Chapter 582: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 283

Even at Dragonite's speed, it took about half an hour to get to Casseroya Lake.

"As expected, just as Master Yu said, the natural ecology of Paldea is a bit too good…"

After landing on the ground, Clair looked at the huge lake that stretched as far as the eye could see, and couldn't help but sigh.

Why are Dratini so rare in the Kanto region?

In fact, the lack of a clean lake large enough to provide them with living space is the main reason.

Both Dratini and Dragonair prefer to inhabit the water; it is said that the first human to discover them fished a Dratini up while angling.

Even after evolving into Dragonite, because of their clan, they prefer to stay and live near lakes.

It was precisely because they discovered this living habit of the Dratini family that the Dragon Tamer clan finally gained their friendship and established a habitat around the huge underground lake in the Dragon's Den, mastering the skills to control the power of dragons over a long period of time.

And this place is simply the perfect habitat for Dratini; Dratini, which are extremely picky about water sources, could not miss this treasure land known as "Casseroya Lake."

She suddenly understood a bit why Qingyu would jokingly say "there are more Dratini in Casseroya Lake than wild dogs on the side of the road."

Moreover, it seems that this lake also connects to several rivers; maybe Dratini can also flow downstream and spread directly to rivers throughout Paldea…

Just thinking about it makes people envious!

"……"

After landing, Lance also soon fell into silence.

The reason is simple; with his excellent eyesight, he even saw a Dragonair turning over in the lake just now, followed by several Dratini.

Unexpectedly, Dratini, which are so rare in Kanto and Johto and almost only visible to their Dragon Tamer clan, are not rare at all in Paldea?

While Lance clicked his tongue secretly, he also soon thought—

Dratini, which are so picky about their living environment, can survive in Casseroya Lake, so what about other Dragon-type Pokémon?

With such curiosity, Lance soon looked at Qingyu.

However, Qingyu's attention at this time was not on Casseroya Lake below, but raised his head, staring blankly at a crooked-neck tree not far away.

"Master Yu, what are you looking at?"

Clair, who was in a great mood, took the initiative to strike up a conversation, which made Qingyu withdraw his gaze and look at her with an inexplicable look.

"There is a Dragon-type Pokémon that is pretending to be an Applin on the tree."

After saying an inexplicable sentence, Clair and Lance's curiosity was instantly hooked.

Dragon-type Pokémon? Pretending to be an Applin?

Is this some kind of cold joke?

Lance and Clair looked at each other, seemingly unable to understand what Qingyu meant.

However, Qingyu seemed to be prepared for this, pointing his finger at the motionless "Applin" in the depths of the tree crown.

"Right there, if you don't believe me, I'll take a picture for you with the Pokedex."

While speaking, Qingyu had already taken out the special Pokedex gifted by Professor Oak from his pocket and aimed it at the Pokémon on the tree crown.

Special Pokedex?

Lance and Clair were obviously no strangers to it; as a special item that only newcomers recognized by Professor Oak can hold, the special Pokedex has an extremely important meaning in the hearts of many trainers.

It can be said that holding it is equivalent to gaining Professor Oak's approval.

However…

After all, it is Qingyu who has taught a lesson to all newcomers in the world; it doesn't seem strange that he can pass Professor Oak's test and get the special Pokedex.

So Lance didn't care about this.

Soon, the Pokedex in Qingyu's hand beeped.

【Applin, the Apple Core Pokémon, Grass + Dragon type】

【It looks like an unremarkable apple, but the exposed eyes and tail reveal its true identity.】

【Note: Although it looks completely like a bug, it does have the Dragon type, and its evolutionary method is closely related to the type of apple it inhabits!

——Recorder, Professor Magnolia】

(Applin and its evolutionary forms)

"……"

After hearing the broadcast from the Rotom inhabiting the Pokedex, Lance's eyes instantly became a bit confused.

This… this is a dragon?

Shouldn't Dragon-type Pokémon be very proud and incomparably powerful existences?

Then what is the situation with this little bug!

Even Druddigon would be better; it's just a green bug that hollowed out an apple as a disguise and lives inside, and it's also a dragon?

Impossible, how could a dragon look so casual!

The expression on Lance's face suddenly became rich, and there was even a sense of calm collapse.

Just at this moment, Qingyu spoke at the right time:

"Mr. Lance, stereotypes are not good~"

"To put it bluntly, what a Dragon-type Pokémon looks like is not actually defined by humans."

"So, let alone a dragon that looks like a bug, even a dragon that looks like a slime, or a turtle that doesn't look like a dragon at all, is it possible to have the Dragon type, right?"

Qingyu thought for a while, and continued to speak under Lance's shocked gaze.

"I heard that the Exeggutor in Alola also has its own unique regional form; because of the strong sunshine, they awakened their primitive power, so they also gained powerful Dragon-type power~"

(Exeggutor, also Grass + Dragon!)

？？？

Exeggutor? Dragon?

Am I crazy or is this world crazy?

After receiving information with too much impact, Lance's brain was briefly down for a while.

Until Qingyu took out his mobile phone and showed him a video on PokeTV…

The Exeggutor in the video had a much longer neck than he remembered, and its body seemed to have turned dark brown due to the sunshine.

Facing opponents invading their territory, they unhesitatingly used the Dragon Pulse that Lance was incomparably familiar with, successfully repelling the enemy.

"……"

Lance took a long time to recover, and finally sighed.

One Pokémon might be an exception, but looking at Qingyu's meaning, there seem to be many such individuals, and he couldn't even count them?

"Perhaps… our Dragon Tamer clan's understanding of Dragon-type Pokémon is indeed too one-sided."

Lance's expression was complex, and he turned to look at Casseroya Lake below.

"Master Yu, could it be that the Pokémon in this Casseroya Lake are all Dragon-type?"

I always feel that Qingyu is hinting at this to me…

"That's not quite it."

Qingyu smiled and pointed to a few Pokémon by the lake below.

"However, there are indeed quite a few, such as that Pokémon that looks like sushi, which is the Water + Dragon-type Tatsugiri."

"The group of Pokémon by the lake that look like jelly are the Goomy family first discovered in the Kalos region, and the attribute is a single Dragon type."

"By the way, they are also Pokémon that are late bloomers, just like the Dragonite and Salamence families."

"As for the ones that pop their heads out of the water from time to time and look a bit like Horsea, they are Dragalge, which mainly feed on rotten seaweed and have the Poison + Dragon attribute."

Qingyu counted them like treasures, and after listing all the main Dragon-type Pokémon inhabiting Casseroya Lake like reporting a menu, the expression on Lance's face became even more complex.

He really didn't guess wrong; Master Yu did it on purpose…

Except for Dragonite, there isn't a single proper dragon in this Casseroya Lake, right!
