Hearing that Li Wei was going to skip work in the afternoon to go to the back mountain, Comrade Wenhui cautioned, "Be careful when you go to the back mountain. I heard there are many powerful Pokemon there."
For this period, Li Wei had no personal time at all to establish himself at the Breeding Center.
Not only did Li Wei have to shoot and edit videos, he also had to make many Energy Cubes every day, sometimes even custom-made according to the Pokemon's tastes.
Besides that, there were also numerous orders for Pokemon essential oil care, fur management, and more.
In the evenings, he also had to make time to chat with Feebas and learn breeding knowledge.
Now there was also an Arcanine with psychological issues.
Even if Li Wei were split into eight pieces, it wouldn't be enough.
Wen Hui sometimes worried that Li Wei would overwork himself.
As a mother, Wen Hui saw everything, and as soon as she heard Li Wei wanted to go for a stroll in the back mountain, she agreed without hesitation.
Li Wei smiled, "Don't worry, with Lucario and the others, it will be fine."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Lucario, Arcanine, and Metagross!"
Lucario nodded solemnly.
(Please leave it to me!)
"Woof!" (This lord will also protect the Trainer!)
"Kohkin!"
...
This is the eastern suburb of Jubilife City, where there is very little vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and even fewer people specifically go up the mountain.
Lucario had been to the back mountain many times and was already very familiar with the way.
Li Wei rode on Arcanine, the wind whistling in his ears, and the surrounding scenery rapidly receding.
Lucario and Arcanine were also advancing at full speed, moving like lightning.
In just about ten minutes, they successfully arrived at the foot of the mountain.
This was no longer within the scope of the Breeding Center, so climbing the mountain meant Li Wei could not ride Arcanine; he had to climb himself.
This mountain is named Wuyin Mountain on the Sinnoh map, and it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.
It's not high, about 700 meters, an easy climb for Li Wei's physical condition.
Li Wei glanced at the radar; as Li Wei approached the two rare Pokemon, the display range on the radar also narrowed.
Through the comparison of the radar and the mountain terrain, Li WeiLock-On the range to the main peak of Wuyin Mountain.
But he could only Lock-On the main peak; the rest had to be found by Li Wei himself.
This meant that these two Pokemon could be located anywhere on this peak, and it was not impossible for them to be underground.
Especially Larvitar and Gible, who are good at digging holes.
"Lucario, Lucario!"
(The terrain here is very gentle, very suitable for climbing.)
Lucario climbed once every afternoon, which counted as extra physical training.
If they encountered wild Pokemon, then they would battle!
With ample resources recently and a high self-training awareness, Lucario's strength had improved significantly.
His strength had steadily progressed from Gym Leader Junior to Gym Leader Senior, and one more step would be Master Class.
From the time Li Wei awakened the system until now, it had been barely two months.
Above Master Class is Elite Class.
Master Class and even Elite Class wild Pokemon are extremely rare, as it is not so easy for wild Pokemon to acquire resources.
With Lucario present, Li Wei didn't have to worry about safety.
It was winter now, and the trees on the mountain were covered with a thin layer of snow, making it look like a silver-clad world.
While climbing, Li Wei heard the sound of a waterfall; it was perpetually shrouded in mist here, perhaps due to the pervasive water vapor?
This was Li Wei's first time coming to Wuyin Mountain.
To find a target on such a mountain would take several days.
But Li Wei had Lucario, who was very familiar with the area, and more importantly, he had a method.
Li Wei directly used his phone to search for images of future-promising Pokemon and their evolutions from each region.
Dratini, Larvitar, Bagon, Gible… all the way to Dreepy and Frigibax.
"Have you seen them here?"
"Lucario!"
(I've seen it!)
"Take me to find it, let's go to where you saw it first."
"Woof~ ~" ┗|｀O′|┛ Woof~ ~
(Charge! ! !)
Arcanine shot out like an arrow from a bowstring.
Lucario pointed in another direction.
(To go up the mountain, take that path!)
"..."
Arcanine tilted his head, stunned on the spot, and after a few seconds… started biting wildly at the air, seemingly wanting to devour the air in front of Lucario.
(Why didn't you tell this lord earlier!)
Since it wasn't an urgent matter, Li Wei and Lucario climbed at a steady pace.
Along the way, they encountered many Pokemon.
Snorunt, Froslass, Snover, Swinub… From this, it was clear that the ecological environment was quite good.
Most of them chose to avoid Lucario when they saw him.
Because most of those who dared to challenge Lucario had already been defeated by him.
The mountain did not only have Ice-type Pokemon; it was just that in winter, some hibernated, and some temporarily migrated.
After about an hour of climbing, they reached the halfway point of the mountain.
"How much further do we have?"
(At this speed, about half an hour, they are at the highest point.)
Li Wei murmured slightly, "Highest point…"
In the same region, the terrain occupied by wild Pokemon generally indicates their strength.
Occupying the highest point on the main peak of Wuyin Mountain, the probability of one of them being a final evolution is relatively high.
The mountain path was quiet and the slope was gentle, and Li Wei did not climb quickly, so when he reached the highest point, his breathing was very steady.
The thin mist on the mountaintop did not dissipate, but rather grew thicker.
This was not the true summit; it was a flat area on the peak, and climbing higher without flying would be extremely difficult.
Li Wei had no intention of courting death, and he had already reached his destination.
What surprised Li Wei greatly was that there was a building here!
Because it was hidden in the clouds and mist, Li Wei only vaguely saw the silhouette of the ancient building when he climbed the last few steps.
Lucario pointed at the ancient building and told Li Wei telepathically, "This is it."
This was an old-looking two-story wooden building with a somewhat dilapidated but still tightly closed main door, and a thin layer of snow on the roof.
There should be no one here.
Lucario had said that he had been here so many times and had never encountered anyone.
Li Wei's first reaction was confusion: who would be so bored as to build a small building on such a mountain?
His second reaction was that the two Pokemon, though unowned, lived in such a building?
The scanning function had a special note: it would only display unowned rare Pokemon within a hundred-mile radius.
This meant that these two Pokemon definitely did not have a Trainer.
Unowned yet living in a man-made structure, it truly baffled Li Wei.
"Woof!!!"
Arcanine dashed forward, about to charge into the ancient building.
"Wait a moment!"
Arcanine was like the legendary "let go and gone", entering the ancient building first.
"Never mind, let's go in too, Lucario, find their location!"
"Kohkin!"
"Lucario!"
(The power of Aura lies within my heart!)
