Chapter 17: Cacnea
Most of the Pokemon found here in the canyon are mainly rock-type Pokemon.
Edward is also at ease knowing that most rock-type Pokemons are calm and restrained unless they are provoked.
They should be safe as long as they steer clear of other Pokemon.
Unless they met a highly irritable Pokemon such as Mankey and Primeape, but they mostly live in forests.
The volcano region is bare and dry. They cannot adapt to such an environment.
They walked deeper into the valley until the sun was about to set, and then the two stopped to set up a camp.
"Torchic, sorry to trouble you."
Edward handed Torchic some Pokemon food again.
It used the same method and found another Geodudes to help them build a shelter.
The temperature of the valley can drop very low at night. If they can build a strong shelter, they'll get better rest.
"Ho!"
"Ho!"
The Geodudes carried pieces of irregularly shaped stones on their backs.
The viewers who were watching were surprised. Each of those pieces of stones can weigh up to hundreds of kilograms.
They only know that these beasts are expert diggers, but they didn't expect the beasts to be strong.
[Edward, you haven't named them yet.]
[What a strong beast.]
[Wow, they can complete the work of ten people on the construction site.]
...
"I think calling them Geodude is just fine."
Edward said while scratching his head.
After about five minutes, a stone shelter was completed.
Edward and Rosa entered the shelter together.
"The craftsmanship of these beasts is excellent. And the shelter is quite sturdy too."
Rosa looked around the shelter and said in admiration.
"Indeed, Geodude is very good at controlling rock. The shelter that they build is really solid."
Edward was also very satisfied with it.
"I'll go out to find some dry leaves for the beds."
He said to her.
"Torchic, can you help me lit this on fire?"
Rosa has already picked up some firewood from the side.
Torchic tilted his head and looked at Rosa questioningly.
It took a while for it to understand what she meant.
A small breath of flame came out from Torchic's mouth, and the firewood was ignited in an instant.
"Edward, be careful outside. I'm going to make us some food first."
Rosa said while unpacking the supplies from her bag.
"Yeah."
Edward nodded lightly and left the shelter temporarily.
Torchic followed Edward while Silcoon remained with Rosa.
'It's a bit windy today. The leaves are going to be scattered around further.'
Edward walked around, and it took ten minutes to pick up a small pile.
"Chic."
Seeing that Edward was busy, Torchic also brought some dry grass with its mouth.
"Thank you, Torchic." Edward patted its head.
Pokemon really are human's best friends.
To get enough withered leaves, he went further from the camp.
After picking up enough pile of leaves, he went to the side to relieve himself.
Shasha~
Shasha~
Suddenly, there was some sudden movement can be heard from the bush not far from his place.
Edward looked over, and through aura sense, he found a few Pokemon beside it.
'Cacnea? There are grass-type Pokemon living here?'
The sound is getting closer to Edward.
'Why are they heading towards me?'
Edward felt the situation was a little bit strange. He decided to finish relieving himself and leave this place as soon as possible.
"Fuck!"
Edward jumped to the side, avoiding a flurry of thorns aiming towards him.
Obviously, these Pokemon are not in a good mood and will attack anyone they see.
"Chic!"
Torchic, who was on the side, rushed over to protect Edward.
Bang!
Bang!
He looked at the tree where he was before has been turned into a porcupine.
'Luckily, that attack missed.'
Edward stood up after landing flat on the ground.
"There's four low-level grass-type Pokemon. Just the right kind of opponents for Torchic. Since you all take the initiative to attack, don't blame me!"
Edward suddenly became excited when he thought about it. After conquering some Pokemon, he hadn't had a formal battle yet.
And right now, it's a great opportunity!
