Pokémon: The Journey of Bonds

"Rotom, can you analyze it?"

"Do you really think I know everything? How can I analyze where the giant jaw ants went? Loto."

"Don't these ants have pheromones?" Sun Qing asked curiously.

"The Jaw Ant is an antlion, not an ant. It doesn't leave pheromones, Loto!"

"Then let's split up and look for it! Whoever finds the giant jaw ant will own it! I'll go to the cave in the northeast."

"I'm going to the cave to the northwest."

"Then let's go to the cave in the south."

The four of them entered three cave entrances respectively. Wu Yao must have gone with Sun Qing, as they were very good friends.

After entering the cave, Wu Yao discovered that there was no need for a light source, as the crystals here would glow by themselves. After analysis, Rotom determined that it was not the crystals that glowed, but the spores spread by the Sleeping Mushroom community. Their spores had the effect of making people sleepy, but now these spores did not have these effects for the time being and simply glowed. It seemed that something had scared the Sleeping Mushroom community away.

The two of them walked along the glowing road, and Wu Yao picked up some crystals. These crystals were very beautiful. If he couldn't sell them at a good price, he would process them into crystal necklaces. His mother would definitely like them.

As they walked, they came to a stone wall.

"There is no way out, let's go back!" Sun Qing suggested. He was a little disappointed. It seemed that he was not the chosen one.

Wu Yao took a closer look at the stone. The color of the stone was obviously different from the other stones nearby. Wu Yao knocked on the stone and it seemed to be hollow at the back.

"Rotom, scan what's behind the stone."

"According to the scan, there is a larger cave behind the stone."

"Should we go over and take a look?" Wu Yao asked Sun Qing.

"Go! Let's go since there's a road behind us! It's a good opportunity to test the learning machines I bought in the village that are essential for outdoor adventures! Go! Three Diglett! Use Rock Crusher!"

The three rats used fighting energy to condense a palm out of thin air, and then split the huge rock that was blocking the way with one palm.

"A learning machine is necessary for adventure? You?"

"Rock Crushing, Iai Slash, Flash, Secret Power, Surfing, Super Strength, Diving, Flying, Waterfall Climbing, etc. All for sale for only 5000 yuan!"

"I'm speechless. You're stupid but rich. Although these skill machines can clear the way, they have very few useful skills. Among the things you bought, the only one that can be used in battle is surfing. The other skills are too ordinary. And doesn't your Gyarados know how to climb waterfalls? Why are you learning this..."

"It's cheap anyway, so if it's useful, we can use it. Look, isn't it being used now?"

"Forget it, as long as you are happy, let's continue walking inside..."

The inside is very similar to the outside, and it looks like a colony of sleepy mushrooms has been here. There are still very bright crystals stained with spores.

"According to analysis, this cave is made of volcanic rock. The rocks were formed about 3.5 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period of dinosaurs, Loto."

"Dinosaur era? Will there be dinosaur fossils here?"

"According to the data, there are currently no dinosaurs that can live in underground magma, Loto."

"Ah! That means if I find a fossil, I can become the discoverer of a new dinosaur! What should I call this dinosaur? Well, Sun Qing Underground Magma Dragon! This name is good. Maybe I can make money with it after I am resurrected."

"You! You really don't have any common sense at all! How did you learn it in school? Although dinosaurs also exist in Pokémon, these fossils are time travelers, and the genes inside are not damaged, so scientists can use technology to revive them. The Cretaceous period was the last reptile dynasty before mammals ruled the world. They became extinct due to a meteorite impact, and now their genes are completely damaged. Scientists have no ability to revive non-Pokémon dinosaurs! Moreover, dinosaurs are carbon-based creatures, and they can neither breathe fire and discharge electricity like Pokémon, nor can there be any magma dragons! You can't even hear my sarcasm, you are too stupid, Loto!"

"Can you blame me for not teaching about dinosaur fossils in school? Of course I used the dinosaurs in Pokémon as a reference..."

Wu Yao saw that the atmosphere was a bit off and hurried over to mediate: "Alright, Rotom, his knowledge is not as profound as yours. Just give way to him. You are the Pokémon with the most profound knowledge. Your Excellency is magnanimous."

Wu Yao whispered to Sun Qing: "Don't bring up a topic if you are not sure about it. Besides, Rotom has a search software, but you don't. Don't discuss knowledge you don't understand with him."

"I'll forgive him because you said so many nice things about me."

"I forgive Rotom, too. Okay, let's keep going."

Before they had walked far, they saw bite marks on some of the crystals. Some of the crystals had been eaten away, leaving only the base.

"It looks like there's a Pokémon hiding in the dark that eats rocks and crystals. Oh, come out! Kokodora."

"cocoa!"

"See if there's anything you like in these crystals. If there is, eat more. If you can't eat more, I'll dig it out for you. This way you can save some money on food."

After sniffing, Kokodora found a piece of crystal and started chewing it. The originally hard crystal crunched in his mouth like a biscuit and he swallowed it.

It was not enough for Kokodora to just chew on one piece of crystal, so she found a bigger piece of crystal and started chewing on it. Wu Yao and the other person were also looking for clues around.

"The one that can eat so many crystals must be the giant jaw ant! Its mouth is so big that it can eat a whole crystal!"

"The jaws of the giant ant can probably bite off half of a crystal in one bite. These crystals have small pieces bitten off, and there are some tiny tooth marks here. Moreover, Kokodora ate so many rocks, but this guy only ate these crystals. The other rocks were not touched at all. I think the scope can be greatly narrowed down, and I think I know the murderer."

"So who is eating the crystal?"

"cocoa!"

Not far away came Kokodora's roar, as if someone was having a quarrel.

"Kokodora is already fighting with the murderer. Let's hurry over there, maybe we can see who the murderer is!"

Wu Yao and Sun Qing ran over to take a look, and saw a purple Pokémon fighting with Kokodora for a gem. Kokodora was holding the crystal in its mouth and pulling it towards them, while the other Pokémon was holding the crystal in its mouth and pulling it towards them. It had a pair of diamond eyes and a beautiful red gem on its chest, and it looked like an elf overall.
