Chapter 81 In times of crisis, evolve! salt stone barrier
Team Rocket said after entering the cave.
"Although we have been working here for a while before, and together with these miners, we have almost mined the minerals in this cave, but we haven't figured out all the tunnels that extend in all directions?"
Listening to Kojiro's words, Miaomiao said speechlessly from the side.
"Ojiro, you have the nerve to say that! Before we even took over the money from our part-time job, your money-seeking spirit took it into its treasure chest, and refused to open it even to the death, ah meow!"
Kojiro didn't think so, so he hugged Suo Cailing and rubbed his face against it, saying to it while rubbing it.
"Because Suo Cai Ling is so cute, and it not only has this advantage, but it also doesn't have the consciousness to keep treasures, so let's let it be our piggy bank!"
Meowth rolled his eyes and retorted.
"Whether you can take it back after keeping it or not is still the same thing, ah meow."
Listening to the two chatting behind him, Musashi led the team to the front and said angrily.
"It's so noisy! We'll talk about these things later. I must get the 'taste' badge from the big little ghost head, plus the cooking competition that this town is about to hold... Then I will have two badges! "
Faced with Musashi's unreasonable troubles, Kojiro and Meowth couldn't say anything and followed her silently.
Arriving inside the cave, facing the passages extending in all directions, Pipa didn't know which cave Salt Shibao had entered for a while. After exploring several caves in sequence, Pipa returned without success.
Returning to the gathering place of these forks, I used stones to carve "cross-out" marks on the stone walls of the stubble entrances I passed, indicating that the interior of these cave entrances has been inspected and no salt stone treasures were seen. .
After marking the mark, Pipa dropped the stone in his hand and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead... For a while, he couldn't find the salt stone treasure, and Pipa was indeed a little anxious.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in Pipa's eyes, which made him unable to open his eyes. He swayed back to avoid the direction of the light. Pipa took a closer look and found that the light came from the ground.
Pipa walked forward and squatted next to the shiny ground to observe carefully... The reflective thing was a piece of white salt. Pipa reached out to pick up the salt block and crushed it between her fingers. Pipa immediately Then you know.
"This, this is... the salt on Yan Shibao's body. How could there be such a moist lump of salt in such a dry cave?"
Pipa looked up in confusion and saw blocks of salt like this scattered all over the place, heading deeper into one of the unexplored caves in front of Pipa.
"The salt stone treasure is right there!"
A thought flashed across his mind, and Pipa immediately stood up and ran towards the cave, just after Pipa entered the cave. Team Rocket and the others walked out of the right fork of the cave, with Musashi still mumbling.
"There isn't one in this cave. Is it on the other side? It's strange! I worked here before, and when I was with other miners, didn't you think it was so complicated?"
"Okay, let's look for the fork on the other side, meow!"
With that said, Team Rocket and others entered the left fork with the Pipa Cave, and successfully passed by it again.
As Pipa continued to go deeper into the cave, he could find salt blocks falling from Salt Shibao's body along the way. He became more and more sure of his judgment and moved forward regardless of the possible crises ahead.
Suddenly, Pipa spotted a small black shadow moving behind a stone on the side, and he was so happy that he immediately pounced on it.
"Salt Stone Treasure! Salt..."
When Pipa held up the black figure with both hands, she realized that unlike Salt Stone Baojie's white body, the other figure was completely black, like a piece of coal.
"Coal?...Oh, it turns out to be Little Tanzai, what! I thought it was Salt Stone Treasure."
Just as Pipa was mumbling to himself, the little charcoal in his hand opened its orange-red glowing eye and came face to face with Pipa's embarrassment.
"Hi, hello, excuse me..."
Facing Pipa's greeting, Tanzai, who was interrupted from rest, was not in such a good temper. A burst of smoke blew into Pipa's face, choking Pipa and coughing violently.
"Cough cough cough... I'm sorry, cough! Why are you so grumpy, cough cough cough..."
When the smoke dissipated, Little Tanzi had left there, leaving only Pipa with a dirty look on his face. After Pipa stood up, patted the dust on his body, and continued to move towards the direction where there were still traces of salt blocks in the cave.
On the road, Piper also discovered a lot of wild little charcoal boys, as well as the existence of wild big charcoal cars...
