Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

Uncle Xin Zhao did not stay in front of this wall for too long. After all, the Askana civilization had disappeared for thousands of years, and there was no point in exploring the truth behind its destruction.

He came here for the treasures preserved in the ruins.

That legendary...great secret treasure that can fulfill all wishes may be just around the corner.

"There is one last stone carving. Let me see it..."

At the deepest part of the stone chamber, there is another stone carving. Unlike the previous two stone carvings, this one also has several abstract murals.

The mural has completely faded, but the carvings are still there, and one can vaguely see several humans paying tribute to a huge god.

"After a fierce battle, the evil god was finally defeated by them..."

Uncle Xin Zhao combined the murals and ancient texts to translate the contents of the carvings in the stone chamber intermittently.

"The whole process is very vague... Even the divine bird was defeated, but the ending was suddenly reversed, and humans finally defeated the evil god."

Uncle Xin Zhao stroked his chin and talked to himself.

"Perhaps the victory was dishonorable... or there were too many casualties during the battle, so I chose to record it briefly."

Wang Yao walked behind Uncle Xin Zhao and guessed.

"But the description at the end is very strange. Look here—there is only one evil god, but after he was defeated, he was sealed on seven small islands."

Uncle Xin Zhao pointed to the last mural and said.

"And there are indeed seven small islands scattered around in the sea area south of the Seventh Island. Could that be the prison where the evil god is imprisoned?"

Uncle Nobuaki speculated.

But this still doesn't explain...why one evil god can be divided into seven small islands and sealed.

"Tsk... these ancient people are pretty cruel. It looks like they suffered a lot of casualties, so they want to retaliate like this."

Wang Yao clicked his tongue a few times and complained.

This so-called sealing to seven small islands...isn't it just dismembering the defeated evil god?

However, he remembered that the red and blue gummy candy had a core, and as long as the core was still there, it could be resurrected, so this operation seemed to have no effect on the opponent.

"But... seven small islands? Isn't this place called the Seven Island Sea? Are there any connections between the two..."

Wang Yao's focus was not on this. Instead, he walked a few steps closer with some confusion and looked carefully at the carvings on the stone wall.

"It should be just a coincidence. After all, there are actually more than seven islands in the Seven Islands. Many of the islands are twin islands or even small archipelagos. Although they are called seven islands, there are actually more than a dozen islands in the sea."

"Perhaps the number 'seven' has some special meaning to the people of the Ascana civilization, just like what we modern people call a lucky number."

Uncle Xin Zhao shook his head and said.

"That's it..."

Wang Yao felt that Xin Zhao's explanation made some sense.

"My lucky number is thirteen."

Wang Yao suddenly said in a somewhat eccentric tone.

"Thirteen? Most people think this number is unlucky, right?"

Uncle Xin Zhao was also distracted by Wang Yao's words and replied along with what he said.

"There's an old saying that goes 'other people's misfortune is my luck'. Although it sounds like gloating, I'm not the kind of person who follows the crowd."

Wang Yao explained in a somewhat careless manner.

"What about you, uncle?"

Wang Yao asked casually.

"I used to be a businessman, so my lucky number is naturally '8', and my hotel is located at No. 88 Feiyun Street. Isn't it very auspicious?"

Uncle Xin Zhao introduced it with some complacency.

To get such a good house number in the core area of ​​Feiyun City, it is impossible without some connections in the city hall.

"You are really old-fashioned...uncle."

Wang Yao didn't feel anything about this.

"...No matter what, I'm still better than you."

Uncle Xin Zhao turned around and gave Wang Yao a cold look.

In his opinion, young people like Wang Yao just like to be different and don’t know that sometimes traditional things are the best.

"Really... why are we discussing this? Business is more important! Let's go find the mechanism in the stone chamber!"

Uncle Xin Zhao finally reacted.

"This stone chamber is buried deep inside the mountain. It took so much effort to build it. It is impossible that it was built just to preserve a few stone carvings. There must be some secret."

Uncle Xin Zhao looked around, trying to find the mechanism hidden in the stone chamber.

"If you want to find the mechanism, using ultrasound or X-ray vision is the most convenient way."

Wang Yao stroked his chin and thought.

"Do you have a Pokémon like this?"

Uncle Xin Zhao was holding a pointed geological hammer and hammering on the floor of the stone chamber.

Hearing this, he raised his head and asked.

"Yes, I have, but I don't have it with me."

Wang Yao scratched his head in embarrassment.

buzzing...

As he was speaking, Wang Yao felt the Poké Ball on his waist seemed to tremble.

"Huh? This is..."

Wang Yao subconsciously reached for his waist.

"Come out, Ulla."

boom--!

The Poké Ball popped open, and the person who appeared in front of the two was none other than the lone ranger, Ulla, who had just joined the team in the snowy valley on the fourth island.

"Meow~"

Xianla folded his paws and showed his signature naughty smile on his face.

"What are you doing here at this time? Can you do ultrasound?"

Wang Yao looked at the little guy in front of him and asked with his head tilted.

"Meow? Meow meow~"

Xianla shook his head, then proudly showed his claws, looking eager to try.

"It's Aura. This kind of Pokémon is rare..."

Uncle Xin Zhao stopped what he was doing, brushed the dust off his knees, and stood up from the ground.

"Why didn't I let you out when we were having dinner just now?"

Perhaps because of his previous professional habit as a chef, Uncle Nobuaki's focus is somewhat different from others.

"Maybe it was because it was too hungry after living in the wild. After I tamed it, it would sleep when it was full and eat when it woke up..."

"At noon, I haven't completely digested the meal from last night."

Wang Yao stared at Xianla's slightly protruding belly and complained.

It's only been a few days, but I feel like this guy has gained a lot of weight... He was very slim when I first captured him.

Is he really a pig-raising genius?

"I read in the illustrations before that the xiaola are born thieves. If they are thieves... they might be good at finding traps."

Wang Yao also roughly understood the reason why Ula jumped out of the Poké Ball on his own initiative.

As a natural Pokémon thief, Ulla should be able to perform the task of searching for mechanisms and traps in ancient ruins.

"Meow~"

For other Pokémon, "thief" might be a derogatory word, but in the eyes of Ula, it is the best compliment to himself.

"Really? Never mind. There's strength in numbers anyway. Hu Shuo Shu, why don't you come out and help too?"

Uncle Xin Zhao was a little skeptical about this, but after thinking about it, he also released a Pokémon as a helper.

"Who knows...then you can just give it a try."

Wang Yao touched Xianla's little head and encouraged him.

"Meow~"

After receiving recognition from his trainer, Ula felt full of energy.

It has long been looking for an opportunity to prove itself.

As a lone traveler in the world, I must be more powerful than those fellow tribesmen who form gangs and factions!
