Congratulations to Professor Jing He on His New Ride!

"Go, Dugtrio."

Jing He threw a Poké Ball and summoned two Dugtrio.

Red light flashed.

The two Dugtrio, six heads in all, appeared on the fully cooled magma islet Groudon had left behind.

"Dug dug dug~"

The several heads of the two Dugtrio looked at one another, their eyes full of confusion as they surveyed the barren surroundings.

Jing He had temporarily borrowed these two Dugtrio from Steven Stone's family.

Not many Trainers used Pokémon like Diglett and Dugtrio.

It was not that these Pokémon had any particular flaws, but rather that Diglett and Dugtrio often represented the ecology of an entire region.

Jing He vaguely remembered an episode from the original work he had watched as a child. Diglett and Dugtrio had caused an upheaval, blocking the paths of countless Trainers. Many had tried to clear a route with their own Pokémon, only for the Pokémon in their Poké Balls to return on their own without even coming out, unwilling to battle Diglett and Dugtrio.

Of course, being rarely used did not mean they were unused.

Steven Stone's family raised quite a few Diglett and Dugtrio themselves, using them for mineral prospecting, land excavation, and similar work.

After Diglett and Dugtrio loosened the soil, mining operations naturally became much easier.

"I'll be counting on you," Jing He said with a smile.

The six heads of the two Dugtrio exchanged glances again before looking around at the island floating in the vast ocean.

"Dug dug dug!"

The Dugtrio were very "dedicated." Once they understood
