How can I be a trainer when my girlfriend is so cute?

"Ban~"

After entering the Shining Cave, the Bankiras Poké Ball on Fang Ci's waist shook excitedly, but soon calmed down again.

"Isn't it here?" Feeling Bangilas' reaction, Fang Ci understood.

After all, the Shining Cave gets its name from the special luminous moss inside, which is obviously different from the shine of diamonds.

Fang Ci gently patted Bankiras's Poké Ball to calm it down, then calmed himself down and continued walking towards the depths of the cave.

Just as Lang Zhuang said before, the silence in the Shining Cave was indeed abnormal. It was no wonder that the trainers would have wild thoughts in such a dark and silent environment. They would often scare themselves to death before encountering the so-called "ghosts".

The darkness in the shining cave was the kind of darkness that was as oppressive as reality. The light from the small flashlight in Fang Ci's hand could only play a very limited role in this environment. Qi Shu, who was holding a camera, saw through the night lens how cautious Fang Ci took every step, and suddenly thought of something that he had always ignored.

"Brother, wait a moment!" After realizing what was happening, Qi Shu immediately stopped the person in front and called out to Ci.

"What's wrong?" Hearing Qi Shu's voice, Fang Ci immediately stopped and turned around with concern.

Fang Ci turned around worriedly, only to see Qi Shu taking out a Poké Ball from his bag with a look of surprise.

"Come out, Fluffy Sheep!"

"Rongrong~"

Accompanied by a red light that was dazzling in the darkness, the pink fluffy sheep jumped out of the Poké Ball happily.

"Rongrong~?"

After seeing that it was pitch black all around, without waiting for Qi Shu to speak, a soft light rose up from the furry sheep ground, dispelling the surrounding darkness that made people feel suffocated and short of breath.

In many coastal areas, there is a tradition of using the light of an electric dragon to illuminate the lighthouse to show the direction for ships returning in the middle of the night. Although Rongrongyang has not yet evolved into an electric dragon, he has learned the flash skill early on under the cultivation of the strange tree.

However, since the effect of this move in battle was really useless, Qi Shu forgot about it for a while, but he finally remembered it after seeing Fang Ci's flashlight.

Compared to the small flashlight in Fang Ci's hand, the range of light from the Rongrong Sheep was undoubtedly much larger, at least allowing them to clearly see the road within a two-meter radius around them.

Seeing this, Fang Ci simply turned off the flashlight, freed his hands and hugged the buzzing bat lying on top of his head.

Under the leadership of Buzz Bat and Fluffy Sheep, Fang Ci and his companions advanced no slower than trainers like Lang Zhuang who were very familiar with the Shining Caverns. After just half an hour, they had reached the deepest part of the cave.

"Om~"

When they came to another fork in the road, just as Buzz Bat was happily pointing out the right path to Fang Ci and the others as before, he suddenly seemed to sense something different and turned his head to look curiously at the dead end on the other side.

"Buzz Bat, what's wrong?"

Noticing the strangeness of the buzzing bat, Fang Ci immediately lowered his head, touched its little head and asked curiously.

"Om~"

Hearing Fang Ci's words, the buzzing bat immediately jumped out of his arms and flew to the fork in the road that it had just rejected, pointing ahead and shouting excitedly.

"Is that the correct direction?" Qishu guessed in a low voice when he saw the movements of the buzzing bat.

"Om~"

Upon hearing this, the buzzing bat immediately shook its head violently. It was obvious that this was not what it wanted to tell Fang Ci and Qishu.

"Since you care so much, Buzz Bat, then take us there!"

Seeing that Buzz Bat looked a little anxious, Fang Ci said with a smile.

Anyway, with Buzz Bat around, they don't have to worry about getting lost, and the ghost can't run away for a while, so they might as well follow Buzz Bat to see what makes it so concerned.

"Om~!"

Hearing Fang Ci's words, the buzzing bat immediately turned around in the air excitedly, and then led the two of them towards the 'wrong' road.