"Why are there so many Coal Pokémon? Could it be that they have entered their territory?"
Fortunately, these wild Pokémon did not drive Pipa away, and Pipa boldly continued to go deeper... When he was about to reach the end of the cave, he found another stone wall. , Pipa said angrily, clenching his fists.
"Damn it, have you lost the clue again? I obviously feel like I'm sure of it this time."
Just when Pipa thought he would be in vain this time, he turned back, but an uneasiness still lingered in his heart, forcing him to turn back again and continue to examine this place.
I only found that there was nothing unusual here. Apart from the bare cave walls inside, there were only a few small chars and big chars, nestled together in twos and threes. But..., Pipa sniffed the tip of her nose and said to herself.
"This is obviously the salty taste of Yan Shibao..., Yan Shibao, where are you?"
While Pipa was looking around, his eyes glanced over and found clues on Little Tanzai. Pipa walked forward, knelt down and said.
"Yan Shibao, it turns out you are really here. It's really a good meal for me!"
It turned out that among the three or two little charcoal cubs, there was one little guy who did not have the jet black color of the charcoal cub, but was instead a grayish black. It was Salt Stone Treasure. In order not to be discovered by Pipa, he deliberately covered his body with soot, making himself dirty and looking like a little charcoal boy.
Fortunately, Pipa was serious and persistent, so that she would not miss Yan Shibao again. Pipa took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped off the soot on Yan Shibao. Only then did Pipa find the piece of salt. A piece of damp salt is wrapped in the teardrops of Salt Shibao along the way, and the salt falls...
Looking at Yan Shibao who still looked aggrieved, Pipa said with a smile.
"What's wrong? Yan Shibao, aren't you happy?"
Yan Shibao raised his head and glanced at Pipa, then lowered his head again, as if he was hesitant to speak. Pipa also understood why Salt Shibao was so sad and continued.
"Sorry, Yan Shibao, I want to apologize to you here."
Yan Shibao looked up at Pipa in confusion, and Pipa continued.
"It was my fault as a cook that I didn't bring out your 'taste' to the fullest. Seasonings can be used to enhance the original taste of food. I actually wanted to cook with just your salty taste." …This is all because of my naive ideas, lack of experience, and bad ideas when I was short of ingredients.”
"Neither can you make the icing on the cake better than the original ingredients, nor can you give full play to your advantages... This is my mistake as a cook and a trainer."
Hearing this, Yan Shibao was also a little moved and said to Pipa...
"Boom! Boom!"
...cries, trying to use this method to cheer up Bangpa.
Piper also managed to cheer up. Thinking of the sharp and critical words Joel had said to her before, she felt a little angry and unwilling, but mostly excited and enterprising.
Then he continued to speak to Yan Shibao.
"Yan Shibao, now is not the time to admit defeat, I need your help!"
Yan Shibao looked at Pipa, and there was a fire in his heart. He changed his previous gloomy mood and jumped into Pipa's arms.
"Okay, okay, Yan Shibao, it's so itchy! ... As long as it's okay, let's go back to Xiaozhi and the others and prepare for the cooking competition in two days. Let's beat Joel to his feet!"
Just when Pipa and Salt Stone were getting back together, a burst of violent footsteps came, and the sound became louder and louder, and a heat wave hit... Pipa and the others looked up anxiously, and it turned out to be a wild animal. Jutan Mountain.
"Howl!"
The roaring sound of Jutan Mountain is like a pile of burning coals on its head, making a roaring sound like a furnace.
"I'm sorry, Jutanshan! We didn't enter your territory on purpose. Let's leave now..."
"Howling!"
Obviously, the existence of Pipa and the others has angered the other party, and they cannot listen to Pipa's explanation. The situation of Pipa and the others at this time is also very dangerous. Now they are in the cave, and they are at the end of the cave, with no way out. , are all stone walls. And the only exit to turn back is blocked by Jutan Mountain, making it impossible to escape...
And as the coal on Jutan Mountain burned, the temperature in this small cave rose higher and higher. Pipa was already sweating profusely, and his consciousness became a little blurry, so he had to take off his jacket.
"No, the current situation must be solved immediately. The only way is to fight..."
