39: Section 39

“However, while weather-type skills are powerful, normally, neither their scope of influence nor their duration should be this exaggerated.”

“The reason this situation occurred is primarily because the current Sunny Day is a special case resulting from many Pokémon collectively using the same skill.”

Although Zhang Yu had provided a very detailed introduction to weather-type skills, he had actually concealed some information.

That is, special existences like Legendary creatures and Illusionary Pokemon can, solely through their individual power, create effects even more exaggerated than the combined Sunny Day used by Venusaur and other Pokémon.

“Is that actually a weather-type skill called Sunny Day?”

“Can Pokémon learn more than one weather-type skill? So, does that mean Pokémon that have learned weather-type skills can all be considered meteorological weapons?”

“No, it’s still different. The weather-type skills used by Pokémon are clearly much milder. You can tell this from the effect of Sunny Day.”

“Indeed, while the sun made people feel a bit hot, there seemed to be nothing else besides that.”

“This is normal. After all, the essence of weather-type skills is to enhance or weaken specific skills by changing the weather. The change in weather is merely a byproduct.”

“Although Pokémon’s weather-type skills are different from the meteorological weapons we imagine, they should be able to withstand meteorological weapons.”

“Hey, hey! Can you guys stop always thinking about things related to meteorological weapons? That’s really too scary. Let’s talk about something practical, shall we?”

“Practical? That would probably be farmers going wild with joy.”

“Indeed, weather problems have always been a major issue for farmers, but with Pokémon, it seems this problem can indeed be solved.”

“Does this mean we no longer have to worry about crop reductions caused by weather problems in the future?”

“This matter is not as simple as you think. Not to mention how humans will be able to capture so many Pokémon, just knowing which weather-type skills those Pokémon can learn is a problem.”

“Yes, although Pokémon’s weather-type skills are indeed helpful in this regard, it’s not easy to truly make an impact in this area.”

After hearing the specific news about Sunny Day from Zhang Yu, many Water Friends were very surprised.

They clearly hadn't expected that the shocking scene they witnessed was actually only a partial effect of the skill.

What shocked them even more was that Pokémon could also use other weather-type skills!

Doesn't this mean that if they wanted to, they could even manipulate the weather at will?

This was a situation they had never imagined before...

“Woof~”

Just as Zhang Yu was about to say something more, a dog bark suddenly came from ahead.

Worried that Growlithe might be in danger, Zhang Yu immediately looked in the direction the sound came from upon hearing it.

Then he saw Growlithe standing in front of a cave, barking at him.

It seemed Growlithe wasn't in danger, but had made an unexpected discovery.

“A cave?”

Upon seeing the cave, Zhang Yu couldn't help but frown.

This wasn't because he felt any danger, but rather that upon seeing the cave, he immediately thought of the underground dungeons in games where Pokémon are spawned.

Could it be that the cave he was currently encountering was just like that?

If that were really the case, wouldn't it mean there would be many Pokémon inside this cave?

But regardless of whether it was as he had guessed, he would have to go inside to find out.

“Since there’s a cave here, let’s go in and take a look.”

“I just don’t know if this is some Pokémon’s nest.”

Thinking this, Zhang Yu led the way inside.

As for the lighting problem?

There was no need to worry about this, as Charmeleon’s tail had a large ball of flame on it, especially when he deliberately activated it, it would burn extremely brightly, completely illuminating a section of the cave’s passage.

If there was any drawback, it was that doing so would accelerate Charmeleon’s stamina consumption.

The reason he said “a section of the passage” was because Zhang Yu found that the cave was unexpectedly deep; they had been walking for several minutes now and still hadn’t reached the end.

Moreover, this cave didn't seem to be what he had imagined, a cave inhabited by Pokémon; at least so far, he hadn't seen a single Pokémon.

And besides that, he also found some traces of excavation.

If there were no surprises, this cave was very likely not naturally formed, but rather excavated by humans an unknown number of years ago.

“What exactly is going on with this cave?”

“I don’t know, but it shouldn’t be a Pokémon’s nest. After all, we haven’t seen a single Pokémon so far.”

