Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

Because the space in the utility room was too narrow, Wang Yao and old man Yamada placed all the rubbings on the floor of the living room.

"This one is the ground, no...it should be the sky."

"Is this a tail or a tooth?"

Wang Yao frowned and carefully fiddled with the old paper in front of him.

Although there was no damage from insects or rats, this was after all a piece of paper from thirty or forty years ago, so he had to be careful when holding it.

Moreover, after Mr. Yamada ended his adventure and returned home, he did not organize the information.

At this time, turn it over again and put it back together like a puzzle.

"Forget it...you should come."

Wang Yao took out the Poké Ball.

"Ya~dong~"

Wang Yao naturally sent Daidai to handle this kind of brain-intensive task.

With his extremely high IQ and telekinesis that could control paper through the air, Daidai quickly completed most of the rubbing.

"uproar!"

The cursed doll would occasionally poke its head out of the ground, and then use its materialized arms to fiddle with the rubbings and piece them together.

It seems to enjoy this jigsaw puzzle game.

"You're really capable..."

Old man Yamada is too old to bend down, so he can only sit on the sofa and watch Wang Yao's Dai Dai Wang and his wife's cursed doll play a jigsaw puzzle together.

"Wow~"

"Ya~dong~"

With the help of the two Pokémon, the puzzle soon took shape.

"Okay... now the second painting is done."

Wang Yao walked closer to take a look. Although so much time had passed, the lines printed on the paper were still quite clear.

Click!

Wang Yao took out the illustrated book and took a photo of it.

As he expected, the main subject of the second stone mural was a large bird with broad, palm-shaped wings and a streamlined body.

Lugia - a legendary bird that controls monsoons and ocean currents.

It is said that if the other party flaps its wings lightly, it will cause a storm lasting for forty days.

However, in this stone carving, Lugia seems to appear as a benevolent god who saves mankind.

In the picture, Lugia is flying in the air and flapping its wings, bringing abundant rain and mild monsoon to the humans on the ground.

The change in environment caused the crops on the island that were about to die to begin to thrive.

"On one side is the peacemaker Phoenix King who stops the war, and on the other side is Lugia, the pioneer who helps farmers nourish the land..."

Wang Yao compared the contents of the two stone carvings.

"Then the third one...let me see who you are?"

Wang Yao wrote the numbers in pencil on the lower left corners of these rubbings, then folded them in order and put them in a sealed moisture-proof file bag.

Next is the third mural.

Similarly, with the help of the two Pokémon, the third rubbing was quickly completed.

"This is?!"

Wang Yao stepped forward with a frown on his face.

Different from the previous two stone carvings that advocate peace and recuperation...

In this picture, the "God Pokémon" as the main character is clearly in a hostile state towards humans!

On the ground of the rubbing map, countless soldiers and tamed Pokémon all attacked the mysterious Pokémon in the middle.

And the image of that mysterious Pokémon is also very unique...

A humanoid body, arms twisted like intertwined vines... and a conspicuous round core on the chest.

The content of this stone carving is the most complicated. Through a series of battles and sacrifices, ancient humans finally "killed" it.

And sealed the opponent's remaining round core on an uninhabited island.

"So that's it!"

Wang Yao had an impression of this Pokémon...it seemed like a Pokémon from some universe.

"It's broken, what is this thing called..."

Wang Yao scratched his head and thought, he still remembered this guy's red and blue color scheme... and his unique transformation ability.

But I forgot the other person's name.

……

Deoxys - A Pokémon that was created when the DNA of a space virus attached to a meteorite was irradiated with laser light and mutated.

The crystal on its chest is its core, and its body can change into various forms according to the needs of the battle. [Although it looks very powerful, its fragile body can also be killed on the spot by two high-five surprise attacks.]

"Do you have any impression of this island?"

Wang Yao picked out the rubbings that depicted the enemy's core being sealed and asked old man Yamada.

"You want to find the sealed ancient evil god?"

In his opinion, the mysterious creature in the stone carving, which was targeted by ancient humans, was obviously an evil god.

As the discoverer, Mr. Yamada is naturally very familiar with the contents of these rubbings.

"I'm afraid I can't help you—there's no chart on the rock carvings, and the island doesn't have any features."

"After I discovered these stone carvings, I also asked many elders in the Seven Islands area, but I didn't get any results."

Old man Yamada spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

"The Askana civilization has been separated from the current Seven Islands civilization for thousands of years... In fact, according to my research, the people of today's Seven Islands are not their descendants."

"Otherwise there wouldn't be any related legends..."

Old man Yamada threw out a truth that was somewhat horrifying upon closer thought.

"Is there such a relationship..."

Wang Yao frowned.

Indeed...the Askana civilization, which was able to receive the attention of both Ho-Oh and Lugia and defeated the red and blue tentacle monsters, disappeared in the Seven Islands Sea for unknown reasons.

And with their disappearance, the Ho-Oh and Lugia, who were once worshipped as gods, no longer left any legends in the present-day Seven Islands Sea.

"Wait...sea? Legends..."

Wang Yao seemed to have grasped some key point.

But because there are too few clues... I still can't come up with any specific guesses for the time being.

"Tsk! I didn't expect that the small Seven Islands Sea... has so many stories."

Wang Yao sighed in his heart.

"I don't know if the Ho-Oh and Lugia from thousands of years ago are the same as the ones today."

Wang Yao suddenly thought with some curiosity.

"Do you know the identities of these three mysterious Pokémon?"

Elder Yamada finally asked.

Although he has explored many ancient ruins, he has not done in-depth research on Pokémon itself.

In addition, decades ago, when he was still active in various ruins, Internet communications and social media were not well developed.

Even when these mythical beasts appear before the world, very few pictures or videos of them are circulated.

Moreover, as an elderly man, he rarely paid attention to the news about these mythical beasts...

So until now, Mr. Yamada still doesn't know the identities of these three Pokémon.

"Well, two of them are basically certain."

Wang Yao nodded.

"The big bird that breathes fire is called 'Phoenix King'. There is still an ancient tower where it once lived in the Johto region."

"This large bird with wings like palms is a 'Lorgia'. It seems that there were sightings in the Orange Islands to the south a few years ago."

Wang Yao introduced the other party.

"Although the information of these two Pokémon is still a mystery, some videos or photos have been uploaded to the Internet in recent years."

Having said that, Wang Yao simply took out the tablet computer from his backpack.

We searched for photos and videos uploaded by witnesses on the spot and showed them to Mr. Yamada.
