Chapter 1033: Quaking Earth Titan

West Province (Area One).

It connects to the Asado Desert in the north, but is blocked by a towering cliff.

To get in, one can only detour to Cascarrafa in the far east, or be tough and climb over the mountain.

All Baimu naturally wouldn't do that. He was very interested in Kofu, the Gym Leader of Cascarrafa, and planned to go to this master chef's restaurant to book a table first.

After meeting up with Arven and solving the Titan, he would come back to taste the other's craft.

A chef who could be close friends with Brassius must be pretty good; the desserts of Kofu's apprentice, Katy, were very good.

Mawile rated the taste as being in its top five dessert rankings.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to Penny and the others, he arrived at the water town of Cascarrafa without stopping.

Viewed from a high place, the buildings with blue as the main tone appeared quiet and soft.

The huge city was divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. The top level was the commercial street, the Gym, etc., and the middle and lower levels were living areas combined with entertainment areas.

Huge fountain sprays splashed in the city square, forming a sharp contrast with the vast desert with flying sand in the far distance.

"It should be in the east..."

All Baimu recalled the scene in the simulation when the dancer encountered that Great Tusk.

He remembered a circle of giant rocks surrounding that area.

And "Great Tusk," without a doubt, was the real name of the Quaking Earth Titan he learned about through magazines in the academy library.

One point that made him very curious was that Great Tusk escaped from Area Zero, so was it that big to begin with?

Wouldn't there be herds of giant beasts in Area Zero!

After all, the Tamer's simulation indicated that Herba Mystica came from Area Zero; it couldn't possibly be planted in special spots outside.

All Baimu became more and more curious about the mysterious Great Crater of Paldea.

Kofu's restaurant was named Chinese Restaurant Kofu Club, and the signature dishes were seafood cuisine—

Namely, Veluza fish meat and the crab claw meat of Crabominable and Clauncher.

Unfortunately, due to material constraints.

Not everyone had this good fortune.

All Baimu glanced at the time; the possibility of eating the seafood signature dish by booking dinner temporarily wasn't high, but as long as it was on the menu, ordinary dishes also reflected the chef's level.

The restaurant's address was on the east side of the top level, very close to the Gym building.

The Paldea region, like the Galar region, had much stricter constraints on Gyms than other regions, and even the exterior facades of the Gyms were very uniform.

All Baimu took several looks as he passed by.

The restaurant wasn't big, and the decor was Chinese-style just like its name, but it also used a lot of blue elements.

Ding-ding~

"Please come in!"

A thick voice came from inside.

He pushed the door and entered, seeing the owner—Gym Leader Kofu—at a glance.

Bald head, big apron, plus dark blue and white eyebrows and a beard, all were Kofu's iconic images.

Is highlights a fashion in Paldea? Even if you don't have hair, you have to find a way to dye some.

"Hey! Finally waited for you!"

Kofu didn't wait for him to speak, took the lead, walked over enthusiastically, and reached out: "Brassius's top disciple, All Baimu?"

"... It's me. Long time no see, Chef Kofu."

All Baimu was speechless, shaking hands politely.

Unexpectedly, Kofu's palm suddenly exerted force, clamping down like a pair of pliers, as if to give him a show of strength.

Hmm?

He used a little force, and within two seconds, he felt the other's muscles relax, so he let go.

Kofu hurriedly put his hand behind his back and laughed loudly: "Not bad, not bad! The young man has a lot of strength in his hands! A good material for flipping the wok!"

Flipping the wok...

All Baimu's face was covered in black lines, understanding that this was the reason the other tested him. "You flatter me."

"Have you eaten? If not, I'll whip something up for you! Let you taste my craft!" Kofu said generously, but inside he was shocked that the young man's hand strength was really great.

He almost broke his bones!

Seeing no strange color on his face, All Baimu said: "Thanks for the kindness, if possible, please leave it for the evening.

"I want to dine in your restaurant with my friend, can you save us a seat."

Kofu: "Evening? Sure!"

The seat was booked just like that.

All Baimu originally wanted to look at the menu, but Kofu said there was no need; the dishes served in the shop all depended on the ingredients of the day, and he cooked whatever was in the market.

Chinese Omakase?

"Want to go to the market together?"

Kofu laughed: "Your teacher must have taught you how to pick materials!"

All Baimu was a bit tempted, but had to refuse: "Sorry Chef Kofu, I have other important matters during the day..."

"Is that so."

Kofu looked slightly disappointed.

He was a person with a passion for education, and the visit of his friend's top disciple made him want to give some pointers.

Of course.

