[Pokémon] After defeating the Unova Alliance, I decided to travel to Hoenn

key? Have we ever found anything like this in ruins?

"Did Mr. Daigo find the key in this room?"

"No, Miss Yayi, do you have any ideas?"

"Could it be the same as the previous puzzle, the key is just a metaphor, such as the key to evolution or something like that."

"I understand."

I had no idea what Mr. Daigo had in mind, so I had no choice but to wait for him to make a move.

Mr. Daigo took out an exquisitely crafted lapel pin from his breast pocket. The top of the lapel pin was inlaid with stones that reflected colored light.

"Mr. Daigo, what is this?"

"It's a key stone, a necessary item for a Pokémon to undergo mega evolution. When it comes to the key to evolution, this is what I think of."

After explaining to me, Mr. Daigo touched the stone at the top of the lapel pin with the boulder on the mural, and then the two resonated and emitted a dazzling light.

so beautiful!

Starting from the boulder, the light spread along the wall and lit up the patterns on Groudon and Kyogre, illuminating the entire room.

When the light filled the entire mural, the boulder on the painting receded, revealing the ancient box, and everything returned to its original state.

Although I was very curious about what was in the box, I stepped aside and left the space for Mr. Daigo.

"Miss Yayi," the man came over when he saw me avoiding me, "I can't read the words without your help."

"Hey, can I watch it together?"

"Of course." Mr. Daigo turned the opened box to me, "Please take a look."

There is a wooden slip in the box. The right side of the wooden slip is a split pattern, and the left side reads in ancient characters, "The road leading to the huge stone begins with a door." Obviously this wooden slip is not complete. If you want to know what it expresses, The meaning requires other clues.

But now, these are not my concerns. I stopped the man who was still observing the wooden slips, and then looked at him seriously.

The man put away his gentle expression and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Any questions?"

Ignoring the pressure from the other side, I asked him expectantly, "Can we go out, Mr. Daigo?"

The man was stunned for a moment and put the wooden slip away, "That's right. However, I thought Miss Yayi would ask me something else."

"Huh? Let's go after dinner?"

Upon hearing my answer, Mr. Daigo smiled and shook his head.

Of course, we can't make a fire and cook in this ruins. After leaving the ruins with Mr. Daigo and bypassing the complex underground caves, we returned to the ground. It was already dark.

I managed to come out after only one day underground, all thanks to Mr. Daigo's help.

But isn't this exit the place where I rested before? There are still traces of camping on the ground, and after going around for a while, I came back again.

It was too dangerous to travel in the forest at night, so we decided to rest for the night and start again the next day.

The lit firewood crackled in the cave. Mr. Daigo was still recording something on the computer, probably information related to the boulder. I was already drowsy holding the Tanabata Bluebird beside me.

Mr. Daigo is really energetic.

"Miss Mei, please rest first if you are tired." Looking away from the screen, Mr. Daigo looked towards me. "I will be responsible for the vigil, so sleep peacefully."

"Well, thank you Mr. Daigo, good night."

Living in the forest for several days, I never realized the need for a vigil. Thinking of Qixi Qingniao who is a little tired every morning, this job is probably taken over by him who sleeps with me every night. In a daze, I hugged Qixi Bluebird's neck and said to him, "Thank you too, Marshmallow."

When I woke up the next day, Mr. Daigo had already left where he was last night. After I freshened up, I waited for him to come back.

"Miss Yayi has woken up?" Not long after, a voice came from the depths of the cave. It seemed that she had gone to explore the cave. Although I kept it a secret from me at first, it’s not a lie that I like collecting stones.

I turned around and greeted the owner of the voice, "Good morning, please excuse me last night...Eh? Daigo!"

The man had taken off his original mountaineering clothes and put on an exquisite suit. When I saw this familiar clothes, I instantly remembered it!

The metal decoration on the cuffs, the red bow tie on the chest, the light blue hair and the love for stones. The person in front of me is an important figure who runs through the main line of the Gem series and has given props to the protagonist many times in the game, Daigo, the champion of the Hoenn region!

No, it seems that he handed over the title of champion to his friend and then went to dig rocks himself.

"Miss Yayi?"

Putting away my divergent thoughts, I continued the greeting I had just left, "Ah no, Mr. Daigo, anyway, I troubled you to keep a vigil last night."

"It's okay." The man adjusted the tie on his chest and told me. "Because I still have things to do later, I changed into my usual clothes, but it seems to have scared you."

"No, I just suddenly realized that I seemed to have met a very remarkable person."

Without paying attention to my nonsense, Mr. Daigo praised me, "Really? I think it's amazing that Miss Mei can read ancient texts."

"hey-hey."

After realizing the identity of the person in front of me, I relaxed completely. But Mr. Daigo’s words reminded me that I still have something I want to give him.

"Speaking of ancient texts, please accept this, Mr. Dawu." I handed the note I got in Ripple Town to the person in front of me, "This is a thank you gift for bringing me out of the cave."

"What is this?" The man took the note and did not open it, but waited for me to answer.

"It's notes on interpreting ancient texts."

After hearing my answer, Mr. Daigo handed me the note again, "This is too valuable as a thank you gift. Miss Mei should keep it. Besides, you have helped me a lot in the ruins."

"I have no use for this notebook, and I feel it would be more useful if I gave it to Mr. Daigo."

Without any more excuses, the man accepted the note and said to me with a smile, "Now it seems that I need to thank Miss Meiyi."

"Then please ask Mr. Daigo to take me to the nearest town."

After packing our luggage, we prepared to leave the cave. Thinking that we would reach the town soon, my steps became brisk.

Before stepping out of the cave, I suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. I stopped the person next to me and said to him, "Wait a minute, Mr. Daigo, please be careful. It's quite dangerous here."

Seeing the deep pit not far away, Mr. Daigo immediately understood what I meant, "Did Miss Mei fall in from there?"

"Yes, it's very unlucky." Although I don't want to admit it, my luck has been really bad these two days.

"I understand." While I was still debating whether to use Tanabata Blue Bird or Sun Eevee, Mr. Daigo had already taken out the Poké Ball and threw it into the air, "Metrogross!"

The strange-colored steel-type Pokémon folded its legs and floated smoothly in mid-air. It's the sparkle I couldn't ask for.

"There are many Pokémon living underground in this forest. The caves dug by Pokémon will occasionally collapse after rain." Jumping onto Metagross easily, Mr. Daigo reached out to me and grabbed my arm. He pulled me up, and then said to me: "But Miss Meiyi is not unlucky. Rather, I am very envious of the luck of falling near the ruins."

Sitting on Metagross, I thought about what he said before. Mr. Daigo is really very gentle and considerate.
