After Qishu and the others left with the criminal trainer, Eddie and young Larvitar continued to explore the mine.
The man and his two Pokémon walked for a distance and finally passed the section where the mining lamp was damaged.
After walking for a while, little Larvitar ran in one direction with a small shovel. When it reached a corner, it started digging with the shovel skillfully.
"Larvitar, what's wrong? Have you found anything?" Eddie asked.
Larvitar didn't answer Eddie, but just buried his head in digging. After a while, he turned his dusty face away, raised a fist-sized stone and smiled brightly at Eddie.
What it held in its hand was the Silver-gold stone.
"Lar~Lar~Larvitar~" See, I told you that I could dig it up, but you didn't believe me.
Little Larvitar's face was full of pride.
Eddie walked over and took the Silver-gold stone. He checked it and found that the purity was quite high. Just with this piece of stone, he earned back the ticket money. After all, the ticket price was relatively cheap.
Of course, it's only worth the ticket price, just a small piece.
"Okay, okay, you are so awesome. I will help you collect them and give them to you to eat when we get home." Eddie said as he neatly put the Silver-gold stones into his space backpack.
Young Larvitar looked at the disappearing Silver-gold stone with reluctance in his eyes, and he wanted to taste it now.
Does it taste the same when you dig it yourself or buy it? (Eddie: They are all excuses, you are just greedy!)
Eddie patted its belly and said, "Keep working hard and try to find more, so you can eat as much as you want!"
"Yo~ Yo~"
Upon hearing this, young Larvitar immediately became full of energy. He raised his small shovel and said that he would find all the Silver-gold stones in the entire mine.
After saying that, little Larvitar ran out, digging left and right in every corner along the way.
However, the truth was cruel. Except for the first one, young Larvitar never found a second Silver-gold stone, and his mood became visibly depressed.
Eddie comforted it and said, "Well, even if you didn't find the Silver-gold stone, didn't you still dig up so much soil? It's not bad to give it to you as a snack, it's worth it!"
Little Larvatar did not become happy because of Eddie's comfort. He walked forward dejectedly, and the small shovel in his hand changed from being carried to being dragged.
On the way, Eddie and his friends met several trainers one after another. When they told him that someone had dug up several pieces of Silver-gold stones, young Larvitar was so envious that his saliva was almost flowing.
As they went deeper into the mine, Eddie and his friends met more and more trainers. Some came to mine, while others came to capture the legendary Eevee.
However, Eevee and the others didn't see it, but Wynaut appeared in the mine, so many trainers went to chase Wynaut again.
Eddie felt that if there was no mine at home, it would be better not to touch Pokémon like Wynaut, as raising that guy was like burning money.
But Eddie has no right to criticize others. After all, he is raising a young Larvitar who is more expensive than Wynaut.
Others only need to eat ore, but young Larvitar must not only eat good ore, but also eat Pokémon food made from A-level fruit in order to grow to the maximum extent.
Fortunately, Eddie can cultivate fruit trees by himself and now has some savings.
Little Larvitar didn't know that his trainer was secretly disliking his edibleness. He was staring in one direction with his eyes sharp.
"Little Larvitar, what are you looking at?" Eddie asked in confusion when he saw Little Larvitar suddenly standing there motionless.
"Yo~ Yo~"
Young Larvitar pointed to a dark corner and shouted excitedly.
Although mining lamps were installed in the mine, they could not illuminate every corner, and some corners were still pitch black.
This was the place that Young Larvitar was pointing to.
"What's there?" Eddie turned on the flashlight and walked over carefully.
When he got there and looked, he saw a few Drilbur huddled in the corner.
The Drilbur were very timid. When they saw Eddie suddenly appear, they were frightened and shrank into the corner, trembling.
"It turns out they are just a few Drilbur." Eddie breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there was something else. "Little Larvitar, you... you are not so greedy that you even want to eat the Drilbur, right?"
The Drilbur were so frightened when they heard this that they started spinning at high speed and disappeared into the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Yo~ Yo~"
When little Larvitar saw the Drilbur disappear, he was very angry and kept pulling Eddie's pants hard, almost tearing Eddie's pants off.