Kofu wouldn't be tactless enough to put on the posture of an elder, and told All Baimu to put the matter aside. "Alright then, see you tonight!"

"See you tonight!"

All Baimu waved goodbye.

Not long after walking out of the restaurant, Kofu chased after him and threw him a big bag. "Homemade snacks! Eat them on the road!"

"... Thank you."

All Baimu opened the bag and saw that it was full of neatly arranged large sheets of seaweed, and couldn't help but salivate.

In his previous life, he especially liked eating this stuff.

Got on the elevator.

All the way to the bottom level, the wide water park connected to the boundless desert.

'Where are you?'

He sent a message to Arven.

Upon delivery, Porygon2 took the opportunity to locate the other's current position.

Half-data life is just that buggy, traveling freely through the network, and the speed of going to the other side of the ocean only depends on whether the signal is smooth.

"Here."

Porygon2 marked a symbol on the mobile map, and at the same time explained that Arven was currently in a small sandstorm area, hiding in a rock cave with Cyclizar.

"Let's go!"

All Baimu put down his phone and rode Miraidon.

The cyber giant lizard let out an excited low cry and sped toward the desert like lightning.

——

The sandstorm howled.

Arven pushed his backpack against the cave entrance to prevent sand from invading.

Cyclizar lay obediently, smacking its lips, still savoring the food from last night and this morning.

Sometimes there are good things about working in the field!

Hum!

The phone vibrated.

Arven took it out and looked. "Already solved? So fast!"

He thought All Baimu would be busy for at least a day. Seeing this message, he immediately replied:

'The Titan hasn't been found yet. You go stroll and play in Cascarrafa first, and come find me when you see me.'

When he was very young, he had played in the water park in Cascarrafa with his parents, which had always been his precious memory.

Unfortunately...

Arven sighed.

When alone, he would always think about why he was left behind, did he do something wrong?

There was no answer.

Even contacting them was very difficult.

He had planned to enter Area Zero to question them in person, but he didn't even reach the place before Mabosstiff was seriously injured.

Arven sadly covered his forehead. Cyclizar felt the low pressure coming from his side and carefully leaned over.

"Gah?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Arven pushed Cyclizar away; long-term solitary living made him unwilling to expose his fragile side in front of others.

Except for Mabosstiff.

This Pokémon, which grew up with him and was no different from family.

Arven was about to look through the gap to see if the sandstorm outside had lessened, when he suddenly caught sight of an eye looking in.

"Eee!!"

He was so scared that his face turned pale and he retreated several steps, his back against Cyclizar, his legs kicking wildly.

Cyclizar was scared by him and also looked outside in panic.

Immediately.

The backpack moved away, and a familiar face appeared against the light.

"Why are you so timid?"

All Baimu scratched his face awkwardly. He just looked in on a whim; who knew Arven would happen to look out through that crack.

When Arven saw it was him, the fear turned into anger, and he said viciously: "Don't play like that!"

"Oops, didn't mean to."

All Baimu laughed, reaching out to pull him up.

Arven calmed his mood and asked: "How did you find me? Didn't you just send me a message?"

"Ten minutes or so, Miraidon is quite fast, and Porygon2 can also locate." He explained casually.

Miraidon next to him raised its head proudly.

It might be a bit lacking in fighting, but in terms of speed, it is absolutely unrivaled!

Outside.

The overwhelming sandstorm had already dissipated.

Amidst the rolling yellow sand, Ground-type wild Pokémon like Hippopotas and Krokorok popped their heads out.

"Let's go, all the way east!"

He flipped onto the lizard, and Arven also put on his backpack and followed with Cyclizar.

Continue east according to the region.

Not long after, when no more wild Pokémon could be seen around, and a booming sound came faintly.

All Baimu knew the destination was near.

Sure enough.

After bypassing a rock, both of them saw the behemoth at the same time.

Huge and exaggerated tusks, a red dorsal fin from nose to back, a thick giant tail, quite similar to Donphan, yet completely different.

"That guy... why does it look a bit familiar?"

Arven asked suspiciously.

All Baimu nodded. "It's right that it looks familiar. Its real name is Great Tusk. If I'm not mistaken, it should come from Area Zero."

Arven's pupils widened. "Area Zero!"

That's right!

The aura on this guy is exactly the same as those monsters in Area Zero!

But how could it appear in the Asado Desert?

And it even became the Quaking Earth Titan!

Miraidon also showed some shrinking, clearly having been traumatized by the guys in Area Zero.

"I'm going up, you're responsible for covering." All Baimu said to Arven.

Arven hurriedly reached out and said: "Wait! You—you be careful, those guys in Area Zero are not easy to deal with."

