“No, Aggron is a Steel/Rock type Pokémon,” Gary said.
“I see. Then I’ll go to the Stone Cave with you,” Higana said.
"alright."
Shigeru was also worried about leaving Higanbana alone at the Pokémon Center, fearing she might cause some trouble.
Rest overnight at the Pokémon Center.
The next day, Shigeru and Higana went to the Stone Cave.
"Come out." After entering the Stone Cave, Gary immediately released the Mega Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The Stone Cave is similar to the Meteor Cave, both being underground. It has three underground levels and contains many precious stones, making it a holy site for stone enthusiasts.
Even Daigo often comes to the Stone Cave to dig.
Shigeru guessed that Daigo must have found a Mega Stone in the Stone Cave, otherwise he wouldn't be digging here so frequently.
This time, I came to the Stone Cave not only to capture Cocodora, but also to see if I could find a Mega Stone.
"Xiao Mao, how are you going to find Cocodora?" Xijiana asked.
"Cocodora usually eats iron ore and is generally underground," said Shigeru. "Super Iron Tyrannosaurus, let's dig a hole."
337: Stone Cave, Cocodora
"Roar."
The Tyrannosaurus Rex dug a hole on the spot, using the ground vibrations to sense the depth underground and find the closest path. Eevee was also helping to move the soil out of the hole.
Soon, the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex dug a hole, and Gary and Higanbana went underground through it.
"More!"
"Dora...!"
Upon arriving at the basement level, Shigeru turned on his flashlight and saw that he and Higanbana were surrounded by five Cocodoras, each of which had an unfriendly expression.
"Is this Cocodora?" Higana was not afraid at all and took out her Pokédex to scan it.
Pokédex entry: "Cocodora, a Corviknight Pokémon, a troublesome Pokémon. To forge its steel body, it digs up iron ore from mountains to eat, but occasionally it will also eat bridges or railway tracks..."
【LV11 Coco Dora♂/Elite】
【LV10 Cocoa Dora♂/Normal】
...!
【LV12 Coco Dora♂/Elite】
The five Cocodoras were all below level 15, so they were naturally very weak, but they all had unfriendly expressions.
"I'm sorry to bother you. Could you please forgive us this once?" Xiao Mao said apologetically.
"More!"
"More!"
"Dora...!"
Clearly, these Cocodoras are not good-tempered and have no intention of letting Shigeru off the hook.
Seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement, Xiao Mao said helplessly, "Let's scare the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex a bit."
"Roar!"
The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex made a terrifying face at the Cocodors, which immediately scared the five Cocodors away.
"Such a coward..." Higana felt ashamed for Cocodora. The Super Iron Tyrannosaurus hadn't even done anything yet, and they were already scared away.
This is the case with most wild Pokémon; if they encounter a large Pokémon, they'll just scare it away.
"Alright, we can start looking for stones now," said Xiao Mao.
"Weren't we looking for stones to capture Cocodora?" Higana asked, puzzled.
"Catching AcroDora was just a side thing. I have requirements for training Pokémon. If their potential isn't high, I won't waste my time training them," said Gary.
"Do elves have different potential levels?" Higana asked, puzzled.
"Of course! You don't think that just by catching a Pokémon and training it, it will become very powerful, do you?" said Shigeru.
Higana thought back carefully. The Dragon-type Pokémon of the village elders varied in strength, but they were all trained at the same time. So it seems that there are differences in potential strength among Pokémon.
"What is my potential as a shelled dragon?" Higana asked curiously.
"Your Shellder has good potential. By modern standards, it's above the gym level," said Gary.
"Can't the potential above the dojo be explored?" Higana asked, puzzled.
"With current technology, we can't detect it. We can only see how far your Shellder can grow in the future. However, the highest potential is currently judged as Champion potential, and as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Shellder should have that potential," said Gary.
As for potential above champion level, there is no differentiation in stamina that has entered the right track because ordinary Pokémon with potential above champion level are too rare, and it takes a long time for a Pokémon to grow to that level.
The trainer might die before the Pokémon reaches that level.
"That's great! My armored dragon is indeed very strong," Higana said proudly.
