I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 217

Xiao Mao said, "If you want, you can make a sound twice."

"Hum! Hum!"

The armored dragon immediately let out two cries.

Seeing this, Shigeru also asked Eevee to release its psychic restraints.

Feeling that it could move again, the armored dragon didn't run around. Instead, it slowly moved to the green crystal, lay down to rest, and then its body was covered with rays of light the same color as the crystal, repairing its injuries.

"What? This stone has healing properties?" Xiao Mao asked in surprise.

If this green crystal has healing properties, why didn't Tyrannosaurus Rex and Eevee react when they touched it, while Shellder reacted just by lying next to the crystal without any issues?

"Shell Dragon, what are these stones, and why can they heal your injuries?" Xiao Mao asked.

"Hmph." The armored dragon did answer, but Shigeru couldn't understand it. Just as Shigeru was about to release Latios to translate, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Gu!!"

Xiao Mao was startled and immediately turned around, only to find a Gu Niu Niu behind him, looking timid.

Since Ibrahimovic wasn't on guard, it seems that this Goonie doesn't harbor any hostility.

Xiao Mao didn't care about Gu Niu Niu, because Gu Niu Niu wasn't a powerful Pokémon; any normal person could beat it, and it was a very weak Pokémon.

"Gurgle!! Gurgle!! Gurgle!!!"

However, Xiao Mao had no intention of making a move, and Gu Niu Niu started screaming like a madwoman, at a very loud volume.

Xiao Mao felt a bit of a headache and ordered, "Eevee, make Guniu quiet."

Ibu immediately used Psychic to pinch Gu Niu Niu's mouth shut, and instantly... the world went silent.

"Hmph!" Shellaur suddenly yelled at Eevee.

Upon hearing this, Eevee also released its Psychic buff, and Gugu Niu started barking loudly again.

"You know him?" Xiao Mao asked, puzzled.

Since Eevee listened to Shellder's words, Shellder obviously recognized this Gooey. Perhaps Shellder's trainer sent Gooey to find Shellder, which is why Gooey called out loudly after finding Shellder.

Xiao Mao didn't stop Gu Niu Niu from calling out anymore.

A few minutes later... a figure appeared beside Gu Niu Niu. When Gu Niu Niu saw the person, she finally stopped crying.

Xiao Mao was quite surprised to see the people next to Gu Niu Niu.

"Higana...!" Xiao Shi was secretly shocked.

The newcomer was Higana, the successor of the Meteor Dwellers. However, Higana looked to be about the same age as Gary, with tanned skin that gave her a healthy appearance.

Higanbana is very vigilant at this moment. Although she has never lived in the outside world, trainers from the outside world have visited Higanbana since she was a child.

You can tell he's from the outside world just by looking at the clothes Xiao Mao is wearing.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Mao. This must be your armored dragon," Xiao Mao said.

"Hum!"

Before Higana could speak, the armored dragon scurried over to her side and rubbed its head against her calf, looking like a sycophant.

"You rascal, I told you not to run around like that. We agreed you could only go out once a week, and you went out again!" Higana scolded in dissatisfaction.

"Hmph." The armored dragon ignored Higana's criticism and just rubbed against her leg, trying to get her forgiveness by acting cute.

"Thank you for bringing the Shell Dragon back for me." Higana didn't have time to scold the Shell Dragon right now, so she first expressed her gratitude to Shigeru.

"You don't need to thank me. Actually, I thought the Shell Dragon was a wild Pokémon and was thinking of catching it. I even beat it up. I'm glad you don't blame me," said Shigeru.

"Hmph! Hmph!" Upon hearing Xiao Mao's words, the armored dragon immediately began to complain and whine.

Xiao Mao was speechless. This armored dragon was really something else. It was very obedient when it was facing him just now, but now that it saw Xigana, it started to act arrogantly.

"What are you whining about? You deserve it. I told you not to run around. Luckily, you ran into a reasonable person this time. If you had run into a bad guy, you might not have come back," Xijiana scolded.

Armored Dragon: (ΩДΩ)...!

The armored dragon was desperate. It was clearly the one who got beaten up, and not only did its master not help it, but he also criticized it. This really hurt the dragon's feelings.

Xiao Mao was also embarrassed by the 2.9, but it was certain that Xijiana was a sensible girl.

"You should come in and rest first." Higanbana still felt sorry for Shellaur, so she didn't criticize it much and put it back into its Poké Ball.

Then, Xijiana and Gu Niu Niu walked up to Xiao Mao and said, "Hello, my name is Xijiana."

"Hello, my name is Xiao Mao," Xiao Mao replied.

"Little Shigeru, what are you doing at Meteor Falls?" Higana asked.

From Higana's self-introduction, she didn't say where she came from, clearly trying to conceal the existence of Meteor Village.

"I heard there are Dragon-type Pokémon at Meteor Falls, so I came here specifically to look for them. That's when I encountered Shellder, and then I discovered that Shellder has a trainer, so I came down to take a look," said Gary.

326: Meteor Village

Higana was speechless upon hearing this.

Since the Armored Dragon didn't want to fly into the sky, and Meteor Village was located underground at Meteor Falls, even though the Armored Dragon couldn't fly, it still wanted to look up at the sky. So, the Armored Dragon kept clamoring to go outside and see the world every day.

