He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 3072: Adventure, Ten Carat Hill!

Ten Carat Hill, also known as Diamond Head Mountain, is located in the southern area of ​​Melemele Island, almost halfway between the town where the Pokémon School is located and Haole City.

It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there is only a small mountain road bordering the land for hiking.

The huge cone-shaped outline seen from the outside is said to be a unique terrain formed by an ancient volcanic eruption.

"It is said that the Ten Carat Hill is home to wild small broken diamonds~ and it is related to diamonds, Loto~!"

Rotom introduced while floating on Ash's shoulder.

"Small diamonds?"

Xiaozhi is very familiar with this Pokémon. It is a Pokémon unique to Kalos. Its entire body is made of diamond ore. Unexpectedly, it also lives in the Alola region.

Generally, the way for locals to land on the Ten-Carat Hill is to start from the sea, ride on megalodon to smash all the surrounding sea reefs at the junction with the sea water, and there is an entrance that leads directly to the heart of the hill.

However, today he had a sudden impulse and did not have any Pokémon that could ride on water, so Xiaozhi simply entered the mountain through the most direct land entrance.

It is approximately located to the south of the Pokémon School. After passing through the small jungle on this side, the Ten Carat Hill appears in front.

However, the only road ahead was blocked by several huge rocks over two meters high, making it impassable.

“Awoof~Awoof!!”

Rock Dog took the lead and immediately jumped in front of the rock, ready to use his "supernatural strength" to push the huge rock away.

Unlike Pidgeot, which is quite resistant to using secret moves, Rock Dog is particularly excited to be used as a "tool dog".

Then it placed its two front limbs on the rock at the same time and began to bar its teeth and exert force.

"Ow!"

After exerting force for a long time, his hind legs had retreated a distance on the ground, but the huge rock in front of him remained motionless.

"It doesn't work. How about I do it instead?"

Xiaozhi suggested.

However, this was the first time that the rock dog was traveling with Xiaozhi, and today he had a strong desire to show off, so he immediately barked to signal for it to come.

The next moment, Yanyan Dog raised its front legs wrapped in white light and punched hard.

"Rock-crushing trick?!"

Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. Do you know this trick?

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen the Rock Dogs battle yet.

Click.!

However, this full-strength rock-breaking punch only broke a crack less than 10 centimeters at the place where the dog's paw touched, and the entire huge rock still showed no signs of collapse.

"Ah Wu."

This also made the rock dog drop its tail suddenly, and it walked to the side and meowed sadly.

"Can't you hide your emotions at all?"

Xiaozhi also laughed dryly. The rock dog's joy, anger, sorrow and happiness were all directly displayed on his face.

"Leave this rock to me~!"

So he bent down and rubbed the rock dog's head, then walked to a rock that was much taller than himself.

I don't know who put the huge rock on this road, so let's move it first!
Xiaozhi placed his hands on the rock, gritted his teeth, and began to push forward.

Originally, Rock Dog didn't know what Xiaozhi was going to do. How could a human push such a huge rock?

Click.!

Until the boulder in front of him actually moved slightly, Rock Dog's eyes widened instantly. Then Xiaozhi increased his strength, and the boulder seemed to have turned into a hollow plastic statue, and was easily pushed back more than two meters away, and the two sides finally staggered to find a way forward.

"Done~!"

Xiaozhi let out a long sigh, his "super strength" is still as good as ever, not inferior to Pidgeot!
Rock Dog: “???”

Its dog brain is no longer functioning.

The rock dog even ran to the huge rock and tried to push it, but it still didn't move.

"Awoof! Awoof!!"

This made it turn around and bark angrily at the boulder.

It suspected that the stone was alive and was obviously targeting it deliberately.

Xiaozhi just smiled casually at the rock dog's innocent and cute behavior, walked around the huge rock blocking the way, and looked forward.

No wonder most people who enter Ten Carat Hill take a detour through the sea entrance.
Even if the huge rock in front is pushed away at this land entrance, the entrance to the cave is still on a slope five or six meters high.

There are no steps or plants, just rugged rocks that you need to climb up to officially enter the cave.

It is very difficult for ordinary people, but it is not a difficult task for Xiaozhi, as he also knows the "rock climbing" trick.

"Let's go!"

With a call, Rock Dog once again took the lead, trotting and jumping up the steep rocky slope.

As a rock-attribute Pokémon, the terrain here is like a fish in water for it.

Xiaozhi also climbed very easily. He found a few stable stepping points and climbed up the five-meter-high hillside in a few steps. The entrance to the cave came into view.

"Let's go, our goal is to capture Alola Geodude!"

"Beep! Leave it to me, I'll do a good job of detecting it, Loto~!"

"Awoof~!"

Rotom and Rockdog were leading the way in front, one above and one below, while Xiaozhi was also looking around at the scene inside the cave.

It is not a dark and narrow cave, it can be said to be a paradise!
From the outside, the Ten-Carat Hill looks like a bare conical volcano, but inside it is a flat and open lawn square, protected by rock walls on all sides.

As soon as Xiaozhi came in, some local wild Pokémon such as Golem and Sarge scattered and hid in the surrounding bushes.

He even saw two little diamonds jumping around.

"There really is such a Pokémon!"

I wonder if there is a diamond mining country underground in Alola?

After taking a quick tour around the interior of the Ten Carat Hill, Xiaozhi didn't see any Pokémon he wanted to capture.

Most of them are cave Pokémon like Zubat and Ichthyophobia, so he has no intention of expanding the team.

This is why there are few people coming to Shikat Hill on weekdays.
First, there are no diamonds, and second, there are no rare Pokémon. It would be better to explore the vast jungle on Route 1.

Of course, the scenery here is still very good.

However, the focus today is to capture Geodude, so Ash calls on Grunt and Rotom to spread out and search.

"Then I'll also use the power of waves!"

Xiaozhi closed his eyes and spread out his wave power, looking for a wave similar to Geodude's.

It is said that Alola's Geodude has electrical properties and is a "magnet" like Chaobei. Xiaozhi is focusing on looking for electrical feedback in the feedback waveguide.

In fact, most of Alola's Geodudes live on Ula'ula Island, where there is a geothermal power plant and a desert area, which is more suitable for the Electric Geodude to live.
Of course, there are some scattered distributions on other islands.
