He raised his hand and gently tossed the Poké Ball forward.
The Poké Ball traced a gentle arc in the air, and the moment it touched the forehead of the Alola Vulpix, it burst into red light, capturing it.
The Poké Ball landed on the ground without shaking at all.
There wasn't even a symbolic gesture.
It just fell silent.
Lin Che stepped forward, picked it up, and felt the peaceful aura emanating from it.
He succeeded.
He caught the second partner in his trainer career.
A creature possessing an extremely rare, even legendary, [Snowfall] trait...
A near-Champion-level Alolan Vulpix!
Chapter 18 Dual-Core Lineup, the Law Tablets Beneath the Earth!
Leveling up in the Volcanic Ash Secret Realm is a double test of the trainer's and Pokémon's willpower.
With the powerful new companion, the Alola Vulpix, Lin Che's leveling territory was no longer limited to the outer edges of the Secret Realm. He began to venture deeper into areas with richer resources and greater danger.
"Woo~"
With a light, melodious cry, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and an icy blue, freeze-dried wind rose out of nowhere, precisely covering a wild mammillary that was waving its thick arms and roaring as it charged forward.
The momentum of his wrist charge suddenly stalled, a thin layer of frost quickly condensed on his gray skin, and his movements visibly became sluggish and stiff.
"Ow!"
opportunity!
A powerful roar followed immediately. Growlithe, which had been poised to attack, exerted force with all four limbs, its entire body transforming into an orange-red afterimage, carrying a scorching wave of air, and slammed into the slowed Machop.
The collision of flames and frost instantly created a large cloud of white mist.
The arm-strength creature, whose level was close to LV.10, couldn't even put up a decent resistance before its eyes rolled back, and it completely lost its ability to fight under the combined attack of ice and fire.
Perfect teamwork.
Lin Che stood on a volcanic rock not far away and nodded in satisfaction.
Alolan Vulpix's Ice-type moves are a perfect counter to Ground and Rock-type Pokémon commonly found in the Secret Realm, and its Snow Cloak ability provides excellent concealment and evasion in volcanic ash-filled environments.
Growlithe, with its outstanding explosive power and aggressiveness, plays the undisputed role of the terminator.
One ice, one fire; one control, one attack.
This seemingly contradictory team combination has unleashed a terrifying efficiency where one plus one is far greater than two.
As for the temporarily rented burrowing mole, it became the eyes of this efficient team. With its keen sense of the earth, it could always locate lone, suitable prey in advance, while avoiding large groups of powerful wild elves.
Clear division of labor and efficiency as the top priority.
The results of this almost frantic, sweeping leveling up were remarkable.
After a full day of intense battles, Growlithe's level steadily increased to LV.8, bringing it one step closer to evolution.
Meanwhile, the Alola Vulpix, which had just joined the team, had also caught up to LV.7 and was gradually adapting to the rhythm of the battle with Lin Che.
Night began to silently devour the last rays of sunlight on the horizon.
The setting sun painted the desolate volcanic ash land a magnificent yet bleak dark gold, while the wind howled across the land, whipping up the cold volcanic ash with a sound like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
Lin Che chose a sheltered cave as his temporary campsite.
He simply blocked the cave entrance with a few large stones, leaving only a small gap for ventilation, and then lit a small campfire. The orange-red flames flickered, illuminating the cold rock walls and dispelling some of the chill inside the cave.
The Growlithe lay wearily by the fire, resting its head obediently on Lin Che's lap, enjoying the gentle stroking of its owner's hand, and purring contentedly.
The Alolan Vulpix lay gracefully on the other side, its snow-white tail swaying gently, its icy blue eyes curiously surveying its surroundings, filled with wariness towards this unfamiliar world.
Everything seemed so quiet and peaceful.
Lin Che rummaged through his huge backpack and found his dinner—compressed biscuits and a high-energy nutrition bar.
He tore open the packaging, broke the hard biscuit into small pieces, gave them to his two friends first, and then stuffed the remaining half into his own mouth.
The biscuits were dry and hard, had no flavor, and were even a bit tough to chew.
