Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

The terrain of this island is quite ordinary, and its landform features and vegetation distribution are of the most common type.

If it were not known in advance that there were rare crystal rock snakes living here, it would probably be regarded as just one of the many ordinary alliance islands.

Ponkan Island is small in size and limited in area. Lu Wu drove his armored bird and landed lightly on this island in just over ten minutes.

The scenery of this island is quite similar to that of Dalangyu Island compared to Penggan Island, with few people.

There is a long-abandoned trail on the island, which is now covered by dense weeds. It can be imagined that this road must have been opened up by Daqiao himself in the past. However, as time passed, he had not set foot here for a long time after he entered his twilight years.

Whenever facing such unknown places that have never been set foot on, the fast swimming frog always takes the initiative to show up and act as Lu Wu's loyal and reliable partner.

The reason for this is that the Frog has strong strength to deal with various potential dangers; secondly, due to its moderate size, in most cases, as long as the Frog can pass through the unobstructed path, Luwu can also pass through smoothly.

"Armored Bird, we will explore the cave next, you can go back to the Poké Ball to rest for a while." Luwu said softly. Then, he skillfully took out the Poké Ball and put the Armored Bird into it. Then, he and Frog walked towards the mountain in the center of the island.

The trees on this island are lush and green, as if showing people the vitality of nature. It is not difficult to infer from these thriving trees that the soil here is quite fertile.

Luwu took Frog through the dense woods and soon arrived at the mysterious cave mentioned by the old man on the bridge. As the old man said, it was very conspicuous. The land around the cave was barren, and there were deep and shallow gullies on the ground, as if it was torn apart by some huge force. Some traces looked very new, obviously just formed not long ago.

"Well, it seems that it has been out again recently." Lu Wu frowned and carefully looked at the criss-crossing traces on the ground. After careful observation, he found that these gullies were obviously deeper than those made by ordinary rock snakes. So, he carefully took out the portable camera made of brown wood that he carried with him, and took several photos of the scene in front of him for future research. Then, he and the fast swimming frog stepped into the cave together.

The passage in the cave was more spacious than expected, and it was estimated that it could accommodate several adults walking side by side. Not long after walking along the passage, a clear lake came into view, like a smooth gem, lying quietly in the depths of the cave, emitting a charming luster.

This is an extremely wide and empty cave inside the mountain, as if it is a magnificent palace carefully carved by nature. In the center of the cave, there is a huge lake, like a silver mirror, reflecting the wonderful scene of rugged rocks and strange stalactites above.

And around the lake, the stone walls of the cave are inlaid with countless strange crystals of various shapes, which are either crystal clear or refracting charming light, making the whole cave full of a dreamy atmosphere. Not only that, there are also many crystal fragments of different sizes scattered in the lake. These crystals emit a unique and mysterious luster against the background of the lake, making this water area dreamlike and intoxicating.

At this moment, the fast-swimming frog is keeping a high degree of vigilance, scanning every corner around with sharp eyes. It felt both excited and nervous about this strange and novel environment. With its keen intuition, it seemed to sense that an invisible force was secretly watching itself and Luwu.

Luwu, standing aside, silently imitated the secret code that Daqiao had taught him and blew a whistle gently. The crisp and pleasant sound echoed in the empty cave, but after blowing it several times, the lake was still calm and there was no response.

"Onix! I am Daqiao's friend!"

Luwu shouted loudly. As a master who is proficient in fighting skills, he has always been extremely vigilant. At this moment, he was more and more certain that Onix must have discovered their arrival long ago, but for some reason, he was unwilling to show up for the time being.

"I'm here to take you away, to see the vast and wonderful world outside!"

However, the surface of the lake was like a huge mirror, without any ups and downs, as if time had frozen at this moment, and everything wasIt seemed particularly peaceful and tranquil.

Lu Wu unhurriedly opened his backpack and took out a delicate bottle. He walked towards the lake with light steps, carefully pointed the bottle mouth at the lake, and slowly tilted it to let the clear and transparent lake water flow into the bottle. The water here looks more like... melted crystal!

Lu Wu quickly sealed the bottle mouth tightly with the bottle cap to ensure that this magical liquid would not leak out. Seeing this, the fast-swimming frog on the side also curiously came to the water's edge and stretched out its paw to gently touch the lake water. After a moment, it shook its head helplessly, indicating that the water in this strange water area is by no means ordinary water in the general sense.

"It seems that it doesn't want to meet us yet." Lu Wu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and whispered to the fast-swimming frog beside him.

"Swim?"

Swimper blinked his round eyes and waved his huge fists, as if asking if he should dive into the water and find the hidden Rock Snake.

Lu Wu stared at the clear, fairy-like lake in front of him and shook his head again. He knew that the crystal Rock Snake had been crystallized and perfectly integrated into this unique water area. Here, it can almost achieve the invisible effect in the physical sense, and it is not easy to find it easily.

"Let Nidorino try!" With a light shout from Lu Wu, he quickly threw the Poké Ball in his hand. A flash of light flashed, and a strong and powerful Nidorino appeared in front of him.

"Try the skill of 100,000 volts first!" Lu Wu gave Nidorino an order with a deep look. Nidorino immediately understood the trainer's intention. It took a deep breath, and a dazzling electric current emanated from its body, and then suddenly released it towards the calm lake.

You know, under normal circumstances, ordinary Onix belongs to the rock and ground type Pokémon. According to common sense, they should be immune to electric-type moves. However, the crystal Onix in front of us is different. Not only can it swim freely in the water, but in the animation, it is not afraid of powerful water-type moves. Obviously, its attributes have changed dramatically.

This phenomenon can't help but remind people of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the Alola region. Due to long-term survival in a specific environment, the Nine-Tailed Fox gradually evolved a unique regional form, thus possessing different characteristics and attributes from its counterparts in other places. Perhaps, this crystal Onix is ​​also the case. It is precisely because of the special living conditions that its attributes have changed.
