Fang Yuan tentatively called this small secret location the Secret of Grass for the simple reason that it was too green inside.
It was still spring outside, with plants yet to sprout, but the inside of the secret location was like midsummer, a lush green expanse.
After a while, Fang Yuan was fully armed and serious.
"Already, quite a few Pokémon are heading towards the entrance of the secret location..."
After releasing Dragonite, Fang Yuan flew into the sky and began to occupy a commanding height to observe the nearby environment.
Apart from Dragonite, Glutton and the two Gear children were naturally also released by Fang Yuan.
To face the unknown danger that lay ahead, the two Gear children quickly clamped onto the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, and as they enjoyed the special magnetic field from the secret location, they also began to charge the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, and soon, a power on par with the nearby Sun Eevee evolved rapidly.
"Wooah~~~"
Moments later, Dragonite locked onto the figures of two Trainers a kilometer away and alerted Fang Yuan.
"Binoculars."
Fang Yuan spoke, and the next second, Rotom flew in, projecting a clear image of the distant scene.
"These two also have Disaster Star Physique..." Fang Yuan could see the situation clearly through the binocular function of the mobile Rotom.
The two uncles and aunts looked quite pitiful at the moment, being assaulted by two Carnivorous Flowers and a bunch of Man-Eating Flowers...
These Grass type spirits had bloodshot eyes, full of blood vessels, clearly showing symptoms of Exotic Syndrome and not looking like cute Pokémon at all, but rather like Man-Eating Flowers.
In the distance, the two Trainers who had wandered into the secret location were truly engaged in battle, and it was a difficult struggle.
The two Carnivorous Flowers were strong, but not fatally so, they could handle them.
However, considering there were dozens of Man-Eating Flowers looming nearby... the two considered turning into Grass type spirits and spewing fragrance at one point.
Currently, due to the large number of Grass type spirits, the sweet fragrance they emitted turned qualitatively different, becoming so intense it could stupefy Professional level Pokémon across a large gap in strength...
Confronted with these ferocious creatures, the two Trainers had no doubt that after they lost their ability to resist, these spirits would swallow them whole.
And even if they dealt with this batch, who knows if other spirits would appear soon after...
"Sociable spirits are really a scourge..."
As the two Senior Trainers wore grim and serious expressions, filled with gravity, a voice reached them:
"Let's put them to sleep first."
Halfway through the air, Dragonite arrived with Fang Yuan, who saw the unruly mob of Grass types and simply gave an order.
The moment the order was given, the fragrance was blown away by a gust of wind, immediately followed by a crushing gravity that descended like the end of the world.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Boom... Boom...
In an instant, countless spirits fell to the ground.
Then, with a "bang," besides the physical trauma inflicted, their spirits were once again severely damaged by Eevee's indiscriminate Mental Shock.
Under the terrifying influence of Mental Fluctuation, the violent Emotion brought by Exotic Syndrome was almost erased, and the spirits rolled their eyes back and fainted.
They probably wouldn't wake up for a while.
"A rescue?" Seeing dozens of spirits falling simultaneously, the two Senior Trainers in their thirties swallowed hard.
So strong...
Had the Professional Trainers arrived...
As their hearts raced, they and their own Pokémon quickly searched for the reinforcements.
Soon, they looked up and saw Fang Yuan in the sky, perched on Dragonite's back, wearing a red and white battle uniform and a cap.
Next to Dragonite, a very special Exploding Magnet Monster floated, surrounded by a blue magnetic field full of surging currents.
Below them, a mysterious and powerful Pokémon slowly walked out of the grass...
Sun Eevee looked up at Fang Yuan, challenging him to jump...
The next second, from a height of several floors on Dragonite's back, Fang Yuan jumped straight down. Air surged around him, and he was as light as a feather...
After a cool and steady landing, Fang Yuan's expression was unchanged as he slowly spoke:
"What are your positions?" Fang Yuan did not pay attention to the pile of fallen spirits nearby, but walked directly towards the two human Trainers.
"Han Kaiyang, a ranger from Three Lakes City, ID number SH-16."
"Wei Xinmei, also a ranger of Three Lakes City, with the code SH-19."