But he didn't care. He just leaned against the rough rock wall, feeling the warmth on his legs and listening to the crackling sound of the campfire. An unprecedented sense of peace and satisfaction welled up in his heart.
at this time.
Without any warning.
A sharp, urgent alarm, as if piercing his soul, exploded deep within his mind!
Om-!
That wasn't a sound heard through the ears, but a violent impact that originated from the spiritual level and was unavoidable!
In that instant, Lin Che's entire world lost all sound and color, leaving only that blood-red text that was flashing wildly and magnifying in his mind!
【warn!warn! 】
[An extremely high-level energy level of creation reaction detected! Coordinates locked: Directly below, 50 meters vertically underground!]
[Energy source tracing... matching database...]
[Based on assessment... the target is an ancient artifact containing the residual aura of the creator god Arceus—]
[Fragment of the "Flame Stone Tablet"!]
boom! ! !
Lin Che's brain completely shut down.
The concept of time seemed to be stretched infinitely at this moment.
He could clearly "see" the compressed biscuit he had just stuffed into his mouth slip from between his teeth, trace a slow parabola in the air, and finally fall onto the dusty ground, breaking into several smaller pieces.
He could clearly "hear" the deafening, violent throbbing of his heart, like the beating of war drums, after it stopped for a beat.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Each heartbeat caused him excruciating chest pain and his temples to throb violently.
fire……
Flame Stone Tablets?!
He froze on the spot, his pupils shrinking to dangerous pinpoints, his muscles tensing from extreme shock, and even beginning to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
That's not a noun.
That is a living legend, flowing in the blood of all trainers!
Arceus, the God of Creation!
The seventeen stone tablets used to create heaven and earth and to govern the fundamental laws of the world!
That is the supreme relic located at the very top of the pyramid of the entire Pokémon world, touching the realm of "gods"! It is the ultimate legend that countless champions and Elite Four members have spent their entire lives pursuing, yet they have not been able to even touch a trace of it!
even if...
It was just a fragment!
That also means that it contains the most primordial and purest laws of fire in this world!
An indescribable, burning sensation, originating from the deepest part of his soul, traveled upwards from his tailbone, instantly overwhelming all his reason.
In a mere second, the blood in my body was completely ignited.
It was no longer a flowing liquid, but a surging, roaring, scalding magma!
His breathing became incredibly heavy, his eyes were filled with terrifying bloodshot veins, and he stared intently at the plain, cold rocky ground beneath his feet.
It was as if they wanted to pierce through it with their gaze and see the earth-shattering secret buried fifty meters underground, a secret that could overturn the world order!
My heart started pounding uncontrollably.
At that moment, all the blood in my body boiled!
Chapter 19 The Light of Evolution, Arcanine Reigns Supreme!
Lin Che's brain was buzzing from the extreme shock, but his actions were faster than his thoughts.
His heart was still pounding wildly in his chest, and there was even a trace of uncontrollable trembling in his fingertips, but his eyes had regained absolute calm and sharpness.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Che directly opened the emergency contact interface of the rental center.
The moment the call connected, he cut straight to the point with an undeniable, powerfully authoritative voice.
"I need to renew your burrowing mole lease, immediately!"
The person on the other end of the phone was clearly taken aback by this sudden request and instinctively wanted to ask why.
Lin Che did not give him that chance.
"It requires a deep excavation, the target: fifty meters underground!"
"I'll pay double the price!"
Double!
As soon as those two words were spoken, the breathing on the other end of the phone instantly became heavy.
A huge sum of money, enough to buy a decent ordinary-level Pokémon, was drawn without hesitation.
"No problem! Deal!"
The owner's voice on the other end of the phone changed tone, revealing an uncontrollable ecstasy.
Having received the highest level of permission from its master, the somewhat lazy burrowing mole, which had always served as a scout, completely changed its aura the moment it received the command.
Its eyes blazed with burning fighting spirit, and its deep hiss was filled with a thirst for battle.
This is its instinct as a burrowing mole!
A blinding white light emanated from its sharp claws, instantly coalescing into an indestructible alloy drill bit.
