Chapter 580 Person to Person, Less Prejudice

...

Stark Mountain.

North of Sinnoh Region.

Even though it was located as north as Snowpoint City, Snowpoint Mountain, and Snowpoint Shrine that Natsu had visited, the scenery around Mount Stark was very different from Snowpoint City.

The temperature around Stark Mountain is high.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Mount Stark in the north was the hottest place in the entire Sinnoh Region.

Because Mount Stark is a Volcano, and is still a living Volcano, it emits this high temperature all year round, so there is no sign of being covered by ice and snow in the surrounding area.

And.

Mount Stark, like Chimney Mountain in the Hoenn Region, erupts with Volcanic Ash all the time, causing much of the area around Mount Stark to be covered in Volcanic Ash.

But it's also useful

Volcanic ash is rich in various nutrients, which are absorbed into the soil and absorbed by vegetation, which will make the vegetation grow excessively.

In addition, because it is a living volcano, there are few signs of human activity around it, and the natural environment has not been affected too much, so the living conditions for Wild Pokémon are also very good.

So the Wild Pokemon around Stark Mountain are not weak.

The Sinnoh region is a tough place for Trainer.

Besides this.

The land where Mount Stark is located is actually not connected to the main continent of Sinnoh, as it is separated by a moat.

In this smaller piece of land, there was not only Mount Stark, but also a place called the Defensive Area that was divided by the Alliance.

This is a place for several Trainers to train themselves and Pokemon.

Many powerful Trainers would do their training here.

To the south of the Survival Area is the Fight Area built by the Alliance.

There will be various big and small events, and many trainers will come here to fight against each other, while testing their strength level, or preparing for some big events.

The Battlefield was also the only place on this small continent that had Alliance facilities.

Healing Pokémon and buying essentials are all in the Battle Area.

So this relatively small piece of land is called the "Battle Zone".

Of course, there is a place called the Resort Area at the very south of the Battle Zone.

It contains portraits, relics, etc. of some famous people in the history of the Sinnoh Region.

Natsu and Lance enter the Battle Area to do the finishing touches before entering the Mount Stark area.

Even though Natsu felt that this matter might really have nothing to do with Tom Ritchie in the end, he had already been dragged to the "pirate ship" and finally came.

Just do it.

It's a common experience to power up Pokemon.

However.

Natsu also had to admit that people running away did choose places.

Stark Mountain is very lonely, it is not easy to find someone in it.

Also, Wild Pokémon are not weak.

This increases the difficulty even more.

As long as he was given enough time to repair and recover, he might slip up somewhere.

But don't worry too much.

According to Lance's words, the other party's condition should be very bad, and because of the identity problem, he dared not go to the Pokémon center for treatment. He had just bought some potions and rushed into Mount Stark.

Natsu and Lance do a brief retouch.

Also on the way to Stark Mountain.

Appropriate.

Let's go.

If you want to find someone in the forest in a place like Volcanic Ash around Mount Stark, it will be overwhelmed by Volcanic Ash if you use the air line before they can find the target.

So it can only be accessed from land.

Fortunately, the information Lance obtained can give them a clue.

Both of them left the Battle Area in their normal clothes.

Facing the sparse Volcanic Ash, they walked into the area where the Volcanic Ash was radiating.

"Hey, Natsu.." Lance walked in front of Natsu, his brows tightly furrowed.

"What?"

"I have been a little confused since just now, and I don't know if it is an illusion, but I feel that there is a faint wave of Dragon-Type energy around you, although it is not strong, But I feel it." said Lance hesitantly.

His "Dragon Power" was officially awakened during the last tournament, so he has become very sensitive to Dragon-Type energy.

So Lance felt something strange around Natsu.

It's just that Dragonite was also present at the time, and Lance thought it was his own illusion.

But now that Dragonite has been removed, the feeling hasn't gone away.

That's why Lance raised his doubts.

For Natsu, Lance was always outspoken.

But hearing this, Natsu was slightly surprised.

Don't say, he forgot that Lance had awakened "Dragon Power".

He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

Seeing Natsu's embarrassed expression, Lance suddenly said with a smile:

"It's okay, I'm just curious, everyone has their own secret, if you don't want to, you don't have to say it."

Lance gave Natsu a move.

"Actually, it's not a shady secret."

Natsu slowly raised his head, and was somewhat pleased with Lance's understanding.

But as he said.

It's not a shady secret.

After confirming that no one was around, he raised his hand and gently slammed it aside, and a blue and white Pokemon slowly appeared.

"Oss?"

Latios looked at Natsu with a bit of confusion.

Didn't Natsu say that when outsiders are present, he shouldn't be seen?

Lance's eyes narrowed as he looked at Latios.

In fact, Lance, who was the messenger of the dragon, the younger generation of the dragon family, was also absent for a while, showing an expression of uncontrollable surprise.

"Latios?!"

"Osios~~" Latios responded.

Latios had a good impression of Lance, as the "Dragon Power" in Lance's body made him feel very comfortable.

"So that's it." Lance was stunned.

He understood why Natsu only left Latios to hide.

The Joy family, who subdued Latias, was sneak-attacked, he knew too.

While there is no innuendo for an innocent person valuing a jade ring to be a criminal, there are several similar proverbs.

Immediately Lance's expression became a little complicated, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Actually, Natsu, you don't need to tell me."

He felt Natsu's trust for him.

This belief made him very happy and felt pressure.

"Always known." Natsu caressed Latios' neck lightly, then turned to look at him, and said with a laugh, "Are you going to talk?"

Natsu still trusts a man of integrity like Lance.

Latios can't be hidden forever, there will always be a time when he will come out.

Is it possible to really hide up to the Elite level?

There are Champions above Elite.

How long can you hide?

It was best to take the time to let himself grow as well as let Latios grow.

This trip to Stark Mountain isn't necessarily an opportunity for Latios to get some exercise.

Again.

The accident happened to Joy's Joy family because she wasn't strong enough back then, and she didn't realize how attractive her Latias was, so she was attacked.

Now that his strength has gotten stronger, though not that strong, he might as well have the strength of a Gym Leader on par with Natsu.

But no one dared to endure it any longer.

She has the Joy family behind her, Natsu has Agatha behind him, and the entire Sinnoh Alliance.

Even himself, he has a quasi-Elite Pokemon as his hole card.

Worst of all, Dragapult, who grew up watching Latios, would definitely care.

Known by some of his best friends, and they won't reveal it.

So be safe.

Of course.

Some things, like Dragapult, have to be hidden.

And with the Dragapult's power, it couldn't be felt by Lance.

"Of course not!" Lance's eyes were resolute.

Natsu trusted him, and he deserved his trust.

Among people, it is better to be more honest and less prejudiced.

Just a few words on the number of Dragon-Type Pokémon he has.

As he spoke, he scratched his head.

"I'd like to tell you later, but since that's the case, let me show you my newly caught Pokemon."

With that, Lance throws the Poke Ball away.

Immediately a blue Pokemon with the head and head of a tiger, appeared before Natsu's eyes.

"Bagon?"

Natsu was shocked when he saw this Pokemon.

Lance's eyebrows rose, deliberately emphasizing:

"Dragon Type Pokemon."

Natsu silently nodded.

Of course.

It is a Dragon Type Pokemon.

But Salamence is also a Flying-Type Pokémon.
