I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

"Buzz~"

A heavy roar interrupted his thoughts and startled him.

Then he saw it.

The surfaces of all the stone eggs in the field of vision glowed purple, as if there were some creatures inside that were about to break out of their shells.

At the same time, shiny yellow patterns lit up throughout the interior of the palace, giving people the feeling that some kind of seal was about to be opened in a Western fantasy game.

Li Xiang had a look of horror on his face, thinking that he might have triggered the defense mechanism of some ancient ruins, so he hurriedly wanted to exit.

But for some reason, just as he was about to walk out, a vague vibration came from under his feet, and in this vibration, the purple and yellow light on the stone egg and the wall gradually dimmed.

Hibernate?

He stopped and looked in all directions warily, and then looked at the rustling dome just now.

The environment was too dark and the top was blurry, but in his memory, it was a circle of rings inside a circle, each with a different pattern, like an unfinished magic circle.

"These things are all mechanisms, and they are mechanisms that can respond proactively."

He murmured in a low voice. Although he didn't know what happened just now, there was no doubt that this hall was very dangerous. If it was not safe, some strange things would be put out for him.

To be honest, he didn't want to go in.

However, at this time, the Emperor Yan in the elf ball took the initiative to speak.

"Go in and have a look." 』

"Eh……"

"It's okay, the energy reaction inside has stopped. 』

"Oh well."

Li Xiang turned around slowly and found an open space to release Emperor Yan and Vulcan Moth.

The big lion landed on the ground, glanced around, and finally locked on the top dome.

"Fly up and have a look. 』

It took the initiative to suggest that the energy field just now gave it an inexplicable feeling of weirdness, but it couldn't tell what was weird.

The curiosity that gradually emerged made it want to find out.

then.

With the help of the Shield Sword Monster, Li Xiang and a group of Pokémon flew to the ceiling, and began to observe the patterns on the wall through the light released by the Vulcan Moth.

There are naturally no shortage of unknown totems like English letters. They are like the most basic decorative patterns, and they have to pop up on any wall to show off.

But I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the other patterns are a bit like the “totem poles” seen outside, with that strange circuit feeling of déjà vu.

"The ceiling seems to be able to be opened. Do you think it is the way to the upper level? Or it was originally the way to the lower level."

He pointed to the gap on the edge of the circle, and he knew at a glance that it was a gap used for separatist activities.

"..."

Emperor Yan squinted his eyes and did not respond. He cared more about the "patterns" than those. Although this thing had been placed here for unknown years, the energy flow just now was on these patterns.

Where does the energy come from?

It followed the pattern all the way up, and suddenly saw that this thing was broken on the dome.

The pattern on the top is fragmented... No, is it deliberately messed up?

Li Xiang happened to be next to him and said, "Can this thing rotate? Otherwise, I can't understand the pattern at all, although I can't understand anything else."

"You think so too?" 』

"Eh? That's just my guess."

"You guessed it right, this ceiling should be movable. 』

Emperor Yan flew up and pushed the outermost circle, but the latter did not move. "When you came in just now, you triggered the flow of energy here. Perhaps it is its internal defense mechanism. There must be a place to input energy nearby..."

Its eyes scanned the surroundings. To be honest, this kind of ancient mechanism is not uncommon in Zhuxia's ancient ruins, but this one is relatively more complicated.

Since the energy node was broken on the dome, Emperor Yan followed the pattern and looked downward, and finally found the clue.

If it read it correctly, the lines below were broken under those stone eggs.

Sure enough...

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiang watched Yan Emperor fly downwards and was quite puzzled when he saw it circling the base of the stone egg.

"...I see, this is an existence that integrates activation and transmission. The energy touched from above flows back here, activating the stone egg and triggering the lines of this base, thus transporting it further upward. 』

The big lion turned his head and whispered: "If there is an invasion by outsiders, disconnect the transmission part and activate only the stone eggs... These things are probably giant clay dolls, and this may be the place responsible for transporting them. If it is above If someone touches the mechanism, they will be sent up. 』

"Hey - logistics center."

Someone touched the stone egg and asked, "Why is it different from the ones we saw in the factory?"

"Then I'm not very clear,"

Emperor Yan was also puzzled by this, but did not dwell too much on it. He said, "The control center is no longer in this area. The source of energy comes from further down." In this case, there might be a road nearby to get there. 』

This person is finally more reliable, unlike yesterday when he couldn't answer anything he asked.

Maybe it is more proficient in energy flow?

Li Xiang cursed in his heart and followed the Vulcan Moth around to search.