Led by Buzzing Bat, after they walked through several winding roads, the narrow cave in front of them suddenly became bright.

After walking for so long, Fang Ci and Qi Shu finally heard other sounds besides their footsteps.

After they entered the wide cave, a rustling sound immediately came from the depths of the cave, and there were faintly a few black shadows surging in the darkness.

Seeing this, Qishu immediately grabbed the corner of Fang Ci's clothes nervously, while Rongrongyang also walked cautiously towards the center of the cave.

As the warm light from the Rongrong sheep illuminated the entire cave, Fang Ci and Qishu were finally able to see the dark shadows in the corner.

But contrary to Qishu's expectations, those dark shadows in the corners of the cave were not ghosts, but a group of shivering wild elves.

Seeing Fang Ci and the other person coming, the elves in the corner became even more frightened. They trembled and huddled together. Only a scarred rock snake mustered up the courage to coil up its huge body and stand in front of the elves behind it.

After the light completely dispelled the darkness in the corner, Fang Ci and the others discovered that there were many kinds of elves in the corner.

Arm strength, Caracalla, One-horned Rhino, New Bat, Stone Crab, Moon Stone, Sun Rock... There are even very rare Marsupials and Big Mouth Baby.

They should all be wild elves living in the Shining Cave, but now each of them has many scars of varying ages on their bodies, and their eyes are filled with extreme fear when they look at the two people.

Before they arrived here, these poor guys had obviously been cruelly abused by some humans or elves.

"What's going on?" Seeing this scene, Qi Shu, who was kind-hearted, immediately had tears of sympathy in his eyes. He turned around and looked at Fang Ci in confusion.

"Is that true?"

After seeing the elves shivering in the corner, Fang Ci's guess was immediately confirmed. Seeing Qi Shu looking at him in confusion, he spoke:

"In fact, I had already guessed when I was outside that there were no so-called ghosts in the Shining Cave. It was a lie deliberately made up by some people with ulterior motives to scare away other trainers who wanted to enter here."

"A lie?" Upon hearing this, Qishu's face immediately showed a look of realization. Combined with the scene in front of him, he was almost touching the edge of the truth.

"That's right. In fact, the Shining Cave is not haunted at all. It's just a lie deliberately spread by some people with ulterior motives to cover up their actions in the cave and prevent other trainers from entering here."

"Could it be because of the fossils?" Qi Shu reacted instantly after hearing Fang Ci say this.

"That's right. Although the fossil resurrection technology is now very mature and there are many fossil elves released into the wild by scientific research experts, fossil elves are still very rare compared to other ordinary elves. Although it only costs a small fee to enter the Shining Cave to dig for fossils, in order to protect fossil resources, the Fossil Research Institute in Guxiang Town stipulates that each person can only take one fossil out of the cave at a time, and can only revive and cultivate it by themselves, and no trading is allowed."

"But these regulations are undoubtedly the biggest stumbling block for some people who hope to make a fortune from fossils. However, since there are always forest rangers and people from the Fossil Research Institute watching the cave, they can only abide by the regulations..."

"So they came up with the idea of ​​using ghosts to scare away the rangers and other trainers in the cave, and then take the opportunity to dig up more fossils for profit. To do this, they not only pretended to be ghosts to scare away Mr. Langzhuang and the others, but also drove all the wild Pokémon that might hinder them here, right?" Fang Ci had just said halfway when Qi Shu deduced the follow-up very naturally.

"That's right. In order to prevent wild elves from escaping, they would definitely send people to watch this place and come over to patrol from time to time and threaten and scare the elves not to run away. This is the origin of the new and old scars on these elves."

"These guys are so despicable!" After knowing the truth, Qi Shu's fear of 'ghosts' instantly disappeared, and only intense anger remained.

Ten minutes later, the cave was still shrouded in a thick darkness, as if swallowing up all the light and sound. However, at this moment, a strange sound of footsteps broke the dead silence.

The footsteps came closer and closer, becoming clearer and stronger. Along with the footsteps, there seemed to be a faint, indescribable tension and uneasiness in the air.

