Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 31 Warning! Warning!
big guy?
Jing He's expression tightened.

This "big guy" represents a lot.

Especially in Chimney Mountain, Jinghe almost subconsciously thought of Groudon, that terrifying being sleeping in Chimney Mountain.

But then I thought about it again and realized that was unlikely.

If it really were Groudon, with its power, Mt. Chimney would probably have erupted by now, and there wouldn't just be such a small gap.

No further information available?

Jinghe looked at Gastly again.

After today, he decided that he would go back and immediately take Gastly to meet other Pokémon.

At least.

It needs to be able to identify which Pokémon it encounters; otherwise, this kind of vague investigation will likely occur countless more times in the future.

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly seemed to realize that its expression might not be clear enough. It squinted its eyes, its head turned rapidly, and the black mist on its body surged.

"Kou Jie!"

Suddenly, as if it had thought of something, it slowly extended its limbs amidst the swirling mist, lay down on the ground, and at the same time, opened its mouth wide and exhaled a puff of black smoke.

Limbs?

"A fire-breathing camel?" Daigo tried to guess.

Although the fire-breathing camel is not small, can it be considered a big guy?

Jinghe thought of another possibility.

Could it be... the legendary Pokémon, Heatran?!
Although when Jinghe thought of Heatran, the first place that came to mind was Mt. Harsh in the Sinnoh region, and theoretically Mt. Chimney is Groudon's territory, Heatran probably wouldn't dare to use it as a habitat.

However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.

After all, Groudon is asleep, and Mt. Chimney is a hot volcanic area favored by Pokémon like Heatran.
But if it's Heatran, then that would be really troublesome.

Bang! !

Before he could think it through, another sharp cracking sound of rock breaking came from the crack.

Immediately afterwards, the crack, which was already radiating heat, exhaled another burst of scorching heat, and a winding, fiery red path, radiating light and heat, flowed out from one corner of the crack.

magma!

"Hey cha!"

Upon seeing the lava, the small fist stones and rumblestones, who were already huddled to the side, became even more panicked.

Meanwhile, the lava flowed down the rock wall and was about to fall.

"Yasha!" Jing He called out in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Asha quickly took out two Poké Balls and summoned a Camerupt and a Lava Bug in the red light.

Lava Bug is a Pokémon that looks like lava. Because they love high temperatures, they often live near or even inside volcanoes. What is scorching lava to other Pokémon is more like a comfortable warm bed to them.

The lava worms wriggled and blocked the narrow path of lava, preventing the lava from flowing down the mountain.

The Fire Camel is also helping to control the Lava Worm.

"Teacher Jinghe, the lava worms won't last much longer!" Asha said hurriedly.

"go!"

Despite some apprehension, Jinghe had no choice but to make this decision.

The lava has already flowed out, and if it is not replenished in time, it may cause a large amount of lava to leak out of Chimney Mountain.

At that point, it won't just be a matter of one or two lives.

As for what would happen if we actually encountered Sidson...
Then we can only try to appease and delay for a while.

Du Juan has already notified the major alliance organizations in Fuyan Town. Theoretically, Asha's grandfather, the retired former Four Heavenly Kings, should be able to barely handle Sidran.

As long as they arrive quickly enough.

There was actually another reason why Jinghe decided to go in.

That's Gastly.

Although Gastly couldn't explain the situation inside or the Pokémon it saw due to the urgency of the situation, Jinghe was certain of one thing: if Gastly felt that the level of danger was so high that they couldn't even look at it, it would definitely stop him from going in.

This stems from absolute trust in one's companions.

"I'll go first!"

Daigo's intentions were exactly the same as Jinghe's, but he didn't intend for Jinghe to go first. After summoning the Libra doll, he stepped into the rift first.

Because the rift is narrow, neither Metal Monster nor Skarmory can easily perform its moves; the small Libra Doll is the most suitable.

Jinghe then led Gastly inside as well.

It was hot enough standing outside the crevice, but once inside, the heat quickly soaked Jinghe and Dawu's backs.

However, the temperature was actually much lower than the two of them had imagined.

The fact that supersonic bats and giant beak bats can survive inside shows that the interior space is not actually that hot.

quickly.

