Chapter 222 Parast and the Mushroom Forest
Red and blue city.
With the arrival of autumn, the leaves of the originally lush trees began to fall, scattered to the ground.
There were only a few cleaners in the city who were diligently sweeping the fallen leaves near the streets. Apart from that, the entire street was sparsely populated.
Wow!
The sound of flapping wings was heard, and with a gust of wind, the dust and fallen leaves around were swept away, and Lin Chuan landed steadily on the ground.
Kalia turned over and jumped down. She was wearing a tight sportswear, a ponytail, and black protective gloves, and looked around.
"It's really deserted." Kalia muttered to herself. At a glance, there were no people on the streets. It seemed that the economy of Honglan City relied on the fishery on the seaside.
Originally, Red and Blue City had a tourism industry, but unfortunately there seemed to be too many poisonous Pokémon in the mushroom forest. Although there were very rare and ornamental red mushrooms, it gradually declined because it was unable to get rid of these poisonous Pokémon.
Lin Chuan looked around and decided that he didn't need to go back to the Poké Ball. There were no people around anyway, so it would be nice to come out and get some fresh air occasionally.
The air in Honglan City is very fresh. The azure blue sky looks clean and comfortable, and occasionally you can smell a fragrance coming from afar.
"Charizard, let's go find our employer." Kalia said, and walked towards the city center according to the address given in the information.
The employer's information is very detailed. He is a middle-aged man who likes adventure. He was not originally a citizen of Red and Blue City, but he has been living in Red and Blue City for some time. Later, he discovered an ancient ruins, but he could not enter it alone, so he issued a task, hoping that a powerful trainer would accompany him to enter the ruins for adventure.
Kalia quickly arrived at the destination according to the address, and then saw a tall uncle standing at the door, obviously waiting for Kalia.
"Hello, I'm Kalia, and you must be Uncle Bobby, right?" Kalia walked up and asked politely.
Poppy looked at the little girl in front of him and frowned slightly, but when he saw the tall fire-breathing dragon next to Kalia, his brows relaxed.
"It's me." Poppy nodded. Kalia was too young, and Poppy was worried that Kalia was too young and the Pokémon she possessed was not strong enough, but he was relieved when he saw Charizard.
"I'm glad you're here. We're well prepared. Let's set off soon." Bobby looked at Kaliya carefully and was surprised to find that Kaliya was well equipped.
"Can you tell me about the ruins?" Kalia asked. She didn't want to follow the other party to the dangerous ruins without knowing anything. Only with enough understanding could she ensure her safety.
"I discovered the ruins three days ago. They are deep in the mushroom forest. However, there are many poisonous and insect-type elves there, and they are very hostile to outsiders. When I just discovered the ruins, I was attacked by a large number of elves. I had to give up exploring. The ruins..." Uncle Bobby began to talk about the ruins.
After a while, Kalia understood a little bit. This relic was located deep in the red mushroom forest. There was a very hidden relic there. Uncle Bobby judged from various clues that the relic might be a legendary elf temple from a long time ago.
As for which legendary elf it was, no one knew. Uncle Poppy didn’t see all of them, so he could only escape.
After everything was ready, Kalia set off with Uncle Bobby. Some antidotes and antidotes were ready.
There are many Parasites in the Mushroom Forest. These Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémons often drop spores from their bodies. These spores are scattered in every corner of the Mushroom Forest, and you may be hit by them if you are not careful.
"This is the red mushroom forest."
Although it is called a red mushroom forest, it is actually not entirely filled with red mushrooms. There are also some tall trees, but the red mushrooms make up the majority, and looking down from the sky it looks like a large red area.
"Come on, let's go in. We'll fight with any elves we meet. The elves in the Mushroom Forest are very hostile to outsiders." Uncle Bobby said, releasing his own elf, a ground-type Sandslash.
Sandslash is good at digging holes and can go very deep underground. This makes it the most suitable Pokémon for Poppy, who likes to explore and search for various relics.
Kalia did not release other Pokémon. One Charizard was enough. Too many would be inconvenient. The plants in the mushroom forest were not spaced far apart, and Charizard could just barely pass through. If there were too many Pokémon, it would seem crowded.
"Charizard, take this."
Kaliya spoke up and took out two goggles from her backpack. Poison and Grass-type Pokémons are good at various powder-based moves, and with goggles they can avoid having powder splashed into their eyes.
If the poisonous powder gets into the eyes, the consequences will be very bad. If you are not careful, your eyes may be damaged, so the necessary protective measures must be taken.
Lin Chuan took the black goggles and put them on his head. They looked a bit cool and felt pretty good.
"Pretty handsome." Kalia glanced at Lin Chuan's face wearing black goggles and smiled faintly.
"Be careful, pay attention to the spores on the ground, don't let them get on your body." Uncle Poppy reminded, letting Sandslash walk in front. He observed the surroundings while walking to prevent any elves lurking in the dark from making a sneak attack.
Spores are tiny creatures, like dust, but larger than dust. They are difficult to see with the naked eye and are scattered by Parast in every corner of the forest.
Some spores are poisonous, some are paralyzing, and some can make people and elves sleepy. It is very troublesome if you are contaminated by these spores in the wild.
Afterwards, the two began to move towards the mushroom forest. Not long after entering, they encountered many crab-like Paras.
Paras is the same as Parast, but Paras is dominated by the insect type. It is a larva, and the yellow-spotted red mushroom on its back has not yet grown.
Once the red mushroom grows up and absorbs enough nutrients, it will in turn control the entire body, turning into a mushroom that takes the dominant position, thus evolving into Parasite.
Generally speaking, Paras and Parast are not very aggressive elves, but the elves in this mushroom forest are all somewhat hostile, and at this time some Paras are slowly approaching.
"Charizard, don't use fire-based moves." Kaliya reminded. Using fire-based moves in such a dense forest could easily cause a fire. This mushroom forest belonged to Red and Blue City. If it was accidentally burned, the damage would be huge, and Kaliya would not be able to compensate even if she lost everything.
Lin Chuan nodded, then looked at the attacking Paras, then condensed a sharp air blade and slashed over. The Flying type has four times the restraint on the Grass type and the Insect type. These Paras could not block it at all and were directly cut in half by Lin Chuan's Air Slash.
Lin Chuan was a little speechless. They died so easily. They were too fragile. However, it seemed normal. These wild Pokémon were not of high level. Lin Chuan used his own Air Slash, which had four times restraint, but it was beyond the range that these Pokémon could withstand, and they were directly fatally injured.
Lin Chuan still didn't plan to kill these elves, so he changed his moves to the Dragon Wave, which had only twice the normal damage. Although it could also kill the opponent instantly, it would not cause them to lose their lives. A temporary coma was enough.
