She raised her head.
Dragon Valley was still several kilometers away.
There was no other way.
Himeko could only rely on herself now.
Half an hour later.
Himeko had already arrived within the territory of Dragon Valley.
This was not her first time coming here.
However, this time.
The feeling of walking into this place.
Was very different from before.
When she first came here previously.
The moment she entered the valley.
She could clearly sense.
The auras of the powerful Dragon-type Pokémon that inhabited this place.
But today.
Himeko carefully sensed her surroundings.
And did not detect them at all.
To confirm whether her perception was correct.
Himeko specifically called out Gardevoir.
After Gardevoir carefully sensed the area.
She told Himeko.
That with her ability.
She could still sense the auras of those powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.
However.
This time was different from the last.
Right now, they had actually taken the initiative to hide their own auras.
So that was what had happened?
Himeko was somewhat surprised.
One had to know.
Dragon-type Pokémon.
Were favored by the heavens.
They possessed an innate pride.
For them to voluntarily hide their own auras.
Was something very difficult to make happen.
And yet this situation had appeared today.
There was only one possible answer.
Those fellows.
Had been thoroughly beaten down.
Only then were they forced to restrain their sharp edges.
And obediently hunker down here.
Then the question was.
Who was the one who had beaten them down so thoroughly?
There was no need to think to know the answer.
Who else could it be besides Shiko?
In conclusion.
Himeko knew.
This trip of hers probably would not be wasted.
There was a high probability.
That Shiko was still inside this valley.
Although.
The Alliance.
Had always arranged for people.
To closely monitor Shiko's movements.
According to the reports.
After he entered the valley.
He really had never appeared again.
In theory, he should still be here.
But the problem was, this being was the current Creator God.
His power was beyond description.
Who knew whether he had the ability to leave this place without anyone noticing?
But now.
That guy was definitely still here.
After thinking this.
Himeko no longer hurried to look for Shiko.
Instead, she began wandering around this place with great interest.
Although this was not her first time coming here.
She had never seriously explored it before.
The environment here was very nice.
Extremely beautiful and peaceful.
No wonder.
So many Dragon-type Pokémon had chosen this place as their habitat.
However, although this place was Dragon Valley.
In the areas at the foot of the mountains.
There were many ordinary Pokémon.
Such as Rattata, Zigzagoon, Poochyena, and the like.
As for Dragon Pokémon.
She did not see any at all.
Himeko felt that this was normal as well.
Those Dragon Pokémon.
Were probably all inhabiting the large mountains here.
The foot of the mountains.
Naturally became a paradise for ordinary wild Pokémon.
Himeko continued forward.
Walking toward the deeper part of the valley.
After walking inside for about fifteen minutes.
Weak Pokémon like Rattata and Zigzagoon could no longer really be seen.
The ones appearing here instead.
Were relatively powerful Pokémon such as Pinsir, Tauros, Scrafty, and the like.
When Himeko reached this place.
She was even attacked by a Pinsir and a physically sturdy Tauros.
It was probably because she had accidentally entered their territory.
Himeko released Lopunny.
After Lopunny efficiently and unceremoniously taught those two fellows a lesson.
No Pokémon in the nearby area.
Dared to obstruct their advance anymore.
And so.
Himeko continued advancing even deeper.
Farther inside.
There was a dense forest.
It was so dense that even entering it made the surroundings feel somewhat dim.
The sunlight could only fall through in mottled patches.
Logically speaking.
Such a large wild forest area.
Should have been inhabited by quite a few wild Pokémon.
Himeko had also prepared for that.
She released Lopunny.
And had her guard the area around her.
Ready at any moment to deal with any danger that might appear.
With Lopunny's current strength.
Let alone the wild Pokémon inhabiting this forest.
Even the overlords of these mountains.
Those Elite Four-level Dragon-type Pokémon.
Lopunny could easily deal with them.
However, what exceeded Himeko's expectations was.
After she continued walking forward for about two or three hundred meters.
She actually did not encounter a single Pokémon.
