Pokémon: Trainers start as Bounty Hunters

Chapter 325 The Lost Labyrinth Trainers

The dark cave mentioned by Sutian is a special tunnel located in the eastern suburbs of Kikyo City.

The Dark Cave, as the name suggests, is extremely dark inside, and you can't see your fingers.

"As you know, due to the peculiar terrain of our Chengdu area, the development of the Dark Cave, which was originally intended to be the passageway between Kikyo City and Yanmo City, had to be stopped."

Speaking of this place, Su Tian felt helpless for a while.

The birth and construction of the Dark Cave was actually promoted by Kikyo Gymnasium.

Of course, Yanmo Gymnasium also put in a lot of effort.

After all, this is related to the communication between the two big cities of Chengdu, no matter who it is, it is a matter of benefit and harmlessness.

The better the city where the gymnasium is located, the stronger the heritage of the gymnasium, which in turn can help the city to build better. This is actually a complementary and indispensable relationship.

Furthermore, Kikyo City and Yanmo City are related in many respects, and the people of the two cities also feel that it is quite a good thing to have an extra convenient communication channel.

Before that, if one wanted to go from Kikyo City to Yanmo City, the only official route of the alliance was to take a long detour, otherwise they had to go through the dangerous jungle in the wild.

For most of the people in the alliance, they don't have the ability to choose the latter method, and the former almost cuts off the communication between the two cities, after all, it is too troublesome.

If you have that little time, you might as well go to another city.

You know, the trainer school in Kikyo City is one of the best schools in the whole city, and there are two famous scenic spots: the Tower of Trumpet Buds and the Scenery of the Sea of ​​Trees;

The Yulong family in Yanmo City is even more famous in the whole world. Almost everyone is willing to pursue the powerful dragon elves, and the nickname "Land of Dragons" in the city's capital area is not groundless.

Once the Dark Cave is completed, residents of both cities will be able to enjoy the welfare of the other city to a certain extent.

It is a pity that under the influence of the natural environment in the city area, the construction of the dark cave at the end had to be stopped by the alliance.

The Dark Cave is a north-south tunnel, specifically, moving from the southwest to the northeast of the Johto area.

According to the original assumption and detection, even if you go from low to high, due to the length and distance, the inclination of the entire cave will not be too large.

It turned out that both assumptions and detections were not very realistic.

Zhe also didn't know exactly what went wrong. After all, he was from Kanto and not Chengdu, but he must not be small. Otherwise, in this world where elves exist, there are no engineering problems that elves can't solve.

If not, replace it with a powerful elf.

The underground tunnels connecting many cities in the Kanto region are strong supporters of this theory.

"After so many years, the Dark Cave is actually occasionally visited by people, but there have been some minor problems since last month."

Su Tian scratched his head with a headache.

Tetsu also tilted his head in doubt.

"It's all the fault of those damn earth dragon brothers."

Sutian spat out a sentence that was extremely inconsistent with his appearance and identity.

"Is it the habit of staying motionless in places deep in the cave where light cannot reach? The dark cave is very suitable for the habitat of the earth dragon brother."

The first time he heard Sutian's complaints, Zhe also didn't think about the difficulties that Brother Earth Dragon would bring, but judged the probability of Brother Earth Dragon appearing in the dark cave out of a bounty hunter's intuition.

Indeed, the probability is very high, very reasonable.

"what?"

Then, he subconsciously made an unbelievable sound.

No wonder he was so surprised.

This is how the Earth Dragon Brother is introduced in the Elven Guide - "Earth Dragon Brother, the Earth Snake Pokémon. When people see him, he will dig the ground with his tail and run away with his back turned."

From this introduction, it can be seen that Brother Tulong is indeed a "brother", and the only characteristic worth explaining is that he is timid and runs very fast.

This kind of elf's fighting ability in the wild is extremely weak. Even if they often appear in large groups, it is still a matter of one move for most trainers.

Of course, it is limited to wild elves, and the earth dragon brother in the hands of some trainers is quite powerful.