"Hmph, what a hassle." A rough voice sounded outside the cave, with obvious impatience and contempt. The owner of the voice seemed to be a burly man, who muttered as he walked, "Four Eyes is always suspicious, insisting that he heard some noise. How is that possible? All the wild elves in the cave were scared out of their wits by me and stayed in the cave without daring to move. As for the outside, Lao Wu and the others are guarding it, so how can anyone get in? He is deliberately trying to play a trick on me, it's really annoying."

His words were full of disdain and dissatisfaction, and his footsteps became heavier and heavier. Every step seemed to step on the hearts of the elves in the cave, making them tremble even more violently.

"Forget it. It was the Four Eyes guy who came up with the idea this time. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had this chance to make a fortune. I'll just have to bear with it for now."

"But I can't bear this anger in vain. So I might as well vent it on those guys in the cave. Alas, there are obviously a few rare goods in there, which would have been sold for a good price in the past. It's all because of the damn alliance that had nothing to do and suddenly cracked down on poaching, which made those bosses lose their courage one by one, but no one took any action, so such good goods have to be thrown away in their hands."

The shadowy figure outside the cave shone a flashlight on the ground while muttering to himself as he walked forward. However, just as he was concentrating on walking forward, the light of the flashlight suddenly stopped in front of him and became extremely bright. In the light, a pair of red feet suddenly appeared, as if they were claws of a devil stretching out from the ground, which was chilling.

The shadow was stunned by the sudden scene, and the flashlight in his hand almost dropped. He subconsciously wanted to step back, but he felt his head hit something hard, and a sharp pain instantly spread throughout his body. He raised his head in pain, and saw a grinning face suddenly appeared in front of him.

Before the black shadow could even scream, his mouth was covered by a large red hand. No matter how he struggled, he could not move at all. He could only stare with eyes wide open in horror as he was dragged into the cave by the Fiery Roaring Tiger.

The light of the Fluffy Sheep illuminated the dark cave again. Looking at the man who was thrown into the middle of the cave like a dead fish by the Blazing Roaring Tiger and was frightened unconscious, the elves who were trembling just now raised their heads, with a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Seeing the motionless figure on the ground, the elves in the cave finally came back to their senses from their fear. They whispered to each other and talked a lot, and finally realized that Fang Ci and Qishu were not in cahoots with those guys who bullied them, but came to save them.

The elves' eyes sparkled with hope, as if they saw the hope of escaping from the sea of ​​suffering. They surrounded Fang Ci and the strange tree, expressing their gratitude in their own unique way.

Fang Ci looked at these poor elves, and a strong sense of justice surged in his heart. He turned to Qi Shu and said, "Baby, you stay here and help these elves deal with their injuries first. I will go and catch the rest of them and make them pay for what they did!"

Qi Shu nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she still answered firmly: "Okay, then you must be careful! I'll wait for you to come back here."

"Yeah!" Fang Ci looked at Qi Shu's worried eyes and nodded heavily, then turned and walked out of the cave. Under the guidance of Buzzing Bat, he walked towards the fossil mining room at the end of the Shining Cave.

If those guys were really targeting fossils, they would still be there.

Because treating the wounds of wild elves required more light, Fang Ci had to turn on the flashlight again and slowly move towards the end of the cave with the faint light.

The cave was dark and deep, as if an unknown universe was embedded in the rock. The air was filled with dampness and mold, mixed with a faint mineral scent, which made people hold their breath involuntarily.

The light of the flashlight drew beams of light in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead, but also making the surrounding shadows deeper. On the cave wall, stalactites and stalagmites were scattered in an orderly manner, with strange shapes, as if hiding endless secrets. Under the illumination of the beam, the mosses on the surface of these stones flickered with a faint light, adding a bit of mystery.

Fang Ci walked in this narrow and winding passage, taking every step carefully. He knew that there might be unknown dangers ahead.

The light of the flashlight jumped in the darkness, illuminating the way forward for him.
