Pokémon Breeder

"This means that there is a channel in the lake that connects to the ocean! Otherwise, why would there be Pokémon from the ocean here?"

Serena nodded, pinching her chin and thinking for a while, then looked up at Akimoto in surprise, with a light in her big eyes.

"I know! Could it be that someone released the Pokémon captured from the ocean into the Fairy Lake?"

"...This is basically impossible, because I found at least four Pokémon in the Fairy Lake that are only found in the ocean."

"Which four?" Serena asked curiously.

"Steel Cannon Shrimp, Stinging Jellyfish, Octopus Barrel and Love Fish."

"Oh - what kind of fish is the Love Fish?" Serena blinked her big eyes and asked cutely.

"The Love Fish is a stupid fish like Serena."

Akimoto knocked on Serena's head: "Look at the illustrations more, didn't I give you a national illustration?"

"Slightly~ There are so many Pokémon, how can I see them all!" Serena stuck out her pink little tongue and made a playful and cute face.

Akimoto didn't play tricks on her anymore. After changing an oxygen tank, he continued to go into the water.

After entering the water, Akimoto gradually moved forward along the wall from the position he had just explored.

Generally, it is impossible for a passage to be opened vertically on the ground, so it is most efficient to explore along the lake wall first.

If the passage is not found in this way, then the only way is to gradually move towards the center of the lake and search for the passage on the ground.

After searching for a long time, finally, when Akimoto was still searching for the passage, a quack frog caught up from behind.

"Quack, quack."

"That's great, let's go quickly!"

The two quack frogs nodded together, and then pulled Akimoto forward quickly in the water.

The speed of swimming pulled by the quack frog is much faster than swimming by yourself, and you don't have to move yourself, it's easy and comfortable.

Soon Akimoto came to a dark cave entrance under the "leadership" of the quack frog. If it weren't for the light shining a little here, Akimoto wouldn't have seen that this was a cave at all.

Akimoto shone a flashlight into the cave entrance, only to find that the passage was tilted upward!

What kind of weird passage is this?

After the frogs led the other frogs to the cave entrance, Akimoto swam up the passage with them.

The angle of the passage was not large, and Akimoto swam for a long time but never reached the end.

But soon he found that the light from the flashlight was reflected back, indicating that there was an obstruction not far ahead, which was probably a wall outside the water.

Sure enough!

When Akimoto sped up, he swam out of the water and successfully stepped on land again.

"What a strange place this is."

Akimoto said to himself.

He shone the flashlight around, and then looked up at the top of the passage. There was nothing special here except for some moss growing. It was far from the beauty of the underwater passage at Shiratide Beach.

At least Akimoto did not see the water stone embedded in the surface of the rock like a night pearl. This was obviously different from the underwater passage at Shiratide Beach. Akimoto had to use the flashlight himself to get light.

After landing, the passage returned to level. Akimoto was still a little uncomfortable walking in the slightly gravelly passage. He took off his flippers and put on a pair of sandals to continue moving forward.

Tap, tap, tap...

Akimoto's footsteps kept echoing in the passage, but the frogs did not make any sound when they walked.

As he walked, a slope suddenly appeared in front of him, a slope going down.

And near the slope, the water surface could already be seen.

Akimoto slowly approached the water surface to prevent himself from slipping.

After dipping his hand in a little water, Akimoto took a sip and found that the water here was salty!

Sea water!

Then the other end of this passage is undoubtedly the sea!

This can also explain why the water in Fairy Lake is still fresh water even though there are Pokémon from the ocean.

Because the underwater passage connecting the ocean and Fairy Lake is an inverted V-shaped passage, the sea water and Fairy Lake water are separated and do not flow to each other, and only Pokémon can enter another place through the passage.

But why is this passage formed?

Akimoto thought it was quite strange, because this kind of terrain formation is very rare, and it happened to be generated underwater, connecting the ocean and Fairy Lake while blocking sea water and fresh water.

Akimoto didn't know what was ahead, but his strong curiosity drove him to swim down, taking the frogs and others through this downward-extending passage to the other side.

"Quack, quack, quack."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Quack, quack!"

When he was halfway through swimming, a frog suddenly swam to Akimoto and shouted to him, reminding him that there was a very strange smell ahead.

The frog could sense this breath, but Qiu Yuan's use of life force was greatly hindered and he could not use his perception ability.

It should be that the water elemental force under the water was too dense and the life force could not extend.

Qiu Yuan signaled the frogs to be alert again and be careful to prevent accidents.

The passage was neither wide nor narrow, enough for two frogs and Qiu Yuan to move forward side by side.

But the distance was too long. Qiu Yuan had been swimming for an unknown period of time and had not yet reached the end.

And because the slope was not steep, even the depth of the dive was estimated to be only a little bit.

Another ten minutes passed. This downward underwater passage not only had a small slope, but also had an upward or horizontal road from time to time, so Akimoto could not see the end.

Swimming monotonously in the seemingly endless passage, Akimoto was inevitably a little impatient, wanting to quickly swim out of this now narrow passage and see what was on the other side of the passage.

