Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

In the mine tunnel that looks pitch black from the entrance, there are many miners exploring deeper into the mine, with rows of mining lamps providing them with light to support their progress.

"Do we want to go deeper?" an ordinary miner asked his companion. Their mission this time was to go as deep into the mountain as possible to explore the fossils and resources buried there.

At this moment, the mine cart next to them was already loaded with some black coal.

"Of course, Longjing, this is just the beginning. We are at a depth now where we may not even be able to dig up some bone residues." Another miner standing not far away replied to Longjing with a cigarette butt in his mouth, but his eyes never left the machine that was drilling a hole in front of him.

There is a drill at the front of the machine and tracks installed underneath. It is a very standard drilling machine. Of course, this thing will only be used when miners break through shallow rocks, because if it is used at deep depths, it is likely to destroy precious fossils.

"Hiss!" The Sandshrew standing next to this man saw the machine in front gradually stop and couldn't wait to join the "battlefield".

"Oh, I see..." Long Jing looked up at his companions who were working hard in the distance, and then wanted to join in the work.

"Wait, Longjing." The uncle-looking man suddenly called him.

"What's wrong, Uncle Hu?" Long Jing asked puzzledly.

"As a newcomer, just watch how we exert our strength first. Don't rush to join in." Uncle Hu smiled, then held the mining draft and tried to tell Longjing how to exert his strength, but suddenly he stopped, "What is that?"

Long Jing looked in the direction Uncle Hu pointed, and a small green dinosaur came into his sight. "Is that... a baby Kiras?"

"It seems to be Mr. Aislo's." Uncle Hu narrowed his eyes to confirm it, then nodded to confirm his idea.

At this time, young Kiras also noticed the two people who were "pointing" at him. His big red eyes were full of confusion. He lowered his head to look at his body, as if to confirm whether there was anything strange.

At this time, Long Jing took out a small piece of coal from the mine cart beside him and walked towards Little Kiras, asking: "Little guy, do you want to eat it?" He had heard before that if Little Kiras wanted to evolve, he had to eat up a mountain, and the mountain should contain minerals such as coal.

"Hey, Longjing, some elves are very shy!" Before Uncle Hu's reminder fell, he saw little Kiras jump slightly and swallow the piece of coal in Longjing's hand into his mouth.

Soon, a bright light shone in the little guy's eyes. This stuff was much more delicious than the snow on Tianguan Mountain.

Uncle Hu watched the scene in silence, then grabbed a handful of coal from the mine cart nearby and walked over there.

【Two Minutes Later~】

When I turned my attention back to this place, young Kiras was surrounded by miners. As for work? There was still plenty of time, so why rush?

Not far away from the crowd, a group of elves just stared at them quietly, their eyes filled with helplessness and confusion.

A man wearing a work hat held his forehead helplessly. What on earth are these humans with fish lips doing?

On the other hand, our dear little Kiras was eating coal in small bites, his eyes had narrowed into crescents, and the bright smile on his face could not be concealed, he looked so happy.

"Hey, everybody, cheer up, we have to go to work!" A miner who seemed to be of a high status was the first to be unable to withstand the elves' interrogative gazes and shouted to his colleagues around him in embarrassment.

"Oh." "Got it."

There were sporadic sounds around, but the final result was good and the miners returned to their work.

"Young?" Young Kiras, who had been enjoying the scene, tilted his head in confusion as he looked at the scene. He then fell into deep thought as he looked at the direction in which everyone was digging. Then he quickly rushed over there on his short legs, and then... the little green dinosaur opened his "bloody mouth" and swallowed large chunks of rock into his stomach.

The people around couldn't help laughing when they saw the small bulldozer, and they swung their pickaxes even harder. People and elves worked together in this way, and in a short while they dug up many fossils.

Uncle Hu looked at the excavated fossils with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, then poked his colleague's waist with his elbow and asked: "Have we ever dug up so many fossils at this depth before?"

"It seems not." The man replied after thinking for a moment, "Maybe we are lucky this time."

"I hope so." Uncle Hu turned his head and looked at the pickaxe in his hand. For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

"Relax, Uncle Hu. No matter what, do you think we can encounter a group of Boskodora here?" The lively atmosphere in Longjing made Uncle Hu laugh. Yes, what dangerous things could we encounter here?

"Little Kiras!" At this time, he turned around with his hands on his hips. He patted his chest with his short paws, making a dull sound, as if to say, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

The workers around laughed at this scene.

Suddenly, the miner in front turned around and shouted: "The rocks here seem a bit strange, come and take a look!"

A few people walked over curiously and observed the rock that the man pointed to. After a long time, they didn't see anything unusual. They couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Okay, Dongcheng, you are itching for trouble, right? This is clearly an ordinary rock, right?"

"No, try knocking on it with a pickaxe. It seems like this rock cannot be broken at all." Dongcheng was helpless and took the lead in stretching out his pickaxe to knock on the rock. However, what he heard was the sound of steel colliding with each other, which startled several workers.

Several people swung their pickaxes vigorously to smash the rock. There was a crisp "clang" sound and sparks flew everywhere. This made Longjing and others behind them open their eyes wide.

"Huh? This is..."

Uncle Hu and the others came over curiously, and little Kiras also mixed in and looked at the rock.

"Why not dig around?" someone suggested, looking at the rock that had not yet fully revealed its true appearance.

Everyone started working again, and soon a huge rock wall appeared in front of them. The rock wall seemed like a natural moat blocking their way to the other side.

"What is this?" Long Jing raised his eyebrows, his curiosity growing stronger.

"How about trying that?" Someone pointed at the huge machine behind him.

"No, if there are any fossils behind it, they will be destroyed." Someone else quickly denied it.

"..." People started to chatter and think about the solution. The strange force could not control its own power, and the destructive power was too great, PASS. The claws of the Sandshovel King could not break the rock layer, PASS. Continuing to dig around would require too much work, PASS... One plan after another was rejected.

Young Kiras looked at the crowd in silence, bit a hole in the rock wall and started chewing. This thing tasted better than coal.

"Click, click..." The crisp sound attracted everyone's attention. The workers looked at the tiny figure in surprise, but when they thought of the reputation of these little guys as "quasi-gods", they felt normal again. The problem that had just given them a headache was solved.

In this way, with the help of Young Kiras, a large hole was successfully bitten through the rock layer, and the true appearance of the mountain behind it was revealed to everyone.
