Pokémon: Thunder Shatters the Darkness

In the cave path.

The appearance of the lamp is still shabby, but the mouth of the lamp is strangely clean.

There is absolutely no trace of the marks that would be left on the mouth of the oil lamp after long-term use.

The Red Lotus tribe leader stared blankly at the oil lamp, instinctively took a step forward, but then took a few steps back in an instant.

It could feel that the key to the young man's words just now lay in the ancient lamp in his hand.

Although this smell was relatively unfamiliar to the Red Lotus Clan Leader, something mixed in this smell made it very familiar.

It is just like the stone tablet passed down from generation to generation by the patriarch.

for a long time.

It came back to its senses and waved to its second brother who had chosen to block the door after sensing the presence of someone.

The second brother looked at the boy and the lantern in his hand warily, then slowly disappeared hesitantly.

"With this, maybe it will work."

Yang Xiao looked at the lamp in his hand with deep eyes.

now.

He really had a strong sense of destiny, but as he said, it didn't matter anymore.

Because he didn't feel any negative push.

The only problem is that although this lamp looks similar to ancient oil lamps, it actually gains special powers by burning souls.

Can there be souls among the charcoal people?

In this regard.

Chief Honglian did not answer immediately, but took a few breaths, trying to suppress his body that was gradually trembling with excitement.

Is there really hope?

Count your breaths.

It then looked at the young man, then fixed its gaze on the charcoal servant, and nodded slightly.

I don’t know if it counts, but…

Maybe there is.

...

The Red Lotus tribe leader stood in front to lead the way, while Yang Xiao followed closely behind, holding the little servant Tan.

They still shuttled through the winding cave paths.

The clan leader only told Yang Xiao that the place they were going to was the most mysterious place in the clan.

As for the rest, not a single word was revealed.

Although he didn't say it, Yang Xiao actually had some guesses in his mind.

The clan leader just said that once Crimson Knight dies in battle, it will not leave a corpse like most Pokémon, but will be directly reduced to ashes.

This obviously does not conform to Yang Xiao's understanding of Pokémon.

It's not that the situation of being reduced to ashes won't happen, but it usually only occurs on ghost-type Pokémon.

therefore.

If the clan leader was not lying, it meant that there was an irresistible force that transformed the Red Lotus Armor Rider into a state of death and ashes after he lost his life.

Then where is the soul to speak of?

But the clan leader still chose to lead them to move, which meant that the disappearance might not be an ordinary disappearance...

Perhaps, it is more like a state of being absorbed?

Even if the soul is absorbed, doesn’t it still exist?

Combined with what the clan leader said when he lost control of his emotions...

Yang Xiao lowered his eyes slightly, his face calm.

Is it the stone tablet that the tribe used to record history?

...

Swah——

Chief Honglian slowly stopped and looked at the slightly dim cave in front of him.

It lowered its head somewhat humbly.

next second.

It turned and looked at the boy, its eyes full of humanity, flashing with complex emotions that blended reason and sensibility.

The place where the stone tablet is stored is a secret among the tribe.

Just like the sacred mountain, these are places that only the clan leader has the right to notice and move around.

For hundreds of years, no creature other than the successor patriarch has ever entered.

And now, if the patriarch wants to save his children, he may have to let Yang Xiao, an outsider, in.

Entering together with his child, who was destined to lose the position of clan leader regardless of whether he evolved or not.

This is undoubtedly a test for the Red Lotus tribe leader who usually acts impartially.

However, Yang Xiao just raised his eyes and glanced at the patriarch, and he was not worried about this problem at all.

Because no living creature is born with a programmed character.

They are life, like patriarchs.

After it was certain that Tan Xiaoshi could not pass the Red Lotus Trial, it understood that its child would no longer be qualified to inherit the title of patriarch.

Even a tradition that has been passed down from one generation to another has never changed in hundreds of years.

However, in order to ensure the future of the tribe, it took the initiative to interrupt the inheritance and prepared to establish a new tribe leader.

And among them, it also has the selfish desire of wanting its children to live longer.

Therefore, he ruthlessly rejected Tan Xiaoshi's request to participate in the Red Lotus Trial.

Although the decision was painful for the clan leader, Yang Xiao believed that no matter how he behaved, he was extremely determined in his heart.

Because it was an "established fact" at the time that Tan-sama could not evolve.

Since it cannot be changed, you can only convince yourself and choose to accept it.

But it's different now.

When children have the possibility to evolve, perhaps some things may not be so strict.

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. This sentence is profound, yet easy to understand.

Yang Xiao's eyes drooped slightly, his pupils swaying slightly in his eye sockets, but they quickly calmed down and became cold again.

Swish!

A blaze of flames rushed towards the cave ahead.

As the light spread, Chief Honglian had made up his mind.

It turned toward the cave again, paused for a moment, and then moved forward.

Yang Xiao touched Tan Xiaoshi's head and followed closely.

Walking into this slightly narrow place, Yang Xiao suddenly felt a very strong sense of attraction rushing towards him.

He turned his head and looked in the direction he felt, but all he could see was the ancient stone tablet that was in ruins and covered with words, illuminated by the surrounding firelight.

It doesn't have any luster on its body and looks ordinary, just like the most ordinary stone tablet.

But Yang Xiao couldn't take his eyes off.

[Slate of Fire: A sacred item left to the Red Lotus ancestors hundreds of years ago. It has a great bonus to Fire-attribute Pokémon or moves.]

[Currently responsible for 'Lord of Lava']

[It is necessary to suppress the attribute energy of the 'Lava Lord' at all times to prevent it from releasing its abilities while sleeping and causing the destruction of the vortex fire and red earth]

[Therefore, it is continuously and indiscriminately absorbing all attribute energies within a radius of one mile]

[Current duration: more than 400 years]

Yang Xiao shook his head forcefully to stop staring.

now.

He breathed slightly, his brows slightly wrinkled unnaturally, as if he was a little surprised, but also felt a little enlightened.

in front of you.

The Red Lotus tribe leader was extremely humble and bowed repeatedly to the stone tablet.

This is the treasure passed down among the ethnic group.

Although the stone tablet looks ordinary, every time the patriarch wants to get close to it.

I always get this weird feeling of wanting to have something but at the same time feeling like something is constantly slipping away.

This is the exclusive training stele for Ruojiruoli.

More importantly, although there were a large number of strange words on the stone tablet, it could not understand them.

We can only get some information by observing those exquisite stone paintings.

Yang Xiao has something to say about this.

He pursed his lips and looked at the words on the stone tablet in silence.

OK OK.

These Chinese characters are engraved in very standard way.