Higana also promised to take the armored dragon outside once a week. Of course, going outside once a week couldn't stop the armored dragon from wanting to fly in the blue sky, so the armored dragon secretly ran away.

"By the way, do you live here often?" Xiao Mao asked.

“How could that be? This is underground, why would I live here?” Higana immediately denied.

"Really? But I just saw the armored dragon using this green crystal to heal its injuries, and it did it very skillfully. Are you sure you don't live here?" Xiao Mao pointed to the green crystal next to him.

"Hehe... Okay, I do often stay here." Higana was still too young, and after being slightly exposed by Shigeru, she immediately admitted it.

The key is that Shigeru is a teenager, and in Higana's eyes, he poses no threat. However, if it were someone slightly older, the situation would be quite different.

"Looks like the legend is true," Xiao Mao said.

"What legend?" Higana asked, puzzled.

11

"There have always been rumors that Meteor Falls is inhabited, but I never imagined it was true," said Xiao Mao.

The idea that people live in Meteor Falls has been a long-standing legend in the Hoenn region, but no one believes that anyone would live in a cave.

Xijiana was aware of some of the rumors circulating outside, but she never expected anyone to come here. The last person to come here was more than ten years ago, before Xijiana was even born.

"So, Shigeru, you came here just to catch a Dragon-type Pokémon?" Higana asked.

"I guess so. Do you have any here?" Xiao Mao asked.

Higana was in a dilemma. Of course there were Dragon-type Pokémon in Meteor Village. They had gone through so much trouble to come here to find them and even brought back Shell Dragon for her. She should at least express her gratitude.

“There are Dragon-type Pokémon, but I don’t know if you can take them with you. Come with me,” Higana said.

"it is good."

Although I don't understand what Higana means, it seems there's a chance to get a Dragon-type Pokémon.

Higanbana herself is not a bad person. As a descendant of the Meteor Dwellers, she is a successor. When Groudon and Kyogre fight again, the successor will ask Rayquaza for help to stop the conflict.

Shigeru followed behind Higana through the rugged passage, finally watching her disappear into a mountain wall.

Xiao Mao was stunned on the spot. This mountain wall should be similar to the secret garden in the Odomare Cathedral.

"Don't just stand there, just walk in," came Higana's voice.

Xiao Mao strode forward, passing directly through the mountain wall, which was merely an illusion and served no purpose as an obstacle.

"this...!"

Upon reaching the back of the mountain wall, Xiao Mao saw a small village ahead. The mountain wall was surrounded by green crystals, the light emanating from which illuminated everything.

What surprised Xiao Mao the most was that there was a huge pit next to the village, which was as big as two villages.

"What's going on with this pit?" Xiao Mao asked curiously.

“Come with me, I’ll tell you as we walk,” Higana said, and Xiao Mao immediately followed.

“This place was originally on the surface, but a thousand years ago, a meteorite fell into Meteor Falls.” Higanbana explained as she walked, “That meteorite possessed magical energy and could emit enormous life energy. At that time, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought a world-destroying war over the meteorite. This war almost changed the entire terrain of the Hoenn region, which is why the original surface was swept underground.”

"In the end, Rayquaza quelled the battle between Primal Groudon and Kyogre, and our race, the Meteor Daughters, has guarded this place for generations to prevent the meteorites in the crater from being discovered again."

"The meteorite is still there!" Xiao Mao exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, the meteorite has been in the crater all this time, and we, the Meteor People, have been protecting it ever since,” said Higana.

Xiao Mao suddenly thought of the rainbow meteorite in the future plot. Could it be that the rainbow meteorite is in this crater?

Holy crap, what kind of storyline have I stumbled into?

"Can I see that meteorite?" Xiao Mao asked.

“You can’t see it. The meteorite is stuck very deep, and after a thousand years, it has almost no energy left. Its surface has completely lithified,” Higana said.

"That's it."

Xiao Mao thought so too, since the rainbow meteorite might have really run out of energy after a thousand years.

This can be seen in the sundial in Birch City, Carlos Region. That sundial was made from an extraterrestrial meteorite and originated from the same source as the Rainbow Meteorite. Otherwise, the Rainbow Meteorite would not have reacted with the sundial meteorite.

After walking down the circular downhill path, they finally reached the surface of the pit. Xiao Mao looked to the side and saw that the pit was bottomless and pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything.

As Higana said, the surface of the rock is completely lithified, but the inside should still be crystalline; all that's needed is to peel away the outer rock layers.

"Xijiana, who is this person?" As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, a middle-aged man blocked their way and questioned Xiaomao about his origins.

The Meteor Clan has lived here for generations. Everyone in the village knows each other, and Xiao Mao is not from the village at all.

“Uncle Gu Yiduo, this is someone from outside. He doesn’t mean us any harm,” Xijiana said.

"Oh, really?" Gu Yiduo looked Xiao Mao up and down, seeing that he was just a child, so he probably wouldn't be much of a threat.

Although the Meteor People live in seclusion, many people from the outside world have still come here over the past thousand years.

"Then why did you bring him to the village?" Gu Yiduo asked, puzzled.

When villagers encounter outsiders, they usually try to guide them out of the village, but they won't bring them back into the village.

“Well… because I sensed the scent of a dragon on him, I brought him to meet the elders,” Higana said.
