Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

Chapter 119 Cave

Two dark blue mountain peaks shrouded in dark clouds stood out on both sides, and in the center was a boulder field.

There were sparse patches of light green short grass growing on the grayish-yellow mud, and a faint green tint was applied to the junction between the wilderness and the grassy area. At first glance, most of the wilderness was still rock and land.

The farther you go, the more desolate the wilderness becomes. Further north, there are sandy depressions that are almost desert-like.

Tents were scattered on the lawn, and many bonfires had just been extinguished, still emitting flickering black smoke. Many Pokémon sat quietly outside the tents, monitoring and protecting the safety of the trainers inside.

This is the edge of the boulder field, and it is also a small gathering place. At the easternmost end, there is also a store officially opened by the alliance.

The blue jay singing in the air quickly attracted the attention of many Pokémon, but the blue jay had no intention of falling. It glided across the sky very quickly and headed deep into the boulder field.

Wang Jin glanced through these tents and didn't want to join these trainees.

Although living in a human settlement can avoid the intrusion of wild Pokémon to the greatest extent, Wang Jin is not afraid of those wild Pokémon. On the contrary, he is more annoyed by those wilderness trainers.

On this cloudy day when it was about to rain, a strange face suddenly showed up. You could never be sure if someone would be so blind as to test you.

If I accidentally kill a few more people, I won’t be able to sleep well even if it rains heavily.

"Ding--"

Wang Jin took out a communication device in the air, and a map of the entire northern wilderness was clearly displayed in the barrier, along with markings of various Pokémon gathering places and their strengths.

There is a schist cave on the west side of the boulder field, where rock-attribute Pokémon such as mantle rocks live. Most of these rock-attribute Pokémon are gentle in nature, and as long as you don't deliberately provoke them, it's no problem to take shelter at the edge of the cave.

"Boom——"

There was another shocking thunder in the sky, and pale white distorted lightning flashed intermittently in the dark blue sky.

The blue jay felt some moisture on its feathers, so it flapped its wings with all its might and slid down into the dim cave on the west side.

Wang Jin jumped down when he was still four or five meters above the ground, leaped to the edge of the cave in two steps, and breathed lightly. The blue jay followed closely and flew into the cave, shaking off the rain on its feathers before flying to Wang Jin's shoulder to rest.

The drizzle outside was falling vertically like needles and threads, and two thunders suddenly sounded in the dark clouds. After a flash of white light, in a very short time, the needle-like drizzle turned into bean-sized particles, falling desperately.

Such heavy rain stirred up white waves on the ground outside the cave. Wang Jin also walked several steps into the cave to avoid the splashing raindrops outside.

Looking into the cave again, it was extremely dark. I could only use the remaining dark blue light from outside to barely see the outermost rock wall of the cave, which was more than one meter away.

Fortunately, the cave is very spacious, about three meters high and four meters wide, so there is no need to worry about crowding.

Wang Jin took two more steps inside, and his eyes seemed to gradually brighten. He could actually see through the darkness and see the structure inside bit by bit.

'It seems that in addition to the detection ability, it also has some night vision ability, which is better than nothing...'

As Wang Jin was thinking, he saw two caves about seven or eight meters deep. There was a Pokémon at each entrance of the two caves.

The one on the left is mantle rock, and the one on the right is turtle foot.

The body of the mantle rock is mainly composed of a large piece of dark blue rock, and there are three small pieces of dark blue rock as arms beside and behind the main body. In this dim situation, if you don't look closely, you might think it's just a big rock.

The tortoise's foot looks like a claw. Two tortoises will find a rock of suitable size and live together on it.

So Pokémon like Turtle Legs look very strange, and Wang Jin has never understood what the guy who designed this Pokémon was thinking.

"From what I can see, there are two groups of rock Pokémon..."

Wang Jin carefully observed other places and confirmed that there were no other Pokémon, then released Haunter, Growlithe, and Sonic Larva.

There was a large open space between the cave entrance and the forked cave, which served as his temporary camp.

"Wang Wu?"

As soon as Cati came out, he ran to the entrance of the cave and looked at the heavy rain in front of him in surprise.

The Ultrasonic Larva slowly walked behind Growlithe, and when it saw the heavy rain ahead, it showed a subconscious fear in its eyes. Such rain was what the ground-type Pokémon feared the most, as it would not only engulf the underground nests, but also drown many of its members.

"Hiss~"

Haunter was not afraid at all. He rushed into the rainstorm, with his paws on his waist and his smoky tail twisting.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

It called out with a smile, inviting the curious but timid Katie to come out and play with it.

Haunter's ghost body can perfectly avoid rain, so it is not afraid of getting wet at all.

Just as Caterpie was about to take a step out, he was hit by the raindrops splashing into the cave. The cold feeling made him shudder all over, and the reminder buried in his genes made Caterpie turn his head back to Wang Jin and curl up.

"Woo woo..."

Cati buried its head in Wang Jin's legs, looking at the heavy rain outside with aggrieved eyes.

"Da Er..."

The ultrasonic larva also walked over quickly and crawled on the ground next to the Caterpie.

"Oh, this Haunter." Wang Jin had no choice but to grab two dog heads, half squatted down, and took out two small white cubes from his backpack.

This is a must-have quick-start fire material developed by the group, which saves trainers from the trouble of finding small branches. Just roast it lightly with fire, and it will expand to the size of a basketball. After many experiments and improvements, the burning power is medium, but the duration is extremely long, and it can burn for up to five hours.

It is really a must-have product for outdoor travel, cheap and easy to use.

"Pokémon's black technology is awesome."

Wang Jin muttered to himself and couldn't help laughing. He patted the back of the Caterpie, causing it to spit two sparks onto the white block in front of it.

I saw the cube in front of me swelling up rapidly, and bubbles seemed to be continuously produced inside, and it soon turned into a rugged sphere.

Wang Jin stopped the sparks of Caterpillar, then picked up the foam ball with both hands and tore it into pieces. He gathered the white pieces together and asked the ultrasonic larvae to make a simple stove with mud. Caterpillar blew a few flames and the bonfire lit up.

A bright warm yellow light spread from the red flames. Even Dragonite came out from the shadows with Dragonmessia and gathered around the campfire with a group of Pokémon.

The mantle rock and turtle feet at the forked cave entrance not far away also opened their eyes at the same time. After looking at each other, they continued to close their eyes and rest tacitly.

As long as the person or Pokémon in front of them does not attack or invade, they will not move.
