The Sandshrew, which was originally hugged in a circle, fell to the ground, and spread its four claws and tail. While it

couldn't stand up for a while, Guan Liyuan ordered again: "Butterfield, use paralysis powder, sleep powder, and poison powder!" Before the Sandshrew stood up, it suffered the negative states of paralysis and poisoning. What's more, it became drowsy...

The success rate of capturing wild Pokémon is related to the quality and type of the Poké Ball, as well as the state of the Pokémon.

If the Pokémon itself is willing to be captured, it is naturally the most ideal and can be 100% successful. If the ambitious Pokémon has some resistance in its heart, it is necessary to reduce the opponent's physical strength to increase the success rate. In addition, the negative state can also increase the success rate of capture.

Seeing that the "Sandshrew" was drowsy, Guan Liyuan immediately took out a dark green Poké Ball...

After shooting a green light and covering the "Sandshrew", the opponent disappeared on the spot, and the green Poké Ball in Guan Liyuan's hand shook, and then flashed a sound effect representing a successful capture!

"Is this... a dark ball? It has a higher success rate at night or in a cave! But it's a bit wasteful. In fact, the success rate of using a normal ball just now is not low." Xiaoxia recognized Guan Liyuan's Poké Ball.

This is not the same thing as the "dark ball" used by Team Rocket's Bixias. It is a regular Poké Ball with special bonuses.

"It's good that it succeeded..." Guan Liyuan said as he released the Sandshrew again, and then sprayed it with a panacea to remove various abnormal conditions.

The Sandshrew, which was a little more energetic, still had some resistance to Guan Liyuan. It was not until Guan Liyuan had a high-level wound medicine to restore its physical strength that it behaved a little more friendly.

Seeing this, Guan Liyuan also put his hand on its head...

[Hello, can you take me out of this cave, or help me dig a hole out? ]

[Huh? A human who can communicate? ]

[Not only can we communicate! After I get out, if you want to come back, I can let you go back, or go on an adventure with me. If you choose the latter... you can become stronger! 】

Guan Liyuan said, silently throwing a "potential stimulation" to the Sandshrew.

The effect of just one "potential stimulation" is not very obvious, but the "Sandshrew" can clearly feel it!

The Sandshrew, which was originally sitting with its legs spread apart, suddenly sat up and nodded quickly to Guan Liyuan.

"Huh? How did you communicate with it? It's so fast..." Xiaoxia asked in confusion.

The ability of "mind communication" can only enable the trainer and Pokémon to understand each other, making it easier to improve the favorability and easier to train...

But being able to make the Sandshrew "bow down" so quickly, Xiaoxia is of course curious about what Guan Liyuan said.

"Maybe it's because I'm a pure person!" Guan Liyuan said with emotion.

Then he found that Xiaoxia approached Charmander a few steps...

"Huh? What are you doing next to Charmander?"

"Roasting by the fire, I suddenly feel so cold!"

"..."

After that, the "Sandshrew" led Guan Liyuan and Xiaoxia and moved in the cave.

On the way, Guan Liyuan also asked Xiaoxia why, after evaluating the "Sandrat", he found that the other party's level should be only around level 12, but it possessed the "digging" skill that can only be possessed by those above level 30...

"Sure enough... You actually don't read very much, right?"

Xiaoxia looked at him with a caring look, which made Guan Liyuan speechless. It seemed that he was told this before in the second world!

"There are three ways for Pokémon to learn skills. One is inheritance, one is inheritance, and the other is acquired learning... 'Inheritance' refers to the fact that the offspring of some powerful Pokémon individuals have a certain chance of having some of their parents' skills at birth;

'Inheritance' refers to the skills recorded in the Pokémon's bloodline. As the Pokémon becomes stronger, they will gradually awaken. This is also one of the reasons why we give Pokémon the concept of level...

And 'learning' refers to the skills that Pokémon can learn and master after birth. Some 'inherited' and 'inherited' skills overlap with the scope of 'learning'. Pokémon captured by trainers can learn skills through skill recordings, learning devices, etc. Wild Pokémon can also learn skills from other Pokémon, but the efficiency is not as high as the purposeful training of trainers!

However, in the Digger Hole, I don't know how many Diggers and Sandshrews are using the 'Digging Hole' skill. I'm afraid that all Pokémon that can learn this skill have already learned it."

Guan Liyuan compared the plots and settings in some animations and games that he saw before crossing over, and understood some of the similarities and differences...

"Speaking of which, some skill training seems to be necessary!" Guan Liyuan muttered.

"But skill training has higher requirements for trainers, otherwise it is better to let Pokémon quickly improve their strength and use 'inheritance' to awaken skills." Xiaoxia reminded.

While the two were talking, Sandshrew led them to a "dead end" and then squeaked at Guan Liyuan...

Guan Liyuan touched its head and said to Xiaoxia after a while: "After it uses 'digging', we will quickly follow it. It will control the effect of 'digging' to about ten minutes." After that ,

the Sandshrew dug a passage that was just big enough for one person to crawl into the dead end, with a 45-degree angle upwards.

Guan Liyuan asked Charmander to follow the Sandshrew to illuminate it, and then Xiaoxia crawled behind Charmander, and he followed behind at the end...

The "digging hole" can last for ten minutes, which is longer and more energy-consuming than the "digging hole" used in battle, but the speed of the Sandshrew is faster than Guan Liyuan imagined. He and Xiaoxia climbed up with all their strength, but they could only barely keep up.

Moreover, when they saw the light of day again, Guan Liyuan and Xiaoxia were already panting. If they couldn't reach the ground again, Guan Liyuan would have to let the "Sandshrew" slow down!

"Huh! Finally out!" Xiaoxia, who was covered in dust, slapped the ground in a big letter.

After a while, she seemed to remember something and sat up and asked, "By the way! Suicune, Suicune! Tell me quickly, what does Suicune look like? Is it really like in the illustrated book, with such a big sapphire on the top of the head?"

Most of the images of the mythical beasts in the illustrated book are not complete, and some even have only some pictures with poor effects.

While Guan Liyuan was describing Suicune to Xiaoxia, he also asked Sandshrew about Suicune...

"I see..."

"How is it? Did Sandshrew see Suicune?"

"It didn't see it with its own eyes, but it heard from other Digletts and Sandshrews that Suicune went to stop them... Because according to their current 'digging' direction, they might destroy the water veins of the Evergreen Forest in the future, so Suicune pointed them in a new direction." Guan Liyuan said.

"To protect the water veins of the Evergreen Forest? Legend has it that Suicune is the incarnation of wind and the guardian of water... Is it true? I really want to see it with my own eyes..." Xiaoxia sighed.

As for why the Johto beast Suicune appeared in the Kanto region, it was not surprising, after all, the two places are right next to each other!

Just when Guan Liyuan was re-determining his current location, Professor Oak took the initiative to send a private message...

[The research has results! ]
