He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 3102 The Test of the Shady Jungle 1: Looking for Ingredients!

In the afternoon, Xiaozhi and his two friends set out for the Shady Jungle.

It is located on the east side of the Chanchan Hill, with only one entrance and exit on the south side. The edges are surrounded by mountains, making it more like a closed valley.

The entrance is a huge hollow tree hole, covered by vines hanging down. If you don’t follow the map, it’s really hard to find the destination.

"This is it!"

Peeling off the vines, Mao took a deep breath with a smile on his face.

  She could smell the rich scent of grass and trees inside, and there was also a sense of dampness blowing towards her?

The three of them passed through the tree hole and officially entered the shaded jungle.

What catches the eye are huge trees with tangled roots and countless tiny roots attached to the surface of the trunks, extending randomly in all directions.

The ground looked wet, with weeds and shrubs growing on it, and the stones were mostly covered with moss.

Some tree trunks have strange-shaped mushrooms growing on them.

"Beep! Shady Jungle, this is a lush tropical rainforest. It is said that you can also pick the rare tree fruit ingredient Loto here~!"

Rotom floated in front and introduced.

Forest + ingredients, these two keywords combined together made the cook Mao fall in love with this place at once!

"Is there really no sunshine?"

Shui Lian raised her hand and looked at the sky.

The sky above the tree-shaded jungle is blocked by dense leaves, and sunlight can hardly penetrate, so all the scenes in the forest seem to be covered by a light green filter.

The trees grow randomly without any regular growth pattern, which also makes the space for activities inside different on the left and right.

Sometimes it is a wide expanse of grass, and sometimes it is a narrow passage sandwiched between giant trees.

"So what about the dominant Pokémon?"

The three of them walked more than ten meters away, looking around for their target, which actually alarmed some local wild Pokémon.

Due to the dark environment and the humid tropical jungle, there are not many tourists in the Green Shade Jungle on weekdays.

Most tourists choose the beautiful Chanchan Hill or the hot Wela Volcano Park.

“Lan~!!”

At this time, a loud cry came from one side of the jungle, carrying a considerable sense of pressure.

Then a huge figure rushed out of the jungle and leaped onto a big rock in front of everyone.

"This is.?!"

Xiaozhi looked closely and found that it was a pink humanoid Pokémon.

It has a huge body of nearly three meters, a pink and white head, and pink forearms hanging down, which look a bit like a sickle and a bit like loose sleeves.

The lower body and feet seemed to be wearing pink and white striped long johns.

"Plants? Or insects?!"

Shui Lian held her breath, concentrated, and recited silently.

This Pokémon raises its arms in front of its mouth, just like a human female covering her mouth. It is a Pokémon with quite feminine characteristics.

"It's the Orchid Mantis Flower. No, it's the Overlord Orchid Mantis Flower!"

Mao shouted the answer in a deep voice, his expression instantly becoming serious.

  Rotom also quickly issued a warning:

"Beep! Blue Mantis, a grass-type Pokémon, is the evolved form of Pseudo Mantis. It often disguises itself as a bug Pokémon to protect itself. It can emit beams of light from its sickle-shaped petal arms. They are very sharp. Loto~!"

The size of this orchid mantis is much larger than that of an ordinary orchid mantis, and it gives off a very oppressive feeling. It is obviously the overlord of the shade jungle.

However, this dominant Pokémon did not start fighting right away. Instead, it covered its mouth and looked at everyone with its pink eyes, behaving like an elegant dancer.

It seemed like he was asking everyone what they were doing here.

The IQ of the Overlord Pokémon is far beyond that of ordinary Pokémon, and they can communicate freely.

"Oh! My name is Mao, and I'm here to challenge the island tour test! These two are my friends!"

Encouraged by Xiaozhi Shuilian's eyes, Mao hurriedly walked up and said seriously.

"Lan~" The Overlord Lan Mantis nodded slightly, and did not launch an attack directly afterwards.

The sickle-shaped petal arm flipped over and took out three cards with three different ingredients drawn on them.

"Beep! Is this the first test of the Shady Jungle? Looking for the designated ingredient, Loto?"

Seeing that the opponent was not aggressive, Rotom also flew closer to observe and took photos of the patterns on the three cards.

They are mango, sweet mango, and big rhizome.

Generally, the challenges of the island tour are divided into two parts, and the first part of most challenges is to find the dominant Pokémon.

This time, the overlord Lan Mantis showed up on his own initiative, so the test turned into another one?

"I see!"

  Mao nodded seriously. Finding food in the jungle was her strong point!

When she had nothing to do, she would go into the jungle behind the school to see if there were any ingredients that could add new flavors to her cafeteria.

"Mr. Rotom, please help me~!"

"Leave it to me Lotto!"

So the two of them immediately teamed up and began to go deep into the shade of the jungle and search everywhere.

The dominant orchid mantis closed its eyes and rested on the stone, waiting quietly.

Xiaozhi and Shuilian looked at each other and started to act separately.

As a spectator, Shui Lian sat obediently on the stone next to the overlord Lan Tanghua.

"By the way, why doesn't it have the aura of a dominant power?"

Shui Lian muttered secretly in her heart.

On the other side, Xiaozhi was not polite either. He took out his riding device and sent out his Entei.

Overlord Lan Mantis: “?”

In an instant, it felt an extremely dangerous aura.

The fire contained in the body of the volcanic lion in front of us is enough to completely burn through the jungle!

It narrowed its eyes and looked alert, curious about what the human boy was going to do.

Then Xiaozhi was seen sitting astride the back of Entei, who lowered his head, sniffed lightly, and walked around, stopping and starting.

Overlord Lan Mantis: “???”

  It had seen this scene before, but the people at that time were riding long-haired dogs, right?

Now it has turned into this dangerous and powerful volcano lion? !

However, the Overlord Orchid did not stop Xiaozhi from treasure hunting.

Its test items are all some food and plants on the surface, while treasure hunting is about digging holes to find things underground, so there is no conflict.

The Overlord Lan Mantis had seen humans come in to hunt for treasure before, but the biggest gain was just a Leaf Stone, which was not a big deal.

  So the scene in the shaded jungle turned into a scene where Water Lily and Orchid Mantis were sitting and waiting, while Xiaozhi and Maou were searching around in the jungle.

“Mang mango, mango.!”

Mao was looking up at the trees high up.

Mango usually grows on trees, and its main body is pink and curved.

"Fortunately, the assessment is not about finding treasures."

Mao caught a glimpse of Xiaozhi immersed in treasure hunting not far away, and couldn't help but sigh.

Otherwise she would have to borrow Entei from Xiaozhi.

"Found it, mango!"

In less than three minutes, Mao successfully found a mango on a tree.

This fruit looks a bit like Slowpoke's tail, and it's easy to identify when it's hanging on the tree.

"Sleepy mushroom, vine whip!"

Then Mao raised his hand and pointed, and the Sleeping Mushroom beside him stretched out its vine, picked a round mango, and put it into the bag of materials that Mao usually used.
