Chapter 588: Lance: That

After plucking a handful of Spicy Herba Mystica and seeds from Tatsugiri's cave, Qingyu's main purpose for Casseroya Lake was successfully completed.

Anyway, he doesn't have much demand for Spicy Herba Mystica for the time being; only Miraidon and Arven's Mabosstiff need a little, so bringing some seeds home for Ogerpon to cultivate slowly is also quite good.

As for Tatsugiri and Dondozo…

Although they only contacted for a short time, Qingyu could also see that they were probably the speakers in this Casseroya Lake.

Unlike the environment where other Titans are located, basically no ordinary people will come to Casseroya Lake; this is the territory belonging to Pokémon.

So, Qingyu will not drive it out like he beat up the Klawf before.

Since the nearby Pokémon have no opinion, maintaining the current order is a good thing for everyone.

Qingyu and his party soon left Tatsugiri's territory tactfully.

Since the seasoning is in hand, the next step is naturally the main event—picnic~

……

A clearing on the upper level of Casseroya Falls, a picnic mat was full of humans and Pokémon.

After crossing over, Qingyu also repeatedly tried to make various dishes,

In this process, he gradually understood a very cruel reality.

He doesn't seem to have any talent in cooking.

However, the only thing that doesn't need any craftsmanship, just arranging the ingredients neatly on the bread embryo, the Paldea sandwich, is very energetic.

Among them, his own efforts and sweat undoubtedly account for the majority, as for seasonings and the like, they are just auxiliary!

In short, Lance and Clair came to the right place this time.

Compared to the seasonings used before, the effect of the final Spicy Herba Mystica is obviously much more overbearing, and therefore the taste seems to be exceptionally good.

Even though Qingyu tried his best to reduce the dosage, when the first sandwich was sent to Miraidon as an experimental product, Miraidon was soon stimulated by the pain far beyond capsaicin and screamed.

However, even though it was like fighting in its mouth, and even its tongue was spit out embarrassingly, Miraidon still didn't give up on taming this unruly sandwich, making him, who was watching all this from the side, stunned.

Is the effect so ridiculous?

With Miraidon as a warning, other Pokémon clearly hesitated for a moment when receiving sandwiches from Qingyu.

However, the desire for delicious food finally easily defeated the fragile fear.

"Poni!!!"

After taking off the mask, Ogerpon took a light bite, and then immediately let out a scream.

Clearly not wearing the Hearthflame Mask, a large group of flames soon sprayed out of its mouth, like an acrobatics performance.

It stands to reason that Ogerpon, whose personality is locked as "lonely," should like spicy food…

Even it couldn't accept the terrifying spicy taste; Miraidon just now actually forcibly endured it and didn't spit out the sandwich, hard-lining its brain and mouth for half a minute before finally convincing its body organs to swallow it.

Qingyu immediately realized—

Just now, I seem to have blamed Miraidon a bit.

In order not to waste food, actually working so hard to this extent?

Haki-Miraidon, you guy might be terrifyingly persistent…

"Bui!"

Sylveon, who is naturally timid, couldn't accept spicy food, and seeing Ogerpon defeated by the Spicy Herba Mystica, decisively chose to follow its heart, shrinking into Qingyu's arms and shaking its head repeatedly.

Compared to fighting, the hot sandwich in front of it that is like a hellish ghost is even more terrifying!

Qingyu was also very helpless when he saw this.

However, except for Miraidon, other Pokémon really don't have the necessity to eat Spicy Herba Mystica.

If Sylveon doesn't want to, then make it a regular sandwich.

"Lucario…"

Lucario stood straight on the ground, seemingly thinking about life.

Spicy taste is actually a kind of pain, so Ogerpon's reaction just now was so big.

But because of this, perhaps this spicy sandwich is also a test set by the trainer for himself?

If even this bit of Spicy Herba Mystica can't be endured, his willpower is obviously not enough!

Thinking of this, Lucario subconsciously looked at the man in the red and black cloak beside him.

Compared to himself who was still struggling, the willpower of this human who has a good relationship with the trainer is clearly far beyond his own; after eating a whole sandwich, he could still remain expressionless, and even motionless.

As expected, the willpower of the strong is very terrifying!

Qingyu also noticed Lucario's admiring gaze and subconsciously looked at Lance sitting beside him.

Since he took the sandwich and ate a piece just now, he seems to have made no sound…

As expected of the Elite Four Lance who is competitive all his life, is he maintaining his perfect image at this time?

But looking closely, Qingyu suddenly realized:

Lance is not strong in endurance at all; he is clearly about to see his great-grandmother!

His eyes are almost out of focus; could it be that he is about to see his great-grandmother?!

"It's really suffering for the sake of face."

Clair on the side shook her head helplessly.

……

The picnic episode ended soon, but Qingyu didn't rush to leave.

Lance and Clair were both interested in the nearby Pokémon, so they went in different directions, intending to see if they would be lucky enough to run into an interesting Dragon-type Pokémon.

