Chapter 1179: Dominic Mining Company

"It's okay, I just happened to pass by." Su Hao shook his head, leaned on Metagross, frowned and asked: "How could you appear here, and you didn't even carry any Pokémon?"

Henry blinked, a bit puzzled: "This area is a mine contracted by the Dominic Company. The wild Pokémon nearby have been driven away. Even explorers like me don't have to worry about danger and can mine nearby."

"Little brother, didn't you enter from the entrance of the Dominic Company?"

Dominic?

Su Hao noticed the point, pointed to the passage leading to a larger space at the corner, and asked: "According to your meaning, passing through here will enter the mine that the Dominic Company is mining?"

Henry nodded.

This made Su Hao unable to figure it out. He frowned and thought for a while, and Aura spread toward that direction.

Soon, under the detection of Aura, the mysterious veil of the new space was torn off.

It was indeed a huge mine, or more accurately, a transit passage. Compared to the dark environment nearby, it was undoubtedly much brighter and full of traces of civilization.

The place was full of tracks leading to smaller tunnels deeper inside. Workers wearing miner hats took mine carts placed on the tracks to move toward the depths, or mine carts transporting mined ore drove out toward the outside.

"Actually mined to this place..."

Su Hao asked Carbink in the Aura channel again. Learning from the other party that the Ore Kingdom was still deep underground further away, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At least these miners couldn't reach that side.

However, thinking that the R Research Institute branch mentioned by Wilson might be somewhere underground, Su Hao's vigilance was raised again, and he said to Henry: "Should it be no problem for a trainer like me who is training underground to pass through there?"

Now that there is no Dragapult to open the passage to the Distortion World, it is difficult for him to move to a certain location secretly. Sometimes he has to meet these people.

"No problem, no problem!" Henry was stunned, nodded quickly to indicate no problem, "Because there are many abandoned tunnels leading to the deeper underground, trainers who are training don't have to worry as long as they don't enter the tunnels that are being mined. As long as you say hello to the person in charge, you can continue to explore downward!"

"I happen to know the person in charge, I can help you mention it to them!"

For Henry, Su Hao is his savior, and he is very happy to help with such a small matter.

In the end, Su Hao agreed to Henry's volunteering, followed him to this transit cave, and chatted with the person in charge here.

Probably because of Henry, the attitude of the person in charge was not enthusiastic, but he didn't make things difficult for Su Hao, and even gave Su Hao some suggestions and explained the environment nearby.

"If you want to capture Pokémon, I suggest you take the abandoned No. 7 tunnel, which leads to a large cave rich in wild Pokémon. If you want to challenge yourself to improve your strength, I suggest you take the abandoned No. 9 tunnel, where the strongest Pokémon are only Elite level..."

The person in charge paused, looked at the shiny Metagross beside Su Hao, and changed the subject: "If you have confidence in your strength, there are wild Pokémon of Professional or even Gym level in the No. 11 tunnel, most of which are Steel, Rock, and Ground types."

First nodding to thank the person in charge for giving him so many suggestions, Su Hao asked Carbink. Seeing its eyes cast toward the No. 7 tunnel, he said without hesitation: "Then I will take the No. 7 tunnel. It just so happens that my team lacks a suitable Ground-type Pokémon."

This sentence was half true and half false. Su Hao's team really lacked a Ground-type Pokémon, and it was not impossible to capture one if he met a suitable one. But his purpose for this trip was ultimately to visit Queen Diancie in the Ore Kingdom, give the other party the Diancieite, and strive for the inheritance opportunity of the Sacred Diamond for his own Diancie.

The person in charge was startled, looked at the Metagross beside Su Hao, looked around, confirmed that no one was staring at them, then leaned over and whispered: "Henry is my old friend for many years. Because you saved him, I will remind you."

"If you want to take the No. 7 tunnel, I suggest you put this shiny Metagross back into the Poké Ball and don't reveal it..."

"Why?"

Su Hao asked puzzledly.

"The company's heir is currently looking for a suitable Steel-type Pokémon to capture in that location. Your Metagross... is too rare, and the heir is a person who will not stop until he reaches his goal. It is not excluded that he will choose to rob it for this Metagross."

The person in charge was a bit embarrassed. If he was heard speaking ill of the heir behind his back, his job would definitely be lost, especially since the object he spoke ill of was that narrow-minded heir.

But he didn't want to see this young man who saved Henry be oppressed, so he could only remind him of this matter in a low voice.

Su Hao was surprised but also felt it was reasonable. After all, if he remembered correctly, the heir of the Dominic Company should be the one he met in Eindoak Town.

The other party was a playboy who came to provoke Su Hao just because he chatted with a woman whose name he couldn't remember. The person in charge might not have exaggerated.

Thinking for a while, adhering to the principle of trying not to attract attention, Su Hao put Metagross back into the Poké Ball and replaced it with Cyclizar to follow him.

After saying goodbye to the person in charge and Henry, along the abandoned No. 7 tunnel, Su Hao, Cyclizar, and Carbink stepped on the rusty tracks and moved toward the deeper underground.

On the way, Carbink seemed to remember something, and reminded Su Hao with a grave expression: "It's almost time to enter the area of those guys. Our actions must be more careful next."

Su Hao asked puzzledly: "What do you mean?"

Carbink said seriously: "The area below has a kind of difficult steel insect that flies very fast!"

Underground large cave, this is a paradise for wild Steel, Rock, and Ground-type Pokémon. Pokémon such as Aron, Drilbur, and Onix live in this isolated underground paradise. Even if explorers visit here occasionally, it will not cause too much impact on the life of the wild Pokémon here.

Ian Dominic, as the heir to the Dominic Company, is now having everything going his way.

More than a decade ago, the Dominic Company was just a small mining company in the British Alliance that was neither up nor down.

It wasn't until the British Alliance began to invest resources and convenience for mining companies that Ian's father, Charles Dominic, took advantage of this wind to develop the company. Until now, the Dominic Mining Company is one of the largest companies in the British Alliance.

Even a few years ago, contracting the mining rights of the Augusto Mountains, which has rich mineral deposits, made the status of the Dominic Mining Company rise.