"High potential is a good thing, but whether the Pokémon can grow to that level, and how long it will take, still depends on your skills as the trainer," Gary reminded her, lest Sidgara become too arrogant.
Although Xijiana is a girl, she has a very proud personality, sometimes acting like a boy, and is quite arrogant.
“I’m a successor, so there’s definitely no problem,” Higana said.
"Let's talk about it after you pass the trial your grandma prepared for you." After saying that, Xiao Mao stopped talking and began searching the Stone Cave.
"Hmph! I'm not going with you." Higana sullenly walked towards another path, looking at Shigeru who was ignoring her.
Shigeru didn't bother with it. There was no danger inside the Stone Cave, especially since Higanbana had lived underground for many years and was very used to moving around here, much more comfortable than Shigeru.
"How come there are all kinds of stones here?"
Shigeru searched for stones in the vicinity and found quite a few rare stones, even evolution stones. However, there were many different kinds of evolution stones, including fire stones, leaf stones, and thunder stones.
Normally, evolution stones are found in one place, but in the Stone Cave, you can find all kinds of evolution stones, making the island seem like it's made up of different geological formations. That's why so many kinds of evolution stones can be found in the cave.
"...Doraemon!"
Just as Shigeru found a Fire Stone, a heavy voice came from behind him.
Xiao Mao and Super Iron Tyrannosaurus turned around and saw a group of Cocodoras and one Cocodoras standing behind them. The Cocodoras were naturally the same five from before. They had called for their help.
"So cool!!"
Xiao Mao never expected that Coco Dora would be so social, actually able to call out to people.
Although Kodora is stronger than Kodora, it's no match for Shigeru. It would be more interesting if a Boss Kodora came.
【LV34 Kodora♂/Near-King】
The current Adolphin has good potential and can be considered to have met Gary's training standards.
After all, the bronze crown is only useful for Pokémon below the potential Elite Four level. I still have two bronze crowns from the Silver Tournament rewards, so it would be a waste not to use them.
After all, wild Pokémon rarely have high potential, so encountering a near-Elite Four member like Cthulhu is already considered quite lucky.
"Ibu, unleash Flame Burst!" Gary commanded.
"Bah!"
Eevee leaped into the air and spewed out a ball of fire.
"Dora!!"
Kodora was startled, and the Kodora behind her were also stunned. They did not expect that the seemingly weak Eevee would be so ruthless and attack right away.
Bang! !
The large fireball hits Kodora, instantly killing her.
"Go, Poké Ball!" Gary threw a Poké Ball at Academia and successfully caught it.
After seeing that the CocoDora had been captured, they were all so frightened that they ran away as fast as they could.
"Is this Acodora really that vengeful?" Shigeru wondered, watching Acodora run away. The Pokédex clearly stated that Acodora wasn't a short-tempered Pokémon.
All I did was let the Super Iron Tyrannosaurus Rex scare them a little, and they actually called for a Kodora? That's pretty ruthless.
338: A Chance Encounter with Daigo
“Buyi”.
Eevee, carrying the Poké Ball, ran to Gary's side and handed the Poké Ball to him.
Shigeru took the Poké Ball and checked Kodora's stats.
[Sprite: Kodora]
[Attributes: Steel, Rock]
【Level: 34】
[Potential: Quasi-king]
【Characteristic: Heavy metal (its own weight will double)】
[Skills: Tackle, Harden, Metal Claw, Rock Tomb, Protect, Iron Head.]
【Intimacy Level: 76 (Maximum 255)】
"The intimacy level is a bit low."
Kodora's stats are alright, but her intimacy level is a bit low, so it will take some time to train her.
"Ibu, go find Sigana, we should go too," said Shigeru.
It's been almost 3 hours since we came to the Stone Cave, and all we've found is a bunch of useless evolution stones. If it weren't for the Cocodoras calling in a Cocodoras with potential, this trip would have been a complete waste.
“Buyi”.
Ibu listened to the sounds around him and led Shigeru down a path.
Along the way, Xiao Mao looked at the extensive network of underground passages and admired Xi Jiana's route. This girl was really fast. Was she really digging something?
