"Ahhh......hh

For Ash, it is much more painful to watch his partner fall into danger in order to save himself than to be in distress.

On the side, the brown-haired boy's expression was a little complicated. He knew that Ash would step into the cave because of his own push, and that Saya would be locked up in it indirectly by himself.

As Shigeru struggled with whether to say "I'm sorry", Sayo's voice came out.

"It doesn't matter. Also, it's a lot of fun. Through the heavy stone door, Xiao Ya's voice was a little indistinct, but you can still imagine the same smiling face as usual when Xiao Ya said this.

"Interesting?" Ash tilted his head in confusion.

"Hmm. I think this is an ancient relic. As she spoke, the light of a candle in her field of vision stretched forward and disappeared at the bend in front of her.

The moment the stone gate fell, the candles hanging on the wall automatically lit up, presumably controlled by the mechanism linked to the stone gate. The flickering light of the fire dispelled the darkness and also illuminated the unknown symbols and frescoes carved into the walls.

"Ruins??" The three outside all had stunned faces. Compared to the words such as mines and caves, the term "ruins" is much higher.

"Judging from the clothes of the people on the mural, it should not be a modern work. "Little Night. It doesn't take much knowledge to notice this - on the blurred frescoes. People stand solemnly around the altar-like building, clasping their hands together in prayer.

The figure is dressed in a simple coarse cloth coat and a bizarre headdress, and the surrounding buildings are also low bungalows. Every detail is enough to show that this is not a scenario that will exist in this era.

This huge mural seems to convey something to the people who came, but unfortunately the picture is heavily weathered and blurry, and Xiao Ye does not know the ancient words.

However, it seems to be a remarkable place that at least 100 years have passed, and the mechanism in the ruins is still functional. Xiao Ye looked at the candle light that lit up automatically after the stone door fell.

In other words, most of the traps used to defend against foreign enemies should also be intact. Fortunately, it was himself who was imprisoned, not Ash.

"Eh, eh, eh, mural?" The curious little cloud had already pounced on the door, looking like he wanted to see through the stone door to see the mural inside.

While groping around the stone gate to find the mechanism to open the stone gate, Xiao Ye described the situation inside to Ash and the others. Soon, the attention of the three outside was completely absorbed by what Xiao Ye had said, and Ash and Xiao Yun were even more eager to lift the stone door and rush in—of course it was impossible.

Completely forgetting that they were worried about whether there would be danger inside.

"This door probably can't be opened, I'll go find other exits, there can't be only one entrance to a ruin of this size. Xiao Ye, who couldn't find a way to open the stone gate, had no choice but to say so, after all, brute force would never be able to lift this tonnage stone gate.

"Yes. Xiaoyun nodded, "But where should we go to find you?"

"I don't know where the exit is yet, so I'll go back to Zhenxin Town to find you when I get out. Xiao Ye raised the corners of her mouth and said jokingly, "Sorry, Ash, I seem to have robbed you of your visitor." ”

"What. Ash laughed, "Then we'll go back and wait for you, and tell us what you saw!"

"Well, of course. Well, I'll see you later. ”

"I'll see you later. ”

Listening to the faint footsteps of the three people fading away, Xiao Ye shrugged.

All the best.

How could there be no danger in such a ruin?, but with a few casual words, Saya completely guided the thoughts of the three of Ash in another direction. It's useless to be in a hurry outside, it's better to be in a relaxed mood.

In fact, Sayo doesn't know anything about ancient times, and things like "there must be another exit" are just casual remarks. However, there is no other way to go anyway, but to go all the way.

Without hesitating for a second, Saya calmly raised her feet and walked to the depths of the ruins by the light of the candle flame hanging on the wall.

As for the possible trap mechanism or something, just see the move.

"Anyway, it's still early, let's go to Dr. Oki's research institute to play! By the way, wait for Xiaoye~" Xiaoyun jumped in front. Everyone knows that Xiao Ya often stays at Dr. Oki's research institute to help, much longer than at home - after getting along for so long, everyone knows the situation in Xiao Ya's family, and it is too boring to be alone in an empty house all the time.

The enthusiastic green-haired girl also invited Xiao Ye to live at her house, but Xiao Ye politely declined. Xiao Ye said that he was used to living alone, and soft and complex emotions such as loneliness and loneliness were completely incompatible with Xiao Ye's character, and there was nothing wrong with being quiet.

"Yes, yes. Ash nodded, "When Xiao Ye finds the location of the exit, we must go in and have a fun as well!"

"Hmm...... What's wrong, Xiao Mao?" Xiao Yun looked at the brown-haired boy with a slightly frown brow in confusion, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I always feel like ......," Shigeru thought with his chin propped, "as if we had forgotten something important." ”

"Huh?" "Monk Xiao Zhi was confused, "What are you talking about?" By the way, I heard that Dr. Oki has a new Pokémon there, right? Let's check it out!"

"That's what I said, let's go, let's go!"

The black-haired boy and the green-haired girl run along the trail towards the town. Xiao Mao shook his head, temporarily ignoring the inexplicable strange feeling in his heart, and kept up with the footsteps of the two.

"Dr. Ohki, excuse me!" Ash pushed open the door to the institute in a frustrated manner. Dr. Oki never stopped the kids from making trouble in the Institute, and the whole Institute always became like a children's amusement park - though the Institute would have been chaotic enough without Ash and their toss.

For example, instant noodle boxes everywhere.

Pushing open the door, Ash and the others saw Dr. Oki talking to someone. Standing across from Dr. Oki was a young man who was familiar to the three of them—his long silver hair slanted over his shoulders, and his handsome face was as delicate as a girl's. The young man's skin is fair, his facial features are soft, and his ice blue eyes are as bright as stars, if it weren't for that cold and serious face, maybe he would really be misgendered.

The boy and Dr. Ohki looked sideways at the door at the same time, and Ash and the three of them froze in place when they saw the boy. Xiao Yun raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, convinced that he was not dazzled, and even Xiao Mao showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Little ??!"

The silver-haired boy nodded to the three of them, and said hello.

Xiao Tian [Sora], the last person of the original Zhenxin Town's quasi-trainers, is also the only one Xiao Ye has never met. Xiao Tian's father often takes Xiao Tian to travel around the world, rarely returns to Zhenxin Town, and occasionally comes back and sets off soon. It's no wonder that the three of them put on shocked faces - after all, this pair of father and son who don't see each other are rarely online.

Of course, compared to his own true Ten Thousand Years Divine Hidden father, Xiao Tian has been in Zhenxin Town for a long time.
