Chapter 183 Shakiras
Chapter 183 Shakiras
Going against the current is not a difficult task for some Pokémon with strong bodies that have mastered the "Waterfall" move.
But how much power would be needed to stop a waterfall that is tens of meters high and make it roll back to reveal the cave behind it?
Long Ze found it hard to imagine.
But seeing the cave, which had been partially concealed, now revealed its true form amidst the Swamp Monster's "surfing," Longze couldn't help but sigh once again:
The giant swamp monsters of Lu Te and others are terrifying beyond belief.
Golduck acts like a zipper, dividing the waterfall in two, while Swampert acts like a pair of giant hands, holding the waterfall at both ends.
The giant onix led the group along the ice path laid out by the white sea lion, directly into the cave.
After entering the cave, the group discovered Pokémon such as Zubat, Graveler, and Elephant.
Under Professor Allen's direction, the research team placed infrared and other observation equipment in hidden yet easily observable corners where Pokémon could be seen.
Perhaps because the space inside the cave is more oppressive and humans are rarely seen, these Pokémon are generally much gentler than those in the forest.
"It seems that Silver Mountain isn't as terrifying as the legends say."
Looking at the Pokémon inside the cave, seemingly unconcerned about the arrival of the group, Ryuzawa said.
As Ryuzawa's senior, Hirabe glanced at the new investigator who had been brought along to broaden his horizons:
"Although there are many powerful Pokémon on Mt. Silver, they are not very wary of humans because it is usually a remote place."
"If we don't provoke them, apart from some Pokémon with bad tempers, very few Pokémon will attack us on their own initiative."
"And even if something like what happened with the Ursaring family just now occurred, with our team's trainer lineup, what Pokémon do you think could threaten us?"
"Otherwise, why do you think we would have brought a rookie investigator like you along to join the fun on this trip to Silver Mountain?"
Longze was aware of his senior's habit of belittling him, so he didn't mind.
"Then why didn't Lu Ante and the others want to bring Professor Allen and the others up the mountain at the beginning?"
Hirabe rolled his eyes:
"Nonsense, you can travel light, but are you willing to carry a heavy load?"
"Besides, we've only gone halfway, and we're still a long way from the Flamebird Cave. Who knows what will happen next?"
Just as the two investigators were chatting, Lu An raised his fist.
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Using the light, Long Ze gestured with his eyes: What happened?
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh".
"bump!"
"Shhhhh."
"bump!"
Inside the cave, a sound could be heard echoing continuously.
What was that sound?
Lu An's expression was serious. He gestured for Xiao Gang to protect Professor Allen and the others, then waved to Bai Ling and Ping Bu, signaling them to follow.
In such a cramped cave, the Ice-attribute Elite Four member, Lorelei, could not fully utilize her abilities.
Therefore, only a few investigators cautiously continued forward through the cave, while the rest remained where they were.
As Lu An and the others approached, the "whooshing" sounds inside the cave became increasingly clear, and "bang bang bang" sounds also rang out from time to time.
They could even feel the vibrations coming through their feet.
Lu An was slightly puzzled.
The "thump" sound seemed to be the sound of something hitting a hard object.
Judging from the vibrations, it seems a Pokémon is hitting the cave.
What was that "whoosh" sound?
It sounds like the sound of air friction?
Is the sound caused by excessive speed?
What kind of cave-dwelling Pokémon has a habit of ramming into caves and makes a sound like it's rubbing against the air?
Three-legged rat?
wrong.
Agile bug?
wrong.
Pangolin King?
wrong.
Cave, wall-banging, gas explosion sound.
Based on his knowledge of Pokémon, there are very, very few Pokémon that can meet these criteria.
Furthermore, it must also conform to the Pokémon species distribution of Mt. Silver.
Therefore, it seems that only one Pokémon is most likely to meet these conditions...
A shadow fell over Lu An's heart; he hoped it wasn't that Pokémon.
However, things often don't go as planned.
As Lu An and the others explored the cave, they got closer and closer to the source of the sound. Soon, Lu An saw the guy who had made the huge noise.
"Sand!"
The creature was over a meter tall, covered in a hard, grayish-blue shell, with sharp horns all over its body. Its eyes were red, and it could see through two holes in its shell.
It looks like a blue-black pupa.
However, unlike the fragile pupa, it was frantically ramming into the surrounding caves, creating deep craters with each "whoosh" sound.
Yet its hard shell showed no signs of damage.
"It's Shakiras."
Lu An's expression was solemn.
Sure enough, he guessed right.
The source of these strange noises was indeed Shakiras.
Sargeras evolves from Larvitar, a rock-skinned Pokémon born deep underground in caves.
After consuming the nutrients of a small mountain, the young Gilas will evolve into a Shajilas, accumulating energy through the pupa form to prepare for its final evolution.
The so-called "whooshing" sound is the sound of air explosion caused by the air friction resulting from the compression of the gas inside the body and the violent ejection of the gas backward, propelling itself out like a rocket.
It keeps crashing into the rock wall because the pupal form of Shakiras uses this to relieve stress.
Sargeras combines toughness and speed, and its bullet-like body is incredibly destructive. Coupled with its volatile temper, it is a very troublesome Pokémon.
"Shhh!"
This Pokémon is currently blocking Lu An and his companions' path, causing constant destruction.
Moreover, judging from the extent of its destruction, it clearly has no intention of stopping there.
Hirabe suppressed his surprise at bumping into Shakiras, and crept up to Lu An, gesturing with his hands:
Top-tier Pokémon, what should we do? Should we take it down quickly, just like we did with the other Pokémon?
Lu An glanced at Hirabe.
Take down Shakiras on the spot?
If it were any other Pokémon, even a final form, blatantly blocking their path, Lu An would have agreed without hesitation.
But looking at the Shakiras, Lu An seemed somewhat hesitant.
He noticed that hands and feet had grown from the sides of Shakiras's hard shell.
Although its hands and feet looked no bigger than an infant's, their proportions were ridiculously small compared to its body.
However, that means it has gradually shown signs of evolution and may evolve at any time.
Once it evolves, it will become Tyranitar, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon renowned in the Kanto and Johto Leagues and known as the "Desert Tyrant"!
