LRAB Chapter 15: News of the Secret Seasoning, and the Mysterious Triceratops Pokémon?!
Chapter 15: News of the Secret Seasoning, and the Mysterious Triceratops Pokémon?!
Li Luochen had been to the secret realm many times.
But I've only ever been to those kinds of secret places that have been developed by others.
This is the first time I've ever been so suddenly transported to explore such an unknown and mysterious place.
Crisis and opportunity go hand in hand.
They come, the security.
Li Luochen quickly adjusted his state, holding a Poké Ball in each hand, waiting for the moment the descent was complete so he could send out his other two companions.
During the process of coming.
The surrounding area was as black as ink staining white paper.
The scattered specks of pink light were the only glimmer of light in this darkness.
As if a dragon's roar echoed in his ears, Li Luochen turned his head unintentionally and noticed a touch of scarlet.
"A stranger who has traversed countless worlds, now that spacetime is in chaos. May you turn the tide and reverse the course of events."
These words entered Li Luochen's mind, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Before going to sleep, he gripped the Poké Ball tightly in his hand, unwilling to let go.
……
……
I don't know how much time passed.
Li Luochen slowly awoke.
Gu Leton, who had been dozing off, immediately woke up and stood in front of Li Luochen to survey the surroundings.
"Ah, all right! Boss, I've got the defenses covered, don't worry!"
So, Leighton patted his firm, tire-like chest, and while speaking, he couldn't help but doze off, creating a sense of absurdity.
"Thank you."
Li Luochen rolled his eyes at Gu Leton, then summoned the system to see if he could find the relevant information.
[Hehe, host, you finally remembered me!]
"Enough with the nonsense, how much do you know about this place?"
In situations where everything is unknown, Li Luochen didn't want to joke around too much before it was safe to do so.
Let's get down to business; jokes can wait until we're safe.
【let me see……】
[Hmm~ This is a secret realm primarily featuring Fire-type Pokémon, where the strength levels of the Pokémon vary greatly.]
The strongest Pokémon reach their peak power level at 75, but the strongest others only reach level 40.
"Level 40, that's about the strength of a mid-elite Pokémon. We need to be careful. But... this place doesn't look like the territory of Fire-type Pokémon."
Li Luochen looked around.
The scenery is beautiful, with clear waters and lush mountains, and a peaceful atmosphere prevails.
Apart from the towering mountain blocking the way, it doesn't look like a secret realm dominated by Fire-type Pokémon at all.
"Let me think... Dad said that in situations like this, it's best to climb to the top of the mountain; you might make an unexpected discovery..."
The advice his deceased father had given him came to mind.
Each of these tips is a good suggestion to maximize your benefits when exploring secret realms.
"Ahhh!" (Boss, I smell that scent again!)
The seemingly loyal guardian, Guleton, instantly transformed into a gluttonous dog, eager to devour the tempting food.
"Let's go, but don't run too fast. Safety is the most important thing."
Li Luochen sent out two more Pokémon, which straddled Charizard's back, and signaled Guleton to lead the way.
"Ah-ga-s!" (Alright! Boss, you guys better stick close to me!)
Therefore, Leton sprinted forward at top speed, swatting away every Pokémon it encountered along the way, which is enough to show its true strength.
Don't let its usual timidity fool you; when faced with a situation that prevents it from enjoying its food, don't be surprised if it transforms into its "Winged King" form.
Have a safe journey.
Only when he was close to the mountain did Leighton stop and even take a few steps back.
"Ah, what should we do, boss?"
Therefore, Leton turned his head to look at Li Luochen flying in the sky and pointed to the deep red platypus Pokémon blocking his way.
Two tufts of flame armor sprouted from his shoulders, his red and yellow skin resembling flowing flames, especially his arms which looked like cannon muzzles, as if they were about to spew forth raging fire at any moment.
Pokémon: Magmortar
[Attribute: Fire]
[Level: 37]
【Characteristic: Body of Flames】
[Moves: Explosive Punch (inherited), Sonic Punch (inherited), Flamethrower... others omitted.]
"Two inherited moves, originating from different Pokémon... Could it be that there's a Vanilla Pokémon around here?"
Li Luochen pondered the resources he could find nearby. Aside from his father, Smeargle, only an item called "Imitate Vanilla" could allow a Pokémon to possess the inherited moves of different Pokémon.
Its price is high, and it is usually an item that only appears at auctions.
"Ah, boss, how about we strike first, knock it out, and then sneak in?"
Therefore, Luton was eager to fight, but he was vulnerable to injury in a one-on-one situation.
It loves to engage in things like group fights.
"No, this duckbill flamingo noticed us, but didn't attack, which means it's not in a state of alien mania."
Exotic Mania is a symptom that only appears in Pokémon that have just arrived in a Secret Realm.
Pokémon that develop this symptom will typically become extremely irritable for up to a month, attacking anyone they see without distinguishing between friend and foe.
But the duckbill fire beast in front of them didn't attack, and its eyes were normal; it was just that its sausage lips looked a bit lewd when it grinned.
It's a law-abiding Pokémon.
of course.
The main reason is that this is a secret place that has descended upon Cangshan District.
In the future, Li Luochen will definitely come in more often to build good relationships with the local Pokémon. If he makes a big move now, it will be very difficult to build good relationships later.
Pokémon is about human relationships and social interactions, not about fighting and killing.
Li Luochen would never do something that harms others and benefits no one.
"Agas?" (What should we do then?)
Therefore, Leighton became somewhat anxious.
"Let's go over and take a look first. I'll try to communicate with them."
If it were before, Li Luochen would have already used a combination of spreading benevolent waves and giving away tree fruits to get closer to him.
Unfortunately, he left in a hurry this time and didn't bring anything with him, so Li Luochen could only use his waveguide to see if he could borrow a way.
Approaching the Duckbill Flame Beast.
The fat guy raised his arm and aimed the cannon at Li Luochen.
"Garwu." (Danger ahead, proceed with caution.)
The Duckbill Flame Beast attempted to block Li Luochen's advance.
"What happened? We are travelers who have wandered in by mistake. Please let us know if you need any help."
Li Luochen did not approach, but instead used his wave-guided power to relay his meaning to the other party.
Such friendly words rang out.
The duckbill fire beast lowered its arm and carefully observed Li Luochen.
"Gawu." (A powerful and savage Triceratops Pokémon suddenly appeared, not only taking over our territory but also stealing our clan's secret seasoning passed down through generations.)
The duckbill fire beast poured out its grievances to Li Luochen.
Upon hearing this, Li Luochen's eyes lit up, but he quickly calmed down.
The savage Triceratops Pokémon?
Who is it?
Li Luochen searched his mind for the silhouette of the corresponding Pokémon, but he couldn't think of anyone for the time being.
Normally, if you were to summon all the Pokémon that are retired from your own gym to face such a powerful Pokémon, you might be able to steal the secret seasoning.
But now I have nothing, except three Pokémon.
Under these circumstances, you still want to take away the secret seasoning?
I'll think about it then.
You can have anything in your dreams.
"Agas?" (What should we do then?)
So Leton was a little anxious. He had finally managed to regain his strength, but it was taken by another Pokémon.
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry, I'll think of a solution."