Although the brother of Tulong has a dragon in his name but only has general attributes and no dragon attributes, this dragon is not a random one.

It is one of the few elves other than dragon elves who can theoretically learn the powerful dragon skill of dragon god dive.

It can only be said that the dragon elves in the elf world are sometimes really the same as the dragons in Tetsuya's previous life legends, in some respects.

"Hey, the danger is another matter. After all, Brother Earth Dragon's destructive power is really limited, but his natural habits are really too annoying."

Hearing what Sutian said, Zheye's eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively, "Because of digging a nest?"

"Yes."

Su Tian nodded viciously.

In addition to being motionless, the wild earth dragon brother can only dig the ground with a drill-like tail and move backwards, and make complex-shaped nests deep underground.

To put it simply, it is similar to the gophers and the three gophers in the Kanto region.

The earth dragon brother does occasionally share his lair passage with both.

It's just that, compared with the two, the lair passageway built by Brother Earth Dragon is smaller and more complicated.

Since it uses the smell of the soil to determine its orientation, the nest it builds is a maze with a wide coverage for outsiders.

The only advantage is that you don't have to worry about the cave suddenly collapsing. At least Brother Earth Dragon is very serious about building the lair, and the gophers, good neighbors and good helpers, will occasionally help to reinforce it with ground energy.

After all, people are short-handed, and sometimes they need to give rewards for borrowing channels.

"Although the Dark Cave was stopped when it was about to be completed, it can actually be regarded as a half-finished state.

As long as you go to the final high point and climb up, you can actually reach Yanmo City directly, which saves a lot of time compared to land.

In this case, even though the Dark Cave is considered abandoned by us, there are still many people who take a shortcut to Yanmo City through the Dark Cave every year.

It's just that due to the darkness inside and the recent appearance of Brother Tulong, the road inside the dark cave has become extremely complicated.

In the past month, many relatives of missing trainers have reported that their family members got lost in the dark cave. "

Su Tian gave an overview of the problems that Dark Cave is facing now.

Zhe also quickly understood what he meant.

"Do you want me to go in and rescue them?" Tetsuya asked.

He thinks this task is not too difficult.

Su Tian nodded slowly: "In the dark cave, if it is not a trainer with super perceptual ability, even if there is sufficient light, it is impossible to come out."

This is one of the reasons why so many trainers get stuck inside.

"I get it roughly, I think I can..."

"Listen to me first."

Su Tian interrupted Tetsuya who was about to take over the task with a serious face.

"This task is still dangerous."

"Dangerous?" Zhe also expressed his incomprehension.

Su Tian nodded: "Of course I know that your genre is powerful in terms of perception, which is why I asked you to help me with this favor, and most of your elves are very suitable for underground battles. Department-based trainers are more or less unable to perform underground."

As Ah Si's old friend, he has a deep understanding of the first reason.

In comparison, the second point seems a bit insignificant.

In this case, where did the danger Sutian mentioned come from?
"Do you know why the Dark Cave was abandoned?"

Su Tian suddenly changed the topic.

"do not know."

Zhe also shook his head honestly.

"The terrain is only one aspect of the external declaration, and the main reason is that the dark cave will flood into it."

Sutian very straightforwardly revealed a secret that most people do not know.

Floods, Tetsu also has a good understanding of this, after all, he has only experienced it not long ago.

It's just that he feels that there is water everywhere in the city.

"It's strange, isn't it, why does it feel like the city is flooding everywhere?"

Of course, Sutian also knew about the sudden flood that Zhe also encountered in the Heracross Forest not long ago. At that time, Kikyo City was the main object of asking for help.

If Liu Bo, who was more suitable to deal with the flood, hadn't passed by when he was free, then he should have appeared in front of Tetsuya at that time.

"The source of the flood here is quite clear, and that is the fluctuation of the tide."

Su Tian sighed and said helplessly.

"But isn't Kikyo City quite a distance from the ocean?" Zhe also raised his own doubts.

In this case, the fluctuation of the sea tide can also affect the underground tunnels around Kikyo City.

