Pokemon Dawn

No.13 The light of life blooms from the ancient altar

"Boom..."

The heavy stone door slowly opened.

Now that he has arrived at 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. No matter in her previous life or in this life, the illiterate Saya, who had zero mastery of this skill, expressed her heartfelt admiration for the "girl" in front of her.

Walking through the stone gate, your eyes suddenly open up. A scenery that is completely different from the dark authentic style suddenly appears.

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 dots the brown rocky land, and a few insect-type Pokémon can be vaguely seen.

Foraging among the grass.

In the middle of the lake, a tall stone pillar stands. On the platform at the top of the stone pillar are several ancient stone tablets, which seem to record some words. The towering rocks are simple and solemn, full of supreme piety for faith - this is where

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 from the south of Zhenxin Town. But no one had ever noticed that there was such a place between the narrow gaps in the mountains.

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

Xiaoye raised her head and looked at the sky. The sun had begun to move westward. It was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. It had been nearly eight hours since entering the ruins in the early morning. No wonder she felt 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 go back immediately. Now that they were in this ancient altar building, they 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, the silver-haired boy looked up and was immediately startled.

Xiaoye, who was beside her 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. He really didn't hear the sound of arrows being fired. Maybe it's because the mechanism has been corrupted because of the age?

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

Forget about using arrows, shooting 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 a hidden weapon is installed in a place like this, even

Everyone in the group will be tricked accidentally - maybe, they don't actually climb to the altar through this only stone step?

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

This stone staircase is not too long, but both Xiaoye and Xiaotian walked very cautiously. Yan who was following at the end seemed to have sensed 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 triggering the mechanism was all too familiar, and what came next was not the sound of the wind from the arrows flying, but the trembling sensation coming from their 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, I didn't know if there were any mechanisms in the water, so I 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. Xiaoye 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. Several dark holes were clearly visible in the center of the steps in front of them.

Was the sound of arrows fired being covered up? Xiaotian frowned.

When surrounded by the noisy roar, it is really difficult to distinguish the weak wind sound produced by the arrows. If you continue to stay still, you can only sit 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 from the bag, shaking uneasily and becoming more and more dazzling.

Xiao Ye also noticed the vibration coming from the backpack, but her action was still a step too late. In the violent tremor, the flashing fiery red Pokémon egg rolled out of the bag and fell towards the lake below.

Oops! Xiaoye realized that she had forgotten the unstable element in her bag.

The next second, Xiaoye did not hesitate to jump down the stone steps to protect the Pokémon egg. Although it would not break if it fell into the lake, no one could guarantee whether there were dangerous traps below - with Xiaoye's protection.

, at least to ensure that the egg will not be damaged.

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

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

A dazzling white light shines 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.

Without Xiaotian opening his mouth, Charizard already knew what he had to do. He dived down, and the red fire dragon chased the falling Pokémon egg and flew away.

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 a Charizard with the ability to fly to retrieve the Pokémon eggs than Xiaoye herself. I didn’t expect Xiaotian to have such a powerful partner. No wonder Dr. Omu felt confident letting Xiaotian, who is the same age as himself, enter this place.

A dangerous ruin.

When you leave here, you must thank the little genius.

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

When the flame-colored Pokémon egg touched the lake water, the brightness of the flickering white light reached its peak. The light drove the surrounding air and water to rotate and entwine, forming a vortex-like shape, as if moving in the direction of the Pokémon egg.

General gathering.

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 behind the mountains of Zhenxin Town.
