Chapter 4318 The power of waveguides is like eating!
Half a day later, Ash and Marie arrived in the skies above the Galar First Mine.
Of course, there is a no-fly zone directly above the mining area.
Even the flying taxis couldn't pass through directly; one of them rode a Steel-Armored Raven, and the other rode a Vulture Na, so they could only fly along the edge from the outside.
Ash looked down and saw Pikachu sitting in front of him.
"Bick~?"
Above him floats Victini, sporting the same expression of looking down and gazing into the distance.
The first mine in Galler was significantly larger than the second mine.
The largest mine entrance is located on the south side of the mountain, with a wide transport platform outside the entrance, and railway and mine car tracks extending southeastward.
Direct access to the airport city, and other transport routes further south.
Before they even got close, a burly man, also riding a Steel Raven and wearing a red helmet, flew over from the side.
The other person was wearing miner's clothes, and his face was still covered in coal dust, but his tone wasn't particularly fierce.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, this area is off-limits."
"If you want to go to Caolu Town, please take a detour!"
The First Mine is located in a remote area, and most people who come here go to Caolu Town.
Xiao Zhi scratched his head and tried asking:
"Um...we'd like to go into the mine to catch some Pokémon, is that allowed?"
The miner glanced at the two of them.
It's not very old, and it even has electric mice on it. Hmm, this is the first time I've seen a flying orange mouse.
They certainly look like trainers.
He didn't directly drive them away, but instead explained:
"This mine is the private property of the Marocomón Group, and outsiders are prohibited from entering without permission."
"However, if it's just a trainer activity, you can enter from the north side of the mine."
At this point, the miner added a special reminder.
"But they can only move around in the area at the foot of the mountain and are not allowed to go deep into the mining area."
This is a rule set by President Loz.
Although the First Mine is owned by the Marocmon Corporation, it is indeed home to a wide variety of wild Pokémon.
After all, it's much larger than the second mine in the east, so it can't be completely monopolized by itself, can it?
It still retains a certain number of open areas for normal trainers to use for catching, battling, and traveling adventures.
Upon hearing this, Mary's eyes lit up.
Perfect timing! The wild Cleaver Commander group she was looking for wasn't in the core area of the mine; the outer area was enough!
After thanking the miner, the two quickly had their flight partner turn around and fly north towards the first mine.
That area is almost entirely adjacent to Caolu Town.
From the air, you can see a smaller mine exit over there, with a wide road leading directly to Caolu Town.
After landing in the north, Ash and Marie retrieved their flight partners one after the other.
The two then looked ahead.
After all, it was a mine, and the surrounding scenery appeared quite desolate.
The brownish-red rocky terrain stretched out in one direction, the ground dry, hard, and rough, with only a few scattered shrubs and grasses occasionally visible at the edges.
The slope of the mountain is not steep and can be walked up normally.
The two walked along the road and soon arrived at the entrance to the mine to the north.
Mining car tracks are also laid here, but they have clearly been abandoned for a long time. The edges of the tracks are covered with rust, and several abandoned engineering vehicles can be seen nearby, some with their wheels stuck in the mud, and some with their carriages half collapsed.
It seems that the mineral deposits here have been almost completely mined out.
As a result, the Maroccomon Group has shifted its mining focus to the other side of the mountain.
Instead, this place has become a paradise for wild Pokémon!
There are plenty of wild Pokémon living around, so there's no need to worry about being disturbed by the brightly lit mining area across the street.
Rockruff, Diglett, Charcoal, and Bronze Elephant are basically Pokémon commonly found in mines.
After looking around, Xiao Zhi quickly turned to look at Marie and smiled:
"Are you looking for the Commander of Slash? Let me look for him for you."
With a thought, his eyes glowed blue, and wave ripples spread out instantly—
During this period, his waveguide power suffered repeated setbacks, being blocked by all sorts of strange things.
Whether they suffered another setback here remains to be seen.
Like eating!
His waveguide could perceive the terrain outside the mountain and even the depth of about fifty meters inside the mine.
However, when Ash continued to extend his senses deeper using the Aura, attempting to cross the mountain and perceive the mining area on the other side—
It seems to have been blocked again.
Xiao Zhi: "."
Okay, I'm used to it anyway~
He wasn't too surprised, he just shrugged helplessly.
However, he has already found several small, grouped teams of wild, cleaving commanders.
"Come with me!"
Ash hooked his hand and walked along the path on the rocky slope beside him.
Mary was overjoyed and quickly followed.
I have to say, having Ash, this human radar, is so convenient!
After walking about a hundred meters, the two heard a series of metallic knocking sounds behind a rocky bend.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Turning the corner, one could see two small soldiers with daggers charging forward on the rocky ground ahead.
They wielded their dagger-like arms, one on the left and one on the right, slashing repeatedly at a small bronze elephant in the middle.
Not far away, a wild Cleaver Commander was standing nearby.
With his arms half-raised, the blade above his head gleaming coldly, his eyes fierce and sharp, he stared intently at the bronze elephant.
"Is the wild Slashing Commander Squad besieging the Bronze Elephant?"
Ash was secretly amazed; such a scene was quite rare. He quickly took out his phone and used Rotom to take two pictures.
Bronze Elephant is also a very representative Pokémon from the Galar Mine.
They are even often hired by humans to help carry heavy objects with their noses.
Faced with the continuous slashes from the two soldiers with daggers, the bronze statue lowered its body, a layer of metallic cold light emanating from its body, and firmly planted its four feet on the ground, managing to withstand all the attacks.
Iron Wall!
Clang clang clang——!
The sharp blade struck its body, constantly sending up tiny sparks.
On the contrary, the two soldiers with daggers were panting heavily, as if their blades had become dull, yet they still couldn't break through the enemy's defenses.
Mary watched this scene and explained softly:
"This is the tactic of the 'Splitting Commander Group': having smaller units constantly launch attacks to continuously deplete the opponent's stamina."
Meanwhile, the leader, Commander of Slashing, observed coldly from the sidelines, looking for an opportunity and ready to deliver the final blow at any moment.
However, it seems we've met our match today.
"Slash."
The leader was already sweating as he slashed at the commander's forehead.
They hacked at the statue for almost ten minutes straight, but still couldn't find its weakness. Instead, they managed to bend the swords of two low-ranking soldiers! (End of Chapter)
