Dual-career Pokémon trainer

"Hmm...should I say it's good luck or bad luck?"

Inside the cave, Lin Jing had a strange expression on his face as he looked at some of the gadgets they had collected.

Golden beads, star sand, and hard stones that increase the power of rock-type moves.

They are all miscellaneous stuff, but compared with the others, I really don’t know how lucky they are.

“Of course it’s good.

This is the first time I have found Jinzhu."

Lukia was holding a small golden object in her hand and kept looking at it.

"I'm more curious about why I can find gold beads here..."

Lin Jing had a puzzled look on his face.

Although round things like gold beads are sometimes picked up, these little things are not formed naturally.

As we all know, some ground, rock, and steel-type Pokémon may need to chew on soil, rocks, mineral veins, etc. in order to grow due to their habits or needs.

However, the contents of these things are also quite diverse.

For example, gold is of no use to Pokémon.

When enough of these substances accumulate in the body, Pokémon will excrete them.

During this time, it may be picked up by other Pokémon that like Shining, or it may be picked up by humans.

And the thing that is discharged is naturally the golden beads in front of you.

Of course, objects such as hard stones and black iron balls are almost the same.

But this brings up a big problem.

The only rock-type Pokémon in Meteor Falls are Sun Rock and Moon Rock, and they don't eat rocks...

"Oh - never mind.

Isn’t it good enough that we can collect these things anyway?”

Lukia had no intention of digging into the matter, but just waved her hand casually and looked at the golden glitter in front of her.

“Because I’m still very curious.

There might be some Pokémon here that outsiders don’t know about.”

Although he said so, Lin Jing also gave up the idea of ​​getting to the bottom of the matter.

After all, it is not impossible that there are Geodude and Onix that are not afraid of water.

Anyway, I'm just here to mine for fun.

"Missi Missi~ (Jing, I found another one~)"

Lin Jing gave up his plan, and the small diamond bulging in the rock suddenly jumped over excitedly.

Several orange-red stones overhead were sparkling in the flames.

"Hey, isn't this the stone on my bracelet?

It turns out that it was also dug here.

But this is of no use to us.”

“That’s not the way it should be.

This thing was very important in the past.

You've worked really hard today, little diamond."

After rubbing the little diamond's head and wiping its dirty body, Lin Jing took the pieces of jade with a smile.

That’s right, it’s jade.

Although people today probably don’t understand it clearly, this orange-red color has a slightly reflective luster.

When Lin Jing saw Lucia's bracelet before, she didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it is much more obvious after zooming in.

Isn't this the jade used to make those old-style Pokeballs in ancient times?

Of course, with the passage of time, the ancient method of making Poké Balls seems to have been lost.

This jade, which was originally used to make Poké Balls, has now become one of many ordinary mineral veins and can only be used to make some decorations or ornaments.

boom---

Just as he was about to say something else, a loud shattering sound suddenly echoed in the cave.

Frightened, Lin Jing quickly asked the small diamonds to set up defenses to prevent them all from being buried.

"Riolu, come back soon!"

That’s right, in addition to the small diamonds, Riolu was also released by Lin Jing to help with mining.

After all, it is a very good choice for this little guy who controls the broken rocks to dig things here.

but...

"Leo Leo... (Um...actually I did it...)"

Riolu's somewhat awkward voice was heard amid the flickering flames.

"You...are you okay? Were you hit?"

Lin Jing's eyes twitched slightly.

He was really nearly killed by the rain just now. If a place like this really collapsed, I'm afraid everyone would be killed.

After all, none of the little ones at home have learned how to dig holes yet.

By the way, now that it’s time to put digging techniques on the agenda.

I had thought that Orochi and Arcanine wouldn't get lost even in the cave, but now it seems that there are still other dangers in such places.

And Riolu quickly waved his hands.

“Leo Leo. (It’s okay, it’s okay. I didn’t expect this rock wall to be so fragile. I can just punch through it.)”

"Smash through?!!!"

Lin Jing widened her eyes.

"Leo Leo. (Don't worry, I feel the cave won't collapse after this one.)"

Guessing someone's thoughts, Riolu quickly added.

"Okay... I don't know whether to say you are lucky or you are very strong."

Lin Jing was also a little ashamed.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened.

“You have to be more careful in a place like this.

But for a Riolu, your strength is pretty good."

"Leo! (Who!)"

Riolu immediately pricked up his ears at the sudden strange sound in the cave.

The waveguide was released slightly, and the source of the sound was instantly detected.

It was exactly the cave that he had just broken.

I didn't pay much attention when I was digging just now, and because of the sudden noise, it went straight to the quiet place.

No one noticed that there were humans behind the broken rock wall.

And... this guy has a fierce and ferocious force beside him, which makes Riolu feel terrifying.

That was a strength that surpassed the strongest of his predecessors.

Swipe~

A familiar hand gently rubbed the hair that was about to explode, as if trying to comfort the stressed puppy.

The Sylveon that was originally in his arms had already jumped to Riolu's side, and even took a step forward.

The figure in the darkness and the faint yellow light next to him seemed to be even brighter.

This also allowed Lin Jing and the others to see each other clearly.

Under the dirty mining clothes, he has a handsome face that cannot be concealed even with the dirt.

Around it, several yellow lights are providing light source.

With the light it emits, one can clearly see its green body and the six long tentacles extending from what should be its neck.

And Lucia squinted her eyes and looked at him carefully, then her pupils dilated slightly.

"You are...Mr. Daigo?!"
