The mountains next to Rusturf City separate two major poputed areas, the roads between Rusturf and Stone Town.
The cyan mountain ridges are like huge beast spines, lurking in the blue and transparent morning light.
Tetsuya and the others raised their heads and saw a Beautifly waving its wings, followed by green dust falling from the sky. Then, the Whismur had no power to resist and fell asleep directly on the ground.
Above them, a Pidgeot nearly two meters tall fpped its wings. Feeling the cold wind coming from above, the few people shivered.
"That's...Pidgeot?"
"And Beautifly—"
"Who's there?"
The battle with the Whismur was interrupted. The four people looked up in surprise, but all they found was a Pidgeot flying in the air and another Beautifly constantly circling.
It wasn't until Pidgeot slowly nded and a boy with a white short shirt and yellowish-brown hair jumped off its back that they recovered.
The boy looked very gentle, but his brown eyes revealed seriousness. He put his eyes on the four of them, pondered for a moment, and before he could speak, the others suddenly shouted.
"You are...that guy from yesterday?" Souzou looked at him in surprise, his tone unkind.
"Hey, why did you break your promise? We waited for you for a long time." The girl trainer named Koki also recognized Torii and said dissatisfied.
The remaining Ayue and Tetsuya also looked at him.
"......" Torii.
......
......
"I never promised you from the beginning." Torii was a little troubled, originally he didn't pn to see them again, "I also said it afterwards, I don't have this intention."
"It's just that you never gave me a chance to expin."
The four were obviously not satisfied with this answer. At the same time, they also looked at Beautifly and Pidgeot.
Not to mention Beautifly, Pidgeot's nearly two-meter tall body, gorgeous appearance, and majestic and sharp eyes instantly shocked the group of young boys and girls.
"Now is not the time to expin. Anyway, if you don't want to get hurt, I suggest you better follow me." Torii said.
"What do you mean?" Tetsuya asked.
"This pce is very dangerous. You must leave here now and wait for police rescue. I don't think you have the strength to protect yourselves." Torii said, "I didn't stop you before because I didn't expect the seriousness of the incident. There is a very strong leader in the Whismur tribe, with the ability to command. Against more than a hundred Pokémon, I don't think you should be so arrogant to that point, right?"
"There's no time, just follow me if you believe me."
"Their attack consciousness is very strong now, and they are nearby. There will be no good results if you are noticed."
Torii stroked Pidgeot's neck, gave instructions, and walked towards the pce away from Exploud and the others.
"That kid—" Souzou gritted his teeth and was very dissatisfied with Torii's arrogant attitude.
"Consider his words." Ayue from the Rustboro Gym adjusted his gsses, "He should have no reason to lie to us."
"Indeed, the previous movement seems a bit abnormal. Let's follow him first." Tetsuya's expression was solemn, and he sighed, "If what he said is true..."
"Okay then." Seeing the attitude of the others, Souzou had nothing to say.
A few minutes ter.
The four followed behind Torii, passed several mountain roads, and came to a hidden cave entrance.
"Okay, I've seen it from the air before. It should be very safe here. The Whismur shouldn't come to this kind of small pce in groups." Torii cpped his hands, his hands inevitably stained with dust from rushing on the road just now.
"You haven't told us the reason yet."
Following behind Torii all the way, the more the few people thought about it, the more strange it became. Why would this boy, who was younger than them, appear here to warn them...
Especially, the other party's Pidgeot, looks very strong, how could it be mastered by a rookie trainer...
"Roar!~~~~~~"
"Roar!!~~~~~~~~~~~"
Torii looked at them calmly. Suddenly, the roar came again, causing his face to freeze, "I won't tell you in detail. Remember, stay here, I'll be right back."
"Pidgeot—"
Shouting loudly to the Pidgeot flying in the air, Torii climbed onto its back again and flew in the direction he came from!
"It seems that Master Katsuragi and the others have arrived. Is this... a battle?"
After analyzing the Rusturf Tunnel incident, Torii faintly felt that the root cause was not on the Whismur. He wanted to see how this incident would end.
