Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 29 Traces, Departure

"Is this the place?" Qi Hao had only followed the old aluminum steel dragon for a few steps when he saw him stop. This was too close, but the closer they were, the more likely it was that something had happened to Lü Gang.

Old Aluminum Steel Dragon pushed the door but couldn't move it, so he knocked on it and then shouted, "Roar! (Lu Gang!)"

As expected, he received no response. Seeing this, he punched the door until it shattered.

hong!

The wooden door shattered, revealing a chaotic space with meat lying on the ground and the lamps still burning.

"Roar? (Where's the dragon?)" The old aluminum steel dragon hurriedly searched, but couldn't find a trace of it.

Qi Hao rested his chin on his hand and looked around at his surroundings.

“Footprints? No. Window? No.” Saying this, he lay down on the ground. “┌(。Д。)┐ There’s no flooring, but there’s something underneath the meat.”

"Gold? (How did such a big elf disappear?)" Xiao Tie asked, then he braced himself against the wall.

patter

The wall was easily torn apart. Xiao Tie raised his hand and found that his hand was covered in black.

"What is this? It's turned into charcoal?" Qi Hao rubbed some ash off the wall that Xiao Tie's hand was pressing on with his finger. The wooden wall was still warm, but it didn't burn as expected. Instead, it felt damp.

"Roar! (Looks like they're the same group.)" The old aluminum steel dragon crossed his arms, pondering how to quietly take away an aluminum steel dragon in such a small place.

“┌(。w。)┐ No, very wrong, ten percent or even nine-tenths wrong.” Qi Hao kept groping on the ground, trying to find some clues because the light was too dim.

"┌(┌ ???)┐ I'm thinking, this floor is pretty solid, but isn't it a bit strange that the freshly turned soil is still a little damp?" Qi Hao's face was almost touching the ground.

"Host, you might as well be bolder."

[That's exactly what I meant!]

"Uncle! Xiao Tie! Pack up the food first!" Qi Hao said, and he and Xiao Tie moved the food outside. Seeing this, Lao Luganglong also moved the remaining food outside.

Before long, the kitchen was empty.

"Xiao Tie! Earthquake!" Qi Hao commanded.

Xiao Tie raised his hand, and brown light gradually gathered before blasting the ground!

coax!

After a violent earthquake, the ground sank slightly, though not deeply, in a linear fashion, extending straight towards the corner of the wall.

Then Qi Hao and the elves walked out of the kitchen, and sure enough, there were recesses leading to all the houses here, one of which extended even deeper into the cave.

"Huh? (This is impossible! We've dug it up before, but we found nothing!)" Old Aluminum Steel Dragon exclaimed in surprise.

"┌(。Д。)┐Chirp! (This! This! This! An expert!! This technique, this size! This stability! A genius in the digging world! Mouse has been amazed!)" Mouse dug into the ground, exclaiming in amazement.

"Is it because it's too small? So it collapsed automatically when you were digging, making it difficult to notice. This time, due to the large-scale damage, the depression is even more obvious." Qi Hao said, watching the mouse dig open the hole.

The hole wasn't big, only slightly larger than a human head. It's safe to say it wasn't made by a human.

"That's strange. Only Pokémon can fit through this hole, right? Even Duraludon can't get through such a small hole." Qi Hao scratched his head, which is what he did when he couldn't figure things out.

"Gold? (Can you catch Pokémon with Poké Balls? You should be able to catch them with those, right?)" Xiao Tie's first thought was Poké Balls, as he had one of those compressed Pokémon.

"So someone gave Pokémon Poké Balls so that Pokémon could use them to catch other Pokémon?" Qi Hao sorted out his thoughts.

"Huh? (What did you say? What ball? What Pokémon?)" The old Dalmatian was a little confused.

“It’s okay if you don’t understand, we’ll just follow this path!” Qi Hao said, leading Xiao Tie and his uncle toward the direction of the depression. Old Aluminum Steel Dragon followed behind.

After visiting all the rooms, only one direction remained: the interior of the cave.

But when Qi Hao and his group reached the end, all they found were dark stone cave walls.

Qi Hao leaned against the wall and looked at the broken clue.

He gave up thinking and slammed his fist into the wall. Boom! The wall shattered instantly. Yeah, it was solid.

“(??ДO?) Oh ho! Oh ho! Oh ho ho ho!” Qi Hao jumped around in pain like Tom the cat, clutching his arms. The shattered wall revealed stones that were consistent inside and out.

!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ Don't be so reckless! 』

"Wow! (Absolutely amazing!)"

"Jin! (You'll get used to it!)"

"Roar! (Awe-inspiring sound throughout the audience!)"

The aluminum-steel dragons watching the show from afar:

“(:.;?;益;?;益;?;益;?;益;?;益;?;益;?;益;?;.)Roar! (Terrifying!)”

It took Qi Hao a while to recover: "(╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻Mouse! Dig him up! I can't live like this anymore!"

"Chirp! (It's my little mouse again at the crucial moment!)" With its arms flying, dust flew up, and a large crater appeared on the ground with the mouse in the center.

With a whoosh, the mouse's paw missed its target.

"Chirp? (What is this?)" A tunnel, barely big enough to fit one person, appeared before them.

"Found it! Found it!" Qi Hao rushed into the tunnel impatiently. His 1.7-meter frame was a bit cramped here, and he had to bend over. "So small?"

"Jin! (Big brother, be careful! There might be some danger!)" Little Iron and Mouse followed closely behind. If Little Iron were any wider, he might get stuck.

Old Aluminum Steel Dragon walked over, drew a line with his pen, and shook his head in disappointment; he was too big to fit.

"Huh? (Why is it so small?)" He stood at the entrance, his over two-meter height, which couldn't be reduced, making it impossible for him to enter. "Huh! (Looks like even the size of the tunnel was designed in advance!)"

"Hoo! (Young man! The rest is up to you! Of course, you can leave now if you want, we can figure it out ourselves, it's too dangerous for one person!)"

Qi Hao turned around to face the old aluminum steel dragon. His eyes couldn't hide his worry, but neither could his yearning. After all, no matter how carefree he might seem, he was still the clan leader and had a responsibility to his people.

"I have bad news and good news, which do you want to hear?" the system's voice popped up again.

[?_? Huh? Then tell me the bad stuff first.]

"The bad news is that this opponent is capable of seriously injuring you; after all, humans can't defend against sharp weapons. In other words, you really can't withstand it this time; you'll die."

[(ー ー゛) Really? Will I die?]

[╮(￣⊿￣)╭ Pshaw! Do you think I'm scared? I've died once already, okay!]

'Σ( ° △ °|||)︴Hey, hey, hey, think about it again!'

[I'm going without hesitation.]

"Wait for me to come back, Uncle!" After saying that, he patted the old aluminum steel dragon's arm and turned to walk deeper into the tunnel.

"Hoo... (Well... I'll wait for you to come back, be careful!)"

In response, he was greeted by Qi Hao's back view and a thumbs-up.
