According to the data, Golem weighed roughly three hundred kilograms. Combined with the Steel-type move Heavy Slam, that was what gave it such tremendous power.

As Dian formed the thought, a line of tiny text appeared before his eyes.

"Heavy Slam: Slams into the target with a heavy body. The heavier the user, the greater the power."

If he remembered correctly, this should have been the only Steel-type move Golem could learn on its own.

After Dian saw that the cave entrance had been blasted open, he tossed the Heal Ball in his hand over without hesitation, then took several steps back to show that he meant no harm.

Golem glanced at the Heal Ball that had rolled onto the ground, then gently bit down on it with its snake-like mouth. Immediately afterward, it slowly walked step by step toward the outside of the cave.

Heavy rain poured down, quickly drenching Golem from head to toe.

A stream had gathered on the hillside, flowing toward the low ground.

It frowned, and its entire body lit up with a red glow.

With a single boom, a violent explosion rang out. Golem used that astonishing energy to launch itself into the air from the hillside, quickly disappearing into the distance.

Only then did Dian let out a sigh of relief. He slowly held his clothes open and carefully walked outside, looking around.

The scattered rocks and cracks on the ground were horrifying to behold. This should have only been Self-Destruct, not yet Explosion.

But judging from the devastation alone, if Golem had truly used Explosion in the cave just now, then...

Dian shook his head and made up his mind. From now on, he would stay far away from such terrorists. Oh, and there was also Voltorb with its sensitive Fear—it was another big shot who liked blowing things up at the drop of a hat.

He could not afford to provoke either of them.

He really could not understand what people who caught these Pokémon were thinking. Carrying a ticking time bomb around with them all the time required nerves of steel. Or perhaps every one of them worked for a demolition company.

Dian made fun of himself for a while, easing the tension in his heart.

At that moment, Liyin, who did not know much about Pokémon, slowly walked out from the side as well. "Brr, it's so cold!"

She immediately hugged herself and retreated back inside.

The sky was pitch-black, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night. Judging by the time, however, it should still have been daytime.

BOOM!

Lightning danced across the sky like dragons and snakes, its dazzling White Light shaking Heaven and Earth.

Rainwater crashed violently from the sky onto the ground, punching one small pit after another into the mud.

Dian immediately retreated back into the cave.

As for Liyin, she had already run back to her warm little nest and begun staring at Misdreavus, who was yawning.

Misdreavus rolled its eyes and giggled.

A shadow slowly circled around from the side, then gently tapped Liyin on the neck.

"Who is it!"

Liyin reacted dramatically. She shouted at once and jumped up, looking behind her, but naturally found nothing.

"Pidgey?"

The Pidgey raised their heads and looked at her in confusion. After finding nothing unusual, they quietly lay back down.

Sentret did not even lift its head. It was comfortably lying on its enormous tail.

Carrying its own pillow was so convenient.

It was extremely satisfied with its large tail. It could use it to fight, sleep, and keep warm. How wonderful.

Compared with the short-haired Rattata beside it, the hairless humans, and the Pidgey covered in feathers that did not keep them warm at all, hmph—Sentret was still the one living the most comfortable life.

Drip, drip, drip.

Dian had already wrung out the clothes in his hands with all his strength, but there was still a great deal of water left.

It would have been wonderful if he had a Fire-type Pokémon right now.

Dian thought enviously.

Although he appeared to be quite comfortable standing at the cave entrance, the cold wind was biting, making it feel as if winter had arrived.

Sudden bouts of terrible weather were normal in the Pokémon World, but after taking Golem's behavior into account, this seemed somewhat abnormal.

Could two Legendary Pokémon have suddenly lost their minds and started fighting?

Dian dismissed the thought almost immediately.

After coming to this world, he had realized that Pokémon were not as innocent and harmless as he had imagined.

His Misdreavus and Beedrill, for example, both had minds of their own. In terms of intelligence, they might not even be inferior to him; they only lacked experience.

If there truly was a Ninetales that had lived for a thousand years, it could probably really be called a fox demon.

And if even the Legendary Pokémon, which had lived for who knew how long, had no reason to fight among themselves, then why would they suddenly start now?

Suddenly, a patch of daylight lit up in the distance. Accompanied by a rumble, it struck the ground.

BOOM!

Violent flames instantly shot into the sky.

Dian could even feel a wave of Heat Wave surging toward his face.

This is bad...

Dian's expression changed. He immediately knew that he could no longer stay here.

Although it was raining, and even sparks caused by lightning should not have been enough to start a fire, still...

Just as Dian hesitated slightly, dense cracks appeared across the sky. White Light flickered within them before crashing down all at once.

A gale howled past.
