So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 219 Going to the Mine

Wei Xin hung up the phone, and Wan Long revealed a meaningful smile. He leaned close to Wei Xin and nudged him with his elbow: "Is the girl on the phone the one who came with you when you first came to the publishing house? Not bad, young man, you've snagged the little starlet from Galar."

She could already imagine the shouting team and Nie Zi regretting their actions to the point of beating their chests in despair when they found out.

"Stop arguing." Wei Xin pushed open the door. "Pap, is everything ready?"

"All set!" Piper patted his backpack, which contained food, water, and tools. He had checked it three times to make sure everything was in order.

"Alright, let's go."

The three stood in front of the mine entrance. The dark entrance looked like a huge mouth, and the railway tracks beneath their feet were its protruding tongue. The wind blowing out from time to time carried a strange smell.

"Speaking of which, what if we get lost in there? Maybe we should find a guide or catch a Pokémon," Wanlong suggested.

“There’s no need,” Piper said. “Leave the search to Weixin.”

As he spoke, Wei Xin placed his hand on the wall, first deactivated the waveguide that enveloped him within a three-meter radius, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and the next second, the waveguide exploded, a surge of energy surging through his body, ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, from the sphere surrounding his body toward the one-way cylinder, and after finding its direction, it quickly spread along the wall of the mine, moving forward in search of the human presence within the mine.

Wanlong blinked in surprise: "This is... the power of wave guidance? He can even do this?"

A little over a month ago, when she met Wei Xin, he clearly couldn't even grasp the power of intuition. Now, he can actually use the power of waveguides skillfully to explore the environment.

His talent in superpowers is terrifyingly extraordinary.

They even subtly moved closer to Natsume and Gadriya.

Wei Xin's waveguide moved through the mine, the entire mine was as bright as day in his eyes, and the life in the mine was fully revealed to him.

First, in the shallow areas, Pokémon have been driven away, and resources have been almost completely searched out; there's nothing left.

As you move forward, large and small pits appear on the rock face, spreading like tree branches. Some are short and empty, while others connect to other caves, forming an underground network resembling a dense forest.

Further on, some Pokémon appeared: Acrodora, which moved through the rock walls; Tyranitar, no, a Mega Tyranitar, which lingered at the fork in the cave, waiting, foraging, and occasionally roaring, tearing off one side of the rock wall.

Wei Xin looked puzzled. How could a Pokémon of this level appear in the shallow part of the mine?

Moreover, their waveguides are very unstable, and it seems that something else is mixed into their bodies. They are in pain and angry, and eager to release it.

Is it a reinforced ball, the work of Spinner?

Subsequently, Wei Xin found the waveguides belonging to humans, one mature and steady but somewhat old, and the other somewhat naive, chasing a dragon-headed ground squirrel in the cave.

Grandfather and grandson?

They are all relatively upright waveguides.

The Pokémon used are Dusknoir and Blastoise.

Azure Flame Blade Demon used the Regret Sword to strike the Dragon Head Ground Rat, with outstanding effect.

The dragon-headed mole fell down and was subdued, and the two stopped to rest for a while.

Wei Xin's waveguide technology will not linger.

The number and variety of Pokémon increased after that, and most of them were extremely dangerous. Aggron and Bisharp led a large number of Piketo minions, their movements were very uniform—hiss—could there be a Bokuto General as well? Wei Xin couldn't find it, and there was even a Blacksmith secretly following behind.

Is this a planned sneak attack?

The skilled blacksmith jumped out and swung his hammer.

clang.

Commander Pi Zhan was attacked, but only staggered forward two steps and turned his head in confusion.

Upon seeing the skilled blacksmith hiding the hammer behind his back, the commander, enraged, gave an order and the young generals rushed forward. The skilled blacksmith was severely beaten and managed to escape, but the hammer was taken away by the commander. After running away, he huddled in a corner, hugging his knees and sobbing.

