the tent in a few minutes. This tunnel was just right for the Wuma to crawl in.
Wuma followed Chuanshan King into the tunnel. Soon he climbed to the position under the tent.
Wuma asked Chuanshan King to go out first, and then climbed out after making sure there was no one outside.
Wu Ma looked at
In the tent, he found several white crystals piled up inside. He chose a small crystal and put it into the system space.
After getting the crystal, Wuma and Chuanshan King left the tunnel again.
When Wuma came out of the tunnel, he heard Team Rocket's people yelling that something was stolen. Wuma didn't expect to be discovered so quickly and immediately ran towards the woods.
Team Rocket's people followed the tunnel and came to the place where Wuma said he would dig a hole.
"Some of you will stay and guard, while the others will come with me to find it. I must not let anyone go!"
Team Rocket doesn't mind others knowing that they are digging crystals. What they care more about is that their things are stolen. They are the only ones who steal from others, and others are never allowed to steal their things.
Soon, more than a dozen members of Team Rocket dispersed into the forest, looking for Wuma.
The wizard walked quickly through the woods. He didn't dare to let the Pokémon fly, otherwise his position would be revealed immediately.
In fact, even if they fight, Wu Ma may not be able to defeat these Rockets people. But if they get entangled, it will be really troublesome. And he doesn't know if there are any Rockets cadres among them. There are still Rockets members.
There are some powerful trainers, some even comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings.
Wuma's counter-reconnaissance results were also very good, leaving no traces along the way. In addition, the perfume masked his scent, and the Rockets never found him at all.
After running far away, Wuma sat down to rest. He took out the crystal from the system space. It was a crystal about the size of a head. If you looked carefully, you found that the crystal was not white, but transparent. But except for
In addition, Wu Ma didn't find anything special. Could it be that the Rockets were simply short of money, so they came to dig for crystals?
Seeing this crystal, Wu Ma suddenly remembered the water stone before. When he dug out the water stone, he had clearly agreed with Xiaogang that after selling the water stone, he would split the money in half.
As a result, Wu Ma forgot about this matter in a hurry, and now the water stone is still stored in the system space. I think Xiaogang will not mind this matter.
Wuma put the crystal back into the system space. After arriving in the city, he sent the crystal to Dr. Oak to see if he could detect anything. Team Rocket would not spend so much effort to do this for no reason.
There must be some special reason for the crystal.
Wu Ma found a tree without Pokémon and climbed up. He sat on the branch, leaned against the trunk, closed his eyes, and had a good rest. His alertness had been well trained, even at night.
It's no problem if there are no Pokémon guards.
The next day, Wuma woke up under the sunlight. He took out the water from his backpack, took a sip, rinsed his mouth and spit it out. Then he took out the bread and jam and ate it simply.
breakfast.
After gaining some strength, Wu Ma continued on his way.
After Wuma walked in the woods for two days, he entered a valley again. There were mountains on both sides of the valley, and other places were covered with trees. If he wanted to go to the next city, he had to pass through this valley.
.
After walking a certain distance, Wuma suddenly heard a loud noise, and the ground shook slightly.
Wu Ma was a little surprised. Could it be that the Rockets were digging crystals here again?
After ringing a few times, the sound disappeared again. Wuma felt that the sound was still a bit far away, so he continued to move forward.
When they reached the middle of the valley, Wuma saw a Dunjia. Under the command of a girl, this Dunjia hit the rock wall. As the Dunjia hit, the ground shook again.
Looking at this scene, Wu Ma finally understood where the noise and vibration just came from.
At this time, a rock from the rock wall fell down and fell to the ground. The girl walked over and picked up the rock. After seeing the condition of the rock, she smiled.
"Great, I found another one."
"Hello, excuse me." Wu Ma walked over and said.
"Hello, what's the matter?" the girl asked gently.
"What are you doing?" Wuma was curious.
"Oh, we are looking for agate." The girl didn't hide it.
"agate?"
"Yes, that's it."
The girl showed the stone that had just fallen to Wuma. Wuma found that there were very strange lines on one side of the stone.
"So it's this." This was the first time Wuma saw agate.
"My name is Wuma, what's yours?"
"My name is Yiqi."
"Miss Yiqi, did this stone fall from the mountain?"
"Yes! There are a lot of agates in this valley, and many people come here to dig them. But there are still only a few who can dig them."
Wuma nodded in agreement. If there were too many agates, they would not be considered precious.
"What does digging agate have to do with Dunjia? I just saw that the agate fell off as soon as Dunjia hit the rock wall."
Yi Qi smiled and said, "You are really very perceptive. I live in a village near here. For generations, everyone has relied on finding agates for their lives. Dunjia is a good helper for us in finding agates."
"So that's it! Then can I see how your Dunjia finds agate?"
"Of course. Dunjia, let's look for agate again."
I saw Yiqi giving the agate in his hand to Dunjia to smell. After Dunjia smelled the smell, he began to search. It seemed to smell something and walked to the side.
Wuma and Yiqi followed closely behind Dunjia.
The Du family came to a rock wall, rushed over quickly, and hit the rock wall directly. The rock wall shook under the impact, but no stones fell down.
Dunjia took a few steps back and bumped into it again. The continuous impacts made the stones on the rock wall begin to fall. But even if some stones fell, Dunjia did not stop hitting.
Wuma walked over carefully, picked up a stone and looked at it. He found that it was just an ordinary stone with no agate inside.
Yi Qi said from the side: "Dunjia chose this place, which means there must be agate. Before the agate falls, it will keep hitting it."
Dunjia rushed over suddenly and hit the stone wall.
The rock wall suddenly broke and a huge stone fell down.
"careful!"
Wuma pulled Yiqi and retreated a certain distance. Although the two of them escaped, Dunjia was pressed under the rock.
"Dunjia!"
Yi Qi ran over to check on Dun Jia's condition.
"Come out, Chuanshan King."
"Please, Fairymon."
Wu Ma released the Sand Mountain King and the Fairy Beast and asked them to help clear away the stones pressing on Dun Jia's body.
Chuanshan King quickly split the rock, and the fairy beast moved the rock to one side. Soon everyone rescued Dunjia. Chinese website
"Dunjia, are you okay?" Yi Qi asked with concern.
Dunjia stood up slowly, its body a little unstable. The stone was too big, and even though Dunjia's defense was very high, it still suffered a lot of damage.
"Wuma, look at this."
Fairymon brought a stone over.
"Wuma, look at how beautiful this stone is inside!"
Wuma took a look at the fist-sized stone and found that it had very beautiful lines inside. It must be agate.
"Miss Yiqi, this is the agate found by Dunjia."
Wuma handed the agate to Yi Qi.
Yiqi did not pick up the agate.
"No need, I give you this agate as a thank you gift for helping me rescue Dun Jia."
"Oh well."
Wuma was not polite and took the agate. If such an agate was processed and sold, it would be enough for him to eat for several months. If the quality was very good, he would make a fortune.
"Wuma, I'm sorry, Dunjia is injured. I have to go back to the village to help him heal. Do you want to come with me?
Let’s go to the village together?”
Wuma shook his head: "No, I will leave in a while."
"Then you should be careful when walking in the valley. Rockfalls like this happen often."
"Okay, I'll be careful."
After Yi Qi left, Wuma was not in a hurry to leave.
He looked at the stone wall with a smile on his face. Naturally he would not let go of the valuable agate here. Now that he had come here, it would be unreasonable not to find a few pieces of agate.