Under Pidgeot's extreme speed flight, he returned to the original pce in the blink of an eye.
But unlike the imagined melee, at this time Exploud, and the Whismur and Loudred, seemed extremely quiet.
In addition, an Officer Jenny riding a majestic Arcanine, and two male police officers, were all looking at the front—
Master Katsuragi and a fox-like Pokémon were standing peacefully in front of Exploud, seemingly talking about something.
The communication work was being carried out by Akazam, in the form of mental communication.
Then, Exploud's expression gradually eased from the initial caution to the final normalcy. Everything happened very quickly.
"Oh ma~~"
With Exploud's recovery, Master Katsuragi smiled.
"The call... has recovered?" Torii was stunned. What did they communicate in such a short period of time that made the Exploud, whose attack consciousness was strong, recover from the violence.
Then, under Torii's astonished gaze, Master Katsuragi bowed to Exploud, and the Whismur and Loudred all retreated, and Exploud also left here.
"What about that group of trainers?" Torii, who nded from the air, was noticed by Master Katsuragi.
"A cave 1,000 meters away in the northwest direction." Torii said, "There are also a few Whismur. The few people almost fought. Finally, I had Beautifly use Sleep Powder to put them to sleep."
"Go wake up those Whismur. The matter is temporarily over." Master Katsuragi said.
......
......
Rusturf City, Pokémon Center.
Only half a day has passed since making Exploud peaceful.
The four people who entered the mountain were also found by Officer Jenny and were severely criticized, but at this time they were all cmoring to see Torii.
And Torii, of course, could not appear in front of them again. At this moment, he was walking in the mountains with Master Katsuragi.
"So that's how it is... So it was a mistake to bme the Whismur."
The Rusturf Tunnel incident was clear. The cause originated from the rgest farm in Lavaridge Town.
In order to pursue more benefits, the farm owner decided to use the geographical advantage to turn the nearby farmnd into a rge hot spring resort, and a group of Diglett that were raised by the farm owner were ruthlessly abandoned.
Diglett will loosen the nd where they live, and their feces will also make the soil fertile, so many farmers will carefully cultivate them.
As the rgest farmer in Lavaridge Town, there were nearly a hundred Diglett raised, and after the farm was abandoned, this group of Diglett naturally had no home to go to.
The Diglett traveled south all the way, and in order to find new caves suitable for living, they ended up near Rusturf City.
"Although Diglett are not good at fighting, they will make the soil looser wherever they pass, and if they migrate during the Rusturf Tunnel project, there will be a risk of the nearby mountains colpsing." Torii said.
"At the same time, the Diglett's migration strayed into the Whismur's territory, causing a lot of trouble to their residence. Although they temporarily repelled the Diglett, the Whismur obviously had no good countermeasures against the Diglett digging underground."
"So, they wanted to use humans, or rather, warn humans of the danger of Diglett, and then interrupt the Rusturf Tunnel project, wanting humans to help them drive away the foreign Diglett."
"The result is obvious. The two sides have no way to carry out normal communication, coupled with the wrong judgment of the decision-makers, they actually found trainers to drive away the Whismur, causing a further escation of the conflict between the two sides."
Torii was very speechless. The occurrence of this oolong incident reminded him of a Pokémon, Absol.
When Absol senses the omen of disaster, it will appear in front of humans, wanting to warn humans, but in ancient times, they were regarded as a symbol of disaster. All this is due to the ck of understanding of Pokémon and communication with Pokémon.
"Maybe the Whismur didn't want to make trouble at first, but the conflict arose when the trainers directly wanted to use 'force' to solve the problem."
"Clearly harboring good intentions, but the trainers' attitude annoyed Exploud."
Master Katsuragi investigated the conditions near the mountains during the period and discovered the traces of Diglett migration before making a series of judgments and being able to have reasonable communication with Exploud.
After a series of concessions, the two sides resolved their grievances, and what humans mainly need to do next is to be responsible for resolving the impact of a rge number of Diglett on the local ecology.
Unsurprisingly, that farmer will be punished for improper handling of the Diglett, and the person in charge of the Rusturf Tunnel will also be subject to certain penalties.