"What are you doing? You don't really want to eat the Drilbur, do you? You can't eat them!" Eddie said, holding up his pants.
When young Larvitar heard this, he became even angrier. He told Eddie that if they had Drilbur leading the way, their chances of finding ore would be much greater.
"Is there such a thing?" Eddie was surprised.
"Yo~ Yo~" Now you're scared away!
Young Larvitar puffed up his face angrily.
"How about we look for it again?" Eddie said.
Little Larvitar nodded, and ran to the entrance of the cave dug by the Drilbur. He stretched his neck to look inside, but he couldn't see anything, and he accidentally got his head stuck inside.
Eddie quickly pulled it out by its legs.
"Which direction should we look?" Eddie was in distress.
Little Larvitar's head was covered with dirt. He leaned against Eddie's feet, sitting with his legs spread out, his little face also full of distress.
"That's right!"
Eddie had an idea and took out Gardevoir's Poké Ball and released Gardevoir.
"Mom, see if you can use your psychic powers to sense which direction this passage leads to." Eddie said, pointing to the tunnel dug by the Drilbur.
"Gardevoir~" I'll try.
Gardevoir walked to the entrance of the cave, slowly closed his eyes, and extended his mental power into the tunnel. It took a while before he opened his eyes.
"Gardevoir~Gardevoir~" It seems to be there!
Gardevoir pointed in a direction and said.
Hearing this, Eddie pulled up the young Larvitar who was slumped on the ground and said, "Okay, let's look in this direction now. We will definitely find it."
"Yo~"
Eddie's words ignited the fighting spirit of young Larvitar. It dragged its small shovel and ran in the direction indicated by Gardevoir.
Eddie hurriedly took Gardevoir and the Helioptile to chase after them.
No one knew how long they had been running, but Eddie and his friends ran further and further off the track, and finally they ran straight out of the mine.
Eddie looked at the map in his hand and found that the exit they came out of was not any of the seven entrances and exits marked on the map.
Looking at the rocky mountain in front of him, Eddie looked at Gardevoir and asked, "Mom, are you sure the tunnel dug by Drilbur leads to this direction?"
"Gardevoir~Gardevoir~" Probably. They dug too deep, so I could only sense it vaguely.
Gardevoir also looked uncertain.
Eddie looked at Little Larvitar again, "Can they really find ore by following the Drilbur? They are already outside the mine!"
"Yo? Yo?"
Young Larvitar also became uncertain.
"Helioptile~Helioptile~"
At this time, the Helioptile suddenly pointed in a direction and cried out. Eddie and the others looked in that direction and saw several Drilbur hiding behind a rock and secretly watching them.
"Chase!"
After Eddie said this, he took the lead and ran towards the rock where the Drilbur were.
When Drilbur saw that Eddie and the others had discovered him, he turned around and ran away.
Eddie and his friends chased and chased, and Drilbur and his friends ran and ran. It was unknown how long it had been. When Eddie was about to catch up with Drilbur, suddenly Drilbur stopped.
Suddenly, they all jumped up, and then fell heavily to the ground. As they fell, an earth-yellow light spread over the earth.
Eddie thought to himself that something was wrong. Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on the ground.
Before Eddie and the others could react, a bottomless pit appeared on the ground, and Eddie and several Pokémon fell uncontrollably.
"Ahhh…"
No one knew how deep the pit was. Eddie and the others fell for a long time but couldn't reach the bottom. In the end, Gardevoir used his psychic powers to support them in time and brought them slowly down. Otherwise, they would have fallen to their deaths.
Along with Eddie and the others fell down, there were also some Drilbur, but they didn't have Gardevoir's psychic powers to catch them, and they landed much earlier than Eddie and the others, and by then, no one knew where they had already run away.
Their bodies are hard, so they won't die even if they fall from a height, and the soil below is soft.
There was actually another world beneath the deep pit where Eddie and his companions fell. A long passage appeared in front of them, winding its way to an unknown place.
"Let's go over and take a look." Eddie turned on the flashlight and said to the Pokémon.
"Gardevoir~"
"Helioptile~"
"Yo~"
The three Pokémon responded and followed Eddie closely.
The passage was very long. Eddie and his companions walked for a very long time before they saw a ray of light. When they got out of the passage, a beautiful flower field appeared in front of them.
