Chapter 72: 72

Alex noticed that the trees were getting fewer and fewer as he walked through the forest.

He knew that he would soon be out of the forest of the mountain chain.

After a few minutes, Alex suddenly saw a stony path that led through many small hills. He also saw from a distance that many Rock-type Pokémon lived on this mountain. As far as Alex knows, Rock and Steel-type Pokémon can only feed on rocks and metals. For example, Shieldon food consists of 80% valuable metal (steel, gold, etc.)

Alex and his Pokémon looked at the beautiful landscape as they walked along the traveling path. This path was relatively safe for trainers to cross because it was rare for Pokémon to appear here. Although it is not uncommon, it is one of the safest places on Mt. Moon.

On the way to Mt. Moon cave, Alex and his Pokémon met many Rock-type Pokémon. Most of the Rock-type Pokémon were not very strong, so they could never be a threat to Alex and his Pokémon. He used this time to train Ralts and Shieldon. Shieldon fought the weak Pokémon (10-19 LV), and Ralts fought the relatively stronger Pokémon (20-25 LV).

Sometimes there were strong Rock-type Pokémon that were defeated by Ditto. Ditto, who can transform into Scizor, is not to be underestimated.

Alex looked at the info of all attackers and caught all the Silver Pokémon that attacked him. Although he could only capture 2 Pokémon, it was not a bad deal. He thought about catching the Bronze Pokémon, but after a bit of thought, decided against it. 30 Bronze Pokémon are worth as much as 1 Silver Pokémon. Alex doesn't want to waste his space and time catching Bronze Pokémon. Don't forget that you also have to heal these Pokémon even after you've defeated them.

Although Ralts can heal other Pokémon, she can't do that very often, so he has to use Super Potion to heal those Pokémon. For Alex, who has another way of easily making money, he doesn't want to lose so much time to save a little money.

Alex saw other trainers in the mountain area too. Of course, he ignored these trainers. As long as these trainers don't have any Gold Pokémon to steal, these trainers are worthless to Alex. For Alex, only strong and talented trainers are worth making friends with.

...

After three hours, Alex arrived in front of Mt. Moon cave.

Mt. Moon's Cave has many different tunnels that are roughly divided into two groups. Main tunnel and branch tunnels. The main tunnel is relatively safe and well-illuminated. This tunnel leads directly towards Cerulean City. On the other hand, the branch tunnels are unexplored areas. You have to go on an unknown path that is entirely dark. But these branch tunnels also have a lot of treasure and valuable Pokémon, so there are always trainers who want to try their luck.

Some people find valuable items and come out without a word, and some people go in but never come out.

With countless branch tunnels, it's easy to get lost or run into a powerful Pokémon.

One of the most unfortunate/infamous incidents is when a person went into the branch tunnel of Mt. Moon's Cave and got lost for two months. When he ran out of food, he and his Pokémon had no choice but to eat the Zubat that attacked them. The problem was that Zubat hardly has any meat on its body to feed on. It is said that when they came out of the tunnel, the person looked like a living skeleton. And his Pokémon were on the verge of death like him too.

After this happened, the Alliance began to urge the trainers not to rush into the unknown tunnel, and the steady stream of explorers going into branch tunnels gradually stopped. Of course, there were still some people who can't keep their greed under control. For these people, the Alliance said nothing. After all, can you suppress the freedom of these people?

When Alex and his Pokémon entered the cave, they saw a halfway illuminated tunnel that had many branches that were embedded in the dark.

Alex thought, "These branch tunnels are pretty tempting. All the valuable items and Pokémon you can find are really seductive. Hmm... but is it really worth the risk? I don't think so. I'm not that desperate in my life for some valuable items and Pokémon. The reward for the risk is just not worth it. Although with the help of Crobat, I don't have to worry about getting lost, I may meet a Pokémon that is far too strong for me and my Pokémon. It's pretty dangerous without Ralts's Teleport. And if Ralts is not able to use Teleport at that time somehow, then it would be troublesome. No matter how I see it, it's not worth it."

Crobat led Alex and his Pokémon ahead as they walked down the main tunnel. Along the way, he and his Pokémon were sometimes attacked by weak Zubat, which Ralts defeated swiftly.

After a few minutes, Alex and his Pokémon met an Onix.

Alex said, "Ralts use Will-O-Wisp and then Growl."

Onix was crawling fast like a snake towards Ralts as she charged her move. When Onix was only a few meters from Ralts, he was hit by Ralts's move. Onix suddenly felt that his whole body was hot and that he was slowly and consistently getting weaker.

Onix shouted loudly and used Headbutt against Ralts, who had just used Growl against him.

Alex said, "Protect and then Magical Leaf."

...

Ralts and Onix fought each other for a bit before Onix could no longer withstand Ralts attacks who has tremendous terrible Sp. Def.

Alex went to Ralts, who was bleeding a lot and healed her with Super Potion. He praised her and stroked her head as he healed her injuries. Although Ralts was not gravely injured, it was still the worst injury Ralts had ever suffered. Ralts, who could not use Teleport in the cave due to lack of space, had no choice but to endure some attacks of the Onix.

Ralts felt that Alex was very proud of her and found herself smiling like a little child.

Suddenly she saw her whole body starting to glow.

Ralts began to evolve.

Alex, who saw this, immediately took out the Lugia scale that he had bought from Lisa and gave it to Ralts.

He said with a smile, "Ralts, absorb the psychic power from this scale."

Ralts nodded and began to absorb the psychic power from this scale

After 30 seconds, Ralt's body stopped glowing.

Alex looked at Kirlia's info and said with a smile, "Bullseye!"