“I wonder if you guys noticed the traces around here. I always feel like they look a bit like excavation marks.”

“Excavation marks? No way?”

“Actually, I also felt that some of the traces looked very much like excavation marks, but I wasn’t too sure before. But from the current situation, it seems that’s indeed the case.”

“Are you saying that humans used to live here?”

“Is it strange for humans to have lived here?”

“Hey, hey! Upstairs, don’t forget, this is the Unknown Land! If humans really lived here, then it means the places where Pokémon come from also have humans!”

“It’s not necessarily humans, right? Maybe some Pokémon created this cave?”

“Indeed, that possibility cannot be ruled out.”

“No, the fact that there are humans has actually been confirmed long ago. After all, Anchor said before that Growlithe is a very human-friendly Pokémon. If his original living environment didn't have humans, then where would the saying ‘human-friendly’ come from?”

“That is indeed a problem.”

“But if that’s really the case, why have we only seen Pokémon so far and no humans?”

“I don’t know. Maybe those people are all dead, or they’re hiding. After all, you know how our Blue Star treated Pokémon before. In that situation, it’s normal for them not to want to show themselves, right?”

The Water Friends in the live broadcast room were also very interested in this cave.

However, as Zhang Yu continued to advance, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room also underwent a subtle change.

Perhaps at first they weren't too sure, but after seeing it, they had confirmed that there were a large number of excavation traces in this cave.

And all these traces indicated one thing — humans had lived here, and they were humans from the Unknown Land!

“Instead of thinking about all those irrelevant things, why don’t you help me find if there’s anything intact in this ruin? After all, we can’t just come here for nothing, can we? We have to see something.”

After noticing that the bullet comments in the live broadcast room were becoming increasingly strange, Zhang Yu couldn't help but remind them that what he was currently encountering was more important.

As for the ruin he mentioned, it was a piece of crumbling ruins he discovered after walking into the cave.

However, despite saying so, he didn't rely too much on the Water Friends in the live broadcast room, but immediately began searching the surroundings.

As for the search method?

Of course, it was by using Aura. Although the Aura of stones and soil was much weaker compared to living creatures, if he sensed carefully, he could still perceive it.

It was precisely because of this that he quickly found a relatively intact stone slab in a corner of these crumbling ruins, which recorded some patterns, or rather, drawings.

“The Pokémon drawn on this stone slab… seems to be Entei?”

He didn't know if it was because the drawings on this stone slab were inherently abstract, or because it was too broken now.

Zhang Yu, at first glance, couldn't recognize which Pokémon was drawn on it.

It was only after he combined the content recorded on it that he determined the identity of this Pokémon.

“My goodness! There’s even a ruin inside this cave?”

“It seems that the fact that there are humans in the Unknown Land can really be confirmed.”

“This ruin is really quite dilapidated. As far as the eye can see, there isn’t even a single relatively intact place.”

“Who said there’s nothing intact? Didn’t Anchor just find something?”

“What is this? A stone slab?”

“It looks like a stone slab that records ancient myths and legends.”

“It seems to be true, except that in our myths and legends there are gods and such, while theirs seem to be Pokémon?”

“Perhaps it should be called a Divine Beast. Although I can’t understand the content recorded on it, I just have a feeling it’s very powerful. This Pokémon is definitely not simple!”

“Entei? Does Anchor know this Pokémon?”

“I have to say, this name is really domineering. Presumably, this Pokémon must be very powerful, right? I just don’t know how it compares to Gyarados and Venusaur.”

“We’ve only heard a name so far, how could we know so much?”

“So, Anchor, stop keeping us in suspense and quickly tell us what kind of Pokémon this Entei is!”

When the Water Friends saw the ruins in the cave, they were all very surprised.

After all, the scale of this ruin was truly not small; even a conservative estimate would put the number of people who lived here at over a hundred.

This number might seem insignificant in modern times, but in ancient times, it was definitely not a small number!

However, what surprised them even more was the content recorded on the stone slab that Zhang Yu subsequently discovered.

Although they couldn't understand the content on it, they still grasped a few points of what it was trying to convey: the Pokémon drawn on it was extremely powerful!
