Chapter 581: Impossible, how could a dragon look so casual!

Miraidon's appearance indeed shocked Lance and Clair greatly.

Who would have thought that this little guy who looked like he was guarding the door for Master Yu's gym was actually a noble Dragon-type Pokémon?

And Master Yu shouldn't lie; since he said so, it proves that Miraidon is indeed likely a unique individual at present…

Although it looks completely devoid of majesty and looks more like a big dog than a dragon, if you think about it carefully, aren't the personalities of many Dragonites the same as it, very close to humans?

It makes sense.

Lance thought so in his heart, seemingly understanding a bit of what Qingyu meant by "a dragon that can bring you surprises."

At first, it indeed made him feel a bit unbelievable, but it was still far from shocking.

Lance nodded soon, no longer entangled in the Miraidon in front of him.

After his gaze swept around the Sunshine Gym, his eyes soon locked on Mewtwo, who was practicing not far away with Pokémon.

Noticing the scene over there, Lance was actually a bit dazed for a moment.

From the record files later discovered in the underground laboratory of the Viridian Gym, it can be known that this Pokémon was an artificial Pokémon created by Giovanni for his own selfish desires by fusing human and Mew genes.

Because of the experience at the Viridian Gym, when he first saw it, Mewtwo clearly held defenses against humans, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was malicious.

Initially, Lance was quite troubled about how to deal with such a Pokémon that might turn evil at any time.

Seeing that its compatibility with Qingyu seemed quite good, Lance finally decided decisively to hand this Pokémon over to Qingyu to cultivate.

As a League Elite Four and Chief Investigator, he still had this authority.

Currently, the effect seems quite good.

And it seems that it has also made Mewtwo interested in becoming a trainer?

For it and the clone Pokémon, it should be considered the best destination…

As expected of Master Yu, he is indeed very meticulous.

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but show a smile.

Whether it is Bagon or this group of clones who have been hurt by Team Rocket and have only experienced the evil of human nature, handing them over to Qingyu to deal with is indeed the most correct choice.

Just at this moment, Clair's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Speaking of which, is there something hanging behind this Bagon's neck?"

For this honest and cute Bagon, Clair had no resistance at all and was playing with it together with Dragonite.

When Dragonite held it high and threw it into the sky and caught it, she also soon noticed the necklace hanging on the back of Bagon's neck.

And a very eye-catching round gemstone.

If she remembered correctly… this should be the Mega Stone from the Hoenn region, right?

Lance also noticed this Mega Stone.

The Salamence that Bagon evolves into is indeed one of the Pokémon confirmed to have Mega Evolution, and the game has also synchronized the data of these Pokémon.

Known for its brutality, its combat power had a qualitative leap after Mega Evolution, and its ability was also changed to Aerilate, which is more suitable for the title of "King of the Sky."

Compared to the other pseudo-legendary from the Sinnoh region, it is indeed considered very lucky.

However, at least they still have evolutionary potential, while Dragonite has no news at all.

One can only pray that the joint research between the Devon Corporation and Professor Sycamore of the Kalos region can produce new results, and that among the newly discovered batch of fossils, there happens to be a Mega Stone that matches Dragonite…

The possibility is actually not high, but at least there is still some hope, right?

Lance sighed.

If Dragonite could also Mega Evolve, that would be great…

Compared to using the Terastallization recommended by Qingyu, Mega Evolution feels cooler and more matches the power of a dragon.

Dragonite's Mega Evolution would definitely become more powerful and look more majestic, right?

……

"The gym is temporarily handed over to you, Mewtwo!"

After resting and chatting with the two guests from afar for a while, Qingyu prepared to set off for Casseroya Lake.

With Mewtwo joining the gym, Qingyu no longer needs to close the gym and ask for leave when going out; he can just let this gym apprentice take the lead and use the rented Pokémon to assess the newcomers.

Anyway, the Pokémon in the gym all have very clear tactical awareness, and each one makes the newcomers who come to challenge them hate them to the teeth.

So even if Mewtwo is still a bit "noob" now, he can rely on their own level to deal with challengers.

Thus, the automated gym plan that Qingyu originally envisioned has been realized by more than half without knowing it, just waiting for Mewtwo to slowly grow into a qualified trainer, it seems he, the gym leader, can be a hands-off manager from now on and hand the gym directly to the Pokémon.

It sounds ridiculous, but it seems there is indeed a certain feasibility…

Mewtwo, entrusted by Qingyu, still sat in front of the battle field, nodding slightly at Qingyu who was about to set off.

In fact, he was also quite puzzled—

He hadn't been at the Sunshine Gym for many days, yet Qingyu actually let him guard the gym alone so confidently?

However, Mewtwo didn't hate this trust.

At the Sunshine Gym, the emotions Mewtwo received were all ones he had never experienced at the Viridian Gym, and because of this, he gradually understood what Mew had said at the beginning.

Although he was a bit suspicious at first, Qingyu does seem to be a good person.

Mewtwo thought to himself, watching Qingyu put his Pokémon into balls, then ride on another Dragonite, and soon disappear into the sky.

……

Casseroya Lake is located on the west side of Glaseado Mountain, and geographically it also belongs to northern Paldea, so the journey from Cabo Poco to here is very long.

It even has to pass through the Asado Desert that Qingyu and Steven went to last time.

If Miraidon were used as a means of transport, it probably wouldn't be able to finish a round trip without a box of sandwiches.

But fortunately, Lance cultivated two Dragonites at the same time, so this time there is no need for the high-fuel-consumption Miraidon to go out.

Perhaps for this reason, when putting Miraidon into the ball, Miraidon soon showed a "little cat face," staring straight at him with resentful little eyes.

As if to say:

I just eat a little bit, why is there no business for me!

Do you have other means of transport outside?

Miraidon with emotions, I'm afraid it won't be cured without dozens of sandwiches mixed with things…

However, this trip to Casseroya Lake originally had the purpose of finding the last seasoning, and Qingyu had originally planned to take his Pokémon for a picnic along the way.

It's all a matter of convenience.

Riding on Dragonite, Qingyu looked down at Paldea from the sky, and his mood improved a lot.

The color difference between the various blocks of Paldea is extremely obvious.

(Paldea aerial view)

The central part is a hollow black void, while the southern region, mainly Mesagoza, is mostly towns where humans live, and the whole is mostly plains and rivers.

And after passing Mesagoza and the Area Zero void, the scenery on both sides changed suddenly, turning into a scorching desert and a dark mining area.

Looking forward to the northern end, Glaseado Mountain, which is not very high, seems to be still some distance away.

The destination of their trip is at the foot of Glaseado Mountain.
