Land Of Miracle

Yuga couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of fate in this world.

If it weren't for the unfortunate incident on the train, Yuga wouldn't have encountered those Audino trio, let alone receive their protection.

It truly echoed the ancient saying from his past life: "Misfortune leans on fortune, fortune hides within misfortune."

At this moment, Yuga suddenly thought of something. He slapped his own head, feeling like he had the brain of a pig, for only now thinking of such a great idea.

Just because he couldn't find a way here, it didn't mean the natives couldn't either.

Yuga took out the Poké Ball containing Gligar Leader from his system backpack and said to Audino, Swellow and Linoone, "I'll release it in a moment. If it doesn't behave, you all can give it a good beating for me."

The three Pokémon nodded, forming a circle around him. As the Poké Ball opened, a red light flashed, and Gligar Leader appeared within the circle.

Gligar Leader immediately spotted Yuga, its arch-nemesis, and without a word, raised its pincers, ready to attack.

But before it could make a move, Audino pounced on it and gave it a thorough beating.

Interestingly, Gligar Leader remained defiant no matter how Audino pummeled it. In the end, it was only when Yuga promised to help it complete its evolution that it agreed to acknowledge him as its master.

With Gligar Leader now battered and bruised, Yuga asked, "Do you know where the entrance to the outside is?"

Gligar Leader nodded, indicating it knew. Yuga had already guessed it knew; otherwise, its subordinates wouldn't have ventured out for food.

Yuga thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have any Trapinch or Flygon?"

Upon hearing the name "Flygon," Gligar's body trembled involuntarily, and it shook its head with uncertain eyes.

Seeing this reaction, Yuga knew it was lying. He squinted and said, "Are you afraid of them?"

Upon hearing this, Gligar Leader reacted as if its feet were burning, shouting and hopping in agitation.

Yuga looked at Gligar Leader with an almost mocking smile and said, "Since you're not scared, then lead us to them."

At the mention of finding Flygon, Gligar Leader deflated again.

Yuga grinned and said, "What are you afraid of? With us here, what trouble could you get into?"

Upon hearing this, a gleam appeared in Gligar Leader's eyes. That's right, what was it afraid of? It would be even better if this person could catch the group of Flygon as well. Everyone would benefit.

Thus, Gligar Leader nodded in agreement.

Although Yuga didn't understand Gligar Leader's thoughts, he was content with its agreement and didn't think much of it. He decided to rest for the night and set off with Gligar Leader's guidance the next day.

After several hours of rest, Yuga checked the time and figured it should be the next day. With Gligar Leader leading the way, they bypassed numerous twists and turns and finally stopped at the entrance of a cave.

Yuga looked at the luminous entrance of the cave and asked Gligar Leader, "The Flygon are here?"

Gligar Leader nodded.

With Gligar Leader's confirmation, Yuga was about to step inside, but Gligar suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What's wrong?"

Yuga turned to Gligar Leader.

Gligar Leader gestured for silence and then stealthily entered the cave.

Although Yuga didn't grasp Gligar Leader's intention, he thought it wise to follow suit. He instructed Audino to imitate Gligar Leader's actions and enter the cave cautiously.

After sneakily entering the cave, Yuga and his companions were utterly amazed by the scene before them.

This place was truly a land of miracles, an underground world.

What lay before Yuga and Audino was a vast expanse, brightly lit as if it were daytime. Everywhere was lush with trees, heavy with abundant fruits.

One after another, the figures of Flygon and Vibrava streaked through the air, leaving behind emerald trails. Occasionally, one or two of them landed on trees to feast on the fruits.

At this moment, Yuga understood why Gligar Leader had urged them to be discreet. If these Vibrava and Flygon caught sight of them, they would likely be swarmed and attacked.

Yuga quickly retrieved a few green blankets from his system backpack and draped them over himself and Audino. Then, he promptly hid within the dense undergrowth.

Yuga and Audino were the most conspicuous due to their size. That's why Yuga had the idea to blend in by giving them a protective layer of camouflage.

As for Swellow and Linoone, they were less likely to draw attention. Yuga noticed that occasionally even Taillows and Zigzagoons passed through the forest.

Gligar Leader, on the other hand, Yuga held in his arms directly, as they had run out of green blankets. Its pink body was too likely to attract the notice of the Flygon and Vibrava above.

The entrance they had entered was high up on the wall of this space, affording Yuga and his companions a vantage point from the trees to easily view the entire landscape.

This space was expansive, nearly half the size of Verdanturf Town. Trees covered the area, with Flygon and Vibrava being the most visible type of Pokémon. While other types of Pokémon could also be seen, their numbers were quite sparse.

At this moment, Gligar Leader struggled to free its head from Yuga's embrace. Then, it pointed at the center of the space, making unintelligible noises.

Yuga attempted to guess its intent and asked, "Are you suggesting we go there?"

Seeing Yuga grasp its meaning, Gligar Leader vigorously nodded its head.

Yuga inquired further, "What are we going to do there? Is there treasure?"

After a moment of hesitation, Gligar Leader nodded again.

Upon hearing about treasure, Yuga was not about to give up on the opportunity. Since it was right in front of them, it would be a waste to abandon it.

After some discussion, Yuga and the others fetched a long rope from their backpack space. They stealthily descended from the cave's entrance down to the bottom of the space. Then, utilizing the cover of the forest, they stealthily moved towards the central area of the space.

Perhaps because this place had been peaceful for too long, the various Pokémon they encountered along the way showed no response to the disturbance Yuga and his companions caused. As a result, Yuga and the others managed to reach the center of the space without any incident.