Mabosstiff's encounter was still fresh in his memory, but he also understood that All Baimu was different; he was a Champion.

The strongest Trainer in a region.

All Baimu smiled at him. "Don't worry, I'll be quick."

Great Tusk, or Ancient Donphan, this type of Pokémon should actually be no different from Ultra Beasts.

"It's up to you."

Bang!

"Chee-do."

Mawile fell into All Baimu's arms. Seeing the giant object in the distance, it only felt it was comparable to the Steelix at home.

However.

A matter of one punch!

All Baimu drove Miraidon forward. The timid lizard closed its eyes and rushed forward, terrified but unable to refuse.

In an instant.

Colorful light flowed on Miraidon's back.

Mega Mawile suddenly leaped up, electricity surrounding its body, making it hover in mid-air.

It rotated and summoned countless transparent sword blades, flew onto a rock, and looked at Great Tusk, which was almost level with the rock.

What a behemoth!

Mega Mawile was rarely stirred to a competitive spirit.

"Roar-oh?"

Seeming to notice the intrusion of the uninvited guest, Great Tusk turned sideways to look. When it discovered Mega Mawile, it didn't hesitate to bend its body into a giant roller and rush forward!

Rumble—!!

Sand and dust flew into the sky!

The entire desert seemed to be stirred by its big move, and the booming sound was exceptionally clear even to Arven's ears!

Bam!

The rock shattered, completely unable to block Great Tusk's pace.

But when it stopped moving and looked around, Mega Mawile was nowhere to be seen.

"Roar-oh?"

Hum!

A powerful pressure came from overhead.

Great Tusk raised its long nose to look high up, suddenly seeing a pastel-colored comet falling from the sky!

No sooner said than done, without giving it any time to react, it crashed onto its back!

Play Rough!

Thud!

The terrifying air wave suddenly spread, lifting up walls of dust and sand that bombarded the rock pillars scattered around!

Under All Baimu's care, Miraidon, who didn't face the opponent directly and hid behind the rocks, was stunned, only feeling that even in its prime, it would be seriously injured if hit by this punch.

"Gah-roar..."

"Dragon-types shouldn't watch Fairy-type battles; it's easy to leave psychological shadows."

All Baimu stroked its side face.

He had checked the data of this guy with the Pokédex before, and the estimated energy level was 87, not as good as the level 90 Calyrex.

But just based on this level, it's not hard to see that it's definitely not some common Pokémon, and the status of a cover legendary is barely maintained.

If Mega Mawile hits it...

Two punches or so?

Who let Miraidon also be a Dragon-type Pokémon.

Arven leaned over from a distance, exclaiming: "Is that your Ace? So powerful!"

He just saw Mega Mawile like a robot, the giant jaws behind its head spraying colorful stars and pink energy straight into the sky, and then crashing down.

It really caused him a certain impact.

If he also had this strength, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the deepest part of Area Zero, right?

"Ace... that's not it."

All Baimu smiled, seeing the wind and sand in the distance dissipate, and waved: "It should be over, let's go over and take a look."

Arven responded.

Only to see that in the chaotic rock formation, in a huge semi-circular pit, the Quaking Earth Titan had spiral eyes, clearly defeated in one hit.

Just like the Stony Cliff Titan before, it didn't even manage to open its second phase.

"Where is the Herba Mystica?"

All Baimu suddenly realized that only this guy knew the location of the Herba Mystica.

Arven observed around, but couldn't find anything suspicious.

The two had to wait for the Quaking Earth Titan to wake up.

"You have to be careful, the ferocity of Pokémon from Area Zero far exceeds ordinary Pokémon, don't get hurt."

Arven saw All Baimu was idle, ran into the pit to touch Great Tusk, and said worriedly.

All Baimu: "Okay."

Then he started taking photos with Great Tusk.

This Pokémon, honestly, is big and handsome. If it could be captured, he really wanted to raise one.

Unfortunately, it is a Titan guarding the Herba Mystica.

All Baimu wouldn't do things like draining the pond to catch all the fish.

There should be Great Tusk in Area Zero, right? I wonder if the size is the same.

He felt one of the reasons he found Great Tusk pleasing to the eye was its exaggerated size.

No way, giant beast lovers are like this.

Which of the Pokémon at home hasn't been raised tall and strong by him?

Each one is far beyond its peers, like Aggron's average height of 2.1 meters, almost raised to over 3 meters by him!

The juvenile Hydreigon, body length 3.2 meters, is more than 1.5 times that of its peers.

Such examples are too numerous to mention.