Subsequently, Wei Xin's waveguide expansion approached its limit, but in the end, he found his target: an injured Lucario, Gengar, and a girl, resting in a rocky cave, with Pokémon wandering around them.

Wei Xin retracted the waveguide and cast his gaze toward the child's location in the darkness.

"Found it, let's go!"

"So we really have to go in?" Wanlong sighed as she accompanied Weixin and Papa into the mine.

At first, the road was very easy. Although the collapse of the mine caused the small lights hanging on the walls to stop working, the mine was very spacious, and there was no problem for elementary school students to line up in groups for a field trip.

But then the path began to narrow, and the cave was dark, though not quite pitch black.

"Pippa, turn on the flashlight."

"Okay, Wei Xin, do you want it?"

"No need, I have a waveguide."

Click!

The switch was turned on, and a blinding white light appeared in the cave, seemingly disturbing some being in the mine. The walls trembled slightly from time to time, and black ash fell from above.

Occasionally, small creatures would emerge from the cracks in the wall and rush towards Wei Xin, who was at the front of the group. With the help of the waveguide, Wei Xin tilted his head and dodged them precisely.

But Piper behind him was in trouble. He was holding a flashlight that attracted the attention of phototactic insects. Before he knew it, an unknown insect flapping its wings appeared in his line of sight and suddenly appeared in his face.

"Padya swears!" Padpa was startled and bumped into the wall on the other side, but he didn't hit his head. Instead, he heard a cracking sound, and the wooden planks on the wall broke and fell to the ground, scattering coal dust.

"Is this... a fork in the road?" Wanlong asked.

"To be precise, it's a dead end. Many Pokémon in the mine have the habit of digging, so strange paths often appear in the mine. They may end up as just a wall, they may lead to other caves, or they may be—hunters lying in wait."

"You know quite a lot. You're not a miner like Daigo, are you?" Wanlong teased casually.

"No, I just learned a little something from Daigo when I was in Hoenn," Wei Xin said, since the materials provided by the system were textbooks written by Daigo.

Piper shone his flashlight at the wall at the fork in the road, only to see large patches of red on the grayish-brown wall: a chill ran down his spine: "Could that be human blood?"

"Oh, no," Wei Xin said, "it's just rusted metal."

Piper breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, Pokémon will appear on the next section of the trail, everyone get ready." Wei Xinsheng instructed, then took out a Poké Ball, which flashed red, and Mimikyu stood on his shoulder, with a pink Fairy-type Z-Crystal embedded in its bracelet.

As soon as Wei Xin finished speaking, heavy breathing could be heard from the end of the tunnel.

With the Mastiff Godfather unable to participate in the battle, Pipa could only hold a manuscript in one hand and a hammer in the other. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if something had stolen his body heat. In terror, Pipa stiffly turned his head.

It was Wanlong. She opened the Poké Ball and released Coffin. A three-meter-tall golden coffin appeared behind her. From the cold cracks, dozens of huge black hands stretched out from behind her and pressed against the surrounding walls.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Having a ghost-like teammate in this eerie environment with no visibility is really mind-numbing.

Immediately, he felt his arm suddenly sink, and Papa's body trembled. He then realized it was Wei Xin, and reached out to press down on his flashlight.

"You're not coming too?" Pipa clutched her chest, feeling her heart pounding. She opened her mouth, about to speak, when Wei Xin's other hand covered her mouth as well.

"Shh!"

The light in the mine disappeared, along with the sound of the three people breathing.

In the darkness, shadows flickered, and dust fell.

A thick, short hand pressed against the wall, gripping it tightly and crushing its edge. A head emerged from the corner, its eyes bloodshot, and following the scent, discovered the three people hiding in the darkness.

When Pipa's gaze met Scarlet's, filled with malice, her heart pounded like thunder.

The first encounter in the mine was with a Mega Tyranitar corrupted by a Power-Up Ball.
