“Buyi”.
After walking for a while, Ibu suddenly stopped. Xiao Mao immediately shone his flashlight forward. The end was just a few meters ahead, but soon the sound of rushing footsteps came. In no time, two figures appeared in front of Xiao Mao.
Shigeru was startled when he saw two figures; besides Higanbana, the other was Daigo.
How did they end up together?
When Xijiana saw Xiaoshi, she excitedly exclaimed, "Xiaoshi, look what I found!"
Xijiana was holding a rock that was bigger than a washbasin, but because of the distance, Xiaomao couldn't see anything special about it.
"Oh, Shigeru!!" Daigo was also quite surprised. He had heard from Higanbana that he came with a friend, but he didn't expect that friend to be Shigeru.
Shigeru walked over quickly and asked, "Higanbana, what are you doing with Mr. Daigo?"
"I was traveling alone in the cave, and I found this on the way. It's not important. Look what this is!" Higana showed off the stone in her hand, completely unaware of the kind of person she had just been with.
Shigeru looked at the stone in Higana's hand; it had very obvious skeletal-like stones on it, clearly a fossil.
"Fossils! You dug them up?" Xiao Mao asked in surprise.
Finding fossils in the wild is incredibly lucky for Higana.
“Yes, it was Mr. Daigo who helped dig it out. Mr. Daigo also said that his family can help revive the fossils,” Higana said.
Xiao Mao was surprised that the two of them would meet under such circumstances and even find fossils together.
"Daigo, did Shiga cause you any trouble?" Shigeru asked.
Higanbana's clone is special. Although Daigo is a former champion, he is also a league champion. It's unknown how Higanbana and Daigo talked. Hopefully, they didn't reveal too much.
“No.” Daigo shook his head and said, “Shigana has a strong sense of execution, and she must have done digging quite often before.”
"Hehe, more or less." Higana was a little embarrassed by the compliment.
Living in the Meteor Cave, Higana has spent most of her life underground, so it's no wonder she's not very mobile.
"Mr. Daigo, are you here to dig for fossils too?" Shigeru asked.
“Yes, I have a hobby of collecting stones. I also came here yesterday, and I didn’t expect to run into you, Shigeru,” Daigo said.
"More!"
"More!"
"More!"
Just as Daigo finished speaking, several Cocodora emerged from underground and began to complain to him.
Shigeru looked at these Acodoros and realized they were very similar to the Acodoros he had encountered before. Their levels and potential were the same (bbcj). They were complaining to Daigo.
"Dora!!"
Soon, a sharp-eyed Cocodora spotted Gary and was startled. The other Cocodora also spotted Gary and hid behind Daigo.
Daigo was also a little confused. He had a good relationship with the Cocodora here, and seeing how afraid Cocodora was of Gary, it was clear that something had happened between them.
"Shigeru, what's going on between you and Cocoa?" Daigo asked.
"It's nothing really." Shigeru told Daigo about his idea of raising Aggron and recounted his experiences with the Aggrons.
"Oh, I see. It was just a misunderstanding." Daigo thought it was nothing serious after hearing this.
The Stone Cave is not a protected area, and trainers are allowed to capture the Pokémon inside. Moreover, Ash was able to capture Acorn thanks to Acorn complaining, otherwise Acorn would not have been captured by Ash.
After understanding what had happened, Daigo lectured the Acorns, saying, "You were the ones who caused the Acorns to be captured, and I won't help you this time."
"Dora...!"
The Cocodoras were also very disappointed, not expecting that Daigo wouldn't help them this time.
"Don't be sad, Gary is a great trainer. With him, Acolyte will have a bright future," Steven comforted them, taking out a few pieces of stainless steel from his backpack and handing them to the Acolyte.
When the CocoDoras saw the stainless steel that Daigo took out, their eyes lit up instantly, and they immediately surrounded it, hugging the stainless steel and starting to chew on it.
"This is edible...!" Higana looked at the Cocodoras gnawing on stainless steel and felt sorry for their teeth. What's worse, they looked like they were enjoying it, making it seem like stainless steel was some kind of delicacy.
“That’s how Cocodora are; they’re born to eat steel. The higher the quality of the high-speed rail, the more they like it,” Daigo said.
Shigeru naturally knew this, and thinking about his upcoming journey, he wondered if he would need to buy some steel for Kodora to eat.
After all, the steel armor on Aggron's body is made of the steel that Aggron eats. So if you want Aggron to have a steel armor that can withstand any attack, you need to feed it a lot of steel, and the quality of the steel must also be high enough.
It can be said that Aggron is the standard Pokémon for the wealthy; the better the quality of the Steel Pokémon it is fed, the stronger its Steel Armor defense will be.
The Cocodoras completely forgot that Cocodora had been captured by Gary, and were completely immersed in the joy of eating iron.
Xiao Mao strongly suspects that these few Cocodoras deliberately lured the Cocodoras to him so that once the Cocodoras were captured, there would be one less competitor for the iron ore.
Throughout the entire Stone Cave, the only Pokémon that eats steel is Cocoyar. Onix and Geodude only eat dirt and rock, so there is no competition between them.
339: The Fossil of Higana
Shigeru and Higanbana didn't stay long in the Stone Cave. After calming down the sulking Cocodora, they left the Stone Cave.