After this search, it was discovered that there were not many giant stone eggs that were thought to be densely packed. There were only about seventeen in total.

At the edge of the wall, he saw a familiar arched door, but it was blocked by a similarly carved stone wall, leaving no room to open it.

Like the pattern on the ceiling, this thing also has circles of irregular patterns, as if it is waiting for someone to put it together.

"Sure enough, there is a passage."

He waved to Emperor Yan in the distance, "Found it! Here!"

"Um. 』

Emperor Yan leaped over and frowned slightly when he saw the arched door and the patterns on it, "Is it sealed?" 』

"Forced demolition?"

Li Xiang whispered, after all, it was demolished by force before. The stone wall must not be as hard as iron, and it would be destroyed in a matter of minutes.

Unexpectedly, the big lion shook his head and said, "It's best not to. The energy path here is integrated with the one above." I can't guarantee what the consequences will be if you destroy this place. 』

"Can't it be dismantled?"

He scratched his scalp and said: "I think it should be fine. Look, there are no traces of energy flow here, just like a light bulb without electricity..."

He closed his mouth before he finished speaking. After all, who dares to be sure that ultra-ancient technology and modern technology are the same?

What precautions should be taken in case someone loses power?

The safest way...

Go back the way you came and start digging from the outside.

Li Xiang glanced at the dragon-headed gopher. According to this guy, there seemed to be an area filled with granite rock formations further down. Whether it is the hardness of the rock or the danger after collapse, the downward speed will be greatly slowed down.

Furthermore, people from super-ancient civilizations should have considered the dangers of intruders digging holes and not being able to protect them.

"What to do?"

He looked at the big lion longingly. In this strange place, with sharper senses and more knowledge, it suddenly became the backbone.

However, Emperor Yan did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked around with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The energy pathways here are connected to all the domes, and the domes are connected to the dome... there it is!" 』

It ran to a giant egg and said to Li Xiang: "Move these things!" Let me trigger the energy pathways here! 』

"Eh? Won't that attract the attention of the people above?"

"Probably not. The energy transmitted from the top to the bottom is one-way, and the only thing that feeds back up is transporting stone eggs. 』

Emperor Yan's eyes were calm, with an expression that said he believed me and would obey my command, "As long as the stone egg is moved away from the energy to stimulate it, there will be no discovery from above, including the reaction initiated below." 』

real or fake--

All right.

Li Xiang chose to believe Emperor Yan. After all, he really didn't know anything about this kind of thing. It would be okay if you asked him to bury the divine beast.

With more people and more strength, he released all the Pokémon that could help and started the big project of moving the eggs.

A 2.8-meter clay giant weighs about 300 kilograms, and a six-meter giant... Even if it triples, it only weighs one ton.

Um.

Not a big deal.

Li Xiang stood on the side and watched a bunch of elves fighting against the stone eggs, especially Lucario and Metagross. These two guys could easily move away just by using [Psychic Power] together. It’s lumpy.

There are seventeen domes in total, which are nothing compared to the vast space. However, due to the curvature of the dome, it is not easy to place these things after they are removed.

After struggling like this for more than half an hour, all seventeen pedestals were finally free.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yan rushed to a corner and pressed one paw on the faint pattern on the ground.

The fire lit up slightly.

Energy was introduced from the node it discovered and spread to every corner of the hall in an instant. The familiar yellow light suddenly illuminated the entire hall!

really.

The yellow light on the seventeen bases is particularly bright, and it seems that the transmission and activation functions have been activated. Then came the large and small rings on the dome. They rotated one after another and started to combine automatically.

Finally, there is the arched door, and the rings above it rustle and begin to assemble automatically.

Li Xiang saw a square dent on the door and thought that this might be the door key that must be used. It's a pity that they didn't open the door properly, but "picked the lock" by some unscrupulous beast.

Talk.

It seems so easy, but actually "picking the lock" shouldn't be very easy.

This is what I am thinking about.

The patterns on the domes and arches are completed.

He squinted his eyes and saw a pattern composed of many giant clay dolls on the dome.

They stood in front of a magnificent castle. On the castle were two magical beings, one black and one white. Above the castle was a huge snowflake pattern.

There is a diamond pattern in the middle of the snowflake pattern, and the inside is blurry.

……what is this?

Li Xiang was stunned in place. If he had to think of it, the snowflake pattern could easily be associated with Kyurem. After all, he had ice attributes.

But since we have already drawn Zekrom and Reshiram, why use snowflakes to represent Kyurem in the abstract?

I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.

