At night, Populus euphratica camped deep in the cave.

Several Pokémon were sitting around the campfire, the warm flames lighting up the happy expressions on their faces.

Hu Yang looked at these guys, smiled softly, and then took stock of what he had gained from his trip so far.

Various incense with "cat rice" and buff functions bought in Kaina City, a lot of stones brought back from the Great Purple Desert, and resurrection grass dug in the underground oasis.

And in one afternoon, the Ancient Moon Bird brought back a lot of fragments of meteors or meteorites from outside.

Unfortunately, there was not a single stone in it that he wanted.

However, it is already very good.

Populus euphratica turned to look at Gu Yueniao...

The Ancient Moon Bird, who had been busy all afternoon, was lazily huddled next to the fire, closing his eyes and looking very sleepy.

Seeing this, Hu Yang put the other things in his hand aside, went over to pick it up and put it on his lap.

"Gah?" The ancient moon bird raised its head blankly and made a silly cry.

"Go to sleep." Populus euphratica gently touched its feathers and said.

"Gah."

Gu Yueniao responded, as if he understood, and huddled in his trainer's arms obediently, closing his eyes.

The light of the bonfire illuminated this small world, driving away the heavy darkness.

Everything has been completed for today.

Hu Yang had nothing else to do, so he boredly used appraisal to check the physical status and detailed information of his Pokémon.

After these days of getting along and traveling, the favorability of these little guys towards him has risen to 100.

Even the proud Lightning Bird's favorability has reached over 90, and is constantly hovering between 95-99.

However, in addition to Ancient Moon Bird, the favorability of other Pokémon will also fluctuate in a small range.

For example, the previous Lalu brushing will fluctuate between 98-100.

This is a very interesting thing.

According to Hu Yang's observation, the reason for this phenomenon seems to be related to his neglect.

Human energy is limited.

When there are too many children, oh no, too many Pokémon, it is inevitable that one or two of them will be neglected.

However, when he talks to that Pokémon for a while, or touches it and plays small games with it for a while, those favorability points will rise again and will be firmly fixed at 100.

Populus euphratica feels that this function is quite useful.

Because it will remind him which Pokémon he has neglected during this period, and which Pokémon is secretly sad because of his neglect.

Just like raising a child.

As the saying goes, crying children get candy, while sensible children often get the least attention.

Hu Yang didn't want to become that kind of trainer.

However, Ancient Moon Bird's favorability is as stable as ever, always fixed at the number 100.

Populus euphratica touched the feathers of the ancient moon bird and stared blankly at the dancing bonfire in front of him.

After a long while, he looked away and prepared to rest.

Early tomorrow morning, he was going to leave here to find Fossil Mania, and then return to Weibai Town early to transplant the tenacious resurrection grass that had not yet dried up into the ecological garden.

Try to look up information on agriculture and herbal medicine to see if it can be mass-produced.

This way, you will be protected in case of emergencies in the future.

Thinking of this, Hu Yang took the Ancient Moon Bird back into the master ball just as he was about to go back to his tent to sleep.

A violent explosion suddenly came from the cave in the distance, and the shock wave caused the entire ground to shake.

Hmm? What's going on?

Did any emergency occur?

Hu Yang was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that that was the direction that Dawu had gone before.

Daigo said he was just passing by, but only a ghost would believe it.

Moreover, that direction is not the direction away from Meteor Falls. On the contrary, if you continue to go forward, you will go deeper.

Dawu must have come here to dig rocks.

In the game, he will often come to Meteor Falls to dig rocks.

Because of this incident, even Mikri would say to the protagonist of the game:

"Have you met Daigo? He is... obviously too strong, but rarely participates in battles. He prefers to spend time looking for precious stones. I can guarantee that he is digging stones on a cliff or cliff right now.

!」

So, do you want to go over and take a look at the situation?

Hu Yang only thought for a second before making a decision.

Dawu is quite a good person.

He wanted to go over and see if Dawu didn't get stoned to death.

Because not all trainers will release a large group of bodyguards to protect themselves like him when they come to a place like this.

When Dawu came over before, Hu Yang did not see him releasing Metagross, but walked into the dark cave alone.

Thinking of this, Hu Yang stood up, extinguished the bonfire next to him, packed up his things, and rushed towards the direction of the sound with Gengar.

Passing through a dark cave path, Populus euphratica soon saw the light of a flashlight not far away.

He came to the end of the road, stopped, stood on the broken rock, and looked down at the area illuminated by the flashlight.

It was a very vast underground cave.

The mottled murals carved on the wall make it look like the relics of an ancient tribe.

Because of the vibration just now, part of the ground above collapsed, exposing this hollow.

"Why are you here?" At this time, a voice came from not far away.

Hu Yang raised his head and saw Dawu, who was also holding a flashlight and followed by a white giant Metagross.

"I heard a little noise." Hu Yang said truthfully.

An apologetic expression appeared on Dawu's face, and he took the initiative to explain: "Sorry, I didn't notice."

He really didn't expect that he just came here to dig up rocks, but he would make such a big noise...

Seeing that Dawu was intact, Hu Yang turned his attention to the white Metagross behind him.

Its appearance is that of a huge mechanical life form with a white background and a discus-shaped body. Its thick legs are shaped like iron dumbbells and extend from the four directions of the body.

Its eyes are red, and there is an "X"-shaped golden metal cross on its face. The two colors of gold and white make this giant monster look noble and handsome, just like its trainer.

Tsk, so handsome!

Hu Yang was not very envious, but he was somewhat impressed by the temperament of this glittering Metagross.

Daigo watched him looking at Metagross, but didn't speak for a while.

It wasn't until she saw him looking away that she invited him, "Would you like to go shopping in this place together?"

Hearing this, Hu Yangcai looked at the large hollow below and agreed to the invitation.

With the help of their Pokémon, the two of them successfully landed on the ground in the large hollow.

Under the illumination of two flashlights, Hu Yang finally saw clearly what the entire mural looked like:

A huge meteorite fell from the sky and hit this place, making a big hole.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of people came here from a distance to investigate the huge meteorite.

They found a stone emitting colorful light in this huge meteorite and took it away from here.

The back part was damaged over time.

Later, these people built a tower towering into the clouds on the sea.

The meteorite that was taken out, emitting colorful light, was placed on the top of the tower.

Above these murals, a mysterious dark figure stands.

He is like a god, hovering in the sky, quietly looking down at the world.

Hu Yang and Dawu stood below, looking up at the content on the mural.

Daigo was a little surprised, "That's...the Pillar of the Sky?"

"Pillar of the sky?" Hu Yang wanted to see how much Dawu knew about these things, so Hu Yang asked: "What is that?"

Daigo did not hide anything and explained: "That is the place where the god of the sky, Rayquaza, lives in the legend spread in the Hoenn region."