As for Qingyu himself, he stayed near Casseroya Falls, intending to verify something very important for Bagon.

According to Pokedex records, in addition to physical development, Bagon's evolutionary conditions also have another condition that is a bit confusing.

It needs to establish the confidence that "I can actually fly" to complete the evolution.

This is also the main reason why Bagon will look for high places and like to fall from high altitudes, and this behavior has even been engraved into their DNA.

Qingyu vaguely felt that perhaps this was the opportunity for Bagon to evolve.

And the best place to verify this is the huge Casseroya Falls in front of him.

Even with Bagon's hard iron head, falling from too high an altitude carries certain risks.

But with the water below as a buffer, the situation will be much better.

The Frigibax that just flowed downstream and looked like an old hand is the best proof.

Therefore, this is the perfect place for Bagon to practice flying!

Qingyu thought while taking out the Tera Orb from his pocket.

It's a pity that he didn't think of this before coming, otherwise if he brought more Tera Shards, it would be even better to give Bagon a dual-insurance Tera Flying attribute.

Tera Flying can't make Pokémon really learn to fly, but at least they can experience what the Flying attribute feels like.

For Bagon, whose evolutionary form is Salamence, it might really be useful.

As for other Pokémon that also want to learn to fly…

The effect is probably relatively limited.

When Bagon noticed that it was upstream of the waterfall and had a very exaggerated height difference from below, a look of excitement soon appeared on its face.

If Qingyu hadn't reached out and grabbed its short hand, I'm afraid this little guy would have staged a "leap of faith" without hesitation.

The other Dragonite in Lance's hand was also temporarily borrowed by Qingyu, and at this time it was also waiting quietly below the waterfall for Bagon to jump down.

Before Miraidon mastered the technique of flying, Qingyu really didn't have one to use as a reference for Bagon, so he could only borrow foreign aid temporarily.

As Qingyu expected, the moment he let go, Bagon's eyes lit up, and it walked with a swaggering pace and soon arrived in front of the waterfall.

Then, without any hesitation, and even with obvious joy on its face, Bagon took a fierce step and flew toward the bottom along the water flow.

"Bui……"

Sylveon watched the excited Bagon, speechless for a while.

"Tsk, this little guy's courage is much greater than yours."

Qingyu smiled slightly and reached out to touch Sylveon's head.

In a sense, this little guy who likes to jump off cliffs is quite brave.

Jumping down from such a high place, let alone Sylveon, even he himself would absolutely not dare.

With its personality, coupled with its performance since childhood, the ultimate move after evolution is estimated to be Double-Edge…

Well, it also fits the positioning of a Pokémon like Salamence.

Qingyu was thinking this when he suddenly noticed the sonic boom caused by breaking the air from the sky, so he subconsciously looked up.

Then, he was stunned in place immediately.

Today is a cloudless day, so everything in the sky is in his sight.

A slender figure with a blue-black body and gilded patterns was located directly above them, and at this time it was attacking straight downward at a terrifying speed.

Because the speed was too fast, loud explosions would soon be emitted wherever it passed, and it even dragged a long white tail gas in the air.

At just one glance, Qingyu recognized this guy.

Black Rayquaza, also his old acquaintance, would appear in his sight from time to time…

However, its goal this time didn't seem to be himself.

But Bagon, who was falling.

Such an obvious movement made many Pokémon in Casseroya Lake pop their heads out one after another, and after discovering the source of the sound, they immediately dived into the water in a panic.

Even Slowpoke, who is usually Buddhist, reacted after half a beat, and jumped into the lake water with a big jump.

Even Lance and Clair, who were a little further away, immediately noticed this "uninvited guest" and soon fell into shock.

This black Rayquaza is clearly the one seen at the Dragon-type Masters Tournament!

At that time, it was clearly not ordinary with Qingyu, and this time it didn't even bother to act.

A look of shock soon appeared in Lance's eyes.

Rayquaza is the legendary existence that controls the sky in Hoenn, and Qingyu, who can be favored by it…

Undoubtedly, he will definitely be an extraordinary Dragon Tamer in the future!

However, Lance's focus was not here.

Compared to other Dragon-type Pokémon seen in Casseroya Lake, Rayquaza is indeed the most dragon-like, although the name doesn't have "dragon," it looks the most like a dragon.

That's right, Rayquaza is the real dragon!

As for the reason why the black Rayquaza, which attracted the attention of all creatures near Casseroya Lake as soon as it appeared, suddenly appeared here, it is also very simple…

Its huge body swept across Casseroya Falls like lightning, its agile posture fell straight toward the bottom, and after reaching the same height as Bagon, who was about to touch the water surface, it immediately turned.

While steadily catching Bagon, its body also turned ninety degrees fiercely like a Snake game, brushing against the water surface to complete a turn without bringing up a splash.

The Dragonite, who was originally a safety officer, was stunned in place, and it took a long time to react and clapped its hands honestly.

The mid-air drifting movement just now was absolutely a perfect performance of one hundred points!