"A ranger?" Fang Yuan nodded and said, "I am the professional trainer Fang Yuan."
"Now that the entrances to the secret locations across the land have appeared, you two should leave this place first and go outside to assist with the establishment of the blockade."
"Yes!" The two spoke in unison.
...
Just as Fang Yuan found two senior trainers who had mistakenly entered the secret location and was leading them toward the entrance, the trainer forces stationed near White Fish Village also began to move concerning the five secret location entrances that had appeared in the outside world.
Under the command of the association's upper echelons, blockade lines were quickly established around the entrances to the secret locations.
Although exploring miniature secret locations might be more challenging, in reality, the Trainer Association prefers these to the super miniature ones.
Miniature secret locations can be detected by the Trainer Association before their arrival, allowing the Association to react promptly and swiftly set up blockades.
As for super miniature secret locations, they can usually only be detected around six hours after their arrival, by which time it's already too late.
After sending the two away through the secret location's internal passage, Fang Yuan stayed alone inside the secret location, preventing any Secret Realm Sprites from entering Earth through this spot.
For a full forty minutes, he repelled three different batches of Pokemon that tried to pass through the secret location's channel, doing so with ease.
During this time, Fang Yuan didn't see any of the other professional trainers.
Fang Yuan guessed that the situations at the other secret location entrances might be no better than here.
"Mr. Fang Yuan, the blockade line and transport facilities have been established outside..."
Forty minutes later, Fang Yuan received this intelligence from outside.
"Then I'll leave this place to you."
The completion of the two facilities meant that Fang Yuan had a new mission to carry out.
Moving towards the depths of the secret location to explore and eliminate more sources of danger!
The Vice President of Trainer Association of Three Lakes City bowed to thank Fang Yuan, "Then we'll be counting on you. Please be careful."
"No need to be polite." Fang Yuan smiled.
He was already eager to delve deeper into the secret location; the periphery was full of weaklings who couldn't even beat a Gear child—it wasn't very exciting.
Now, Fang Yuan was looking forward to discovering what special resources or powerful Pokemon this grassland secret location held.
...
"This secret location... feels like the Pokemon are all so weak. Isn't there an Overlord Spirit that reaches the master level?"
Riding on Dragonite and flying in the sky, Fang Yuan was confidently jinxing himself, as he usually did. Whenever he said something like this, it was almost a sure thing that a powerful Pokemon would appear. Fang Yuan hoped this would be the case.
Having a powerful Pokemon meant the secret location was rich in resources...
Sun Eevee said nothing... but it didn't matter anyway, letting Fang Yuan do his thing.
It wasn't the same Little Eevee that used to fear Fang Yuan's jinx; now, no matter what powerful Pokemon appeared, it could easily suppress them!
Along the way, Fang Yuan and his team cooperated with Rotom, recording the secret location's environment while moving deeper.
Now, it was confirmed that this was a paradise for Grass type spirits; most of the Pokemon here belonged to the Grass type.
Unfortunately, they didn't encounter even a single Professional level Pokemon, which somewhat dampened Fang Yuan's spirits.
It seemed that it was just a plain miniature Plant system secret location... or perhaps, did the other three professional trainers encounter all the strong Pokemon?
However... before Fang Yuan could feel too regretful, Dragonite suddenly stopped. Ahead, the ground trembled as if in an earthquake, violently splitting open, and from within the forest, a quadrupedal reptilian Pokemon slowly emerged.
This Pokemon had blue-green skin with toad-like bumps on its back, orange-red eyes, and fangs protruding from its mouth.
It had a bud on its back which had now bloomed into a large flower; the flower had six red petals with white spots, supported by a trunk-like brown stem resembling that of a palm tree.
Its claws were separated into three toes, and its legs were thick and muscular, giving a sense of immense power, as if each step could cause an earthquake.
Venusaur!!
Fang Yuan was visibly taken aback at the sight of this Venusaur.
From its life fluctuation, it was clear that it was powerful.
But that wasn't the main point...
The most important part was that a typical Venusaur was only about two meters tall, but this one was unusually large, reaching a height of four to five meters!!
This was a giant Venusaur!!
