"By the way,"
Lin Mo lightly brushed his fingers over the cool metal shell of the Shiny Beldum in his arms, suddenly remembering something before adding,
"I've heard that mirages in that desert occasionally become real, forming the legendary Mirage Tower. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to see it for myself this time."
At the mention of "Mirage Tower," Steven's gaze suddenly shifted.
He raised a hand to rub his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking. "Mirage Tower... that's something you can only encounter by chance.
Devon Corporation's exploration teams have searched for it more than ten times, but the tower appears and vanishes as if it has a mind of its own. Even the most sophisticated instruments can't track it. You can only stumble across it by luck."
He looked at Lin Mo, his tone growing more solemn without him realizing it.
"The desert is far more complex than what you've read in the files. There are not only sudden, powerful Sandstorms, but also quicksand pits hidden beneath the dunes. You may even run into powerful Pokémon dwelling deep within.
I suggest you train Tyrantrum only around the edge of the desert. There's no need to take the risk of going deeper.
If you truly can't resist your curiosity, make sure you bring all your supplies, medicine, communicators, and locators. You cannot afford to let your guard down in the slightest."
"Don't worry, Mr. Steven. I never planned on venturing deep into the desert." Lin Mo hurriedly nodded in reply.
"This trip is mainly for training my Pokémon properly in the relatively safe outskirts. I'll only consider exploring deeper once my strength has improved further.
I know my limits. I won't do anything too dangerous."
Steven nodded, clear satisfaction showing in his eyes.
"That's good.