After swimming so far, he did not see the source of the strange breath that the frog warned him of. Perhaps the frog felt it wrong, so Akimoto was no longer so cautious and began to swim quickly.

No longer swimming slowly, although there would be certain risks, the speed was much faster than before!

But impatience always makes things happen unexpectedly. When Akimoto speeded up and was no longer vigilant against possible accidents in the passage, accidents came to him.

There were four steel cannon arm shrimps. Just when Akimoto had just swam through a section of the passage with a slightly larger height difference, they appeared in front of Akimoto.

Avoid them!

Akimoto had no time to react. When he saw the Cannon Shrimp, he was only six or seven meters away from the Cannon Shrimp!

The movement from such a short distance could not be hidden from the Cannon Shrimp's perception.

Sensing the movement from behind the passage, the four Cannon Shrimp turned back in unison and saw the uninvited guests who accidentally broke in here - Akimoto and his five Frogs!

Without saying a word, the Cannon Shrimp didn't even say hello. After seeing Akimoto and the others, it immediately aimed its gun barrel at Akimoto, and the energy at the muzzle quickly gathered.

Akimoto was shocked to see that the other party had no intention of reasoning at all, and quickly let the Frogs pull him back.

But the other party had four Cannon Shrimp, and they were Pokémon that could launch powerful long-range attacks. While being chased, Akimoto had to remind the Frogs to be careful to avoid them.

The situation was once very urgent. Even if Akimoto was wearing flippers, he couldn't swim faster than the Cannon Shrimp, so he could only let the Frogs pull him to swim.

However, the speed of the quack frogs slowed down.

Two quack frogs pulled Akimoto, while the other three covered Akimoto from behind, launching foam attacks and water waves from time to time.

Although the foam attack was extremely slow in the water, it could block the sight of the steel cannon shrimps and reduce their hit rate.

Although smoke screen is also an effective implementation method, it takes a very short time to release the smoke screen, and they need to pause while releasing it.

Akimoto never expected that there would be four steel cannon shrimps, like a roadblock, blocking this passage that was less than two meters wide.

At this time, Akimoto was glad that the passage was not wide, otherwise the four steel cannon shrimps would not only attack two, but all four would attack together!

Although the speed of the steel cannon shrimps was not as fast as the quack frogs, the quack frogs swam with Akimoto, only slightly faster than the steel cannon shrimps.

The three quack frogs that covered Akimoto desperately threw skills behind them to prevent them from chasing, and at the same time they had to be careful to avoid the attacks of the steel cannon shrimps.

Frog is a Pokémon like a melee high-sensitivity assassin. They are fast, but their double defense is very low. If they are attacked by a cannon shrimp with high special attack, they may be seriously injured!

Because, in the emergency just now, Akimoto quickly explored their strength! Among the four cannon shrimps, there are actually two quasi-king-level Pokémon!

Akimoto rarely sees quasi-kings, and every time he sees them, they appear in groups!

I really don’t know whether to say lucky or unfortunate. In the current situation, it is more reasonable to say that it is unfortunate.

Seeing that they are about to enter a familiar multi-stage repeated terrain, Akimoto remembers that this is the terrain he encountered not long after he came here, which means that through here, he can immediately reach the passage on the shore!

"Come on! Frog!"

Akimoto looked at the cannon shrimps getting farther and farther behind, and breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't let his guard down. He asked Frog to work harder, and at the same time he also swung his flippers hard to speed up.

Akimoto's speed is the speed of the entire team, so the faster Akimoto's speed is, the faster the three frogs can retreat.

Seeing that Akimoto and the frog were about to escape, the leading quasi-king steel cannon shrimp suddenly retreated quickly.

The three steel cannon shrimps next to it saw this and stopped chasing. They retreated to the side to make way for the steel cannon shrimp.

Akimoto happened to look back at the situation behind him, and found that they all stopped and did not continue to chase.

Originally, this situation should be very good, but Akimoto was shocked when he saw it!

Just now, he remembered that the steel cannon shrimp has a very powerful skill that can make up for its slow speed!

Water jet!

This skill only needs a dozen levels to learn, but at this moment it has become the most powerful skill!

Because of the use of water jet, the steel cannon shrimp can wrap itself in a violent water flow with huge power, like a cannonball, and shoot towards Akimoto!

Qiu Yuan didn't care about anything else. He shouted and told the three frogs behind him to be careful. He also reminded them not to use skills to block and to focus on avoiding attacks.

With a hard shell like armor, the steel cannon arm shrimp would cause terrible damage if it hit the frog or Qiu Yuan under such a strong impact!

Qiu Yuan had no choice but to let the frogs avoid it.

If the cannon shrimp had released the water jet before, Akimoto would not be so worried.

But the problem is that Akimoto has now left the part of the passage where the slope changes frequently and entered a long straight passage, so there is no terrain for Akimoto to use to avoid the attack of the cannon shrimp.

The cannon shrimp retreated quickly, and after hitting the wall, it used the strong power of its tail to eject itself like a cannonball, and at the same time launched a water jet to increase its speed again!

