Chapter 353: Entering the Sneasel habitat
This deserted island was vast—large enough to at least build a first-tier city if humans were to conquer it. Terrance’s arrival on this island was like dropping a single ant—insignificant compared to the island’s massive size.
However, what’s different is that this particular “ant” is quite strong, enough to handle the dangers posed by most of the creatures here.
“This island is indeed unique. From the flock of Spearow I encountered earlier to now, I’ve already been attacked four times.”
Terrance and Mismagius advanced cautiously. The Pokémon here were far more aggressive than those on the mainland, at least several times over.
“On the Hoenn mainland, there are more or less traces of human development in the places where Pokémon inhabit. Whether it’s through modification or expulsion of some Pokémon, they have created a relatively peaceful competitive environment locally. But this island remains in its most primal state. It’s a world of the survival of the fittest, where competition is so fierce that it’s hard to imagine. That’s likely why the Pokémon here are so aggressive.”
As he walked, Terrance noticed that the Pokémon here had a very aggressive fighting style. Many attacked at the slightest provocation. However, in order to conserve strength, Terrance didn’t waste time on these meaningless battles. Instead, he chose to have Mismagius use the illusion skill to change the opponent’s target.
If the battle fluctuations were too big, it might attract even more Pokémon.
Terrance had already experienced how dangerous this place is. Compared to this place, Mt. Chimney was practically a garden. If the Terrance of the past had been thrown here, he wouldn’t have lasted more than a few hours.
While the area surrounding Mt. Chimney was still undeveloped wilderness, it’s still near human settlements. Aggressive and powerful Pokémon had long been driven away, leaving only those that an average Trainer could handle. But this uninhabited island was different. D-Level Lost Region—it was an important criteria when the League was first established to judge whether a Gym Trainer had the ability to defend a town.
