Chapter 29
Back to the Mountains

After Chu Mu found Derrick and told him what he was worried about.

Derrick smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chu Mu! This is how you contact the treasure hunters."

"Every treasure hunter has their own style of doing things. Just like the way you just contacted them, or some other ways, it doesn't really matter."

"What's important is that you need to tell them that you have this thing. As treasure hunters, whether or not they come to your place to see the goods, their professional ethics will require them to reply to your call no later than tomorrow."

Chu Mu shrugged and said to Derrick, "So, I just have to wait for her to call me back, right?"

"That's right!" Derrick reassured him, "It's okay, Chu Mu! This is the first time you're dealing with them, relax! Trust your Pokémon and your products, you've been so careful with them, they won't let you down!"

"Of course! I believe in them!" Chu Mu said with a smile.

"Alright, since we just have to wait for news now, I'm going to head into the mountain now."

"Okay! Remember to capture a Sky-High Mantis with good talent, that will make your work much easier!" Derrick reminded him.

Chu Mu shrugged and said confidently, "Of course! Just watch me!"

Then, Chu Mu turned and walked towards the villa.

Before entering the mountain, Chu Mu needed some preparations.

Firstly, regarding the Pokémon, Chu Mu only planned to bring along Mega Charizard X and Swellow.

Electivire and Togekiss, Chu Mu needed them to guard the ranch.

As for the others, he didn't plan to bring them for now.

After all, Sharpedo and Steelix hadn't grown up yet, they didn't have much use for now.

Secondly, it was about some sprays.

For example, anti-insect bite sprays, sunscreen sprays, etc.

In the primordial forest, there were many kinds of poisonous insects, the last two times because he wasn't prepared, Chu Mu's thighs and arms were bitten by insects.

As for sunscreen spray, it was because the ultraviolet rays in the mountains were still very strong, easily sunburn the exposed skin.

Therefore, even though it was a sunny day, before entering the mountain, Chu Mu had to put on a jacket and long pants.

After everything was ready, Chu Mu walked out of the villa with his backpack.

Chu Mu took out Mega Charizard X's Poké Ball, "Come back, Mega Charizard X!"

The main reason why Chu Mu put Mega Charizard X away was that the target this time was Sky-High Mantis.

Sky-High Mantis has a characteristic called Bug Sense, which means that when a Sky-High Mantis possesses the "Bug Sense" characteristic, if its HP is reduced to below 1/3 of its maximum HP, the power of its Bug-type moves will be increased to 1.5 times.

This is the setting of the game, but in reality, it's not just that.

In reality, a Sky-High Mantis with Bug Sense can sense danger.

That is to say, if Chu Mu kept Mega Charizard X outside, it would be very difficult to encounter a Sky-High Mantis.

This is also why Chu Mu brought Swellow this time.

Although Swellow is also a Dragon-type, Swellow's appearance makes it seem less dangerous to other Pokémon.

In the wild, appearance is also an effective means of protection and deception.

"Let's go, Swellow!"

"Swello!"

Swellow (Leader) waved its feather-like wings and came to Chu Mu's side.

"Hey!"

Chu Mu put his foot down and climbed onto Swellow's back.

Compared to Mega Charizard X's back, Swellow's back was smoother.

Although Mega Charizard X sounded like a "Salamander", in fact, Mega Charizard X had a lot of hard scales on its body.

Of course, Swellow also had them, but they were in some unspeakable places.

Chu Mu patted Swellow's long neck and said, "Let's go, Swellow!"

"Swello!"

"Whoosh!"

Swellow flapped its wings, a huge air current started to vibrate rapidly from under the wings, and then a huge thrust force took Chu Mu towards the sky.

In no time, Chu Mu and Swellow were already at a position more than 100 meters above the ground.

Compared to the somewhat cold back of Mega Charizard X, Swellow's back was actually warmer!

Although Mega Charizard X also has organs like fire sacs, the temperature of the fire sacs only warms the whole body when Mega Charizard X is flying at high speed.

If he carried someone, Chu Mu couldn't stand that kind of high-speed flight without equipment.

Moreover, he had already put on special equipment, and he probably didn't need that little temperature.

Unlike Mega Charizard X, because Swellow has very warm feathers, and they are on both sides of the wings, this gives Chu Mu, who is sitting on Swellow's back, a great warming effect!

That is to say, in this case, Chu Mu could let Swellow speed up a little.

"Swellow, you can go a little faster!"

"Swello!"

"Whoosh!"

Swellow increased the frequency of its wing flapping, and the speed was even faster.

"Oh!"

Feeling the wind at high speed, Chu Mu felt it was a very happy thing.

It was even more enjoyable than blowing the wind in a convertible sports car on the highway!

Because the speed was much faster than riding Mega Charizard X, so it didn't take much time for Chu Mu and Swellow to reach the large lake at the top of the mountain.

"Swellow, land beside the lake!"

"Whoosh!"

Swellow slowly flapped its wings, began to slow down, and slowly landed on the grass beside the lake.

The main reason why Chu Mu chose this big lake as the landing site several times was because it was convenient to land, and the view was wide open.

More importantly, there were many Pokémon living near this lake.

So, if you want to find Pokémon, this is actually a good choice.

Chu Mu looked around at the large lake and the green forest around it.

From time to time, there were Beedrill flying around, and Raticate, Rattata running around.

"Huh? That is..."

When Chu Mu's gaze swept across the surface of the lake, it seemed that there was something on the surface of the lake.

Because the lake surface was sparkling in the sun, it made it very difficult for Chu Mu to see clearly from a distance.

Chu Mu reached into his backpack and fumbled for a while before taking out a pair of binoculars.

Chu Mu quickly looked through the binoculars at the place where he noticed something different.

As the field of vision kept getting closer, Chu Mu began to slowly search on the wide lake surface.

Just when Chu Mu's eyes were getting dizzy, he finally saw something different!

"That's... a shell?"

Although he wasn't sure, Chu Mu thought it was Blastoise's shell.

"So... is that a Blastoise sunbathing on the lake?"
