Kapitel 98: Chapter 98: Passing the Valley of Steel
---
"What a pity, Jirachi!"
After sending Jirachi back to its sleeping place and watching it turn into a sleeping cocoon, Gary, Ash, and the others left the Forina region together.
Among them, Ash and May went to Petalburg City, where they were going to challenge the Petalburg Gym. Diane, who had lost her childhood sweetheart, returned to her hometown with a broken heart.
Gary and the others, who had obtained the Heat Badge from the Lavaridge Gym, said goodbye to Ash and the others and embarked on their journey again. This time, the goal was Dewford Town, which they had visited before.
Although Gary and Rosa had already obtained the badge from the Dewford Gym, Hilda, who came to the Hoenn region later, had not yet obtained it. This was also the reason why they went to Dewford Town together.
However, even after leaving the Forina region, Rosa felt a little sorry for Jirachi's experience. After all, Jirachi only wakes up once every thousand years and can only live for seven days at a time.
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the development of the Forina region cannot be separated from Jirachi."
Gary was also very sorry. After all, sleeping for a thousand years and only waking up for seven days was really unfair to the Pokémon.
But there was nothing we could do about it. After all, this was also Jirachi's duty.
Jirachi would open the Eye of Truth within seven days to absorb the energy of the Millennium Comet, and then it would fall into deep slumber again, channeling the energy extracted from the comet into the mountains and rivers of Forina. With this energy, Forina became a rich and beautiful region.
"That's true!"
After hearing this, Hilda shook her head helplessly.
"Okay, let's not talk about Jirachi."
The more they talked about Jirachi, the more Gary, Rosa, and Hilda would feel a little lost, so they simply didn't mention it.
"Let's hurry up, after all, Dewford Town is still a long way away."
Gary looked at the time and mentioned it to Rosa and Hilda beside him.
"Okay!"
After Rosa and Hilda agreed, Gary and the others quickened their pace and headed towards Dewford Town.
...Dividing line...
"Gary, why did you take a detour to come to this place?"
Rosa looked at the area in front of her, which was full of uneven small peaks and there was no beautiful scenery, so she asked Gary with curiosity.
"This area is famous for the Valley of Steel."
Faced with Rosa's question, Gary immediately answered.
"Valley of Steel?"
Because the travel route in the Hoenn region has always been planned by Gary, it is the first time for Rosa and Hilda to hear this place name.
"Yes, because there are a lot of Steel-type Pokémon living in this valley, it is also called the Valley of Steel."
Gary began to explain to the two women under the questioning eyes of Rosa and Hilda.
"Then there are Beldum here."
Since this is the area where Steel-type Pokémon live, Rosa fantasizes that there may be the pseudo-legendary Beldum here.
"You think too much."
For Rosa's daydreaming, Gary rolled his eyes at her: "If there really was a Beldum here, it would have been captured by someone long ago, and there would be no waiting for you."
"Haha, that's true."
After Gary said this, Rosa also felt that she was a little whimsical.
"Then what Steel-type Pokémon live here?"
And after Gary's introduction, Hilda actually showed a little interest in this place.
"For example, the common Magneton and Magnemite, as well as Skarmory, etc."
Since Hilda had already asked, Gary started to tell her based on what he knew: "In addition, I also checked online that there seems to be a very powerful Steelix here. Many trainers came here to capture it, but they all returned empty-handed."
"Steelix?"
Hearing this, Hilda's eyes also lit up slightly.
"Why, Hilda, do you also want to capture this Steelix?"
Rosa noticed the change in Hilda's eyes, so she asked one after another.
"I have this idea."
Hilda nodded first, then looked at Gary and Rosa and asked, "Are you also interested in this Steelix?"
"I already have Lairon, and I don't plan to capture this Steelix."
"Me too, I just plan to come and take a look, and I will capture it if I meet the right one."
In response to Hilda's inquiry, Gary and Rosa both said that they would not capture this Steelix.
"Then if it's right, I won't be polite."
After all, they have been partners for so long, so Hilda won't be polite.
"No problem."
Just when Gary, Rosa, and Hilda had just entered the Valley of Steel, not long after, there was a sudden sound of birds singing, accompanied by a "sizzling" sound, interrupting their pace.
"What's going on?"
Rosa asked, while looking up at the source of the sound.
"Those are... Magnemite and Magneton!"
Looking up, Rosa soon saw Magnemite and Magneton floating above the valley.
"There's also a Skarmory!"
Hilda also noticed that among these Magnemites and Magneton, there was also a Skarmory.
"It looks like there are a lot of Steel-type Pokémon living here!"
After seeing these Pokémon, Rosa also sighed, saying that it was indeed the Valley of Steel, and it lived up to its name!
"But now is not the time to talk about this, these Pokémon seem to be ready to attack us!"
While Rosa was still sighing, Gary had already discovered the desire of these Pokémon to attack, especially the electric current jumping on these Magnemites and Magnetons, and immediately realized that something was wrong.
So Gary took advantage of Rosa and Hilda's inattention, immediately hugged their waists, and then stepped back suddenly to avoid the electric shock attacks of these Pokémon.
It was because of Gary's hug that Hilda's pretty face suddenly flushed, like a red apple.
On the contrary, Rosa, who was more nervous, did not notice Hilda's abnormality.
Looking at the electric shock attack that suddenly appeared in front of her, Rosa didn't know what happened, so she immediately became angry.
"These guys actually want to attack us, let me show them some color!"
After saying that, Rosa immediately released her main force Serperior, and directly sent a Leaf Storm, and even the Skarmory that did not attack, sent them back to their hometown.
"Hmph, let you mess with me!"
After watching the small Magneton, the Magneton, and the Skarmory falling from the sky, Rosa calmed down.
Just when Rosa defeated these Pokémon and thought that the matter was completely over, a shaking of the ground attracted everyone's attention.