Without looking back, Akimoto could tell how fast the cannon shrimp was rushing towards them, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and let the frogs let him go, narrow the attack surface, and move flexibly left and right while moving forward.

But what is coming will always come. Seeing that the cannon shrimp locked the target and was about to hit Akimoto, the frogs could not help it.

They knew that one or two could not stop the aggressive cannon shrimp, so they worked together, relying on the tacit understanding of their companions for many years, and used lightning flashes at the same time to seize the opportunity to attack the cannon shrimp.

A quack frog faced the cannon shrimp head-on, stopping its movements. Meanwhile, the other two quack frogs seized the cannon shrimp's brief pause and used Lightning Flash to hit the cannon shrimp from the flank.

This move worked very well, but the price was that the quack frog that faced the cannon shrimp head-on was hit so hard that it felt like it was falling apart, and it was in great pain.

The other two quack frogs grabbed the quack frog that was hit, caught up with Akimoto, and quickly fled to the entrance.

Seeing that the pursuit was hopeless, the cannon shrimp attacked the wall fiercely and left in a huff.

After escaping from the cannon shrimp's pursuit, Akimoto quickly returned to the shore of the passage and fell to the ground tiredly.

Although he was pulled by the two quack frogs to swim when he was escaping just now, Akimoto did not relax for a moment. His legs swam at a very high frequency as if he was twitching. Now that he has recovered, his legs are no longer sensitive.

Everything happened too suddenly. The sudden intersection, the sudden appearance of four steel cannon arm shrimps, the sudden attack, gave him no time to react.

He didn't even know why the steel cannon arm shrimps were so hostile to him and attacked without explanation.

"Where is the quack head frog? Why didn't the quack head frog catch up?!"

Qiu Yuan had only rested for a few seconds when he suddenly found that the three quack head frogs didn't catch up.

He was just running away. When he heard the thunder-like sound underwater, he thought that the steel cannon arm shrimps hit the wall, so he didn't continue to chase.

But where is the quack head frog now?

Anxious Qiu Yuan, with his legs sore, stood up and prepared to go back to find the quack head frog.

But at this moment, the two quack head frogs carried the immobile quack head frog to the shore.

"What's the situation? What happened to it!?"

Qiu Yuan was so anxious that he didn't have time to wait for the quack head frog to answer, so he quickly asked them to put the injured quack head frog flat on the ground and treat it quickly.

Using the life force to quickly check the frog, Akimoto found that it had multiple fractures all over its body, and there were serious abrasions on its chest caused by contact with high-speed objects!

Akimoto could only spray the wound medicine on the abrasions on the frog's chest, and use the life force to simply repair the fractures of the frog.

Such serious injuries must be treated with a therapeutic device. Akimoto's life force is more effective in repairing simple injuries or curing the root of the disease, and it is not very effective for such serious injuries.

After simply fixing the fracture of the frog, Akimoto asked the other two frogs to carry it carefully and walked towards the lakeshore.

His Poké Ball was in the ball bag, and the ball bag was on the lakeshore.

Akimoto emerged from the water, and the four frogs also emerged from the water, scaring Serena, who was halfway through fishing and playing with Pikachu.

When Serena saw Akimoto coming ashore, she hurriedly looked for the ball bag and searched for the Poké Ball inside.

When she looked again, she found that one of the frogs had fainted.

Akimoto found the Poké Ball of the frog and used it to collect it. He didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He told Serena to come back with the forest lizard and the four frogs later, and then rode his mount goat to the breeding house.

Serena didn't understand what happened yet, and picked up the ball bag that Akimoto had just thrown away in a hurry.

"What happened?"

Serena cleaned up the venue and put the fishing rod and stool into Akimoto's backpack. While thinking about the situation of the frog just now, she was a little worried and quickened the pace of packing.

"Forest lizard, frog, you should return the Poké Ball first!"

"Chamo!"

"Quack!"

...

When Serena rode her mount lamb back to the breeding house, Akimoto had already put the frog on the treatment device, and Gardevoir, Xiaoli and Jigglypuff were all assisting in the treatment of the frog.

Serena didn't say anything, and watched Akimoto finish the treatment of the frog quietly.

The whole treatment process was not complicated. With the effect of the treatment device, Akimoto was able to combine the power of life to create a small sticky plastic block at the fracture site of the frog, helping the broken bones to re-adhere and splice, and then it can be perfectly restored.

Plaster must be applied, after all, it is a fracture, even Pokémon cannot move around during the fracture.

"Huh... finally healed..."

Zone wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Serena, and said to her: "By the way, I just forgot to bring the ball bag back, are you back?"

"Yeah, I got it back! But I released the forest lizard and the frog."

Serena nodded. She had released the forest lizard and the frog when she came back just now, and now they are still waiting outside.

"Tell them to come and carry the frog back. Don't touch the place with plaster."

Akimoto was a little exhausted. He told Serena a few things to pay attention to, then walked out of the tree house treatment room, returned to the room and fell asleep.