This thought flashed past, and Jutan Mountain also launched an attack in the direction of Pipa and the others. A shooting down attack came, and Jutan Mountain fired rocks like cannonballs... Pipa immediately stretched his hands to his waist.
"Come out, hot baby..."
Suddenly, Pipa realized that she had rushed in to look for the salt stone treasure, and her elf ball containing Hot Baby, her backpack, kitchen utensils, etc. were all placed outside the entrance of the cave.
At this critical moment, Salt Stone Treasure came to Pipa and attacked with a mud shot, intercepting the opponent's knockdown attack.
"Salt Stone Treasure!... I have no choice but to rely on you, Salt Stone Treasure, use the head hammer!"
After receiving the order, Yan Shibao took a few steps back, then galloped quickly in the direction of the opponent, then jumped up and charged in the direction of Jutan Mountain.
Just when Yan Shibao's headbutt was about to fall on Jutanshan's face, Yanshibao stopped in the air. When everyone was puzzled, they looked to the opposite side and saw Jutanshan catching the blow from Yanshibao with one hand. attack.
Yanshibao's head hammer attack stopped in Jutanshan's hand and lost its power. Yanshibao was also lifted into the air by the opponent's big hand, and he tried his best to swing his limbs, trying to escape from Jutanshan's restraints.
It was obvious that Jutanshan, who had been harassed to a peaceful territory, did not want to let him go so easily, so he raised his hand and pressed the salt stone treasure in his hand to the ground. With the other hand he raised, something appeared out of thin air. A huge stone was an attack from Jutanshan's primitive power. It was raised to greet Yan Shibao.
"Salt Stone Treasure, break away quickly! Use Mud Shot."
Yanshibao tried his best to squeeze open a finger gap in Jutanshan's big hand, and the mud shot was successfully shot from the gap and landed on Jutanshan's face. However, such an attack was just a drop in the bucket for Jutanshan. Jutanshan did not even dodge, and faced Yan Shibao's attack head on.
Faced with Yanshibao's attack, not only was it unable to bring harm to Jutanshan, but it actually angered the opponent even more, causing the hand holding Yanshibao to press harder to the ground... Suddenly, Jutanshan's other hand The original power attack fell directly on Yan Shibao's body.
Piper yelled worriedly.
"Salt Stone Treasure!..."
At this moment, a burst of bright light emerged from between the fingers of Jutanshan's hand that was holding Yan Shibao...
"What! This is..."
Amidst Pipa's confused voice, the burst of light was instantly overwhelmed by the smoke caused by the primitive power attack from the giant charcoal mountain... Pipa looked worriedly from the distance outside the smoke.
Suddenly, a vague shadow appeared in the smoke. Pipa, who was worried about the salt stone treasure, thought it was the salt stone treasure, so he went up to it... The shadow in the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, until the smoke It dispersed, revealing the owner of the shadow, none other than Jutanshan.
Just when Pipa knew that he had recognized the wrong Pokémon, the opponent Jutan Mountain also noticed Pipa's figure, raised his big hand high, and the primitive power attack was about to fall...
At this time, a rockfall attack fell from the top of Jutan Mountain, which made Jutan Mountain feel dizzy. When he turned around and looked around, he saw no Salt Stone Treasure, only a boxy one. The Pokémon with the orange light in its eyes was also the one responsible for the rockfall attack just now.
"This, this is..., is this Salt Shibao you?"
The unknown Pokémon nodded towards Pipa and shouted.
"Boom, boom!"
Piper took out her cell phone and Rotom inquired.
"Salt Barrier, Rock Salt Pokémon, Rock type, Salt Pokémon's evolved form."
"It can compress rock salt in its body to form a hard salt bomb. The power of the launch can even penetrate an iron plate. It will spray salt towards the prey and make it into a salted product. The moisture in the prey's body will be Taken away from you in the process.”
Piper said happily after learning the information about Salt Barrier.
"Salt Stone Treasure..., oh, no! Salt Stone Barrier, it's really you."
Before Yanshi Lei and Pipa could stage their reunion, Datanshan stood in the middle of the two sides and roared.
"Howling!"
Yan Shi Lei also responded immediately.
"Boom, boom!"
The two rock-solid Pokémon screamed at each other, and a battle was about to begin.
