Dawn of Pokémon

(Revised on 2018.10.13)

"Boom..."

The heavy stone door slowly opened.

Now that he has reached the core area of ​​the ruins, Xiaotian easily found the correct way to open the door based on the records in relevant ancient books, pressed the button, and the stone door opened.

However, from Xiaoye's perspective, Xiaotian just touched the door.

The so-called knowledge is power.The illiterate Saya, who had zero mastery of this skill in either her previous life or this life, expressed her heartfelt admiration for the "girl" in front of her.

Walking through the stone door, your eyes suddenly opened up.A completely different scene from the dark, authentic style emerges.

This is a valley area surrounded by rocky mountains. The clear lake water wanders at the bottom of the valley, reflecting the reflection of the green mountains and white clouds.On the shore of the lake, sparse vegetation dotted the brown rocky land, and a few insect-type Pokémon could be vaguely seen foraging among the grass.

In the middle of the lake, a tall stone pillar stands in it.There are several ancient stone tablets standing on the platform at the top of the stone pillar, which seem to record some words.The towering rocks are simple and solemn, full of supreme piety for faith - this is exactly the altar built for the Poseidon described by Xiaotian.

At the feet of Xiaoye and Xiaotian, there was a stone staircase leading directly to the stone platform. The texture was very rough, leaving obvious traces of manual work. It was obviously not the product of modern technology.

Looking around, Xiaoye found that the surrounding mountains looked familiar, not far to the south of Zhenxin Town.But no one has ever noticed that there is such a place between the slits of several mountains.

In other words, you can now cross the mountains and return to Zhenxin Town at any time - the crisis has been resolved.

Xiao Ye raised her head and looked at the sky.The sun has begun to move westward, and it is about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Nearly eight hours have passed since entering the ruins in the early morning.No wonder I feel very hungry.

——Although half of the time is spent on random puzzles.

Although their location was clear, the two of them had no plans to leave immediately.Now that you have arrived at this ancient altar building, you might as well take a closer look before leaving.

The silver-haired boy gently touched the stone steps in front of him with his hand.

According to Xiaotian's father, the most dangerous traps may be set up on the first few steps of the stone steps. Once the initial traps are dealt with correctly, there will be no danger on the stone steps.

After sorting out his thoughts, Xiaotian looked up and was immediately startled.

Xiao Ye, who was beside him just now, had already walked half of the stone steps at some point and was trying to knock on a loose stone slab under her feet.

"..."

Xiaotian paused and walked to Xiaoye's side in three steps and two steps at a time.

"There doesn't seem to be any danger here." Xiaoye walked up a few steps leisurely, turning back and smiling at Xiaotian.

"...Well, it seems so." Xiaotian glanced at the steps behind him.I really didn’t hear the sound of arrows being fired. Maybe it’s because the mechanism has been corrupted over time?

As Xiaoye walked, she looked at the piece of silver falling on the grass below and sighed secretly.

Forget about using arrows, shooting out steel needles like a shower of flowers is too much... Do the makers of the altar really just want to use these mechanisms to deal with thieves?If you install a hidden weapon in a place like this, even your own people will be accidentally hit - maybe they don't actually climb to the altar through the only stone steps?

The stone steps, whose surface has been corroded by time, lead far up into the sky. There are more than 100 steps and a height of nearly 20 meters. On the other side are words with a heavy earthy flavor that have been passed down from ancient times.

This stone ladder is not too long, but Xiaoye and Xiaotian walked very cautiously.Yan, who was following at the end, seemed to feel something, and looked around warily from time to time.

Facts have proved that Xiaoye and Xiaotian's caution is not useless.

When they reached about level 50, their feet sank at the same time.The touch of this triggering mechanism is all too familiar, and what comes next is not the sound of the wind from the arrow flying, but the trembling sensation coming from under the feet.

The entire stone steps trembled violently as if they were about to collapse, and the weathered gravel on the edges rolled down one after another. Xiaoye and Xiaotian were almost thrown down.

The position where the two of them were standing was already very high from the ground. If they fell, they might not be safe even if there was a lake below. What's more, they didn't know if there were any mechanisms in the water, so they had to be more careful.

Seeing Xiaoye's questioning look, Xiaotian shook his head.The information obtained from the ancient books was all at the gate just now, and the current situation was not within Xiaotian's expectation.

In other words, we can only adapt to circumstances.Xiao Ye looked at the platform in front of her, and something seemed to be rising from the center of the trembling stone platform.

Just when he was about to stand up and take a closer look at the changes on the platform, Xiaoye's movements suddenly stopped.

"Get down!"

Xiaotian, who was standing at the back, didn't know what happened, but when he heard Xiaoye's urgent shout, he still leaned down reflexively.

A row of arrows came from directly in front and flew past the hair on the top of their heads.Suddenly, several dark holes can be seen in the center of the steps ahead.

Was the sound of arrows being fired masked?Xiaotian frowned.

It was hard to distinguish the faint sound of wind produced by the arrows amid the din of roar.If you continue to stand still, you can only sit back and wait for death. You must take action as soon as possible... huh?

The flash of light caught Xiaotian's attention.Xiaoye's backpack strap seemed to have been accidentally cut open by an arrow and scattered on the ground.A flickering white light was seeping out of the bag, shaking uneasily and becoming more and more dazzling.

Xiaoye also noticed the vibration coming from the backpack, but her action was still a step too late.Amid the violent tremors, the top cover of the incubator shook, and the shimmering fiery red Pokémon eggs rolled out of the bag and fell toward the lake below.

The next second, the girl wanted to jump down the stone steps without hesitation.Although it won't be broken if it falls into the lake, no one can guarantee whether there are any dangerous traps below - with Xiaoye's protection, at least the egg will not be damaged.

However, as soon as she took a step, Xiaoye was grabbed by the wrist.

"Leave it to me." A low and clear voice came into my ears.

A dazzling white light lit up from Xiaotian's hand, followed by blazing wind and high-pitched dragon roar.A huge red figure rose into the sky, whipping up waves of heat and streaking down like a hot fireball.

One of the original Pokémon in the Kanto region, the final evolved form of Charmander, the fire Pokémon Charizard.

There was no need for Xiaotian to speak, Charizard already knew what he should do.Diving down, the red fire dragon flew after the falling Pokémon egg.

Watching the mighty fire dragon swooping down, Xiaoye retracted her right foot that was already hanging in the air and smiled at the frowning silver-haired boy, "Thank you."

There is no doubt that it is much more reliable for Charizard with the ability to fly to retrieve the Pokémon egg than Xiaoye herself.Unexpectedly, Xiaotian would have such a powerful partner. No wonder Dr. Omu safely allowed Xiaotian, who was his own age, to enter this dangerous ruins.

When you leave here, you must thank this rescuer.

As it fell, the Pokémon egg shimmered brighter and brighter, and the subtle cracking sound coming from the eggshell was masked by the howling wind.

The moment the flame-colored Pokémon egg touched the lake water, the brightness of the flickering white light reached its peak.The light caused the surrounding air and water to swirl and entwine, forming a vortex-like shape, as if gathering in the direction of the Pokémon Egg.

Then, the dazzling white turned into a dazzling golden red, and the bright and fiery brilliance shot straight to the sky, shining in the sky of the mountain behind Zhenxin Town.
