Chapter 307: Ahhh!

"Huo La, don't complain, the Great Niu La's basket is actually quite comfortable to sit in."

On the cliff wall, four Great Niu La each bore a basket, and inside the baskets were Beishang, Huo La, Ming Yao and Xiao Zhao.

Huo La yawned; yesterday he absorbed the Great Niu La's Interdimensional Energy, which was unbelievably successful, yet his own fatigue still remained.

In the basket he sat in, Beishang had deliberately thickened the cushion to make it more comfortable, and the one carrying him underneath was naturally the Great Niu La King.

It must be said that the power and stability of this Pokemon, the Great Niu La, are extremely strong; averaging about 1.5 meters in height, it can even bear a basket large enough for an adult to sit in, and this core strength is truly formidable.

"Mr. Beishang, if we cross over this peak, will we reach the place where Mu Chun Field Master and the Mischievous Rocket are?" Ming Yao's both hands clenched the basket rim tightly, his voice weak and breathless.

Before Beishang could speak, Xiao Zhao laughed and said, "Ming Yao, I never expected you to be afraid of heights, hehe."

Ming Yao's face tightened, he gritted his teeth and defended, "I didn't, I just... I just..."

Beishang timely spoke to ease the tension: "Beyond that is the Yingyue Battlefield, at most ten more minutes."

As soon as the words fell, a thunderous boom erupted, the entire peak shook violently, and shattered rocks clattered down the mountain.

"Watch out, rock slide! Hold onto the basket tightly!" Beishang immediately warned.

Huo La and the other two quickly gripped the basket rim tightly.

Almost at the same instant, the Great Niu La beneath them suddenly sped up, its four claws kicking off the sheer wall as it raced toward the summit.

"Wow—so thrilling! Higher—" Xiao Zhao shouted excitedly.

"Ah—ah—" Ming Yao cried out in fear.

Huo La simply held the basket steadily, his expression relatively calm.

Beishang wore an even calmer face, as if already accustomed to such scenes.

The Great Niu La burst into a rapid sprint, and in the blink of an eye they reached the summit that was still some distance away.

Seeing the Great Niu La halt, Xiao Zhao pursed his lips slightly: "We reached the top so quickly."

Ming Yao trembled as he opened his eyes, realizing they were already standing steadily on the summit, and only then did he slowly exhale.

Huo La looked down at the mountain hollow and saw a thick plume of smoke drifting up, faintly hearing the noisy chatter of a crowd.

"That there is the Diamond Team's Yingyue Battlefield," Beishang lifted his hand, peered over the canopy, "It seems the Mischievous Rockets just self‑detonated."

"Self‑detonate?" Xiao Zhao tilted his head, a puzzled expression on his face.

Beishang nodded: "Mischievous Rockets and Thunderbolt Balls, such Pokemon, will self‑detonate when their emotions become agitated."

"Especially now this raging Mischievous Rocket King, which makes the whole flock irritable. So... the current Mischievous Rocket swarm, led by the frenzied leader, is a bunch of ticking time bombs that could explode at any moment."

"Eek, how terrifying," Xiao Zhao shivered instantly.

"Ah... indeed terrifying," Huo La sighed helplessly.

He immediately understood that to deal with the Mischievous Rocket King, they would inevitably have to bear the risk of explosion, and the risk was considerable.

In later generations, A Ju of the Light Red Gym also treated the self‑detonation of Mischievous Rockets and Thunderbolt Balls as Ninja "tools," but that was still within controllable limits; however, this raging Mischievous Rocket King, Hisui, is simply incomparable.

"Let's go, don't waste any time," Beishang said, "The Mischievous Rockets just self‑detonated, it's temporarily safe now; let's use this gap to head to the Diamond Team and find Mu Chun."

He finished and glanced at Ming Yao: "Hold on tighter, what's coming next will be even more thrilling."

As soon as the words ended, the Great Niu La beneath him leapt downwards, sprinting several meters in the blink of an eye.

"Whoa, Great Niu La, let's go!" Xiao Zhao urged excitedly.

The Great Niu La beneath her immediately set off, chasing after Beishang.

Huo La glanced at the pale‑faced Ming Yao, sighed, "Just wish yourself luck; endure it and it'll pass."

His words just finished when the Great Niu La beneath Ming Yao had already leapt forward, followed closely by a series of Ming Yao's wailing cries.

Amid those cries, the Great Niu La King beneath Huo La also vaulted fiercely, racing toward the mountain hollow.

—————

Inside a hidden cave in the Tian Guan Mountain Foothills.

Wang Luo cleared his ears, gazed at the Great Diamond Ore, Great White Treasure Jade and Origin Ore the Three Bandit Sisters had brought back, a hint of surprise on his face.

"I didn't expect you three could actually bring back these three items,"

A Song stared at the three items before him, his expression complex: "Honestly, I didn't expect I could hold my own against Bei Li La, and still manage to bring the items out successfully."

"I also didn't expect I could beat the Pearl Team like that, it was exhilarating," A Mei clenched her fists, a satisfied grin on her face.

"Boosting Pokemon's strength this way... really has no side effects?" A Zhu asked anxiously.

Wang Luo looked at her, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth: "Naturally not. Besides, the items are already used up; even if there were, it's too late now."

A Zhu let out a soft sigh, saying no more.

A Song stepped forward: "We've brought you the items, what exactly do you need them for?"

"What use?" Wang Luo lifted the Great Diamond Ore and Great White Treasure Jade, not intending to hide anything, "If I said these two could make the Sinnoh Almighty, worshipped by the Diamond Team and Pearl Team, obey me, would you believe it?"

Those words caused the Three Bandit Sisters' faces to change instantly, their gazes toward the jade in Wang Luo's hand turning fervent.

"How... how could that be possible!" A Song blurted.

"Nothing's impossible," Wang Luo said lightly, setting down the two jade pieces, then picking up the Origin Ore, "As for this... it's a Master Ball, no, it should be called an Origin Ball."

"What ball?" A Mei asked, her face full of doubt as she watched his actions.

Wang Luo glanced at the three, then suddenly said, "Do me another favor."

"What's the benefit?" A Song immediately asked.

Wang Luo looked at her, smiled: "The benefit... you can take those two jade pieces."

"Ah!" A Mei exclaimed as soon as those words left his mouth.

"You mean, those two jade that can control the Sinnoh Almighty, you're really giving them to us?" A Song, being the eldest sister, forced her excitement down and asked calmly.

"Yes." Wang Luo spread his hand, his tone casual, "These items are treasures to you, but to me they're optional. I let you take them out simply because I didn't want to keep them for the Diamond Team or Pearl Team; as for what you do with them... I really don't care."

A Song stared intently at the two jade before her, pondered a moment, then nodded heavily: "We can agree. But you must tell us the exact usage of these two jade, word for word."

"No problem," Wang Luo replied cheerfully.