"Shiganna, you didn't say anything to Daigo, did you?" Gary asked as they exited the Stone Cave.
"No, I just told him I'm from Kanaz City, and he said he's from the same hometown. Then, when he found out I came to the Stone Cave to look for rare stones, he helped me search, and we even found a fossil." Higana held the fossil high, looking very happy.
“Didn’t you say you were planning to breed Dragon-type Pokémon? If this fossil of yours is revived, it’s most likely an Ancient Feather Bug,” said Gary.
"What kind of Pokémon is the Ancient Feathered Bug?" Higana quickly put down the fossil in her hand, took out her Pokédex, and asked.
Pokédex entry: "Ancient Flybug, a fossil Pokémon, also known as Ancient Shrimp, lives in warm oceans and is said to use its two well-developed horns to catch prey..."
“The Ancient Feathered Bug is a Rock/Bug type Pokémon, which has absolutely nothing to do with Dragon,” said Gary.
As for how Xiao Mao knew, he naturally figured it out. The fossil had a spine, but the fossil of the tentacle lily didn't look like that, so it could only be an ancient feathered insect.
“Ancient feathered insect is an ancient feathered insect. This is the first fossil I’ve ever dug up. I’ll accept it,” said Higana.
"Alright, let's go back to Rustboro City after we finish challenging the Martial Arts Gym," said Gary.
"Okay, then go challenge the gym this afternoon," Higanbana urged, her mind now completely occupied with reviving the fossil in her hand.
"No rush, we can try again tomorrow morning. By the way, when you get to Devon Corporation, be sure not to say anything carelessly," Xiao Mao reminded him.
"Why? I think Daigo is quite nice." Higana still had a good impression of Daigo and didn't think he was a bad person.
“Daiwu is good, but the key is that Devon Corporation is currently researching Mega Evolution, and the origin of Mega Evolution is Meteor Village. Once it is exposed, Devon Corporation will definitely target Meteor Falls,” said Shigeru.
"What will Daigo do to Meteor Village?" Higana asked suspiciously.
"Steven probably won't do anything, but it's unclear about the Hoenn League. Steven is no longer the Hoenn League Champion, and the league's higher-ups might have their own considerations regarding Mega Evolution."
"If the Hoenn League finds out about the origin of Mega Evolution, Meteor Village, they will most likely try to obtain the meteorites from Meteor Village, which will inevitably lead to conflict. With the strength of your Meteor Village, you are simply no match for the Hoenn League."
Gary wasn't joking. The leagues in different regions are different, especially the Trainer Association in the Hoenn region, which had taken action against Rayquaza. So Gary didn't dare to gamble. If he gambled wrong, the villagers of Meteor Village would be the ones who suffered.
"The outside world is so complicated. Didn't you say the League was there to protect humans and elves? Why are you making it sound like the bad guys now?" Higana asked, puzzled.
"Anyway, just listen to me, you can't go wrong. If you have any complaints, after you finish the trial and I send you back, you can decide for yourself whether or not to expose the existence of Meteor Village to the Hoenn League," said Shigeru.
If it weren't for the favors he received, Shigeru wouldn't have wanted to get involved in the affairs of Meteor Village, since there are quite a few organizations researching super evolution at this stage.
Besides Devon Corporation, Team Flare is also researching Mega Evolution. Team Flare's target is the Rainbow Meteorite. They want to make sure that the Rainbow Meteorite exists in Meteor Village, so that the team will come and try to take away the meteorite from Meteor Village.
"Okay, I won't say anything," Higana replied with a pout.
Having been away for so long, everything Xijiana has encountered has been wonderful; she hasn't experienced any of the dangers of the world and is still a complete novice.
At this moment, Shigeru really wanted Team Magma and Team Aqua to do something bad, so that Higanbana could see what the wickedness of the human heart was like.
...!
Back in Wudou Town.
After handing Kodora over to Joey, Shigeru went to eat with Higanbana.
After Kodora finished her treatment, Xiao Mao released her and began to train her.
In the past, Xiao Shi would have had to use a lot of persuasion and tricks to ease the tension between him and the Pokémon.
But now, Gary has more than twenty skills in his inventory, and any Pokémon that comes into contact with him will see their affinity level increase rapidly.
Even though Adorata's affinity with Gary was only 76, after being touched by Gary, Adorata's opinion of Gary changed dramatically.

After being taught eight skills, Kodora immediately became well-behaved in front of Shigeru.
"Here, have some."
Xiao Mao also bought a few pieces of stainless steel from a scrap yard he passed by for Kedora to eat.
0.....0
Keduo doesn't refuse anything offered; it just throws it into its mouth and swallows it whole. After all, steel is quite hard, and chewing it won't work.
When a dog eats, it uses its claws to tear the iron into appropriately sized pieces and swallows them directly into its stomach. The digestion time depends on the quality of the iron it ingests.
The higher the quality of the steel, the longer it takes to digest. The steel that Xiao Mao bought can be digested in just one more day.
After resolving the issue with Acorn, Gary used a bronze crown to raise Acorn's potential to Elite Four level. Then, he released the other Pokémon to begin today's training.
