Chapter 1174: Exploration of the Augusto Mountains

Outside the Augusto Mountains, Su Hao asked Marshadow in the shadow: "Senior Marshadow, you can let Carbink out."

As the words fell, the shadow under Su Hao's feet squirmed, and in an instant, a Carbink was "spit out" by the shadow.

Carbink really wanted to curse at Marshadow, but in the end, it stopped because of the realization that "Marshadow is an acquaintance of Her Majesty the Queen," and looked at Su Hao angrily.

"Sorry, I'll have to trouble you to lead the way next."

Su Hao smiled, touched Carbink's head, and coaxed it until it was dizzy. Before long, Carbink was leading him toward the interior of the mountains with high spirits.

Although he met Carbink near the jurisdiction of the Dynamax Pokémon tour park last time, they couldn't enter the mountains directly from the park. Not to mention whether this would attract the attention of others, the park would definitely stop him.

Fortunately, the Augusto Mountains are a popular dangerous place for trainers to exercise and challenge themselves. There are still ways to enter the Augusto Mountains from other places.

Taking Carbink with him, Su Hao completely entered the interior from a wild area bordering the Augusto Mountains. He refused the invitations of some trainers he met by chance and, under Carbink's guidance, soon arrived in front of a cave.

The Pokémon responsible for fighting wild Pokémon around Su Hao had already changed several batches, and now Zeraora was by his side.

Following Su Hao on an adventure in the wild for the first time, Zeraora's expression was very excited, feeling that everything was novel.

Before entering the cave, Su Hao's gaze fell on Zeraora. After a short period of exercise, although Zeraora's changes didn't seem too big, its combat experience had become much richer.

The Plasma Fists practiced with Incineroar had also been mastered. Now Zeraora can use electric current to stimulate muscles to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body.

However, Zeraora didn't blindly increase muscle strength like Incineroar, but focused more on the field it was good at—that is, speed.

Looking at the Pokémon in Su Hao's team, Zeraora, which had maxed out its agility, was among the best in speed. Once its strength caught up and it mastered Plasma Fists more proficiently, learning to set up a special magnetic field around itself, its strength would usher in an explosive period.

The cave Carbink brought Su Hao to looked unremarkable, dark inside, surrounded by weeds. It could be seen that basically no one came in or out, and it looked like the nest of some Pokémon that liked to live in caves.

Carbink explained this: "Our Ore Kingdom is deep underground beneath this mountain range and is guarded by the power of the Sacred Diamond. Almost no one can reach it. These caves are just one of the roads to the large underground cave."

Su Hao nodded and looked at Zeraora. Without Su Hao saying much, it entered the cave first, raised its head, and sensed: "The airflow is flowing, leading all the way to the depths."

Carbink was a bit strange as to why Su Hao still let Zeraora detect the direction of the surrounding airflow. Su Hao explained: "I am a human after all, and breathing is an essential behavior. If oxygen is scarce in the cave, hypoxia may occur."

Carbink nodded knowingly: "The large underground cave connects many passages and exits, and there are many of you humans digging for ore inside. Oxygen problems shouldn't be a concern."

Entering the cave and starting to explore deep inside, Su Hao was worried about whether Carbink would get lost because of the complex terrain of the cave. To this, Carbink's answer was no.

The Sacred Diamond aura on their bodies exists for this reason. Every Carbink baptized by the Sacred Diamond has the ability to identify the direction to the Ore Kingdom and will never get lost.

Carbink learned the Flash move. With it, Su Hao didn't even need to take out a flashlight. Just like this, he passed through the cave with an indescribable smell and moved toward the underground.

After a while, the narrow passage gradually became spacious, and in the Aura Su Hao extended, reactions of other Auras began to appear.

Su Hao whispered a reminder: "Be vigilant, there are traces of many wild Pokémon ahead."

According to the direction Carbink led, encountering wild Pokémon was probably unavoidable.

"Aura!"

Several electric currents flashed on Zeraora's whiskers, and it stood ready.

Marshadow observed from above in the shadow. To prevent encountering other humans by accident, it would not leave the shadow when outside.

And with the combat power of Su Hao and the Pokémon, solving some wild Pokémon was still no problem.

"Carbink, get behind me."

After passing a bend, Su Hao "looked" at the dense Aura reactions in front of him in the Aura and said in a deep voice.

Carbink, whose diamonds were shining, immediately hid behind Su Hao. Its strength was not strong, and being able to run from the Ore Kingdom to the top all the way could only be said that its luck was very good.

After all, it even dodged those insects that flew very fast and couldn't communicate. However, if it encountered some Pokémon that had great malice toward it, it was not certain whether it could return to the Ore Kingdom.

"A group of Zubat and Golbat... numbering in the hundreds, Zeraora, I leave it to you."

Su Hao identified the dense dark blue bat-shaped Pokémon hanging on the top of the large cave not far away. They were Zubat and Golbat. Fortunately, there were no difficult opponents like Crobat that were very fast.

Passing through here was unavoidable to bump into them. Even if Carbink was allowed to extinguish the Flash move, the movement of their walking could be discovered by the Zubat that used ultrasonic waves to perceive the surrounding environment.

Carbink also said that if they wanted to go deeper into the underground cave to the Ore Kingdom, there was only this one road nearby. ===== CHAPTER 1175 =====
