Wuyin Mountain, the small building on the mountaintop.
After Arcanine took the lead and entered, Li Wei, Lucario, and Metagross followed closely into this somewhat dilapidated small building.
"Lucario?"
Lucario's expression was a little startled.
This small building was not big; with Lucario's Aura power, it could easily cover it.
"What's wrong?"
Lucario asked in surprise, "Lucario! Lucario!"
(I can't find it! Aura can't detect it!)
Li Wei was confused, "Is it not here?"
Li Wei glanced at the radar scan, and the green light spot had not disappeared.
The red dot representing Li Wei almost completely overlapped with the green light spot, indicating that they had not come to the wrong place.
Li Wei speculated, "There's one possibility: you only saw it then because it happened to be here, right?"
If they didn't live here, then Li Wei would have to take Lucario outside to search.
"Kohkin!" Metagross pointed to Arcanine, who was sniffing around, and then pointed to the stair railings on both sides.
The meaning was clear: look around.
"Woof!!!"
(It says there's still a scent here.)
"You're right, let's look for it!"
After entering this two-story building, Li Wei could confirm that no one had been here for a long time.
Furniture and decorations were covered with white sheets, stairs and corners were full of cobwebs, and the handrails had a thick layer of dust.
"Action!"
Li Wei and Lucario formed one group, while Arcanine and Metagross each formed a group, searching this two-story building.
The kitchen, bedroom, walk-in closet…
Li Wei even opened the refrigerator, which had been without power for a long time; it was empty, with no gruesome dismembered bodies.
This brought Detective Li Wei's investigation to an end.
Based on the refrigerator's style and degree of aging, Li Wei estimated that it was older than him.
"Kohkin!"
Standing in the corridor on the second floor, Li Wei and Lucario looked in Metagross's direction.
(It says something's strange!)
In the living room on the first floor, Metagross seemed to have found something.
Li Wei and Lucario exchanged glances.
"Let's go!"
But strangely, Lucario still couldn't sense any other fluctuations within the house besides their own.
Li Wei, Lucario, and Arcanine arrived in the living room one after another, looking at the old television set from which the white sheet had been pulled off.
It was an old model, a black-and-white television with a screen no larger than 14 inches, and it seemed to have nothing unusual about it.
Li Wei tried pressing a button, but it didn't turn on.
This was normal; there was no electricity here at all.
"Where's the strange part?"
"Kohkin! Kohkin!"
Hearing Metagross's words, Lucario's expression became very rich for a moment, indescribable.
Arcanine also tilted its head, stunned frozen in place.
Li Wei was also bewildered, "What does that mean?"
(This is a television set that doesn't have long to live.)
Lucario translated Metagross's words for Li Wei.
???
Excuse me?
Li Wei reasonably suspected that Metagross was teasing him.
Then, Metagross used its actions to show Li Wei: a glow appeared on its metal arm, Arm Hammer!
Li Wei saw the usual method for fixing a television:
At a forty-five-degree angle, hit it hard.
A human hitting it was fine, but Metagross was not.
Li Wei no longer had time to stop it.
With sparks and lightning all the way,
Bang—
The old television set was obliterated.
Metagross was indeed right.
This television set truly didn't have long to live.
The explosion raised dust, stirring up a cloud of smoke.
Lucario immediately used Protect, shielding Li Wei.
At the same time, Lucario's telepathy conveyed an excited sound, (It appeared!)
"..."
Holy cow, it actually worked?!
How did they hide inside?!
There were so many things to complain about, Li Wei didn't know where to start for a moment.
As the dust and smoke dissipated, two figures floating in the air gradually emerged: Dragapult and Drakloak!
In front was Dragapult, over three meters long, with a slender body in purple and blue, a translucent white tail tip, and a yellow chest and abdomen.
Its most distinctive features were its triangular head, resembling a B2 stealth bomber, and a pair of mischievous squinting eyes.
As is well known, those with squinting eyes are often monsters.
Two Dreepy resided in the launchers on its head, which could be fired at supersonic speed as Dragon Darts.
Behind Dragapult, partially revealed to its side, was a Drakloak, about 1.8 meters long including its tail.
Drakloak's overall color was very similar to Dragapult's, and its head resembled a supersonic fighter jet, with a Dreepy perched on top.
The Identification Eye provided their information.
This was a pseudo-legendary mother and child pair; Dragapult vigilantly half-hid Drakloak behind it.
Dragapult's strength rating was Gym Leader-level, on par with Lucario.
"Gurgle…"
Dragapult seemed to be quite old; its physique was still good, but Li Wei felt a sense of age from its eyes.
Drakloak's eyes, on the other hand, were as clear and foolish as a university student's, looking at them with curiosity.
"Duru?"
And the Dreepy on Drakloak's head also blinked its eyes, excitedly raising its paw, "Dreepy!"
Unlike the vigilant Dragapult, Drakloak was quite happy that the television was destroyed.
"Dragapult, I'm sorry for destroying your television. I can compensate you."
"Gurgle, gurgle."
As Dragapult spoke, Li Wei could feel its age even more.
(It said no need, you can just leave.)
Although Dragapult had asked them to leave, Li Wei had thick skin and did not leave for the time being.
Li Wei pondered, being able to appear on the radar meant that Dragapult did not have a Trainer.
Li Wei had just looked at this house; there was no food, no electricity, no valuable items…
So why was Dragapult staying here?
While Li Wei was thinking, the very curious Drakloak came in front of Li Wei, looking up at him.
Drakloak's body length exceeded 1.8 meters, but nearly half of that was its tail.
The Dreepy on Drakloak's head was even more curious, flying directly onto Li Wei's shoulder and acting like a scarf.
Li Wei raised his hand and touched it, "Hello there."
Dreepy's body temperature was not high, cool to the touch, and the texture of its scales was very clear.
After the Dreepy on Drakloak's head disappeared, its curiosity vanished, and it became slightly flustered.
Li Wei knew the DragapultFamily very well, after all, he had just taken Qinglv's breeding course.
Compared to Dragapult, the doting mother Pokemon who would launch its two Dreepy like missiles at the drop of a hat,
Drakloak couldn't be without the Dreepy on its head; if it didn't have it, it would become angry and flustered.
"You can borrow this for now."
Li Wei gently placed the Black Rayquaza's Dragon Scale from his backpack onto Drakloak's head.
"Duru~~"
Drakloak visibly let out a sigh of relief.
"Gurgle!"
Dragapult's tone became a little urgent, until it saw the Black Dragon Scale on Drakloak's head…