The flower fields were full of colorful flowers and filled with rich fragrance. Above the flower fields were flying colorful butterflies, Beautifly, Masquerain, Vespiquen, etc. Eddie even wondered if he had fallen into a paradise.
When the Pokémon in the flower field saw the strangers appear, they were not afraid. Instead, they looked at Eddie and the others with curiosity.
Eddie walked into the flower field, and suddenly saw a villa in the distance.
There are people living here?
Eddie was extremely surprised. He thought he had mistakenly entered the deep mountains and forests.
"Let's go and take a look." Eddie said to the Pokémon around him.
Eddie led the three Pokémon towards the villa. When he walked in, he found that the villa was decorated very exquisitely and beautifully.
The villa does not occupy a large area. It is a simple two-story building, which is white in color. However, the walls around the villa are covered with vines with yellow flowers, making the whole villa look deep and mysterious.
Eddie stood at the door and looked inside. Suddenly, a beautiful girl appeared in his sight. She was so beautiful that it was heartbreaking.
The girl was tall and looked about eighteen years old. She had fiery red hair that was simply tied into a ponytail and trailed behind her.
She was wearing a light yellow knee-length skirt, and she was as beautiful as a painting just standing there.
Eddie had never seen such a beautiful girl. Even beauties like Diantha were not as attractive as the girl in front of him.
Just when Eddie was in a daze, the girl in the yard also noticed Eddie.
"Oh my." The girl exclaimed, "We actually have guests here. This is really rare."
The girl's voice was different from what Eddie had imagined. It didn't have that crisp feeling, but rather sounded like a queen's voice.
She was watering the flowers and plants in the yard. Seeing this, she quickly put down the kettle and walked in.
"Little friend, where are you from?" the girl asked after opening the gate.
Eddie replied somewhat awkwardly: "I came here by mistake, so I wanted to ask where this is."
The girl suddenly realized what was going on: "So that's how it is. Why don't you come in and sit down first?" As she said that, she stepped aside and motioned Eddie to come in.
"Excuse me for bothering you then." Eddie nodded and took Gardevoir and the others into the yard.
As the girl closed the gate, she looked at Gardevoir and the others and asked Eddie, "Are you a trainer? Are you here to explore the area?"
"I guess so." Eddie replied.
At this moment, he suddenly saw the few Drilbur in the corner of the yard, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's you!"
The Drilbur were frightened by Eddie's voice and quickly hid in the flowers.
"Do you know Drilbur?" The girl looked at Eddie in surprise.
"Actually, I just came here following the Drilbur." Eddie said embarrassedly. He didn't expect that the Drilbur actually had an owner.
Although he had no intention of doing anything to the Drilbur, he still felt a little embarrassed.
"Oh~" the girl said meaningfully, then looked at the flowers where the Drilbur were hiding and said, "Are you going to the mine again?"
There was a rustling sound among the flowers, but the Drilbur did not show their heads.
Seeing this, the girl didn't say anything more.
There was a table in the middle of the yard. The girl asked Eddie to sit down and asked, "I haven't asked what your name is yet."
"My name is Eddie. What is your name?" Eddie said.
"Hehehe...Sister~ Never mind, you can just call me sister."
Hearing Eddie's question, the girl suddenly laughed for some reason. Seeing Eddie's puzzled expression, she did not explain, but just said:
"My name is Flambeau."
"Sister Flambeau." Eddie muttered silently.
"Are you here to mine?" Flambeau asked.
"Yes, I originally wanted to ask the Drilbur to help me find ore, but I didn't expect them to run so fast, so I chased them all the way here." Eddie explained.
Flambeau chuckled when he heard this and said, "Even if you ask them for help, you won't be able to find a few pieces of ore."
Eddie asked in confusion: "How do you know?"
Flambeau asked playfully, "Who do you think the owner of that mine is?"
Who is it? Eddie couldn't remember it for a moment, but when he saw Flambeau looking at him with a playful expression, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind.
"Could it be Sister Flambeau..."
"That's right!" Flambeau said, "That mine is exactly mine. Not only that mine, but also the land around it is in my name."
Rich woman!
Eddie was stunned.