"This thing is very complicated. Anyway, the conclusions drawn from various aspects are like this, and the sea of ​​trees in Kikyo City benefits from its products."

In this regard, Su Tian, ​​who is only a trainer, said that he did not understand it very well, and he is not a professional in geography. It would be good to know at most a conclusion in this regard.

"In short, thanks to the clarity of the source, the time of this influx of flood is traceable, it is almost from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am and from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, which is why the fixed time of Kikyo Road The reason why the museum will block the entrance to the Dark Cave."

Seeing that Tetsuya still wanted to ask more questions, Sutian hurriedly stopped him by changing the subject.

Zhe also thought about it, since the flood in the dark cave in Kikyo City was related to the tide, could the Heracross Forest, which is closer to the ocean, also be a factor of the tide.

But it's not like, the flood over there is not regular at all, it's big if it's big, and it's small if it's small.

"What if it's someone from Yanmo City?"

Putting aside the problems in his mind, Tetsuya focused his attention on the task in front of him.

No matter what, making money is the first priority.

"Similarly, the Yanmo Gymnasium will send people to block it at a fixed time." Su Tian said as a matter of course.

The construction of the capital in the Dark Cave is almost complete, so it is not justified to use it at all, after all, it is really convenient.

It's just that it is different from what I imagined at the beginning, the use time of this channel has great restrictions and uncertainties.

The most important thing is that no one knows if the tide will suddenly stop talking to you, and it will not be fun if something happens.

For example, the lair maze of the earth dragon brother this time is enough to make people feel dizzy, not to mention natural disasters.

Maybe some people think that those who are lost in it can be ignored. After all, the official said that the dark cave is an abandoned passage and does not support it.

But, that's what a city's gym is supposed to do.

For whatever reason, it must do what it is supposed to do, regardless of whether those people are alive or dead.

If this is not the case, then people in each city will not have a heartfelt pride in the gymnasium in their hometown.

This is the sense of security that generations of protection have brought to people.

No matter how you say it, the Dark Cave belongs to the two cities rather than the wilderness. Once someone encounters danger inside, the gymnasium still needs to rescue them.

"It's 01:30 in the afternoon. You can enter immediately after the tide in the evening has passed. My biggest worry is that you won't be able to quickly find the trainers who died and you won't be able to withdraw smoothly before three o'clock tomorrow morning."

Since he and Ah Si are close friends who have died, Su Tian can be regarded as Tetsuya's elder if he rounds it up. Coupled with several meetings and Tetsuya's help just now, he looks at the problem with a little bit of personal emotion.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't be bothered to care about the other party's safety, it would be great if he gave the other party a task.

As for withdrawing halfway and continuing to search tomorrow, it may be too late in time, and the repetition rate of the search area will be greatly increased.

Because of the environment inside the dark cave, Sutian searched for a long time but could not find a trainer who was willing to take on this rescue mission. At this time, it has been quite a long time since the first trainer who reported the distress information was trapped.

If Tetsuya's rescue is delayed any longer, then the only hope of survival for that group of people is probably really gone.

It's not that Su Tian doesn't want to go down to find it himself, but that as the gym master and guardian of Kikyo City, this kind of thing is not enough for him to go out.

It would be a tragedy if something bigger happened while he was going down.

This is also stipulated by the league.

And his performance in the cave may not be much better than Zhe Ye.

"No problem, leave it to me."

In this regard, Zhe also showed considerable confidence.

"The task reward is probably."

Seeing this, Sutian didn't say much. This is the choice of each trainer. Instead, he started talking to Tetsuya about the reward for the mission.

"Okay, if there are no other questions, I'll go get ready first."

Not long after, the two who had reached a consensus looked at each other and smiled, and Zhe took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Su Tian nodded.

Looking at the back of Tetsuya leaving, he sighed slightly.

"I hope the food reserved by that group of people is enough to last until now, and I hope they can find a place to escape the flood."

Sutian doesn't expect Zheye to bring everyone back alive, but even if there are only one or two, it's a good thing.

"Hey, Xiaochun, it's me, Sutian"

He turned around, walked into the gymnasium and dialed the phone.
