Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

"I will search from the sky riding Pidgeot."

Adaman turned around and climbed onto Pidgeot’s back, with a slightly apologetic tone.

"Unfortunately, Pidgeot doesn’t have enough strength to carry three people at once, otherwise I could take you both to the Crimson Mirelands first."

"Don’t worry, we’re equally fast on Wyrdeer. Its speed is no less than Pidgeot’s."

Ash waved his hand at Adaman.

The remark wasn’t to comfort Adaman.

Though Wyrdeer runs on the ground as a Mount Pokemon, its speed is no less than ordinary Flying Pokémon, and it can even be faster when facing complex terrain.

Furthermore, their real means of travel isn’t Wyrdeer.

Even if Adaman actually invited them to ride Pidgeot, Ash and Cynthia would find a reason to decline.

When you can directly teleport to the depths of Obsidian Fieldlands with the Arceus Phone, who would want to slowly fly there on Pidgeot?

"I’ll go ahead then, let’s meet at the Wetland Base before evening."

Pidgeot let out a loud screech, swiftly flapping its wings and flew toward the direction of the Crimson Mirelands carrying Adaman.

After watching Adaman leave, Ash was about to go directly outside the village, but Cynthia reached out and pulled on his sleeve.

"Ash, let’s go to the Ginkgo Guild to buy some things first."

Their return to Jubilife Village was initially intended to test Ursaluna’s treasure-hunting abilities.

Now that they’re back, they naturally can’t head directly back to Crimson Mirelands without any preparation.

Otherwise, once they find Arezu, they would have to make a trip back just to purchase items.

Ash naturally had no objections, and the two quickly arrived at the Ginkgo Guild’s station in Jubilife Village.

What slightly relaxed the two was that Volo did not appear in the guild.

They had interacted with Volo a few times but have still not been able to determine his purpose in approaching them.

Volo always stayed polite and helpful whenever he appeared.

If it weren’t for Ash sensing a Giratina-like aura from Volo’s Aura in the past, they probably wouldn’t have suspected him at all.

Facing someone who hides all genuine thoughts, it is naturally more relaxing to avoid too much interaction.

The Ginkgo Guild sells quite a few High Energy items, including many rare berries that are hard to find in normal stores.

However, the items truly meeting Xipu’s requirements related to Ground Attribute are only two.

Star Dust and Shuca Berry.

The prices of these two items were not particularly extravagant, and the quantity of Shuca Berries was relatively abundant, so the two bought quite a few at once.

Apart from these items, Cynthia also selected a few tools containing energies of other attributes.

Xipu only mentioned that the effect of the Ground Attribute items is the best, but didn’t say other High Energy items couldn’t be used.

Since they’re testing Ursaluna’s abilities, buying several different items can also help determine what differences arise when it absorbs different energies.

After they finished checking out, the money they saved over a month almost decreased by ninety percent.

Looking at the limited coins left in the money bag, Ash’s expression became somewhat subtle for a moment.

"Did we buy too much?"

"Isn’t it a bit late to start worrying now?"

Cynthia chuckled as she put away the items she bought, "Don’t worry, the remaining money is enough to last us a month, and with the speed we complete our tasks, it’ll be no problem to earn more after spending it."

Ash thought for a while and believed Cynthia made a valid point.

Money can be earned continuously once it’s spent.

However, the true strength of Ursaluna’s treasure-hunting abilities can only be known after a real test.

After storing the purchased items into the Space Backpack, the two quickly left Jubilife Village.

Arriving in a secluded forest, Ash took out the Arceus Phone and opened the teleportation map.

The Earth Plate and Blank Plate have already been absorbed by the Arceus Phone, yet Crimson Mirelands remains in a non-selectable grey state.

"It seems our previous guess might be correct; merely obtaining the Plate protected by the local Mount Pokemon doesn’t directly unlock the whole area."

Cynthia looked at the unchanged map of Crimson Mirelands and quickly made a new judgment.

"Perhaps we need to pacify the local Queen to open teleportation to Crimson Mirelands."

Ash nodded, then tapped Obsidian Fieldlands and chose the teleportation spot closest to Crimson Mirelands.

A blue glow soon enveloped Ash, Cynthia, and Pikachu.

After a brief weightless feeling, the two had already arrived at the deepest part of Obsidian Fieldlands.

Just as Cynthia took out the Celestica Flute and prepared to play the melody to summon Wyrdeer, Ash suddenly reached out to stop her.

"Sis, didn’t Captain Adaman mention earlier that Arezu bought several Mochi before leaving Jubilife Village?"

"Yeah, why?"

Cynthia glanced at the Mochi left in Ash’s hand.

"Since Ursaluna can find energy tools buried underground, it shows that it’s extremely keen on scent and energy residue sensing."

"Though we don’t have any items contaminated with Arezu’s aura, she just left Jubilife Village not long ago and is carrying several Mochi."

"As long as Ursaluna remembers the scent of Mochi, maybe we can follow the scent trails Arezu left behind and find her."

The more Ash thought about this method, the more feasible it seemed, his expression gradually grew excited, although this method doesn’t guarantee a hundred percent success.

There are quite a few people who like Mochi in Jubilife Village, and those traveling between Obsidian Fieldlands and Crimson Mirelands might carry the same food.