However, Kyurem can basically be confirmed if he did not split during the Titan Civilization Period.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the pattern on the stone door——

"What the hell?"

"What's wrong? 』

The exclamation made Emperor Yan think something had happened, and he hurriedly asked questions.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm sorry, I was too excited."

Li Xiang sneered, but he was still a little shocked when he looked at the stone gate, because there was a strange statue with hands protecting his chest engraved on it, and there were many holes in the statue.

——It’s the God Pillar series!

And if the guess is correct, this lattice arrangement should be that of Reggie Ellechi, which is the so-called electric pillar!

Why is there a pattern of Reggie Ellechi here? Could it be that the ancients of the Titan civilization caught it?

Then again, do plural pillars exist in this world?

He was thinking wildly in his mind, and stepped forward to push the stone door open, and waved to Emperor Yan.

The latter released his claws, and the yellow light in the hall suddenly dimmed, "Move the stone eggs back——"

"Wait, activate the two clay giant giants in my elf ball?"

Li Xiang was still thinking about Reggie Ellechi, but when he saw the yellow light disappear, he suddenly recalled the two giant clay dolls in his pocket.

Although it is much shorter than these six-meter-class ones, sometimes being big has its disadvantages.

"……All right. 』

Yandi glanced at him and didn't refuse, "Put the elf ball directly on the base." 』

"okay."

Someone obeyed.

Two minutes.

He picked up the elf ball on the base and clearly felt that it felt a lot warmer.

"No need to look, it has been successful. 』

The big lion said something, and then walked towards the opened stone door, "Hurry up." 』

"okay."

Li wanted to take back the Blazing Roaring Tiger and other elves and followed them silently.

Behind the stone gate is a completely enclosed spiral staircase. You can't see the bottom at a glance, and the darkness is very scary.

"Down here is the main control room...eh?"

Just as he was about to say something, he saw Emperor Yan jumping down from the steps, as if he was planning to take a "shortcut".

He had no choice but to drag the dragon-headed gopher behind him and fly downward for dozens of seconds before reaching the bottom.

As for how deep it was, he wasn't sure.

At the bottom of the spiral steps, there is also a stone door with an irregular picture composed of circles.

Emperor Yan looked around, and finally found an energy circuit in the corner, and pressed his paw on it.

"Lock picking" is your specialty.

Li Xiang was speechless at its habitual criminal behavior and concentrated on looking at the patterns on the stone gate.

really.

It's Reggie Ellechi again. The arrangement of this dot matrix really doesn't look too familiar.

Did the electric pole come to North America and was caught by the locals here...

He didn't think it was strange for Reggie Elleki to come to this continent. Even Emperor Yan could come all the way here. Is there anything strange about an electric pillar?

Furthermore, electric pillars are not limited to regions.

By the way, could the electric pillar be dormant behind this door? After all, there are several types of energy that can be consumed to this day thousands of years later.

Apart from the raw material energy body of the clay giant found yesterday, the only electric energy source that can be used continuously for countless years is the electric pillar, right?

He was inexplicably looking forward to it.

Unfortunately.

When Emperor Yan pushed open the stone door, there was no Reggie Ellechi behind the door, only a tunnel leading to an unknown place.

move on.

But the tunnel was really long, and it was already twenty minutes before we finally reached the end.

They were once again blocked by a stone door.

Emperor Yan silently opened the door, and suddenly, an extremely bright blue-yellow light came out from the gap!

There is also the sound of jumping thunder and lightning!

Li Xiang's mind suddenly cheered up after being tortured by the tunnel, and he couldn't wait to let the leading gopher push the door open.

Excited as he was, he wouldn't risk his life touching a stone where thunder and lightning might spill out.

And behind the door.

Dazzling yellow and blue light caught his eyes——

"What, the tourmaline storage room."

The first thing you see is a large hall with a large amount of blue and yellow ores, so many that it can be said to be piled up like a mountain.

Li Xiang couldn't help but waved his hand boredly.

[Tourmaline], an ore that is full of electricity inside, is not the same thing as thunderstone. The reason for its formation is unknown, but it is one of the energy sources that North America has always relied on.

This thing is a bit similar to the crystal made by the energy system yesterday, but the difference is that this thing will feel tingling just by being close to it.

At the end of the hall, you can see a broken round stone, which looks a bit like a fairy ball.

I'm afraid it's not for storing Reggie Ellechi.

He cursed, then felt a little regretful. Although you may not be able to conquer someone if you meet him, and the other person may not be willing to conquer him, but it is always good to meet him.

God pillar!
