Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Sorry, I made you laugh."

Uncle Xin Zhao put away the phone with a slightly sad look on his face and said to Wang Yao.

"It's nothing. Managing a luxury hotel is definitely not an easy task."

Wang Yao shrugged, not thinking it was shameful.

"You said before that I can only stay in the ruins for a week, right? Now it seems that I don't have much time left."

Uncle Xin Zhao suddenly mentioned the one-week deadline that had been discussed earlier.

"Yes what's the matter?"

Wang Yao asked.

"The Charlie I talked about before... is an old friend who worked with me. He has a good business sense, but unfortunately his health has always been poor. I didn't expect him to suddenly fall ill a while ago..."

"It seems I have to hurry up and find the treasure in the next few days, and then rush back to Feiyun City to take a look."

Uncle Nobuaki explained.

"And things seem to be a bit unsettled on the streets lately...some strange guys have popped up..."

Uncle Xin Zhao muttered again.

"That's it..."

Wang Yao thought about it and said again.

"But I think we should be able to dig up some clues in the next two days. It shouldn't be difficult to find the entrance to the ruins."

"I just don't know if the treasure you are looking forward to still exists..."

Wang Yao didn't have much hope for this in the first place, and he went with the other party just to find something to kill time before Shizuka arrived.

"Don't worry about that... I have my own way to find the treasure!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Zhao made a guarantee with full confidence.

"Are you so confident?"

Although Wang Yao was somewhat puzzled, he did not ask any further questions.

Those complicated things can be left to the other party to handle.

He is only responsible for 'security' issues during this period.

After all, punching monsters is easier than using your brain to solve puzzles...

……

After a delicious lunch, the Pokémon worked harder on their afternoon digging.

Because the search area was not very large, and several Pokémon acted separately, each responsible for a small area, good news came from underground before the sun set.

"Ah~" (The voice of the Japanese version of the dragon hamster in Pokémon Super Wish Episode 33, "Dragon Destroyer Appears! Alice and the Dragon Hamster!!")

The dragon-headed mole dug underground at an astonishing speed and was the first to discover clues to the ruins.

With the help of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Arbok, several half-meter-high and thick stone bricks were transported back from underground.

"This is……"

Uncle Xin Zhao took a brush and a magnifying glass to analyze the texture on the surface of the stone bricks.

"That's right! This is the stone brick at the original entrance. It also records some information about ancient sacrificial activities."

"Quick - keep digging in the direction where the bricks are scattered! The treasure is already waving to us!"

Uncle Xin Zhao's tone was filled with suppressed excitement.

"You guys go and help too."

Wang Yao also sent out the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex and the others to set off together.

As bricks and stones were rediscovered from the ground, an underground tunnel leading to the entrance of the ruins was gradually opened deep into the mountains.

"Almost done, let's go down and take a look."

The entrance to the ruins has begun to take shape, and the two are ready to embark on an underground adventure.

"Here, put it on to see clearly."

Xin Zhao took out two pairs of night vision goggles from somewhere, and they looked like high-end stuff.

“Pretty professional, huh?”

Wang Yao thought the other party would take out two old-fashioned miner's hats with light bulbs.

Wang Yao took the night vision goggles and took a look. It seemed to be better than the equipment of the Rocket Team's combat team.

The size and weight have been optimized a lot, but I don’t know how the battery life will perform.

"Don't underestimate the mountaineering uncle, boy!"

Uncle Xin Zhao put on the night vision goggles with some pride. After turning them on, a green picture appeared in front of him.

"It's really a fun thing, but I don't need it - stupid!"

Wang Yao snapped his fingers.

"Yeah~dong~"

Daidai brought the snail shell back, and a light shone through the snail shell, illuminating the entire camp.

"Ah! What's going on?!"

The sudden light turned the night vision goggles' image into a glare.

Uncle Xin Zhao raised his arms, slightly covering his eyes, and then quickly took off the night vision goggles on his head.

"Flash Technique, this trick is very practical, right?"

Wang Yao put his hands on his chest and walked slowly into the tunnel with Daidai.

"Really...how come you, a Slowking, have so many weird skills?"

Uncle Xin Zhao smiled and shook his head, then dropped the night vision goggles and followed him into the underground.

The surface of the tunnel was covered with traces of sharp claws and drill horns.

Although the dragon-headed gopher digs very quickly, it is not very big and can only crawl forward through the tunnels it digs.

Fortunately, the initial section of the underground passage was opened up with the help of the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex, so it was difficult to touch the top of the cave even if you raised your arms.

The surface of the cave, compacted by its thick tail and footsteps, is as solid as a concrete road.

However, at the further back, with the tonnage of the Tyrannosaurus Rex going deep into it, it would easily cause a landslide, so the "tunnel widening project" here was completed by Arbok and the Giant Claw Crab together.

Although you still need to bend down a bit, fortunately it is not far from the real entrance to the ruins.

at last……

After a "bright" underground journey, a stone wall appeared in front of the two.

"It seems that we have dug a little off the track... This should be the outer wall of the passage leading to the inner stone chamber."

Uncle Xin Zhao judged while stroking the stone wall.

"It doesn't matter--just dig it through."

Wang Yao was very optimistic. Compared to a week-long excavation plan, he felt that finding the entrance to the treasure on the first day was already very efficient.

"It's not that simple. Ancient ruins like these often hide traps. If we dig them rashly, it's likely..."

Uncle Xin Zhao has had adventures in many places around the world over the years and encountered many traps and troublesome situations, so he is quite experienced in this regard.

"It's been over a thousand years. Even the mountaintops have collapsed. How could there be any traps..."

"Besides, this wall is right in front of you, don't you want to climb over it and take a look?"

Wang Yao kicked the stone wall lightly, and a layer of yellow mud peeled off. It was probably because it had rained some time ago, and the mud was still a little moist.

Although I felt that what I said was a bit of a flag, who is he, A Yao? !

He even hoped there would be some traps... otherwise this expedition would be too boring.

"You're right. Since we've dug this far, of course we have to go in and take a look."

Uncle Xin Zhao nodded.

“But safety measures must still be taken.”

Uncle Xin Zhao looked up and observed the situation in the dungeon.

"Dragon Head Rat, dig a vertical passage upwards. If there is any danger after breaking through the wall, we can retreat quickly."

Uncle Xin Zhao took out a climbing rope from his backpack and tied the end of the rope to the belly of the dragon-headed mole.

"Ah~"

The dragon-headed mole shook its belly to make sure the rope was tied firmly, then instantly turned into a small drill and drilled straight into the top of the cave.

With a rustling sound, loose dust fell down and a cool breeze blew from behind the two of them.

The tunnel we were walking in already had several branches, but they were quite far apart. Now there was an exit right in front of our head, which made the air convection in the cave much better.

Crash—bang!

The dragon-headed gopher grasped the wall of the cave and landed on the ground. At the same time, a climbing rope tied to a large wooden stake on the ground also dropped down.