Guided by Gastly, the passage grew larger and larger, and the high temperature soaked their clothes and made their faces glow red.

boom! boom!
As they went deeper, a series of roaring sounds gradually reached their ears.

A small to medium-sized interior space of a volcano appeared before them. Their gazes swept over it immediately.

There were about four or five dull fire camels huddled together in a corner. Although they were known for their dullness, Jinghe could clearly see panic, helplessness, and worry in their eyes.

Worried?

Following their gaze, Jinghe and Dawu quickly found the source of the incident.

A fire-breathing camel!

It has orange-red fur, three bright blue circles on each side of its body, and the hump on its back has a rock-like structure that is constantly spewing out scorching magma, just like a volcanic eruption.

Moreover, it appeared extremely restless, with the volcano on its back constantly erupting and its limbs stomping incessantly. The surrounding rocky ground had been crushed into pieces, and the rock wall not far behind it was charred black, with a bright red opening from which lava was slowly flowing.

Clearly, the lava path that Jinghe and the others saw outside originated from this.

But when they saw the fire-breathing camel, both Jinghe and Daiwu were taken aback.

A typical fire-breathing camel is about 1.8 to 2 meters tall when standing, but the one in front of them is at least 3 meters tall when standing!

This is a giant fire-breathing camel!
This is what Gastly refers to as the "big guy".

"Bang!! Bang!!"

Two more plumes of hot lava erupted from the volcano behind the fire camel.

When Jinghe and the other person noticed it, its bloodshot red eyes also fixed on them!
"Ow!!"

The fire-breathing camel roared, and blazing flames appeared from its open mouth.

Jinghe and the other person's expressions changed.

Steven immediately threw out another Poké Ball, summoning MetalGreymon, Skarmory, and Acadur.

However, all three Pokémon are Steel-type Pokémon, which puts them at a disadvantage in the type battle against Fire and Ground-type Camerupt, especially since this is Camerupt's home turf.

at the same time.

Jinghe's vision also caught sight of the Fire-Breathing Camel's illustration.

Fire-breathing Camel

[Type: Fire, Ground]

[Features: Lava Armor]

[Mastered moves: Rock Slide, Earth Shatter, Fire Breath, Roar, Impact, Spark, Charge, Stomp, Flame Splash, Instant Amnesia, Smoke Burst, Earth Power, Ram]

[Mood: Frenzied (It may have eaten something it shouldn't have)]

[Status: Abnormal (This is not a normal state for a Pokémon, warning! Warning!)]

[Friendliness: -50 (Danger! You approached with your left foot first!)]

This fire-breathing camel is really powerful!

Without a doubt, even if it weren't in this abnormally berserk state, it would be far stronger than Gastly.

But while its rage granted it greater power, it also further diminished its already limited intelligence.

Jinghe and Daiwu exchanged a glance.

boom! !

A raging inferno swept in.

"Metal Monster, Libra Doll, Telekinesis!"

Gastly, curse!

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

hum-

A transparent, light blue superpower barrier instantly formed, keeping the raging flames three meters away from Daigo and Jinghe.

"Kou Jie——"

Gastly's body briefly swelled, and a strange power, unseen, seeped into Camerupt's body, gradually taking root.

"Skunko, Sand Throw! Kodora, Mud Throw!"

The condition of Camerupt, the types and abilities of the two Pokémon, and their inexplicable synergy led them to almost simultaneously choose the safest approach: a war of attrition.

Dust and mud immediately blocked the fire-breathing camel's vision, and the flames it spewed began to engulf the entire cave.

Rocks kept falling.

The flames gradually subsided, but the fire-breathing camel became increasingly ferocious.

It took a deep breath, and a white aura appeared around it—gathering energy!
Then it suddenly raised its two front hooves, its restlessness palpable, and earthy yellow energy gathered between its hooves.

It's going to happen!

It's an earthquake!
Ground-type special move.

If it hits, it's a guaranteed instant kill if the opponent's strength isn't much greater than the Fire-Breathing Camel!

This move isn't actually very threatening to any of the Pokémon present except for Cthora, including Gastly.

But what worries Jinghe is...

That kick probably caused quite a commotion.
