"Doctor, how sure are you about the signal stabilization system?"

"Not sure!"

"Okay, I'll go down in person!"

In the face of Dr. Akihabara's bold response, Kashiwagi decided to give up his fantasy of mini-submarines, and if he came out again like the previous time and went down, it would not be beautiful to see the submarine cave disappear.

Of course.

There is undoubtedly a certain danger in going down to investigate in person, but considering that Lokia's temperament is relatively milder than other Pokémon and is closer to humans, I think it is dangerous, but it will not be particularly great.

Even if they really want to fight, with the technical strength of the Ocean team, they should at least be able to ensure their safety.

Thinking like this, Ah Quan led him to the simple dock at the bottom of the big ship, where a small submarine with the appearance of a sharp toothfish was quietly parked.

It looks hideous and cool.

"The Toothfish submarine can accommodate up to ten people, and with the measurement of the width and length of the entrance by a miniature submarine, it will definitely be able to squeeze in."

Ah Quan opened the hatch of the submarine and was the first to get in.

The cypress followed closely behind, and the first thing that catches your eye is a narrow passageway, and you can take two steps forward to see the slightly spacious interior.

Except for the driver's seat at the front, the rest are filled with soft seats similar to sightseeing coaches, surrounded by translucent glass that can see the outside environment - no, is it a large screen that transmits camera content inside?

He remembered the steel plate of the appearance of the toothfish he saw before he came in, and thought that the black technology of the Pokémon world should not be enough to see through metal.

"Ready!"

Ah Quan gave orders to the ocean team members at the helm.

Immediately.

I heard a buzzing sound, and there was a slight vibration under my feet, and the surrounding waterline gradually rose to completely envelop the submarine, and the bright environment became farther and farther away.

"Aren't you a little nervous?"

Ah Quan, who was sitting next to him, asked with a smile.

"A little." Kashiwagi nodded, after all, Lokia was one of the missions he had traveled, and if it was confirmed that the other party was Ou Lei's, the mission would be half completed.

Ah Quan continued: "If that Lokia is from Oulei, will you try to capture it? ”

"Capture? Of course not. ”

He decisively denied: "Let's not mention whether I have the strength or not, and forcibly bring it back regardless of its opinion, even if the starting point is good, it is actually no different from a bad thing." ”

"That's ......"

"As long as you can communicate with it smoothly, try to convince it as much as possible. Even if Lokia doesn't want to in the end, I have a clear conscience. ”

Kashiwagi has long considered this aspect.

Perhaps after Minoru spreads the word, some people may hope that he will bring back the legendary Pokémon to improve the environment in the Orray region.

Yavin

But in fact, both he and Yama Minoru are willing to let the Oulei people themselves, slowly, from generation to generation, build the Oulei region and create homes with the strength of human beings themselves.

At that time, the sense of belonging of the Oulei people to the land under their feet is not something that can be described in words.

It will no longer be a prison imprisoned by the Shadow Team, but a true soul town, a place haunted by the souls of the Ore.

The help of the legendary Pokémon can exist, but it should not make the Oulei people have a mentality of getting something for nothing.

Ah Quan looked at the cypress with a calm temperament, although he had long felt that this big boy was extraordinary, but at this time, he inexplicably felt that he was as bright as a lamp.

Just like the water sycamore she saw when she was young.

Ah Quan understands that those who have great ideals and aspirations will always emit a dazzling and warm light, guiding all confused people to approach him.

But what she didn't understand was.

There was a night in the distant region of Ou Lei, where the fire trees were full of silver flowers and stars.

Countless aspiring idealists have stepped into the darkness without hesitation, illuminating the light that symbolizes hope and the future, and finding a better path for all.

And the light on the cypress is just one of them.

——

The submarine went to the depths.

Not much.

Diving into the trench, they found a miniature submarine that had stopped in front of a cave under the sea.

"The destination has arrived."

The marine team member at the helm sends out the signal.

"Keep going!" Seeing Kashiwagi nodding, Ah Quan waved his hand.

The Toothfish continued forward, burrowing into the dark cavern, and when it reached a certain distance, the surrounding screen suddenly flickered, as if the video signal was unstable.

"Lost contact with the Emperor Sea Lion!" The marine team member who controls the signal immediately alerts.

"Expected! Don't stop any further! ”

Ah Quan's voice was still calm.

Obviously, the mentality of the leader is very important in the unknown environment, especially in the battle of the extremely authoritative combat department like Ah Quan, as long as she still maintains her composure, the ocean team members present will not be nervous.

I drove inside for two minutes.

The Toothfish ran into a "dead end", but there was no doubt that there was an extra path above them, and there was a wide space above them under sonar detection.

The submarine quickly ascended, and as expected, it broke through the water level and came into a dark cavern.

"Plenty of oxygen!"

"No toxic substances detected!"

A member of the marine team reports aloud the results of the system's inspection.

"Here we are, the cave where Lokia dwells."

Ah Quan was still the first to get up and walk out.

This captain of the combat section is brave in every way, and he once infiltrated the lava team's ship alone to destroy the shackles that imprisoned Gaioka, which can be described as bold and careful.

Kashiwagi followed her and made a leap to the land.

Even if there is a light in front of him, it is still pitch black, and it is empty and lonely in private, and the stone at the top is constantly dripping downward, making a ticking sound, and standing in place, he inexplicably feels a strange breath.

Buzz Buzz –

The whisper in his ears made Kashiwagi turn his head and realize that it was the miniature submarine that had changed to land cruising mode, and it was obvious that it was going to go in with it.

Thinking that this guy had a low-pitched horn to drive away Pokémon, he felt a little relieved.

At the behest of Ah Quan, a team of ten people and four of them stayed behind to defend the Toothfish, leaving no one including her to explore together.

They each opened the Poké Ball.

Bang bang bang!

A series of white lights flickered, and several large, small-looking iron lobsters fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Kashiwagi also released the Galel Sun Coral, and woke it up by tapping its shell twice, and let it stay on his shoulder.

“……”

The Gallere suncoral silently looked around, and then at the iron-clawed lobsters around him, which didn't look too easy to mess with, and knew that work had begun.

The group walked towards the depths of the dark cavern.

However.

The distance was shorter than expected, and at the end of the huge grotto in front of him was a cave that emitted a faint blue light, which, judging by the size of the opening, was large enough to accommodate the size of Lower Lokia.

Kashiwagi and Izumi glanced at each other and walked forward.

In a flash.

As he stepped into the cavern, a cold touch that seemed to pass through a film of water appeared on his hands and face, and at the end of his line of sight, a ...... appeared Huge waterfalls?

The blue glow of the waterfall was emanating from the waterfall, but for some reason the waterfall did not rumble, but was very quiet.

As they entered, a silvery phantom slowly emerged from the waterfall.

"Chirp—"

A long whale chirp sounded.

Everyone's eyes widened, refusing to miss the beautiful figure, but Kashiwagi showed a strange expression.

“…… Hey? ”
